Chapter 411
「In the timeline without me, Bai Ce and them had a fierce battle with the God of War that was actually this difficult. 」
Xiao Wandi died and revived over and over.
The God of War also revived over and over.
Adding the obstruction of the black-robed swordsman, Bai Ce and company never managed to obtain the God of War's spark from start to finish.
The Savior Heirs could only turn their gaze to other deities.
Just as the current timeline had chosen, Feng Xi, relying on her peerless movement technique, escorted Zi Ling to the Underworld.
And the guardian of the Underworld turned out to be a Death Dragon!
Even more surprising to Gu Han was that the Death Dragon was actually Zi Ling's twin sister!
Both were born bearing the blessing of the previous God of Death.
Zi Ling's blessing lets the dead enter the Underworld!
While her sister the Death Dragon's authority lets those who enter the Underworld proceed to rebirth!
Merely because she had witnessed too many partings and deaths, the Death Dragon's spirit had already been corrupted.
Zi Ling nearly paid with her life before finally awakening the Death Dragon's sanity.
After mastering the God of Death's authority, Zi Ling could only remain in the Underworld, shouldering the duties of a demigod of death.
On the other hand, without Gu Han's help.
When dealing with the black-robed swordsman at the Hall of Learned Divinity, An Ji Nan activating the Myriad Paths Gate cost her one of her avatars, letting her feel the pain of death once again.
While Bai Ce, Xiao Wandi, and the others were locked in fierce combat with the God of War.
To bring back reinforcements in time, An Ji Nan again overdrew her soul power and opened the Myriad Paths Gate!
By then, An Ji Nan had only a small amount of soul power left.
The other Savior Heirs forced her to rest, not letting her worry about other matters.
And without the aid of the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit, Feng Yue Shan's soul power was not much better than An Ji Nan's.
While Zi Ling guarded the Underworld, Bai Ce and Xiao Wandi faced the Earth God, attempting to retrieve the Earth God's spark.
In Heavenly Universe City, the restless ones swung their butcher's knives at Feng Yue Shan!
Feng Yue Shan believed herself to have the help of the golden threads, and thus knew everything about Heavenly Universe City like the back of her hand.
But in the state of depleted soul power, her control over Heavenly Universe City had already waned!
Many ordinary people who had once been associated with Feng Yue Shan were, under the coercion of the restless elements in the city, held as hostages to threaten Feng Yue Shan!
If Feng Yue Shan were at her peak, these people would absolutely not be able to evade her golden threads' detection!
Even if they avoided the golden threads and came before Feng Yue Shan, it would be nothing more than lambs entering a tiger's maw!
The golden threads spread throughout Heavenly Universe City could instantly apprehend all lawbreakers!
But all this presupposes that Feng Yue Shan is still in her prime!
As for her now, she no longer possesses that ability.
In the end, she could only swallow her resentment at the hands of these people.
With Feng Yue Shan's passing, the Savior Heirs were suddenly leaderless.
The city was furthermore thrown into a wave of panic.
Bai Ce, hailed as the Savior, could only temporarily abandon his plan to seize the Earth God's spark, return to Heavenly Universe City, and stabilize the populace's hearts.
The Savior Heirs tread the path of recreating the world, with no time to halt their steps.
Although Bai Ce and company felt heavy-hearted, after purging the restless elements from the city, they also realized they must hasten to complete the God-Slaying Journey!
However, the Earth God's whereabouts are uncertain; after turning back, they cannot pinpoint his trail in a short time.
Moreover, the God of War is not an opponent they can match.
Trying to wear him down, who knows when that will happen—maybe in the Year of the Monkey and Month of the Horse.
Ultimately, Bai Ce and company set their sights on the God of the Heavens dwelling above the high heavens!
As long as they retrieve the God of the Heavens' spark, they will be able to fly as the legends say.
By then, the actions of the God-Slaying Journey will surely proceed more smoothly!
But they cannot fly now; if they wish to go to the high heavens, they can only rely on An Ji Nan's Myriad Paths Gate.
To be safe, this time, aside from Feng Xi staying behind to guard Sheng Cheng,
all the Savior Heirs set out together for the high heavens.
And it was precisely this time that let An Ji Nan finally exhaust her last demigod power!
Over the God-Slaying Journey spanning thousands of years, An Ji Nan has opened the Myriad Paths Gate countless times.
Any journey will eventually meet its end.
An Ji Nan's catchphrase is the greatest prophecy in the world.
"See you tomorrow."
After saying those words for the last time, An Ji Nan's body dissipated, leaving only her hair ribbon drifting down from the air.
Bai Ce and company, holding back tears, went forth to battle the God of the Heavens occupying the high heavens!
The God of the Heavens, who held absolute air supremacy, faced Bai Ce and the Savior Heirs and was nothing less than a dimensional strike!
Just as Bai Ce and company were about to face dire straits again.
Liang Jin, a descendant of the Child of the Heavens, offered his own body and forcibly sealed the God of the Heavens' flight ability!
The God of the Heavens never dreamed of this.
The bloodline he left behind before becoming a god would actually turn into a dagger stabbing himself!
Though the God of the Heavens, stripped of air supremacy, remains strong in battle, he is still far inferior to the God of War!
After Xiao Wandi had sacrificed his life more than ten times.
The Sky God ultimately died in battle beneath Bai Ce's sword!
Liang Jin, who bore the Sky God's fire seed at the end of his life, exhausted, merged into the statue above the high heavens.
Bai Ce, who led the remaining Savior Heirs, although he had gained the ability to fly.
But his heart was filled with an indescribable heaviness.
He brought Xiao Wandi and others back to Heavenly Universe City, but saw only the ruined city of broken walls and remnants!
Besides that, there was also Feng Xi, like a candle remnant in the wind.
"My deceit will never be exposed!"
Feng Xi exhausted his last strength, taking out the fire seed of the God of Deceit from his bosom,
"Feng Yue Shan, wait for me a step."
After saying those words, Feng Xi also breathed his last breath.
She had done all she could, completed the task Bai Ce assigned to her, guarded the statue of the God of the Burdened World, and her own fire seed.
The fire seed of the God of the Burdened World seized by the black-robed swordsman, and the fire seed of the God of Deceit.
It was merely a forgery by Feng Xi!
Or rather, from the beginning, the light that covered the entire Sheng Cheng came from the statue of the God of the Burdened World!
It was merely the disguise made by Feng Xi as a demigod of deceit.
"As long as everyone believes it to be true, that lie naturally becomes truth!"
Even if Gu Han knew he was watching, the lives that Feng Xi and the other Savior Heirs were originally supposed to live.
At this moment, he was also deeply moved!
The Savior Heirs have walked for a thousand years, yet no one has the confidence whether they can truly succeed.
Only the light and faith of the God of the Burdened World have been the guiding lamp leading the Savior Heirs forward!
But after the God of the Burdened World killed the God of Time and issued a divine edict, it began to digest the God of Time's power!
Thus, for a thousand years, no Savior Heir blessed by the God of Time has been born!
Afterwards, the so-called guiding lamp was merely an illusion fabricated by Sai Fei Er!
The true statue of the God of the Burdened World does not have such holy radiance!
Moreover, it has long been absent from Heavenly Universe City!
The two fire seeds left behind by Feng Xi have become the most crucial step of the Savior's journey!
