When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 1081 - 411: The Loser Becomes the Prisoner (Part 3)

"If you’re seeking death, then I..." Tang Tianzhen’s words were interrupted as his expression slightly changed.

Li Boyang’s fist, which he was holding, suddenly exploded with unimaginable force, forcibly blasting Tang Tianzhen’s body away.

Tang Tianzhen’s body flew backward like a meteor, crashing into the Light Cocoon with a fierce impact, causing it to sway, and countless Light Threads shook ceaselessly, breaking apart in patches.

"Even if you are the undefeated Evolver, what of it? I am about to return to the primary universe and naturally must challenge those undefeated throughout eternity. I don’t even consider them worth acknowledging, let alone you." Li Boyang looked at Tang Tianzhen and said disdainfully.

"As expected, the Purple Dragon Emperor indeed lives up to his name; I underestimated you." Tang Tianzhen slowly stood up, left the Light Cocoon, and finally looked at Li Boyang with a serious gaze.

"The Purple Dragon Emperor died at the moment of his defeat; now there is only Li Boyang in this world. Leave your true name; beneath the name Li Boyang, I don’t strike down the nameless." Li Boyang said lightly.

"Tang was my surname before entering the primary universe. In the primary universe, I go by the name Tianzhen, so the name Tang Tianzhen is true." Tang Tianzhen replied.

"Innocent..." Li Boyang murmured these two words, his gaze moved slightly, and he looked at Tang Tianzhen, saying, "Are you the founder of the Innocent and Guileless Stream?"

"The Innocent and Guileless Stream was indeed carried by me to the primary universe, but I dare not claim the title of founder. It is the foundation of cosmic fortune, civilization, and legacy, the crystallization of countless generations of wisdom. I merely became its spokesperson at the right time." Tang Tianzhen said.

Li Boyang looked at Tang Tianzhen, suddenly turned around without a word, and disappeared in an instant.

Tang Tianzhen immediately realized something, exerted his force and vanished similarly. When he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of the Jade Tunnel.

"The time hasn’t come... better stay here..." Tang Tianzhen’s words weren’t finished when he saw Li Boyang appear under the Light Cocoon, lift it with one hand, and press it like a meteor towards Tang Tianzhen.

Tang Tianzhen’s gaze turned cold: "Do you think you can enter the Time Tunnel this way?"

He showed no sign of retreat, reaching out with a hand towards the Light Cocoon, pressing against the meteor-like Light Cocoon.

Mysterious force coursed through the Light Cocoon, affecting Li Boyang’s pressing palm. Li Boyang squinted, smiling even more broadly, his long hair flying wildly, with purple qi swirling around him like a deep abyss like a dragon.

To Tang Tianzhen’s surprise, Li Boyang’s other palm struck the bottom of the Light Cocoon, sending it skyward.

There was no longer any barrier between them, Li Boyang revealing an eerie smile as his whole body collided with Tang Tianzhen, directly striking him, and they together fell into the Time Tunnel, disappearing instantly.

Belona and the other fifteen Ancestral Spirits pierced through the void, returning before the Light Cocoon, confronting each other with puzzled looks.

They all saw the scene that had just unfolded and heard the conversation between Li Boyang and Tang Tianzhen, yet they still couldn’t understand why the two had fought amongst themselves.

"Now isn’t the time to ponder those things. While they have yet to determine a winner, we must immediately stop the Devouring Spirit Threads from consuming the world’s creatures, or else our world will truly be damned." The old ancestral spirit, with a pipe, said as he looked at the Light Cocoon.

"Indeed." Belona nodded, looking at the Light Cocoon: "Originally, the power of the Devouring Spirit Threads wasn’t difficult for us to break through together, but now it has merged with the Spirit Suppressing Stone and Li Xiu’s power, and severing it may be very difficult. If it hadn’t been for Li Boyang shattering the Light Shield and connected Devouring Spirit Threads earlier, we would likely be unable to escape even now."

"Difficult or not, we must try. Do you expect us to just watch the world be destroyed? Besides, once they emerge, whoever survives will be a huge trouble for us. We must resolve the Devouring Spirit Threads before they come out." The old man snorted coldly.

"Certainly not. I mean, how can we sever the Devouring Spirit Threads? Li Boyang could shatter them because he had a connection with it. How can we cut it off?" Belona rolled her eyes.

"It can only be resolved using the Light of Ancestral Spirits." The old man said.

"No... that would also kill Li Xiu..." Belona immediately rejected the old man’s proposal.

"Do you have a better solution besides that?" The old man coldly retorted.

"Under no circumstance can Li Xiu die," Belona insisted, staring at the old man.

"He has no escape; even if we don’t kill him, he’s already been consumed by the Devouring Spirit Threads, leaving only his body without a soul. And we have no way to separate the Devouring Spirit Threads from his body." The old man spoke.

Belona fell silent, knowing the old man spoke truth; with the Devouring Spirit Threads directly invading his body, Li Xiu’s soul was likely devoured entirely, even if she forcibly separated them, the best outcome for Li Xiu would only be a soulless shell akin to death.

Moreover, they had no way to separate the two, and killing them both seemed the only option now.

"Stop hesitating; once the Devouring Spirit Threads ascend, even united through the Light of Ancestral Spirits, we might not be able to kill it then, rendering Li Xiu’s death even more worthless." The old man urged.

All Ancestral Spirits glanced at each other, their hearts made up, knowing this was their last chance.

"Then let’s do it." Belona looked helplessly toward the Light Cocoon.

All Ancestral Spirits nodded in unison, the sixteen spirits took their positions, encircling the Light Cocoon within.

A point of Divine Light sparkled from the chest of each Ancestral Spirit, heating their chests like a furnace; the brightness intensified, illuminating their entire beings, the Light of Ancestral Spirits blazing like torches.

The sixteen brilliant rays rose continuously, gradually merging, transforming into a blazing sun that enveloped the Light Cocoon, scorching it endlessly.

The sun brightened ever more, soon illuminating the entire Demon Spirit Realm, even the darkest Bottomless Pit was lit up like daylight.

The boundless Demon Spirit Realm, the dwelling spirits all gazed at the sky’s sun, eyes filled with both fear and panic, and also with delight and hope.

Under the continuous burn of the Light of Ancestral Spirits, connected soul-devouring Devouring Spirit Threads began breaking one by one.

As the sixteen Ancestral Spirits and many dwelling spirits rejoiced, a figure emerged from the Time Tunnel.
