Chapter 1040: Chapter 465: The Great Annihilation Begins, Wailing Star River

As the icy chill descended, an incomprehensible power slowly emanated from the void.

Multicolored twisted patterns emerged on their bodies, but if you looked closely, beneath this dazzling array lay pure darkness.

The patterns came so quickly, without any warning, and at the moment they were reflected.

Buzz~

The deities who were awakening the Star River within began to fade rapidly; the once brilliant Star River was suppressed in the blink of an eye.

The ancient trees, which were originally torn apart, also began to appear out of nowhere, squeezing dry in the void, with thick branches falling like sharp spears.

Splurt! Splurt!!

Rapidly piercing the bodies of the crowd present.

“No!! Don’t!! I don’t want to lose my memory and become a puppet!!”

“Let go of me!! Let go of me!! You are desecrating the gods!”

“What do you want to do!! What do you want!!”

The deities who had just shown an astonishing aura now appeared utterly helpless and weak, indistinguishable from mere mortals.

However, in response to their wails and cries, the actions of the ancient trees did not pause for even a moment; instead, they became even faster.

A few extraordinarily powerful beings tried to dodge the piercing branches, but those branches were too strange, like some kind of causal lock. No matter how they struggled, how they evaded, using any rule, they couldn’t escape the impending branches.

It seemed that when the ancient trees appeared, everything was already destined.

In the end, those few who tried to escape were pierced through like rabbits caught in ropes, their bodies suspended upside down on the ancient trees.

The ancient trees reverberated with a loud bang, and then all the faces hanging upside down began to change, twist, those with features had their features relocated, and those without features sprouted new ones from nowhere.

In the blink of an eye, their faces transformed into that of a young boy, and their figures unknowingly became the same.

Like reflections copied from a mirror, each face handsome but filled with confusion and helplessness.

Like puppets drained of their souls.

At this moment, only one person remained standing on the ground, not pierced through by the ancient trees and suspended above, the original figure with blood-red hair.

Unlike the deities who changed appearance once freed from the ancient trees, the figure with blood-red hair remained unchanged from start to finish.

If Su Tu were here, he would be extremely shocked because this blood-red-haired figure was none other than an exact replica of himself, the Blood-haired Su Tu who had appeared in his dreams…

The expression of Blood-haired Su Tu was extremely ferocious at this moment. He stared intently at the top of the ancient trees where a green canopy rested, and above the canopy seemed to be an existence observing everything indifferently.

At this instant, the space seemed to be completely enveloped by some power, time paused, and an indescribable pallor covered everything. A figure gradually walked out of the green shade.

“Finally, the day has come. This is the beginning, and the end; the commencement and the conclusion.”

The figure spoke in an extremely calm voice, a calmness that was terrifying.

Blood-haired Su Tu gazed at the figure, apparently wanting to say something, but before he could speak.

Screech!!!

The largest of branches directly pierced through his abdomen, twisting him up onto the ancient trees, positioned just a half-step away from the green-canopied crown.

The light in Blood-haired Su Tu’s eyes began to dim as he hung upon the tree, eventually turning lifeless like the others, akin to a puppet.

At this moment, the ancient trees burst forth with an expansive light, like a colossal canvas, depicting the faces of all the races in the Star River and the landscapes of all the planets, with all merging into this canvas.

Then, the ancient trees slowly descended from the void, rooting upon the Immortal Ship.

“Causality, causality, all men know these two words, but…”

“Is it cause first and then effect, or effect first and then cause, who can truly elucidate this….”

The figure muttered softly, stepping towards the highest canopy, pausing as he passed by Blood-haired Su Tu, gazing at Su Tu’s face.

“It’s truly like looking in a mirror….”

The person forced a smile, then as he let his gaze fall, everything and everyone before him looked identical to Su Tu!!

As for that person….the smile on his lips slowly faded, and his appearance was identical to them!!

Then, that person stepped into the canopy above.

With a roaring sound, the ancient trees began to grow rapidly, twisting and transforming.

The form became increasingly similar to the twisted wood controlled by the World Light!!!

The growth of the ancient trees accelerated continuously, with the branches piercing through space, the ends of hundreds of branches showing signs of spatial fractures.

As the special space where the Immortal Ship resided was on the verge of collapse.

Buzz!!!

The ancient trees ceased extending outward, instead letting incredibly mysterious auras flow slowly through the branches, seeping into the real world through those cracked fissures.

Meanwhile…

At the highest point of the Star River, the gathering place of death, the Death Star Realm.

This eternally silent, uninhabited location suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling light.
