Chapter 1679 - 1237: Hell’s Collapse

Uroboros... is dead.

Of course, no one believes such a great being capable of traversing the world lines and devouring Level Six of Hell would fall so lightly. Even without more information, Dazzling Star knows it’s far beyond the concept of a creature, equating to the Void Realm, truly eternal and indestructible.

But at least at this moment, Uroboros, which descended here trying to further infect Level Six of Hell, seems to have been truly eliminated by their concentrated attack.

Everyone knows it will surely make a comeback. This world remains in jeopardy, and its resurrection may only take a few years, decades, or even centuries... But what the mages need is just this little buffer time.

If civilization is a spiral ascension, then the first thousand years were the valley of civilization, with the intensity of war suppressed to the lowest, the competition among the five nations nearly nonexistent, and the six Divine Lords suppressing the gods... 1668 years have passed, and both earth and Heaven have reached a bottleneck period.

Now, with the birth of the seventh layer of the Void Realm, and the five nations reunited, this is the turning point of mage civilization; a long valley ushers in a rebound, and both mortals and gods realize that the next hundred years is an era of immense possibilities for great turmoil.

Though the leading Dazzling Star may not laugh last, the new mages just stepping into the Void Realm now might step into the Divine Domain in a few years... This is not some Frenzy, but rather a past once experienced by the Divine Lords.

In fact, every Divine Lord rose amid chaos during such great turmoil. Like the ebb and flow of tides, mage civilization undergoes a cataclysmic era that sweeps the entire world every few hundred years; sometimes it’s the Child of Destiny breaking through the Void Realm to raise the Heavenly Kingdom, other times it’s a Heavenly Divine Lord reaping fortunes. Vishi has witnessed two times of Heavenly Kingdom being raised, but those challengers became nothing more than nourishment for Dazzling Star and Blood Moon.

Over thousands of years, how many demigods have raised Heavenly Kingdom? More than six!

But even with the initial advantage, neither Dazzling Star nor Blood Moon can stop the rise of the Abyss, the All-Knowing, Senluo, and Skydream.

There is only the eternal throne, but no eternal royal power.

After being suppressed by the six Divine Lords for 1668 years, civilization is about to explode, and within the next few years, mages destined to challenge the Six-winged God and Supreme of Magic will certainly appear. In fact, they have already witnessed these destined mages—besides Ash the anomaly, Sonia, Lissdia, Weiser, and Vishi are all talents capable of dominating an era.

They have surely taken shortcuts, but shortcuts mean tremendous risks besides benefits. Their ability to withstand pressure and grow is a testament to their talent, much like elementary school students skipping to university yet still claiming the top GPA, which is undoubtedly harder than normal promotion.

Besides them, there are certainly many more soaring young mages. When these young mages raise their heads, they naturally desire to shatter the Heavenly Kingdom that has overlooked the earth for thousands of years... because how else would they board the ship of the New World without replacing the remnants of the old era?

The initial meeting where all kinds of things come into being will eventually be greeted by a curtain call, and the new and old eras will soon alternate. For the Divine Lords, they might face unprecedented challenges, but for mage civilization, this is an unprecedented opportunity for cumulative growth to bear fruit.

Perhaps a few to several decades from now, the mages standing at the peak of civilization will have changed, but they will undoubtedly stand higher and see further!

Currently, Ash and the five others can only narrowly win against Uroboros, but with a few decades of development time, if their abilities still remain stagnant or only slightly improved, they should all step down and hand over to someone worthy. Or rather, if they can’t seize this chance to advance, others will naturally replace them.

Ash sensed the silent disconnection from the four Heavenly Kingdoms’ domination, and he wasn’t surprised at all. Uroboros’ death implies that this unprecedented Supreme alliance of Divine Lords is also simultaneously broken... like a brief, resplendent firework, once the passion is burnt out, it leaves a long, indifferent black night.

Instead, Dazzling Star’s Heavenly Kingdom remains under his control, which makes Ash slightly surprised. But he raises his eyebrows and looks at the person before him, reflecting in his eyes not any trust but a pride as dazzling as Starlight.

Words from the Sword Law echoed in Ash’s ear: "Ash, this world is not yours to save. From now on, leave everything to me."

Indeed, this is the fundamental difference between Dazzling Star and the four Divine Lords. She considers this her world, so she would go all out to protect her possessions. She never considered the possibility of Ash’s backstabbing, or rather, even if the worst happened, she isn’t afraid.

Only someone as confident and decisive would say, "Mages pursuing perfection are like crying children." She is too clear about what she wants, so she wouldn’t shed a single tear for what she abandons.

Well then, as you wish.

Two mage-killer weapons erupted with black and white flames, Ash spun left and circled right, wielding the multicolored Sword Tide; Dazzling Star countered, Heaven in her left hand and Starry Sky in her right, raining down billions of brilliance!

Boom!

The multicolored Sword Tide and Star River Sword Cascade did not cancel each other out or annihilate but instead infiltrated and merged, forming a supreme storm that swept through the Fantasy Hell. Even the World Secret Domain constructed by the hell demigods with millennia of resources became part of it, as it can’t be taken away anyway, it’s better to reutilize waste.

When every inch of land had been washed over several times, the demigods of Hell finally dared to poke their heads out. They looked at this thoroughly cleared New World, feeling a sense of rebirth despite it having been just a short while ago.
