Chapter 861
God's Farm, Enchantress, Taking That One Step
The long period of confusion finally faded away, leaving only silence and absurdity in the room.
The succubus statue, carved entirely from flawless white jade, still stood quietly on one side of the hall, silently observing this absurd "performance" from beginning to end.
It made no movement and emitted no fluctuations of law, yet it gave people a faint illusion—the curve of the statue's mouth seemed to be slightly higher than before.
A brief silence fell over the hall.
Only the lingering, eerie scent in the air serves as a reminder of what had just happened.
Ling Shuiling slowly sat up from the soft mattress, raised her delicate hand, and draped a light-colored gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing over her shoulders.
The hazy light and shadow enveloped her graceful figure, concealing the originally straightforward allure, but instead adding a layer of veiled, alluring beauty.
Yang Fan remained lying flat on the mattress, his face showing no trace of languor after indulging in pleasure, but rather a deep contemplation.
Ling Shuiling gazed tenderly at her partner beside her and asked softly, "Have you remembered?"
Yang Fan nodded slightly: "I remember now."
He subconsciously repeated, "I remember everything."
He did indeed fully recall that crucial memory that he had personally stripped away.
Long before engaging in his fateful battle with the time-based demigod Sagat, Yang Fan made a somewhat crazy decision—he activated the Devouring Law and forcibly extracted a crucial memory from the depths of his mind.
Then, using the art of soul symbiosis, this memory was "sealed" deep within Ling Shuiling's soul.
Ling Shuiling remained inside this ancient temple, which contained immense power of time and isolated it from all outside prying eyes.
Even a demigod like Sagat, who is proficient in the laws of time and can glimpse the river of time, cannot penetrate the barrier of the ancient god's ruins, let alone glimpse this sealed secret.
Yang Fan knew better than anyone that if he kept this memory, a corresponding image would inevitably appear in the river of time.
Once Sagat discovers any clues through the river of time, he will never come looking for them, much less step into the deadly trap he set up, ultimately ending up being devoured by the remains of an ancient god.
In fact,
He had already glimpsed the future and saw a future that filled him with immense dread—Sagat would become an inescapable nightmare for the Azure Civilization.
Even if Yang Fan successfully advances to demigod status in the future and surpasses Sagat in strength by a large margin, as long as the opponent focuses on hiding and avoids battle, he will be completely helpless against this time-based demigod.
Trying to stop a demigod of time who is proficient in time-space concealment and can travel to the past and future at any time is something that the entire primordial world recognizes as impossible.
In the "future" he foresaw, after ascending to demigod status, Sagat adopted an extremely ruthless guerrilla warfare strategy.
He frequently attacked the various allied civilizations of the Azure Civilization, destroying their foundations.
He secretly intercepted and killed the resource exploration teams sent by Canglan, constantly eroding Canglan's manpower.
He used the laws of time to disrupt the expansion plans of the Azure Civilization, rendering the Azure people's great efforts futile.
The demigod Sagat, single-handedly, inflicted immeasurable casualties and irreparable losses on the Azure Civilization.
Of the hundreds of World Gates that the Azure Civilization painstakingly built, nearly half were secretly attacked by Sagat.
Every year, at least several World Gates are completely destroyed by the power of time, causing heavy losses to the Azure Civilization.
It was precisely to cut off this hopeless future that Yang Fan chose to take a risky move.
He personally stripped away his key memories, deliberately weakened his own strength, and created the illusion that he was "flawed and could be easily killed," ultimately luring Sagat into the trap and completely eliminating this future threat.
At this moment.
As his memories returned in their entirety, all of Yang Fan's doubts were suddenly cleared up.
He finally understood why he had heard that strange whisper when he first entered the hall—"The savior who carries the wishes of all beings."
The root of everything points to the Eternal Alliance of Gods, which was formed by hundreds of supreme ancient gods.
This points to the terrifying plan they devised to fight against the "cage".
which is:
Every few thousand years, the Eternal Alliance will unleash a super catastrophe that sweeps across the entire primordial world.
Using the power of natural disasters, the supreme beings forcibly sacrificed more than half of the creatures in the primordial world, as well as at least 80% of the civilized world.
Using the life essence and soul power of hundreds of millions of living beings as fuel to fight against the "cage".
After one catastrophe after another, the primordial world was filled with an unprecedentedly vast and intense resentment.
This resentment is directed at the Eternal Alliance, which is high above and regards all living beings as mere straw dogs.
The resentment of a single living being is as insignificant as dust.
Even the combined resentment of hundreds of billions or trillions of living beings could not shake the ancient god in the slightest.
However, as quantitative changes accumulate and exceed limits, they will eventually trigger a radical qualitative change.
The wails, curses, and resentments of hundreds of millions, even billions of beings, are like countless invisible giant hands, tightly gripping those supreme ancient gods. This power is enough to drag these arrogant beings into the depths of a "cage," condemning them to eternal damnation.
The ancient gods sacrificed all living beings to fight against the prison, and the suffering beings also wanted to sacrifice to the ancient gods to end this endless catastrophe.
This sounds like absurd dark humor, but it is the most real cycle of fate in the primordial world.
To avoid being consumed by the resentment of all living beings and ultimately becoming a sacrifice, the Eternal Alliance devised an even more ruthless ultimate plan.
which is:
Every five super catastrophes will result in the complete destruction of the primordial world by the supreme beings.
This is equivalent to resetting the game if you can't continue playing it.
Erase all save data!
Let's start over!
Each destruction and rebirth of the primordial world marks the beginning of a new era.
The countless grievances accumulated by all living beings will vanish along with the old world, completely wiped out.
then.
The problem of resentment that had plagued the ancient gods was "perfectly resolved" in this most cruel way.
To put it bluntly, the vast and magnificent primordial world that nurtured billions of civilizations was essentially nothing more than a breeding ground for ancient gods.
This terrifying information, which overturns all conventional understanding, does not come from the records of ancient god ruins, but rather from the eternal wooden horse in the dreamlike realm.
The true form of the Eternal Trojan Horse is a demigod from the previous era—the Horror Amusement Park.
five years ago.
Yang Fan finally pushed his mastery of the Devouring Law forward, successfully reaching the level of a powerful law.
It was on that day that he first truly stepped into the inner space of the Eternal Trojan Horse.
Deep within the core of the Trojan horse, he saw the ultimate truth that had been sealed away for countless years and survived across eras.
The Dream Realm exists in relation to the original world, and whenever the old era is destroyed, the Dream Realm naturally cannot escape the catastrophe.
On the eve of the end of the previous era, the horror amusement park made countless meticulous preparations.
There is only one purpose—to allow a wisp of primordial consciousness to pass through the cataclysmic destruction and enter the next era, thereby perpetuating its own existence.
Unfortunately, this dream demigod still failed.
The power of epochal destruction far exceeded imagination; even the will of a demigod could not withstand it.
The consciousness of the horror amusement park was completely erased by the devastating catastrophe, its soul scattered, leaving only a memory crystal that carried all the memories and truth.
This crystal, amidst the temporal fluctuations of the new era's birth, continuously transformed and evolved, ultimately becoming the core of the Eternal Trojan Horse.
The ancient gods destroyed the world time and time again, clearing away the resentment of all living beings, thinking that in this way they could control everything forever.
But there is a power that will not disappear with the destruction of the world; it can penetrate the cataclysm of an era and be passed on to the next era.
This is the power of the vows of all sentient beings.
Because millions of living beings are unwilling to repeat this tragic fate of being domesticated, harvested, and sacrificed.
They yearn to break free from their cages, to end the cycle of reincarnation, and to find a true path to freedom.
This unwavering conviction has coalesced into a powerful will, transcending eras and never fading away.
Yang Fan regained all his memories and naturally understood that he was the chosen one by the will of all living beings.
When Azure Star accidentally crashed into the primordial world, he constantly experienced those strange yet real dreams.
He dreamt of various treasures passed down through generations, omens of natural disasters, and secrets of civilizations, and repeatedly found opportunities in dire straits.
This was neither accidental nor a gifted talent; in essence, it was the power of the will of all living beings that secretly guided him, paving a path for him to confront the ancient gods and shatter the cage.
"The goddess of allure told me that now you can take that step."
Ling Shuiling hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
Back then, she mysteriously awakened her succubus powers. In reality, it was this alluring goddess born from the fiery hell who scattered countless seeds of supernatural abilities throughout the myriad realms.
This alluring goddess is another chosen one by the will of all living beings.
The collective will of all beings surrounding Yang Fan's fate attracted one of the supernatural seeds, which landed on Ling Shuiling.
Yang Fan slowly sat up and sighed, "It's time to take this step."
This step is—to advance to demigod status. (End of Chapter)
