The Second Heavenly God Falls
The curtain call of the gods only occurs in the Elementary Plane. Moreover, once a god falls in Elementary Plane, a curtain call lasting more than ten minutes will be held in every corner of that Elementary Plane, and this strange phenomenon can even be seen in the various secret realms and ruins attached to it.
The fall of Selak meant that the curtain call that took place in the entire Second Time Plane was quickly witnessed by everyone in that dimension.
Of course, most people didn't know what had happened. If it weren't for the Sea Emperor's explanation, Gu Ding and the others probably wouldn't have known why the entire plane suddenly went dark.
However, both gods were all too familiar with the final ceremony that resulted from the fall of a god.
"Someone has fallen?! Is it one of our own or the enemy's?" This was the first reaction of most gods upon seeing the closing ceremony, but there were some exceptions.
A tall, White-Robed Youth robes, his eyes closed and back ramrod straight, walked through the void, a paper umbrella slung across his back. As darkness suddenly descended, he looked up at the sky. Though his eyes remained closed, he seemed to clearly sense the approaching final curtain. After more than ten minutes of darkness, he lowered his head, muttering to himself, "Selak's aura has vanished. It seems there's a Combat Strength figure in their ranks, someone stronger than Fifth Sequence Celestial."
"Gah gah gah... Young man, are you lost?" A voice suddenly came from behind the White-Robed Youth. It was a short, thin man wearing sunglasses, who looked somewhat sleazy.
The White-Robed Youth slowly turned around. His eyes remained closed, and his calm expression faced the direction where the shorter man was.
"So you're blind. No wonder you're so alert. They say people who lose one sense become exceptionally sharp in their other senses." The short man looked the man up and down. "Little blind man. Where do you want to go? I'll show you the way."
"Second Sequence Heavenly God, Combat Strength is between the Fourth Sequence and Fifth Sequence... With your strength, you still can't kill Selak and escape unscathed. You must have stronger companions, right?" The White-Robed Youth was well aware that the other party had come with ill intentions.
"It seems your supernatural power is quite special..." The short man looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise. The other party had actually judged his Combat Strength directly. "But what's the use of judging my Combat Strength? Your cultivation is only at the Second Sequence Heavenly God level. It's impossible for your Combat Strength to exceed mine."
"Only those who need self-affirmation call themselves 'this great one.' In other words, you're actually quite insecure." The White-Robed Youth spoke as he slowly took the umbrella off his back, then gripped the handle. The white paper umbrella instantly changed color, turning a blood-red hue. "Tell me your name, and I will erect a tombstone for you after you die."
"You little punk, you've got quite the nerve. Erecting a tombstone for me?! I'd like to see who's erecting a tombstone for whom today! I am Timo Dees!" The short man never expected that the other party, though blind, would be so arrogant.
"Very well, then please remember my name, Boyi Gu ..." The White-Robed Youth also gave his name.
"Die, you brat!" No sooner had Boyi's voice fallen than Teemo suddenly attacked, his claws slicing through the air, transforming into tens of thousands of invisible gusts of wind. They instantly tore nearby planets to shreds.
But as soon as the move was made, Teemo's powerful fighting instinct sent a chill down his spine. Almost at the same time, a blood-red paper umbrella pierced through the back of Teemo's head, the tip of the umbrella going straight through his skull.
"Boom!" A violent explosion followed, and Teemo's head suddenly exploded. His body turned into countless energy particles that scattered in all directions.
The entire plane went dark again in an instant, and the curtain call of the gods descended once more.
"Another celestial being has fallen..." Gu Ding and his group were also shocked in the spaceship. Celestials were such powerful beings, and the fact that two of them had died in less than twenty minutes meant that the battle between the two planes had entered a white-hot stage.
But this time, Boyi Gu didn't look up in a daze. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his deep blue-black eyes, as dark as the starry sky, shone with starlight. All the energy particles in Teemo's body reversed and returned to Teemo's original appearance.
Anyone who witnessed this scene would likely be utterly astonished. A fallen god had been re-formed.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the Teemo who has reformed has a somewhat blank expression on his face.
"Tell me, how many Celestial God-level experts does your family have in total, and how many were dispatched this time?" Boyi stood less than two meters away from Timo, his gaze fixed intently on Timo.
"Our Dees Family currently has twelve Celestials remaining in this plane, and seven of them were dispatched this time," Timo replied expressionlessly, like a puppet on a string.
"Among the seven, who is the strongest? And at what level?" Boyi asked his second question.
"The strongest among them is our Chief Grand Elder Willis, whose cultivation level is Third Sequence Celestial God, and whose Combat Strength is at the peak of the Sixth Sequence." Timo gave a precise answer with his expressionless face.
"Is this Chief Grand Elder the strongest among your twelve gods?" Upon hearing about Willis's Combat Strength, Boyi didn't seem surprised and immediately asked his third question.
"No, among the twelve, Willis's Combat Strength is only ranked second. The strongest is the Fourth Elder, Du Kao. Although he is also Third Sequence Celestial God, he is a true battle maniac who can fight Seventh Sequence powerhouse head-on."
Upon hearing this reply, Boyi frowned slightly. "Is that guy named Du Kao able to play now?"
"Du Kao went into seclusion more than three million years ago, and we haven't heard from him in recent years. He probably won't be able to participate in the battle anytime soon." This information provided by Timo made Boyi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tell me where Hake is being held, give me the exact coordinates," Boyi suddenly asked a question unrelated to the conflict between the two sides.
"Hake is imprisoned in the Black Hell, a special prison used to punish Direct Lineage members of the family. The coordinates are ****," Teemo said without any attempt to hide anything.
"There's one last question. After you answer it, you can finally rest in peace." Boyi recorded the coordinates and looked up at the other person again. "Tell me, do you have any news about Gu Ding?"
"I've never heard of that name before." Timo paused for a moment when he heard the question, and after searching his memory, he couldn't find the name.
"Very good!" Boyi nodded in satisfaction, the starlight in his eyes fading, and he quickly closed his eyes again.
After he closed his eyes, Teemo's body began to dissipate again...
