Travelers Win Over the Thunder God with Mortal Wishes; Raiden Shogun Ei Abolishes Both Decrees to Save Inazuma; King of Red Burns with Power to Subdue the Sea of Sand
"In order to combat ' Wear,' must we abandon all possibilities of moving forward?"
"Look! This is their 'wish'! This is Inazuma's true ' Eternity '!"
The Traveler's voice echoed throughout the entire Sanctuary of Oneness.
Electro General's eternally empty eyes finally stirred with intense emotion.
She saw it.
She saw a samurai who had lost his dreams and become despondent because of the Vision Hunt Decree.
She saw her relatives separated from their families and unable to see each other because of the Sakoku Decree.
She saw the entire country gradually losing its vitality under the oppressive atmosphere.
And her closest friends, those who have "Wear away" with time, did not show expressions of wishing her to remain stagnant.
What they hope to see is a better Inazuma that is constantly moving forward and changing!
"When--!"
The final exchange of fire.
The naginata in Electro General's hand flew out and stuck into the ground.
She lost.
She did not lose to the power of the Traveler, but to the "wishes" of her countless people whom she had sworn to protect.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the Traveler. For the first time, her empty eyes showed human emotions.
It was confusion, it was wavering, it was relief.
Ultimately, Raiden Shogun Ei was moved by the wishes of the crowd.
The image on the Light Screen cuts out from the Sanctuary of Oneness.
In front of the Tenshukaku, the incomparably majestic Electro General puppet slowly lost its lightning, and its movements came to a complete halt.
Immediately following, an imperial decree, powerful enough to shock the entire Inazuma, was issued from the Tenshukaku.
Effective immediately, the "Vision Hunt Decree" is abolished!
Effective immediately, the "Sakoku Decree" is abolished!
Boom--!!!
When those two lines of text appeared on the Light Screen, the entire audience of the Douluo Continent erupted in cheers!
"We won! We really won!" Xiao Xiao jumped up excitedly, her face flushed.
"That's wonderful! Those who lost their Vision can finally reclaim their dreams!" Tears welled up in Tang Ya's eyes as she recalled the pain of her sect being destroyed and her power being taken away, and she felt the pain deeply now.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and relief in each other's eyes.
"With a mortal body, gathering the wishes of mortals, and ultimately... changing the will of the gods," Bei Bei murmured. "This Traveler is truly remarkable."
He Caitou nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice, "This is even more exciting than me building a level 12 Soul Guidance Cannon!"
Both giants, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with simple, honest smiles.
"Good lad, you didn't let us down!"
"This is how humans should be! Even gods cannot ignore our will!"
Rong Nianbing's eyes were red-rimmed. He picked up his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed loudly, "That's great! That's wonderful! For the wishes of all living beings, let's raise a big toast!"
Ji Dong silently gazed at the Light Screen. Beside him, Lie Yan gently rested her head on his shoulder and softly said, "You see, even gods can be moved by genuine emotions. Change isn't always a bad thing."
Ji Dong nodded and gripped Lie Yan's hand tightly.
The two Deity, Chang Gongwei and Lei Xiang, remained silent at this moment.
As gods, they looked down upon the mortal realm and regarded Rules as everything.
But today, they witnessed a "change" in the Rules, pushed aside by mortals themselves.
"Shouldn't we... also reflect on this?" Lei Xiang's voice was somewhat hoarse.
After a long silence, Chang Gongwei slowly said, "Perhaps."
Within the Light Screen, with the repeal of the two bans, the entire Inazuma was plunged into a sea of revelry.
People cheered, embraced, and relit the Vision in their hands.
Those tiny, renewed lights, when gathered together, seemed even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
On the high platform, the real Thor, the Raiden Shogun Ei, emerged from the Sanctuary of Oneness. She silently watched the jubilant crowd below, watching this country that had been revitalized.
For the first time, a very faint smile appeared on her face.
That smile, like the first melting of ice and snow, carried the hope of embracing the future.
The scene was reflected in the Divine Gold pupils, and its voice was distant and profound.
"I see..."
"The answer to combating ' Wear ' is never to run away from it."
Instead, embrace change, and gather every fleeting wish into a never-ending river...
"This is the true ' Eternity '."
Its words plunged the Dragon Prince beside him into a long silence.
Looking at the jubilant mortals, he felt for the first time that these "ants" might actually be the true protagonists of this world.
On the Light Screen, the light swirled and danced, and the previous scene seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, slowly returning to silence.
In the Douluo God Realm and the vast star field, countless gazes still converge on this place, the shock in their hearts has not yet subsided.
[Review continues]
Four cold, impersonal words appeared, causing everyone's nerves to tense up once more.
Immediately afterwards, a brand new title slowly unfolded in the center of the Light Screen, the golden lettering carrying an ancient and sacred aura.
[The Past of Sumeru: The Golden Age of Triune Rule]
"Triple rule?"
In the God Realm Central, Tang San's brows furrowed instantly.
As God Realm Enforcer, holding the Asura God Seat, he deeply understands the importance of centralized power. If a world or a country has multiple supreme rulers, endless internal strife and conflict will inevitably arise due to differences in ideology.
"The Three Gods... do they refer to three beings at the level of main gods?" In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the Wheel of Fate quietly turned. He tried to glimpse the secrets behind these words, but only felt a sense of bewilderment.
Everything displayed on this Light Screen seemed to transcend his understanding of cause and effect.
The screen finally lit up.
It was an endless golden sea of sand, the scorching sun baking the earth, even the air was distorted by the high temperature.
In this desolate and deathly silence, a figure stood proudly.
He wore a majestic crown with the head of a beast, his crimson eyes burning with an inextinguishable flame, and his bare upper body was muscular and brimming with explosive power. Just by standing there, it seemed as if the Authority of the entire desert was concentrated in his body.
[The King of Red - Arhama]
[Conquer the desert with strength and Authority, and establish an immortal kingdom.]
The text beneath the Light Screen is concise yet domineering.
"What a powerful aura!"
Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, couldn't help but gasp in amazement as he felt the power that seemed capable of crushing the Sky Vault.
"This... this is the true king of power! Pure, ultimate, and beyond question!" Niu Tian, the incarnation of the Sky Azure Bull Python, also revealed deep apprehension in his eyes.
This force has surpassed their understanding of "force".
Emperor Dai Hao was deeply shaken.
As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, he saw in this King of Red an ultimate form of monarchical hegemony. To rule everything with absolute power—what a magnificent spirit!
However, the scene shifts.
On the edge of the golden desert, a vibrant oasis suddenly appears. Countless exotic flowers and plants, never before seen, sway in the wind, and clear springs gurgle, nourishing every inch of the land.
