Chapter 474: The Final Ending

【Xiao Yan: This Heart God General’s reputation was so great—he even enslaved Gonggong, Fuxi, and others—and yet he died so quickly!】

【Pang Bo: Of course! I already said it—our group owner’s power is so terrifying; defeating that Heart God General was effortless!】

【Pang Bo: It’s a pity this one-sided battle was so boring. A balanced fight is far more exciting to watch!】

【Lu Qingshan: Actually, the Source Old Man’s power was still very strong!】

【Lu Qingshan: He lost to me so quickly only because his array wasn’t fully complete.】

Lu Qingshan spoke the truth.

In the original storyline, the three lotus petals of the black lotus formed by the Heart God General were presided over by Gonggong, Fuxi, and Mo Zhu Dao Zu; among them, Fuxi and Mo Zhu Dao Zu were leaders, while Gonggong was a top-tier Ancestral God—the array’s power would have been far greater;

Now, part of the Heart God General’s soul control had been broken by Lu Qingshan, so Gonggong and Fuxi were not fully dominated; thus, the Heart God General could only command two others to preside over the lotus petals, greatly weakening the Black Lotus Array.

In fact, in the Chaos, all three lotus petals of the Black Lotus Array should have been presided over by peak Ancestral Gods—that would truly be a power that shook the heavens.

Of course, even if the array had been complete, for Lu Qingshan, whose divine power had already been burned, it would have merely taken a little more time to overcome.

As Lu Qingshan chatted with the group members,

【Pang Bo: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, just how strong are you now?】

【Xiao Yan: Yes, group owner!】

【Lu Qingshan: What I just unleashed was already nearly my full power! At most, I could add a few treasures to enhance my movement and defense a bit more!】

As Lu Qingshan chatted with the group members…

On the other side, after witnessing the Heart God General being easily slain by Lu Qingshan, the void of the Three Realms fell silent once more.

Both the Nüwa faction and the Wujian Sect had many powerful figures controlled by the Heart God General.

Although the Three Realms’ inhabitants didn’t initially understand what had happened, there were powerful beings like Hou Yi who excelled in mental power, and Ji Ning, as in the original story, had inherited the legacy left behind by the Northern Rest World God and understood much about the Chaos.

So when they saw numerous great masters gathering around the Source Old Man, they quickly realized all of them had been controlled by him.

With so many great masters under the Source Old Man’s control, the warriors of both the Nüwa faction and the Wujian Sect were terrified—and filled with hatred toward him.

In fact, even if Lu Qingshan hadn’t acted against the Source Old Man, the warriors of the Wujian Sect and the Nüwa faction would never have let him live.

But now, this terrifying and cunning Heart God General, just like the previous Demon Lord, had been effortlessly slain by Lu Qingshan.

“Who exactly is this Lord of All Worlds?”

In the Wujian Sect’s camp, Feng Mo stared at Lu Qingshan in the arena, his mind full of confusion—he didn’t know Lu Qingshan’s true intentions.

He could accept the Demon Lord’s death, but the Source Old Man—or rather, the Heart God General—was also a Chaos outsider, and had even bowed before this Lord of All Worlds, yet was still killed without mercy.

With such terrifying power, even if all the warriors of the Three Realms combined, they couldn’t match him—then what was his purpose in acting now?

The question burning in Feng Mo’s mind was also the one no other warrior present could answer.

Even many warriors in the Nüwa faction had grown wary, fearing Lu Qingshan might turn on them next.

On the other side…

BOOM!

Gonggong from the Nüwa faction suddenly roared, his divine power surging violently as he charged toward Lu Qingshan, just like the other great masters previously controlled by the Heart God General.

Clearly, even with Lu Qingshan’s help, Gonggong had not broken free of the Heart God General’s control.

This time, the Heart God General hadn’t pretended to be utterly destroyed and ordered his controlled great masters to die immediately, precisely because Lu Qingshan had already uncovered his identity.

So instead, he ordered these great masters to keep attacking Lu Qingshan—even if they couldn’t harm him, they could drain his divine power.

“Gonggong?”

“Gonggong, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Gonggong suddenly attack Lu Qingshan, the Nüwa faction’s warriors were stunned.

Lu Qingshan had just slain the Demon Lord and the Source Old Man—if the Nüwa faction now provoked him, the outcome would surely be disastrous.

“Gonggong is dead!”

Hou Yi, the first to sense the anomaly, quickly turned toward Fuxi’s direction, alert and urgently saying: “Gonggong and Fuxi have also been controlled by the Heart God General—though their mental link to him has been temporarily severed for some reason!”

“If their minds were strong enough, they might have broken the link themselves—but Gonggong failed, so he remains controlled. Now we wait to see if Fuxi can awaken!”

On the other side, the Wujian Sect’s warriors rejoiced upon seeing Gonggong from the Nüwa faction attack Lu Qingshan.

They were already hopelessly outmatched by the Nüwa faction—but if the Nüwa faction now provoked the Lord of All Worlds, they might yet have a chance.

Only a few powerful beings, like the Demon Lord and Huan Mu’s master, noticed the difference in Gonggong’s behavior.

On the other side, seeing Gonggong still under the Heart God General’s control, Lu Qingshan felt no regret.

After all, Gonggong was an ancient deity with no connection to him or Beishan Baiwei.

His earlier attempt to sever Gonggong’s mental link to the Heart God General had been nothing more than a casual gesture.

Now that Gonggong had been re-controlled, there was nothing he could do.

Then…

SHIIII! SHIIII! SHIIII…

Lu Qingshan casually swung his sword, releasing a barrage of brilliant sword light.

These brilliant sword beams shot toward the great masters controlled by the Heart God General, swiftly slaying them one by one—even Gonggong, a top-tier Ancestral God, met no exception.

“This…”

“Too terrifying!”

“This Lord of All Worlds is utterly terrifying!”

After witnessing Lu Qingshan casually annihilate so many great masters, every warrior present was stunned once more.

Just moments ago, Gonggong’s power had far surpassed his previous state—among those present, only Feng Mo might have been slightly stronger than him.

Yet even such a powerful being had been slain with a single casual strike by Lu Qingshan.

That meant if Lu Qingshan wished to strike them, it would be as simple as killing Gonggong and the others.

At that moment, Fuxi, who had been frowning tightly, finally regained consciousness.

“Lord of All Worlds!”

Fuxi quickly turned toward Lu Qingshan and said with deep gratitude: “Thank you for freeing me from the Heart God General’s control!”

“Hahaha!”

Hearing Fuxi’s words, Lu Qingshan laughed: “Fuxi, you’re too polite!”

“You freed yourself from the Heart God General’s control not just because of my help, but mainly because your mind was strong enough—if it weren’t, you’d have been re-controlled like Gonggong!”

After hearing Lu Qingshan and Fuxi’s exchange, the Nüwa faction’s warriors grew even more confused.

Soon after, Sanqing, who had been maintaining the Nüwa’s Heaven-Mending Array, spoke up: “Fuxi, what exactly happened?”

“It was the Source Old Man!”

Fuxi quickly said: “His mental control technique was terrifying—I was unknowingly enslaved by him!”

“For days afterward, I relayed information to him without realizing it—even believed it was natural! Only when he tried to fully seize control of me did I sense something was wrong!”

“If not for the Lord of All Worlds’ help, my soul would have been completely erased by him!”

“So that’s how it was!”

Hearing Fuxi’s words, all present warriors were shocked.

Few among them were stronger than Fuxi.

If even Fuxi had been controlled, how could they possibly resist if the Source Old Man turned on them?

Fortunately, the Source Old Man was now dead, easing their fear slightly.

But now there was Lu Qingshan—far stronger than the Source Old Man. Though he had slain the Demon Lord and the Source Old Man and even saved Fuxi, he was still a Chaos outsider, and they could never fully trust him.

Yet since Lu Qingshan had shown no overt hostility toward the Three Realms, they wouldn’t strike first.

“Lord of All Worlds!”

Sui Ren Shi, one of the Three Sovereigns, stepped forward and said: “Thank you for saving Fuxi and slaying the Demon Lord and the Source Old Man—ending this great calamity for our Three Realms!”

“May we ask what your purpose is? If you need any assistance, the Nüwa faction will spare no effort!”

Hearing Sui Ren Shi’s words, the Nüwa faction’s warriors tensed up—even the Wujian Sect turned their gaze toward Lu Qingshan.

After all, Lu Qingshan’s actions were far too strange.

They had encountered countless Chaos outsiders before—nearly all sought to destroy the Three Realms, cause calamities, or seize opportunities.

But no one had ever helped them resolve a great calamity—like Lu Qingshan did.

“Don’t be so tense!”

Lu Qingshan looked at the Nüwa faction’s warriors and said calmly: “I acted against the Demon Lord and the Source Old Man only because someone asked me to.”

“As for who—that will become clear to you later.”

“Someone asked you to?”
