Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 226 The Disappearance of the "Future"

The past can be traced back; the present is happening now.

However, how can we observe the uncertain 'future'?

After the King of Gods sacrificed himself, the entire realm of the Children of Light underwent a dramatic transformation.

Moreover, at this very moment, all the extraterrestrial demons who were practicing their own paths in the Eastern and Western continents received a unified order.

An order from the highest level of authority within the Douluo Civilization.

All members of the Douluo Civilization launched an unconditional attack on the God Realm of the Child of Light.

At the same time, these Douluo people descended into this world through mimicry and their consciousness.

At this moment, I feel as if my body has been freed from some kind of restriction.

The power I can unleash now far exceeds what I previously felt.

Needless to say, the person who issued the order could only be Huo Yuhao.

"Now".

To be honest, this feeling is quite strange, because it is an anchor point in the 'past' of the Child of Light universe.

Or perhaps the anchor point in the 'present' world of the Child of Light has always been only Huo Yuhao.

Neither of these two things were achieved through any special means of creating a clone.

Instead, it was an action personally carried out by Huo Yuhao himself.

However, with the synchronization of the 'past' and 'present', Huo Yuhao realized that there were actually two versions of himself in the same space-time.

Even through the Eye of Truth, one can only get a rough idea of ​​the power of time, but Huo Yuhao had a vague guess.

That means these two versions of themselves must never meet at the same time, otherwise this strange scene might undergo some unusual changes.

However, achieving this was not difficult. Huo Yuhao issued orders to all members of the Douluo civilization in the current timeline through the AI ​​Nanke.

Those who exist in the 'present' are heading towards the divine realm located on another spatial level.

At the same time, in the 'past' timeline, Huo Yuhao also issued another command with the highest authority.

But that's a story for another time. Meanwhile, in the realm of the Child of Light, there was a different story.

Having inherited the legacy of the King of Gods and ascended to the level of a God-King, Chang Gong Wei looked at those who had crossed space from the lower realm continent.

They exuded auras of varying intensities, their strength differed but were at least at the god level, and they were extraterrestrial demons with diverse appearances and inhabitants.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with barely suppressed killing intent, and the person beside him was not his wife, Mu Zi Mo.

Instead, it was the Demon King, his greatest enemy who had nearly caused the death of his second wife, Hai Shui Xing.

Following them were Chang Gong Wei's wife and the gods of the divine realm, but only one kind of deity.

In terms of both strength and numbers, they are far inferior to these ever-emerging extraterrestrial demons.

Mu Zi Mo frowned slightly, his expression somewhat grim, and said, "Why are there so many of these extraterrestrial demons?"

"Based on our previous estimates, including those we killed, the actual number should be far less than this, right?"

"And their strength seems to have changed drastically as well. God of War, God of Heaven, God of Strength, God of Thunder, God of Wind—haven't they returned yet?"

At this moment, all the Celestials were filled with worry, but they looked with hopeful eyes at Longbow Wei at the forefront.

Longbow Wei, on the other hand, silently summoned his Holy Sword of Light.

At the same time, the Armor of the God of War, the Horn of the Gods, the Hammer of Hercules, the Shield of Thor, and the Bow of the Wind God.

These five divine artifacts, which once belonged to the five gods at the pinnacle of divine power, also appeared beside him.

However, at this moment, these five divine artifacts are different from those before, and the power they possess far exceeds that of the past.

It is faintly visible that it is filled with incomparably perfect and abundant divine power and complete and powerful law power.

Seeing this, the Demon King sneered and said loudly, "Young Longbow, let me lend you a hand."

Immediately, a strong aura of death erupted from the Demon King's body.

The immense divine power formed a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth, startling all the gods present.

Although they knew, through the entrustment of the King of Gods, that this Demon King was currently an ally of their Celestial Race.

However, given the long and protracted war between the Celestial Race and the Demon Race, it's difficult for them to completely let go of their grudges.

However, facing the overwhelming aura of death that surged towards him at its peak, Chang Gong Wei's expression remained unchanged.

Instead, it calmly withstood the blow, accompanied by the cleansing force of death.

As a god-king, Chang Gong Wei Na's lifespan, which should have been perfect and endless, was also imperfect.

As a result, wrinkles appeared on his once youthful face, and his hair turned gray.

"Thank you for your trouble," Chang Gong Wei said calmly.

The death power that originally belonged exclusively to the demon race now appeared in the Holy Sword of Light in the hand of Chang Gong Wei.

It is deeply rooted in the other five divine artifacts surrounding it.

The death power of the demon race is a power that the former celestial race could not control.

However, at this moment, with the help of the Demon King, Chang Gong Wei paid the price of his long lifespan as a God King.

They miraculously mastered this terrifying power, while the Demon King was quite weak at this time.

This eruption of death power was not just a simple attack; it was to stabilize the death aura and make it take root in the artifact.

The Demon King had burned a considerable portion of his power reserves, but when faced with Chang Gong Wei's words, the Demon King merely sneered.

"My demon race has now been wiped out, although I helped you this time because of the old man's wishes."

"But don't expect me to fight for your Celestial race."

"For me, this is at least better than dying at your hands as was the case in history."

"I will no longer concern myself with your dealings with that extraterrestrial demon. Farewell!"

The demon king's figure vanished in a phantom, disappearing without a trace.

Chang Gong Wei, however, blocked the gods of the divine realm who wanted to stop him. Chang Gong Wei's voice was somewhat low.

"The most important thing now is the decisive battle against the extraterrestrial demons. Let the Demon King do whatever he wants."

"We have no other resources to spare before we deal with the extraterrestrial demons."

"And if we are unfortunately defeated, then we will naturally be powerless to stop the Demon King from doing whatever he wants."

The gods all sighed silently, a look of sorrow flashing in their eyes, which then turned into resolve.

At the same time, Mu Zi Mo stepped forward and took Chang Gong Wei's hand, looking at him tenderly.

Not to be outdone, Hai Shui Xing on the other side also grabbed Chang Gong Wei's other hand.

Upon seeing his two wives, Chang Gong Weiwei's previously somewhat chaotic thoughts calmed down.

The protective barrier formed by the King of Gods burning his entire being and merging into the divine realm.

Now, it has been completely destroyed by a group of extraterrestrial demons. Under Huo Yuhao's leadership, the extraterrestrial demons finally set foot on the land of the God Realm.

Among these extraterrestrial demons, Chang Gong Wei spotted several familiar figures.

This also confirmed his previous guess, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

During his battle with the Demon King, he lost his comrades and the enemy chieftain of the demon race whom he had slain.

At this moment, most of them appeared in the camp of the extraterrestrial demons.

Just by looking at their expressions, you can tell that their core is definitely not the original person.

Immediately, Chang Gong Wei's gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao, who was leading the group of extraterrestrial demons.

"Your Excellency, although we do not know the origins of your group of powerful individuals, is this matter truly beyond discussion?"

"Our Celestial Race has paid a heavy price because of your existence."

"But even so, we can see that you did not come here to slaughter this world."

"In that case, would you be so kind as to grant us a chance to negotiate? After all, even if your strength is formidable..."

"However, I believe that with the power of our divine realm, we are absolutely capable of posing some threat to you."

That's what he said, but Longbow Wei still gripped the Holy Sword of Light tightly in his hand.

These words were left to him by the King of Gods in his legacy of divine power.

The King of Gods could tell that the intentions of these extraterrestrial demons were definitely not simple.

Even though their existence has threatened the rule of the divine realm, and even the lives of the celestial race.

However, if possible, the King of Gods still hopes that Longbow Wei can negotiate to gain some benefits.

Seeing Huo Yuhao remain silent, Chang Gong Wei pressed on, saying, "Your clan and my divine realm each have more than a hundred members."

"If a full-scale war were to break out, the destruction it would cause would be unprecedented, and even the world might not be able to withstand it."

"Why don't we select a few representatives to compare individual combat strength, and let the winner decide the rest of the matter?"

Upon hearing the other party's suggestion, Huo Yuhao, who had remained silent until now, simply smiled.

He immediately waved his right hand, and the Douluo Civilization members behind him rushed towards the gods of the God Realm.

In an instant, divine power surged, and the situation on the field became extremely chaotic. Even the originally stable space of the divine realm began to shatter.

Keep in mind that this space was reinforced after the sacrifice of a God-King level expert, yet it is now showing signs of breaking.

This is only the beginning of the battle. As Longbow Wei just said, no matter what the outcome, the destruction of the Light Child's artifact is inevitable.

The Douluo Civilization is not against negotiation; it's just that the current God Realm of the Light has no bargaining power.

Moreover, this kind of competition and exchange is like playing house. Without lessons learned through blood and fire, how can one side establish dominance?

Even if there is a so-called winner, how can the other party accept the ruling? In the end, it still comes down to a real fight.

Seeing that the Douluo Civilization had taken the initiative, Chang Gong Wei, who had been yielding at every turn, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He then loudly chanted, "Burn, my endless flame of life, ignite the power of the source, and unleash your final brilliance!"

A vast amount of divine power seemed to surge endlessly from Chang Gong Wei's body, but only Chang Gong Wei himself knew that this was just a temporary illusion.

Having been washed away by the aura of death, Chang Gong Wei's divine body is now riddled with holes.

If it were an ordinary god-king burning his own life flame, he could continue for a considerable period of time, and even afterward, he would not suffer any aftereffects.

At most, he would only be weakened for a period of time, but at this moment, Chang Gong Wei had no way out.

He ignited the flame of his life, truly burning his last moments.

Seeing their leader so resolute, none of the remaining members of the Celestial Clan backed down.

Their struggles are always a step behind others because they have never recognized a reality.

That was the absolute difference in strength, a fact that only the former King of Gods and the Demon King had vaguely sensed.

The Holy Sword of Light in Chang Gong Wei's hand shone brightly, and the power of the five divine artifacts gathered on it.

With the combined burst of death power, Chang Gong Wei was now confident that his sword strike could even defeat the former Demon King himself.

Even the former king of gods would be directly killed by this sword. This sword is a sword that Chang Gong Wei has risked everything for.

Faced with this sword strike, the extraterrestrial demons at the forefront had no time to react and were reduced to ashes by the sword's killing power.

Huo Yuhao neither intervened nor tried to help the other Douluo Star people because it wouldn't make much sense.

Even if their physical form and consciousness are obliterated, enduring this sword strike still brings them considerable benefits.

The power of this sword strike is already infinitely close to the level of the Supreme God-King, and it can completely illuminate a broader path for them.

In any case, for the living forest of the Douluo civilization, dying in this universe of the Child of Light is not true death.

As the sword came straight at him, the world in Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly changed.

The power of light? The power of the god of war? The power of the god of heaven? Absolute power? The power of the god of thunder? The power of the god of wind? The power of death?

All of this vanished in an instant in Huo Yuhao's eyes, because he completely deciphered these powers with just a glance.

And this sword strike, which contained all the trump cards and power, vanished into thin air without warning.

Only Longbow Wei, who had lost all his divine artifacts, stood blankly in front of Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, the life energy within his body was still burning continuously, but he had lost the blessing of the divine artifact.

He threw a punch directly at Huo Yuhao, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple. The punch passed right through Huo Yuhao's body without making contact.

And after that brief moment, Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from this world.

Neither Chang Gong Wei, Mu Zi Mo, Hai Shui Xing, nor the Celestial Clan nor anyone belonging to the Douluo Civilization knew where he had gone.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao, who was originally in another part of this time and space, also disappeared from this world.

Because at that moment, Huo Yuhao understood the true meaning of time.

If the Eye of Truth once allowed free movement between planes and easily traversed spatial dimensions...

Only then can Huo Yuhao truly utilize time, rather than simply adjusting its flow.

Now, the 'future' belonging to the gods of the Child of Light has vanished.
