In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Gu Meng began to fantasize about himself reaching the middle sequence of light speed, the high sequence of light speed, becoming a Homelander, then becoming a god at light speed, and then proving himself a great god at light speed. After that, he would punch Yog-Sothoth, kick Azathoth, and have the universe submit to him, with dimensions at his mercy.

It was Wan Hua who shattered the evil ancestor's final fantasy.

"Master, this jade is so beautiful, it's so cute! Can you give it to me?"

Her eyes blinked brightly, and Gu Meng wanted to laugh a little. You're good-looking, but you're dreaming too.

I need this for an even bigger dungeon where I can instantly ascend to the fourth tier. I'm not giving it to you, and you can't take it from me.

"Uh... I can't give it to you. You like it to glow... I have a lot of rubies here. If you put magic into them, they can glow for a long time, just like doki doki. You've worked hard today, so you can play with it."

"Okay, okay."

"I also have a book called 'Gem Magic' here, which I'll give to you as well. Although it's not a peerless divine skill like the Tathagata Palm, it's still a treasure of a certain magic family. Practice it when you have time. You have good combat talent, so don't waste it."

"Okay, okay."

Wan Hua seemed very happy and went off to play her gem magic tricks.

Hehe, I got praised by Master today, I'm so happy.

Chiyuna glanced at Wanhua; she truly envied her mother's carefree life.

As for Chiyana herself, the weak her was already dead.

The moment she signed the pact with the Dark God of Gunara, she embarked on a path of no return, and could only rely on herself.

She was still considering whether to ask the patriarch about the Shikon Jewel fragments, but quickly gave up. That thing must be very important to the patriarch, and perhaps it was also related to the great cause of saving the world. If she interfered with the patriarch, she would become a sinner against the world, and when the end of the world came, Ashi would also die...

Since it's a fragment and incomplete, it means there are other fragments. Perhaps she should try to find the other Shikon Jewel pieces.

Did the family records mention it...? She couldn't remember. Maybe it was related to the legend of the priestess? Strange, why hadn't she heard of the Shikon Jewel before...? Maybe she hadn't paid attention.

"Master, what power does this jade possess? Could it be used to heal injuries?"

Kyoka acted as Chiyana's mouth double.

"It can help heal injuries. Moreover, the Shikon Jewel is a treasure of youkai, and many dark forces covet it. Evil creatures can use it to enhance their strength and evolve into stronger demonic bodies. Its uses are endless. In addition, it is also very useful for priestesses to enhance their spiritual power—"

Chiyuna thought to herself, 'No wonder the evil god wanted it... I wonder what happened to cause this precious jade to crack.'

"But for me, it's just something that can restore my condition. Once I'm in good condition, I can do whatever I want with my own power."

Gu Meng was simply stating a fact, yet it was so natural and convincing, a confidence born from overwhelming power.

"Tonight is just the beginning. Now that you've gotten involved, more dangers await you ahead, children. The end of the world is coming, and the forces of darkness will not give up easily."

Jinghua remained silent. Tonight's battle was already very dangerous, and this was only the beginning... He had to find a way to quickly improve his strength and also help the ancestor recover.

The Shikon Jewel, is it...? Let's mobilize the Shirakawa family's resources and do our best to search for it, as well as other ancient artifacts.

Jinghua remembers that the Shihouin family also possesses a secret treasure passed down through generations. According to her mentor, the Shihouin family was also an extraordinary family in ancient times, perhaps...

Gu Meng wanted them to think this way: these genuine fantasies are the most convenient resource. Even if they only find ordinary items, if they firmly believe that they are extraordinary items, Gu Meng can find a way to transform them.

Moreover, as descendants of extraordinary beings and newly born extraordinary beings in this world of absolute demons, what they are diligently searching for is probably the real deal.

He would never be like Kaito Kid, stealing from one episode to another. If it weren't for the time-bending worldview of Detective Conan, he would still have no achievements even at his advanced age.

"Ancestor, can you really fight against the apocalypse? What force will destroy the world? What are the signs of the apocalypse?"

Shirakawa Ryoden couldn't imagine that kind of power; even if all the nuclear missiles were launched, at most they would destroy the ecological environment suitable for human survival, and would not have much impact on the Earth itself.

Gu Meng recalled his past life, the final moment of which shocked him. His eyes were vacant, and he remained silent for a long time before giving a response:

"The end of the world... When the stars return to their places, chaos will rise from the earth, and the great beginning will awaken... That will be the end of the world."

"As for whether it can withstand the apocalypse..."

To be honest, Gu Meng wasn't confident. Even someone as strong as Oman could only try to delay.

As for the empire's collective ascension, Gu Meng could only conclude that the ascension power of the Immortal Path was unique, and that the strong could shatter the void and ascend even to immortality, or that the Far Eastern Emperor was stronger than Oman. In short, the Tree of Life system could never break through the limitations and take so many people away.

Even if Gu Meng had more time in his previous life, he would have truly become a complete tenth-tier being.

And give him some more time and resources to recuperate, break through the first level of the tenth rank that is required to be qualified to rule the Void World, surpass the ancestor Adam, and use the forbidden power of the positive and negative Tree of Life, plus the dark power of the Ancestral Pen, to leap another level above God and obtain power comparable to the second level of God, the Infinite World—this is the ideal state. In reality, Gu Meng is only half a tenth rank and has not surpassed the Void World.

Even in his ideal state, Void Gu Meng would probably be no match for Ultraman in a one-on-one fight, who was already infinitely close to that indescribable greatness at his peak.

It was because he reached the summit and saw the incomplete corpse of Oman that Gu Meng knew how strong he was. He was already close to the third level. Only then did he understand what kind of ultimate power the great beings above, the true gods of the three worlds, possessed.

The gap between an ordinary tenth-tier being and a great being is greater than that between a first-tier and a tenth-tier being. The complete state that a normal tenth-tier being can reach through time cultivation is only the first level of the Tree of Life system, the [Void World]. The path beyond that requires one's own effort to walk.

However, Gu Meng's will still led him to an answer:

"When the end of the world comes, I will take action."

He paused, then added, "Don't overthink it, we'll win."

……

A moment of silence fell over the room. Gu Meng didn't waste any time and began to lay the groundwork for the next step of the plan:

"As the apocalypse draws near and darkness returns, I can sense some old friends stirring. Muzan is just a mindless appetizer. Let me guess, our next enemy will be..."

Gu Meng looked around and found that after returning home, Shirakawa Manka had organized her rare "Yu-Gi-Oh!" cards—"Yu-Gi-Oh!" is a parallel world version of the same name.

"Our next enemy should be the great evil god Zorc."

"Zok Nelofa is an ancient dark god who ruled the underworld. In ancient Egypt, he attempted to rule the world with the Millennium Artifacts, but was sealed away by Pharaoh Atum, the god of the human world. As someone who was also sealed away, he is now taking advantage of this opportunity to be resurrected. It is said that he is countered by the power of Harakti, the god of light, but the god of light has long since departed from the world..."

"Why are evil gods resurrected while righteous gods are far from the world?" Jinghua was a little confused.

"Because the destruction of the world is the trend of the times, this end is already destined, and the gods are powerless to change it. What I want to do now is not chosen by the gods, but I decided to become the savior myself. If there were no light, I would be the only light."
