Chapter 1043: Chapter 466: Destroy Star River, Prolong Reincarnation—All Life Must Die!

“Although I am reluctant to admit it, it should be so.”

“Upon discovering the intrusion of Void Spirits, our race immediately dispatched troops for resistance and attempted communication with the Celestial Divine Race, but was refused. Subsequently, one of our Daoist Masters went to the Celestial Divine Race’s station, only to lose contact.”

“I believe our race is not the only example.”

Upon hearing this, several Supreme leaders in the audience nodded imperceptibly.

These were all established advanced civilizations, making judgments and responses at the first sign of trouble.

Yet, the strong individuals sent for negotiation all mysteriously disappeared, alerting them to something amiss.

“But why?”

One Supreme couldn’t help but speak.

He couldn’t understand why the ultimate civilization would betray and collaborate with the Void Spirits, merely to increase mortality rates? Yet, the population loss of Star River would be a loss for them too, representing a shortage of demographic resources, potentially reducing future possibilities.

This is a completely harmful move with no benefits.

Unless….

“There are forces behind the deaths that we are unaware of, right?”

“Human Race’s strategist…”

“For years, the Human Race has been searching for the path of Ascension to Divinity due to the absence of divine protection, especially as the waves of the gods’ return grow stronger. With the Human Race’s information network, they must be aware of this.

Therefore, in recent years, the Human Race has spent enormous resources and effort researching various types of energy, and the race’s average economy has mysteriously vanished by 30%, assumedly for research.”

The Supreme of the Zhiluo Race spoke earnestly, as each major civilization has its own spies, and everyone is tacitly aware of this information.

“It seems you’ve indeed developed something. I hope the strategist will be willing to share these findings with us during such a time. I can vow with my race’s deities that if this crisis is resolved, even upon the gods’ return, my Zhiluo Race shall never strike against the Human Race!

Our race will become the Human Race’s everlasting friend!”

The Zhiluo Race’s Supreme spoke without hesitation, although the gods are indeed about to return. However, before that, if the Void Spirits and ultimate civilization conspire together to eradicate everything before the gods return, all their prospects would be rendered meaningless.

Seeing this, other Supreme leaders of various races also demonstrated their stance.

The Human Race, although a late riser, its rapid ascent has startled major races, akin to a low-ranking player in a certain game suddenly catching fire and winning consecutively, leaving everyone guessing what they’re researching.

Faced with the Supreme leaders’ declarations.

The strategist had no intention to keep them guessing and began to speak.

“Rest assured, since I’ve brought this up today, I have no intention of hiding it, as we are all on the same ship, and if it capsizes, we all perish.”

“The Human Race seeks the path of Ascension to Divinity, and you are all aware of this.

Among our many measurements, we discovered that death itself possesses a kind of power, but this power is extremely elusive, requiring thirteen splits using micro-quantum technology to locate a trace.”

“This power is too fragmented, thus initially abandoned by our race.

Recently, however, upon discovering a rapid increase in mortality rates, we restarted surveillance and found that as mortality rates rise, this power is continuously growing.

From being able to observe only a trace, it reached a stage where it could impact the external world, and this energy continues to grow at an alarming speed. I suspect that is what they desire.”

The Zhiluo Race’s Supreme licked his somewhat dry lips, speaking with a bit of uncertainty.

“Does the limit of this energy perhaps….”

“Equal, or even surpass the gods!” the strategist decisively stated.

At this moment, a stunning realization dawned upon all the Supreme leaders.

The real aim of the five ultimate civilizations is to sacrifice the entire Star River, then personally ascend to divinity, surpassing the gods!!

The more powerful an entity, the more it yearns for power—this principle they know better than anyone.

If this is the case, the ultimate civilization’s actions become understandable.

Clap clap clap!!

At that moment, a crisp clapping sound abruptly appeared in the meeting room.

Numerous Supreme leaders present instantly reacted, a powerful and terrifying Dao accumulating instantly, yet, in the next moment….

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock~

A bizarre sound of a clock ticking started to echo.

All the accumulated Daos by the Supreme leaders, their summoned rules, at that moment were all frozen, everything around them was frozen, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Even more terrifyingly, the consciousness of these Supremes remained clear—they distinctly realized that time had been paused.

This already transcended their comprehension and understanding.

Time is the most difficult to control, the most elusive Dao; very few strong individuals can tread this path. Even if someone manages to walk this path, they can at most influence their own time, but directly influencing the entire reality this way is unheard of.

At this moment, all the Supremes finally realized what kind of entity they were about to face….

“Impressive, impressive, the Human Race is always like this, no matter the cycle, it always brings me surprises.”

“You are correct, death itself is a kind of power, and this power only emerges when equilibrium is broken, becoming increasingly terrifying. When this power reaches its end, I call it ‘Entropy’.”

“It’s not easy to deduce this much relying solely on data analysis and conjecture, but you stand too low, unable to see the world I see.”

A voice with a hint of admiration sounded in the strategist’s ear.

Seeing an existence seemingly veiled in countless starlights standing before him, in this paused time, he was the sole ruler.

“What gods, divinities, these are all low-dimensional. Compared to those existences, gods are mere swine.”

“As for you and the past me, mere dust, swept away by a passing breeze, and we are shattered.”

“What I aim for, is to break these shackles with the lives of us dust, to carry this world forward.

To achieve this, I need the power of entropy.”

The existence turned to look at the immobile Supremes, sighing softly.

“The stronger the individual, the higher the energy death causes when life and death are imbalanced. That’s the power I need, so I will borrow something from you all.”

“Pardon….”

The existence solemnly addressed the Supremes, then placed his hand on his chest, bowing seriously and respectfully.

Then….

Crack…

Crack crack crack!!!

Everything around started to shatter like a broken mirror, and the bodies of the Supremes along with the surrounding space began to splinter.

Even more chilling, the Supremes’ bodies and minds were trapped by time, leaving them to helplessly feel the impending death without being able to resist.

The forces of time and space converged at this moment; this scene was neither glamorous nor bright, only pure, extreme strength and crushing.

Distorted branches emerged from the fractures, piercing through the bodies of the Supremes present.

The Supremes, their bodies pierced, began to wilt rapidly, their flesh, Heart and Spirit, mastered Dao, and rules sipping into those branches like fertile nourishment, making them more magnificent.

In mere moments, besides the Human Race’s strategist, the Supremes had become mere carcasses.

“Don’t worry, you won’t share this glorious death.”

“Because your Human Race still has a more significant mission…”

The existence spoke laughingly.

“By the way, we once worked together before. I was in Liu Yuan’s body then.”

Upon hearing this, the strategist felt like his scalp was about to explode.

He is…

“World Light, I call myself World Light. I know you are someone who likes to control everything and see through the truth. Considering our past as semi-colleagues, I can tell you what I’m planning.”

“I want to….”

“Destroy Star River, extend the cycle, all beings have a death, better it be my creation!!”
