Gloomy Void Realm.
Because of the fierce battle just now, countless spatial rifts appeared.
The Berserk spatial turbulence roared and clashed against Gustavo's battered body, creating a faint silver glow.
All eyes, both inside and outside the Abyss, were fixed on this Demon-Hunting Champion.
The meaning is unclear.
Excitement, pride, hostility, murderous intent, hatred, longing...
A mixture of emotions mingled in those gazes, draping Gustavo in a dazzling, multicolored robe of victory.
The Black Book stands outside the Abyss.
The two book spirits, one in black and one in white, gazed at the ferocious beast standing in the Gloomy Void Realm, a look of amazement flashing in their eyes.
"I never expected it would be this kid who won the Demon-Hunting War."
"Yes, who could have imagined this? But wouldn't this disrupt Master's plans? Originally, Master's disciple was already designated as a member of the Devils of Hell Clan to solidify the Alliance with the Lord of Hell. But now that this Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan member has performed so outstandingly, it would be unreasonable for Master not to accept him as a disciple." The White Book Spirit frowned and said bitterly.
The Black Book Spirit waved its hand dismissively, glancing disdainfully at its companion, and said, "You're overthinking it. For someone like the master, whether or not to take on disciples, and how many disciples to take on, is completely irrelevant; it all depends on his own whims."
"Can Alliance between Eternal be truly solidified by a mere disciple? You're joking. Disciples are merely icing on the cake; they mainly act as lubricant."
"Just like the marriage alliances among large mortal families, when faced with irreconcilable conflicts of interest, they will tear off all pretenses and fight without hesitation."
"As for this brat from the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, in my opinion, he might be more than just a disciple. His potential is quite outstanding, and he might even become the master's true successor."
"You think highly of him?"
The White Book Spirit was startled, then hesitated and said, "But, the Fate of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan..."
"That depends on what the master decides."
"That's true."
The White Book Spirit nodded, then, as if sensing something, suddenly looked towards the deepest part of the Abyss.
The Black Book Spirit beside him showed the same reaction, but with a hint of excitement in its eyes. "The Abyss Origin has matured. Is Master's plan and long-cherished wish finally about to be fulfilled?"
at the same time.
It's not just the Black and White Book Spirit.
All the Transcendent beings in the Abyss, as long as they are at the Sanctuary or above, can sense an extremely profound and dark power gathering somewhere through the trembling lines of law.
Gustavo turned his head, his spider eyes weaving together strands of spider silk into an Eye of Omniscience that traversed countless dimensions, looking down into the Bottom of the Abyss.
However, the Mist formed by the demonic energy of the Abyss was so thick and layered that it was impossible to see clearly.
Perhaps the Eye of Insight could pierce through the Abyss's Mist here, but alas, the Eye of Omniscience is merely Rune Array.
Ultimately, it imitates the power of the Eye of Insight, but it falls far short of the genuine article's powerful insight.
What exactly happened?
Gustavo muttered to himself, and countless Abyss Mystic Runes involuntarily appeared on the surface of his body.
It represents the purest and most essential Abyss Power.
At this moment, these Abyss Mystic Runes were trembling violently, as if they were gluttonous beasts seeing a table of delicious food, their eyes red and frantically trying to break free from his control.
Even with Gustavo's control over the Devouring Divine Realm, it took considerable effort to suppress this impulse.
But the anxiety he had suppressed because of the great battle resurfaced.
In a daze, Gustavo seemed to see a vast, boundless river, its origin and destination unknown.
Within the long river, countless creatures struggled, some large, some small, with vast differences in size.
Gustavo saw himself reflected in it.
A Dragon-Hunting Spider is neither the largest nor the smallest.
His gaze seemed to shift to the struggling Dragon-Hunting Spider in the long river.
Through the white-gold Mist that shrouded the long river, I saw those incredibly majestic figures standing on the riverbank.
They looked down at the creatures struggling in the long river, their faces expressionless, their demeanor cold and aloof.
It was as if they were looking at insignificant ants.
Gustavo, regaining his senses, narrowed his eyes more than ever before, his expression grave.
"That long river is the River of Fate, also known as the River of Space-Time, an abstract conceptual convergence of all things in the Astral Realm, the foundation of the multiverse. But why do I see it...? Is it because my life rank is almost identical to that of the Main God? Or is something warning me?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Gustavo's mind.
With a deafening roar that shook the Abyss, they vanished without a trace.
At this very moment.
The Bottom of the Abyss.
There is no matter, no energy, no light, no sound, not even the flow of time, no sense of spatial direction; everything here is reduced to profound nothingness, sinking into an unfathomable abyss.
Only the concept of the Termination, the so-called 'ground' that has been revealed, and the Abyss Origin that flows by from time to time, which is darker than darkness and emptier than nothingness.
These Abyss Origin, originating from all parts of the Endless Abyss, ultimately converge beneath the Silent Throne.
On the throne, the Ruler of the Abyss Erexius, who seemed destined to sit there forever, was currently facing off against five Eternity warriors.
With the blessing of the Abyss Will, even though the Ruler of the Abyss was at a disadvantage, it was still incredibly fierce and exuded unparalleled domineering Haki.
This ten-year standoff reached its climax with the maturation of the Abyss Origin beneath the Silent Throne.
As a Abyss Origin Power entered beneath the Silent Throne, the heart-shaped Abyss Origin paused, as if it had stopped beating.
But in the next second, it began to beat wildly, and the entire Abyss began to pulsate rhythmically with the beating of the primordial heart.
Countless demons looked up and saw a pitch-black 'sun' appearing above all the Abyss.
In reality, it was a projection of the power of the Heart of the Abyss.
The Abyss Mystic Runes on Gustavo's body surged out wildly once again, and this time he could hardly suppress them.
His physical appearance underwent a dramatic change, with various characteristics belonging to the demon race appearing on his body.
At this moment, Gustavo suddenly realized that the Abyss Power was not so easy to resist.
While he appeared to have perfectly mastered the Abyss Power and avoided many drawbacks, in reality, there were still hidden dangers.
