453: The circle of people is gone

“This story isn’t funny at all! It’s even a little cruel.” Memorial pouted and shook her head.

“The truth is often this cruel. There are many things in the myths and legends that have been passed down that are terrifying when you think about them closely.”

Song Zhong held the fennel stalk in his right hand, and a nine-colored flame suddenly appeared in the palm of his left hand. The flickering light of the flame danced in Song Zhong’s eyes like an excited child.

“Now, it’s time for us to put an end to this cruel story.”

Memorial looked at him curiously and asked, “Are you going to start refining Olympus’s Human Realm?”

“That’s right. I don’t think those guys would ever imagine that the toy they mocked would one day become a prison for Gods!”

The corner of Song Zhong’s mouth lifted slightly, and he nodded. The nine-colored flame in his left palm seemed to smell the most delicious food and began to stir restlessly.

“Go!”

Song Zhong uttered a single word, and the flame swiftly shot up the fennel stalk, completely enveloping it within the fire.

The fennel stalk, made of unknown Materials, did not turn to ash immediately when faced with the refining power of the nine-colored flame.

Crackle! Pop!

Under Song Zhong’s continuous Calcination, the golden fennel stalk emitted a woody cracking sound.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the fennel stalk, like a scorched piece of wood.

Seeing that the fennel stalk had developed cracks, Song Zhong unleashed his full Divine Power.

The nine-colored flame, like oil poured on fire, seeped into those cracks.

The golden fennel stalk made “bang bang” popping sounds, like firecrackers during the New Year.

Under the Calcination of the nine-colored flame, the cracks on the golden fennel stalk increased, and this Divine Artifact visibly began to shrink, curling into a ball.

As the heat gradually increased, the golden fennel stalk began to melt, the long grass stalk turning into a drop of golden liquid, forming a smooth spherical ball floating in Song Zhong’s palm.

Song Zhong let out a long breath, then took out the Black Dragon Jade Carving.

The moment the Black Dragon Jade Carving appeared, a desire to devour emanated from it.

The instant that Aura spread, everyone on the entire cruise ship felt this terrifying Aura.

“What happened? Why do I feel like something is targeting me?” a member of the Shang Xie Society said, trembling all over.

“I don’t know, but the President and Lord Song Zhong are on the deck, so there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“I really want to go up and see what happened!”

The Shang Xie Society members hiding in the cabins made wild guesses, while Memorial on the deck almost held her breath.

She knew that the Fusion of the national destinies was about to take place, and she was very curious about this process. Her desire for knowledge made her stare motionlessly at the Black Dragon Jade Carving and the golden liquid sphere.

Song Zhong concentrated fully, controlling the two to slowly approach. At this moment, the Black Dragon Jade Carving was already impatient.

Waves of mysterious black light emanated from the surface of the jade carving. The instant the two national destiny carriers approached, the Black Dragon Jade Carving suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed Olympus’s national destiny.

A burst of dazzling golden light erupted from inside the Black Dragon Jade Carving. Olympus’s national destiny, unwilling to be swallowed, struggled desperately within the Black Dragon Jade Carving’s belly.

However, at this point, the Black Dragon Jade Carving had already fused with the national destinies of Daxia, Egypt, and Norse. Olympus’s national destiny was simply not on the same level as it.

After a period of struggle, the golden light grew weaker and weaker. After a ripple in the Black Dragon Jade Carving’s abdomen, it completely swallowed Olympus’s national destiny.

Immediately after, a soft golden light slowly moved within the Black Dragon Jade Carving’s body. Those golden lights gathered on the Black Dragon Jade Carving’s left eye. Between the light and shadow, golden light flowed, and after devouring Olympus’s national destiny, this Black Dragon Jade Carving gained a few more traces of Life Qi.

...

In Daxia, above the Northwest battlefield, God King Zeus was fighting against the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning in the sky.

Zeus looked at the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning arrogantly, “I remember now, you are Ling Bao Celestial Sovereign, one of Daxia’s Three Heavenly Venerates. Hehe, what, after awakening from Reincarnation, you were ashamed to see people, so you changed your appearance?”

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning sneered, “You stray dogs can only resort to verbal taunts.”

Zeus was furious, blue electric arcs jumping between every strand of his hair.

“Good, good, good. Whether I’m just verbally taunting, we’ll find out with a test!”

With that, Zeus raised the scepter in his hand, and a violent bolt of lightning shot out from the scepter, striking towards the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

Surging blue lightning sped towards the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning raised his eyebrows slightly, and in an instant, Qingping Sword Qi soared into the sky.

Boom!

The blue lightning storm collided with the green Sword Qi, and the heavens and earth changed color.

The huge shockwave swept across the entire battlefield, forcing the other Gods who were fighting to stop and temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

The already shattered ground, under this immense impact, was torn apart like a broken carpet.

The surrounding seawater poured in along the spiderweb-like gullies. For a time, fire and water intertwined on the battlefield, and smoke filled the air.

Two violent forces were deadlocked in the sky, Zeus and the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning gritting their teeth simultaneously.

At such a critical moment, whoever retreated first would lose. Both were leaders of God Kingdoms. At this time, even if it meant fighting to the death, they absolutely could not retreat.

“Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, are you still going to persist? Don’t forget, there’s another me on the battlefield!” Zeus began to try and shake the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning’s will.

“Haha, Zeus, has your brain become muddled? In terms of numerical advantage, my mighty Daxia is above you!” The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning did not care in the slightest.

Zeus snorted, “So what? Don’t forget, you’ve been dormant for a long time, and I’ve been trying to Breakthrough to a higher level. The Zhu Xian Sword Formation is powerful, but the gap between you and me isn’t something a single sword formation can make up for.”

“Then let’s see, today, who will win?”

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning did not back down at all. Instead, he gathered all his Divine Power and poured it into the Qingping Sword.

Seeing how difficult his opponent was, Zeus also had to mobilize his Divine Power to counter the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

However, there was a hint of smugness in Zeus’s eyes. As he had just said, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, having gone through Reincarnation, was naturally at a disadvantage in terms of Divine Power. It was only a matter of time before he defeated his opponent.

It seemed the Balance of victory had already tilted in his favor.

Just as Zeus was feeling smug, his expression suddenly changed.

In the unseen, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. A crisp cracking sound entered his mind.

This insignificant sound instantly caused Zeus panic, because he knew that this sound came from his Human Realm.
