Chapter 1921: Domain

~11 min read 2,029 words

A brand-new power was gestating within his soul; it was another step on the path to godhood.

【Outsider, guide a drop of divinity to soak the Spirit Rune you prepared for the "Word of Sublimation."】

The voice beside his ear whispered gently, and the sound of drip-drop seemed like water droplets falling into his heart.

The golden liquid guided by the soul soaked the second Spirit Rune of the Word of Sublimation in the middle ring, which was also the eyes of the Outsider, witnessing the ending that this world should have arrived at:

"Whisper - End."

This was not the first time Xia De had used divinity to soak his Spirit Rune, but this time it was completely different from the past.

Divinity soaking a Spirit Rune originally only had an introverted influence on Xia De himself and would not have any impact on the outside world. But when the divinity completely dyed "Whisper - End" a dazzling gold, like the Sixth Ring of Order melting into golden light, while manifesting the Seventh Ring form amidst the most resonant bell tolling, an abnormal situation occurred on the island that was originally raining and diffusing thin red mist.

At the base of the tree, Luvia, who had just helped Priest Augustus deal with the "Soul Storybook," suddenly looked up, her palm touching something in the wind:

"Yellow sand?"

The phantom of the long-haired Luvia, which no one could see, appeared directly behind her, an expression of disbelief on her face.

The sky full of yellow sand attacked Green Island overwhelmingly at the moment of Xia De's ascension. The wild wind rolled up the yellow sand, carrying a certain extremely uncomfortable feeling, directly affecting everyone on the island at this moment, including "Edwards" within that mass of red light.

No one knew what this represented either, until someone was the first to see the scenery of the ruined city covered by yellow sand emerging behind the God-Caller amidst the sky full of yellow sand:

"Is this... the God-Caller's new Domain? Wait, what is this feeling?"

The scene of the City of the End, Tobesk, that infinitely desolate landscape, truly changed from a phantom to reality amidst the sky full of yellow sand. Not only Yiluna, Megan, and Durut Giles below Xia De, and Luvia's group under the tree, but even the Ring Warlocks in other locations on the island and the people on the hundreds of ships in the water could already truly touch the yellow sand after reaching out.

Looking up again, the top of the tree canopy was originally the erupting dazzling golden light and the suppressed blood-colored light, but at this moment, the scene of the city ruins with yellow sand filling the sky had completely emerged under the night sky.

Although the city had almost been destroyed, relying on the architectural style of the remaining buildings and a small amount of street scenery, some people still recognized that this was Tobesk City.

Yellow sand sprinkled over the entire island. In the air that had cooled down due to the heavy rain in the first half of the night, a cold wind that almost froze all things suddenly appeared.

On the pier at the edge of the island, the President of the Divination Association, the 13th-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi "Mr. Crystal" Adelaida Lenormand, who was with Grandma Natalie of the "Light-Guiding Cult," looked at this scene in the sky in astonishment. After being reminded by the old woman beside her, he hurriedly used the crystal ball floating beside him to perform divination.

But that crystal ball exploded immediately:

"What is that? Doomsday? Does the God-Caller know something? What is he doing? To fight that traitor, there's no need to use the power of mutual destruction, right?"

The semi-illusory City of the End solidified behind Xia De, and the position where he stood was strikingly like the center of St. Deran Square. The two "Calamity Cards" originally floating beside Xia De automatically threw themselves into the city, melting in the pitch-black light and shadow, making the city become even more vivid.

The voice beside his ear reminded:

【Outsider, you have learned the Domain - End...】

"No!"

Xia De controlled his Spirit, forcibly interrupting the impulse to let the Tobesk of the doomsday manifest. He reached out and summoned 【Twin Lovers】 and 【Shadow of the Deep Sea】 from the city that was about to become reality, forcibly putting them away.

The Domain he felt forming just now was the "City of the End, Tobesk City." But he also felt that the city of the end born from his memory combined with those two cards; once the Domain was truly born, the effect of this Domain would use the despair and pain of the doomsday-decaying world to directly pollute the current city, and then pollute the real Green Lake area and even the entire world.

He never expected that using divinity to soak "End" would lead to such a result. But fortunately, he controlled it in time; otherwise, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.

"The long-haired Luvia has clearly awakened, but she rarely takes action directly. Could it also be to prevent the doomsday power contained in her memory and power from potentially polluting this Sixth Era?"

The yellow sand filling the sky was still blowing, but the phantom of the city covered by yellow sand that had emerged in the night sky disappeared abruptly. That terrifying aura that even a 13th-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi felt was swept away, as if what had just happened was everyone's collective hallucination.

But people had seen that scene after all. Fortunately, there was no need to consider what kind of impact this would have right now.

The Seventh Ring of Order had already emerged behind Xia De in the light, but only "Edwards" closest to him could see it. He was not surprised or questioning because of this. The man in the blood-colored light opened his arms as if to embrace the starry sky, and the dense blood-red branches in the tree canopy beneath him pierced into his back, causing the blood-colored light around him to spread rapidly to the entire giant tree, and then causing the entire island located on the back of the material world to begin radiating red light.

Blood mist, rain, yellow sand filling the sky, red blood light—this island, which was already strange, became less and less like the real world where humans should exist. And "Edwards," who had scattered all his power to the island, had an aura that appeared increasingly powerful.

The ring body composed of curved tree roots emerged behind him in the heavy blood mist. The special 13th-Ring of Order gradually grew larger until, in Xia De's eyes, that Ring of Order seemed to have circled the Diviner himself in the middle. Blood light entangled that strange Ring of Order, and the robe swayed in the wind. With arms opened, one hand pointing to the sky and one hand pointing to the earth, his every breath was the same as the rhythm of the wind, and every beat of his heart seemed to be the beating of this world.

And opposite him, the feeling Xia De had just now when he forcibly held back the Domain that was about to be born was even more unbearable than the feeling of forcibly holding back the 【Arrow of Knowledge of Eikenora】 that was about to be shot last year; it was as if tens of thousands of little Mias were scratching his skin at the same time.

But he still knew what he had to do. The radiance of divinity spread over his body, and his right hand, pierced by golden cracks, beckoned lightly. The 【Night Watcher】 in Yiluna's hand below flew automatically into his hand.

"God-Caller, can you answer me, what does the city that appeared behind you just now mean?"

The grand voice rang out above the entire island. Merely the echo shook away the clouds of ascension under the night sky.

"The past I once witnessed, the path I chose, is to absolutely not allow such an ending to appear again."

In the blood-colored light, one person pointed one hand to the sky and one to the earth; in the golden light, one person held a long sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing downward, and stabbed forcefully into the air beneath his feet. The gushing spring water fell like a waterfall toward the wreckage of the banquet hall below, and then fell from the edge of the wreckage toward the lower part of the giant tree like a waterfall.

And at the base of the tree, Luvia, who had just been shocked by the phantom of the ruined city, suddenly looked up at the night sky higher up. She did not praise the moon at this moment like the Red Butterfly sisters who were looking at the bright silver moon in the mist and yellow sand, but reached out her hand and caught the first snowflake that fell:

"It's snowing."

"It's snowing."

Angelina, who had just walked out of the old house under the giant tree, also reached out her hand and caught a snowflake almost at the same time as Luvia. The cat she held in one hand meowed, smelling Xia De's scent from the snow. Leixiya and Dorothy held hands, looking at the heavy snow filling the sky that covered the blood mist and yellow sand, looking at the vast starry sky that was revealing its full appearance for the first time tonight.

The two were quite calm in their hearts.

Behind them, Miss Danister narrowed her eyes and looked up at the very top of the giant tree, watching the falling "waterfall" connect the tree canopy and the ground like silver silk:

"Domain... can you swim?"

"What?"

"Nothing, it seems there's no need to swim."

The lake island slowly floated up from below. Yiluna, Megan, and Durut Giles only felt the wreckage under their feet shaking. When they looked around in the heavy snow, they found that they were already standing on the lake island illuminated by the silver moon at some point.

Xia De's Domain only included them. People all over the central island of Green Lake and even on the water saw the huge island floating in the air, and a circle of silver-white water chains flowing down from the edge of the island.

It was not that Xia De did not want to transform the entire Green Island into a part of Domain - Water of Wisdom, but because this place was not only Xia De's Domain. The blood-colored giant tree still stood on Green Island, and then pierced straight through the floating lake island.

The Diviner, who was connected to the tree by dense branches at the top of the giant tree, lowered his head and looked at Xia De, who had landed on the floating island, from afar. The former closed his eyes:

"Domain - Green Island!"

The latter widened his eyes:

"Domain - Water of Wisdom!"

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. Green Island, which had been transformed into "Edwards'" Domain, collided with the power of the lake island summoned by the Domain. Finally, the Domain and the Domain were interlocked, just like a round jade embedded in a gold cake.

Edwards, who had mastered the island and even become the spirit of the island, finally welcomed this moment under the moon after two hundred years of preparation. And the Outsider, who had regained that supreme wisdom, also temporarily fully mastered the power that the enemy before him finally possessed at this moment on his own island due to the characteristics of the Domain.

Blood color diffused; the power of "All Things Return to One" achieved the master of the island, and the power of "All Things Return to One" also belonged to the Outsider. Clearly, the two Domains were still confronting each other, but the two people who had just recited different Domain names said that word at the same time:
