Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

Chen Kou remained silent, only coldly staring at the person in front of him.

Blood vessels of varying thickness crawled up the whites of his eyes like earthworms, converging towards his pupils.

Chen Li was completely unaware of this.

Or rather,

Even if he notices it, he won't do anything about it.

Because the prophet named Song Siming had already told him personally what would happen next.

It's just the last moment of darkness before dawn.

"...Come on, Kou'er, draw your sword. Grandpa will accompany you one last time for a practice match."

Even though Chen Li had a thousand words in his heart, they all vanished into nothingness at this moment.

With a long sigh, he drew his sword from his waist with trembling right arm.

It must be said that time is a remarkably patient adversary.

Even the once spirited and powerful Third Elder of the Chen family could not gain the upper hand.

However, Chen Li's mood was not as heavy as his aging body.

The meaning of his life has long since shifted from becoming stronger in his youth, pursuing the limits of power and the ultimate in sword intent, to passing on his legacy.

Chen Li was already satisfied, as he could feel the sharp aura emanating from the young life ahead.

It was just a pity that he couldn't witness Chen Kou killing Lu Li.

however,

Just as Chen Li raised his long sword and assumed a fighting stance,

Chen Kou, who was standing opposite him, suddenly shook his head.

Chen Li was stunned; his previously calm heart suddenly became anxious.

"Kou'er, this is the final step!"

"Grandpa knows you're reluctant, but for the sake of the Chen family, you have to do this!"

"Pull out the knife and let Grandpa become the final stepping stone on your path to godhood!"

His passionate words were met with only a cold gaze.

Chen Kou shook his head again, looking utterly bored and indifferent, and said without any emotion:

"You are too old and too weak to be my opponent."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Li felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled in his heart.

He thought he was fully prepared for his final act of dedication.

But to his surprise, all he got in return was a remark from Chen Kou that he was not worthy to be his opponent.

In a daze, Chen Li couldn't help but recall the past.

It was as if I could see Chen Kou as a child, clinging to his arm after practicing his sword, asking all sorts of questions with innocent eyes.

At that time, although Chen Li felt that the child was not pure enough, it was not a big deal.

He firmly believes that time will polish Chen Kou into perfection.

But now...

Chen Kou had clearly reached his ideal state, and even significantly surpassed it.

But why does he always feel empty inside?

Just like the person who was separated by the prophet Song Siming using the authority of 'existence' was not Chen Li.

It was his grandson, Chen Kou!

It's as if the people of the past have passed away.

Now, all that stands before him is a proud and sharp blade!

"...It should have been this way, it should have been this way."

"That's exactly how it should be!!"

Chen Li suddenly murmured, his expression extremely complicated.

It seems like crying but not crying, it seems like smiling but not smiling.

In that instant, he moved.

The old, hunched figure, like a broken arrow, staggered towards the young man in front of him.

The long sword was raised, carrying an unwavering determination.

Chen Kou remained expressionless, as if the old man attacking him was merely a figment of his imagination.

But just as Chen Li's blade was about to strike his face, a sharp killing intent flashed in the young man's pupils.

Hand up, knife down!

There was no flash of cold light, no clang of metal.

The young man turned and left, leaving Chen Li alone to stagger a few steps before barely managing to stand.

Before long, a line of blood began to spread downwards from his forehead, rapidly spreading across the skin like a spider web.

Life, like a flickering candle, was extinguished in an instant by the howling wind.

The hunched figure exploded into a blood mist, without a sound.

Only the long sword fell to the ground, emitting a humming sound like a mournful cry.

Unfortunately, this slight noise was not enough to make the young man, who had already gone far away, turn back.

Because at this moment, Chen Kou had already reached the ultimate purity.

In my mind, free of distractions, only one word filled my attention—

kill!

……

Hot star field.

Blue Flame Star Region.

Demonic energy raged, and the Milky Way dimmed.

The monsters roamed in hordes, like ravenous locusts devouring everything in their path.

The tide is gone.

This star field seemed to have shattered all hope.

It's only a matter of time before it's completely corrupted and swallowed up.

Wu She had arrived long beforehand.

However, at this moment, he was keeping his figure hidden, concealing his aura, and observing in secret.

To be honest,

In fact, he didn't really trust the information provided by the Eighteenth Elder.

The only reason I was able to come to the Blue Flame Starfield was because the other party claimed to guarantee with their life that if there was any deception, they would be willing to commit suicide to atone for their sins.

However, after waiting for a long time...

Seeing the monsters in the star field still running rampant and frolicking, Wu She was losing patience.

The Eighteenth Elder is far too audacious, daring to mock even a chosen one who is about to ascend to godhood!

Just as Wu She was considering whether to go back now and kill the other party's relatives before the Eighteenth Elder committed suicide to atone for his sins,

In the dark star field filled with demonic energy, a new change suddenly occurred.

For some unknown reason, the swarms of monsters that had been rampaging like locusts gradually subsided.

The number of monsters inexplicably decreased sharply, and in the end, even the demonic energy became thin.

Wu She paused, staring intently.

With eyes scanning across the vast distance, they finally glimpsed some clues.

Numerous points of light could be seen weaving through the demonic tide, leaving trails of dark purple glow.

Any demonic creature touched by the ghostly light would vanish without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.

"It's actually true..." Wu She murmured, a look of surprise on his face.

Before he could react further, a new change occurred ahead.

The killings broke out.

The demonic tide includes not only low- to mid-level monsters whose minds have been clouded by the special force field, but also many powerful high-level monsters and even demon princes.

They noticed that a large number of their monsters had disappeared, so they naturally reacted immediately.

Although the darting streaks of light were not conspicuous, they were still accurately locked onto by these high-level demons after a search.

After failing to get any response to their questions, the only option left was to resort to violence.

Unfortunately,

The high-level monsters that tried to attack all ran into a brick wall, and none of them came out on top.

Those darting specks of light seemed to possess extraordinary combat power.

No matter how powerful the monsters on the other side are, to them, the only difference is whether they are killed in one or two rounds.

Wu She focused his attention further, trying to see the true nature of those points of light.

No matter how hard he tried, he was ultimately unable to glimpse any more details.

Unless you break stealth and get closer to the past.

But doing so would be tantamount to getting involved in a new war...

Although following the doctrines of godhood corresponding to authority is beneficial to his godhood process.

But what if the opponent is too weak?

What if the information from the Eighteen Elders is incorrect?

If those points of light are not the real culprits who slaughtered the Kro people, their actions could have a negative impact on the progress of ascending to godhood!

At such a critical juncture, we cannot afford to make any mistakes!
