Chapter 1513: Heavenly Realm News

“Spectacles: The Great Hunt in the Celestial Realm has ended. Now it’s your turn, Middle-earth! May Heaven have mercy on you!”

Separated by the Moon Realm, Jiang Fan could still feel Hong Xiu’s sorrow, anger, and despair.

What exactly happened to the Asura settlements in the Celestial Realm during that month-long Great Hunt?

What is their situation now?

Jiang Fan’s finger rested on the Moon Realm, hesitant to ask.

After a long silence, he finally gathered his courage and wrote:

“Good Name: What are the casualties like in the Asura settlements?”

A long time passed before the Moon Realm responded.

“Spectacles: Thank you for preserving the last spark of life for the Asura tribes.”

Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted.

Does this mean that the Asura tribes in the Celestial Realm have been... annihilated?

His fingers trembled slightly as he wrote:

“Good Name: It’s that devastating?”

He believed the Ancient Giants had the power to wipe out all Asura tribes.

But if they annihilated them, what would the Ancient Giants eat during the next Great Hunt?

Normally, the Ancient Giants would leave a few survivors in each settlement, giving them a hundred years to repopulate.

Why did they annihilate everything this time?

“Spectacles: Apart from nine large Asura tribes, the rest were utterly destroyed, leaving no trace.”

Jiang Fan was stunned for quite some time.

“Utterly destroyed, leaving no trace”—how horrific a scene did these four casual words describe?

The scene he had witnessed through the Sky-Eyed Asura—of Ancient Giants devouring an entire settlement alive—was merely a microcosm of thousands upon thousands of such settlements.

“Spectacles: The Ancient Giants have gone mad, destroying everything without regard for the consequences. It was like that for the Asura settlements, and it will be like that for your Middle-earth.”

Jiang Fan’s gaze grew solemn.

What exactly happened to make the Ancient Giants change a ten-thousand-year-old rule?

Since they had annihilated the Asura settlements, how would they treat Middle-earth?

He suddenly realized a truth he had overlooked.

He wrote on the Moon Realm:

“Good Name: Are we in Middle-earth, like your Asura settlements, actually raised by the Ancient Giants?”

“Spectacles: Only just realizing it now? Is there any difference between the Ancient Giants’ descent every thousand years and the Great Hunt every hundred years?”

“Spectacles: Both are man-made catastrophes.”

Jiang Fan’s body trembled, his gaze momentarily losing focus.

He had long felt that the thousand-year interval between each catastrophe was too deliberate.

So, it was true that a powerful force was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.

The difference was, for the Ancient Giants, the Asura settlements were merely a snack.

Middle-earth was their true feast!

Furthermore, over the past ten thousand years, Middle-earth had not won every single catastrophe.

Middle-earth’s continued existence likely meant the Ancient Giants had left a spark of life, allowing Middle-earth to survive for their next hunt!

However.

This time, a drastic change must have occurred among the Ancient Giants.

Leading them to resolve to end everything!

If Middle-earth lost this time, it would face complete annihilation!

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, feeling immensely burdened as he wrote:

“Good Name: What is your situation now?”

Hong Xiu remained silent for a long time before replying.

“Spectacles: Like a fish in a dried-up pond, what else can I do but wait for death?”

Jiang Fan understood her predicament.

The Ancient Giants had already adopted an extermination policy against the various settlements.

How could the remaining nine great settlements escape unscathed?

Once the Ancient Giants annihilated Middle-earth, they would focus their strength to completely wipe out the remaining settlements.

“Good Name: Hold on!”

“Spectacles: I will! I’ll also uphold my promise to go to the Black Sun Royal Court and tie down the Five-Star Giant King for you.”

“Spectacles: If your Middle-earth wins, the Ancient Giants will be greatly weakened, and our nine settlements will have a glimmer of hope for survival. I understand this.”

Jiang Fan let out a slight breath.

There was no need for idle talk with intelligent people.

“Good Name: Please, we in Middle-earth will fight with all our might.”

“Spectacles: You’d better hold nothing back. Otherwise, the millions of annihilated Asura settlements in the Celestial Realm will be your true reflection.”

“Spectacles: Also, I need to remind you of something. Do you remember the Central Tribe army I mentioned?”

Jiang Fan frowned and wrote: “Good Name: I remember.”

That day, Hong Xiu had mentioned receiving news that the Central Tribe had secretly dispatched an army.

Hong Xiu speculated it was most likely heading towards her settlement or Tai Cang Great Province.

“Spectacles: This army didn’t attack our settlement.”

“Spectacles: You, Tai Cang Great Province... fend for yourselves!”

Jiang Fan’s pupils dilated in shock.

If Hong Xiu’s speculation was correct, then that Central Tribe army... was heading straight for Tai Cang Great Province!!!

What they were facing this time was not just the Ancient Giants of the Black Sun Royal Court.

But also this incredibly mysterious Central Tribe army!!!

Jiang Fan clutched his head, feeling utterly powerless.

The Black Sun Royal Court had nearly ten Giant Kings, one of whom was the terrifying Five-Star Giant King.

The number of ordinary Ancient Giants was also twice that of cultivators above the Nascent Soul mid-stage in Tai Cang Great Province!

This was already a desperate battle against overwhelming odds.

If the enemy brought another Central Tribe army, even more formidable than the Black Sun Royal Court...

Jiang Fan truly couldn’t imagine how Tai Cang Great Province could possibly win.

He silently put away the Moon Realm, his heart incredibly heavy.

But hearing the bustling sounds of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members, his eyes refocused.

He heavily slapped his leg and declared, “Let them come! Who’s afraid of whom?”

He raised his hand and absorbed all the lightning power before him into his body.

The Abyss Heart was completely filled.

This meant he could enter the Transformation God Realm once more!

Immediately after, he grasped the Earth Origin and quietly began to comprehend it.

***

Holy Spirit Province.

In a floating palace filled with the scent of flowers and the singing of birds.

Grand Venerable Ice Heart sat on a swing surrounded by flowers, holding the Moon Realm. Her gentle, jade-like face wore an indescribably solemn expression.

“No wonder the Great Wine Sacrifice made arrangements in advance to cultivate the True World-Ending Demon.”

“So, he had already anticipated that this would be the Ancient Giants’ final descent, and they wouldn’t give Middle-earth another chance to repopulate.”

“Can Middle-earth truly survive this time?”

After a long contemplation, she once again reviewed the chat between Jiang Fan and Hong Xiu in Hellish script.

When her gaze fell upon the name “Good Name,” her expression became complex.

“The most difficult challenge still falls upon Tai Cang Great Province.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, Tai Cang Great Province will be the first to be annihilated.”

“Jiang Fan’s tireless efforts, his preparations to resist the Ancient Giants, will ultimately be a drop in the ocean, unable to change the outcome in the slightest.”

She felt a pang of sympathy for Jiang Fan.

Giving his all, only to be mocked by fate.

After pondering for a moment, she gritted her teeth slightly, took out the Moon Realm, and wrote:

“Prosperous Blooms: Good Name, send someone to the Imperial Astronomy Bureau’s teleportation array. I’m sending something.”

After writing, she instructed, “A’Luo, go to the Imperial Astronomy Bureau and transmit this item.”

She took out a tattered piece of cloth, from which emanated a divine might that compelled all beings to worship.

If Jiang Fan were here, he would surely recognize it.

This was precisely the mysterious piece of cloth that Grand Venerable Black Dragon had thrown, which crushed Middle-earth’s barrier and created a long, void crack!
