The Scarlet King traded places with the Grass Dragon King to open the World Barrier, and the glorious nation became a Dead Domain
"This knowledge... is very dangerous." Huo Yuhao's face turned pale, and his Sea of Consciousness was frantically issuing warnings.
"This has already exceeded the scope of Divine Power," the Dragon God's voice resounded in a deep tone, carrying an unprecedented solemnity, "This is a kind of 'poison' that does not belong to this world."
What happened next made all the Dragon Clan stare wide-eyed.
The Scarlet King ventured deep underground and found a colossal dragon of unimaginable size. The dragon was entirely emerald green, its body Entanglement the roots of plants, and its aura was ancient and powerful.
In order to obtain power sufficient to defy the laws of Heavenly Principles, the Scarlet King made a deal with his former rival, the Grass Dragon King Apep.
He will sacrifice the future of the entire kingdom in exchange for the Grass Dragon King's help to open the barrier to the outside world.
"The Grass Dragon King?!" the Dragon Prince exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of dragon is this? Why have I never heard of it before? Its power... is incredible!"
The two powerful beastmen Niu Tian and Tai Tan, exchanged bewildered glances. The life force emanating from the Grass Dragon King was even more vast than that of the Life Ancient Tree, yet it was mixed with a trace of decay and resentment.
"Open the World Barrier? What does he want to do?" Tian Hen said in shock.
"He wants to introduce power that doesn't belong to the Teyvat Continent!" A'Dai Mandun, each word distinct, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "He wants to use external power to fight against the ' Heavenly Principles ' of this world!"
Madman!
A complete madman!
This was the shared thought of all the god-level powerhouses present.
To resurrect a lover, one must drag the entire world down with them, introducing unknown terrors and defying the supreme Laws!
This kind of crazy behavior is simply unheard of!
[Boom--!!!]
With a loud bang, the sky appeared to be torn open with a dark rift.
Beyond the rift lies a deep, chaotic, and indescribable Void.
Immediately afterwards, streams of grayish-black "knowledge," seemingly possessing life, surged in from the crack like a flood.
They pollute the earth and erode living beings.
In the desert, the once prosperous kingdom began to undergo strange changes. Gray fungi grew on people's bodies, buildings were covered with twisted vines, and gray snow began to fall from the sky.
The whole world is wailing.
"This is... the price of Forbidden Knowledge..." Chang Gongwei's voice was hoarse.
"For the sake of Nihility resurrection, he has allowed his people to fall into such a state... He is no longer a king, he is a tyrant!" Lei Xiang said angrily.
However, Tang San shook his head.
No, you don't understand.
His gaze was fixed on the screen, on the Scarlet King bathed in a torrent of Forbidden Knowledge.
The Scarlet King spread his arms, letting the gray-black power surge into his body. His body twisted and deformed, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, terrifyingly so.
There was no pain there, only the exhilaration of impending revenge and destructive madness.
"When a person loses everything, the so-called people, the so-called kingdom, and the so-called responsibility all become meaningless."
Tang San's voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
"In his world, the Flower God is everything. When the Flower God dies, his world is destroyed. Now, all he has to do is... drag the entire world down with him to be buried with his lover."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Scarlet King in the picture slowly raised his head.
His eyes were no longer their original crimson gold.
One eye turned a deep, dark black, as if it could devour all light.
The other eye burned with eerie crimson Lie Yan.
He was no longer the majestic yet gentle desert Monarch.
He became the embodiment of taboo and madness.
[The war against the laws of Heavenly Principles begins here.]
The narration ended, but the video continued.
The camera begins to zoom out, revealing that the gray-black "Forbidden Knowledge," like a plague, is spreading from the Scarlet King's kingdom to the entire Teyvat Continent.
The sky was dyed an ominous dark red.
The earth is cracking.
A catastrophe that will sweep the world has begun.
The root of all this was simply because a King could not accept the death of his beloved.
[A List of the Top Ten Show-Offs in Myriad Worlds]
A golden Light Screen slowly swirled in the Void, its ancient characters radiating a chilling pressure.
Countless powerful beings from different worlds held their breath, their gazes fixed intently on the Light Screen.
The shock of the last review has not yet completely dissipated, and a new chapter is about to be unveiled.
On the Light Screen, streams of light converged, and a brand new line of large characters slowly emerged.
Douluo God Realm.
Tang San's brows furrowed instantly.
"Forbidden Knowledge?"
He spoke softly, his azure eyes filled with solemnity. As the God King, he understood better than anyone the power that "knowledge" itself could contain.
Some knowledge is indeed a forbidden zone that cannot be touched.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who were standing beside him, looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and curiosity.
"A list of the kings of showing off? How could such a list come up?" Zhou Weiqing grinned, naturally wary of such destructive terms.
"Just keep watching and you'll find out." Rong Nianbing crossed her arms, and the God of Emotion ' expression turned serious.
The scene begins.
It was a kingdom of unparalleled splendor, where city-states built of gold and jade shone brightly in the desert, like a divine miracle.
A Monarch wearing a crown shaped like an eagle and a crimson robe held aloft his Scepter, receiving the worship of his people.
He is the Scarlet King.
A great, proud, and inquisitive Monarch.
The scene shifts, and the Scarlet King appears in the depths of space, having crossed the Abyss of darkness to bring a "gift".
A piece of "Forbidden Knowledge" from outside the world.
He believed he had brought back wisdom and Authority, a gospel that would lead the kingdom to Eternity.
But he was wrong.
A cold narration begins, and the magnificent kingdom depicted in the scene starts to show its first ominous signs.
A desolate, gray area appeared out of nowhere in the oasis.
In that area, all the plants withered instantly, animals collapsed and died, and the Breath of Life was completely sucked away.
This area was named the "Dead Domain".
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.
His Divine Power allows him to perceive all things and sense emotions, but the feeling he gets from that "Dead Domain" in the picture is pure "nothingness".
It is not death, but a higher-level "concept erasure".
"What... what kind of power is this?" Tang Wutong beside him couldn't help but exclaim, her voice trembling slightly.
Huo Yuhao didn't answer, because he didn't know either.
All he knew was that if such a thing appeared in his world, his Spiritual Eye would be useless.
