Chapter 56: The

Boom!

It was as if the Sun were walking across the sky, spreading endless, pure light.

The Demon Monarch's massive body disintegrated within that absolute domain of Purification.

The Ancient Sun God's control over his own abilities was refined to the extreme; "Purification" had beaten the Demon Monarch within an inch of his life, but more importantly, it had "purified" the other High-sequence Characteristics within him.

This was the ability of the Sun Pathway Sequence 4 "Unshadowed," which could expel excess Beyonder Characteristics from the body.

And when executed with the current status of the Ancient Sun God, even a god could have the stability of the characteristics within them shaken.

And the characteristics of an Ancient God were inherently unstable...

Under a single strike, the very existence of the Demon Monarch seemed to have been purified away.

But the next instant, the Demon Monarch's form re-condensed within that pure light; truly wanting to kill him was not a simple matter.

However, the Ancient Sun God's goal had already been achieved; several shadows suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed something, and then completed "herding" on one of them.

That was a brass-colored metal book, the Unique of the "Judge" Pathway!

"Roar!" The Demon Monarch's state actually looked even better than it had just a moment ago?

With the premise of the excess characteristics being "purified," the Demon Monarch's existence became purer, and his mental state improved abruptly.

"Filth is forbidden here!" The Unique being herded by the shadows flashed with a bright light, and such a line of text was written upon the pages.

This Brass Book had already been used by the Ancient Sun God to counter the Demon Monarch.

"Abyss!" The Demon Monarch roared, and within the Real World, hidden deep within the endless seas, the Abyss shrouded in thick fog suddenly began to tremble.

The Demon Monarch actually had a sufficiently close connection with the Abyss, even to the point of manipulating it.

It was similar to the significance of the ocean to the Elf King!

But the next instant, the Demon Monarch disappeared directly, transforming into a conceptual existence so abstract that even a god could not capture it, becoming one with the Abyss, and vanishing completely from the Astral World, having broken away from the battlefield.

He... ran.

The mist in the deep sea shrouded it once more, the Abyss hid itself again, and the abstract Astral World also fell into silence.

"Fabuti... Abyss!"

The Giant King Ormir glanced at the Abyss covered by the mist, and then that single Twilight eye stared at the herded Brass Book.

"Hmph!" In the end, the Giant King did not make a move to snatch it; this was a potential collaborator.

The Twilight faded, and the Ancient God also shifted his gaze away.

This God War involved quite a bit, but it was far inferior to the God War that ended an era back then.

"So strong!" Chumen looked at the divine-robed figure still standing in the Astral World.

The current Ancient Sun God had already returned to his normal human appearance, the Sun and Shadow had faded, and his Godhood radiated brilliance.

He hadn't even used the power of the Chaos Sea yet...

Such an Ancient Sun God was too terrifying, and he was still far from reaching his limit.

"Follow me to take a look." Sasriel and Chumen tore through Space directly, locked onto the Abyss, and jumped over.

Where they were was a patch of thick fog, and beneath their feet were endless demons.

Demons of all sorts of bizarre shapes; some were covered in eyes, some were simply slippery, evil tentacles, and of course, there were also demons that were slightly more humanoid, which were already very high-level.

They had failed in the war and were scrambling to return to the Abyss.

"The state of the Abyss has some problems." Chumen watched for a while and confirmed, "Many years later, this place won't even be suitable for most Abyss creatures to exist."

It was because of the lack of High-sequence Characteristics of the two "Order" pathways; the order that had been shaped would gradually collapse.

Sasriel nodded gently, "But this is just right; having one Demon Monarch is enough. The other creatures would truly be eroded and become a hidden danger."

"But I think this Abyss is even more..." Chumen rubbed his chin, thinking of a not-so-appropriate word, "Pure?"

"The Demon Monarch's ability to transform into the concept of the Abyss just now must have been mastered after purifying his own characteristics." Sasriel gave Chumen the answer.

"The current concept of the Abyss has already merged with Fabuti."

"Is this a means of resurrection?" Chumen thought of this aspect immediately.

"If the Abyss does not perish, the 'Abyss' does not die." Sasriel said softly.

"Another god that is very difficult to kill."

No, it should be said that all gods are difficult to kill; there are always various means to resurrect and return.

Of course, some gods with immortality abilities always have to die a few times, so that they can demonstrate the uniqueness of their resurrection...

"So he is very suitable for guarding this place." Sasriel looked at the gradually closing Abyss and nodded gently.

Chumen even felt that the one in the Astral World had withdrawn his gaze from Sasriel.

"There is no need to pay too much attention here anymore." The two returned to the Creator's Divine Kingdom.

It was another Dream Council.

The four existences representing various parties gathered together once again.

"Thank you for your help." Sasriel directly offered the history of the previous epoch and the known knowledge of the Starry Sky.

These were the rewards that had been agreed upon in advance.

Chumen directly manifested them into paper books.

"History and the Starry Sky..." Amanises and Lilith both sank into them.

Chumen openly took a copy, wanting to see how the Ancient Sun God viewed the history of the First Epoch.

"Two hostile existences separated from the original Creator?"

"Lord of the Mysteries, Original God..."

This piece of intelligence completely narrated the history of the First Epoch, even mentioning the concept of Above the Sequence, and incidentally introduced the known Outer Gods as well.

"Compared to later generations, it lacks some clearer concepts and details, such as the fact that those two both accommodated multiple Source Qualities..."

"The descriptions of the Outer Gods are also missing many details, and even their honorifics are incomplete..."

These things were likely only inferred after the Ancient Sun God truly grasped the Authority of Omniscient and Omnipotent.

"... Incredible." Lilith's voice was slightly strained.

The enemy who might have been watching her for a long time was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

This meant that her path ahead would be even more arduous.

"Is this the truth of the world?" Amanises also sighed, as many things had exceeded her control.

"The knowledge here is all real." Chumen vouched for Sasriel.

"In a few thousand years, we will have to face those existences outside."

Lilith and Amanises both fell silent, digesting all of this and needing to re-examine themselves.

In the end, it was Amanises who recovered first, directly throwing a Hidden Space at Sasriel.

"Inside is an island obtained from the bottom of the Abyss, containing the ritual altar where the Demon Monarch Steal the power of an Outer God."

This thing had fallen into the Goddess's hands, and she had likely studied it quite a bit, but now it seemed that handing it over to the Ancient Sun God was the most appropriate way to handle it.

"Good." Sasriel put it away.
