Chapter 1460: Chapter 1417 Heavenly Punishment Descends Chapter 1460: Chapter 1417 Heavenly Punishment Descends In distant ages long past, powerful beings from the Void invaded the world, and the disunited gods of the time, facing the erosion from the Void, were defeated at every turn, completely outmatched.

Consequently, the erosion of the world instinctively made the World Will feel the crisis of annihilation. Thus, the Great World Will gained self-awareness and then shattered the world, temporarily halting the erosion by the Mother of All Things, but at a grave cost.

The world also has a memory, always remembering everything that happened within it. Therefore, it harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Mother of All Things, who inflicted such terrible damage and posed a serious threat to its existence.

Thus, when Muria harbored the intention to kill, the Great World Will responded instantly—a being capable of defeating, even killing the Mother of All Things truly had been awaited for too long, becoming somewhat impatient.

…

The sky was clear, and the sunlight was warm.

The brilliant golden sunlight should have equally bathed all creatures on the earth, nourishing every being. However, a massive, imposing Divine Tree, vast enough to be described as colossal, rudely and arrogantly intercepted all the light that should have fallen on the earth.

The huge and dense Tree Crown replaced the sky in the eyes of all spirits, weaving into a green-sky vault. The green light it cast down replaced the sunlight, nourishing all things, and then turned them into its vassals.

“What an overbearing and domineering Divine Tree, using itself as the core to construct a unique ecosystem. In a way, this manner of existence could be considered a special world.”

A nearly unheard exclamation sounded, from a creature with a specific purpose sneaking under the Divine Tree-woven green-sky vault, looking at the unprecedented scene before it and involuntarily sighing.

Ssshh~

A sound that could make the scalp tingle of certain creatures and trigger specific physiological reactions—the sound of a multi-legged crustacean creature crawling—resounded, followed by a pair of pale golden eyes looking over.

Then, she saw a giant insect with a special shell woven from vines, an Extraordinary Being with a strong plant-like essence. Its nearly twenty meters long body was quite imposing, but in her eyes, it was no different from an ordinary insect to mortals.

However, being a Divine Descendant with divinity within her, she could see more, such as the giant insect before her, mimicking the foraging and hunting behavior of insects in the wild—it wasn’t a real creature but a special plant with an insect’s outward form, capable of moving in the shape of an insect.

The realization sent a chill through the Divine Descendant, as she associated it with many things. Through autonomic evolution, plants could never possibly evolve such forms.

Thus, it must be under the influence, intentional or not, of some great being that such bizarre plants were born, and the emergence of such plants likely signifies the extinction of a species.

“Evil!”

Feeling an inexplicable fear, the Divine Descendant continued advancing under the green-sky vault. She saw more and understood more about this unique ecosystem centered on the Divine Tree.

Within this unique ecological chain, the mid to lower tier small animals, as well as insects, were essentially replaced by plants. They still retained souls, still maintained their original forms, but their shells had completely turned into plants.

Moreover, this evolution had not stopped and was still ongoing. The creatures at the top of the ecological chain still retained the blood fluctuations characteristic of flesh creatures.

What truly frightened the Divine Descendant was that no matter how powerful a creature was, if it existed under the green vault, part of its body was inevitably parasitized, or replaced.

“Praise be to the God King!”

Following the commands of the Divine Court, the Divine Descendant who had come to perform the mission now praised wholeheartedly. Born after the shattering of the world, she initially had no special feelings towards the World’s Enemy, the Mother of All Things, defined by the Divine Court—even though she knew the entity was terrifying, she harbored no feelings of hostility or hatred.

But now, as she arrived in the domain eroded by the Mother of All Things and witnessed certain things, her original views were completely changed.

If the Mother of All Things had succeeded in eroding the world, she might have survived the war by sheer luck, but would slowly turn into a plant similar to those in front of her under the influence of the Mother. The mere thought of it was terrifying.

“Praise be to the great God King! May the evil Mother of All Things fall into eternal sleep!”

The Divine Descendant who had witnessed the scenes of the eroded domain prayed from the bottom of her heart, when suddenly the monster’s roars came from all directions as if a powerful being entering another world would indeed provoke a strong rejection.

The stealthy Divine Descendant did not observe for long before being discovered, because her existence and power clashed with everything around her, like a campfire at night, where even the utmost effort to conceal it would allow some light to escape.

“You have discovered me too late.”

Carrying a hint of disdain, a low whisper resonated in the world covered by greenish light, then a golden Sword Qi completely different from the mainstream colors of the world flew out, shattering the several encroaching monsters.

“Await Apocalyptic Destruction!”

Space rippled like a calm lake disturbed by a huge stone, and the Divine Descendant, having completed her mission, began to sink into it, about to disappear.

But before she could completely vanish, a green claw wrapped in green vines shattered the space and reached for the fading Divine Descendant.

Crackling—
In an instant, the golden Arc Light that made the world silent and all spirits mute flashed through the sky under the green Sky Dome, leaving behind a twisted, eerie void, the trace of the recent Thunder’s brilliance.

“Roar!”

A soul-deep scream of agony rose under the green Sky Dome, but before the owner of this cry could say anything further, a Heavenly Punishment indistinguishable from world extermination descended!

Rumble!

As if the sky was cracking and the world was ending, a roaring sound came from a great distance. Then, everything trembled, the green Sky Dome began to sway, and then shattering golden arcs spread from the cracks, annihilating everything they touched.

Heavenly Punishment!

This was true Heavenly Punishment. Holding the temporary powers of the world’s Authority, the God King, upon determining the coordinates of a domain eroded by the Mother of All Things, did not hesitate to throw down His Long Spear, destroying and purifying everything.
