Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 225 The Direction of "Now"

"Now".

The Kingdom of Aisha, once a land of magic, is also the birthplace of Longbow Wei.

However, this country has now fallen in the flames of war, and the original cities have long been ruined.

Instead, newly built fortresses stand here, a testament to the efforts of the magicians of the Kingdom of Aisha.

Within these fortresses, constructed with magic and high-strength materials, squads of fully armed mages patrolled.

Although they appeared to be fully armed and equipped with the most advanced magical artifacts from head to toe, their eyes showed no fighting spirit whatsoever.

Fear, timidity, and dread—all sorts of emotions related to being afraid of fighting can be seen in their eyes.

Senko Fortress was formerly the second largest city in the Kingdom of Aisha.

It is now one of the few remaining autonomously governed areas in the Kingdom of Aisha.

"I heard that another city was destroyed by those demons a few days ago."

One of the magicians in the patrol said in a low voice.

"Yeah, yeah, I just don't know how long we can hold out."

Another mage said with a somewhat somber expression.

"Hey, those noble lords have all taken refuge in the royal city now."

"How long can this fortress hold out now?" a mage said pessimistically.

Even the captain of this mage squad did not stop these negative comments, because that was the reality.

Those beings whom the Celestial Race called extraterrestrial demons were overwhelmingly powerful.

If they hadn't refrained from exterminating them, the Aisha Kingdom would probably have been destroyed long ago.

Even so, the Kingdom of Aisha is now on the verge of extinction, as the demons have brought a completely new power system.

This had a terrifying impact on the magic system that the Kingdom of Aisha had once had, because it was a completely new system brought about by those celestial demons.

The old magician system was far too difficult to master, and the requirements for both aptitude and time far exceeded the power system brought by these celestial demons.

According to these demons, even unleashing power comparable to forbidden magic is a piece of cake.

For this reason, many magicians who crave power or are forced into it switch to other specializations.

However, with the growth of strength comes the expansion of ambition, which is why the Aisha Kingdom is on the verge of destruction.

Before this, high-ranking mages were born nobles, and those nobles had long-standing traditions.

It also ensures that each generation of offspring will have a highly capable successor to their position.

It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to rise to prominence, but the arrival of the extraterrestrial demons has overturned all of that.

And indeed, in the eyes of these races, those ordinary people who were originally as docile as sheep have now been turned into hungry wolves by the Heavenly Demons.

As for more far-reaching and profound matters, these were beyond the comprehension of these princes and nobles.

However, today was different from usual. Although it was already night, the light was as bright as day, illuminating the entire Senko Fortress.

Several holy and powerful figures descended upon Senko Fortress as if gods had come down to earth.

Along with this came a large amount of accumulated elemental energy, which caused the mages in the fortress to bow down in worship.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, to the mortal realm."

"We respectfully request the Heavenly God to remove the scourge of the Heavenly Demon."

The mages in the fortress cheered, having already learned of the Celestials' arrival that day.

But when they actually saw the Celestials arrive, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

After all, as former noble lords, they deeply abhorred these extraterrestrial demons.

It was their arrival that disrupted the existing order, leading to their current predicament.

Now that the Protoss have arrived, order will be restored. How could they not be extremely grateful?

The leader was naturally the God of Light, Longbow Wei, and behind him were the God of War, the God of Heaven, the God of Might, the God of Thunder, the God of Wind, and a host of other gods.

Although it possesses a divine artifact bestowed by the God-King, it can only be obtained with the assistance and cooperation of five other deities.

Longbow Weicai was able to unleash power that truly approached or even surpassed that of an ordinary god-king, while Mu Zi looked at the distant world with some worry.

It seems that the arrival of a group of gods has provoked the distant extraterrestrial demons.

At this moment, a dark red flame that blotted out the sky illuminated the once pitch-black night sky.

Interspersed within that dark red flame were many other flames of various colors, so terrifying that even the God of Fire would be moved by them.

It even seemed that the spatial boundaries existing within the continent would be burned away and turned into nourishment by those flames.

Seeing this, Chang Gong Wei's expression turned somewhat solemn, because he recognized the owner of the flame.

It was one of the extraterrestrial demons that he had seen descending not long ago in the realm of gods.

However, at this moment, the extraterrestrial demon whose power was originally far inferior to his now possessed power comparable to his.

"These evil spirits truly deserve to die!" Hercules, with his violent temperament, roared.

"You dare to provoke us upon our arrival? Your Majesty, God of Light, why don't you make a move?" The more impatient Wind God also spoke up at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Chang Gong Wei nodded and said, "In that case, I would like to ask you all to lend me a hand."

"Once the six divine artifacts are fused together and preparations are complete, we can use the God-Trapping Array to fight the extraterrestrial demon head-on."

"We can also try to see if the God-Trapping Array works on these extraterrestrial demons."

Then, Longbow Wei closed his eyes slightly and began chanting the incantation bestowed by the King of Gods, activating the power of the six divine artifacts.

"The God King bestowed upon me the Armor of the God of War, which protects me from all evil and demons."

A piece of azure war god armor separated from the Holy Sword of Light in Longbow Wei's hand and then covered his entire body.

Subsequently, the divine power within the God of War seemed to connect with the Longbow of Might at this moment, further enhancing the power of the God of War armor.

"The God-King bestowed upon me the title of Heavenly God, whose cry resounds through the nine heavens."

Then a flash of white light appeared, and the Horn of the Gods separated from the Holy Sword of Light, hovering to the left of Longbow Wei's body.

The gods didn't waste any words either, and also contributed their divine power to help Longbow Vivi master and unleash the power of the Heavenly Horn more smoothly.

"The God-King bestowed upon me the Mighty Hammer, which shakes heaven and earth to protect the righteous path."

"The God-King bestowed upon me the Thunder God Shield, which can withstand ten thousand blades and is indestructible."

"The God King bestowed upon me the Wind God Bow, a swift and invisible arrow."

Then, the Hammer of Hercules, the Shield of Thor, and the Bow of the Wind God all separated and appeared around Longbow Wei, surrounding and protecting him.

At the same time, the other three great deities also lent a helping hand to Chang Gong Wei.

Even though the artifacts had not yet been fused, the aura emanating from the Longbow of Might was already comparable to that of a God-King level expert.

As Chang Kongwei recited the last incantation, the aura emanating from his body reached its peak.

"The God-King bestowed upon me the Sword of Light, whose radiance illuminates the heavens."

In that instant, the Holy Sword of Light turned silver, and then the radiance of the other five divine artifacts also rose and burned.

As the power of the six divine artifacts surged, they finally intertwined and merged together under the control of Longbow Wei.

At this moment, the aura of Longbow Wei finally stabilized, even surpassing that of the King of Gods under normal circumstances.

Blue, white, yellow, red, cyan, and gold light emanated from Chang Gong Wei's body.

Immediately, Longbow Wei pointed his Holy Sword of Light directly at the distant extraterrestrial demon.

The other five deities could no longer restrain themselves and shot out, rushing towards the extraterrestrial demon.

Through their connection with Longbow Wei and the resonance of various forces, the powers of these deities are now being enhanced in different ways.

They are all only one step away from the God-King level, demonstrating the power of the Quasi-God-King level.

It should be noted that the power of any one of their gods alone is enough to rival that of the extraterrestrial demons.

With such a disparity in strength, how could they possibly lose?

As the six deities approached, an imperceptible array appeared in the void.

The formation initially covered a very large area, but it became smaller and more solid as one got closer to the extraterrestrial demon.

Meanwhile, within that raging sea of ​​fire, the extraterrestrial demon, whose true form was obscured, stood ready for battle.

At this moment, the man was inwardly pounding with fear, thinking, "Damn, this is just too unlucky."

"I've only been in this universe for a short time, and I haven't even made back what I contributed before."

"Am I going to die here this time? My contributions, damn it."

Despite saying that, he showed no sign of backing down; on the contrary, he was full of excitement.

After all, this was a battle against a powerful opponent, protected by the Douluo Civilization's methods, and aided by the AI ​​Nan Ke.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the final result will be recorded, and the ability to simultaneously clash with six near-rule-level powerhouses will be remarkable.

The data analyzed by the AI, Nan Ke, could even be used to return to the Douluo Civilization.

That's more than enough for him to reflect on and truly clarify his own path.

After all, although this body is powerful, it was ultimately constructed by the AI ​​Nan Ke.

Rather than what he truly possesses, the fastest way to truly adapt is to clash with the strong.

But before he could even engage in combat, he saw the core figure among the six great deities.

The God of Light exuded the aura and pressure of a high-level rule-based expert.

His figure suddenly became somewhat ethereal, and then vanished on the spot, while the other five deities seemed unaware of this.

They ignored the fact that the God-Trapping Array had already shown its flaws due to the lack of its core, and that its strength was constantly returning to normal.

Continuing to charge towards the overwhelming sea of ​​fire, the warrior of the Douluo civilization did not think much of it upon seeing this.

After all, compared to the desperate situation he had just faced, the current battle was more to his liking, and he still had the strength to fight back.

Regardless of the final outcome, at least he doesn't have to worry about the loss of contribution from self-destructing back.

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods, the King of Gods looked at the few remaining remnants of souls in his hands and sighed.

Longbow Wei died in battle against the Demon King's clone, but was saved by the intervention of the King of Gods.

With the help of the God of Light, it has been nurtured and healed, and although it has recovered most of its health, it has not yet fully recovered.

At this moment, the Demon King looked at the heavily injured and dying Longbow Wei, who was now only a wisp of his soul, with a look of horror on his face. He finally realized how terrifying 'time' was.

He also understood why the King of Gods was willing to swallow his pride and beg for his help, even when facing his mortal enemy and mortal foe.

After all, apart from the two powerful individuals who possessed the rank of God-King, no one else was aware of this bizarre scene.

"Old man, leave it to me with peace of mind. Now go do what you need to do." The Demon King took the remnant soul of Chang Gong Wei with a somewhat uncertain expression on his face.

He spoke to the King of Gods before him, who had already revealed his determination and begun to ignite the flame of his own life.

Although for a God-King level powerhouse, burning the flame of life does not necessarily mean true death.

However, for the King of Gods, who now has a resolute will, death is inevitable.

From within the King of Gods, the flickering flames of life began to emanate outwards.

It then gradually spread throughout the entire divine realm, permeating the entire realm, and at the same time, all the celestial beings felt an inexplicable sadness.

All the celestial beings who remained in the divine realm knelt on one knee, paying homage to the central temple.

They knew that their leader, the king of the gods, had sacrificed his life at this very moment.

Subsequently, as the divine power of the King of Gods permeated the court, it was as if a seed had been planted in these celestial beings.

This includes the remnant soul of the longbow in the Demon King's hand, and even the divine power nurtured by the King of Gods.

The long-dormant remnant soul of Longbow Vena, which had been struggling to recover, was finally fully restored at this moment, and his divine body was reshaped.

At this moment, two completely different memories and histories appeared simultaneously in the minds of all the Celestials, which made them feel bewildered and fearful.

Before the King of Gods completely vanished, he left behind a final message. His aged voice echoed throughout the divine realm, soothing the hearts of the gods.

"You all have no choice but to do this. After I leave, I hope you can put aside your grudges and join forces with the Demon King to fight against the extraterrestrial demons."

"And I have passed on my divine power to the God of Light, Longbow Wei, for only he can inherit the great lineage of the gods."

"I'll protect this part of our divine realm, but unfortunately, that's all I can do."

"If I could, I would like to protect you myself, but unfortunately I am not a qualified leader."

Farewell, everyone.

As the last embers of his life burned out, the remnants of the King of Gods vanished completely.

The remaining members of the Celestial race wept loudly, mourning their former leader.

At this moment, Chang Gong Wei looked at the Demon King, and his expression couldn't help but turn somewhat ugly.

In the end, however, he obeyed the last wish of the King of Gods and put aside his resentment to extend his hand to the Demon King.
