A monster larger than a planet stood steadily upon the surface of the Void River.
The once turbulent Void River had solidified beneath the monster's feet.
And as the victor, the seasoning of the world was merely a prelude to the Great Lord's feast.
Gazing at the world's embryonic membrane, now tinged with black, Long Jiu could no longer suppress the hunger that originated from his instincts.
The nine ferocious, pitch-black dragon heads violently split open their cavernous mouths filled with fangs, tearing savagely at the delectable world before them.
And along the edges of the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon's body, the utterly shattered True Spirit issued its final curse:
"Ah! I hate you!!! Monster!!! I curse you!!!"
"What have I done? I am guilty!!!"
"World! World!! World!!!"
"Is there anyone who can save you!!!"
From the shadow enveloping the dragon's body, a disdainful sneer echoed:
"Foolish mortal! When I descend, all outcomes are already decided!"
"Disperse obediently!"
*Hum!*
The pitch-black shadow on the dragon's body transformed into smoldering flames, and the True Spirit, already at its limit, was instantly incinerated.
As the last trace of the True Spirit dissipated, the man who had lost his name uttered his final words:
"Please... if anyone can hear... please save my world...."
But, no miracle occurred.
Long Jiu, having completely annihilated the last vestiges of the descending entity, once again beheld the delectable world in his eyes.
The ferocious dragon heads sliced through the space of the outer void, directly lunging towards the world to bite!
The tearing of the nine colossal dragon heads could instantly rip the Number Nine Game World into countless fragments!
And the Great Source Power, already materialized by the game, would become Long Jiu's greatest gain from this expedition!
According to the usual procedure, before the world was completely destroyed, Long Jiu should have allowed the favored races of the Great Lords to turn the game world's inhabitants into livestock.
Through the game's power, the favored races could herd and slaughter the local inhabitants, thereby acquiring ordinary Source, and subsequently increasing the strength of the favored races.
But Long Jiu had no intention of doing so. After all, if other favored races were to permanently reside here, the secret of this world would be compromised!
Therefore, it intended to directly tear this world apart and obtain the complete Great Source materialized by the game's power.
Afterward, giving one or two more Great Sources to the other Great Lords would be sufficient compensation.
This was the entirety of Long Jiu's plan, and the destiny it had written for this world from the beginning!
As for the world's demise, the deaths of trillions of humans, and the reality of countless human destinies being manipulated?
The Void Great Lords did not care!
Mortals feared the consequences of events, Bodhisattvas feared the karmic seeds that led to evil outcomes, but Void Great Lords, they were the arbiters of cause and effect!
Deep within the Infinite Prismatic Layers, the Great Lords, with a single thought, could observe the myriad changes in countless worlds within the outer void.
Their every action, to mortals, was destiny!
But, in this world, there was someone who refused to believe in fate!
The ferocious nine dragon heads, mid-lunge, suddenly halted.
Despite the delectable world being right before them, the nine dragon heads could not advance another inch!
In the midst of this sudden change, Long Jiu's head snapped backward. It could feel an irresistible force dragging its body from behind!
The camera zoomed out infinitely,
And there, standing on the solidified river water, was a monster larger than a planet. Before it, a world encased in a special cube.
And beyond the edge of the solidified river water, within the normally flowing Void River, a human arm, impossibly small, firmly gripped the very edge of the monster's body.
The scene was utterly absurd,
A being the size of an ordinary person, using only one hand, had managed to bring this star-devouring behemoth to a standstill.
But for Chen Luo, this was not impossible!
The young man, clad in a silver-grey battle robe, slowly rose from the Void River. He gazed at the ferocious dragon heads and calmly stated,
"I said, at the end, Long Jiu will be killed. You're Long Jiu, right."
Domain power! Extremely amplified spell enhancement! Vitality power! Soul power!
Countless powers converged onto Chen Luo's arm. His seemingly ordinary flesh and blood, under the ultimate amplification, had even faintly turned crystalline and transparent!
But this artistic arm possessed the genuine power to intercept worlds!
The destiny written by the Great Lord for the world had encountered an unexpected disruptor.
But, it mattered not!
"Roar!!! Domain-level rat! Die!!!"
The shadows covering the giant dragon's body transformed into smoldering black flames! The solidified Void River water beneath it suddenly burned away into infinite steam.
A terrifying amount of energy and information was channeled through this steam, sent to the outer void.
And this was merely the monster's warm-up before its attack!
The ferocious dragon heads, burning with black fire, descended from the sky!
The Void River water here was even pushed away, creating a void!
Under the terrifying pressure, Chen Luo's body began to show faint cracks, a result of pure power suppression!
Yet, facing such a formidable enemy, Chen Luo showed no panic:
"You arranged the Void Serpent, allowing it to directly jump from the second-tier Purgatory to the Abyss, and then, utilizing the characteristics of the Void Child, it directly ascended to the Domain level."
"You didn't let it reach the limit of the Abyss, because that is the peak power of mortals! If it had truly comprehended it, even you wouldn't have been able to so easily occupy this body."
From within the black fire on the dragon's head, the Great Lord's mocking voice echoed:
"So what? True Manifestation was indeed an obstacle. True Manifestation is the ultimate of the mundane. If it could have been comprehended, perhaps it would have caused me a little trouble."
"But now that I have descended, and it has completely dissipated, what meaning is there in discussing this?"
"And you, you overconfident rat! You shall be the dessert before my feast!!!"
Under the terrifying pressure, all nine dragon heads simultaneously lunged towards Chen Luo,
The horrifying oppressive aura caused Chen Luo, like fragile porcelain about to shatter, to be covered in dense cracks.
But he calmly looked at the ferocious monster before him and slowly said,
"In that man's memory, after being reborn from within the Void Serpent, he imprinted the void and then directly arrived in the Void River."
"Here, having just become a Domain user, he used the immeasurable information and energy of the Void River to furiously nourish and expand his domain."
"This memory has given me a hint."
"It seems I have never truly bathed in the radiance of the Void River!"
The evil dragon's gaze became even more malevolent:
"So what? Even if you strengthen your domain now, it will only make my dessert more delicious!"
"Besides, how could there be a Domain user who hasn't undergone the baptism of the Void River? Mortal! Are you trying to deceive a Great Lord?!"
Chen Luo did not respond to the dragon that was about to bite him. Instead, he looked at the spot where a True Spirit had dissipated and nodded gently:
"Nameless one, I heard your plea."
"I cannot forgive your sins on behalf of others."
"But I can, on your behalf, beat this disgusting monster to a pulp!"
