Exposing the Descenders' Innate Status: Survivors of a World's Destruction Wander, While Zhou Weiqing Says, "Born as the World"
"What exactly is this inventory trying to tell us?" Dai Mubai muttered to himself. "Is it warning us that five enemies capable of destroying everything are quietly growing in some corner?"
Tang Sect.
Sect Leader Tang Ya stared at the Light Screen, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"The power of the Abyss..."
This word triggered her deepest nightmares.
Remembrance of being controlled by Evil Soul Master and falling into darkness surged back like a tide.
She could sense that the "Abyss" described on the Light Screen was a billion times purer and more terrifying than any evil force she had ever encountered!
The two kings of the forest, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, gazed at the sky beside the Lake of Life, their enormous eyes filled with terror.
They had protected the Star Dou Great Forest for hundreds of thousands of years, and had never felt such clear malice directed at the entire world.
It was as if an invisible pair of eyes were coldly scrutinizing this continent, pondering where to begin "devouring" it.
Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke and the Iron-blooded Marshal of the Star Luo Empire, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
He spent his life on the battlefield, witnessing countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But no war can compare to the "disaster" described on the Light Screen.
That was not a war between nations.
That is the opposition between "life" and "death".
Just as the entire Douluo Star, and even Myriad Worlds, were plunged into panic and turmoil because of this message.
The golden light on the Light Screen shifted once more.
The suffocating text slowly faded away.
Instead, a new, more specific, and more unsettling headline appeared.
[The Five Great Sinners, and the Five Candidates for ' Descender '.]
They are walking natural disasters, the Finality of the world.
[Now, let's begin our review of the first one--]
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
First place!
Are we finally about to reveal the true nature of these monsters?
On the Light Screen, golden strokes danced and swirled, outlining a word filled with mockery and madness.
The afterglow of the Light Screen had not yet completely dissipated, and the gods and the powerful figures of the Douluo Continent were still immersed in the massive information shock brought about by the previous round of reviews.
The entire space was silent as everyone digested those revolutionary insights.
Just then, the huge Light Screen lit up again, and golden words appeared like flowing water, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
These two simple lines of text are like two giant stones thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves.
"The Descender?" Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, his eyes filled with curiosity. This wasn't the first time they had heard this term.
This identity was mentioned when we previously reviewed the blonde Traveler.
But what does it actually represent? A title? A status? Or... a level of life?
Everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.
[The Descender: "Outsiders" to the world, whose fate is not Binding by the Rules of the Teyvat World.]
[Its status is extremely high, enough to rival the world itself.]
These two short sentences caused God King Tang San's pupils to shrink abruptly.
To contend with the world itself!
What a terrifying concept this is!
Even he, as God Realm Enforcer, merely followed the Rules of the universe and maintained its operation; he never thought of "confronting" a world.
"This... how is this possible?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, the light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flickering uneasily behind her.
In her view, Deity are the ultimate goal that mortals look up to, but the concept of "Descender" clearly transcends the realm of gods.
Ignoring the crowd's shock, the Light Screen continued to display new content.
There are two ways to become Descender.
[Firstly: Those born with this status are extraordinary, unique, and both darlings and variables of the universe.]
"Born that way?" Zhou Weiqing stroked his chin, his expression turning serious. "So, some people are born standing at the pinnacle of countless worlds?"
This inherent injustice made him, Heavenly Bead Master had climbed up the ranks through his own efforts, feel a sense of absurdity.
[Secondly: Those who are promoted later in life.]
[When a world faces its final destruction, if Survivor can carry the last hope of their homeland and the remnants of their world, they can escape from the flames of annihilation...]
[Wandering in the endless universe, tempered in solitude and despair, washing away the karma of the Old World, enduring the rejection of the new world, ultimately, one may gain the qualification of "Descender".]
This passage carries an indescribable sense of tragedy and desolation.
The entire space was deathly silent.
Survivor of the world's destruction...
Carrying the ruins and hopes of their hometown...
Wandering in the universe...
Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart hard.
Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly, and a deep sorrow appeared in her silver eyes.
The destruction of the Dragon Clan and the upheavals in the Divine Realm made her understand the pain of a shattered homeland better than anyone else.
But compared to what is depicted on the Light Screen, the tragedy of the Dragon Clan seems insignificant.
That was... a complete world!
"Bearing the wreckage of a world..." Tang Wulin clenched his fists, golden Dragon Scale faintly visible beneath his skin, and he could clearly feel the deep sorrow emanating from Gu Yuena's heart.
He couldn't imagine what a heavy burden it must have been, or what a powerful will it must have taken to sustain a living being.
"A'Dai..." Ye Yinzhu looked at the Holy Archmage beside her and called out softly.
A'Dai 'Mandun eyes are distant and profound. He has experienced the transformation from God of Death to Creation God. He has destroyed and created with his own hands.
"Such beings cannot be simply described as powerful." A'Dai's voice was soft, yet it carried a profound understanding of their very nature. "Their souls were forged from the death of an entire world."
Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They recalled how Blazing Lie Yan had sacrificed himself to save the Eastern Wood Empire; that resolute and tragic act seemed to resonate with a distant echo of the descriptions given by these post- Descender.
"To be destroyed in order to protect, and to be reborn from destruction..." Lie Yan sighed softly, "What a contradictory yet magnificent existence this is."
Just as everyone was deeply moved by the definition of the "Descender," the image on the Light Screen suddenly changed.
It was a dazzling Sea of Stars.
The civilization, composed of countless stars, was far more prosperous than the Douluo God Realm, and even surpassed the imagination of everyone present.
Enormous starships, like Leviathan Great Beasts, traversed the galaxy, while cities floated above planetary orbits, radiating a seven-colored halo.
This is a super civilization that has already left its mark on the stars and the sea.
He Caitou and Ning Tian were dumbfounded. Their proud Soul Tool Technology was like a child's toy in the face of this civilization.
"My God... this... is this interstellar civilization?" He Caitou's voice trembled.
