Chapter 393

The alarm sounded piercingly.

Scarlet light flickered and flowed.

Within a pale space where size and distance held no meaning, under the entanglement of countless invisible chains, the massive projection of the present world operated in silence.

But suddenly, a scarlet mark rose from the surging blue waves, rapidly occupying the primary observation window.

Amidst the sharp, high-pitched alarm, one after another, soul projections resembling pencil-drawn stick figures emerged, hurriedly coming online and gathering.

"The stability index of the vortex is showing abnormalities."

"This signal, is it a gathering of Great Sins?"

"Seed of the Flame Tide... What is the Observation Department doing? How could they not have detected such a prolonged reignition!"

"It was merely an abnormal heat source in the deep sea, plus the outer blockade. Do you know how many active submarine volcanic eruptions occur every day?

If we had to check every single heat source, the 'Eye' would have nothing else to do!"

"You might as well stop doing anything now. It's no different from being blind."

"Enough, stop arguing!"

An aged voice rang out, interrupting the discord between the two departments. "Cast out the 'lines' in the surrounding area; can you confirm the situation?"

"The situation is mostly clear. Although there are some discrepancies in the details, the specific ritual characteristics and core are exactly the same as the situation in Quancheng previously... It is definitely the Evil-Transforming Cult!"

The Evil-Transforming Cult?

The Evil-Transforming Cult has come back again?!

Under the flickering of the scarlet alarm, everyone fell silent. Even though the incarnations of their souls could not show expressions, they were certainly all looking worse than the next.

Who could have imagined that some people could leave behind such endless disaster even after they were dead...

It's quite possible that this was all planned by him from the very beginning!

The chaos in Quancheng of the past was merely a beginning. While he was secretly cultivating Quancheng, no one could have imagined that that guy's hand had already quietly reached beyond everyone's line of sight, burying such an astonishing foreshadowing.

At this moment, the sudden eruption left all observers terrified and indescribably shocked.

One wave had not yet subsided when another rose. After the first attempt failed, there followed a second attempt. Even though Lu Changsheng was dead and the Evil-Transforming Cult had seemingly fallen apart and completely disintegrated, they had actually reorganized into smaller units in secret and gathered again, having already caused such a massive event!

No, the more hair-raising part was precisely here.

Who knew what else was waiting behind this?

Moreover...

——Is Lu Changsheng really dead?

Although the same questions and doubts swirled in their hearts, no one was willing to speak them aloud; only in the suffocating silence, they broke out in a cold sweat.

They could not believe the reality before their eyes!

Snap!

Under the projection of the present world, that massive vortex formed by the gathering of darkness

was expanding once again. Even from the eye of the storm where dark clouds surged, tentacles extended, following the connection of resonance, and entangled themselves upon the present world.

Finally, it touched...

—————【Fulcrum】!

Boom!!!

The entire pale space shook violently, and the alarm sounded even more shrill and high-pitched.

In the present world within the projection, above that sea area where fierce light burst forth and storms raged, not a trace of daylight could be seen anymore.

There was only a patch of darkness that seemed substantial, suddenly opening up from above the firmament.

It resembled a strange, giant eye.

The darkness spread, just like ink dropped into water, spreading rapidly, yet no dilution or fading could be seen.

And in the deepest part of that dark eye, wisps of dreamlike, enchanting rainbow light gradually rose, strange and resplendent, like the eternal neon in the polar night sky of legend.

Within the pure darkness, a filthy color was conceived, currently eroding the human world.

With the increasingly piercing alarm, various values soared and changed. Within the charts, a curve surged into a peak at an incredible speed, crossing the limit!

Fast, too fast!

It was so fast that everyone was caught off guard, and the worst possible result had already been thrown into everyone's faces: "The anchoring is already complete!

The phases of the vortex and the present world have begun to overlap!"

The shadow of the vortex seeped into the present world, completing the infection and overlap with that sea area. If this continued, that sea area, along with the entire Rift Realm falling into the vortex, would be considered the best outcome!

It was quite possible that yet another Void Abyss would be opened up...

Furthermore, at this moment, around that projection covered by darkness, one black dot after another continued to emerge, draw near, gather, and even add fuel to the fire...

The moment they sensed the collapse occurring, the Sin-Bearing ones from all over the world swarmed in like flies!

Not to mention the notorious organizations like Rotten Wind, Blood Eye, and Wolf Nest that had already made arrangements in the surrounding sea areas, and who knew how many guys among the Qiandao who feared nothing but peace...

When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.

Every occurrence of a collapse was a blowout of the essence of Great Sins, a pollution of the present world. And for the Sin-Bearers, it was an unadulterated opportunity and grace.

It was just like sweet rain falling from the sky.

It's the New Year!!!

And what truly left everyone dumbfounded was the scene projected onto the firmament as the blockade above the Rift Realm gradually shattered, along with the massive flow of spiritual quality!

Solemn and dignified sacrificial temples, cities and ruins shrouded in the shadows of towers and the fires of burning palaces, and numerous life-and-death struggles and fights.

Amidst these waves of turbulence, in the very center of the Rift Realm, the crisp sound of jade ringing gradually grew louder!

Under the traction of the changes in the outside world, in the deepest part of the sacrificial temple, a dreamlike, brilliant flash suddenly lit up!

Just like that, in the sluggish gaze of everyone, a wisp of faint light rose

toward the sky, slowly unfolding. Finally, in that absolute darkness, it imprinted the glorious silhouette of the past.

It resembled the residual marks left behind by an ancient seal.

Fleeting.

Yet it was enough for people to distinguish the handwriting upon it...

—————【Eternal Mandate, Everlasting for Ten Thousand Generations】!

In that instant, amidst the sudden suffocation, all the observers were suddenly stunned.

Following that, in the open and in the dark, the Empire, the Federation, the Qiandao, the Central Plains...

Everyone who understood the meaning of this could no longer restrain themselves and suddenly stood up.

And then...

Completely insane!!!

"The Imperial Seal! The Imperial Seal!!"

In the ruins outside the sacrificial temple, the sluggish Lord Wuyou had not yet recovered from the shock, his gaze already fixed firmly upon that wisp of flashing light.

His eyes were completely scarlet, as if burning with fire.

It was not just him; the moment they sensed that wisp of faint light, Changle, Anguo, the numerous Sin-Bearers who had barged into the Rift Realm, and even the lurkers circling outside the Rift Realm could no longer restrain their shock and lost their voices.

The absolute authority left behind by the former Eternal Empire, the control and hub of the Tower of Tian Tian Yuan, connecting the core of the current Supreme Good and Great Sins!

"Changle!"

Among the numerous warships above the firmament, the incarnation descended by Duke Anguo appeared once again, his voice hoarse: "The Imperial Authority and Heavenly Constitution must not be lost!

You and I are both remnants of the Empire. Regardless of who wins or loses, the victor will ultimately have hope of reviving the Empire. But if you and I fight now, are we just going to let the rats reap the benefits?"

Changle's puppet eyes were scarlet as he looked at Anguo. The two of them reached out without a second thought and slapped their palms together.

The distorted Laws of Tian Tian Yuan instantly entangled with each other, setting down restrictions.

Join forces!

There would be more and more mad dogs coming from the outside, and there were guys like the Sower with ulterior motives watching from the sidelines. If they continued to fight like dogs, they would only be treated as a joke for others to watch while eating...

The current strategy was, regardless of who ended up with it, to unite first and face the outside world together!

The first to bear the brunt, the ones to be excluded first, were the troublemakers sent by that guy, the Sower...

The eyes of the two instantly looked toward Xie He.

Killing intent burst forth.

The black sails of the warships filling the sky surged, connecting into one entity, and a massive silhouette condensed from darkness appeared out of thin air. A giant hand, carrying infinite wind and thunder, slammed down ferociously!

In the distance, Xie He, who was running wildly, felt his soul flee in terror. While dodging in a sorry state, he roared: "Duke Changle, Duke Anguo, why do you lightly believe the instigation of others? Xie He reverently follows the Saint's orders precisely to assist the two of you in achieving your great cause..."

"Forget it."

Changle glanced at him, unmoved: "I truly cannot bear the good intentions of the Sower. Even that idiot Wuyou knew

to guard against you guys.

If you really want to contribute to the great cause, you might as well sacrifice yourself here. When the Empire is rebuilt one day, I might even consider posthumously conferring some meager honors upon you."

The puppet doll remained indifferent, the palm behind it suddenly clenching.

The hidden hand left behind when he had previously relieved the restraint of Lord Wuyou instantly erupted.

Xie He's movements stalled, and blades pierced out from within his body. In an instant, he was sliced into a thousand pieces. And above the firmament, the full-force strike launched by Duke Anguo using the fleet slammed down without hesitation!

Boom!!!

Behind the rift in the Wall of Death, a deep fissure instantly appeared on the massive plaza, with earth fire gushing and heavenly thunder intersecting.

Amidst the shrill screams, Xie He vanished into ashes.

But immediately after, countless ashes actually contracted inward once again, surrounding a strange seed of flesh and blood, gathering into shape!

"I, I am still alive... Hahaha, hahahahaha, hahaha!!"

Xie He danced with joy, almost weeping with happiness. It was not because he was glad to have survived, but because he felt the power surging endlessly within his body: "This is the divine power of the Saint. The Saint, the Saint... The Saint has not abandoned me!"

At this moment, broken bandages stretched out like chains.

Revealing the strange, distorted, and rotting flesh beneath, half-man and half-wolf, with blood-stained hair extending, unfolding, and glowing with layers of emerald radiance.

That face, resembling both man and beast, lifted once again, baring its teeth and spitting out a strange breath.

Opening its mouth, it roared.

The power of the Seed of Plague erupted suddenly, whipping up a sky-covering, miserable green storm. Wherever it passed, all creations seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and under the ruthless erosion of time, they vanished into ashes.

Accompanying his movements, within the city of the sacrificial temple, roars erupted continuously.

The hidden hands he had buried in the dark along the way were completely detonated, with massive amounts of wolf blood sprouting, rising one after another, and spreading virulent poison.

The virulent poison permeated, sweeping through the entire Rift Realm.

Warships raised their altitude in vigilance, attempting to dodge, but the people on the decks dissolved silently one by one, their flesh turning into pus, and even their withered bones became new sources of infection.

Even without any action, just by glancing from afar, Changle's face showed traces of blue-black, with sores growing out and emitting a foul stench.

The shadow of the tower shook violently, dispelling the vast majority of the wolf blood erosion. The Laws of Tian Tian Yuan within the sacrificial temple entangled toward Xie He like maggots on a bone, but a layer of dim light appeared on his body. Under the blessing bestowed by the Saint, he excluded all suppression from Tian Tian Yuan, no longer bound.

The sound of shattering rang out continuously, and the scarlet storm, like a flood, barged in from outside the Rift Realm, spreading wantonly. Countless locusts spread out in the Rift Realm without rhyme or reason, penetrating everywhere.

Hysterical laughter rang out.

"Rotten Scale, don't panic, I'm here to help you!"

Amidst the wild laughter, the locusts filling the sky suddenly gathered, turning into a strange silhouette over several meters tall, clad in armor, with six eyes on its head, its whole body resembling

blood-stained.

A Transcendent Rank Berserker Sin-Bearer!

Relying on the advantage of distance, he had been the first to barge into the Rift Realm. After lurking for a long time, he suddenly erupted.

At this moment, he suddenly pulled out a white bone spear and threw it toward Changle, forcing back the numerous Sin-Bearers under his command.

Boom!!!

The shadow of the warships above the firmament reappeared, looking down in fury, with thunder and fire descending continuously: "Su Jianuo, you dog, how dare you covet the Imperial Authority?"

"Screw your Imperial Authority! A broken stone, if I want it, that's its honor!"

Su Jianuo spat and mocked with a grin: "Only you guys, the remnants, still treat it like a treasure... Don't panic, once it's in my hands, I will definitely treat it well.

By then, old dog, if you stick your butt up and let me enjoy it once, I'll lick it for you, how about that?"

"Die!"

The incarnation formed by the warships instantly went berserk, and rays of fierce light resembling giant stars rose, splashing downward following Anguo's suppression.

Changle's expression was gloomy. After changing into a brand-new carrier, he led his subordinates behind him and killed Xie He ferociously.

Outside the Rift Realm, one figure after another jumped in regardless of their lives, staring at the countless relics left behind by the Eternal Empire before their eyes, jumping with joy, no longer having any scruples.

"It really is the Eternal Empire!"

"The Imperial Seal!"

"Such a large Heavenly Crystal, it was actually carved into a stone tablet!"

The strong lurked, watching the changes within the sacrificial temple, while the weak were unwilling to return empty-handed and began to bend down, frantically looting things within reach, and even started fighting with other intruders for the harvest.

It was just like a high-spirited and enthusiastic feast.

A cruel and surging carnival!

Amidst the violent destruction and shaking, the shadow of the tower flickered violently, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

Everything was gradually shrouded in spreading flames, heading toward collapse.

But for some reason, there was no longer the previous ferocity and cruel shackles, and no one noticed all these abnormalities.

Even those residual shadows seemed to have frozen, standing still in place.

Wailing in vain, worshipping piously, wandering in hesitation...

Only wisps of viscous blood continued to fall, scattering upon the earth, winding and flowing. Broken corpses fell into the flames, burning into ashes.

Death, death, death, death...

Death was happening and spreading every moment, and no one could escape, yet there were still more people jumping in regardless of their lives.

Those souls wailed and fell into the darkness, along with the blood and bones.

The ritual was still continuing.

Under the cold gaze of Ji Jue looking down...

The sacrifice had already begun!

On the sea outside the Rift Realm, darkness raged. One strange shadow after another whistled in from all directions, merging into this spreading infection of Great Sins, circling and gathering, scrambling to throw themselves into the Rift Realm.

But there were others who, because they were too strong, simply couldn't squeeze in.

Or perhaps, they were hesitant, unwilling to take risks, lingering in the surroundings, lurking in the dark.

Under the gathering of massive Sin-Infection, the pitch-black eye above the firmament had already expanded to the limit, and the strange phantom light conceived within it had become increasingly surging and violent.

The vortex was approaching!

The downpour became increasingly surging, the waves towered, the gale whistled, and amidst the thunder and lightning, the entire sea area seemed to have fallen into the apocalypse.

But in reality, it was no different from the apocalypse.

The anchoring was already complete!

The area within a thousand miles radiated by the Rift Realm could fall off from the present world at any moment, falling into that chaotic abyss...

At this moment, far away, in a dim space, the projections of five seats were rapidly lighting up, appearing, and reuniting.

"What kind of broken business is it again? I'm still in surgery!" the doctor from Hope Hospital asked angrily, blood still staining his mask, "Day in and day out, those guys won't stop, right?!"

"The 'Eye' of the Sealing Committee has confirmed the situation, and the Locksmith has made a judgment: a present-world-level hidden danger and crisis." The old man from Eternal Bank reported the situation concisely: "This may threaten the status of the 【Pillar】, and T5 must respond."

"Day in and day out, when we're useful, we're T5; when we're useless, we're like five dogs... Oh, President, I'm not talking about you."

The middle-aged man from Boundless Communication sneered: "Thinking of us tools now? Too late!"

"Woof?"

The gray-covered President squatted in his seat, tilting his head, appearing to understand yet not.

Still fluffy.

It was just that, as if he had been digging in a trash heap for years, much of his fur was stained with machine oil and dust, and there were traces of smoke and fire everywhere.

However, only the brand-new bell on his chest shone brightly, spotless, and was carefully protected.

Proudly puffing out his chest.

As if showing off, he shook it twice.

Unfortunately, the bell sound could not alleviate the serious atmosphere in the venue.

Nor could it trick anyone into petting him.

Everyone ignored the President, and the President was very sad.

Ears drooping.

"The situation is very serious. Those dogs of the Evil-Transforming Cult... cough cough, those guys, have already reached their hands toward the fulcrum of the present world."

"What about the exclusion of the lock?"

The middle-aged man from Boundless Communication frowned: "Can't it be interrupted? Can't we forcibly separate the present world and the vortex?"

"That is the most troublesome part."

The representatives of Cosmic Heavy Industry and Great Creation sighed: "In the sequence of the lock,

the importance of the fulcrum is second only to the pillar, and it is even above the chain and the wedge. How could it be possible to shake the fulcrum in reverse through the chain?

Not to mention that it involves the sacrificial temple of the Eternal Empire, and it is a fulcrum hidden so deeply. Who knows what kind of ghost town the interior has become."

It was just like the bad news of terminal cancer.

When the abnormality of a certain part can be clearly detected by instruments, it is often already terminally ill, deep into the bone marrow.

At this time, what one should think about is how to cut off the arm to save the body, excise the disease, and avoid accumulating the whole.

The duty of T5 is to maintain the stability of the Pillars of the Present World————the Copy, the Corridor, the Life Flow, the Spirit River, the Heavenly Track... The five must absolutely not suffer any losses.

You must know that the loss of one city or one place is not enough to hurt the whole, but the shaking of any one of the five pillars is enough to cause irreparable trauma and harm to the present world, and even lead to a total collapse!

One Shadow Sun Disaster is enough; the present world cannot withstand another impact of the same scale.

For a time, everyone's expression turned gloomy.

"I have a question..."

The doctor from Hope Hospital raised his hand: "【Life Flow】 is useless in this situation, right? 【Spirit River】 too, and 【Copy】 can only be used for reconstruction.

Wouldn't it be better if you directly activated 【Corridor】?"

"There are already too many 'doors' in the 【Corridor】."

The old man from Eternal Bank shook his head: "Even if we want to throw things behind the door, we must confirm the situation first. Otherwise, if a door is opened, it may trigger a chain reaction of collapse. We must ensure the

absolute stability of the Corridor."

In the brief silence, everyone's expression became increasingly heavy.

"The current strategy is to rely on the Heavenly Track."

The old man sighed, knowing full well how excessive his request was, but he still had to speak it out, looking at the President: "Can the status of the Heavenly Track still hold up?"

"Woof?"

The President was blank, increasingly confused.

Hard to understand.

Heavenly Track?

Why ask about the Heavenly Track?

The Heavenly Track is fine!

And the present world is also very stable, without any hidden danger of falling off. Why does everyone think the Heavenly Track is about to have a problem?

The President's claws lifted, laboriously scratching at the panel that only he could see, full of confusion.

Although the overlap is very close and it looks very dangerous, it is only just looking like that. In the target area, there is absolutely no situation of detaching from the present world at all...

Why is everyone so worried?

Could it be that humans are caring about the President?

And when he saw the coordinate signal of Ji Jue in the Rift Realm, his eyes instantly lit up, and he wagged his tail excitedly.

Understood!

Although he didn't understand very well, it must be the credit of a good employee!

Employee! Good!

President, likes! Likes! Likes!

Just like that, facing everyone's worried gazes, he proudly puffed out his chest.

"No problem, leave it to, President!"

His claws tapped the voice button, happily sticking out his tongue: "President, will, protect, everyone! Heavenly Track, stable, definitely.

However, funds, none, bad..."

He hesitated for a moment, restraining the guilt in his heart, and finally, made up his mind:

"————Me, Heavenly Track, pay money!"
