478 The Final Battle

“Congratulations!”

One day, Gao Shuai, who had disappeared for a long time, came to visit with a smile on his face.

The black dog circled the infant, Chen Ji, a few times. It barked a few times, causing the baby to summon lightning to chase it away. The lightning struck the black dog’s body, causing it to be charred black at some spots.

!!
Chen Ji’s name meant continuation, which carried many people’s expectations of him, including those of Father Chen and Mother Chen. Therefore, his name was quickly decided. The truth did not disappoint. He could completely master the power of nature within a few days of being born.

Chen Yiming glanced at the black dog playing with Chen Ji and thought to himself, “This stupid dog. When he grows up in the future, when he remembers how you messed with him, you won’t just be burned a little.”

The black dog did not think much of it. With a shake of its body, its charred fur fell to the ground and new fur grew out.

It was as if he was telling Chen Ji, “Didn’t you eat? Use some strength. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Soon, after the celebratory gift was handed over, Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming went to a room to discuss serious matters.

Gao Shuai went straight to the point. He said that the technique used by the source ore shops to hide themselves away was about to be broken by the person with twin pupils, and that the Infinite Island Group was about to launch an all-out attack.

Was the person with twin pupils that powerful?

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow.

Thinking back, the person with twin pupils had been beaten by him and fallen into the space-travel distortion. He had only been able to return safely with the help of the ruler of Heaven Suppressing City.

In fact, if no one interfered, Chen Yiming was confident that he could kill the other party directly. After all, in a real life-and-death battle, his opponent would definitely not be able to last as long as him.

Gao Shuai continued, “The special power of the twin pupils is indeed able to counter all techniques for hiding oneself. In reality, the Infinite Island Group has also been paralyzing the forces of the source ore shops.”

Chen Yiming was enlightened.

It seemed that finding the location of one source ore shop was a small move that the Infinite Island Group had been forced to make.

Otherwise, they would not be able to smooth things over. After expending so much effort, they had still gained nothing. This was also to maintain the stability of the alliance of the factions under them.

On second thought, he suddenly wondered if the secret realm in the otherworld had been secretly investigated by the person with twin pupils.

If not, he should stay far away from it and erase the traces he had left behind. If it had happened, he had to think of a way to secretly move it to another spot.

Gao Shuai seemed to have seen through his thoughts and continued, “Don’t worry, even if the secret realm in the otherworld is targeted, it won’t be a big problem.”

In other words, at this critical moment, all the strength of the Infinite Island Group was being used to deal with the source ore shops. This small dispute was not worth their attention.

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. However, it was best to change the coordinates immediately. He didn’t dare to reveal any fatal weaknesses.

Of course, they had to continue maintaining Flying Sail City. If it suddenly disappeared, it would only attract more attention.

The humans from the blue planet who had left the secret realm in the otherworld would no longer be allowed to return frequently. They might even need to maintain a one-way communication with only special personnel in charge of delivering the news between both sides.

They could even get the villagers to pretend to be humans from the blue planet. In any case, the outside world would not pay much attention to them since they were in the relatively remote mountains in the far west for the time being.

Then, Gao Shuai talked about the information about the immortal factions.

It turned out that the immortal factions had not given up just because the monks from the divine temple had switched sides. Instead, they had secretly formed a closer alliance with the source ore shops and a group of forces were waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

The power of the Infinite Island Group made the factions in the source ore shops no longer dare to attack. They had the intention to let the immortal factions be cannon fodder and charge at the front. The immortal factions no longer had the attitude of looking down on others. Otherwise, if they fell again, the chaos would cause them to collapse first.

It could be said that it was Chen Yiming and the Infinite Island Group who had allowed the immortal factions and the source ore shops to truly join forces.

…

In the abandoned world, in a hollow mountain in the south mountain range, the spiritual energy turned into a crystalline form, causing the air to be filled with an extremely invasive coldness. Spiritual snakes appeared on the ground and hissed.

In the middle, an altar was trembling slightly. On the surface was a painting of stars, and the stars on it lit up one after another.

A few figures walked out of the space-travel passage and surrounded the altar. No one spoke. They each stood in a corner and watched the changes in the painting.

Soon, a black-robed man said in a cold voice, “Let’s begin!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the few of them sat cross-legged on the ground and chanted an incantation in an unknown language. All the stars in the painting lit up and floated up from the altar.

A powerful aura was growing, and the sound of drums appeared in the air. Invisible ripples spread out through the mountain and expanded towards the world outside.

At the same time, under the hollow mountain, a huge space had been opened up. The sealed mutant beasts inside began to struggle crazily.

There were thousands of them, and each of them was at the star condensation realm. Their bodies and blood essence were extremely strong, and they had been specially selected.

However, all their struggles were in vain. Almost all the mutant beasts exploded in an instant, turning into red streams of light that rose up and entered the floating painting of stars.

“Blood sacrifice to the world, thousands of stars…”

The black-robed man muttered to himself. The words were like a demonic curse that turned into a black light and rushed out into the abandoned world.

At this moment, countless people in the south mountain range were alarmed. Everyone felt that something was amiss, as if something earth-shattering was about to happen.

“Buzz…”

Soon, the ground began to shake bit by bit. Countless cracks appeared, as if the world was about to collapse.

“What happened?”

a god who was in seclusion suddenly appeared and exclaimed.

“It’s the Infinite Island Group. After accumulating power for so long, they must be serious this time.”

Seeing this development and the meaning behind it, the person immediately turned around and left, leaving the troublesome south mountain range.

The Infinite Island Group had spent several years on the pursuit without giving up, and they already knew that such a day would come. Both factions were preparing to use all kinds of methods, both openly and secretly.

Chen Yiming’s figure appeared between the mountains. He relied on the space anchor to teleport around and gather as much information as possible, waiting for the situation to develop further.

He did not intend to make a move immediately. Instead, he wanted to find out where the source ores might be hidden. He intended to make another breakthrough before returning, which would definitely be able to shock everyone.

At that time, the two factions would have fought themselves to the death, and he would be the one to benefit the most from the situation.

At the same time, on the painting of the stars which corresponded to a map of the universe,

“I heard the summons. The operation has already started. Let’s work together and make sure that the source ore shops have nowhere to hide anymore.”

On the same altar, a few blurry figures discussed the matter briefly and started to form seals.

Soon, a beam of light shot out, crossing an unknown distance of light years and heading towards the south of the abandoned world.

This was the ultimate move that the Infinite Island Group could use to deal with the source ore shops. It indiscriminately destroyed the land in the south mountain range, causing all the hidden array formations and barriers within the range to collapse.

In addition, if the hidden otherworld where the factions from the source ore shops hid themselves was still connected to the abandoned world, they would definitely fall into the space-travel distortion.

They did not hesitate to mobilize all their resources to force out the factions from the source ore shops. After all, as long as they could no longer hide themselves, it would attract even more hungry wolves.

At that time, so what if the immortal factions interfered? The situation would already have developed in a favorable direction, and the Infinite Island Group could not stop it either. It would only end after the factions from the source ore shops were completely broken up.

The Infinite Island Group was confident that they, who had made sufficient preparations in advance, would definitely be able to obtain the largest share of the loot, which was enough to make up for the resources they had used.

…

Time quickly passed by.

Just as the stars in the sky resonated with each other, in the sky above the south mountain range, strange bolts of lightning appeared one after another. It was as if a heavenly saber was being waved around freely, destroying everything in its path.

Countless blazing lights fell like meteors and countless lightning bolts struck down, as if the heavens were angry and wanted to cause a calamity.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The ground was trembling and shaking. The array formations in various areas were being pulled apart by the movements of the tectonic plates.

In the wilderness, the shadows of countless factions suddenly appeared. The array formations and barriers all relied on the positions of the heavens and the earth. If the entire ground was moving, it would naturally cause a chain reaction.

Of course, this would also cause the environment to become more and more dangerous. The aura of spatial distortion could be seen almost everywhere, and no one could predict what would come out of the space-travel distortion in the next moment.

Soon, a war broke out.

A blood-stained furnace appeared in the air. The mouth of the furnace turned around and sucked in a mountain gate and a group of people on the ground.

Then, the furnace spun and shrank, flying back into the hand of a silver-haired young man, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had set up an ambush here in advance and captured the branch of a source ore shop in one fell swoop, not giving them any chance to hide again.

In a large canyon, a creature without any flesh and blood on its body appeared. It only had its skeleton, causing a group of people who were transporting the source ores to panic.

The skeleton’s joints cracked as it walked. All the bones in its body were intact, and they emitted a golden light. In its hand was a bone saber that emitted a terrifying aura.

Almost immediately, the various hidden bases of the factions from the source ore shops were intercepted by the factions on the Infinite Island Group. Without the help of the array formations, their strength had been greatly reduced.

“Where are you going!”

The skeleton made a sound and waved its bone saber.

In the next moment, a black fog filled with the aura of death descended. Everyone was devoured by the black fog, and the canyon turned into a dead wasteland.

Not long after, the skeleton left with the source ores and many other treasures it had obtained and headed straight for its next target.

At the same time, in the south mountain range, huge beasts that could devour the heavens plowed through the ground. There were also demonic plants that had turned into black suns that soared through the sky, humans that were completely golden in color, golden-winged rocs, and so on.

Usually, the gods at the level of the star evolution realm did not appear out in the open. However, they appeared in large numbers now.

One, two, three…

Some people estimated that there might be more than a hundred existences at this level displaying their strength freely on this piece of land.

Of course, it was not all one-sided. The factions from the source ore shops, including the immortal factions, had forces of the same level to deal with them.

It was not only the gods at the star evolution realm who had come to this place. The gods at the jade star realm and the star condensation realm, whether it was the people from the Infinite Island Group or those who were not, were all unwilling to miss out on this opportunity.

As soon as the battle started, thousands of battlefields appeared.

It was too chaotic. It was impossible to differentiate the factions. In any case, there were also people who were fighting among themselves after snatching the source ores.

…

Further east of the south mountain range, the land ended and there was an endless sea.

This was the territory of the sea creatures. There were a large number of source ore mines at the bottom of the sea, and conflicts occurred even more frequently than on land. They were also hostile towards outsiders.

Even weak gods could be attacked when they crossed the sea, let alone creatures below the level of gods. If they dared to enter the endless sea, they would usually not be able to return.

Therefore, the endless sea was also known as the sea of death. It was also an extremely dangerous place.

On an island near the sea, the secret realm of the humans on the blue planet had been transferred to this island.

A human city called Sea Conqueror City had established itself there. At first, there were still sea creatures swimming around and attacking them from time to time.

Later, a divine sword charged into the sea and dyed the sea red with their blood. The sea creatures stopped their attacks and allowed the humans to catch fish and all kinds of marine creatures. The sea creatures no longer came to cause trouble for them.

Although the spiritual figure was not as powerful as his main body, with the scale and strength of the humans from the blue planet, they would not provoke someone at the level of the star evolution realm.

Therefore, with the protection of the spiritual figure, Chen Yiming didn’t have to worry about participating in the war for the source ores.

At this moment, when a world-shattering war broke out in the south mountain range, countless people stood on the cliffs of the island and looked into the distance. The world-destroying war was reflected in their eyes.

“Gasp! A huge bell appeared in the air, and the heavenly saber formed by the strange lightning was shattered.”

“I wonder how Flying Sail City is doing. Although it’s deep in the mountains, it seems to be within the range of the battlefield.”

“They’re too strong. A star fell and was actually swallowed by a spiritual creature. Could it be that Flying Sail City was razed to the ground by someone?”

“Fortunately, we are now far away from that troublesome place. That is no longer a place for humans. Everything has probably been destroyed.”

“Compared to the land, the sea is like a paradise! We’re really too lucky. We don’t have to worry about being affected at all.”

“Tsk! There are conflicts at the bottom of the sea every day. It’s just that they didn’t affect the island. Without absolute strength to suppress them, we would already have become food for the sea creatures.”

The war in the south mountain range was still ongoing, and the divine powers were fighting back and forth.

As time passed, it was no longer just the factions from the Infinite Island Group that were surrounding the source ore shops. Various unknown external factions had also joined in.

It could be said that the source ore shops that went into hiding to protect themselves were ultimately the passive side. The arrangements made by the Infinite Island Group over the years were now going according to plan.

As the people on the island watched the battle, they deeply experienced how insignificant those below the level of gods were. In a war between gods, they were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

A martial master did not even have a decisive power in the villages of the abandoned world. In a battle of gods, they were no different from blocks of tofu that would shatter at the slightest touch.

In reality, the gods at the jade star realm and the star condensation realm were not much better. In a battle of gods at this level, they needed to avoid the gods at the star evolution realm.

After all, most of the gods at the jade star realm could not fight against the gods at the star evolution realm. Even if they were from the same faction, they could easily be killed in such a chaotic battle.
