At this very moment, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life once again bloomed the power of creation that the Divine Realm only possessed when it was originally created. Creation would revert them as well.
When the power of creation was elevated to the extreme, life and destruction would cease to exist, and everything would start over from the beginning.
When the time came, what would remain would only be the two seeds representing life and destruction. The God of Life and the God of Destruction would also disappear from the Divine Realm.
The gods didn't expect that the husband-and-wife pair of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life would actually choose such a resolute method to deal with this great calamity of the Divine Realm.
As long as they could recompress the Divine Realm back to its original size before the cosmic aberration completely devoured it, then this monster could be suppressed by the Divine Realm again, and the gods would naturally be safe and sound.
The area covered by the pink color had already begun to enlarge, and the two great God Kings in the air gradually flew together.
They gazed at each other in the air.
The God of Destruction's eyes were clearly a bit dim. "I'm sorry, Little Green, our story ends here."
"Don't say that." The Goddess of Life's eyes were very gentle. "No matter what happens, I will accompany you by your side. Marrying you, I have never regretted anything, not once."
The God of Destruction took a deep breath forcefully, but it seemed liquid still flowed from his eyes that had turned purple.
He turned around fiercely and roared loudly toward the direction where the gods gathered: "Everyone, it's up to you next. You must protect the Divine Realm well!"
After saying this, his figure abruptly flashed forward. He opened his arms and hugged the Goddess of Life tightly in his embrace.
This was the embrace of destruction and life. The next instant when purple and green abruptly overlapped in the air, a phenomenon of time-space stillness briefly appeared throughout the entire Divine Realm. Only an extremely small number of deities could see that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life in the air gradually fused together, transforming into a massive pink light sphere. The robust power of creation combined with the entire Divine Realm in this exact instant.
A massive suction force burst forth from the power of creation just like that.
The aberration far away in the Forbidden Place of the Gods was also rapidly rendered in the same color, and then began to collapse and contract inward at an astonishing speed.
The pink light released from the one hundred and eight mental power pillars abruptly rose into the sky, becoming heavenly pillars connecting heaven and earth, pulling that aberration continuously inward.
During the process of contracting inward and shrinking in volume, the pink light attached to the Divine Realm's protective shield also began to become increasingly robust. This was clearly the scene of the protective shield beginning to thicken.
The Divine Realm began to contract, and the originally massive mental power also began to stack up.
On top of this, the power of creation produced after the fusion of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life also added an extra layer of protection to the entire Divine Realm. This was the power of creation, the power of creation that creates all things and all elements.
The power of creation was famous for its endless generation. With it around, the destruction caused by the Supreme God King level aberration would be vastly reduced.
While their lives reached the end, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life also did what they could do for the Divine Realm to the extreme.
Buzz, buzz, buzz——
The massive aberration was already getting closer and closer.
After a brief stagnation, the Divine Realm returned to normal. The gods gathered around the Divine Realm Committee, under the infiltration of that power of creation, had their divine power restored to the peak level.
If one looked at the Divine Realm from the universe, they would find that the entire Divine Realm now had turned pink.
The cosmic aberration was getting closer and closer. Looking from afar, one could discover that it looked completely like a massive spider. It itself was continuously crawling at high speed. At the core of its head, golden light could be faintly seen flashing continuously.
The closer this Star-Devouring Monster got, the more dangerous it was, because on its body was slow terrifying radiation, an existence that could truly insta-kill deities.
The Divine Realm was contracting very fast. In the sky, that cluster of pink light began to become increasingly dim. However, the power of creation emitted by the entire Divine Realm was becoming increasingly robust.
The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, at the cost of sacrificing themselves, recompressed the entire Divine Realm. At the same time, they also merged all their power into the Divine Realm, acting as the initial power of the Divine Realm to resist the Star-Devouring Monster with their own bodies.
With the compression of the Divine Realm, the thickness of the outer layer of the Divine Realm rapidly recovered, gradually returning to its original state. The thickened Divine Realm barrier also made all the deities feel much more at ease.
Finally, the first attack from the aberration arrived.
The massive posture landed heavily on the surface of the Divine Realm protective shield.
Instantly, the entire Divine Realm trembled violently. However, under the protection of the power of creation, that cloud belt quickly collapsed, turning into nothingness and disappearing. The monster's forward speed also noticeably weakened due to the collision with the Divine Realm.
After the first impact, the second one followed immediately. The power of creation fiercely met the enemy, abruptly neutralizing this second attack as well. But the trembling of the Divine Realm also became more severe. The entire interior of the Divine Realm was turned upside down, with multiple phantoms appearing.
A golden light shot out from the top of the Divine Realm Committee, transforming into a massive light shield, enveloping all the deities gathered with the Divine Realm Committee as the center.
Within the range of the golden light shield, the terrifying power that previously seemed to distort time and space was instantly completely blocked.
"Boom——" The buzz turned into a roar. Outside the light shield transformed by the Divine Realm Committee, while the Divine Realm trembled violently, the earth began to crack, mountains began to collapse, and lakes overflowed. The entire Divine Realm was in violent turmoil—
Fortunately, the protective power of the power of creation was extremely robust, and the Divine Realm contracted in a timely manner. Otherwise, just the radiation from the Star-Devouring Monster's outer skin might have been enough to decompose the Divine Realm protective shield.
The pink light grew stronger and stronger, doing its best to block the destruction caused by the Star-Devouring Monster. Although the interior of the Divine Realm was shaking, it hadn't been destroyed too severely yet.
However, the expressions of the Seven Deadly Sins Gods located at the inner core of the Divine Realm Committee were becoming increasingly heavy.
That bright pink color was maintained entirely at the cost of consuming the divine power of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. Moreover, it was fundamentally impossible for them to maintain it for too long.
The pink light grew stronger and stronger. Attack after attack was continuously worn down by this power of creation. It seemed the power of the Star-Devouring Monster had gradually disintegrated, and its overall volume had also begun to shrink, while the Divine Realm protection remained unmoving under its impact.
It seemed that resisting wasn't that difficult.
However, after that pink light became robust to the extreme, the light finally began to decay—
In the sky, two spots of light suddenly appeared, like meteors chasing the moon, falling towards the ground.
The light shield of the Divine Realm Committee had no effect whatsoever on these two spots of light. The two spots of light instantly passed through the barrier, even passing through the top of the Divine Realm Committee, landing in front of the Seven Deadly Sins Gods.
Those were two crystal-clear crystals. One was shaped like an octagonal star. Inside, there seemed to be endless purplish-black clouds fluctuating violently, seemingly containing extremely profound power of destruction.
The other one was teardrop-shaped, a fresh and dripping emerald green. Even with just one look, one could feel the massive life force contained within.
The deities present all saw their eyes dim. Although they didn't know what they were and had never seen them, they could guess—
Those were seeds, the seeds that existed at the beginning of the Divine Realm. The Seed of Life and the Seed of Destruction were both the foundation when the Divine Realm originally existed!
The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life transforming back into seeds also meant that their lives had reached the end...
Rumble!
Suddenly, the Divine Realm quaked violently, and the entire Divine Realm trembled amidst the shaking.
Through the light screen of the Divine Realm Central Hub, it could be vaguely seen that just from that hit earlier, the entire Divine Realm seemed to have expanded a bit again. Meanwhile, the outermost layer of pink halo filled with the aura of creation had gradually weakened, beginning to decline from its peak.
The Divine Realm expanding again also meant that the Divine Realm had begun to gradually disintegrate.
The gods suppressed their agitated emotions. The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction had done their best. They recompressed the Divine Realm, and relying on the divine power of two Supreme Gods, at the cost of their sacrifice, forcefully withstood the first wave of attacks from that Star-Devouring Monster.
Next, it was up to them.
"The Star-Devouring Monster is attacking, all gods prepare—We, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods, make an oath here, swearing to live and die with the Divine Realm!"
Around the bodies of the Seven Great Deadly Sins Gods, golden runes suddenly rose. These runes soared into the sky, transforming in the blink of an eye into a layer of dense light mist emanating from the top of the Divine Realm Committee, forming rings of golden halos in the sky.
Every deity gathered around the Divine Realm Committee could clearly see it.
When such a disaster strikes, what could boost the morale of the gods more than this?
The other gods looked at each other and simultaneously raised their right hands, swearing an oath to the Divine Realm Central Hub.
"Swear to live and die with the Divine Realm!"
Outside the Divine Realm Committee, numerous Second and Third-Class Deities, as well as a large number of Divine Officers, listened to the solemn oaths and watched the rings of halos emitted by the deities representing the top existences of the Divine Realm. For a time, the divine bloodline in every deity's body began to boil.
In the Divine Realm, they had lived too, too many comfortable days. And now, it was time to burn with hot blood.
"Swear to live and die with the Divine Realm——"
Impassioned calls began to ring out around the Divine Realm Committee, and rings of halos, strong or weak, began to bloom along with it. And amidst the blooming of these halos, the entire Divine Realm also began to tremble slightly.
On the ground, the pink color originally brought by the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction slowly seeped into the land of the Divine Realm, and the humming and shaking of the entire Divine Realm actually stabilized as a result.
A brilliant golden light violently shot out from the tall tower at the top of the Divine Realm Committee at this moment, fiercely shooting into the air, illuminating the entire Divine Realm. The golden protective shield of the Divine Realm, in turn, held the massive aberration outside.
Immediately after, streaks of golden light sprinkled down from the Divine Realm Committee like threads, respectively connecting to the gods. Without hesitation, the gods sat cross-legged, unreservedly injecting their divine power into those golden threads.
The light of the Divine Realm Committee became even more dazzling. The entire Divine Realm, under the concerted efforts of the gods, turned into a massive golden light sphere.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Booms rang out continuously. The robust golden color just flashed in the universe like that, forcefully resisting the formidable and terrifying impacts of the Star-Devouring Monster. The Divine Realm no longer trembled, remaining unmoving.
This was the divine power of the gods, and even more so the conviction of the gods, the gods united in concerted effort.
Led by the Seven Great Deadly Sins Gods, deities of all levels surrounded them respectively, injecting their own divine power into the Divine Realm Central Hub, and the Seven Deadly Sins Gods were the main controllers of the entire resistance.
At this time, the bodies of the seven of them had also completely turned golden. Streaks of strong golden light continuously flashed in the air.
With every flash, the air would distort slightly. But the golden light on their bodies also became increasingly robust.
United we stand!
The Star-Devouring Monster had already completely pressed against the Divine Realm at this time. Terrifying radiation madly decomposed the protection around the periphery of the Divine Realm, trying to destroy it.
But the Divine Realm was so tenacious. Layers of mental power shields were decomposed, but were immediately replenished by robust divine power.
However, the vibration of the Divine Realm's protective shield also flashed increasingly severely with the gradual approach of the Star-Devouring Monster's torso.
The Star-Devouring Monster was simply too strong, but it seemed it hadn't revived thoroughly. In the beginning, those attacks were extremely formidable. It almost exhausted the power of two God Kings to barely neutralize them.
But subsequently, the Star-Devouring Monster instead became somewhat weaker, and the Divine Realm restabilized under the efforts of the gods.
But as the body of the Star-Devouring Monster gradually glowed with bizarre light, the energy on it seemed to grow stronger and stronger. The gods had no way to judge just to what extent this Star-Devouring Monster would grow strong.
Undoubtedly, the core of the Star-Devouring Monster would be the greatest calamity the Divine Realm faced this time. Right now, all they could do was to resist in their toughest state, striving to protect the entire Divine Realm.
With the continuous strengthening of the Star-Devouring Monster, the entire Divine Realm began to tremble once again. The earth began to crack, mountains began to collapse. The clouds and mist in the sky slowly dissipated, and everything outside the Divine Realm could already be seen clearly.
The purpose of the Star-Devouring Monster was to devour the entire Divine Realm completely clean.
Fear? Such emotion had long ceased to exist. Now, all that all the deities could do was to unleash all of their divine power.
Suddenly, two clusters of flames silently appeared respectively on both sides of the Divine Realm Committee.
When these two clusters of flames first appeared, they were inconspicuous. One cluster was red, the other blue. They looked like nothing more than the simplest, plainest two clusters of flames.
However, these two clusters of flames almost instantly changed color. One cluster turned black, the other white.
In an instant, time and space around the entire Divine Realm Committee seemed to abruptly pause for a moment. Immediately after, these two clusters of flames abruptly elongated, actually transforming into two sharp, keen swords.
First, a gentle female voice sounded, "Supreme Good is like Water!"
Then, a deep female voice sounded, "Awe-Inspiring Evil Aura!"
Instantly, between heaven and earth, a dense aura seeming to come from the primordial chaos abruptly rose. The sky turned white, the earth turned black.
In this instant, how similar it was to the simultaneous eruption of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction not long ago!
Yes, Zhongli Yu had arrived with Zhang Lexuan and Cui Yajie. The three of them impressively inherited the positions of the other three Great God Kings in the Divine Realm Committee.
As the saying goes, when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Once the Divine Realm was destroyed, the Star-Devouring Monster would likely extend its demonic claws towards the neighboring Douluo Continent. In that case, the entire continent would probably fall into despair.
Moreover, the earth's core of the Douluo Continent was also inside this Star-Devouring Monster, or in other words—it was the heart of this Star-Devouring Monster!
Just now, Bibi Dong, who had accepted the Goddess of Love inheritance, obtained part of Aphrodite's memories.
Six million years ago, Demon God Lucifer once dug out the heart of this monster and then used it as the new earth core of the Douluo Continent at that time.
The remains of this monster became the embryonic form of the initial Divine Realm. The establishment and development of the Divine Realm were all carried out on the remains of this aberration.
The identity of the Star-Devouring Monster was highly likely to be an alternative law enforcer of the Universal Will. Similar to space-time turbulence, they were both means used by the Universal Will to erase high-dimensional planes.
By a strange combination of circumstances, Tang San brought Douluo's earth core, which was the monster's original heart, back to the Divine Realm, causing this giant beast that should have ceased activity to revive once again.
Demon God Lucifer, who was born from the sacrifice of the entire Eden Kingdom, was no longer around. Could the current Divine Realm really oppose this thing?
Zhongli Yu merely held the Asura Sword high. At this moment, she could finally unleash the complete Asura Blood Sword.
Three swords as one, controlling all the laws of the entire Divine Realm.
—The Sword of the Three Realms' Judgment, precisely the world of Kindness, the world of Evil, and the world of Asura.
Black, white, and red, three-colored lights congealed together in the air. At this time, it had already turned into a massive three-colored giant sword, appearing across the sky!
The gods watched this scene in shock. The Seven Deadly Sins Gods in the middle seemed to have sensed something and quickly threw the Seeds of Destruction and Life to the three Great God Kings.
Only this strongest sword had a chance to finish off this massive Star-Devouring Monster.
The Sword of the Three Realms' Judgment with the added intent of Destruction and Life!
The massive three-colored sword fell, slashing onto the surface of the aberration's body, embedding deeply into its outer shell.
Buzz...
Seeming to feel immense pain, the monster's entire body glowed with white light, and then a terrifying airflow emerged from its abdomen.
The airflow directly shredded the Sword of the Three Realms' Judgment, heavily injuring the three Great God Kings along with it.
Swoosh—
Just then, a black and a white figure appeared before the gods.
The former Gods of Kindness and Evil, who had transformed into a mental power channel ten years ago, slowly took shape at this moment. They sensed the signs of the Divine Realm's collapse and finally revived and returned.
However, when they saw the terrifying airflow released from the abdomen of the massive creature, their expressions changed drastically.
"Space-Time Turbulence?"
Finally, the space-time turbulence released by the Star-Devouring Monster at this moment completely shattered the originally impenetrable mental power protective shield of the Divine Realm in an instant!
Pfft pfft pfft—
The gods spat blood. Their all-out efforts were actually so vulnerable in front of the Star-Devouring Monster.
"It seems the Divine Realm ends here." The God King of Evil looked at the massive aberration whistling over, his eyes dimming, and then threw the Super Divine Tool in his hand to Cui Yajie.
On the other side, the God King of Kindness similarly threw the Super Divine Tool, the Heart of Kindness, to Zhang Lexuan.
"How could we possibly fall behind those two, Little Purple and Little Green?"
The two exchanged a look, and then with a resolute posture, they met the massive Star-Devouring Monster.
The space-time turbulence swept over, and the two great God Kings' bodies and souls were completely destroyed!
Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—
The monster emitted ear-piercing mental power waves, sweeping across the entire Divine Realm. Those deities, merely being caught in it, instantly turned into a mist of blood filling the sky.
At this moment, if one looked from the outside, they could clearly see that the entire Divine Realm cracked into countless pieces!
Zhongli Yu flew back rapidly with Zhang Lexuan and Cui Yajie. They had done their utmost for the Divine Realm, but even the strongest Sword of the Three Realms' Judgment couldn't kill that monster.
The Divine Realm was finished!
