Chapter 843 - 203: Shadow of World Extinction
Faced with Dawn’s unexpected tactics, Han Zhan and the others felt a sudden darkness before their eyes.
By the time they wanted to do something, their vision had returned.
Between this darkness and brightness, the scene before them had undergone a dramatic change.
"Where is this?!"
Bright stars filled the entire Star Sea, each one nurturing life.
Starships sped across the cosmos.
In addition, there were space stations, asteroid clusters, dust belts, stars...
When these simultaneously appeared before their eyes, a word flashed through Han Zhan’s mind.
Bustling.
Yes, bustling.
Unlike the silent Cosmic Star Sea, this Star Sea was very lively.
Stars shining brightly, myriad races coexisting.
Did Dawn teleport them here for a special purpose?
"Ah Zhan, our nanometer starship is missing," Shang Siteng suddenly reminded.
Before she could say more, a sudden drastic change occurred.
A star dimmed abruptly right before their eyes.
Then two, three, four...
The once radiant planets turned into a state of desolate darkness in the blink of an eye.
They clearly saw a pair of extremely dark giant hands gripping star after star!
More and more darkness loomed.
These planets dimmed one by one as if their lights had gone out.
Finally, among the myriad stars inhabited by races, many reacted.
Starships, representing ultra-high-tech creations, launched from guard stars.
Destruction attacks of obliteration energy poured towards the intangible dark giant hands.
Alien species with odd appearances flew from their home planets, their bodies emanating green light.
As more of their kind gathered, the green light they generated transformed into a giant net, casting it to envelope the intangible dark giant hands.
There were many such scenes.
Yet all their efforts and struggles were in vain.
The intangible dark giant hands continued forward, swallowing more planets, including those fighting fiercely from numerous celestial races.
Until myriad stars were extinguished.
The black, intangible giant hands as large as the cosmos continued forward, seemingly about to swallow Han Zhan and the others along with the universe’s end.
But in the next second, the dark intangible giant hands passed through them.
They weren’t devoured.
"We... don’t seem to belong to this world," Shang Siteng said the words she hadn’t managed to utter earlier.
"Everything we see is nothing but an illusion."
"Did Dawn bring us here just to let us witness this shadow of world destruction?"
The Contracted Spirit Girls puzzledly discussed, while Han Zhan remained silent without speaking.
At this moment, as the entire Star Sea turned utterly dead, a grand voice suddenly resounded in everyone’s ears.
The sound was like countless layers, making anyone instinctively feel uneasy, nauseous, wanting to vomit upon hearing it.
The Contracted Spirit Girls furrowed their brows, unable to understand what that grand voice was saying.
Only Han Zhan.
As he heard the voice, his soul shivered uncontrollably.
Because he understood!
He also recognized the owner of the voice, undoubtedly, absolutely no mistake!
The Creator God!
This was the voice of the Creator God!
When translated, what it said was:
—— Yao Black Eternal!
Yao Black, Creator God, End.
As these terms appeared in Han Zhan’s mind, he felt as if he’d been struck by a heavy club, experiencing dizzying, swelling confusion.
He shook his head vigorously, wanting to escape this state.
Han Zhan’s anomaly drew concern from the nearby Contracted Spirit Girls.
"Ah Zhan, are you okay?"
"Did something happen, did those sounds cause you mental harm?"
Inquiries filled with concern rang out.
Han Zhan pressed his temple with one hand and shook his head.
Before he could say anything.
The scene before him changed once again.
It remained a peaceful, harmonious Star Sea, still myriad races coexisting, thriving.
This time, the shadow of world destruction appeared as a sweeping destructive hurricane over the Star Sea.
Myriad races struggled, resisted, fought desperately.
Then failed, vanishing into dead silence.
In the end, it was still the sentence spoken by different voices—— Yao Black Eternal!
Han Zhan and the others watched the dying silence of different Star Seas as if watching slides, gradually starting to understand what Dawn wanted him to see.
The speed of slide presentations increased.
Finally, Han Zhan saw an expected yet unexpected scene.
This time, the number of stars was drastically reduced.
But each star was incredibly massive, hundreds of times larger than what they’d seen before.
On these stars lived potent celestial races, their power rivaling that of Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses with mere gestures.
And this time, the shadow of world destruction appeared as a tree!
An incredibly massive tree.
It radiated sacred, resplendent brilliance, occupying the entire Star Sea the moment it appeared.
Countless branches extended and explored from the tree, easily piercing stars like balloons.
Then, these branches wrapped around the shattered stars, dragged them back to their main body, the sky-reaching tree.
Those stars hung under the tree branches.
Like crystal clear fruits.
The Star Sea turned into dead silence.
Numerous corpses of mighty beings penetrated by branches drifted in the cosmos.
The grand voice rang out again in their ears.
Yao Black Eternal!
This time, without Han Zhan having to explain anything, the Contracted Spirit Girls entirely understood.
The shadow of world destruction in that previous scene was none other than the guardian god of Blue Star, the World Tree?!
So, the Fruit World atop the World Tree was obtained this way?!
This scene deeply shocked everyone.
The scenes ended here.
Before them was darkness once again, then restored.
They were still on the nanometer starship, hadn’t gone anywhere.
Before them lay the Star Sea after the Water Planet returned to void, where nothing existed.
What they saw earlier seemed just like a dream, a nightmare overturning their perception!
No trace of Dawn remained around them.
Its purpose had been fulfilled.
It informed Han Zhan and the others: the World Tree is the mastermind behind world destruction, a terrifying entity robbing planets.
Even it might be one of the Yao Black members.
No, perhaps all Creator Gods are Yao Black members!
"Ah Zhan, what should we do..."
Li Lingzhen wasn’t aware that when she asked this, her voice quivered slightly.
Finding out the true threat might be the trusted and relied upon deity itself produced an enormous shock.
Han Zhan shook his head.
"Let’s return first." He made a silence gesture, stopping the girls from speaking further.
"This is just Dawn’s one-sided narrative, maybe it was even sowing discord."
"Besides, we can’t possibly abandon all the people of Blue Star and flee, can we?"
