"Deity Projections?!"

White Night's expression turned solemn.

No sooner had the Game System prompt appeared.

A world-shaking roar came from the distant mountains!

The three totem poles burning with pale white flames suddenly exploded, and the flames transformed into three towering pillars of light. Within the light pillars, three blurry figures slowly emerged!

The figure on the left was entirely covered in dark green vines, its head was a twisted ancient tree, and eerie green flames flickered in its eye sockets. Every breath it took caused the surrounding giant trees to grow wildly. This was the projection of the Nature God!

The figure in the middle was composed of pure lightning, its form ethereal yet carrying the power to tear space. Billions of tiny lightning arcs swirled around its body, and everywhere it passed, even light was electrolyzed into colorful specks. This was the projection of the Lightning God!

The figure on the right wore blood-red armor and wielded a giant axe flowing with magma. Wisps of black smoke seeped from the armor's seams, and every step it took caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground. This was the projection of the War God!

Boom--!

As soon as the three Deity Projections appeared, an indescribable pressure swept across the entire scene like a tsunami.

The sky instantly darkened, space warped like water, and the energy particles in the air ran wild!

Even the thunderous aura White Night had left behind trembled slightly under the pressure.

The remaining less than ten thousand Blue Star players found it incredibly difficult to even stand.

Some were directly pressed to the ground by the pressure, their faces against the cold earth, teeth chattering uncontrollably!

Some tried to raise their weapons, only to find their arms heavy as lead. Their weapons clattered to the ground with a desperate, brittle sound... Even more simply collapsed, their pupils dilated, muttering, "Impossible..."

This was a fear originating from the depths of their souls, as if they were facing not a quest objective, but a catastrophe capable of easily crushing the entire Blue Star Civilization!

"Is this... the power of deities?"

A player's voice trembled, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Simply enduring the passive pressure had already caused cracks in his internal organs!

Just then, a pale purple bolt of lightning shot up from the crowd.

White Night's body erupted with a thunderous aura a hundred times stronger than before. Gray-black lightning spread out like boiling tide, forming a lightning domain a thousand zhang in diameter around him.

The edge of the domain collided with the pressure from the three deities, emitting a crackling sound and forming a visible energy barrier!

The deities' pressure was like a raging tide crashing against the shore, yet it could not cross the barrier by even half a step!

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The players who had been gasping for breath suddenly felt a lightness in their bodies, like drowning people finally surfacing. They gulped in air, staring at the pale purple figure blocking their path, their eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity and indescribable shock!

They gulped in air, staring at the pale purple figure blocking their path, their eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity and indescribable shock!

"Ye... God Ye!"

That terrifying pressure that had made their livers and gallbladders tremble was so easily blocked by White Night?!

Between heaven and earth.

Dark green vines, gray-black lightning, and blood-red battle aura formed a tripod-like field. The shockwaves generated by the energy collision caused the distant mountains to continuously collapse, but they were firmly locked in the center by White Night's lightning domain, not harming the players in the slightest.

"Everyone, retreat. I will take over the battlefield from here!"

White Night's voice came through the lightning domain, calm but undeniable, "All of you, exit the quest. This battle is not something you can participate in."

The players exchanged glances; no one hesitated.

They knew that they had already given their all against the high-ranking believers. Now, facing deity projections, staying would only make them a burden.

"God Bai, take care!"

Someone bowed deeply in White Night's direction, their voice trembling uncontrollably.

"We'll wait for your triumphant return on Blue Star!"

"God Bai, you must win!"

Countless shouts rose, filled with endless reverence and anticipation.

The next moment.

The players successively chose to exit the quest, and streaks of white light shot into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Before leaving, all the players looked back at the figure facing the three deities alone, deeply engraving this shocking scene into their minds!

...As the white light dissipated, only White Night and the three Deity Projections remained in the quest world.

"Insignificant mortal, how dare you interfere in the domain of deities?"

The Nature God's projection spoke first, its voice like countless vines rubbing together, harsh and sinister.

The next second.

It raised a hand and waved. The ground suddenly cracked into countless fissures, and billions of barbed thorns shot out like venomous snakes, coiling towards White Night!

Dark green venom clung to the thorns; where it dripped, even the air was corroded into black holes!

White Night's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Eternal Demon Blade drew an arc in his hand.

The next moment.

Swish--!

The dark purple blade glow swept past, and those indestructible thorns were instantly pulverized. The venom that landed on the lightning domain evaporated and dissipated like water meeting fire!

"You overestimate yourself!"

The Lightning God's projection let out a shriek. With a boom, the billions of lightning arcs around its body suddenly converged, forming a lightning spear that pierced through heaven and earth.

The spear, carrying the power to annihilate everything, shot fiercely towards White Night. Where it passed, space was torn open, leaving a black trajectory with lingering lightning arcs at its edges!

White Night lightly tapped his foot, leaving an afterimage behind, and simultaneously swung his blade in a backhand strike.

Gray-black lightning condensed into a giant hand at the tip of the blade glow. The giant hand grasped the lightning spear and squeezed it forcefully!

"Crack!"

The spear, imbued with the Lightning God's divine power, was actually crushed to pieces!

"Interesting."

The War God's projection also moved, its blood-red giant axe cleaving down with mountain-splitting force. The magma on the axe blade transformed into a blood-red fire dragon, opening its huge maw to bite at White Night's head.

This axe strike contained the pure Law of Destruction, shaking even White Night's lightning domain violently, and the lightning at the domain's edge showed signs of dissipating!

White Night's eyes sharpened. He fully mobilized the power within his body, no longer holding back.

The Thunder Law within him operated at full capacity, and the dark purple and golden patterns on the Eternal Demon Blade lit up completely. The blade body surged to a thousand zhang long, and a primal thunder shadow could vaguely be seen within the blade glow!

"Thunder Judgment!"

The thousand-zhang blade glow, carrying the power to shatter laws, collided with the blood-red giant axe.

"Boom--!"

The two terrifying forces exploded, forming an energy storm ten thousand zhang in diameter!

In the center of the storm, the Nature God's vines were shredded, the Lightning God's lightning arcs were scattered, and a clear crack appeared on the War God's giant axe!

The three Deity Projections simultaneously retreated a hundred zhang, and for the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in their eyes as they gazed at White Night.

White Night floated in the center of the storm, his robes flapping, a cold smirk on his lips: "Come on, let me see the power of deities."

Before his words finished, the three Deity Projections attacked simultaneously.

The Nature God's vines transformed into a cage, the Lightning God's lightning arcs wove into an electric net, and the War God's giant axe cleaved out magma tides. The three formed a perfect synergy, sealing all of White Night's escape routes, their offensive power a hundred times more terrifying than their combined previous attacks!

But White Night's figure became increasingly blurred amidst the onslaught.

At times, he transformed into a pale purple lightning bolt, weaving through the gaps in the vines and electric net.

At times, he condensed a giant lightning hand, directly clashing with the War God's giant axe.

At times, he swung a blade glow imbued with the power of laws, precisely striking the weak points of the three Deity Projections!

Rumble--!

Rumble rumble--!

Heaven and earth trembled violently, as if it were the end of days. The entire quest world had now completely become a stage for the collision of lightning and divine power!

Gray-black lightning continuously collided, annihilated, and regenerated with dark green vines, purple-golden lightning arcs, and blood-red magma. Each collision made heaven and earth tremble, as if the entire world was on the verge of collapse!

White Night fought one against three, yet showed no signs of decline.

His Thunder Law circulated rapidly during the battle, even continuously devouring the scattered divine power of the three Deity Projections. His blade glow became brighter and brighter, and his aura grew stronger and stronger!

"This is... the power of the Thunder Law? How is that possible! You are clearly not a divine rank..." The Nature God's projection uttered in disbelief, its vine attack momentarily stagnating.

White Night seized this opening, his blade glow flashing, instantly striking the Nature God's projection's vine body.

"Pfft!"

Dark green sap splattered, and the Nature God's projection's form instantly shrank by thirty percent, its aura clearly weakening.

At the same time, the attacks from the Lightning God and War God arrived one after another.

But White Night was already prepared. His lightning domain suddenly contracted, concentrating all its power at one point, and he forcibly withstood these two Heavy Strikes!

"Bang bang!"

After two loud bangs, White Night's figure retreated dozens of zhang, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

But the fighting intent in his eyes grew even more intense. He wiped away the blood from his mouth and tightened his grip on the Eternal Demon Blade.

The next instant, a faint glow flickered around him, and the Healing Aura instantly restored his lost health.

"Continue, the game has just begun."
