Meanwhile.
The group members had watched the entire ordeal, and every one of them was stunned.
Even Jiang Xiaoyu, who knew the entire plot!
Although she was a devoted fan of the trilogy and had read it more than once, that experience had remained confined to words on a page. She had never witnessed a real dark upheaval.
Snack-Loving Tushan Susu: "S-so terrifying! Is this the dark upheaval in Ye Fan's world?"
Morgana of the Super God World fell silent. She had assumed a dark upheaval was merely a war between two civilizations. She had never imagined it would be this horrifying!
A single sweep of those fallen Dark Supremes' divine senses instantly slaughtered trillions upon trillions of living beings, reducing them to sustenance!
This was far more brutal than the planar wars in her world!
And the Supremes harvesting the universe were countless times more terrifying than her world's so-called angels and demons!
Morgana was not the only one left silent after watching. Ying Zheng, Lin Fengjiao, and Sakazuki fell silent too.
The power systems in their worlds were too weak. Even destroying a planet's surface was a struggle, while in the Shrouding the Heavens World, annihilating a star system with one strike was merely routine. The shock was overwhelming.
Thanos, Iron Man, Batman, and the others, however, merely thought the dark upheaval was excessively brutal. They did not think much of the Shrouding the Heavens World's power system.
To them, it was nothing special.
In their worlds, resetting the universe was routine when powerful beings fought. Although the Lord of Samsara in the livestream was undeniably formidable, he was still a long way from destroying an entire universe.
The Shrouding the Heavens World.
"Senior Heavenly Dao, if you devour our world's Heavenly Dao, what will happen to its living beings?" Ye Fan asked.
Lu Chen chuckled. "That depends on what I want. If I wish, I can not only devour this world's Heavenly Dao, but also erase its living beings at the most fundamental level. They would have no possibility of returning to life in the past, present, future, or across infinite, countless parallel universes."
"If I do not wish it, the living beings here can remain unharmed. But once I devour this world's Heavenly Dao, its cultivation system and laws of the Great Dao will be lost. As time passes, this world will become an ordinary apocalyptic wasteland, and its inhabitants will never be able to cultivate."
With that, Lu Chen gave Ye Fan a meaningful look. "Knowing that, are you still willing?"
Ye Fan met Lu Chen's gaze. "Senior, whether I am willing or not, you have the power to decide whether our world survives or perishes. But I beg you to help humanity and spare them from the dark upheaval. Even if they cannot cultivate, please let humanity's legacy endure!"
"I firmly believe cultivation systems were never gifts bestowed by heaven. They were discovered by generation after generation of sages, feeling their way through the darkness!"
Lu Chen's gaze shifted at those words. He was beginning to admire this young man.
Such breadth of spirit. Such far-reaching vision.
He truly deserved to become Heavenly Emperor Ye, revered by all races!
The group members watching the livestream were also moved by Ye Fan's words.
Snack-Loving Tushan Susu: "Waaah, I'm crying so hard! Big Brother Ye Fan is amazing!"
Kaisa the Old Bitch Must Die: "What's so amazing about him? Don't tell me it's his..."
Snack-Loving Tushan Susu: "Queen!!! You're making dirty jokes about me again!"
Notice: Group member Kaisa the Old Bitch Must Die has been muted by an administrator for one week.
Maoshan Taoist: "Young Ye's generosity of spirit truly puts us all to shame!"
Only Admin of This Group: "Ye Fan's deeds truly deserve to be celebrated."
Qin Shi Huang: "Oh? Let's hear them."
Sakazuki: "Tell us, now!"
Only Admin of This Group: "There are far, far too many stories about him to tell even in three days and nights. All you need to know is that, in the future, Ye Fan will completely pacify every forbidden zone, so humanity will no longer suffer dark upheavals!"
"On that day, Ye Fan attained the Dao, breaking the curse that prevented a Saint Body from doing so!"
"On that day, he showed the Supremes of the forbidden zones what a human saint body truly was!"
"On that day, every dark forbidden zone was completely pacified!"
"And on that very day, after Ye Fan subdued every foe across past and present, the words he cried out would continue to thunder through countless peaceful ages to come!"
"As the Heavenly Emperor, I shall subdue every foe in this world!"
"Gasp!"
At that moment, the entire group erupted, their blood surging with excitement!
Snack-Loving Tushan Susu: "Big Brother Ye Fan really puts an end to such terrifying dark upheavals in the future!"
Maoshan Taoist: "Incredible. Truly incredible!"
Sakazuki: "Enough talking. I'm logging off. This fleet admiral is going to kill every last pirate!"
Burning Youth: "Wahahaha! This really gets my blood pumping! I've decided to increase today's training tenfold!"
Notice: Group member The Earth Is Definitely Round has left the group!
Only Admin of This Group: "Nice."
Jiang Xiaoyu responded with nothing but a single "Nice"!
Might Guy, you're seriously something else. You actually drove Moon Worshipper out of the group!
In the Qin Dynasty world, Ying Zheng looked at the victory reports pouring in from across the land and abruptly rose to his feet, radiating an unprecedented imperial majesty!
The assembled civil officials and military commanders fell to their knees, gripped by unparalleled terror!
What earth-shaking deed was His Majesty about to undertake now?
Ying Zheng rested his hand on the Heaven-Questioning Sword at his waist, his imperial eyes filled with a fighting spirit that could pierce the heavens.
"It is time to unify this chaotic land!"
"It is time for the Hundred Schools of Thought to disappear!"
"The Mohist School, the Confucian School, the Yin-Yang School..."
The Shrouding the Heavens World.
Taking Ye Fan with him, Lu Chen stepped forward, crossing hundreds of thousands of light-years in an instant and descending into a star region where blood ran in rivers.
Abandoned Heaven Supreme and Firmament Tyrant Body were slaughtering with abandon here!
"More prey."
Abandoned Heaven Supreme stopped what he was doing and looked at the two figures descending from above.
Firmament Tyrant Body casually crushed a Quasi-Emperor's skull and devoured his life essence.
Then Firmament Tyrant Body looked at Ye Fan, and killing intent instantly filled his eyes. He said coldly, "Heh. It was a shame I couldn't devour the great accomplished saint body. But now a Saint Body junior has arrived. He'll do."
"Die!"
Firmament Tyrant Body immediately unleashed the inherited divine ability of the Tyrant Body lineage: Tyrant Fist!
Boom!
An enormous purple fist imprint materialized, hurtling toward Lu Chen and Ye Fan with a terrifying force that could shatter the heavens!
In his War God Xingtian form, Lu Chen thrust out his palm. The law of gold manifested, forming a colossal golden hand that blotted out the sky as it pressed down!
"No! This aura... a flawless Great Emperor? Damn it!"
Abandoned Heaven Supreme's expression changed drastically. Divine radiance blazed from his imperial body as he struggled with all his might to resist!
But it was all futile!
The massive palm imprint formed from the law of gold slammed down in an instant!
A violent explosion erupted. Abandoned Heaven Supreme and Firmament Tyrant Body burst apart, turning into clouds of blood mist!
"Aaargh!"
Agonized screams rang out. The blood mist churned, and two figures rapidly re-formed within it.
They were Abandoned Heaven Supreme and Firmament Tyrant Body!
Although they had revived through heaven-defying means, their imperial bodies flickered, wavering between existence and oblivion. Anyone could see that both had suffered horrifying injuries and were on the verge of fading away.
