Let’s rewind time back a bit .
As Gu Qing Shan was hiding in the ship’s wreckage and got summoned by Chen Wang .
On another side .
Outside of the Strife Zones .
The world of the Spire .
An unprecedentedly tragic battle was coming to its end .
Oom——-
At the far end of the earth, the giant spire that connected heaven and earth was crashing down .
The Old Gods’ Tower of Knowledge was destroyed!
A sharp, high-pitched female voice echoed across the entire world: 『 Living beings created by the Gods, you have no idea what true despair really is 』
A frenzied male voice continued: 「 Your only value is the nutrients hidden in your souls! 」
A hyper-pitched, extremely high decibel chanting voice came from a unified voice between the male and female voices: 『 「 Souls! Sacrifice your souls to me, aaa————- 」 』
With an ear-piercing screech, the monster stood at the very center of the battlefield and opened its mouth .
Every person currently locked in battle suddenly collapsed .
Their souls came out from their bodies sucked into the monster’s mouth .
Countless souls on the battlefield were flying towards the monster .
The only ones who weren’t afraid of having their souls sucked away were the people of God Institute, as the rest fell into a terrifyingly desperate situation .
Even Lord-class Combatants who were thought to be invincible in the 900 million World Layers were unable to do anything against this .
They shook off their enemies from God Institute to attack the monster with their most powerful attacks .
But none of their attacks did anything .
The monster simply stood there, unscathed as it continued to suck everyone’s souls away .

Even quite a few Lord-class Combatants were unable to resist this suction and got their souls sucked right out from their bodies, going into the monster’s mouth .
While those who could resist it fell into a different sort of danger .
With every passing second, their bodies were being attacked with an intense destructive force .
In just a few moments, their bodies will have been destroyed by the invisible power, leaving their souls no place to stay .
At that point, their souls would no longer be able to resist the monster’s suction, getting pulled in and being devoured whole .
Fewer and fewer survivors were left on the battlefield with every passing moment .
The end of the 900 million World Layers was already in sight .
All of a sudden, a deep blue light that seemed almost like an ocean covered the entire battlefield .
Under the shine of this deep blue light, everyone’s souls were suddenly let free .
The monster’s soul suction was cut off .
『「 Who! Who dares to interfere with my feast!? 」 』
The male and female voices angrily roared in unison .
The remaining survivors on the battlefield shouted in surprise .
“Lady Darksea!”
“Lady Darksea, you’re here!”
“We’re saved!”
“Please command us in this battle!”
When she heard everyone’s voices, a deep sigh came from the endless void .
A sound quickly came into the ears of every survivor here: 「 I will bring you into the Strife Zones, as the Divine barrier that the seven Gods had set up there will soon be activated, hiding the entire Strife Zones away 」
「 Do not leave the Strife Zones, because only the Strife Zones of the 900 million World Layers will temporarily be safe! 」
「 You all must conserve your strength, live, and find a way to deal with it 」
Washed by the deep blue light, a layer of ice quickly formed around the bodies of everyone here .
This ice froze all of them and then——–
The ice crystals flew upwards and vanished without a trace .

The monster silently watched as this happened .
It had attempted several times but found itself unable to stop this divine technique .
Only after it had ended did the monster look deep towards a certain place in the void of space .

The monster’s female voice laughed loudly before slowly asking: 『 Where did those people go? 』
Silence .
No one answered her .
But the female voice sounded even more triumphant: 『 For me to not be able to stop these living beings from escaping, I presume it must be a Divinity——– how unexpected, besides those seven Gods, a Divinity still remains here that hasn’t escaped the 9 . 9 billion World Layers 』
The male voice spoke excitedly: 「 If you still haven’t escaped, then your end is already set in stone! 」
They both roared at once: 『 「 You won’t escape, your fate has reached its end! 」 』
Within the endless deep blue light, a female voice sighed .
She spoke: 「 Today I will die, but not by being devoured by you 」
As she spoke, the entire world began to crumble .
On the other side .
All remaining Combatants were sealed inside a frozen layer of ice, quickly traversing through countless worlds to reach the Strife Zones .
The ice crystals fell like a sudden meteor shower that quickly scattered and vanished among the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones .
The meteor shower ended in just the blink of an eye .
A second later .
The figure of light slowly echoed across all worlds of the Strife Zones .
It solemnly announced:
「 Announcement: The first group of followers to light their Tree of Divinity has appeared 」
「 The path to godhood has official opened 」
「 The Divine barrier of the Gods will soon be activated 」

「 The Strife Zones will be hidden away from the rest of the 900 million World Layers 」
「 From this moment onwards, anybody who leaves the Strife Zones will no longer be able to re-enter the Strife Zones! 」
The entire Strife Zones completely vanished from the 900 million World Layers .
No one else could find the missing 200 million World Layers anymore, losing all previous forms of traversal to and from those worlds .
At this time, inside the Strife Zones .
One of the countless frozen blocks of ice had traveled through the space vortex directly towards the world of Greyhan .
Around the ice, countless mystical divine runes appeared .
——these divine runes would ensure that the ice crystals will not be interfered with or discovered by any power .
Without a sound or warning, the ice went through the atmosphere of the world and landed in a secluded desert within Greyhan world .
The ice crystal quickly buried itself into the ground, surrounded by darkness .
A while later .
A female voice came from inside the ice .
“Blade… Edge… Pledge”
Oong!
An invisible wave spreads from this world outwards .
Inside the darkness underground .
The female voice coughed uncontrollably as if that incantation just now drained all of her powers .
After a moment of wait, she struggled to speak: “Who… is there?”
A worried voice came out .
[Are you Yun Ji? Forecaster of Calamity, lady Serena?]
This was Gu Qing Shan’s voice .
Time quickly passed .
Greyhan’s world .
It wasn’t morning yet, so this was currently the darkest hours of the day .
Far in the sky, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came .
A single bird dashed through the darkness, falling straight down from the sky .
Not a single bit of aura or presence came from this bird, no matter what method you tried to use to sense it, you would get the same results .
That this was a normal bird .
While flying straight down, the bird was still flapping its wings .
——-it was still attempting to fly even faster downwards .
At a certain point .
When the falling bird had almost reached the ground .
It suddenly vanished .
A man in jet black armor wearing a golden mask appeared instead .
Hovering in the sky, the man stared at the vast desert below him .
He flashed, disappeared where he stood and reappeared directly on the ground; a large distance away from before .
With a black cloth in his hand, the man’s inner sight quickly expanded and locked onto the location .
He quickly ran up and sat down in front of a sand dune .
He formed a hand seal .
Hoh!
His spirit energy manifested as an intense gust of wind that blew the sand and gravel in front of him away .
The blue ice crystal appeared in front of him .
Inside the ice was a beautiful woman who was bloodied all over, her eyes barely opened, seemingly fallen into a coma .
The wounds on her body were terrifying, her aura was also weak that you could feel that she was barely hanging onto life .
If it weren’t for the power in the blue ice constantly maintaining her vitality, she would’ve already died right there .
