The ancient ancestors breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Xiao Ye pursue the demonic creature.
"Quickly, come with us! It's not good to be targeted by that god of slaughter!" they urged Gu Xiao Su and the others anxiously.
Gu Xiao Su and her companions ignored the ancient ancestors, heading swiftly in Xiao Ye's direction.
The ancient ancestors were stunned. "What's wrong with you people?"
Were these descendants so obstinate? They had already exerted their utmost to save them!
The sky's color grew increasingly deep and dark.
Countless citizens of Blue Star wore expressions of worry as their homes collapsed.
"Why does this feel like a natural disaster..."
"What is happening to our world?"
Due to the ongoing escape, more humans gravitated towards the Alliance.
They gathered near the Judgment Platform. The platform itself was empty, devoid of anything.
Just then, they saw the unsightly Hao Duoyu flapping his wings, attempting to fly away.
Hao Duoyu was on the verge of escaping the Alliance as he gazed at the deep, dark sky.
The vortex appeared as if the firmament had been torn open, accompanied by chilling thunderclaps.
Hao Duoyu felt a surge of eager joy. "Heavenly gods are descending! They will surely save me..."
He knew he wouldn't fail; a divine being was bound to rescue him.
Everything would become a tool for his ambition!
He would become an immortal figure who dominated the world for eternity!
This was Hao Duoyu's conviction, right up until the moment of his death.
However.
A sudden sharp pain pierced his chest. Hao Duoyu looked down to see a black sword protruding through him.
His defenses had vanished, and his heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
"Do you remember this place?"
A hoarse, deep chuckle sounded from behind him.
Hao Duoyu stiffly turned to face Xiao Ye, his wings rendered immobile.
His pupils trembled as he noticed he was at the site of the Judgment Platform.
Below, countless humans watched the unfolding scene.
Their expressions varied, mirroring the way they had judged Xiao Ye before.
Xiao Ye looked at Hao Duoyu, his voice a raspy laugh. "This time... I am the one judging you, sentencing you to death!"
Hao Duoyu's entire body stiffened. He seemed to understand everything in an instant.
He saw Xiao Ye's indifferent face, and Hao Duoyu's essence began to collapse.
"Xiao Ye, you did this on purpose..."
It dawned on him that Xiao Ye could have killed him at any time.
He had deliberately driven Hao Duoyu to the Judgment Platform, just as he had done before, to kill him!
The black sword lodged in his body relentlessly eroded Hao Duoyu's being, his very organs.
He could no longer stay airborne and was about to fall from the Judgment Platform.
Such hatred...
Why had this become his fate?
Before Xiao Ye's appearance, Hao Duoyu had been unrestrained and capable of brainwashing people's minds.
His eyes were filled with madness and despair as thunderous sounds echoed in his ears.
In the distance, figures of heavenly gods began to emerge from the vortex.
"I will not die, Xiao Ye... You won't kill me..."
Hao Duoyu's body plummeted, enduring the suffocating agony.
His wings still flapped with difficulty. Hao Duoyu firmly believed he would not die.
He would defeat Xiao Ye; he was the favored child of this world.
It was Xiao Ye who had stolen everything from him.
"Ah!!"
A scream from Hao Duoyu pierced the air as Xiao Ye's figure brushed past him.
Hao Duoyu's wings, along with the bone, were severed, accompanied by his heart-wrenching wails!
The humans who had fled to the Judgment Platform stared at it with terrified, astonished eyes.
A mass of flesh tumbled onto the platform, a bloody, unrecognizable mess resembling an ugly fish.
The black sword was pulled from Hao Duoyu's body and instantly materialized and vanished in Xiao Ye's hand.
He watched Hao Duoyu's dying struggle, oblivious to his surroundings.
Hao Duoyu's gaze was fixed on the heavens, where golden light seemed to flow.
All the humans around him watched with cold indifference!
Hao Duoyu writhed, his bloody form twisting, his vision growing increasingly blurred.
It was the scent of death!
"They should all call me a great hero, they should all call me a great hero..."
He would not die!
Would not die!
"Xiao Ye, you can't win against me, hahaha!!"
A hoarse, gravelly laugh erupted wildly from Hao Duoyu's mouth.
His eyes were wide open, filled with an ever-increasing surge of hatred.
Yet, it grew weaker and weaker.
Xiao Ye stood beside Hao Duoyu, watching until he breathed his last.
Once Hao Duoyu lay lifeless on the ground, Xiao Ye plunged the black sword into his body once more.
"Heaven's will shouldn't have the power to revive you, right?"
Xiao Ye chuckled.
The surrounding humans looked bewildered as golden light blazed across the horizon.
Their roofs had collapsed, their buildings destroyed.
"Is this the end of the world?"
The pitiable citizens were lost, watching the world disintegrate.
Xiao Ye narrowed his long, slender eyes. "Let's see if the world will still be destroyed because of Hao Duoyu now that he's dead."
The system's voice emerged slowly in Xiao Ye's mind. "It won't. Hao Duoyu is thoroughly dead, and his protagonist status is no longer recognized."
Once a protagonist's status is unrecognized, their luck returns to its original state.
There are no character settings, only one's true self.
Xiao Ye said, "However, it seems the entire world won't last much longer; it's about to be destroyed too."
The blinding golden light signified the descent of the She Tian, their declaration of authority.
"Those heavenly gods saw your actions and are enraged!"
"Enraged? Are they coming to take my life?"
A nonchalant smile played on Xiao Ye's lips. After killing Hao Duoyu, he felt an immense sense of lightness.
It was as if a long-held burden had been lifted.
"Host, the power of the heavenly gods has been descending upon Blue Star for too long. This world will collapse because of their forceful presence."
"I can open a path to She Tian. You should prepare for being surrounded on all sides."
Once they reached She Tian, everyone would be an enemy.
The system looked towards the vortex in the sky, its feelings undergoing a significant shift.
Previously, it had hoped its host would escape the role of villain and clear his name on Blue Star.
But seeing She Tian's shameless actions, their intent to destroy Blue Star, the system finally snapped.
It knew Xiao Ye initially only wanted to survive; why create so many difficulties and dangers?
When it was forcefully sealed for ten years, it couldn't even help its host.
The resentment in its core burned fiercely within the system's being.
"Host, let's fight. Let's kill all enemies, even if we die doing it..."
Xiao Ye noticed a change in the system's tone and had no idea what had triggered it.
However, Xiao Ye calmly stated, "Since the heavenly gods are descending to destroy the world, why don't I destroy it myself first, and then we can ascend to She Tian and claim it for ourselves."
"Excellent! I'll do as the host says!"
The system immediately agreed.
Not far away, Gu Xiao Su and the others arrived, their eyes falling upon Hao Duoyu's corpse.
The citizens were in a state of panic as even the Alliance's structures began to collapse.
The ancestors saw the golden light in the sky and wore expressions of despair. "Blue Star is doomed; we can't save anyone."
