Chapter 1197

Oh, Supreme Deity.

That is the being standing at the absolute peak within the Infinite Void.

Supreme Deities and True Deities are already beings of two entirely different planes!

Just as True Deities are to all beings beneath them.

To be precise,

the Infinite Void contains only three tiers of beings.

The first tier is mortals and demi-gods.

The second tier is True Deities.

The third tier is Supreme Deities!

Every single Supreme Deity is the most astonishingly brilliant being to emerge over thousands or even tens of thousands of ages!

"The aura of the Earth element."

"A Supreme Deity of the Earth element has perished."

Ahead.

The male phantom's expression remained unchanged; he simply spoke softly.

In his eyes,

the death of a Supreme Deity meant nothing at all.

After all—

the Supreme Deities who had died in his hands

exceeded ten!

"With the death of a Supreme Deity, this age's Great Cataclysm of the Supreme Deity's Twilight has officially entered its initial phase."

He looked at Li Yue and spoke with deep meaning.

"Has the Twilight of the Gods begun?"

Li Yue froze.

Could the death of a Supreme Deity affect the progression of the Twilight of the Gods?

"Supreme Deities are the protagonists of heaven and earth—they are the embodiment of the Infinite Void. Their deaths naturally accelerate the arrival of the Twilight of the Gods."

The man spoke.

"What exactly is the Twilight of the Gods?"

Li Yue, with a solemn face, asked in confusion.

"The Twilight of the Gods—"

"It is a great calamity of heaven and earth. What exactly one faces varies with each Twilight of the Gods."

"Even the Supreme Deity who governs fate likely does not know how this age's Twilight of the Gods will unfold."

The man shook his head and sighed.

He paused.

He looked at Li Yue and waved his hand gently; before them appeared a vision.

It was a solitary grave.

The grave drifted within the Infinite Void.

No beginning.

No end.

Like a lone traveler, subject to the pull of the Void's gravity.

Before the grave stood an ancient tombstone.

The inscriptions on the tombstone had faded.

And before the tombstone lay a withered flower, speaking of desolation.

It looked like nothing more than an ordinary solitary grave.

But an ordinary grave—

how could it drift through the Infinite Void?

"This is my wife."

"She waited for me among the mortal realm, but I left to pursue ultimate strength."

"When I returned, she had become this solitary grave, with only the wildflower I once gave her as her companion."

"I was heartbroken."

"Yet even with my boundless divine power, I could not open the Wheel of Rebirth to revive her."

"I only hope—when the day comes that you can open the Wheel of Rebirth, you will help me revive her."

The man gazed at the image of the solitary grave, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance, whispering softly.

I truly miss…

…seeing you once more…

Li Yue fell silent, then nodded solemnly:

"When that day comes, I will surely help you revive her."

He had never imagined.

That this being, whose power towered over all,

could be so deeply sentimental.

But then again, it was not surprising.

Without perseverance, how could one possess a cultivation that defies the heavens?

All living beings in the boundless void cultivate.

In the early stages, it relies on bloodline; in the mid stages, on comprehension and wisdom; in the later stages, on willpower.

And perseverance—

is a form of willpower.

"This is the Ancient Divine Path."

A faint smile played on the man's lips.

With a wave of his hand, he condensed a colorful bead that hovered in the void.

Then, he cast one last lingering and reluctant glance at the lonely grave in the vision.

His body slowly vanished.

In the realm of heaven and earth.

It seemed as though faint whispers echoed, or perhaps nothing at all:

"Even if one is invincible in the void, what of it..."

"... it cannot compare to a single strand of green hair upon your brow..."

Li Yue shook his head and sighed.

He clasped the colorful bead in his hand and offered a solemn bow toward the place where the man's figure had disappeared.
