"Jiang Yan! Do you really have to be so ruthless as to wipe us all out?!"
Amidst the piercing screams, Lovis's figure emerged from the edge of the empty barrier.
She looked flustered, clutching the somewhat damaged Book of Genesis tightly in front of her, the wound that had pierced her chest had mostly healed.
"Huh, it actually has the ability to seal my sword."
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the boundless abyssal demonic energy shattered the void. Instantly, a black jade-colored longsword rang out and returned to his hand.
Seeing this, Lovis's fear deepened, and she tried to soften her voice:
"Jiang Yan, we don't have any irreconcilable conflicts."
"Yes, I did make a small mistake, but who doesn't make mistakes?"
"Moreover, during my tenure as the Holy Lord of Light, the Holy Light pantheon was unprecedentedly powerful, gathering the vast majority of faith. It is thanks to me that the Heavenly Army is so powerful today."
As she spoke, Lovis seemed increasingly convinced of her own right, and her expression gradually became more composed: "Let's call this a balance of merits and demerits. Now I'll return the authority of the Holy Light to you, and we'll be even, shall we?"
"Um?"
Even with Jiang Yan's current strength and state of mind, he was so angry that he laughed for a moment.
A tiny mistake?
When the first Holy Lord suppressed the Abyss, if she hadn't used the Book of Creation to increase negative power in order to gain a divine position, the crisis in the Abyss would have been brought under control long ago.
This little thing indirectly led to the destruction of thousands of epochs, and also caused his good intentions to exhaust their strength in the abyss to sustain him for thousands of epochs.
Furthermore, the so-called consolidation of the majority of faiths is nothing more than forcibly seizing the share of other pantheons, forcing other pantheons that originally submitted to the Holy Light pantheon to rebel.
Furthermore, by using the method of imitation, they secretly supported others to steal a large number of the original god positions, causing a group of cowardly individuals to become the god lords of various pantheons. This made it impossible for the pantheons of all realms to unite in the subsequent battle with the Abyss, and the Holy Light and Undead pantheons were unable to hold on alone and suffered repeated defeats.
—This is a secret he only learned after receiving the inheritance of the "Lord of the Abyss".
The gods I saw in the fragments of the ancient Netherworld were all heroes, and they even volunteered to go and suppress the abyss, but they all turned into deserters afterward.
As for his desertion during the final battle, his use of the "Book of Time" to tamper with history, and his alliance with other realms to attack the Holy Realm, there's no need to mention them.
The two things mentioned above alone are enough to make her die a thousand times over.
"How could someone cause such a huge disaster?"
Jiang Yan felt a pang of emotion, but his gaze grew increasingly cold.
Sensing the undisguised killing intent, Lovis regained her senses once more, forcing a fawning smile as she hurriedly said:
"Jiang Yan, you can't kill me! It was Vilandir who helped me obtain the inheritor qualification, and it was Vilandir who taught me the theft technique. It's all his fault!"
"And this book, it was this book that lured me in. I'm giving it to you, please let me go this time, just this once, and I promise I'll never do it again..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yan raised his hand and waved it. The giant palm formed from demonic energy slammed down, instantly shattering the divine power protecting him and sending him flying. He crashed through more than thirty stars before barely stopping.
Ignoring the intense pain coursing through her body, Lovis hurriedly tried to escape.
Jiang Yan simply stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion in the air. Instantly, a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens, lifting Lovis up and bringing her back to his front.
"You've reminded me that I also need to do some calculations for my seniors."
No wonder the third emperor kept claiming he was atoning for his sins, and even in death he couldn't rest in peace, going to great lengths to cultivate him. After all, without his help, this brainless guy wouldn't have been able to cause any trouble even with the Book of Creation... no, without the help of his predecessor, he probably wouldn't have even been able to become a god.
However, everyone has a period of ignorance and naivety.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, and four sword energies containing terrifying power took shape in his hand.
"I will repay you with this sword on behalf of my senior."
puff!
As the blade swept across, a left arm was severed cleanly at the root. The raging abyssal demonic energy surged through the wound, causing excruciating pain as if every cell were being pricked by needles.
"Ah... have mercy... have mercy on me!"
Loves screamed in pain, her face drained of color and contorted in agony.
"This sword is for the gods and all living beings who died because of you."
Whoosh!
His right arm also flew off.
"This sword strike is to sever my good intentions."
Whoosh!
Both legs were severed at the same time.
"This final sword strike."
Jiang Yan toyed with the remaining sword energy in his hand, looked at Lovis who was screaming in agony, and said calmly, "Just for myself, and for the gods of the Holy Light pantheon who were deceived and hurt by you."
"No...no! You forced me to do this, you forced me to do this!"
A sinister look suddenly appeared on Lovis's contorted face. Blood dripped onto the Book of Creation floating nearby as she chanted loudly:
"Book of Genesis, I am willing to offer everything, with myself as the anchor, so that the great... Ah!"
Countless lights and shadows appeared all around, and a chilling power seemed about to descend.
But at that moment, a vast sword light pierced the sky, instantly destroying the light and shadow on the Book of Creation, and then pierced through the heart, interrupting the sacrificial ceremony.
"Who do you think I am? A stupid protagonist in a brilliant biography who gets magnified by the villain?"
Jiang Yan gave a cold laugh.
That's ridiculous. With the opponent's meager strength, if they could pull off such desperate tricks in front of him, he might as well be dead.
Of course, it's not out of fear.
Even if they are powerful beings from ancient myths, so what?
He is now the strongest being of this era, the Lord of the Abyss who controls infinite power.
He certainly wouldn't let go of this book of evil.
However, instead of passively waiting for the enemy to arrive, we will take the initiative and crush them all.
Jiang Yan looked at the Book of Creation, which had suffered a severe blow and was greatly damaged, and snatched it away. Two dazzling beams of divine light from his eyes pierced straight through its protective aura.
"break!"
Page after page was pierced, and countless embellishments and lies vanished.
The Book of Creation, originally filled with a sacred aura, revealed its true form: a passage to an unknown dimension.
An aura of distortion, decay, and rot constantly seeped out.
A terrifying power seemed to be brewing within it.
Jiang Yan stood quietly at the entrance of the passage, not rushing in.
Hundreds of thousands of chains connecting his body to the abyss appeared.
"I don't care how many traps you've set or how many conspiracies you've hidden."
Jiang Yan slowly reached out his hand, and all the chains on his body broke at the same time.
The entire abyss trembled violently at the same time, and they rose up from the very bottom of all the heavens and the myriad realms with cheers.
Jiang Yan suddenly grabbed all the chains, and his vast divine power drove all the abyssal layers to crash into the unknown dimension.
"Let's stop the impact of this abyss from over 700,000 layers deep first!"
"broken!"
