C2325 The Other Great Demon God

"Heh!"

Harris, the God of Oblivion, rolled his emerald eyes and chuckled softly, "You've sealed your fate by pursuing me to this Astral Domain."

Jihui, whose body he had possessed, looked at the purple barrier of Soul Power with a hint of surprise.

Countless unknown glyphs adorned the barrier, each forming faces twisted to the extreme, as if caught in a struggle between life and death.

"Bertain!"

The contorted beings cried out the name of the Great Demon God in madness, seemingly offering their souls in sacrifice.

Bertain, gripping the Dragon Bone Staff, watched as electric currents danced within his Devil Eyes. Clusters of his devil souls sank into the expansive depths of his soul sea.

Listening to the extraterrestrial beings' cries, a rapid succession of memories began to take shape within his mind.

Suddenly, a myriad of dazzling lights burst forth in the soul sea of his brain.

Images of dried wells, cities, mountains, lakes, and stars emerged, all blurred and intermingled with countless unknown runes and the furious cries of beings from the Otherworld.

Through these visions, he sought to connect with the worlds inhabited by the Gods of the Otherworld.

In the process of integrating his memories, the first insight he gained was a method to contend with the Primal Soul.

The purple Soul Power at his brow transformed abruptly into a deep, bronze well.

Rusty chains ensnared the well, and the resonant Soul Voice, extolling Bertain, seemed to transcend realms, emanating from within the well itself.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The rusty chains encircled the bronze well, generating an eerie magnetism.

The spiritual sense of the Primal Soul vanished into the depths of the well.

With the chains' continuous circling and the sonorous chanting of countless beings praising Bertain, the spiritual sense of the Primal Soul that had seized Bertain was gradually extinguished.

The big devil, now inhabiting Jihui's form, wore a look of astonishment. He had not anticipated Bertain's ability to extinguish his spiritual sense.

"Just as I suspected."

He grew increasingly convinced that the big devil had conspired with the gods of the Otherworld, having betrayed the Origin Realm long ago.

"Now that you've come, you shall not depart."

The formidable Space God, perched upon the iridescent wings of his majestic spiritual pet, suddenly raised his arm and bellowed, "Celestial Imprisonment!"

Rip! Rip!

Along the borders of the Creitecesh Astral Domain, numerous space rifts materialized, unleashing torrents of boundless cosmic energy and psionic power.

In one of the largest space rifts, the Eiwrone suddenly emerged.

The Origin Realm, the Wasteland, and various other sacred space objects scattered throughout were all located by his power. He harnessed the space rifts to amass an immense amount of space magic.

Among these, the Eiwrone stood out as the most prominent sacred object of space, its inherent space magic now awakened.

Before long, the once barren Creitecesh was sealed by the Space God, Devitt.

At the moment Devitt invoked the Celestial Imprisonment, it felt as though Creitecesh had been excised from the Wasteland.

The Creitecesh, once part of the Wasteland, now seemed to belong to an entirely different world, no longer connected to this one.

Boom! Boom!

Within Jihui's body, dozens of hair-thin meridians snapped under the force of Devitt's sudden surge of power.

These meridians, each aligned with space magic, were severed solely by Devitt's might.

The Primal Soul instantly realized that it would no longer be able to wield space magic with ease, nor could it depart from Creitecesh without difficulty.

Devitt, who had journeyed from the Otherworld, had mastered the Primal Anima of space there. In his comprehension of the Way of Heaven, Devitt was evidently superior.

As the current sovereign of this void, Devitt had sealed the entire Astral Domain, specifically to limit him.

"This battlefield has been carefully selected for you."

The God of Oblivion, Harris, let out a contemptuous snort and spoke icily, "Should you perish here, another you will come. We will wait for you, patiently."

Devitt nodded, his smile conveying anticipation. "I look forward to witnessing more of you emerge. In doing so, the Everlands will be weakened."

"Everlands?"

His expression darkened, and he furrowed his brow as he surveyed the three Otherworld Gods and Bertain, who was in the process of piecing together his lost memories. "You dare to conspire against the Everlands?"

His true essence resided in the Everlands.

The soul sea, a floating expanse of greenish-black, cradled the Heart of the Everlands, the wellspring of his power and the foundation of his Great Dao.

As long as the foundation remained, he could always reform a new spiritual sense and exist indefinitely.

Realizing that these otherworldly deities had factored the Everlands into their scheme, he sensed the gravity of the situation for the first time.

"Lord Bertain desires the Heart of the Everlands," said the Death God, whose gaze remained tranquil and voice emotionless. "Only by refining you can Lord Bertain continue his triumphant march in our world."

...

Elsewhere, within the thirty-six Maw of Oblivion.

Deep within the vast greenish-black pupil, a grand and magnificent Holy Temple was being re-consecrated.

The new Evil Temple emerged through the re-consecration of the skeleton by the three All Spirits Ban, revealing itself under the influence of its power.

Whoosh!

The Holy Temple shot out of the pupil and came to rest at the feet of the specter.

The specter plunged downward, using the temple as its skeletal framework. As bones snapped into place, countless rules and profound meanings intertwined in a new arrangement.

In short order, the Holy Temple transformed into a towering demonform radiating immense power.

Within the depths of the demonform's eye sockets, black demonic flames ignited, signaling the acquisition of a fitting vessel.

"You ought to be aware of the situation in the Creitecesh," He said, gazing at Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body. "Bertain of the Origin Realm conspired with gods from the Otherworld and set a trap for me in the Creitecesh."

His declaration sent a ripple of shock through the assembled experts.

Through Yu Yuan's real body, which had assimilated the missing aspects of the rule, the supreme beings who were deep in contemplation could hardly believe their ears.

The Light Spirit, Mother Earth, Tree of Life, Thunder Spirit, and even the Dragon Bone Staff were stunned by his revelation.

Taishi abruptly turned and demanded, "Is that the truth?"

Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body and real body were in sync. From the moment Bertain made his appearance in the Creitecesh, receiving reverence from three otherworldly gods, Yu Yuan had a clear understanding of every event up to the point when Bertain grasped the Dragon Bone Staff.

Responding to Taishi, Yu Yuan carefully articulated, "All I can say is that he had interactions with the gods of the Otherworld. His adventures and memories from the Otherworld were seized by the God of Oblivion, Harris."

"However, Harris, the God of Oblivion, was acting under orders to remove those memories."

Yu Yuan clarified.

"Ordered by whom?" Taishi pressed.

Yu Yuan hesitated briefly before responding, "By himself."

"By himself?"

The revelation left the supreme powers of the Origin Realm and the Wasteland astounded by the secrets Yu Yuan had unveiled.

"I need to head over now; I can no longer sense my other self. The body I crafted into Jihui places too much emphasis on the use of space magic. With the Space God, Devitt, around, my body would be at a significant disadvantage."

With those words, he departed.

Before leaving, he cast a meaningful glance at Yu Yuan.

"This place is in your hands for now."

His remnant soul and thoughts echoed in Yu Yuan's mind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Deep within the vast expanse of Soul Power, the rule imprints underwent a sudden shift, all gravitating towards Yu Yuan.

Even the thirty-six Maw of Oblivion, including the All Spirits Ban, seemed to resonate faintly with Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan instantly realized that he could control the Maw of Oblivion and the All Spirits Ban within his green-black pupils using the ninth tier of the Soul Altar.

In the depths of his eyes, green-black soul threads bearing his essence slowly materialized.

The soul threads were intertwining, as he aimed to create another ghost in the shortest time possible to take command of this eye.

But this required time.

Even for him, after losing two spiritual senses in the Otherworld and forming two ghosts, conjuring a new ghost was no easy feat.

Especially since he also needed to oversee the Everlands and keep an eye on any upheavals in the Genesis Continent.

During this critical period, he feared that other deities from the Otherworld might seize the chance to invade.

Thus, reluctantly, he entrusted Yu Yuan with the control of this region.

...

"Father."

Deep within the Dread Mount on the Zionidall, God-King Kaiya gazed upon numerous mysterious glyphs transforming into a spring embedded within a thunder crystal. She watched a towering figure within the spring.

The figure boasted a bushy red beard and a hearty, boisterous laugh.

He stood in the Otherworld's void, as imposing as the Dread Mount where Kaiya concealed herself, with legions of Otherworldly champions prostrating at his feet.

In another realm, he remained exalted, revered and adored by countless formidable beings.

"Father!"

Kaiya cried out.

"Hahaha!"

Bertain's laughter boomed across the Otherworld, his body encircled by innumerable glyphs that spun like stars.

The bond between the spring within the Dread Mount and him grew increasingly strong.

Kaiya immediately sensed that a new spring was on the verge of emerging. Her father from the Otherworld would soon be able to cross over.

"Girl, hear me out! Girl, please don't go!"
