Chapter 524: Accident (1000 Plus)

~7 min read 1,386 words

Swish!

The Babel Tower, wrapped in rotting swamp, let out a groan of unbearable strain and was collapsing with a boom!

The head of the terrifying "Primordial Worm" split open like a flower, revealing circles of spiral sharp teeth, and surrounded Aaron!

"An accident!"

Aaron's expression was calm, as if he had long anticipated all of this, and he spat out two words in Spirit World Language.

The massive, earthworm-like bodies of two "Primordial Worms" unexpectedly collided, causing a "gap" to appear in the encirclement!

Aaron drew the "Sword in the Stone" and violently threw it at a Seventh Primordial Substance "Primordial Worm"!

The "Sword in the Stone" turned into a meteor, and its Certain Hit property allowed it to accurately strike that wriggling figure.

Furthermore, it caused that massive body to begin disintegrating...

With a single sword strike, a Seventh Primordial Substance "Primordial Worm" was completely dead!

"Therefore, I fed myself, the 'Lord of Hidden Corpses', and the 'Underworld Moon' to the 'Rancher', driving Him completely insane and triggering the apocalypse... and then I controlled Him with half the power of the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】... Now, He is also a part of me. Although this will lead this history to destruction and I do not have much time left in a clear state, it is enough if I only wake up when you ascend to the 'Gate of Longevity'!"

Greeting him were black tentacles, one after another, which continuously pierced through his hands and feet, firmly binding him in a 'big' shape and lifting him up before a mass of pitch-black swamp.

"So... this history was all your trap?" Aaron seemed to understand something and said miserably.

Others stirred up Thought Storms, sweeping toward those worms...

"Yes! When the 'Rancher' was still the 'Black Swamp', He was already secretly controlled by me..." The voice of the 'Mother of Night' was like the calm night, coming slowly: "But He is indeed the symbol of the apocalypse... Therefore, I did not merge with His power, but kept it as a trump card and backup, just like the 'Mother of Nature'!"

"Yes."

The rest were scattered throughout the Spirit World.

Aaron looked at the hesitant 'Rancher' and took the opportunity to shout.

The 'Mother of Night' of the First History did not want to commit suicide, so she did not do so.

Countless sludge spread upward, completely covering the 'Gate of Longevity' and sealing everything off!

Aaron's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly threw out a handful of "Rationality Amulets"!

These were all Talismans made by praying to the "Spirit of Falsehood" and using "Secret Source Power"!

He let out a hysterical roar.

The sludge covering the 'Gate of Longevity' scattered at once, and countless black swamps spread out, greedily devouring the falling "Rationality Charms"!

Aaron took the opportunity to dash straight for the 'Gate of Longevity'!

This time, no existence could stop him!

"Do you want to regain your sanity?"

"'Rancher'... you were never insane at all!"

"Go chase those charms!"

It can clear pollution and restore rationality!

Dealing with a madman, making him clear-headed is also a good weapon!

However, Aaron did not throw all the Rationality Amulets in the same direction.

Pure white flames burned, but they grew weaker and weaker.

Aaron's expression was somewhat puzzled, then became certain: "You are not the 'Rancher'! You are... the 'Mother of Night'!!"

It turned out the avatars thrown out earlier were all decoys!

Aaron wanted to use them to stall for time so that his true self could pass through the 'Gate of Longevity'!

He did not flee, but instead rushed toward the door made purely of radiance!

After being discovered, Aaron still decided to take a gamble!

But the 'Rancher's' speed was faster!

Some had not even made any move before their bodies began to rot, and small worms crawled out from within...

Rumble!

The pitch-black swamp bulged upward, revealing a pair of massive eyes.

In other words, those who have not experienced the Pale Forest, the Crimson Long River, and climbed the Babel Tower, even if the 'Gate of Longevity' is right before their eyes, will never be able to truly approach it, let alone push it open!

Aaron watched his blood being drained bit by bit by the black tentacles, his voice becoming weak, and he smiled bitterly: "Besides this... my Rationality Amulets should have a fatal attraction to any insane Pillar... but you are not insane at all... so you won't be lured away by it... All your previous performances were just acting to confuse me? Your target... was always just me?"

Drops of bright red blood containing gold slowly dripped from the pitch-black roots.

And more of them struck the "Primordial Worms," causing their movements to become chaotic all at once.

At this moment, Aaron exhausted all his means!

And the last Aaron was also 'ejected' from the void, his expression extremely ugly.

Pfft!

However, his figure stalled before the 'Gate of Longevity'!

It was close!

Aaron's figure moved, stepping on the other's corpse, and he completely broke out of the 'Primordial Worm' encirclement, suddenly splitting into eight other "Aarons" to break through in different directions.

"So... when I stepped into the trap, you went to destroy the 'Babel Tower' at the first opportunity, just to prevent any accidents and cut off the possibility of anyone approaching the 'Gate of Longevity' again?"

Aaron's avatars all shuddered, then stopped moving, and like walking corpses, they were devoured by the "Primordial Worms."

Only a few of them struck the sludge covering the 'Gate of Longevity', making it hesitant.

Those roots were like wriggling insects, drilling into his body, even beginning to seal his Spirituality and all his "possibilities"...

Once the 'Mother of Night' merges with the 'Rancher', the result is what it is now: the end of the world, the twilight of the Pillars, and in the end, perhaps even the Pillars will all be destroyed...

That rotting swamp, after shattering the Babel Tower with one blow, suddenly let out another hiss full of depravity.

Some figures suddenly turned ethereal, about to perform "Spirit World Teleportation"...

The tranquil voice of the "Mother of Night" continued to rise, like a lullaby, soothing Aaron's Spirituality and dissolving his final will to resist: "Ever since I confirmed that you needed to pass through the true 'Gate of Longevity'… I decided to create a 'Doomsday World'. You have a high probability of choosing to ascend to 'Immortal' among the various histories, and the fewer the 'Gods of the Ages' in a world, the more it will earn your favor!"

Aaron seemed to have only the strength left to speak, forcing himself to open his mouth: "Bait! Everything was bait! You deliberately feigned madness just to lower my guard and then set a trap? Everything was to capture me?"

Within the Black Swamp, an ethereal and beautiful, tranquil and peaceful voice rang out: "We meet again! Your Excellency, 'Spirit of Falsehood'!"

Closer!

Aaron spread his hands, about to touch the radiance of the Changsheng he had dreamed of!

Aaron looked down blankly, staring at his own chest.

He saw pitch-black roots, striking from behind, piercing through his chest.

The triple trial before the "Gate of Longevity" was also similar to a type of Ritual.

But it was useless!

These eyes were calm and gentle, without a single shred of madness or tyrannical emotion.

Even the "Furnace Fire" could not burn these pitch-black roots in the slightest!

"Ahhh!!!"

Even though his path was special, his combat power was comparable to the Seventh Primordial Substance, and he had the "Sword in the Stone" to assist him… the gap between him and a "God of the Ages" was still too great!

Roar!

A look of pain appeared on Aaron's face as he was hoisted high, far away from the "Gate of Longevity"…

Some of them unleashed the abilities of the "Red Earl," turning a patch of the void into crimson…

Pfft! Pfft!

"Beware of the 'Underworld Moon', beware of the 'Rancher'… so it could be understood this way?" Aaron lowered his head: "You win…"
