271: Chapter 271 The Power of All Beings' Wishes, Faith Ignites

The 17th second after the Lord of the Divine Ruins dissipated.

The ruins of Chaos Valley fell into an eerie silence.

It was not the silence of a battle ending.

It was the silence of "near-death."

17,000 Awakened from reality lay in pools of blood.

Their HP was all at 1 point.

Their bodies were all trembling.

But they all had their eyes open.

Looking at the sky.

Looking at those two rifts that were retreating.

Lin Ye stood in the center of the ruins.

Behind him were 20,000 soldiers of the Ten Thousand Races Covenant.

In front of him were 17,000 Awakened who had just killed a Supreme.

Above his head were the two rifts that were slowly closing.

The 18th second.

The voice of the Lord of Reincarnation came from the rift.

"Level 85 human."

"You killed the God Ruins."

"But you think this is over?"

Lin Ye did not speak.

"There is still me and the Undying Mountain," the Lord of Reincarnation continued.

"We still have 160% HP."

"And you?"

"17,000 people near death."

"20,000 people severely injured."

"What else can you use to fight?"

Lin Ye smiled.

The smile was very faint.

Very light.

"Level 250," Lin Ye said.

"You are right."

"We cannot fight anymore."

The Lord of Reincarnation was silent.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was ferocious.

"Then wait for death," he said.

"7 days later, we will come again."

"By then, all of you—will die."

The rifts closed.

The 19th second.

Chaos Valley fell into a deathly silence.

Only the sound of the wind.

Only the sound of blood flowing.

Only the sound of 19,000 near-death breaths.

Lin Ye stood where he was.

He looked at the two rifts that had disappeared.

3 seconds.

He knelt down.

He knelt in the pool of blood.

Bowing his head.

No one saw his expression.

The 20th second.

A faint light shone from behind him.

Not a gray light.

It was a "golden light."

He turned around.

Seeing the 17,000 Awakened, who were glowing.

It was not them glowing.

It was something on their bodies that was glowing.

Looking toward the sky.

Some came from in-game NPCs.

Li Ruoyu stood at the edge of Chaos Valley, hands pressed together, eyes closed.

Elder Supreme Ji Wuming knelt in the Central Prefecture Imperial City, forehead touching the ground.

The 31st second.

Golden flames rose from above Chaos Valley.

It turned into a huge pillar of fire with a diameter of 1,700 meters.

Shooting into the sky.

Piercing through the clouds.

Piercing through the Void Realm.

Piercing through the two rifts that were closing.

The 32nd second.

From deep within the rift, the scream of the Lord of Reincarnation came.

"Ah——!!!"

"What is this?! What is this fire?!"

The 33rd second.

The Lord of Undying Mountain was also screaming.

"My body... is burning!"

"It won't go out! It won't go out!"

The 34th second.

Two Supremes stumbled out of the rift.

They stood above Chaos Valley.

On their bodies, golden flames were burning.

They struggled frantically.

The reincarnation disk spun frantically, trying to extinguish the flames.

The Undying body ran frantically, trying to restore HP.

But it was useless.

The flames were still burning.

HP was still dropping.

The 35th second.

The Lord of Reincarnation looked at Lin Ye.

Looking at that human kneeling in the pool of blood.

Looking at those Awakened who were glowing.

Looking at those golden points of light pouring in from all directions.

3 seconds.

In his eyes, for the first time, despair appeared.

"Faith..." he muttered.

"Power of All Sentient Beings Wishes..."

"You... how is it possible..."

Lin Ye stood up.

He raised his head.

Looking at the two Supremes wrapped in golden flames.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was very cold.

"Level 250," Lin Ye said.

"170 million Power Of Will."

"28 minutes."

"Enough to burn you to death."

The 36th second.

The Lord of Reincarnation turned around.

Rushing toward the rift.

But the golden flames followed him.

No matter where he fled.

The flames were there.

The 37th second.

The Lord of Undying Mountain also fled.

Also caught up by the flames.

The Lord of Undying Mountain turned to ash amidst screams.

The golden flames transferred from him to the Lord of Reincarnation.

The 841st second.

Lord of Reincarnation HP: 9.7% → 9.6% → 9.5%...

He looked at the place where the Undying Mountain dissipated.

Looking at that ball of golden flames.

Looking at that human standing in the pool of blood.

3 seconds.

He knelt down.

"I surrender," the Lord of Reincarnation said.

"Spare my life."

Lin Ye looked at him.

Looking at this level 250 Supreme.

Looking at this demon who had devoured countless living beings for 470,000 years.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

The smile was very cold.

"Surrender?" Lin Ye said.

"Those living beings you devoured, did you ask them?"

The Lord of Reincarnation was silent.

The 900th second.

His HP dropped to zero.

All dead.

The 901st second.

The golden flames slowly extinguished.

Power of All Sentient Beings Wishes: 170 million → 0.

On the ruins of Chaos Valley, 19,000 near-death breaths simultaneously let out a long sigh.

Lin Ye stood where he was.

He looked at the sky.

Looking at the two rifts that had dissipated.

Looking at those two piles of ash.

3 seconds.

He smiled.

"28 minutes," he said.

"2 Supremes."

"Worth it."
