Suspended above the Ninth Heaven, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.
At this mont, in his eyes, there was no longer any joy or sorrow; his left eye held the brilliance of a nascent galaxy, while his right eye bore the deathly stillness of a collapsing black hole.
He could not feel the boundaries of his body, as if he himself were the will of this universe.
If he wished, he could even reach out and pluck stars millions of light-years away.
He lowered his head, gazing down at the land of Cangling beneath his feet.
It had long since beco a purgatory on earth.
The Supre Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, with a body so massive it could fill the entire sky, was wantonly releasing its aura of destruction, each wisp of demonic qi capable of collapsing mountains and rivers.
"Hoo..."
Without moving physically, Lin Chen transcended the concept of space, appearing instantly before the colossal chasm of the Demon Realm, facing that overbearing Supre Demon Lord.
The two stared at each other.
On one side was the Demon Lord, engulfed in demonic flas, burdened with the entire dark Demon Realm on his back.
On the other side was Lin Chen, draped in an imperial robe of nine colors, with the Divine Creation Ring floating behind him.
"Hmm?"
The Demon Lord's blood-red demonic eyes, larger than the sun, suddenly contracted.
He felt threatened, a threat that even he, as an immortal being, found disquieting.
"An ant... actually broke through the Heavenly Dao's ultimate barrier?"
The Demon Lord let out a dinsion-trembling laugh, the sound waves transforming into a storm that shattered the void for miles around:
"Hahaha! Interesting! But it's aningless!"
"In the past, even when your human race's gods joined forces, they couldn't seal ."
"Today, you're alone, what can you possibly do to ?!"
"Demonic Dao: Myriad Worlds' Descent!"
The Demon Lord struck. His colossal hand, covered in black scales, thrust forward, evolving a massive black vortex in his palm.
This was not an ordinary suction but a conceptual devouring of light, sound, spiritual qi, even "hope" and "vitality," all rapidly depleted under this strike!
The entire world plunged into absolute darkness and silence.
"Who said I'm alone?"
In the darkness, Lin Chen's voice calmly resonated, yet it echoed clearly in every corner.
"Co forth, join ... to reopen this world."
Boom!!!!!!
The nine divine rings behind Lin Chen suddenly shattered, and with his summon, five ancient auras, enough to make the universe tremble, descended upon the world!
"Taichu: Chaos' Descent!"
Xiaobai stepped forth from the void.
It was no longer the size of five ters but filled the heavens and earth, its body swelling to imasurable heights!
Its entire form flowed with gray chaotic currents, where its four hooves trod, the devouring black vortex was forcibly stomped into pieces!
"Causality: Nine Worlds' Reincarnation!"
Xiao Hong appeared.
Its nine tails spread out in the air, each transforming into an independent small world, evolving into the bustling world within.
With just one glance at the Demon Lord, countless red lines of causality tightly bound the Demon Lord's spirit, forcibly dragging it into the Illusion Realm of Reincarnation!
"Destruction: Thunder Punishnt World Destruction!"
Xiao Hei roared.
Wielding an axe ford by billions of black thunderbolts, draped in a starry battle armor, it swung the axe down, smashing the space law into powder, revealing the void beyond the world!
"Space-Ti: Tai Xu's Return!"
Xiao Lan glided above the river of ti.
Its body existed between illusion and reality, with a flap of its wings, ti reversed, forcibly restoring the spaces eroded by demonic qi to their pristine state, completely sealing off the Demon Lord's retreat!
"Origin: Holy Fire Burns the Sky!"
Little Fire transford into a golden blazing sun, hanging above the Demon Lord's head, casting down countless purifying divine lights, burning the monstrous demonic qi with relentless sizzles!
In this instant, the five great Spirit Beasts all stepped into the realm of "Supre Immortal," representing the five foundational stones of creation:
Chaos, Causality, Destruction, Space-Ti, Origin!
"What... what is this power?! This is impossible!!!"
The Demon Lord finally panicked.
He found his demonic body disintegrating, his proud immortal law being rewritten.
"Nothing is impossible."
Lin Chen stood in the void, pointing to the sky, his voice cold as a god:
"Today, I shall slay you to offer sacrifice to the heavens."
"Return to your places, spirits—All Heavens: Divine Punishnt!"
With these words, the five Spirit Beasts simultaneously unleashed their most powerful origin power, the five beams of light converging in Lin Chen's hand, forming a rainbow heavenly sword that seed formless yet encompassed all things.
The Demon Lord sensed the terror of death, frantically burning his origin, attempting to blow up this world for mutual destruction:
"You wish to kill ?! Then let this world be my burial along with !!!"
Gazing at the frantic Demon Lord, Lin Chen finally swung his sword.
This strike carried no earth-shattering explosion sound.
For it severed not the flesh but the very "existence of the Demon Lord" itself.
Hiss—
An indescribable line of light cut through the world.
The Demon Lord's ferocious laughter froze on his face.
The next second, his colossal demon body, along with the massive Demon Realm chasm behind him, even along with the rampant demonic qi throughout the sky...
It was as if it were a pencil drawing erased by a rubber.
Crumbled to nothing from head to toe.
Turned to void.
In the face of this absolute power, immortality was but a joke.
...
The battle was over.
Silence of an absolute kind returned to the world.
Lin Chen retracted the Spirit Beasts, floating alone high in the air.
He lowered his head, looking at the earth below.
Though the Demon Lord was dead and the demon beast army dispersed, the land was already a ruin.
Countless cities had turned into rubble, corpses lay scattered, and rivers were dyed red with blood.
This battle, though the Human Race won, they were nearly driven to extinction.
A deep sense of desolation welled up in his heart.
Just then, the space in front of Lin Chen slightly twisted, and a phantom figure slowly erged.
The man was dressed in ancient attire, his deanor elegant, with eyes bearing the wisdom of seeing through worldly affairs.
He was none other than the First National Preceptor of the Cangling Ancient Country, the originator of ten thousand years of planning—
The First National Preceptor, Gu Wei.
"You did it."
Gu Wei looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with relief.
Lin Chen looked at him, said nothing, and simply nodded silently.
At the mont the two were locking eyes, a sphere of pure white light, gentle to the extre, appeared out of nowhere between them.
That sphere of light had no consciousness, only the purest laws and creativity.
Lin Chen was taken aback: "This is..."
"This is the new Heavenly Dao."
Gu Wei pointed at the sphere of light and said softly:
"The old Heavenly Dao shattered in the battle between gods and demons; this is the will of the world's rebirth."
"Lin Chen, now the choice is in your hands."
"You can destroy it and replace it."
"In that way, you would beco the only will of this world, the eternal ruler. You can make any law."
Lin Chen looked at the sphere of light, then at his own hands capable of controlling everything, and asked:
"What if I don't destroy it?"
"It will be grateful to you."
Gu Wei looked at Lin Chen with a smile on his lips:
"It will grant you a wish."
"A wish... enough to rewrite cause and effect, to reshape reality."
"This is sothing you cannot accomplish."
A wish?
Lin Chen was taken aback.
He turned his head towards the shattered mountains and rivers below, mories of Bai Ling's smiling face during the sacrifice, the back of the Tree Ancestor resolutely heading to die, and images of the Thunder Immortal Bear, Zhong Nan, Qin Shaoshao...
And those countless beings who died to protect their holand.
To beco the supre Heavenly Dao, looking down on eternity alone?
No, that is not what he desires.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, his eyes turning incomparably gentle.
"I don't need to beco a ruler."
He reached out his hand, gently touching the sphere of light, and said softly:
"I wish for... a peaceful world."
"I hope, that those who fell in the night for the sake of dawn... can return."
"As you wish..."
As if an ethereal response echoed in the Void.
Boom—!!!
At the mont the words fell, that sphere of light suddenly burst forth with billions of holy rays, instantly enveloping the entire Cangling world.
Ti seed to flow backward at that mont.
Gu Wei and Lin Chen stood side by side above the river of history, quietly watching all that unfolded below.
Lin Chen saw the broken earth healing again, the desolate rivers roaring once more, and the collapsed cities rising from the ground.
What moved him to tears the most was seeing those familiar figures being remolded in the light.
On the Fallen God Peak, the withered Tree Ancestor found vitality again, turning back into the gentle man in a cyan shirt.
The Thunder Immortal Bear yawned, climbing up from the ruins, grumbling about a good sleep.
In the Spirit Academy, Qin Shaoshao sat at a desk, plucking leaves.
Zhong Nan sat in a rocking chair, leisurely sipping tea.
And at the spot where the seven-colored altar had disappeared, a girl in a white dress opened her eyes in confusion, beside her, a small Calamity-Devouring Beast affectionately nuzzled her cheek.
Lin Chen watched this scene, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
At this mont, Gu Wei suddenly spoke, his voice sowhat ethereal:
"Lin Chen, since the world has restarted, do you know... what the next era will be?"
"The next era?"
Lin Chen was taken aback.
With the Demon Race gone, the Divine Race extinguished, isn't it supposed to be a golden era of beast taming and cultivation for the Human Race?
"Look."
Gu Wei waved his hand, and the scene before them started to accelerate frantically.
Lin Chen saw the changes over the years.
As spiritual qi gradually depleted, Beastmasters and cultivators slowly beca legends.
Humanity began to seek new power.
He saw flas being harnessed, heard the roar of steam engines, and witnessed the first gunshot.
"This is..."
Lin Chen's eyes widened.
The scenes continued to speed by.
Skyscrapers rose from the ground, airplanes streaked across the sky, rockets roared out of the atmosphere, and the internet connected every corner of the world...
"Technology?"
Lin Chen murmured.
Finally, Gu Wei pulled the perspective higher, into the endless cosmic starry sky.
When Lin Chen saw that slowly rotating, azure planet as beautiful as a sapphire, his breath completely ceased.
It now had a new na:
Earth.
And the Beast Taming Era had beco a legend...
Later generations said it was an era destroyed by a falling star.
This era had super monsters.
"I see."
Lin Chen turned back, finding Gu Ning had already disappeared.
Lin Chen smiled too, then flew downward.
He knew he would beco in this world...
The last deity!
