At Jiang Yuan's call, some complied while others resisted, but whether they agreed or not, eternity still devoured their spirits.

Humans are all in one boat. He can be the helmsman and lead the ship in the right direction, but those on the ship cannot shirk their responsibilities, otherwise he would rather the ship sink.

The devouring power instantly enveloped the human spirits everywhere. Their first reaction was to resist this power, but they failed.

"It's that Chinese man!"

When the spirits within closed their eyes, they seemed to see the great battle in Sakura Castle, that figure fighting against heaven and earth, that belief in breaking the tyranny, which unconsciously influenced them.

They now have two choices: first, to forcibly exit the Apocalypse World by giving up one-tenth of their spiritual energy; second, to be absorbed by the devouring power.

Many hesitated. At this moment, the genetic instinct of the species was transmitting an unknown pheromone. This was a battle that could change the course of the battlefield, and that fearless figure needed their help.

"Whoever wants to die can go ahead, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

"Yes, it took me several years to accumulate my current spiritual body. If it gets drained, how am I supposed to survive in the future!"

"Let's go, we'll force our way out!"

People kept giving up one-tenth of their spiritual energy to forcibly leave the Apocalypse World, but even more people stayed behind.

They didn't know why they stayed; perhaps they wanted to witness history, or perhaps it was a resonance of their racial genes.

But regardless of which one it was, since they chose to stay, they all made the same choice: to offer up their spiritual energy.

This battle has completely changed. At the beginning, everyone was shouting to kill Jiang Yuan, but now Jiang Yuan's opponent has become someone they can't even reach. The gap between them has been widened completely.

In the past, they might have been able to get involved in the God of Slaughter missions, but this time, Jiang Yuan had already surpassed everyone else. No one dared to try to climb over Jiang Yuan's shoulders to get ahead, because they were not worthy.

"Triple Kill!"

The Devouring Starry Sky was still running, but the Eye of the Battlefield couldn't wait any longer. It unleashed a triple heavenly punishment, along with time and space, like the power of all the heavens, aiming to completely annihilate Jiang Yuan in his infancy.

Humans defying nature is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

"Jiang Yuan, China stands with you!"

The triple celestial punishment was about to descend, but a massive surge of elemental energy emanated from the great eastern nation to the west.

"It's you!" Jiang Yuan saw a figure he hadn't seen in a long time. It was the previous Godfall Battlefield Soul, and also the highest leader of the Heavenly Palace.

He, who had always been confined to a unique space, descended through the Apocalypse World, bringing with him the spiritual energy of the nine provinces of China to offer his support.

"You brat, I'm only helping you this time because you sincerely repented at Tan'er's grave. Our feud is still going on!"

The speaker was Taihao Yao, the patriarch of the Fuxi clan of Huaxia.

"Boss, let's get that damn heavens!"

Those who had sworn an oath shouted that they had known all along that Jiang Yuan was causing trouble in Japan, but it had only been minor skirmishes before, so the Chinese army hadn't shown up. But now!

Everyone wanted to see Jiang Yuan create another miracle!

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Jiang Yuan burst into laughter. He looked up fiercely at the eyes that overlooked the battlefield, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart. He said, "Since that's the case, then I will welcome the first ray of dawn in the darkness for the human race!"

As spiritual energy continuously entered his body, Jiang Yuan transformed into the only light in the world.

He knew that this journey was fraught with peril, and that even if he broke free of his shackles, he could only create a tiny glimmer of light for humanity. But so what? As long as there is hope, anything is possible!

"My life is the spirit of battle!"

The light surged toward the final three heavenly punishments, followed by countless spiritual energies.

In that instant, man and gun became one; it was a beacon of eternal light, which may suffer setbacks but will never disappear. It will become a beacon of human civilization, illuminating humanity's path forward in the clouds and throughout the universe.

With a hum, a silent explosion was generated in Sakura City, and all the spirits within a thousand miles vanished into thin air. At least ninety percent of the spirits in the entire Eastern Japan were destroyed in this war.

Apart from Japan, the spirits of all the surrounding countries have suffered severe damage to varying degrees. This is a gamble for humanity, and the one holding the game is the last light in the sky.

The explosion paused in the air like a brilliant firework, the Eye of Battle was shattered, and outside the Eye of Battle was the endless universe and all the attributes that were not blocked.

Starry sky, devouring, nothingness, time, space, life, destruction, chaos, and so on—almost every imaginable attribute appeared after the Eye of Battle shattered.

Is this the real world?

For a fleeting moment, countless people seemed to understand Jiang Yuan's persistence. He wasn't arrogant enough to defy the heavens; he was simply unwilling to live in a man-made, false world.

But at that very moment, a figure in black robes appeared in the shattered world order. Beneath the black robes lay an endless starry sky, giving the impression that all who looked upon it would be forever lost in its descent into oblivion.

"You have broken the rules of the game, so!"

The man in black robes raised his hand, as if he held the entire Apocalypse World in his grasp. He looked at Jiang Yuan calmly and said, "You're out!"

With a clench of his fist, countless spaces were compressed together; Jiang Yuan had no doubt that such power could mold a small asteroid into a star core.

"So, this is what gods are?"
