Chapter 679 - 379: The Curtain Falls (Double Release)
[Under the workings of the world’s rules, souls are cast into the Realm of Death after life ends, entrusted to Shalira, the representation of the Power of Death, for purification and reshaping.]
[The existence of the Tree of Death serves as both an anchor point and a significant tool to aid Shalira in simplifying this process.]
[Yet now, the sky, earth, and sea have begun this dreadful war, shaking and shattering the three foundational parts of the world, causing life to wither, and even the weak divine beings face peril.]
[Even after death, if one does not quickly enter the Realm of Death, the soul itself might be affected and completely obliterated.]
[Thus, countless souls, whether strong or weak, are rushing to enter the Realm of Death.]
[Such an enormous number has long exceeded what the Tree of Death can bear.]
[The souls of divine beings, unable to be effectively constrained, even killed the guiding Soul Gatherer, igniting chaos here.]
["After devouring you all, I will slaughter Death itself, then I shall return to the world!"]
[Within the Realm of Death, a divine being roars madly, the massive soul devours many weak ones, while also fighting against other divine souls.]
[Even in their demise, their souls remain restless, attempting to seize the chaotic moment to kill Shalira as well.]
[You feel anger rising within, a surge to annihilate these malicious divine souls.]
[But soon, you calm down.]
[Compared to these chaotic divine souls, you have more crucial matters to attend to... helping Shalira maintain clarity and sanity!]
[You clearly see Shalira above the Tree of Death, eyes shut tight, absorbing the remnants of countless souls, seemingly enduring something.]
[He is enduring the backlash from soul purification!]
[As the embodiment of the Power of Death, when purifying souls, some souls resist, unleashing their pain and memories.]
[Normally, Shalira would digest and gradually extinguish them.]
[But the emergence of the Tree of Death has replaced his role in this process.]
[Yet under current circumstances, even with both the Tree of Death and him simultaneously purifying souls, it is still insufficient.]
[Absorbing such a quantity of pain and memories in a short time, especially from powerful divine beings, even Shalira risks losing sanity.]
[Seeing this, you do not hesitate for a moment, releasing the power of the Authority of Dreams, acting upon Shalira to maintain sufficient clarity and sanity.]
["I’m sorry, I can’t help Senavia; once the Realm of Death collapses, the boundary between life and death will be lost, making the world even more chaotic."]
["I give you my power, go find Rein, he will ascend to the sky with you."]
[Shalira has entrusted the Power of Death to you, a force that can lead even a divine body to "death," irrecoverably.]
[Shalira has his duty, and you have more important matters to attend to.]
[After leaving some power to keep Shalira clear-headed, you quickly depart.]
[You arrive at the City of Calamity.]
[The scene here gives you a chill.]
[Outside the City of Calamity, lay numerous fallen divine bodies, as if violently torn apart by a great force.]
[Rein is surrounded by thunderstorms, tsunamis and storms roar around him, with a mere gesture, divine blood splatters and wails arise.]
["Rein! You madman! I have never provoked you!" a divine being asked angrily.]
["Without the resolve to resist the sky, then kneel before calamity."]
["Such a display of cowardice, unworthy of being a god." Rein’s voice was cold and resolute, thunderclouds interweave, storms converge, and one after another, the remnants of divine bodies fall.]
[You clearly see Rein destroy one divine anchor after another, tightly gripping their Authority Power, consolidating it within himself.]
[And notably, Rein’s power seems to contain some mysterious black force.]
[Anxious and suspicious, you quickly step forward, staring at Rein, questioning why he would do such a thing while also secretly alert and ready to act at any time.]
[Your purpose in seeking Rein is to have him ascend to the sky with you, to attack the Sun God Kingdom, and destroy Oromtar’s anchor.]
[But at this moment, Rein, much like those divine beings seduced by Oromtar, begins to devour some divine powers.]
[Such a Rein clearly cannot be trusted.]
[If Rein has indeed fallen, then you will have to go to the Sun God Kingdom alone.]
[However, Rein did not appear as crazed as you imagined, he seemed to retain enough clarity.]
["Let’s go, to the sky." Rein’s tone is very calm, looking at the scorching sun in the sky.]
[You are full of confusion and remain wary; you don’t understand why Rein has become like this.]
[To this, Rein replies calmly: "Senavia will provide the answer, once all of this ends."]
[You suppress your doubt, accompany Rein to the sky with caution.]
[Whether it’s Shalira or Senavia, they seemingly trust Rein enough, suggesting he has a reason for his actions.]
[Soon, you proceed towards the sky.]
[At this moment, the sky is distorted, under the manifestation of Oromtar’s power, appearing even more oppressive, as if it wants to crush all life into powder.]
[The closer you get to the Sun God Kingdom in the sky, the more you feel endless heat and pressure.]
