"It might be a bit troublesome to say it out loud, but I have a better idea. How about we all go see a movie?"

With a wave of his hand, he produced chairs for the corresponding number of people. These were all collected by Yi Shuihan over the past few days and placed in the newly made spatial props. His personal space was temporarily unusable, so for his own convenience, Yi Shuihan replenished it.

According to his memory, Yi Shuihan reflected the final Resident Evil movie in the void. Void imaging was still very simple for Yi Shuihan.

This movie is far superior to any 3D movie. In many scenes, Yi Shuihan is directly manifested, giving the audience an immersive experience. The language is also translated into a way that everyone can understand.

"...This is my story, telling the beginning and the end of everything. It begins in..."

The movie begins, accompanied by a magnetic voice.

The ancient people were all astonished. Movies didn't exist in their world, especially since they were watching a high-quality version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." They were quickly drawn into the story.

In modern times, or even the near modern era, people who have some knowledge of film are also captivated by movies that are almost like virtual reality.

Those already living in the Resident Evil world were even more focused, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Watching a movie with the main character himself was a first for Yi Shuihan, and the feeling was... well, it was quite amazing!

Alice in front of Yi Shuihan looked younger than Alice in the final chapter of the movie Resident Evil, or rather, she had more experience in the movie, so she appeared more mature and experienced.

"The Resident Evil was truly terrifying. I never imagined that an invention could turn the whole world into this."

Lu Xiaofeng was horrified when he saw the images of a global zombie outbreak. He found it hard to imagine how humanity could survive if the world turned like the images on screen; he didn't want to experience that kind of despair at all.

"Simon, if you were in a world like this, what would you do?"

"Kill! Kill until there are no more zombies left."

"As for me, I'd probably commit suicide. As the king of thieves, I can steal things that are easy to obtain. This world is too boring."

"This is terrifying. Compared to zombies, I think Imhotep, that bald guy, is cuter."

As the answers to all the questions were slowly revealed, Alice's emotions fluctuated. When she learned that she was also a clone, Alice was very depressed. But in the end, seeing that she had chosen to sacrifice herself for humanity, Alice was gratified.

When Alice saw the original body transfer its memories to her, tears welled up in her eyes. At that moment, she seemed to have changed, as if she had been reborn.

Even after the movie ended, many people remained immersed in it for a long time.

After reading about Alice's life, everyone felt sympathy for her while also admiring her strength, courage, and selflessness in sacrificing herself for humanity.

It's easy to imagine that these people will trust Alice completely from now on, and their trust in her will reach a new level.

In Lu Xiaofeng's world, there is a certain degree of prejudice against foreigners, but now this prejudice will no longer exist for Alice.

"Compared to her, the great hero who saved the world, aren't you ashamed, Four Eyebrows? All you do is gamble, drink, and enjoy yourself all day long."

Sikong Zhaixing winked at Lu Xiaofeng and said.

“I’m not ashamed! I’m glad I didn’t have the chance to be the savior. If possible, I hope it will never be my turn to be the savior.”

Lu Xiaofeng's tone was somewhat deep, as if he was thinking about something.

"Thank you!"

Alice expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome. I haven't done anything that requires your gratitude."

"Wave your hand," Yi Shuihan said earnestly.

Why are you raising your hand?

"Um, our world should also be a movie world, could you let us see what happens next?"

Evelyn was quite clever; she actually came up with such a solution.

"If no one else minds, I can accommodate you."

A few minutes later, the Mummy movie series began playing.

Chapter 823, The Goddess Descends

The process of recruiting followers went surprisingly smoothly, which surprised even Yi Shuihan.

The reason it was so simple was that Yi Shuihan promised to help them return to their original world, and that this would definitely play a role. Also, he said that if they were not satisfied after 3 years, they could decide whether to withdraw. Yi Shuihan was a pioneer in this regard, as other God Warriors were all on a lifetime contract, at most retiring to make way for newcomers due to weakening power.

The four fighters added were Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Li Xunhuan, and Alice. The O'Connor couple were also qualified, but Yi Shuihan did not invite them due to personal preference.

Sikong Zhaixing was also very interested in becoming Yi Shuihan's fighter. Yi Shuihan did not invite him, but he took the initiative to say that he wanted to join. However, Yi Shuihan looked down on him a bit. Finally, after the other party kept pestering him, he reluctantly made a promise and gave him a reserve spot. If Yi Shuihan suddenly got carried away one day, he might make him an official member.

For those who did not become fighters, Yi Shuihan naturally pointed out a clear path for them: to go with the fighters to Wulao Mountain, the gathering place around it.

To ensure their safe arrival, Yi Shuihan specifically notified Barragan to come and pick them up. As of now, there are no monsters on Earth that Barragan cannot deal with.

Yi Shuihan continued to wander around Earth alone. He had already recruited 8 fighters. If he could recruit 2 more, he would have reached his limit. Yi Shuihan's expectation was to recruit about 4 more.

Next, Yi Shuihan met the chosen Digimon children but did not recruit them. This was mainly because these children relied on Digimon, and they were somewhat too immature, with little actual talent.

Kaneki Ken, a handsome young man from Tokyo Ghoul, was not recruited by many people. The reason was simply that they felt their personalities were slightly incompatible.

Yi Shuihan actually quite liked Rambo from First Blood. When he watched the movie, he liked Rambo's domineering style and his willingness to fight at the drop of a hat. However, when he met him in person, he found that he was not as surprised as he had imagined. Out of his past liking for Rambo, he simply pointed out a relatively safe route to Mount Lu and gave him a few casual pointers.

Besides the world of movies and animation, Yi Shuihan also met Mario from the game world. When he saw the sewer pipe uncle, Yi Shuihan felt that his childhood had been shattered.

Many of these worlds that have descended upon Yi Shuihan are familiar to him, but there are also some that he is not familiar with. For example, he did not immediately recognize certain horror movies, such as Saw and The Wrong Turn.

Of course, there are also worlds that I have never heard of before. For the people in these worlds, perhaps the protagonists of their worlds have higher talents, but Yi Shuihan did not consider them as candidates for fighters.

In the Sanctuary, Shion, unusually, ignored the difficult situation on Earth and the piled-up problems, and went to the observatory alone, without even informing his most trusted papal advisor, his brother Alex.

Why all this secrecy?

"Great goddess Athena! Forgive my selfishness for not summoning all the Saints to welcome your arrival."

Shion did not wear a mask, perhaps because he felt that this was not the time to wear one.

Standing quietly on the observatory, Shion's expression remained unchanged, but his true emotions were far from calm; his attention remained fixed on the sky above.

Athena's reincarnation occurs in two ways. One is that her soul is reincarnated as a human. In this case, she is limited by the human body and her combat power is not very high. Her greatest role is to enhance the Saints. In addition to reincarnation as a human, she can directly descend as an avatar of her original body. The avatar is stronger than the human body and can exert five-tenths of the original body's power. For Athena, the avatar is also a very precious thing.

In the original story, Athena turned around to wait for humanity to awaken, but now, things have clearly changed.

Before Shion, a void passage opened, and endless divine power began to gather. The divine pressure belonging to Athena instantly enveloped the entire astrological platform.

The pressure did not continue to spread, otherwise the entire Holy Domain and even more distant places would probably have felt her presence.

Under this oppressive aura, Shion bowed slightly. After all, she was his own goddess, and Athena hadn't deliberately targeted Shion, which was why Shion wasn't forced to kneel. Otherwise, even if he were dozens of times stronger, he would still have to kneel.

The starlight coalesced, gradually forming a figure: a girl of about 15 or 6 years old, dressed in white gauze with purple hair, her eyes closed, suspended in the air.

Even at only 15 or 16 years old, the size of her body can only be described as outrageous. Her devilish figure and angelic face are beyond description. She has a divine aura, a gentle temperament with a unique strength, making people unconsciously approach her without feeling any sense of disrespect.

"What a vast and gentle microcosm it is!"

The girl's radiant aura brought tears to Shion's eyes, causing him to unconsciously look away, as if even glancing at her would be disrespectful to the goddess.

At this moment, Shion had put aside everything else in his heart, and all he had was the determination to fight for the goddess to the last second and the last drop of blood.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and a divine light shot out from them. Those eyes reflected the universe and the starry sky, the beginning and destruction of stars, everything in the world, and the workings of truth.

"Are you the Pope of this generation?"

As if he were in the most sacred place of oath-taking, Shion felt as if he had returned to the time when he became a Saint. His heart, which had been calm for a long time, was revitalized, and his cosmos burned intensely.

"Great goddess Athena, your subordinate Shion is willing to give everything for you."

The oppressive aura had gradually dissipated, and Shion knelt down on one knee instead. Athena's charm was truly great; with just one sentence, she completely won over Shion's heart, making him her loyal follower. If Shion were to choose between Athena and humans now, he would probably choose Athena without hesitation.

Athena's expression remained unchanged in the face of Shion's actions, as if everything was perfectly natural to her.

Chapter 824, Another World Advancement

As an incarnation, rather than a human body, she is also given the name Athena, and not any other name. She possesses immense power and has no need for any so-called awakening.

To some extent, this incarnation can be considered its original form. Compared to being reincarnated as a human, the incarnation is completely unaffected by the experiences during reincarnation and is completely controlled by its divine will. Its memories and personality are also almost identical to the original form.

"Tell me everything that has happened on Earth recently."

Athena parted her red lips slightly, her divine power creating a throne, and she sat down gracefully, one hand supporting her chin, looking languid yet exuding queenly authority.

"Yes, several months ago, the Gold Saints returned to their positions one after another, and a month ago, the sky suddenly cracked open, and countless otherworldly beings and things descended upon this land..."

Shion recounted what he felt needed to report, without concealing his own thoughts and judgments.

Athena showed no surprise at the arrival of the otherworldly beings, as if she had anticipated it. Shion's actions did not bother her either. It was clear that she did not care about Shion sending the Saints out to rescue people. Perhaps she truly was a kind goddess.

When Shion mentioned the deity Yi Shuihan, Athena's eyes showed surprise for the first time, and she looked thoughtful.

"Goddess, does that mean even you don't know Yi Shuihan's true identity?"

After finishing his story, Shion asked with some doubt. He had been paying close attention to Athena's situation, and his expression changed noticeably when he heard about Yi Shuihan.

Athena nodded, not intending to hide anything from Shion. "I do not know which god he is, but judging from his behavior, he should not be an enemy. Once we meet, we will know his stance and purpose."

Athena did pay attention to Yi Shuihan, but not particularly. As one of the twelve main gods, she was very powerful. Even Hades and Poseidon, who had existed in the past, were no match for her. She didn't care much about other gods. It is estimated that only Zeus, the king of the gods, would make her wary.

Although Yi Shuihan is a god, she is nothing in Athena's eyes. Even if she is just an incarnation, the weaker of the twelve main gods are not even her match. So a god who is not even one of the twelve main gods is even less of a problem for her.

"Do not tell the other Saints about my existence for now. I will be living in seclusion for a while. During this time, everything in the Sanctuary will continue as usual. You only need to report to me once a week."

"As ordered!"

Despite having doubts about Athena's decision, Shion still chose to obey without hesitation.

"Stay back!"

After saying this, Athena closed her eyes again, sat on her throne, and looked like a sleeping beauty, incomparably beautiful.

Shion quietly withdrew from the astrological observatory, and the first thing he did was to order that no one was allowed to approach the observatory. Then he resumed his work as if nothing had happened.

While Tong Hu of Mount Lu was still observing the seal of the Demon Star, he was unaware that in the Underworld, at the same time Athena descended upon the Sanctuary, Hades, the King of the Underworld, also appeared.

Hades, the god of the underworld, cherishes his true form and hides it in Elysium. He always uses a human reincarnation in battle, but this time he changed his approach and appeared in the underworld in his true form.

Where are Death and Sleep?

Hades's oppressive voice pierced through the underworld and reached a special place.

"I am Thanatos, the God of Death."

"I am Hypnos, the god of sleep."

"Welcome to the arrival of our King."

Two figures dressed in jet-black divine robes appeared out of the void and immediately paid their respects to Hades upon seeing him.

As subordinate gods of Hades, the god of the underworld, Death and Sleep, though only second-rate gods, are still powerful beings below the twelve Olympian gods, claiming to rule the entire underworld while Hades sleeps.

In fact, Hades is even more prestigious than other major gods. For example, Poseidon doesn't have a god like Death under his command.

Even the lowest-ranking deity will not easily submit to other deities; at most, they will nominally belong to them and will not be available at a moment's notice.

Hades, the god of the underworld, has the gods of death and sleep because of his special divine authority, which allows him to rule the entire underworld. The gods of death and sleep depend on the underworld for their survival.

"Lord Hades, why has he descended in his true form this time? Is this holy war different from the previous ones?"

Thanatos, the god of death, exuded a chilling aura, and the wails of countless souls could be faintly heard.

Hypnos, the god of sleep, looks much more approachable, giving off a very peaceful and sleepy feeling.

"Holy War? That kind of thing is no longer important."

Hades' words startled both gods. In their long divine lives, the Holy War had lasted for countless millennia, becoming a habit. The repeated defeats only made them value it more. Hades had previously been so eager to defeat Athena and seize all of Earth's power. They had assumed that Hades' descent in his true form signified his seriousness about the Holy War, but it turned out that this was not the case.

"Now there is something even more important than the holy war, which concerns whether our strength can be further improved."

Death and Hypnos exchanged a glance, both revealing their shock. As gods, they were indeed high above, possessing immense power, but their progress was incredibly slow, especially towards the end, when it almost stagnated. They couldn't remember how long it had been since their power had shown any significant improvement, and further advancement in their strength had become nothing more than a dream.

Now that Hades, the god of the underworld, says that his strength has improved even further, both Death and Hypnos are incredulous. They would rather believe Hades' statement that the Holy War has already been won.

"It's normal that you don't know. Only the twelve Olympian gods are qualified to know all this in this world."

When Hades spoke of the twelve Olympian gods, he looked proud.

"Appreciate further details!"

"You should have noticed by now that some changes have occurred in this world. Earth has expanded a hundredfold, and some things that do not belong to this world have descended. All of this is the work of us twelve main gods, whose purpose is to absorb the origin of other worlds and allow this world to advance."

Chapter 825, The Battle for Origin

"How is that possible? Could it be that our world isn't the only one that exists? And what is world advancement?"

Upon hearing Hades' explanation, Death and Hypnos were both utterly shocked; they had no idea about these things! It felt as if their entire worldview had been completely shattered.

Hades chuckled lightly, quite pleased with the two gods' reaction. "It's normal that you don't know. Actually, before this, I always thought that the world we exist in is the only world, until 100 years ago, when Zeus summoned the twelve Olympian gods."

"He told us the hidden truth: a long time ago he accidentally encountered a being from another world and obtained the true secret of the world from him. The existence of all the heavens and myriad worlds, and the place we live in is only a world of medium limit."
