Abyss Sequence

Chapter 513 88: A Move Across Time

Throughout the long river of time, language and script undergo evolution, and traditions change unpredictably as eras shift.

In this world, only a few things remain relatively unchanged by the passage of time.

For instance, the planet beneath our feet; for instance, the satellite suspended beyond the sky.

A mere eight thousand years is far from enough to alter them. Even now, in the present more than eight thousand years later, when the inhabitants of this planet possess the power to transform the world, they still cannot freely reshape this planet to their desires.

Thus, the ancient Blue Star Civilization stored their last power within these 'eternally unchanged' things, hoping for the day of the Magic Seal's release.

It was not only the modern Blue Star Civilization that realized 'the best plan against the Evil God is no plan'; ancient people from the Blue Star Civilization over eight thousand years ago already understood this.

Therefore, after prolonged debate and dispute, they chose to place their hope in future generations.

In their era, they had no means to solve the problem of the Evil God.

Because they were too powerful, the Evil God they nurtured surpassed the limits of cosmic civilization's understanding.

The civilization on this small planet was considered the most powerful within the Milky Way at the time; the power they held was beyond the imagination of other civilizations.

Even the Evil God born from their civilization was set to surpass other Evil Gods wandering the cosmos.

Such a fierce beast, once born, would first destroy its own creators.

Therefore, they chose legacy.

They themselves would pass away, in exchange for the continuation of their race.

As ancestors, they naturally wouldn't shift all responsibility onto their descendants. Instead, those enjoying the long-term rituals of their descendants were actually the ones who needed to contribute their strength to help the latter.

They imprinted their last powers into the Blue Star and the moon, powers that would not dissipate even if Magic Power was suppressed.

When the Magic Seal was lifted, those powers entered into an awakening stage.

Then, pillars of light rose from the ground, illuminating the skies.

The United Government quickly discovered this phenomenon through globally monitoring satellites, but even faster were the people living around those sources of light.

Many pointed and marveled at those pillars reaching from earth to heaven.

Through the internet, they rapidly realized this was not an isolated event; it appeared globally.

Majestic mountains and vast rivers shot light into the sky, the Yellowstone Volcano burst into brightness, the Siberian ice plain also showed dazzling beams, not to mention the Alps and Mount Everest, the Sahara Desert and the Amazon River, all had columns of light piercing the clouds.

The moon high above indeed actively emitted a faint glow, illuminating the entire western hemisphere.

Those who had learned from Yan Luo that 'the Magic Seal is about to be lifted' quickly reacted; the magic seal enshrouding the Earth-Moon system had finally disappeared.

But what was the connection between the disappearance of the Magic Seal and the appearance of these light pillars?

After the emergence of light pillars globally, phantasmal auroras appeared in various parts of the world.

Auroras adorned the sky, connecting one after another, like a long river flowing across the heavens, in which scenes from human memory and thoughts emerged.

Similar phenomena appeared before Yan Luo as well.

He saw an abstract Evil God suddenly manifest before him, a form resembling that of a human — distinct limbs, a head with only a single vertical eye and no other features, its form shrouded in black mist and shadows.

Yan Luo and the Evil God both stared in amazement.

Both were unaware that this was the most effective weapon left by the ancient Blue Star Civilization for their descendants.

——[Thought Materialization]!

No matter where the Evil God originated, the 'Thought Materialization Field' enveloping the Earth-Moon system would convert the abstract Evil God into a tangible material entity.

Ancients over eight thousand years ago crossed the river of time to place a key advantage for Yan Luo and the Blue Star Civilization's victory.

Yan Luo didn't understand that this was a weapon left by the ancient Blue Star Civilization; he only knew the Evil God had become a solid entity.

The external magnetic field could sense the reflection from the Evil God's body, and at this moment, the Evil God was no longer merely a wave nor merely a thought.

It had transformed into a 'thing' tangibly existing in this world, able to be touched, affected, collided with, and — able to be 'killed'!

Yan Luo hesitated only briefly, then struck.

How weighty are thoughts?

The Evil God, formed from the collective thoughts of Blue Star's sentient beings, transformed into an entity of mountainous weight, measured in billions of tons, its highly concentrated body scattering light waves, presenting a black yet distinct silhouette before Yan Luo.

Upon appearing, the Evil God absorbed all the air in this space sealed by magnetic field power, turning the area into a vacuum.

If Yan Luo did not already have no need to breathe, he would likely suffocate.

The Evil God's body comprised of electron degenerate matter, merely appearing curled space-time. Though its influence was subtle, the fact that it manipulated space-time remained unchanged.

Confronted with such a terrifying existence, Yan Luo unexpectedly approached, using his hand as a blade to slash down upon the Evil God.

The magnetic field surrounding his arm was unaffected by the Evil God's degenerate body, striking the Evil God and even forcing it back.

The Evil God finally reacted, realizing it now possessed an 'entity'.

Having an entity, such a powerful entity, perhaps it could defeat Yan Luo?

Thus, the Evil God gleefully clenched its fist, extracting the 'martial skills' portion from the vast memory of thoughts, rushing towards Yan Luo.

Unaware, it had been struck by the ancient Blue Star Civilization's weapon.

The 'Thought Materialization Field' not only transformed it from abstract to entity but also granted it the thinking style of an entity.

Before possessing an entity, the Evil God's thoughts were swift, able to consider many aspects simultaneously, but after acquiring an entity, it transitioned from 'Evil God' to 'human.'

Normal humans can't think about more than ten things at the same time!

Now, the Evil God possesses the characteristics of 'human,' and various human flaws manifest on it.

Pursuing merit recklessly, simple-minded thinking, even 'emotions' are now present.

Human flaws are also strengths, depending on how they are used.

Pursuing merit recklessly can be valor and decisiveness, simple-minded thinking can be resolute determination, yet the Evil God is evidently using them incorrectly.

The Evil God employed 'martial skills' extracted from the collective thoughts against Yan Luo without realizing that Yan Luo's martial skills have long surpassed them.

Seeing the heated, hardened fist attacking him, Yan Luo stretched out his hand for a strike, unbalancing the Evil God's body, redirecting its arm aside.

Next, Yan Luo's other hand clenched tightly into a fist, aimed at the Evil God's abdomen, and fiercely punched out.

The single eye on its head bulged; an unexpected sensation struck the very core of the Evil God's being.

This is... pain?

The Evil God had felt pain through the thoughts of people but never personally experienced it, rendering its mind blank at this moment.

Yet this punch was far from over, as magnetic field power relentlessly transferred from Yan Luo's arm into the Evil God's body, equivalent to pummeling the Evil God thousands upon thousands of times within a second.

The Evil God's body trembled violently, its dark abdomen blown wide open.

Though within a moment it completed its bodily repair, the price was a decreased density in other parts of its body, and the lost thoughts could not be recovered — it permanently lost many human memories.

Composed of electron degenerate material, the body, after separation from the main entity, did not explode due to insufficient pressure; instead, it reverted to thoughts, disappearing in this vacuum.

Having witnessed the formidable nature of white dwarf stars, the ancients naturally considered this issue when 'designing' the Evil God's body.

To kill the Evil God on Blue Star without its body exploding from loss of pressure after death became imperative.

Feeling perpetually incomplete, the Evil God was flooded with emotions of regret, resentment, and melancholy, furiously swinging a fist in counterattack at Yan Luo.

Then, another part of its body was shattered by Yan Luo's counteroffensive.
