Then the Loyin warriors leaped up and raised their flaming swords high, ready to cleave the Night King in two, save the world, and become unparalleled heroes.

However, just as the Divine Sword Lightbringer was only an inch away from the Night King's icy crown, it looked as if it was about to cleave the Night King in two.

But in the next second, the whole world seemed to freeze. Azor Ahai, holding the Lightbringer, gritted his teeth and desperately tried to strike with the sword, but it was as if he were stuck in a quagmire and could not move even an inch.

The first Night King remained standing there, his expression indifferent, his eyes burning with icy flames, utterly calm.

It is obvious that everything happening before our eyes was done by the other party. As a long-lived species, the mental strength of the Forest Children is inherently superior to that of humans. The Night King was also exceptionally talented in his lifetime. In addition, due to the influence of the Black Stone's magnetic field, his mental strength had long since reached a terrifying level.

That's why the Children of the Forest suffered repeated losses at the hands of this fellow human, and even warned all their allies before the battle that the Night King was not so easy to deal with.

Although the Night King, born as a child of the forest, is indeed weak in close combat, his powerful mental strength is his most terrifying aspect.

It was able to make it impossible for Azor Ahai, an ordinary person, to move an inch simply by suppressing him with its mental power.

"Oops."

The middle-aged man with black hair held a long sword, his cheeks flushed red. He tried desperately to break free, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea. The vast difference in strength between the two was enough to erase many things, such as a firm will.

Swallowing the Stars: Sign-in to Become a God

Then Azor Ahai watched helplessly as the other person slowly reached out and grabbed his neck.

卡…

The Night King's fingers, chilling to the bone, touched Azor Ahai's neck and sent a jolt through his body, even making him shiver slightly.

His eyes were filled with indifference to life; if he wanted to crush Azor Ahai now, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"Damn monster!"

Azor Ahai, with the Night King gripping his neck, seemed to slowly regain control of his body; the Night King could easily snap his neck with a mere pinch of his fingers.

Even under such circumstances, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he cursed and tried to wield the Lightbringer to continue cutting off the other man's head.

Card--

But then, a crisp sound of bones cracking rang out on the silent ice field.

Azor Ahai's Lightbringer didn't strike down; the Night King had already crushed his throat before him. The human hero's body quickly lost its strength, and the divine sword in his hand instantly dimmed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Azor Ahai's body then became limp and was thrown to the ground, as insignificant as a tattered sack.

The Night King, however, was somewhat interested in the sword in his hand, because he had just sensed an aura from it that he found repulsive, a power that clashed with the power within him.

Azor Ahai's body lay on the ground, his head lolling to one side, his black eyes devoid of all light, reflecting the Night King's image as he bent down slightly, preparing to pick up Lightbringer.

But at that moment, the Night King's outstretched hand paused slightly in mid-air, as if he had sensed something, and then prepared to turn his head to look behind him.

Meanwhile, Azor Ahai, whose neck had just been broken, seemed to suddenly come back to life.

He suddenly flipped over, grabbed the Lightbringer from the ground, and with lightning speed thrust directly at the Night King's body...

Peng——

next second.

The sharp dragon steel longsword pierced through the Night King's chest from behind. The first Night King's expression froze slightly, as if he had never imagined that he would die in such a manner.

And they also did not expect that there would be such a formidable opponent among the survivors.

Meanwhile, on the ice altar, Azor Ahai saw someone kill the Night King before him, and his expression twisted slightly, like a vortex, revealing a dark, deep face without features.

It was furious that after so much careful preparation, it had still failed in the end, but now that the matter had been exposed, it could no longer stay here.

It then manipulated Azor Ahai's broken-necked body to flee into the distance.

All of this happened very suddenly; Azor Ahai tried to kill the Night King but was killed instead.

His corpse then suddenly retaliated as if it had risen from the dead, attempting to kill the Night King. However, others beat him to it, and without any hesitation, he turned and fled.

As Azor Ahai's 'corpse' escaped, the Night King's body, pierced by the Dragonsteel sword, instantly shattered into pieces, turning into shards of ice scattered across the ground.

Then the whole world froze again. This time, however, the freeze was different from when the Night King used his mental power to suppress Azor Ahai. Instead, the whole world became completely quiet, as if time had stopped.

Azor Ahai's 'corpse' fled in panic, while Viserys, wielding the Dragonsteel Sword, preemptively pierced the Night King's body.

Call ~

Then a gentle breeze blew through the frozen world, and Viserys slightly opened his eyes.

Before him appeared a seemingly ordinary weirwood tree with bark as white as bone and leaves of deep red. He then spoke.

"You've finally appeared..."

The weirwood tree stretched out its branches and leaves, drooping in front of Viserys's eyes.

Viserys took a deep breath and then reached out to lift the other person up.

Chapter 1151 The Ancient Gods

The pale branches of the weirwood tree drooped before Viserys' eyes.

The young man with silver-gold hair took a deep breath, then reached out and held the leaf to his forehead.

Above the cave where the Children of the Forest have lived for generations stands a giant, majestic weirwood tree, gleaming with golden light, which only humans with the talent to become Green Prophets can glimpse in their dreams.

Everyone who has seen it in dreams or in person, such as Jojian Reed and Bran, who were given the 'Green Vision' by the Three-Eyed Raven, and even Brynden Rivers and Viserys, who are the Three-Eyed Raven, believe that this golden weirwood is the true form of the Old God.

However, no one expected that they had been deceived by the Old God. When the golden weirwood withered, people believed that the Old God had died.

But in reality, when the giant black weirwood that rose from the East China Sea later swallowed the entire world, people realized that the Old Gods had not died.

And now, the one who appears before Viserys and stops him from killing the Night King... is the true Old God.

He is working hard to maintain the true order of this spacetime, preventing it from being destroyed by external forces and thus causing more 'chaos'.

Viserys and the other gods were banished to this time and space. Initially, everything they did was still within the tolerance of the Old Gods, so they did not appear for a long time.

However, when Viserys killed the Night King of this timeline, the Old Gods finally lost their patience and pressed the pause button on the entire world, freezing time.

Because Viserys killed the Night King in place of Azor Ahai, he not only changed the original laws and order of the entire spacetime, but also gave birth to 'chaos'.

Killing the Night King is an opportunity to become a god, and for the gods who have been wandering for eight thousand years, the lost divine power is what they crave most now. Only by regaining their divine power can they become gods in the sky again.

Even though they can now rely on their past wealth to lord it over the mortal world, and few can threaten or kill them, they have ultimately not regained what they lost.

Therefore, Viserys had been plotting for a long time to kill the Night King before Azor Ahai could.

However, it is clear that Viserys was unaware of the 'unexpected situation' that occurred during this battle.

The 'Calamity' who claimed to be his son had somehow replaced the original human hero Azor Ahai. He wanted to kill the Night King and seize the opportunity to become a god, just like Viserys.

Unfortunately, 'Calamity' also did not expect that Viserys had the same idea and acted even faster than it. Therefore, it thought that things might have been exposed, which is why it had to flee in panic.

However, even without Viserys' interference, the Old Gods of this timeline would not allow his plan to succeed.

Point Guard Here

It would be better for Viserys to regain his divine power than for such a mysterious and unknown being to become a god again.

After observing the Old Gods of this timeline, Viserys breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was clear that the Old Gods were perhaps not yet affected by the 'curse,' or perhaps not yet completely controlled.

Therefore, he began to communicate with the ancient gods of this time and space. He gently lifted the pale branches of the weirwood tree and placed them on his forehead, the scarlet leaves swaying slightly.

Subsequently, a great deal of consciousness fluctuation occurred between the two. Viserys had many questions he wanted to ask the other, and the Old God patiently answered them as well.

At first, Viserys's expression remained calm, but as he received more and more information from the Old Gods, his expression changed significantly, and he even couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where Kramdy had fled.

Viserys originally thought the other party was an ancient god of this time and space, but he did not expect that the other party was not what he imagined, but a more ancient and ancient being.

As the earliest deity in the world, the Old Goddess was the first weirwood tree in the universe, even predating the Heavenly Emperor of the East. She silently cultivated and built the entire divine realm, becoming the guardian of time and order.

Subsequently, the divine realm gradually welcomed the appearance of more gods. However, the appearance of the gods brought vitality to the divine realm, but also brought conflict.

War gradually broke out among the gods, who began to attempt to access forbidden powers in their pursuit of power.

In fact, long before intelligent life in the world was in its infancy, when the earliest gods were born, they had already sensed the danger posed by the 'Black Stone from Outer Space'.

While these black stones brought enlightenment and wisdom to life on this world, they were also a double-edged sword; the birth of wisdom was both a source of life and a source of destruction.

Therefore, the earliest gods established a rule that every god had the responsibility to suppress and seal the Black Stone, and this rule has been passed down to this day.

The Old Gods have always suppressed a black stone, and the Sea Stone position of the Drowned God is also a black stone.

The labyrinth of Loras, the temple atop the Stairway of Sinners in Norfolk, the summit of Mount Our Lady of the Dothraki, the confluence of the Laruru and Lorne rivers, and beneath the surface of what was once called Chayorn but is now known as Heartbreak Ridge... all these places are where the Black Stone is suppressed.

However, a crisis was brewing under these circumstances. The double-edged sword of intelligent life came into play, and some of the gods began to covet the power of the Black Stone, thus bringing the 'curse' into the world.

The Old God also participated in this process, wanting to use the power of ice and fire to end the war and restore peace to the realm of gods, but unfortunately, the Old God also failed.

However, she noticed something was wrong in time and stopped the fusion, but she still couldn't escape the 'curse' and was afflicted by it.

The Old God then began searching for a way to save herself, relying on her unique ability to travel through time and space to almost indefinitely delay the extent of the curse's corruption, which is why it has been delayed for so many years without being exposed.

What appears before Viserys now is an ancient god, afflicted by a 'curse' and not long ago, wandering through the long river of time.

It knows everything that has happened in the world from the past to the present, and it exists at every point in time, but it is not itself at every point in time.

Although it is somewhat complicated, the Old Gods are deities who live in the long river of time, drifting with the current and never easily interfering.

After the man and the tree finished their conversation, the branches of the old god drooped down.

After a long period of contemplation, the branches of the weirwood tree finally rose again and placed on Viserys's forehead.

It has made its decision.

Chapter 1152 The Old Gods' Decision

The cursed fate is irreversible, and now only the Old Gods can save the world. After a long silence, the Old Gods finally made their decision.

Its pale leaves once again clung to Viserys's forehead. It was willing to help Viserys send the gods back to their original timeline and help them defeat its 'corrupted' self.

However, the Old God had to pay a huge price to do this, and these prices were irreversible. Killing its future self was tantamount to jeopardizing tomorrow, which is why it remained silent for so long.

However, time has no meaning for the Old God. It has lived for far too long and has a long lifespan. Its original attempt to merge forbidden power was to end the war between the gods, just like what it is about to do now.

Therefore, it was willing to help Viserys and the other gods.

But Viserys has to agree to one condition.

Then the branches of the Old God shimmered slightly and drooped down once more. When it told Viserys its conditions, this time the silver-haired young man remained silent for a long time.

He pulled open his sleeve and looked at the 'curse' that had been banished to the time and space of eight thousand years ago but still clung to him.
