**'Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion'**

Chapter 519: Chapter 518: Humanity King

Din paused, his expression anything but calm. He really hadn’t expected that.

And what did Void mean by a month?

Had he really been unconscious for an entire month?

Din slowly pulled himself up as the cold breeze blew against him, making him instinctively cover himself.

"When one door closes, another opens."

"Din, maybe you can’t become a vessel of the gods, nor remain a mixed being carrying the demon bloodline. But perhaps... you have another path waiting for you. A path you have yet to discover," Void spoke.

Din paused, his expression filled with conflict.

"Another path? What could that be?" Din wondered.

Without a doubt, it had to be related to how he had somehow survived an entire month without food or water.

"Osiris... any clue?" Din asked.

But Void didn’t answer.

"Osiris?" Din called again.

Still...

Silence.

After calling several more times, Din began to wonder if Osiris had never been real in the first place...

Perhaps he had merely been a hallucination.

Just then...

His stomach rumbled loudly as overwhelming hunger flooded his mind.

For a brief moment, he almost fainted from starvation.

Then...

A soothing, gentle energy flowed from the earth beneath him into the soles of his feet.

That energy not only eased his unbearable hunger, but he also felt his body grow slightly stronger.

More importantly...

He could actually control this energy.

Void’s earlier words echoed inside his mind.

Without another thought, Din made up his mind.

Completely naked, he sat cross-legged on the beach and closed his eyes.

---

Time passed slowly as Void silently observed the world.

The search for Din intensified.

Gradually, even the battle between the gods and the immortals was blamed on him.

Before long, Din had been turned into some sort of demonic god in the stories spread across the world.

A monster everyone feared.

A being everyone wanted dead.

Even the survivors of the Super City, especially those who had fought alongside Din, couldn’t believe it.

But it was the gods who had spoken.

Their words were backed by the immortals.

In the end...

Wouldn’t that make them the truth?

Slowly, even their hearts began to change.

Perhaps...

Din had only been pretending all along.

A year passed as the world slowly began recovering.

The oxygen level was still low.

Ruins and forbidden zones covered the lands.

But the religions of the gods had begun flourishing.

Temples rose everywhere.

Great immortal sects were established one after another.

The people believed the world was healing.

In reality...

It was merely the gods and immortals recovering their own strength.

---

After disappearing for an entire year...

Din finally emerged.

He bypassed every mortal city and headed directly toward the Central Continent...

The Plane of the Gods.

At this moment, he wore a simple shirt and jeans beneath a long black hooded cloak.

His gaze had changed.

It had become calmer...

More mature.

His body appeared lean, yet every muscle seemed tightly packed with explosive strength.

"Gods... Immortals..."

"I’m back."

Din’s voice echoed across the heavens.

It spread not only throughout the Central Continent but even to the northern, southern, eastern, and western continents.

Believers...

Martial warriors...

Newly born immortal cultivators...

All looked toward the Central Continent, wondering who had uttered such a voice.

The gods awoke.

The immortals opened their eyes.

Their gazes locked onto Din.

"You..."

The God of Light spoke as the sky brightened.

A gigantic sun manifested overhead.

The remaining immortals emerged one after another.

The gods descended as their Rank 2 auras exploded outward.

Space groaned beneath their presence as cracks spread across the heavens.

Instantly, the mortals and weaker cultivators fled.

A battlefield spanning over a thousand miles was formed.

The gigantic dharmas of the immortals towered over the heavens like divine beings.

Meanwhile, the gods transformed into colossal figures.

Every single one of them stared coldly at Din as overwhelming killing intent spread throughout the world.

"Yes..."

"Me."

Din calmly replied as he lowered his hood.

The hatred in the gods’ eyes intensified.

Meanwhile, the immortals directly drew upon the will of the world.

Stars appeared within the bright daytime sky as countless terrifying attacks were unleashed.

One had to understand...

At this very moment...

Din possessed no aura.

He appeared no different from an ordinary mortal.

Yet neither the gods nor the immortals cared.

They wanted only one thing.

To kill him once and for all.

Watching their attacks descend...

Watching the entire world seem to freeze beneath their might...

Din’s heart turned completely cold.

At first, he had still hesitated.

He had believed there might be another way.

Perhaps...

They could still coexist.

But now...

He finally understood.

He had never merely been a vessel chosen by the gods.

Nor was he simply someone who had received power from Void.

He...

Was the protector of the mortals.

The one personally chosen by the world itself.

The crying child he had once heard...

It had never been meaningless.

After an entire year...

He finally understood.

Those tears...

Were the regrets of the world itself.

It already knew.

The gods...

The immortals...

None of them truly cared.

All they desired was complete control over the world.

Complete control over its power.

The attack before him was proof enough.

They hadn’t even bothered trying to contain it.

At least a thousand miles of land would be completely erased.

The stronger cultivators...

Perhaps they would survive.

Even the strongest believers might escape.

But the countless mortals...

The weaker cultivators...

The ordinary believers...

They would all be wiped out.

Yet simply to kill him...

The gods and immortals had chosen this path without hesitation.

They had long since been consumed by greed.

Power was all they desired.

Now...

Din finally understood why he had been chosen.

Peace slowly filled his heart.

There were no more "what ifs."

This...

Was the end.

Today...

The gods...

And the immortals...

Would meet their end.

Din stepped forward.

Like gentle ripples spreading across the surface of a calm sea, a soft energy pulsed outward from him.

The grasses swayed.

The trees trembled.

The rivers flowed.

The mountains resonated.

The energy spread across the entire planet.

The apocalyptic attacks descending from the heavens...

Suddenly seemed as though they had never existed.

"What...?"

"Is Osiris back?"

The instant their attacks disappeared, the gods and immortals looked around warily. The fear of Osiris still lingered in their hearts.

But no matter how they searched, Osiris was nowhere in sight.

If it wasn’t him...

Then who had done this?

"Come out, Osiris!"

Most of them released their auras as space shattered, revealing the second layer of space.

But alas...

Osiris never appeared.

Just then, the entire world trembled.

The gods and immortals instantly frowned before their expressions turned into horror.

The power they once wielded...

The connection they had with the world that made them almost invincible...

Was slowly disappearing.

"W-What’s happening?" one of them asked as a gigantic will descended upon them.

They instantly struggled as their Rank 2 auras erupted.

But it was all to no avail.

"You are being stripped away..."

A calm voice echoed across the world.

The gods and immortals finally turned toward Din.

Shock and confusion filled their eyes.

No matter what...

Din shouldn’t have been alive by now.

They hadn’t even sensed him.

Yet now...

He stood before them.

How?

"You all..."

"...have been nothing but greedy bastards."

Din spoke slowly as his body began to grow.

From less than two meters...

To five...

Twenty...

One hundred...

Until he reached the same height as the dharmas of the immortals and gods.

Then...

Five hundred meters.

He continued growing, surpassing even them.

At the end...

Din stood touching the heavens, his body seeming to fill the entire world.

Every human who witnessed him felt their souls resonate with his presence as they knelt one after another.

The wind howled.

The trees swayed.

The rivers surged and crashed.

The oceans rolled with gigantic waves.

Animals all over the world roared.

The destroyed lands...

The death zones...

The shattered spaces...

All seemed to receive new life as they slowly began healing one after another.

"For how long have you both brought destruction upon this world?"

"For how long have you turned yourselves into the sky that covers everything?"

"For how long have you remained so arrogant?"

Din’s voice echoed slowly and deeply as the very earth rose toward the heavens.

"Impossible..."

One of the gods muttered before falling from his position.

The God of Light suddenly found himself unable to resonate with the Sun or wield the Law of Light.

The same happened to the God of Wind.

The God of the Sea.

One after another...

Their Laws abandoned them.

Likewise, the immortals found their immortal arts being stripped away.

One after another.

"H-How..."

"W-Why did you choose him?" one of the immortals shouted toward the heavens.

"How is he doing this?" another god cried out.

"You all shall be judged today."

"The mortals shall no longer suffer because of you."

Instead of answering their questions, Din pronounced judgment.

The heavens cracked with lightning as rain poured down upon the world.

Like a great cleansing...

It washed away the scars and suffering the world had endured.

The dried oceans came back to life.

The burned forests crumbled as floods carried away the ashes and the ruined topsoil.

"From dust one came..."

"...and to dust one shall return."

"You immortals and gods shall cease to exist today."

"Your blood shall become nourishment for the plants to bloom."

"Your flesh shall become the very earth upon which mortals walk."

"Your bones shall become mountains that reach the heavens and bless the land."

"Your tendons shall become mighty beasts that roam the world."

"Your muscles shall become vibrant, colossal sea monsters that bring prosperity to the oceans."

"Your organs shall transform into blessed treasures that shall protect the mortals."

"So it is judged..."

"...by the Will of the World..."

"...and by the Human King."
