Chapter 1410: Chapter 1347: The World’s Own Son?_2 Chapter 1410: Chapter 1347: The World’s Own Son?_2 “If even the worshiper that it took God so much effort to nurture cannot handle this, then what use are these souls to Him?”

“Since you’ve put it that way, I’d be disrespecting you if I didn’t bring out something real.”

Muria took a step forward, lightly treading across the space. His figure disappeared from the Sun God’s view, but in the next instant, a hand clad in black and gold armor, large enough to obscure the Sky Dome, appeared and reached for the Sun God.

Such a scene, reflected in the eyes of the myriad creatures on the earth, was extremely terrifying. From their perspective, it was as if an unknown demon was trying to pluck the sun from the sky.

Although the second sun that appeared made them uncomfortable and even brought endless disaster to the earth, the sun had always been a symbol of hope and light. In contrast, that ghostly hand seemed ominous.

Clang!

A grand clashing sound resonated between heaven and earth as the Sun God, with composure, grasped his scepter and gently stabbed it towards the top of his head.

He had experienced countless such scenes in his memory. The status of deities was mostly confirmed through combat, and as an ancient deity, he was no exception.

However, this time was somewhat different from what he had anticipated. The expected result of his thrust, which he thought was enough to deflect or even pierce through the hand, did not occur.

The Sun God only felt an unbelievably vast force transmitted from his scepter, like landslides and tsunamis, leaving no extra time for him to react. This utterly unexpected power tore through the flesh of his palm.

Droplets of divine blood, tinged with golden flames, sprinkled in the air. Just as these few drops of divine blood were about to be drawn down by the earth’s gravity, the Divine Bird cried out, and the Ferocious Beasts roared. Before the blood could fall, it transformed into several Exotic Beasts wreathed in Sun God Flame.

These newly molded beasts howled and then charged at the very cause of their existence in this world.

Following them, the Sun God, whose wounds had nearly healed in an instant, now filled with anger, swung his scepter at Muria.

“Truly an Ancient God.”

Seeing the Sun God temporarily create a few spirited divine animals with just a few drops of his own blood, Muria’s eyes instantly deepened with an even more profound gaze.

Ordinary faith deities, no matter how strong their bodies, did not possess such miraculous abilities. Moreover, faith deities generally would not use their own true bodies as regular combat forces.

Crackling!

Radiant to the point of dazzling, golden arcs sparkled on Muria’s body, and then the hissing of Dragon Snakes risen from beside him. Thousands of lightning arcs interweaved upon Muria’s body, and seven kilometer-long Golden Dragons and Snakes roared, riding the wind to meet the divine beasts fashioned from the Sun God’s divine blood.

Clang!

Another resounding clash shook the Sky Dome. Facing the attack of the Sun God, Muria drew out the Prison-suppression halberd and met the force head-on; even as a god, he was confident his physique was not inferior to any other existence of the same level.

“Really impressive, worthy of being a successor capable of replacing the sovereign!”

The exchange between the Sun God and the newly ascended Death Lord drew the gaze of countless beings. However, only those few beings on par with the Sun God were qualified to watch the battle up close.

And those who witnessed this supreme divine battle couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, for such a contest, which was supposed to happen only among them.

“Such a physique can no longer be explained by talent alone. Undoubtedly, this Death Lord must have an origin similar to ours.”

“I think so too. Who else could engage in close combat with the Sun God except for us, those born from primordial existence?”

The deity wielding the Solar Divine Authority and the deity controlling death clashed in the midst of the Sky Dome. Golden Sun God’s Fire and the ashen Death Qi occupied opposite sides of the dome.

But these two beings, whose mere residual waves could easily spread to the entire world, did not clash with the Divine power they wielded. Instead, they engaged in the most primitive close combat.

This scene astonished the onlooking beings, as contending in such a manner against such ancient deities was an impossible task for any faith deity.

“But, I cannot find any trace of this Death Lord’s existence in my memory.”

“Neither can I.”

“If none of us has any memory of Him, then it implies that this lord isn’t born from the primordial, which is quite interesting.”

“Impossible. We’ve already proven that no mortal thing, no matter how hard it strives, can achieve a physique like ours. The starting environments are too different; we were far ahead from the beginning.”

“One thing we can be sure of is that the birth of this Death Lord occurred after that war, when the world crumbled. During that time, nothing that happened would be surprising.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing much.” The deity who proposed the hypothesis replied indifferently.

“You mean, the world has shaped a being with a foundation as strong as ours but with greater potential?”

“I did not say that. That’s your interpretation.”

“How could that be possible? It’s absurd!” A deity commented sotto voce, unwilling to accept this terrifying fact.

“But when you think about it, it makes sense. In that battle, we were defeated. It is only normal that the world no longer places hope in us.

After all, the Mother of All Things has not yet departed; she is still there, a fact that exists whether you all are willing to acknowledge it or not. Sooner or later, we will have to face it.”

“So according to your speculation, this Death Lord is a being nurtured by the world to lead us against the Mother of All Things?”

“It’s quite possible, there isn’t an absence of such probability. After all, He can still wield the Solar Divine Authority. Once He replaces the Sun God, then a God King, never before seen in our world, will be born.”

“Utterly preposterous, without foundation. Merely because He can engage in close combat with the Sun God, you’ve reached such a conclusion. Extrapolating from that, are you all prepared to bow in submission to this lord?”

“Speculation, after all, demands imaginative flights of fancy to approach the realm of possibility.”

“To be honest, I don’t want to submit to any being. I have grown accustomed to reigning supreme.”
