Perhaps no one has ever cared about the casualties.
And no one has ever cared about the myriad aspects of human life.
They all say the world is so beautiful, describing a magnificent era, where light shines on all things and illuminates the world.
But... at that moment, everything collapsed.
The sky was cracking, and corpses were everywhere. On this battlefield belonging to the strong, even the smallest thing was crushed.
One after another, they came to their deaths.
All for the sake of protecting the homes they left behind.
They gazed up at the figure on the throne... but dared not take a step forward, their hearts filled with nothing but fear.
The world is dead at this moment.
Blood rain... a bloody wind, the old gods slaughtered all living beings like pigs and dogs... even Venerable Emperors, even the strong, all hope was crushed.
Li Chen was dressed in a black robe, his hair dancing wildly in the bloody wind, but his eyes were devoid of any light, only a silent emptiness that seemed to sink into an abyss.
"Your Majesty, I have seen it."
"I really see it; my freedom is just ahead."
The next moment, space shattered.
A hand cleaved through the void, aiming straight for Li Chen's vitals.
In the blink of an eye, the hand in the void was touched by a bit of black substance and was instantly invaded, and a scream came from the void.
Li Chen looked over and uttered a soft "Ah."
Like catching piglets, they dragged the people out of the void; it turned out they were those who fantasized about dying...
With a "poof" sound.
The sound vanished, leaving only a corpse slowly falling from the throne.
Li Chen fell silent...
One after another, they rushed to their deaths. In the darkness, he could sense that the Heavens wanted to expel him and drive him back to the Sea of Chaos. Those old gods were killed by an inexplicable force.
The power behind me is constantly dissipating.
But... we're almost there.
Suddenly, he looked at the rising stone pillar in the distance.
The person above seemed familiar... but was instantly pulverized by an extremely powerful force.
The Long Shou unleashed an extremely powerful force, blocking the path between all living beings. He could clearly sense that this "Eerie Lord" had lost all humanity, so his previous actions were completely useless.
Now they want to prolong their lives.
Only by holding them off... can they eventually force people from all over the world to migrate to those Polluted Universes.
At least that way there's still a glimmer of hope.
With a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Long Shou looked at the robe that was gradually turning black on his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Damn it, I've been tainted by the Forbidden again."
"Very well... I've lived long enough, so let me enjoy one last, ultimate battle."
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky.
Many powerful figures noticed the Long Shou's condition.
The next moment, purple lightning struck.
Someone shouted from among the corpses, "Run!! Run!!"
"The Long Shou is forcibly undergoing its tribulation, trying to drag that monster down with it!"
"Don't get involved!"
In the blink of an eye, streaks of light danced in the air.
Those were the halos left behind by people as they fled.
The Long Shou stood calmly amidst the Lightning Tribulation, blocking the lightning with an indifferent expression. Then, with extremely fast speed, it killed the approaching ancient gods and quickly moved towards Li Chen's position.
It was only a few miles away.
Li Chen could sense that a destructive force was gathering in the Heavens.
At this moment, everyone in the world is watching, and countless people are praying that he will be killed so that this damned war will end.
Li Chen's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful as he murmured, "Why is everyone trying to stop me..."
