Images gradually appeared in the second water curtain.
Unlike the previous piece, this piece was divided into thousands of closely spaced squares of similar size, each displaying a different scene that seemed to come from various planes of the myriad worlds.
Jiang Yan swept his divine sense across many planes, and he had a clear impression of them. Before he transformed into a reincarnation, he had gone to these places to resurrect the fallen heroes one by one.
A certain plane in the image.
Squads equipped with fine armor patrolled the streets with their heads held high.
They kicked open the door of a house, and the leader shouted loudly:
"Where are you? Get your ass out here."
"According to imperial law, trespassing on a private residence without cause is punishable by 20 strokes of the cane and dismissal from office. I wonder if you gentlemen have any permission documents?"
A powerful voice rang out as a burly man emerged from the house. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm, yet his mere presence exuded a chilling aura, clearly indicating that he was a seasoned warrior.
The squad was intimidated by the imposing presence and took several steps back before they could react.
"Hey, Frank, I know you. You were the vice-commander of the Third Elite Knights of the Empire, and you participated in the Battle of Zhenyuan Pass twenty years ago."
The leader took out a magic scroll and sneered, "Look, this is an order personally issued by His Majesty the new emperor of the empire. All believers who are suspected of being the original evil god 'Jiang Yan' must be eliminated."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his men behind him drew enchanted spears and surrounded the burly man.
"According to intelligence from the Imperial Military Intelligence Service, after you sacrificed yourself in that war, you were resurrected by an evil god through unknown means. You belong to a high-risk group who have been bewitched by the evil god. Please come with us."
The captain revealed a malicious, playful smile: "Former Vice-Captain of Morank, put on the Demon-Suppressing Ring and get on your way."
"No need for that."
Frank gently touched the storage ring on his fingertip, and a spear stained with dried blood sprang out.
His indifferent gaze swept over the crowd:
“I, Morank, am deeply blessed by the Holy Light. I was born a believer of the Holy Lord, and I will be a soldier of the Emperor even in death. Perhaps some will succumb to the power of evil, but I will follow the Holy Lord for eternity.”
As for you lackeys... die!
The words had barely left his lips when the spear pointed straight at them, a flash of cold light like lightning, and three soldiers fell instantly, their throats pierced.
With a sweeping motion, a crescent-shaped spear beam swept across, instantly splitting several soldiers in two.
"Damn it, Morank, you dared to kill the Empire's enforcement team! You've been bewitched by the evil god after all. Target confirmed. Request the angel to descend and slay him!"
The squad leader hurriedly hid behind the crowd and tore open a sealed scroll.
In an instant, a phantom portal exuding an eerie aura unfolded in the air, from which a pair of white wings emerged, gradually revealing its full form.
—A terrifying monster covered in enormous eyeballs.
The rampaging Morank was instantly blasted away by the god-level pressure, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, but instead he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it really is a demon. This monster... dares to call itself an angel..."
"You have attempted to bury the Holy Lord's achievements, distort history, and slaughter believers, but one day, the Holy Lord will return to all realms. At that time, all evil will be purified, and we will be reborn in the Holy Lord's glory!"
"Stubborn and obstinate".
The enormous eyeball silently watched the roaring Morank below, while countless other eyes stared back at him.
The next moment.
With a loud bang, Morank's body exploded into a pile of minced meat that flew throughout the yard.
The very bottom of the abyss.
Jiang Yan stared blankly at this scene, as well as the images in the other squares.
The destroyed Church of Holy Light, and the newly built Temple of Lovis on the ruins.
The pursued believers, including the heroes who had fought in Zhenyuan Pass across various planes, were not spared.
All the books that recorded his name and deeds were burned.
The various realms seemed to fear something, and were desperately trying to erase any trace of his existence.
"I will go back."
Jiang Yan closed her eyes and murmured softly.
"Well, have you thought it through?"
The Lord of the Abyss asked with an unchanged expression.
"Yes, actually I already figured it out after seeing the first water curtain. No one can hurt my people and get away unscathed."
Jiang Yan's face betrayed no emotion, he said calmly:
"I'm just considering whether to take your suggestion, or..."
"Or what?" The Lord of the Abyss glanced at him with some curiosity.
Jiang Yan raised his head, his eyes growing even deeper: "Since you say I am the embodiment of your evil thoughts, capable of rendering even someone as powerful as you helpless, then if I were to reclaim all the evil thoughts that have been neutralized, I should also become powerful enough, right?"
"oh?"
The Lord of the Abyss's voice carried a hint of obvious amusement: "That's right, perhaps then... the Abyss will split into two parts. Those obsessions will support me more, while the will of the Abyss will favor you more."
"Aren't you going to try to stop me?"
Jiang Yan met his gaze: "After all, it was only by working together with the senior that these evil thoughts were completely resolved."
Why try to dissuade them?
The smile in the eyes of the "Lord of the Abyss" deepened: "Velandil is a scholar, so he wants everything to be under control, but I am different. I am a dreamer. I prefer miracles to countless calculations at every step."
"Besides... in a sense, you are me. Since we are one, I will naturally support any decision you make."
Thank you.
Jiang Yan looked slightly surprised, but didn't say anything. He simply turned to face the third water curtain.
"So...you want to see the last water curtain before making a decision?"
The Lord of the Abyss raised an eyebrow slightly.
"No, I'm just afraid that killing them dozens of times will be enough to vent my anger."
Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light as he said calmly, "Since things have come to this point, let me give up completely. Then... I'll end all of this myself."
"interesting..."
The Lord of the Abyss laughed and nodded: "Then I'll give you another hand."
He stretched out his right hand, and the hundreds of chains above him loosened slightly. Then his palm rotated half a circle clockwise.
Light and shadow began to appear on the third water curtain.
"Unlike the first two videos, this third video depicts events that will happen 10 years from now."
The Lord of the Abyss released the chains he had broken free from and then said leisurely, “Unlike the countless possibilities of the Three Lives Evolution, the future I see will inevitably happen if there is no sufficiently powerful force to interfere.”
"I see."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to the third water curtain.
The image gradually came into focus, revealing a familiar scene.
That is... the Holy Realm.
