Chapter 1689 Gods vs. Gods (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Northern mountain range of Mint

boom--

The radiant screen floating in the air shattered the moment the purple light appeared, and the radiant barrier of light hanging down from the sky in front of the three people also began to tremble violently.

“It is the power of the gods.” The old man beside him raised his head, his gaze passing through the barrier of light to the city of light and shadow behind the barrier, his eyes lowered.

“This barrier seems a bit unstable.” Levi looked up at the radiant barrier in front of him and said slowly.

Hearing this, the old man was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Levi beside him and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of the gods?"

“Fear,” Levy said casually, “is useless. If they succeed, we’ll probably all die.”

"The stability of this barrier has not been fundamentally compromised." The old man withdrew his gaze, not continuing on the topic, but instead raised his hand and lightly tapped the void, from which faint yellow light emanated from the barrier.

These rays of light acted like the skeleton of a barrier. Even as the barrier vibrated violently, these skeletons remained unmoved, even holding the trembling barrier in place and preventing it from collapsing.

"Is this barrier so sturdy? Even the power of a god wouldn't be enough to break its internal balance?" Levi frowned slightly. "This doesn't quite fit the common sense of the mystical."

“It must be that the gods inside deliberately avoided harming this seal,” the old man raised his eyes, gazing at the continuous city lights within the barrier, and the faint purple glow covering the city. “This is the power of the gods.”

"So when do we charge?" The bald man behind him poked his head out.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer." Levi frowned slightly, watching the yellow radiant skeleton spreading within the light. The skeleton remained stable without trembling in the slightest.

The old man stared at the trembling skeleton, his gaze lowered slightly. "Even the gods have intervened. Is there any chance of a turnaround?"

Levi's gaze also lowered slightly.

Primordial Wilderness
The gaze of the graceful purple figure fell on the spot where He Ao's eyes were, staring at the string of calm void.

There seemed to be nothing there, yet everything seemed to be there.

At one moment, He Ao felt as if another reflection appeared in his consciousness, overlapping with his consciousness and beginning to 'share' his vision.

The feeling was strange, as if his 'eyes' had become a camera. Originally, there was only one line connecting his consciousness, but now, that line had branched out into another line, connecting to another invisible 'reflection'.

That wasn't his consciousness, but his eyes showed no 'alarm' whatsoever.

Immediately afterwards, He Ao felt as if countless lines were spreading out in his consciousness, connecting little by little to the reflection.

He Ao stared at the graceful purple figure in front of him, noticing that the figure moved and looked at him with the same eyes. In an instant, his consciousness began to waver.

It was as if an invisible mirror stood before him, and the figure in it was his reflection, the figure in it was himself.

The mystical connections and lines of fate that had originally pointed to him seemed to fork at this moment, about to connect with the figure opposite him.

In his field of vision, the floating system panel was trembling slightly.

It looked as if the monitor had been interfered with by some kind of strong electromagnetic wave.

No, this might not be some kind of 'interference,' but rather some kind of 'hint.'

In that instant, He Ao was jolted awake from his chaotic perception and looked at the purple figure in front of him.

The graceful purple figure also turned her gaze to him.

Fine beads of sweat had already soaked through He Ao's back.

In that brief moment, with just that one glance that followed his movements, the Witch of Desire seemed to connect with his consciousness, share his vision, and peer into his deepest secrets.

Is this what gods are?

He tried to hinder this progress, but to no avail.

The graceful figure before him seemed to have truly become his reflection, a part of him, and even he himself began to acknowledge the existence of this reflection.

At one point, a thought even popped into his head.

Perhaps, the graceful figure before him is not his reflection, but rather he is the reflection of the graceful figure.

He simply mistakenly believed that he was the subject.

The moment the idea surfaced, it spread rapidly across the withered grass like an uncontrolled flame.
The mystical lines connecting He Ao to his body also began to branch rapidly, drifting towards the graceful figure.

His consciousness began to become chaotic, as if it were completely filled with invisible madness and pollution.

He Ao gritted his teeth, clinging to the last shred of clarity, and stared at the trembling system panel in his eyes.

Has the mysterious shadow not found this place yet? Why is it moving so slowly?
Soon, a conjecture quickly surfaced in He Ao's mind.

No, the mysterious shadow has definitely been found.

But He did not intervene.

He is likely watching the show from some rift outside of time and space, and He is also interested in Heo's secret.

So He chose to stand by and wait for the Witch of Desire to uncover all of Heo's secrets before launching a surprise attack.

This old coin!!!
Good friends are truly loyal!

In the pitch-black void, bound by countless chains, the old man, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened them, and a green light illuminated his eyes.

In that instant, the green light from the void reappeared and rushed toward the old man.

At that moment, the white light that had been flowing over the old man rose up like water and instantly met the green light.

Then, the old man gazed ahead, and the runes on the chains lit up, a terrifying power surging through the void.

The emergence of this power seemed to have finally awakened the power of something that had not been paying attention to this place.

In that instant, a faint gray light spilled out from the gaps in the chains, and then a vast gaze traversed countless times and spaces, seemingly about to descend.

The green stardust radiance suddenly surged, frantically trying to devour the old man's body, but was quickly blocked by the vibrating white radiance.

And his vast gaze, transcending time and space, descended at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There seemed to be some force in the surrounding void that was preventing the gaze from descending, but for the gaze itself, this did not seem to be a particularly significant obstacle.

Just as that gaze was about to descend completely, the green starlight trembled suddenly and retreated from the old man's body.

It seems they agreed to some kind of 'agreement'.

In that instant, the old man's consciousness also vanished, withdrawing from this void.

The runic radiance spreading across the entwined chains quickly faded and disappeared.

That vast gaze lost its focus and slowly returned.

The green stardust radiance paused slightly at that moment before disappearing into the depths of the void and darkness.

Only the remaining white light trembled slightly before receding back into the old man's body.

All of this happened extremely quickly, in a time even shorter than a fleeting instant.

This void of darkness returned to calm once more.

Primordial Wilderness
Estella hovered in the air, looked up at her inverted reflection above her and the shadowy city below.

The tremors above the reflection were becoming increasingly violent, and the dense mist was rapidly thinning.

On the earth, between the shadowy cities, wisps of mist are slowly emerging, covering the gaps between the cities and spreading upwards like a rising tide.

Estella watched all this quietly. She slightly raised her hand, and the mist that covered the entire land began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, the fog began to thicken rapidly, and the shadowy humanoid figures on the ground seemed to be stimulated by something, and one by one they began to faint as the fog engulfed them.

Meanwhile, the fog that filled the sky above began to thin out at a visible speed.

call--

As a massive storm erupted from the depths of the world, the mist in the sky above trembled violently.

It was a huge limb, seemingly tangible yet intangible, outlined by lines, emerging from the mist.

The moment the limb extended, it quickly disappeared into the mist.

But in that instant, it was as if a violent wind had been unleashed at the bottom of the world, causing the entire void and the entire primordial wilderness to shake violently.

As Estella watched this scene, a ferocious smile appeared on her usually calm face for the first time. She raised her hands and shouted excitedly, "Almost there, almost there! The great anomaly will finally be released! A new world is coming!"

As her excited voice rang out, the colossal creature in the sky began to move with an even more intense frequency than before.

Thick fog connected the sky to the ground, like a giant waterfall pouring the mist from the sky onto the earth.

The fog in the sky began to dissipate at a faster rate, while the fog on the ground increased, gradually burying all the buildings.

As the fog shifted, the sky and the earth seemed to switch roles at that moment.

The world seems to be spinning at this moment, the original sky is turning into the earth, and the original earth is gradually rising high into the sky.

Beneath the sky, He Ao's gaze was fixed on the graceful purple figure before him. His perception and his sense of self seemed to be rapidly fading away with the passage of time.

The system panel in his field of vision seemed to be gradually starting to split apart.

The being that attempted to assimilate his consciousness seemed to finally be about to uncover the deepest secrets of his consciousness.

If you go a little further ahead, you'll see things that only he can see.

boom--

At that very moment, a violent roar tore through the void.

A giant hand made entirely of starlight reached out from the crack and grasped at the sky.

The graceful purple figure standing in front of He Ao trembled slightly, but before He Ao could react, the huge starlight hand stretched out completely and grabbed the graceful purple figure.

boom--

As if some invisible barrier had been torn apart in an instant, He Ao's body fell downwards like a streak of light, crashing into the dense fog below.

The graceful purple figure raised her head, staring at the giant starlight hand, a hint of anger flashing across her beautiful face.

Countless purple rays of light shot into the sky, rushing towards the giant starlight hand.

But one or two beams of light also broke through and rushed towards the mist below and He'ao within it.

"cough--"

On that misty land, He Ao coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to his feet.

He raised his head and looked at the purple light rushing from the sky, the red light igniting in his eyes.

He raised his hand, and the giant tree emblem in his palm shone brightly once more.

The sudden arrival of the mysterious shadow tore apart the mystical barrier erected by the Witch of Desire, allowing He Ao to reconnect with external forces for a short period of time.

He looked at the emblem in his palm, took a deep breath, and activated its power.

A burst of white light erupted from his palm in an instant, transforming into a hazy phantom of a giant tree. This phantom swayed gently, and the scattered light spots formed a barrier, blocking the incoming purple radiance.

The remaining light spots fell into He Ao's body, instantly healing most of the torn wounds on his body.

He Ao glanced at the phantom of the giant tree.

This was a 'divine spell' he obtained by praying to the Goddess of Life through Pete, in exchange for the Goddess of Life's protection through a certain sacrifice.

Of course, under normal circumstances, sacrifices are offered first, followed by the bestowal of favors.

After a brief discussion, the goddess of life allowed him to postpone the offering, drawing on the blessing in advance, and then make the sacrifice later.

Seeing the giant tree blocking the purple rays of light and hearing the violent tremors in the sky, He Ao raised his eyes and looked into the mist.

At this moment, shadowy human figures lay scattered all around him on the ground.

These humanoid figures had now fully revealed their human bodies and shapes, and the cities of the real world were almost completely dragged into this wilderness.

Heo stared at the shadowy figures; they were not dead, but rather in a deep coma.

The life force within them was rapidly waning, as if some invisible conduit was connected to them, draining their life force.

He Ao raised his head and looked up.

A violent tremor was resounding in the heavens, sweeping across the depths of the world with a raging storm—it was a battle between gods.

The Mysterious Shadow's stance is similar to Heo's; it does not want to see the anomaly break free of the seal.

The reason is simple: He is probably the mastermind behind Estella and the others who guided them to seal the anomaly.

This seal can utilize the residual power of the gods, and the seal itself also carries a strong cognitive interference, causing everyone to 'forget' the abnormality of the seal.

All of this demonstrates that the seal itself is of extremely high status.

However, this unusual sealing structure, which covers the entire northeastern region of the Federation, is different from all the mystical sealing techniques of the former Federation and the current Federation.

Without any prior knowledge, it is highly unlikely that Estella and others could have built such a high level of occult knowledge from scratch.

Unless their knowledge itself comes from a higher being.
