Buzz!
The time law surged, the air trembled, and wherever it passed, all the giant beasts and invading vines were frozen in place.
John seized the opportunity, ruthlessly slaughtering the beasts and destroying the vines.
“Hmph, such a weak time law, and you think you can trap me? Break for me!” Eluen’s cold voice echoed.
Crack!
With a sharp sound, Time Stop was shattered.
John was struck by a backlash, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Roar!
Roars of fury rang out as the beasts regained their movement, continuing to wreak havoc and destroy everything around them.
Countless vines interwove, sweeping forward, devouring the power of the world.
“Damn it!” John roared in fury, feeling the energy within him drain away rapidly, unable to stop it.
Not only that, but even his life force was rapidly disappearing.
It was The Tree of Life!
At this moment, the leaves of The Tree of Life had turned yellow, withered, and began to fall. Life energy was fading. He and The Tree of Life were still in a life-sharing state.
Though The Tree of Life wasn’t the core of his world, it provided endless life force for the world.
As his world was being destroyed, The Tree of Life bore the brunt.
In a life-sharing state, his life force was also rapidly draining away.
“Bastard, get away from me!” A furious shout erupted, and the Heavenly King surged forward, charging at the vines coming from above with terrifying aura emanating from his body.
He was about to self-destruct.
“Heavenly King, no!” John cried out in panic, trying to stop him, but it was too late.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the world. The terrifying energy rippled through the surroundings, destroying countless vines and momentarily halting the chaos.
At that moment, two more figures shot out.
It was Chaos and Forest King—they too were preparing to self-destruct.
“Bastards, stop it!” John’s eyes turned bloodshot as he furiously tried to stop them.
Boom, boom…
Two more explosions echoed, the terrifying force sweeping through, destroying large swaths of vines and Elemental Beasts.
They weren’t just self-destructing; all the power within them was being funneled back into the world.
They were sacrificing themselves to protect John’s world.
“John, you must survive. And… take care of Leisian,” Merciless spoke, his figure flying out, also intending to self-destruct.
“You dare!” John roared, his overwhelming pressure sweeping through, immediately dispersing the self-destructive powers of the others.
His world had already been devoured. Even if everyone self-destructed, it would only delay the destruction, not stop it.
Unless… he caused the world to self-destruct. His own self-destruction power, even if it couldn’t kill Eluen, would heavily injure her.
His mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.
“Everyone, leave now!” His expression was resolute, and he used his immense power to bind everyone, stopping them from self-destructing.
“John, what are you planning to do?” Gaka furrowed his brow, seemingly guessing his thoughts.
John didn’t say anything more. With a wave of his hand, he tore through the world, creating a spatial passage.
Then, he infused most of the power of the Sea of Laws into the others, boosting their strength.
The destruction of his world was now inevitable. Rather than let Eluen benefit, he would rather help Merciless and the others.
“Go!” He controlled White Jade City, enveloping everyone, and flew toward the spatial passage.
“John, no!” Merciless’ eyes turned red as he struggled, but he couldn’t break free.
“Dad, I want to be with you.” Leisian’s expression was firm, and she effortlessly broke free from John’s restraints, flying toward him quickly.
“Leisian!” John’s heart filled with fear, but his power had no effect on the little girl.
Leisian flew into his arms, gripping his clothes tightly, unwilling to let go.
Boom!
The spatial passage closed completely. John’s internal energy was rapidly depleting, and he could no longer open the passage again.
“Hmph, how touching. I almost feel bad about killing you.” Eluen’s mocking voice echoed.
John ignored her, looking down at Leisian in his arms. He felt a deep sense of guilt and self-blame. He softly asked, “Leisian, are you afraid?”
The little girl lifted her head, a smile spreading across her face, with no trace of fear. She said, “As long as Dad is here, I’m not afraid of anything.”
John felt a lump in his throat, his gaze falling on The Tree of Life, which was now nearly withered, its life force fading.
He had hoped to save The Tree of Life, but the tree had already rooted itself in this world, blending with it. There was no way to take it away.
“The Tree of Life, let Leisian live.” He tossed Leisian toward The Tree of Life. He had already decided to self-destruct, not wanting anything to happen to her.
“No, Dad, I want to be with you.” The little girl cried in fear, reaching out her arms, trying to grab him.
Whoosh!
But then, a vine from The Tree of Life shot out, wrapping around Leisian and pulling her into the Realm of Life it had created within itself.
John let out a breath of relief. He didn’t know if The Tree of Life could protect Leisian, but it was his last hope.
Boom, boom…
The sounds of explosions rang out as the world shattered, the starry sky flickered, and energy poured out madly.
John coldly watched everything unfold, his expression bleak, and a profound sense of helplessness surged in his heart.
He had always wanted to protect those around him, to protect the Galaxy Star Domain.
He had thought that by becoming a Creator God, he would be invincible. Yet here he was, trapped in such a hopeless situation.
Perhaps, Sini and the others had already found the Sea of Laws within the Galaxy Star Domain, gained strength, and were capable of protecting the domain now.
Now, all he could do was inflict heavy damage on the Elemental Divine Kingdom’s Creator God, Eluen, and try to reduce the pressure on his allies as much as possible.
John took a deep breath, his voice calm as he said, “Eluen, while you may have devoured my world, if I’m not mistaken, this should also be the core of your world, right?”
“Hmm? What are you trying to do?” Eluen’s tone shifted to one of panic upon hearing his words.
“Heh.” John sneered, slowly rising into the air. A terrifying aura spread from him, and the entire world began to tremble violently.
He spoke again, “I wonder… if I self-destruct, will you be able to stop it?”
“You dare!” Eluen roared, sensing that John wasn’t joking. Countless vines surged around them, covering the entire world as they frantically devoured the surrounding power, trying to weaken John.
John took one last look at The Tree of Life, his expression resolute. Unstoppable power surged through his body.
“Die!” he shouted, and without hesitation, he triggered the self-destruction of both his body and the entire world.
Buzz!
A deep, resonant hum filled the air as everything shattered around them. Annihilation—a force erupted from within John, an apocalyptic energy that seemed capable of destroying everything.
When a Creator God self-destructs, the power is enough to obliterate the world.
“No!” Eluen cried out in fear. In her panic, she tried to retract all the invading vines, but it was too late.
Boom!
The explosion was deafening, shaking the very foundations of the world. A terrifying energy swept through, devastating everything in its path.
The world collapsed, the Void itself began to cave in, and everything around was relentlessly destroyed.
Star Dust vanished, and the world John had created shattered instantly, revealing before them an immense, boundless black tree in the Void.
The Tree of Life, now dwarfed by the massive tree, looked like an ant in comparison.
This was Eluen’s true form, and a terrifying energy surged from it, devouring everything in its vicinity.
Crack, crack…
The vines of the giant tree snapped, its branches broke, and the black leaves withered and fell, emitting mournful cries as if countless lives were wailing in agony and falling into ruin.
Eluen was horrified and furious. She hadn’t expected John to be so decisive.
When a powerful being self-destructs, their Divine Soul is destroyed, and they are not allowed to reincarnate—that is true, permanent death.
Whoosh…
The giant tree was surrounded by countless vines, twisting and interweaving in an attempt to stop the self-destruction of John’s world, but it was all in vain.
John had already become a Creator God, and the destructive power he unleashed was too great. The vines shattered, and the horrifying energy swept through, devouring the immense black tree.
Boom!
Another explosion rocked the Void, and then silence fell.
The black giant tree was obliterated, leaving only a massive root system that stretched deep into the Void.
Whoosh!
Black mist spread from the roots, slowly condensing into the form of Eluen.
Her face was pale, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Bastard!” She glared at the remains of The Tree of Life, now reduced to a huge root system. Uncontrollable rage surged within her.
She had intended to devour John’s world to increase her strength.
But she never expected that this human would be so resolute and decisive, directly causing his world to self-destruct. Now, she had gained nothing, and her own world had been severely damaged, leaving her strength greatly diminished.
She thought of the Sea of Laws in the Galaxy Star Domain.
Only the Sea of Laws from the Galaxy Star Domain could restore her strength now.
But if Kamos and Aoto learned of her injuries, they would definitely take action against her.
Her world was damaged, and she was no match for them in her current state.
“I’ll hide for now and recover my strength!” She gritted her teeth, abandoning the Initial Star Domain’s Sea of Laws, and decided to focus on healing her wounds first.
“Hmm?” Just as she was about to leave, a flash of flame caught her attention.
“Seed of Fire!” She gasped in surprise, her expression lighting up with joy.
The Seed of Fire hadn’t been destroyed in John’s self-destruction after all. If she could obtain it, it would at least make up for the loss she had suffered.
She was about to make her move when the flames suddenly surged toward her, revealing Leisian’s figure.
“Hmph, little girl, even if I’m severely injured, I’m still not someone you can handle,” she coldly remarked, looking down at Leisian, who was wrapped in flames, with disdain.
She raised her hand to draw Leisian into her body.
Whoosh!
But immediately, her expression changed. The flames surged, and the terrifying heat radiated toward her, burning both her life force and power.
“This isn’t right, what is this?” she cried out in panic, her face full of horror. She struggled fiercely, trying to escape the flames, but it was all in vain.
The flames seemed to have a soul of their own, tightly wrapping around her, slowly devouring her.
“Ah…” Agonizing screams filled the air as she writhed in pain.
At that moment, Leisian’s figure emerged from the flames, coldly staring at Eluen.
Eluen’s face was filled with terror as she quickly pleaded, “Little girl, I’m a Creator God, you can’t kill me!”
Leisian ignored her, pulling out a small branch.
This was the last piece of the tree left after The Tree of Life had been destroyed.
Leisian approached the massive black tree root and inserted the branch into it.
“What… what are you trying to do?” Eluen glared at her, a sense of dread creeping into her heart.
She had already been severely injured by the self-destruction. Now, surrounded by the flames, her body and soul were suffering, and she could not escape or stop what was happening.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a massive surge of life force enveloped the area. The small branch sprouted new buds, growing fresh leaves that expanded rapidly.
It began to devour the black tree root and the life force of Eluen’s world.
