Chapter 1919: Aftermath
Chapter 1919: Aftermath
The Everlife Continent experienced an unprecedented period of upheaval. The forces of three mighty Omega Lord-Tier Heavens had boldly attacked the newly crowned Scarlet King, plunging the entire world into chaos and speculation.
Initially, the winner had seemed obvious to all observers. Although the Scarlet King had displayed incredible strength during his battle with Divine Calamity on the shores of the Endlessdeath Continent and managed to thoroughly defeat the man, this time, he faced three Middle Archdeities at the peak of their power. Entities that had ruled their domains unchallenged for hundreds of millions of years and with as many trump cards and treasuries as stars in the sky.
However, against all odds, the Scarlet King emerged victorious. In fact, he displayed a level of power that utterly defied the known limits of the Everstrife Empyrean World. Through the miraculous activation of the Ego Eternal Path of Power’s Resurrection, he had not only defeated but ended the lives of the World Breaker and the Lord of the Last Step.
Divine Calamity managed to escape, relying on an obscure and mysterious power, yet he was grievously injured. His wounds were so severe that many believed his soul might have disintegrated completely, dissipating into nothingness, or at best, leaving him comatose in some remote corner of the world.
Few now paid any real attention to the once-feared Divine Calamity. The supreme powers of the Everstrife Empyrean World were far too preoccupied with how to deal with the Scarlet King himself. Perhaps even more pressing was the question of how to handle the unprecedented rise of the Scarlet Path. The notion of a path capable of eradicating ancient racial tensions—tensions as old as the world itself—had once been considered ludicrous. Now, witnessing the Scarlet King’s over-divine power, none dared to openly ridicule the idea.
Furthermore, the Scarlet Path had proven itself impressively in battle. Most of its elite warriors were hybrids between the traditionally opposed Light and Dark races, each displaying extraordinary bloodlines and genetic enhancements far surpassing ordinary Divine Cultivators of the Everstrife Empyrean World. This feat was even more astounding when considering that these warriors hailed from a relatively obscure Secondary World. Now, every major power had to seriously consider the Scarlet Path’s potential.
Fortunately, there was still time to strategize since the Scarlet King, despite his breathtaking victory, appeared to have suffered severe backlash. It was clear he would not make another major move for some time. Yet, another urgent issue loomed: what was to be done with the Omega Lord Heavens once ruled by Divine Calamity, the World Breaker, and the Lord of the Last Step?
These once-glorious domains had become leaderless wastelands following the deaths of their masters and the destruction of their Primarch Deity elites on the Everlife Continent War. Each Omega Lord Heaven was essentially an enormous treasure trove waiting to be claimed. Although powerful protective formations guarded their vast resources, without someone actively controlling these defenses, any Archdeity could feasibly seize their treasures.
The only reason these places remained untouched for a short while was due to the implications. Technically, since the Scarlet King had defeated the three Omega Lords, all their wealth now belonged to him. If another party dared to claim them, it would constitute theft from the Scarlet King—a risk very few were willing to take, given the terrifying power of his Scarlet Throne. After all, material wealth was meaningless if it meant eternal damnation within the crimson realm.
Of course, this caution did not deter everyone. There were always ambitious individuals, convinced of their intelligence and stealth, who believed they could rob the Scarlet King without leaving a trace. If the heist was executed flawlessly, they reasoned, the Scarlet King would have no means to discover their identities or pursue vengeance. Clearly, this logic was shared among numerous daring Archdeities since within four short months of the Archdeity Triumvirate’s defeat, all three Omega Lord Heavens were plundered entirely, stripped bare of everything valuable.
...
While chaos and rapid shifts in power gripped the rest of the Everstrife Empyrean World, the Everlife Continent itself entered an era of absolute peace and unprecedented prosperity. Despite the brutal war having ravaged and scarred its lands, flattening mountains and scorching vast swathes of territory, it quickly began to flourish anew.
Thanks to the decisive actions of Cain and the Six Chief Counselors, billions of innocent lives had been sheltered safely within fortresses belonging to the three major Lord-Tier organizations. Although initially saved from harm, the aftermath of the war had rendered much of the continent uninhabitable due to residual destructive energies. Living on the surface became nearly impossible for anyone below the Soul Realm.
However, the Everlife Continent swiftly overcame even this significant obstacle. Ao, the unique psychic consciousness now embodying the very spirit of the continent, possessed capabilities far beyond mere environmental control. Unlike typical World Wills, Ao was unbound by traditional limitations, granting him unprecedented freedom. His newfound autonomy enabled him not only to control the continent’s energies but also to absorb power directly from the void itself.
Additionally, Ao drew energy from the countless shattered souls and broken bloodlines of those who had perished in the great war. This immense influx of raw material served as nourishment, dramatically accelerating the restoration and evolution of the continent itself.
The true source of Ao’s immense abilities was his assimilation of Cain’s World King Avatar. This fusion granted him direct access to the Path of Conquest and all its inherent powers and wonders, vastly amplifying his strength and capabilities.
Due to the tremendous efforts made to save lives, combined with Ao’s extraordinary power, the Everlife Continent experienced a miraculous recovery. In less than six months, it returned to its peak condition. Where once devastation reigned, life now flourished with unmatched vibrancy.
The Everlife Continent became not only a testament to the Scarlet King’s overwhelming might but also a beacon of hope and potential. Its rapid rebirth symbolized not just resilience but a new era for the world.
