Upon hearing Han Shuo's agreement, the God of Space and Time's wizened face revealed a faint smile. All of a sudden, the world he had created quieted down. A colorful tunnel appeared in the sky and stopped in front of Han Shuo's two avatars.
Looking inside, Han Shuo discovered that there were rays of light shooting out from the tunnel. The chaotic energies of space collided with each other, as if they were about to tear something apart.
An ancient and lonely aura gradually spread out from the tunnel.
"Come with me. I'll take you somewhere." Suddenly, the wizened face of the God of Space and Time disappeared, and a hunched figure appeared in the colorful tunnel. The voice came from the figure whose back was facing Han Shuo.
The two souls' Divine Souls moved and immediately sensed that the ancient and lonely aura was coming from the back of the figure that appeared in the passageway.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo let out a carefree smile and stepped into the strange tunnel.
As soon as the two avatars entered the tunnel, the chaotic energies of space rushed over and twisted Han Shuo's body. Before Han Shuo could prepare himself, a blinding light burst out. The energy of space compressed into a point and sucked both of Han Shuo's bodies into it.
In a flash, Han Shuo appeared above the dense white clouds. Before him was a stooped old man with a smile on his face. The old man looked at Han Shuo and softly said, "Thank you."
Han Shuo immediately realized that this old man was the God of Space and Time. There was a power that made Han Shuo's heart palpitate. Having communicated with Nestedt, Omphalos, and Gourado, Han Shuo naturally knew that this was the unique power of Quintessence.
"You're welcome. If I can reach that realm one day, I'll lend you a hand," Han Shuo promised with a smile.
The two avatars that had been forcibly separated were once again brought back together using the power of space.
"This isn't the world you created, is it?" He did not sense any abnormalities in the energy of space but could sense the presence of elements. He immediately knew that he had walked out of the world he created.
"Of course not." The God of Space and Time smiled and pointed to the front. "Look, what's that?"
Amidst the dense fog, a majestic ancient city stood tall. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled around the ancient city, and a violent storm raged without end. Death, destruction, light, and various other energies collided with each other, forming layers of barriers that were hard to be seen by the naked eye, firmly protecting the ancient city.
At a glance, the ancient city seemed to have a life of its own. It was constantly moving in the thick fog. Wherever it moved, the thunder, lightning, fierce winds, and heavenly flames would always follow it. The boundary formed by the collision of the various powers in this universe flickered with multi-coloured light, blooming with a bewitching and gorgeous beauty.
"Sky City!" Han Shuo took a deep breath and shouted.
"That's right, Sky City!" The God of Space and Time nodded, his old face solemn. "This is a castle that she created with her own hands. It's constantly moving and absorbing the various powers of the universe. When the Sky City moves, it destroys all matter that blocks its way. Since it has been dormant in there, sixty-five planes have been crushed by the Sky City. "
"Why would she do that?" Han Shuo was shocked.
So many planes had actually been crushed by Sky City. What kind of power was this? She, who was heavily injured in there, could still use Sky City to destroy planes. Just how powerful was she?
"We need the power of faith to control the Divine Spark. I'm sure Nestedt and the others have already told you this. The power of faith comes from all the living beings in the planes. If all the low-level life forms in the planes disappear, we won't be able to continue receiving the power of faith. When that happens, the Divine Spark will break free from our control and return to Sky City. " The God of Space sighed softly. "Even when she's in Aethernia, she's still the one holding the initiative. She's pressuring us step by step, making us feel like we're living in her shadow."
"Can't you stop her?" Han Shuo was stunned. Looking at the barrier formed by the various powers of the universe, he felt a little sorry for the twelve Quintessence Overgods.
"The enchantment protecting Sky City contains all the power of this universe. The power of the enchantment that collides with each other is indestructible. The power of the twelve of us cannot break through the enchantment with our Godheads. We can only watch helplessly as it destroys one plane after another." The God of Space and Time shook his head with a bitter smile. "All we can do is evacuate the living beings in those planes as soon as possible and preserve their lives before Sky City hits. However, there are many who refuse to leave and don't believe that their world will suddenly be destroyed. Even if we use the power of the Temple to restrain them, there are still many who don't believe it. Some even doubt our faith and resist our restraints. In the end, they disappear along with the plane.
"Over the years, countless lives have been lost just like that. The power of faith we're getting is getting less and less. At this rate, even if she doesn't come out of Sky City, she'll still force us to our deaths! "
"How vicious!" Han Shuo exclaimed. He finally understood why the twelve Quintessence Overgods were so desperate, why they built shrines in all the major planes, and why they fought for the power of faith.
"You might not know this, but there's a powerful force at the core of every plane. When a plane is destroyed, that force will be released and absorbed by Sky City, allowing her to recover faster. Over the years, every time she destroys a plane, she recovers a portion of her power. She should have recovered a third of her power by now. " The God of Space took a deep breath and said, "So, she's ready to deal with us now that she's confident."
"Why do you say that?" Han Shuo asked, puzzled.
"Because Sky City is moving towards Elysium!" The God of Space shouted.
Han Shuo's face paled at those words. Elysium was the foundation of the twelve Quintessence Overgods' existence and the place with the densest energy in the universe. If Elysium were to be destroyed by Sky City, what would happen to the twelve Quintessence Overgods if she were to absorb all the energy released?
"It's just as you think. The force on Elysium is more than all the planes she has destroyed over the years combined. Once Elysium is destroyed, she'll be able to recover a third of her power. When that happens, no one on this plane will be her match, "the God of Space said in despair.
"How much time do we have?" Han Shuo frowned as he realized the gravity of the situation.
"Two hundred and thirty years. Given the speed at which Aethernia is moving, it will reach Elysium in another two hundred and thirty years. We must break the boundary within this period of time. We must make preparations in advance. The war of the gods must also end within this period of time! Otherwise, no one will be able to escape from her grasp! "The God of Space said with difficulty.
"What a heavy topic …" A ball of flame floated over. The flame twisted for a while, revealing a red-skinned man. His entire body seemed to be burning in flames. Endless fire elements lingered around his body, making him hotter than the sun.
"Charteris, you're here too," the God of Space said coldly as he looked at the man who was burning like the sun.
"I thought you were hiding, Fernando. Haha, so you're not unconcerned about Sky City." Charteris, the God of Fire, smiled brightly. He looked at Han Shuo and said passionately, "Oh, you're Han Shuo, aren't you? I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I didn't think I'd meet you here. How do you feel, seeing Sky City getting closer and closer? "
Charteris didn't stand on ceremony at all. As he spoke, he suddenly moved to Han Shuo's side and released a terrifying wave of heat. Han Shuo's body, which was made up of two avatars, couldn't withstand the heat. He felt as though he was sinking into a sea of fire.
Han Shuo retreated a little and looked at Sky City that was constantly moving. He smiled and said, "What else can I do?"
"You still need to be able to stop it." Charteris wore a mocking smile as he looked at Han Shuo, seemingly disappointed. He then turned to the God of Space, Fernando, and frowned. "After so many years, you still can't do anything? If you can lure Sky City to another universe, maybe we won't have to be so passive anymore. "
"If I had that power, I would have left this universe a long time ago. Why would I care about your lives?" Fernando didn't seem to like him and said sarcastically.
A huge crystal drop of water suddenly appeared beside Han Shuo. Before Han Shuo could react, the crystal drop of water wrapped around Han Shuo. The power of water suddenly bound Han Shuo. No matter how hard Han Shuo struggled, he couldn't get out of the water drop.
A beautiful woman walked out of the void with an ice-cold face. Her skin was sparkling and translucent, and there was a bone-chilling aura around her. She glanced at Han Shuo, who was struggling to break free from the water droplets, and said with a sullen face, "Isn't it a little too rash for us to place all our hopes on this person? With his power, it's impossible for him to break the enchantment of Sky City in 230 years! "
"Manjou, if you have a way, why don't you try to break the enchantment? If you have a way, I, Nestedt, will listen to you in the future. " A gloomy aura of death rippled, and Nestedt, Gourado, and Omphalos walked out of it, mocking the Goddess of Water.
The Goddess of Water, Manjou, frowned and glanced at Nestedt. She snorted and took back the water drop that was imprisoning Han Shuo.
