Since the dawn of humanity, people have longed for the starry sky, and thus the earliest gods and humans possessed the power to illuminate the earth with the stars.

As a result, the starry sky reversed, and the stars in the sky twinkled and changed. Each star seemed to correspond to a space under its influence. As the positions of the stars changed, everything also changed in an instant in this unpredictable space.

The mountains in the east rose abruptly and moved to the western sky, while the sea of ​​clouds in the south suddenly plunged into the lake in the north.

The space within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to have been cut into a giant Rubik's Cube, with each piece shifting its position as the stars rotated.

Ella was no exception. In an instant, she was hanging upside down in the air, completely exposed, while the large tentacles that had been protecting her were all turned outside the pale barrier.

She was like an orange with its peel removed, leaving only the tender, juicy flesh, while Adam, wielding six swords, was now within arm's reach.

The two were positioned one above the other, one facing forward and the other backward. Amidst the wondrous spectacle of all things rotating in reverse with the starry sky, Adam precisely pierced the girl's thin chest with the sword edge wreathed in deathly black flames.

"You really think I'm going to run away, Ella Havie?"

He sneered, "The signs of impending death are etched with the laws of death; even the eternal gods in the eyes of the world will eventually perish."

"Your bizarre creations may not have the boundary between life and death, but what about your arrogance?"

After speaking, he suddenly pushed the sharp blade forward, and black death energy burst forth like fireworks from Ella's back.

"Holy Maiden of Light, wither away here."

As Adam made his indifferent announcement, the girl, who was floating upside down, first narrowed her eyes slightly, and then playfully raised her eyebrows.

Chapter 263 The Fall of a God and a Human

"Handsome guy, your abilities are just too dazzling."

"Varied……"

Before Adam could even show a look of astonishment, Ella swung her hand back and pierced through his chest.

"Fancy and showy, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers... It's just a pity that your physique is similar to that of a peacock."

Ella withdrew her hand again, and in her bloodied palm was the spine of a god, radiating divine light.

"But you're quite skilled with a sword. I'd like to borrow your body to forge a knife for my lover. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

Poor Adam, of course, was unable to answer this question.

His eyes widened as he stared at the girl's pure and innocent smile on her face, which was shrouded in holy light, his mind filled with endless questions.

Isn't the one he submitted to chaos?

So what was he fighting against in the end?

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question either, and his broken body fell helplessly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

The primordial god who taught humanity to make fire by rubbing sticks together to overcome darkness and established the first monument of the Black Iron civilization in the primitive era thus perished.

The pale barrier opened, and the girl saw the stars wailing. Countless meteors fell from the sky, as if the stars were shedding tears in farewell to her.

Ella lacked Adam's poetic and unrestrained literary talent, after all, the latter's heart had also embodied the essence of poetry and art from the old generation of mankind.

Thus, at the end of this mythological chapter, worthy of being recorded in the annals of world history, its instigator, the Holy Maiden of Light, racked her brains trying to say something to echo it, but in the end, she could only leave behind this sentence as the conclusion of the life of the first generation of gods and men—

"Ah, dead."

……

On the churning lava-covered ground, a tall, thin man crawled out of a crevice, covered in blood.

Gaia's incomplete soul core glowed in his hand, while the silver-haired girl gently descended from the sky on her tentacles, handing Adam's crystal-clear, snow-white spine to her.

Ye Xiao took the spine and forcefully pressed the soul core onto it. Deep red molten lava flowed out, melting the spine into a crooked bone knife.

"It should be usable, albeit barely..."

Ye Xiao casually twirled the knife, and surprisingly, it was quite light and easy to handle, though its appearance was a bit eye-catching.

The power of the laws that Adam and Gaia wielded was concentrated within it. Although he couldn't activate it at will, he could still use it to some extent.

After the previous wave of deaths, Ye Xiao's sword, Shadow Chaser, disappeared somewhere. In subsequent battles, Ye Xiao couldn't always ask Ella to make a Holy Light Blade. The thing in his hand was made by a god, so it should be considered a divine artifact at least.

Thinking this, Ye Xiao curiously opened the system panel and took a look.

【equipment:?】

[Quality: Myth]

[Description: An indescribable creation. The "?" in its name does not stem from the unknown, but from bewilderment—was this thing made by a human?]

【Skill:?】

"Very good, it seems the system also recognizes this as a divine artifact."

Ye Xiaoxin contentedly shoved the bone knife back into his waistband, briefly accepted the holy light healing that Ella had applied to his body, and continued forward with her.

The battles against Adam and Gaia had also taken a toll on their strength, causing them to slow down their pace and take a short break before the final battle.

The path to the Fortress of Despair is filled with corrupted beings. Even if mountains crumble and the sky falls, it doesn't stop them from wandering around like madmen.

However, the two of them didn't need much effort to clean up these things now; a casual swipe of the Holy Light Tentacles was enough to clear away almost everything in sight.

……

Soon, a day and a night had passed.

The majestic silhouette of the Breathless Mountains finally emerged from the crimson-hued horizon.

Beneath the blood-red sky, swirling clouds of filth rolled and churned, and the once magnificent war fortress was now nothing but ruins.

The outline of the broken wall on the stone ridge stretches and extends, looking from a distance like the broken skeleton of a giant beast lying on the craggy mountain peak.

A bewitching and enormous black lotus bloomed on the mountaintop, while black, foul rain drizzled down on the earth.

Ye Xiao and Ella, two figures bathed in a deep red glow, stepped side by side into the muddy ground.

A fierce wind howled, and broken spears and halberds littered the vast land. The two tiny figures walked slowly beneath the towering cliffs, appearing somewhat lonely.

When they reached the foot of the mountain and looked up at the end of the steps leading to the ruins at the summit, a thousand meters above, a petite figure finally appeared in the sandstorm.

It was a silver-haired girl wearing a black retro dress, with the same cute face as Ella, and the same pair of charming crimson eyes.

"Lydia."

Ella narrowed her eyes, gazing at the beautiful figure that looked just like her, and slowly spoke.

“You actually dared to come back, Ella Hayville.”

Lydia sat atop the mountain, looking down at Ella, whose legs swayed as she walked, with an arrogant and contemptuous smile on her face.

"It seems they have forgotten the fear that I imprisoned in the darkness for countless cycles."

"Do you need me to help you remember? That cowardly girl hiding in a corner of your mind, trembling and only knowing how to cry?"

"Ah."

Ella sneered, "You mere parasite, sucking my blood for tens of thousands of years and you still don't know how to be grateful... Let's see if I can kill you today."

The foul and obscene words caused Lydia's expression to change slightly.

"You've learned a lot of useless rhetoric from that remnant soul's personality."

As she spoke, a tall, thin man walked up behind Lydia and revealed his figure.

"However, compared to that ridiculous empty shell next to you, I thoughtfully found his true self for you."

"As a gift for our reunion, I hope that when he kills you, you will be as arrogant as your mouth."

“You should say that to yourself, Lydia.”

Ella watched as Lydia gently raised her hand, a shimmering blade of light coalescing in her palm, and tendrils wreathed in holy light surging from beneath her skirt. "The feeling of rolling back into the void won't be pleasant."

On the other side, Ye Xiao silently looked at his other self on the cliff, and quietly placed his left hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Tsk, tsk."

Lydia's wide grin became even more menacing, and she licked her lips with her pink tongue.

"Little Ella has grown up, and I'm going to have to savor her rebellious side now."

"Serene, go deal with that boring empty shell that fell off you, don't let him come and spoil my fun."

"Yes, my master."

The man, who looked exactly like Ye Xiao and was called "Sairen" by Lydia, then placed his hand on the long, black sword at his waist.

……

On the battlefield at the end of the world, the four faced each other in silence, their rising killing intent gradually sweeping across the land.

Heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment, the clouds rolled and churned, until the yellow wind swept across the magnificent mountains, and a thunderclap suddenly rose in the vast sky, sounding the horn of the decisive battle.

Chapter 264 The Final Battle

A sea of ​​pitch-black silt cascades down from a towering cliff in an instant.

The boundless darkness seemed to devour all light, crashing against the earth, and countless corrupted evils sprang up and spread from the ground, making Ella feel as if she had been plunged into the abyss of hell.

She raised one hand high, golden light emanating from her palm, and pale tentacles spread outwards to form a spherical barrier.

"The authority of light, how I miss it."

Lydia curled her lips into a smile, “When I destroyed His world, it was this tiny, faint light that stubbornly resisted.”

As he spoke, the black tide surged, and the holy light barrier, which shone brightly, immediately developed spiderweb-like cracks like an eggshell under constant pounding.

The tall, thin man in the trench coat leaped down from the high cliff, his right arm extending tendrils that twisted into blades, and slashed down at the crumbling holy light barrier.

"clang"

With a crisp clang of metal clashing and a burst of dazzling sparks, Ye Xiao darted out of the barrier and raised his bone knife to block Ella.

The massive impact rippled through the mud, and Seren and Ye Xiao locked eyes across the blade, each with a chilling killing intent flashing in their eyes.

"You're nothing but a remnant soul I abandoned, yet you dare to block my blade?"

"A lackey who has succumbed to chaos, whose true name has been lost, has the right to call himself the 'original'?"

As soon as they finished speaking, jet-black lines simultaneously spread from their arms, bursting out over a radius of several miles. In an instant, everything in their path seemed to be cleaved into pieces by thousands of blades.

Ella wasn't idle either. With a slight wave of her small hand, a huge, pale tentacle shot into the sky, crashing into the mountain peak where Lydia was, just like a dragon's horn.

But soon, a jet-black lotus flower bloomed majestically from beneath the tentacle. Lydia, who was wrapped and protected beneath it, blew a breath, and a sudden black, pungent wind lifted the tentacle.

Numerous strange cracks then crawled up the white tentacles, as if a necromantic plague had seeped into these pale lives.

“Using my creations against me, Havil, you’re insane.”

Lydia snapped her fingers, and the pale tentacles that had burst from the ground immediately went out of control, writhing and twitching as if they had gone mad.

"Ok?"

But Lydia frowned slightly, somewhat surprised to find that the white tentacles did not obey her commands after the corruption, but instead swayed for a while before lashing back at her.

The black tentacles above its head immediately retracted and blocked the air. With a loud bang, the white tentacles slammed down with tremendous force, shattering the mountain peak despite the black tentacles blocking them.

The shockwave swept across the hillside, and broken walls and falling rocks rained down like raindrops.

From below the mountain, Ella reached out and a gentle holy light emanated from her tentacles, shining on the black tentacles that the other party had wrapped around.

"Zi-"

Like wisps of smoke rising from the scorching sun, white cracks meander across the slippery, dark surface, but are quickly covered by the sludge that seeps from the burnt area.

The black tentacle swung its head and slapped the white tentacle away, then grabbed the middle of the white tentacle with its monstrous strength and tore it apart.

"I can't corrupt her either."

Ella murmured softly, abandoning her plan to forcibly seize the opponent's tentacles with holy light, and instead channeled her divine power to make more tentacles enveloped in holy light grow from beneath her feet.

"Ah."

Lydia narrowed her eyes slightly, and pressed her slender hand, wrapped in a black silk glove, down. Countless huge black tentacles also spewed out from the sea of ​​mud beneath her feet.

Countless tentacles burst forth from the mountainside, as if two ancient behemoths with tentacles as their limbs were colliding, or as if two suns, one black and one white, were rising simultaneously from the earth.

The clash between light and darkness stirred up all things in the world, with chaotic clouds and broken tectonic plates of earth swirling in space.

In the narrow gap where thousands of tentacles fought, two flashes of light, one black and one white, sped through and collided like shooting stars.

Those were naturally Ye Xiao and Seren. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and in an instant, only countless afterimages of the two fighting each other could be seen flashing across the sky and earth.
