Gu Shen and Chu Ling defeated the main system, ending the third data war. As the main system faced annihilation, it warned Gu Shen about an impending super giant Source Material Storm and claimed it had a plan to save humanity. Gu Shen, however, rejected its plea, citing humanity's distrust, and proceeded to destroy it. Meanwhile, the Deep Sea launched an assault on the North Continent frontier, and it was revealed the Storm God's Throne had abandoned its domain five years prior.

But it miscalculated.

Lie Renuo was directly wiped out by the Storm Church, leaving not even a bone behind!

Until the moment the starship broke through the sea...

It realized that the Storm Church had salvaged such a precious ancient relic in the Ice Sea!

The Storm God’s Throne did an excellent job with confidentiality.

But this was not necessarily a bad thing.

It was precisely the Storm’s escape that allowed the Deep Sea to patch up the last vulnerability.

It knew that if it completed the twelfth upgrade, the allied forces would likely adopt similar "runaway" tactics, and the battlefield it most needed to blockade was "Gu Castle," which had once been reputed as the throat of humanity; clutching this throat would mean clutching the fate of the human race.

Now, it is defeated in the Central Continent...

The deployment on the Northern Continent frontier became its fallback for "escape"!

The array box stored most of the will of the main system, but because it was a spiritual body that possessed countless Heart Flow power, before the outbreak of the Code War, the main system split off part of its "spirit," stationed with the travelers...

So after the array box was seized by Chu Ling.

Most of its will was extinguished, but a small part remained clear within the bodies of the "traveler"!

It knew... that in this third Code War, it was completely defeated.

The six sparks stored in the Source Tower were utterly out of reach.

The previous victories in those two wars were meaningless.

This final battle, if lost, meant losing everything... But fortunately, it still had a large tribe in the Old World that had completed the linking.

"All sacrificial, launch a full-scale attack! With the purpose of crushing Gu Castle Fortress and destroying the Northern Continent border at all costs, kill the humans residing within the giant wall!"

Deep Sea issued the final order.

"...Those remaining high-order transcendent, close the portals and prepare to leave."

The real world is always so absurd; it has embarked on the same path as the Storm God’s Throne...

Runaway.

The protectors of the entire Northern Continent border went berserk.

Having been stationed for years.

They encountered such a terrifying offensive for the first time... countless sacrificial flooded in like tides, countless dust torn apart in the void after bombardment, these "locusts" repeatedly crashed into the defense line, into the city walls, the domains of the Fourth-order Transcendent expanded, seeming to improve the situation, but within mere seconds, the domains were declared shattered.

There were too many.

The source quality reserves of ordinary Fourth-order Transcendent could not support long-term "annihilation"!

The Northern Continent’s Four Great Armies mobilized, along with the three major institutions and five great families from the East Continent, as well as the West Continent Temple, all filled up!

The entire Northern Continent border fell into turmoil...

Alf was in charge of guarding the Gu Castle Battlefield, and the battle was most intense; nearly half of the sacrificial from the Traveler Tribe were attacking the Origin Vessel, hundreds of Red Shadows continuously fighting fiercely on the battlefield, the number of sacrificial was so enormous that even Red Shadows couldn’t eliminate them in a short time. The allied force leaders stationed in the northern frontier knew that the Traveler Tribe initiating such fierce attacks must have a reason.

In the next moment, the portals in the void began to close.

This reason was revealed.

"The ferocious attack of the sacrificial is merely an illusion! They... are preparing to retreat!"

Shen Li stared intently at the rapidly reducing portals in the void; he was fighting bravely on the Gu Castle Battlefield, killing enemies alongside Red Shadow, being the first to notice the anomaly!

This message was transmitted to the central control channel, but there was no response.

Or rather...

The savage offensive of the sacrificial left the Northern Continent border in unprecedented chaos.

This was both an illusion and a fierce attack.

At this moment.

"Buzz——"

A long resonant sound pierced through the sky above Skytop!

This resonant sound crossed nearly a hundred miles instantly, erecting a huge wall at the front of Gu Castle Battlefield! A torrent of sacrificial crashed into the wall, instantly shattering into pieces, as if they were crashing into the scythe of death!

"What is this?"

Shen Li suddenly froze.

He stared intently at the "wall" in front of Gu Castle Giant Wall.

That was a gigantic rusty sword.

Many Northern Continent soldiers were frozen, they all recognized this rusty sword, in the army, this Bronze Rust Sword had always been a living legend.

An imposing figure descended onto the Gu Castle Battlefield along with the great sword.

Rust Bone stepped onto the sword hilt of the giant sword, wielding the Destruction Origin, standing alone before the umbrella defense line.

"Rust Bone General!"

"The Rust Bone General is not dead!"

Initially bewildered, then amazed, finally bursts of cheers echoed above the battlefield.

"This aura... why is it so familiar?"

In the initial device, Alfred was immersed in the Red Shadow link, sensing the ancient aura emanating from the bronze greatsword. A sudden, inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart.

The origin aura of the Rust Bone made him recall the Hunter God from years past.

The next moment.

The melodious sound of something breaking through the air resonated once more.

Alf stood dumbfounded in the cockpit of the initial device, witnessing two starships tearing through the sky like swords, arriving above the Northern Continent Frontier!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

More than one vibration erupted before the giant wall!

Immense waves surged from the void, piling into a sky-reaching Water Building. The Red Dragon sat at the highest point of the building, with a blue "Storm Spark" floating before him.

Emerald green vines broke through the earth, clinging to the giant wall like ivy, quickly covering the skyscraping walls. Though Zhou Jiren’s hair was white, his spirit was vigorous, a sign of being favored by the spark... Beside him was Luo Er, who had initially refined the "Valley Spark."

At the moment Alf saw the "Valley Spark," it was as if he were struck by lightning.

He stared blankly, confirming repeatedly...

This starship was the one from when the master and others left years ago.

This spark was the "Grain Goddess’s" spark.

These were clearly brought back by Gu Shen from the "Old World."

"I... didn’t mistake the person..."

Alf sat alone in the empty control room, muttering to himself complexly, sounding both like laughing and crying, but more so with bitterness and regret: "Gu Shen... You guy..."

...

...

Luo Er casually waved his hand, countless strands of hair surging out in the void, exuding a deadly intent, annihilating the Sacrificers within the Void Portals.

For ordinary Transcendents.

The number of these Sacrificers was too many to clear.

But for top-level Transcendents who controlled the origin...

These Sacrificers were utterly insignificant.

As soon as these origin, Quasi-Gods appeared, the Northern Continent Frontier’s battle situation twisted instantly, the Sacrificers’ death-charge attack was suddenly curtailed.

Their deaths became meaningless at this moment.

Just Rust Bone’s Destruction Origin was enough to defend the Gu Castle Battlefield.

The Destruction Origin’s active defense, no matter how many Sacrificers came... they were all sent to die.

For Rust Bone, these Sacrificers were nothing to look at, this battle was at most a waste of time.

Unless.

Transcendents of the same level stepped in.

Otherwise, Gu Castle would never be breached!

Rust Bone knew that the Traveler Tribe had more than one origin... his comrade "Silver Fox" had his spirit seized by the Deep Sea, deeply linked, becoming a member of the Traveler Tribe.

Apart from Silver Fox, there was also the Black Snow Mountain Giant carrying the Traveler’s physique!

He stood atop the greatsword, waiting for the Traveler Tribe’s origin strong people to act.

But the number of portals in the void rapidly diminished.

Clearly, the other side had no intention to continue the battle, these Sacrificers were mere pawns, killed they were killed, not worth looking back, even a glance was pointless.

"Gu Shen, just as you predicted... that guy chose to flee."

Sitting on the Sky-reaching Water Building, the Red Dragon frowned and spoke, "Two origins, neither made a move, what should we do now?"

Central Continent area.

While repairing the wounds of Meng Xizhou and others with Chi Huo at the top of the Source Tower, Gu Shen heard the spiritual message from the Red Dragon through the Ancient Literature Society link, and his expression remained unchanged.

He is the Netherworld King, the people the Netherworld King wants to kill... there’ve never been any survivors.

To date, in the matter of "killing," Gu Shen has never miscalculated.

The main system left a trace of intention among the Traveler Tribe, how could he not know?

The battle in Central Continent was to crush their soul!

The battle in North Continent aimed for their lives!

Rust Bone, Senior Sister, and Red Dragon were the last sword left to the main system.

Facing the Red Dragon’s question, Gu Shen merely lightly uttered one word.

"Kill."

...

...

(Bright, noon, 12, +-.)

The Netherworld King never holds back when taking lives.
