A long sword swept through the void.
Four rings slowly tumbled through the air, striking the sharp blade one after another.
Like fragile bubbles, the four rings split apart in turn, swallowed completely by the Sword Aura on the blade.
The King's Ring and the Guardian's Ring vanished forever, leaving behind only the names of things that had once existed in the history of the Divine Scions.
Silence fell for an instant.
An invisible force spread from the void, sweeping across the entire world.
The gods' oath had been broken!
Soul Calming Village would soon reappear in the Nine Hundred Million Layer World!
"No!"
The God of Life's despairing, furious cry rang out across the world.
But it was no use. Everything had become inevitable.
—Within the dark Void Turbulence, a gigantic creature unfurled its body.
It had six arms and two faces, and stood dozens of stories tall. Dignified, ashen flames coiled around its entire body.
The Soul Screamer.
It had waited a very long time—for the chance to kill that prey.
Just moments ago, it had finally sensed a strange, faint tremor in the void.
What was it?
Slowly, it looked in the direction of Soul Calming Village.
"Hiding... there?"
The Soul Screamer murmured, its body shuddering as it flew toward Soul Calming Village.
Meanwhile,
Gu Qingshan put away the Earth Sword and stirred his thoughts.
A glimmer of light took shape inside him, then leaped gracefully into his palm, forming a coin-shaped design of gold and silver.
This was the Earth Coin, the symbol of the Land of the Four Saint Pillars.
At the same time, lines of prompts appeared on the God of War Interface:
"The Master of the Earth Pillar, choose the power you wish to activate."
"Available powers: True Luck, Prohibition, Protection."
