"I hope this goes smoothly!" Xu Yi felt an inexplicable irritability, but he forcefully suppressed his emotions and stepped into the Domain of the Ancient God's Brain.
Violent Energy assaulted him in an instant, causing Xu Yi's complexion to change slightly, as he felt like a piece of meat dropped into a high-speed blender, about to be shredded into smithereens.
He quickly mobilized the Sub-Divine Power within his body, forming a protective barrier on the surface of his skin.
The Sub-Divine Power was continuously depleted, but, thankfully, it withstood the onslaught of Energy.
Xu Yi finally understood why Jesus had sought him out; without the Sub-Divine Power, he too would have likely had to retreat.

In this desolate, life-forbidden zone, Xu Yi subconsciously hastened his pace, wishing to complete his task quickly and then leave.
After what seemed an eternity, Xu Yi stopped. The Holy Grail in his hand began to tremble, emitting a crisp humming sound.
Xu Yi exhaled deeply; he had finally reached the core of the Ancient God's Brain, and things had gone unexpectedly smoothly.
He relaxed his grip, allowing the Holy Grail to fall. The Grail burst into a pure white light, like a dreamy moon illuminating this core area, calming the agitated "neural fibers" as the purple luminescence gradually dimmed.
The white light carried a force that steadied the heart, easing Xu Yi's irritability.
"That should do it!"
He looked around, preparing to move, when an inexplicable sense of palpitations surged up, akin to a grazing rabbit suddenly sensing the presence of a hungry wolf behind it, sending shivers down his spine.
"With the power he currently possesses, he feels like a rabbit, so what kind of terrifying existence must that thing be?"
A thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind.
...
The Ancient God Altar.
Norris watched as the life of the sacrificial victim drained away, the ancient stele saturated with blood, her heart, hanging in suspense, finally settled.
The Ancient God Sacrificial Organization was on the brink of collapse, but as long as the sacrifice was completed, appeasing the Ancient God Chronos, everything could be quelled.
Just then, a shattering sound came from above, and Norris snapped her head up, her pupils filled with disbelief, "How is this possible? How is it possible?"
The ancient stele had actually cracked!
During their long sacrifices, there had never been a problem with the stele; they had even tried to take samples from it to analyze its composition.
But the stele was deemed indestructible, impervious even to their most powerful cutting equipment.
Yet, unexpectedly, it had now cracked.
Norris's face drained of color, a much more terrifying thought occurring to her: the cracking of the stele meant the sacrifice had failed.
"The end of the world is here!" Despair filled Norris's eyes.
...
In the core region of the Ancient God's Brain, Xu Yi looked warily around, somewhat puzzled.
That sense of heart palpitations had appeared very suddenly, and disappeared just as swiftly, making him question whether he had been delusional.

But he was all too aware that, at his level of strength, the likelihood of a delusion was incredibly low.
At that moment, the Holy Grail suddenly cracked, and a golden pupil opened in the fissure, emitting two beams of golden light that swept across the area.
Wherever the beams of light went, the purple luminescence scattered.
The golden pupil on the Holy Grail, naturally from Jesus, indicated that this Divine Artifact was a part of Jesus himself, but at this moment, Xu Yi distinctly saw fear in Jesus's eyes.
For a brief instant, Xu Yi thought he heard a snicker.
The next second, the Holy Grail fell, and the vast "neural fibers" dissipated, leaving behind a pitch-black void.
Xu Yi's heart felt like it plunged into the icy depths of the Ice Cellar, the snicker emanating from Chronos, mocking their overestimation of themselves.
This Ancient God's Brain was nothing but an illusion, Ancient God Chronos had already Awakened, but He hadn't acted immediately. Instead, He lay in wait, biding His time through the vulnerability of Awakening while retracting His power.
That's why the weaponry of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization had become ineffective; the essence of their armament was the embodiment of Chronos's power.
All was already irretrievable, the countdown to the apocalypse had silently begun.
Xu Yi felt somewhat dazed.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, as the terrifying forces rose from beneath it, like ten thousand volcanoes erupting in unison.
Xu Yi immediately Phased, turning into black smoke as he fled upward, with the horrific Energy chasing after him from behind.
He returned to the surface, hovering in the sky, staring down in horror.
The thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the earth, audible to those thousands of miles away. The bizarre creatures hunting humans in the cities trembled, expressing their supreme reverence for the voice's owner.
The ground cracked open, a cottage in the woods swallowed by a vast fissure, roiling dirt mixed with scorching lava surged out, the scene akin to the coming of the apocalypse.
But this was just an insignificant prelude.
A colossal arm suddenly stretched out from the earth, its surface cracked like lava, its fingers spread wide against the sky, signaling an air of utter domination.
The Ancient God Chronos had escaped confinement, the twilight of the gods had arrived, the world's end had come!
