154: Chapter 154 An Irresistible Suction!

That will-power pressure, sufficient to crush a Divine Soul, was retreating inch by inch.

Retreating a mere fraction of a millimeter, it left an eternal vacuum between heaven and earth. The invisible, towering divine mountain atop the minds of everyone previously pinned to the spot crumbled instantly.

In an instant, the stagnant Spiritual Qi flowed once more, and frozen blood regained its vitality.

Before the ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe could surge in their hearts, it was submerged by a more intense and pious emotion. It was the witnessing of a miracle, a prostrate worship of a supreme existence walking among the mortal world.

"It retreated, that will really retreated..."

A Holy Land Prodigy's eyes were vacant as he murmured.

"It's Senior Su! It's Senior's supreme Dao techniques that forced back the Upper Realm existence!"

"No, it's that Upper Realm existence... taking the initiative to retreat!"

A clamor erupted as everyone's gazes turned into the most devout incense, converging on that single white-clothed figure.

Behind him, the phenomena of Chaos opening and the Ten Thousand Daos returning to the ruins slowly circulated. Standing between the two, he was the Origin point of the Dao—unborn, undying, and unwearied by ten thousand tribulations. In the eyes of the crowd, Su Changge was no longer a mortal; he was the heavens, he was the Dao, the only deity that all living beings in this realm looked up to!

Xiao Fan knelt on both knees, half of his body already numb. He stared blankly at that figure. The last bit of pride in his Dao Heart titled "Son of Providence," along with all his struggles and unwillingness, were crushed into the most humble dust at this moment. He finally realized that between himself and Su Changge, it was the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, an ant and a true Dragon, an eternal chasm that could not be crossed even through ten thousand cycles of Reincarnation.

However, this "deity" overlooking eternity in the eyes of all living beings was the only one who knew his current situation.

"I can't hold on anymore!"

Su Changge's Divine Soul roared silently within his Sea of Consciousness.

Under that desperate activation just now, his emotion points had plummeted past the million mark like an avalanche. The red numbers constantly flickering on the panel were the final countdown of his life.

That world-shaking "push back" just now wasn't something he did intentionally. Instead, after squeezing the Great Dao Origin Dharma Eye to its limit, the two types of Dao Rhyme went out of control and collided, resulting in an energy leak. It was a magnificent accident, enough to deceive the heavens and also enough to completely bury himself.

But that Upper Realm existence clearly didn't think so.

"System, prepare to disconnect! In three breaths, turn off all special effects and flee as far as possible!"

Su Changge had made up his mind. He knew very well that voluntarily withdrawing his Qi was equivalent to exposing his back to a prehistoric beast, but it was better than running out of emotion points and letting the other party see that he was just a bluffing ant. The former still offered a slim chance of survival, while the latter meant his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Just as his Divine Thought tensed, preparing to execute this near-certain death escape plan.

Above the firmament, the emotions of that will were undergoing a terrifying transformation.

The shock and inquiry stemming from the unknown were melting away like ice and snow. An incomparably intense and pure heat rose from within.

It wasn't admiration, nor was it interest.

It was like an eternal Artifact Refining Grandmaster finally finding the Chaos Immortal Gold sufficient to forge a Divine Weapon of the Era; or like an ancient god obsessed with collecting, discovering a perfect Dao fruit containing a brand-new Dao in the dust of the desolate Universe!

It was a naked, undisguised, absolute possessiveness to completely dig out this "treasure" from its source, melt it into oneself, and claim it as one's own!

Su Changge's heart sank into a bottomless abyss.

His massive lie, which had bet everything, hadn't succeeded in scaring off the fierce dragon; instead, it had piqued the other's gluttonous ferocity.

Following that, a grand and vast fluctuation of will, indistinguishable as male or female, crossed the world barrier so clearly for the first time, booming in the depths of every living being's Soul.

"In..."

The syllable was directly branded into the Origin of the Divine Soul. Those with weaker cultivation groaned on the spot, blood overflowing from their seven orifices.

"teresting..."

With just a single word, the Laws of space wailed, and countless tiny spatial cracks flickered in and out of existence in the Void Realm.

"...ant..."

The last words fell.

Boom!

That massive black crack spanning the firmament actually expanded several times over! The edges of the crack displayed colors of Chaos that made one's Divine Soul tremble, as if connecting to another even more ancient Universe.

An unspeakable, irresistible, and terrifying force of seizure surged out from the core of the crack!

This force wasn't a gale; it didn't flutter any clothes or kick up a single grain of dust. It acted on a higher dimension, its target pinpointed with hair-raising accuracy.

Impartial and precise, it enveloped only Su Changge.

"I can move!"

Xiao Fan was the first to break free from the constraints. Ignoring the blood on the corner of his mouth, he struggled to crawl up, looking at the sky with a face full of terror.

He saw that white-clothed figure, snow-white and pure, uncontrollably floating up inch by inch toward that increasingly hideous crack in the sky!

It was as if an invisible giant hand spanning the heavens had gripped the foundation of his existence, wanting to uproot him from this world and drag him into that unknown abyss!

Everyone witnessed this scene.

Mo Wentian's face turned pale. The Spiritual Power in his body circulated subconsciously, and just as he lifted his foot, he was pinned back to the spot. His Dao Heart was frantically warning him that if he dared to take that step, that force would only need to spare one ten-thousandth of itself to erase him along with everything within a hundred-mile radius.

Go forward, and then what? Be sucked into that Chaos Void Realm together?

No one dared to move; no one could move.

They could only watch helplessly as that figure, who had just been enshrined as a deity in their hearts, was slowly and firmly dragged toward the sky by a force they could not comprehend.

At this moment, only one cold and desperate thought remained in everyone's hearts.

Senior... their only hope in this realm, their only Guardian Deity...

Was about to be snatched away by that Upper Realm existence!
