After This, There Would Be No Gods in the World! The Mortal World Would Return to Mortals!!

Between the clouds above Federation Headquarters.

An old man in gray stood suspended in the air, holding a pure silver casket as he looked down upon the land of the East Continent.

The old man was Du Jingzhe, who had just announced their victory.

At this moment, the external enemy—the Sea Clan—and the internal unrest—Ashen Dawn—had both been resolved. The Forbidden Domain that had hung over everyone's heads had also been successfully shut down, along with the general amnesty and tax reductions...

With all these effects combined, the Federation's fortune had reached its peak!

The clouds spread beneath Du Tianming's feet like a vast white carpet.

He stood atop the sea of clouds, his gray robes snapping loudly in the fierce wind.

Those aged, profound eyes looked down upon the Federation below.

Cheering crowds filled every city, celebratory cannons burst into trails of colored smoke overhead, and joy and cheers could be heard everywhere.

This prosperous age entranced Du Tianming. "My Federation..."

The low words were torn apart by the wind. He gently stroked the [Zeroing Casket], but his gaze grew increasingly cold.

"The Federation has won, but the gods... have yet to leave the stage!"

No one knew whether the gods he spoke of were the taboo Evil Gods, the Pioneers, or both.

"There should be no gods in the human world."

As his words fell, Du Tianming suddenly straightened his hunched back. His gaze became like a blazing sun that would burn everything away—fierce and resolute!

He raised the [Zeroing Casket] high, his voice booming like a great bell.

"Today! In the name of Du Jingzhe, Chairman of the Federation, I sacrifice the fortune of the East Continent Federation to burn away this false divine authority!"

His voice pierced the void, carrying the tragic resolve to perish together!
