685: Is this kind of thing reasonable?

There was no beginning, no process, only the end.

The Heroes gathered at the entrance of the Secret Realm hadn't even shouted their passionate lines.

They were instantly obliterated by the 'Boss' that rushed out of the Secret Realm.

After a million Divine Weapons fell, Qin Yang still feared some remnants, so he activated 'Hand-Picking Heavenly Stars,' cleansing the entire plain once more.

Until the plain vanished, forming a massive basin burning with Dawn Divine Flame.

Under the high temperature of the Dawn Divine Flame, let alone Heroes, even microorganisms couldn't survive.

After slaying 100,000 protagonists, Qin Yang didn't pause for a moment, driving the Imperial Dragon Carriage onward, towards the Hall of Heroes that connected to the 100th floor.

"He's coming towards us. Is your ritual ready?"

In the Hall of Heroes, the projections of the gods watched as 100,000 Heroes vanished into thin air, yet they remained unmoved.

These individuals were originally their cultivated pawns, existing for factional War.

Now, the gods themselves were in deep trouble; how could they spare time for them?

Even more so... they had long known this was a battle of futility.

The reason for sending the Heroes to the battlefield was because the Time Elder needed to sacrifice these Hero Souls to activate a Divine Art that could strip Qin Yang from time.

At this moment, all the gods looked at the Time Elder, their eyes filled with the hope of survival.

As gods, they naturally knew the gap between Heroes and Qin Yang.

Let alone 100,000 Heroes, even a million or ten million Heroes would yield the same result.

The gap between a True God and a Demigod could not be compensated by attributes.

Moreover, only a small fraction of Heroes could reach the Demigod rank with the superposition of auras and bonds.

The vast majority of Heroes were merely at a level where a glance from Qin Yang would make them explode.

However, when they saw Qin Yang act, the gods realized that not only was there a gap between Heroes and Qin Yang... even they themselves had a huge gap with Qin Yang!

They could sense from those golden Divine Weapons and orange Divine Flames... that Qin Yang possessed more than one Divine Authority!

In the hierarchy of the Heavenly Gods, one who commanded a single Divine Authority was called a Lesser God.

They could manage at most ten worlds; beyond that, their Divine Authority would be insufficient.

And a god who commanded five or more Divine Authorities was a Greater God, above a Lesser God, capable of controlling hundreds or even more worlds!

The gods could sense that Qin Yang possessed at least five or more Divine Authorities.

How was this an invasion by an Evil God?

This was clearly a Greater God coming to claim territory!

However, the gods still didn't give up.

As long as the Time Elder could use Divine Art to send Qin Yang a thousand years into the future.

Then they would have a thousand years to grow until they could resist Qin Yang's invasion.

After all, the Heroic Divine Realm had ninety-nine layers of planes.

This land was far richer than other single-plane worlds.

However, just as the gods placed all their hope on the Time Elder, he suddenly said:

"That's not right."

"Where are the Heroes' Souls?"

"I can't sense the Heroes' Soul power!"

At this, the gods collectively froze.

So... everyone sacrificed all the Heroes they cultivated just to hear a bang?

"Time! What exactly is going on?"

The Legendary Dragon roared, "Didn't you say that as soon as the Heroes died, you could immediately freeze their Souls?"

The Time Elder, sweating profusely, said, "Of course I can freeze their Souls, but I can't sense their Souls now!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? So where did their Souls go?"

"I don't know! I'll go back and check!"

In an instant, the majestic gods were all flustered.

Good heavens.

Qin Yang is already knocking on the door with a brick, and you're still studying the progress bar?

However, the stubborn Time Elder still activated his Divine Authority.

Suddenly, the world in the gods' eyes began to reverse.

The meteorites that had impacted the ground flew back into the sky, and the golden Divine Weapons, like a torrential downpour, did the same.

Time was flowing backward.

It's just... the reversal of time couldn't erase the effects caused by Qin Yang.

The plains that had been smashed into basins by meteorites would not recover.

The dead Heroes would not reappear with the reversal of time.

However, the Time Elder still saw the reason for not being able to sense the Heroes' Souls in the backward-flowing time.

It turned out... those nearly 100,000 strands of Soul were all absorbed by a golden banner in Qin Yang's hand!

The plan to banish Qin Yang was completely ruined!

"Who leaked the secret!"

The Time Elder suddenly looked at the other gods.

The plan to sacrifice the Heroes was only known to the eight gods present.

The Time Elder had always been wary of the Radiant Goddess, so he hadn't informed her.

In other words, among the gods present, there was a traitor!

The Time Elder's suspicious gaze immediately angered the other seven gods.

The Legendary Dragon roared, "What leaked secret? It's clearly your lack of thorough consideration! How could a Divine Art that requires the sacrifice of 100,000 Souls be so easily broken!"

At these words, the other gods also joined in.

"This doesn't even require a leak; that banner appeared before. Qin Yang used it to take away the Demon Sword's Sword Soul. I thought you would have noticed that!"

"Yes, I thought your plan was foolproof, but it had such a huge flaw? Are you senile?"

"What do we do now? All the Heroes are annihilated, and they can't be resurrected. Our strength has also been affected!"

The gods spoke one after another, choking the Time Elder until his body trembled.

It wasn't that he hadn't noticed the banner in Qin Yang's hand, and he knew that the banner could collect Souls.

It's just... what could instantly collect 100,000 Souls!

Even if the God of the Netherworld came, he would have to open the gates of the Netherworld, right?

Qin Yang, however, merely moved his hand, and 100,000 Souls went to him.

Is such a thing reasonable?

However, the gods didn't care about that much.

They pushed all the blame onto the Time Elder.

This was the Heroic Divine Realm, with its special relationships between gods.

Every god was an enemy, or had once been an enemy.

Even when facing an Evil God invasion, they couldn't unite.

"Damn it! If there are no Heroes' Souls, there are still your Souls!"

"When the fighting starts, as soon as they die, I still have a chance to banish Qin Yang!"

Thinking of this, a hint of gloom flashed in the Time Elder's eyes.

And at this moment, thundering rumbles rolled in.

Qin Yang, driving nine silver Dragons, had already flown above the Hall of Heroes.

Outside, a chilling voice came: "Since you have seen a True God, why do you not bow?"
