Outside Of Time

"Jade Flowing Dust!"

A chilly raspy sound rang out from the void. It contained seriousness and killing intent. That was the voice of the Northern Fate Royal Family's Wind God.

However, that was all.

Jade Flowing Dust, who no longer had a sword impaled on His chest, would have no obstructions in the recovery of His cultivation. He was a Divine Platform god tens of thousands of years ago.

Powerful as the Northern Fate Royal Family was, although they did not fear Divine Platforms, they ultimately did not want to offend Them too deeply unless they had no choice, especially a Divine Platform that had not used the Wanggu's faith.

Hence, they could only endure this loss.

The other forces were also filled with various thoughts when they saw this scene.

The Great Emperor held the sword shadow and stared in all directions.

Wherever his gaze landed, the void would fluctuate. The gods hiding in the void retreated again and again, not daring to face him head-on.

The divine senses of the various powerful races trembled and retracted.

They originally thought that the Sword Holding Great Emperor was already at the end of his rope. However, the scene earlier reversed the situation. At this moment, no one wanted to risk their lives to test it.

This was because they weren't sure if the Sword Holding Great Emperor still had a trump card or if he was still fishing.

Hence, all the forces stayed put.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit. After dozens of breaths, the divine fire on the Empress' body had already surged into the sky.

The world turned golden. Endless divine flames formed a vast momentum that swept through the sky.

She was only one step away from success…

She was only ten breaths away!

All eyes were on her.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor also looked at the Empress and smiled.

However, in the depths of this smile, there was deep fatigue.

At this moment, he was really at the end of his rope.

Although he hoped that the sword in his hand could continue to shine, the hidden weakness in his body still spread in the end, causing the sword to start dissipating.

Just like his soul, it began to disappear, starting from its essence.

However, he was still forcing himself. At least on the surface, he was still supreme.

He wanted to hold on until the Empress' godhood ritual finished.

After that, he wanted to take one last look at this human world, the human race here, and this sorrowful world at the instant his life faded.

Compared to the Great Emperor's weakness, the Empress' divine fire was increasingly vigorous.

The world in the Great Emperor's heart dimmed, and the world that belonged to the Empress became increasingly golden.

The god's aura from the Empress' body rose one last time, forming the sound of endless heavenly lightning. It shattered the laws and Dao.

Her life was undergoing a qualitative change!

This scene caused people to sigh.

One was dying, while the other's vitality was soaring high.

'Like a cycle…'

The Great Emperor murmured to himself, feeling endless fatigue and boundless weakness, like the tides of eternity overwhelming him from within. This caused a hint of cloudiness to appear in his once sharp eyes.

The once wise heart of his lifetime was now covered in dust.

In a daze, this cloudiness unknowingly reflected red.

This dust silently transformed into paper.

The red and paper merged together, forming five… red paper effigies.

They looked like they were crying but also laughing.

Four of them appeared around the Sword Holding Great Emperor's soul body, while one appeared within the soul body.

Then, with a clap of thunder and an ancient cry of sorrow, the expressions of these five paper figures turned intensely greedy. They lunged from all directions!

The paper effigy inside the Great Emperor's soul suddenly melted, turning into blood, spreading throughout his soul, and instantly intertwining with the incoming paper effigies!

All of this happened too suddenly.

The timing was also extremely precise.

Those five paper effigies, like venomous snakes hidden in time and space, with an extremely skilled hunting method and patience surpassing that of the gods, struck just as the Empress was about to succeed, and at the moment when the Sword Holding Great Emperor was at his weakest and on the verge of collapse.

They bared their fangs, and immediately launched a fatal blow!

The paper effigies landed and enveloped the Great Emperor's soul.

They instantly fused with the soul.

The world rumbled and the Great Emperor's aura seemed to have been erased. The sword in Xu Qing's body let out an extreme sorrowful cry.

In the air, the only paper effigy inside the Great Emperor's soul let out a satisfied laugh.

"I've finally obtained the light of the Quasi-Immortal's death."

At this moment, all the experts were shocked.

All the gods' expressions fluctuated in unison.

The hearts of all beings in Wanggu felt as if their strings had snapped.

The sky roared, the earth surged, and the fate of the human race let out a cry of sorrow. At that moment, whether they were officials or commoners, all humans gnashed their teeth and widened their eyes, their hearts experiencing the greatest upheaval of their lives.

The sky had collapsed!

The Great Emperor had died!

"Great Emperor!!"

One figure after another instinctively rose into the air. Their shouts carried endless sorrow and anger as they echoed in this human world.

Seeing the Great Emperor fall like this, the humans, whether they were strong or weak, couldn't endure it.

Heaven-shattering anger and world-shattering madness ignited in the human race's bloodline at this instant. They were like flames that burned the minds of all the humans.

Xu Qing's eyes were red, but he didn't utter a word.

This was his personality. The more intense his killing intent was, the more silent he became. At that moment, he rushed forward and the Emperor Sword in his body buzzed, illuminating everything in the surroundings.

As for the red paper effigy that was still laughing in the sky, it licked its lips and looked at the Empress who was trembling and trying to walk out of the monstrous divine fire.

It laughed again and was about to attack.

Its target wasn't just the light of death.

However, at this moment, Its smile froze and a mournful wail rang out from Its mouth as Its body started burning.

This fire had boundless might.

That was the burning of the Dao, the burning of the Sword Holding Great Emperor's final obsession, and the burning of the anger in the human race's bloodline at this moment.

"Even at this point, you still had one more move left, Sword Holder. Using your own death, your Dao, your obsession to ignite the fire of the human race… You're ruthless!"

As the red paper effigy wailed, Its body instantly turned into an ashy trail, unable to continue Its plot. It could only carry the remaining trace of the light of the Quasi-Immortal's death within the ashes and break through the vacuum to escape.

It had indeed successfully obtained the light of the Great Emperor's death.

Among the many gods who came here, only It had accomplished this.

However, because of the Dao fire of Obsession, the quantity became very small.

While the price… was extremely great!

The fire didn't only burn Its paper effigy, but following the karma, it headed toward Its main body!

Hence, Its wails echoed in the sky for a long time.

The anger of the human race was still erupting.

The sorrow of the human race spread like a tide.

At this moment, the divine fire on the Empress' body merged with the flames of the human race. The anger stemming from the shared goal of countless humans within the fire caused the Empress' divine will to emanate intense humanity.

It filled Her mind and surpassed Her divinity.

Flames surged into the sky and the sky completely turned into a sea of fire that burned in Wanggu, visible from everywhere.

On the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the past human emperors stood up one after another.

Dense god aura rose from Their bodies and erupted.

They had finally become gods.

Although They didn't have any spiritual intelligence, They were guided by the fortune of the human race… Corpse Gods!

The will of the human race was Their will.

The direction of the race was Their direction!

In the air, at this instant, the Empress' aura exceeded everything and Her aura shone brightly!

It caused the sky to lose color as though it was submitting to Her.

The ground rumbled as though it was worshiping.

Countless mountains and rivers in the human race's territories resonated with Her. The bloodline of the citizens who were stranded in the various large regions also surged for some reason.

This was because under the fusion of the anger of the human race and the peak waves of human nature, She had completed Her awakening.

Success, Human God!

Her aura, under the help of the majestic divine ritual, the help of the Divine Realm authority talisman, the blessing of the Sword Holding Great Emperor, and the fusion of the anger of the human race in the end, it… jumped past flawlessness.

In one step, She reached Divine Platform!

The so-called Divine Platform shone brighter than all the stars, with an aura like the lightning from the nine heavens, immense and majestic, causing all beings who beheld Her to be filled with awe.

Her eyes were as deep as the void, capable of devouring everything, boundless and vast.

Her long hair flowed with the wind, each strand exuding a rich, divine aura that shook the heavens.

Any single strand seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth.

Even the surrounding vacuum became exceptionally oppressive, an invisible force pressing against the chests of all beings. At this moment, whether they were cultivators or gods, everyone felt a sense of suffocation.

All the heads lowered one after another.

Only the figure wearing the imperial robe and crown in the air became the sole focus of the world.

She stood there, radiating brilliant light, but the flames did not dissipate. Instead, they surged even higher, enveloping Her Divine Platform fire and gathering the fury from the hearts of the human race. Together, they burned the sky, scorched time and space, and seared all directions.

They transformed into a sentence that shook the world.

"Droz, from now on, wherever space reaches, wherever time passes, the one to slay you will be my human race! This is my oath upon the Divine Platform."

This statement became an imprint, branded into the Wanggu, above the rules and laws.

All humans remembered these words and engraved them into their souls, merging them into their bloodlines and passing them down from generation to generation.

The killing intent in Xu Qing's eyes was intense. After a long time, he silently turned his head and gazed at the statue of the Sword Holding Great Emperor.

Under the light of the flames, the statue of the Great Emperor still gazed majestic.

It was as though he was telling the world that in the last breath of his life, he had fulfilled his thoughts and wishes. He had succeeded in protecting the Empress, and even ignited the flames of the human race at the most critical moment.

He had already used everything he had.

He had no regrets.

Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed deeply to the Great Emperor's statue.

At this moment, all the living beings of the human race bowed with deep sorrow.

Sorrow became the only theme in the world.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor dominated the world for the first half of his life and accompanied Mystic Nether in battles everywhere. He made illustrious contributions to the human race and even established the Sword Holding Palace, setting its creed.

The light of heaven and earth shall erupt when they slay the danger for the people!

They shall create prosperity and peace for eternity. With the sword as the command, they shall protect the myriad beings.

And the latter half of his life was the embodiment of these two statements.

Today, he used up the last trace of his aura.

However, his desire of taking one last look at the human world and the human race would never be fulfilled…

In the distance, on the horizon of the night sky, the morning star was rising.

The long night arrived with yesterday's sunset and passed with this moment's sunrise.

It was the sunset that reflected in the hearts of people, while the rising star illuminated the Wanggu.

With each sunset, there was a sunrise.
