The Platform Between Heaven and Earth
Golden beams of light enveloped the sky.
The Yacaticto ritual has entered its most crucial stage, and the golden, intricate runes have finally filled the entire sky, tinging it with a pale golden hue.
Ancient roars also echoed from all directions of the lower realm!
Powerful guardians emerged from the shadows.
They emerged from the darkness from all directions, like a tide.
-------------------------------------
[The Undertaker]
[Level: 120]
[HP: 7,500,000,000 (7.5 billion)]
[Trait: Instant Death Immunity – Composed of pure world energy, it possesses immunity to instant death effects.]
[Trait: Boundary Guardian - As the guardian of the lower realm, the Earthly Undertaker will go to the sealed location at all costs and kill the one who will break the seal.]

[Description: Guardians of the lower realms, who will not allow anyone to open the passage connecting heaven and earth.]
-------------------------------------
The number of world guardians in the lower realms is not just one or two, but they have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, gradually forming a fanatical army that resembles a red tide.
This fanatical legion swarmed toward the platform of heaven and earth!
They will not easily allow Yacaticto to shatter the heavens and earth like this, even if those races from the upper realms descend.
These guardians do not care whether the superior races descend or not; all they need to do is protect the passage between heaven and earth.
Countless craters of earth split open, and pillars of light shot into the sky.
Even more powerful guardians roared! Howled
This is the second major challenge that humanity is about to face: the guardians of the passage!
Numerous in number and powerful in strength.
Among them are powerful beings at levels 130-150.
Unfortunately, their timing was too coincidental.
Their birth occurred precisely when the mountains, which had collapsed from the heavens and earth, rose and took shape.
The Heavenly Mountain collapsed like a tidal wave, crushing and killing the lower realm guardians who were charging towards the Heaven and Earth Platform.
Boom!
Rumble~
Most of these guardians of the lower realms were buried by the collapsing mountain less than ten minutes after they were born.
- trillion
- trillion
-9925 trillion
-9582 trillion
-9429 trillion
...
The power of a mountain collapsing from the ground is enough to cause trillions of damage.
The collapse of the mountain lasted for more than half an hour. Even desperate cries could not be heard. All that could be heard was the earth-shattering roar and the incessant tremors from the ground.
In the end, all that remained on the battlefield was devastation; none of the hostile creatures survived.
Meanwhile, the humans inside the mountain were completely bewildered.
The moment the mountains that seemed to have collapsed touched them, the heavy rocks turned into black and yellow magic and evaporated, causing no harm to any friendly forces.
But the massive mountain mass did indeed crush and subside the earth.
When the entire giant mountain fell completely silent.
Looking around from Lotvis, all one can see are towering, jumbled rocks, resembling a mass grave.
The army... there is no army left...
Lotvis, along with the surrounding cities of Barber, Bichi, Shuisun, Qiuwen, Lieyu, Shengde, Kuangmi, Fenglei, Cuifeng, Bijian, Canghe, Qinglin, and hundreds of thousands of other ethnic cities, were all destroyed along with the collapse of the mountain that caused the heavens and earth to crumble.
When the dust settles and everything returns to calm.
The world fell silent, and even the heart of Lottevis City, Baiyue, was stunned.
"That little girl is quite impressive."
When they first met, Xin Baiyue didn't take Bai Lu seriously.
While the title of Sage is powerful, it hasn't yet reached the point of qualitative change.
Little did they expect that in such a short time, Bai Lu would have become such a terrifying destruction mage.
The buzzing of the city of Thunder Swamp in the Western Wilderness floated in mid-air.
What kind of bullshit Soul-Sealing Corpse is this...
They were buried directly by the falling boulders. What does it matter how many corpses there are?
No matter how many corpses there are, they all become one of the corpses.
The balance of the war was shattered by the White Deer's single strike.
The mountains that collapsed, with the heavens and earth crumbling, became the tombstones and graveyards for all creatures and spirits.
Ha, so you want to destroy humanity to prevent the superior races from descending to the mortal realm? Sorry, that opportunity is gone. The witch of destruction will destroy everything without the superior races needing to descend.
The collapsed mountainside, crushed and lying on the earth, gradually turned into countless black dust particles and dissipated.
It's not that this mountain can no longer exist after it collapses.
Instead, Bai Lu took the initiative to cancel the physical form of the Mountain of Heaven and Earth Collapse.
The area was too large, so large that both enemy and friendly forces became targets of this destruction. Fortunately, the collapsing mountain could still select targets and would not accidentally injure friendly forces.
The only regret is that, under this attack, all cities, friend and foe alike, were reduced to ruins.
Many of the comrades who were crushed were trembling uncontrollably.
They stood up from the ground, their hearts filled with fear even though they were unharmed... The feeling of being crushed by endless mountains, surrounded only by black stone walls, filled them with deep despair.
All the cities and buildings were crushed into ruins.
The war has ended.
With the end of all things, the vast battlefield was brought to a complete standstill by this destruction.
-------------------------------------
For a moment, all races were stunned; neither humans nor other races knew what to do.
Only within the various ethnic communities could one hear a chorus of fear and astonishment at the mountain that seemed to have collapsed from the sky.
At the same time, an announcement popped up in front of all human players.
[World Announcement - Liberating the Origin]
[Original Liberation - Current Character's Integration with Reality: 100%]
Above the sky, Lu Cang saw the pop-up notification and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"They're here."
"Reality integration".
In the first era, facing such a crisis, the human race did not have many allies. At that time, almost all races believed that it was impossible for the human race to connect heaven and earth.
Even some races that aspire to the upper realms do not intend to take the same side as the human race.
At most, they simply remain neutral and do not speak out.
Therefore, in the first life of Lu Cang, a small number of humans survived the war.
The humans who ultimately survived were protected by Yacaticto through his utmost efforts.
To save humanity, Yacaticto, and to revive Xin Baiyue, they made a deal.
Under Xin Jueyue's attack, even those races that were enemies of the human race suffered heavy casualties.
Xin Jueyue helped Yakatikto preserve a portion of the human race, but she herself suffered irreparable injuries. Compared to the entire human population, the number of surviving natives can only be described as tragic.
If even the native inhabitants are like this, then in the first game, it would be impossible for weaker human players to survive in such a chaotic world.
In order to protect themselves amidst such chaos, human players had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the real world.
At the time, people's thinking was very simple: to avoid this conflict as much as possible.
The real world, on the other hand, is still a place of peace for people. Even if the flames of war burn fiercely in the fantasy world, they will not affect reality.
Yes, at the beginning of the war, human players in the real world thought the same thing.
"As long as we don't enter this terrifying world, we can have peace and survive safely."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with staying peacefully in the real world."
"Never go back to that terrible world!"
...
Countless voices echoed, and people returned to the real world. Suddenly, the once wildly popular fantasy game was no longer logged into.
Lu Cang was one of them.
However, the humans at the time had no idea that this was the beginning of the illusionary world invading reality.
When the Skybreaker Plan was fully unleashed.
This world has also revealed its true shape.
-------------------------------------
[The Real World - Earth]
The player awakens from slumber and steps out of the land-based game pod.
But they found that the surrounding environment had become very strange.
It should have been inside the house, but the walls were cracked.
Green vines have grown on the cracked walls, and quite a few of them. The plug and socket of the game pod have broken off.
There was no power supply, yet the game pod was still functioning.
The player, who had returned to reality from the fantasy world, looked out the window.
But he found that the view outside the window was completely different from what he usually saw, so he went to the window to look.
But they discovered that their apartment building, which should have been in the bustling city center, had completely changed outside, leaving only a desolate forest, with no streets or city center in sight.
"Damn...where the hell am I?"
Blue Star has changed.
"I've traveled through time?"
I thought the Illusionary Realm was outrageous enough, but I never expected that after leaving the Illusionary Realm, I would actually travel through time?
One by one, human players who were not yet engaged in combat saw the announcement, logged out of the game, and returned to their real-world homes to see what had happened.
However, upon their return, they were all stunned.
The entire planet Earth has completely changed.
Returning to reality, all that remains are the ruins of civilization.
Traffic lights, signs, asphalt roads, dilapidated houses, wrecked cars... and beyond that, only wilderness and mountains.
Looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky, I saw that the white moon actually had a huge pupil.
Its pupils contracted towards the blue star.
One could even see greed in its eyes.
Seeing the ruins of urban civilization and the familiar characters, some people finally came to their senses.
Wait... this is Earth?
