Chapter 335: Actor, Take the Stage

The red light was blinding to the extreme, even eclipsing the massive scarlet pillar in the sky.

It was less a light than a Rules avalanche!

Chen Shao, teetering between life and death, made a decision that no one had anticipated.

He even voluntarily detonated the Rule Power of the Divine Gifts that had just arrived at his chest!

He doesn't want them!

He treated these items, which could drive countless people mad, as the cheapest consumables, and discarded them in a single, decisive toss!

"Get... out of here!"

Chen Shao's scream warped and twisted, and the crystals, black ring and pendant turned into several ultra-concentrated energy explosives, Boom—!

There was no earth-shattering roar.

Only a heart-pounding silence.

Immediately after, a ferocious Rule Power turbulence centered on Chen Shao swept outward in all directions!

Lin Fan's Black Water Tornado was instantly dispersed by this chaotic force, turning into mist that filled the sky.

Jiang Yuan's shadow legion, under the wash of the Rule Power turbulence, emitted a mournful shriek and dissolved in swathes.

Even Su Ming's prideful Spatial Force was thrown into chaos; he let out a low hum, blood spurted from his mouth corner, and his body staggered backward.

Seizing the brief chaos, a figure surged out from behind Chen Shao.

It was Xu An!

From his mouth stitched with a black line came a strange "Hoho" sound; the Red Wood Ruler in his hand swung forward hard, and a "Correction" Rule Power met the most turbulent corner of the turbulence, forcibly smashing open a gap.

Puff!

Xu An's body shuddered violently, a large chunk of his chest collapsing inward, clearly badly wounded, yet he paid no mind, grabbed Chen Shao's tattered collar and yanked it back sharply.

At the same time, the air around them twisted, a vague silhouette materialized, seized the two, and vanished instantly on the spot.

It was the Invisible Person who had been lurking all along!

"Want to leave?"

Lin Fan's right eye flared with blue fire; just as he was about to pursue, a hand pressed onto his shoulder.

It was Jiang Yuan.

He waved his hand to disperse the smoke before him and shook his head.

"Do not chase a desperate foe."

Lin Fan's chest rose slightly, but he ultimately suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

When the smoke cleared, only a charred crater remained in the center of the Square.

Chen Shao and his subordinates had long vanished.

At the edge of the Square, within the shadows of broken walls and ruins, some mercenaries who had originally been scavenging witnessed the battle that could be called a clash of deities, and saw even someone as powerful as Chen Shao meet such a tragic end, each becoming terrified to the point of losing their souls.

They stared at the three demigod-like figures by the crater, daring not even to breathe, and silently, one after another, retreated into the darkness, scattering like birds and beasts.

No one else dared to covet this contested ground.

Jiang Yuan paid no heed to those petty ruffians.

He stepped into the explosion's center, bent down, and from the charred soil, he picked up each of the Divine Gifts that Chen Shao had thrown as bait.

A cold sensation traveled from his fingertips; each item represented a lost life and a twisted desire.

At that moment, Lin Fan also came over.

He remained silent for a long while; Ling Xinyu, who had been lingering behind him, let her endless black hair gradually recede, finally forming a faint silhouette of a girl in a white dress with delicate features, quietly standing beside him.

Her gaze was no longer a black void shedding blood tears, but had regained its former clarity, though tinged with an unresolvable sorrow, quietly watching Jiang Yuan.

Lin Fan inhaled deeply, as if having made a momentous decision.

He removed all the Divine Gifts he had gathered, along with the Bronze Ring on his right index finger that had accompanied him and turned countless battles, and solemnly presented them before Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was startled.

Lin Fan gave him a deep look, his voice hoarse yet bearing an unprecedented solemnity.

"Don't forget your promise."

At this moment, what he handed over was not merely a few Weird items.

It was the hope of him and Ling Xinyu.

It was the abandonment of crafting the ending with his own hands, and instead believing in a grander possibility that could save more people.

It was the heaviest trust that the young man could offer after enduring blood and fire.

Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Fan, then at the quiet girl silhouette beside him.

He said nothing, merely extended his hands and solemnly took all the crystals and the ring.

Thirteen items.

In the Blood Moon game, almost every Divine Gift, at this moment, gathered entirely in Jiang Yuan's sole hands!

Buzz!

When the final item fell into his palm, the thirteen Divine Gifts erupted with intense resonance!

They were no longer separate entities, but turned into countless streams of light, merging in his palm into a continuously rotating light sphere.

The scarlet pillar, as if guided, instantly merged into one!

A pure white radiance replaced the former scarlet, soaring skyward from Jiang Yuan, tearing the dim blood-colored heavens and piercing the firmament!

The brilliance, holy and vast, dispelled the surrounding Blood Mist and even halted the writhing of the gruesome flesh tissues.

Jiang Yuan bathed in the white light, his expression solemn.

He faced Lin Fan and Ling Xinyu's gazes, swearing an oath that spanned life and death.

"I swear by my very being."

I must fulfill this promise.

Unless I die.

The blue fire in Lin Fan's eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only the human clarity.

He smiled with relief, took the cold hand of Ling Xinyu beside him, nodded to Jiang Yuan, Liang Wen and Su Ming, and turned toward the other side of the Square.

They do not intend to join the final battle, but they will stay here to witness the ending.

White light slowly faded.

Jiang Yuan turned around and stood together with Su Ming and Liang Wen.

The three looked up, gazing at the TV Tower in the distance that had been completely engulfed by the ink‑green Weird Domain and had become fully "alive".

It resembled a giant beast thrusting its head out of the Abyss, its tower body covered with writhing flesh and massive eyeballs, and the signal needle at the top transformed into a ferocious Bone Spike that pierced the clouds.

There is the endpoint of this blood‑soaked game.

It is also the beginning of everything.

At the very top of the skyscraper, at the tip of that Bone Spike.

A figure wearing a gray Rock Mask and a splendid suit, leaning on an Eyeball Staff, looked down at the white light column that had just been extinguished.

"Hehe......"

"Hehe hahahaha......"

Sai Men let out a chillingly fanatical laugh that pierced the clouds and echoed over the dead, silent city.

"Finally...... finally it's here!"

"My most anticipated performer has already entered with the script!"

He spread his arms like a mad conductor, awaiting the sounding of the final movement.

On his body flickered the last faint sky‑piercing red light.
