But like most beings, the Cosmic Emperor, even knowing the injury from the Universe Crusher wouldn’t kill him, still refused to confront it directly—because of his instinct to preserve himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as an ordinary person, knowing a light bump against a wall won’t kill him, still won’t bump into it, the Cosmic Emperor, knowing the chaos created by the Universe Crusher wouldn’t seriously harm him, still avoided colliding with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that this very mindset would allow the God of Wisdom to escape—leaving him with no recourse but regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Aio, you just ambushed me!” The God of Wisdom barely escaped from Aio’s giant hand and instinctively hurled a massive tear at the Cosmic Emperor, using the expansion force of the universe to keep pulling at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the God of Wisdom immediately hurl a massive tear at him the moment he emerged, the Cosmic Emperor roared in fury: “Damn bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him. Aio, kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the Cosmic Emperor charged forward, seemingly determined to prove he no longer feared chaos or the Universe Crusher—he rushed straight into the chaos, ignoring the strikes that battered his body and shredded a corner of his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Cosmic Emperor’s resolve, Aio naturally followed. As usual, he unleashed divine power to seal the space, and golden lotuses drifted down from the void, filling the entire emptiness in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have confidence?” Ye Nan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, the Cosmic Emperor was covered in wounds; his body had been blown apart, leaving only his head, which was itself battered and torn—cracks pulled across it, scars the size of houses carried away by chaos—all etched onto his skull. But because his head was so enormous, these injuries appeared negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But appearing negligible didn’t mean they didn’t exist. Ye Nan understood the principle: one wound leads to another, and adding injury upon injury only makes it worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the overwhelming strength the Cosmic Emperor had previously displayed forced him to remain cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s already spent,” the God of Wisdom declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spent?” Ye Nan murmured, his gaze hardening. “If they want to fight, we don’t need to keep running—we’ll fight them head-on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we even run anymore?” the God of Wisdom said bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding space was sealed; tearing through it wasn’t impossible—but they couldn’t do it now. In terms of spatial understanding, compared to Aio, they were mere children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan choked on his breath, then gave the God of Wisdom a look of disdain. “Can’t you at least boost your morale?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in this situation, does morale even matter? Even if our spirit is soaring, it won’t close the gap in combat power. And as for the desperate soldiers…” The God of Wisdom paused. “In this situation, is there any reason not to fight to the death?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Ye Nan and the God of Wisdom were resolute individuals, unaffected by morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s fight,” Ye Nan sighed, preparing for battle. He had originally intended to rally their spirits, but now he abandoned even that pretense—victory was the only truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the flowers of the River of the Underworld bloom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aio’s voice fell, the golden lotuses bloomed one by one, opening across the universe, forming a sea of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the flowers of the afterlife I brought back from my travels in the Primordial World, planted beside the River of the Underworld. Today, I’ll let you witness their power—this is a secret divine art even Bess, that wretched woman, never knew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are these lotuses really the flowers of the afterlife? And why are they golden?” Ye Nan asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory, the flowers of the afterlife weren’t this color, and they weren’t lotuses at all—the flowers Aio called “flowers of the afterlife” bore no resemblance to what he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows if they’re lotuses? Maybe they’re some mutated variant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you dare underestimate my flowers of the afterlife. But even if you do, it doesn’t matter—this is your final moment. Let the flowers of the afterlife bury you on the far shore of the River of the Underworld!” (To be continued.
