ROARRRRR!!!

A group, having just finished offering their sacrifice, was joyously descending the mountain when suddenly from deep within the mountain behind them, a roar rang out. It was so powerful it seemed to pierce their souls and shatter their bodies.

“What has happened?”

The sound, more terrifying than the rumble of thunder, echoed in the mountains. The people, who had been wondering what blessings the Heavenly God would bestow upon them after the sacrifice, all turned around in shock.

Then, within the crowd, entranced by the blessings of the divine, the demons saw a winged tiger, larger than the mountain ranges, rising from the Sword Mountain Peak they had just left. Enraged winds and streams scattered the mist that hung around the mountains.

“What is that?”

The evil god, fallen into the path of the demons, reveals its true form without any disguise. This sight horrified the “humans”, turning their faces as white as a sheet. They had never seen the real face of the god they worshiped.

“God!”

“That is the Lord of the Heavenly Gods!”

“Everyone kneel down now!”

“Bow your heads quickly, don’t disrespect the Lord of the Heavenly Gods.”

This group of demons, clothed in human skin, soon realized that this enormous tiger, grown with wings on its back, was the very Mountain god they had been offering sacrifices to over the years.

Many people in the village had been wondering, what did the Heavenly God on the mountain actually look like? Now, their doubts were finally cleared. It was a winged tiger, no wonder it demanded a pair of young boys and girls to eat every day.

An evil tiger devouring humans!

Even after learning this, and despite the stench of meaty wind coming towards them, these “humans” who had already received favors from the Heavenly God still fell prostrate on the ground, knelt down, and worshipped the evil god who reigned over the mountains with devout faces.

“May the Heavenly God bless me! Let me catch more wives, and give me two fat sons, let my family thrive.”

“May the Heavenly God bless the village with smooth weather and peace throughout the seasons!”

“I want divine power, I want to become an enemy of thousands, I want to become a great general.”

As soon as they glimpsed the god, the limitless greed within human nature erupted. But at this moment, the Mountain god had no mind to consider their desires.

With a roar from the Heavenly God, the soul river surged in the sky, countless evil ghosts crawling all over. However, this hellish scene only lasted for two or three breaths, before it was obliterated by an unspeakable and unmatched grand force, like an illusion.

“What was that?”

“The god has been killed!”

“What is happening?”

These people, their minds clouded by greed, could not see the righteous energy coursing through the vast open sky. The people who had been granted divine power suddenly felt weak; their god-like strength to tear apart tigers, leopards and wolves had disappeared without a trace.

All they could see was the Heavenly God, the one they had worshipped for generations, and to whom they had offered countless boys and girls in recent years. It let out a terrified and rushed roar in the air before its huge head, as large as a small mountain, fell from its neck.

Thick blood sprayed from its severed neck, transforming into a long rainbow that spanned the sky. The god, who had been too frightening to look at directly, fell from the sky. The evil and demonic energy that previously filled the air was now wiped away by a grand and powerful force.

Having witnessed the fall of the “Heavenly God” with their own eyes, these villagers who had become the minions of the evil god did not know what to do, staring blankly at the sky.

After a period of stunned silence, terror, panic, powerlessness and pain emerged in their hearts. Several burly men, looking at the raging dust stirred up by the god’s fall and the fleeing birds and beasts, fell to the ground, crying bitterly. It was as if their entire family had died.

They had long known that the world outside the mountain had changed significantly, it was different from what they knew. There were man-eating demons running wild, and incessant wars. Many refugees had to flee their villages due to the war.

Because of the existence of the “Heavenly God”, they held a sense of schadenfreude towards the turbulent world outside, wishing for it to be more chaotic.

In chaotic times, those under the protection of the Mountain god could capture refugees who fled to the vicinity, bring them back to the village, and let men and women become slaves and prostitutes, respectively. As for the children, they were given as sacrifices to the “Heavenly God”, to ensure the prosperity and the continuity of their village.

But now, as they witnessed the Heavenly God they worshiped being cut down by an invisible force and annihilated without the slightest resistance, there was no sign of it ever rising again.

Having lost the blessings of the god and becoming weak, they understood the Heavenly God had fallen, and the backing they relied on was gone. They could no longer use the power of the god to do evil and bully their kin.

From today on, they will be like the displaced refugees who are evading the demons and war, essentially, there will be no difference between them.

The demons wandering outside the village would have no scruples, and they would not have the power to resist the invasion of the demons. Everyone will transform from hunter to prey.
