It had been a small fight within the Land of Consciousness.
Anyone at the Holy Soul Realm could deal with the Evil God, and the black snake here without any difficulty.
However, because the Land of Consciousness was different, any powerful figures could not enter it. Even formidable beings such as the Evil God and the black snake could not unleash their full soul force within the land.
The fight had caused great disaster in the Source World though.
When the Evil God and the little black snake had contaminated the consciousness of the Source World, many dramatic changes began to take place in the provinces.
When the creatures began to fight using their powerful minds, the consciousness of the Source World quickly fell into great chaos and disorder.
Booming crashes echoed harshly.
The crystal walls surrounding the Grey Fish Province shattered into pieces, and its fragments scattered in all directions. The jagged pieces rained down on the provinces nearby, wounding and piercing through countless creatures.
The oceans of the Wood Province surged and rolled, the water evaporating to form a thick vapor that smothered the entire province.
Within the Ice Province the ground had cracked to divide the land into many parts.
Numerous kinds of strange phenomena were taking place all over the provinces. As a result, countless inhabitants in those places were either injured or dead.
It was fortunate then that the phenomena did not last long.
It had taken eight hours, but the Source World finally returned to a peaceful state.
The Land of Consciousness though was in a mess.
Despite the fact that the little black snake was a part of the Snake Spirit King's soul, his time within the Land of Consciousness was too short compared to that of the Evil God.
Nearly half of the Source World's consciousness had been corrupted by the Evil God, while the black snake had only been able to pollute a small portion of it.
The black snake might have been far stronger than the Evil God, but he still fell at the hand of the latter.
The only reason the Evil God had won was his strategy to use the Source World's own consciousness against the snake.
Lost in thought, the Evil God stared down at the dead snake as he contemplated devouring his soul for his power.
He of course had the ability to absorb souls, so it shouldn't pose an issue.
After another moment of short consideration, the Evil God controlled his greed and decided against it.
The little black snake was too mysterious, too much of an unknown. There was really no telling what would happen if he devoured his soul.
It was much too risky to take the chance.
So he picked up the snake and tossed him over his shoulder to disappear in the Land of Consciousness.
An ear-splitting roar suddenly split the sky. It came from the Heavenly Square City of the Jade Pure Realm.
Cornelius was going ballistic.
The Snake Spirit King's body lay across the whole city, but he always tried to remain unseen within the city.
He entrusted most of his affairs to the Snake Masters. Majority of the creatures within the city didn't know of his existence.
The roar had caused some sections of the space to collapse, forming large, jagged cracks. From the cracks crawled numerous Treacherous Beings and creatures from the Other Shore.
As they all looked up to the sky, a monstrous snake head was glaring down at them.
Cornelius hissed sharply at them, commanding their attention.
Fury was evident in his eyes. A slimy, forked tongue flicked from his mouth, and his crescent-shaped eyes glinted with dark golden light.
The human spirits of the Joy, Broad and Black Houses walked out of the Heavenly Square City and stared blankly up at the Snake Spirit King.
"What has the Snake Spirit King so angry?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen him throw a tantrum..."
