CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 594: QUEEN MOTHER DECLARES CALAMITY, HEAVEN AND EARTH DIVIDE INTO THREE!

A dimness pervaded.

Gradually, light began to emerge.

An authoritative female voice resounded from an unknown source:

"At the dawn of chaos, Heaven and Earth were divided into three."

"The eternal power manifested as the Three Realms, namely Heaven, Earth, and Humanity."

"This is the foundation of humanity and the fundamental world system of human civilization, named—"

"’Pangu’."

"After Pangu perished, it fragmented into billions of worlds."

"From that time until now, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years have passed."

"Time gradually turned to ash, history eroded by the wind and sand, leaving no one but myself today who knows that the ’Heaven and Earth’ world is the last core world of Pangu’s remnants, and also the fundamental source of all human civilization."

In the darkness, strands of light appeared, forming scene after scene.

One World Master after another, and even the Master of the Stars, merged into the Heaven and Earth world, continuously expanding it. Simultaneously.

There also descended flesh and skulls, enormous black skeletons, and other bizarre and mysterious creatures that began to perform various rituals, calling upon stronger creatures of mystery to descend upon the world.

"I, peering into the destiny of Heaven, know that today is the moment for all to return."

"All worlds will once again converge into the ’Heaven and Earth’ world, gradually merging into one, and Pangu’s form will reappear!"

All light and shadow dissipated.

The surrounding darkness grew even deeper.

The Queen Mother of the West’s voice became more serious and solemn:

"When the ’Heaven and Earth’ world becomes ’Pangu’ once again, the power of the initial chaos will surge forth—"

"That is an eternal, cosmic, ’Holy’ level power."

"Whoever grasps these ’Holy’ level powers will rule everything, above and below Heaven, and might even ascend to the Holy Realm, becoming an eternal and immortal being."

Wu Xiaode finally realized the gravity of the situation.

Simply unleashing "Love, Dreams, World Peace" forced all bizarre creatures into close combat.

What if they obtained the "Holy" level power?

The answer was on the brink of emergence.

Damn.

Did it have to be so dramatic?

The female voice continued:

"Next, it will be the rivalry between mystery and mankind."

"The ’Heaven and Earth’ world is about to face a great calamity."

"This calamity will also be the decisive battle between all beings and the mysteries."

"In preparation for this calamity, all divine spirits have reincarnated from the future, ready to join this battle, and I have also found you from a later era."

"Unexpectedly—"

"The will of Heaven is unpredictable, and all fates are constantly changing, my calculations have also deviated."

"The calamity has arrived ahead of schedule."

"As you can see, I am still an unborn infant, unable to participate in this battle."

"Many other Heavenly Gods are also unable to join this fight."

Wu Xiaode responded:

"Now that we have so many World Masters and countless beings, perhaps leaving it to us to fight might also lead us to victory over them."

The female voice spoke again:

"The number of beings falls far short of the mysteries, which are endless."

Endless?

Wu Xiaode began to hesitate.

Endless? How would they fight then?

"Moreover, it is very likely that the mysteries will occupy Heaven and achieve a Divine Position, ruling the Three Realms."

"If that step is reached, all is truly lost."

"So what should we do?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You must find another flag of the Master of Time before the mysteries win this war."

"That flag is known as ’Quicksand’, and it possesses a Secret Technique that can allow us, the Original Divine Beings, to enter the battle."

"The moment Original Divine Beings can participate, the ’endless’ advantage of mysterious life forms will be offset."

"With that, there is hope for all beings."

Wu Xiaode snapped his fingers and said:

"I have experience collecting things, now let me wake up, and I’ll act immediately."

In the darkness, the Queen Mother of the West’s voice quieted down.

"What’s wrong?"

Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

After several seconds, the Queen Mother of the West’s voice resounded again:

"Unexpected events are unfolding one after another, in a minute, ’Pangu’ will partially awaken and release the first strand of ’Holy’ level power."

"What will happen?" Wu Xiaode quickly asked.

"Not certain for now..."

The Queen Mother of the West said.

"Not a single piece of information?" Wu Xiaode pursued unwillingly.

"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, they regard all creations as stray dogs—remember this phrase, it is never a joke, Little Wu, it’s time for you to wake up," the Queen Mother of the West said.

As her words concluded.

Wu Xiaode opened his eyes and found his head resting on Jiang Shanglan’s legs.

The street was covered in gold.

"How long did I sleep?"

he asked.

"Not long, just a few minutes," Jiang Shanglan said.

Her gently smiling face suddenly stiffened, and she looked up at the distant sky.

Wu Xiaode also followed her gaze.

A strange fluctuation transmitted from the sky.

Merely perceiving this power made all creatures on the earth, World Masters, and even the mysterious life forms bow down.

"How could it be... to have such power..." Jiang Shanglan muttered in disbelief.

The next second.

Lines of ice crystal characters emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"’Pangu’ has begun to awaken."

"A strand of ’Holy’ level power from the beginning of Heaven and Earth has appeared."

"This power has detected the Holy skills existing in the current Heaven, Earth, and Man world: ’Love, Dreams, World Peace’."

"This power, based on ’Love, Dreams, World Peace,’ starts to select the survivors."

"The rules are as follows:"

"Build a shelter, to hide from the Primordial Tribulation of Wind, Fire, Earth, and Water."

"If the shelter is destroyed, you will be deprived of all your powers and will die immediately."

"Those who die will turn into World Source Power, providing energy for the awakening of the ’Hell’ world—it is the ’Earth’ among the Heaven, Earth, and Man world."

"Those who survive will advance one life level."

"—The above information will directly appear in the minds of every being."

Wu Xiaode looked down and saw an ant that had just emerged from its hole, stop in place, then suddenly turn around and dive back into the hole.

All beings and mysterious lives knew that the Primordial Tribulation was about to come!

"Little Wu, we need to find a building."

Jiang Shanglan urgently voiced out, quickly scanning the town to select a strong enough building.

Wu Xiaode jumped off her leg, waved his ring, gathered all the gold, and took her hand to run toward the bar.

"Have you picked out a shelter?" Jiang Shanglan asked as they ran.

"There is a shelter I haven’t managed much and don’t know how the defenses are, but I must go, you come with me," Wu Xiaode said loudly.

"Okay." Jiang Shanglan responded without hesitation.

The two made their way into the bar.

They encountered Shen Feixue hurrying out the door.

"Master Little Wu! I was just about to call you back!"

She quickly said.

—She had also received the message.

"Can our bar hold up?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"After the last battle, the bar has already become a hazardous building," Shen Feixue said.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

Shen Feixue pulled out a remote control, pressed a few buttons, and continued:

"For safety, we gave it a major overhaul—back then, Zhao Junyu and Xiao Baihong contributed a large sum of money to buy a lot of materials, and I designed the entire building. My sister and Christina also contributed quite a bit of power."

Iron walls slowly rose from the ground around the bar, and the roof emitted squeaking and creaking sounds as it automatically replaced with a thicker protective layer.

"This reminds me, the more people, the more power."

Wu Xiaode said, opening the Book of the Dead and flipping directly to the page "Shadow Followers."

Lines of ice crystal characters suddenly emerged:

"This is the initial celestial tribulation; the space-time has been sealed off, and traversing is not possible."

On the card, the people could not be summoned at all.

—Xiao Baihong, Li Kunlun, and Zhao Junyu were relegated to the future.

The Ghost Queen Audrey, Little Bone, and Christina were immediately relegated to "Hell," rendering the entire card gray and showing they were momentarily unavailable.

Shen Xiujun was relegated to the subordinates of the mysterious life, in an unsummonable place!

As for Blood Youth...

She was already free.

On the card, Blood Youth showed a complex expression.

"Sorry, I have been too busy and haven’t had the chance to cancel all the contracts, and now is a good time to do it,"

Wu Xiaode spoke as he lightly tapped on the card.

Lines of ice crystal characters emerged:

"Are you sure you want to release the Shadow Followers contract?"

"Confirmed," Wu Xiaode said.

The card’s border instantly disappeared.

Blood Youth floated in the Void, and as the card’s border disappeared, she gradually faded from view in front of Wu Xiaode.

"You don’t want this female slave anymore?"

Jiang Shanglan asked.

"I’ve promised to give her freedom," Wu Xiaode said.

At that moment, only Wu Xiaode, Jiang Shanglan, and Shen Feixue were left in the entire bar.

Outside, the sky suddenly darkened.

The three looked out the window together to see the sky begin to rain.

—The Primordial Tribulation had begun!

The first trial, the Rain Tribulation!

All beings and mysterious lives simultaneously received this message.

"The rain is starting to get heavier,"

Jiang Shanglan whispered lightly.

"It seems if you just hide inside a building and aren’t drenched by the rain, there shouldn’t be any problem," Shen Feixue said.

"It’s not that simple," Wu Xiaode and Jiang Shanglan said in unison.

Under their gaze, the rainwater gradually converged into streams, gathering more and more until it formed a raging flood.

The flood began to slam against the buildings on the street.

Boom—

A wooden house was completely destroyed.

A few pigeons that had been hiding under the eaves spread their wings, ready to fly away.

But it was too late.

The pigeons turned into skeletons mid-air, broke apart, and fell into the rainwater.

—They were dead.

Suddenly, the flood turned and rolled toward the direction of the bar.

A health bar appeared in the Void above it.

The health bar flickered incessantly.
