Chapter 1343 Let everything return to nothingness

August 2nd, the material world.

After the Nine Paths of Ascension were completed, in the endless night where the sun, moon, and eternity had all fallen... someone once again initiated the Ring of Reunion ritual.

The one who was pulled down this time was the creator of the "Tail Ring" ritual, the chief celestial master of the tenth path "Stillness", the Tail Ring Celestial Master, the Infinite Celestial Master - the Ring Celestial Master [Tail Serpent] who is revered as the "Tail Ring".

Descend to the material world from the Spirit Tower!

A crimson circular gate appeared directly above the Spirit Tower.

That enormous red ring was like a sun with its heart ripped out, barely illuminating the dark sky in this eternal night devoid of light.

For this reason, people from all directions cast curious or worried glances at us.

Because in the very next moment...

With a crackling sound like popping beans, the bright red round joints burst apart!
Like a snake with its scales bursting open, like a spine, like glass shattering in summer—

This is a ring crafted from the spines of Yuan Tiansi and Lingbo Tiansi.

Under the control of an extremely twisted and monstrous force, the spine, which was connected end to end to form a ring, was torn apart and twisted little by little.

Like bending an iron ring, it broke and twisted under everyone's gaze, eventually turning into an "∞" symbol.

Once the red outer layer fades, its interior shimmers with an extremely brilliant deep purple, its texture resembling crystal. The red outer shell still clinging to the amethyst looks like residual bloodstains.

That boundless, surging power surged and flowed, dyeing the entire pitch-black sky a brilliant purple. It was like a giant purple flower slowly blooming, and the intricate veins of its petals could almost be seen within the curling sky.

A human figure gradually materialized, hovering above the twisted ring.

He looked so small... that from a distance, he was just a tiny black dot that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

If the purple, twisted ring looked as big as a bracelet, and the spirit tower below it looked like a candle, then He himself looked no bigger than a sesame seed.

Even if one cannot see His appearance clearly, one can feel His terrifying pressure clearly from tens of kilometers away.

God’s power is like a prison.

If you get a little closer, you can see that He is standing quietly in the sky, shirtless.

He did not exude any Daoist aura, nor did he radiate any extraordinary light; he looked just like an ordinary person.

No ordinary person possesses such magnanimity, nor can any ordinary person stand out from nothing without relying on any power!
The Celestial Being's long hair, which had turned from black to pale white, was tied into a ponytail that reached his thighs. His hands were in his pockets, and his upper body had clearly defined, bulging muscles, making him look like a sculpture.

His appearance was much more rugged than Aiwas's, with extremely defined lines. From his neck to his shoulders and arms, there were clearly visible veins and tendons, except for the muscles on his chest and abdomen, which were hard and white like armor.

It has jet-black scales on its earlobes, collarbone, chin, forehead, and the back of its hands, but its tail has disappeared.

This is undoubtedly the body of a young man in his twenties or thirties, full of explosive power and the unique vitality of youth.

However, whether it was his indifferent, icy, deathly yellow pupils, his dull white hair, or his marble-like white muscles, he gave the impression of an old man.

—It was as if He were not a young man with white hair, but an old man with a muscular physique.

On His chest, between the muscles, were intricate and ancient black runes that formed a sun symbol that extended down to His back.

There is a purple ∞ symbol on each of the shoulder blades, which is shining with light.

It looks like a severed wing of light, or the base of a wing.

The Celestial Observatory stood there in this world, without making any move.

He was just breathing deeply.

With arms outstretched, it's as if feeling the energy of heaven and earth... or perhaps just longing for the air of the material world.

Suddenly, the Celestial Chief raised his right hand.

His body arched forward... or rather, his head naturally tilted back, maintaining this posture as if he would lose his balance and fall at any moment.

The celestial astronaut points to the sky with his right hand and to the earth with his left.

Purple "flowers" suddenly bloomed, their eerie purple color spreading rapidly across the skies worldwide. Meanwhile, a deathly darkness swept across the land, swallowing up all sound.

"Let everything return to nothingness."

Huan Tiansi chanted in a clear and ethereal voice that only he could hear.

In an instant, the sky suddenly cracked open and the earth boiled and melted.

The crimson sky twisted and melted, merging with the pitch-black earth to form a terrifying, viscous, purplish-black vortex. The sky and earth were like scrambled coffee latte art, collapsing and dissolving... The center of the vortex rested on the right index finger of the Celestial Expedition, which was pointing towards the sky.

Time in the world is gradually accelerated, and the area covered by this "vortex" is gradually increasing.

From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn, time flies by so fast—

If nothing unexpected happens, it should use the power of the "Endless Knot" to accelerate time by eight days from August 2nd... to August 10th.

Eight days later, this black hole will cover the entire world.

Find "difference" in the way of "change," and thus turn this world into a void of deathly silence—if everyone is gone, then the world will naturally "stand still."

For the Whispers of the Void, which has no physical destructive power, it is actually very difficult for it to completely destroy a world.

It is necessary to attach oneself to an individual with the power to destroy the world in order to effectively guide civilization to its end.

However, if the world is not killed in one blow, it is easy to induce variables in the long process of slaughter and hunting—such as the zeroth cycle of this world.

Therefore, the Whispers of the Void were originally planned to descend upon individuals capable of becoming pillar gods.

With the power of the source river, destroy the world.

In this way, all the power of the Source River can be collected to create the only Pillar God in this destroyed world—the Pillar God of the Path of Stillness, Nothingness.

Or rather... the whispers of the void.

The tenth source river, which is also the zeroth source river.

If a universe doesn't even have "creation," then it is undoubtedly "nothingness."

Therefore, what He can devour is not only this civilization, but also the source river itself that gave birth to these two civilizations—

however……

Just when time had passed in a single day and night, this abnormally rapid acceleration suddenly came to a standstill.

It's like a videotape that's been fast-forwarding at 2x, 4x, or 16x speed, suddenly being paused.

At that point, shattered by the purplish-black vortex, reduced to a meaningless void...

Suddenly, a sliver of white light appeared at the tip of the Celestial Observer's finger.

"That is……"

The Celestial Observatory raised its head, its weary and indifferent dim yellow pupils staring at it.

His gaze pierced through the black hole and saw the object that should have been swallowed up by "meaninglessness".

That is……

"……A painting?"

"Circular Observatory" murmured.
