Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged at the edge of the darkness, his expression devoid of emotion, quietly gazing into the profound darkness ahead. Even the passage of time failed to capture his attention.
This was because, at that moment, he had quietly extended all his senses into the darkness, cautiously probing it like a small beast.
Compared to the two colossal entities within, Zhou Yuan indeed appeared extremely insignificant.
As time passed, the darkness deep within the core of Cangxuan Heaven grew increasingly viscous, as two terrifying entities constantly eroded and wore each other down within it.
Zhou Yuan, sensing the activity within, felt as if this enclosed dark area was a furiously boiling cauldron, in which a Saint God's will and an Absolute God Curse Poison were being brewed.
These were two of the most terrifying things in the world. If others knew Zhou Yuan dared to contemplate such a plan, even the Four Ancient Sovereigns would likely be stunned speechless with shock.
Even the previous Zhou Yuan probably wouldn't dare to think or act on it.
But now... Zhou Yuan was no longer afraid. After experiencing the feeling of being estranged from his beloved, he felt that even death was no worse than that.
Since this was more unbearable than death, what else did he have to fear?
A faint wisp of white mist escaped Zhou Yuan's nostrils. Here, even the passage of time was irrelevant, yet he showed no trace of impatience. At this moment, he demonstrated immense patience.
Because the time was still not right. Both the Saint God's will and the Absolute God Curse Poison contained power that could easily destroy him thousands of times over.
He needed to wait until the Absolute God Curse Poison had eroded the divinity within the Saint God's will, and until the distorted malevolence within the Absolute God Curse Poison had been neutralized by the Saint God's will.
Only at the precise moment when these two terrifying entities reached a state of balance through their continuous erosion and wearing down would Zhou Yuan have his last glimmer of opportunity.
Missing that instant would render all his thoughts and plans futile.
Outside the boundary walls of the Saint Race's Four Heavens.
The roars of fire dragons, formed by four-colored divine flames, echoed throughout all-heavens. Under the rampage of these divine flame dragons, all beings in all-heavens could feel the world's temperature becoming somewhat scorching.
This filled Ancient Sovereigns Jin Luo and Cang Yuan, along with the other two, with complex emotions. This was the power of a born god, capable of triggering climatic changes across all-heavens — something they absolutely could not achieve.
"The divine banners are almost burned away," Ancient Sovereign Chi Ji suddenly remarked.
The other three gazed through the void and indeed saw that the mottled bloodstains on the four immense divine banners were gradually melting away, and the majestic divine figure depicted on them was also slowly fading.
This sight immediately brought expressions of joy to the faces of the Four Ancient Sovereigns.
Meanwhile.
In Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven.
In these two great heavens, immense black light waves suddenly appeared across the world. As the waves swept through, all living beings in their path vanished instantly, their bodies and souls dissolving without even a scream, ultimately transforming into streaks of crimson light that shot skyward.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
A spectacular scene unfolded: countless blood-red light pillars, carrying surging blood energy, stood upright between heaven and earth in the two great heavens. The intense bloody aura directly caused a downpour of blood rain within the heavens, turning everything between heaven and earth crimson.
It was extremely tragic.
Saint Ancestor Heaven, Saint Mountain.
The void before Ancient Saint Taimi and the other three Ancient Saints transformed into an enormous light mirror, showing Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven being swept by the blood rain.
The Four Ancient Saints wore expressions of pity. Immediately, they simultaneously formed hand seals.
The void before them suddenly shattered, and a viscous blood-red torrent surged forth like a vast river, carrying indescribable blood energy.
The blood-red torrent swept down from above, finally pouring entirely into the Saint Palace.
At the center of the Saint Palace, a deep, dark passage led to an unknown place. Even though the blood-red torrent seemed endless, it could not fill this eerie black hole.
However, as more and more blood energy poured in, blood-red patterns deep within the dark passage seemed to gradually brighten.
"Huh?!"
When changes occurred in Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven, the Four Ancient Sovereigns outside the boundary wall suddenly sensed something. They immediately exclaimed in surprise, casting their gazes towards the heavens where Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven were located.
They could see that the boundary wall there had suddenly turned crimson. The extremely dense blood energy, even from such a great distance, was still clearly palpable.
"What's going on?" Ancient Sovereign Emperor Dragon asked in a deep voice.
"The Genesis Qi within Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven has suddenly become stagnant, completely devoid of activity," Ancient Sovereign Jin Luo said, his brows furrowed in confusion.
"This..."
Faced with such a strange occurrence, even the Four Ancient Sovereigns exchanged bewildered glances, momentarily at a loss.
However, driven by keen intuition, they felt this was likely not good news for them.
So, Ancient Sovereign Jin Luo looked at the Third God in front of him and respectfully asked, "Third God, do you know what has happened?"
The Third God's obsidian-like eyes swept towards Saint Underworld Heaven and Saint Spirit Heaven. She spoke indifferently: "The beings in those two heavens have all been sacrificed. Now the blood energy is gathered and has entered the Saint Palace. The Saint Race is likely trying to use this blood energy to accelerate the Saint God's awakening."
The Four Ancient Sovereigns' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror.
They had not expected the Saint Race to be so ruthless as to directly sacrifice all living beings in two heavens!
"The Saint Race is indeed cruel and heartless," Emperor Dragon said, his face grim.
"Then... isn't the Saint God also about to awaken?" Ancient Sovereign Jin Luo focused on another crucial point. Currently, the All-Heavens army could force the Saint Race to retreat and hunker down only because of the Third God's power. But if the Saint God also awakened, then the ultimate fate of both sides would rest entirely on the battle between these two gods.
The other three Ancient Sovereigns' expressions also grew somber. Their gazes turned to the Third God, but she paid them no heed, her indifferent gaze fixed on a certain spot within Saint Ancestor Heaven.
Time, in this solidified atmosphere, flowed once more.
*Rip!*
Until a certain moment, a sound like tearing brocade suddenly echoed. The hearts of the All-Heavens army jolted, and their gazes fell upon the scene. They were ecstatic to see that the four divine banners, which had covered the Four Heavens like a sky curtain, were cracking under the scorching divine flames.
The four divine banners were finally burned through.
As the divine banners cracked, the boundary walls of the Four Heavens were starkly exposed before the All-Heavens army.
The Third God extended her slender, jade-like hand. Vast divine power surged forth, directly manifesting two colossal divine hands. These hands brutally plunged into the boundary walls, and then, as divine power surged, the boundary walls were slowly torn open.
At this moment, the Saint Race beings within Saint Ancestor Heaven and Saint King Heaven watched in horror as the distant sky seemed to be torn apart by colossal hands. Boundless divine might poured down, causing them to feel a fear akin to falling into an abyss.
The beings in these two heavens all fell into panic.
At this moment, they experienced the same kind of fear that the beings of all-heavens had felt in previous years.
At the peak of Saint Mountain, Ancient Saint Taimi and the other three Ancient Saints also looked up at this magnificent scene. However, they did not feel fear; instead, their faces were filled with fanaticism.
Because at this very moment, they felt an oppressive aura, familiar to their blood and soul, gradually appearing between heaven and earth.
They knelt down, their eyes filled with piety, and reverent voices rose, spreading throughout the entire heaven.
"Welcome, our God!"
Deep within the dark black hole that led to an unknown place, a pair of eyes, like bottomless abysses, slowly opened.
And at this very same instant.
Zhou Yuan, at the edge of the darkness, suddenly felt that within the furiously boiling dark space before him, the Saint God's will and the Absolute God Curse Poison — after billions of instances of erosion and collision — had abruptly reached a certain balance.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan grinned.
This opportunity had finally arrived.
