Chapter 1470: Chapter 47: Calamity of the Silent Star River (Part 2)
"All things will be extinguished, all phenomena will cease.
Non-contention is truly mockery,
the peaceful illusion is destined to wither away.
Extreme corruption and poison, its name is the heart.
Invading the world through delusions and obsessions,
even an eternal realm is an Abyss Hell."
The light of the blood-red star descends onto the earth, transforming into black-red disaster fire through chanting. The foundation of the world trembles to the lament, everything in sight burns in the starlight, and even the intangible soul shudders in the God’s chanting.
The once joyful and uplifted people return to silence at this moment. Indescribable mourning and madness flood their hearts, the people of Earth prostrate and tremble ceaselessly. They wish to wail, to pray, to plead, yet the fate of all things and phenomena has long been sealed; in the chaotic world, only the blood-red radiance shines.
"The grieving masses and the despairing era, play the end song.
The heart ember is forged into the Sword of the Evil Star, breaking the eternal law.
With this strike, burn everything to ashes.
Praying for the peace of soulless silence."
At the moment the chant is completed, the blood-red evil star falls towards life. Those witnessing the arrival of the evil star recall legends and myths in a daze. The world-destroying flood, the ultimate day of judgment, the extinction-inducing meteorite—since ancient times, tales symbolizing "world-ending disasters" have been passed down across countries and lands, those ancient stories once providing meme skills for Silent Phase Mages.
But delusions should have real-world prototypes; apocalyptic myths shouldn’t be fashioned by unseeing mortals. Now the root of the disaster appears, insight emerges in the mortal heart. What descends at this moment is the root disaster before the rebirth of all phenomena. It is the source of death, the cause of self-annihilation, and the original archetype of all "doomsday disasters."
It is the end of the Eternal Era, the King at despair’s end, the enemy of eternal civilization, the calamity of silent Star River!
"Final Mythology Nailuo Evil Star!"
Carrying the silent death domain, with ten thousand lengths of disaster flame, Nai Luo Evil Star falls outside the cosmos towards the youth.
Without needing a verbal reminder, Gongsun Ce can see the essence of this skill clearly. There will no longer be Silent Phase Skills that surpass this strike, because the evil star is the origin of all "world-ending disasters." He gazes at the light from the world’s end, pondering quietly before destruction approaches.
The lives obliterated by the evil star, what was their final plea?
Mortals struggling in agony, would they rejoice in death?
No need to imagine further, just one glance at the faces of Earth’s beings yields the absolute correct answer. They do not wish to perish, do not want to be killed; even altruistic elders like Celeste and Macrow will never accept an imposed end. Fury and indignation swirl in the heart, turning into the youth’s silent roar. Why should ordinary beings die due to your sole madness? Why should innocents suffer from your solitary obsession?
"Young Lady, Alandia." Gongsun Ce says quietly, "Allow me to be willful once, okay?"
The arms of the Heavenly Demon manifest alone, floating in front of the two. The girls poised to advance are startled upon hearing this, grasping the Heavenly Demon’s hand with a helpless smile.
No longer hesitating, without doubt, Gongsun Ce makes up his mind. He retrieves Rainbow Winged Lord’s gift from his bosom, stepping alone towards the starlight.
Blood-red starlight engulfs the vision, swaying black flames scorch the world. Amid the hellish tableau where all descends, at the distant end of starlight, a peculiar hue shines.
It is a seven-colored rainbow, the hues shriveled, outlines crude, like a child’s casual crayon drawing. But the light of the evil star halts before that hue, the seven-colored rainbow flourishes in the perishing world, a new chant resounds in the silent world—not the lament of the cosmos, but a voice comprehensible by mortals!
"Twinkling stars, eternal existence.
Majestic as such, eternal like the heavens.
The earthly world gazes up in admiration, revered as Gods, named fate."
The rainbow’s hue grows ever more vivid, a Xu Ying bearing wings emerges from the rainbow light. From the First Seal to the Seventh Seal, the angelic impression symbolizing the Eternal King becomes vivid through chanting and then disintegrates one by one. They regroup into a long-bearded elder, clad in splendid robes with a gaunt face, bright light gleaming in murky eyes.That is curiosity, joy, and a heart committed to understanding the unknown and history. He raises his hand to point at the source, the evil star, bellowing boldly like a young man.
The old voice overlaps with the young shout, equally grand equally brave, with fearless passion.
"Time flows, the mortal world alternates.
Puzzlement clears away, heaven’s reason comprehended.
The light of fireflies dares compete with sun and moon,
the wisdom of mortals can also rival Gods.
Climb the long rainbow and cross the blazing heavens,
write the legend of pioneering hope."
The elderly Xu Ying vanishes amidst laughter, leaving the initial rainbow behind Gongsun Ce alone. That rainbow light is no longer crude; every beam of light shines brilliantly, like the most fanciful dream a child ever had.
It is the embodiment of pioneers, also the hope and imagination of mortals. Its brilliance dispels the disaster fire of the evil star, forming a bright path ahead of Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce steps, runs, traverses the rainbow bridge, sprinting towards the evil star at the myth’s end. He shouts in place of the departed elder, his roar echoing through the silent Star River!
"——Transcendence·Rainbow of the Blazing Heaven!"
The rainbow extends infinitely to both sides, forming angel-like wings. The dashing youth leaps, flaring wings flying towards Nai Luo Evil Star. The invincible disaster halts at this moment, a rainbow trajectory cuts through the extinction’s black-red hue.
People incredulously gaze up at the sky; they witness the darkness collapsing, the sky reemerging, clearing hope rainbow rises amidst the death domain!
Blood and fire sweep through Gongsun Ce’s vision endlessly; the annihilating force meant to destroy everything glides past his side like flowing water. Never such lightness of sight, never such exuberant bursting. That is extreme speed, transcending all myths and legends, unrivaled divine speed.
That speed stems from Rainbow Winged Lord’s lifelong plea, an elderly sage exploring to unravel mysteries—the "pioneer" at civilization’s forefront. Only the foremost pioneer possesses unmatched speed to transcend others; the researcher of new phenomena is the ancient being’s nemesis. Firmly believing humanity’s wisdom will surpass ancient beings, thus the wish-shaped rainbow light becomes wings transcending myths!
"What apocalypse, just a star!" Gongsun Ce roars, "Brace yourselves, stupid woman!!"
The swift youth turns into a stream of light, blood and fire blur into streaks in the divine speed. In the vision Nai Luo Evil Star approaches, the core of the star being the black-red King. In mutual charge through each other’s vision, the Silent King silently raises the sword, yet the divine speed of rainbow wings surpasses.
Gongsun Ce roars as he punches, his fist striking the Silent King’s heart. The unparalleled punch changes the evil star’s trajectory; the transmitting intense emotion from the fist turns the disaster back into the black-haired king!
