Amidst the faint, almost imperceptible sound of a flute.

Roger gazed into the distance towards the Quinan Star.

Although his eyesight was insufficient to see what was happening on the Ancient Desolate Continent.

However, the soaring killing tide detected by the Qi Divination Technique and the continuous alarm signals coming through the Ascension Perception were all warning of the impending crisis.

Those bizarre and fantastical events that occurred on the Ancient Desolate Continent.

The story is finally about to reach its climax...

And the endgame!

They did so without prior arrangement.

Roger and Beya were both preparing to head to Quenan.

But at this very moment...

A faint fluctuation of laws arose between the two.

The next second.

A pale blue orb of light appeared in front of each of them! The two exchanged a glance.

They inserted their hands into the sphere of light.

When taken out.

The Queen now held a small ruler in her hand.

And what Roger held in his hands.

It was a bronze longsword that gleamed with a soft, luminous light! Then...

A dense stream of information scrolled across the data bar.

"Note: The story of the Twin Stars Guardian slaying the Serpent of the End has spread to most regions of Twin Stars through Star Track Phenomenon. People are grateful for your actions, and your Twin Star reputation has increased by 1000..."

Since your Twin Stars reputation has reached its current cap, you have obtained the Reputation Artifact: Sword of Order.

"Sword of Order: A longsword imbued with the power of the laws of the Prime Material Plane."

It can, to some extent, modify laws, interpret definitions, decipher truths, change the environment, execute evil beings, banish otherworldly creatures, and decide the ownership of regions.

The Sword of Order possesses a certain degree of the effect of ' Law Follows Speech '.

After being used three times, the Sword of Order will degenerate into a sharp longsword.

However, it will lose its effect as Reputation Artifact.

You can exchange a small number of uses by investing reputation.

Please note.

The Sword of Order requires an extremely high reputation from its user...

"A ready-made Reputation Artifact?"

Roger was overjoyed.

He also obtained Reputation Artifact from Mystra while farming Blood of Myriad Filth.

However, that thing requires a long gestation period.

It's not as satisfying as the "Sword of Order".

Although the number of times available is limited.

Roger was still very satisfied with this Reputation Artifact.

What he lacks now are lofty things like rules and authority.

Even consumables.

Having one on you will at least give you peace of mind.

At present.

He carefully sheathed the Sword of Order.

"The reason I obtained the Reputation Artifact is because I slew the Serpent of the End."

"Is Beya doing this because of that bridge-building project just now?"

"I wonder what the effects of the artifact she obtained are?"

Thinking this way.

Roger couldn't help but glance in her direction.

Who knew that Beya's hand speed was extremely fast.

Before Roger's gaze could fall...

The tiny ruler vanished without a trace.

"I've seen your sword before."

Beya whispered, "It once belonged to Quinan."

Roger remained silent.

"This proves that Quinan was indeed reincarnated, otherwise this Reputation Artifact would not have fallen into your hands."

Beya sighed softly, "Let's go."

"I have a feeling we'll see Khunan soon..."

At present.

The two continued along the Twin Stars Corridor.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps.

Then Bai eagerly offered his suggestion:

"What good will it do for you to rush over there now? Can you stop this blood sacrifice? It's impossible."

"Isn't finding Reincarnation of Quinan the most important thing right now?"

"By the way, big sister, didn't you say before that you had control over Reincarnation of Quinan?"

Roger was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart! Beya, however, remained relatively calm upon hearing this.

She pondered for a moment and said:

"I have not found the Reincarnation of Quinan..."

"But there is one imposter."

"He's on the Ancient Desolate Continent right now. That's right, let's go find him first..."

Roger began, with a hint of bitterness in his voice:

"If the imposter you're talking about is Brandon, then things are in trouble. He's not on the Ancient Desolate Continent anymore, but on the Beheading Highlands near the Abyss..."

Beya frowned:

Is that so?

"But I don't think Brandon is Quinan."

"It's obvious he's just a decoy to draw attention; the real Khunan is hiding much deeper..."

"Unless..."

She suddenly clenched her teeth:

"Unless He also plays a game of deception."

Bai blinked. "As far as I know, the gods love to play tricks that mix truth and falsehood, because they are arrogant and believe they can always think at a higher level..."

"That Brandon is 100% Quinan!"

Roger said decisively, "I'll go find him!"

"I left at the Beheading Highlands..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Beya suddenly pointed casually.

A light curtain of water rippled out in front of the two of them.

As divine power was slowly poured in.

The blurry image gradually became clearer.

At the bottom of the screen.

It was the back view of a middle-aged man.

He was now in the middle of a field ridge covered with bluish-gray rice.

Scarecrows with eerie smiles were everywhere.

And in front of him.

The elongated view reveals a fortress that is almost as tall as the horizon!

On the fortress.

There were densely packed, heavily armed guards.

A black dragon was circling in the sky.

Indistinctly.

A terrifying roar came from the beast.

Hint: You have discovered ' Blood War Plains/Purgatory Fortress '

"You've found Brandon..."

"Blood War Plains..."

Roger's clenched fist instantly loosened.

' Brandon ' didn't go to Beheading Highlands.

That ' Space Storm ' was just a decoy! If he really is Quinan.

So, while Roger was outwitting and outmaneuvering the mastermind behind the scenes...

He just kept staring at me coldly!

This feeling is truly chilling.

It can happen very quickly.

Roger was drawn to Brandon's eccentric behavior.

He struggled to walk.

They usually take three steps forward.

He stumbled back two steps.

But strangely enough...

His backward steps were the normal stride.

Every step forward is worth hundreds of steps backward!

that's all.

He staggered toward the heavily guarded fortress!

He trampled the rice paddies along the way into pieces.

Although we couldn't see the expression on his face.

But Roger could also imagine his current pain!...

"That's right, it's the entanglement between divinity and humanity..."

Bai sighed and said:

"This person has a strong will, but he can't possibly be a match for the will of a god. As the reincarnation of a god, his memories of this world will soon be swept away by that vast consciousness spanning countless epochs..."

"Unless you kill him..."

"But that's not realistic either. You seem to have some connection with him? Besides, his location is too far away..."

Roger glanced at her.

The latter stuck out his tongue.

I dared not say another word.

What is he doing?

Roger asked.

Beya replied in a deep voice:

"He's digging a pit for the demons in Purgatory Fortress..."

"His goal is to lure a portion of the powerful demons to the Ancient Desolate Continent!"

Roger said thoughtfully, "The Rift of the Heavens War?"

"Yes."

Beya glanced at Bai:

"If what she said is true, then Quinan will have to simulate all the elements of the Rift of the Heavens War at the Celestial God's Testing Ground: the Celestial Gods Race, the Starry Sky God Race, the Abyss Forces, the multi-party battle... all of these will be included."

"Is the devil missing?"

Roger let out a breath.

"All that's missing is the devil!"

Beya also became a little nervous.

The two did not hesitate.

Roger willingly joined Beya's divine kingdom.

The latter initiated an ultra-high-frequency teleportation technique! Thirteen seconds later.

They appeared in the sky above the Ancient Desolate Continent!

"Divine magic can be used now..."

Beya noticed the teleportation location:

"The boundary between this continent and the Prime Material Plane is fading!"

Roger also sensed that the energy within his body was no longer restrained.

This means that the point at which Quinan fully awakens is very close!...

At present.

The three stood atop the clouds of the Beya Divine Kingdom.

Overlooking the Ancient Desolate Continent witnesses the shocking catastrophe unfolding before their eyes.

Roger saw it.

Centered on the Ten Thousand Year Mountain Range.

Everyone in sight was fighting like madmen! Their eyes were bloodshot.

Looking at the enemy was like seeing a lifelong nemesis.

Every move and stance.

They're all going down the same path of mutual destruction! It's not just the Celestial Gods Race and the Starry Sky God Race who are caught in this endless death struggle.

The native inhabitants of this continent were also bewitched.

They fought each other like wild beasts.

Not long after.

The entire continent was shrouded in a Blood Cloud!

Slaughter.

It became the sole theme on the Ancient Desolate Continent! Living beings were killing each other.

The Plane Will are also vying for power!

Roger noticed.

The Totem Will, one of the Four Wills, has been jointly eliminated by the other three Wills, who have also eroded its territory and domain.

The remaining Black Crystal Will and Torrent Will were locked in a life-or-death duel.

Only the Ancient Desolate Will had transformed into Ferocious Ape remained in relatively good condition.

But he noticed Roger and Beya's arrival.

So he stared at them with a hint of fighting spirit.

It felt like war could break out at any moment!

"Ascension Perception: The ' God of War Frenzy Blood Song ' from the heavens has bewitched all living beings on the continent."

They knew nothing of death or life.

All they know is to carry out the killing to the very end...

"You sensed the hostility of the Ancient Desolate Will!"

"The God of War Frenzy Blood Song!" Roger suddenly looked up.

It was that exhilarating piece of music he had just heard.

It came from the sky!

At that time.

He strained his eyes to the limit.

Finally, a magnificent carriage came into view on the horizon!

That bewitching melody was clearly coming from the carriage!

Roger was jolted awake.

He then wanted to fly towards the direction of the carriage.

But the next second.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because it is within perception.

He couldn't even detect the carriage's presence!

Or rather...

It was a carriage that could not be locked onto or captured! Perception Authority surged rapidly.

A minute or so later.

Only then did the relevant information quietly emerge.

"Perception: You have discovered the ' God of War Chariot '."

"The God of War Chariot: The material authority of the Celestial God Quinan, which cannot be locked onto, selected, captured, or attacked by others..."

It is part of the laws of the Prime Material Plane.

You realize that the God of War Chariot is spreading the ' God of War Frenzy Blood Song '.

Everyone who hears this piece will be driven into a state of relentless madness!

This is the origin of 'blood sacrifice'...

"You have exempted the God of War Frenzy Blood Song from punishment..."

Not only that.

Roger also discovered another terrifying thing! Every single person who died in battle.

Its soul power will dissipate in an instant.

At first, he thought it was because the intensity of the battle below was too high.

So much so that even the souls of those who participated in the war were not preserved.

It can happen very quickly.

He discovered that all that soul energy had been drawn into the "God of War Chariot" in the first instant!

Gradually.

A silver-white halo appeared around the carriage.

"That's the God of War Halo..."

Beya noticed this as well.

She offered her explanation:

"If it successfully condenses the 14 God of War Halo, the real Quinan should be resurrected from that carriage..."

Roger nodded and asked, "What should we do?"

Beya gave a wry smile, "I don't know either."

"Theoretically optimal solution is... for us to kill these people!"

"I think I understand what Quinan is thinking."

He was born in accordance with the war beliefs of the Celestial Gods Race.

This time.

He also followed the path of promotion of those years.

He merely offered these fallen soldiers a false promise—

He will bring the souls of these fallen warriors into His Kingdom.

This would grant them immortality.

It was clearly a scam.

The current Kuinan is far less powerful than it once was.

He needs fire.

A great deal of firewood is needed to rekindle the divine fire! Therefore...

These extracted souls will ultimately only turn into burning ashes...

After listening to the Queen's explanation.

Roger fell silent.

The God of War Frenzy Blood Song has been activated.

They have no way to stop it from any link in the chain, from the source to the channel or the end.

after all.

This is Kuinan's territory.

The arrangements that a Celestial God-level player has cultivated in his own backyard for several eras are certainly not something that newcomers like them can easily find a way to break.

The God of War Chariot is for viewing only, not for touching.

They are also unable to intercept soul energy.

The rest.

Naturally, the goal should be to kill them all before they kill each other! But this action is clearly against common sense.

Roger was indeed Slaughter Tyrant.

But he was not one to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

The Starry Sky God Race, being half-demons entangled in Aberrant Matter, are one thing.

He even hesitated a bit when it came to killing the Celestial Gods Race.

Not to mention the ordinary people on this continent.

Beya noticed Roger's inner conflict.

The latter suddenly said calmly:

"Go back to Mystra."

The implication couldn't be clearer.

Since Roger couldn't bear to do it.

Then let her do the killing!

As a king who ruled the Interseas and even the Quinan Eight Seas and most of the land with Blood Hand.

Beya is far more ruthless than Roger!

She did show a slight hesitation.

But I let it go quickly.

Roger was well aware of this as well.

Slaughtering the Ancient Desolate Continent is not a difficult task for Beya now.

Given her personality, she wouldn't feel too much psychological burden.

But he instinctively didn't want that to happen!

"Must..."

"There's an even better solution!"

"I wonder if the Sword of Order will work on Quinan's carriage?"

Roger began to ponder deeply.

It was at this moment.

Bai, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but interject:

"There are two other ways!"

"First, find Mystra's reincarnation as soon as possible. Once we help her regain some of her power, it will be much easier to interrupt the blood sacrifice ritual with her authority and power."

"Secondly, don't you have the Andes Copper Book?"

"Then let's contain the present world! Gods cannot be born in the Historical World."

At that time, Quinan will naturally back down...

Containing the present world?

Roger wasn't unaware of this method.

But not until the very last step.

He really doesn't want to use it! Let the present become history.

But it's just another cycle.

What's the point of all this?

His goal is to completely save the Twin Stars.

The Andes Copper Book is nothing more than a desperate measure to quench thirst.

in addition.

A strong instinct within him reminded him not to easily embrace the present world! If he did...

This could trigger an even greater disaster!

Roger didn't understand the underlying principle.

But he trusted his Sixth Sense!

As for the search for Mystra.

That's even more absurd.

Roger still hasn't figured out who looks remarkably like Mystra's reincarnation! The blood sacrifice is imminent.

I can't just leisurely go and ask someone if it's Mystra, can I? Thinking of this...

Roger couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The latter rolled his eyes without hesitation. "We have to think of a way, right?"

"Murder, search, containment..."

"Anyway, it's your decision."

She looked at Roger indifferently.

This guy really has a strong presence...

Roger couldn't help but complain in his mind.

In comparison.

Beya, at level 190, was much more low-key.

She simply looked at Roger with encouraging eyes:

"Make a decision."

"I support you."

The voice was incredibly gentle.

However, Roger didn't think about it too much.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "I choose..."

"Kill!"

"However, we need to change our approach to killing!"
