Chapter 981 - 341: The End of Blue Star

The appearance of the River of Eternal Darkness was too sudden, beyond anyone’s expectation.

After all, it was firmly suppressed by the billions of starry arrays within Han Zhan, sealed there, trapped in the cycle of space.

Moreover, the current Han Zhan is at the peak of the Creator Gods, his strength greater than ever before.

By common logic, the River of Eternal Darkness shouldn’t have any chance to break free.

Now, it’s too late to unravel the cause.

Right after using the Demon Refining Pot to save the Blue Star’s people, Han Zhan once again deployed the Heaven and Earth Talent of the Demon Refining Pot.

A super-giant circular space array appeared beneath the River of Eternal Darkness.

He intended to replicate the operation of Dawn Number One, using the space cycle to reseal it.

The space array powered by Creation Divine Power became incomparably huge, almost filling the entire bottom of the Star Sea, emanating a pale white light.

However, when the River of Eternal Darkness surged and roared through Blue Star, it passed through the array without any obstruction, completely unaffected.

Seeing this, Han Zhan felt a thud in his heart, a feeling that his last resort had failed.

At this moment, the Human Race Saints also took action, imprinting various enhancement Dharma Seals on the collapsing Blue Star, attempting to stabilize it.

Yet even the Creator Gods cannot stop it, only slightly slowing its destruction.

Only slightly.

This planet, emitting a blue glow in the Star Sea, continues to collapse visibly.

Blue Star, doom has arrived!

In this moment,

At the end of the Bronze Long Table in the Star Sea, that silhouette finally solidified completely.

Behind its seat, one by one, crimson gems lit up, forming a vivid, mysterious painting.

Thick, annihilating black mist emanated from this painting, enveloping it entirely.

This scene, seen by Han Zhan and the Human Race Saints, involuntarily stirred a ripple of trepidation in their hearts.

That is the omen before the cosmic cataclysm.

"Everything you have done is in vain."

"Cause and destiny cannot be defeated."

It spoke faintly, facing Han Zhan and other Human Race Creator Gods across the Bronze Long Table.

"The last doom has arrived."

"The era of cosmic apocalypse officially begins."

As soon as its words fell, the last remnant of the Blue Star, which had been barely sustaining and persisting until now, completely vanished.

The entire Star Sea, as if a light had been switched off, plunged into sudden darkness.

"It just mentioned cause and effect."

"Previously, even Dawn Number One said that the ability of the River of Eternal Darkness is related to cause and effect."

So, could it be that the River of Eternal Darkness broke free by utilizing the power of cause and effect?

And this cause and effect is—

"Antique Artifact, [Battle of the Gods]!"

At this moment, a revelation struck Han Zhan like lightning, illuminating neglected blind spots.

Indeed.

The Antique Artifact [Battle of the Gods], as Dawn Number One’s final trump card to counter the advent of Radiant Black, borrowed the power of the River of Eternal Darkness.

Because only the River of Eternal Darkness can create rules capable of constraining Creator Gods.

Utilizing the power of the River of Eternal Darkness inevitably created a causal link with it.

This is why the River of Eternal Darkness escaped from the space cycle’s seal and re-emerged in the world.

This is the root of the problem!

But if the power of the River of Eternal Darkness wasn’t used, the Human Race, even if all saints arrived, couldn’t possibly be a match for the oncoming Radiant Black Creator God.

This is a deadlock.

No matter the choice, all paths lead to the same conclusion.

That conclusion is,

The end of Blue Star!

...

In the Star Sea, dead silence.

Only a few Saints radiating holy brilliance remain, along with the presence sitting at the end of the Bronze Long Table, shrouded in annihilating black mist.

"We still have a chance."

At this moment, Fu Xi Saint suddenly spoke.

"What chance?"

"Look at the River of Eternal Darkness, what did it do after breaking free?"

"It destroyed all visible celestial bodies, annihilating the Star Sea."

Han Zhan gave an accurate description.

Fu Xi slightly nodded, speaking faster, "Indeed, because the era of cosmic apocalypse is a process!"

"It did indeed mention the beginning." Han Zhan looked towards the mysterious being at the end of the Bronze Long Table, agreeing with Fu Xi’s judgment.

If it can begin, does it mean it can be closed?

With this thought, a flash of inspiration struck Han Zhan:

"It’s a ritual."

"The existence of Radiant Black is to conduct a ritual, bringing about the end. It didn’t appear until all dooms arrived, and the era of cosmic apocalypse began from that moment."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xi understood Han Zhan’s point, "You mean to say, the one sitting at the Bronze Long Table is the key to the beginning of the era of cosmic apocalypse."

The River of Eternal Darkness is merely the "enforcer."

Its role is to annihilate all celestial bodies in the universe, bringing silence to the entire cosmos.

This is a process, requiring time.

The being seated at the end of the Bronze Long Table is the mysterious existence summoned by Radiant Black through the doomsday ritual, the "source" leading the annihilation.

So, it suffices to slay the "source" before the River of Eternal Darkness silences all galaxies, altering everything and preventing the destruction from occurring?

"Then let’s do it!"

The first to act was the Yellow Emperor.

As soon as the words fell, a sword light astonishing the cosmos rose, slashing towards the Bronze Long Table.

That sword light, condensed to the extreme, contained all the formidable Sword Intent, the Yellow Emperor’s peak strike.

With the release of this sword, even the darkness within the universe was pushed back a bit, letting the sword light unfold.

The Yellow Emperor’s sword is the strongest offensive measure.

When the sword light fell towards the Bronze Long Table, dense black mist spread from the mysterious being’s body.

This dense black mist turned into an exaggerated giant hand, which grabbed the sword light furiously, forcibly halting it mid-air.

Immediately, the giant hand tightened again,

A crunch echoed in the hearts of every Human Race Creator God.

The Yellow Emperor’s unfailing sharp sword light was crushed by the giant black mist hand!

At the moment of sword light fragmentation, countless Sword Qi surged in all directions, creating a destructive storm in the endless star sky.

Yet even so, the Bronze Long Table at the center of the storm remained immovable.

The Yellow Emperor’s full-force strike was thus easily neutralized.

Witnessing this, the other Human Race Saints who intended to take action had a twitch in their eyelids.

"It seems you’ve forgotten the amplification effect they each received during the Battle of the Gods."

"They are all dead now."

The amplification effect means that whenever a Radiant Black Creator God perishes, the others gain augmented power realms.

Now that several Radiant Black Creator Gods have died,

And undeniably, the being at the head of the Bronze Long Table is indeed a Radiant Black Creator God.

The flowing light and shadow of the Queen Mother of the West haven’t covered it; to what extent has its power been amplified now?!

"I admire your courage."
