THE DESCENT OF EVIL GODS

The days passed in a blur of training, research, and preparation.

Despite Su Chen's efforts, the weight of the inevitable war loomed over Huaxia like a dark cloud. He had awakened powerful warriors, created new training methods, and pushed himself beyond mortal limits.

But he knew it wasn't enough.

Billions of gods were waiting.

And time was running out.

The Meeting of Leaders

Huaxia's highest officials, including generals, scientists, and strategists, gathered in a heavily fortified military bunker. The walls were reinforced with mana-infused steel, and dozens of security measures ensured no unwanted surveillance.

A massive holographic screen displayed the projected arrival of the gods. Red markers covered the planet, indicating locations of divine descent.

"This is what we face." Su Chen's voice was calm but heavy. "The first wave will bring lesser gods. The real threat will follow."

Some officials swallowed hard, while others clenched their fists.

"We must unite the world," said General Liu Sheng. "If other nations—"

"They won't listen," Su Chen interrupted coldly.

Silence fell over the room.

"They don't believe me. They don't believe in gods," he continued. "They scoffed at me when I warned them. They call Huaxia delusional."

He waved his hand, and another screen appeared.

It showed official transcripts of his recent attempts to contact world leaders:

The Western Alliance outright dismissed him, believing him to be spreading fear.

The Eastern Union ignored all messages.

Several nations called him a liar, claiming Huaxia was fabricating threats for political gain.

Even when he demonstrated his abilities, showing them mana techniques beyond human comprehension, they labeled it as special effects or deceptive tricks.

Only Huaxia had the foresight to prepare.

Su Chen exhaled. "We will have to fight alone."

The officials remained silent.

They all understood.

This wasn't just a war for survival—it was a war where humanity itself refused to fight.

Strengthening Huaxia's Defenses

With no international cooperation, Huaxia had to rely on its own power.

In response, Su Chen worked with scientists, engineers, and strategists to push Huaxia's defenses to their absolute limit.

New measures were taken:

Mass production of high-tier weapons infused with mana for anti-god combat. These included swords that could cut through divine flesh and guns that fired energy-enhanced bullets.

Underground fortresses built to protect civilians from large-scale divine attacks. These fortresses were hidden beneath mountains and lakes, ensuring the gods couldn't locate them easily.

Magical barriers designed to block divine influence. The gods would attempt to control human minds or suppress human mana, but these barriers would negate divine pressure.

More importantly—

Su Chen accelerated his awakening programs.

If Huaxia couldn't rely on other nations, then Huaxia alone would stand against the gods.

The Birth of a New Generation

Within a secret training facility, dozens of awakened warriors stood before Su Chen. They were the strongest recruits from his training programs—the future leaders of Huaxia's resistance.

Su Chen scanned the room. These people weren't just soldiers.

They were warriors forged in desperation.

"Your goal is simple," Su Chen said. "Kill gods."

The room remained silent.

No one hesitated.

They had already accepted their fate.

They had seen the truth.

And they were ready.

But Su Chen knew that readiness was not enough.

They needed power.

Real, undeniable power.

And there was only one way to obtain it—

Kill a god.

The gods had not yet fully descended, but there were remnants of their presence scattered across the world. Divine creatures, divine artifacts, and weaker divine beings.

Su Chen had a plan.

They would not wait for the gods to arrive.

They would go to them first.

The Preemptive Strike

Su Chen stood in front of a massive war map of Huaxia, marking locations where divine activity had been detected.

"Here," he said, pointing to a mountainous region. "The ruins of the past civilization hold traces of divine energy. I believe there may be a divine creature lurking there."

General Liu Sheng frowned. "A divine creature? Not a god?"

"Not yet," Su Chen said. "But killing it will still grant us divine essence. And that essence will make us stronger."

The warriors clenched their fists.

They needed strength.

And they would take it from the gods themselves.

Su Chen turned to his team.

"We leave tomorrow."

The first battle against the divine was about to begin.

And with it—

The war for humanity's survival had truly begun.
