Every Era Has Herrschers, Tang Wulin Laughed Until Tears Fell

Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion, all the elders stood up.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply, his Spiritual Eye seemingly trying to see through the truth behind the Light Screen.

"Alter Reality... Teacher, is this true?"

His voice was a little hoarse as he looked at Rong Nianbing beside him.

Rong Nianbing did not answer, but stared intently at the sky.

As the Creator of the God of Emotion, he understood better than anyone how difficult it is to "create something from nothing."

Creating emotions is already a skill beyond compare.

And what those so-called Herrscher want to create and modify is the entire "reality"!

Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao, and others were completely baffled.

Their understanding is still limited to Soul Skill, Martial Soul, and Soul Tool.

"Alter Reality... what does that mean? Does it mean like my third Soul Skill, stunning people?" Xu Sanshi asked subconsciously.

"No..." Bei Bei began with difficulty, "Sanshi, this isn't a concept. If what the Light Screen says is true, it means that the other party can make you... never have existed."

One sentence sent chills down everyone's spine.

Tang Ya's body trembled slightly, but Bei Bei caught her.

This has exceeded the limits of what they could even imagine.

The Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.

The Xue Ye slumped on his throne, his face ashen.

"Distorting... reality..."

He kept repeating those words to himself, his eyes vacant.

As Emperor, what he pursued was territory, Authority, and the unbroken lineage for ten thousand generations.

But now, an unheard-of "Herrscher" possesses the power to easily change all of this.

No, it's not a change.

It's a definition.

He can define whether your empire exists.

He can define whether your people survive.

He can even define whether you, the Great Emperor, are... human.

This sense of powerlessness aged the monarch, who had ruled a vast empire for many years, instantly.

Ning Tian, the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, standing beside him, also had a deathly pale face.

His father, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword Bone Douluo both devoted their lives to protecting their sect.

But such protection seems utterly ridiculous in the face of the Authority to "Alter Reality".

Dai Hao, the Iron-blooded Marshal of the Star Luo Empire, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

He spent his life in battle, confident that his army could crush any enemy.

But now, for the first time, he began to doubt the beliefs he had held throughout his life.

Is a large army... useful?

Faced with an entity capable of altering reality, a million-strong army might not even amount to a speck of dust.

The Divine Realm.

While the gods were still processing the terrifying impact of "Alter Reality," the next line of text on the Light Screen dealt them an even heavier blow.

[The arrival of the Herrscher signifies a global Honkai; their power can wipe out the surface of continents and even planets.]

A global... Honkai.

Erase the continents.

Even... the surface of the planet!

"Boom!"

In the minds of all the Deity, it was as if billions of stars were exploding simultaneously.

If "Alter Reality" is still just an abstract concept that fills them with awe and confusion.

Then "wiping out continents" and "wiping out the surface of a planet" are the most direct and bloody demonstrations of destructive power!

"One... can wipe out an entire continent?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in shock.

She inherited the position of the Nine-Colored Goddess and deeply understood the vastness and profoundness of a continent.

How vast is the Douluo Continent?

Hundreds of millions of living beings live on it.

Can the arrival of a Herrscher erase all of this?

This is not war, this is not disaster.

This is cleaning! This is formatting!

Tang San's face darkened completely.

He thought of Sea God Island, Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy, and everything he cherished.

Faced with such power, all the Order and protection he had established were as fragile as a piece of paper.

"The surface of the planet..."

Tian Hen, the Qilin God King from Other World, had a look of utter horror in his eyes.

He once risked becoming an enemy of the entire Divine Realm to protect his home.

A single Herrscher can accomplish something even the Divine Realm have never done—completely destroy the ecosystem of a planet.

"What immense power..."

Even Hai Long, another powerful God King, couldn't help but sigh.

These God King, when they unleash their full power, can indeed shatter planets.

The word used on the Light Screen was "erase".

This word is more like gently erasing a part of a painting with an eraser.

It is light and carefree, yet it carries with it an ultimate sense of despair and destruction.

"How... how are we supposed to fight like this?"

Niu Tian and Tai Tan, the two former kings of the forest, now Deity, were speechless.

They dedicated their lives to fighting for the survival space of Soul Beast.

But now it seems that their efforts are so insignificant in the face of real natural disasters.

Let alone a single group of Soul Beast, even if all the Soul Beast and humans on the entire Douluo Continent were tied together, they wouldn't be enough for a Herrscher to crush with a single finger.

despair.

An unprecedented despair began to spread in the God Heart.

However, the Light Screen seemed to think that wasn't enough.

It lit up the last, and most fatal, line of text.

[Furthermore, each civilization era has multiple Herrscher.]

Several...

Each era...

If before it was merely despair, now even despair itself has been stripped away.

It was a sense of Nihility in the face of endless cycles of reincarnation and never-ending catastrophe.

"Not just one... and not even a one-time use one?"

Huo Yuhao felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He recalled all the hardships he had endured, and all the efforts he had made to protect Shrek, Tang Sect, and Douluo Continent.

So, the era they fought so hard to protect was, on a higher level, merely an "era" waiting to be harvested by the "Herrscher"?

And there's more than one such predator?

"Hahaha..."

Tang Wulin suddenly chuckled softly, his laughter filled with bitterness and self-mockery.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

He devoted almost his entire life to fighting against the Abyss, even being separated from his beloved for ten thousand years.

He thought he was facing the greatest malice in the world.

But now it seems that the Abyss and the holy ruler are like children playing compared to this "Herrscher".

The Abyss only wants to devour.

The Herrscher, however, is here to destroy.

And they came in waves.

Never-ending.

"This is the real... true terror."

Chang Gongwei, the former God King of Light, spoke with an extremely heavy tone.

These God King, in their own world, are heaven, are the Tao.

But now, they are seeing a higher level of "natural disaster".

A systemic, periodic cosmic catastrophe designed to "filter" civilization.

"That's interesting."

The Dragon God, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
