Three Great Deceptions Revealed: The World is a Ranch? The Devourer Stole the Fruits of Phanes' Victory!

"This unknown deity, let's temporarily call him the 'Savior'. At the cost of self-sacrifice, he prevented the complete destruction of the world, stabilizing it in a 'half-finished' state."

"However, his sacrifice also left him incredibly weak, possibly even falling into slumber, or... perishing."

"And this gave another existence an opportunity." Tang San's gaze swept over everyone, "That 'Devourer'. It might not possess the supreme authority of creation and restoration like the 'Savior', but it seized this once-in-a-lifetime chance. It occupied this world that was saved, yet was incredibly fragile."

"The order left by the 'Savior' was like a cage, both protecting this world from immediate collapse and trapping all living beings within it."

"And the 'Devourer' became the warden of this cage. It could not, or rather, was unwilling to repair this world, because a healthy world could not provide 'food' for it. So it did the opposite, within the framework of order established by the 'Savior', it continuously created disasters, spawned monsters, and distorted laws."

"Its goal was to keep this world perpetually in the state of a 'living hell'. To make all living beings struggle in endless fear, despair, and pain, thereby extracting the most 'delicious' Life and Spiritual Energy for itself."

Tang San's words revealed to everyone a tragic and cruel scroll of divine succession spanning across eternity.

A compassionate hero, sacrificing his life to save the world.

A despicable thief, however, usurped its place, turning the saved world into its own ranch.

"That bastard!" Niu Tian could no longer hold back, roaring in anger. The terrifying aura caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"Shameless scoundrel stealing the fruits of victory!" Titan was equally furious.

Hai Long, Tian Hen, Ye Yinzhu, Zi... the strong ones from different worlds felt the same emotion at this moment. It was regret and admiration for the hero, and boundless anger towards the thief.

Chang Gongwei slowly stood up and bowed deeply towards the broken yet majestic figure on the light screen.

His bow represented the inner voice of all the righteous strong individuals present.

"We must know his name." A'Dai (Mandun) said in his characteristic, emotionless tone, but everyone could hear the solemnity in it.

Just then, below the frozen image on the light screen, a line of golden ancient text slowly appeared.

[Phanes]

[First Throne, King of the Sky, using himself as an anchor point, suppressing the abyss, and reshaping the World Cornerstone.]

Phanes.

First Throne.

King of the Sky.

These few words contained unimaginable weight.

"Phanes..." Huo Yuhao murmured the name, as if imprinting it onto his soul. So, his name was Phanes.

"First Throne..." Tang San's gaze was solemn. Since there was a first, it implied...

Before his thoughts could complete, the image on the light screen suddenly changed again.

The figure named Phanes, along with the line of golden text, slowly dissipated like a dream bubble. In its place was a vast and boundless scorched earth.

The sky was a weird dark red, the earth cracked, and everywhere were vitrified crystals, as if it had been burned by some unimaginable high temperature. The entire world was filled with an aura of death and finality, a graveyard after the war, where even the wails had faded.

In the scene, Phanes' figure reappeared. He looked extremely exhausted, and the robe made of light on his body had dimmed considerably, but he still walked on this scorched earth, as if patrolling, or as if searching for something.

Everyone held their breath, not understanding what this "Savior" was still looking for on this ruin after saving the world.

Finally, he stopped.

In front of him, a skeleton of unimaginable size lay quietly in the rift of the earth.

It was the skeleton of a dragon.

But it was different from any dragon known to the people of the Douluo God Realm. Its bones were a deep, dark purple that seemed to swallow all light, and at the joints of each bone, visible energy, like black lightning, seemed to leap.

This was not divine power, nor elemental power, but a more ancient, more chaotic power, filled with destruction and an ominous aura.

Just looking at this skeleton through the light screen made all the dragons present feel a shiver and repulsion from the depths of their bloodline.

"This is..." The Dragon God's majestic voice fluctuated for the first time, his golden pupils suddenly contracted, staring intently at the skeleton.

As the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, he could clearly sense that although the skeleton was dragon-shaped, its life essence was completely different from his own and from all the dragons he had created. It was a being of a higher status, yet one that had gone in a completely opposite direction.

Gu Yuena's silver hair fluttered without wind. She felt not repulsion, but a strange attraction, as if the power contained within the skeleton had resonated faintly with something within her. This made her vigilant, and she immediately cut off this sensation.

Just as everyone was in shock and uncertainty, new golden text appeared again below the light screen.

[After Phanes stabilized the ley lines, on the scorched earth of the final battlefield of the Throne War, he found the dragon skeleton left behind after the Second Throne Nibelungen was annihilated, possessing the Descender Status and containing the power of the endless Abyss.]

This segment of immense information made everyone's brain buzz.

"Second Throne!"

"Nibelungen!"

"Descender Status?"

"Abyss Power... Dragon Skeleton!"

Countless exclamations erupted, each word like a heavy hammer, striking fiercely at everyone's hearts.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Tang San's eyes opened and closed, divine radiance shining, "I understand! Everything makes sense now!"

His voice drew everyone's attention.

"That 'Devourer', that thief who stole Phanes' Fruits of Victory, its Source of Power is this!" Tang San pointed at the skeleton named Nibelungen in the light screen.

"Throne War... this was clearly a war between deities. 'First Throne' Phanes defeated 'Second Throne' Nibelungen. However, Phanes, in order to save the world, exhausted his strength, even using himself as an Anchor Point to suppress the world."

Huo Yuhao immediately followed his train of thought, his voice icy: "And that 'Devourer', it might not have been powerful itself, perhaps even an insignificant existence. But it discovered a tremendous treasure--the remains of a fallen Throne!"
