Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 195: The Picture of the Future, Twilight of the Gods

"You wish to gain insight into my Great Heart Demon Technique?"

At this moment, the Lord of Heart Demons seemed to see through Gu Chuan's thoughts and immediately shouted, "I tell you, this is absolutely impossible!

Only I can control the power of the Heart Demon.

No matter how talented other demon gods may be, it is impossible for them to comprehend the Great Heart Demon Technique. So abandon such futile hopes."

It roared at Gu Chuan.

"Who knows? How can you be certain unless I try?"

Gu Chuan smiled slightly, unfazed.

"You damn bastard!"

Seeing Gu Chuan's indifferent attitude, the Lord of Heart Demons was enraged. Yet, it was powerless to stop Gu Chuan from studying the Great Heart Demon Technique. In frustration, it bellowed, "Master of Chaos City, don't think you've won this time! Sealing me away will only bring catastrophe upon you!

I have already prepared a contingency plan.

The moment I am captured, the entire Chaos World will suffer a terrible disaster.

If you are wise, release me now! Otherwise, by the time you regret it, it will already be too late."

It attempted to intimidate Gu Chuan.

If this wretched being truly succeeds in developing the Great Heart Demon Technique, I will be doomed, it thought. Even though it found it hard to believe that Gu Chuan could achieve such a feat, the mere possibility was terrifying.

"Oh? A contingency plan? What kind?"

Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes. He could tell that the Lord of Heart Demons was not bluffing—it was speaking the truth. After all, this was a unique and enigmatic demon god, one who could be considered the Chaos Demon God with the most secrets.

No one knew what trump cards or hidden means it possessed.

"Heh, I won't tell you.

Release me, and the catastrophe will be averted. You may weigh your options yourself."

The Lord of Heart Demons sneered.

"Since you won't speak, let me take a look into your soul instead."

Gu Chuan gazed at the Lord of Heart Demons indifferently, raising his hand and tapping lightly upon it, casting the Great Soul Technique.

This supernatural technique not only creates souls but can also extract their memories. Its applications are limitless.

Rumble!

In an instant, Gu Chuan gained access to the boundless memories of the Lord of Heart Demons. These memories were chaotic and disordered, fragments of its past when it moved among the great Chaos Demon Gods.

Such an immense influx of information would have shattered the mind of an ordinary demon god. Yet, to Gu Chuan, it was nothing—these memories didn't even occupy a ten-thousandth of his cognitive capacity.

"Hmm? No memories?"

Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes. He had scoured the Lord of Heart Demons' memories yet found nothing, as though they had already been erased long ago.

"Haha! Foolish Master of Chaos City! Your efforts are in vain!"

The Lord of Heart Demons laughed smugly. "In anticipation of this very scenario, I erased the memory from my mind long ago. Even I do not know what my contingency plan is! You will gain nothing from my soul!"

"You don't even know your own contingency plan, yet you dare to threaten me?"

Gu Chuan looked at the Lord of Heart Demons with an exasperated expression.

"What do you know, fool? My contingency plan is designed to activate only in the event of my death or capture!

As long as I live, it remains dormant. That is my ultimate failsafe!"

The Lord of Heart Demons roared, its voice unwavering. Even though it had no recollection of its own backup plan, it was utterly convinced of its terrifying nature.

"Interesting... Then let's deduce it."

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed. Even if he had no clues now, he could simply observe the Picture of the Future. By glimpsing into what was to come, he could uncover the true mastermind behind the Lord of Heart Demons.

Boom!

In an instant, the Chaos Eight Trigrams Technique within the depths of his mind began to operate. It had nearly reached the level of the Dao of Calculation, and his soul drifted into the great river of fate.

Immediately, countless fragments of the future surfaced within his consciousness. His soul traversed across time, witnessing endless changes yet to come.

"No... Not this moment... Nor this one... It must be further in the future..."

Gu Chuan was immersed in the infinite fragments of time, spanning countless years in an instant.

He continued deducing, tracing the threads of fate deeper and deeper.

Then—

Boom!

At the climax of his deductions, Gu Chuan's consciousness arrived at a distant point in the future. Darkness reigned supreme, as though he had reached the Twilight of the Gods.

The entire Chaotic Void was suffused with the aura of destruction. It seemed as though all Chaos Demon Gods had perished, the air thick with the scent of death. Nothing remained.

Cities lay in ruins.

Entire races had been wiped out.

Demon gods had fallen like withered leaves.

Even Chaos City—the very heart of his domain—had shattered, torn asunder, reduced to nothing but dust and rubble.

"What... happened?"

Gu Chuan's gaze sharpened. He had glimpsed Twilight of the Gods—the end of everything.

The words of the Lord of Heart Demons were no mere threats. They were the truth.

But what could have led to such devastation? What catastrophe had caused the fall of all gods and the extinction of all things?

He channeled the Chaos Eight Trigrams Technique further, trying to peer deeper into the truth of the future.

Boom!

A terrible force suddenly struck his soul—a power of destruction so great that even Gu Chuan, for all his might, was unable to resist it.

This was the Backlash of the Chaos Source!

"Damn it!"

In an instant, Gu Chuan severed his connection with the river of fate, breaking free from the deduction.

But it was too late. The backlash had already struck.

Boom!

His Primordial Ancient Serpent Body trembled violently, and his soul suffered a grievous wound. Blood spurted from his mouth.

This was the most severe injury he had ever suffered. Since the moment of his birth, he had never endured such a wound. Yet now, struck by the backlash of the Chaos Source, he had been critically injured.

"Hahaha! You arrogant fool!"

The Lord of Heart Demons laughed heartily, reveling in his suffering. "Did you truly think you could gaze into the future unscathed? Now you've been wounded by the Chaos Source itself! You won't recover for years!"

But Gu Chuan ignored its mockery.

Despite his injuries, his eyes burned with determination.

"The Door... It is a door. A door that brings forth the Twilight of the Gods!"

In his vision, he had seen it—a mysterious Door.

It was this Door that heralded Ragnarok, bringing about the fall of all gods, the extinction of all things, and the total annihilation of the Chaotic Void.

But what was this Door?

A terrifying force had obscured its true nature, warping time and space itself, preventing him from perceiving its secrets.

Yet, one thing was clear—

It was the key to everything.
