Just then, a series of sounds, almost one after another, resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth.

"The Three Calamities have descended; the Merfolk Clan have chosen a wise ruler and joined the Strange Entity Clan."

Heaven and Earth as Witness, Myriad Races bear witness.

This is hereby announced.

"The Three Calamities have descended; the Murphy Clan has chosen a wise ruler and joined the Strange Entity Clan."

Heaven and Earth as Witness, Myriad Races bear witness.

This is hereby announced.

"Three..."

One

One race after another, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, declared their allegiance to the "Strange Entity Clan."

Although they did not participate in the war.

But they have already expressed their attitude.

Or rather...

This means that the Minor Races on the Boundary Battlefield have concluded that Human Race has no hope of turning the tide.

The Hades of the Underworld, suspended between Heaven and Earth, chuckled as he gazed ahead.

"This is the general trend."

"The tide has turned; you have lost."

He then didn't wait for a reply from the Human Race; the verbal sparring phase was over, and it was time to officially begin the battle, so there was no need for further communication.

Left hand slightly raised.

"The Heaven's Collapse!"

The Heaven and Earth and earth changed color; dark clouds appeared beneath our feet, and the vast ocean once again appeared high in the sky.

Hades clenched his left fist.

The boundless seawater, carrying destructive force, crashed down upon hundreds of thousands of continents.

One day ago.

He used this tactic, but it didn't cause any damage.

This time.

Nearly all the Seventh-Level Continent were smashed into dust.

One move.

All Seventh-Level Continent, as well as the three temporarily transferred Sixth-Level Continent, were cleared out.

This is no longer a war.

It was not a one-sided massacre.

At this point, the Human Race was utterly powerless against Hades.

The distant Eternal Night Continent was also enveloped, and the Primordial Wall rose up to block the attack.

Chen Fan returned to the Cave and locked himself in his study.

He looked around in a daze. This Cave had existed for a long time. He had created Cave when he fled from the Jiangbei Wasteland during the Rainy Season to the Nameless Mountain. Since then, the Mortal Domain had developed rapidly, but this Cave had not changed much.

Same as before.

Everything around me, everything in the study.

It was so familiar.

Every time he stays here, he feels a sense of security, like he's back home.

This is his home.

Today.

Everything here may no longer exist.

He slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his mind was completely clear. He looked down at the two Jade Pivot Screen on the table, each displaying a different image.

One was information that came before the destruction of the Heavenly Punishment Continent.

The other is Image Recording of Hades during his verbal sparring phase.

Up to now.

All of the Human Race's attacks failed to inflict even the slightest injury on Hades, which was already excessively powerful. Even Level 90+ being could not possibly withstand the bombardment of a thousand Level-90 Heavenly-Derivation Sky-Piercing Pillar without sustaining any damage.

Unless...

Unless this strength isn't true strength.

Rather, it is "strength" achieved through certain means.

If so.

This means there must be a flaw, and he needs to find that flaw.

The core of the "No Regrets After Placing a Piece" plan is to activate the unique Continent Title "Defeat Heaven, Command a Billion Pieces," which will rewind time to three days prior. This rewind will affect all Living Beings in the Heaven and Earth, and even the Heaven and Earth itself.

And they all carry memories.

This also means that he must find out what "Hades did during the verbal sparring phase," he must find a flaw, otherwise even if time were to rewind to three days ago, he would only suffer another defeat.

It makes no sense.

He sat at his desk, completely clearing his mind of all distractions, and stared intently at the images.

Hades may not be just all talk.

Instead...

Something is being done in secret.

Is the outcome already decided?

Not necessarily!

He has found a weakness.

Hades was unaware that he possessed the ability to rewind time, and he deliberately revealed one of his secrets. "The fewer the number of the Strange Entity Clan, the stronger I am." However, even if Jiu Wu was Mass Production Strange Entities, it would still take at least one day to reduce Hades' strength by one level.

Hades believed that a single day would be enough to eliminate Human Race.

Exposure is fine.

Or rather, the difference in strength between those who were downgraded to a lower level shouldn't be that much.

After all, Hades had been accumulating power for a day, and Jiu Wu had been forging it for a day. Hades' strength had already dropped by one level, but it didn't have much of an impact. If the strength of the Human Race was 1, then Hades' strength was now 10. Even if it dropped to 9, it would still be much higher than 1.

However, he possesses a title, "Kings Never Meet," which allows him to forcibly seal Hades for three days.

When time rewinds again, Jiu Wu can focus all his efforts on building the Three Suns, which will weaken Hades to some extent. It can't be used now, but if it is used now and time rewinds to three days ago, it will rewind to the present.

This was a flaw he found.

But.

This flaw is too small.

The damage to Hades was minimal.

He needs to find more weaknesses.

He believes.

Hades' display of his power and his verbal sparring a day ago were not in vain; they were definitely part of a plan. He wants to find these plans so that he can interrupt them during the next time time rewind.

A single flaw might not have much effect.

But if it's three or four...

Perhaps then they would have the strength to fight.

"The Heaven and Earth of the Boundary Battlefield has shattered!"

In the 1024 Heavens, the Mr. Na looked at White Elder with some anxiety. "Didn't you say before that only when the Heaven and Earth of the 'Boundary Battlefield' shattered and a large amount of Void poured in could the 'Return to Ruin Bomb' be certified as a Building Blueprint?"

"Is it okay now?"

White Elder looked up in a daze and murmured, "It's really shattered?"

He never thought it could actually happen.

How could the Heaven and Earth of the Boundary Battlefield possibly shatter?

However.

The reality before him was truly shattered.

"Wait for me!"

Without pausing, White Elder vanished instantly, reappearing a hundred breaths later to hand a Blueprint to the Mr. Na: "Here!"

The Black Elder sitting to the side stared at this scene in disbelief.

"This is fucking possible?"

No, Hades shattered Heaven and Earth, yet he created the Return to Ruin Bomb for you?

But soon...

Black Elder quickly calmed down and said indifferently.

"Stop struggling."

"Your Human Race has no hope of turning the tide in this battle."

The Mr. Na offered no rebuttal, simply tucked the Blueprint into his pocket, and quickly left.

Mortal Domain.

Chen Fan glanced at the "Return to Ruin Bomb Blueprint" that had been placed on his desk, and let out a soft breath. The second flaw.

The Return to Ruin Bomb.

It has been certified as Seven-Colored Grade.

The highest-grade Building Blueprint, the Return to Ruin Bomb Bullet, was already the most powerful weapon in the Mortal Domain. Now that it has been certified as a building, it can benefit from nearly three thousand layers of War Dividend and other Dark Technology, greatly increasing its power.

And it can also be upgraded.

There are also upgrade effects and the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect.

Its power is more than a hundred times greater than before.

Most importantly, once it becomes Blueprint, it can be mass-produced.

This is the "second flaw".

Hades shattered the Heavenly Chasm City Wall, but also creating an opening in the Blueprint for Return to Ruin Bomb.

He crushed the Blueprint.

The Endless Night Lord Panel now displays this building. He leaves the study via the Teleportation Formation and arrives Behind Nameless Mountain. With a gentle wave of his hand, countless white lines appear in the air and converge into a building much smaller than the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

Quickly level up to Level 90 and throw out 100 Heavenly Dao Stone.

Furthermore, buildings of Pink rank or Pink require 100 Heavenly Dao Stone to receive Heavenly Dao's Blessing.

Of the three Heavenly Dao's Blessing you receive, one will definitely have an extremely powerful Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect.

After doing all this.

He then looked at the "Sky-Piercing Pillar" building in front of him.

It stands seven meters tall and resembles the Sky-Piercing Pillar in appearance, but is even more slender.

Its entire body is an Azure color.

There was a bright Red Grade on the warhead.

It is extremely expensive to build.

100 trillion Eerie Stone, in one shot.

With the current resources of the Mortal Domain, they can only forge a maximum of 12.

A Level 90, Seven-Colored Grade building with extremely impressive stats.

One

Building Name: Return to Ruin Bomb

"Building Grade": Seven Colors.

Building Level: Level 90.

"Architectural effect": With a single blow, everything is reduced to ruins.

"Level-10 Max-Level Effect (First Touch of Return to Ruin): Upon impact, an endless Return to Ruin Fissure explodes, dealing devastating damage to nearby creatures."

"Level-20 Max-Level Effect (Return to Ruin Spread): The exploded Return to Ruin Fissure will automatically seek out nearby enemies."

"Level 30..."

"Level 70 Max-Level Effect (Return to Ruin Seal): Within a diameter of tens of thousands of miles from the explosion center, all enemy units within the range are locked, and teleportation and teleportation are prohibited."

"Level 80..."

"Superb Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Return to One)": Can activate the ultimate "Return to Ruin Bomb". After activating the ultimate Return to Ruin Bomb, all Defensive Structure on the continent will self-destruct. The level, grade, power, etc. of all Defensive Structure can be increased to enhance the power of the ultimate Return to Ruin Bomb.

One"

Chen Fan silently gazed at the panel.

He can't test the explosion right now.

This is one of his trump cards, which he cannot reveal this time, but even without testing its detonation, one can imagine its strength just by looking at the stats.

He found a second flaw.

But that's not enough.

That's far from enough.

Hades' defenses were a bit too exaggerated, and he was unsure whether the "Return to Ruin Bomb" could inflict effective damage on him.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of the scene transmitted back from the Heavenly Punishment Continent before its demise out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he thought of something, paused for a moment, and murmured in a daze.

"The third flaw."

"I see."

"But..."

Not enough, still not enough.

At this time.

The Frontline.

One piece of bad news after another kept coming in.

"Skyward Song Continent", destroyed.

"Mocking Heaven Continent" is defeated.

"Alpha Continent", destroyed.

"Yellow Springs Continent", defeated.

"Wind-Born Continent", defeated.

"Water..."

The Yellow Springs Continent, the Wind-Born Continent, and the Water-Rising Continent are all Ninth-Level Continent. In the battle against the Strange Entity Clan, many Level 7 Eighth-Level Continent have been promoted to Ninth-Level Continents. At this time, the Human Race has a total of forty-eight Ninth-Level Continent.

If this had happened in the past...

That's an incredibly terrifying level of power.

However.

At this moment, these Ninth-Level Continent can only stop Hades for a moment, relying mainly on the hardness of their own continents rather than firepower.

This is a landmass of hundreds of thousands of people.

It's not hundreds of thousands of pigs.

It won't be so easy to kill them.

Unless Hades unleashes another "Final Reverberation," but clearly even Hades cannot unleash such a powerful attack multiple times in a short period of time.

"Boom!"

The Crimson Blade Glow blasted out, splitting the Ninth-Level Continent "Transcendent Continent" at the top in front of them in two, and countless Fissure quickly appeared before it collapsed and sank into the Seabed.

But before Hades could rest...

Rear.

Another Eighth-Level Continent was rushing towards him from the sea.

We've run out of ammunition.

No firepower.

The Defensive Structure didn't roar; they used the most primitive attack method: continental collision.

Hades stood suspended between Heaven and Earth, calmly gazing at the Eighth-Level Continent rushing towards him. He did not know the name of this continent, nor did he need to know.

In fact.

Even if he stands still, the continent cannot hit him.

He's in heaven.

Moreover, given his speed, it's impossible for him to be hit.

In his eyes, these continents were not rebelling, but rather lining up to die.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Whether Human Race faces death calmly, desperately, or tragically, death is inevitable. What he wants to do is to erase the entire Human Race Continent bit by bit.

In fact.

If it weren't for the fact that his strength had rapidly increased several times after the defeat of the Strange Entity Clan, and he needed time to adapt to this power, he would have appeared here long ago after the defeat of the Strange Entity Clan, instead of waiting another month.

After all...

He had been looking forward to "Heaven Gate" for a long time.

He will achieve final victory in Heaven Gate; that is his dream.

The Heaven Gate Fated War.

A day and a half later.

Of the hundreds of thousands of continents, only a hundred or so remain.

In a day and a half.

Hades single-handedly slaughtered almost all the continents that Human Race had accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Hades was like a tireless War Machine, never stopping, and every strike he made was extremely precise.

They were slaughtering the Human Race Continent at an extremely fast pace.

"Um?"

Hades was swinging his sword when suddenly his arm froze. Looking down, he saw a fishing line as thin as silk tied to his forearm, and heard a lazy voice that sounded like someone who hadn't woken up yet.

Let me introduce myself.

"Alone I sit at the Heaven Gate, fishing for Wan Gu; I fish not for fish or dragons, but for the heavens themselves."

"Angler, Wan Gu!"

He looked in the direction of the sound.

Lateral.

A huge Elderly Man sat cross-legged on the spot, holding a fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line extending from his forearm.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Angler, huh? I know you guys, but this should be our first meeting."

"Only..."

"Sitting alone at the Heaven Gate?"

You don't deserve it.

"To be someone who doesn't even know what the Heaven Gate is, yet dares to claim to sit alone at the Heaven Gate, truly shows that ignorance is bliss."

"Ridiculous."

The next moment, Hades swung his sword forcefully, the fishing line snapped, and a Crimson Blade Glow shot out and blasted towards Wan Gu.

"Boom!"

The enormous Crimson Blade Glow slammed into Wan Gu, disappearing without a trace as if a stone had sunk into the deep sea. Wan Gu's aloof face remained expressionless.

"Huh?"

Hades narrowed his eyes slightly. He had heard of the Angler's reputation—a group of guys who liked to instigate fights for trophies. Now it seemed they were indeed quite strong, capable of withstanding a blow from him.

Wan Gu turned around expressionlessly and looked at Qianqiu behind him.

"You're not just boasting that you've mastered the Fourth Technique of the 'Angler Clan'?"

"Two-Level Reversal?"

"Have a look?"

The next moment.

Wan Gu Fissure rapidly appeared on the surface of the colossal body, instantly transforming into countless blood clots that scattered across the Heaven and Earth.

"Cut."

Hades scoffed. He really thought he'd met his match, but it turned out he was just being stubborn and didn't even cry out in pain.

He then looked at the hundred or so Angler had somehow appeared and were now floating to his side.

Each one was enormous.

Like gods and Buddhas filling the sky.

Too lazy to say anything more, he swiftly brought down the knife.

A series of Crimson Blade Glow shot out.

No Angler can withstand the second blow.

After Incense Stick.

The Angler Clan is extinct.

Or rather, only some of the Angler perished; some Angler Clan were not saved within the 1024 Heavens.

But at this point, the Angler was indeed gone from the Boundary Battlefield.

As Hades focused his gaze ahead, preparing to continue Eradication the remaining continents, he felt no fatigue whatsoever; his heart was filled with the excitement of soon fulfilling his ultimate dream.

The voice rang in my ears again.

"The Four Divine Clans of the Mortal Domain request permission to fight!"

He frowned and turned his head to look.

The king of the Vermilion Bird Clan, "Baobao," revealed his true form. His Vermilion Bird body, enveloped in Flame, appeared between Heaven and Earth without any concealment, followed by more than a hundred members of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Qi Yue, the former Pavilion Master the War Pavilion and now the king of the Azure Dragon Clan, has taken Humanoid Form and is followed by hundreds of thousands of Azure Dragon Corps.

The White Tiger Clan White Eye, leading hundreds of his White Tiger Clan. He revealed his true form as White Tiger, standing on the waves, his eyes fixed on them with a sinister and ruthless gaze.

"Aren't there three?"

Hades glanced around. "Where's the other one?"

"Grandpa's here!"

"Xuan Ba, the king of the Black Tortoise Clan!"

A voice, though outwardly fierce, sounded weak and lacked conviction.

Hades looked in that direction.

Qi Yue was carrying a huge tortoise shell, which was now opening.

"Oh."

"A living tortoise shell."

He thought it was a shield, but it turned out to be Black Tortoise).

"Let's all go together."

Using him as a shield and held in Qi Yue's hand, Xuan Ba's voice trembled slightly at such close proximity to the Hades.

Qi Yue.

"I'm only level 81. Although Black Tortoise is good at defense, it's practically useless against Hades."

"Please be careful."

He mainly wanted to give Qi Yue a heads-up.

So that Qi Yue wouldn't think he really had such a strong defense.

Before the match, he really wanted to say that he was better at speed.

The best defense is to not get hit.

Qi Yue nodded, then looked at Baobao and White Eye.

This is the first time that the four races have joined forces in a battle.

Their mission is to buy time.

And it would be best to expose more of Hades's abilities; it would be even better if we could gather any information. This battle is just the tip of the iceberg.

Alright, let's fight again next time.

The next moment, "Hades."

Qi Yue remained silent, but said Ice-Cold, "Let me tell you something you may not know: the true destiny of our four races is the key. By joining forces, our four races can unlock it."

Do you want to know what kind of lock that is?

Hades paused slightly, then instinctively asked, "What lock?"

He knows a lot of things.

But he truly didn't know what locks the four races could open.

Qi Yue's lips twitched.

What's going on?

Even Hades doesn't know?

This isn't the script. The Domain Lord's script for them was to first pretend they knew about this, and then Hades would definitely look down on it.

I already knew that.

Then he began to explain in detail what a "lock" is.

This can resolve their doubts.

It can also buy time.

Perhaps even the Domain Lord didn't expect that Hades wouldn't know what kind of lock it was. Maybe it was because Hades seemed too powerful that people thought Hades was omniscient.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Since Hades is willing to talk to him, he can just say whatever comes to mind and buy himself some more time.

Qi Yue took a deep breath and said calmly.

Do you know about the Heaven Gate?

Hades acted with extreme humility, nodding. "I know that."

If Hades hadn't just destroyed nearly hundreds of thousands of continents and killed countless humans, Hades would look more like a studious student at this moment.

There was no murderous aura emanating from him.

On the contrary, he seemed quite approachable and down-to-earth.

Qi Yue kept her expression calm and composed.

He felt as if he had returned to the days when he Jiangbei Old Devil.

He overheard Hades' conversation with Wan Gu. Hades clearly knew about a place called Heaven Gate and held it in high esteem, or rather, in awe. This place held an extremely high place in Hades' heart.

This place is most likely the location of the Heaven Gate Fated War.

After all, they have the same name.

Hades would be interested in using this as a topic.

"We opened the lock."

"It is the lock of the Heaven Gate."

"Without us, the Heaven Gate cannot be opened."
