The fruit was probably a part of the Immortal King’s brand left behind by Geresco. However, he didn’t know if it would still have memories of Geresco or the Immortal King after it ripened. Perhaps it would be a brand-new life that had completely bidden farewell to the past.
Lin Li withdrew his gaze, and turned to the Endless Void, where a speck of light was flickering millions of kilometres away in the spot where the people in Anril were fighting against the invading creatures from the spacetime rifts. Although Lin Li could not see the situation in Anril, he could sense the scenes of what was happening there through the power of faith that was full of hope.
Although Lin Li had successfully ignited the Divine Fire after obtaining Geresco’s seal, he was still far from reaching the realm of nothingness which was beyond the supreme law that Geresco yearned for. However, even so, the menacing prehistoric magical beasts or the Titans that had once dominated the world for a period of time were just like ants to Lin Li now.
After igniting the Divine Fire, Lin Li could already easily use the seven pieces of the debris of the stars in unison, and launching them together would not be as difficult as before. Even the powerful Geresco was defeated by the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, not to mention existences like those prehistoric magical beasts and so on.
Of course, with Lin Li’s current strength, it would only take a snap of his fingers to destroy those prehistoric magical beasts even without the use of the Stars of Fury and debris of the stars. He was now a true god, and what Geresco had left him was not just a mark and memory to make up for the flaws of his soul..
In the blink of an eye, the City of Destruction had been completely restored to its original form, or rather it had become even more powerful than before. After the burning of the Fire of Faith, the impurities of the entire City of Destruction were completely extracted together with all the defects and hidden dangers in the construction. The City of Destruction was now a truly powerful artifact-level weapon that only the gods could use. It was a city of gods.
Initially, Lin Li thought that the City of Destruction could be left to the Tower of Dusk so that the Tower of Dusk could become a force like the Supreme Council. However, the City of Destruction had now become something that mortals couldn’t control. Even its descent into Anril might cause a turmoil, so it was obviously not suitable for the Tower of Dusk.
However, the good thing was that the Tower of Dusk still had the Eternal Furnace, which, although not comparable to the Sky Castle, was a top magic fortress in Anril.
It’s time to take care of those bugs that invaded Anril! Lin Li turned around to leave, but he suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look in another direction of the void.
“Come out, you’ve been snooping around there for a long time,” Lin Li said indifferently to the void.
With Lin Li’s voice, a ripple violently rose in that void, followed by an extremely large palace that squeezed into the void from the ripple. The gilded and resplendent palace was 1,000 feet tall and almost as huge as the Breezy Plains. It was like a golden world floating in the void.
When the huge golden palace appeared in the void, the dazzling golden light immediately illuminated it. Compared to the sun that had been shining on Anril for thousands of years, it was much brighter and even more dazzling. There were more than 10 giants standing in a square in front of the gate of the golden palace. They were wrapped in intertwining rays of lightning and holding large pillar-like spears in hand.
Titans’ Pantheon! When Lin Li saw the appearance of the visitors, he immediately thought of that legend from the prehistoric times. The ancient wyrms and the Titans had fought for supremacy in Anril, and the countless battles resulted in a double loss, with the remaining descendants of the ancient wyrms disappearing in the dragon’s tomb, while the Titans vanished from Anril along with the Pantheon.
The Pantheon of the Titans was not for ancient gods or any gods because they called themselves gods, and thus the Pantheon wasn’t for them. The remaining Titans who had survived since the prehistoric times were not the only ones in the Pantheon. There were also the spirits of the Titans who had fallen in the great wars, which was also the reason that the gods did not dare to underestimate this palace.
At this moment, the leading Titan standing in the square of the Pantheon, who was much larger and stronger than his counterparts, was looking down at Lin Li from afar. With an arrogant smile, he said, “This is really a wonderful show, I never thought that Geresco, who was titled the god of gods, would eventually fall in the hands of an ant like you.”
To the Titans, especially those who had the powerful Pantheon, Lin Li who had just ignited the Divine Fire simply didn’t pose any threat at all. Since the prehistoric times, more gods had fallen at the hands of the Titans than there were grains of sand on the beach. Thus, in their eyes, Lin Li, a god whose Divine Fire had just been ignited, was actually not too different from those nobodies.
Hearing the Titan’s words, Lin Li wasn’t angered at all, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, “The fact that you’ve been hiding from Geresco for thousands of years is indeed a remarkable achievement. Unfortunately, however, you shouldn’t have come out at this time. Although I don’t want to inherit any of Geresco’s legacy, I don’t mind fulfilling a small wish for him since I’ve run into you now.”
While speaking, Lin Li raised the Stars of Fury in his hand, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars landed on it, after which a brilliant light enveloped the Stars of Fury.
Without giving those Titans a chance to speak any further, Lin Li pulled the crossbow, and the light from the fusion of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars instantly shot towards that majestic and large gilded palace.
It was only at this time that those Titans, who had originally planned to come out and get some advantages, realized what a terrifying enemy they were facing. The power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars seemed to have made time stop in its tracks with a terrifying aura that seemed to be capable of destroying everything. It also made the Titans feel a strong sense of fear that they could hardly curb.
At this moment, countless Titan spirits emerged from the Pantheon, waving their Thunderbolt Titan Dragon Spears while flying out of the Pantheon, and charging towards the light of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars fearlessly.
The purpose of the existence of the Titan spirits was to guard the Titans’ Pantheon, and any attack on the Pantheon would trigger a counterattack from them. These existences had transcended life and death, and thus were completely fearless. They had no other thoughts in mind as all that they were focused on was their mission to guard the Pantheon against all odds. In fact, it could even be considered an instinct of theirs.
In terms of combat power, the Titan Spirits in the Pantheon were much more powerful than the living Titans, and it was because of their existence that the gods did not dare to strike the Pantheon, thus allowing the existence of the Titans to continue to this day. They even managed to escape Geresco’s pursuit again and again.
However, in the face of the light of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, those powerful Titan spirits dissipated one by one in the void like moths throwing themselves in fire before they could even come close. Hundreds and thousands of Titan Spirits that the Titans had accumulated over tens of millennia dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, the light of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars darted towards the Titans in the square without pausing at all. Those Titans were almost defenseless, and they exploded into a mass of flying ashes when the light passed by, as if they were made of sand.
BOOM!
The light from the seven pieces of the debris of the stars finally shot into the majestic Pantheon, and with a loud roar that caused the void to shake, the massive golden palace crumbled and fell apart.
“Ant?” Lin Li waved his hand, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars flew back to his side, after which a huge vortex appeared in the void, and swallowed Pantheon together with the many remains of the Titans in the blink of an eye.
Lin Li then reached out again, and grasped something in the void next to him. A huge rift opened to reveal a sea of endless flames, after which an ancient wyrm that was engulfed in fire was grabbed and pulled out.
“Who is it that’s disturbing my sleep!?” After the ancient wyrm appeared in the void, it seemed to have been jolted awake as it let out a roar of fury.
However, Lin Li was unbothered by the ancient wyrm’s roar, and he coldly said, “Enough, Lothar, stop pretending, or else I don’t mind going to your dragon’s tomb and getting rid of everything related to you wyrms from this world.”
Hearing Lin Li’s words, the Flame Dragon Lothar’s body trembled slightly, and it turned to look at Lin Li who had caught him and pulled him out of the Fire Elemental World. In a vaguely fawning tone, he said, “So it’s you, I didn’t expect you to have made such great achievements now. I merely came over to take a look because I felt the smell of those filthy Titans. I didn’t have any other ideas!”
“Regardless of whether you did or not, just keep hibernating since you’ve been sleeping in the Fire Elemental World for so many years.” Lin Li didn’t even bother to listen to Lothar’s explanation, and simply raised his hand to draw a mageweath in the void, and punched Lothar’s body.
Lothar, who was once the top powerhouse of the ancient wyrms, was almost rendered defenseless, and fell into a deep slumber once again after Lin Li’s mageweath struck his torso. However, he couldn’t control when he would wake up this time. It might be in 10,000 years, 100,000 years, or he might stay asleep for the rest of his life.
After throwing the sleeping Flame Dragon Lothar back into the Fire Elemental World, Lin Li once again turned in the direction of Anril, and pointed his hand at it, after which the seven pieces of the debris of the stars shot away and disappeared in an instant.
Almost at the same time, drastic changes occurred in Anril. The sanguine sky was suddenly replaced by endless sacred light, which caused the world, which was previously riddled with holes, to be restored to its original state rapidly, as if time was rewinding.
The spatial rifts that had been opened in the sky and the depths of the earth were quickly sealed at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. As a result, the prehistoric magical beasts that were charging into Anril through the spacetime rifts were somewhat confused and puzzled as to what the changes meant.
However, immediately afterwards, a Divine Punishment descended!
Yes, for everyone in Anril, it was a Divine Punishment because it was a baptism of the entire world that could not be carried out by mortals.
Meteors fell from the sky, each being an aggregation of a powerful force. Some emitted Divine Power, while some emitted Dark Force. There were also some that emitted all kinds of elemental power. The meteors then charged straight towards the prehistoric magical beasts that invaded Anril, as if they had grown a pair of eyes.
In front of the defense line in the Sunset Mountains, Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine, High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, and the generals of two kingdoms stood on the high defensive walls, quietly watching everything that was happening in front of them. However, they couldn’t calm the shock and agitation in their hearts, and some even got on their knees to kneel to the god that had sent the Divine Punishment with extreme devotion and dedication of their faith.
The Black Current in front of the defense line was already in complete chaos. Under the shock of that divine might, even the prehistoric magical beasts seemed to be losing their balance. Each meteor that landed on the Black Current made the prehistoric magical beasts vanish without a trace, regardless of their strength.
Some Titans landed on Doland, and destroyed it while surrounding the Tower of Dusk which had the Eternal Furnace. However, just a moment before the sky of Anril changed, several Titans looked at a certain spot in the sky in confusion, seemingly having sensed the loss of something. However, before they could go berserk because of it, the Divine Punishment descending from the sky had already fallen on them.
Several Titans roared at the sky, and exerted all the power they had to receive the Divine Punishment fearlessly. However, in the face of the Divine Punishment, the Titans who once dominated the Anril were just like ants, and were instantly overwhelmed by it. Next, with the destruction of the Pantheon, they died without the opportunity to become spirits, and simply vanished from the world.
The Divine Punishment, which lasted for several hours, began to dissipate. The brand-new atmosphere of Anril, which had been baptized by the Divine Punishment, was revealed to the world. It was just like a brand-new world, with rich magic elements and a thriving vitality.
Under the power of Lin Li, the laws of Anril were completely restored after the disaster. The imbalance in laws caused by the collapse of the Tree of Eternity had vanished, and the space had become stabler than ever. Although the vast majority of people would not know what exactly had changed in Anril, every single person, even an ordinary one who did not have any special power, could sense the difference in the world at this moment.
