"Child, don't look back."

"Our home is gone... Our home is gone..." An old man held the girl in his arms, choking back tears.

"Grandpa, why is our home gone?"

Wasn't it still here yesterday?

"Could it be that bad guys are coming?" the girl asked innocently and naively.

The old man gently stroked the girl's head with his rough hands, seemingly reluctant, and forced a smile, saying, "There are no bad people. Even if there were, how could they possibly beat your grandpa?"

"We're just moving... we don't want this house anymore."

"A better life will come..."

The girl blinked her big eyes and waved her little hands, saying, "Really? Really?"

"It really is, even more real than spirit stones!"

"And what about Dad and Mom?"

Aren't they coming with us?

The old man trembled. "They... they went before us..."

The little girl was immediately overjoyed.

The refugees who were listening to their conversation remained silent.

The gaze shifts upwards.

A seemingly endless river of refugees came into view.

These were, shockingly, refugees who had fled from the Savage World to other worlds.

Countless spirit ships hovered in the sky.

Take those refugees away.

On the spirit boat.

A middle-aged man, veins bulging on his forehead, said angrily, "Why does He want to destroy everything?"

Did we do something wrong?

"What right do you have to take over someone else's world?"

"Damn it... why hasn't Heavenly Court sent reinforcements yet?"

"Are all the Venerable raised by those races afraid?"

It's in a corner not far away.

A bearded man seemed to have heard these First Seat as well. He stroked the blood-red blade in his hand, his eyes seemingly recalling past experiences.

"Li Chen... everyone is dead."

"Everything was destroyed... Our homeland is gone, the universe collapsed, and those Venerable Ones treated us like livestock, like slaves. Even though you gave us a glimmer of hope, they still found us."

Even Instructor Yu becomes a god, and I become a god, we're still less than ants in their hands... We're all dead.

"I thought you were dead long ago... I never expected this..."

"So all those words you said back then... were meant for me, but how could I possibly bring myself to kill you!"

Why is our world so broken? Why do these people enjoy the good things we never had? They live a life of debauchery while we struggle and suffer. Why?!

"Why should I?!"

The man exuded an aura of carnage and bloodshed, and a monstrous Sword Intent surged forth, startling everyone on the ship. The refugee sitting next to him collapsed to the ground, staring at him blankly, somewhat dumbfounded.

"It's God King expert!!"

"How can God King expert appear among the refugees?!"

"Bring him over quickly; we need to intimidate those people who are about to cross the line..."

Chaos erupted on the ship.

A murderous glint flashed in the bearded man's eyes as he swiftly transformed into a streak of red light and vanished.

The next moment, a sword aura annihilated the surrounding ten miles.

Only the lingering Sword Intent remained.

The earth was shattered, and countless severed limbs lay scattered.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood...

The light is gradually dimming.

The constantly shifting dust, mixed with snow, slowly settled on the ground.

Li Chen pulled his hand away from the chest of a burly man, whose body gradually grew cold... until he finally became one of the Eerie Monsters behind him.

"How many digits is it now?"

"Where have I wandered off to...?"

Li Chen's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful. A crack appeared on his body, and he looked up at the sun in the sky, seemingly finding it somewhat dazzling.

With a casual grab, he snatched a bird engulfed in flames, squeezed it hard... and it died instantly.

It got dark.

A hoarse voice rang out.

"The light is a bit too bright... then I'll turn it off."
