The Ascension of Contracted Spirits
Chapter 1363 - 522: Deities of the World, Gather at the Ghost Lamp_2
"Pepper Sea... Spicy Goddess?"
The Eighteen-Winged Angelic Canon raised her head, her eyes showing a hint of surprise:
"I heard you were nearly assimilated. If the Fallen Camp births another evil Crown Rank, the calamity of all living beings would truly be unsolvable."
"I will never follow in the footsteps of Inferior Earth!"
Spicy Goddess Diana, with a stern expression:
"He indeed gained boundless power. Among the hereditary Crown Ranks, he might be called the strongest."
"But he is merely a beast in human skin, having long lost his humanity. The weight behind the words ’Crown Rank’ is something he is no longer qualified to carry."
"This is true."
The Titan Giant God analyzed the precarious situation with utmost calmness:
"Jiu Huang, Green Vine, Divine Codex, plus you and Spicy, and myself."
"We, six gods and one crown, not at full strength, can barely hold even against Inferior Earth and his four Mad Gods."
"How can we fend off those countless Evil Gods, Calamity Gods, and Desolate Gods?"
"And those fallen deities, they do not care about their lifespan, nor about their injuries, single-mindedly pushing the world towards destruction. Even with the determination to die, how many can we kill, how many can we destroy?"
As the words fell, a deathly silence ensued.
Suddenly, a bright moon rose, its hazy moonlight resembling the gentle flow of a river:
"Indeed, the fallen side is troublesome."
"I originally thought that with the support of the three Heavenly Venerates of the New Era, the breakdown of the Heavenly Dao process could be maximally curtailed."
"Who knew, the means of ’Calamity’ were beyond imagination."
"He is not in a hurry to dismantle the territories of all heavens and myriad worlds inch by inch, nor to massacre countless beings."
"But he staunchly upholds the order of ’One Lineage Three Gods’, preventing any demigod outside the systems of Evil, Desolate, and Calamity from breaking the barriers in the chaos, attaining divinity, and joining the camp defending the Heavenly Dao."
"On the contrary, the Evil, Desolate, and Calamity he creates are like his own children."
"The number of divinities is no longer limited. As long as there is enough slaughter, pollution, and plunder... the Three Evil Gods from their side keep emerging continuously, each one being exceedingly difficult. Killing one requires guarding against its resurrection or divinity being stolen... In contrast, our deities get injured, some die, others get toyed with until they are exhausted."
"Moon God?!"
The gods were slightly disturbed, especially Green Vine Immortal, whose dim eyes suddenly brightened:
"Lord of the Floating Light Abyss... your recent battle achievements have been truly remarkable!"
"Clearly a new god of the New Era, yet fighting more ferociously than us veteran deities. With your assistance, our chances of victory rise by half a point!"
"Valley Master overly praises me."
The Moon God did not reveal his true form, only spreading moonlight, then continued:
"Before coming, I intended to travel with the ’Purple Snail Worm Woman’ of Giant Kun Valley."
"Unfortunately, she was entangled by the mad offspring of the Heavenly Venerate and couldn’t make it."
"The God of Wildmen is also busy dealing with the Mad God of the Eternal Life Pool."
The Titan Giant God added:
"And the ’Master of the Stars’ from East Sea, he is being chased by the wrathful male god and the infatuated female god who escaped from the Four Seas Divine Pool, it is uncertain if he is still alive."
"Alas!"
Green Vine Immortal sighed, worry returning to his face:
"Could it be that only we are left?"
"I heard that new gods have risen in Totem Tomb and Broken Instrument Valley, and even in the remnants of the Realm of Desire, there is the figure of Ginseng Marshal."
"And the Flash Alliance, Grey Sun God Church, Mechanic God Mountain... these forces, whether new or old, if they do not lend their full support, how can we survive the life and death crisis of all heavens and myriad worlds?"
"Leader of Wooden God Mountain, stop mumbling, how could I not come?"
From the western mudlands, the soil broke open, and a small beast grew larger against the wind, in the blink of an eye becoming a large ginseng.
He floated in mid-air, while countless roots sprouted from the ground, resembling vines and snakes, emitting strange hisses, exhibiting unparalleled divinity.
"Ginseng Marshal? Newly ascended Medicine God?"
The Titan Giant God raised his thick eyebrows, slightly puzzled:
"The Earth Immortals of the Ancients had contract spirits that looked like this..."
"Ah, ah, ah! How many times do I have to say it? I only temporarily stayed in the Realm of Desire before. I am an Earth Immortal’s descendant, naturally the Guardian Deity of Flower God Valley!"
The Ginseng Marshal scratched all over in anger, his tone rising sharply:
"Our Valley Master suddenly went missing. After much thought, it’s definitely because that one emerged, summoning her without a word. It’s too much!"
"With Him here, stop worrying needlessly about disasters. In the face of catastrophe, it’s just a matter of life or death!"
"It’s rare for us Divine Enthronements to work together wholeheartedly. We fight to the death! Who hasn’t crawled out from piles of corpses? I’ve retreated from the Realm of Desire and guarded the Solar Abyss with the remnants of Flower God Valley all these years. What Evil God haven’t I seen? Since we’ve survived, we must live to the next epoch and make that Calamity God regret it forever!"
"Is that one the contract spirit of the Hanba God?"
Spicy Goddess Diana, choosing her words carefully, suddenly asked:
"There are rumors that He also contracted a sword-shaped Thunder God. One Crown and Two Gods, comparable to the Lord of Mechanic God Mountain."
"He disappeared for a long time. These years, He hasn’t contributed to the world at all. I thought something unexpected had happened to Him."
"Him? A Crown Rank?"
The Ginseng Marshal was startled, wanting to refute, but considering their current situation, he reluctantly said:
"It wasn’t so before... but now it probably is...
"I don’t know how strong He is now either..."
"But, I gained my divinity from Him, so He must be more reliable than imagined..."
As he spoke, the Ginseng Marshal changed the subject, mentioning another matter:
"The remaining forces from the Solar Abyss, Flower God Valley, and the Realm of Desire are all converging here."
"Although in this battle of guarding the abyss, even Divine Enthronement might not qualify. It requires leaders of the Heavenly Venerate tier."
"But following the evil will, not only the Three Evil Gods and the Fallen God are arriving, numerous unenthroned Evil Beasts, Wild Beasts, and Disaster Beasts too... they must be dealt with properly. Otherwise, they will become mere nutrition for the higher-ranking ones, healing their wounds, making it harder for us...
"Exactly!"
The Titan Giant God nodded in agreement:
"The remnant forces from Giant Valley have all come out and surrounded the other entrances of Ghost Lamp Abyss, constructing the Giant Wall, to resist the corruption of the Fallen."
"I have a premonition that this battle is critical, directly determining our future fate."
"Everyone, if your subordinates have reached the Supreme Saint tier and can still fight, do not hide them."
"If Ghost Lamp Abyss becomes tainted, and those three Heavenly Venerates fall, our existence’s meaning is solely in Calamity’s whim."
"Hm?!"
As the communication continued, the Titan Giant God suddenly stopped, his eyes shifting towards the entrance of the Long Night Corridor:
"Who is there spying? Come out!"
With that, he restrained his inner frenzy and battle lust, like a wildfire, fiercely erupting.
A shadow evaded to the side, then stood up straight, transforming into a mirror. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
On that smooth mirror surface, neither vegetation nor sky and earth were reflected, only the fierce gaze of the Titan Giant God was mirrored.
"It’s you! Mirror God!"
The Titan Giant God’s heart skipped a beat, throwing a powerful punch and stepping forward with a mountain-crushing foot, his combat power bursting at twelvefold:
"Years ago, there was a rumor of a new lord in the Mirror Realm, known as Mirror God. We thought it was the descendant inheriting the legacy of the Ancient Cosmos’s great Mirror God..."
"Never could we have imagined, your true form is an Evil God, deceiving an entire realm with false visage and aura, leading to the Three Evil Gods attacking the Heavenly Venerate, and eventually merging and evolving into Calamity... all conducted in the Mirror Realm. You sacrificed an entire world, committing heinous crimes, destroying countless lives!
"Hehehe... our supreme aided you by exterminating the Ancient Heavenly Venerate that was raising you. Not only do you not show gratitude, but you also repay evil for good. You truly deserve to die..."
Within the mirror, the image of the Titan Giant God abruptly halted.
In an instant, the frenzied Titan Giant God, whether punching or stomping, found his strength reduced by half.
The Hundred-Refined Phoenix Queen, the Green Vine Immortal, and the Eighteen-Winged Divine Codex Angel... their eyes sharpened, ready to join the battle at once.
However, the poisonous miasma spread wildly, and the distant sky quickly darkened. Wave after wave of black clouds, seemingly the convergence of countless Evil Gods, laughed and roared, transforming into a tide, threatening to overturn everything here!
