As ti went on, the signs of the apocalypse beca increasingly evident. All major cities in the real world had fallen into a state of collapse, with everyone searching for places to hide. Irving's plan was nearing its conclusion.
With Irving's help, Benjamin and Jas had finally brought all their subordinates to Hope Ark. After confirming that all their companions had arrived at Hope Ark, Irving intended to head there directly himself.
At this mont, Irving could sense that the apocalypse was imminent.However, just as Irving was about to head to Hope Ark in the Shelter Ga world, he suddenly heard a sigh near his ear. Irving quickly heightened his alertness.
Under normal circumstances, he would not hear any unusual sounds. Whenever he heard abnormal noises, it ant that he had been attacked ntally by an enemy or that he was experiencing ntal erosion from the surrounding energy.Irving cautiously observed his surroundings for a while.
He did not notice anything out of the ordinary. "Could it be that I am experiencing auditory hallucinations? That's absolutely impossible! Since becoming a player in the Shelter Ga world and gaining the power of the Taikoo Fla Pearl, I should not be experiencing hallucinations."
Irving dismissed his own speculation.Still unable to find a perfect explanation, Irving hesitated for a mont before ultimately deciding to ignore the sigh he had just heard.
He resolved to swiftly proceed to the Shelter Ga world. Just before entering the Shelter Ga world, Irving took one last look at the city before him.The city had beco incredibly desolate, giving off an overall feeling reminiscent of the city he had seen in the Abyss.
Irving couldn't help but let out a sigh. However, this very sigh startled him. He suddenly realized that the sigh he had just made was the sa one he had heard earlier.
"What is going on? Is it possible that my sigh can travel back in ti?" Irving was perplexed and, amid his confusion, quite surprised.
He did not understand why this was happening, and he was deeply concerned that if he went directly to Hope Ark, this abnormal situation might follow him there.Just as Irving was feeling flustered and at a loss, the dark clouds in the sky transford completely into pure darkness. The entire sky of the real world was shrouded in this pure dark power, and all living beings that had not yet hidden away were transford into dark monsters. The apocalypse was about to arrive at any mont.
The sudden surge of dark power narrowed Irving's field of vision significantly. At this mont, he could only see about ten ters around him; beyond that, pure darkness engulfed everything. No sounds erged from the darkness, as if all life had succumbed to its ultimate decay. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
"What are you hesitating for? Do you want to stay in the real world and beco one of the monsters completely twisted by dark power?"
An entirely unfamiliar, elderly voice echoed in Irving's ear.Irving tried to determine the direction from which this elderly voice ca, but he was unsuccessful. It seed as though the voice originated from within his own mind.
"Do not waste any more ti. I am speaking to you from the Taikoo Fla Pearl. I am a mber of the Taikoo Divine Clan, and this is rely the last remnant of my spirit."The elderly voice sounded very weak, and it appeared that the speaker bore no hostility.
Thus, Irving did not regard the voice as an enemy. He took one last look at the real world, realizing he could only see a ter ahead. The real world was beyond saving; pure darkness had transford it into a silent hell.
Irving ultimately passed through the portal and entered the Shelter Ga world. The mont the portal closed, the place he had just occupied was engulfed by pure dark power.Irving arrived directly at Hope Ark. His companions were anxiously observing the events unfolding in both the real world and the Shelter Ga world, but Irving did not join them. He hoped to converse with the elderly voice from within the Taikoo Fla Pearl.
"The apocalypse has co again, hasn't it?" Before Irving could speak, the elderly voice reappeared."You are correct; the apocalypse has indeed returned! Moreover, this ti, it has arrived earlier than anyone anticipated," Irving quickly responded.
"This is inevitable. Each ti the apocalypse arrives, it cos sooner than the last. The apocalypse that the Taikoo Divine Clan faced occurred much earlier than the seers predicted," the elderly voice conveyed a crucial piece of information.
Irving promptly followed up with a question. "Since you are the last surviving mber of the Taikoo Divine Clan, could you tell what thods we should use to combat the impending apocalypse?"
Irving's question went unanswered.
Monts later, the elderly voice let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "You don't really believe that the apocalypse can be prevented, do you? Since you have already obtained the power of the Taikoo Fla Pearl, it ans you must have found the remnants of the Taikoo Divine Clan. Did you not see the signs of the apocalypse in those remnants? The Taikoo Divine Clan ultimately failed, so how could an ordinary race like yours succeed?"
The elderly voice clearly did not believe that the apocalypse could be stopped. However, Irving did not lose confidence due to the other's skepticism. "I did see signs of the apocalypse in the remnants of the Taikoo Divine Clan. But I also saw that you were constantly searching for ways to combat the Dark Overlord. You already knew that each era would face the arrival of the Dark Overlord. You must have found so thods to counter the Dark Overlord back then. Although you ultimately could not succeed, if you tell those thods, I might be able to succeed."
Irving continued to persuade the voice. The elderly voice seed to be swayed by Irving's words. "You are right; we, the Taikoo Divine Clan, did find potential thods to combat the Dark Overlord. However, the conditions for the success of these thods are extrely harsh."
"No matter how harsh the conditions, I am willing to try! The apocalypse we are facing this ti is completely different from before. In previous eras, the apocalypse would only wipe out most of the life, always leaving so to begin the next era. But in the current era we are in, after the apocalypse arrives, the Dark Overlord will appear directly in both the real world and the Shelter Ga world. It will annihilate all life. This will lead to our current era being the last one!"
Irving was indeed very anxious. The elderly voice fell silent for a few minutes before speaking again, in an even weaker tone. "Although I think you will not succeed, I comnd your courage. If every mber of the Taikoo Divine Clan had your bravery, perhaps we could have stopped the apocalypse."
After saying this, the elderly voice coughed twice. Its condition seed very unstable, and Irving was deeply worried that before the voice could reveal a thod to defeat the Dark Overlord, its spirit might completely shatter. "Since you have obtained the Taikoo Fla Pearl, you should know the location of the Taikoo Divine Clan's remnants. You need to go below the remnants to search for a magical formation."
As the elderly voice spoke, Irving was quickly processing thoughts in his mind. He did know the location of the Taikoo Divine Clan's remnants, but he didn't believe there was a passage leading down to the remnants.
"The magical formations below the remnants were not set up by the Taikoo Divine Clan. They were established by an unknown race in ancient tis. As long as sufficient power is infused into the magical formations, they can annihilate an equivalent amount of dark power. The Dark Overlord itself is the embodint of dark power; if enough dark power is destroyed, the Dark Overlord will no longer be able to sustain its existence in our world. If you are powerful enough, you could even completely annihilate the Dark Overlord. This would lead to the total disappearance of dark power!"
The elderly voice finally revealed what he knew about potentially defeating the Dark Overlord. By the end, the tone of the elderly voice had grown very weak. "I wish you success, although your kind is not as powerful as we, the Taikoo Divine Clan. But I see the spirit of struggle in you."
After uttering this last sentence, the elderly voice faded away completely.Irving remained silent for a mont before muttering to himself, "I will succeed! This is not just for humanity; it's also for you, the Taikoo Divine Clan. I will prove to the Dark Overlord that life will find a way! Even the embodint of pure dark power cannot annihilate all life!"
Irving spoke softly, for these words were ant for the last mber of the Taikoo Divine Clan he had just spoken to. After saying this, he quickly adjusted his emotions.Irving indeed had to go to the remnants of the Taikoo Divine Clan, but that should be after the first wave of the apocalypse had passed. After all, the first wave of the apocalypse would be terrifying. Even with his considerable power, he shouldn't take unnecessary risks. He needed to reserve his strength for the final battle.
At this point, Irving was still unaware of who would beco his allies in that ultimate showdown; he only knew that the Dark Overlord was undoubtedly his enemy. Although the prophecy stated that Sophia would beco his ally against the apocalypse, Irving was not ready to view her as such just yet. After all, not long ago, Sophia had been one of his most formidable enemies.
Irving decided to first calm the spirits of his companions within the Hope Ark. Once the first wave of the apocalypse had passed, he would imdiately need to face the true final battle. In that confrontation, his companions would, of course, need to fight alongside him. Therefore, Irving hoped his companions would prepare for battle without delay.
As Irving reunited with his companions in Hope Ark, the apocalypse truly arrived! Both the real world and the Shelter Ga world faced the ultimate catastrophe!
