The Darkest Hour

Chapter 154 The Darkest Hour

"Damn it, how are we supposed to find it now?"

The God of Destruction's face was grim. Did he expect them to search inch by inch on the land of the gods?

"Given the situation, what else can we do but investigate step by step, even if it means digging three feet into the ground, we'll find him!"

The Asura God's expression was also grim; he never expected that a demon god could possess such methods.

"Go to the central hub of the divine realm first; it's of utmost importance."

"Walk!"

The five of them headed towards the central hub of the divine realm.

"Life, go back. That demon god has already appeared in the realm of gods. The Tree of Life may have some instructions."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life turned and headed towards the Forest of Life.

"Where will this demon go?"

Destruction and the others pondered this in their hearts.

At the central hub of the divine realm, the four god-kings arrived and immediately began an investigation.

"Attention all deities, I am the God of Asura. I command you to immediately cease all actions and proceed to the Divine Realm Committee."

The Asura God began to act; he would summon all the gods and gather their power to fight against the demon god.

Soon, the gods of the divine realm arrived at the Divine Realm Committee one after another.

"Take a headcount and see who's missing."

The God of Destruction's gaze swept over the gods; they needed to screen all the arriving gods first to prevent any despicable demons from infiltrating among them.

"Everything is fine, but two people didn't come."

"Who?"

"Angels, Rakshasa."

"The Angel God is currently in seclusion. As for the Rakshasa God, that fellow has fled to escape punishment and his whereabouts are still unknown. Keep a close eye on news about the Rakshasa God; that bastard is very likely to have defected to the Demon God."

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Asura God. He wanted to see where the Rakshasa God could run to.

Forest of Life

The Goddess of Life came before the Tree of Life and used her divine power to divine the current location of the Demon God.

call--

As the simulation progressed, gusts of wind swept through the Forest of Life, swirling countless leaves into the air, while divine lightning occasionally struck down from the sky, hitting the sacred tree.

"The demon god has become so terrifying!"

The goddess of life looked on in horror. How could the divination be so difficult? Before, it was just a warning.

"This demon god is even more dangerous than the dragon god. Just how terrifying is this being?"

boom--

The Goddess of Life persisted in her calculations, and finally, a divine lightning bolt struck her.

"puff--"

Blood splattered on the sacred tree, but her will remained steadfast. Ignoring the divine lightning striking her, she desperately continued her calculations.

The Goddess of Life knew that the arrival of the Demon God would be a disaster. For the sake of the divine realm, she had to calculate the Demon God's location and eliminate the source of this calamity before the great catastrophe arrived.

"They're out!"

Finally, at the cost of the near-withering of the Tree of Life, the Goddess of Life calculated the final result.

"This is……"

Looking at the final result, the Goddess of Life almost fainted from anger. Why did the result show three directions?

Moreover, these three locations are places where the Demon God would never appear: the Castle of Destruction, the Forest of Life, and the Temple of Angels!

None of these three locations are places that a second-level god could easily set foot in; even a god-king would have to think twice before going.

"I paid such a high price, and the result I got was so absurd..."

The goddess of life was pale. She looked at the sacred tree, whose leaves had almost all fallen, and felt extremely heartbroken. At this moment, she seemed to have lost all her strength and abilities.

"This must be some kind of trick by the demon god. Yes, it's a trick of deception, making the real appear real and vice versa. It's a smokescreen. He must be trying to make us fight amongst ourselves. What a vicious scheme."

The goddess of life sneered and immediately ruled out the correct answer.

She buried the fallen leaves, then went into the cabin and set up a barrier around the entire Forest of Life.

She will first go into seclusion to recuperate, and when she is truly calm, she may be able to figure out where the demon god has appeared.

[The final chapter is in progress; data from both sides is being collected...]

[Host's current strength is relatively weak; it is recommended to play it safe.]

"Of course I'm hiding, you don't need to tell me."

[Host, although there is a slight difference in strength, we are both from Guiduo. Why don't we have a fierce clash?]

"I'll talk about it after I break through to the God King level."

[Your progress is too slow; here are some new suggestions]

"What suggestion?"

Xiao Lin's eyes flickered slightly, wondering what kind of mischief the system was up to again.

[Host, take a closer look; there are some interesting things in this realm of gods.]

"Um?"

Xiao Lin looked puzzled. Something interesting?

He emptied his mind and his spiritual thoughts spread out.

"I'm blocked by the barrier, how can I sense anything?"

[Host, in the darkness, you are the sole ruler. The darkness of the world can be used by you. Darkness represents not only the elements of the world, but also the darkness within the hearts of the gods. By manipulating the darkness within the hearts of the gods, you will be omnipresent.]

"Um?"

Xiao Lin's eyes narrowed. Was there really such a saying?

Feel the aura of darkness, call upon the slumbering source of darkness. You are the only one in the darkness; at this moment, the world is utterly dark.

Xiao Lin calmed his mind and felt the pulse of dark energy.

As he sank his consciousness into the darkness, his divine sense suddenly expanded, and under the gaze of darkness, the so-called barrier became as if it were nothing.

Where there is light, there is darkness. The gods yearn for the light, but naturally, darkness also lurks in the corners of their hearts.

At this moment, Xiao Lin's breath seemed to resonate with the darkness.

hum-

Unseen ripples of darkness spread throughout the entire realm of gods.

"Demons and Rakshasa gods will all die! No one can hinder the development of the divine realm I envision. The divine realm under my control will surely shine brightly, and those scum who defy my will will be utterly annihilated!"

Xiao Lin saw into the heart of the Asura God. His thoughts shifted: God of Destruction, God of Evil, God of Goodness...

He was thrown back. The heart of the God of Kindness was far brighter than that of the three. Darkness in his heart was only a pitiful little bit, and that was because of the God of Evil.

"Life and death, the cycle of reincarnation continues endlessly. Since everything is already predetermined, it's better to perish together and save everyone the trouble."

"Tsk, that's an idea, not bad at all."

Xiao Lin was helpless against this benevolent god; even his evil thoughts were tinged with compassion and kindness, leaving him with no solution.

"Ha... Damn gods, on the day I break the seal, the divine realm will be reduced to scorched earth! Asura, destruction, good, evil, life—you will all have to pay the debt you owe!"

Deep within the Divine Realm Committee, Xiao Lin sensed a terrifying malevolent intent.

If we're talking about the one with the most resentment in the divine realm, it has to be this Golden Dragon King.

"Who, you scoundrel, are spying on me!"

"Wow, you're pretty alert. Even Shura didn't notice me, but you did."

"It's actually the aura of a dragon, a divine sense at the peak of a first-level god. Interesting... I've been dormant for too long, and even the slightest ripple is enough to attract my attention, let alone the aura of your kind on you."

The voice of the Golden Dragon King slowly entered Xiao Lin's mind.
