Chapter 323: Twilight of the Gods

Outside the Dragon Mountain Great Hall.

Numerous members of the Longshan Family looked up at the firmament with trembling hearts.

There, gigantic stars were plunging into the mortal world like falling rain.

It was not just one or two stars falling, but all the stars across vast regions and even the entire vault of heaven were falling.

This was simply unimaginable.

Everyone's mind was in a complete blur, staring blankly at the shocking scene before them.

One must know that in this world, the stars above the firmament were not merely stars; they were where the Divine Kingdoms of the gods resided, symbolizing the immortality of the deities.

Even those without any faith would hold the utmost awe toward the stars above the firmament, as that was the limit of what life could reach.

For long years, in the eyes of almost everyone, the stars above the firmament were eternal and unchanging. From their birth to death, and down to the birth and death of their descendants, the stars they saw were always the exact same stars.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the stars above the firmament were almost as eternally enduring as this world itself.

But now, the worldview of the numerous Longshan Family members began to shatter, because the stars all over the sky were actually plummeting in unison.

"What is going on?"

"The stars—those are the Divine Kingdoms of deities, how could they fall?"

"The fall of a Divine Kingdom implies the demise of a deity, but how is this possible?"

"Deities are immortal, how could they possibly perish?"

The members of the Longshan Family found it hard to believe. Some even felt they were dreaming, and after giving themselves a few slaps, they found they could still feel the pain, causing the panic in their hearts to almost overflow.

"Not good, the Clan Chief just entered the Ocean of Light."

"The Divine Kingdoms of the deities are falling rapidly. Clearly, something major has happened within the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss. Nothing bad has happened to the Clan Chief, has it?"

Certain leaders of the Longshan Family thought more deeply; Lin Yuan was the towering pillar of the Longshan Family, and just as he was about to lead the Family toward the Peak of the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau, this incident actually occurred?

"I hope the Clan Chief is alright."

A few elderly members of the Longshan Family thought silently in their hearts.

Above the firmament, countless stars that had hung high in the sky for long years began to fall simultaneously. Naturally, it was not only the members of the Longshan Family who could see this.

At this moment, all living beings across the vast mortal world, the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau, and other places where countless creatures gathered also noticed the changes above the firmament.

"The stars are falling?"

"Are deities perishing?"

"How is this possible? How could so many deities perish all at once?"

In many hidden corners, demigod old monsters who had survived tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years were equally dumbfounded.

They had lived longer, knew past history, and were aware of the existence of the God War.

Deities were not incapable of perishing; it was just that deities lived for such a long time that almost all living beings believed deities were eternal.

But in reality, deities could also die, such as during the God War.

During the God War, True Gods of the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss would slaughter each other, which would lead to the demise of deities.

But no matter how cruel a God War was, dying dozens or a hundred deities was the absolute limit. But now? How many more than thousands of stars were falling?

The heartbeats of many demigod old monsters began to slow down, because the scene before them was too shocking to their Souls. Some demigod old monsters even doubted whether all the gods in the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, how could so many stars fall simultaneously?

"What on earth is going on?"

"What exactly happened in the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss?"

"Could it be that the twenty-four Main Gods joined forces to slaughter the gods?"

Many demigod old monsters could not help guessing in this direction, and expressions of fear inevitably surfaced on their faces.

The only ones capable of making numerous True Gods perish like this at once were Main Gods, and not just a single Main God, but a slaughter jointly carried out by twenty-four Main Gods.

If even a single Main God disagreed and resisted, the frequency of falling stars would not be this fast.

From the regions and scope of the falling stars, the demigod old monsters vaguely deduced that a slaughter targeting True Gods was taking place in either the Ocean of Light or the Dark Abyss.

This slaughter was one-sided; the various True Gods on the slaughtered side had no ability to resist at all.

This left all the demigod old monsters feeling somewhat disheartened. They did not know how much price they had paid to ignite the divine fire, step into the seventh rank, and then go into hiding, secretly gathering faith, wanting to condense a Divine Kingdom and elevate it.

Yet now they saw True Gods, whom they regarded as their Ultimate goal, being slaughtered like pigs and dogs in the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss.

So the deities they once viewed as high and mighty could also have such feeble moments? Unable to determine their own fates? Could only obediently wait for death?

For a time, the states of mind of many demigod old monsters became unstable, and the divine fires they had ignited even began to flicker.

What faith is there still to condense? What Divine Kingdom to elevate? Even if one became a True God and entered the Ocean of Light, what could be done?

That place might not even be as safe as the mortal world, nor allow one to live as leisurely as in the mortal world.

"Why are the Main Gods slaughtering True Gods?"

"For faith? That shouldn't be the case. The twenty-four Main Gods occupy the majority of the faith in the mortal world. Even if they purged all True Gods, their own faith would not undergo a qualitative change."

"Are they worried that their status is being threatened? That is also impossible. Leaving aside the disparity in strength between Main Gods and True Gods, the number of Main Gods is fixed. No matter how shockingly brilliant a True God is, without a Main Godhead, they still cannot become a Main God, let alone shake the status of the Main Gods."

The numerous demigod old monsters communicated rapidly.

"The dignified twenty-four Upper Main Gods have actually entered the arena to slaughter ordinary True Gods." A relatively young demigod spoke with an indignant tone, wanting to condemn the twenty-four Main Gods.

Right at this moment.

Higher up in the firmament, located in an even higher region above all the stars, twenty-four gigantic stars hung high. These were the Divine Kingdoms belonging to the Main Gods.

And now, following the stars plunging into the mortal world one by one, the twenty-four gigantic stars in this region also began to fall one by one.

One.

Two.

Five.

Ten.

In just a few breaths, more than ten Main God Divine Kingdoms plunged into the mortal world.

This caused the mortal demigods who were condemning and criticizing the twenty-four Main Gods to fall completely silent, and then they plunged into confusion.

It turned out that it was not just True Gods perishing.

The Main Gods were also perishing?

This scene raised an unprecedented terror in the hearts of all demigods.

Main Gods were perishing.

And they were perishing in large batches.

Then who on earth was doing the slaughtering?

If the twenty-four Main Gods joined forces to slaughter True Gods, then how could Main Gods also be perishing?

One must know that battles and killings among Main Gods were protracted. Even the strongest Light Lord God and Dark Main God would find it almost impossible to kill the weakest Main God.

Let alone an overwhelming kill like this?

"The Ocean of Light, the Dark Abyss, what on earth has happened…" An aged demigod whose Lifespan was coming to an end and whose divine fire was about to burn out muttered to himself.

Even Main Gods were perishing; this was something that had never happened even during the God War.

"Twilight of the Gods, this is the Twilight of the Gods." Another demigod thought silently in their hearts.

The gods here referred to True Gods as well as Main Gods.

"Not good, the Divine Kingdoms plunging into the mortal world will cause immeasurable impact on the mortal world." Some demigods seemed to associate this with something.

Even demigods as strong as them were shocked by the scene of stars falling all over the sky, yet a very few demigods thought of what consequences these stars plunging into the mortal world would lead to.

Long ages ago, the God War of the deities caused several stars to plunge into the mortal world, thereby causing irreversible destructive impacts on it.

It had not recovered for hundreds of thousands of years; those desperate lands and Forbidden Lands in the mortal world were the final landing locations of the former Divine Kingdoms.

After all, what was plunging down were not stars, but Divine Kingdoms—Divine Kingdoms containing massive amounts of energy.

Just a few falling stars had caused such severe consequences. Now, with stars falling all over the sky, among them were even more vast Main God Divine Kingdoms—

If these Divine Kingdoms were truly allowed to land, the mortal world might still exist, but ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of the living beings surviving in the mortal world would definitely die.

Not many of these demigod old monsters would probably survive either.

"This is not the Twilight of the Gods, this is the Doom of All Living Beings!" A demigod took the initiative to appear, no longer caring about hiding or not, since they would die in the end anyway.

As for running? At the speed at which the stars were plunging into the mortal world, where could demigods run to? Furthermore, with so many stars falling in unison, no matter how far one ran, they would still be within the coverage range of the Divine Kingdoms.

Hum!!!

Just as many demigods turned pale, realizing that they were about to welcome death,

a black and white Yin and Yang light barrier, in a transverse manner, crossed the vast mortal world. In the posture of a giant net, it completely netted in all the stars that had plunged into the mortal world.

At the two ends of the mortal world,

Lin Yuan's two major Primordial Spirits, the Taiyin Primordial Spirit and the Solar Nascent Soul, stood suspended in the air.

That Yin and Yang Taiji giant net that horizontally cut across the entire mortal world was precisely Lin Yuan's creation.

Long ago, Lin Yuan had already set his sights on the Divine Kingdoms of the gods. The existence of these Divine Kingdoms was calculated in tens of thousands of years, continuously absorbing countless faiths and containing a massive amount of pure energy.

Now that Lin Yuan's true body had gone to the Ocean of Light to negotiate with the gods, once the negotiations failed and action was taken, Lin Yuan naturally would not waste those falling stars.

Even if he could not use them himself, he could use Primal Power to return all the Divine Kingdoms to the origin and source, transforming them into the purest energy, and then have the Primal Refined Gold absorb them.

Bringing them back to the Main World through indirect means.

Swish swish swish.

Accompanied by the opening of the black and white Yin and Yang Taiji giant net, one Divine Kingdom after another appeared within Lin Yuan's Internal World.

To accommodate so many Divine Kingdoms at once, and even include the Divine Kingdoms of Main Gods—if it were the Internal World of other Rank Nine Experts, it would definitely be blown apart.

But Lin Yuan's Internal World intuitively had a size of nearly two hundred million li in radius, and he had even opened up one hundred and twenty million layers of space.

Most importantly, Lin Yuan had a total of three such Internal Worlds.

One for the true body, one for the Solar Nascent Soul, and one for the Taiyin Primordial Spirit.

Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan's two major Primordial Spirits had long since transformed into flesh and blood using the Illusory Reality secret technique, and then with the help of the Mysterious Gourd, they amplified their physical bodies and Internal World to the upper limit currently achievable.

"Too much, simply too much."

Lin Yuan felt joyful in his mind. Every Divine Kingdom that entered the Internal World would be rapidly dissolved and differentiated, and then refined into the bell-shaped Primal Refined Gold.

The vast mortal world.

The numerous demigods who had originally intended to close their eyes and wait for death abruptly discovered that an extra layer of black and white Yin and Yang Taiji giant net had appeared beneath the firmament.

The moment all the stars plunging into the mortal world made contact with the giant net, they vanished, as if they had never appeared.

"What is this? It actually blocked the falling Divine Kingdoms?"

The numerous demigod old monsters found it hard to believe. Divine Kingdoms falling from above the firmament carried terrifying energy and impact, which definitely far exceeded a strike after the corresponding True God burned their divine body and Divine Power.

The falling of stars all over the sky was equivalent to everything after the gods burned everything. Even as strong as Main Gods, they would not dare to take it head-on.

But now, under that Yin and Yang giant net, all the falling stars were easily dissolved, among which were also the massive Divine Kingdoms of the Main Gods.

"The owner of this giant net…"

Some demigod old monsters trembled in their hearts, vaguely guessing that the owner of the giant net might be the source causing the demise of the gods and the Main Gods.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

The stars hanging high above the firmament had just begun to fall, only to be swept away by the giant net?

And to have the strength to casually block the impact of so many falling stars—slaughtering the gods and the Main Gods did not seem like such an impossible thing either, right?

The Ocean of Light.

Under the strike driven by Lin Yuan's Internal World, the terrifying power followed the layers of space, crushing everything it could touch.

In just a flash, more than eighty percent of the True Gods perished. The remaining twenty percent of the True Gods were Upper God Peaks with sturdy divine bodies; even if turned into dust, they could re-condense.

The life forms of the deities in this world had undergone changes, abandoning their original flesh and blood bodies. Their divine bodies were composed of the purest Power Of Faith.

There were no so-called flaws.

But unfortunately, under the strike that continuously shook the layers of space, no matter how many times these Upper Gods condensed, they would subsequently be turned into dust.

Even the high and mighty Main Gods, caught off guard, had their Main God bodies shattered many times. Lin Yuan's main target for this strike was the Main Gods; as for those True Gods, what they bore was basically just the aftermath.

Therefore, before a small portion of the True Gods had completely died out, Main Gods had already begun to perish.

"What on earth is this, what level of power is this?"

"Demon Net Goddess, didn't you say that the Dragon Mountain Chieftain hadn't exceeded the Rank Nine level?"

"This is a Supreme God, this is might at the Supreme God level."

Main God after Main God roared in anger, utilizing all means to try to block the strike piercing through the layers of space, but it was completely meaningless; their divine bodies shattered again and again.

Even with the profound foundation of the Main Gods, they could not withstand having their bodies shattered over and over like this.

"Let's go."

The Dark Abyss Main God without hesitation wanted to escape, but quickly encountered the spatial layer barrier sealed by the Light Lord God.

"Light Lord God, you deserve to die."

The Dark Abyss Main Gods were crazily cursing the Light Lord God in their hearts. To Main Gods like them, breaking open the spatial layer barrier sealing the Ocean of Light was indeed difficult, but it was only difficult.

However, it would take some time.

But right now, where was there any time?

Boom, boom, boom.

Main God after Main God of the Dark Abyss wanted to escape, but could not escape.
