Ancient God, Jiang Feng, Mister Mu, and Progenitor Chen were all beings who were either Immortals or possessed the power of Immortals.
Chu Yi, Lu Yuan, Wu Tian, and the rest of the Three Realms and Six Daos were included.
There was also Mu Shen, Lu Tianyi, Sovereign Dou Sheng, the rest of Three Suns and Six Rulers, the Outer Eight Paths, the Dark Hand, and powerful beasts such as the Pridebeast, the Megalith, the Divine Eagle, and the Python Ancestor.
The weakest person that was targeted only had the strength of a Progenitor.
In other words, the Divine King had locked onto every cultivator with the strength above the Progenitor level in the Tianyuan, and it was preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
One by one, the individuals raised their heads to look upwards. The points of light fell like meteors. They did not move fast, but no one aside from Ancestor Lu Yuan could evade them. The path that those lights traced through the universe was the lifespan that remained for all who had been targeted.
Ancestor Lu Yuan was stunned, and he shouted urgently, "Quick! Touch one another! Take as many away as you can."
Ancient God did not move. Staring upwards, he said, "This is the best ending."
Lu Yuan trembled.
Hongyan Mavis looked down at her hands. "Yes, this is the best ending. With our lives, we can increase its karmic chain. Even a small bit can be considered a contribution."
Big Sis laughed freely. "Little Seven already left, so we’re much more relaxed now. Let’s add to this old monster’s karmic chain to make it easier for him to deal with it in the future."
Behind them, the people who had not been within the range of those lights, such as Big Sis’s battle group and Leon's Armada, started to charge forward, one after another. They all stared up at the lights. They also intended to aid Lord Lu’s future battle against this old monster, adding as much to its karmic chain as possible.
Resetting the Tianyuan would not be any worse of an increase to the karmic chain than eliminating all of these creatures.
They were also not alone.
Throughout the Tianyuan, people gathered together. Not for Lu Yuan to save them, but rather to increase the Divine King’s karmic chain. No matter how much their deaths would increase it, it still would count.
Since the Trio was destined to be destroyed, they would ensure that their deaths at least had value.
In the Outerverse, Earth and Zenyu Star saw gatherings. In the Innerverse, the Astral Combat Academy, the Sword Sect, the Lingling clan, Chaosgod Mountain, the Starfall Sea, and in the Neoverse, the Cosmic Sect, Eversky Island, and Mt. Microcosms, everywhere, both familiar and unfamiliar people gathered.
Of Lu Yin’s generation, some saw him as a friend, others as their lord, and even some as an enemy.
Since then, thousands of years had passed. New generations had risen up, and they all regarded Lu Yin as their ruler. Their trust in him and their resolve in humanity’s inheritance shook the Divine King’s understanding of this species, especially in the face of catastrophe.
Then let it be even more shocking. If death is certain, then let it be brilliant. Even ants could bite an elephant to death. Every insignificant bit of damage would eventually accumulate into power that could kill.
Long Xi stood by the stone table on the mountain behind the Heavens Sect, gently brewing tea with a smile. She acted as if Lu Yin were sitting at the table.
Wendy Yushan watched the falling meteor rain with a smile.
Zhuo Daynight, Cai Jianqiang, Liu Tianmu, Ling Gong, Xi Yue, Starsibyl, Yuan Shi, Xia Luo, Master Shan, Grandmaster Gu Yan, Chu Jian, He Ran all looked up at the same starry sky and saw the same meteor shower.
Some were targeted by the lights, while others were not. Even so, they all knew that today marked their end.
They had never expected to encounter such despair at the height of humanity’s rise to power. If even Lu Yin could not resolve this catastrophe, then they would pay in his place. No one was unafraid of death, but given that there was no choice, they would simply press forward.
From the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, Green Lotus and the others saw the meteor shower, and they knew that the Divine King was burying the Tianyuan.
They could not stop it.
Lu Yin, farewell.
Brother Lu, farewell.
Little Seven...
Big Brother Lu...
Farewell...
"Hehe, it seems that it is truly over." Old Man Hehe chuckled, their emotions indecipherable.
Down on the ground, Blood Tower staggered to his feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then reached up to grasp the hilt of his shattered blade. He still intended to charge out once more. The Spirit Nidus was being reset, the Tianyuan was doomed, and the Nine Odysseys Megaverse would be no exception. Since that’s the case, let me pave the way for those who come after.
Gripping his blade tightly, he abruptly charged at Ni Bieluo. Even in the face of death, Blood Tower was determined to unearth the strength of this old monster, in order to carve out a sliver of hope of survival for Green Lotus.
"Blood Tower!" Green Lotus shouted.
Blood Tower’s blood energy surged upwards, his iron will unyielding. At the very least, he had to force out the old monster’s true strength.
Suddenly, his vision shifted to the side, though his body remained in place. Behind him, a shadow with flapping wings loomed: Nan Ling.
Greater Sancte Blood Tower struggled to turn around and then saw Nan Ling’s ferocious expression, mockery filling its eyes.
He had been decapitated.
Green Lotus’s eyes blazed with fury. "Blood Tower—!"
He pointed at Nan Ling in a rage. "Beast, you deserve to die!"
Nan Ling seized Blood Tower’s head and instantly vanished. Where it had left, the man’s body fell, his blood energy and Lifeforce spilling out from it.
Countless people of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse watched the corpse fall, their hearts filling with desolation.
Blood Tower had also died.
Nan Ling cackled, crying out with a shrill voice, "After this battle, I will have to sleep for countless years, but this is worth the price! I will make your human civilization understand the consequence of offending the Plume Immortals!"
Its talons were still clasping Blood Tower’s head, which dripped with blood.
The man had died with his eyes open. He had wanted to force out Ni Bieluo’s strength for Green Lotus’s sake. Though the gap between Blood Tower and his chosen opponent had been immense, he believed that, even if he could not force the old monster to reveal its true strength, he would at least die by Ni Bieluo’s hands, adding to its karmic chain. Everything had been to win a chance of survival for Greater Sancte Green Lotus and Lu Yin.
Blood Tower had not expected to be ambushed and killed by Nan Ling. His death had not generated any value at all.
Green Lotus’s expression fell. Never before had he wanted to kill Nan Ling and destroy the Plume Immortals as now. This feeling was even stronger than when he had learned that Hong Xia had betrayed humanity, or when he had learned about the Crimson Lotus Tomb.
Indeed, his own Crimson Lotus Tomb had also originated from the Plume Immortals.
The Plume Immortals.
The Plume Immortals...
Greater Sancte Green Lotus clenched his fists. In his life, he would surely exterminate the Plume Immortals as a species.
Nan Ling laughed arrogantly, full of ridicule. "That human called Lu Yin has already fled. What a ridiculous will. Disgusting, disgusting! Humans, you should not exist!"
After saying that, the bird vanished.
Green Lotus’s pupils shrank. This is bad!
The next moment, when Nan Ling appeared, it stood before Ku Deng.
The man was locked in a fierce battle with two of the Death Megaverse’s Immortal skeletons. He could die at any moment. He had not expected Nan Ling to suddenly appear.
He turned around, only to be met with Nan Ling’s talons.
In outer space, karma fell. Green Lotus made his move, but he was a step too late. Nan Ling tore Ku Deng apart, his blood staining the area. The Plume Immortal then vanished again.
Meanwhile, the karma only managed to force the two Immortal skeletons back a bit.
Green Lotus found it impossible to track the bird. Its ability to freely teleport across the battlefield was nearly impossible to deal with.
In the distance, Qing Yun clung to Awe Gate, a rare show of fear appearing in her eyes. She was afraid that Nan Ling would come to kill her mother. Awe Gate still had a chance of survival. Qing Yun pressed the Longevity Vine firmly against Awe Gate. Mother, you cannot die!
Master Qing Cao closed his eyes. Absolute power could crush any scheme. He had already reached his limit. He simply lacked time.
That time would never come.
He would be the next one.
Karma descended around him, as Green Lotus also believed that Master Qing Cao would be Nan Ling’s next target. Thus, the Greater Sancte had moved to protect the man in advance.
Yet Master Qing Cao refused.
He raised his head to look at Green Lotus, and gave a small smile. "So long as it kills one more—me—it will no longer be able to act."
Green Lotus’s gaze trembled.
Nan Ling’s karmic chain was reaching its limits. Before being sealed, it had already fought against Obscura, and now, it was fighting against a human civilization. During the current battle, it had killed multiple human experts, including Blood Tower and Ku Deng. No matter how one calculated things, the bird’s karmic chain had to be nearing completion.
Master Qing Cao took a deep breath. "For this final step of the plan, I will use myself as bait. At the very least, one more supreme powerhouse will be removed from this battle.
"Green Lotus, do not stop me."
The Greater Sancte stared at Master Qing Cao in a daze. Do not... stop you?
Master Qing Cao stepped out of the protection of the karma. He gazed at the Tianyuan. He had stayed in that megaverse for many years and had witnessed the rise of that young man, Lu Yin. He was truly happy that the child had managed to reach his current level.
If Qing Cao had truly sided with Obscura for the sake of the survival of the Spirit Nidus, Lu Yin would have died long ago. Given enough time, you will surely astonish the entire Aevum Inch.
Nan Ling appeared some distance away from Master Qing Cao, glaring at him with a ferocious expression. Its eyes held both arrogance and mockery. "Human, are you truly seeking death?"
Master Qing Cao met Nan Ling’s gaze. "You mongrel bird, do you understand that your Plume Immortals are certain to be destroyed and that you will be destroyed by us humans?"
"Hahahaha! Humans, you are too arrogant! In the past, the Nine Ramparts were like this, yet they were invincible and powerful. What do you have?" Nan Ling mocked.
Master Qing Cao’s lips curved upwards. "Your foolishness."
Nan Ling’s eyes suddenly flared. "You do not even dare to try to flee and simply seek death. Do you want me to kill you?"
As it spoke, it looked over at Green Lotus as well. "Do you also want me to kill him?
"Hahahaha, humans, you all want me to kill him, don’t you? Once I kill him, I will no longer be able to act against you, right? Hahahaha, you are afraid! Admit it! You wish to use his death to protect yourselves, hahahaha!
"What a despicable race. What a disgusting legacy. Since you wish to see me kill him, then let him become the beginning of the Plume Immortals’ execution of human civilization! I guarantee that, in the future, whenever we encounter a human civilization in the Aevum Inch, we will certainly... Kill without mercy!"
After speaking, a Godplume Spear shot at Master Qing Cao.
Godplume Spears could move swiftly, but at this moment, this one moved slowly. Whether by coincidence or design, the moment it would strike Master Qing Cao would also be the exact moment that the Divine King’s meteor shower struck the Tianyuan.
Nan Ling was cooperating with the Divine King to bury this human civilization. It wanted humanity to know that, in the Aevum Inch, anyone could survive except for humans.
Countless people watched the scene unfold, sorrow filling their hearts. As they watched the Godplume Spear approach Master Qing Cao, they also seemed to see the meteor shower fall upon the Tianyuan.
At this moment, not even Ni Bieluo and Death's Dominion made any moves. This would be the second turning point for this human civilization, a complete destruction of their hope to rise.
Ironically, the one shouting the loudest was once again a Plume Immortal. Its cry, and the current scene, would become the final images that countless people saw.
Master Qing Cao faced death calmly. To Nan Ling, the man was pitiful, but to himself, this was the only remaining counterattack available to him. He would use his own death to retaliate this once for the sake of his human civilization.
The Godplume Spear fell, and in the Tianyuan, the Divine King’s meteor shower descended.
Master Qing Cao stared at the Godplume Spear. Coldness spread from his brow to envelop his entire body, yet his eyes looked down, as though to see all of human civilization.
