Chapter 576 The Gods Die
The dark, desolate starry sky was gradually stained with an endless crimson by the crimson moon.
It was as if the entire universe was living in a sea of blood.
An Qingyu, his face deathly pale, stood in the center of the blood-red moon, the crimson light reflecting off his back.
His own fragments were destroyed by Jiang Ye, which has pushed him to his limit.
An Qingyu slowly looked at the last floating fragment on her trembling right hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally... we managed to stall them!
He knew that even if Jiang Ye couldn't use the power of time and space for the time being, it would still take some time for him to get out of the time and space wall.
For him, that amount of time was enough.
An Qingyu looked at the blood-red moon, its silvery-white surface now detached, covered with writhing tumors and black tentacles.
Eyes slowly opened on the lunar surface, exuding an eerie feeling.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
At this moment, his plan had been accomplished.
After hearing Cthulhu's whispers, he already knew his own identity, as well as Jiang Ye Qizi's identity.
The reason why An Qingyu's consciousness is still preserved, instead of the [Key to the Gate], is because...
That was when Yeland activated the Third Covenant by voluntarily accepting the contamination of Cthulhu.
The covenant was fulfilled in due time, hence the return from the past, seeking survival in dire straits!
This allowed him to successfully suppress the crazed "Key to the Gate" and see through Lin Qiye's entire scheme!
However, this arrangement was a dead end for Lin Qiye!
To save Lin Qiye, this chaotic and uncertain chess piece must be made into a player!
Jiang Ye was sent to rescue the already crippled Lin Qiye.
The key to this strategy is no longer to continue playing against Azathoth, but... to directly overturn the chessboard!
Let all the pieces become sacrifices and kick them out of the game!
Jiang Ye was able to obtain all of Azathoth's abilities, as well as Lin Qiye's...
An Qingyu frowned, his heart heavy as he thought of the relationship between Lin Qiye and Jiang Ye.
He wasn't 100% sure he could save Lin Qiye, so it was a gamble.
It all depends on Jiang Ye's final choice!
"Qingyu...you!"
At that moment, a voice reached An Qingyu's ears.
He raised his grey eyes, looked at the girl in the white dress standing in the blood-red starry sky, and gave her a gentle smile.
"Jiang Er, don't worry!"
"I will make sure you get out safely."
An Qingyu flung out the fragment of the Key to the Gate from her palm, then clenched her right fist, and the fragment split into three pieces.
One piece flew towards Jiang Er, another towards Nyx who was confronting the two Heavenly Venerables, and the last piece flew to Earth's Great Xia, where Lin Qiye fell into a deep sleep.
An Qingyu glanced at Nix. All he could do for Jiang Ye was to safely eliminate Nix from the game.
Then, his gaze shifted to Jiang Er, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
"Jiang Er, new world! You will remember me, but I may forget you."
"But it's alright, we will meet again eventually!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Er was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, the fragment was already triggered.
Jiang Er, Nix, and the sleeping Lin Qiye disappeared into the dream world.
An Qingyu let out a long sigh of relief. The last fragment shattered, and he lost all his strength, falling towards the blood-red moon.
The black tentacles that had been pulled from the moon enveloped him and pierced his body.
Before her consciousness completely collapsed, An Qingyu looked up at the blood-red starry sky and saw all the gods and night watchmen of the Great Xia Dynasty, her eyes filled with deep regret.
"I'm sorry, but I had no choice but to do this so that Jiang Ye could do it!"
After saying that, An Qingyu's entire body was enveloped by black tentacles and pulled into the blood-red moon.
"The seal... has been broken!"
“Those are the Cthulhu gods. Now that we don’t have the support of the Heavenly Court’s origin, we’re just fish to be slaughtered!”
"However, why did An Qingyu send away the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable? And..."
"Don't guess anymore. The mystery behind this is something we probably can't fathom."
"..."
The gods sighed. Most of them were seasoned veterans of the Heavenly Court's officialdom, and they could more or less guess why the Heavenly Venerable had ordered the Heavenly Court to go to war with the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Phenomena.
They just don't point it out, and they can't point it out.
Thankfully... it was just a dream!
"Heavenly Venerable, Laozi, the seal on the moon has been broken, what should we do...?"
"No need!" Yuanshi Tianzun interrupted the Jade Emperor, and in a flash, he appeared before the gods.
"Gentlemen! This battle... has been hard-fought!"
"A new world is about to be born; your lives are but a fleeting dream!"
"Now... it's time to wake up from this dream!"
The Taoist priest in plain clothes waved his hand, looked at the blood-red moon that was about to shatter, and slowly spoke.
"Fight! Enjoy this final battle!"
The gods and the Night's Watch were all taken aback upon hearing this.
"Grandpa, what does this mean? What kind of dream is this?"
"You Night's Watchmen don't know yet, do you? This world... is just someone's dream."
"And what will this new world give birth to...?"
"Of course, it's time to move on to the next dream!"
"Let's go, let's enjoy this final battle!"
Jiang Ziya gave Zuo Qing a vague explanation, then smiled and left.
Zuo Qing remained silent for a moment, then gripped his straight sword and followed.
The others were also stunned for a moment, but they also went towards the countless black tentacles on the moon without hesitation.
Knowing they were no match for the enemy, but with no way out.
Rather than passively dying, it's better to fight to the very end.
That would be the end of my life.
The gods and the Night's Watchmen charged toward the eerie black tentacles.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Moral Heavenly Venerable are no exception.
"Monkey, what are you doing here? I, the Emperor, have asked the Heavenly Venerable to kick him out of the game, so you won't have to die!"
During the procession, the Jade Emperor, dressed in a white-patterned imperial robe, glanced at Sun Wukong beside him and sighed.
Sun Wukong glanced at him, his face expressionless, seemingly unappreciative of his gesture.
“Even if you don’t do this, I, Old Sun, will still come.”
"As for that new world that old man Yuanshi mentioned, if it really exists, in my next life I, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, will definitely take your place!"
"Give Pigsy and Sandy high-ranking official positions, instead of letting them fall into your trap!"
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and the golden cudgel in his hand emitted a series of ringing sounds as he charged towards the black tentacles that stretched across the starry sky.
The Jade Emperor looked at that retreating figure, his expression not very pleasant.
"There's Nezha, there's the Monkey King, and now there's Yang Jian too. It'll be hard to be reborn as a human!"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and he flashed forward, holding the Haotian Pagoda in his hand.
Behind the gods of Heaven, among the night watchmen.
Si Xiaonan looked at the black tentacles that stretched across the entire starry sky and felt a chill run down her spine.
She suddenly turned back and found Leng Xuan among the many night watchmen wearing dark red cloaks.
She stepped forward and reached out to grasp Leng Xuan's slightly rough hand.
"Leng Xuan, let's go together... on this final journey."
Leng Xuan felt the warmth in his palm, slowly turned his head, and nodded with a heavy look in his eyes.
The promise made under the marriage tree... it seems it will never be fulfilled...
On the other side, Molly, holding a katana, flicked her drunken red hair and looked at the amulet hanging on her wrist, which she had obtained for Baili Pangpang.
A resolute look appeared in her eyes, "If there is an afterlife, Fatty... I don't want you to be Lingbao Tianzun!"
Molly's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she muttered something to herself while looking at the amulet.
Tears floated in the air, but the person had already vanished.
