Chapter 3114: Chapter 640: A Fleeting Century
Netherworld Ancestor put down the "Sorren Quotations".
Being lost does not mean total extinction; there is still a chance to save oneself.
Hera is still in this Universe, just hasn’t been found yet.
"At least you care somewhat."
Netherworld Ancestor snorted lightly.
...
The Abyss Worm that was on the move stopped for now.
Intelligence came from the frontlines.
Nightmare suffered a crushing defeat, the two Supremes fled with less than two hundred Kings.
Judging from the battlefield, Nora and the Underworld didn’t lose much.
The Chaotic Servant was a bit confused.
"That’s it? It’s over?"
I was planning to reap the spoils while they both battered each other bloody.
Now, that’s looking way too hard.
This Nightmare, is just fucking weak as hell.
As a Giant, you should at least hold out for five hundred years!
It’s only been eighty years, and they’re already fleeing with their tail between their legs.
Assemble of Nora and the Underworld—are they really this strong?
The Abyss Will said:
"Halt the march, first find the Nightmare Will."
The Chaotic Servant asked:
"Lord, are we teaming up with Nightmare?"
Logically speaking, with things as they are now,
Nightmare has nowhere else to retreat, they can only choose to join forces with the Abyss.
The Abyss Will chuckled:
"No, we’re going to devour Nightmare."
Rather than clash with Nora at their prime,
it’s better to beat the falling dog—chip away at Nightmare.
Once we grow stronger, maybe even surpass the Star Ancestor,
then won’t the Land of Darkness be in our pocket?
All this time, the astral world steadily pressed down the other three factions.
But look at things now:
The insect plague has the astral world exhausted, as their strength drops bit by bit.
Nightmare lost half their power, they’re like a kicked-out, homeless dog!
This made the Abyss Will, who always saw the astral world as the ultimate adversary, start to reconsider. In this era, perhaps Nora and the Underworld are the true final opponents.
And whoever devours Nightmare first,
will take control of the war!
...
astral world.
The war between the insects and Gods was even fiercer than the first time. With a numerical advantage, among the eight hundred Gods, more than a dozen have fallen.
The insects, by contrast, have only lost two Insect Queens.
And the mother nest’s will is still creating new Insect Queens and soldier species. At this rate, in less than a thousand years, astral forces might fall below seven hundred. By then, even if they repel the insects, their advantage over other Giants won’t be so clear anymore.
This gave the Star Ancestor a sense of anxiety.
Whether he wanted to admit it or not,
the astral world, once sitting firmly at the top, was now on a decline.
This trend was unstoppable, turning into a vicious cycle.
Originally the astral world could easily use Divine Enthronement as a bargaining chip to attract level 9 and level-10 strongmen from the Multidimensional Plane to join.
But now, those people either hide themselves away,
or join the Underworld or Nora.
The astral world is no longer the optimal choice.
The Star Ancestor swore,
once the insects are pacified,
even if he has to look for a needle in the ocean, he will find Kars!
And today, the Star Ancestor received another piece of bad news.
"Lord, Nightmare is utterly defeated, the Supremes have escaped, Nora has won a great victory!"
The Star Ancestor’s pond-still Mental State once again rippled with waves.
"How could Nightmare be so useless?"
Back when they fought the astral world, they weren’t this weak.
The Star Ancestor couldn’t, for the life of him, figure it out.
He spent a month going over all the intelligence and data on the war.
And finally reached a conclusion.
All of this, perhaps, is related to one person.
"Chaos Emperor."
More precisely,
the mastermind behind this person.
Ancestor Wizard Sauron!
...
Red Plane.
"Good! Excellent!"
The Fire Sovereign banged the drum and sang, drinking without restraint!
"Nora and the Underworld joining forces can wield such Strength."
"This is Sauron—if I lost to him, I have nothing to feel ashamed about!"
If Sauron hadn’t prepared so many seamless backup plans,
the twists and turns Nora faced in this war would have gone far beyond Nightmare.
If the astral world made a move then, it might have meant total annihilation of their civilization.
Only when all conditions were met, the perfect closed loop formed,
could they reap today’s results!
Sauron, badass.
In the Fire Sovereign’s heart,
Sauron is truly the strongest in this Universe.
Even the Star Ancestor can’t compare.
...
Golden Sacred Realm.
The sky-piercing, earth-shattering Golden Ancient Tree swayed restlessly, emotions in turmoil.
"Nora has taken the advantage—even Nightmare has lost—these wizards want to conquer the Multidimensional Plane and dominate the Universe we live in."
The four Sacred Kings wore long faces.
Undying Saint King:
"Lord, should we try leaving this Universe altogether?"
Mingxi Saint King:
"By the look of things, even the astral world might not be Nora’s match."
The Golden Ancient Tree said in a deep voice:
"Leaving the Universe is easier said than done."
At the very least, you need to be a Supreme to barely manage it.
But if you go to another Universe, things there might not be better than here.
After thinking it through, the Golden Will said:
"In the past, before the Origin Divine Tree fell, it once opened up a secret dimension, one isolated from the world. There are no resources, but at least no conflicts."
"Gather the whole race, bring resources sufficient for at least ten thousand years of development, and we’ll move the entire realm in. Then we’ll seal the realm for ten thousand years, not concerning ourselves with worldly affairs."
Heavenly Wisdom Saint King asked:
"Lord, what about after ten thousand years?"
The Golden Will replied in a discouraged voice:
"After ten thousand years, we’ll decide according to the situation."
With matters so complicated now, he didn’t dare to make a rash prediction.
Let’s just survive the next ten thousand years first.
...
Nora.
Sauren Continent.
Levi had no time to rest and gathered everyone together.
There were still some postwar matters in urgent need of handling.
In the darkness, Emmon was still asleep inside the golden light barrier Levi had set up.
Levi said:
"First thing—Lord Emmon’s safety is the priority. Lord Cangtian, please stand guard for a hundred years until Emmon awakens. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
Lord Cangtian replied:
"No problem."
Levi said:
"As for Eagle God Barbarian Chief’s injuries, those need to be healed as soon as possible. If you lack resources, the congress can try to find a way, just get him back to the ten-level realm as early as possible."
