Chapter 681: Divine Ceremony

The Young God’s explanation was very clear; at least, there were no logical issues.

However, the others did not fully trust her. Even the Young God herself said this was merely speculation; if they truly believed it, that would be foolish.

— But Yun Ye was different.

As an outsider, he shouldn’t have known more than the world’s top extraordinary beings.

Yet, as an exceptional existence who gathered three Spirit Senses of True Immortal magic, even with his power repeatedly diminished, he could hardly overlook the essence of this world.

Before the Young God spoke, he had already sensed something unusual about this world.

After she spoke, following this line of thought slightly, Yun Ye arrived at a vague answer.

This line of reasoning was correct; it could indeed lead to godhood—only the standard was unknown, making it difficult for him to deduce with his current power.

“Interesting. The Nine Lives Spirit Law tells me that to know the correct answer, I must at least reach the Royal Path, where my personal will surpasses an entire universe… In other words, this is a nearly impossible possibility because the world itself does not intend to open this door. Only the most invincible and gifted perfect being can break through by sheer strength.”

With his talent enhancing him, Yun Ye was also a super sage and quickly thought of countless possibilities, gradually touching the ultimate truth of this world.

However, the information he possessed was too limited, and his foresight for the future was insufficient, preventing him from narrowing down the possibilities completely.

Soon, he stopped thinking. Since he couldn’t arrive at an answer, he would wait to gather information later; the world wouldn’t suddenly vanish.

“No matter which path the Spatial King chooses, he must do something—utilize the power of all humanity to deconstruct the distortion objects.”

“There has never been a being that could become a god without faith; this is determined by the essence of distortion objects. It is certain that achieving godhood requires the collective will of humanity, so what we must do next is wait for the Spatial King to begin the divine ceremony and then strike directly at the heart.”

The white-haired Young God said.

“How long must we wait? Are we just going to watch as a great battle begins? Many familiar relatives and friends will die, and everything familiar will be destroyed.”

The stern man said.

“Ha, what does it matter? I’m not interested in the surroundings anyway. I just stay in my room every day; if it gets destroyed, it’s just a change.”

The light golden-haired girl couldn’t help but retort.

“What about your parents, friends, and siblings? Don’t speak so lightly. People must adapt to society and communicate; otherwise, they will inevitably end up lonely and mentally disturbed!”

The stern man felt increasingly frustrated with the newer generation and their incomprehensible attitudes, his words became sharper.

“Ha, that’s your generation; the one that thinks you can’t rise to power without socializing or relying on others. We don’t have that issue—there was never any opportunity from the start, so it’s enough for us to just stay in our rooms. Friends? Relatives? Ha, don’t you see the birth rate dropping?”

“You’re really annoying, just like those so-called experts!”

The girl transformed into a stream of data, diving into the smartphone she carried, turning into a chibi figure, sticking out her tongue at the stern man, and vanished as she soared through the internet. “I’ll find the clues myself!”

“Please, Lana.”

Both the white-haired girl and the gray-haired elder said.

Memory Destruction, Lana Bart, 31 years old.

A Mage capable of existing in a two-dimensional world, able to devour memories and emotions, and data-fy herself at any time, allowing her to remain eternally youthful.

Most S-level Mages in this world relied on talent, and Lana displayed exceptional electronic technology talent in her youth. Through continuous research, she ultimately completed her own S-level magic, “Memory Destruction,” which had already fried the brains of countless keyboard warriors upon its creation.

According to her, it allowed those angry internet users to gain a moment of peace. — Memories erased indeed provided peace, allowing for a complete turnaround.

Her magic was quite suitable for gathering intelligence; if anyone wanted to detect the Spatial King’s unusual movements, looking for her was certainly more reliable than anyone else.

"I’m sorry, Lord Destroyer, but Lana’s personality is indeed a bit peculiar!"

The Witch stepped forward to apologize.

"No problem."

The stern man waved his hand, feeling somewhat disinterested. He wouldn’t get into a conflict with an S-level Mage over such a small matter; he was merely astonished by the vast difference in views between him and the younger generation… Oh, he used to be like that when he was young, so it was nothing.

The Witch bowed again, then picked up her phone, preparing to step aside.

But then, the phone vibrated.

Lana’s voice echoed across the floating island.

"There’s grave news! The Spatial King has already begun to act! He not only stole the two highest distortion objects but also took away others. Just recently, a large number of the Spatial King’s subordinates directly broke into the sealing site and snatched the distortion objects!"

"And he’s giving a speech, a global address targeting the two major factions. This has been pre-recorded and played using magic, unrelated to the internet. I can’t stop it, Young God! Young God! What should we do?!"

Young God suddenly stood up, a look of fear on her face: "Stealing all the distortion objects—what does he intend to do? Unsealing so many distortion objects is no joke!"

Class A distortion objects require some effort even from S-level Mages to seal. Usually, there are at least ten Class A distortion objects at one sealing mechanism.

According to what they knew, there were four sealing mechanisms visible to the public, and there should undoubtedly be more hidden…

If the stolen distortion objects were enough to be described as "numerous," then it was likely more than just ten Class A distortion objects.

A significant cluster of Class A distortion objects— even S-level Mages would struggle with that. Moreover, distortion objects could intertwine to form larger distortion objects.

Dozens of Class A distortion objects could certainly give rise to a catastrophic S-level distortion object.

So far, the known S-level distortion objects were the new Holy Grail and the new Holy Cup; each one could interfere with an entire continent.

Once a new S-level distortion object emerged, the situation would become irreparable, and even S-level Mages could be buried!

Lana’s urgency was entirely justified!

This was a visible to the naked eye possibility of world destruction, and if they didn’t act, they would not survive such a calamity!

"Start moving immediately; we must reclaim the distortion objects! With so many distortion objects gathering, the Spatial King’s location has already been exposed!"

Young God gazed across the world and saw countless overlapping beams of light, "The location is the Equatorial Abyss. Let’s go!"

The Equatorial Abyss, a unique rift along the equator said to have been created by the ancient gods’ spears, is very well-known.

Holding a divine speech here creates an appropriately charged atmosphere!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may recognize these two items. That’s right; they are the red silk ball of Empress Wa and the Holy Grail of the One God. These distortion objects are recorded in textbooks, and there’s only one reason for that: humanity’s perception can change their nature and dissolve the ‘evil’ they embody."

"The red silk ball can reshape mountains and rivers but will exhaust humanity’s potential and future. The Holy Grail can grant wishes but requires the blood of a god to fill it. Without divine blood, one naturally needs human blood instead, and perhaps one hundred thousand could equate to the blood of a god."

"This is the innate evil of these two ‘Divine Artifacts,’ and today, I will eliminate this evil."

"I, the Spatial King, borrow your strength!"

“To become a god through this, to eliminate this evil, and to remove the world’s distortion!"

The Spatial King was a handsome older man with slightly white hair, showing no signs of his great age. His speech was resolute; he did not seek the help of humanity but rather stated facts.

He pressed the red silk ball into his heart— the red silk ball merged into him, replacing his heart, beating ferociously.

Then, he placed the Holy Grail against his forehead— the golden Holy Grail fused into him, replacing his brain, blood transforming into his wisdom.

In this simple manner, he absorbed the two distortion objects, and an indescribable divine light erupted from his body.

What gave him the ability to absorb distortion objects?

All the S-level Mages expressed their doubts. If it were that simple to absorb distortion objects, then there shouldn’t be only one person with the title of Young God— all S-level Mages should have that ability.
