Chapter 561: The Prologue of the Battle of Gods
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the army of the World of Light failed to conquer the territory as they had hoped, their confidence and joy began to fade, and fear gradually eroded their hearts.
Facing their impending defeat, they fell into despair. The feeling of being killed by their enemy when they were only one step away from victory was like being stabbed with thousands of blades.
They were puzzled. Why was the Ruler of Light unable to defeat the Darkness Demon Dragon?
What ability did the other party have to withstand so many of their attacks?
Many times, they had felt that the enemy’s strength was already on the verge of collapse. They only needed to put in more effort to destroy everything, but they were still unable to take that final step. Even if their scepters could pierce through the enemy’s body, they could not completely kill the enemy.
This sense of defeat filled Bader with rage and unwillingness.
As time passed, the pressure gradually caused Bader’s heart to collapse. His throat let out a beast-like roar, and blood began to seep out of the cracks on his body.
At this moment, the soul that he had just devoured was injected into Xu Yuan’s body from the gem scepter.
This action would cause him to be hit with a massive recoil, but he no longer cared!
Xu Yuan only felt terrifying roars and vicious curses exploding in his mind, as if they wanted to tear his soul apart. Blood spurted out of his mouth.
The pain in his soul was ten thousand times more intense than the pain in his physical body!
The energy that was tearing at his soul made it difficult for him to even stand up. His hand which was holding the ruby scepter almost let go. His consciousness gradually fell into darkness, and he felt the gaze of the god of death.
His rationality and thoughts were about to be obliterated, but at this moment, he still stared at Bader without taking a step back.
He gritted his teeth and bit his lips hard, even though he was terribly injured!
Was Bader worthy of letting him fall?
That was impossible!
He would never let Bader succeed!
The countdown on the attribute panel continued.
Bader had gone completely mad. He began to consume his soul to explode without caring about the consequences. He wanted to complete the final reversal and destroy the wish. The soul was the most fundamental power of life. Bader’s actions were destroying himself. Even if he survived in the end, he would never regain his power!
However, despite his sacrifice and outburst, he realized in despair that his enemy was still persisting.
Xu Yuan was like a lonely boat that would never capsize in a storm. No matter how big the storm was, Xu Yuan persisted. Time came to an end amidst Bader’s laments of unwillingness.
At the edge of his consciousness, Xu Yuan heard the familiar sound of a notification.
His right hand released the gemstone scepter and waved it weakly at the sky.
“Let the new era begin.” A low murmur echoed in the air, and then it was broken by the crisp sound of glass shattering.
This voice resounded through the clouds, echoing in the ears of every bit of intelligent life.
The world seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes, as if an invisible force was surging.
Xu Yuan felt a powerful force invade his body, and his soul seemed to be torn apart.
He turned around in a daze. Before his consciousness completely fell into darkness, he only saw a blurry crimson figure running toward him.
Then, he closed his eyes tightly and fell into endless darkness.
The moment Xu Yuan fell to the ground, Su Wan held him in her arms. Tears gushed out, and her face was filled with pain and regret. She looked at the lifeless figure in front of her and felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
Bader witnessed this scene. He stood still like a statue, his face expressionless.
Seeing that the light had disappeared without a trace and that the connection with the power that had been in control for countless years had been severed, his body suddenly lost its support, and he collapsed to the ground with a pale face.
This Chief Sovereign of Light, who had once swept through the world, was now in such a sorry state.
Looking at Su Wan’s pain and Xu Yuan’s cold body, Bader suddenly raised his head and let out a powerless roar.
He had never thought that he would lose to a seemingly weak player lord.
After Xu Yuan fell, the world did not change its rules as they had hoped.
The entire world was undergoing a huge change.
It was especially so for that forbidden land of life; it was even more radiant with new life.
Grass broke out of the barren ground, the trees grew tall and straight, the streams flowed leisurely, and the lake was sparkling.
Looking down from the sky, everything seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye.
This miraculous scene was breathtaking.
In the end, only green forests and grasslands were left in the desert. There was no longer any exposed yellow sand.
Not only the Desert of Death, but every corner of the world was undergoing subtle changes. The mountains turned into flat ground, and the flat ground rose into new mountains. The river changed its course several times from its source to the sea.
It was as if the rules of the planet were being rewoven.
Everything was developing in a good direction. From the swamps to the grasslands, the planet was glowing with vitality.
However, after Bader lost his light, the demon army suddenly felt that their restraints were broken. They were no longer under orders, and their minds became clearer than ever.
The abominations threw down their weapons and fled frantically. The abominations who were supposed to supervise them did not stop them and instead joined the escaping team. The fierce battlefield instantly returned to its usual calm.
The soldiers and players who were soaked in blood looked at the fleeing demon army and sat on the battlefield in exhaustion. They started crying and laughing in relief.
The war was over.
They survived.
They survived!
The players who were watching the livestream felt their hearts get stuck in their throats because they saw the livestream suddenly close at the last moment.
On the screen, Bader had been killed by Xu Yuan! This valiant young man who had supported the entire war had died at the last moment.
“The guardian cannot use the power above the gods, but when enemies attack, he will be given the power of the entire world. Only in this way can we ensure the survival of our world.”
A gentle voice sounded. At this moment, a new piece of information surged into the minds of all the players, revealing a hidden secret.
The system, this seemingly lifeless existence, was actually constructed by the will of the world and the God of Creation.
In the distant past, the God of Creation fell into an eternal slumber because he resisted the invasion of the Chaos Gods.
However, he had always been vigilant about the safety of the world, so he planned to take back his authority and gather his strength to deal with the threat that might come from the Chaos Void.
500,000 years ago, the God of Creation tried to take back his authority and start a new era. However, he did not expect that the other gods would be unwilling to hand over their authority and even obstruct the start of the new era, causing his plan to be thwarted.
Since he had lost his power, he could not force them to help. He could only wait for the right opportunity.
During those terrible years, he sensed the aura of the universe and discovered the existence of the Blue Star..
