The purple energy balls were falling down slowly from above. It was as if a stage on the Other Shore was sluggishly crumbling after it collapsed.
As the Primeval Lord of Heaven saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand and flicked two golden rings towards Fuxi and Gonggong. The rings that emitted golden lights darted and stopped above their heads.
"You three, leave now while there's still time…" the Primeval Lord of Heaven said in a soft voice.
The Snake Goddess had a Descending Ring with her, so she could descend to the primitive land any time.
"Then, what about you?" the Snake Goddess asked as she raised her eyebrows.
"It makes no difference whether I leave or not." the Primeval Lord of Heaven replied with a bitter smile on his face.
He clearly knew that everything and everyone was going to be destroyed eventually. There was no point in prolonging the suffering and needless struggles.
However, deep inside him, all of his frustrations were built up. He couldn't accept that everything was just going to end this way.
Everyone knew how difficult it was for him to reach this certain step. However, he had failed in the last one, and now, he felt very much dead inside.
Among them, Gonggong was the first one who activated the Descending Ring. After the ring emitted luminous lights, his body trembled, but his body still stayed right where he was.
"What's going on? I can't leave?" Gonggong's voice trembled as he realized this. Among the human heroes, he had always been the most careful and cautious one. He was relatively afraid of death.
Fuxi was kind of surprised when he saw what happened to Gonggong, so he also activated the Descending Ring given to him.
However, just as what happened to Gonggong, he also failed to leave.
Then, the Snake Goddess gave it a try, but the result was just the same.
A bitter and helpless smile appeared on her face as she looked at Zen in the distance. "If we can't leave the Other Shore, then I'm afraid that it's also the same for Zen… "
At the same moment, Zen was also quietly looking at the sky. His expression was as calm as ever.
He had just tried to recite the Illusion Breaking Rune to leave the Jade Pure Realm, but it didn't have any effect. It was as if he had been showered with the Soul Interdicting Water, making it impossible to leave the Other Shore.
"Will the primitive land also collapse if I die?" Zen asked the ancestry-level bloodline with a hint of hesitation.
"Yes," the ancestry-level bloodline replied briefly.
Although the current primitive land was built with the aid of the ancestry-level bloodline, Zen was still its owner, making him indispensable to it.
"What about you? What will happen to you after?" Zen asked again.
"Me? I will have no choice but to leave the primitive land," the ancestry-level bloodline answered.
"I see. Can you please take care of my family for me?" Zen asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"Sure. I will."
Actually, the result would still be the same whether the ancestry-level bloodline took care of them or not. Even Zen knew this.
The downgrade had already begun. It meant that the entire chaos would soon be under the control of the humanoid creature.
At the same time, Zen remembered his loved ones—Dorothy, Letitia, Margaret, Lavender...
Their beautiful faces appeared in front of Zen as if he was hallucinating.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a deep sense of regret.
From the moment he knew them, his life turned out like a chess piece that was being constantly pushed, running around all the time. From the Eastern Region to the universe, from the divine land to the Source World, he was restlessly going here and there. He rarely paused and took the time to be with the most important people in his life.
If he had only known that this would be the ending, he thought that he would have rather chosen to be a mere mortal and spend the rest of his life with them in peace.
It didn't matter what mission he had to accomplish, nor would he care about the end of the chaos or the downgrade.
Then, suddenly, he remembered Geoffrey.
He and Ziya were still in the main world at this time.
"If the humanoid creature completes the downgrade, what will happen to Geoffrey and Ziya who stay in the main world?" Zen asked out of nowhere.
"They will also die," the ancestry-level bloodline answered with all honesty.
Zen couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing this.
Right now, the purple energy balls that were falling were already getting closer and closer to them. Ten thousand feet, a thousand feet, five hundred feet…
Boom!
The altar in the distance was the first one to be eroded by the purple energy balls.
Before Fuxi got erased by the purple energy balls, he waved at Zen.
"Goodbye, Zen…"
The Snake Goddess just knelt on the ground and closed her captivating eyes.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven just stood still as he awaited his impending doom.
On the other hand, Gonggong continued to struggle. He turned into a pool of water and flowed down from the altar, seeping into the ground.
Several others were also unwilling to give up and desperately climbed down from the altar, trying to buy themselves a few more minutes or seconds to survive. At the same time, many people just stayed where they were and waited for what was going to happen.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The purple energy balls had finally reached the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven. They all quickly melted and disappeared without a trace within the energy balls.
