Chapter 742 687: The Commencement of the Two-World War
"By estimating from lifespan, I, the Light Ancient God, am about to die."
Li Qing traversed great distances, walking through the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms.
In the eyes of other Ancient Gods, what seemed like the unfathomable deep pools in the deep seas appeared to him as effortless as walking in the air, without any obstruction.
After all, even among the Ninth Layer Ancient Gods, the difference was vast.
Perfectly matching the combination of 3000 divided by 9 to form an extremely powerful Heaven-level Great Tao Technique was inherently difficult.
"I've reigned for over a thousand years in this life, so it hasn't been bad."
Li Qing had not yet died of old age and was already penning his memoirs.
After all, this era is indeed special, with short lifespans and rapid iterations.
Li Qing meticulously calculated various aspects.
He discovered that this lifetime opened the era of Celestial Human's reincarnation into the Lower Realm, resulting in the emergence of two Divine Series.
He also inaugurated the era of cosmic existence for the stars.
Moreover, with the authority of Light, he pioneered the cosmic language for communication among the Cosmic Gods.
These three major achievements, each one enough to secure eternal fame for any generation of Divine King.
Yet, each cosmic era averaged less than 250 years.
Even though the first era of Celestial Human's Lower Realm was stolen, the subsequent two eras he pioneered sufficiently prove that his talent and intelligence have reached the cosmic limit.
However, Li Qing's gaze was set on a more distant future.
After the thousand-year-long era of the Light Ancient God, the current new era of cosmic history had progressed for three thousand years.
Li Qing, like Atabia, the Emperor, and other First Layer Gods, had a lifespan of nine thousand years.
Now, only six thousand years remain.
"If the forthcoming eras proceed as swiftly as mine did, with three eras in a thousand years, the remaining six thousand years would ensure I wouldn't perish from old age."
"That way, I could survive this chrysalis-breaking period and soar freely like a fish in the vast sea."
Li Qing pondered inwardly.
Ultimately, it's because the Cosmos had just begun, with primitive and wild world rules. Once the civilization of the Cosmos continuously perfects and promotes the Cultivation Technique, Longevity becomes achievable.
He mulled it over repeatedly, traveling across the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, and observing every grain of sand and each world, encountering a novel experience.
Once he was done idling everywhere, the Gods of the Origin Continent finally sent an anticipated message to Li Qing:
The Abyss World has been breached.
"Before dying peacefully, it's high time to attend to important matters!"
The Light Ancient God strode through the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, becoming a moon admired by everyone in this Cosmos.
As if walking a runway, the world watched intently.
Based on the transmitted military maps from behind, a direct path appeared amidst the winding worm passages.
Hualala.
In the next moment.
Li Qing changed direction, began digging through the All Heavens World that completely connected the two realms. In less than a month, a tunnel appeared before him.
"Salute to His Majesty!"
"Salute to His Majesty!"
"Welcome Your Majesty to tour the All Heavens and return to the battlefield!"
A chorus of reverent voices echoed.
It wasn't just Li Qing's legion of one hundred thousand Angels, ten Great Angels under him, but also the brainy Celestial Humans of the research group numbering over a million.
It must be said, these millions of Celestial Humans were very useful.
They were also extremely obedient, conducting whatever research was directed, allowing Li Qing's various technologies to explode in growth in their hands.
However, the foundation of their utility was their own immortality, believing that every generation of Light Ancient God they've supported was a puppet they launched, with deep-seated arrogance in their bones.
"What is the current situation?"
The Light Ancient God joined the queue.
"Everyone is ready and can enter the realm via this Cosmic Bridge at any time, directly targeting the Abyss Realm," said the Light Ancient God, "We're just waiting for Your Majesty's command."
The Light Ancient God nodded, "Then let's begin!"
"Yes!"
With an array of orders, countless Angels started their expedition, densely advancing through the tunnel, charging towards the Abyss World.
The army soon descended, observing this churning sea of the Abyss, and then looking up at the spiraling Ancient Dragon.
"We implore the Bright Ancient Tree to act!"
With the roars of the entire Angel Legion, a giant vine descended into the Abyss World like a long rope exiting a cave.
No dialogue occurred, and the two sides immediately engaged in combat.
"Take action!"
The Light Ancient God ordered, "Assist our Heavenly Dao."
"Yes!" One by one, the Angels quickly responded.
This is the accumulated hundred-thousand-strong Abyss army, most of whom practiced the Ultimate Tao Scripture with a standard near the Ninth Layer, equipped with ten full gear sets.
The paper combat power of these Ten-winged Angels stood at 110 Layer Ancient God, the basic limit living beings could reach.
Although these patchwork monsters were far from reaching such heights.
But assisting the Ancient Tree in besieging this 1400-plus-layer Celestial Phenomena Ancient Dragon dealt tremendous damage nonetheless.
Roar!
With an indignant low roar, the Ancient Dragon was utterly exasperated, "Why am I this generation, why was I beaten as soon as I was born!"
This generation of Ancient Dragon was furious!
It just gained consciousness, accepted the memories of its predecessors, only to find the former generations were too useless!
With a looming catastrophe, what were they doing?
They weren't planning for the Ancient Dragon's early retreat but acted as if it didn't concern them!
They played and wandered everywhere, knowing the harm wouldn't come to them, and by the time the enemy arrived, they would have already descended as Celestial Humans.
The one getting beaten wasn't them.
In fact, rather than preemptively splitting a part of the Ancient God's shell to escape, they deliberately left a fully intact Ancient Dragon.
Why?
Because the longer the Ancient Dragon held out, the more time those Celestial Humans had to escape.
Upon realizing these things, this generation of Ancient Dragon was completely dumbfounded!
Were they still humans?
In a certain sense, they inherited the lineage, and those predecessors counted as its parents, while it was a new life form born after their death and departure.
But now, it felt like killing its father!
"Elis did not deceive me!!! I am irreconcilable with the former Celestial Humans," the Ancient Dragon roared in fury, engaging in a world-shaking battle with the Ancient Tree.
"Hahahahahaha!"
This generation of Ancient Tree laughed continuously, displaying a mocking expression, "You are so filthy and disgraceful internally, being harmed by your own, why not wait here quietly for death!"
The verbal battles had been so prolonged, there was nothing more painful than this generation's one-sided thrashing.
The more aggrieved this generation of Ancient Dragon felt, the more pleased this generation of Ancient Tree became.
With a boom, the Ancient Tree suddenly made a move, starting to strangle the Ancient Dragon, their massive forms obscuring the sky and collapsing the surrounding worlds.
And the Angels beside them continued to assist, silently striking from a distance.
"Incredible jealousy."
"Why am I not the one now?"
"Indeed, I wish I were the Ancient Tree Will of this era."
The crowd endlessly bantered.
The Ancient Dragon fought without any intention of battling, just wanting to split its substantial body into various small dragons, and flee to the Lower Realm.
Moreover, the Ancient Tree had plenty of hands at its disposal to assist, sieging the lone and isolated Ancient Dragon, placing it at an overwhelming disadvantage.
"Wait!" At this moment, the Ancient Dragon shouted.
"What madness are you yelling now??" the Ancient Tree's Will exclaimed in fury, "Your fate is certain! Tremble with fear! Blame the Celestial Humans who left you to take a beating!"
"My lifespan is up, I'm descending to the Lower Realm," the Ancient Dragon murmured quietly.
The Ancient Tree's Will was initially startled upon hearing this, and quickly realized that it had gotten carried away with the fight. With only a few seconds of lifespan left, it feared its own death.
Though thrashing an old nemesis felt satisfying, it had no desire to die.
It urgently needed to leave Heaven's Dao and reincarnate to the Lower Realm.
"You reincarnate first," the Ancient Tree's Will nodded, speaking honestly, "We shall not interfere with each other."
