Chapter 1292: Old Man Won

At this moment, in the Fourth Star Ring, countless universes, all beings and even all deities, their souls trembled in unison.

With the arrival of the Aurora Young Master at the Primordial Mother Star, only one day has passed so far.

Yet in this single day, the events that unfolded were too astonishing—like a storm of unprecedented force, surging across the entire Fourth Star Ring.

Temples collapsed one after another, deities withered, divine nations turned to ruins, and even divine dynasties were swept away by the violent onslaught.

This has already shaken the very foundation of the Fourth Star Ring!

Moreover, within the divine Dao of the Fourth Star Ring, the true name of the Aurora Young Master has been eternally inscribed, drawing in the fortune of the Fifth Star Ring—this, on top of the foundation being shaken, has caused another collapse.

One can imagine that from now on, the divine Dao of the Fourth Star Ring will no longer be pure; the resurrection of deities will be interfered with, and even more terrifyingly, within the Fourth Star Ring…… the aura of immortals shall appear!

The space for survival is being compressed from both inside and outside.

And there is still a crucial point……

That is…… the abandonment and final departure of the God Sovereign from the Fourth Star Ring!

He abandoned all deities within the Fourth Star Ring, using them to substitute for his own tribulation, thus eliminating future troubles, and then chose to enter the Divine Umbilical Cord.

The impact of this action on the gods of the Fourth Star Ring is immensely great.

Thus, lamentations arose, transmitted from the divine Dao, echoing in the souls of the remaining gods of the Fourth Star Ring.

They lingered for a long time without dispersing.

In contrast, the Fifth Star Ring……

Amid the surging of fortune, as the Aurora Young Master ascended and returned, and as the Fourth Star Ring was invaded, with one gaining and the other losing, all beings and things in the Fifth Star Ring were nourished in return!

The scope of its influence is even greater, and its fortune even denser.

And cheers filled the entire ring.

Indeed, this war between the two great star rings, after experiencing this, has already reached ninety percent completion, bringing the war to its end.

And the victory…… is immeasurably great!

From now on, whether in absolute strength or in the hierarchy of star rings, the Fourth Star Ring will be unable to reverse its fate—only the destiny of being devoured remains for it.

And their time has become a countdown!

Because the decree of the Immortal Sovereign's full occupation has, at this moment, spread throughout the star ring.

All Immortal Lords who have entered the Fourth Star Ring, holding nothing back, have unleashed their full power to battle the Divine Lords.

At the same time, countless colossal teleportation gates, in this instant, descended from nowhere at multiple locations in the Fourth Star Ring through the Immortal Sovereign's action.

Vast armies of cultivators flashed forth from within.

Charging into the Fourth Star Ring!

A nearly one-sided war erupted completely on the native soil of the Fourth Star Ring.

These scenes, at this moment, the Aurora Young Master, standing in mid-air above the Primordial Mother Star, could clearly perceive and knew the situation was settled; thus, he raised his right hand and plunged it deep into his own chest.

He seized the divine artifact that had severed all causality and yanked it out fiercely.

Silver blood spilled forth as the divine artifact…… was completely extracted by the Aurora Young Master.

Holding it in his hand, the heavens and earth trembled, and the intent of fate upon this artifact was exceedingly clear.

Perceiving this object, the Aurora Young Master felt no attachment.

He knew this causality was something he could not bear.

According to the Immortal Sovereign's words, perhaps only two people in this world…… can bear this causality.

One of them is Xu Qing.

The other, according to the Immortal Sovereign's plan, should have arrived here during my own ascension process, but for some unknown reason, has never appeared.

"Well then……"

Thus, the Aurora Young Master lowered his gaze, looking toward Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, this artifact brings you both benefit and harm!"

"Its origin, you should already know, so before that existence truly fell, in the entire Upper Star Ring, almost no god or person dared to truly possess it."

"But no matter what, this is a supreme treasure!"

"So whether to take it or not, you may decide for yourself—this is also the second gift I prepared for you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing lowered his gaze to the divine artifact in the Aurora Young Master's hand, feeling the intense connection between it and himself.

To be precise, this connection arises between it and my divine body.

Thus, he hesitated not, and nodded.

The Aurora Young Master watched Xu Qing's eyes, and with a flick of his right hand, the divine artifact in his hand transformed into a seven-colored light, shooting straight toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing caught it with both hands; the moment he held it, his mind and spirit shuddered, and he perceived the fluctuations upon the artifact more clearly and intensely.

He also sensed within this artifact an unparalleled terrifying power.

It was as if…… he held multiple star rings in his grasp.

"This divine artifact, I left it in my divine body on the Eastern Wanggu Continent, and it should be able to contain……

Xu Qing took a deep breath, properly stored the divine artifact, then looked toward the four directions, knowing that the affairs here had come to an end.

"So now, do you wish to remain in the Fourth Star Ring to join the full-scale war, or follow me? Or perhaps you have a place you wish to go? I can send you there."

In mid-air, the Aurora Young Master spoke gently.

"I wish to return for a visit to the Left Wing War Zone of the Fifth Star Ring."

Xu Qing pondered, then spoke of the place he wished to go.

He had not forgotten the Immortal Ascension Pill promised by Immortal Lord Zhan Lu at that time.

Although he has now reached the peak of False Immortal, lacking only insight into the Constitutional Laws, that Immortal Ascension Pill…… Xu Qing also has great use for it.

He intends to bring it back to give to Immortal Zixuan.

Upon hearing this, the Aurora Young Master raised his hand and waved; instantly, in the void's ripples, fortune converged, forming a vortex.

"Then, we shall meet at the Fifth Star Ring."

The Aurora Young Master smiled.

Xu Qing nodded, bowed to the Spirit Phoenix Fairy beside him, then looked toward the four directions, his heart rising with endless emotion.

One scene after another flashed in his mind, and finally all the waves were suppressed by him, leaving only his obsession with ascending to Xia Xian; then his body trembled, and he rushed straight into the vortex.

In an instant, he drew near, entered it, and vanished without a trace.

He had left the primordial mother star.

And after his figure disappeared, the Aurora Young Master in midair looked toward the Spirit Phoenix.

His smile grew even gentler, and he spoke softly.

"I have made you worry..."

The Spirit Phoenix Fairy's eye sockets reddened slightly; she walked into midair and came to the Aurora Young Master's side.

"Go finish the last thing; after that, we can settle down."

The Aurora Young Master gave a slight smile, took the Spirit Phoenix Fairy's hand, turned around, and walked with her toward the void.

……

At the same time, within the Fourth Star Ring, the secret realm of heaven and earth that Xu Qing had once visited...

This secret realm has now collapsed.

The Aurora Young Master's ascension and change of path have affected the entire Fourth Star Ring; this place is no exception.

It had long since shattered.

Thus, the firmament bears a great rift; viewed as a whole, it is utterly ruined.

As for the land above, there lie two corpses.

One is precisely the black flesh ball, now rotten and turned into filth.

The other, humanoid in form, is precisely that earth deity.

It is not rotting, but rather like sublimation, continuously dissipating, as if undergoing some kind of purification.

And during this purification and dissipation, a figure struggles and crawls out from within, cursing.

"I was halfway through eating, and now I'm dissipating!"

"Good thing I'm formidable—I unleashed the Heaven-Swallowing, Earth-Devouring, Ancient-Reverse, Supergod Technique with everything I had, and finally, before dissipating, I ate my fill."

"Heh heh, during this time, a teleportation array suddenly appeared beside me, constantly flashing, emitting tempting vibes, trying to lure me in."

"At a glance, it's clear this one can't struggle and doesn't want me to keep eating, so it's using another method to confuse me!"

"What kind of person am I, Chen Erniu? Old me won't be fooled!"

This person's clothes are disheveled, his expression wretched.

It is Chen Erniu.

But compared to his wretched state, his belly is swollen considerably, as if he had eaten a lot.

Having fully crawled out now, he looks around, his gaze following the rift toward the outside world, senses it, and is stunned.

Then he draws a sharp breath, his expression filled with astonishment and doubt.

"What's going on out there? The aura is in utter chaos—what happened?"

"It seems like war is breaking out..."

"What's going on... I went out, I came out late, didn't I? Why do I feel like I missed something big."

Chen Erniu muttered, then suddenly his eyes flashed with light, he slapped his thigh, and became invigorated.

"If this damned place really has war, that's great—war breaks out, deities must fall, so maybe this time my luck has reversed heaven, and I can eat my fill?"

Chen Erniu licked his lips, excited.
