For tens of thousands of miles, the sun shone down, dispelling the once dark place. However, there were no living creatures under the sun in this area. The Feather tribe was gone; the Three-headed tribe was gone; the Void Chest tribe was gone. Mountains, rivers, ancient trees, and even weeds were destroyed in just an instant.

Lu Zhou looked at the sky in a daze. Sometimes, he doubted his choice. Was this the result he wanted? Was it truly the inevitable outcome of the passing of time? He had always thought he could watch indifferently as living things died and civilizations fell. Now that the end had come, he lowered his head and muttered, "Is it worth it?"

…

Far away from the Great Abyss Land, Si Wuya, Little Yuan'er, and Conch looked at the sun in the distant sky in a trance. However, they could only vaguely see the miracle seen from afar. Nonetheless, it was still a shocking scene.

Although it was not as much as before, rocks were still falling from the sky.

The commotion finally pulled the trio back to their senses.

Si Wuya said with a hint of disbelief, "The piece of Great Void above the Great Abyss Land fell ahead of time. The pillar couldn't hold on. Everything happened too fast…"

Little Yuan'er seemed very sensitive to changes after comprehending the Great Dao. She asked, "Seventh Senior Brother, is, is everyone dead?"

Even after so many years, Little Yuan'er still could not get used to deaths.

"They're all dead," Si Wuya answered truthfully.

Conch sighed. "Why won't they leave?"

Si Wuya said, "Everyone has their own reasons. The Feather tribe has lived in the Great Abyss Land for 100,000 years. How could they leave so easily? It was a tribe from ancient times, and it was able to survive for so long due to the power of the abyss in the Great Abyss Land. Leaving also means death… But staying is death with no hope of survival. No matter how slim the chances, we have to do our best to survive."

Si Wuya sighed before he said again, "There's no road to peace that's not paved with blood, bones, and tears. Emperor Yu… is worthy of respect…"

Little Yuan'er and Conch nodded.

Rumbling noises rang in the air, reminding them that the Great Void had already begun to fall.

Si Wuya composed himself. He did not have time to think about the dazzling and moving scene of countless avatars holding up the piece of sky. He quickly ignited a few talismans, informing his fellow disciples to leave the Great Void.

Si Wuya contacted Mingshi Yin, who had returned to the Great Void, last.

As soon as the projection appeared, a lazy voice could be heard.

"Who is it? It's so annoying. It's been shaking the entire day. You're disturbing my sleep."

Si Wuya: "..."

Little Yuan'er took the initiative to say, "Fourth Senior Brother, the sky has already fallen, and yet, you're still sleeping? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"What?! The sky has fallen?!" Mingshi Yin shuddered and rose to his feet, looking around.

The trio was speechless.

After a moment, Si Wuya said, "Time is limited. The others have left or are leaving the Great Void, but you've yet to comprehend the Great Dao. The speed of the collapse is faster than I've calculated. You have to go as soon as possible."

Mingshi Yin realized the gravity of the situation. He said, "It's so bad? Then, I'll set off immediately!"

As soon as Mingshi Yin's voice fell, he felt the ground tremble slightly on his side.

For the Great Void, it was the ground that was collapsing; for the Unknown Land, it was the sky that was collapsing. Now that the strongest Pillar of Destruction had fallen, the other pillars would swiftly follow suit.

Little Yuan'er asked curiously, "Fourth Senior Brother, where exactly are you now?"

Mingshi Yin looked around and said, "I don't know either. In any case, it's not far from Qiang Yu Hall."

Si Wuya said, "The upper core might shatter any time. You have to hurry to Qiang Yu Hall."

Mingshi Yin nodded. "I'll go now."

With that, the projection was cut off.

Si Wuya rose to his feet and said, "We have to go. This is the most unsafe place now."

Little Yuan'er and Conch nodded.

The trio looked like shooting stars as they flew in the sky toward the nearest runic passage.

Halfway through their journey, Si Wuya frowned slightly and said, "Junior sisters, you've both comprehended the Great Dao. Do you feel that the Primal Qi here has changed slightly?"

"I can feel it. It's thinner than when we arrived. The laws from the Great Dao seem to be weakening here," Conch replied.

"Heaven and earth gave birth to the Great Void Seeds. Now that the sky is falling, and the earth is splitting, I'm afraid the runic passages can no longer be used," Si Wuya said, feeling like something was not right. He brought talismans again to remind his disciples again and again to be careful before he finally relaxed and flew at full speed.

…

Meanwhile, the three divine emperors had long recovered from their shock. They flew back to the Great Abyss Land and looked at the sky.

Bai Zhaoju and Ling Weiyang were deeply moved. The earth had finally returned to the way it was 100,000 years ago.

They flew over to Lu Zhou, who was hovering high up in the sky.

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Zhou turned around to look at the three divine emperors.

Bai Zhaoju said with a smile, "You're the first person to have two avatars since the dawn of time! Impressive, truly impressive!"

Ling Weiyang chimed in, "After this, everyone will hear about the Unholy One's invincibility once again."

"Who would not be convinced with such a display of power?"

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "There's one more person."

Everyone knew who Lu Zhou was referring to, and they only nodded to each other.

Lin Weiyang looked at the ruins on the ground and said, "I didn't expect the Feather tribe to be so bold."

Bai Zhaoju sighed. "They're still gone in the end."

At this moment, a streak of light shot over.

When it drew closer, everyone had a clear look at the incoming person.

"Chi Biaonu?"

Chi Biaonu was in a sorry state. When he looked at the sun and the ruins on the ground, he asked in shock and disbelief, "What happened?"

"You didn't see it?"

"I rushed back because I heard and felt the commotion. I only vaguely saw it. That Chang Cheng was really too cunning! It took me a long time to subdue and kill it!" Chi Biaonu said.

"It's good that you killed it. The Great Abyss Land's Pillar of Destruction has collapsed; a piece of the Great Void has fallen. It won't be long before it falls completely."

Chi Biaonu turned to look at Lu Zhou. Surprise flashed in his eyes as he said, "The one who held up the sky was… was… the…"

The words 'Unholy One' was stuck in Chi Biaonu's throat.

Lu Zhou said calmly, "It was the entire Feather tribe…"

Chi Biaonu was shocked. He looked down and saw broken wings, corpses, blood, and severed limbs between the cracks. One could imagine how terrible the battle was.

Chi Biaonu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Although they were all divine emperors who ruled many people and controlled their life and death, they were still powerless when faced with the fall of the sky. The world was truly unpredictable. Who would have thought that the glorious Feather tribe would be completely annihilated in just an instant?

Lu Zhou asked, "Are all of you busy?"

Bai Zhaoju replied, "Brother Lu, I have plenty of time to talk to you."

The other three divine emperors nodded as well.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Now's not the time for talking. The collapse of the Great Abyss Land's Pillar of Destruction will definitely force cultivators and fierce beasts to attack the nine domains. Can you bear to watch humankind suffer this disaster?"

"..."

The four divine emperors understood. In other words, Lu Zhou needed manpower.

"Of course, we'll do what we can to mitigate the disaster."

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "I'll return to the golden lotus domain. I'll leave the eight domains."

With that, Lu Zhou flashed and disappeared into the horizon.

"Brother, Brother Lu?!" Bai Zhaoju could no longer see Lu Zhou as soon as his voice fell.

Ling Weiyang, Chi Biaonu, and Shang Zhang: "..."

"How are the four of us going to protect eight domains?"

Although they were divine emperors, they were not without their limits.

Finally, Bai Zhaoju said, "Let's pick four of the weakest ones. The Unholy One's disciples are outstanding and not to be trifled with. I'll speak to Qi Sheng after this and see what he thinks."

The others nodded.

…

With the fall of Zhao Yang Hall, unprecedented panic descended on the people of the Great Void.

When Mingshi Yin arrived at Qiang Yu Hall, he saw cultivators carrying their luggage flying toward the nearest runic passage. They were like disaster victims fleeing for their lives.

"It's so exaggerated?"

Mingshi Yin continued to fly. The number of cultivators he saw fleeing did not decrease.

The city was in chaos. Many trading halls and businesses had long been emptied and closed. The streets were desolate.

When Mingshi Yin arrived near the upper core, he discovered that it was unguarded.

"Heh! They're not even giving me a chance to fight! Boring, very boring!" Mingshi Yin muttered to himself before he rushed toward the upper core.

When he drew closer and had a good look at the upper core, he saw the cracks and the dim and lifeless entrance.

"..."

Mingshi Yin hurried to the entrance. He looked at the entrance suspiciously as he muttered, "Don't fall just yet, don't fall just yet…"
