410: The Eighth Civilization - World Trial Settlement

As the Heavenly Dao, Lu Chen could have originally chosen not to kill Chi Yao and instead brought her out directly.

However, doing so would mean all the rewards from the civilization settlement would have to be split equally among the survivors.

That would be too much of a loss.

Therefore, Lu Chen had to kill Chi Yao.

Because Chi Yao missed Lu Chen so much, she actually built a mine cave identical to the original Nine Heavens, then put on the tattered clothes she wore when she was a Red Slave, and spent her days curled up inside, whispering Lu Chen's name.

Lu Chen raised his hand, intending to kill Chi Yao and let her die without pain, but looking at her lovesick expression, he ultimately could not bring himself to do it.

After all, Lu Chen had spent ten whole years with Chi Yao, experiencing so many romantic and beautiful things.

On this day, while Chi Yao was whispering Lu Chen's name, she suddenly felt a warmth against her chest—a burning hot body.

Chi Yao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Lu, Brother Lu Chen! It's you! It's really you!!"

Lu Chen smiled and wiped away Chi Yao's excited tears: "It's me, it's me."

Chi Yao hugged Lu Chen tightly, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear. Two hundred years, two whole hundred years, and Lu Chen had finally appeared again.

Chi Yao could no longer hold back; she transformed all the longing of these two hundred years into tenderness, lingering over Lu Chen's forehead, ears, neck, and hands...

For seven whole days and nights, the two were inseparable.

In the end, exhausted, Chi Yao lay in Lu Chen's arms and fell asleep.

Lu Chen kissed Chi Yao's forehead one last time, then gently tapped with his fingertip: "We will meet again in the next life."

A beam of white light pierced through Chi Yao's body. In painless, blissful embrace, she transformed into a red fire meteor and flew toward the sky.

Finally, all the emotional ties in the Small World were resolved.

Lu Chen no longer hesitated; with a leap, he soared straight to the peak of the Nine Heavens.

He did not use the authority of the Heavenly Dao, but purely unleashed the Origin power of his own God King Realm—the super-dimensional energy condensed after experiencing four hundred years of the Mortal World and devouring ten thousand Laws.

In his palm, a spiral mass of energy began to rotate. At first, it was like a firefly, then instantly transformed into a Scorching Sun, and subsequently expanded into a black hole that devoured light.

It roared silently, distorting space, and even time shattered into sand at its edges.

In Lingxiao Heaven, a million Immortals looked up, fear rising like a tide.

"What is that?!"

"It looks like a person... How familiar!"

"It's the man of the Red Emperor from two hundred years ago! He's back?!"

Countless Saint Immortal Old Ancestors broke out of seclusion, white-haired and elderly, kneeling in the air and shouting: "Senior, calm your anger! We do not know where our Immortal Realm has offended you? We are willing to offer our ten-thousand-year foundation, only begging for a glimmer of survival!"

However, as soon as they flew into mid-air, without even a scream, their bodies disintegrated inch by inch, their Divine Souls annihilated, turning into flying ash that drifted away with the wind.

Before a God King, Saint Immortal, Heaven-Reaching, Golden Immortal... every Realm was like an ant, no different.

Lu Chen's gaze was calm, without joy or sorrow.

He suddenly pressed his hands downward—

The ten-thousand-foot energy vortex crashed down with a boom, like a hammer of divine punishment, smashing toward Lingxiao Hall!

Rumble—!!!

The First Heaven, collapsed!

Jade steps shattered, Immortal palaces collapsed, and a million Immortal soldiers were torn into spatial dust before the thought of escaping could even arise.

The Second Heaven, cracked!

Spiritual Veins were severed, the galaxy flooded back, and hidden old monsters turned into blood mist while in seclusion.

The Third to the Ninth Heavens exploded in succession, like nine stars bursting one after another, the flames of light shooting into the sky, illuminating the heavens as if it were day, only to quickly return to dead silence.

Immediately after, the Spirit Realm shattered, and billions of living beings turned into void once again;

The Blood Realm boiled, and the Blood Demons were strangled by the turbulent flow of Laws;

The Void Realm collapsed, and the Nightmare clans lost consciousness amidst their screams...

Some knelt on the ground praying to the gods, others hugged their loved ones, tears streaming down their faces...

Rumble!

In the end, the entire trial world turned into a mass of spatial turbulence and fragments!!

This was the first time Lu Chen had destroyed a world using his own power.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ling's semi-transparent body appeared, creating brilliant fireworks, and the settlement screen appeared, providing full emotional value.

"Congratulations, Master, you have destroyed the entire world. Next, I will conduct the World Destruction Settlement for you!!"

No, it should be more than this!! There are still trial rewards and bonuses not calculated.

Sure enough, Ling said with a smile: "That's right, Master, I haven't calculated them yet!!"

[Master completed the trial mission, obtained trial reward: + 1 million heavenly dao energy]

In addition, there is [1: Reached God King Realm, exceeded completion, reward bonus + 1000%]

Awesome! Truly fucking awesome!!

It's like the First Emperor of Qin getting struck by lightning! Won big!!

It added a full 25 million heavenly dao energy!! You have to know the last civilization settlement was only 500,000!!

Although Lu Chen's Heavenly Dao Rank had already reached the maximum level of ten, and heavenly dao energy could not level it up, Lu Chen believed that as long as he created another high status level world and broke through the limit, his Heavenly Dao Rank would definitely break through the limit as well.

Moreover, heavenly dao energy is actually a high-dimensional energy. In the future, Ling's performance upgrades, super-dimensional technology research, and Lu Chen's cultivation will all use heavenly dao energy, so naturally, the more, the better.

Lu Chen gained so much from this trial, not just heavenly dao energy.

His state of mind and approach to the world were greatly tempered, and for the first time, Lu Chen cultivated completely from scratch, gaining a brand-new understanding of cultivation, the world, and the Universe.

Even if he returned to Earth in reality, Lu Chen would not give up cultivation; he would continue to Cultivate along the path he had experienced. After all, the heavenly dao system was only created by someone else; only when he himself was truly strong could he control everything!!

Everything was over; the dust had settled.

Lu Chen could finally leave this Small World.

Lu Chen directly tore open the destroyed Small World, ripped open a world rift, and flew out!!
