Chapter 392: The Fall of the Deity

Chapter 392: The Fall of the Deity

Unexpectedly, “Supreme God” and “Celestial Lord” did not immediately reject the seemingly absurd proposal.

The vast ocean that encompassed all colors and the boundless barrier of gray mist remained silent, unchanged.

They maintained their silence, as if truly considering it.

Lu Ke was not in a hurry. He took the opportunity to repair his battered body, preparing for the possibility of another battle should the proposal be rejected.

There was one thing he had not been wrong about.

The timing of these two deities’ revival was indeed not ideal, and the bodies they were using were not well-suited.

Currently, the celestial barrier was maintained by the Seven Major Deities, who would absolutely not trust the detested “Celestial Lord,” a great being symbolizing deceit. Any action taken by Him would be perilous.

As for the “Primordial God,” it was even more out of the question. Among the Seven Deities, “Eternal Sun,” “Lord of Storms,” and “God of Knowledge and Wisdom” would never meekly accept their fate. The same applied to Adam and the “True Creator,” who had inherited the divinity and humanity of the “Ancient Sun God.”

If the “Primordial God” could not immediately reclaim His power and restore to His prime, the consequence of the Seven Deities being pushed to their limits would be a lack of support for the barrier, leading to an early apocalypse.

At that point, the “Primordial God,” not at His peak, would face not just one new “Elder God” but nine great beings waiting in the cosmos for their feast.

The “Chaos Sea,” symbolizing omniscience and omnipotence, was indeed all-encompassing, able to accommodate almost all outer gods, who were filled with desire for it.

This revival was too unexpected and rushed, and most importantly, it had already been discovered.

“Celestial Lord” and “Supreme God” were confident they could keep Lu Ke from leaving the forsaken land, with the former having already sealed the area and the latter isolating it with the Chaos Sea.

However, neither of the two “pillars” could guarantee that he had not made some preparations to escape or notify the outside world of what was happening here.

The unknown was troublesome.

The all-knowing “Omniscient One” and the “Lord of the Spirit Realm,” who possessed all information, still observed Lu Ke as if feeling their way in the dark.

Even though Lu Ke’s actions and reasoning were not overly complex to the two “pillars” who had lived through ancient times, they still could not be certain whether this was all a facade or if there were aspects they could not see or understand.

Especially given that the other party had demonstrated extensive knowledge and preparations.

After a brief silence, “Celestial Lord” spoke first.

He smiled and nodded, “An interesting proposal, though it seems to involve some concessions, it’s not entirely unacceptable.”

Pausing, He looked at Lu Ke.

“Why did you design the current situation?”

Lu Ke rested his right hand on his chin, pondering for a few seconds before smiling faintly.

“Leaving aside the Seven Major Deities who can’t easily manifest and the restrained evil gods, you two are too dangerous. Before I have absolute power, I don’t want to deal with overly complex factors, especially you.”

“Celestial Lord’s” smile did not waver as He gazed at the boundless barrier of gray mist, His voice calm.

“You want to cross the gray mist barrier into the Western Continent to obtain the ‘Source Essence,’ worried that I, who set up the barrier, might follow and cause you harm, so you designed a way to eliminate the threat.”

“Your goal has never been the ‘Hidden Sage,’ the ‘Primordial Witch,’ or the ‘Primordial God,’ but me.”

“All of this was to lure me out and send me back, correct?”

Lu Ke gently raised the “Wishing Lamp,” his tone calm.

“I don’t deny that perspective.”

“Agreeing to work with the ‘Primordial God’ to send you back might also be a good choice. In fact, the ‘Genie’ has been pleading with me to choose this option even after you reinforced the seal.”

“Oh, He’s really growing.”

“Celestial Lord” turned His gaze to the flask-shaped “Wishing Lamp,” a mysterious smile on His face.

The “Wishing Lamp” trembled violently, trying to hide in Lu Ke’s arms.

Tricked into the “Wishing Lamp” by “Celestial Lord” from the First Epoch to the present, His mental trauma would not heal anytime soon.

After enjoying the sight of the “Genie” trembling, Lu Ke finally placed the “Wishing Lamp” back with satisfaction.

“Although ‘Supreme God’ is currently stronger than you, the ‘Mysterious Lord’ excels in escape and survival. Even if successful, it would come at a great cost, giving me a chance…”

“No… you’ve forgotten the last possibility.”

“Celestial Lord” interrupted Lu Ke, looking at the silent “Primordial God.”

“I can also cooperate with the ‘Primordial’ to eliminate you first, then engage in battle with each other.”

The ocean that encompassed all colors remained still, as calm as its owner.

“Primordial God” rejected the idea without any emotion.

“No such possibility.”

While aware that “Celestial Lord’s” words were a deception, as the strongest “arbiter,” He had certain principles, one of which was not to cooperate with “Celestial Lord”!

The Celestial Lord's smile faltered for a moment as He raised His hand to His right eye socket, nodding with a smile to show approval.

"Indeed, I still find 'Primordial' the most annoying. Even a scheming opportunist like you, who struggles to survive in the cracks, can't compare to Him."

"I can agree to your proposal, but on one condition: you must not interfere in the next revival, directly or indirectly, in any form."

"Otherwise, not only will you fall, but your true form will as well, witnessed by the Children of Chaos."

As He spoke, the seal on the Wishing Lamp was released, and a pale golden figure appeared instantly, its majestic voice echoing throughout the space.

"Agreed."

To Him, as long as the Celestial Lord could die, it was worth it.

The Lamp Spirit turned to the Primordial God.

"Do you agree?"

The Primordial God remained silent, using the lull in conversation to buy time and prepare.

The azure in the Primordial Witch's eyes was almost entirely gone, replaced by a chaotic hue filling the pupils.

But Qu Ke's final will was weak yet resilient, and it would still take some time. However, the other side would not give Him that time.

Three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to the Primordial God, awaiting His response.

A brief silence followed, and then the Chaos Sea began to churn like never before!

The intense fluctuations caused the sky to display countless colors and possibilities, even coating the gray fog barrier with a layer of chaos!

The chaotic waves surged directly toward the Celestial Lord and Lu Ke.

This was the Primordial God's answer!

Possessing the body of the Primordial Witch, facing the Mysterious Lord, who was supported by only one Sequence One Extraordinary Trait, and the Last One, who had just completed a divine descent, even without a complete revival, He had confidence in victory!

Seeing this, Lu Ke calmly took something out of his pocket.

Ammun's avatar.

The small black crow, with a mark around its right eye socket, was held high, bewildered as it saw the chaotic waves rushing toward it.

Ammun: What the *!

*!

*!

He immediately tried to use "Deception" and "Theft" to break free but found that His entire body was wrapped in "information", and the abilities He used disintegrated in the chaos.

After all, He was just an avatar, one that had been cut off from the main body and could not draw upon the rank of the King of Angels.

Strangely, with Ammun's avatar appearing, the chaotic waves seemed to compromise and actually stopped. The Primordial God's voice followed.

"I agree to your proposal."

At this moment, even Ammun was momentarily stunned. Why would a battlefield where even the main body struggled to participate stop because of a mere avatar?

"This..."

Lu Ke slowly provided an explanation, "He knows you're an avatar, but for the Mysterious Lord, capturing an avatar is the same as capturing the main body. Your main body cut the connection, but I can reconnect it. That's 'Unity of All Things.'"

Ammun's avatar wasn't important, but the uniqueness of the main body and the two Sequence One "Worm of Time" were crucial.

With these, plus the Mysterious Servant in the Velvet Curtain, the Celestial Lord now had three Sequence One Extraordinary Traits and one uniqueness, matching the current state of the Primordial God.

Although the three separate Sequence Ones were slightly inferior to a true god, the Primordial God's revival progress was also lacking, so they would balance out.

The Primordial God could attempt to reclaim the Hanged Man uniqueness and Sequence One Extraordinary Trait from the True Creator, but using the Primordial Witch's body to accommodate non-adjacent pathway traits would severely weaken Him against Lu Ke.

The small crow flapped its wings and opened its right eye, speaking in a less than pleasant voice.

"Is this why you lured me here?"

"Or what use would an Angel King be in a situation like this?"

Lu Ke responded matter-of-factly, his tone smooth and natural. Seeing the complex emotions in the small crow's eyes, he chuckled.

"Enough. If I hadn't acted in secret, do you really think your main body could have escaped the Celestial Lord and left the Godforsaken Land?"

"So I should thank you?"

"Don't mention it."

Ammun: "..."

The Blasphemer, who had toyed with many and pulled countless pranks, felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had been outplayed.

The figure of the Wishing Lamp swelled to the size of a mountain, the pale golden aura of the Miracle Worker revealing chaotic and disorderly rules, completing the solemn witnessing.

Then, two ancient wills faded uncontrollably.

In their prime, the Mysterious Lord and the Omniscient One might have attempted to alter or find loopholes in the covenant witnessed by the Children of Chaos, but at this stage, they could not break the contract.

The Dark Wolf's pitch-black eyes gradually became clear and hollow, the will of the Celestial Lord having thoroughly eroded its original will. Once the will of the Celestial Lord faded, this body became an empty shell.

Just before the last trace of blackness disappeared, Lu Ke suddenly heard a voice filled with amusement.

"Be careful of the Primordial."

Lu Ke remained calm and looked at the Dark Wolf, only to find that the pure black representing the Celestial Lord's will had completely faded, leaving behind only the emptiness of a will that had been thoroughly eroded, conveying utter desolation.

Almost simultaneously, the calm voice of the Primordial God also sounded.

"We will meet again soon."

The sea, containing all colors, slowly sank, returning to the Underworld of the Godforsaken Land, revealing a land scarred and ravaged, with all life extinguished in the chaotic seawater.

The chaos in the Primordial Witch's eyes gradually dissipated, revealing her originally clear eyes, which seemed to hide a vast blue sea. A hint of seductive madness slowly and laboriously emerged.

Quirk returned.

But at this moment, he had only a faint consciousness, his condition so poor that he could barely control his body, let alone wield power or engage in battle.

"I didn't expect that even the Primordial couldn't turn the tide."

"It seems I made a mistake in coming to you!"

He collapsed weakly on the ground, laughing wildly, like a madman giving his final performance.

Lu Ke held the Wishing Lamp in his left hand, with Ammun's raven form perched on his right shoulder. He raised the bone-white longsword that contained the Singularity of the Hermit, the blade that brought the end of all things, and aimed it at the Primordial Witch's neck.

"Any last words?"

Quirk's laughter gradually became dry and hollow, and he gradually calmed down, still seductive.

"You can defeat me, but you cannot kill me."

"I have many resurrection contingencies and am the ruler of the Mirror World. To kill me completely, you must destroy the entire Mirror World."

"You may not fully understand what 'Unity of All Things' means."

Lu Ke smiled slightly. "As for the ruler of the Mirror World, perhaps someone else can take over."

Suddenly, light blossomed in the void, and three figures appeared on the battle-scarred field.

The Wishing Lamp's second wish had ended.

The three "Mirror People" who had "temporarily" disappeared returned to the real world.

The Primordial Witch, fused with the yin and yang aspects of the First Creator of the Mirror World, and the Mirror counterpart of the Emperor of Rossel, Empress Roselle.

The black-dressed Quirk, now free from control, walked towards the incapacitated original, watching as the beauty on her face faded, replaced by satisfaction and pleasure, and she smiled kindly at Lu Ke.

"You have given me freedom, and I will remember your kindness. I swear by the First Creator of the Mirror World that when you face a severe crisis, I will offer my help."

A phantom mirror appeared before them, and the black-dressed Quirk led the yang aspect creation—Tudor, clad in white armor with a vacant gaze—into the Mirror World.

Crack—

The sound of the mirror shattering echoed throughout Quirk's body.

He felt the power of the Mirror World being usurped. Under normal circumstances, he could have stopped this rebellion, but now he was powerless.

Moments later, Empress Roselle, who had been silent, showed a slight change in expression and spoke slowly.

"The ruler of the Mirror World has changed, and the restrictions on my connection to the Mirror World have been lifted."

"Congratulations."

Lu Ke raised the bone-white longsword and decisively slashed at the Primordial Witch, who finally showed a look of despair. The power of the end of all things enveloped her divine body, and her exquisitely beautiful form was gradually annihilated.

At the same time.

The earth shook violently, and mountains rose one after another, spewing dense smoke and red lava. In the sky, bright meteors streaked across and struck different parts of the northern and southern continents, causing fierce explosions.

Blizzards swept through the scorching lands, and one after another, hurricanes of unprecedented strength made landfall along the coasts. Various disasters fell upon every corner of the world without the protection of seals, some strong, some weak.

In the starry realm, where abstract concepts were depicted, countless pieces of information were exchanged, transmitted, and compiled. All the divine realms of the gods trembled.

A true god had fallen.

The Primordial Witch's divine seat was now vacant.
