Chapter 737
The Only Good News Among the Three Great Worlds
[The Star Demon God's strong setback caused the wills of the three Great Worlds, whose minds had just been shaken by the appearance of the Supreme Divine Power, to breathe a sigh of relief.]
This sigh of relief was quite meaningful, containing multiple complex emotions and strategic assessments.
On the one hand, the most direct benefit is that the Star Demon God failed to escape during the chaos.
This means that their core strategic objective—to surround and severely damage this newly ascended Star Transcendent, and to seize or destroy his origin—has not yet failed.
Although the situation has become more complex, the main prey remains in the net, and the hunt can continue.
This preserves their most basic resources and initiative for adjusting their strategies and responding to new variables.
On the other hand, and most importantly.
After carefully observing the power characteristics, fighting style, and final effect displayed by the Star Demon God's breakout, the wills of the three great worlds keenly detected a crucial difference that might be completely different from that of the Heart Demon God.
The Star Demon God did not demonstrate the same ability as the Heart Demon God to perceive the weaknesses in the core structure of the Abyss's will and even the Great World's sealing system.
The Demon God's escape last time was nothing short of an art, based on a profound understanding of the Abyss's methods and a precise strike.
The Star Demon God's breakout, however, was more like an attempt to overwhelm with force, relying on the immense stellar power of a newly emerged transcendent to launch a direct assault.
[While its power was unparalleled, it lacked finesse and failed to find the most fatal weakness in the containment system.]
[Or, to put it more deeply, the Star Demon God's actual combat strength and adaptability to life forms of transcendent power seem not to have reached the terrifying level that the Heart Demon God displayed when he ascended.]
[After the Heart Demon God's ascension, he will be able to turn against the Abyss's will, precisely break through its defenses, and depart gracefully.]
[Even with external forces disrupting the balance and the support of his companions, the Star Demon God still failed to achieve victory in one fell swoop and became entangled in a protracted battle.]
This inevitably leads the wills of the three great worlds to conclude that the Star Demon God is completely inferior to the Heart Demon God.
[This top-tier True God, whose strength and prestige once surpassed even the Heart Demon God in the Abyss before his ascension, experienced a decline in the extent of his power transformation and his combat effectiveness after becoming a transcendent being and the ruler of the stars.]
[Not to mention being on par with the Heart Demon God, it hasn't even displayed any extraordinary qualities comparable to the Heart Demon God.]
Of course, this may be related to the fact that the characteristics of the rules of the stars are more inclined towards grandeur, permanence, and wide-ranging influence, rather than the unpredictability, penetration, and precision of the rules of the mind, or it may be due to differences in the advancement process.
However, judging from the results, the Star Demon God is currently proving to be significantly less troublesome and dangerous than the Heart Demon God was initially.
[Although this comparison cannot definitively prove that the Heart Demon God is unique and special.]
Perhaps the Star Demon God hasn't yet adapted to the power, or perhaps there are other reasons.
But based on current observations, this is most likely the case.
[In the assessments of the three great world wills, based on cold probability and historical experience, the probability of a powerful inner demon god whose behavior patterns and combat intelligence are absurdly beyond reason being special is far higher than that of a seemingly relatively weak star demon god.]
The success of the Heart Demon God is perhaps truly a miracle resulting from a confluence of factors, including talent, opportunity, preparation, and even the gifts of memories from the previous timeline, rather than a standardized product that the sacrificial path can reliably mass-produce. This judgment is crucial for the three great worlds.
[And this, after the sudden intervention of the supreme divine power, the breakthrough and convergence of the Heart Demon Gods, and the chaotic situation that once spiraled out of control, is undoubtedly the only piece of good news that the three great worlds have received that can somewhat soothe their bewildered and uncertain hearts.]
While it couldn't eliminate their fear of the unknown fourth world, nor could it immediately change the difficulties they faced in besieging the Star Demon God, it at least gave them a glimmer of hope.
The threat posed by exceptional individuals may not be insurmountable.
[The Inner Demon God may be the most difficult special case to deal with, and other transcendent beings who achieved their status through sacrificial rituals may not all reach His level.]
This provides them with a psychological respite in dealing with the potential emergence of more transcendent beings, and allows them to refocus their attention on how to resolve the current chaos.
In June of the Extraordinary Calendar 1321, after a fierce and unpredictable struggle, this war of hunting and counter-hunting, which captivated the entire universe, finally came to an end.
Under your and the Heart Demon God's combined protection, the newly crowned Star Demon God, the Star Ruler, paid an incredibly heavy price for a slim chance of survival.
Faced with the increasingly robust and constantly adjusted composite blockade network of the three great worlds' wills, mere stellar power attacks are no longer effective.
[The Star Demon God displayed the decisiveness and ruthlessness befitting an ancient demon god, beginning to burn and detonate its own star avatar, condensed from the essence of stars!]
In the continuous breakthroughs and attacks, He lost a total of 3,572 star avatars.
The annihilation of each avatar signifies a temporary loss of some of the stellar rules, a tearing apart of divine sense, and a permanent depletion of primordial power; the pain is no less than that of being slowly sliced to death.
These avatars, through self-destruction, create brief vacuums of rules and turbulent flows of power at various nodes of the blocked network, like trying to pry open a crack by smashing a solid chain with the most precious gem.
Finally, after his starlight dimmed to near extinction and his divine core was riddled with cracks, the Star Demon God dragged his heavily wounded body and forcibly escaped the Great World's blockade, disappearing into the untraceable depths of the Star Abyss.
The moment His figure vanished, only a lingering, sorrowful, and resolute streak of starlight blood remained in the void.
Although He was severely injured, His Star Godhood required a long time to heal and repair, His torn divine soul needed to be reassembled, and His depleted essence required a massive amount of resources to replenish it. It would take a long time for Him to recover from His injuries.
[It could even leave behind permanent hidden dangers that will affect future roads.]
However, in today's context where individual transcendents are besieged and suppressed by the will of the larger world, simply surviving and escaping is an undeniable strategic victory!
To be alive means to have hope, to face uncertainty, and to mean that the will of the world cannot completely extinguish this path to transcendence.
【this!】
[This has already surpassed the Star Demon God's comprehension!]
[After all, He never imagined that He could escape from the encirclement of three great worlds.] (End of Chapter)
