Chapter 1209: Scars In The Earth

Second Dan Ascendant Verana led a group of fifteen Ascendants, four at the first Dan and the remaining eleven being normal Ascendants who were grateful to work beside an esteemed Second Dan Ascendant as they sought to close the pit of hell created by Shisu, the missing Third Dan Ascendant who must have gone crazy and unleashed a field of devastation that would scar the realm for an eternity.

The forbidden technique Shisu had unleashed had burned a featuring scar on the land, evaporating the ocean and leaving a hole of the Calamity gods below the earth to unleash their presence in the outside world unchecked.

Their presence was spreading corruption in the form of darkness that was infecting any living thing on the surface, turning them into raving Calamity beasts, spreading death to hundreds of continents, and this toll of death was increasing every day. Slowly but surely, this scar on the surface was tipping the balance between Ascendancy and Calamity on the lower realm.

With one Ascendant Sun fighting a war and the other not leaving the heavens, there was barely any light on the lower realms, and the cries of the suffering mortals reached the heavens itself, but no immortal cared.

The Calamity Gods that should have fled deep into the earth after a short time on the surface could now collectively fight against the light of the Ascendant Sun and withstand its destructive light before the Calamity Suns would rise again to strengthen them.

These sixteen Ascendants had been tasked to cover up the scar in the earth, forcing the Calamity gods to retreat, thereby giving the ocean a chance to cover up the area and slowly heal it from the corruption that had taken hold here.

In the beginning, Ascendant Verana thought that this task would be grueling but still achievable, although rare that such devastating techniques were unleashed on the lower realms, it had still happened in the past a number of times, and those scars were healed with a careful administration.

The scale of Shisu's technique was expansive, but many Ascendant battles on the surface usually led to scars on the earth, before now, the Calamity gods below would not dream of staying on the surface for a long time because the scorching rays of the Ascendant Sun would drive them below, and so the earth even without intervention would heal and the ocean would sweep over it, but now the light was failing and they could no longer leave this scar to heal by itself, the rot had become too deep, and the natural state of things had become upended.

Ascendant Verana remembered the precise moment he and his group stood above the massive crater that was filled with darkness. He had been struck with the incredulity of this moment, he heard of this task and had collected it without much thought, knowing that it would be difficult but was a necessary assignment, and he would not have trusted anyone else to perform it.

However, standing over a crater that stretched for almost a million miles, all of which was filled with the miasma of death and madness that the magnitude of Shisu's folly, a fellow Ascendant with the same rank as him really sank into his consciousness.

This world could no longer heal, and yet the Ascendants seemed not to have come to this despairing realization as they waged war on the surface or hid in the heavens, all of them trying not to see that their very foundations were being eroded under their feet.

Ascendant Verana chose at this time to begin making the changes that he could, and when he was done here, he would petition both Ascendant Suns and show them the tragedy being unveiled underneath their noses, even if such a thing led to his eventual demise by their hands. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
