Chapter 1 The First Star Pillar looked at the Seventh Star Pillar in surprise. He clearly hadn't expected the Seventh Star Pillar to still have the strength to sneak attack him!
However, before the First Star Pillar could ponder, the Seventh Star Pillar immediately released a large amount of dark power, completely engulfing the First Star Pillar, preparing to extract all of the First Star Pillar's strength and completely obliterate him!
"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother! This First Star Pillar wants to kill us. We've already crossed the line. Let's kill the First Star Pillar first! Even if the Lord of the Upper Realm blames us, I will bear all the responsibility!"
While suppressing the First Star Pillar's severed body, the Seventh Star Pillar shouted to the Fifth and Sixth Star Pillars, requesting their assistance!
The Fifth and Sixth Star Pillars also knew that they had completely fallen out with the First Star Pillar by helping the Seventh Star Pillar cheat. If the First Star Pillar were to continue living, their future days would surely not be easy!
Therefore, after the Seventh Star Pillar spoke, they didn't think much of it and directly released their dark power to engulf the First Star Pillar, attempting to erase him directly!
"You... you have such great courage!"
The First Star Pillar's voice, filled with rage, echoed from the black mist. Then, an exceptionally powerful force broke through the Seventh Star Pillar's封禁 and flew towards the sky.
A demonic face materialized in the sky, roaring at the Seventh Star Pillar, "You truly don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish. All of you shall die!"
At this moment, the First Star Pillar harbored murderous intent and directly joined forces with the Second and Fourth Star Pillars, who had reacted, to attack the Seventh Star Pillar.
The Seventh Star Pillar was not to be outdone. The three of them joined forces and engaged in a fierce battle with the First Star Pillar's trio. The violent dark power surged within the Ye Ling barrier, even shattering the space-time within the barrier into nothingness!
Ye Ling, who had instigated the conflict, had already retreated to the edge of the barrier, watching the battle among the Seven Star Pillars with increasing amusement in his eyes.
"Are these guys all single-celled organisms? I just provoked them a little, and they started fighting amongst themselves."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "There were already conflicts among the Seven Star Pillars, and each of them is extremely selfish. Furthermore, they all mistook you for the Eighth Star Pillar, leading them to believe there were no outsiders present. It's not surprising that they exposed their true natures."
"Judging by how things are developing today, I estimate several of the Seven Star Pillars will die, and the Lord of the Upper Realm will definitely react. What will you do then, kid?"
Ye Ling looked at the Third Star Pillar, who was also watching from the sidelines, and chuckled, "Today, due to mutual slaughter, six of the Seven Star Pillars will perish, leaving only the heavily injured Third Star Pillar alive... and the Eighth Star Pillar will never have existed."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the World-Ending Spirit Fire replied, "If I understand you correctly, you plan to kill all of the Seven Star Pillars except the Third Star Pillar, and then alter the Third Star Pillar's memories?"
"Kid, let me tell you, the Lord of the Upper Realm is not easily fooled. Once you tamper with the Third Star Pillar's soul, no matter how skilled your methods are, the Lord of the Upper Realm will surely see through it at a glance!"
Ye Ling smiled, "Who said I was going to alter the Third Star Pillar's memories?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned, "Then how will you erase your existence?"
Ye Ling said, "Didn't I just say it? The Seven Star Pillars were in internal strife, and the Third Star Pillar must have participated. Moreover, this battle was extremely fierce, and the Third Star Pillar was also heavily injured."
"When the other six are all annihilated, the Third Star Pillar will only have a wisp of consciousness-less remnant soul, and the memories retained will only be fragmented. Wouldn't that be strange?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pondered, "If that's the case... the Lord of the Upper Realm retrieves the Third Star Pillar's remnant soul, and even if he resurrects the Third Star Pillar, it will be a completely new consciousness. Then the memories the Lord of the Upper Realm obtains will definitely not be comprehensive... This might work..."
"But I still don't understand. Why don't you just eliminate all seven Star Pillars? Even if we do everything flawlessly, the Lord of the Upper Realm might still find some clues."
Ye Ling said, "I just don't want the Lord of the Upper Realm to think that my threat has increased... I've thought carefully. If I were to annihilate all seven Star Pillars myself, the Lord of the Upper Realm would only send stronger individuals, or even descend himself. We are not yet qualified to confront the Lord of the Upper Realm. If he considers us a scourge that must be eliminated, then we'll be done for, won't we?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire, however, was unconcerned and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if the Lord of the Upper Realm wants to kill you himself, he has to get past Good and Evil. It's highly unlikely he'll come to kill you personally... I estimate that the Seven Star Pillars are already the limit of what he can send to the Chaos Battlefield."
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "I don't like putting my fate in the hands of others. Granted... Good and Evil, the two supreme powerhouses, have the ability to protect us and this world, but that doesn't mean they will never make mistakes."
"If they make a small mistake, perhaps the reshaping of the world will allow them to choose a new chosen one and start over. But for us, that small mistake would be a catastrophe!"
"In the game of supreme powerhouses, we don't have the right to reload and try again."
"Kid, you..."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire stared at Ye Ling in a daze, not expecting to hear such words from Ye Ling.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire thought carefully. After he pledged allegiance to Ye Ling, he had placed too much trust in the abilities of Good and Evil, believing that the Lord of the Upper Realm could not break through the defenses of Good and Evil to harm them. Therefore, he had never considered the consequences of directly facing the Lord of the Upper Realm.
But upon closer inspection, even the two supreme powerhouses, Good and Evil, could make mistakes. Otherwise, the Chaos Battlefield would not have destroyed the Nine Heavens Realm, and the main timeline would not have experienced cycles upon cycles.
Even with the immense calculating power of Good and Evil, if the probability of them making a mistake was one in a billion, or one in ten billion... but once a mistake truly occurred, the probability of disaster striking would be one hundred percent!
Thinking of this, the World-Ending Spirit Fire said to Ye Ling, "Kid... I think you're right. We can't always be under the protection of Good and Evil. We must always consider the worst-case scenario!"
"Exactly," Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. "So... I've always been considering what we should do if the Lord of the Upper Realm descends upon the Nine Heavens Realm after the Seven Star Pillars are annihilated."
"Leaving the remnant soul of the Third Star Pillar behind will give us ample time!"
As Ye Ling finished speaking, the World-Ending Spirit Fire felt his heart surge with excitement and laughed heartily, "Good! You've got guts, kid, already thinking about confronting the Lord of the Upper Realm. Even if it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, I'll charge with you!"
