203: Chapter 203 Nagi Mi, the Demigod's Resurrection

Through his perception of the rules, Lin Chuan's will swept over those ancient existences frantically crashing against the dimensional barriers.

At the same time, his thoughts, belonging to a Middle Rank Sovereign, began to rapidly peel back the layers, analyzing the impending apocalyptic landscape.

Not all existences from the depths of the Nightmare World were crazed beings who knew only slaughter and destruction.

A portion of them were taboos, demigods, or even Fallen Gods.

They held no substantive malice toward weak life forms like humans.

Just as humans would not deliberately step on an ant by the roadside.

Some existences even selectively protected a portion of humanity to absorb faith or due to some extremely ancient contract.

But such taboos and 'deities' were, after all, only a tiny fraction!

The vast majority of existences deep within the Nightmare World were the sources of Chaos and horror!

They themselves were synonymous with malice and madness!

Their bodies were entwined with extremely distorted and intensely crazed high-dimensional rules.

Even if they did nothing, as long as their unspeakable bodies descended upon the Real World...

...the rule radiation they emitted would be enough to distort the physical Laws of reality around them!

Causing mountains and rivers to invert, rivers to dry up, and countless living beings to mutate and fall into the abyss amidst extreme pain and despair!

This was the deepest despair!

An ultimate catastrophe capable of dragging the entire Real World into endless Chaos was already irreversible!

Inside the Rebirth Temple, Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body shimmered with purple light.

"The general trend cannot be stopped; I must continue to grow stronger!!"

Buzz!!

Lin Chuan's will erupted violently as he began to frantically pour his Rule Power across the entire map of the West Continent.

He wanted to further construct his Taboo Domain Field!!

Countless rays of chaotic black light, interspersed with purple divine patterns, like a giant net covering the sky and sun, took deep root in the depths of the West Continent's ley lines.

Having completed these preliminary deployments...

...Lin Chuan's grand, cold voice of rules directly crossed endless space.

It exploded simultaneously in the deep consciousness of the Yanlong Empire's Chief Executive Xia Xuanyuan, the Shaven Empire's ruler Petrovsky, and the [taboo of sin]!

"The nightmare is coming."

"Prepare for the worst."

Just two sentences.

Yet they were like two heavy hammers, slamming violently into the hearts of these rulers!

The sliver of false peace in the Real World, brought about by Lin Chuan's deterrence, was completely torn to shreds at this moment!

An suffocating, extreme sense of tension from the impending doomsday began to permeate the air!

The high-level officials of various nations began to operate frantically, pushing all war machines to their limits.

Yanlong Empire, deep underground in the Main Base City.

The doors of the Bureau 749 Top-Secret Laboratory slowly opened.

Accompanying an extremely heavy fluctuation of rules that carried a thick, earthy stench...

...an old man less than 1.5 meters tall, with a hunched back and leaning on a withered wooden staff...

...stepped out of the dark Laboratory.

The old man's face was covered in deep wrinkles like tree bark, and his eyes were a strange deathly gray.

But his body emitted a rule-based pressure that made one's scalp tingle!

The current supreme masterpiece of the Yanlong Empire's "Deification Project".

experimental subject no. 004 was declared a success!

An artificial Sovereign forcibly stitched together from human technology and Taboo Rules!

Code name—[Earth God]!

His Terror Level reached sss rank seventh tier; he was a Low Rank Sovereign!

Looking at this old man exuding Death Qi, a flash of fanaticism and determination appeared in the eyes of Xia Xuanyuan and the others.

"Immediately launch the construction plan for experiment subject no. 005!"

Xia Xuanyuan gave the order decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"At all costs, mobilize all of the nation's top resources!"

At the same time...

...the Yanlong Empire's long-brewing "Universal Transcendent Project" finally laid its cards on the table for all citizens!

Factories and companies of the old era... were shut down one after another!!

Replacing them were countless temporarily constructed Awakening centers.

The entire state machinery was in motion, forcibly injecting every eligible citizen with diluted strange substances to compel the birth of Awakened!

While the Yanlong Empire, Shaven Empire, and even all human forces... were in tense preparation...

...an extremely bold, even insane proposal...

...was slammed onto the table of the joint conference!

The one who proposed this was the Yanlong Empire's top taboo scientist and Dr. Liu's prize student—Professor Lu Yu.

Based on the secret information provided by that Mysterious Youth carrying a broken sword...

...and after countless life-risking archaeological excavations deep into ancient ruins...

...Professor Lu Yu's team uncovered a terrifying truth enough to subvert the worldview of all humanity!

"Everyone!"

With bloodshot eyes, Professor Lu Yu roared hoarsely in front of the conference screen.

"This so-called 'Real World' we live in!"

"Including the so-called world deep within the Nightmare!"

"It's all fake! It's all one giant cage!"

"They are but a phantom dream!"

"This dream constructed the Chaos Void Realm! It constructed the four layers of domains..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire assembly was shocked.

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Professor Lu Yu threw out his ultimate plan.

"When the existences in the deepest part of the Nightmare awaken, this Chaos Void Realm will surely collapse completely, and everything will return to nothingness!"

"We cannot sit and wait for death!"

"I propose that we immediately launch the 'Escape Project'!"

"Concentrate all human technology and taboo power to create a taboo object for escape!"

"Taking our most elite citizens, carrying the last sparks of human civilization..."

...tear through this chaotic void and escape to the theoretically existing, eternal, and immortal... True Realm!!"

Escape the Chaos Void and head for the True Realm!

This insane plan, after a brief silence and heated arguments, was finally passed unanimously!

Because humanity simply had no second path to take.

To unify the resources of the entire world...

...an unprecedented global high-level joint conference was urgently convened.

The Yanlong Empire also sent its highest-level envoy to the Rebirth Temple in the West Continent to inform Lin Chuan of this shocking plan.

Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body sat on the Lotus Pedestal, surrounded by a faint purple glow.

He wasn't too surprised by this so-called "True Realm."

As early as the deepest part of that old grave in the Kunlun Ruins, he had already heard this term from the Pharaoh of The Unrotting Outer Court.

"The True Realm, is it..."

A trace of imperceptible depth flashed in Lin Chuan's Buddha Eyes.

The so-called True Realm exists only in theory!

No one knows what exactly is outside the Chaos Void Realm.

As far as Lin Chuan knew, even a Fallen God had never reached beyond the Chaos Void Realm.

He did not give a definite answer immediately.

Instead, he had Zhao Linfeng attend the joint conference as his plenipotentiary representative.

Just as the various global forces were discussing and finalizing the plan details at the conference table...

Rumble!!!

...a terrible upheaval erupted without warning over the eastern sea!

The area of the Neon Country, which was blocked by thick pink mist and regarded by the whole world as an absolute dead zone!

The originally deathly silent mist began to churn violently at this moment like boiling water!

An indescribable, terrifying aura interwoven with extreme depravity and death swept across the entire Eastern Hemisphere like a Category 12 hurricane!

The SSS-Rank Taboo—Illuminating Heaven Turbid Sun, has descended once again!

But this time, its form underwent a hair-raising transformation!

It was no longer just a simple black waning sun.

Instead, it had become three giant, eerie purple-black, overlapping unspeakable objects!

They looked like three giant eyeballs dripping with black blood.

Or like three distorted suns burning with black flames, capable of swallowing all light!

Just the tip of the iceberg of rule fluctuations emitted by those three turbid suns...

...was already enough to make the space over vast areas of the sea emit overburdened screams!

Furthermore, this taboo, which had once been heavily wounded by the Mysterious Old Man, seemed to have been repaired by some power, and its Terror Level... rose directly to s-rank eighth tier!!

And beneath those three suffocating turbid suns...

...two female figures actually stood quietly.

One of them wore ancient Neon clothing, her face exquisitely beautiful yet radiating extreme deathly silence.

That was the perfect mimetic form of the [Illuminating Heaven Turbid Sun]'s will!

As for the other woman...

...she wore a set of extremely tattered junihitoe stained with dark black blood.

Her hair was a strange pale white, dancing wildly in the air like writhing dead snakes.

Her face had no features, only an abyss emitting nauseating stench and extreme deathly Qi!

And at first glance, the woman's body seemed to be composed of petals, appearing both eerie and exquisitely beautiful!

She was, shockingly, the true source of the pink mist that shrouded the entire Neon Country!

West Continent, inside the Rebirth Temple.

Lin Chuan's Buddha Eyes trembled slightly!

For at this moment, the evolution panel deep in his consciousness issued an extremely piercing crimson alarm!

Lines of text exuding an aura of despair jumped out frantically:

[Warning! Ultimate horror individual exceeding the current dimension detected!]

[Target information analysis in progress...]

[Target: Izanami (Yin-Side Afterimage)!]

[Rank: Demigod! Absolute ruler of the Yin-Yang Domain of the Chaos Void Realm!]

[taboo sequence Number: 10!]

[Status: Awakening / Extremely unstable / Extremely crazed!]

[Description: An ancient deity who once ruled the entire territory of the Neon Country and enjoyed the worship of all its people!]

[Possesses the dual supreme authorities of "Life and Death" and "Creation and Destruction."]

[Currently, only the Yin-Side Afterimage representing 'Death' and 'Destruction' has awakened.]

[Once the 'Yang-Side' sleeping in the depths of the Nightmare also fully awakens and the two complete their rule Fusion...]

[She will directly cross the shackles of a demigod and advance to a true "Fallen God"!]

This was not the first time Lin Chuan had seen this reminder!

Back then, through Zhou Kai's perspective, Lin Chuan had seen this existence... in the Neon Country!

This existence was incredibly terrifying!

Just the Yin-Side alone was a demigod at the level of Sequence 10!

Whoosh—!!!

In the Real World.

With the appearance of Izanami's Yin-Side Afterimage...

...the pink mist that had shrouded the Neon Country for countless days and nights was like a celestial river bursting its banks.

Carrying terrifying pollution capable of corroding all rules and distorting all sanity...

...it frantically expanded toward the Dongsheng Continent across the sea, covering the sky and earth!

Wherever the mist passed, seawater instantly turned into boiling black corpse water.

Countless strange and massive marine creature skeletons floated on the sea surface.

In the sky, extremely viscous pink blood rain fell, emitting a pungent, stinking odor.

Within this sky-covering pink mist...

...the faint sounds of countless hair-raising roars and eerie laughter could be heard.

That was the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons from ancient Neon Country legends!

A hundred-zhang tall, hideously-faced Daitengu brandished a fan made of human bones.

The Wanyudo, its entire body burning with ghostly blue flames, crushed the void and emitted shrill wails.

And there were the Hone-onna and Jorogumo, pieced together from countless tragically killed female corpses...

These terrifying oddities that originally existed only in ghost stories and legends...

...had all now become Izanami's minions, invading the Real World under the spread of the pink mist.

An suffocating sense of despair and oppression shrouded the entire Real World like a dark cloud!
