Chapter 205: Chapter205-The Predecessors Plant the Trees, the Descendants Enjoy the Shade

Upon the high platform.

Natasha stood before the crowd, her gaze sweeping across the hundreds of powerful experts present.

She looked over each face one by one. Her gaze paused on Daniel for an instant, then calmly moved away.

Daniel’s eyes shifted slightly.

It seemed Natasha did not recognize him.

Most likely, the Natasha he had encountered that night had belonged to another time and space, not the Natasha of this timeline.

After figuring this out, Daniel waited quietly, wanting to see exactly what Natasha intended to do.

Natasha withdrew her gaze and slowly drew the long sword at her waist.

Clang!

The tip of the sword pointed toward the firmament.

Her voice was cold and clear, yet carried an unquestionable determination.

"I have summoned all of you here today for one purpose only—to destroy Divine Wrath!"

"Until that goal is achieved, we will not stop!"

She paused, then said loudly, "Although Divine Wrath is powerful, after studying it for a long time, I have finally found a way to break it."

"And that is—the Energy-Gathering Magic Formation."

A faint smile appeared on Natasha’s lips, her gaze burning bright.

"We only need to gather three hundred legendary-grade experts and use divine energy to combine our Strength. By burning our Immortal Singularities, we can condense a Divine Domain!"

The moment her words fell, the high platform erupted into commotion.

Divine Domain!

That was the symbol possessed only by supreme-grade experts.

The human race had once had supreme-grade experts before, and the ancient records stated it clearly—supreme-grade experts possessed Divine Domains.

If they truly could condense the power of three hundred legendary-grade experts and forge a Divine Domain, then perhaps they really could contend against Divine Wrath!

Immediately, an expert asked loudly, "Lady Natasha, that Divine Domain... what level can it reach?"

Divine Domains were also divided into different grades.

If it was only slightly stronger than a legendary-grade expert, then what use would it be?

Natasha’s gaze was like a torch as she spoke each word with absolute clarity.

"High supreme-grade."

Hiss—!

Sounds of people sucking in cold breaths rose one after another.

High supreme-grade!

That was already terrifyingly powerful.

The faces of the gathered experts revealed excitement and anticipation.

But immediately after, someone else asked, "How many Immortal Singularities need to be burned?"

Immortal Singularities were the foundation of legendary-grade experts.

Their quantity and quality determined everything.

Natasha fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Once the Energy-Gathering Magic Formation I have studied is activated, it cannot be stopped. The burning of Immortal Singularities will continue... until death."

Boom—!

The high platform instantly burst into an uproar.

This—this was sacrifice!

The sacrifice of three hundred legendary-grade experts’ lives!

No wonder it could condense a high-grade supreme-grade Divine Domain. So it was fueled by life itself.

The experts looked at one another, hesitation and fear flashing through their eyes.

Natasha clenched her teeth. Her voice trembled, but it remained firm.

"For the sake of this magic formation, for the sake of shattering the sharp sword hanging over humanity’s head, I am willing to offer up my own life."

Her voice was not loud, yet it struck a crack into the heart of every person present.

"All I ask—is that we destroy Divine Wrath!"

Her gaze was as firm as a boulder.

"In war, there must always be those who bleed. There must always be those who sacrifice. Then let it begin with me."

The instant her words fell, a bold and heroic voice exploded like thunder.

"Good! Count me in, Meller!"

A burly man suddenly rose to his feet.

His gaze swept across everyone present. His voice was like a great bell, shaking even the runes on the high platform until they trembled slightly.

"Perhaps some of you have not yet reached the peak. Perhaps for now, you have no intention of breaking through, and you still have a way out—I understand."

He sneered, and his voice abruptly rose.

"But one day, you will come to that threshold!"

"Even if it is not you yourself, it may be your own flesh and blood, your closest friend who has gone through life and death with you, or the student you poured your heart into teaching!"

"When they break through their shackles and are slain by a single strike from Divine Wrath, how will you face the blood scattering across the sky?"

His voice echoed in the wind.

"The God realm thinks that with a mere Sword of Divine Wrath, they can force our human race to crawl on the ground forever? Dream on!"

"Do not let the God realm look down on us, and do not let our descendants point at our tombstones and mock us!"

He glanced at Natasha and said loudly,

"Do not let future generations say that we grown men were not even as brave and fierce as a woman!"

Those words were like boiling oil poured into raging flames, instantly igniting the fire in the chest of everyone present.

"Count me in!"

Another expert stepped forward, his eyes reddened. "Our deaths today are so countless human descendants in the future can step onto the stairs of supreme-grade!"

"If we retreat in this battle, then in the future, those slain by Divine Wrath will be our children and grandchildren!"

"The sages once said—the people of today plant trees so the people of tomorrow may enjoy the shade. Are we going to disgrace the sacrifices of our ancestors?"

One expert after another stood up.

"Count me in! It’s only death!"

"I have lived long enough. If, at the very end, I can contribute a portion of Strength for the future of humanity, then this life has not been in vain."

"Count me in as well."

They knew that the moment they stood up, they were stepping onto a road of no return.

Their Immortal Singularities would be drained dry. Their flesh and blood would be devoured by the magic formation. Perhaps not even ashes would remain.

But they still stood up.

In this world, who did not fear death?

Of course they were afraid.

But there were always certain things more important than one’s own heartbeat, one’s own breathing, one’s own life.

Some lived for resources. Some lived for authority. Some lived for family.

And today, they chose their race!

To die for their race, to die for countless human descendants who had yet to be born...

It was worth it!

...

Upon the high platform, more than two-thirds of the experts suddenly rose to their feet.

Far more than three hundred.

The blood and spirit of humanity had never been extinguished!

As long as that spirit remained, the human race would never perish.

Natasha selected three hundred experts from among them and personally arranged the magic formation that carried all their hopes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Runes lit up one after another beneath her fingertips, like stars being ignited one by one in the night sky.

All that remained was to wait for Divine Wrath to descend.

Then they would ignite the Immortal Singularities of three hundred legendary-grade experts, condense the legendary Divine Domain, and fight a decisive battle against the sharp sword that had hung above humanity’s head for countless years.

Daniel witnessed all of this, silently clenching his fists.

This world was so unfair, so dark!

The strong ruled everything, arbitrarily judging and toying with the weak!

Strength was the only language that could travel freely through this world.

He had long since understood this truth, and so he had never stopped pursuing Strength.

To defeat everything—that was the deepest long-cherished wish buried in his heart.

He continued watching the situation on the platform.

Natasha nodded slightly toward a peak legendary-grade expert.

That expert wore a look of grim determination and released all of his aura with a boom.

His momentum climbed higher and higher, like an ancient sword slowly being drawn from its sheath, until it reached its peak.

At that very moment—

Buzz, buzz—

A low hum suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, like the growl of an ancient beast awakening in the abyss.

Whoosh!

A long sword shining with brilliant golden light suddenly descended, wrapped in an overwhelming, unmatched might!

Divine Wrath had arrived.

Natasha was just about to give the order to ignite their Immortal Singularities.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air before the long sword.

The aura radiating from that person was unparalleled, like an peerless blade being unsheathed.

Daniel had made his move!
