141: Chapter 141 The Reason for Risking Divinity: The 10,000-meter Floating Island is Complete!

By having Su Daji use her sorcery to control the Necromancer God Lord, he—this goddess—was forced to sign the "Master-Servant Agreement" with Xu Xuan.

The Necromancer God Lord, filled with humiliation and surrounded by a host of divine generals like Grand Preceptor Wen, Yang Jian, and Su Daji, painfully signed the humiliating agreement.

At this moment, the Necromancer God Lord had been captured, and the system began to announce the news of victory.

[Chessboard of the Gods Bulletin: Human Lord Xu Xuan has occupied the majority of the areas on the chessboard, captured the opponent's god, and has become the winner of this Chessboard of the Gods.]

[Human Lord Xu Xuan has won the stake of this battle—the Necromancer Divinity.]

The divinity had fallen into his hands?

Xu Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but deep down, his heart was already in turmoil.

With the divinity in his hands, wouldn't he be invincible on the Lord Continent?

However, there are restrictions imposed by the chess law, so he would have to wait and see how things played out.

Once the system announced the victory, there was essentially no suspense left.

[Please cease all killing on both sides and exit the chessboard.]

Following that cold pronouncement from the supreme will, the soldiers who were still engaged in battle slowly came to a halt.

A second ago, it was a fight to the death; now, there was no point in continuing to slaughter one another.

Accompanied by the ringing of bells on the Floating Island, the various generals led their legions back in triumph from all directions.

Under the gaze of the gods in the sky and the global lords, the Floating Island moved slowly, leaving this world through the portal at the edge of the chessboard.

During the evacuation, Xu Xuan looked at the Necromancer God Lord, whose face was ashen.

He finally asked the question that had been on his mind: "I am very curious. As a God Lord, why did you bet your divinity and risk your life against me?"

Looking at the goddess with long black hair before him, Xu Xuan was deeply curious as to why he would perform such an heaven-defying act as betting his divinity.

Any normal god would never use their own divinity as a stake, right?

The Necromancer God Lord, head bowed, remained silent. Now that his true form had been exposed and he had been captured by Xu Xuan in the guise of a goddess, he felt worse than if he had been killed.

It was more painful than death. He was completely dejected, like rotten wood, listless and lifeless.

Seeing that the Necromancer God Lord would not speak, Xu Xuan snapped his fingers: "I command you as your master: answer me!"

The Necromancer God Lord, who had been stubborn, began to tremble under the influence of the master-servant law.

Although he still wanted to remain stubborn and resist the law.

But...

Even the Supreme Gods have to obey the law; what qualifications does a goddess who has lost his divinity have to resist it?

He felt as if his entire body were being bitten by snakes and insects, and his soul felt as though it were being pierced by thousands of silver needles.

The agonizing pain made him tremble all over. This dual torture of body and soul forced him to speak.

"I... I will speak."

Seeing that he was finally willing to speak, Xu Xuan snapped his fingers, ceasing the punishment.

After resting for a moment, the Necromancer God Lord reluctantly recounted the story.

"Have you ever heard of the world's decay and collapse?"

The moment the goddess opened his mouth, he said this. Xu Xuan, having watched many movies and read many novels, naturally understood.

"I have. Every world will eventually turn from prosperity to decline and ultimately perish."

Take our Earth, for example.

The sun will one day burn out, collapse, and explode, eventually swallowing all the planets in the entire solar system.

In other words, all the traces left by humans on Earth will eventually vanish, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Ultimately, the world where humans have lived for generations will return to heat death.

When heat death arrives.

At that time, all stars will lose their radiance, the universe will fall into darkness, devoid of any energy fluctuations, and everything will return to silence.

Close your eyes and imagine: the whole world has lost its light and temperature; there is no wind, no light, and no heat—the entire world has fallen into a pool of stagnant water.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Xuan looked at the Necromancer God Lord.

"Are you saying that your Necromancer Kingdom will be destroyed?"

The God Lord replied expressionlessly: "Not just us, but your human race, the demon race, the ghost race, the insect race—the worlds of all races are collapsing."

"All races want to rush into the Lord Continent. This is the world's final Noah's Ark. Only the races that can board this continent can survive the universe's heat death."

When the Necromancer God Lord said this, Xu Xuan finally understood.

Why all races were competing for the Lord Continent, scrambling to get in, and willing to bet their divinity.

If what the Necromancer God Lord said was true, all worlds would enter a period of decline.

In terms that we Earthlings can understand, it means the decline of Spiritual Qi and the destruction of the world.

And the Earth where humans live had lost its Spiritual Qi many years ago.

After clearing his thoughts, Xu Xuan also understood why the gods in the sky were so desperate to enter the Lord Continent and seize living space.

Although this was somewhat shocking—countless worlds falling into extinction, and everyone having to squeeze onto the Lord Continent to compete for the right to survive.

After digesting this for a long time, Xu Xuan accepted the fact.

In other words... he could never return to Earth; the outside world was collapsing, destroying itself, and returning to silence.

But he didn't have time to be sad now. Since he knew this fact and couldn't change it, he might as well look forward to the rewards he was about to receive.

He saw the portal in front of the Floating Island open, and the entire island passed through it, disappearing from the Chessboard of the Gods.

The space in front of him distorted, and his vision blurred.

It felt like an unfinished oil painting, with blurry shades of blue and green dividing the sky and the earth.

Once his vision cleared, Xu Xuan took a deep breath of the fresh air on the Lord Continent. Ah, wonderful!

Inside the Chessboard of the Gods, there were endless corpses, and the air he breathed was foul.

Looking at the land that belonged to him—green, with mountains and water—it was much more comfortable living on the Lord Continent.

Below the Floating Island, this entire area in front of him essentially belonged to Xu Xuan's land, managed by his vassals.

He raised his hand and muttered: "Check rewards!"

He saw a virtual big screen pop up.

[Congratulations on capturing the Necromancer Supreme God with a mortal body!]

[The divine general card reward has been multiplied by 5; you have received 5 divine general cards from random eras.]

[In this battle, you killed 10 divine general-level lords. For each divine general-level lord, the Floating Island diameter expands by 100 meters, for a total expansion of 1,000 meters!]

[Because you achieved an epic victory, the 1,000-meter increase is multiplied by five; your Floating Island diameter expands by 5,000 meters.]

[Your Floating Island has expanded from a diameter of 6,330 meters to a diameter of 11,330 meters.]

[Congratulations, your Floating Island diameter exceeds 10,000 meters, unlocking the second stage of Floating Island technology!]

[You won the Chessboard of the Gods war and obtained the Necromancer God Lord's divinity.]

[You won the Chessboard of the Gods war and received 10,000 intermediate spirit mines as a reward (Note: Your spirit mines are sufficient to upgrade to the next Spiritual Qi Recovery era.)]

[Detecting that you have a divinity in your hand, you can unlock a brand-new function for the Floating Island.]

The dense list of rewards dazzled Xu Xuan's eyes.
