Chapter 193: Hopeless Situation? Being-Towards-Death!
Link's brows were knitted tightly, and his headache became even more intense. He urgently needed the strength to change the current situation.
The gaze of Aisha—who was beside him—changed. Gritting her teeth, she suddenly pushed Link away.
A voice sounded in Link's heart through the psychological connection. "Run quickly; there should be city guards coming over very soon. Run towards the square; go to where there are many clansmen!"
Link watched as the girl before him curled up the corner of her lips at him and revealed a poignant smile, looking just like a beautiful flower that was about to wilt.
Aisha stared deeply at Link as if she wanted to imprint his appearance in her mind.
In the next instant, she abruptly dashed toward those hideous and evil monsters. She actually wanted to use her life to buy time for Link!
The monsters—whose forms were a combination of frogmen and fishmen—came closer and closer. Foul wind hit their faces as sinister snarls filled the streets.
Under such a savage background, Aisha's slender figure appeared to be exceedingly delicate like a moth flying into a fire—it would be instantly devoured by the flames!
Plap!
At this moment, Link seemed to hear a soft crack coming from within his body! It was as though some kind of shackle was broken, and a small gap had emerged.
A warm current flowed through his whole body, bringing an abundant sense of strength.
The grim situation gave no space for thought. Link tugged off the package on his bag; in it was a blade with purple crystals mounted.
This blade was something that Link had prepared in order to respond to a crisis at any moment after he had regained consciousness yesterday. Now, it happened to come in handy.
Magic flowed out and poured into the blade. The purple crystals on the blade instantly bloomed with a brilliant purple radiance!
Using the purple crystals to amplify magic, buff weapons, or release spells—this was the mainstream style of combat in the clan.
Link's figure leaped out like a sharp arrow that left the bow; he was multiple steps ahead of Aisha and met with an evil being that had come pouncing first.
This evil being opened its mouth. Sharp fangs tore out of the mouth cavity, and sticky, foul saliva dripped continuously.
Those turbid frog eyes were filled with madness and despise. Strange snarls came from its mouth, delivering its desperate desire to feed.
"Food! Kill!" A long spear made of unknown material, radiating an aura that disgusted one, came thrusting toward Link ruthlessly!
Aisha watched the scene before her eyes; there was no longer any color in her small face.
"No!" She shouted in panic; the heart in her chest contracted violently as if it were missing a piece. It was a suffocating pain!
To her, these evil beings were enough to rival the race's Stage Three Warriors. How could Ling be their match?
Aisha didn't want to see the upcoming bleak scene!
But Link's expression was indifferent. He was deep in a hopeless situation; he had no experience of fighting in his memory at all.
But at this moment, there wasn't the slightest nervousness and fear in his heart; there was only surging killing intent in his chest. It was as if he was instinctively used to and adapted to combat!
Piak!
At the instant the long spear came close, Link planted his foot hard, and his figure took off like a wild goose.
Amidst the sound of wind breaking, the blade in Link's hand drew a purple arc!
Crack!
Stale blood spurted!
This evil being's head was directly slashed off by Link and rolled on the ground!
An evil being died instantly, and Link had only struck once!
Aisha—who was behind Link—was stunned at once. The sight before her eyes had put her in disbelief; she was even shocked by it! Ling actually killed an evil being! How could this be? Has Ling's magic attainments broken through Stage Three to reach the standard of a clan warrior? But even a clan warrior wouldn't be able to cut off an evil being's head so easily, right?
Aisha was extremely surprised, but the crisis hadn't been averted.
The evil beings behind followed. Other than a few evil beings that were attracted by the corpse of their kind and stopped to gnaw on the corpse, the remaining three evil beings all came pouncing toward Link.
Two harpoons carrying a strong fishy scent tore through the air and came piercing at Link's head!
The arm of the remaining evil being turned into a long cirrus. Like a steel whip, it broke the air and came sweeping!
Set off by the three evil beings, Link appeared to be extremely thin and weak, even a little tragic. He seemed like a tiny boat inside a storm—it would be smashed to pieces by the huge and violent waves in an instant!
Aisha's delicate body shook, and the rim of her eyes was red. However, the subsequent scene exceeded her expectations; it even made Aisha's eyes widen abruptly.
Under the joint attack, she saw Link's figure swiftly moving like a phantom. The blade in his hands even had a brilliant purple glow; it was like a passing beauty that constantly changed.
Link easily dodged the two harpoons that came thrusting. With a purple radiance, his blade harshly chopped down on the cirrus that came striking!
Boom!
With an explosion, a section of the hideous cirrus that was full of suckers was directly ripped off. The evil being let out a piteous shriek and quickly retracted the cirrus.
Link turned and swung out a strike. It collided with a harpoon, releasing a loud ring!
This evil being's weapon directly shook and was sent flying out of its grip by Link. Its tall body also retreated continuously, the turbid frog eyes filled with surprise.
Link seized the chance to switch his attack target to another monster holding a harpoon. His offensive was swift and violent like thunder.
Crack!
A sound—which resembled ripping—reverberated. The fish scales on this monster crumbled, and half of its body was slashed off. Foul blood splashed all over the ground!
With one meritorious strike, Link did a long-range raid with the blade behind him, and another strike landed!
In the purple glow's trail, another monster's corpse fell to the ground heavily!
Evident fear flashed across the eyes of the remaining fishman monster, which had a mutated arm. Its body actually moved backward!
Aisha's small mouth was slightly agape, surprise written all over her face. She had never heard about these insane, brutal monsters knowing fear.
Link had no intentions of letting that fishman off. His body leaped forward, and a purple radiance constantly magnified in the monster's eyes!
Filthy blood splattered, and the three monsters' corpses laid in disarray!
Link stood proudly with his blade; his body was upright like a spear as he coldly faced the 100-odd monsters behind him. He was like a true demon lord!
At this moment, footsteps sounded—the city guards had arrived.
The Holy City's defense line was breached, and a large number of monsters swarmed in. These warriors were constantly salvaging situations in various areas of the city.
When these warriors saw the scene before them, they couldn't help the change in expression.
Foul fresh blood was everywhere. With four monster bodies laying around as he faced close to 100 monsters, this demon lord-like youth shocked their souls.
"You have done well. Good job, hand it to us from here." After faltering slightly, the leader of the city guards praised Link and waved his hands, signaling for his companions behind him to fight alongside him.
The addition of about 100 city guards brought an instant change to the situation.
Link didn't stop either; he charged toward that group of monsters with these warriors.
Fighting screams immediately exploded on the streets!
After a fight, there were now about ten of the hundred-odd monsters left. But right then, a snarl clearly entered everyone's ears.
The warriors lifted their heads at the sound and saw a dense crowd of monsters swarming in their direction—it was a stretch of black!
The city guard leader's countenance changed. He quickly commanded, "Retreat! Retreat! There are too many evil beings; get the high priest to activate the array formation in the Enlightenment Temple and stop this group of evil beings!"

Chapter 194: Return of the Holy One! Isolated Island!
A large number of evil beings rushed in. The Holy City's defense line seemed to have completely collapsed.
Link and Aisha followed a group of guards back to the square.
Due to the convenient communication ability of the public psychological network, the guards had already contacted the high priest.
After the high priest learned of the situation, it was clear that the very survival of the group was at stake. He immediately led several priests to begin chanting and activate the formation.
One by one, mysterious runes appeared around the square. With the high priest and the others' chanting, a loud rumbling sound was heard. The sand and rocks upon the ground crumbled, constantly surging.
Huge, square stone pillars rose from the surrounding square. The magic within them shone brilliantly, and they appeared tall and majestic.
Each stone pillar looked extremely simple and ancient. Each emitted a curtain of light that connected with that of another stone pillar to jointly build a huge defense field.
Link and the others quickly entered the inside of the defensive formation.
In the square, a large number of people—whose hopes had been shattered—slumped on the ground with dull expressions.
Their grief was greater than death. The sea god's abandonment made them feel hopeless about the future and fall into despair.
These people were drenched in decadence and defeat. They were just like despondent puddles of mud.
Others sensed the approach of danger. They heard the roar of monsters from outside the defensive formation; their expressions were fearful and anxious.
In addition to the guards that Link encountered, several other teams also came to the square one after another and entered the defensive formation.
Without exception, most of these fighters were in a pathetic state and covered with wounds.
The army of demons pouring into the Holy City gradually surrounded the huge square.
The ferocious monsters gathered together like a surging black wave. They completely cut off the place, turning it into an isolated island.
The monsters roared as they used their spears, harpoons, fangs, and their bodies to bombard the defensive light curtain continuously.
Golden ripples rippled across the light curtain's surface due to the bombardment, sending fear into the hearts of the people who watched. Fortunately, the defensive formation here was extraordinary.
As a large formation of the Enlightenment Temple, it had been nourished by the faith of many people for thousands of years. Even a godly existence would find it hard to break through in a short time.
Coupled with the high priest and several high-ranking priests' blessings, it would temporarily remain stable even in the face of the army of evil beings.
But the large number of demons surrounding them outside the defensive light curtain still brought deep despair and great panic to everyone.
Everyone knew that the defensive formation was only temporary and wouldn't exist forever. They were just delaying the inevitable.
Once the formation's energy had been exhausted, the defense would be broken, and what awaited them would be their destruction.
Inside the defensive light curtain, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Everyone's faces were a little gray, and their eyes were dull—they looked lifeless.
Some people leaned on each other and wept; others sat on the floor with their faces as gray as death.
Suddenly, a violent roar sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Link looked toward the sound source and saw a wave of bright energy sweeping through, turning the evil beings with their teeth and claws into a pool of minced meat in an instant.
It was the act of a powerhouse at the Sage-stage. Every blow was terrifying and overwhelmingly powerful!
Two powerful auras approached quickly.
"It's the great sage and the Lanzhi Sage, as well as a team. They have returned with a team of guards."
"This should be the last group of city guards who haven't entered the square yet."
Everyone suddenly started talking.
Under the two holy-rank powerhouses' attacks, the army of evil beings surrounding the defensive light curtain was exterminated, and that team was able to enter the defensive array.
With the arrival of this large team, the square—which already had little space—became more and more crowded.
Numerous complaints suddenly sounded in the psychological network. However, the two sages' return finally brought a trace of comfort to the commoners' panicked hearts.
Many people wanted to know what they should do next.
The great sage didn't answer, only asking people to treat the wounded as soon as possible instead. Even he didn't have a better way to deal with the current situation. He could only defend everyone the best he could.
Although he was a Sage-stage powerhouse, there were opponents who were of the same level as him among the evil beings. There were even some who were more terrifying...
There was suddenly a commotion in the crowd, and cry after cry of exclamation sounded!
"Aberrating! Someone is aberrating!"
"He has been in contact with those creatures and has been contaminated by the evil!"
The crowd quickly retreated, freeing up space around the man.
There, a warrior—who had fought with the evil beings—was lying on the ground and panting violently. His face had become hideous and abnormal. Fine fish scales gradually appeared, and bulges appeared on his body. His body mutated uncontrollably.
"Kill him; he cannot be saved," a guard commander ordered grimly.
But the surrounding guard soldiers didn't act immediately. There was an unwilling and sad flash in their eyes.
That was a comrade who had just fought alongside them. How could they bear to do it?
Link watched all this unfold. Just as he was about to take action to end the soldier's pain, the captain took a step forward and cut off the mutant soldier's head with a single slash.
Soon afterward, a mage stepped forward and condensed a few fireballs, turning the broken corpse into ashes.
A group of fighters stood silently, mourning their teammate. But there was a strange look in the eyes of the many people around them when they looked at the fighters.
Many people even started to stealthily move away from this group of warriors, who had fought against the evil beings.
They were worried that they would be polluted and become monsters.
It just so happened that guards had been fighting against evil for a long time, and many of them had been corroded and polluted by the evil auras.
Another soldier aberrated and even attacked the people. He was stopped by the guards and was quickly killed.
But this incident instantly ignited the dissatisfaction and panic in the hearts of many people like a spark.
Many discordant voices suddenly spoke up in the psychological network.
"People who have been in contact with evil beings should not be allowed in. Entering the defensive formation is also dangerous. Who knows when they will become monsters?"
"That's right; aren't you warriors? Go outside and fight with those demons then!"
"Don't affect us; you're contaminating us and turning us into monsters!"
"It's all your fault for being useless. You let us be surrounded by evil beings. What right do you have to enter the defensive formation?"
The situation gradually intensified, and these dissatisfied complaints finally turned into a single voice.
"Everyone who has come into contact with evil beings should get out. Don't bring the pollution into the formation!"
Many people began to drive away the guards who used their lives and blood to protect them.
They wanted to drive the guards out of the defensive formation, wanted them to drag their broken bodies and continue fighting with the monsters.
This was tantamount to sending them to their deaths!
As people who had been in contact with evil beings, Link and Aisha were also targeted!

Chapter 195: We Are Different! Making a Stand!
Looking at the agitated crowd, Link knew that the danger of the aberrating soldiers was just an excuse—an excuse for the people to vent all kinds of negative feelings.
The aberrated could be suppressed and killed, but the human heart was hard to predict. It wasn't that there was no opposition to this approach, but these voices of reason were too sporadic and were soon drowned out by the raging debate.
Under such a situation, the majority was always blinded. The only way for individuals to feel more secure in the group was to go with the flow. Thus, as the conflict intensified, many soldiers' faces appeared extremely awkward.
Some of them were pale, and their lips trembled. Some clenched their teeth, trying to suppress the anger within their chests.
Most were confused and astounded, deeply disappointed. They simply couldn't understand why they would receive such treatment when they had been fighting the army of evil beings with their lives.
The people, whom they had been trying to protect, were forcing them to their deaths? What had they been protecting with their blood and lives? Was this all worth it?
Those words were like a sharp blade, fiercely piercing the soldiers' hearts. It hurt their hearts and made their expressions bitter! However, they had no way to rebuke them because the damage didn't come from the enemy, but from behind, from the people they guarded...
The hearts of many soldiers clenched painfully, but there was nothing they could do.
Quarrels broke out in the psychological network. There were even soldiers who almost clashed with some people.
A guard general stood up and stopped the angry and wronged soldiers. The guard general stood in front of the soldiers and said grimly, "Don't forget that we are soldiers. Don't forget our duties."
He was Regus, a Stage Six powerhouse; he was highly regarded in the army.
The moment he appeared, the angry soldiers lowered their heads and stopped arguing.
After he spoke, Regus turned his head and took a long look at the people behind him; then, he walked straight out of the defensive formation.
Although the actions of these people made him very angry, Regus knew that he and the guards did have the risk of aberrating, which made these people fearful.
Leaving the defensive formation at this time meant certain death, but Regus's footsteps were still firm, even calm.
At least this is my choice. I die for my beliefs. Regus shook his head slightly and spoke silently in his mind.
Although inevitably disappointed, he was willing to give his all, including his own life, for his race and their protection!
Many of the accused soldiers turned silent when they saw Regus walking out. Some even had tears at the corner of their eyes that fell silently...
Many soldiers couldn't bear this great grievance and pressure and followed Regus out of their own accord, walking out of the defensive formation.
The people—who had gotten what they wanted—smiled happily behind them.
"It should've been like this long ago! This group of good-for-nothings shouldn't have come in!"
"This group of soldiers didn't protect the Holy City well. They let the Holy City fall and still carry pollution and aberration on their bodies. Are they trying to drag us down with them?"
"They might have already gone to the side of evil and become their lackeys."
Each of those voices made the soldiers clench their fists secretly, a knife twisting in their hearts.
The two sages and the high priest seemed to be discussing something. They entered the temple and had yet to come out.
Seeing that many fighters were about to leave the defensive formation, a figure suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Regus's way.
That figure was, surprisingly, Link.
Regus's heart fluttered, and his eyes became fixed on the determined face of the young man in front of him. A flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Link didn't seem to be a soldier of the city guards, but he held a weapon stained with filthy blood in his hand. It was obvious that he had killed evil beings before. He was a courageous and responsible tribe member.
"It shouldn't be you and your men who should leave," Link said coldly.
Regus's eyes suddenly softened, and warmth rose in his heart. Someone still remembers our efforts after all.
Regus was about to say something when he suddenly saw the young man jump out, his figure as fast as lightning!
Regus was momentarily taken aback. He wondered what the young man was going to do.
Link didn't allow the people to get their way. He rushed into the crowd and quickly dragged two figures out.
The two of them had been clamoring in joy on the psychological network. Now that they were suddenly dragged out, both of them were a little confused as their bodies were suspended in mid-air!
"What are you doing? What are you going to do to me! Are you crazy?"
"You are not dressed as a soldier. Have you also been contaminated by evil, or are you a traitor who has aligned himself with the evil beings!?"
"Stop, are you hurting civilians? The sages won't let you off!"
The two of them screamed in panic and threw all kinds of accusations at Link. However, Link couldn't be bothered with them. He just dragged them toward the edge of the formation.
For a while, the psychological network was quiet. Everyone's attention had been attracted by Link's actions.
Many people looked astonished; they didn't even think of stopping Link.
Link brought the two people up in front of the light curtain and allowed them to clearly see the demons with their teeth and claws outside.
The two men almost freaked out. They thought that Link was going to throw them out of the formation, and they started struggling frantically.
The defensive formation was able to restrict the evil beings' access to them, but once outside, there would be none.
As long as the young man who was holding them wanted to, they could be thrown out to feed the evil beings.
But no matter how these two people struggled, the hands holding them were like iron hoops. They couldn't break free at all!
In fact, because of Link's actions, many evil beings were gathered outside this area. Their mouths were wide open as if waiting to be fed.
"No! Don't throw us out! Please!"
The two men suddenly sagged, begging Link for mercy. They were no longer in the collected state they were before, when they were posturing and clamoring in the psychological network.
Link was expressionless as he directly threw these two people to the ground. He didn't actually throw them out. "Weren't you very happily clamoring before? What right do you have to blame those soldiers who shed blood for the people?"
With that said, Link turned his head and scanned the crowd. His icy eyes looked like two cold stars, inexplicably majestic!
Those people who had spoken badly to the soldiers before suddenly felt chills in their hearts when they caught Link's gaze and quickly lowered their heads.
"The city guards don't deserve to stay here? Then, what right do you have to stand here? Just because of your cowardice and because you only dare to be arrogant and unreasonable to your fellow men?!"
The sound of words vibrated in the air, and many people lowered their heads. Some of them turned red and felt humiliated.
Someone said, "You are also a civilian; you are the same as us."
The soldiers who had fought alongside Link before suddenly stood up. "He's different from you; he killed more than a dozen evil beings!"
As soon as these words were said, the people suddenly had nothing more to say...

Chapter 196: Decision to Join the Evil Beings
The young man in front of them was different from them. He had personally joined the fight and fought against the evil beings!
Many people were shocked; the surprise showed on their faces, and their expressions changed.
There were also people who had doubts. After all, everyone knew how cruel evil beings were.
Killing so many evil beings was simply unimaginable! How could an ordinary young man do it?
However, the young man's weapons and clothes were indeed stained with the filthy blood of evil beings. They didn't seem to have been faked.
This was a vicious man!
The people fell silent.
Link looked at the speechless people and said solemnly, "Don't let the heroes shed blood and tears as well!"
With those words, Link stopped talking. He just stood silently, tall and straight like a spear.
The words reverberated through the air, stately and dignified. It deafened and shook the hearts of all the people.
Many people bowed their heads in shame with guilty expressions on their faces.
One stone caused a thousand waves, and many people responded.
"Yes! The city guards shed blood to protect us, and many even lost their lives. How can we let them cry?"
"We can't let the heroes cry; the city guards shouldn't have to go out!"
"Yes, we were wrong before, and we blamed the heroes who have given so much..."
"Heroes are the most qualified to stay in the defensive formation. What right do we have to make them leave?"
Voices of reason started speaking up in the psychological network. They apologized and supported the city guard soldiers.
Smiles reappeared on the bitter city guards' faces. At the same time, they all looked at Link—who had spoken up for them—gratefully.
Regus was also looking at Link, his eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you."
Link shook his head slightly. "This is what I should do. Let's deal with the pollution and aberration as soon as possible."
Regus nodded and said nothing more. He was a vigorous and resolute fighter, and he knew that kindness should be remembered and not harped on.
Aisha was standing beside Link at this time. There was an unnatural glow in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at Link. Her petite face couldn't help but be admiring, and her smile gradually became silly...
Orders were soon issued, and Regus asked the soldiers to settle the wounded.
In addition, soldiers who were showing signs of pollution would be strictly guarded to prevent dangerous situations from arising.
At this time, the situation was still not optimistic, but there was a little more harmony as the warmth of mutual understanding bloomed within the light curtain.
"You did well." A kind voice suddenly sounded in Link's mind.
Link was momentarily taken aback. He turned to look toward the temple; that was the voice of the great sage.
Were the sages watching what happened in silence? Just as Link was thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the temple. It sounded as if a fight had taken place!
The people and the city guards cast their eyes on the temple, their faces full of disbelief and surprise.
There were two sages and the high priest in the temple. How could there be a fight?
Boom!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the top of the temple suddenly began to shatter. Broken stones flew everywhere, and the brilliance of magic flared.
With terrifying force, a figure rushed out of the temple. He stood proudly in the void as circles of dark-blue magic ripples spread out from him.
"It's the Lanzhi Sage! How can a fight break out in the temple? Has an evil being invaded the temple?" someone exclaimed.
Soon, a few more figures came out of the shattered temple. They were the great sage, the high priest, and several high-level guards.
The high priest and the great sage rose up into the sky. They faced off the Lanzhi Sage with them on one side and him on the other!
"What happened?"
"What on earth happened?" Many people were shocked. They were aware of the tension between the three powerhouses.
It seemed that the earlier commotion was due to the three powerhouses attacking.
The Lanzhi Sage stood proudly in the sky, looking down at the crowd. His deep gaze lingered on Link, somewhat angry and hostile.
Link was a little baffled.
Aisha also noticed the gaze. Confused, she asked, "What's wrong with the Lanzhi Sage?"
Many people were at a loss and couldn't figure out what was happening.
The Lanzhi Sage in the void suddenly spoke. His voice was extremely powerful, reverberating in everyone's mind. "Everyone, our Holy City has fallen, and it has been abandoned by the gods. We have no future..."
His words seemed to have a certain magical power that aroused everyone's emotions.
Everyone's mind whirled nonstop. Scene after scene of misery appeared in their mind. A wave of despair and sorrow spread uncontrollably.
"But for the continuation of the group, I will make a sacrifice. I'm willing to bear all the sins and punishments for the survival of the group!"
As the Lanzhi Sage spoke, the blue magic halo surging around his body quickly turned gray. It even seemed weird and evil.
His body was also undergoing abnormal changes at this moment. His face was distorted, and there were protruding fangs and bulging eyes!
One arm even turned into a thick tentacle. Most of his body appeared to be bulging as if something was squirming under the skin!
This was an aberration—he was degenerating into an evil being!
Everyone's expressions changed drastically; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
Boom!
It was an unexpected turn of events. It crashed on everyone's head like thunder, leaving their heads blank. All they could hear was the buzzing in their ears!
Their heads buzzed!
If it weren't because they knew who the Lanzhi Sage was, everyone would've thought that the thing appearing in front of them was a powerful evil being!
A holy-rank existence, the race's guardian and top powerhouse—Lanzhi Sage—had aberrated!
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood what the sacrifice the Lanzhi Sage was talking about was!
He was willing to fall—to aberrate and become one of the evil beings. By doing so, he would become one of the evil beings in exchange for the right to survive.
Everyone's expressions became extremely complicated. They felt as if their minds had been hit by a hurricane, which caused turbulent waves and raging storms.
And Lanzhi Sage was still speaking, not caring if anyone was listening. "Those who are willing to follow me and live on while carrying the burden of sin and punishment, stand up! This is our hope for life and hope. Your life and death depend on your own choice!"
With those words, the Lanzhi Sage—who had aberrated into an evil being—suddenly smiled. His smile was extremely hideous and terrifying.
At the same time, the great sage's majestic and steady voice sounded in everyone's mind. "It's a pity that the Lanzhi Sage has also been aberrated. However, falling from grace and becoming one of the evil beings is not salvation—it is the way to the abyss. You will lose everything and become part of the madness. My people, I hope you will not make the wrong decision."
The voice of the great sage reverberated in everyone's mind, eliminating all the negative effects brought about by the Lanzhi Sage's words just now.
Everyone came back to their senses one after another, and there were two roads before them. Life and death, persistence and madness...

Chapter 197: Above Sage-Stage! Chaos!
After more than ten seconds of silence, everyone recovered from their horror, and there was an uproar in the psychological network!
Even the Sage-stage Lanzhi Sage had fallen to the side of the evil beings! Was there really no hope?
How should they choose?
Many people's faces were in a trance and full of sluggishness.
Suddenly, a sonorous voice sounded. "I, Regus—even if I shed the last drop of blood and all of my bones are shattered—I will also never succumb to the evil beings who trampled on the homes of our people!"
Regus—the general of the city guards—looked at the aberrated Lanzhi Sage coldly, his face full of disgust.
As soon as these words came out, the other guards also responded and agreed with him. "Yes, even if we die, we won't side with those evil beings!"
"Our race will never become slaves!"
"I would rather die standing than side with the evil beings!"
"The evil demons killed my relatives, friends, and compatriots. Such a blood feud can only end with a battle to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The words 'fighting to the death' sounded, and the city guards' eyes were full of turbulent fighting spirit and deep-seated hatred. The auras emitting from them were vast and majestic!
"Ridiculous!" An ear-piercing voice sounded from the sky.
Lanzhi Sage, who had lost his human form, let out a weird laugh that sounded like an owl's cry—it was cold and ear-piercing!
He looked at Regus and the other city guards and said coldly, "Don't forget who asked you guys to leave the defensive spell formation just now. These people aren't worth sacrificing your lives for! It's better to follow me, survive, and ensure the continuity of our race!"
Link narrowed his eyes slightly. Hearing this really made his blood boil from anger. It's no wonder that this traitor stared at me just now; it's because he planned on stirring up conflicts between the guards and the civilians.
But Link's previous actions had interrupted the Lanzhi Sage's plan.
Upon hearing these words, Regus and the other city guards all looked at Link and smiled.
If Link hadn't stood up for them just now, perhaps many of them might've felt disappointed and resentful. As for now, it was unlikely for them to be provoked by just these few words.
"I believe that some people will remember the sacrifices we made, and these sacrifices are definitely worth it! We will fight to our death with no regrets!" Regus's eyes were extremely firm.
The expressions of all the city guards were also firm-looking. Clenching their weapons tightly, they shouted in a deep voice, "Fight to our death with no regrets!"
These sonorous words oscillated in the psychological network, making everyone's blood boil and surge.
More and more people were affected by the atmosphere, and both the city guards and civilians expressed that they would never give in to the evil spirits!
The corners of the great sage's mouth rose slightly, and there was a gratifying smile on his face.
"Let me tell you all how fragile your beliefs are!" Lanzhi Sage roared angrily, and a terrifying pressure and evil aura shrouded toward everyone!
Circles of black light spread like ripples with Lanzhi Sage as the center! The pressure and influence of a Sage weren't things that could be resisted by ordinary people at all!
This was the suppression from the difference in their lifeforms; those beneath the Sage-stage were all ants to Sages!
Suddenly, everyone's hearts shrank fiercely as if they had been grasped by a cold hand. It made them feel an indescribable sense of suffocation!
The air seemed to turn into a sticky colloid, instantly becoming heavy as it restricted everyone's bodies from moving!
Everyone's complexion changed wildly as they felt the terrifying suppression; it was like the sky was collapsing. Their heartstrings tensed, and their hair stood on end like a wild cat's fur when its tail was stepped on!
What's more, some of the people's bodies couldn't stop shaking like sifting chaff!
The weirdest thing was that everyone seemed to hear inexplicable whispers in their ears as Lanzhi Sage's aura spread.
Corruption and blasphemy led the people to madness and depravity!
Under the influence, the guards—who were originally polluted and infected in the first place—couldn't contain the infection anymore, and they quickly began to aberrate.
Even some civilians who had never been in close contact with the evil beings also showed symptoms of aberration!
Exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.
"Presumptuous!" The great sage snorted coldly. The sound exploded in everyone's mind like thunder, instantly shaking everyone out of that weird state!
Following that, warm and mighty golden rays of light shook and rippled from the great sage, blocking Lanzhi Sage's influence on the people.
Without a second word, the great sage waved his staff, and magical attacks swept toward Lanzhi Sage like a storm!
Waves of air blasts exploded in the air, but the great sage's control of energy was obviously extremely delicate, preventing the air blasts from affecting anyone.
Lanzhi Sage also attacked fiercely; he waved his aberrated arm, bringing out a series of dark light-blades!
The two of them fought one another in the sky, causing loud explosions to sound continuously. As for the high priest, he was smoothing out the energy ripples and shockwaves resulting from their battle.
Otherwise, at such a distance, the people might be killed by these energy waves and shockwaves!
Originally, the great sage was the strongest of all the sages. But after Lanzhi Sage aberrated, his power became much greater than before, and it was difficult for the great sage to defeat him in a short period of time.
Lanzhi Sage sneered and said, "What do you people know? All of you want to fight to the death, but nothing can be changed through your deaths. There are existences above the Sage-stage on the side of the evil beings! You people don't understand the real horror of the evil beings at all! Great Sage Oliver, you are pushing the entire race to a dead end!"
Link's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Existences above the Sage-stage—this is probably the reason why Lanzhi Sage was willing to defect to the evil beings' side.
The great sage ignored Lanzhi Sage and just kept attacking.
The shocking energy waves from the magic attacks' residue continued to ripple out from their battle.
"Neil!" yelled the great sage in a low voice.
The high priest—who had been by the side—immediately attacked as well.
The two of them had joined forces to fight against Lanzhi Sage.
The original evenly matched situation was broken, and Lanzhi Sage suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
But instead of being panicked, a smirk appeared on his hideous face.
Suddenly, several horrifying auras appeared in the crowd!
The auras were of corruption and blasphemy; they were aberrations like Lanzhi Sage, and their ranks weren't low. Among them were even three Stage Six Fallen Ones!
Lanzhi Sage had obviously arranged for a group of traitors to infiltrate the crowd, who waited for an opportunity to strike!
Once this group of Fallen Ones appeared, they immediately caused panic among the civilians!
Everyone was shocked; they didn't expect that the normal people around them would instantly aberrate and attack them!
Ordinary warriors weren't the opponents of these Fallen Ones at all, and the Fallen Ones even had the means to pollute others.
Many weak-willed civilians had been affected by them.
Regus, as a Stage Six powerhouse of the city guards, immediately flew out and fought with a Stage Six Fallen One.
The elite warriors from the city guards and the great sage's personal guards also flew out and fought against the other powerhouses amongst the Fallen Ones.
But there was still a Stage Six Fallen One who had no opponent and was rampaging in the crowd.
"Humph! Fools, you people could've chosen to follow Lanzhi Sage, but you insist on choosing death!" The Fallen One waved his aberrated palm mercilessly and slapped the guards in front of him flying.
Some people—who were already wavering—couldn't help but give birth to the idea of surrendering at this moment. They started to express their opinions one after another, defecting to the Fallen Ones' side!
The situation instantly became chaotic!
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Chapter 198: Fight Against a Stage Six! Recovery!
The great sage in the sky noticed this bad turn of events and was about to help them, but an even more powerful aura suddenly burst out from the aberrated Lanzhi Sage!
Circles of dark light rippled from him, and Lanzhi Sage's body swelled. Part of his flesh and blood exploded, and dancing tentacles drilled out of his body. Following this, Lanzhi Sage's power also skyrocketed!
"Enjoy the stage show I prepared for you all." With a low growl, Lanzhi Sage actually stopped the great sage and the high priest from leaving the battle and returning to the ground by himself by relying on his skyrocketed power.
Among the crowd, that Stage Six Fallen One who had nobody to stop him became a nightmare for the people and warriors.
The warriors with firm conviction were easily torn apart by him. Panic and despair continued to spread in the hearts of the people!
The goal of this Fallen One was also extremely clear, which was to reach the location of the wounded and contaminated warriors.
This was to catalyze the pollution of those warriors' bodies further, make them completely aberrate, and expand the Fallen Ones' advantage.
Just when the warriors were unable to stop his footsteps, a figure suddenly blocked the front of the Fallen One.
This figure was a young man with a long blade—inlaid with amethyst—in his hand. His face was firm, and his figure was tall and straight!
It was Link!
The Fallen One's eyes were filled with madness and narrowed slightly, and his hideous face had a bit of a smile on it. "It's you again! Kid, you are just a civilian. You're not even a warrior, and you dare to appear in front of me to seek your death?"
Aisha nervously watched this on one side, her face pale.
It should be known that a Stage Six Fallen One was a powerhouse strong enough to become a general of the city guards!
Their degree of danger far exceeded that of ordinary evil beings!
Link didn't say a word, only enduring the tingling pain in his mind silently. He slowly raised the long blade, with the tip of the blade pointing at the Fallen One.
During the fight with evil beings just now, Link had already noticed some problems. There seemed to be a shackle or barrier in his body.
The abundant power he previously felt had gushed out from the cracks in the shackles, but now he needed more power—enough power to change the current situation!
"Kill!" With a violent shout, Link used his mental power to charge at the faint barrier in his body. On the other hand, he launched a charge toward the Stage Six Fallen One, his body as swift as lightning!
"Humph." The Fallen One snorted coldly, his ugly face full of scorn and contempt. The arms that had transformed into huge tentacles swung out fiercely, causing the air to explode!
Boom!
Circles of airwaves spread toward the surroundings, and sand and pebbles splashed everywhere!
The Fallen One's attack missed and landed on the ground, but the great destructive power still left deep cracks on the ground. This made the hearts of those who saw this turn cold!
Link flashed aside, and without any stagnation, charged toward the Fallen One again, quickly approaching the Fallen One.
"Oh?! You actually managed to avoid my attack? You won't be so lucky next time!" A look of surprise flashed in the Fallen One's eyes, but he took this to heart.
Although the kid in front of him was a little abnormal and actually avoided his attack on instinct, this kid was just a civilian in the end; he could easily kill him!
Swoosh!
The piercing sound of breaking wind sounded as Link abruptly slashed his blade while he approached. Using the strength of his spinning body, he poured all his magic and energy into the blade!
The purple light blooming on the blade became more and more radiant suddenly, looking like purple thunder as it smashed down on the Fallen One!
A joke-like look flashed in the Fallen One's eyes, and he didn't dodge Link's attack. Another giant hand—which had expanded several-fold—suddenly rose and directly grabbed at the blade's sharp edge!
With a 'chi' sound, the blade collided with the giant palm covered in scales, bringing up a spark. However, it was unable to cause effective damage.
On the contrary, the tyrannical force carried by the giant palm created several cracks on the blade, making the blade give off an ear-rattling humming sound!
The cracks expanded at lightning speed. Finally, the blade was completely shattered, and the fragments shot in all directions!
Link pulled away from the Fallen One and backed away, only a section of the hilt left in his hand.
"Die!" Due to failing to kill a civilian after two successive attacks, the Fallen One was a bit annoyed. With a violent shout, his figure suddenly moved!
The huge aberrated body didn't affect his speed in the slightest. He was like a fast-moving high wall, exuding a huge sense of oppression.
His aberrated arm swung out brazenly, bringing out a terrifying airwave. He wanted to crush Link's head!
The faces of the warriors and Aisha—who were at the sides—changed, but there was no way to stop the Fallen One. They could only nervously stare at this scene, their hearts rising to their throats.
They then saw Link quickly discarding the hilt in his hand before using magic power to control a weapon left by a warrior on the ground, summoning it into his hand.
Link's eyes were extremely cold. Without the slightest panic in the face of desperation, the sword-like weapon in his hand was swung out to meet the Fallen One's violent attack!
Under Link's infusing of magic power into the weapon, the amethyst inlaid on the sword shone brightly, and intense sword intent permeated from it!
Numerous sharp sword energies appeared, accompanying the weapon and colliding with the Fallen One's giant palm!
Amidst the explosion, Link was pushed back by the force. His face was pale, but there was a flash of joy in his eyes.
Sword energy! This was a power he had never mastered!
With the help of this life-and-death battle, Link could detect that cracks had appeared on the shackles in his body, and turbulent power was pouring out from them!
"Again." After confirming the effects of fighting, there wasn't any way that Link would miss this opportunity.
His figure violently moved again, and he actually pounced toward the Fallen One once again, taking the initiative to the extreme!
All the warriors were a bit stunned. This kid really is quite fierce! He's so courageous; does he not want to live anymore?
What made them even more surprised and shocked was that this young man was able to fight back and forth against a Stage Six Fallen One!
This strength far surpassed most of the city guards! At least, they couldn't achieve this; they could only be crushed by the Stage Six Fallen One.
Anger flashed in the Fallen One's heart at this moment. In his opinion, this young man's behavior was a kind of provocation.
And his multiple failures to kill this person made him feel irritable and uneasy. He could perceive that this ant in front of him seemed to be getting stronger continuously!
"Since you are seeking death, I shall fulfill your wish!" The Fallen One roared, the corrosive aura all over his body vibrated, and his attack became even more terrifying!
Boom!
The collisions sounded constantly, the ground shattered, the pebbles were splashing, and the surrounding soldiers and civilians had to retreat far away, in fear of being affected by the stray energies resulting from their battle.
During the several collisions and confrontations, Link was suppressed by the Fallen One all the time; there were also many occasions where he almost died.
Link was like a flatboat, constantly swaying in the turbulent storm. He was on the verge of overturning many times, yet he still endured.
"Weak ant, have you seen the gap? Accepting the aberration is the only way for our race to survive!" The Fallen One grinned hideously and repelled Link again as he tried to persuade him.
At this moment, he was quite shocked. It was obvious that this young man was still very weak previously, but after crossing swords a few times, his strength was increasing continuously!
It was incredible!
And now, the Fallen One was forced to put away all his contemptuous thoughts and take Link seriously!
Link was noncommittal. Instead, he rushed forward once again, his biting sword intent shooting into the sky!

Chapter 199: Kill a Stage Six! Illuminate the World!
Overwhelming sword intent flushed toward the Fallen One. Even though the sword hadn't arrived, he could still feel an extremely sharp sense piercing toward him!
It was like something was pricking him; he felt a faint tingling pain like needles were poking him all over his body. His mind tensed up, instinctively aware of some danger approaching.
A solemn look flashed through the Fallen One's muddy eyes. The sense of danger stimulated his remaining sanity, making him even more angry and crazy. These people deserve to die! All who oppose us deserve to die! The reason we defected was clearly to preserve the last hope for our race, so why are these people still resisting?
"You are seeking death!" yelled the Fallen One wildly as the flesh and blood on his body exploded, and the number of aberrated body parts on his body grew even more!
Numerous bloodshot eyes opened on his body, and an evil, filthy aura emanated through the air.
The ground under his feet seemed to melt, turning into black mud; it was even bubbling continuously.
A secretive and indescribable whisper faintly sounded as if someone was whispering in the dark. It was extremely terrifying!
The faces of the warriors a little further away changed drastically, and the hair all over their bodies exploded and stood on end. A chill from their coccyx rushed to their heads and made their scalps numb!
"This is a domain—the domain of the Fallen Ones! What a terrifying and filthy scent!" exclaimed a warrior, his face pale.
Domains were an ability that could only be displayed by those of Stage Five and above. It could greatly increase one's strength, and they possessed all kinds of unpredictable powers!
Unless their opponents were same-level powerhouses and used their domains to resist the other party's domain, a Stage Six powerhouse was practically invincible within the range of their own domain after they released it!
It was like an extremely bright red word that read 'danger' had appeared on Link's head and was constantly flashing. However, Link didn't think of retreating at all and barged into the Fallen One's domain.
Plap!
The moment he stepped into the domain, Link felt a strong suppression. The mud under his feet and a filthy scent were continuously attacking him, making his actions stagnant and difficult.
In his domain, the Fallen One was like the master of this place. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his arms—which had aberrated into tentacles—heavily pressed down and sank into the black mud.
Suddenly, the surrounding mud seemed to be boiling, and the mud blisters continued to explode, causing the filthy things to splash around!
Link's eyes narrowed slightly. There was still some distance between him and the Fallen One, but his body instinctively sensed danger.
Without hesitating, Link turned his back and swung out his sword. Countless rays of sword energy quickly cut down together with the sword light in his hand!
Boom!
The mud exploded, and what was hidden under the mud were numerous hideous tentacles!
The tentacles were like a group of rioting snakes. They paused for a while after colliding with the sword energy, and many of the smaller tentacles were even directly cut off.
It was this slight stagnation that gave Link a chance to dodge, after which the tentacles swept violently and landed into the mud with terrifying momentum.
The tentacles were soon submerged in the mud again, and a warning signal appeared in Link's heart again. This time, the tentacles appeared next to him again!
Link dodged, but no matter where he was, the tentacles—which looked like manic snakes—were like maggots sucking on a human and wouldn't let go. Link was unable to get rid of them at all.
After cutting off several tentacles once again, Link's mind turned, and he vaguely knew what this domain's effect was.
The tentacles that blocked him were the Fallen One's aberrated arms, and this huge domain was like a door for the Fallen One, which could make his own attacks reach any place within the domain!
Being caught in this domain naturally meant Link had to be extremely passive for now. It was as if he were an enemy of the whole world.
A gleam of light flashed in Link's eyes, and the mental strength in his body kept pounding on the invisible barrier.
Power! I need more power!
"Little mouse, where can you escape to?" The Fallen One sneered. This time, it wasn't just his entire arm; his entire person submerged in the mud and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
The mud beside Link exploded the next moment, and the hideous tentacles snaked out like pythons tearing through the air, rushing toward Link quickly.
This time, the tentacles were denser. No matter how Link dodged, he couldn't avoid being entangled by some of the tentacles.
"Caught you!" Amidst the hideous laughter, the Fallen One's figure emerged from the mud. His dense tentacles had wrapped around Link's ankles, dragging Link into the mud.
Even more tentacles started to entangle Link as if planning to tie him into a ball.
"No!" A little further away, Aisha's face turned pale. She wanted to squeeze through the crowd and rush toward the mud domain, but she was stopped by several warriors.
"Don't go there; it will only increase our casualties!"
A group of warriors looked at Link—who was slowly dragged into the mud by the tentacles—and a touch of despair and sorrow flashed across their faces. Is it over? Is there really no hope?
Regus—who was fighting fiercely with a Stage Six Fallen One—was about to rush to this side to help Link, his eyes bloodshot. But his opponent stepped up the pace of attacks, making it impossible for him to get away.
"Hehe, your opponent is me!" This Fallen One sneered, his eyes full of brutal killing intent.
Just when everyone felt despair, a sudden change occurred!
They saw a sword intent—more majestic than before—suddenly appear from among the dense tentacles!
Sword energy suddenly emerged in the air, circling and flying around the tentacles like a violent storm as they tore apart the tentacles entwining Link's limbs!
A flash of surprise flashed across the Fallen One's ugly face; he obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen.
And a figure had already shot out from the broken tentacles, accompanied by a cold voice. "Caught you."
It was the same words the Fallen One had previously said.
Upon hearing this, the Fallen One's heart suddenly froze, and he had an ominous guess. Could it be that everything that has happened was just this young kid's way of tricking me so that he could find an opportunity to attack me?
In fact, after discovering that the Fallen One could move freely in the mud, Link had planned everything and used himself as bait for this instant attack!
Link's wrist flicked, and the sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air. Other than the sword's purple light, there were even bursts of bright white light!
This white light was majestic and vast and exuded a holy aura!
At the same time, streamers of light converged in the air, condensing into a huge sword that was tens of feet in size. It seemed like it had torn through space and appeared abruptly!
The next moment, this huge and shocking holy sword appeared like it was falling from the sky. It cut down fiercely; it felt like the reappearance of some ancient divine punishment that wanted to quell all evil!
The Fallen One was about to sink into the mud, but this attack had already fallen upon him!
Boom!
Amidst the loud explosive sound, a bright light filled everyone's eyes—the world was illuminated by this white light!
Even the Stage Six Fallen One couldn't resist such an attack. What's more, this light-attribute holy sword had extra restraining and damaging effects on these aberrated Fallen Ones!
The Fallen One's flesh and blood were constantly being torn and burnt by the bright white light!

Chapter 200: Turning the Tables! True Terror!
Amidst the piteous wails, the Stage Six Fallen One died under the massive holy sword!
Tattered flesh exploded, were wrapped in golden holy flames, and reduced to nothing!
Following this Fallen One's death, the ground covered by the domain also swiftly regained its original appearance. However, there was still a considerable amount of mud remaining. This was the corrosion of filthy forces; it had already caused irreversible effects on the ground.
Link panted heavily. Right now, his abilities had yet to recover completely, so using [Holy Sword of the Light] was rather draining.
Presently, it was deathly still within the entire formation.
—Silence!
Warriors were frozen in their spots, their eyes wide like brass bells as they dazedly stared at the young figure on the battlefield. They were completely speechless!
What did we see earlier?
The Stage Six Fallen One was actually killed?
Most importantly, the one who killed him is a youth who isn't even a warrior yet! How is this possible?!
The great shock left everyone's minds blank as if they'd been struck by lightning, their systems almost crashing on the spot.
There were even people who constantly rubbed their eyes, in total disbelief of the situation before their eyes. They thought an illusion had appeared.
Even Regus and the others—who were currently fighting other Fallen Ones in the distance—couldn't help stopping and directed looks of horror to this side!
That was a Stage Six Fallen One, a nightmare in the common people's eyes. Yet, it actually... died... just like that?
Everyone's minds were harshly shaken as if a huge boulder—weighing 1,000 tons—had been dropped into the lakes that were their hearts, lifting raging waves that hit the skies!
The remaining Fallen Ones saw violent changes in countenances, and shock was written all over their faces!
Time seemed to stop. Everyone froze for more than ten seconds before slowly recovering from that great shock.
All the warriors drew in cold breaths, their hearts filled with surprise, shock, disbelief, and more complicated emotions.
Some people even swallowed a mouthful of saliva with effort and said slightly hesitantly, "Dead?"
"That Stage Six Fallen One has actually died?" They probed the people around them, still a little dazed.
"Mm, dead!" Only when affirmative responses came from the people around them did joy gradually bloom on the faces of many people!
"Dead... Finally dead! Great! Wonderful!"
Everyone was exhilarated, and cheers exploded in the psychological network. It was as if even the air had become joyous.
Link's killing of the Stage Six Fallen One was undoubtedly a morale boost for the masses who'd suffered blows time and time again!
The originally depressing and despairing atmosphere was lifted as a result; everybody's eyes now contained more hints of brightness!
"Good job! I've got to buck up too; how can I fall behind a young man!?" Regus guffawed, and his eyes sparkled. The exhaustion and pain all over his body were swept away as he launched a tempest-like assault on the enemy across him.
Under the intense and fierce attacks, the Fallen One opposing him instantly felt a significant increase in stress and harbored resentment in his heart. Damn it, did Regus get injected with a potion?! Why is he so fierce; I'm finding it difficult to hold on!
Link—who had killed a Fallen One—didn't stay idle. After resting slightly and recovering for a while, he launched an attack on the remaining Fallen Ones.
With his participation, the originally deadlocked situation changed instantly. The Fallen Ones unavoidably fell into a disadvantage!
In the air, Lanzhi Sage—who was battling the great sage and the high priest—felt the corners of his eyes twitch hard as strong killing intent toward Link burst out in his heart.
Previously, it was this rascal who resolved the conflict between the city guards and civilians and spoiled his plan. Now, he had even killed a Stage Six Fallen One, causing the situation—which was originally in his favor—to change.
How could Lanzhi Sage, Naiden, not be raging with killing intent? "This rascal deserves death!"
Naiden no longer cared about a powerhouse's pride and whatnot; he simply wanted to crush this nobody who had spoiled his plans repeatedly!
Lanzhi Sage's cirri swung. A black glow—several feet long—that seemed as if it sought to rip apart the universe shot swiftly in Link's direction.
The black glow radiated a strong filthy aura, leaving traces of distortion in the air. Moreover, its speed was extremely high as if it were tearing space apart. It instantly appeared near Link with a flicker!
This was the ability of a Sage-stage powerhouse, and only a Sage-stage powerhouse could shake space!
The black glow had locked onto Link; it was almost inescapable. A fatal sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.
Right then, the space before the black glow suddenly ripped like waves. A shield—condensed from mysterious runes—emerged abruptly.
Boom!
Amidst the explosive roar, the black glow and shield collided. Tempestuous air currents swept in all directions, and the frightening afterwinds tore deep gullies in the ground!
But Link—who was protected by the shield—was without a scratch.
The great sage, who had just released the shield, smiled. "Naiden, do you think we don't exist?"
Lanzhi Sage, Naiden, glared at them with bulging eyes. His aura surged, almost exploding on the spot.
After a roar, he clashed with the great sage and the high priest once again.
In the air, streaks of magic brilliance bloomed. The three powerhouses' figures interlocked as violent forces shook the air.
The combat ability of the great sage and the high priest—who both no longer had any qualms and worries—improved. Under their joint efforts, even the aberrated Lanzhi Sage, Naiden, found it difficult to resist.
The two battlegrounds—one in the air and one on the ground—both saw overwhelming changes because of Link!
The tables had been turned with one man's strength!
Before long, the group of Fallen Ones was completely killed or captured. Lanzhi Sage was also taken down by the great sage and the high priest and kept in custody by using a powerful sealing spell.
Existences at the Sage stage were difficult to kill; it was all the more so for the aberrated Lanzhi Sage. They could only seal him first and then slowly obliterate him.
With the subsiding of the battle, many people heaved a sigh of relief. However, the large number of evil beings surrounding the defensive formation made it impossible for them to relax their tense heartstrings.
Lanzhi Sage, Naiden, was kept inside a pillar of light, the energies constantly wearing away his mind and body.
However, Naiden didn't have much fear; he still revealed a hideous smile after being captured.
"You think you have won? Wrong! Absolutely wrong! The true despair has just begun!" Lanzhi Sage's voice sounded in the psychological network. Everyone's mood became a little depressed, falling from the excitement and joy of the victory they'd just attained.
Outside of the defensive formation were concentrated crowds of evil beings. Even if they had killed the Fallen Ones and Lanzhi Sage, they couldn't change the situation before their eyes.
The city guard warriors and civilians were giving first aid to the injured, taking care of their wounds.
The high priest led several members of his office to continue injecting strength into the defensive formation to reinforce it.
The evil beings outside the defensive formation constantly struck the light curtain, raising waves of ripples.
No matter how they reinforced it, relying on the defense formation alone ultimately couldn't be a permanent solution.
Link indifferently stared at the monsters dancing like mad outside of the light screen, his gaze dark and gloomy.
All of a sudden, the evil beings—who kept striking outside the defensive formation—halted. The monsters uniformly turned to look to the back.
A rumble sounded.
Appearing behind them were multiple terrifying monsters. The aura they radiated had already reached the Sage stage.

Chapter 201: Death of the Old Days! Swinging a Blade at the God of Evil!
Those hideous Sage-stage monsters had bodies many times larger than ordinary evil beings—rumbles sounded as they moved!
Their physiques were ugly and evil, enough to keep one up at night.
They were like the aggregates of sea monsters or frogmen and fishmen that were magnified countless times. There were gray or dark-green scales on the surface of their bodies. They also had heads that were hideous like monster fish and sharp fins on their backs.
Green sticky liquid dripped from their body surfaces, a filthy, profane aura radiating from all around them.
Like massive beasts that barged around, they directly crushed the buildings that obstructed their way forward.
And at the very end of these Sage-stage monsters was an existence whose figure was especially large.
The aura 'He' radiated was even grander and more sinister than that of the Sage-stage monsters!
'He' was above Sage-stage! 'He' was an existence that could be addressed as 'god's attendant' or 'angel!'
Once 'He' appeared, just the overspreading suppression caused the defensive formation—which was enough to resist Sage-stage powerhouses—to tremble for 'Him.'
The radiance on the defensive light curtains swiftly dulled!
The evil beings outside the formation let out strange, broken syllables in unison as if it were a different song of praise used to welcome these frightening monsters.
The warriors and civilians that saw these monsters all fell into a massive shock-induced trance, and they instantly lost their heads!
Everyone's faces were deathly pale, their minds buzzing. A chill rose from the bottom of their hearts, seeping into their bones as if they were soaking in extremely icy-cold water or had fallen into an ice cave.
Before this group of monsters, they couldn't grow the slightest ray of hope—they were like insignificant nobodies.
Everybody suddenly realized that their nightmare had arrived at this moment!
The great sage and the high priest wore grim looks, whereas Lanzhi Sage—who was sealed in the pillar of light—had revealed a sinister smile.
"This isn't all yet! We've lost the blessings of our god, but they... They have not!" Lanzhi Sage narrated like a madman. The features on his ugly face had crumpled together, unknown whether it was out of agitation or pain.
His words had just fallen when the ground began shaking. It was as though the entire Holy City was shaking in fear of a certain existence.
An aura even more majestic and even eviler than that of all evil beings had arrived!
The sky seemed to lower instantly. The stars presently above the sky became extremely bright like they were being drawn in by a certain force, coming closer to this world.
The high priest looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky. His eyes were unseeing as he murmured like he was sleep-talking. "When the stars reach the correct position, the terror in the deep sea will awaken from slumber..."
This was a true great terror! The evil beings' god walked out from the ancient murals and faraway myths, and the universe trembled because of it!
Ordinary civilians and warriors were completely unable to get a glimpse of 'His' full appearance. They could only catch some messy cirri, green, gelatinous skin, or those long and narrow wings.
Just 'His' aura was enough to make the masses feel immense fear and madness. It was as if a big hand was prodding their minds.
Their internal organs were being twisted, releasing waves of pain as if a certain indescribable aberration was taking place...
Just a glimpse of a corner of that evil existence, and everyone seemed to be on the verge of being dragged into infinite insanity!
One mustn't look at a god directly!
The real nightmare had arrived; the future without a hint of hope had come.
The moment 'He' arrived, the defensive formation was like delicate tissue paper or a child's toy—utterly fragile. So much so that just the aura 'He' radiated could cause the formation to collapse.
Cracks spread like a spiderweb on those thick and heavy stone pillars, and the originally radiant light screens completely dulled.
The warriors trembled together with the civilians; nobody could be spared from this mighty force.
Aisha held onto the corner of Link's clothes, fear written all over her face. "Ling... Is this doomsday?"
Link's eyes narrowed slightly. "Perhaps, and I'm not called Ling. I'm Link."
Presently, the shackles within his body had been completely broken. He had regained all his memories and abilities.
"Know how laughable you people are now? I am the correct..." Inside the pillar of light, Lanzhi Sage spoke in a low voice.
The great sage and the high priest were also shrouded by a great suppression presently. They were almost suffocating. Even their auras gradually became foul, being polluted and corroded.
But despair didn't appear on the great sage's face. Instead, he was extremely at peace; he even wore a smile of relief.
He didn't look toward Lanzhi Sage—who was inside the light pillar—but directed his gaze at Link. "Perhaps we walk like nobodies and live like dust, but we must still have the courage to lift our heads and look up at the stars."
Link's gaze froze slightly upon hearing that. "You should've known long ago that the destruction was unavoidable, right?"
The great sage did not speak; he only nodded lightly.
The next moment, a massive shadow shrouded the Holy City, Atlan.
This was the god's palm, propagating inexorable destruction and finality.
Before the shadow landed, large numbers of warriors and civilians exploded on the spot, turning into a pool of mush.
Link was also enduring immense pressure presently. His body almost disintegrated, but his eyes were extremely bright like two stars.
Facing the god directly? It was no longer his first time in any case.
An extremely vast and profound aura radiated from Link.
The skill of the title—[Witness of the Myth]—was launched!
[Facing the Myth] provided large amounts of immunity to Link, bringing him some hints of relief. He was unlikely to collapse under the suppression.
On the other hand, [God's Aura] allowed Link to radiate an aura that wasn't inferior to a god's.
All of a sudden, spiderwebs seemed to spread behind Link.
Massive strands of spider silk interlaced, looking like pillars that connected heaven and earth. A mass of an indescribable noble figure rested in the spiderwebs' depths.
A frightening aura arrived, and the universe shook because of it.
Two different suppressions counterbalanced each other, allowing the people on the ground to have a moment's breather.
Everybody, including the great sage, currently looked at Link with faces full of shock.
This was inconceivable to them. Why would this youth's body radiate a godly aura?
But this wasn't all.
Link brought out the [Mask of the Faceless] and placed it on his face. A distorted, nameless shadow then emerged behind Link. Although it was merely for a split second, one was completely unable to forget it.
He seemed to be chaos itself!
With a grip of his palm, that standard longsword instantly broke. Replacing it was a longsword that emitted a king's authority.
As the [King's Sword]'s blade lifted, profound death energy gathered with Link as the center.
Presently, his bearing changed again; he was like a god walking in the Styx!
A massive figure appeared behind Link. It was an existence draped in black robes with a silver scythe in hand. His appearance caused even the air to tremble.
Inexhaustible aura of death spread as if 'He' was Death itself!
One that could kill a god must be another god...
Link had been blessed by the strength of three gods, allowing his body that wasn't big or tall to appear magnificent like mountains.
One couldn't look at him directly.
Even the shadow that fell from midair stagnated because of it.

Chapter 202: Repulse the God of Evil Alone! Envoy!
A light 'eh' sounded. The seas around the Holy City soon surged, setting off huge waves and windstorms.
It seemed that the god of evil beings had developed some doubts toward Link. He should be an insignificant being, yet he is radiating multiple auras of a higher status than my own... Truly odd!
A strange sound—mingled with endless madness—sounded in Link's mind as if it were lifting a terrifying storm inside his head.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably would've been instantly corroded by the madness encased within that voice, turning completely evil and becoming a madman. Or they would've directly disintegrated into a pool of indescribable flesh and blood.
Communicating with the God of Evil was no good thing. However, Link possessed the [Fearless Pathfinder] title, and the [Fearless] skill allowed him to be immune to negative status effects such as falling into madness, despair, and more.
[Fearless] was instantly launched. A warm current flowed out from Link's body and protected his consciousness, such that Link would not collapse. Due to this, he could analyze the meaning of that voice through the madness.
"You are Th... Their envoy?" The God of Evil's words were slightly sluggish and contained some hints of surprise and confusion.
This was because, in 'His' cognition, even a chosen envoy shouldn't be carrying the auras of so many gods. After all, it was impossible for those auras' owners to be so generous to allow their own envoys to go and serve other gods.
However, 'He' was uncertain since it could also be due to some kind of interest. This made 'Him' more interested in Link's existence. Being the subject of many gods' attention—a very interesting nobody...
Link pondered for a while. What? Envoy? I am not! But since this God of Evil imagines so, I can be one too...
Although Link still had some unpleasant memories with some of the auras' owners, there was no need to expose that now. After all, Link still knew his own limitations.
His current capabilities were enough to defeat a Stage Six existence, but to go against a god?
He was still lacking.
The reform had yet to succeed, and his comrades still needed to grow.
"I want all these people to live." Link did not deny his identity as an envoy, nor did he hastily acknowledge it. He merely went with the flow and stated his request.
Doing this had left Link had left some leeway while also allowing this god to believe in 'His' preconceived idea that Link was the envoy.
After all, if Link wasn't the envoy, he had no right to negotiate terms at all given his current capabilities.
Link already had a rough deduction about this world after recovering his memories. This should've happened in a certain era—a historical event that had long taken place.
The reason why it reappeared was probably related to the historical ruin. It was highly likely a test or an extremely difficult dungeon.
Since he had such an understanding, Link naturally wished to raise his clearance evaluation as much as possible. Protecting these people would be equivalent to changing the original history and achieving something impossible.
By doing this, he should be able to get some expensive rewards.
The God of Evil—who had green skin, large amounts of cirri, and long narrow wings on his back—very quickly gave a response.
That voice containing madness sounded once again. "You want to protect these people? Mm... Sure."
He actually agreed! Link was delighted in his heart.
"Human, you are very interesting. Are you interested in becoming my envoy as well?" The voice sounded once again. This time, 'He' had actually extended an olive branch toward Link.
Link's gaze froze slightly; he was a little surprised and only came to a realization after some thought.
This God of Evil probably only took destruction as a form of interest or a convenient act. Just like how humans stepped on and killed an ant when walking, there wouldn't be any special emotions forming because of it.
But now, this God of Evil's interest had clearly shifted to Link.
'He' wasn't sure why there were so many gods' auras on Link, but 'He' found it interesting and wanted to get in on it too.
Link had nothing to hesitate about. In any case, it was just a test; he wouldn't lose anything.
As for truly believing in and serving this God of Evil—sorry, it was impossible.
Believing in 'Him' was impossible; Link would never believe in the God of Evil in this lifetime, nor would he serve 'Him.' Link could only pretend to be an envoy to maintain his life.
Upon hearing Link's response, that massive figure seemed to be rather pleased. He retracted the palm that was about to destroy the Holy City—Atlan—and presented Link with a gift.
A rune that carried unknown power appeared in the air. It then quickly condensed, turning into a circular object before falling in front of Link.
Link held it in his hand and studied it. The object seemed like an accessory; there was a mysterious rune drawn on it, and it still carried some of the God of Evil's aura.
He was unable to receive the system's notifications here and wasn't sure what it exactly was, but it was probably a pretty good item.
After presenting his gift, the God of Evil had no intention of remaining either. Very soon, the shadow hanging above the entire Holy City vanished.
The suppression that almost caused people to collapse had completely disappeared as well.
And that dense group of evil beings—which thirsted to devour everyone in the Holy City—retreated successively like the ebbing tide.
They quickly disappeared from sight, but the effects they brought hadn't completely subsided. For example, the warriors and civilians were currently staring at Link with faces full of shock. Eyes as wide as brass bells, they were speechless.
The air seemed to freeze, and the people's gazes were like spotlights, directed toward Link in unison. Those gazes were filled with incredulity and disbelief.
Is this a joke? The God of Evil actually left with all the evil beings? How can this be?!
They were unaware of the contents of Link's under-the-table deal with the God of Evil.
They only saw that Link seemed to communicate with the God of Evil for a bit; then, the God of Evil had retreated with the subordinates under 'His' command.
This was somewhat akin to repulsing the God of Evil alone; how could everyone not feel shocked?
Even the great sage and the high priest's gazes—which were directed at Link right now—were filled with surprise and much marvel. They felt overwhelmed!
It was totally unimaginable that Link had managed to achieve this.
As for Lanzhi Sage—who was still sealed in the pillar of light—he was all the more extremely shocked. He dazedly stared at Link as if Link was the actual monster.
"Gone? He's gone just like that? Impossible! What exactly have you done?" Lanzhi Sage exclaimed.
The God of Evil's appearance had incurred a great commotion, but they had left after doing almost nothing. All of this was because of Link.
It was as if it was only for the sake of showing 'His' face before Link.
That was the God of Evil! A big boss! 'He' was repulsed by a rascal who hadn't even reached the Sage stage? God of Evil, do you not want your dignity? Lanzhi Sage shrieked in his heart. His head was buzzing, almost splitting open then and there.
One had to know this: the reason why he degenerated and sought refuge with the evil beings was that he knew of the God of Evil's existence on the evil beings' side. Hence, they were impossible to defeat.
If he had long known that the God of Evil was just coming as a mere formality today, how could he have defected to the evil beings' side?
Did he not know that his body would gradually fall into the abyss of madness by seeking refuge with the evil beings?
Lanzhi Sage's heart was full of bitterness and regret. His features—which were ugly to begin with—had contorted into a lump.

Chapter 203: Passed the test! Sovereignty of Ruins!
After being stunned and shocked for a while, everyone slowly returned to their senses.
Gulp!
There was the sound of someone swallowing saliva. Many people felt their throats tighten, and their Adam's apples twitched weakly.
Some people's eyes twitched. They didn't know what expression to make at this time...
"How did you do it?" Regus exclaimed in surprise. This usually steady and steadfast general couldn't contain the excitement within him. His mind was still a little confused.
Aisha looked at Link in disbelief as well. Her bright eyes widened, and small question marks seemed to pop up above her head.
Before Link could respond, a gentle wave of magical power swept over everyone.
Everyone couldn't help turning their heads to look. They saw the great sage walk toward them with a smile.
There were strange black lines on that kindly old face; they were the traces that were left after being polluted.
When the God of Evil descended, the great sage and the high priest tried their best to block the pollution for the majority of the people. As a result, they had been poisoned by the pollution.
"You did a good job. If you had existed in the past, things might be different..."
Everyone's attention was on him, but the great sage did not reassure them. Instead, he sighed deeply. Those majestic and wise eyes stared at Link, laden with emotions. In them were unspeakable sadness and regrets.
These surging emotions were soon suppressed by the old man, and his eyes became extremely bright. It seemed like the darkness before dawn had finally faded, replaced by optimism and hope that shone upon everything in the world!
"You are a variable. Perhaps there really is hope that we may be able to break apart the dark cloud that shrouds all civilizations and bring a touch of hope to your era..." The great sage spoke slowly, but at some point, the expressions and bodies of the people around him seem to have frozen like brittle old photographs.
The river of time seemed to have split into two at this time—one of which solidified, freezing the surrounding people in the past.
Only the time between the great sage and Link continued flowing. But soon, even the great sage froze, and he quickly faded away as a cloud of darkness rose.
Link wasn't surprised by this; he already knew that everything that had previously happened was just a remnant of the past.
Everything had finally come to an end.
The consciousness did not go far. Link could clearly feel his body, and he opened his eyes again.
What appeared in front of him was an Olympian-style palace. The purple crystals around the dome radiated light.
He was lying on a platform, and a somewhat illusory figure was quietly watching him in front of a huge screen not too far away.
That illusory figure looked exactly like the great sage.
However, Ou Chen, Luo Xingyao, and the others—who entered the ruins with him—were all still lying on the platform not far away.
They had yet to awaken.
Sensing Link's gaze, the illusory figure smiled and said, "Don't worry, your companions are not in danger. They are still immersed in the afterimage of the past. Those afterimages are just my reenactment of history with arcane magic. They are like travelers visiting a memory of the past, and no real harm will come to them."
Link looked up slightly and cast his gaze toward the illusory figure. "Great Sage—may I call you by that name? Did what I see earlier actually happen in the past, or was it another test?"
Link still didn't trust everything he saw; he was still wary.
The illusory figure froze a little. It seemed that he had been affected by Link calling him 'Great Sage.'
But the great sage's demeanor soon returned to normal, and he calmly said, "Visitor from an unknown era, you may call me that. Great Sage is a name from a distant time. You don't have to doubt; what appears before your eyes at this moment is the truth. You should've noticed that what you experienced was the end of our race. We have been exterminated long ago. There are only fragments left and can do you no harm. On the contrary, we hope that you can survive the doomsday. We long to see a ray of hope."
The illusory figure seemed extremely calm as he spoke of the extermination of his race; it was as if he were a bystander.
After some thought, the great sage spoke again. "I have to say that you are a very special existence. Even though the best of our clan's magic pulled you into that memory, it encountered a lot of obstacles. Your mental power and some of the items on you are very unusual. Even if I want to do you harm, I may not succeed."
Link's eyes flickered; he knew that what the great sage said was the truth. He had the [Fearless Pathfinder] title, as well as the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep]—which provided him extremely high mental resistance.
If the great sage had evil intentions and wanted to wipe out his spirit in the afterimage of the past, it wouldn't have been an easy task. Instead, it would alert him and allow him to break free from the afterimage.
Furthermore, Link had many pieces of powerful equipment. He had no lack of resources that he could use to deal with a dangerous situation.
Even if Link was killed, he could resurrect. In other words, he had a hidden health bar and still had lots of health.
Just as Link was thinking about it, the great sage spoke again. "Visitor from an unknown era, you have done the impossible. In the cycle of eras, you are the only one who has changed the old destiny of our race. According to the original plan, you will become this place's real master from now on and receive all the inheritances left by our people. We hope it will help you."
As the great sage finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Link's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations on clearing the Epochal Ruins of the Atlan era—[Remnant of the Past]. Mission Completion: Incredible. Mission Evaluation: SSS!"
"Ding! You will gain node sovereignty over the Epochal Ruins of the Atlan era and receive all the inheritances of the Atlan civilization."
"Ding! Due to your incredible mission completion and SSS-level evaluation, you will get an 800% EXP bonus!"
"Ding! You get 100 million EXP!"
"Ding! Your level has been raised to Stage Four, Level 10!"
"Attention, there's still a surplus of EXP. You have reached the threshold of Stage Five; please complete the level up when you are ready."
"Since you are the first existence in the current era to obtain sovereignty over the ruins, the system will make a world announcement. Do you wish to remain anonymous?"
A series of system prompts sounded like a news blast.
It wasn't until this moment that Link truly let his guard down.
Even the system prompts had appeared. It would seem that this wave had been completely stabilized!
Next came the exciting harvest time!
As for the world announcement proclaiming him as the first to obtain the sovereignty of the ruins, Link hid some of his information and revealed only one of his professions.
The system announcement soon rang out all over the world, triggering a tsunami of reactions.

Chapter 204: Earthshaking! Groundbreaker!
A message flashed through the minds of all the [Doomsday Online] players.
[The first player to obtain sovereignty over the Epochal Ruins and uncover a small part of the mystery of the era on Blue Star is born! Special announcement! Groundbreaker: XXX, Occupation: Death Judge!]
Boom!
The announcement came in a sudden and roared like thunder in everyone's heads!
Countless people were dazed on the spot. Their minds were blank; they were shocked by the news!
The ruin sovereign was born!
At this moment in time, most players were still living in Doomsday's shadow. They were struggling to survive, and most of them hadn't even entered a dungeon, let alone a ruin!
This piece of news came as a huge shock to everyone. Just imagine it!
The whole world was shocked by this news, and there was great excitement!
The hearts of all surviving players thumped madly! They felt like there were countless active volcanoes with trembling hot magma within them that erupted instantly!
The sound of the explosion shook the world, and the red lava swept through the sky, bursting into the sky as if to burn the sky!
However, someone obtaining sovereignty over the ruins was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that this person—who was the first to obtain sovereignty over the ruins—was no stranger to them.
It was the Death Judge, who previously appeared in the world announcements twice!
After hearing this piece of news, countless players were dumbfounded. It took a while before they came back to their senses.
They couldn't help the thought that popped up in their minds: Damn! Why is it this bastard again?! How come it's him all the time?
This is the Death Judge's third time appearing in the world announcements... Ah! B*stard!
This Death Judge is really shocking. It is really messing with our minds!
Shouts and roars of jealousy rose from all over the world!
"Damn it! Someone has gained sovereignty over the ruins? I haven't even seen the ruins! It's unfair!"
"It's that damned Death Judge again. This is the third time, right? It's always him; I'm so mad!"
"Really? The Death Judge has actually obtained sovereignty over the ruins? This kid is the Goddess of Luck's lover, right? It's so unfair; why haven't I had any luck? Are the Death Judge and I in different worlds?!"
"Damn, the Death Judge is awesome! I proclaim you the most powerful!"
"Hey! Death Judge, you have the ability to conquer the ruins, but do you dare to report your name and address? I... I will throw myself at your feet immediately!"
This announcement shook the Blue Star and set off terrifying storms in everyone's hearts!
Unfallen City, in a spacious chamber.
Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, and Link's other confidants gathered together with Wu Hao, Tian Mingyuan, and the other teams from Bright Sun City.
The two parties were negotiating matters of alliance and cooperation, exchanging information they had, and trading various resources.
At this moment, the world announcement rang out!
Wu Hao—who had just taken a sip of tea—suddenly widened his eyes. With a sputter, he spat his tea into the mouth of Tian Mingyuan, who was next to him!
However, Tian Mingyuan wasn't angry. At this moment, he was completely stunned. He was completely shocked by the world announcement and did not react at all.
The rest of the Temple of Light members were even more stunned—everyone was flabbergasted!
Someone has gained sovereignty of the ruins?!
At this moment, Link appeared in both Tian Mingyuan's and Wu Hao's minds. The Death Judge mentioned in the world announcement should be Link!
After all, this was too much of a coincidence. Link had entered the ruins, and this world announcement appeared at just the right time.
In addition, Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan had speculated on the Death Judge's identity before.
The appearance of the world announcement at this time further proved their conjecture.
There is no mistake! The Death Judge must be Link. The kid kept it from us for a long time! For a time, Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan felt extremely conflicted. There was even some resentment in their eyes.
After hearing the world announcement, Yang Xuerou and the others on the other side of the conference table also spaced out for a while. As Link's confidants, they naturally knew who the Death Judge was.
There was a burst of excitement and joy in their hearts! Their City Master had gained sovereignty of the ruins just days after he entered it.
It was absolutely terrifying!
There was a strange light in the eyes of the two beauties, Yang Xuerou and Qiao Ruowei. They were amazed and excited by Link's achievements.
Joy flashed across Luo Xinghe's face. If there were no outsiders present, he would've jumped up excitedly and shouted out that the City Master was amazing.
After a while, everyone recovered from the shock the world announcement brought them.
"Cough cough." Tian Mingyuan coughed lightly. His whole body surged with magic power, removing all the tea and residue from his body.
Afterward, he looked at Yang Xuerou and said straightforwardly, "City Master Link should be the Death Judge, right? Congratulations to Unfallen City. You have gained sovereignty over a ruin; it's an amazing achievement."
"City Master Link has kept this from us for a long time!" echoed Wu Hao as well.
Yang Xuerou heard this, but she didn't give a definite answer. She just smiled.
She wasn't the amateur who didn't understand anything, so she naturally wouldn't be so easily confused.
"These are digressions; let's continue to talk about our cooperation." Yang Xuerou lightly brushed the topic off.
Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan didn't ask too much. They were experienced enough to know when to stop.
But it was certain that Link was the Death Judge and that he even owned the Epochal Ruins.
The value of Unfallen City and Link in their hearts both skyrocketed in an instant!
Tian Mingyuan and Wu Hao tacitly looked at each other. Unfallen City and Link are definitely allies we can't pass up. The Temple of Light must establish a good relationship with them.
Inside the Epochal Ruins, in the Olympian-style palace.
A bright light emerged from Link's body; it was the light from leveling up.
The improvement of his attributes made Link's aura stronger, and the power in his body surged like a tide.
He had reached Stage Four, Level 10, and was only a step away from Stage Five. He would then be able to control certain laws and build a domain that belonged to him alone.
The iconic feature of a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse was their domain!
Many people were stuck at this bottleneck. Even if they had the experience, they couldn't advance to Stage Five Star-rank.
And even if this kind of person relied on various methods to break through to Stage Five, a Star-rank powerhouse that had no domain was at the bottom amongst other Stage Five powerhouses. There was almost no further hope for them.
But this was naturally not a problem for Link, who had already lived once. With his understanding of the void, there was no bottleneck during the process of breaking through to Stage Five.
In addition, Link still had a surplus of experience. He would have the opportunity to continue leveling after advancing to Stage Five.
The most important thing was that Link could feel that he was already ready for the next Void Summoning!

Chapter 205: The Fourth Summon! King Arthur!
With anticipation, Link settled down and began to chant. "God from a faraway land, heed my command... Accept the imprint of the Void; come across the endless barrier of space and time. Be my spear; be my shield!"
The low chanting resounded in the hall like an overwhelming tide. Void energy swept around with Link as the center, stirring up radiant light like a magnificent throne.
Even the great sage couldn't help but reveal a slightly surprised expression. He could tell that Link's affinity and comprehension of the void were far beyond his current rank.
"What a surprising young man." The great sage sighed in his heart.
And as Link's chanting voice fell, a huge and complicated six-manifold star formation suddenly emerged on the ground beneath his feet!
A multi-colored radiance broke through the barrier between the ruin and reality and fell around Link.
Now shrouded in dense divine light, Link appeared even more awe-inspiring and outstanding with his sharply angled eyebrows, bright eyes, and clothes that were as white as snow. He appeared like a god looking down on the world—unattainable!
The Forest of Darkness—which had its peace restored—became a terrifying scene once again because of Link's summoning!
Boom!
The ground shook violently and then abruptly cracked open. The cracks spread like a dense spiderweb, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying pressure!
Rays of light fell from the sky, tearing through the dusky night!
The rays converged together, forming a deep void tunnel as if interconnected with the bright and distant starry sky!
At this moment, the entire mountain range where the Forest of Darkness was located—along with the neighboring wilderness—plunged into anxiousness and restlessness.
Dark creatures in the wilderness rioted as if in fear of something; they hissed nonstop.
Several human home cities in the surrounding area were also shaken.
Countless people's hearts throbbed as they raised their eyes and looked in the direction of the dark mountain range.
The sky there was shrouded in endless divine light, rippling like water waves as it revealed a different world.
Huge dragons hovered in the sky, war horses neighed, and the warriors' roars shook the sky!
Boom!
Among them, a figure proudly stood at the forefront of an army, enveloped by a golden holy glow. The aura of a king's dignity and imposing manner could be felt.
He swung his longsword down fiercely, and a huge sword glow suddenly appeared. It was as if heaven and earth were torn!
"This... What is this? A view of another world? Or is it an omen that another spatial rift will appear?"
Countless people were shocked by this magnificent and unusual image. Some were confused, and some could only exclaim in shock and speculate.
Yang Xuerou and the others in Unfallen City also walked out from the chamber and gazed in the Forest of Darkness's direction.
Wu Hao, Tian Mingyuan, Yang Xuerou, and the others all narrowed their eyes slightly. As the best of the [Doomsday Online] players, they were more perceptive.
They vaguely felt something stir within them. It was as if a certain powerful existence had descended into this world!
"It happened at the dark mountain range. Does it have anything to do with Link?" Tian Mingyuan muttered, amazed.
At the same time, an incandescent light door appeared in front of Link.
Amidst the golden glow, a king's strong and intimidating pressure diffused. The magnificent hall trembled a little.
The great sage waved his hands at once, and arcane energy was produced to bless Ou Chen and the others—who were still immersed in the test. Otherwise, they might be awakened by the great commotion.
Although Link had taken the greatest benefits of the ruin, they would still gain some EXP as consolation after going through the test.
The pressure attacked them like the tide.
Link's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he leaned back and sat on the throne, where the void energy was gathered.
If the one who was about to walk out of the light door was a king, then at this moment, Link was like a god sitting high up.
Link looked at the light door quietly, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly. It seems like I've summoned another powerful guy—a king's might?
Soon, a figure walked out from the light door. The great sage and Link's expressions froze.
They saw that the person who walked out wasn't the stout and imposing king they had imagined, but a young girl clad in armor with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The young girl was beautiful. What was rare was that she possessed a valiant and heroic bearing not found in delicate young girls. It was just that the silly tuft of hair on top of her head dampened the atmosphere slightly.
"Er..." The great sage went silent. The young girl who appeared in front of him was a little out of his expectations.
Is she a silly-haired king? Link was slightly surprised as well, but he soon recovered his senses. This was because a message flashed through his mind the moment the young girl appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations on summoning King Arthur (Super God)!]
[King Arthur · Artoria]

After seeing the silly-haired king's attributes, Link couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. Artoria is a powerful one! Not only does she have powerful damage skills, but her spell resistance is also outrageously strong!
The grown-up Artoria would definitely be the nemesis and nightmare of Mages!
The great sage—who was an Arcane Mage—instinctively felt a sense of oppression. This young girl, who was summoned by Link, is extraordinary!
The great sage couldn't help but look at Link. This young man has really exceeded my imagination!
After a brief silence, Artoria performed a knight's salute toward Link and said solemnly, "I will be your sword!"

Chapter 206: Domain Integration!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Link smiled and nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, soft void energy lifted Artoria up.
As Link stood up, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. After the summoning ceremony is over, it is time for me to advance to Stage Five.
Previously, Link didn't deliberately aim to level up as fast as possible. Instead, he was trying his best to understand his own powers as much as possible. Otherwise, with his ability, he could accumulate a lot of EXP by entering the City of the Undead dungeons several times.
And now, he had enough understanding of his own powers.
With a thought of his mind, the void energy surging around Link's body became more and more active, surging like a tide.
Amidst the violent surges of void energy, a bright light was flashing from Link's body, and a half-open void portal faintly appeared behind him.
Through the gap in the half-open portal, a dazzling scene of the galaxy seemed to appear...
Misty starlight flowed out from the portal, and the current Link seemed to have become the supreme ruler of the stars.
The great sage looked at Link with a flash of wonder in his eyes.
Link instantly started to advance to Stage Five when he had only just reached the peak of Stage Four. This wasn't something ordinary people could do.
This showed that Link's understanding of the Void nomological power had reached an extremely profound level as there was no bottleneck at all.
Not only did an energy tide appear inside the Epochal Ruins as a result of the phenomenon resulting from Link's advancement, but in the Forest of Darkness as well.
Streams of starlight fell down as if they were turning into a void channel that connected earth and heaven!
The sky—which had returned to being dim and dull—instantly became clear, while the stars seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force and bloomed with a strange brilliance!
Countless people were once again attracted by this scene.
The powerhouses in the surrounding human cities had just calmed down from the previous phenomenon and had no choice but to cast surprised glances at the Forest of Darkness again.
The apocalyptic Evolvers were all deeply stunned, and even their eyes were twitched. They were completely speechless.
"What the heck—again? Give me a break! What strange thing is happening in the Forest of Darkness today?"
In Unfallen City, Yang Xuerou, Wu Hao, and the others were also surprised.
The successively appearing phenomena signified that tonight was destined to be a non-peaceful night.
It was possible that many people would rush to the Forest of Darkness overnight to check the situation.
Those who had inside news—such as Yang Xuerou and Wu Hao—were somewhat unable to remain calm as well. Both parties had no thoughts of discussing matters at this moment, and they all stared at the vast phenomenon that covered their sights.
The stars were shining, the void energy was overflowing, and even cobweb-like cracks appeared in the sky, but this wasn't all.
In his previous life, Link mastered some of the Void nomological powers and used this as his foundation to enter the Star-rank. Although his resulting combat power was also quite impressive at that time, since he had a chance to do this a second time, he naturally wouldn't be satisfied with just how he was in his previous life.
Inside the ruin, vigorous sword intent suddenly rose from Link's body and shot straight into the sky!
Sword energy appeared, circled, and danced in the air around Link.
His white robe fluttered and swayed, and his bearing was extraordinary. He seemed like an ancient sword celestial who crossed over the long river of time and came to this world!
A flash of surprise flashed in the great sage's eyes. Good god. Not only does this kid have a deep understanding of the Void nomological power, but he has also attained a high level of swordsmanship! He's planning to integrate the Void nomological power and the Sword nomological power!
A domain constructed from integrating two nomological powers will naturally be stronger than most of the domains consisting of a single nomological power! In fact, this is the reason why Star-rank powerhouses' combat power can differ greatly.
The strength, depth, and the number of nomological powers each person has comprehended are all different. For ordinary people, just understanding and comprehending one nomological power is already not an easy task, but this kid actually possesses two nomological powers! If this news spreads out, I wonder how many people will cry to death!
The biting sword energy overflowed, and a torrent of sword energy seemed to appear around Link.
Deep ravines also appeared on the platform he was on.
The immense sword energy even spilled out and was going to spread to the entire hall.
The corner of the great sage's eyes twitched, and a virtual staff appeared in his hand. Upon waving the staff, countless streams of arcane brilliance were released from it and formed a field barrier, isolating Link within it. The phenomenon resulting from this kid's advancement isn't small. I mustn't let him destroy the Epochal Ruins.
In the outside world, countless people's attention was attracted by this sword intent.
The tip of a huge sword appeared in the sky, and a strong sense of sharpness emanated from this sword as if it were the embodiment of the Sword path itself!
It was covered with mysterious runes, and majestic pressure was emanating from it, causing the dark creatures around it to prostrate themselves on the ground.
Countless powerhouses—whose attention was drawn to this place—felt even more amazed!
However, the phenomenon did not end there. After the biting sword energy, another stream of death energy came, which converged toward Link.
Link possessed the God of Death's inheritance, and he had also comprehended part of the Death nomological power. At this moment, the platform under his feet was covered by the dense death energy, which then turned into a black river! It looked as if this was the Styx river, where souls were entrapped!
Behind Link, a figure wearing a black robe and holding a silver sickle faintly appeared!
In the outside world, death energy appeared as well. A Styx river hung high in the sky, completely shocking the world!
The power of death! This is another nomological power. The great sage's pupils shrunk slightly; the young man in front of him made it difficult for him to remain calm! What kind of terrifying domain is this young man going to construct? It isn't possible that he will already be invincible at this stage once he enters Star-rank, right?
But even when surrounded by these various phenomena, Link was still not satisfied. Illusory spider silk emerged from behind him and spread out as if wanting to pull people into endless dreams.
There were also tentacles exuding chaos and profanity emerging from the shadows under Link's feet and dancing about, causing the scalps of those who saw this to go numb!
The power of dreams! The aura of chaos and madness! What the heck! At this moment, even with the great sage's bearing, vulgarities almost burst out from his mouth! So many different nomological powers appeared at the same time and are being integrated into a single domain!
This was something even the great sage had never heard of before, and he was deeply shocked!
The appearance of these nomological powers even caused the field barrier that the great sage laid for Link to tremble faintly as if it would be broken at any time!
The corner of the great sage's eyes twitched, his expression constantly changing. It should be known that I'm a Sage-stage powerhouse. The defensive field barrier I laid down is extremely sturdy, but now, it is actually being shaken by a young man who hasn't even reached Stage Five yet?
It was unbelievable! Although the current great sage was just a remnant soul preserved through arcane means, and his power was greatly reduced, it still wasn't a power that Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses could compare with.
This kid is definitely a monster! The great sage secretly expressed this in his heart, but he still pretended to look very calm on the surface.
He definitely couldn't look surprised. He was a Sage after all; he still needed to consider his image. However, his hands were constantly moving, continuously strengthening the field barrier that enveloped Link.
At this moment, not only was the great sage shocked, but the [Doomsday Online] players who witnessed the endless phenomena in the outside world were also deeply shocked as well!
Countless people were talking about it, and several human home cities were in an uproar!
However, Link was immersed in the advancement process and wasn't aware of the situation outside. He didn't yet know that the outside world was in upheaval because of the phenomena resulting from his advancement!

Chapter 207: Breaking Out of the Cocoon! Will of the Planet!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Multiple nomological powers converged in the ruin, and light of all types of colors shrouded Link's slender body like a huge light cocoon.
Within the light cocoon, Link's body became increasingly stronger under the various nomological powers' influence.
His internal organs, skin, and even hair were covered with a layer of radiance, looking like a beautiful piece of jade free of dirt and dust.
The eyes of the great sage—who was by the side—couldn't help but flash with a touch of surprise. He could feel that a profound aura was being birthed within the light cocoon and that it was getting stronger and stronger.
Normally, an ordinary person's advancement to Stage Five Star-rank wouldn't have such an effect and change.
This was all because Link had comprehended too many types of nomological powers and to a high degree at that, which caused this qualitative change!
"This kid is really a monster! After this advancement, he may have hopes of completing that step ahead of time!" The great sage sighed in his heart, his expression becoming complicated.
Hope and desolation appeared in this old man's eyes at the same time.
He looked forward to Link accomplishing that matter, but as a remnant of a shattered era—a lonely soul of the old days—he knew very well how difficult it was to achieve that step...
It was almost impossible to complete! Otherwise, the civilization of their era wouldn't have been destroyed.
The great sage was even reluctant to mention it, fearing that this hope would turn into despair in the end.
After a moment of silence, there was an explosion in the void!
Boom!
Cracks appeared in the cocoon covering Link and spread quickly.
An aura that was more majestic and vaster than before diffused in the space.
Link's eyes suddenly opened, and stars were seemingly being born and dying within them. As this happened, shadows of various nomological powers flashed by in those deep eyes.
The power of his domain that uniquely belonged to him swept outward from all around Link like a tide!
Within his domain was a mixture of death, eternal sleep, sword aura, void, and many other auras—this domain's power was far beyond that of general domains!
Kra kra kra!
The protective barrier cast by the great sage could no longer persist and was broken in an instant!
As Link woke up, a mysterious aura also seemed to be aroused from somewhere.
Momentarily, an inexplicable feeling was faintly felt in everyone's hearts all over the world. It seemed to be a soft call with unrecognizable meaning, resounding in the hearts of all living creatures.
The great sage's eyes went straight the moment the soft call sounded, and he froze in place!
At the same time, the turbulent power of Link's domain had completely covered the platform where he was located, and it was constantly eroding outward.
It was about to impact Ou Chen and the others, who were at the side; its power was extremely overbearing.
The great sage suddenly returned to his senses and said quickly, "Don't wake them up."
Before the words fell, the surging domain's power had already begun to retract and was fully absorbed into Link's body. His eyes had also returned to their usual calmness and indifference.
Although Link's power had skyrocketed after this time's advancement, he still had great control over his own strength and wouldn't cause accidental injuries.
And following his advancement to Stage Five, the remaining EXP also took effect.
Light illuminated Link's body due to the level up.
[Ding! You have leveled up to Stage Five, Level 2!]
Slowly exhaling and feeling the surging power in his body, Link was in quite a good mood. Since his profession was of Taboo grade, he required a huge amount of EXP for every level up. Correspondingly, the attribute increase brought to Link from leveling up was also quite considerable.
Now, Link was confident of fighting against Stage Seven powerhouses, let alone Stage Six powerhouses!
"What's the matter just now?" After quickly clearing up his mood, Link looked at the great sage and asked about the inexplicable calling that just appeared.
Upon hearing this, the great sage seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Link in amazement. His chin opened slights, and his emotions were obviously slightly out of control as he muttered incoherently. "It's true... It can't be wrong... It really feels like that..."
After a long while, the lonely old soul regained his sanity, but his words were still full of excitement and tremors. "Link, what your advancement just stimulated was the... Will of the Planet! If it can be awakened in advance, it may be possible to end this apocalyptic reincarnation ahead of time!"
Link's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt even more confused. "The Will of the Planet?"
"Yes." The great sage's eyes were particularly bright as he said, "You can understand it as a powerful god or the congregation of a god's consciousness. The Blue Star we are in is actually not special in the vast universe. It can even be considered as small as dust when compared to the universe."
"The reason why it will encounter an apocalyptic catastrophe every time a civilization develops to a certain stage—which results in destruction—is due to our special position. This planet is the intersection of all worlds, the place where the fantasy realm and the physical world are connected. Whenever the other worlds want to do something, they will definitely come here—which results in the apocalypse and the invasion of all other worlds!"
Link pondered for a while and said, "What you mean is that our planet is a place where all the other worlds compete for."
"Yes, the various other worlds—and even many gods—will want to gain control of this springboard. Hence, causing the series of turmoils. Countless years ago, our planet was extremely glorious. It was the center of all worlds and realms. Many gods existed here, and our planet was one of the most powerful planets. Then, there was a battle of gods. The gods from Blue Star fought with the other worlds' gods, and countless gods died in the long river of time.
"The Will of the Planet on Blue Star has also fallen into a deep sleep and can only passively exert some protective mechanisms. However, our heritage still exists. The other worlds have destroyed our civilizations time and time again to wipe out our heritage and let the will of this planet—which we live in—be completely annihilated."
Link instantly understood. No wonder the gods' thrones that appeared were all empty in the grand scene in the City of the Undead's dungeon. No wonder there are various heritages and relics around the world. Some of which are left by gods of the past, while some might be left by gods from other worlds.
[Doomsday Online] was a manifestation of the Will of the Planet's protective mechanisms, providing everyone with a method to grow quickly and resist the various crises.
"So, to change all of this, we must first awaken the Will of the Planet before ending the apocalypse," Link said solemnly.
The great sage nodded. "Yes, I was hesitant to tell you this just now, but you evoked the resonance of the planet's will when you advanced to Stage five. Hence, you might have a chance of resolving our regrets from back then. However, this process isn't easy. First, you need to prepare a lot of divine-type objects in order to build a bridge of communication."
Divine-type materials? Link said in his heart: If you want to talk about this, I'll be very spirited.
He had many items with such attributes in his hands, such as [Mask of the Faceless, [Talisman of Eternal Sleep, and [Holy Spirit Necklace]...
Thus, Link didn't hesitate to take out these various items from his personal backpack.
As the divine-type items were taken out one by one, even the heart of an experienced man like the great sage couldn't help but shake.
His eyes also widened. "Why do you have so many divine-type items?!"

Chapter 208: Death of a Sage! The Man Who Ended the Apocalypse!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Not a lot, not a lot. This is just barely enough." The great sage quickly kept the surprise on his face, forced a smile, and tried his best to maintain his last dignity.
What he didn't know was that for Link—who possessed the [Supreme Blessing] skill—collecting divine-type items was countless times easier than for others.
A high-grade item—which didn't possess divine nature—would have a high chance of becoming a divine-type item after being blessed.
If someone else was here, even if that person was Ou Chen—the Temple of Light's Holy Son—and was able to use all the resources of the temple, he could only take out the [Sacred Book of Light] that was of divine nature.
Compared to Link, it was a bit miserable.
"Awakening the planet's will is very important. If more divine-type items would be better, I should be able to prepare some more," Link said and looked toward Luo Haoyue and the others.
After Luo Haoyue's transformation, her bloodline was that of the God of Evil's descendants; she also possessed divine nature on her.
As for the major human factions, such as the Temple of Light, they should also possess some divine-type items.
If necessary, Link didn't mind collecting all these items from them. Of course, the process would inevitably be quite violent.
"No need; these should be enough. This is just to build a bridge; the key is to see if you fit the criteria," said the great sage in a deep voice. Holding the items given by Link, he started to build the bridge of communication.
Although he used the word 'bridge,' it was actually an extremely ancient spell formation. The divine-type items were only the main materials; a lot of auxiliary materials were needed too.
Being Unfallen City's City Master and having control of an entire city's resources, Link didn't lack the auxiliary materials either.
Without procrastinating, Link immediately left the ruins and contacted Yang Xuerou and the others to ask them to prepare the corresponding materials.
When Yang Xuerou and the others learned of Link's plan, they were all very excited and delighted.
This was a real way to solve the apocalypse—the revival of the planet's will would protect the human race from being invaded by other worlds!
Wu Hao and others from the Temple of Light were equally excited and expressed that the Temple of Light would also fully support Link's plan.
A large number of materials were transported to the dark mountain range, and an extremely old and large spell formation was constantly being completed.
And with the continuous completion of the large spell formation, the Blue Star's will—which was originally dormant—had become active.
The Undead monsters all over the world faintly felt a sense of crisis.
The Abyssal Realm.
In a huge hall of bones, three terrifying auras suddenly descended, making the atmosphere extremely solemn!
A group of abyssal monsters and high-ranking Undead all crawled on the floor and trembled, lacking any courage to raise their heads.
Above the hall, on three supreme thrones, the three kings of the abyss sat high.
The Blood Lord, Witch Lord, and Demon Lord were all the supreme kings in charge of the Abyssal Realm, and their levels had reached Stage Nine Sage—they were extremely powerful!
At this moment, the three kings were silent. Their deep gazes seemed to have crossed the barriers of endless space and were staring at Blue Star.
After a long time, a dry voice sounded. "Something unexpected happened; those ants seemed to have discovered something. They actually plan to wake up the planet's will, causing Blue Star's nomological powers to become turbulent!"
Witch Lord was enveloped in a dilapidated gray robe, and his tone was cold.
The Blood Lord's huge body—which seemed to be made from a sea of ??blood—vibrated slightly, and the sound of the blood sea tumbling converged into murderous and awe-inspiring words. "We mustn't let that happen. They must be wiped out as soon as possible!"
The Demon Lord nodded slightly and said, "The gods of the Abyssal Realm are still asleep. If Blue Star's will recover at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will our invasion efforts fall short, but it will also cause our own gods to be suppressed and possibly even completely annihilated."
"However, this is also an opportunity. Now that the nomological powers are turbulent, we can take this opportunity to expand the space cracks to let a supreme king forcibly pass through and completely wipe out those ants!"
The surging sound of the ??blood sea sounded again, only to hear the Blood Lord coldly say, "I shall go personally and slaughter the entire Blue Star!"
The other two kings had no objections after hearing this, and both nodded.
Blue Star, dark mountain range.
Many powerhouses and common people had gathered here.
In the mountains' hinterland, a huge spell formation had been completed.
An illusory portal appeared in the air, exuding an incomparably deep and vast aura, while the inside contained a psychedelic brilliance that even a Sage couldn't see through!
"City Master, this trip is very dangerous, and you will get lost inside if you aren't careful. Unfallen City cannot do without you; I am willing to go in first and find a path for you!"
Just as Link was about to step into the portal, Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, and his other confidants shouted in low voices with a flash of worry on their faces.
Although this was the only chance to solve the apocalypse, they didn't want to see their City Master risk himself.
Link just smiled faintly, his eyes still firm. "I have already made up my mind. Just do what you guys should do. The Abyssal Realm will surely counterattack in the near future."
Yang Xuerou and the others knew that they couldn't change Link's decision, so they could only nod their heads.
Link's gaze swept over everyone with eyes that were as calm and indifferent as always. His white robe swayed in the wind, and he carried a majestic attitude. This image was deeply engraved in everyone's minds!
"Everyone, goodbye for now." Before the words fell, Link stepped into the portal.
With the disappearance of Link, Blue Star's nomological powers became more and more turbulent, which also gave the Abyssal Realm's powerhouses a chance to descend forcefully.
Three days later, a space crack—tens of millions of miles long—suddenly appeared in the sky. It was like the huge mouth of an abyss wanting to swallow the entire planet, and countless people were terrified by it!
In the huge rift, gurgling blood poured down continuously. As the blood sea spread, a terrifying will enveloped the entire Blue Star!
The Sage-stage existence's aura swept through the world, and the low-rank apocalyptic Evolvers could only tremble. Even the Stage Five powerhouses also felt like they were suffocating under such terrifying pressure.
All those below the Sage-stage were just ants!
Nightmares turned into reality at this moment!
In the ever-spreading sea of ??blood, a huge body emerged—it was the Blood Lord!
His eyes scanned the entire Blue Star, and he finally fixed his eyes on the dark mountain range. Icy words then vibrated across the air. "Link, I know that it is you who is going to awaken the planet's will. If you don't return quickly, I shall slaughter the entire human race!"
The human powerhouses' hearts sank, and their expressions changed wildly. This terrifying abyssal Sage wanted to use the entire human race to threaten Link!
If Link didn't give up the plan, the entire human race would be destroyed!
Once Link gave up on awakening the planet's will, he wouldn't be able to resist the Blood Lord even if he returned!
Stage Nine Sage—this was a terrifying existence powerful enough to kill everyone!
But at this moment, a vast aura suddenly arose from the planet's depths.
A huge figure appeared between the sky and the earth—it was Link, who had been magnified countless times by the nomological powers!
He had awakened the planet's will... or rather, he had replaced the planet's will!
At this moment, Link's aura reached the level of a god. What's more, his aura was vaster and more majestic than the general gods of Order!
Even though Blood Lord was a Stage Nine Sage, there was only fear left in his heart at this moment. Facing Link, he was the ant now...
"Impossible! The planet's will is the aggregation of the wills of many gods! Becoming one with the planet's will should cause you to break down instantly!" The Blood Lord roared in disbelief.
However, Link only had cold words in response to him. "Too noisy!"
When these words were spoken, the nomological powers followed. The power of the vast nomological powers shrouded the Blood Lord as the words fell, causing the tyrannical Blood Lord's body to be instantly shattered and completely annihilated!
The Blood Lord wasn't able to resist at all!
In an instant, a Sage died!
Afterward, Link looked at the huge crack in the sky with an indifferent expression.
The Blood Lord was right. The moment he merged with the planet's will, his physical body had broken down, but his spirit merged with the planet's will and reached the realm of the gods.
As long as Link wished to, he could recreate his human body at any time or even create all kinds of other things.
At this moment, he was the master of all nomological powers!
With a wave of his hands, the huge abyss mouth in the sky disappeared, and all the other space rifts were annihilated as well!
Even the connection between the Abyssal Realm and Blue Star was cut off too!
With Link in control of the nomological powers, the other worlds and realms would no longer be able to invade Blue Star actively. Even the gods asleep in the other worlds and realms would also be countered!
In a short moment, the situation changed drastically.
A nightmare-like horror was easily destroyed!
Countless people stared at the huge figure in the sky blankly, unable to register what had just happened yet!
Appearing at the top of the planet, the huge figure—which had condensed from the nomological powers' rays of light—and the fallen Sage from the Abyssal Realm constantly impacted their hearts.
The entire world was quiet.
The long river of time seemed to have gone stagnant, and dozens of seconds passed before everyone that was immersed in the crisis of death finally came around. Then, everyone on Blue Star instantly erupted!
It was like hundreds of thousands of active volcanoes had erupted in an instant. The sound of the explosions shook the world, and the red lava that swept into the world burst into flames of light that burned the sky!
Cheers and laughter joined together; excited and ecstatic people shouted indulgently, venting the uneasiness and panic that had been accumulating in their hearts.
The people—who were almost suffocated under the Sage-stage Blood Lord's pressure—all showed smiles of surviving through a calamity.
The Doomsday haze that had been hanging over everyone's heads finally dissipated completely.
The eyes of Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, and the others were shining, and they were full of respect and reverence for Link.
"That's the City Master; he did it! He really awakened the planet's will!"
"From now on, nobody will die to the waves of monsters anymore!"
"City Master, awesome!"
The people from Unfallen City shouted with excitement, their faces filled with extreme fanaticism.
When the Doomsday crisis descended, it was Link who overcame all obstacles and led them in establishing a human home city—a city named Unfallen.
The name signified the homeland of mankind that would never fall, giving them faith and hope!
And now, when the Abyssal Sage descended, this man once again stood up. With the posture of a god, he protected the people on Blue Star and killed the Sage with a single sentence!
This day was destined to be remembered by everyone!
In the Forest of Darkness, the great sage looked at Link's figure in the sky, a relieved smile showing on his face.
"He replaced the planet's will... Being a mortal, he was able to withstand the will of the gods? Perhaps only in this way can we end this Doomsday..."
In the sky, Link felt the excitement of the people, and a faint smile appeared on the face made of nomological powers.
Strands of nomological powers emerged one after another, and the people crushed into pieces by the Blood Lord's pressure began to resurrect one after another.
On the land filled with death due to the erosion of the turbulent blood sea, new green shoots emerged, injecting new life into the land.
Above the cities occupied by high-level Undead monsters and abyss monsters, nomological powers also emerged. But this time, they were extremely overbearing. They swept through everything, wiping them away from Blue Star's surface.
Whether it was destruction or life, they were both the graces of God!
High-level monsters that were a huge threat to humans had all been annihilated.
As for the less threatening monsters, Link ignored them. This was the opportunity he left for the people to sharpen and improve themselves.
After doing all this, Link's majestic voice sounded again. "I said: all the mysteries asleep in the old days shall return from the embers of time."
After the words fell, phantoms emerged from behind Link. These were the ancient Blue Star gods who had fallen during the battle of gods countless years ago.
All the ancient gods bowed their heads to Link in salute.
With their recovery and reappearance, Blue Star—which was already filled with the vast nomological powers—became even more unfathomable!
Divine brilliance rippled in the world, deterring the other worlds and realms.
"I said: this world shall never fall." Link's majestic speech resounded through the countless worlds!
Anping calendar, year 1638.
Blue Star.
This place had become the center of all worlds and was very prosperous. Technology and arcane brilliance shone together as countless cities floated in the sky.
In the square of a floating city, a young mother held the hand of a beautiful little boy who seemed to be carved from jade and was taking a leisurely walk.
The boy's eyes were attracted by the stalwart statues standing in the center of the square and whispered the names of these gods. "God of Light, God of War, God of Death..."
Suddenly, the little boy raised his head and looked at his mother. He was a little puzzled and asked, "Mom, don't these gods all possess unpredictable and mighty powers? Why are they all standing behind that statue? Is that god the most powerful?"
Upon hearing these words, the young mother looked at the unique-looking statue standing in front of all the other god statues, and a touch of reverence flashed across her face. "That is the Lord of the Gods. He created the era in which we live and is, of course, the most powerful and noble. But it is said that the Lord of the Gods was only a mortal named Link in the beginning."
The little boy was puzzled. "A mortal? Then, how did he become a god?"
"This is an old story..."
