176: Ending, ending

The Five-Colored Dragon Gods wanted to flee, but the God of Karma Fire gave Them no chance to escape.

Now, Karma Fire Venerable was dead, Red Dragon Lord was dead, and most of the Gods from the Five-Colored Dragon World and Ye Huo World had perished. What was present were supposedly two factions, but in reality, there were three.

And the strongest faction present was the Dust World Sect's five "Gods." They had eliminated God Lin Chen (questionable), who could kill Karma Fire Venerable, and Red Dragon Lord, whose combat power reached that of a Mid-Level God. They also conveniently took the lives of ten Five-Colored Dragon Gods.

Although thirty Gods remained in the Ye Huo World, They knew very well that the future of the Ye Huo World would inevitably be dominated by the Dust World Sect. Even if They combined their strength, They could not be a match for Liǔ Báizhǐ and the two others who had annihilated Red Dragon Lord and "God Lin Chen."

Therefore, to ensure that They could continue to live in the Ye Huo World and preserve Their lives after the war, They could not let go of the remaining Five-Colored Dragon Gods. They needed to prove Their worth with the lives of the Five-Colored Dragon Gods.

Moreover, by this point in the battle, the Gods present had more or less sensed something amiss: the casualties on both sides were too great. How could Gods die so easily, especially powerful ones like Karma Fire Venerable and Red Dragon Lord? Their deaths were too understated.

It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything. They had the answer in Their hearts, but dared not speak it, nor dared to have any opinions about the five individuals from the Dust World Sect who were fighting.

With the God of Karma Fire holding back the Five-Colored Dragon Gods, Liǔ Báizhǐ and the two others' capture operation went very smoothly. It didn't take long for them to capture twenty Five-Colored Dragon Gods, seal Their cultivation, and imprison Them.

The thirty surviving Gods of the Ye Huo World were very well-behaved at this moment. They quietly stayed to the side, silently healing Their wounds, occasionally casting subtle glances at Liǔ Báizhǐ and the two others, who seemingly suppressed the Five-Colored Dragon Gods but were actually monitoring Them.

At this time, Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen also suppressed ten Five-Colored Dragon Gods, returned to the present world, and came to Liǔ Báizhǐ and the two others, silently watching the quiet Gods of Karma Fire.

The outcome of this war was already very clear.

The God War had ended, and the world's victor had been decided. The low-end battlefield was merely a dispensable overtime, not important, and did not need to stop; it could continue as is.

High in the sky, God Lin Chen felt a chill down his spine.

"Tsk, an unexpected turn still occurred!"

God Lin Chen completely drained Red Dragon Lord's cultivation, leaving behind a lifeless divine corpse. At this moment, he sensed a terrifying presence casting a curious gaze upon him.

Now he was in a state of bad luck. Originally, after interrupting the sacrifice, Red Dragon Lord, a mere Lower God in cultivation, should not have attracted the attention of the Five-Colored Dragon Mother.

But the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, for the first time, cast her gaze, curiously wanting to observe what had happened, which could be understood as a sudden impulse.

However, Lin Chen also had backing. The Five-Colored Dragon Mother's gaze was blocked by the Human Race Foundation Level, and the only connection between them was severed. The Five-Colored Dragon Mother also lost the opportunity to continue casting her gaze upon Lin Chen.

The Five-Colored Dragon Mother's attention was merely an accident; it would only make God Lin Chen remembered by the Five-Colored Dragon Mother. Perhaps they would meet in some public area in the future, continuing today's events.

However, this accident was just an accident and would not affect the upcoming plan.

Everything was already destined.

The fate of the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World was sealed the moment Lin Chen arrived.

Carrying Red Dragon Lord's divine corpse, God Lin Chen left silently. His mission was complete, and the subsequent matters would naturally be handled by Faith Lin Chen, who was stationed in the Ye Huo World.

That's right, Mirror Lin Chen also chose to return to the Federation with God Lin Chen to cultivate in seclusion. His stay in the Ye Huo World would not bring him any benefits.

The divine status of the God of the Mortal World belonged to Faith Lin Chen. His presence here would instead cause the convergence of bad luck, which would be detrimental to Faith Lin Chen's subsequent unification of the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World.

Before God Lin Chen and the other left, they conveniently took away the thirty captured Five-Colored Dragon Gods. As invaders, They naturally could not live, and Their arrangements were certainly well-considered.

The Five-Colored Dragon Gods' cultivation would be used to nurture Dao Oblivion Sprouts, and Their souls would be used to cultivate the Human Sovereign Banner.

The remaining physical bodies could be divided into various God-tier materials, and the flesh and blood without material value could also be eaten.

The Five-Colored Dragon Race was not a humanoid species; using them as food ingredients was naturally very suitable.

Finally, the Dragon Crystal, where energy converged, was a top-grade energy source with wide applications, very suitable for Lin Chen's main body to use when Ascension to God and accumulating divinity.

The captured Five-Colored Dragon Gods were arranged clearly and thoroughly, with no waste whatsoever; every inch of their bones, blood, and souls had a purpose.

Regarding resource utilization, the impoverished Human Race dared not waste a single bit, after all, waste was shameful.

The surviving Gods of Karma Fire watched Mirror Lin Chen take away the thirty captured Five-Colored Dragon Gods, knowing that it was now their turn to be dealt with. Their fate would depend on the attitude of that "God of the Mortal World."

"Everyone, please sign this contract, otherwise I won't feel at ease with you."

Faith Lin Chen pulled out a contract that had already been prepared.

The Gods of Karma Fire could not be completely annihilated; after all, they still needed Them to control the entire Ye Huo World, stabilize the situation in the Ye Huo World, and allow the Dust World Sect to expand in an orderly manner.

The Dust World Sect was ultimately an external force. To peacefully occupy the Ye Huo World, the native Gods of Karma Fire still needed to put in effort; otherwise, the subsequent expansion of the Dust World Sect would only be accompanied by one war after another, and what would be consumed would only be the origin of the Ye Huo World.

Looking at the contract, the thirty Gods of Karma Fire exchanged glances, all silent, with no one stepping forward. They were all observing, not even daring to look at the content of the contract.

"Tsk, the contract is a legitimate contract. After signing it, you will be battle gods specializing in combat for the Dust World Sect. Your duty is to provide military support for the Dust World Sect's expansion, and the only price you pay is the loss of freedom."

"But you can live and grow with the Dust World Sect. In the future, you won't be limited to this small Ye Huo World. The cosmos, the myriad worlds, that is your future."

Faith Lin Chen intended to subdue these Gods of Karma Fire. If They refused to cooperate, he would have no choice but to kill them. At most, it would be a bit more troublesome to re-cultivate some Gods native to the Ye Huo World who voluntarily joined the Dust World Sect.

After all, with the resources of two Lower God-level grand worlds, the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World, it was not difficult to quickly cultivate a few Lower Gods.

Just like now, the war between the two worlds had only begun for more than two months, and both the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World had seen the emergence of a group of Sons of the Era, born in response to the times.

These Sons of the Era were the product of the struggles of the two worlds' consciousnesses. They were the future powerhouses favored by the origin during the collision of the two worlds. To cultivate them, one only needed to let nature take its course, select the luckiest among them, and easily cultivate a few weak Lower Gods.

Faith Lin Chen had said this much, and the thirty Gods of Karma Fire had made Their choice.

They stepped forward without any hesitation, honestly took the contract in front of them, and without even looking, left Their true spirit aura in it, tore off a wisp of Their soul, mixed it with divinity, and left an imprint on the contract.

Thus, the contract was established.

The Gods of Karma Fire also learned the content of the contract. The terms were quite harsh, but the core content was only one: no betrayal of the Dust World Sect, no infringement of the Federal Human Race's interests by any means, and being bound to the Dust World Sect's chariot for life, until death.

With the contract signed, it was now a win-win situation. Faith Lin Chen was a good boss; he would not excessively exploit the Gods of Karma Fire. They surrendered quite readily, so benefits and treatment would be arranged if possible.

Thus, the Ye Huo World, at the high-end level, had been ruled by Faith Lin Chen. Now, it only needed to develop the Dust World Sect step by step and update its doctrines to incorporate all races into the faith system.

Initially, the Dust World Sect could only be forced to take the Human Race of Ye Huo as its believers, at most covering the Subhuman Race, and could not yet connect with the faith of all sentient beings.

But now there was no such concern. As long as it was a sentient being, capable of thought and possessing a certain level of wisdom, it could believe in the God of the Mortal World and offer its faith to the God of the Mortal World.

Of course, the faith of foreign races was more complex, and the faith poison contained within it was even more terrifying, but this did not affect anything. The faith poison would naturally be digested by Essence Lin Chen, the God of Transcending Karma.

The war in the low- and mid-level battlefields of the Ye Huo World and the Five-Colored Dragon World would not end in a short time. After all, both sides had already started fighting, and it would take at least several decades to thoroughly consume a wave of their existing forces.

This was also a good time for the Dust World Sect to expand and preach to all beings.

Only through suffering can ultimate faith be forged.
