The Era of Gods-Chapter 685 Each Escapes on Their Own

A rule set that is unique to oneself is similar to a True God’s Godhood and is one of the prerequisites necessary to become an Ancestor, after all, the powers wielded by an Ancestor are sublimated from the rules unique to oneself.

Although Lin Xiao now masters the Time Law, he only possesses fifty percent of it. Unless he can fully master all of the Time Law, it’s impossible to use it as his unique rule, preventing him from using it to ascend to Ancestry.

Reviewing the rules he currently masters—time, matter, balance, creation, truth, life, magic, black hole, reincarnation, as well as the Dream Law obtained from his wife, Tishar.

Among them, time and matter are incomplete, definitely unable to be used for ascending to Ancestry.

Magic does not exist in the Wizard World, making it impossible to be used for ascension to Ancestry as well.

Creation and Truth are indeed strong and qualified enough, but their scope is too broad. Even now, his mastery of them is less than fifty percent, which makes them unusable in the short term; they can only be kept as alternates.

Strictly speaking, balance and reincarnation are the same as creation and truth—all very strong rules, but the degree of mastery is insufficient.

This is also a side effect of his strength growing too fast; not enough time for accumulation. While he has enough Divine Power, he lacks the accumulation of rules.

When he obtains the All-Embracing Progenitor’s Relic and returns to the Main World, unless he ascends directly to Ancestry in one step, he will have to reconvene his Godhood in the Main World; his strength will be limited to the Medium Divine Power limit of God Level 14. Perhaps with his true combat power, he could easily defeat some who have just ascended or lack accumulation of Powerful Divine Power, but he absolutely cannot exceed God Level 14.

But again, it’s a matter of accumulation, and time will solve everything.

Take it slow, as long as his understanding of the Main Deity Position is up to standard, he can immediately ascend to Powerful Divine Power.

Moreover, with the continuous power he now gains from the Dream Ancestor Mark, he won’t face any bottlenecks in Divine Power before advancing to Super Divine Power of God Level 19.

Maybe the accumulation of rules is somewhat slow, but these are minor issues. Compared to others, his speed of ascension is already like riding a rocket.

Lin Xiao did not deny the Mushroom Men’s misconception that he was the Nightmare World’s Sealer; after all, his current actions were no different from that of the Nightmare Sealer. He didn’t respond, but continued to push himself into this world that was constantly resisting him.

Seeing that communication was ineffective, the stronger Mushroom Men gave up on trying to communicate. The strongest being from the Biphosphorus clan of the Fungus World immediately communicated with the world’s will, and the energy of heaven and earth within thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers around her quickly heeded her call, as invisible forces rapidly converged towards this location.

The power exerted by the world’s will with or without the stimulation of a World Guardian is utterly incomparable. The world’s will is only a collective of general consciousness, it lacks independent consciousness. Its suppression of him is merely an instinctive resistance, crudely mobilizing the world’s power to suppress.

However, when stimulated by a World Guardian, the same power can be used in alternative ways to exert pressure on him, causing the pressure to multiply instantaneously.

Lin Xiao, who was slowly tearing open the spatial rift and descending, immediately found himself being blocked; the existing strength was not enough to continue his descent. He needed to increase his strength in order to keep descending.

But the other three Rank 7 Mushroom Man Emperors were certainly not just spectating; they practically didn’t hesitate to take action.

The Black Gold Tree Emperor, who had long been gathering his power, merged his two arms into one, making it thicker and longer, and swung it out. The branch-like arms stretched out tens of thousands of meters long and heavily struck towards the upper half of the Golden Giant God, who appeared as if he were perched on a railing.

Lin Xiao pointed with his other hand:

"Boom!"

A wave of air exploded, and the Black Gold Tree Emperor’s extremely tough branches were crushed by an invisible force layer by layer, breaking into pieces that were sent flying by the blast.

In almost the blink of an eye, nearly a three-hundred-meter section of branch was shattered, and the subsequent long piece of branch visibly cracked. But as the Black Gold Tree Emperor roared, a faint green aura spurted from his body, and the cracked branches healed and reformed.

At the same time, another Biphosphorus clan member transformed into a colorful light orb and flew towards the Golden Giant God, opening its mouth from a distance to emit a long, piercing screech. A wave of invisible ultrasonic spread out, and during the screech, the eyes of the Golden Giant God gradually became confused, and his movements suddenly paused.

Seeing this move to be effective, another Rank 8 Biphosphorus also opened its mouth and let out an even sharper long howl, spreading more powerful sound waves. The Golden Giant God’s gaze became even more perplexed, and his actions more sluggish.

"Now’s the time!"

Seizing this opportunity, the last Emperor, who looked like a centipede with a body thousands of meters long, adorned with leaf-like wings on its tough-armor back, rapidly flapped its wings and took off, speeding towards the Golden Giant God with incredible velocity.

Midway, his body quickly twisted, forming a huge rope ball, and with a fierce flap of its wings, it clashed violently with the Golden Giant God, whose lower half was already being pulled back into the spatial rift.

One thousand meters...

Five hundred meters...

Three hundred meters...

One hundred meters, so close it could clearly see the increasingly mocking smile on the Golden Giant God’s face that resembled a golden sculpture.

"Not good, dodge!"

A warning came from behind, and the Emperor resembling a centipede, who saw the now-clear and mocking Golden Giant God who was looking at him just up ahead, took a deep breath. He mobilized all his strength, and black smoke burst out from all around his body. It alighted into black flames, turning into a burning meteor that plummeted towards the Golden Giant God...

A hand of the Golden Giant God tore through the viscous void, leaving a breathtaking trajectory in space as it fiercely grabbed at the incoming burning meteor.

The burning meteor, attempting to evade, followed its trajectory. However, within that large hand, space began to rapidly collapse inward. Its trajectory didn’t veer into the distance but instead plunged directly into the palm, firmly caught and unable to move.

Unable to break free or revert to its original shape, it remained spherical, firmly caught by the Golden Giant God’s terrifyingly attractive palm, and to the horror of all spectators, it was pulled towards the center of his palm, shrinking more and more until it disappeared into the palm completely.

"He... has fallen!"

The surviving three Mushroom World powerhouses were horrified. The Black Gold Tree Emperor, in particular, clumsily retracted the branches he had extended, whispering to the strongest among them:

"Your Majesty, this is definitely not an ordinary Nightmare Sealer, there’s a great chance that it is one of the strongest among the Nightmare Sealers or Disaster Lords, we cannot hold them off."

The one who was addressed as ’Your Majesty,’ the Rank 8 Biphosphorus, was silent for a moment before suddenly shouting loudly toward the distant sky behind him:

"What are you waiting for, if we die, you won’t survive either."

Ripples emerged in the void as three figures stepped out from within. They were the three heads of the True Underworld Council.

Without glancing at the Clan Leader Biphosphorus, all of them looked at Lin Xiao with grave expressions. Eugene said in a low voice:

"He is more powerful than we imagined! I am not confident."

Jacob nodded and said to Marsha:

"Do you think our move can deal with him?"

Marsha shook her head:

"I can’t be sure, we don’t even know if the strength he is showing now is his real strength, especially since he just effortlessly killed a powerhouse at the same Rank as us by concealing his true power."

"Then what should we do?"

At this moment, Jacob was indecisive. He turned to Eugene and asked:

"You always have the most ideas, what do you think we should do?"

Eugene said with a bitter smile:

"Don’t look at me like that, I have never dealt with such a strong expert before. If we miscalculate and make a mistake, we could all die here."

The three fell silent.

While they remained silent, the three strong ones from the Mushroom Men’s world were restless. They had already retreated together, and apart from Clan Leader Biphosphorus who could still use the World Origin Force to suppress, buying as much time as possible, it looked like the other two Mushroom Men were not willing to continue the fight.

Neither side dared to make a move, and the standoff continued.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao smiled slightly. Although they could not stop him whether they fought or not, saving some effort was still good.

It wasn’t a matter of underestimating them, but having inherited all the Rules from his True Body and mastered half the Time Law and Black Hole Talent, not mentioning holding the Dream Ancestor Mark. At crucial moments, he could even borrow some of Tishar’s power—his true strength had already surpassed that of a typical late-stage Rank 8 being. Even the strongest among the so-called Nightmare Sealers or Disaster Lords from the Nightmare World would probably be no match for him.

Normally, a powerful world with one Rank 8 World Guardian and a few Rank 7 powerhouses could fend off the Nightmare Sealers of the Nightmare World before the Nightmare descends, but unfortunately, his strength was anything but normal.

"Dragging it out isn’t a solution; he will descend eventually."

Jacob said in a low voice:

"If we don’t dare to make a move, then let’s leave."

"Go where?"

Jacob gave Eugene a look and said:

"How come you’re so dull today when you’re usually so clever? Where can we go? Do you dare to return?"

Eugene, unusually not retaliating or getting angry, said to his companions:

"Let’s return to the Main World where our superiors reside. Although we would lose the position of being world heads, we can preserve our lives. Moreover, with our current Rank 7 strength, we would be second-tier powerhouses in the higher world. The three of us working together could easily become the dominating force."

"I agree!"

Jacob immediately agreed without any hesitation. Marsha stretched out her hand, showing a peculiar mark in her palm that emitted faint, smoke-like fluctuations, immediately attracting the attention of Jacob and Eugene.

Eugene sighed and said:

"The strength contained in this True Underworld Mark is powerful, but it’s not from the original True Underworld Ancestor’s power, as it’s been split once already. I estimate it’s unlikely to kill him. If we can’t kill him, any action we take is meaningless. Since we dare not go back to the Wizard World, we have no choice but to flee."

"Let’s go!"

With a clasp of Marsha’s hand, the smoke-like fluctuations vanished, and the three figures disappeared like bubbles.

Once the three left, Biphosphorus, who had been exerting World Source Energy to suppress the Golden Giant God, immediately noticed the difference. He snorted coldly:

"Other Races are so unreliable."

He said to his surviving kin and the Black Gold Tree Emperor, Wal:

"Immediately go back and gather the elite of all races to prepare for evacuation to the Refuge World. I can fully suppress him for half a month to prevent his descent. After half a month, I will leave for the refuge myself."

Biphosphorus and the Black Gold Tree Emperor were well aware of the current situation. They saluted the Clan Leader Biphosphorus without wasting words and turned to depart.
