"This is...!"
The first water curtain displays a pitch-black starry sky.
All the stars have been reduced to fragments, with only the occasional stray eerie flames bringing a sliver of light.
But Jiang Yan recognized it at a glance as the starry sky where the decisive battle took place.
The Lord of the Abyss smiled faintly and made a gesture.
In the scene, a shooting star, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, streaks across the sky, illuminating the entire dim starry expanse.
Blood-stained feathers drifted aimlessly, scattering across the void.
Beneath the tattered armor, withered corpses still clutched their broken warhammers tightly.
The bones, shimmering with a faint aura of death, piled up into a vast ocean, flowing silently with the occasional turbulent currents of the void.
Countless mangled corpses floated and sank within it.
A fallen angel, a bone dragon severed at the waist, a headless paladin...
There were even shattered coffins, broken demon horns, and fragments of the Wheel of Fate stripped of all its supernatural power...
This is... the Holy Spirit City Alliance!
Judging from the remains, this happened a long time ago.
"How...how could this be..."
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he angrily turned around and questioned, "Didn't you say that as long as we repelled you, we would retreat back to the abyss and never attack them again?!"
"Calm down."
The Lord of the Abyss reached out and slightly glanced at Jiang Yan, who was trying to rush forward, and said calmly, "It wasn't the Abyss that did it."
"If it's not the Abyss, who else can defeat my angels and undead legions? Are they just killing each other?!"
Unable to move, Jiang Yan forcibly suppressed his anger and stared intently at the scene on the water screen, finally noticing something amiss.
He saw two warriors from the Divine Legion pierced through the claws of a bone dragon, and a paladin whose body was bitten in half by the angel's "Holy Flame Judgment".
In addition, there were many creatures I had never seen before, covered with countless eyeballs.
"Why is the Divine Legion fighting against the Angel Undead Legion? And where did these eyeballs come from? Why have I never seen them before?!"
"Where is the will of all realms? Why didn't it step in to stop it?!"
Jiang Yan was filled with grief and confusion, and wished he could return to his original world immediately.
"What exactly happened? Tell me, tell me!"
He looked up at the "Lord of the Abyss." With the other party's strength, recreating the scene of the past would be a piece of cake if he wanted to.
"Fine."
The Lord of the Abyss looked at Jiang Yan's face, which was contorted with anger, pondered for a moment, stretched out his right hand, released the restraints, and gently flicked the air.
Everything in the water curtain flowed backward rapidly.
Until Jiang Yan, through deepening his reincarnation, fell into the abyss along with the "Lord of the Abyss".
A six-winged angel followed and rushed into the soon-to-be-closed entrance to the abyss.
"Anna!"
Even though he knew it was a long time ago, Jiang Yan's heart still clenched, and he couldn't help but call out subconsciously.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her withstand the abyss's corruption under the influence of that star stone and transform into an abyss angel.
It's good that the person is alright; it doesn't matter what happened to them.
Jiang Yan looked at the "Lord of the Abyss" with a questioning gaze.
"Don't worry, I've already given the order, Big Grey will go to meet her."
Thanks.
Jiang Yan nodded with a complicated expression, and after confirming that Anna was alright, he focused his attention back on the water screen.
He needs to know what happened next.
Soon, he saw the confrontation between the various realms and the angels and the dead.
"The biggest destabilizing factor has been eliminated..."
"Sacrificing Jiang Yan alone will bring lasting peace..."
But before he could fully process it all, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.
"Loves! What is she doing there!"
Jiang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Don't waste time. These Holy Light Undead Gods and all the followers of Jiang Yan from various realms must be eliminated..."
"Although the probability is extremely low... he might be able to use this to escape..."
"I have a better plan..."
“...”
The plots of both sides, the activation of the annals of history, the hidden attack of death, the summoning of monsters from the sealed world, the betrayal of the lords of various pantheons, and... the suicidal, desperate battle between angels and the undead legions.
Fortunately, Ibilis transformed into the Abyss Beast and swallowed most of the heavily wounded warriors from both pantheons before escaping.
"How dare they betray me!"
"I'm willing to sacrifice myself for stability. But how dare the other realms do this? How dare he do such a thing!"
Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with even more cold light.
Without hesitation, he turned his head and manipulated the power of reincarnation.
“Send me back to the realms.”
Sacrifice is to protect the people and things I care about. If they are gone, what does the destruction of the abyss have to do with me?
"Insufficient permissions. Guardian, please continue your mission of guarding the abyss."
A cold voice echoed from the laws.
Jiang Yan then remembered that in order to merge all the powers, not only the "Holy Lord of Light" and the "Emperor of the Dead" but also the "Lord of Reincarnation" had their divine positions shattered. The two core entities of the original Reincarnation body, the "Mechanical Overlord" and the "Zerg Overlord," were also submerged by the infinite laws and decomposed and merged within them.
"Hahaha.."
Jiang Yan laughed in anger.
It turns out the other party had planned everything perfectly, while I was kept in the dark, like a clown who was sold out and was still counting the money for the other party.
They risked their lives, their divine positions, their power—everything—only to be betrayed and utterly wiped out in return.
"There's nothing surprising about it."
The Lord of the Abyss suddenly spoke: "When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; this has always been the case. Whether it is my existence, Vilandir's existence, or your existence, all of them are a great threat to the world."
"The best way to deal with a threat is to make it disappear forever."
“Send me back. Since you can see everything in all realms through the seal, you must have this ability.”
Jiang Yan looked at the "Lord of the Abyss" with pleading eyes.
"What use would you be if you went back like this? Without your divine position and power, you'd just be a burden, forcing your subordinates, who barely escaped this calamity, to sacrifice themselves one by one to protect you?"
The Lord of the Abyss spoke softly, like a devil's whisper: "Take the authority from my hands, accept the power of the Abyss, and everything will no longer be a problem..."
"I..."
Jiang Yan hesitated.
It's not because of anything else.
Although the "Lord of the Abyss" said that he would no longer be corrupted by the Abyss, it was ultimately only one side of the story.
He wasn't sure if truly merging with the Abyss would turn him into a mad monster who would destroy the world and kill those he cared about.
"It seems you haven't made up your mind yet."
The Lord of the Abyss seemed unhurried, and simply smiled faintly:
"There are two more water curtains that might change your mind."
