CHAPTER 2686: CHAPTER 2684: LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH

"Ethan Smith, wake up!"

It was an exceedingly distant voice, one that had been calling him for countless years.

At this moment, he finally heard it faintly.

The voice felt very familiar to him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember.

At this moment, his memory had been completely erased, and his soul was as blank as a newborn’s.

The only thing he felt was that the voice was very familiar, with a deep, instinctive familiarity in the depths of his soul.

"Ethan Smith, come on! It will be too late if you wait any longer!"

The voice started to sound a bit anxious as his divine soul was once again captured by a powerful force.

He crossed another barrier, one even more ancient than the Divine Space.

Within it were countless gigantic bones, including a sacred dragon reaching hundreds of meters long.

Among the drifting bones in this barrier, some emitted a power that shook Ethan Smith’s soul.

Huge skeletons of gods and demons could be seen everywhere here.

There were even countless broken weapon fragments, some of which were heavily covered in grime.

Surprisingly, towering trees grew from them, floating who’ve-knows-how-long.

The endless barrier was almost entirely filled with these things.

Each item brought Ethan Smith immense soul trembling, these

Within the huge space ahead, Ethan Smith felt the voice growing extremely strong.

He was somewhat confused, not knowing what was happening.

Amidst the dim light reflected by the great stars, Ethan Smith saw a space emitting radiant divine light.

The sudden massive gravitational force came from that space ahead, accelerating his soul’s pull.

A floating throne appeared before Ethan Smith, with a person in imperial robes sitting upon it.

He held a large broad sword in his hand, eyes slightly closed.

His body hadn’t decayed into bones like others; instead, it was perfectly preserved.

Nearby, tens of thousands of meters’ worth of corpses were actually kneeling silently, their energies fully retracted to almost zero.

These bones seemed to be worshiping their king, and as Ethan Smith slowly approached the throne,

he felt uneasy. The terrifying energy emanating from the person on the throne made him frightened.

However, as he got closer, he felt an inexplicable familiarity.

The king with golden hair seemed to have a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Who are you, why do I feel so familiar with you!"

Ethan Smith’s head throbbed painfully, the familiar yet elusive feeling was driving him mad.

At this moment, Ethan Smith’s expression suddenly froze, above the throne.

The whole sky suddenly lit up and went from night to daytime.

All around, the skeletons and weapon fragments vibrated violently for an instant, and then slowly decomposed into countless invisible particles.

In the next moment, a bolt of cosmic lightning descended fiercely.

Even before the lightning struck, Ethan Smith felt his very divine soul starting to melt.

At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from Ethan Smith’s sea of consciousness.

"It’s been so long, finally back here, after being lost for so many years, finally back here... King, you indeed did not betray us..."

At this moment, a surging consciousness suddenly appeared in Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge.

For an instant, it seized control over Ethan Smith’s soul, a breath in Ethan Smith’s Sea of Consciousness ignited.

Subsequently, in Immortal Emperor’s hand appeared a Judge’s Pen.

It was the Judge pen that Ethan Smith acquired in the Ghost World, but after entering the Holy Kingdom, he did not notice its presence.

It turned out after entering the Holy Kingdom, the body of the Judge pen was destroyed, but the life-and-death aura it constructed was sealed by the Immortal Emperor in Ethan Smith’s six senses, now that aura broke out completely.

"Even you, get lost from me!"

A gigantic symbol of "Death" abruptly shaped in Immortal Emperor’s hand.

Upon colliding with the lightning, Ethan Smith only felt himself swept into a terrifying turmoil.

All around, was a world constructed by thunder and lightning.

The world of life and death upheld by the pen’s tip resisted the lightning for barely a moment.

It shattered directly, the Thunderous Force penetrated straight into Ethan Smith’s body.

"King, have you also returned?"

A choking voice emanated from Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge.

The man on the throne, unbeknownst to him, had stood up at some point.

With two fingers, he pinched the lightning, and that cosmic Thunderous Force froze in his hands, unable to move.

With a flick of his wrist, the lightning abruptly changed direction, rushing elsewhere.

In the unseen realms, a fierce and malicious consciousness let out an enraged roar, seemingly to the utmost extreme rage.

The void space where Ethan Smith stood, at this moment, trembled wildly.

All the stars trembled like little boats violently at this instant.

As a radiant light passed by, the stars simply turned to dust.

"I borrow your strength for a use!"

The man on the throne slowly stretched out his right hand.

"Yes!"

In this barrier land, Ethan Smith heard a unanimous shout.

In an instant, endless radiance completely illuminated this place, even the broken bones.

At this moment, they seemed to regain consciousness, passing all remaining power onto that right hand.

With the last remnants of power fading, these corpses disappeared slowly.

As if their existence here was only to await this moment.

"Everyone, I’ll be with you soon."

At this moment, in the man’s hand, shone a divine light brighter than the sun, the sword in his left hand.

Unbeknownst to when, it had turned into a giant bow, standing like a Great Wall before the man.

The man on the throne slowly drew the bowstring.

As the string was pulled to its extremes, his body began to shatter.

Whoosh!

The whole realm suddenly darkened, seemingly losing all light at once.

In this encounter, it was as if Ethan Smith’s consciousness was sealed by massive energy.

He didn’t know how long it lasted, before gradually regaining consciousness.

Wave after wave of warmth gradually merged into his divine soul, making his entire body tingle.

Familiar memories returned to his body, one after another.

In front of him, the man who was on the throne had somehow come before him, placing one hand on his hair with a gentle smile.

However, if it weren’t for the cracks covering his face, this scene would have been more beautiful.

"Go back, child, forget all of this..."

Though the memories in his divine soul were still chaotic at this moment, only fragmentary memory power remained in his Sea of Knowledge.
