CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 335: VICTORY

In reality.

Seeing the text on the screen, Yang Qizhou fell into a pensive silence.

Previously, he believed that the game character’s successful acquisition of the "Pure Void Attribute" from the "Dotar tribe ruins," snatched from the hands of the "Eerie Town" in the "Incredible Land," was due to the "Dark Crow of Profane Fortune" restarting the destiny line. Now it seemed far less simple than he had imagined. Behind this, it was highly likely an intervention from the "Dream Realm Sovereign."

"A heavy wager, perhaps?"

"It seems the ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ has placed a much greater stake on the game character than I initially estimated."

Yang Qizhou murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on the phone, awaiting the reaction of the "Doomsday Herald." The "Pure Void Attribute" might provide a resolution to the game’s dire crisis.

At the thought of soon shepherding a Pillar-Level deity and wielding the "Nature" authority of the Ancient God King, an uncontrollable surge of excitement rose within him.

The game continued.

...

"Amid the crimson Doomsday Lands, you ponder deeply, mulling over the nuanced words of the ’Doomsday Herald’ and drawing a myriad of associations."

"You quickly reel in your wandering thoughts, understanding that your immediate priority is to shepherd the ’King of Nature.’ Tentatively, you ask, ’Can this item reverse the current situation?’"

"Perhaps it can, perhaps it cannot. Many factors are involved, and it is not limited to the ’King of Nature.’

"The ’Doomsday Herald’ responded ambiguously."

"That is to say, it also depends on the extent of ’Eerie Town’s’ support for the King of Nature, the attitudes of other Pillar Old Gods, the state of the ’Oath King’ and the ’King of Virtue,’ among other elements. These factors could all influence the trajectory of the situation. You quickly deciphered the deeper meaning behind these words."

"You couldn’t help but ask again, ’What exactly is this item?’"

"It pertains to the essence of the ’Nameless Land.’ It is unspeakable, inexpressible, and unknowable. When you ascend to the level of the ’Old King,’ you will naturally understand... Based on the indirect descriptions of the ’Doomsday Herald,’ one can discern the sheer magnitude of this item’s significance."

"At this moment,"

"The emerald-green, unnameable shadow in the sky grew clearer, nearly solidifying into substance. Its indescribable malice cast down upon the ’Doomsday Lands,’ causing the crimson vistas before you to tremble. Clearly, the ’King of Nature’ was about to transcend the River of Time, descending in its full conceptual form upon the symbolic world of the universe’s end... the Doomsday Lands."

"Time is running out."

"A sense of urgency flared within you, yet you forcibly suppressed your frustration, abandoning further exchanges with the ’Doomsday Herald’ to learn more about the Nameless Land. Without hesitation, you cut straight to the point and asked, ’What should I do next?’"

"The ’Doomsday Herald,’ already prepared, answered the moment your voice fell..."

"Right now, you possess the authority to command the ’Calamity Furnace’ and can wield the symbolic power of the ’Doomfire.’ Once you return to the real world, do not hesitate. Immediately use the ’Pure Void Attribute’ on this Doomsday Artifact. Through its unique properties, I will use it as a medium to momentarily intervene in reality and stall the ’King of Nature’ for five minutes."

"The long, ancient tones laden with unspeakable mystery concluded just as the ’Doomsday Herald’ snapped its fingers. Waves of firelight surged forth like a vast tidal wave, engulfing you in an instant."

"Was such urgency really necessary?"

"Though you understood the critical situation, you couldn’t help but grumble at this ruler of the ’Doomsday Lands,’ who sent you back to reality without so much as a farewell."

"The scenery before your eyes shifted rapidly."

"The crimson world dissipated, and all desolate and ruinous apocalypse imagery vanished. In the blink of an eye, you were back in reality."

"At this moment, you were still in the same posture—a sprint—standing before the ’Calamity Furnace,’ your palm already touching its surface. Both your actions and expressions were identical to those just before you entered the ’Doomsday Lands.’"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness."

"The events in the Doomsday Lands hadn’t synchronized with the real world. Otherwise, you truly might have been too late."

"You secretly heaved a sigh of relief."

"You were keenly aware of just how terrifying the ’King of Nature,’ upon breaking into a Pillar-level existence, truly was. Although it was currently crossing the River of Time in its attempt to descend into the ’Doomsday Lands,’ reclaiming its footing in reality would only be a matter of time—not long at all."

"Indeed, it was even possible for its true form, using the might of ’Nature,’ to directly influence the real world from within the temporal currents."

"You dared not delay any longer, immediately casting out the ’Pure Void Attribute,’ which enveloped the ’Calamity Furnace’ under the command of your will."

"You... have finally... emerged."

"No sooner had you completed this than a voice—a blend of hatred, despair, madness, and horror, yet laced with a paradoxical benevolence—echoed. It rooted you in place, freezing your very soul. For a fleeting moment, you glimpsed innumerable spectral trees embedding themselves into your spirit, taking root, sprouting, and manipulating your will, corrupting your soul, and siphoning your essence as nourishment."

"This was not an assault by the ’King of Nature,’ but rather a form of contamination stemming from the immense and unfathomable power shrouded within its voice."

"As the truth dawned upon you, despair welled uncontrollably in your heart."

"The august tier of a Pillar-level entity was so fearsome that even its mere ravings could cause unspeakable distortions. Confronted with such a monstrosity, how could you ever hope to resist?"
