Final chapter, SS-level talent crystal stone – the fate of the human emperor!

Everyone felt as though they had been locked onto by a cold gaze.

The faces of the Ice Crystal King, the Lizardman Chieftain, and the others were as pale as paper at this moment.

They murmured in low voices, "The worst-case scenario… has happened after all."

A god is about to descend!

At this moment, the entire Western Continent sensed this terrifying aura!

Whether they were ordinary people or those powerful experts.

Even some slumbering existences were awakened by this power.

Those Survivors raised their heads one after another, gazing at the giant blood-colored eye hanging in the sky, their hearts filled with endless fear and despair!

However, just by taking one look, their bodies felt as if all their strength had been drained, leaving them frozen in place.

Across the territories of a dozen surrounding kingdoms, countless living beings fell into an eerie silence, as if time itself had frozen at this moment.

Only the torrential rain of blood falling from the sky continued to descend in silence.

This is the terror of a god!

In the Weilon Kingdom at this moment.

Cao Xing looked at this giant eye, but unlike the other Survivors, he did not stand frozen in place.

The crystal in his mind continued to emit waves of energy, protecting him from the intrusion of these forces.

"Damn it, even a god has come; there's no way to play this anymore!"

Cao Xing complained, his tone filled with helplessness.

However, he did not appear overly panicked by the scene before him.

After all, this Western Continent was not his Western Continent alone.

The waters of this world run deep; up until now, Cao Xing had only explored a corner of the continent.

In such a vast territory, there must be existences hidden that are capable of contending with gods.

For example, that mysterious old witch.

Although he didn't know how strong she truly was, the fact that she could fight against those existences within the thick fog was enough to prove her extraordinary nature.

"Next, it depends on whether those guys are willing to make a move."

"If they aren't willing to move, then we're all finished together."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing turned his head to look at the people beside him and said in a calm tone, "Everyone, we need to prepare to run."

"Do you know of any secret places, preferably ones that can evade a god's perception?"

Hearing this, the Yōulán Queen, the Ice Crystal King, and the others all revealed looks of surprise, their eyes filled with some bewilderment.

"Run?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, or are you really going to stay here and wait for the god to descend?"

"We have fought to this extent; we have already done our best."

"An enemy of this level is completely beyond our ability to handle; staying here is just throwing our lives away."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, that Legendary gnome suddenly spoke up: "I do know of a secret place where we can hide for a while. However, once we go in, it might take a long time before we can come out."

Everyone turned their gaze toward him.

A hint of slight smugness appeared on this guy's face.

The Kunad War King laughed and said, "Grey, I knew you were a coward who feared death; you've had an escape route prepared for a long time."

That Legendary gnome immediately retorted, "Bullshit, this is just being prepared for a rainy day!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

By now, they no longer felt the fear of facing a god.

Just as Cao Xing had said, in the face of such a crisis sweeping the entire continent, the few of them had already done their best.

If those hidden experts didn't want to make a move, then that was no longer their concern.

Meanwhile, that giant eye in the sky was rapidly approaching.

It seemed as if it were trying to force its way in through the breach in the world barrier.

"Gurgle… Gurgle—"

Waves of sounds of writhing flesh came through, as if the entire world were trembling at its descent.

The Lizardman Chieftain took a deep breath, "Everyone, if we are going to run, let's set off now!"

"Any later, once this guy truly descends, we won't have a chance."

"Alright!"

Everyone responded one after another.

A strong earthy-yellow light erupted from the Lizardman Chieftain, enveloping everyone!

Just as he was preparing to take everyone and run.

In the altar area below, some kind of abnormality appeared once again!

"Boom!"

A brilliant golden light erupted from the altar, instantly dispersing the surrounding blood-colored energy.

A golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, right toward that breach!

An illusory figure gradually emerged from the golden light.

"Hmm?"

Everyone fixed their eyes on it.

And gradually saw the figure clearly.

His body was covered in savage wounds, and especially in his chest, a giant blood-colored blade was embedded!

This person was none other than the Watchers leader, Luo.

At this moment, Luo was still in a state of dejection, looking at the sky with listless eyes.

When he saw that giant eye, he seemed to understand something.

He murmured in a low voice, "So that's how it is—"

"Was this scene already prophesied a thousand years ago?"

"When the blood descends, the inheritor shall swallow the god's blood core, thereby ascending to the throne of god."

"Then, the inheritor shall absorb the blood power of the entire world, cleansing the darkness of the entire world—"

"From then on—the entire continent will welcome a new birth—"

"In other words, this guy is the god left for me to absorb."

A look of realization appeared in Luo's eyes.

Then, a dark blue heart slowly appeared in his hand.

That heart looked as if it were still beating slightly, as if it contained some kind of vast and eerie divine power!

Cao Xing felt this divine power and frowned slightly.

He thought to himself, "Why does this power feel somewhat familiar?"

"It seems somewhat similar to the drop of [Blood of the God of Filth] I obtained earlier."

Luo looked down at the heart in his hand and muttered to himself:

"According to the prophecy, I will use this heart to completely kill this descending god."

"Now, it is exactly the same as the scene in the prophecy—"

"Who exactly is arranging all of this behind the scenes?"

He raised his head, looking at the sky, as if wanting to see through that blood-colored eye to the truth hidden behind it.

Cao Xing, the Lizardman Chieftain, and the others nearby all heard his muttering.

Cao Xing's expression was somewhat strange as he said in a low voice, "Is what this guy says true?"

"He can destroy this god and then ascend to the godhood himself?"

The Lizardman Chieftain nodded, his tone carrying a hint of complexity: "It should be true. Luo inherited the legacy of the Ancient Human Emperor; what he is saying must have been seen from that inheritance."

Cao Xing frowned and muttered, "Then what do we do now? The situation is a bit complicated now—"

If what Luo said was true, he was indeed the chosen one from the prophecy.

Destroying the creatures of the Blood Plane and then becoming a new god himself.

By then, not only would the crisis of the god's descent be resolved, but this world would also welcome a new god.

With the power of a god, he might truly be able to realize his ideals!

Overthrowing the corrupt systems of the entire Western Continent and reshaping order.

But… this guy is an enemy to them.

If he becomes a god, will he turn around and come to deal with me?

For a moment, everyone didn't know how to handle the situation before them.

However, at this moment, the Watchers leader, Luo, suddenly laughed.

The laughter carried a hint of exhaustion and relief.

"However,"

"I am already tired—"

He said in a low voice, his tone revealing a deep sense of weariness.

"From thousands of years ago, I have been constantly working for this ideal, without a single day of relaxation."

"Only until now do I realize that my ideals cannot bring salvation to everyone—"

"Many people have died innocently because of my obsession—"

"Even my most trusted companions have left me one by one."

"Ren Feng was right; even if I succeeded in the end, if only I were left alone, what would be the point?"

"So—I won't play this game with you all anymore."

Before his voice faded, Luo's figure suddenly moved, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand out of thin air!

"Swish!"

A brilliant sword light shot into the sky, as if it could sever heaven and earth, rushing straight into the clouds with boundless might!

This sword strike exhausted all of Luo's strength.

"Ah!!!"

That giant eye was struck, letting out bursts of shrill screams, as if even the sky were trembling because of it!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Base ant! You actually dare to harm me; I will crush you bit by bit!"

"You are dead! Once I descend into this world, you will definitely regret your actions!"

Angry roars continued to come from the sky, but Luo paid them no heed.

He raised his head, looking at the sky with a calm gaze, and murmured in a low voice: "So-called ideals were a joke from the very beginning."

"Including myself, I am also a joke."

"Now, all of this should end."

The next moment, he waved his hand casually.

That golden stone tablet suddenly turned into a beam of golden light and rushed into the high sky.

The stone tablet rapidly enlarged in the air, and the golden light spread out like a tide, actually intending to block that huge gap in the sky!

However, that huge blood eye obviously would not sit and wait for death!

"You want to use the rule power of the 'Heavenly Fate Golden Tablet' to repair the world barrier and stop my descent? Wishful thinking!"

Before the words fell, a blood-colored ray shot out violently from the blood eye!

This ray seemed to have pierced through from another world, carrying the power to destroy everything!

It actually forced the golden light of the stone tablet back!

The stone tablet, which was originally rushing toward the gap, was blocked by the blood-colored ray, appearing somewhat shaky, and even showing faint signs of being pushed back.

The power of a god was truly beyond imagination; to think it could launch an attack from across another world!

However, there was not a trace of panic on Luo's face.

He said in a low voice: "My power originates from the stone tablet—now, it is time to return these powers."

As he finished speaking, his body gradually became illusory, turning into wisps of golden light that converged toward the stone tablet. The stone tablet, which had been in a disadvantageous position, suddenly erupted with brilliant light after Luo's power was injected into it.

And Luo's figure became increasingly illusory.

In the final moment of his life, he turned his head, his gaze falling on Cao Xing in the crowd.

His lips moved slightly, seemingly saying something to him.

Then, Luo's figure completely dissipated, turning into specks of golden light that merged into the stone tablet.

"Boom!!!"

The stone tablet erupted with unprecedented light, forcefully pushing that blood-colored ray back.

"No!!!" That huge eyeball let out a desperate cry.

"This is the opportunity we have waited thousands of years for!"

"How can—how can it end just like this!"

"No!!!"

However, no matter how it roared or struggled, that golden light remained unstoppable!

Finally, with the power to suppress everything, it directly blocked the huge gap above.

In an instant, those terrifying scenes in the sky disappeared.

The blood rain stopped, the wild winds calmed, and even that huge eye was completely isolated by the golden light.

The entire world seemed to return to peace at this moment.

Those Survivors, commoners, and even soldiers who had been frozen in place all regained their ability to move.

They looked up at the golden light above, murmuring: "Is—is it over?"

"It seems so—"

"What exactly happened in that place?"

For those ordinary people, they had only seen a terrifying phenomenon appear in the sky.

Subsequently, these phenomena completely disappeared.

It only added up to a few minutes.

They did not know that a terrifying entity had almost descended upon this world just now.

On the battlefield of the Weilun Kingdom at this moment, the Ice Crystal King, the Yōulán Queen, and others were all looking at the sky timidly, unable to recover for a long time.

Ever since that stone tablet repaired the breach in the world barrier, it had gradually dimmed.

Finally, it turned into an ordinary night sky, with only faint starlight remaining.

For the group of experts on the field, what they experienced tonight could be called thrilling and full of ups and downs.

First, they fought a great battle with the Watchers, successfully defeating their opponents and destroying the grand formation.

Then, they witnessed the leader of the Watchers being backstabbed by his most trusted elder, as well as the sneak attack by the Blood Commander, leading to a complete collapse.

Later, Aetius opened the altar again, breaking the world barrier and summoning two Blood Commanders and over a dozen Legendary Myriarchs.

Then, after another great battle, Cao Xing killed a Demigod-level entity on the spot.

In the end, even a god was about to descend into this world!

In less than an hour, they had experienced things that some experts might not encounter in their entire lives.

Fortunately, however, it was all over.

All the Blood Myriarchs and Blood Commanders in this world had been killed.

The Watchers organization was wiped out.

The world barrier was also repaired.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

The Ice Crystal King sighed: "Unexpectedly, the Blood Legion that lasted for two thousand years, and the Watchers who had plagued this world for thousands of years, were actually ended by us."

Although the god was pushed back by Luo in the end, the contributions made by these kings and Cao Xing in this war were crucial.

The Yōulán Queen nodded and agreed with emotion: "Indeed—"

Nearby, the gnome from the Gray Mist Kingdom seemed to recall something and suddenly laughed: "We have achieved such amazing feats; we can be considered creators of history."

"After we go back, I must have the historian record today's events."

"Let those guys know that it was us who saved this continent!"

The Kunad War King heard this and couldn't help but tease: "You fellow, you will definitely make the historian describe yourself as heroic and invincible, and then make us all your foils."

"In my opinion, it's better not to record it at all."

Everyone nodded: "That's right, I suggest we all supervise it together to avoid certain people exaggerating."

The Legendary gnome said somewhat guiltily: "How is that possible? You are judging a gentleman by the heart of a villain!"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

The tense atmosphere on the field dissipated a little as a result.

However, Cao Xing was still standing there blankly at this moment, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock just now.

Because he had heard what Luo said to him at the very end.

"Cao Xing, I think you also know some secrets of this world."

"The disappeared gods, the Ancient Dragon, the Six True Gods, and so on—"

"I once wanted to explore these secrets, but I was unable to do so."

"Through our contact during this time, I can see that you are more suitable than I am to inherit the legacy of the Human Emperor."

"Go to the Land of Divine War; the secrets of the ancient times are hidden there, as well as the inheritance place of the human race—"

"There, you can obtain the power of the Human Emperor and the heritage of the human race, provided that—you are interested."

After Luo finished speaking, two streams of light flew toward Cao Xing.

A system prompt appeared.

[For unknown reasons, you have obtained a special item: Talent Crystal · Human Emperor Destiny (SS-grade Talent)]

[You have obtained a special item: Heart of the God of Filth]

At this moment, Cao Xing's eyes widened instantly!

"Holy crap! SS-grade Talent, Human Emperor Destiny!"

"And the Heart of the God of Filth!"

"These were all left for me by that guy?"

Cao Xing fell into a brief state of daze again.

You know, up until now, except for his own SSS-grade Talent [Eternal Power].

The strongest talent he had seen among Survivors was only Tian Jing's S-grade Talent [Undead].

Even a talent like [Goblin King] was only A-grade.

Now, suddenly obtaining an SS-grade Talent Crystal was completely beyond his imagination.

As for the latter item, it was even more terrifying!

After all, that was the heart of a god!

And according to what Luo said before he died, this heart had a profound origin and even possessed the power to kill gods.

"Good grief, the harvest from this great battle is simply terrifying!" Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

In addition to these two heaven-defying items, Cao Xing also had a reward for the first kill of a Demigod-level entity.

Moreover, the Demigod-level Blood Commander he killed also dropped several special items.

Including the items dropped after other Myriarchs died, all of them were picked up by Sarah.

Obviously, after this great battle, if he could digest all of these, it would be enough to take his strength to the next level!

Cao Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and scanned his surroundings.

Then he saw the kings who were chatting.

A smile couldn't help but appear on Cao Xing's face, and he said: "Everyone, the battle is over."

"Next, we should be able to have some peace for a while."

Everyone also looked up one after another, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

"Indeed—"

The Ice Crystal King sighed: "We should be able to have some peace for a while—"

"However, this war has destroyed quite a bit of the kingdom's territory, and we will need a long time to recuperate—"
