Spatial Tunnel.
Qi Xing and Qi Yue travelled through the spatial tunnel extremely quickly, while Rahu parted ways with them, heading to the Xiya Star.
“Hmph, who would have thought that there was someone in this world with a godly soul from the Skyfall Demon Clan, and she even had 50% Godhood. However, awakening one’s godly soul usually requires them to be around 20 years old, while Rahu had said that the person was only a little girl. This is quite strange.” Qi Xing had once again put on large grey clothes, covering her body. She slowly spoke as she looked ahead.
“When facing death, humans can release their hidden potential, so this isn’t all that strange. After all, the purpose of Rahu’s visit was to kill them,” Qi Yue replied with a slight smile.
“Forget it, it’s good that she has been destroyed. The Skyfall Demon Clan’s divine power is quite special; they can use their divine power to summon creatures from other dimensions, and they can change the form and structure of their targets; it’s even more annoying than the Langya Group’s power. With 50% Godhood, if she became our enemy, she would indeed be quite a threat.” Qi Xing suddenly thought of something and looked over and said, “Come to think of it, those 4 ingredients fusing together really created a Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb. Does that mean that the legend of going against the heavens and stealing back life is true?”
“No!” Qi Yue’s expression became dim and she slowly shook her head, wagging her finger as she tossed the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb into Qi Xing’s hands. “From the beginning, I felt that the legend could not be true. Otherwise, why would the all-powerful Shura not use this not-too-secret method to revive Lachesis? Even if Lachesis’ body was destroyed, with his power, creating a new body for Lachesis would not have been impossible. However, I still held on to a trace of hope… the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb being created gave me a pleasant surprise, but after I used the Sun God Orb to make it complete and felt its power, it left me disappointed.”
“Oh?” Qi Xing felt quite surprised and looked at the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb for a while before returning it to Qi Yue. “So it’s like that. Even though you’ve been disappointed, this conforms to the rules of this chaotic space. Death cannot be reversed – even a god above gods cannot change this. The Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb’s effects are indeed mysterious, and it can be described as heaven-defying, but wanting to go against the rules of life and death is impossible.”
“Alright, alright.” Qi Yue unhappily put the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb away, saying sadly, “I wasted so much time, and not only was the Shura Plan not completed, even the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb was not as useful as I had hoped. Looks like I need to give up.”
“Hmph, even if she was our mother, she was only a human. Is she worth all that effort and all those fights you had with me, your only relative?” Qi Xing coldly harrumphed.
“Mother is mother, and whether she’s a human makes no difference. Forget it, all you think about is becoming a True God, so you wouldn’t care about all this anyway. I hope your Godchild Plan succeeds.” Qi Yue’s tone became firm, and she closed her eyes, ignoring Qi Xing.

Mystic Moon world, Godchild Peak.
The icy wind howled and was cold enough to stab into one’s bones, but it was unable to affect Ling Chen at all. He sat there for a long time, and soon, the lower half of his body was buried by the never-ending snowfall.
The Bamboo Sea Wonderland had been destroyed – kilometres of the place had been utterly annihilated, and more than half of it had turned into dust. It was difficult to imagine just what sort of monstrous power had erupted there. Even military-grade bombs would not be able to cause such destruction.
Under such terrifying power, how could anyone still be alive… even Fey, who had an exceptional constitution, would be blown into dust…
Gu Qing Han, Li Xiao Xue, Xuanyuan Dia Wu, Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi, Su’Er, Fey, Yola, Mu Bing Yao, Chao Ying, Chao Xi, and Tian Tian…
His closest relatives… the people he loved most… who he cared about the most…
They were dead… all of them were dead… without even a corpse left.
He had screamed out their names, madly digging around in the rubble until even his steel-like hands bled… he found traces of blood, fragments of clothing, and endless pain and despair…
Qi Yue had said that Rahu never left behind any corpses when he killed people because everything would be completely destroyed under his power. Let alone corpses, barely any traces were left… even wanting to see them once last time was impossible.
Feeling incredibly muddleheaded, Ling Chen had returned to the Mystic Moon, uncontrollably yelling their names into his communication device… no impossible miracles happened, and no one responded to him… Ling Chen sat paralysed in the snow, allowing the cruel coldness to chill his body and heart.
He had thought that he had grasped hope in reviving Shui Ruo, and he had put all of his efforts into that. He had been on his guard against Qi Yue, but he had been grateful to her for the hope and help she had given him…
It didn’t even come to his mind that she could have been using him this entire time… just as he was about to succeed, she had taken away all hope, and she had cruelly ordered the people most important to him to be killed…
Shui Ruo… could never wake up…
Sha Sha had been taken away… by the powerful Qi Xing, someone who was almost a True God and therefore could never defeat. He could never take Sha Sha back or see her again. Perhaps in the future, her power and life would be devoured by Qi Xing…
Fey, Dia Wu, Meng Xin… they were all dead… without even a corpse left…
What a cruel and hateful world… filled with pain, death, lies, cruelty, dirtiness, and hatred…
Why was it not me who died…
Why am I still alive…
Why is this world so cruel and merciless…
I have nothing left… nothing… I don’t even know how to take revenge…
Haha… haha… hahahaha… this world is full of despair… to the point that I want to die… but I don’t want to die because I want to destroy this world filled with lies, pain, and despair… destroy all people, creatures, and things that can be seen… because without all of this, there would not be such a dirty and cruel reality, nor would there be so much pain and despair…
“Ding…”
In the silence, Ling Chen’s communication device suddenly sounded out.
“Huff… Huff… Ling Tian… where are you… even though I know I shouldn’t be bothering you on your birthday, we can’t hold on anymore. The allied forces of 12 countries… more and more people are coming, and we’ve been completely suppressed. Our reinforcements are coming at a much slower speed than they’re arriving… looks like we’ll need you to act personally…”
Ling Chen’s eyes were like empty holes without a trace of emotion or colour. Hearing Yun Feng’s ragged breathing, he moved his lips, staring ahead as he said in a hoarse voice, “Have… you seen Tian Tian, Dia Wu, Fey, Qi Qi, Su Su…”
“No! I’ve been trying to contact them, but I thought that they were celebrating your birthday. Eh? Ling Tian? What happened, your voice sounds so strange. What happened…”
Pa…
Ling Chen crushed the communication device into nothing, turning it into countless fragments that slipped through his fingers.
Pain, hatred, and despair… those 3 things filled Ling Chen’s mind. Despite suffering so much pain because of the Mad Scientist in Heaven, he had not truly despaired because he had been filled with thoughts of revenge, and he had been desperate to meet Dia Wu again… but now, he had nothing left, and the whole world turned grey without a hint of colour.
Ling Chen’s head powerlessly fell to his chest, and his unfocused eyes stared forwards, making him look like an ice sculpture.
His mind fell silent amidst boundless despair…
His willpower twisted within the boundless pain…
His thoughts were filled with boundless anger and hatred towards the world…
Wouldn’t it be great if all of this was fake?
Wouldn’t it be great if I had never been born?
Wouldn’t it be great if this world was completely destroyed… because there would no longer be pain, hatred, or despair…
Destroy all of this…
Destroy all of this…
Destroy all…
Destroy…
……
An hour passed, but Ling Chen still did not move, and it was as if he had died.
2 hours passed, and Ling Chen’s body had been completely buried by the snow.
3 hours passed…
The wind at the summit of the Godchild Peak suddenly became chaotic, causing the snowflakes, which had been falling slowly, to wildly fly about as if there was something terrifying causing them to tremble in fear.
The bright sky suddenly darkened, and looking up, one would find that countless dark clouds had suddenly appeared. As more and more dark clouds appeared, the light became dimmer and dimmer until the entire Godchild Peak to fall into darkness. The dark clouds came lower and lower, looking as if one could touch them with their hands, and they gave off a heavy, suffocating feeling.
Below the dark clouds, dark fog started to rise from Ling Chen’s immobile body…
This dark fog came out from his 7 orifices, body, and limbs… it slowly seeped out from every pore of his body, faster and faster. Soon, the dark fog covered his entire body. This was a fog that was indescribably black, and it was even darker than darkness itself. Anyone who saw it would not believe that such darkness could exist in the world.
The cold wind continued to howl, and the dark clouds in the sky started to madly swirl.
At this moment, Ling Chen, who had fallen silent for a long time, slowly stood up, his body still surrounded by the dark fog. He gradually raised his head, revealing his face… it was no longer twisted in pain and anguish, and it was instead cold and stiff without a hint of emotion. Slowly, his eyes opened, revealing 2… blood-red eyes!!
“Ding… you have obtained an unknown, mysterious power. The unknown power has forcefully destroyed all other powers within your body. Your profession [Ling Tian War God] has disappeared, your profession [Feng Chen Sect Leader] has disappeared, and your profession [Shura] has disappeared.”
“Ding… all of your stats have greatly changed, and your new stats cannot be appraised…”
“Ding… all of your stat numbers have been destroyed and cannot be displayed…”

The dark clouds swirled more and more, and they were even larger and denser than when Ling Chen had initially obtained the Shura’s power. However, tribulation lightning did not descend… it was as if the tribulation lightning clouds were so fearful that they did not dare to send lightning down!
Within his pain and hatred, a desire to have the power to destroy everything grew within Ling Chen, causing his power to greatly change and step into the realm that even gods feared…
The way of the Shura!!
