Chapter 1005: Fusion, a Dead End!

Swish!

Jilie's physical body began to soften and flow, turning into warm, cool liquid that spread along Chen Yan's arms, slowly enveloping his torso.

In this instant, it was as if two forces that had repelled each other since ancient times were tearing at each other while merging.

It was not devouring, nor was it submission, but rather, on the boundary of chaos, a flower on the verge of annihilation was blooming.

This was the third possibility Chen Yan had chosen.

Fusion.

Just as Jilie had done before.

The power of an Ancient God's status lies in the ability to continuously devour other Martial Dao rules.

To Jilie, Chen Yan himself far surpassed all the Martial Dao accumulations of the human race over ten thousand years.

Jilie was unwilling to give up this monstrous feast that was Chen Yan.

Chen Yan could feel an inexplicable madness and evil entering his body, about to occupy his everything and devour his past and future.

"Let it end like this..."

Chen Yan murmured, and Jilie's figure had already vanished.

And he sat cross-legged on the tree trunk once more, beginning to cultivate.

From the outside, one might not be able to see anything.

But within Chen Yan's body, earth-shattering changes were occurring every single moment.

The only reason his consciousness had not vanished.

Was simply because the Unity Martial Dao he intended to create had not been completely finished.

The moment the Unity Martial Dao was completed would be the moment Chen Yan died.

At this moment, a silent mockery seemed to ring out within Chen Yan's heart.

The Mother God arrived.

She did not even say a single word.

She, high above, toyed with the human world.

She, perhaps a member of the ancient human race, perhaps having walked from the very beginning of the world.

Or perhaps, a natural crop of evil.

She, representing the power above all things, representing the source of all fear.

All the resistance and all the struggles of the human race over ten thousand years were like children's games before her.

She is transcendent of dimensions.

Even the Xia Lord could only die amidst endless panic and fear.

Before dying, he felt the true coldness and fear from the world.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to the outside world.

Countless terrifying visions began to appear in his mind, and his soul began to gradually fall into an bottomless abyss.

Just like Jilie's game.

Chen Yan had become a plaything in the other's palm.

Chen Yan's expression was calm.

Jilie could not influence him.

After experiencing the three self-inquiries, Chen Yan's Dao heart had been thoroughly consolidated and would no longer be influenced.

But he could feel it.

Jilie's gaze had already turned toward the entire human world.

Time passed slowly.

After people experienced the terrifying day of stars turning into eyes and the great sun bleeding.

The fourth day arrived tardily.

Alienation arrived!

On this day.

Ancient trees that had been silent for years began to twist, under the terrified gazes of the people.

Their gnarled roots turned into centipede-like tentacles, and dense compound eyes opened in the cracks of their bark.

Leaves fell with a rustle, replaced by wriggling mouthparts, emitting a creaking chewing sound.

Plant after plant began to alienate.

Beginning to develop in an unknowable direction.

There were Eighth-Rank powerhouses looking at this scene in sheer horror.

Even an Eighth-Rank could not discern what was happening to the world at this moment.

Panic and roars began to appear in the human world.

Those alienated plants began to attack the human race like madmen, devouring the human race.

Across the entire earth, countless strange and massive creatures appeared out of thin air.

The human race could not explain the occurrence of this scene.

Even the surviving biochemical Martial Dao researchers of Lu Province could not explain why this scene was happening.

Even the top scientists of Yu Province could not use scientific terminology to understand this scene.

It was as if.

"All the theories we know are disappearing, and all the science we have mastered is being phased out."

Someone held their head, speaking with blood weeping from their eyes:

"It is as if we have always existed in an erroneous environment.

Now is the beginning of reality replacing the error."

Someone spread their arms wide, laughing maniacally at the blood-red sun weeping in the firmament:

"I am an error, we are errors, the human race is entirely an error!"

Boom!

Their physical body instantly exploded, splattering into chunks of tumorous flesh.

People looked in horror at the blood and tumorous flesh covering the ground, falling into immense panic.

A Creation Realm powerhouse murmured as if their soul were deranged:

"To that existence, the survival or extinction of our entire human race is something that can be decided with a mere wave of Their hand."

They were completely bewildered, looking toward the alley entrance.

Yet they saw.

The stray dog at the alley entrance had its fur falling out, its skin and flesh festering and oozing pus at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Where the black pus dripped, mushroom-like tumors sprouted; the tumors split open, revealing spiral-shaped rings of teeth.

A sound neither canine nor beastly issued from its throat, its limbs twisted into vine-like forms, and it dragged its bleeding, mangled body, crawling slowly in a certain direction.

People watched this mutated dog in terror, fleeing for their lives.

From this moment on.

Animals also began to mutate.

Within the entire human race.

The air was permeated with the foul stench of humus and blood.

The boundaries of all things were completely torn apart, leaving only insane, unnatural distortion.

Before the human martial artists could recover their senses, they had to suppress these mutated, grotesque creatures.

Shen Yiwu stood in the high heavens, looking at this scene in shock.

A group of Great Xia high-level officials were bewildered.

A look of fear also emerged in the depths of their eyes.

Compared to the desperate scene now, the methods of Lord Chen seemed gentle.

"So many people have committed suicide."

Jiang Yuan sighed aloud:

"It is already impossible to calculate."

Chen Min clenched his fists, yet a sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart.

At this moment.

He suddenly discovered that the martial arts he had studied his whole life had no place to be used.

This was...

The indifferent crushing and subversion of one low-level rule by a supreme rule.

Above the earth.

Someone dressed in white shouted with a look of obsession in their eyes:

"Look, this is the method of a god.

The god is blessing us, the malice is blessing us.

Now that the malice has disappeared and the world has returned to its original state, this is simply not a world we can endure!"

They roared maniacally:

"It's all Chen Yan's fault, all the Lord of Will's fault, all the Great Xia Heavenly God General's fault!

If not for him, the real world would not have arrived, it's all his fault!"

People stared fixedly at that person.

Someone with anger in their eyes grabbed a long staff and rushed toward that person:

"How dare you insult the Heavenly God General, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Yet, just as the person holding the staff raised it, preparing to strike.

Pop, pop, pop, pop!

Cracks suddenly appeared on the body of the man in white.

Under the terrified gaze of everyone, his physical body began to swell, and eyeballs sprouted from the cracks in his flesh, crowding and stacking!

"Hahahaha!"

The man in white laughed aloud:

"I have attained... I have attained sublimation!"

But the next moment.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

He suddenly began to scream, as if he had seen some horror he should not have seen, struggling and wailing like a pig about to be slaughtered.

"No!

Don't, ahhhhhhh!!!"

With a boom.

His physical body suddenly shattered and exploded.

The splattering blood and eyeballs flew in all directions; the anger in people's eyes vanished, leaving only the final terror.

Just at this moment.

People understood a truth.

A truth more chilling than despair itself.

That evil existence does not care whether you resist or remain loyal.

Because, it is meaningless.

Upon the chaotic earth.

A man and a woman wearing cloaks walked through streets filled with roars and wails.

Ji Ling looked at the scenes unfolding all around, her eyes vacant.

"This... what kind of method is this..."

A sense of despair and powerlessness welled up from the bottom of Ji Ling's heart.

The next moment, however, a hint of a smile gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth:

"This is the world you wanted to pursue, Chen Yan; you have won."

A morbid look appeared in Ji Ling's eyes.

If not for the Great Xia insisting on not surrendering, if not for Chen Yan insisting on fighting to the death.

Would the human race have fallen to this state?

"I was never wrong, I was never wrong!"

Ji Ling's voice was extremely low.

"The ones who are wrong are you, you who have always opposed Chen Yuan!"

Zhao Zhugui's expression was calm as he walked into a restaurant.

There were no customers in the shop, but the owner heard the footsteps and ran over.

"Two bowls of fried noodles."

Zhao Zhugui spoke.

"Alright."

The owner nodded and went into the back kitchen to instruct the chef to cook.

Ji Ling was stunned.

Outside the shop, the roars of people continued to ring out.

This shop was actually still operating normally.

Before long.

The owner arrived carrying two bowls of fried noodles.

Sensing the fragrance wafting from the bowls, Ji Ling was speechless for a moment.

She raised her head and looked at the bronze statue of the Heavenly God General placed on the restaurant counter, a coldness appearing at the corners of her mouth:

"It is Chen Yan who caused the current situation of the human race, yet you still worship him."

Ji Ling glanced at Zhao Zhugui and found that Zhao Zhugui had already begun to eat his noodles.

The owner looked at Ji Ling and said calmly:

"Was the human world ever good in the past?"

Ji Ling was taken aback, only to hear the owner say in a hoarse voice:

"My child died at the hands of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, and my wife died because she was infected by malice.

The human world has never been good.

I have seen the Ancient Divine Beasts ravage the Qi Continent, and I have seen the Ji Continent swallowed; you are truly making a fuss over nothing."

The owner sneered and left.

Ji Ling froze and looked at Zhao Zhugui, who was eating his noodles.

"The human race has never truly been at peace."

Zhao Zhugui's voice was indifferent:

"It is just that my human race is the human race, while your human race is only the Ji Continent."

Ji Ling gritted her teeth; the mere mention of the two words "Ji Continent" by Zhao Zhugui made her suddenly feel incomparably cold and desolate.

"Ji Chen harmed me; if I had informed Chen Yuan of the future of the Three Saints Slaughtering the Demon.

None of this would have happened!"

Ji Ling said in a low voice.

Zhao Zhugui did not refute Ji Ling.

In fact, the Three Saints Slaughtering the Demon would have happened regardless.

The only difference would be who the demon actually was.

The human race needs to find the only path to survival from among billions of possibilities.

It could also be said that it is the one future that might possibly become the path to survival.

Yet, just as Zhao Zhugui was eating his noodles.

Someone outside suddenly shouted aloud:

"Where is Chen Yan, where is the Lord of Will?

Isn't your Great Xia's Chen Yan very strong? Why won't he come out now!

And where are the various supreme experts of your Great Xia?"

Someone had fallen into madness, roaring hysterically.

It was one of the people from the Five Clans who had been relocated here.

All around, individual Great Xia living beings looked at that person with extreme anger.

That person, however, was still shouting at the top of their lungs:

"If it weren't for you Great Xia, how would the human race have ended up like this?

Lord Chen is wise and sagely, yet he cannot put an end to your Great Xia's delusional fantasies!"

He laughed wildly, compared to the fear brought by the Ancient Gods.

He was naturally not afraid of Chen Yan.

"If you have the ability, then kill me, kill me!"

He roared arrogantly, glaring at everyone in the surroundings.

Yet, at this very moment.

Suddenly, a living being let out a shocked cry.

"Look, what is that?"

He pointed toward the horizon.

In an instant, one sound of horror after another rang out.
