Chapter 596: Secret Realm 590: Fake Earth! The Profound Immortal’s Black Eye Circles
[Ji] says he wants to destroy the Earth, and it’s not just harsh words.
As a Middle Rank deity, he indeed has this ability.
But doing so would consume a large amount of Faith Power Crystals, even with his wealth, it would be heartbreaking.
So this statement was made as a condition, a condition to force Ma Ran out to negotiate, a condition that cannot be easily refused!
However...
No one paid him any attention at all.
It was as if all the humans on Earth had been taken away by Ma Ran, leaving an empty and desolate world.
Feeling like he was winking at a blind man, Ji was extremely annoyed.
Fighting wits with the air obviously had no meaning.
But...
Directly blowing up the Earth would be too costly.
If not necessary, Ji didn’t want to waste too many Faith Power Crystals.
"My servants, break through it!"
With a thought from Ji, the guard squad composed of Divine Blood Worms split off a hundred Divine Beasts and charged toward the invisible barrier.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Outside the Earth’s atmosphere, there was a layer of membrane.
Invisible, you could faintly touch it if you reached out.
Half an hour quickly passed.
Ji’s expression was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
He finally realized that the invisible barrier enveloping the Earth was extremely tough, and without revealing his trump card, there was no way to tear even a half-centimeter gap.
How could a dignified Middle Rank deity be trapped in such a place?
If word got back to the Divine Court, he would probably lose all face!
"You forced me!"
"Ma Ran, you will also be responsible for the destruction of Earth!"
Ji finally made up his mind and landed on the ground.
He slightly closed his eyes, extended an index finger, and gently touched the ground.
Golden-red air currents slowly spread out, directly penetrating the cement ground, soil, and mineral layers, rapidly heading towards the Earth’s core!
A dozen seconds later, Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
"Core parasitization complete..."
"Decomposition worm maturation complete..."
"For me..."
"Explode!"
With a command, the entire world instantly lost all color.
Boom!
Boundless dazzling white light almost burned the eyes blind.
Rolling heat waves spread from deep within the Earth.
Scorching and viscous magma, carrying a thick sulfurous smell, surged from the Earth’s surface like a fountain.
The entire Earth gradually decomposed in front of Ji.
Explosion! Fragmentation! Destruction!
Ji retrieved half of his guard squad, feeling the consumption of Faith Power Crystals, a painful yet blissful smile appeared on his face.
Earth was destroyed, yet he wouldn’t die because of it.
How could a dignified Middle Rank deity die for such an absurd reason as a planetary explosion?
After blowing up the entire Earth, could the hidden Ma Ran still imprison him?
The cage, broken!
The shackles, shattered!
Feeling the star underfoot gradually being destroyed, and the gravitational pull from the Earth dissipating, Ji’s face showed a look of relief.
However...
A thin yet brilliant sword light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The extremely abrupt Sword Aura swept past Ji’s body without causing him any harm, as if it had never appeared.
The next moment!
Ji tried hard to open his eyes, but his vision was completely white, seeing nothing clearly.
He didn’t stay in place and seized the opportunity, exerting all his strength to try to break out of the cage.
Unfortunately, affected by the external environment, Ji temporarily lost most of his Perception Ability and positioning ability, unable to determine his location.
As the white light faded, Ji opened his eyes, and his breath suddenly stopped.
A perfectly intact blue planet appeared before his eyes.
The Earth, which should have been completely destroyed...
Had fully resurrected.
"Has the entire world been reset?"
"No..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
[Ji] forcibly calmed down.
He raised his head, looking up at the sky, trying to gather more information through other stars in the Solar System.
However, when he saw everything clearly, he not only held his breath but even felt his Divine Soul was about to be completely frozen.
Because...
Above the sky, a blazing sun was emitting dazzling ice-blue light.
Under the cold sunlight, [Ji] felt the energy within his Divine Body slowly dissipating and fading away.
"Frost Star!"
[Ji]’s teeth were chattering, almost uttering the term word by word.
"Earth is indeed a Demon Nest!"
"Here is the wicked nest where True Demons nurture Demon Seeds!"
"Even if I am doomed to die here, I must find a way to get the message out!"
It is well known that the cosmos has been expanding since its birth.
Precisely because of this, the material in the vast universe will become increasingly sparse.
Until one day...
The universe will enter a state of heat death, where almost all matter will transform into thermal energy.
By that time, stars will turn into frozen stars that do not emit light or heat.
Those frozen stars, with very long lifespans and composed of various metals inside, have surfaces at extremely low temperatures, where layers of ice clouds might even form on planets.
And according to ancient legends in the Divine Court, Frost Stars that can emit cold brilliance are different from those frozen stars and are precisely the iconic products of "End Times Resurrection"!
Even though True Demons have not yet entered the scene, and the Demon Prison has not yet been reforged, why is the end of the universe coming?
[Ji] felt icy inside, trembling all over from the fear of the unknown and the end, but he still forced himself to return to a calm state.
If he couldn’t be sure whether self-destruction could break the shackles outside Earth, [Ji] felt he would rather self-destruct than not pass on information about the oncoming end!
Just as [Ji]’s thoughts were flashing rapidly like Electric Fire Stone, a light screen suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The scene within the light screen completely interrupted his thoughts.
...
Earth, China.
Beijing, Guangyu Academy.
In the main hall, a calm gaze in Ma Ran’s eyes was suffused with a faint blue-purple glow.
"Frost Stars represent the so-called ’End Times Resurrection’..."
"I understand now."
All the information about Frost Stars came from a previous life, but the information was too incomplete to deduce any meaningful future, so Ma Ran simulated something slightly to probe the uninvited guest from the Divine Court.
Evidently, everything [Ji] experienced was the work of Ma Ran.
The world in which the Middle Rank God resided was a Secret Realm created by the overlap of the "Creation Inversion" trait of the Sword Master’s Medal and the Youwen Text Illusion.
This Secret Realm, Ma Ran called it [Fake Earth]!
Although an enemy, it cannot be denied that [Ji] was a quality audience.
Before wiping out [Ji], Ma Ran planned to squeeze out his last bit of utility value.
...
In the Pseudo-Earth Secret Realm.
[Ji], at a loss, was attracted by the scene in the Profound Light Mirror.
The feeling of watching a livestream through the livestream felt as bizarre as playing a game within a game, or reading a novel within a novel.
After accepting this setup, [Ji] quickly got used to the feeling.
He even began analyzing and gathering information through the discussions of those "bystanders" in the picture.
"Swordsmanship Secret Realm, Cangming Star, Red Lotus Star System..."
[Ji] frowned: "The combat power of others is temporarily undetermined."
"The Sword Master Lin Qiubai should be like the Prophet Ma Ran, both having reached the Middle Rank God life level and possessing matchless combat power!"
Twenty-five flying swords, which were incarnations of Earth Humans, were still struggling in the peculiar Secret Realm, improving themselves by slaying metal monsters. Their potential was decent, just barely passing, considered stars of the future, yet didn’t need too much attention.
The key lies with those Earth Extraordinary Ones in the VIP seats of the main hall...
Where are they?
What do they plan to do?
What gives them such calmness?
Just as [Ji] calmed his heart to delve deeper into the intelligence information, a handsome young man with slicked-back hair and a pink suit suddenly appeared in the Light Mirror.
"[Profound Immortal], Zhao Guanlan!"
[Ji] squinted his eyes slightly, immediately recognizing the person’s identity.
He noticed that Zhao Guanlan, although charmingly and confidently smiling just like in the intelligence, had...
A black ring around his right eye socket.
As if he had just been beaten up.
It looked...
A bit comical.
