"Eternal Burial!"
Anubis, who had been silent all along, suddenly struck his scepter.
An ancient and deathly power condensed from nothingness, and his body expanded ten thousand times in an instant, with a deathly aura that seemed almost tangible surrounding the head of a huge jackal.
Behind him, a vast cemetery loomed in the distance, within which a coffin slowly opened, and a dozen chains rose into the air, approaching the God of Time along some strange pattern.
"The divine authority over time is so weak in your hands that you lack even the courage to fight the Abyss; it's a waste of your talent. Today, on behalf of the fundamental laws of time, I revoke your right to use it..."
At the same time, Jiang Yan continued his narration methodically, activating his title ability.
The God of Time seemed to be listening to the supreme celestial music, completely absorbed, and did not notice the approaching chilling chains in the void.
"True name, Themicros."
Anubis looked on indifferently, and a chain then extended behind the other person.
Snap.
A faint clicking sound rang out, and the Time God seemed to have some kind of destiny sealed away, his aura suddenly dropping.
"The world is sealed off; the path to survival is severed."
Two more chains spread.
"The divine artifact is shattered, and my subordinates have betrayed me..."
As Anubis continued to unleash his skills, chains spread toward the God of Time, causing his aura to plummet, almost causing him to fall below the level of a supreme god.
But the God of Time remained deaf to his words. Like a diligent student, he listened intently to Jiang Yan's endless chatter, nodding occasionally as if he had gained some insight, his expression one of rapt attention.
"Fate has abandoned us, but cause and effect are complete."
Suddenly, Anubis's eyes shone brightly, and the vast tomb behind him became increasingly clear. His voice was majestic and awe-inspiring.
He raised the scepter in his hand, pointing it at the God of Time.
"In the name of the guardian of the eternal tomb, I sentence you to eternal slumber!"
In an instant, ancient chants resounded in the void, and majestic wills hung high in the sky, as if witnessing this encoffining ceremony.
Thirteen chains simultaneously wrapped around the opponent's body and suddenly pulled him toward the coffin behind Anubis.
"No... What kind of ability is this? Why can't I use the power of time anymore... No... Wait, you can't kill me... Ah!"
The God of Time, who had been attacked, finally regained consciousness and screamed in terror.
But by then it was too late.
Dragged along by thirteen chains, the powerless creature was pulled into the coffin.
Bang!
The opened coffin was slammed shut, and thirteen chains tightly bound the entire coffin as it was moved into the cemetery.
"The ceremony is complete!"
As Anubis unleashed his final divine power, the entire phantom of the graveyard gradually faded into the void and disappeared.
He turned and bowed respectfully to Jiang Yan:
"I have fulfilled my mission, Your Majesty."
"It's an eye-opener."
Jiang Yan said with some emotion, "As expected of a divine technique that can bury even the supreme beings forever, even I felt a chill when that ancient chant was uttered."
Upon hearing this, the other supreme beings nodded in agreement.
This divine technique was only used during the reign of the third emperor to deal with two Abyss Supremes. It was a secret among the gods, and it was the first time they had ever seen it.
Loshia couldn't help but glance at Anubis, her vigilance growing stronger.
I never expected that this guy, who usually has no presence and is obsessed with building structures all day, would have such powerful abilities.
She had a vague premonition that even if she were locked onto by this ability during the Holy War, she would definitely die!
"Huh? He hasn't perished yet?"
Jiang Yan scanned the area with his divine sense but did not detect any unclaimed divine positions, so he asked.
“Your Majesty, Themicros is, after all, a powerful supreme being. It will take at least three years to completely assimilate him.”
Anubis explained.
"Three years...?"
Jiang Yan sighed with some regret. He had originally planned to use the "future" to dominate the world after fusing with the Time God's authority.
It seems that the only option now is to kill those Time Gods and then let Loshia and the others try to fuse with the relevant divine roles.
However, these fixed divine positions all have compatibility requirements. Just like how Ainate was able to successfully merge, it was partly due to his own help in the future, and partly because he was the inheritor of that time god.
"If all else fails, we can only wait until the God of Time has completely perished. We should be able to refine a high godhood using the Reincarnation Divine Art."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and looked at everyone, saying:
"Ainate and Zhou Yuan have made great contributions in this campaign and will temporarily assume the position of Lord of the Great World of Time."
"Losia, Tinas, Anubis, and Death are awarded 100,000 merits each. The rest are awarded 50,000 merits each."
“Etherra and Anubis will remain here for the time being to help complete the world’s reconstruction and missionary work.”
"Floya, Sheena, you are responsible for collecting the available resources and transporting them back to the Holy Realm."
"Anna, draft a statement on the Forum of All Realms to urge other pantheons to abandon darkness and embrace the light and get back on the right path as soon as possible."
"Loshia and Asar continue to integrate the army and prepare for battle."
"Seraphion, dispatch the Blade of Heavenly Punishment squad to closely monitor the movements of all pantheons."
Jiang Yan scanned the area and said authoritatively, "The real challenge is yet to come; we must not let our guard down."
"I will obey the imperial decree."
Everyone bowed and accepted the order.
His eyes gleamed with excitement and fighting spirit.
"Very well, I'll leave this place to you."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan nodded slightly, reached out and opened up space. As the vast divine power surged, the world's origin, which had lost the control of the Time God, was drawn out without any resistance and connected with the Holy Realm and the Underworld.
Two cross-border channels are gradually taking shape.
This way, they can provide timely support should they be attacked by other pantheons.
Having done all this, he walked straight through the passage and his figure appeared in the underworld.
Although the attack on the Time God system seemed easy, both God systems had actually exerted their full strength.
But things didn't get that simple after that.
The demise of the Time God System would definitely make other powerful god systems feel insecure. Even if they were favored by fate, it would be impossible for such an absurd thing as deliberately delaying their support to happen again.
Furthermore, it is highly likely that they will face a full-scale counterattack from the remaining 27 pantheons simultaneously.
We must make thorough preparations.
"It's time to summon more Heroic Spirits."
Jiang Yan looked at the terrifying numbers on the resource panel. During his previous trials in the Underworld, countless lives had been slain, allowing him to collect a vast amount of Death Essence.
He extended his staff of calamity and slammed it down.
"In my name, I grant you permission to awaken from your slumber."
A majestic voice resounded, and the phantom of a solemn and dignified hall crossed over into the realm.
As if sensing something, the once deathly silent hall was now filled with an irrepressible excitement, and pairs of cold eyes lit up.
The green flames in front of the hall, representing new life, flickered violently, casting many illusory shadows.
"Heroic spirits who have existed since time immemorial, join me in rebuilding the glory of the Land of the Dead."
Jiang Yan pointed his staff, and boundless power of death surged forth.
A chorus of responses rang out from inside the hall.
"In response to your call, Your Majesty."
