111: Chapter 111 The Holy Son "Passes Away," the Evil God Opens His Eyes

The video uploaded by Lin Xue was like a nuclear bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up gigantic waves across the global internet.

Meanwhile, within Tianqiong City, the 'Drowsiness' Domain, originating from the Law of Karma and forcing all things to stay in bed, was slowly receding like the tide.

"Mmm... How did I fall asleep?"

"What happened? Where are the Vicious Beasts? Did we win?"

Amidst the ruins, the surviving heroes and citizens woke up in confusion. They rubbed their eyes, looking at the devastating yet bizarrely harmonious scene around them, falling into deep self-doubt.

A Saber-toothed Tiger yawned, rolled over, used the leg of a Dragon Shield soldier lying next to it as a pillow, and continued snoring.

The soldier woke up, looked down, thought for a moment, then lay back down to continue sleeping.

Fighting was tiring; sleeping was so much better.

Everyone's attention was soon drawn to the figure in white robes sitting cross-legged atop the ruins.

The Saint of the Guixu Cult, Ji Changsheng.

He slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were no longer filled with the previous lifelessness and indifference, but were instead brimming with unprecedented clarity and tranquility, as if having shed all vanity to finally see his true nature.

He smiled.

That smile was like a spring breeze melting the snow, bringing a touch of 'humanity' to his peerlessly handsome face for the first time.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

He murmured to himself, his voice filled with the joy of great enlightenment.

"I have seen the 'Dao'."

"The true 'Dao'."

He stood up and bowed deeply toward the direction where Gu Fan was.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the grace of 'enlightenment'."

This bow was utterly sincere.

The 'Destruction Dao Heart' within him had completely shattered during the clash with Gu Fan's 'Great Dao of Lying Flat', but on the ruins, he had established a new understanding.

Zhao Zhengyang and the other powerhouses watched him warily, unsure what trick this Devil Head was up to now.

Ji Changsheng ignored them. He knew his time was short. He looked across the entire city, using the last of his strength to transmit his voice into the mind of every awakened living being.

"Guixu was wrong."

His voice carried a trace of relief and apology.

"What we worship is not some supreme God. It is merely a Cosmic Parasite that feeds on 'Malice', 'Chaos', and 'Destruction'—the Darkness of the World Devourer!

"Every summoning is a feeding. Every act of destruction is strengthening its power!"

This earth-shattering secret left the minds of everyone who heard it completely blank.

"Although this ritual failed, the descent of the Cosmic Hamster, and..."

Ji Changsheng paused, his tone laced with awe, "...the immense fluctuation of the Law of Karma triggered by that Fellow Daoist, have jointly formed an unprecedented super 'Beacon'!

"Our world's coordinates have been completely exposed in the Dark Forest of the Universe!"

"It... is coming!"

As soon as his words fell, Ji Changsheng's body began to transform into countless golden motes of light, slowly dissipating starting from his feet.

He used his final existence to issue a last warning to the world he had nearly destroyed.

"That is all I could do."

Before the light spots completely vanished, he once again bowed remotely toward Gu Fan's direction.

"Fellow Daoist, we shall never meet again. May your 'Dao' be able to protect this tranquility."

The wind blew, and atop the ruins, the Saint was no more.

It was as if he had never existed.

Simultaneously.

At Tianqiong War God Academy, Dormitory 404.

Gu Fan looked dissatisfiedly at the hot pot on the table, which had long gone cold, the ingredients soaking until they turned white.

"Sigh, it's hard to have a meal."

He sighed and threw down his chopsticks.

Almost at the exact same instant.

Beyond Blue Star, in the distant deep space that could not be measured in light-years.

A region of darkness vaster than the entire Milky Way galaxy lay motionless, like a slumbering ancient god.

Suddenly.

In the center of this darkness, a galaxy-sized giant eye, composed of pure dark matter and warped spacetime, slowly opened.

A voice, neither male nor female, neither old nor young, sounding as if it were a mixture of the laments and dead silence of billions of Universes, resounded in a higher dimension.

"An... interesting 'Karma Singularity'...."

"A delicacy... never before tasted."

"Vwoom—!"

On Blue Star, across the entire world, all mental-type Ability Users, and all powerhouses whose cultivation had reached the Martial Emperor Realm or above, simultaneously felt a heavy blow to their minds and spat out a mouthful of blood!

A terrifying illusion was forcibly branded deep within their Souls.

It was a vibrant planet being swallowed whole by an indescribable giant shadow, with the planet's final scream turning into the shadow's satisfied chewing sound.

All top-level crisis alarms across the globe were sounded at that moment!

The piercing alarm echoed through every Alliance sector, every city, every corner.

For the first time, humanity felt the ultimate malice from the Universe so clearly!

Inside Dormitory 404.

In Gu Fan's mind, the System panel issued its final, and most frantic, blood-red warning.

[Warning! World-Ending Level - Cosmic Disaster Level Malice Detected Locking Onto This World!]

[Estimated Arrival Time: Very Soon.]

[Friendly Suggestion: Eat more, it’s better for the road.]

Gu Fan stared at the System prompt, momentarily stunned.

He sighed, quietly stood up, and took out another large pile of fresh fatty beef rolls, tripe, and shrimp paste from the refrigerator.

"How can I hit the road if I’m not full?"

"Then... I'll eat one more meal."

Outside the window, the doomsday alarms blared across the sky.

Inside the window, there was only the 'gurgling' accompaniment sound of the hot pot broth being reheated.
