Chapter 1896: Chapter 1891: Choice

“This time, the world war will see no end of days….”

This was Lu Ping’an’s reflection in the second week of the war outbreak.

Declaring war was just the beginning, and several lords even waged war without any declaration.

And those who did declare war openly were generally the ones more concerned with their reputation…. In this world, the weaker do not need dignity and fame; only the powerful ethnic groups need reasons.

Lu Ping’an’s previous preparations and reserves were not mistaken at all.

Even with the defenses of the Silver Fortress, even with the Burning Legion in the ground volcano area, the first wave of battle was still hard-fought for Lu Ping’an.

Lu Ping’an was besieged by three beings suspected to be “True Gods,” even Chris paid with severe injuries… But as long as Lu Ping’an couldn’t be completely killed, it meant Chris wouldn’t truly step into death.

However, within the scope of the Silver Fortress, in Lu Ping’an’s Divine Kingdom, attempting to kill him and his demigods was too difficult.

“Eternal Life” is his divine position… This also implies extremely robust vitality, prolonged battle capability, and regeneration ability.

Fighting, consuming, resuscitating… before the life-points are exhausted, the losses on Lu Ping’an’s side can always be replenished, and even those powerful demigods find it hard to truly die.

The Guard Legion displayed astounding combat power here, becoming Lu Ping’an’s shield and protection, these powerful units capable of stirring “space” could participate at the top battlefield in this world.

The first wave was indeed a tough fight, but Lu Ping’an and his group gritted their teeth and carried on.

But bizarrely, after the first wave, Lu Ping’an’s side fell into a strange calm again… even as everything around was engulfed in flames of war.

“They found us hard to chew, so they went for the easier bites.”

The order chain painstakingly established was shattered again, and everyone was plunged into a war of suspicion.

Was it a conspiracy by the Foreign Domain invaders, led by spies mingling among us?

It is and is not….. With the development to this point, perhaps there was some guidance from the Foreign Domain, but even without them, it would have just come a little slower, a little gentler.

After the message of impending doomsday arrived and the local situation was verified to be relatively stable, most lords either engaged in war or started preparing for it.

They were seeking their own paths, trying to switch to new stances.

Now, it was just that those who should have pledged allegiance did so, those who needed to firm up their stance firmed up… once all sides completed their military buildup and realized further armament was nearly impossible, all that was needed was a “starting gun.”

A massive mushroom cloud tore through the dark clouds of this area, and even from a distance, Lu Ping’an could still feel the terrifying heat and power.

With the Eye of Truth opened, Lu Ping’an looked around to see battlefields everywhere.

Fear and unease were spreading, everyone was fighting for survivability, the “nightmare” aggravated everyone’s anxiety and insecurity, an absolute distrust cycle was established, killing or being killed no longer required rational decision.

The instinct to survive was all it took.

When the forest fire burned the entire forest, the animals within, no matter how manic and uneasy, could only unleash their survival instincts frantically.

“Life is slipping away…”

In Lu Ping’an’s outstretched hands, an illusory galaxy flowed, representing “the total amount of life.”

His divine position allowed him to sense the countless deaths and the vast disappearance of life in this area.

This is the Underworld, the Post-death World, and when the cycle of life and death is broken, this death will become eternal.

The world is howling, this consumption is Its essence, the foundation of Its countless years of accumulation.

It is calling for help, instinctively sending a distress signal to Its “children.”

“But no one pays attention to her, no one even cares about her…”

When a big ship is shot with a huge hole, leaking water frantically and about to sink, how could the passengers care about the ship’s thoughts as they either stand higher waiting for rescue, try to swim away, or simply seize others’ supplies to last longer… More realistically, some passengers have already jumped onto another ship, even though that ship is the very one that sank this one.

To save the world? Lacking that capability.

But Lu Ping’an and his group, what should they do? Should they also step onto this battlefield?

“Cannot escape… But is that all there is?”

As the God of Eternal Life, he felt severe discomfort towards this world-scale life consumption.

Both his power and his ideals found no favor in this burning world.

And judging by the intensity of the battle and the feedback from around, this war might continue until doomsday.

“Surrender requires a fellow’s head, as a Letter of Invitation….”

“Escapers require more supplies and power…”

“Resisters need to eliminate traitors who betrayed the world…”

“The aimlessly surviving ones instinctively seek the possibility of growing stronger and will try to evolve…”

In the dire straits, the trapped beasts bit at each other with no possibility of stopping.

But the most helpless and miserable are probably the “losers.”

The Beastmen seem destined for desperate doomsday, either dying in divine wars, or in skirmishes among themselves, or…

The sudden explosion shook all life forms.

This time, the world’s cracks spread furiously.

Was it the internal strife that weakened the defenses? Or was it always the invader’s plan, but regardless, the event has already transpired…..

Stone Giants as tall as mountains descended on the battlefield, and in just an instant, tore apart the contending “Deities.”

Strange tentacle demons crawled out from underground, dragging a so-called Divine Realm into the Abyss.

Cracks appeared across the earth, and frenzied Demons and other Otherworldly creatures emerged from them, most of which probably lay dormant here for long.

Outer Realm Evil Gods, those powerful and terrifying Outer Realm Evil Gods, successfully invaded this world.

The Divine Realm was shattered, the divine body torn, the wielded God Corpse ripped apart, and the Divine-Blood became a feast for the hungry Demons.

And this was not their main target.

On the damaged Divine Realm, beneath the feet of the Outer Gods, large tracts of land changed color as a new “Divine Realm” had already formed.

They were fusing and devouring the world.

And Lu Ping’an closed his eyes, able to hear the world’s lament, hear the division of the entire world.

“Existence, they are plundering existence…”

Plundering this world’s existence, merging it with themselves, incrementing the “God Above Gods” in totality.

Ordinary Deities enhance their own existence, seeking more resources and “investment” from the world.

Such Outer Gods of this level, however, turn the world into their “existence,” becoming a part of their limbs.

Before such monsters, before conventional existences worldwide, what could Lu Ping’an do?

He seemed to return to the Silent Mountain Range World, witnessing the sudden coming of the dark night and the World Apocalypse, those days of frantic fleeing.

But this time, it seemed a little different.

“Should something be done?”

Lu Ping’an was confused, although he always had a plan, albeit highly risky with high returns.

Perhaps, leaving now was a good idea.

But when he looked back, he saw the demigods, Chris, Little Flame, Eve….

“It’s different; I’m no longer a powerless weakling who can only escape… Initiate the Ark Plan.”
