World version update

Chapter 257 The Second Strand of World-Destroying Rules

Looking at the words that appeared before him, Lu Yan's lips trembled slightly.

"To erase what has been censored, that seems quite fitting?"

With the rules of annihilation forcibly suppressed by the Great Collapse Heavenly Dao, and having lost their last medium, the Main God completely withdrew its gaze from the Great Collapse version.

Above the sky, the enormous white sphere of light trembled slightly, and cracks appeared on its surface, like cracked ancient jade.

Then, these cracks spread rapidly, weaving into a mysterious network, with light seeping out from the gaps as if trying to break free from some kind of constraint.

The next moment, the white sphere that replaced the sun completely disintegrated, and countless principles of the Dao scattered and fell back into the world.

If any reincarnators survive this time, they will be surprised to find that they have broken free from the control of the main god, and the wristwatches on their wrists that symbolize reincarnation will lose their function.

Unfortunately, the reincarnators were either killed by Lu Yan or died from the punishment of the main god's mission. None of them survived, and none of them were able to escape the main god's space.

Lu Yan stood in the void, holding a long black and gold banner, silently watching this scene.

His face was calm, but his eyes shimmered with a complex light, as if countless stars were flowing within them—the calculation rules manifested by the small world of the underworld.

Lu Yan used the small world of the underworld to try to find out if the main god had left any other tricks up his sleeve in this realm.

Having suffered a loss at the hands of the person behind the Eternal Heaven before, Lu Yan is extremely cautious about any unique being in this world.

Amidst the interwoven drama of the stars, Lu Yan surveyed the entire realm but found no trace of the main god, which relieved him slightly.

In truth, Lu Yan harbored a deep-seated fear of the Supreme God.

Among the unique beings in this world that Lu Yan knew, the Supreme God could be considered the most special type.

The Supreme God created the Supreme God Space, selecting reincarnators to reincarnate in numerous worlds, cultivating in each world to develop their own version of the cultivation system.

In some ways, the God Realm is similar to the operating rules of world version updates.

The Supreme God, by creating worlds and simulating myriad realms, brings itself closer to the essence of version updates, a feat that even the Eternal Celestial Venerable cannot match.

For this reason, when Lu Yan learned that the Main God had intervened in the Great Collapse Realm, he prepared to attack the Main God's version fragments, and even destroyed several versions in advance to accelerate the revival of the Great Collapse Heavenly Dao.

Judging from the results, Lu Yan's choice was clearly correct.

If the main god is allowed to control the reincarnators to remain in the Great Collapse Realm, other unexpected events may occur.

Just as Lu Yan was pondering this, the sky suddenly changed again.

After the white sphere of light collapsed, the silence in the void was torn apart by a mysterious force. All sounds in the world fell silent, as if even time itself had held its breath at that moment.

Lu Yan's gaze pierced through layers of illusion, landing on the strange scene that appeared after the sphere of light shattered—a wisp of yin and yang energy swirling together.

"The rules of world destruction!" Lu Yan's voice was filled with undisguised joy, his eyes sparkling with barely suppressed excitement.

Over the past seven days, Lu Yan has repeatedly destroyed fragments of small and medium-sized version forces, but he has never seen the world-destroying rules found in versions like the Mech version and the Xianxia version.

Those destroyed version fragments merely accelerated the growth of that sliver of the world-destroying rule in their hands.

Unexpectedly, this precious rule of world destruction could be found within the version of the main god, which had no foundation to suppress it.

The Yin and Yang energies broke free from the suppression of the white sphere of light, and the great power that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years began to erupt. The swirling and intertwined Yin and Yang energies gradually manifested into a huge illusory millstone.

It rotated silently, and all things rushed toward that enormous yin-yang millstone, the destructive power crushing everything in the fragments of the version.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the edges of the fragmented version began to collapse first.

The distant mountains seemed to be torn apart like pages of paper by an invisible hand; their majestic peaks instantly turned to dust, scattering into the chaos. The earth cracked, countless ravines spreading like a spiderweb, transforming into bottomless fissures. Rivers flowed backward, water droplets suspended in the air before vanishing into nothingness.

The power of the world-destroying rules intensified, distorting and deforming the entire fragmented space, like a painting being mercilessly crumpled.

Countless tiny cracks appeared in the void, and then these cracks continued to expand, like an invisible network covering the entire sky.

The cities on the earth vanished in an instant, and the pavilions and towers disappeared like phantoms.

The myriad principles of the Dao descended from the white orb, and the core rules that had existed for tens of thousands of years in the fragments of the main god version, all vanished like bubbles under the great millstone of Yin and Yang.

Lu Yan was deeply moved. This wisp of the world-destroying rule was far more powerful than the world-destroying rule in the Intelligent City. Even the world-destroying rule that had grown in Lu Yan's hands was not as powerful as this wisp.

Lu Yan did not choose to forcibly suppress the rules of world destruction, but instead took the initiative to break away from the version fragments and quietly watched the apocalypse of the main god version fragments.

Nourished by the destruction of the world, the rules of world destruction grow ever stronger.

The heavens and earth collapsed, stars fell, and the entire version fragment disintegrated under this force. Just as the rules of world destruction were about to break through the boundaries of the version fragment and expand outward, a mysterious tremor came from the depths of the void.

Above the heavens, a golden light pierced the void, like the first ray of dawn in the eternal night. It was the order descended by the Great Collapse Heavenly Dao, containing the vast power of the Heavenly Dao, sacred and inviolable.

The golden light, like countless fine chains, entangled the world-destroying rules that were trying to expand further, firmly imprisoning them within this world.

Destroying version fragments can accelerate the awakening of the Great Collapse Heavenly Dao, which is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao in this version. However, the Heavenly Dao will not allow the rules of world destruction to expand again and affect the entire version.

Through the chaotic Heavenly Dao order before him, Lu Yan could clearly sense that the chaotic Heavenly Dao had awakened even further.

The awakening progress brought about by destroying a Ninth Heaven power is even greater than that of the ten small and medium-sized versions destroyed in the past seven days.

The world-destroying millstone, which had expanded to its limit, quickly dissipated, and the Yin and Yang energies returned to their original dormant state.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan summoned the Gate of Mysterious Female without hesitation.

The purple portal, the foundation of all laws and principles, quietly opened in the void.

Within the Gate of Mysterious Female, a faint aura remarkably similar to the Yin and Yang energies in the void flickered in and out of existence. It was the world-destroying rule that Lu Yan had suppressed for a long time, and now, sensing the power of the same origin, it was stirring restlessly.

With a gentle gesture, Lu Yan unleashed the world-destroying rules from the Gate of Mysterious Female, which began to merge with the trace of world-destroying rules within the Main God Space. The two forces, originating from the same source yet independent of each other, intertwined, unleashing a dazzling light that illuminated this devastated world.

Under this light, the world-destroying millstone manifested by the swirling Yin and Yang energies became increasingly solid, gradually transforming from an illusory concept into a tangible existence.

At this moment, within the rules of world destruction, Lu Yan sensed an ancient and pure aura, as if it had existed between heaven and earth since time immemorial, a destruction destined from the very beginning of the world's creation.

Lu Yan closed his eyes slightly as he carefully comprehended the changes within the Gate of Mysterious Female, having reintegrated this fused world-destroying rule.

A moment later, Lu Yan opened his eyes and sighed:

"not enough."

Although the rules for world destruction have made great progress at this stage, they are still unable to break through the seed of supreme divine power.

However, the world-destroying rules that appeared in the fragments of the main god version pointed Lu Yan in a new direction.

"Among the known version fragments at this stage, without exception, those that have reached the Ninth Heaven level suppress the rules of world destruction."

If more forces from the Nine Heavens version were destroyed before the Eternal Heaven's power was fully realized, it might be possible to advance to the Golden Core stage ahead of time and cultivate supreme divine abilities.

Lu Yan muttered to himself.

To fight against all the factions in the Nine Heavens version, it's definitely not possible to use direct confrontation.

Lu Yan was able to easily take over the Main God Space only because he managed to relocate most of the powerful reincarnators through the joint meeting.

If more than ten Nascent Soul experts and three Nascent Soul peak reincarnators were stationed in the Main God Space, even with Lu Yan's strength, he would have no choice but to run away. "Moreover, among the forces in the Nine Heavens version, the Main God Space is not the strongest; it can only be ranked in the middle."

The Main God Space focuses on individual strength but lacks inherited foundations. Therefore, the Seven Gods Church and the Kingdom of Gods, which have accumulated strength for tens of thousands of years, must possess even more terrifying trump cards.

After a slight pause, Lu Yan's eyes revealed a meaningful look.

"However, destroying these version fragments does not necessarily mean confronting the version forces head-on."

"The destruction of the Main God Space, if handled properly, might allow us to subdue the enemy without a fight."

"The real critical moment is yet to come."

His gaze swept over the desolate land after the restoration of order, and Lu Yan transformed into a golden rainbow and disappeared into the world.

Inside the central hall of the ruins of the Intelligent City.

The representatives of each version remained seated, their gazes fixed intently on the direction the reincarnators had departed.

"These reincarnators are truly rude; they left in a hurry before the conference was over."

"The Reincarnators have always acted independently, disregarding oaths and promises between factions, let alone a tournament destined to fail?"

"However, the faces of those reincarnators looked extremely grim, as if some misfortune had occurred."

"This is truly wonderful news!"

The representatives of the factions below whispered among themselves, making no attempt to hide their dissatisfaction with the Main God Space.

This is actually normal. In the past, the God Space was not very large and it was difficult for it to gain an advantage in the clashes between the forces of the Nine Heavens.

Furthermore, the reincarnators are selfish and self-interested, making it difficult for them to unite, which results in the God Realm occupying very few resource areas.

Over time, the resource-poor Reincarnators began to actively seek out smaller and medium-sized factions, relying on their superior strength to forcibly plunder precious resources and collect cultivation systems.

If it were only once or twice, it would be fine, but the reincarnators change every few decades, and the cultivation systems they plunder will not be passed down on their own. This leads to the fact that every time a new reincarnator arrives in the Great Collapse version, they will plunder the small and medium-sized versions.

Over time, the reputation of the reincarnators in the Main God Space naturally deteriorated.

While the representatives below were whispering amongst themselves, the seven representatives of the Nine Heavens faction at the top had solemn expressions.

They had dealt with the reincarnators in the Main God Space for many years and had a certain understanding of them, even vaguely knowing about the Main God and the reincarnation mission.

The fact that the reincarnators are in such a hurry indicates that a major problem has arisen.

Unfortunately, there is still too little time to figure out exactly what happened.

After exchanging glances, Saint Sheen of the Church of the Seven Gods spoke first:

"Since the reincarnators from the Main God Space are absent, let's set aside today's agenda for now and discuss it again after the reincarnators return, shall we?"

As soon as the words fell, on the throne of the Immortal Alliance, the Killing True Lord suddenly spoke:

"There's no need to wait for the reincarnators; they can't come now."

Upon hearing this, representatives from various factions all turned to look at the Killing True Lord.

Marquis Weiwu of the Great Yin Dynasty even asked directly, "What do you mean by that, True Lord?"

The True Lord of Slaughter remained calm, rising from his throne and gesturing with his hand:

"Welcome, Envoy Lu!"

As the words fell, the moonlight, like a waterfall, pierced through the dome of the central hall, outlining a tall and imposing figure in the air.

The blurry outline gradually solidified, revealing his body. His aura was restrained and profound, and his every move exuded a transcendent charm.

He stood in the hall, like a majestic mountain, suppressing all things, making everyone present dare not breathe.

It possessed an aura of majesty that transcended the mundane world, yet it also contained a subtle warmth, like a god or a saint, yet it was not without humanity.

"Who is this?"

Saint Sheen raised a question.

The Killing True Lord said solemnly, "This is Envoy Lu from the Underworld, representing my Immortal Alliance."

"A messenger from the underworld?"

"A messenger of ghosts and spirits from the underworld who once manifested in the mortal realm?"

"That ruler of the underworld is suspected to be a forbidden being."

"The messenger of the underworld is an unparalleled figure who once killed dozens of demigods in a fit of rage and almost forced a true god to take action."

Many powerful figures were moved.

Lu Yan's actions in the urban and post-apocalyptic versions are not limited to any one version; they have long been reflected in other versions due to the characteristics of the Unchanging Ones.

Therefore, when the Killing True Lord uttered the name of the Underworld, even those from the Nine Heavens and smaller factions had heard of it.

Lu Yan remained calm as he slowly took his seat on the throne belonging to the Immortal Alliance.

His gaze swept over the numerous representatives present, and Lu Yan said in a calm and collected voice:

"The core territory of the God Space has been completely wiped out by the Reincarnators, and the Great Collapse Realm no longer has a God Space."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.

If Lu Yan hadn't revealed his identity upon his appearance, the many representatives present would have definitely regarded him as a madman spouting nonsense.

"How can this be?"

"It's only been a few tens of minutes since the reincarnators left, how could they all have perished?"

"What exactly went wrong?"

The representatives of the Nine Heavens forces naturally did not completely believe Lu Yan's words. They began to try to contact familiar reincarnators or use deduction methods to find traces of reincarnators.

But just moments later, their faces turned deathly pale.

Neither divination nor verbal communication could pinpoint any reincarnated being.

Even the methods for tracking true spirits could not lock onto the reincarnators, as if all the reincarnators had completely disappeared from the world in just a few tens of minutes.

The top demigod of the Kingdom of Gods looked at Lu Yan with an unpleasant expression and couldn't help but ask:
"Please explain, Envoy Lu, what exactly happened?"

"The matter is very simple: a certain being destroyed the God Realm, and all reincarnators were wiped out."

Although Lu Yan did not say it explicitly, given the current situation, almost everyone immediately thought of the same name.

Eternal Heaven!
