Chapter 218: What Use Are You?! The End.
The realm of a Second Rebirth, First Ring God.
The soul ring was so immense it could envelop the entire Douluo Star. Looking at Douluo Star from the universe, it was as if an additional planetary ring had appeared!
And when that magnificent planetary ring vanished.
The originally ash-red and deathly silent Douluo Star returned to its vibrant, watery blue appearance of old.
Aside from the damaged buildings and broken mountain ranges that had not recovered, all those who had died due to Tang San's activation of the undead scourge, provided a trace of their soul remained, had their bodies reshaped and were resurrected.
Of course, Ye Cheng could do nothing for those who had been sacrificed early on and no longer possessed souls. Even with his current Second Rebirth cultivation realm, he could not reverse time and retrieve people from the river of time.
After displaying the great power of a deity and completely purifying the deeply entrenched Abyssal erosion across the entire Douluo Star in one fell swoop.
In the process, Ye Cheng also took the opportunity to streamline the rules of the Douluo Continent, removing unnecessary elements. Additionally, he broke all the shackles that the God Realm had imposed on all living beings, restoring the world to its original state.
From now on, the Douluo Continent will no longer be affected by the God Realm. Moreover, soul beasts will no longer face heavenly tribulations when breaking through. To break through the million-year mark and become a divine beast, they will no longer need to form a contract with humanity.
At Ye Cheng's current cultivation realm, breaking the shackles imposed by the God Realm on Douluo Star was nothing more than a simple flick of the wrist.
After removing the shackles imposed by the God Realm, Ye Cheng suddenly gazed in a certain direction, brilliant light bursting forth from his golden eyes. At this moment, he followed the former connection between the Douluo Continent and the God Realm, his gaze piercing through the ethereal Void and locking onto the God Realm, which had long since hidden itself away in a corner of the universe.
What he saw was a seven-colored sphere.
This was the God Realm, not a physical planet. It was a world formed by the condensation of highly concentrated energy.
"They absorb the faith of all living beings, yet they cannot protect them."
"The moment a crisis appears, they abandon their believers and flee."
At this moment, sharp, cold light emanated from Ye Cheng's golden pupils. The once lofty God Realm trembled slightly under his gaze! It was as if it couldn't bear the pressure of his single glance.
"Gods who cannot protect their people, what use are you?!"
With that.
The God Realm, which had hidden away in the ethereal Void, abandoning the Douluo Continent to preserve itself, had escaped the Abyss but ultimately could not escape its fate of annihilation.
Boom!
That beautiful, seven-colored sphere exploded with a roar, shockingly annihilated by his single glance from across a vast distance of space! Utterly destroyed!
[YES!!!!]
[That must be the God Realm. Good riddance!]
[Exactly! Relying on believers' faith yet unable to protect them—such a God Realm should be destroyed as soon as possible!]
[They really treated us like sheep to be sheared.]
[Exactly! It should be destroyed as soon as possible!]
The countless audience members in the Live Broadcast Room applauded and cheered. They didn't actually know much about the God Realm, only that the Douluo Continent was originally under its jurisdiction. But when the Abyss invaded, the God Realm directly abandoned the Douluo Continent.
When harvesting faith, they acted as if God loved the world.
Yet when a crisis arose, they ran faster than anyone else.
In the eyes of the people of the Douluo Continent, such a God Realm was better off destroyed.
God Realm.
The five God Kings, witnessing the scene in the future video where the God Realm was effortlessly annihilated by the other party with a single glance, couldn't help but tremble all over.
This was both indignation and fear!
Because if not for this Q&A revealing it, the future now displayed would indeed have been their original future.
In their original future, they had abandoned the Douluo Continent, choosing to preserve themselves. As a result, they avoided the calamity of the Abyss, but ultimately could not escape being eliminated by a powerhouse who had risen from the subordinate world they had abandoned.
How ironic this scene was.
"Audacious! Truly audacious!"
The Asura God trembled with rage, "How dare he! How dare he!"
The other four God Kings also had grim expressions. Anyone who saw their future selves annihilated with a casual glance, like an ant, would likely not be in a pleasant mood.
"Calm down."
The God of Evil composed himself and said, "This video only shows one possible future. Now that we know what will happen, we have a chance to change it."
"Exactly. In the end, the root of everything lies in the Abyssal invasion," the Life Goddess advised. "If the Abyss hadn't invaded the Douluo Continent, then what happened in the video wouldn't occur."
"It's just that we still don't understand how the Abyss targeted the Douluo Continent," the Destruction God said. "If Tang San is killed, will someone else still be chosen?"
Indeed, this was what the five God Kings worried about most. While the Abyss was terrifying, it hadn't descended yet. Although the five God Kings felt a sense of crisis, watching it through a screen still lacked a sense of reality. Subconsciously, they even harbored some doubts about its authenticity.
After all, was this Q&A that revealed the future, and the video it played, truly real? Why couldn't it be fabricated?
If they wished, the five God Kings could easily do something similar; fabricating a false video was no difficulty for any being at the god-level. The true difficulty lay in the Q&A's very existence, which was too mysterious. They couldn't even glimpse a hint of its nature, even after mobilizing the power of the God Realm Central Hub.
This made the Q&A seem unfathomable in their hearts. Thus, they couldn't ignore the future it displayed. Although a trace of doubt lingered in their minds, at this stage, they could only try to believe.
In the video.
After annihilating the cowering God Realm with a single glance, Ye Cheng turned to look at Neptune and Sun Zhongjing, whose injuries he had also just casually healed. He raised his hand, and accompanied by a dazzling treasure aura, a ten-story pagoda appeared.
"This Ten Directions Heaven-Reaching Pagoda has grown alongside me as I surpassed the God King realm, reaching a level beyond it. If categorized by the God Realm's standards, this pagoda is now a Creator-level divine artifact!" Looking at the crystal-clear, ten-story small pagoda in his hand, Ye Cheng gently tossed it, letting it slowly float before the two God Kings.
"I will leave this divine artifact here. Should you encounter any crisis that cannot be resolved, you can use this divine artifact as an emergency measure. However, remember, to activate this divine artifact, it requires at least two or three God Kings working together to barely unleash a portion of its power." He spoke as if arranging his final affairs.
"Aren't you taking this divine artifact with you? Facing such a powerful enemy, having an extra divine artifact would mean an extra chance of victory," Neptune couldn't help but say, looking at the small ten-story pagoda before him.
"No need. My Flying Rainbow Sword is enough," Ye Cheng replied, shaking his head with a nonchalant expression.
But the audience in the Live Broadcast Room knew that "my Flying Rainbow Sword is enough" was just an excuse; he had no intention of returning alive. This journey was almost certainly an attempt to perish together with the Abyss Lord. Naturally, he needed to leave a trump card for the Douluo Continent.
This kind of fearless, dauntless heroism, marching boldly towards death.
In an instant, countless audience members who had unknowingly immersed themselves in the video were moved to tears.
Compared to those cold, selfish gods of the God Realm who abandoned them and fled at the crucial moment, this person—flesh and blood, who clearly could have escaped alone, yet chose to stay and perish with the powerful enemy for their sake—was the true god in their hearts!
At the end of the video.
As Ye Cheng charged alone into the Abyss Rift in the sky, he was followed by enraged roars and blazing golden light... until finally, the space rift completely vanished amidst distortion.
It ended.
