Chapter 449: Star Ark
[Why is the City Lord so pessimistic?]
[Even though we now have so much more time before the Abyssal Lord's invasion…]
[Besides, the Silver Dragon King is about to break through to Creation God. With a two against one advantage, how could we possibly lose?]
[Is there some unknown disaster we're not aware of?]
[I really don't understand…]
[Forget it, let's keep watching. The answer is probably in the next part of the video…]
A series of comments flooded the live chat.
The audience watched as Ye Cheng left his Creation God artifact for his daughter, unable to comprehend his actions. His behavior similar to someone preparing for their own death and leaving behind protection for their child made it clear that he still believed he would fall.
But why?
With such a huge advantage this time, with two versus one, how could they lose?
Nobody understood
But they would soon find out.
The video shifted to the Silver Dragon King.
She had assumed her true form, her colossal body sprawled across the surface of the moon, absorbing the vast cosmic energy surging in from all directions. The terrifying phenomenon engulfed the entire moon, a display of power beyond comprehension.
The boundless energy flow wrapped the entire celestial body, completely obscuring her figure.
Then, after reaching some unimaginable limit, the sky covering spectacle gradually faded. The moon once again became visible.
There
Lying majestically on the lunar surface, was a massive, godlike being.
Her unfolded wings alone could easily shroud the entire moon. Compared to before, her size had increased countless times over.
With such an overwhelming presence, she had undoubtedly surpassed the God King level.
But
"It's still not enough..."
A sigh echoed.
The Silver Dragon King reverted to her human form, quietly standing on the moon's surface.
A shadow appeared beside her without a word
Only reaching out to gently stroke her long hair, offering comfort.
She turned around to look at him.
"You knew all along… that I wouldn't be able to reach Creation God?"
"Mm."
Ye Cheng nodded lightly.
"The Soul Beast contract has a limit. It can only work up to the God King level. But Creation God is different it's no longer just about power…"
"More than anything, it requires comprehension and accumulation."
"Because of this, the contract can only bring you halfway to the Creation God realm. But to truly break past that final boundary, you must rely on yourself. The contract can no longer help you."
His words were calm yet heavy.
The Silver Dragon King's eyes reddened, her delicate body pressing into his embrace.
Ye Cheng held her close and shook his head.
"After all these years, I've finally figured it out."
"From the moment the first Abyssal creature arrived in Douluo, our world has been continuously polluted by the Abyss."
"This corruption… is invisible, but it's real. No matter what we do, as long as we remain here, we can never escape it."
"I have a feeling that because I ascended to Creation God earlier this time, the coming invasion from the Abyss will be worse than anything before."
"This time... it may truly be the end."
"The destruction of Douluo is already set in stone."
The Silver Dragon King trembled.
"No… There must be another way! There has to be!"
Ye Cheng said nothing
Only shaking his head in silence.
The live chat turned into chaos.
Even though the events in the video were still far in the future, most likely occurring long after their own deaths, the realization that their world was doomed to fall was something no one could accept.
Back in the video.
Ye Cheng sent the Silver Dragon King back to Douluo
And remained alone on the desolate moon.
He looked around at the lifeless lunar surface before nodding slightly.
Then
He raised his hand.
In an instant
The entire moon was engulfed in a brilliant, all encompassing light.
Time passed.
When the light finally faded
The moon appeared unchanged.
[What did the City Lord just do?]
[The moon… it looks the same as before?]
[I have a feeling this is some kind of backup plan.]
[Yeah, Ye Cheng knows the future holds catastrophe. There's no way he didn't prepare an escape route.]
[This moon is definitely important.]
[I hope the next part of the video answers our questions…]
The audience wasn't blind
They knew Ye Cheng wouldn't act without reason. Whatever he had done to the moon had to be related to the survival of Douluo's people.
The video continued, fast forwarding through history.
Then
The familiar sight of the sky splitting open appeared once more.
But this time
Instead of one blood red rift
There were two.
As the space distorted, monstrous, twisted roars echoed.
From each rift
A gigantic head emerged.
One was the Abyssal Lord, whom the audience already recognized.
But the other
Was a demon with a ram's head and razor sharp fangs.
Undoubtedly
Another Abyssal Lord had arrived.
Two Abyssal Lords at once!
The live chat exploded.
[Now I get it… This is why Ye Cheng thought there was no chance of victory!]
[Damn it! We thought it was going to be two against one, but it turns out it's actually two against two!]
[But the Silver Dragon King didn't fully reach Creation God…she's still just half a step away!]
[So this is actually a one versus two battle…]
[The result is already obvious…]
In the video.
The scene shifted to Douluo Continent's White Cloud City.
All of Douluo's strongest figures had gathered.
Ye Cheng stood at the forefront flanked by Sun Zhongjing, Neptune, the Silver Dragon King, Qian Renxue, and many other powerful beings.
They all gazed at the blood red sky.
Surprisingly
Their expressions were calm.
Perhaps they had already known this day would come.
"So... the day has finally arrived."
Ye Cheng sighed.
Then, turning to Sun Zhongjing and Neptune, he said
"I will hold them off for as long as I can."
"You two must take control of the Star Ark and evacuate the last survivors."
The two God Kings nodded solemnly, their faces heavy.
They already knew what to do.
The scene then cut to the moon.
As the camera zoomed in, penetrating its desolate outer shell, the audience was stunned.
Inside
The moon had become a thriving world.
Blue skies. White clouds. Lush mountains. Flowing rivers.
Children ran and played, while beasts roamed freely.
In the distance cities stood tall.
The entire moon had been transformed into a paradise.
[Holy sh*t… This was his plan all along?!]
[So the barren moon was just a disguise?!]
[This is an entirely new world!]
[Ye Cheng must've spent countless years secretly building this place…]
[The "Star Ark"… It's not a spaceship. It's the entire moon!]
"Star Ark… launch!"
Sun Zhongjing activated a brilliant, multicolored crystal sphere.
The moon
Vanished.
Ye Cheng's final plan
A new home for the survivors.
