Chapter 204 Nanmen Jue! How dare you?
Nanmen Yu's body was specially made for Nanmen Jue, obtained by digging out his own flesh and blood and repairing it countless times. Once it is destroyed, there will be no second chance, neither in terms of time nor opportunity.
Amidst the violent tremors, Nanmen Jue abruptly looked up. "Xiao Nuo, begin the transformation ritual now!"
She was so decisive; the crow was the one who hesitated.
"Now? Or should I go out and deal with Him for a bit first..."
“No, you must stay here.” Nanmen Jue’s tone was unwavering.
"What kind of ceremony is this? Can anyone explain it to me?!" Yu Wanyan shouted in terror.
The crow gave Nanmen Jue a deep look, and their eyes met. Nanmen Jue saw the meaning of farewell in its eyes.
The crow never believed that Nanmen Jue could maintain his current consciousness after the ritual, so it kept trying to delay the time, to let Nanmen Jue experience more of this mortal world.
The energy hasn't been fully gathered yet, but the arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released.
At this moment, in the main hall.
The Main God Hall has always been the most stable place in the entire Reincarnation Space. Before Nanmen Jue appeared, everyone even tacitly avoided fighting in the space because they all knew that no one would die, and that people from large guilds might come out to maintain order. It can be said to be a safe zone recognized by everyone.
Now, the safe zone is shaking, and the tremors are intensifying, giving the impression that it has been breached.
Those who were fortunate enough to have entered the same world as Nanmen Jue were no strangers to this kind of tremor: it was clearly the feeling of a world being destroyed!
Everyone in the Hall of Reincarnation rushed out, gathering in a chaotic mess, anxiously asking around.
Everyone was horrified to discover that the space was sealed off! They couldn't leave and return to reality!
Someone strode out from the stairs. Upon seeing the situation, the two exchanged a glance and then dispersed in opposite directions.
"Don't panic! Everyone, move towards the central hall!"
"Don't panic, everyone! Let's all inform each other, gather together, and look out for each other if anything happens!"
Both of them used props to try to make their voices carry as far as possible in the vast hall.
Someone recognized them in the chaos.
"That's the new president of Entropy Ember! I've seen him before!"
"That's Zhou Yiming, the president of Ouroboros over there!"
Wei Chongru is newly appointed and many people don't know him, but Zhou Yiming is an old-timer in the space and many people know him.
Upon seeing the leaders of the four major guilds step forward to take charge, the panicked crowd gradually found their anchor and began to move towards the central area.
Wei Chongru and Zhou Yiming returned to the center. Wei Chongru was more approachable, and he and Jin Jian tried their best to appease everyone, while Zhou Yiming opened the system and frantically called Nanmen Jue.
The others didn't know what was going on, but they probably knew that if there was anyone in this cycle of reincarnation who was worth bringing out such a large force to deal with, it was only Nanmen Jue.
Unfortunately, only the three of them remained in the hall today; the others had either returned to reality or entered the cycle of reincarnation.
As a result, those who entered the cycle of reincarnation could not make contact, and those who returned to reality could not enter.
The two glanced at each other every now and then, and saw anxiety and seriousness in each other's eyes.
At this point, it was beyond their ability to intervene. Apart from gathering everyone together to prevent further conflict and casualties in the chaos, there was nothing else they could do.
The tremors continued, and the weaker reincarnators could no longer stand and grabbed whatever was nearby.
Suddenly, someone let out a scream.
Everyone turned to look, and saw that a huge crack slowly opened up in the space of the hall, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible claw. It was pitch black inside, except for a pair of huge golden vertical pupils that shone brightly, like a giant lantern, occupying the entire crack.
The next second, everyone in the circle closest to the crack was sucked into it, instantly disappearing without a trace.
"Get out of the way!"
The crowd retreated with a whoosh, while some went against the flow, standing between the crack and the crowd.
Wei Chongru arrived in time and pushed aside those who couldn't retreat in time, preventing further casualties.
Zhou Yiming went around to the back of the crack, and no one knows what he did, but the crack's expansion rate actually slowed down.
When Wei Chongru looked up, he met that vast golden vertical pupil. Instantly, a certain understanding dawned on him, and his whole body froze.
The oppressive feeling he had experienced in the bizarre world, the sense of suppression from beings of a dimension higher than his own, was now even more pronounced after his strength had increased.
Without a second to think, all his survival instincts coalesced in his throat, culminating in a heart-wrenching scream.
"Back off—"
Too slow!
Wei Chongru knew that no one present, including himself, could possibly be a match for the thing inside. While telling the others to step back, he turned around without a second thought, disregarding any semblance of a master, and dodged backward as quickly as possible.
"puff."
Zhou Yiming, who was behind the crack, was the first to suffer. He used something to slow the crack's spread, but it only lasted for a brief moment.
His chest felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, all crumpled and bunched together, his sternum grotesquely sunken in.
His handsome face instantly turned deathly pale, his pupils filled with confusion, and he unconsciously opened his mouth, blood mingling with his crushed internal organs as it flowed out.
Wei Chongru, who was backing away, stopped in his tracks.
His facial muscles twitched violently, and his eyes struggled.
However, this struggle lasted only a moment. He turned around almost immediately, his legs moving like wheels of fire, and quickly ran towards Zhou Yiming!
He threw all the healing items he could grab onto Zhou Yiming in one go, then hoisted him onto his shoulder.
"The main god's pillar of light is being repaired... Wait a minute!"
His brain instinctively searched for the best way to save his life, but then he realized that this thing was no longer a healing medicine, but a death warrant!
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, something finally broke free from the constraints of space and stepped out from the crack.
Everyone who saw this thing forgot to run away; they could only stare blankly at this monster that contained ancient and profound power, lost in a daze as if their souls had been cleansed.
Previously, when looking through the crack, the entire crack was black, not because the environment on the other side of the crack was dark, but because this thing was too huge, so big that it almost blocked the entire entrance to the space.
It was a giant snake.
The scales are jet black, each the size of a human head. Amidst their eerie and magnificent luster, golden vertical pupils open, their light so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at them.
The space hall is not an inanimate object; it automatically adjusts its size according to the size of its contents. Therefore, there was no situation where the ceiling was broken through. The ceiling that could be seen in the past has become incredibly distant. Compared with this behemoth, everyone is a tiny insect.
Wei Chongru and Zhou Yiming were the closest people to the giant object, right at its feet. Wei Chongru was trembling all over, and was so overwhelmed that he could not breathe.
Thick blood flowed down his neck and into his clothes, and Zhou Yiming, who should have been unconscious, stubbornly maintained his consciousness.
"Quick...go," came the barely audible voice.
The sound struck Wei Chongru like thunder, jolting him out of his delirium. He grabbed Zhou Yiming and ran.
Fortunately, the main god, in his true form, didn't pay attention to the few small insects at his feet.
"Noctunas, I know you're hiding here, Noctunas, where are you—"
"You thought I couldn't find you just because you're hiding here? Here I come—"
His voice was filled with boundless excitement. He had a premonition that the struggle between them, which had lasted for countless years, would soon come to an end, right here, right today!
"Noctunas! Noctunas!"
He shouted the raven's name and rampaged through the hall.
This collision caused widespread suffering and devastation.
Wei Chongru watched with bloodshot eyes, but could only try his best to hide. He couldn't stop Him. He wasn't Nanmen Jue. How could a person possibly fight against a god?
The hall was quickly reduced to ruins.
Jin Jian, with his small and agile body, managed to save several people by weaving through the gaps, but he was soon swept away by the snake's tail.
A mere sweep of God could bring annihilation to humanity.
Jin Jian was sent flying backward. He could feel his ribs, humerus, and leg bones all breaking, and a bitter smile spread through his mind.
What terrifying power! Was Miss Nanmen fighting face-to-face with such a creature back then?
They, the reincarnators, fought to the death for the power of the Golden Name, but in the end they couldn't even exchange a single blow. God didn't even realize that He had struck... no, it wasn't a strike; to Him, it was merely a light touch.
He's going to die.
Jin Jian thought vaguely.
He was considered an old-timer in the Reincarnation Space. He had struggled for a long time and had always been a pitiful blue-named individual. If he hadn't met Nanmen Jue, he might have died at Cheng Xiuye's hands long ago, perhaps as a pawn or as a discarded pawn. In any case, he would not have had a good ending.
Although this kind of death isn't exactly a good ending... it was his own choice.
It's hard to imagine that if someone had told him before that he would die to save someone, he would probably have spat in their face.
He has really changed a lot since he met Nanmen Jue.
His body was falling, and so was his consciousness. Jin Jian's eyes were gradually closing, but the face of a person in his mind became clearer and clearer. He unconsciously reached out his arm, grabbing at that shadow he could never touch...
Nanmen Jue had saved too many people, and he only regarded her as one of the saviors.
"If only she were a god," he thought with a touch of regret in his dying consciousness.
If Nanmen Jue is a god, then she is his faith. When a person with faith dies, their god will come to receive them...
Um?
Jin Jian's body stopped falling.
He landed in a clump of soft black fur.
As vast as a grassland, as warm as the sun, and... right beside him, golden eyes that looked like a totem.
A giant black wolf descended from the sky, its limbs strong and long. It circled in the air, catching several humans who were knocked away, before landing in front of the giant snake, its back arched, revealing its cold, sharp fangs.
"...That's impossible."
The giant serpent stopped moving and stared blankly at the black wolf before it, before letting out a deafening roar a few seconds later.
"This is impossible—Nanmen Jue, how dare you!"
