Chapter 282 The Star-Devouring Demon God! In all the heavens and myriad realms, survival of the fittest prevails!

Lin Yi seemed to understand something.

The ancient humans he encountered on the ninth and eighth floors.

These should be the tribes left behind by this human emperor, scattered throughout the Nine Provinces to continue the human race's flame.

No wonder those tribes were all soldiers, working day and night to refine the Wild God Bone Plates.

The purpose was to build the Heavenly Gate and seal off the Earthly Abyss.

"Half a million people united, and it only took ten years!"

"That heavenly gate rises from the mouth of the abyss!"

"I was full of vigor and ambition back then."

"After the Heavenly Gate was built, he even intended to lead 100,000 elite troops into the Abyss and slaughter all the Desolate Gods there."

"To leave a peaceful path for our human race for generations to come."

"No longer need to suffer the calamity of the desolate god."

Lin Yi was also deeply moved upon hearing this.

These are the big shots who founded schools of thought and created history.

They all indeed shared a grand ambition—

May peace be created for all eternity!

Of course, Lin Yi knew that the outcome was destined to be failure.

"Everything is going very smoothly."

"We ventured deep into the abyss, as if we had entered another vast world!"

“We saw countless extraterrestrial beings who, like us, suffered greatly from the torment of the Wild Gods.”

"Or rather, they themselves are the source of the Aragami."

"And my human race of the Nine Provinces is but a drop in the ocean of this vast world."

"I cannot express the despair I felt at that time."

"I want to slaughter all the gods of the wilderness, but how can I, a mere 100,000 humans, possibly wipe out all the living beings in this vast world?"

"But we can no longer return to Kyushu."

"It was our last obsession that made us kill the gods whenever we saw them. I had thought that I would just die in this endless slaughter."

"But we have offended a true Great Demon God."

The old man's voice lowered.

The illusion before Lin Yi's eyes suddenly changed.

The abyss spewed out black and red demonic energy.

The Heavenly Gate, which stretches across the entire northern region of Kyushu, blocks the way for the Desolate God.

It collapsed in an instant.

Then, Lin Yi saw a giant hand made entirely of pitch-black matter.

The giant hand crushed all 100,000 elite troops who had plunged into the abyss.

However, he did not choose to kill the Human Emperor, who was now burdened with hundreds of divine runes.

The giant hand reached out from the abyss and, as the Human Emperor lay severely injured and unable to move, shattered the entire Primordial Heavenly Gate with a single palm strike.

Then, the dark, deep giant hand retracted back into the abyss and disappeared without a trace.

"For the next hundred years."

"I was completely devastated."

"Like walking corpses, silently waiting for death before the shattered Heavenly Gate of the Abyss."

"Unfortunately, by then, I was already old enough that I wouldn't die even if I didn't eat, drink, or sleep."

"And those wild gods that rushed out of the abyss couldn't do anything to me either."

"I named the owner of that giant black hand 'Star Devourer'."

"That is a powerful being from the Great Thousand Worlds who has already entered the next realm of Dao Integration, or the ultimate realm after that."

"When I saw him in the Abyss, he was absorbing the essence of a large world that was even larger than the Nine Provinces World and had even more powerful beings."

"A hundred years from now, there are still many things I can't understand."

"First of all, that Star Devouring Demon God could kill 100,000 of my clansmen with a flick of his finger. If he wanted to kill me, it would be an easy task for him as well, but he didn't kill me."

"Furthermore, when he descended upon Kyushu, he only destroyed the Heavenly Gate, but did not devour or destroy this world."

"I revisited the land of China, ascended to the moon in the heavens, and explored the wonders of the five oceans."

"Finally, I gradually came to understand everything."

As the old man finished speaking, Lin Yi also saw an illusion.

The deep, dark seabed.

Here live countless slender silver fish, whose mouths open and close, swallowing countless plankton.

Then, a larger predator swallowed the entire group of slender silverfish whole.

Swimming to deeper waters.

In the deeper darkness, another enormous tentacle reached out, grabbed the predator, and put it into its mouth.

"All things are subject to the frost-covered sky, and survival of the fittest prevails."

"This should also apply to the wider world."

“I understand why the Star-Devouring Demon God didn’t kill me, why he didn’t destroy the Nine Provinces.” “Because at that time, I and the Nine Provinces were not worthy.”

"If his existence is equivalent to an eight-armed monster in the sea, then Kyushu is at best just a barren land in the seabed."

"And I, and my 100,000 kin, are nothing more than mayflies in the vast ocean."

"He didn't kill me because he wanted me to continue to strengthen this world."

"Use Kyushu to support those medium-sized worlds that are stronger than Kyushu."

"Then, those stronger medium-sized worlds will also be swallowed up by the large worlds."

"Finally, it was these top-tier powerhouses who roamed the world and dominated the vast universe who swallowed the ripe and sweet fruit."

"It becomes nourishment for me to continue to become stronger."

"It's laughable that I call myself the Human Emperor, wasting a hundred years, yet I haven't understood this most basic, ubiquitous principle."

Lin Yi was equally stunned after hearing this.

This principle, when taught to him by the old and frail emperor, was far easier to grasp than if he had figured it out himself.

"Get the Martial Soul as soon as possible, then go to Jiangyuan."

This was the advice Cheng Xiao gave herself.

"Power does not disappear, it only shifts."

This is the third law of the laws spoken by the old emperor.

"It seems you've figured it out too."

"Strength and cultivation are not things that can be cultivated..."

"It was stolen!"

"The so-called Great Dao has long been divided up in this universe, and people do not compete or fight for it, but instead cultivate in seclusion."

In the end, we'll only be at their mercy!

"After understanding this, I am extremely grateful that the Abyss appeared in the Nine Provinces world."

Without this gateway to other worlds, how can we find a way out of this predicament?

Lin Yi heard this.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Yup!

The same is true for the Blue Star world.

Although the invasion of Jiangyuan has been over for an unknown period of time.

But he had never heard the higher-ups say anything about completely sealing off the Jiangyuan World.

To block and suppress it.

It seems that this is the underlying reason.

Without the Abyss, Blue Star could not have continued to grow stronger.

But continuing to grow stronger is also equivalent to accelerating the process of becoming a "ripe fruit".

Perhaps in the end they will still be harvested by those demons.

But weighing the two, it is definitely better to continue to become stronger than to close oneself off.

As for how to break this deadlock...

Where is the solution?
Lin Yi suddenly felt a headache coming on.

The ancient emperor and countless war gods could never have imagined this.

"I couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock, so I forged four stone towers from the four relatively intact fragments of the broken Heavenly Gate and scattered them in the four directions of the entire continent of Kyushu."

"I will separate myself from the cycle of reincarnation and never enter the cycle of reincarnation again."

"Divide my soul into four parts to guard the last level of each stone tower, and wait for the future humans of my race to come and obtain the power of the divine runes."

"Man from the future, now I will teach you the method of imprinting divine runes. Are you willing?"

The old man finished speaking.

A notification also came to Lin Yi's mind.

[Have you gained a new ability: Martial Soul?]

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Martial Soul...

Divine runes...

Were we originally one?!

Yes, the ancient human race also sealed the soul of the Wild God into their own bodies and borrowed its power.

This is exactly the same as the essence of a martial spirit.

Lin Yi bowed deeply to the old emperor: "Please teach me."

"I'm still not sure how to address you?"

The old man chuckled softly: "My name is no longer important, but if you insist on knowing..."

"Then you shall call me the First Ancestor Haotian."

Please vote for me! And please give me your monthly tickets!
