"Hey! Old Xu! You're really doing this?!"
The Water God instinctively took two steps back, gripping the Ice Abyss Staff even tighter as he prepared to activate [Ice Abyss Guard] and run at any moment.
This wasn't something to joke about!
That thing was a source of law pollution capable of swallowing even his [Myriad Illusions Annihilation] in one gulp!
The Guildmaster being able to knead it into a ball didn't mean they could do the same!
Was Evergreen really planning to eat it as an Experience Pack?
However, the world-shattering energy explosion he expected never came.
The instant the gray bead touched the cover of the [Sacred Codex of Reincarnation], the entire world fell silent.
No, it wasn't silence.
It was "stillness."
Evergreen's pupils suddenly contracted!
He could feel that the [Sacred Codex of Reincarnation] in his hands—the Divine Artifact bearing the two opposing yet unified laws of "life" and "death"—was undergoing an extremely strange transformation.
It wasn't rejecting it, nor was it resisting. Instead, it was accepting it!
The sacred patterns on the pages, interwoven from Holy Light and death runes, were rapidly dimming at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The vigorous, unceasing rhythm of life representing "life" stopped.
The decaying aura representing "death," which devoured all things, also solidified.
The [Sacred Codex of Reincarnation] was no longer a Divine Artifact circulating Life-and-Death Power.
It was turning into a stone.
A stone that had completely lost all vitality—a stone of Absolute Stillness!
"Pfft!"
Evergreen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly paling like paper.
He felt his connection with the Divine Artifact being forcibly severed!
No, it was more terrifying than being severed!
The law of [Sloth] was using the [Sacred Codex of Reincarnation] as a medium to invade his Divine Soul in reverse!
