Chapter 819: Light Miracle

Soon, Lord Youshan listened to their plan and felt they were incredibly audacious. The more he listened, the more horrified he became; it was an utterly earth-shattering scheme.

Lord Youshan, himself a radical, couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "You want to snatch a share from those beings, and also join them in destroying all life? ... You intend to use the destruction of this civilization to secretly implement your planned blueprint and establish a new universe—the All-Seeing Eye of Radiance?"

After all, the energy contained within this entire micro-universe era was immense.

The three forbidden beings, after gathering enough energy to break through to the complete ninth-tier, would still have an enormous surplus.

But would they stop once they had collected enough energy to reach the ninth-tier?

That was impossible!

Who would ever have too much energy?

Once they acted, the entire era would be annihilated.

With sufficient energy collected, whoever first achieved a complete true ninth-tier breakthrough would secure victory and could directly subdue the other two beings, forcing them into submission!

At this moment, attempting to snatch a share from them was akin to taking food from a tiger's mouth.

One player stated, "The destruction of the epoch is unstoppable; it's the prevailing trend of the era. Even Caroline knew this, which is why she joined the ranks of destruction. We can only join as well... To put it nicely, we will use the vast energy from the destruction of this universe to seize the opportunity to lay the cornerstone for a new civilization. For this epochal cataclysm, we will save some of the living beings in this universe, establish a cosmic Taoist palace, an ark, and, to the best of our ability, soar through the world-ending disaster... To put it bluntly, we are also partaking in the benefits of this era's destruction. Rather than letting those forbidden beings cause a great annihilation, we might as well take a share of the destruction's spoils."

Lord Youshan listened and felt that these people were even bolder than he was!

"Audacious" wasn't even strong enough to describe them. This wasn't just scratching the surface of the three ninth-tier forbidden beings; it was directly stabbing them in the back!

Lord Youshan clapped his hands and laughed, "The three beings are fighting at the core, their avatars roaming everywhere, destroying life on planets... And you, you want to join their avatars, race against them, and destroy life on planets?"

"Fine, I truly underestimated you. What a grand scheme! You Asura Path members are utterly insane!"

Lord Youshan chuckled, "You've provoked the interests of the three powerhouses, and now you want to draw Emperor to escort you?"

"Are you saying you don't believe in Emperor's combat prowess?" the players asked.

"I..."

Lord Youshan's expression subtly changed.

He paced back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back, looking anxious.

If it were an ordinary Mid-Tier God, he would never have believed it, because the gap in cultivation realms was simply too vast.

After all, he himself, along with a group of allies, had been personally slain by the Three Pillar Gods. Only through direct experience could one truly grasp how terrifying those forbidden beings, proclaimed as the strongest of the ninth-tier, actually were!

But if it was the Samsara Lord...

He fell silent again, recalling that astonishing mastermind who had brought endless darkness to the era, severed the ancient immortal path, and plunged countless people into despair.

What was his combat power like?

Could he truly fight above his level in the face of such beings?

He said, "We can give it a try."

"That's great!"

The players were now very anxious. Holding back the Three Pillar Gods with just one light giant's attempt was only the first step.

There was an even more audacious plan: they not only wanted to save many people but also to carve out a massive piece of the pie from the three forbidden beings.

"However, most of my forces have been depleted. Only a small number of mortal, ordinary gods remain. I can provide them for temporary requisition, but I estimate it won't be enough," Lord Youshan's reply made the players' expressions tense.

Indeed, Lord Youshan and his allies had suffered a crushing defeat.

Most of their elites were dead, leaving only the old, weak, and disabled.

Even Lord Youshan himself could not muster much strength for another high-stakes gamble to turn the tide.

Although Lord Youshan was inherently a great gambler, constantly inciting others to speak of miracles, discuss probabilities, and create the impossible.

"Is there really no other way?" the players asked.

Lord Youshan took a deep breath. He was, after all, a ruthless and unwilling individual. Making up his mind, he suddenly chuckled, "However, I can create an opportunity for you. The Demon Suppressing Pagoda of the Grand Unity Dao Sect holds all the cultivators of divine abilities in this world. You should know that the total number of divine ability users is immense, numbering in the tens of millions. Not all powerful cultivators had the strength to refine them into magic artifacts, which is why they were suppressed... If you can persuade them..."

This was the last available force: even hostile forces were still forces.

Furthermore, releasing this group of suppressed gifted individuals would be extremely troublesome for Lord Youshan, regardless of the outcome of this war, because all his enemies would have escaped from prison.

"I'll take this gamble with you," Lord Youshan declared, opening the doors.

Thump, thump, thump!

Outside the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, guards screamed.

"Ah!"

"Someone's breaking into our Demon Suppressing Pagoda to bust out prisoners while we're away fighting!"

"This is bad!"

Inside the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, the suppressed gifted individuals heard the sounds outside and grew excited. Could it be that they were being rescued?

Thump, thump, thump!

Another set of footsteps approached, and a player emerged. "Everyone, we are warriors from the Asura Path! We've defeated Lord Youshan's guards and are here to rescue you!"

The cultivators of divine abilities were thrilled.

Then the players informed them of the situation outside and their subsequent plan. However, everyone's expression subtly changed, finding their plan utterly insane.

"This is to turn the tide for the divine ability users!"

"For your era and your race!"

"Yes, you might think it's impossible, unachievable."

"But a so-called miracle won't happen if you don't try to create it," the players said with serious expressions. "Many of you call this act... foolish."

"Yes, you are rational, and it's natural for you to label those who 'know something is unchangeable but still try to change it' as foolish. But are they truly foolish?"

"A so-called miracle is about trying the impossible... If you don't even try and label that as foolish, then those people are destined never to create miracles."

The player's gaze swept around, and all the divine ability users who met his eyes flinched, unable to meet his stare.

"Many people, after they fall, simply curl up in the dirt! They are poor yet huddle in dilapidated shacks! They lie on the ground, gazing at the sky, numbly watching the outside world, secretly hoping for a one-in-ten-thousand miracle, expecting destiny to take a turn..."

"However, there are no miracles that just wait to happen; they... are all stained with blood."

At that moment, everyone was shaken.

They decided to fight for it.

"We only have one fusion talent left. Currently, only thirty of us have fused, leaving two hundred seventy fusion slots," the player said, noting that the fusion limit was around three hundred.

"Water element talent users, step forward," a player commanded.

Water elemental talents were a major category, and dozens of people stepped forward instantly.

"Light element talent users, step forward." The players quickly screened them.

Most of the talented individuals here were not particularly strong.

However, their own player faction was far from strong enough to contend with the natives. Still, they managed a major integration from these secondary talents.

This fully completed the number of people with their fusion talent.

The players themselves were also on edge. Everyone enjoyed excitement, but the consequences...

"Are we really going to do this?"

"Can we really win?"

"I don't know. It's truly insane, but if we succeed, we will truly establish our own player territory in this world. In traditional terms: we'll get a city-building token and start building a city!"

"Are we going to steal some energy during the destruction to build our civilized world?"

"It's time to introduce the first batch of inhabitants."

Boom!

On a planet.

Tiga was covered in wounds, and the Three Pillar Gods opposite him were also severely injured.

"Haa!"

Tiga was still in battle.

At this moment, the entire planet's television stations were broadcasting the event, and even many planetary TV stations across the universe were conducting a widespread relay.

They were in despair. In their final moments, all they heard were news of other planets being destroyed. Although countless planets were fleeing in all directions, they didn't know when their turn would come.

This news, however, barely ignited a glimmer of hope within them.

After all, he was the prophesied savior hero.

"Wuu wuu wuu, Tiga, don't lose!"

"You must win!"

Everyone was praying and crying out.

Tiga was already battered and bruised, having seemingly died countless times, and everyone's hearts ached for him.

On the other side, a new Sun-Near Mirror had finally gathered three hundred talents, achieving a qualitative change.

It was a spherical eyeball.

The magnifying glass at its front appeared to be its lens, emitting a beam of light.

Suddenly, a voice came from the distant Sun-Near Mirror, "It's done! After all, it was an extremely simple expansion project: just increasing the beam's range of illumination!"

The Three Pillar Gods were completely enraged.

At this moment, Tiga suddenly roared mournfully, "Children of this entire planet, all living beings, I can no longer defeat the enemy's Demon Pillar O..."

The entire planet suddenly fell into silence, panic, and despair.

"Ultraman Zero is already dead."

"And Ultraman Dyna is also dead."

They had watched each Ultraman enter the fray one by one, only for another to descend after. Seeing their comrades die, they wept sorrowfully, yet eventually fought with burning passion, filling everyone with grief.

Tiga roared, "But I still have a way! I can take all of you and escape this planet, letting you build new lives and find happiness again in our Land of Light home!"

"Please release the Spirit Bomb! Lend me your power!"

Suddenly, the entire elemental channel beam became incredibly vast, covering the entire colossal planet, hundreds of acres in size.

Swish—

Light enveloped the entire planet, bathing it in sanctity.

"We want to..."

The entire planet trembled, and countless beings fell silent.

The entire world was in a dark age, and escape from death was nearly impossible for them. This was their sole hope, so they chose to believe in the legendary savior hero, raising their hands high.

The Spirit Bomb — dedicating all their power.

This was already a technique known to all beings in the micro-universe, as it was a simple cultivation method learned at the first-tier, and the planet's inhabitants were generally above the first-tier.

On a cliff.

A small town.

Countless elderly, children, parents, and young people left their garages and homes, walked into the open, and raised their hands high.

"Is that the Ultramen's homeland?"

They watched the gentle golden beam of light covering the entire planet in the sky, as if seeing a divine realm, with golden staircases leading to ancient, sacred halls.

"Please take me with you, please take my power!"

They shouted.

"To defeat the opponent, we must also become light!"

"I want to become light."

In a school, countless children, led by their teachers, came to the playground and raised their arms high. "I am Tiga too."

"I am Tiga too."

Blood boiled!

A new hope emerged in the entire Dark Era.

Xu Zhi sat elevated, still sipping tea. "Although the era is tragic, with the arrival of a dark age, fierce battles, various roars, and hymns of the era, I can't shake the feeling... that something isn't quite right."
