Let’s rewind time back a bit.
As Gu Qing Shan was hiding in the ship’s wreckage and got summoned by Chen Wang.
On another side.
Outside of the Strife Zones.
The world of the Spire.
An unprecedentedly tragic battle was coming to its end.
Oom——-
At the far end of the earth, the giant spire that connected heaven and earth was crashing down.
The Old Gods’ Tower of Knowledge was destroyed!
A sharp, high-pitched female voice echoed across the entire world: 『 Living beings created by the Gods, you have no idea what true despair really is? 』
A frenzied male voice continued: 「 Your only value is the nutrients hidden in your souls!? 」
A hyper-pitched, extremely high decibel chanting voice came from a unified voice between the male and female voices: 『 「 Souls! Sacrifice your souls to me, aaa————-? 」 』
With an ear-piercing screech, the monster stood at the very center of the battlefield and opened its mouth.
Every person currently locked in battle suddenly collapsed.
Their souls came out from their bodies sucked into the monster’s mouth.
Countless souls on the battlefield were flying towards the monster.
The only ones who weren’t afraid of having their souls sucked away were the people of God Institute, as the rest fell into a terrifyingly desperate situation.
Even Lord-class Combatants who were thought to be invincible in the 900 million World Layers were unable to do anything against this.
They shook off their enemies from God Institute to attack the monster with their most powerful attacks.
But none of their attacks did anything.
The monster simply stood there, unscathed as it continued to suck everyone’s souls away.
Even quite a few Lord-class Combatants were unable to resist this suction and got their souls sucked right out from their bodies, going into the monster’s mouth.
While those who could resist it fell into a different sort of danger.
With every passing second, their bodies were being attacked with an intense destructive force.
In just a few moments, their bodies will have been destroyed by the invisible power, leaving their souls no place to stay.
At that point, their souls would no longer be able to resist the monster’s suction, getting pulled in and being devoured whole.
Fewer and fewer survivors were left on the battlefield with every passing moment.
The end of the 900 million World Layers was already in sight.
All of a sudden, a deep blue light that seemed almost like an ocean covered the entire battlefield.
Under the shine of this deep blue light, everyone’s souls were suddenly let free.
The monster’s soul suction was cut off.
『「? Who! Who dares to interfere with my feast!?? 」 』
The male and female voices angrily roared in unison.
The remaining survivors on the battlefield shouted in surprise.
“Lady Darksea!”
“Lady Darksea, you’re here!”
“We’re saved!”
“Please command us in this battle!”
When she heard everyone’s voices, a deep sigh came from the endless void.
A sound quickly came into the ears of every survivor here: 「 I will bring you into the Strife Zones, as the Divine barrier that the seven Gods had set up there will soon be activated, hiding the entire Strife Zones away? 」
「 Do not leave the Strife Zones, because only the Strife Zones of the 900 million World Layers will temporarily be safe!? 」
「 You all must conserve your strength, live, and find a way to deal with it? 」
Washed by the deep blue light, a layer of ice quickly formed around the bodies of everyone here.
This ice froze all of them and then——–
The ice crystals flew upwards and vanished without a trace.
The monster silently watched as this happened.
It had attempted several times but found itself unable to stop this divine technique.
Only after it had ended did the monster look deep towards a certain place in the void of space.

The monster’s female voice laughed loudly before slowly asking: 『 Where did those people go?? 』
Silence.
No one answered her.
But the female voice sounded even more triumphant: 『 For me to not be able to stop these living beings from escaping, I presume it must be a Divinity——– how unexpected, besides those seven Gods, a Divinity still remains here that hasn’t escaped the 9.9 billion World Layers? 』
The male voice spoke excitedly: 「 If you still haven’t escaped, then your end is already set? in stone!? 」
They both roared at once: 『 「 You won’t escape, your fate has reached its end!? 」 』
Within the endless deep blue light, a female voice sighed.
She spoke: 「 Today I will die, but not by being devoured by you? 」
As she spoke, the entire world began to crumble.
…
On the other side.
All remaining Combatants were sealed inside a frozen layer of ice, quickly traversing through countless worlds to reach the Strife Zones.
The ice crystals fell like a sudden meteor shower that quickly scattered and vanished among the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones.
The meteor shower ended in just the blink of an eye.
A second later.
The figure of light slowly echoed across all worlds of the Strife Zones.
It solemnly announced:
「 Announcement: The first group of followers to light their Tree of Divinity has appeared? 」
「 The path to godhood has official opened? 」
「 The Divine barrier of the Gods will soon be activated? 」
「 The Strife Zones will be hidden away from the rest of the 900 million World Layers? 」
「 From this moment onwards, anybody who leaves the Strife Zones will no longer be able to re-enter the Strife Zones!? 」
The entire Strife Zones completely vanished from the 900 million World Layers.
No one else could find the missing 200 million World Layers anymore, losing all previous forms of traversal to and from those worlds.
At this time, inside the Strife Zones.
One of the countless frozen blocks of ice had traveled through the space vortex directly towards the world of Greyhan.
Around the ice, countless mystical divine runes appeared.
——these divine runes would ensure that the ice crystals will not be interfered with or discovered by any power.
Without a sound or warning, the ice went through the atmosphere of the world and landed in a secluded desert within Greyhan world.
The ice crystal quickly buried itself into the ground, surrounded by darkness.
A while later.
A female voice came from inside the ice.
“Blade… Edge… Pledge”
Oong!
An invisible wave spreads from this world outwards.
Inside the darkness underground.
The female voice coughed uncontrollably as if that incantation just now drained all of her powers.
After a moment of wait, she struggled to speak: “Who… is there?”
A worried voice came out.
[Are you Yun Ji? Forecaster of Calamity, lady Serena?]
This was Gu Qing Shan’s voice.
…
Time quickly passed.
Greyhan’s world.
It wasn’t morning yet, so this was currently the darkest hours of the day.
Far in the sky, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came.
A single bird dashed through the darkness, falling straight down from the sky.
Not a single bit of aura or presence came from this bird, no matter what method you tried to use to sense it, you would get the same results.
That this was a normal bird.
While flying straight down, the bird was still flapping its wings.
——-it was still attempting to fly even faster downwards.
At a certain point.
When the falling bird had almost reached the ground.
It suddenly vanished.
A man in jet black armor wearing a golden mask appeared instead.
Hovering in the sky, the man stared at the vast desert below him.
He flashed, disappeared where he stood and reappeared directly on the ground; a large distance away from before.
With a black cloth in his hand, the man’s inner sight quickly expanded and locked onto the location.
He quickly ran up and sat down in front of a sand dune.
He formed a hand seal.
Hoh!
His spirit energy manifested as an intense gust of wind that blew the sand and gravel in front of him away.
The blue ice crystal appeared in front of him.
Inside the ice was a beautiful woman who was bloodied all over, her eyes barely opened, seemingly fallen into a coma.
The wounds on her body were terrifying, her aura was also weak that you could feel that she was barely hanging onto life.
If it weren’t for the power in the blue ice constantly maintaining her vitality, she would’ve already died right there.
