Chapter 1273: The Real Twilight of Gods After Lucifer and the Gods left the prison cell, the scene in Chen Rui’s eyes changed again and turned into a fierce battle scene. The sky was shattered while the entire world was constantly twisting, breaking, and trembling. The terrifying energy aftermath dissipated in all directions. Although to Chen Rui these were just illusions, he could still feel the terror of that energy level. Even in his power peak, once he was involved in the energy aftermath, he would also be annihilated without a doubt. Not long ago, Chen Rui witnessed a large-scale fierce battle in the Ghastly Floating Land. The number of people fighting in front of him was far less than in that war, but the power and intensity were 1000 times greater. This was the Battle of Gods, more precisely, the first Battle of Gods. The Gods each turned into a galaxy that contained unfathomable power, surrounding the Supreme God in the center. Each blow could bring a terrifying power. Even if it was the Supreme God, it was also impossible to be unscathed under this kind of attack. The injured Supreme God let out a furious roar. Wherever his will extended, the galaxies were annihilated. The immortal bodies of the Gods were turned into ashes by the terrifying power. Many Gods fell one after another. In order to survive, the Gods had no choice but to suppress the fear in their minds and continue to besiege. However, the power of the Supreme God was too strong. The surging power was like a small universe. All the galaxies and the brilliance of the stars seemed small and dim in front of him. For the Gods, the situation was already extremely dangerous. At this moment, the Supreme God suddenly showed a panic expression, because the power he feared most appeared, the Book of Life and Death. ——These damned guys actually released the supreme key that I secretly held in the prison, and they even unsealed the suppressing power I set on Lucifer. Now the most dreaded Book of Life and Death has been released! As soon as the breath of ‘life and death’ appeared, the power of the Supreme God was indeed greatly suppressed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining Gods, led by Heinks and Sorenyat, launched the craziest attack while risking their lives. The Supreme God was finally exhausted. The damaged body exuded blood red breath, and his body began to be annihilated bit by bit. Realizing that he was in a desperate situation, the Supreme God made a resolute decision. He desperately rushed toward the Book of Life and Death at the risk of complete annihilation. He forcibly integrated with the Book of Life and Death, bursting out with a power that made everyone tremble. Even if the Supreme God were to die, everyone would be buried with him! This was no longer just the power of the Book of Life and Death. Lucifer borrowed the power of the Gods to forcefully break through the suppression of the Supreme God and undo the seal of the Book of Life and Death. His vitality had already been severely injured. Even if he suppressed it with all his strength, he would not be able to seal the Book of Life and Death where the Supreme God was located. Just when Lucifer was on the verge of annihilation, something happened that he would never forget. Rafferty stood in front of him and used her talents to activate the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction. Fusing the sealing power in Lucifer’s body, she sealed the Book of Life and Death that was about to explode together with the Supreme God’s remnant soul into her own elemental world. The price was, her life. At the last moment of being sealed, the Supreme God cast a curse with his soul and the Book of Life and Death. He cursed Lucifer would forever be suffering in a living hell, cursed the gods would lose Godhood, and their souls would sink forever in darkness. As far as the moment was concerned, Lucifer got rid of the fate of ‘key’, but he lost his beloved. This kind of pain needed no curse. The scene in Chen Rui’s eyes gradually became blurred. He finally figured out the whole story of the first Battle of Gods, and he also understood the existence sealed in the elemental world. The Elemental War must be the ritual to maintain the seal when the Elemental Goddess was not around. Only when Rafferty’s Godhood fragments were collected, the Elemental War might end. This was the first Battle of the Gods and the alternation of God’s authority. In the end, the Supreme God was defeated by the Gods and sealed in the elemental world. The screen began to change again. There was a battle between the Gods and the Abyss Will transformed by the Godhood of Darkness. After several Gods fell unexpectedly, the Gods finally discovered that the Godhood of Darkness was equivalent to their own destiny twins. Annihilating the Godhood of Darkness was tantamount to committing suicide, so the Gods gave up their original intention and sealed the Abyss Will in the Lava Plane. Just in case, they set the authority power enchantment on the main plane. The Gods who thought they could solve the scourge completely began to replace the Supreme God to control the world, enjoy a free and unconstrained wonderful life, accept the worship of all life, and bestow various powers on believers. They selected a large number of God servants, and spread their faith and teachings. Devout believers built Angels City at the foot of God Mountain. Through the reports of God’s servants and listening to God’s teachings, Gods would also perform miracles from time to time. In Chen Rui’s view, this Angels City was very similar to the Holy Church’s Holy Light City. It was probably planned by Michael and others based on the original Angels City. In addition to the Gods, the top administrator of Angels City was the leader of the 7 angels. Among the 7 chief archangels, Lucifer ranked first. Although Lucifer could not break through to God Level due to limitation by the Supreme’s authority power, Lucifer was well-deserved as the number one person below God regardless of strength, combat experience. and seniority. Lucifer, who experienced the fall of the Elemental Goddess, gradually healed the wounds in his heart under the comfort of time. He now had a warm home. His main wife was the former God’s servant of the Elemental Goddess, Phoenix, and he had many concubines. As the most powerful archangel, he also had the most admirers, including such excellent women as Gabriel and Python. Back then, the god servant who revealed the Supreme God’s conspiracy was Elf Alucier, who possessed a certain power of foresight. He was appointed as the Servant of Destiny by the Gods. He became friends with Lucifer. Michael, Satan, and others also admired Lucifer’s power and followed his order in everything. Having family, relatives, and friends made Lucifer regain the meaning of existence. However, the good times didn’t last long. While the Gods were enjoying freedom and supreme control, their desires were also rapidly expanding. Due to the loss of that common enemy, the original contradictions began to emerge. The disputes of faith intensified more and more. They finally split into 2 camps of light and darkness. Due to the old feud with Light God Heinks, Lucifer accepted the Dark Oracle Satan’s invitation without hesitation. He chose the dark camp led by Dark God Sorenyat, and lived in seclusion in the Demon Realm. Michael was originally 1 of the top 3 Light God Oracles, so it was impossible for him to betray Heinks. The same went for Gabriel and Raphael. The former partners became enemies. The oracles of the dark camp were denounced as the fallen ones by the angels of the human world. Only Python silently followed Lucifer into the darkness. Light denounced darkness as evil, and darkness refuted light as hypocrisy. Under the conflict between faith and belief, the war between the 2 sides inevitably happened. This was a protracted war, and it was also a catastrophe. The faithful fought frantically for God’s will, and countless oracles, god’s servants, and believers died in the war, which was tragic. Chen Rui had already witnessed it in the Ghastly Floating Land before. He still had lingering fears to this moment. The accumulation of hatred and the fanaticism of faith further escalated the war. The disaster of war spread to more and more innocent people. As the strongest warrior, Lucifer once indulged in the pleasant feeling of beheading the enemy and controlling the battlefield. Until one day when he returned home, he found that his warm home had been turned into a piece of scorched earth. The loved ones whose voices and smiles were still in memory turned into cold corpses. Only the soul of the little daughter with the Phoenix girl had not dissipated. With the help of Python, his little daughter’s soul was temporarily sealed. Afterward, Lucifer, who was angry and sad, broke into the human world alone, and slaughtered the angel legion who attacked the Demon Realm and even the city where it was located. Amidst the blood and flames, he suddenly woke up in horror. He realized that he himself became a murderer who destroyed countless families and took away countless relatives. It had been so from the beginning. At this moment, Lucifer felt the pain of a living hell. The Supreme’s curse had been fulfilled again. Alucier appeared and brought a secret that shocked Lucifer even more. This was a secret that Alucier only learned not long ago, that was, the agreement of the Gods. The agreement between the light and the dark camps was that the Gods themselves would not participate in the war. Within 100 years, based on the number of deaths of believers on both sides, the loser would respect the winner. 10,000 years later, the two sides would fight again, and the rules of the game would remain the same. So many dead lives with so many shattered families. It was not a conflict of faith or belief. It was just a game of interests and power played by the Gods. The life of the Gods was eternal. This game would go on until they got tired of it and change to a fresher one. Chen Rui also understood why more than 1 Elemental King said such words: All creatures are just playthings of the gods. Alucier sighed and implicitly said to Lucifer, “At the beginning, they tried their best to defeat ‘that person’ who wanted to destroy the world and enslave them; now, they have become ‘that person’.” Lucifer looked at the sky, then at the blood on his hands. He said with all his strength, “This world doesn’t need Gods.” Chen Rui suddenly recalled. The feeling of this sentence… That’s right, it was the sentence that Lucifer said before destroying Rafferty’s soul when he was in the elemental world! This sentence contained a lot of meanings, especially for the former lover Rafferty… The Elemental Goddess who was also one of the targets of the Supreme’s curse. One could imagine his state of mind when he personally annihilated his lover. Rafferty also did not resist. Some things had surpassed life and death. The scene changed again. Lucifer also looked at the Gods in the sky and said the same sentence. Then, he summoned the Book of Life and Death, which was sealed in the elemental world and fused with the soul of the Supreme God. All the Gods fell under the power of life and death emitted by the Supreme God’s ‘eye’. There was no God in the world anymore. That was the ‘Twilight of Gods’. After eliminating the Gods, Lucifer did not let the soul of the Supreme God escape from the Book of Life and Death. He sealed the Book of Life and Death again. Like Rafferty back then, he paid the price of his life. The supreme key transformed by the body was scattered into the 7 artifacts. By virtue of the origin power of the Book of Life and Death, a trace of his remnant soul was retained among the 7 artifacts. Chen Rui personally experienced the later events. It was he who analyzed the 7 artifacts, fused Lucifer’s soul, and obtained premature and weakest rebirth. The 7 artifacts merged together, showing the shadow of Lucifer. He watched Chen Rui quietly. Lucifer’s eyes were still as strange as they were when they first met, seemingly indifferent, but they contained deep emotions, which were unforgettable at first sight. If there was a third person, he would find that although they looked completely different, they had similar temperaments. This might be why many people misunderstood that Chen Rui was Lucifer. Chen Rui was also staring at Lucifer. The scenes in his consciousness just now were all transmitted to him by Lucifer with the last soul power. It was not only to tell him the truth but also for something else. Lucifer’s current remnant soul could only summon the Book of Life and Death once, then the supreme key would completely collapse. It could only be summoned and could not be sealed again. Chen Rui suddenly remembered the betting agreement between Lucifer and Alucier in the mirror world. All of a sudden, he seemed to understand something. The past events can no longer be reproduced, and they are meaningless now. If I want to really end or change everything, I can only ‘transcend’. Lucifer couldn’t ‘transcend’ the past, so Alucier chose the more likely Chen Rui. Transcend. Not only to transcend Lucifer and other existences but also to transcend himself: the ‘Supreme God’… of the Super System’s universe in another sense. Up to now, Chen Rui was still not sure whether Alucier really knew the identity of him as the crossover and about the Super System. He could only be sure that – the elf prophet’s bet was really big. Seeing that Chen Rui seemed to have realized something, Lucifer smiled as his face gradually faded. Chen Rui’s vision returned to the original Chaos Realm. Although his consciousness just now had experienced many things, it was actually just a split second. In the Chaos Realm, countless indescribably powerful forces flooded Chen Rui’s entire senses. Those huge ‘corpses’ open their eyes one after another, rushing toward him with boundless power. In the sky, there were 2 rays of light emitting an intent origin power, Creation and Destruction. Under such terrifying power, Chen Rui couldn’t escape, move, or even think, but his gaze was calm, and the light of the card in his hand became brighter and brighter. The blood-red light illuminated the entire Chaos Realm. Under this light, the brilliance of the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction seemed eclipsed. The terrifying power from the huge ‘corpses’ was torn apart one after another. Even the strongest space, the Chaos Realm, was damaged. Burning blood flames spewed out from the cracks in the space. As the holder of the supreme key, Chen Rui did not feel the damage from the blood flames, but the awakened giants screamed. Their bodies scorched quickly under the burning of the red flames, and the stars in the galaxies system burst and collapsed. The collapsed stars seemed to be attracted by something as they surged frantically toward the card. They were instantly devoured. At the peak stage, the Gods were no match for the Supreme God, let alone the current state. The screams soon weakened, and the bodies of the giants began to disintegrate rapidly, eventually turning into nothingness. These former Gods, transformed to the Abyss will at all costs, tried their best to destroy the whole world and resurrect themselves, but in the end, it came to naught. It was the ‘Twilight of Gods’ once again; the real end too. The ‘reflection’ of the Demon Realm and the human world was about to get close to the ground, but it suddenly stopped moving. The clear mirror image gradually faded. After the Gods disappeared, the entire Chaos Realm suddenly became empty, but Chen Rui did not leave, because he knew that there was one final and most terrifying enemy. TL: One last fight!?
