719 Sacrificing oneself for righteousness

Therefore, it was inevitable that these star worlds would break away from the tree world, lest they be destroyed.

At the same time, in the Silver Star World, Xiao Tie, Xiao An, Xiao Liu, and Xiao An, who were drifting with the Silver Star, seemed to feel a calling. Each of them suddenly aged by several million years, becoming frail and decrepit. They lay on the ground, gasping for breath, their skin withered like tree roots, so ancient that every breath was heavy, as if consuming life itself.

Seeing their state, the Galactic Emperor ordered soldiers to carry them inside.

Xiao Tie waved his hand, saying, "No need. Now that we are alive, we have become a burden to the entire tree world. Therefore, we only seek death. However, according to the natural order, we can maintain this state for tens of thousands of years. Thus, we must die quickly, and our deaths must be meaningful. Therefore, we all wish to emulate the River God and sacrifice ourselves for righteousness."

The other Tree Gods agreed.

However, the Galactic Emperor still did not fully understand their words.

Xiao Tie suddenly lunged towards the direction of the Golden River World, exclaiming, "Let's go, we will end our lives. This is what we have pursued our entire lives. Let it end like this."

The other Tree Gods also suddenly soared, following him towards the Golden River World.

From that direction, several more stars fiercely collided with the Sun Star.

As these individuals were in mid-air, their bodies expanded infinitely, gradually becoming ethereal, then radiating light, filling the sky with divine radiance. Thus, divine radiance collided with divine radiance, expanding in brilliance and instantly engulfing the entire world, leaving everyone's vision a vast expanse of white.

Everyone felt a mournful aura pervading heaven and earth, their hearts filled with boundless sadness, tears blurring their eyes.

With the arrival of the great tribulation, the number of survivors was an unknown variable, but no one feared death anymore.

Perhaps, not becoming a self-sacrificing hero at this moment would become an eternal regret in their hearts.

After the Tree Gods fell, the trees collapsed with a roar. The star worlds that had been condensed upon them gradually detached and began to drift in the starry sky. Most of these star worlds continued to collide with the Sun Star.

More and more star worlds gathered, all crashing towards the Sun Star, their momentum like ten thousand horses galloping, like rivers and seas surging.

Many people had gathered on the Silver Star World, gradually falling into despair.

The Silver Star World drew closer and closer to the Sun Star, and the entire star world was about to turn into a fireball. Many individuals with low cultivation could no longer bear the suffering and committed suicide. The rest, who wished to escape the Silver Star World, found it was already too late. It was as if a force had materialized out of nowhere, pulling everyone onto the Silver Star World, rendering them immobile and unable to leave.

The people despaired!

It seemed their decision to place their hopes on Mo Qi was a mistake.

If they had known this would happen, they should have left the Silver Star World earlier, at least having a sliver of hope. Now, they were certainly doomed, with no chance at all.

Many people began to curse Mo Qi.

"This so-called Heavenly Emperor has gone and never returned. He is truly unworthy of his name. He said he was going to find a solution, but I think he was clearly using it as an opportunity to escape."

"If he wanted to escape, he shouldn't have delayed us. Now that he's run off, leaving us here to wait, he's clearly letting us wait for death. This Mo Qi is truly despicable."

Zi Luo listened, feeling very distressed. "He is not that kind of person. The reason he hasn't appeared now must be because he encountered some difficulties. The task that so many of us couldn't accomplish, asking him to do it alone, is inherently very difficult."

"Yes, we must believe in him," Long Qi said.

"We are all about to die, and we still believe in him? He deceived us. Can't we curse him a few times before we die?"

"Who are you people? Why are you speaking up for him?"

"Hey? Are you his family? Very well, the debt of the husband is repaid by the wife. Tell us, how will you compensate us?"

Long Qi and Zi Luo were stunned, speechless for a moment.

At this moment, the Emperor said, "Enough, stop guessing wildly and don't just sit here waiting for death. Let us all take action. Everyone, mobilize your divine power, perhaps we can still save our lives."

As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, the Saintess said, "Yes, let us all work together, unleash our divine abilities, and jointly resist the suction force of the Sun Star. Perhaps the Silver River World can break free from its constraints."

There was no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Everyone agreed.

Thus, they all exerted their strength together, simultaneously unleashing their divine abilities towards the Sun Star, attempting to push the Silver Star World back through the counterforce.

As a result, all the divine abilities sent out seemed to vanish into the sea, having no effect whatsoever. The Silver Star World continued to crash towards the Sun Star in its original direction and at its original speed.

It seemed there was no room for maneuver. Many people, unable to bear the torment, bit their tongues and committed suicide.

The Emperor and the Saintess also gave up struggling.

The Emperor walked up to the Saintess and said softly, "With your cultivation, you can still escape and protect yourself. Why don't you leave?"

The Saintess shook her head. "Where would I go? The Sun Star is about to shatter. Where else can I go?"

The Emperor chuckled. "You are not without a place to go. You are still expecting something, or perhaps you have been completely disappointed?"

"Aren't your words contradictory?"

"Not contradictory at all. Extreme hope is despair!"

"Alright. You are right. But why are you meddling in so many trivial matters? Wouldn't it be better to strike a dignified pose and die gracefully?"

"Can we still die gracefully? I'm afraid no one can. In the end, everyone will look the same: shattered to pieces."

Some people, overhearing their conversation, cried out, "I don't want to be shattered to pieces!"

"I'm afraid that's difficult!"

Just as everyone was in despair, enveloped in fear, a patch of black cloud silently spread and silently enveloped the Silver Star World and the surrounding stars.

"What's happening? Is it going to explode?" people cried out in panic.

However, people gradually discovered that the intense heat that had been afflicting everyone was gradually subsiding, and the temperature was gradually decreasing. It felt less unbearable.

They were even more surprised to find that the Silver Star World and the surrounding star worlds were gradually moving away from the Sun Star.

"We're saved. He succeeded," Chang Yu Ning said, her eyes filled with emotion.

Zi Luo was also deeply moved. "He succeeded. He really did it."

The Saintess gazed into the depths of the profound darkness, her expressionless face hiding a tempestuous inner turmoil. "He is truly capable. It seems that because of him, many things have changed. According to the celestial phenomena, with the arrival of the great tribulation, all things are destined for destruction, and there is no escape. All worlds will turn into barren land, and then heaven and earth will restart. However, it seems things are not developing that way now. Could it be that he can truly change all of this?"

Could Hongjun, the loyal promoter of the great tribulation and immeasurable tribulation, tolerate all of this?

And what about the whereabouts of Chaos, could she tolerate all of this?

Chaos came to this world to turn it into chaos. She would not come in vain. Since she had come, it meant that things were irreversible.

A cheer erupted from the Silver Star World, pulling the Saintess back from her thoughts.

The Queen, both proud and excited, approached the Saintess and said, "Master, my son has indeed lived up to expectations and saved the Silver River World. I think you two are quite well-matched. When he returns, I will arrange your marriage."

The Saintess gave her a sideways glance. "Are you so eager to be my mother-in-law? He is fickle and affectionate with everyone. I don't want to share a husband with others."

The Queen said hesitantly, "But he is the Holy Emperor. What emperor does not have a harem?"

The Saintess curled her lips. "I am also a queen. I will not be a concubine."

The Queen was slightly disappointed. "That's a pity. I believe that with your cultivation, if you married him, you would surely become his right-hand man."
