"Although I don't yet understand what form it takes, since it's a myth... it should have its integrity and be passed down through generations."
"Therefore, it needs to be an entity that has witnessed all the changes of all eras."
"It is an entity that always represents 'justice' regardless of changes in allegiances."
"An existence that no one would doubt."
"The only thing that meets the criteria is the Holy Light itself, which sounds sacred and beautiful and is praised in all biographies and histories."
Jiang Yan calmly concluded, "Most importantly, you were too hasty. You couldn't help but jump out when I was about to kill Lovis."
"Tell me... what value does she have now?"
Jiang Yan locked his gaze on the old man at the end of the dimensional passage, gathered demonic energy in his hand into a blade, and slowly swung it to the side.
That immense power was absolutely enough to completely obliterate the already severely injured Lovis.
100 meters... 10 meters... 1 meter...
The old man's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Lovis, reaching out to shatter the curved blade.
Damn it!
His expression was grim, and he was furious.
As Jiang Yan said, the myth is only missing one final step – witnessing its end.
Before this step is completed, the "holy light" of the witness must not completely disappear; otherwise, the ritual will fail.
Everything was originally under his control.
Even though Jiang Yan's return from the abyss was somewhat unexpected, he was still not worried.
It wasn't until just now, when Jiang Yan transformed all the angels' power into the power of the abyss and sent out the abyss army to destroy all the heavens and myriad realms, causing the laws of the origin of all realms to wither, that he truly became anxious.
Because now, among all the realms, the only remaining authority of the Holy Light is that of Lovis alone.
She cannot die, or all her efforts will be in vain.
He had to come in person.
"Looks like I guessed right."
Jiang Yan revealed a dangerous smile: "However, who gave you the courage to leave the protection of that dimension?"
As he spoke, he pulled the chains, and more than 700,000 abyssal layers, driven by endless power, once again crashed down on the opponent.
The power of this attack was too immense, transcending time and space, suppressing all laws, and there was no way to avoid it.
The old man's expression changed, and he finally stopped passively taking the beating.
He clenched his fists tightly, his body expanding a billionfold. Infinite light and shadow emanated from him, and the laws of time, space, elements, power... all evolved and ran in parallel.
"break!"
He roared and unleashed hundreds of thousands of divine spells, each one exceeding the limits of the Sovereign Realm.
If the power of the abyss is the power to destroy the world, then the power in the old man's hand represents the power to create the world.
Two peak forces collided head-on.
boom!
An energy storm capable of destroying everything was surging, and every ripple that escaped was enough to easily kill a powerful supreme being.
Layer upon layer of abyss was blasted away and destroyed, and the power of divine magic was annihilated and dissipated.
"die!"
Jiang Yan's eyes burst forth with dazzling divine light as he mobilized his power to its limit. 2,000 disordered stones broke through the air and transformed into pure energy, merging into the abyss layer. This was the first time he had gone all out since becoming the Lord of the Abyss.
In the void, years are not recorded.
After an unknown amount of time, the strength of both sides finally came to an end.
When the power of the last divine spell was annihilated, only the last ten thousand or so layers of the abyss remained out of the more than seven hundred thousand layers. The rest were all shattered and returned to the very bottom of the myriad realms, where they would take a long time to reassemble.
The more than ten thousand layers of abyss, carrying overwhelming power, crashed into the exhausted old man and Lovis.
"No...this shouldn't be happening. If it weren't for my desire to make the myth even more magnificent, you would never have had a chance...Damn it, it was so close! I'm not reconciled...I'm not reconciled!"
The old man's face showed resentment, and he roared angrily.
"No, impossible! You said I wouldn't die... You said you'd let me live forever in the myths you wrote..."
Lovis's face also showed terror: "Spare me, Jiang Yan, please... ah!"
Boom!
More than 10,000 layers of abyss were crushed through.
The already severely injured Lovis instantly turned into dust, every cell shattered by the power of the abyss.
After struggling to withstand more than 8,000 layers of attacks, the old man finally exhausted his last bit of energy and vanished into the void.
The entire universe seemed to let out a mournful cry, with space tearing open everywhere to reveal surging turbulent currents, as if weeping and mourning.
"Why do I feel like I'm the villain?"
Jiang Yan looked at everything, then suddenly chuckled and shook his head, his right hand hanging upside down, as the violent power of the abyss seeped into the space.
All the gaping fissures were forcibly stitched together, and endless nebulae converged, radiating brilliant light as if in celebration.
"That's more like it."
Jiang Yan turned his gaze to the entrance of the dimensional passage, pondered for a moment, and then stepped inside.
Perhaps there are some secrets hidden here that he wants to know.
Perhaps because the old man had died, the dimensional portal did not reject him this time.
After an indescribable sense of dimensional ascension, Jiang Yan finally entered the dimensional space where the old man had previously been.
It was a peculiar place.
It seems to be composed of countless lights and shadows, with various images evolving in all directions... No, perhaps it's not images, but some real history.
They intertwine and crisscross, forming a series of divine patterns.
Jiang Yan swept his divine sense over the area, and these divine runes flowed into his mind, converging into complete chapters that recorded almost everything that had happened since the first era.
"No wonder the Book of Genesis claims to know everything about things that already exist..."
Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and continued reading.
The story spans several hundred epochs and primarily tells of a young man named Lumian who receives guidance from the Holy Light, becomes the Holy Lord, creates the Angel race, unites with the gods, and jointly governs all the heavens and myriad worlds.
Everything was shattered after the abyss appeared.
According to the records of the divine runes, the original Holy Lord betrayed the Holy Light and all realms, and fell into the abyss.
Guided by the Holy Light, the new successor, Lovis, inherited the position of Holy Lord and led the gods in a fierce battle against the Abyss for countless eras. In the end, she joined forces with the gods and the will of all realms to seal the Abyss forever at the bottom of all worlds, creating a peaceful and beautiful future.
Upon seeing this message, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a surge of emotion.
He had a vague premonition that if he failed to stop everything by the end of this era, these divine runes might become a fait accompli. The gods of Lovis and all realms would live forever in this dimension.
"So this is the greatest history book of all time."
Jiang Yan sighed softly; he had gradually come to understand the form of this power system.
One can imagine what would happen if the other party completed the ritual.
Even if he becomes the Lord of the Abyss and destroys everything.
But the era ended as a result.
The power of the abyss, without replenishment, will eventually be exhausted over endless years, and even he will perish.
At that time, a new era of reincarnation will begin.
Those newborn lives will learn all this from the divine runes.
They would believe that the abyss was inherently evil.
They would believe that the original Holy Lord betrayed all living beings.
They might think that angels are those with lots of eyeballs.
They would believe that Lovis and the gods were the saviors.
They would believe that holy light forever represents justice and holiness.
These insights will solidify this period of history and turn it into fact.
This is a power that illuminates the past with the future, based on tradition and imagination!
"What a pity...it's all over."
Jiang Yan manipulated the power of the abyss, waving his hand to erase most of the light and shadow, and constructing new divine runes.
Now, he wants to create his own legend.
