The battlefield.
The God of Life had personally arrived at the center of the entire battlefield.
Her telepathy had been fully released to examine every last corpse.
The Abyssal monsters had all thoroughly died.
——killed by the wraiths using means that should reasonably exist in a war of this scale.
The wraiths had also paid the appropriate price for it, as there were large numbers of wraith corpses strewn all over, and even corpses from the [Chaos] side, all of which was clear evidence of war.
The God of Life slowly calmed down.
In truth, she had realized something amiss after the Wraith Lord left.
——-the Wraith Lord had left too quickly.
Although he appeared completely calm, his speech was natural, sensible, and she didn’t notice any discrepancy during the entire process; he had still arrived too quickly and left too quickly.
This could be understood as the strict discipline of their military, but if I think deeply about this, doesn’t it feel a bit unusual?
The God of Life silently thought.
A carrier of [Chaos] flew in front of her, knelt down on one knee, and said: “Report! The entire battlefield had been completely examined, all Abyssal creatures had died in battle, there are no stragglers!”
The God of Life lightly sighed.
Perhaps I’ve been too paranoid?
While thinking that, she ordered: 『 Clean up the battlefield 』
“Yes!”
The carrier of [Chaos] delightedly relayed the order.
——-cleaning up the battlefield was essentially just them collecting treasures.
Every last weapon, armour, treasure, and even certain unique Abyssal corpses were objects of value, which were all worthy of being compiled and pocketed.
The God of Life had only agreed to the Wraith Lord’s request due to receiving his Divine Crystal, combined with how beneficial the tasks assigned to her was, plus the fact that the war had turned completely one-sided with no chance of failure.
She had always been a cautious individual.
Following her order, the God of Life quickly went to work.
During the next few dozen minutes, the clean-up work went very smoothly. Although the majority of the battlefield’s items were completely useless to the God of Life so she simply bestowed them to the carriers of [Chaos], there were still one or two artifacts of great value that the God of Life couldn’t help but take as her own.
This was nothing but beneficial.
Time slowly passed.
Everything was perfectly normal.
It was only after the clean-up of the battlefield was completed that the carriers of [Chaos] noticed a large hole at the edge of the battlefield.
This hole didn’t appear to be anything extraordinary, even if someone jumped in to check, they’d find that it was completely empty, a barren place.
But there was a carrier of [Chaos] with excellent scouting abilities.
He noticed something wrong.
“True Deity, that place was hidden by a combination of the wraith’s magic and talisman techniques, thus transformed into a different world separated from us. This was a typical World Technique, which is very hard to come by”
“Fortunately, this humble one had a unique clairvoyance technique that allowed me to discover the overlapping of these two worlds—– otherwise, we wouldn’t have discovered it at all”
The scout boasted his achievement.
The God of Life nodded and accepted the other party’s exaggerated words.
———because even she couldn’t discover that place, but a person with a unique ability managed to find it.
It could be seen that within the infinite worlds, simply being strong didn’t necessarily mean that one was superior to everyone else in every way.
The God of Life questioned: 『 The wraiths tried to hide it from all of our sights, what do you think it would be? 』
The commanders who were powerful carriers of [Chaos] exchanged glances.
“True Deity, I think it might be some sort of treasure” one person commented.
『 Treasure? 』the God of Life said.
“Indeed, a unique treasure that they couldn’t take with them, having no choice but to leave hidden here through special means. After we had left, they would then send people here to release the World Technique and excavate whatever was inside”
The God of Life pondered: 『 Couldn’t take with them…』
Another carrier of [Chaos] followed up: “Indeed, your excellency. On the battlefield, the wraiths were like a hungry pack of wolves that pounced at anything of value they could find, which left us with practically nothing”
“If their world wasn’t under attack, they wouldn’t have hurriedly run back”
The God of Life pondered for a while.
The Abyss had already lost.
This location was hidden by the wraiths, so if there truly were any dangers here, the Wraith Lord wouldn’t have appeared completely calm as he did.
He would have been angered, focused more on their troops, and attacked with everything they had.
The God of Life quickly questioned: 『 While I wasn’t here, did the Wraith Lord act at all? 』
“Not a single time” the carriers of [Chaos] replied in unison.
The Wraith Lord did not act… but a World Technique was performed to seal that place away, not allowing anyone to see it.
The Wraith Lord then ran back to save his Wraith realm…
The God of Life nodded: 『 Hm, that certainly makes sense. At least, the Wraith Lord didn’t mention a word of this World Technique to me before he left 』
The carriers of [Chaos] all looked at her with enthusiastic gazes.
“True Deity, ma’am—-” someone hesitantly said.
『 Nothing else deserves to be said, lead me to where it is 』the God of Life curtly said.
Followed by a large number of carriers of [Chaos], she made her way to the edge of the battlefield and looked down the hole.
『 I just happens to know a method to break World Techniques, let me see exactly how strong the Wraith Lord’s World Technique truly is 』
Saying so, the God of Life reached her black tentacles into the hole.
A large number of carriers of [Chaos] were all waiting with bated breaths.
As the black tentacles reached a few meters deep, the entire hole began to tremble.
A second later.
“Bam!”
Like an illusion, the hole completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The twisted place was slowly returning to normal.
“Your True Deity excellency, your power is truly admirable!”
“Indeed, our Deity is so powerful!”
“Ahahaha, the wraiths’ careful preparation was destroyed just like that”
The carriers of [Chaos] laughed with clear scorn of the wraiths.
But the God of Life was a bit stunned.
Clearly… I haven’t even done anything yet…
Was the Wraith Lord’s World Technique so weak?
What exactly is it hiding?
The God of Life and everyone else turned to look at the recovering space.
It gradually returned to normal.
Instantly.
Countless screams and desperate cries resounded.
In the hole, numerous wraiths appeared, all of which were attacking a certain direction with everything they had.
The direction was the deepest part of the hole.
A single eyeball that was a few hundred meters in diameter was silently floating there.
None of their attacks managed to reach the eyeball at all.
At the same time, the wraiths who attacked the eyeball fell down like dominoes and died.
Countless corpses.
Wraith corpses.
The number of corpses had already piled up to become the size of a small mountain.
The war was desperate.
Or rather, this was a war that couldn’t be won no matter what.
Wherever the eyeball’s gaze passed through, the wraiths were immediately killed, their bodies collapsed to the ground and lost all signs of life.
The wraiths who were still alive were exerting all of their power to attack that eyeball.
However, the eyeball didn’t notice these wraiths at all, it simply hovered and instinctively moved about,
There weren’t too many wraiths remaining.
Finally, some of the wraiths noticed the situation outside.
“Look! The carriers of [Chaos]!”
“The master had safely left!”
“What?”
“They really are the carriers of [Chaos]!”
“It seems sir Wraith Lord is already safe!”
As if they had been pardoned, the remaining wraiths immediately turned around and ran.
The God of Life instantly understood the situation.
The Wraith Lord gave up so many wraiths just to stall time for himself, while he ran away as fast as he could.
Without hesitation, the God of Life immediately turned around to flee the battlefield.
Don’t be ridiculous!
Not even the Wraith Lord and his countless wraiths managed to even stand up against that eyeball.
Even the Wraith Lord ran away!
The God of Life was deathly fearful.
She sped up as fast as she godly could, instantly traversing across the entire battlefield like a flash of light.
The void around her parted itself, displaying the images of countless worlds for her to choose.
The God of Life quickly chose a barren wasteland of a world and was about to crash into it.
At this exact moment.
Perhaps it was due to the God of Life’s presence being powerful, or because of the countless world images, but the eyeball suddenly looked up and gazed towards the God of Life.
Following the eyeball’s movement, the wraiths who were about to flee, as well as the carriers of [Chaos] who still haven’t realized what happened, were all frozen in place.
All of them lost all signs of life, their bodies turned into drifting sand that collapsed and scattered.
All of them.
Were dead.
Only the God of Life remained, unable to move.
「 Who are you? 」
A voice resounded in the God of Life’s mind.
The God of Life attempted to cast countless spells and magic but still could not move a single muscle.
She finally realized her situation.
『 I beg you, don’t kill me, I can pledge my allegiance to you! 』the God of Life turned around, faced the giant eyeball, and replied.
The eyeball gazed directly at her.
The voice continued to resound in the God of Life’s mind:
「 Who—– are you? 」
The God of Life noticed the other party’s impatience and hurriedly answered: 『 I am the God of Life, a Deity from the Inner Plane, now a Deity of [Chaos] 』
「 The God of Life? The Inner Plane? Let me think a little bit…」the voice continued.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The God of Life’s body turned into drifting sand and was scattered into the wind as well.
A Deity who had survived for countless eons.
A Deity who was willing to consume her descendants just to continue living.
Suffered such a frivolous death.
A while later, the voice finally spoke up again:
「 Deity…? It could not even endure my thought, what a weak existence 」
…
At another location.
The sea.
Two Crossing Fish were moving forward through the waves.
“Look!” Ye Fei Li called out.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao both focus their gaze.
At the very edge of the sea was a rocky cliff that connected heaven and earth.
Lines of grey text appeared in front of their vision:
[Due to your previous excellence, you have arrived 30 minute early]
[This is the Perished Secret Wall of Chaos. Behind this Secret Wall lies Chaos’ secret for fighting against the Apocalypse]
[Chaos itself is a key, one that can help you unlock the secret in the darkness, but you must carry respect in your hearts, otherwise, not even your bones shall remain]
[Attention: The next Apocalypse will arrive in 17 minutes]
[You must quickly find the way to pass through the Secret Wall]
