Two more evil gods appeared!
Before the Oasis Fortress, the Ancients' expressions darkened.
"How can more evil gods emerge? Infinite Weaver, Fallen Emperor... I've never heard of these two evil gods' titles!"
The emergence of new evil gods made the already beleaguered situation even more dire.
The Ancients thought so.
Fang You did not.
Only when all the evil gods were present would it be possible for him to sever the power of evil gods and prevent the birth of the Original Evil God.
At this moment,
The Scarlet Moon launched its attack and devoured without regard for cost, as always. The Infinite Weaver, an evil god sealed by the Kandra Empire for many years and whose power was already incomplete, was immediately crushed. It might not be long before it was completely devoured.
The Scarlet Moon was impatient.
This was the most fundamental instinct of an evil god, especially as it was only one step away from completing its power and ascending to the next rank.
However, even as the Scarlet Moon suppressed and devoured the Infinite Weaver, strands of confusion emanated from it.
The Original Evil God had merely split into nine.
The Fallen Emperor did not possess the power it yearned for, yet it was undeniably the power of an evil god.
The Fallen Emperor struck!
It launched a suicidal attack at the Scarlet Moon.
Fang You also burned a large amount of belief power, assisting the Fallen Emperor in ambushing the Scarlet Moon.
BOOM—
Black light;
White fire;
Erupted on both sides of the bizarre crimson moon.
The black light contained supreme divine power and, more importantly, terrifying god-slaying power.
This originated from the empire known as Kandra.
An empire that had already become history, yet its name was still widely praised.
"It's the Great Emperor!"
Chi Yan, who had arrived at the battlefield, showed a rare look of stunned disbelief.
Lu Feng and Zhou Bao, further away, were even more shocked.
As Kandra natives, they had never seen this Glorious Emperor, nor did they have any image of him in their minds, only a vague figure and fragmented descriptions.
At this moment, they understood.
Because the Glorious Empire had become an evil god, all its past deeds had been blurred or erased.
"Human strength has its limits."
"Only evil gods can fight evil gods."
Fang You vaguely recalled his conversation with this Emperor in his mind.
In a certain time fragment.
He had guessed this before, but when the truth presented itself, he was still somewhat shocked and deeply respectful.
The Glorious Emperor, a man who had fought to slay gods his entire life.
But could one who transformed into an evil god avoid being assimilated by them?
"I can only maintain consciousness for a few minutes, but a few minutes are enough."
"The rest is up to you, young human powerhouse."
"Hehehehahahaha—"
The Emperor laughed heartily, his entire being escalating to its peak.
His entire body turned into light, burning within the light, dissipating inch by inch.
He extended his hands, clad in black gloves, and tore through the red light, as if tearing through cloth.
The entire red moon trembled.
The Scarlet Moon was injured, but it continued to devour the Infinite Weaver.
It paid a greater price, a massive maw opening in the depths of the red moon planet, swallowing the Infinite Weaver whole.
Fang You did not stop it, merely seizing the opportunity to burn his belief power to its fullest, blasting numerous colossal craters onto the surface of the red moon.
Soon,
The Scarlet Moon began its ascension.
It had been wounded several times, and to quickly devour these evil gods, it had paid considerable costs.
The Scarlet Moon's current state was unstable. Cracks spanning millions and tens of millions of kilometers appeared throughout the red moon world, and its diffused red light was somewhat fragmented.
But after devouring the Infinite Weaver, even without fully digesting it, the Scarlet Moon had effectively gathered all the keys.
It began its evolution into the Original Evil God.
"Hoo hoo—"
The vast river of time materialized, its waters faintly tinged with red. Wave after wave of red moons rose from it.
Hundreds and thousands of Scarlet Moons from the past and future transmitted their power across the expanse of time.
Outside the Strange Realm, one extraterrestrial world after another was born, with red moons rising within them, dominating all.
It was not just evolving; it was seeking to assimilate the entire universe into its form.
After all, the Original Evil God had roamed the infinite void, likely having assimilated and devoured more than one universe.
"Hoo hoo—"
From the river of time, two figures emerged.
Past Fang You, Future Fang You.
Striving to resist the forces from beyond this timeline.
"Ahhhhh—!"
Chi Yan stepped on the red light, climbing towards the front of the red moon. The god-slaying weapon in her hands, "Endless Slaughter," which had been fully repaired and modified, emanated a chilling crimson glow.
This was a different shade of red from the moon's.
The light spread, gradually engulfing her petite form. Her innate talent, Divine Demon Blood Burn, was furiously activated, her divine body igniting, and her authority of slaughter also ablaze.
One by one, materialized authorities unleashed their ultimate brilliance.
Chi Yan slashed into the Scarlet Moon's body, tearing her way inward step by step against immense pressure.
Fang Liu Yi summoned a projection of the World Tree to counter the unspeakable red moon light.
Xing Jing Lei, Qian Mian, Zhou Bao, Xi Di Na, Yi Yue Lu Xi... One top-tier expert of the Spark after another fought desperately, all knowing they had reached the most critical juncture.
Even those stationed in the rear, not primarily combatants, like Liu Shang, Yin Ling, Master Wang Chui, Hei Tong, Xiao Huan, and others, launched their attacks.
Every bit of strength, every bit of light.
But as light accumulated and reached a certain brilliance, darkness had no choice but to retreat.
"Fight!"
"The Legion is immortal, humanity is immortal!"
Hei Dao led the Immortal Legion, which arrived through the air. Within it, one by one, powerhouses who had long since perished and been buried in history once again unleashed their brilliance.
They were here to fulfill the mission left unfinished in their time.
Some heroic spirits bathed in divine fire, their divine bodies blazing. This was the manifestation of the residual belief from Yan Tian Zhu.
Some heroic spirits piloted divine mechs, colossal figures rising within the army formation, their cannons clicking open. This was the manifestation of the residual belief from Gang Tian Zhu.
A short old man emerged from the army formation. His spine straightened, and though his stature was not tall, he seemed like a magnificent barrier standing at the very forefront of the line. He wielded a long spear, fighting against heaven and earth. This was Wu Tian Zhu, the God of War!
Mi Tian Zhu, Hua Tian Zhu, and others—human epic figures whose names were etched in history—emerged one after another from the Immortal Legion. There were also Ancients whose beliefs were eternal.
They had all perished; their true spirits were gone and could not possibly revive within the Immortal Legion.
However, by burning all their residual traces, these heroic spirits could briefly reappear with their former glory.
When they stood together within the army formation, their powers converging, they unleashed a fearsome might that even evil gods would regard with awe.
"Fight!"
The legion marched, crushing countless high-ranking insidious beings and evil god servants.
The bizarre red light descending from the dome was also dispersed by the legion's blades.
At this moment,
The Fallen Emperor, transformed into light, had its lower body already burned away. It was incredibly frenzied, unable to truly maintain its sanity, almost forgetting its original purpose, forgetting its past. From the moment it transformed into an evil god, the Glorious Emperor had perished; only an evil god's body remained, along with the Emperor's lingering belief and obsession.
Fueled by obsession, it constantly muttered and fought madly.
But upon seeing the heroic spirits of familiar old friends like Wu Tian Zhu, a trace of human brilliance finally flickered in the Fallen Emperor's eyes, which were filled with madness.
It looked on, deeply gratified.
"We can fight side-by-side again."
It burned itself even more furiously.
Previously, its frenzy was driven by obsession; now, its belief had also returned, just like Wu Tian Zhu and the others, reappearing in this era with their former glory.
It was the Glorious Emperor!
"Fight!"
It pushed the red moon, inching it towards the earth. Even as its body dissolved into light, it did not stop.
The red moon trembled, and one domain after another was annihilated.
"Let us join too."
An Jian You raised her hand.
The Underworld world she had painstakingly managed for a long time began to burn fiercely.
The entire world continuously collapsed, turning into nourishment to amplify power. She felt a pang of reluctance and heartache, but she did not hesitate. She had to pour all her strength into increasing that slim possibility.
Red clothes, white silk, furnace golem, strange laughing puppet, purgatorial envoy…
One by one, insidious beings bathed in dense black mist surrounded An Jian You.
All in position.
Merge!
Transform!
By merging all the main combat insidious beings and sacrificing the Underworld world, a girl in red clothes with white silk wrapped around her hands slowly emerged. Her eyes burned with cerulean flames, eight skeletal giant hands covered in black flames floated behind her, and a massive eyeball slowly opened in the void behind her.
She was like a maiden emerging from hell, heading straight for the bizarre crimson moon.
The red light fractured further.
The Scarlet Moon was evolving but also falling.
Either it would evolve into the Original Evil God, and no living being in the Strange Realm would survive, or it would be slain before its evolution was complete.
It was time...
Fang You wiped the golden blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes growing solemn.
He was not lightly injured.
He had been the main force in the previous battle, taking several attacks from the Scarlet Moon. His divine body was already cracked, and some wounds even sprouted flesh buds with independent wills.
But his belief remained.
The belief of countless beings in the Strange Realm, gathered together, still remained.
"It's time to ignite the light of all belief."
Whoosh—
The Gate of Infinity shattered with a bang.
A sea of belief light surged out and burned fiercely.
This was the belief from billions of beings in the Strange Realm.
These were the wishes of countless beings over tens and hundreds of thousands of years in the Strange Realm.
This was also the world's own desire.
To expel evil gods and welcome back glory!
"When a person's belief is strong enough, the Savior will cast his gaze, using human belief as firewood to ignite the fire of hope; this is the Spark!"
But this world had no Savior.
Because everyone was a Savior.
One point of belief was one point of power, imbued with smiling faces and blessings.
He would not, could not, let them down.
"Burn."
The brilliant light of belief, at this moment, was like a river formed by the convergence of myriad lamps, piercing the night sky.
Beneath the red moon, the night sky was incredibly brilliant, and even the gray fog could not obscure it.
Countless people looked up, gazing at the starry sky.
They suddenly understood that there were still powerful beings silently fighting and protecting them.
Fang You smiled.
"Indeed, we are not fighting alone."
"Even if the timeline is altered and the red moon is beautified, humanity's belief will not change."
This was the most true, most pure fire of belief.
Go, this is my final strength.
Fang You's belief also burned.
The projection of the Tree of Life burned, his unquenchable furnace of a divine body burned.
He turned into light, and within that light, he wielded the god-slaying sword formed by his authorities, amplified by the boundless power of belief.
Fang You reached his ultimate sublimation and unleashed the single sword strike he could perform in his lifetime.
Crack—
Crack—
Crack—
His divine body cracked, no longer resembling a human form.
But Fang You smiled.
An Jian You, Hei Dao, Chi Yan, the Glorious Emperor, himself…
Their figures were minuscule before the red moon, but at this moment, the red moon had fallen.
It had fallen.
Time froze.
In this battle, the river of time had been nearly severed, the space of the Strange Realm was shattered, and countless domains plunged into silence.
But as long as the evil god was slain and darkness no longer loomed, the Strange Realm could slowly repair itself under the influence of the rules and return to its origin.
"Is it over?"
"It must be over."
In the frozen time, Fang You's consciousness drifted.
He saw the red moon cracking, collapsing.
Truly heading towards its death.
He also saw the Scarlet Moon's unwillingness and anger.
Anger? Fang You smiled, coughing up blood.
The Scarlet Moon was dissipating.
"Living beings..."
"How foolish..."
"Gods will never die."
The Scarlet Moon dissipated, but the power of evil gods did not.
Great terror and great impurity still lingered on the lands of the Strange Realm.
Fang You's smile faded.
The power of evil gods could not be eradicated. Even if the Scarlet Moon died, this power would still flow into some evil god's follower or insidious being, creating another supreme evil god.
It might be weaker than the Scarlet Moon.
Perhaps by continuously killing evil gods, the total amount of evil god power could be slowly weakened.
But,
They were already too exhausted to fight.
They were incapable of confronting even the most ordinary Extreme Night Underworld Lord or Shadow of Darkness.
Fang You looked around.
The Glorious Emperor had burned to ashes, vanishing into light.
An Jian You was forced to end her merged state and lay on a broken continent, on the verge of death.
Hei Dao's Immortal Legion was sparse. His armor was torn, his faceplate completely shattered, and he only stood upright by leaning on his saber.
At this moment, the power of the evil gods was writhing and gradually becoming active.
"There's only one path left."
"Should I say my preparations were very thorough?"
Fang You wanted to mock himself but felt it was unnecessary. He was a god-slayer!
He slowly flew forward, using his last strength to summon the Spark Secret Realm and the remaining World Power.
He used the World Power as his hand to grasp this unresurrected evil god power.
Before him, the river of time appeared.
He stepped into it and arrived at the erased nodal point.
On the panel, all remaining fate points were burned.
He used himself as a vessel, the Spark Secret Realm as the foundation, and the power of destiny as threads to construct the Ring of Causality and Destiny.
He would make the evil god power endlessly cycle through time and destiny, perpetually repeating the process of resurrection.
This was a seal.
The tide of destiny surged, forming a vortex that encompassed both time and space.
Fang You looked back, glancing into the distance.
His gaze swept across An Jian You, Hei Dao, Xiao Huan, and others, lingering on each one.
"The war is over, and from now on, it will be peaceful days, so be happy."
"The development of the Spark cannot stop; our goal is the Sea of Universes."
"But before that, everyone can rest for a while, no need to push so hard… Oh right, don't forget to have a victory celebration. We are the victors; we have slain gods."
The evil god power was becoming more active, likely to come alive at any moment.
Fang You also felt some reluctance.
"There's no time for more. Meeting all of you was an incredibly fortunate thing, but goodbyes are inevitable."
Farewell.
If possible…
Fang You turned, grabbed the writhing evil god power, and threw it into the vortex of destiny.
The night gradually calmed.
A faint ray of light appeared from the edge of the sky; it was dawn.
...
"Ding!"
"Eighth cycle complete."
"Do you wish to set up the ninth cycle fate draw pool? The number of fate card pools for this cycle is 9, with a maximum item of 'colored' grade that can be placed. Placed items can only be selected from treasures obtained in this cycle."
Fang You's consciousness drifted.
Heavenly sounds echoed from the void.
...
In a rather ordinary bedroom in Taiping Residential Area.
A dashing young man stared at his phone.
On the screen, flames roared, and a fearless figure lunged towards the darkness, illuminated by the firelight.
"Savior, are you ready?"
