Chapter 683: Rainbow Bridge
The sky is crumbling.
The blue firmament gradually solidified into large chunks of crystals, followed by cracks weaving through like wandering dragons, emitting a piercing creaking sound, reminiscent of a lake freezing over in winter, with the ice surface beginning to collapse.
Cha Na stepped out of his white palace, gazing up at the sky, surrounded by Blood Granting Guards in white armor who gathered around him.
"Your Majesty..." The guards looked up to the sky, a bit worried.
"The time has come; this world, as I predicted, has reached its end." Cha Na murmured to himself.
He lacked the ability to open a portal, and in this realm, he couldn't contact Divine Power Tianyang, but through these 500 years of conquest, he gradually understood the essence of this world.
He bestowed his blood upon his knights, transforming them into a sort of beings inferior to the Divine Descendants, yet capable of surviving without relying on divine light. Without the interference of Divine Power Tianyang, they did not turn into creatures as he had; while their bodies became three meters tall, they still retained a human appearance.
According to the research of the extinguished Warlock Association on magical creatures of this world, the essence of all magic in this world comes from a certain rule of this world. He certainly knew that this world was fictional, so the so-called rules of the world were naturally set by Lin Yan and the others.
The 500 years of conquest and domination also made Cha Na understand that Divine Power Tianyang's approach was correct. Only by completely eliminating all opponents could this world truly become peaceful.
He killed all who opposed him and transformed all who submitted to him. He is the Divine Power Tianyang in this world.
Now, the world is collapsing, and his kingdom is in jeopardy. Blue crystal fragments are falling from the sky, and the black void is exposed in the sky.
Beautiful dreams always awaken; perhaps the White King can no longer sustain this world, or perhaps Lin Yan and the others cannot tolerate the world they created being taken over by him. In any case, the entire world is about to return to the void.
Cha Na doesn't know what will happen next, but for some reason, he feels unperturbed and confident that even if this world collapses, he will not perish with it.
After all, he is the materialization of Divine Power Tianyang's wrath. After wading through the black pool of the scorching desert, Cha Na realized that he no longer existed; the current Cha Na is an embodiment of Divine Power Tianyang's essence.
And His wrath cannot be erased.
He turned to his guards and said, "Gather everyone. Let them assemble in the square below. I promise you all a greater expedition."
When all the Blood Granting Guards in the white Holy City had gathered in the Sword Fighting Arena behind the palace, the world had already disintegrated. Beyond Cha Na's sight, the sea was sucked away by black holes appearing on the seabed, mountains crumbled, the ground sank, and the huge stone statues erected to praise him all fell amidst the earthquakes.
The tremors on the ground had reached the Holy City's area; the villages outside the city walls were in chaos, with fissures appearing out of nowhere tearing through the towns and villages below the city. Residents shouted the name of the lord, and soldiers fell into the abyss with their horses.
Cha Na stood there calmly, indifferent to the kingdom he had forged with his own hands over 500 years, feeling no regret.
"The time has come. Leave this false world with me, and return to reality." Cha Na said.
The Sky Curtain fell at that moment, and Cha Na unfolded the Sword Array. The overwhelming silver long swords pierced the falling Sky Curtain, creating black holes and enveloping it in black whirlpools. The world came to an abrupt end amid chaotic roars.
Cha Na still stood there, feeling a sudden silence around him. When he opened his eyes, darkness surrounded him, tiny stars blinking above, and a rainbow stretched overhead.
Cha Na gripped a silver sword in his right hand, floating in the darkness. The thousands of Blood Granting Guards, their armor's hanging loops pierced by flying swords, floated behind him.
With a thought, he flew upward to inspect the rainbow, discovering that it was a tangible source of light.
Thus, thousands landed upon the rainbow.
It seemed like a bridge, spanning the dark space with no beginning or end.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" asked the most esteemed guard of Cha Na, stepping forward.
"Move forward, we're heading to a new world." Cha Na did not explain, only pointing to the end of the Rainbow Bridge.
The thousands followed Cha Na across the endless Rainbow Bridge.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan had restarted this round of the world, watching lines of characters scroll across the flat screen before finally stopping at an "END." She took a deep breath.
"Did we kill it?" Lin Yan asked.
The White King closed its seven eyes, trying to sense something, but found nothing.
Even so, it couldn't draw a conclusion, only saying, "That world no longer exists, but I don't know if it will survive."
"It couldn't survive…" Lin Yan was somewhat disappointed.
"The principle of rebooting isn't profound; the extinction of a dream doesn't mean the essence of the dream is completely gone. They form a kind of melody and are preserved, becoming copies. Sometimes, the things within these copies unconsciously manifest in the next world, which I cannot control. Moreover, my dream is not isolated; it coexists within a larger space… that is the subconscious's unconscious ocean. If it can escape from that dream and fall into the unconscious ocean..." White King said.
"What then?" Lin Yan was a bit worried.
"Then it would completely escape our control, and it might even invade the next dream… if possible, it could also open a gateway to the waking world. This principle is no different from how we open portals." White King said.
"You can't even rule over your brain?" Lin Yan asked.
"You humans aren't that way either; don't you have a term, called self-discipline? Knowing exactly how to live a good life, yet always succumbing to various temptations, and making a mess of your days." White King said.
Lin Yan had no rebuttal; perhaps she was very disciplined, but others were different. Among the billions in this world, those who could control their lives were only a few.
While the White King and Lin Yan argued.
A blood-red portal opened in the sky, and Cha Na with his thousands of guards flew out on flying swords.
In the real world, scarcely a few seconds had passed since he chased Fujiwara Makoto through the portal until now flying out, but for him, 500 years whisked by, and upon the Rainbow Bridge, he and his thousands of guards trekked for decades.
Cha Na looked up and shouted loudly, "Divine Power Tianyang!"
At that moment, a golden light shone boldly before this large crowd, and the black Shadow emerged suddenly.
The guards drew their swords, assuming battle stances, only to see their king kneel on one knee before the black shadow.
