Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 980: The Collapse of the World Barrier

Chapter 980: The World Barrier Collapses

...

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, hmph~"

Li Qingran snorted coldly, walking past a group of Middle Gods who had been beaten black and blue.

At first, these Middle Gods had wanted to resist.

But they didn't even need all the auspicious beasts to act. With just the most violent Senior White Tiger making a move, in less than a minute, all the Middle Gods were kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.

Poseidon and the other deities supported each other. Bai Ze used healing divine arts on them. Although they weren't restored to their peak divine power in one go, their injuries were mostly healed, and they only needed to recuperate for a while.

Looking at these Middle Gods kneeling on the ground.

Poseidon felt an immense sense of vindication in his heart.

"Poseidon, don't get too cocky!" The Middle God who had been spat on still clung to a sliver of hope. "You're all high and mighty now, but wait until Their Excellencies the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings kill that mysterious man. That will be your death day!

Heh heh heh!

Even if you kill me now, you'll have to come to hell to keep me company later!"

"Sorry about that." Hades silently raised a hand, his expression blank as he said, "I'm the one in charge of hell. I don't accept you here."

The Middle God: "..."

He lowered his head and said nothing more, seemingly awaiting his fate.

The Endless Sea returned to its calm state.

Poseidon looked at the shattered Sea God Temple, feeling a wave of emotion for a moment.

The war against the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings seemed to be over.

He had originally thought this would be a protracted war lasting at least years, but he never expected it would end in a single day, and in such a hasty manner.

No, it couldn't be completely called an end.

After all, Lord Chen Huaian had not yet emerged, and the outcome of his battle with the Silver Dragon King was still unknown.

However, since Lord Chen Huaian had returned once, it meant the Golden Dragon King had likely been dealt with.

If even the Golden Dragon King could be dealt with, the weaker Silver Dragon King should be no problem, right?

Poseidon wasn't entirely sure.

He moved over to Li Qingran, who was surrounded by the auspicious beasts, his expression respectful and cautious as he asked, "Lord Li Qingran, your mas... oh, your husband should be alright, right?"

Li Qingran closed her eyes to sense.

Chen Huaian was her Battle Soul in the Canglan World. Even across the primordial chaos, their hearts were connected, their souls linked.

At this moment, in her perception, even the single wisp of Remnant Soul Chen Huaian had left in the Battle Soul Space was as magnificent as the sun.

And the power of this wisp of Remnant Soul was rapidly expanding.

The power of the Remnant Soul was synchronized with the True Body, which meant her Master's True Body was also growing stronger at a rapid pace.

Judging from this aspect, the Silver Dragon King was probably dead as a doornail, having already become a part of her Master's body.

As if sensing her probing.

A ripple of soul energy carrying information was transmitted back from that wisp of Remnant Soul within the blazing sun.

Li Qingran read that information, and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry." She opened her eyes, looking at Poseidon, her face full of seriousness and earnestness:

"My husband is fine. But before he emerges, I still hope the various deities can sort out their respective Laws and try to restore the order of the Laws as much as possible."

Poseidon's expression changed.

He had been so focused on venting his anger earlier that he had almost forgotten this critical matter.

Now that ninety-nine percent of the deities had fallen, the Laws of the Canglan World were essentially masterless.

Those masterless Law energies rampaged wildly between heaven and earth, unable to find a home, and could only continuously dissipate outward, impacting the World Barrier.

Layer after layer of Law energy crashed against it, like a glass dome under increasing pressure. Sooner or later, cracks would appear and it would shatter.

Perhaps...

The World Barrier was already about to crack open.

As if confirming Poseidon's prediction.

BOOM——!

A tremendous roar came from the far end of the sky, as if something had exploded from within.

This roar was absolutely not thunder caused by weather phenomena.

Because after the roar, what followed immediately was a tremor that swept across the entire Canglan World.

Anomalies erupted like geysers in various places across the Canglan World.

Ocean waves surged, the earth trembled.

On the distant horizon, black cracks appeared one after another, as if the skin of the sky had been torn.

"It's over!"

Poseidon looked up, his pupils contracting sharply.

One wave had not settled before another rose.

As one of the Chief Gods of the Canglan World, how could he not know what those cracks were?

Back during the Divine War, even when the fighting turned the world upside down, such massive cracks in the World Barrier had not appeared.

Those crisscrossing cracks stretched across the azure sky, like gill-like scratches, as if someone had drawn a stroke with black ink on it.

Moreover, these cracks were still expanding.

Chaotic void currents continuously poured in from the cracks, colliding with the dissipating Law energies, emitting ear-piercing roars.

"There's no time." Poseidon muttered, then suddenly turned around, roaring at the deities behind him who could still move: "Everyone, return to your respective Divine Kingdoms immediately! Stabilize your Rule powers! We must hold up the World Barrier!"

Now, the remaining deities were like pillars.

Only they could still prop up the collapsing World Barrier.

Eve was the first to react, a verdant green light shining from her body.

She glanced at Li Qingran, nodded, turned, and transformed into a streak of green light disappearing into the horizon.

Hades followed closely behind, black Ghostly Fire enveloping his body as he sank into the shadows.

Lucifer spread his wings, six pairs of pinions stirring up a black wind. With a twist of space, he completely vanished from the spot.

The Sea Divine System, the Fire God, and other deities with good relations with Poseidon also left with urgent expressions.

The Middle Gods kneeling on the ground looked at each other.

The leading Middle God raised his head, looking at the continuously expanding cracks in the sky, his lips trembling slightly.

"Look at what you've all done!?"

He clenched his fists, gnashing his teeth.

In principle, he didn't want to follow Poseidon's command.

Just moments ago, they were mortal enemies, and now they were supposed to jointly resist the collapsing World Barrier?

What a joke.

BOOM——!

Another tremendous roar came from the sky, startling him into a shiver.

This time, a massive stone glowing with flowing light fell from the cracks.

It was a fragment of the World Barrier. It fell into the Endless Sea, stirring up thousand-layered giant waves.

Where the fragment fell, seawater began to pour back into the cracks, forming enormous whirlpools.

The Middle God's face turned completely pale.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

If the World Barrier collapsed, the situation of the Canglan Realm having only ten percent of its deities left would be exposed to observers from other worlds.

Every world had abundant resources. For the top powerhouses of those worlds, wouldn't such a Canglan World be a delicious little cake?

They would inevitably invade at this time!

And with the protection of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings gone, with ninety percent of the deities and the defensive effect of the World Barrier missing...

How could they possibly be a match for those invaders?

If the Canglan World was invaded by deities from other worlds, they, these Middle Gods, would be the first cannon fodder!

"Let's go!" The leading Middle God gritted his teeth, stood up, and said coldly: "Return to your respective Divine Kingdoms, stabilize the Laws!"
