Eluen’s face was filled with terror as she experienced the same sensation of her world’s power flowing away, just as John’s world had.
“Little girl, you can’t do this!” She struggled desperately, but the flames had her tightly bound, and she couldn’t stop it.
She couldn’t understand why this weak little girl had such bizarre abilities, ones that seemed to counter the powers of any Creator God.
Whoosh…
A gentle breeze blew, and The Tree of Life grew rapidly, soon covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Leisian paid no attention to Eluen’s desperate pleas or her curses, instead sitting cross-legged beneath The Tree of Life, closing her eyes in deep concentration, carefully sensing The Power of Laws.
Buzz…
The space trembled as a pure and vast force of The Power of Laws surged from within Eluen’s body, merging into Leisian’s.
It was the Power of Reincarnation!
“What… what are you trying to do?” Eluen cried out in fear, using all her strength to resist, but it was useless.
Leisian ignored her, continuing to sense the Power of Reincarnation, carefully searching for something.
“I found it!” Her eyes lit up with joy as she watched a faint Remnant Soul slowly begin to form.
This Remnant Soul was extremely weak, on the verge of dissipating at any moment.
It was the Remnant Soul left behind by John after his self-destruction.
Whoosh…
Then, several more Remnant Souls appeared—those of Chaos, Heavenly King, and Forest King.
They, too, had self-destructed in an attempt to stop Eluen’s invasion. Their souls were exceptionally weak, and even though Leisian had gathered them, they wouldn’t last long without proper nourishment.
They needed a powerful supply of Spiritual Power.
Eluen realized what Leisian was trying to do and shouted in fury, “You want to Resurrect them!”
This little girl’s power was too strange, far beyond anything she could imagine.
Leisian glanced at her, her gaze cold. Another burst of flames surged into Eluen’s body.
“Ah!” Eluen screamed in pain, her face contorted in agony. She clearly felt the life force of the world she had created draining away—everything was wilting, planets were being destroyed.
Leisian continued to gather the Spiritual Power from these life forces to Resurrect John and the others.
“Bastard, don’t you fear divine punishment?” Eluen felt her life force and power rapidly diminishing, struggling in pain, but it was all in vain.
Leisian remained calm, speaking softly, “I don’t care.”
From within Eluen, souls continued to pour out, being refined and merged into the Remnant Souls of John and the others.
To Resurrect John and the others, Leisian cared not for how many lives she had to destroy.
“Crazy!” Eluen cursed, yet a deep chill rose in her heart.
As a Creator God, she had slaughtered countless lives, but she could never do what Leisian was doing—destroying an entire star domain so easily. She couldn’t even dare to attempt it.
The Creator God, even one of such strength, had to endure The Heaven’s Reincarnation. After slaughtering so many lives, The Heaven would not allow her to escape her fate.
“Little girl, I’ll help you Resurrect a few of them, if you let me go,” Eluen said, her life force rapidly draining. She was truly afraid now.
If this continued, the destruction of the world she created would be the least of her problems—she would completely perish.
She wasn’t ready to die. The Elemental Divine Kingdom had been shattered, but she still had the ability to rebuild.
However, if she died, she would be gone forever.
Leisian sneered, her voice cold. “You dared to lay a hand on my father’s world. This is the price you must pay. Even death is too merciful for you!”
A murderous aura surrounded Leisian, making Eluen tremble in fear.
“You’re truly evil. Even if John is Resurrected, you’ll never have a good ending!” Eluen cursed, realizing there was no hope for mercy.
Her internal energy and life force were rapidly depleting, and she could do nothing to stop it.
Whoosh, whoosh…
The Tree of Life continued to absorb the immense power from the black tree root and Eluen’s world, growing at an astonishing rate.
In just a few short hours, it had already covered the sky, returning to its peak state.
And it kept growing.
Eluen looked on in fury, her eyes burning with hatred. She wanted to self-destruct, but she lacked the courage to do so.
Leisian could never Resurrect her. If Eluen self-destructed, she would vanish forever, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
All she could do was watch as the world she had created was destroyed, her power draining away, powerless to stop it.
At that moment, she had collapsed to the ground, her Elemental Divine Kingdom shattered beyond recognition, all life wiped out, turning the once vibrant star domain into a sea of death.
Meanwhile, The Tree of Life continued to absorb her world’s power and life force, growing even larger.
Buzz!
Balls of light shot out, surrounding the Remnant Souls of John and the others, decorating the lush branches and forming several glowing red fruits.
“Finally, it’s done!” Leisian sighed in relief as she saw the fruits. Her flame power had grown weak, and she had suffered a great backlash.
However, the Seed of Fire was special, and this small amount of backlash was not enough to threaten her.
“Hmph, you’re no longer of any use,” she said, casting a final glance at Eluen. Terrifying flames flickered around her, completely devouring Eluen.
“No…” Eluen roared in defiance, but her breath soon faltered, and she was erased by Merciless.
After completing everything, Leisian sat quietly beneath The Tree of Life, guarding it as she waited for John to reform his body and Resurrect.
…
In the Void, a spatial rift appeared, and Merciless and the others descended.
They all stood frozen in place, their faces filled with grief.
“John, Leisian!” Merciless swung her longsword in anguish, tears streaming from her eyes as she tried to tear open the rift again. But her strength was too weak, and she couldn’t manage to do it.
Despair filled her heart. Two of the most important people in her life had perished, and she no longer knew what reason there was to keep living.
Her aura grew colder by the second, and The Path of Mercilessness, which had long been dormant inside her, began to stir once more.
The group was startled. Merciless had previously abandoned The Path of Mercilessness in favor of cultivating The Path of Pure Emotion. Such a shift could easily lead to obsession, or even cause her to explode from the overwhelming emotional energy.
“Merciless, calm down!” Thoublade shouted, disregarding everything else as he rushed into the Sword Domain to stop her.
Two streams of blood and tears ran down her face. She looked at Thoublade with a sorrowful expression, her voice hollow. “Master, John and Leisian are both dead. There’s no meaning in me living anymore.”
Nine Phoenix clenched her fists, speaking with determination. “John didn’t die in vain. We will seek revenge. Senior, do you know where the Elemental Divine Kingdom is?”
The others’ eyes lit up, their fighting spirit reigniting.
Merciless also abandoned her suicidal thoughts and calmed down.
Eluen had taken everything from her. Even if she were to die, she couldn’t let Eluen go unpunished.
Thoublade shook his head, helplessly saying, “We’re not beings of the Elemental Divine Kingdom. Even if we find her star domain, we won’t be able to enter.”
“There must be a way,” Highshield spoke coldly, a sense of resolve taking root within him. His life had been given to him by John, and even if it meant self-destructing again, he would make Eluen pay dearly.
The group fell silent, but their eyes were unwavering with determination. They would find the Elemental Divine Kingdom and destroy everything there to avenge John.
Boom…
Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed, and the Void trembled.
A massive spatial rift appeared in the Void.
“This isn’t good. It’s a spatial passage to the Galaxy Star Domain!” Cand-Dragon exclaimed, his face filled with dread.
Kamos and Aoto had opened a spatial passage to the Galaxy Star Domain.
With two Creator Gods descending, the Galaxy Star Domain would be utterly devastated.
“Stop this!” Gaka shouted. “John paid such a heavy price to protect the Galaxy Star Domain. If something happens to it, we could never face him again, even if we die.”
The others nodded in agreement, quickly rushing toward the spatial rift.
Even if it meant certain death, they didn’t hesitate for a moment.
At the massive spatial rift, countless giant beasts roared as they poured through.
All of them were Abyssal beasts and Elemental beasts above the five-star Emperor level.
Without hesitation, Merciless and the others made their move, slaughtering them without mercy.
In his final moments, John had infused the Power of Laws from The Heaven into them. Their strength was now on par with peak Nine-Star Emperors, so stopping these beasts wasn’t a problem.
But the number of beasts was overwhelming, endless, and constantly flooding through. The few of them couldn’t possibly hold them all back.
Furthermore, Kamos and Aoto were no longer visible, clearly having entered the Galaxy Star Domain.
With the strength of the Galaxy Star Domain’s warriors, there was no way they could stop this.
“There are too many of these beasts. We need to enter the Galaxy Star Domain!” Thoublade said, slaying several beasts blocking their way and swiftly flying toward the spatial passage.
The others followed closely behind, rushing through the spatial passage to the Galaxy Star Domain.
Boom, boom…
The sound of explosions echoed as endless beasts poured in, wreaking havoc and destroying everything in their path. One planet after another was obliterated.
The Galaxy Star Domain was weak, unable to stop this destruction.
Sini, Ritchie, and the leaders of various races, along with their strongest warriors, fought desperately to block the invading giant beasts.
One by one, powerful warriors fell, but no one retreated.
Even in death, they were determined to protect the Galaxy Star Domain.
“Dammit!” Cand-Dragon roared in fury as he saw his fallen kin. He transformed into a towering dragon, soaring through the sky and ruthlessly slaughtering the beasts.
Thoublade and the others immediately joined the battle, helping the forces of the Galaxy Star Domain to fight off the beasts.
The pressure on Sini and the others was significantly reduced, but there were still countless casualties around them as the beasts continued to slaughter their comrades.
Sini recognized Merciless and Gaka among the fighters but noticed John was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where is John?”
The group fell silent, continuing their relentless slaughter of the beasts, but offering no response.
Sini’s heart sank, and she asked again, her voice trembling, “Where is John?”
She couldn’t help but recall Ben’s prophecy.
The others averted their eyes, unease evident in their expressions.
She stepped forward and grabbed Gaka, her voice cold as she demanded, “Tell me, where is John?”
Gaka avoided her gaze, taking a deep breath before finally speaking. “He’s dead.”
At his words, Sini let go of him and took a step back, her body swaying as if on the verge of collapse.
“It’s impossible. The old man is invincible. He can’t die! You lying old bastard, don’t think you can fool me!” Tracy shouted as she rushed forward, her Star Dust power swirling around her. She glared furiously at Gaka.
The others stood frozen, unable to accept what they had just heard.
“Be careful!” Nine Phoenix shouted, quickly stepping forward to block several giant beasts. She spoke urgently, “We can’t accept this either, but right now, the most important thing is to deal with the immediate threat. John sacrificed everything to protect the Galaxy Star Domain. We can’t let it fall.”
The others snapped back to their senses, their faces cold and filled with a burning rage.
