One month later.
More than a month had passed since the defeat of the Strange Entity Clan.
All continents of the Human Race are ready to face this battle.
"Final meeting."
Zhong Yi's voice resounded in the ears of Continent Lord.
"After Hades' return."
"We are absolutely invincible."
This Heavenly Chasm City Wall is connected to heaven and Heaven and Earth; it will not break as long as Heaven and Earth and earth remain intact. All continents share this defense, giving us an absolute advantage in the first instance of contact. We have already maximized our defensive capabilities.
"The rest are attack methods."
"Proceed as planned."

Standing on the City Wall of the Eternal Night Continent, Chen Fan let out a long breath and looked into the distance with a slightly nervous expression. He had never seen the Hades's True Form in person before, and this time he would face the Hades directly.
Jiu Wu has already retreated back underground.
This battle.
This will be the ultimate battle between the Human Race and the Strange Entity Clan.
at the same time.
On a certain Sea Domain in the Boundary Battlefield, the pitch-black Heavenly Punishment Continent was moving much slower than before. At a glance, the City Wall were almost broken into pieces, and black smoke filled the ground, clearly indicating that it was at its last gasp.
Deep underground.
In a vast, dark space.
A faint White Light appeared on the Screen.
Ice-Cold, emotionless mechanical voice echoed in the space.
"This is Command Post No. 001, Yaoguang."
"Final self-check."
" The Heavenly Punishment Continent suffered 78% damage."
"Unable to provide full thrust; resources remaining: 3.11%."
"Estimated survival time: Incense Stick."
"This is the last time I'll make a win rate prediction."
The Human Race's victory rate was 62.67%.
"Remaining resources have reached the warning line; the Human King Cannon is about to be activated."
The next moment, Yaoguang's voice suddenly resounded in the ears of all the Continent Lord of the Human Race.
"This is Yaoguang."
"Since the end of the Second Dark Turmoil, Yaoguang has worked with you all for 30,081 years."
Thank you all for your Trust.
"Based on the highest implantation Access Rights, Yaoguang is about to activate the Human King Cannon to deliver the final blow."
"Prior to this, the Heavenly Punishment Continent has moved as far away from the ' Heavenly Chasm Stone Wall ' as possible. It is estimated that the Hades will arrive at the foot of the Stone Wall in six hours."
I hope everyone is prepared.
" The Yaoguang will soon fade into silence."
" The Strange Entity Clan will eventually turn to dust."
The Heavenly Punishment Continent slowly came to a stop, ceasing its escape.
One by one, all the buildings on the continental surface began to melt, turning into black dust.
The black light emanating from countless dust particles slowly condensed in the air into an " Ultimate Cannon."
Hades, who had also stopped, looked at the "giant cannon" formed of pitch-black light above the Heavenly Punishment Continent. He didn't flinch, but simply said softly, "It really exists."
On the previous occasions when he wanted to leave.
He could always sense a threatening aura locking onto him from the " Heavenly Punishment Continent." Whenever he turned to flee, he would be successfully locked onto. He had wondered if the Heavenly Punishment Continent was just putting on an act, since he didn't believe there was anyone in this Heaven and Earth who could threaten him.
But at this moment...
I saw it with my own eyes.
Only after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from this massive black cannon did he realize that the Heavenly Punishment Continent truly possessed methods that could threaten him.
He knew about the " Ultimate Cannon ".
The unique methods of the Ninth-Level Continent are powerful because their effectiveness depends on the level and power of all the Defensive Structure on that continent. The more Defensive Structure a continent has, and the higher their level, the greater their power.
The Defensive Structure on the Heavenly Punishment Continent are numerous, and they are all Level 90.
If he felt even a slight threat, something else must have been added.
"That's more like it."
Hades did not dodge, but remained suspended between Heaven and Earth, looking at the rapidly solidifying giant cannon in front of him with a smile in his eyes. He regarded Zhao Tianfa as his opponent. If Zhao Tianfa was too weak, it would make him seem weak as well.
We have to give something in return.
Only then can his strength be proven.
The giant cannon was very powerful.
The next moment, an extremely dense, pitch-black Golden Light Pillar, almost swallowing all the light in the Heaven and Earth, erupted from the muzzle of the " Ultimate Cannon " and enveloped him directly, emanating a terrifying aura that made it difficult to breathe.
Hades stands suspended between Heaven and Earth.
His body did not move.
The scarlet robe that had been draped behind him suddenly billowed up in the wind, protecting him as he was enveloped by the dark Golden Light Pillar.
Several dozen breaths later.
The dark Golden Light Pillar dissipated.
Hades snapped his fingers, and endless darkness transformed into a serpent from within him, hurtling towards the Heavenly Punishment Continent.
"Not bad."
Rumble.
This continent, representing the strongest fighting force of the Human Race, shattered almost instantly, sank into the Seabed, and disappeared never to be seen again.
Then.
After glancing around, Hades transformed into Gilded Light and shot towards the " Strange Entity Main Camp."
Unharmed.
The scarlet robe that fluttered in the wind behind him was not damaged in the slightest.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
at this time.
On the Heavenly Chasm Stone Wall, hundreds of thousands of continents are carrying out the final work. Even though they have actually checked every place they can and integrated all the resources they can in the past month, they have received a six-hour countdown from " Yaoguang ".
People couldn't help but tense up again.
Few people have actually seen Hades.
When it comes to actually facing this legendary figure head-on, it's inevitable to feel some fear.
Just then, the noise vanished instantly.
Almost simultaneously, everyone held their breath and looked at the Jade Pivot Screen beside them. Hades... had arrived.
It wasn't six hours.
Instead...
A moment.
The moment Yaoguang made his announcement, Hades arrived.
Its speed was so fast that the continents didn't even have time to warn them. By the time they discovered it, it was already in front of them. If it weren't for the " Heavenly Chasm Stone Wall " that could prevent all teleportation, they even suspected that Hades could have entered the center of the Stone Wall at any time.
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, leaning on his Jadeite Staff with both hands, his face expressionless as he stared straight ahead at Hades, who was suspended in front of him.
Hades appeared outside the Mortal Domain City Wall.
She was smiling as she turned her head to look at him.
He felt a vague sense of unease.
"The data for Yaoguang is not something that comes out of thin air. The six-hour countdown is based on the usual speed of Hades. If it were an hour or two earlier, it would be said that Hades was eager to return home."
But at this moment...
In the time it takes to breathe nearly a hundred breaths, Hades returned.
This speed far exceeds what Hades should be able to do. If Hades had this speed, he could abandon the Heavenly Punishment Continent at any time and rush back to the Main Battlefield, without having to watch the Strange Entity Clan be wiped out.
wrong.
unless...
Unless Hades has a way to quickly return to his Headquarters.
Their plan encountered an unexpected problem right from the very first step.
"You are Chen Fan."
Hades stood suspended between Heaven and Earth, his hands empty and without any weapon, his arms crossed, his scarlet robe fluttering in the gale behind him. Though his words were a question, his tone did not sound like one.
The look on his face at that moment.
It was like visiting an old friend.
Chen Fan carefully observed Hades; this was the first time he had looked directly at Hades.
barefoot.
It's so cold, aren't you afraid of getting frostbite?
"We've met before in the Soul Land; this isn't our first meeting."
"Well."
Hades sighed deeply, "I originally wanted to keep this a secret, after all, it's one of the few stains on my life. Actually, we can pretend this is our first meeting."
"Of the remaining Human Race..."
You barely qualify as my opponent.
"Let's get to know each other first."
"Let's tell each other's stories, and then we'll appreciate each other's kindness before I pierce your heart."
"I'll take your life."
"I will annihilate your Human Race."

Chen Fan stared blankly at Hades. He felt the Jade Pivot Screen in his arms trembling slightly; it was a message from Zhong Yi, probably telling him how to speak, but he didn't have time to look at it now.
Hades was tens of meters away from him.
The sense of oppression it brought was quite great.
No shots were fired.
They're still just talking.
"You talk too much. You shouldn't be such a talkative person, unless you're going through a very difficult emotional phase right now."
"Ah!"
Hades suddenly laughed, hands on his hips. "You have a good eye for people."
"Really."
"You know what? I can't wait to see your reaction."
"I can't help but laugh just thinking about what I'm going to say."
"Furthermore, the Heaven Gate Fated War is about to begin, and I'm about to fulfill my greatest wish in this life. There are just too many good things to come; I can't help but get excited just thinking about them."
Do you want to guess why I'm so happy?
"Hmm..."
Hades pointed to the City Wall beneath the Eternal Night Continent: "You Human Race have erected such an extremely sturdy City Wall, and you're still so happy about it."
Just then, " Hades!"
A heart-wrenching, agonizing scream suddenly echoed from the Mortal Domain City Wall.
Qi An had somehow climbed onto the City Wall, knelt on both knees, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted in agony as he roared.
" The Strange Entity Clan is extinct."
" The Hades's 108 Guards, Frontline commander Fei Yu, logistics commander Sky Patrol, Shield Mountain Wraith Chief General, Heaven-Shrouding Strange Entity Chief General, and all other Strange Entities have perished in battle!"
"The former Frontline commander Qi An."
"Lying dormant in the Mortal Domain, preparing for a grander plan."
"Announcing this to the world today."
"I, Qi An, am not a traitor."
"Forever loyal to Hades, forever loyal to the Strange Entity Clan."
"I'd rather die than regret it."
"Death is inevitable today, but Qi An will die as the Frontline leader of the Strange Entity Clan."
He finished speaking.
The City Wall became extremely quiet.
Qi An closed his eyes. He knew he was going to die. In the Mortal Domain realm, saying those words was already a death sentence. Mortal Domain wanted to kill him, even the Hades couldn't stop him. After all, he knew that the City Wall beneath him was connected to heaven and Heaven and Earth and would not break within a year.
He did not disclose this information.
He simply wanted Hades to know that he would always be loyal to the Strange Entity Clan, even if it meant his death.
Chen Fan glanced back at Qi An, his eyes showing little emotion.
In the corner.
Yun Du stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Qi An's back. He had always known that Qi An was stubborn, but he hadn't expected him to be this stubborn. At this moment, showing loyalty would definitely mean certain death.
It's no use who comes.
In an instant.
The Heaven and Earth became extremely quiet, and no one spoke.
"Hmm..."
After a moment, Hades looked at Qi An with some emotion. " Qi An, right? I don't really understand why you're keeping your grand plan dormant. So far, I haven't seen your grand plan."
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
Chen Fan.
Hades turned his head to look at Chen Fan again, and couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh again. I've read a lot of human Storybook, and in human Storybook, the main villain always talks a lot of nonsense when he's about to win, and then gets killed."
I didn't understand before.
"I can really empathize with that now."
"If you can come up with a way to kill me while I'm spouting nonsense, then I'll accept it."
"You consider yourself wise and resourceful, do you think that I, as the king of the Strange Entity Clan, as the king of Heaven and Earth, am only good for brute force, what..."
I have no idea.
"Just watch the Strange Entity Clan perish?"
"What if..."
"Let me tell you, the destruction of the Strange Entity Clan was part of my plan."
"I've made many preparations for the ' Heaven Gate Fated War '."
One of the preparations was to " Forge the Entire Clan into One."
"When ninety percent of the Strange Entity Clan dies, my strength will increase dramatically."
"When 99% of the Strange Entity Clan dies, their strength will experience an extremely terrifying increase."
"If 99.9% of the clan members die..."
I will be invincible.
"Now."
Do you still dare to look me in the eye?
The air suddenly became extremely quiet. The Crippled Monkey and the others standing behind Chen Fan froze in place, somewhat incredulous.
Chen Fan remained silent.
Even his expression remained completely unchanged.
Hades smiled again.
He stared into Chen Fan's eyes and smiled.
"You know, I really enjoy seeing the despair on my opponent's face. It's a shame I didn't see Zhao Tianfa's despair, and you've made up for that perfectly."
"Although you seem extremely calm now."
But let me guess.
"Your heart might not be at peace, right?"
"Having exhausted all our strength and resources, we finally annihilated the ' Strange Entity Clan.' We were just one step away from completely declaring victory in this war, and the Human Race could become the masters of the Heaven and Earth, but this final step..."
"I just found out."
"Your desperate efforts to annihilate the Strange Entity Clan will only make me even more terrifying."
Do you want to cry?
"Are you feeling a little like crying?"
The Human Race did not fire.
Hades did not intervene.
The first formal contact between the two sides was extremely harmonious, and from a distance, it even looked like old friends meeting and chatting happily.
I guess this isn't part of your plan.
Chen Fan suddenly spoke up.
The voice even carried a hint of cold sneer, "You just watched helplessly as the Strange Entity Clan was wiped out, and then you happened to discover that your strength had increased. You don't know what it is, but to save face, you attributed it to your own plan."
"If you really have such means."
"Why didn't you slaughter your own people and Forge the Entire Clan into One before the Third Dark Turmoil began?"
"Isn't this safer?"
"You clearly know that the Human Race has the potential to advance to the Tenth-Level Continent, aren't you Human Race after the Strange Entity Clan, they will advance to the Tenth-Level Continent?"
"So that your plans will be thwarted?"
Hades ' smile gradually froze, and his gaze towards Chen Fan carried a hint of Ice-Cold.
"Recognizing your opponent is a virtue that a strong person should possess."
"Mocking someone on their deathbed doesn't make you any more noble."
"You should approve of my plan and pay me your respects."
"Just like I acknowledge that you are qualified to be my opponent."
" The Third Dark Turmoil."
"I have devised two plans, both of which aim to defeat the Human Race and initiate the Heaven Gate Fated War."
"The only difference is that the former brought the Strange Entity Clan along, while the latter I faced the Heaven Gate alone."
"The appearance of the Heavenly Punishment Continent did indeed surprise me, so I chose to execute the second plan. All of this was my scheme, not an attempt to save face."
"I don't believe it."
Chen Fan shook his head.
" Chen Fan, if I activate the ' Heaven Gate Fated War Foundation,' do you think the Human Race can win?"
" The Heaven Gate Fated War strength lies in the Strange Entity Main Camp; since you cannot return, it cannot be activated."
"What a joke, what a joke!"
Hades, enraged, laughed and said, "Do you even know what the Heaven Gate Fated War is?"
"You think I need to personally activate the ' Heaven Gate Fated War Power'?"
"I have been preparing for the Heaven Gate Fated War for tens of thousands of years."
"You think I only have this much prepared?"
The next moment, a Crimson Beam shot up from within the Heavenly Chasm Stone Wall, somewhat similar to the Heaven and Earth phenomenon that occurred after Wraith King's death, piercing through the dark clouds and soaring straight into the Firmament!
Immediately afterwards.
One after another, hundreds of Crimson Beam Crimson Beam shot into the sky from within the Heavenly Chasm Stone Wall, each Golden Light Pillar representing the "foundation of the Heaven Gate Fated War."
It's not over yet.
horizon.
More and more Crimson Beam rose up, numbering in the tens of thousands at a glance.
Just as Hades said.
The profound knowledge here is only a tiny fraction of what's truly profound. Much more of it is scattered throughout the Heaven and Earth, like the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan, hidden in every corner of the Heaven and Earth, unknown and ignored for millennia.
The Crippled Monkey and the others stared blankly at this scene.
What they were witnessing had exceeded all their expectations.
"Now."
Hades stared intently at Chen Fan's facial expression and said, word by word, "Answer me: if I were to activate my hidden power, could the Human Race annihilate the Strange Entity Clan?"
66
99
Chen Fan quietly gazed at the scene before him.
He actually knew that what Hades said wasn't a lie.
But for some reason, Hades is in a state of urgent need for recognition, or rather, he wants his opponent to recognize him. In this situation, he will naturally not give in to his opponent's wishes, causing emotional turmoil in his opponent, which will be beneficial for the subsequent attack.
The more information is exposed.
This is also more advantageous for him.
"It might just be a Golden Light Pillar effect; it lacks substance."
It's just fireworks.
Hades laughed again and stopped arguing.
"Are you going to say next, 'Let me start it up and show you,' to prove that what I said is true?"
"Provocation?"
"I will absolutely not activate these resources before the Heaven Gate Fated War begins; these resources can only be used in the Heaven Gate Fated War."
That's all I wanted to say.
"I hope you have already said goodbye to your families."
"By the way," I did not go to the Human Race Headquarters to kill your families, nor did I kidnap them to threaten you.
"Although they will still be wiped out after the War Ends."
"But."
"As the Hades, I would disdain such low-down methods."
"Three countdown."
"Are you ready for war?"
"Everyone."
