Chapter 983: Chapter 738: Apocalypse Descends_1

At this moment, below, Feng Ming and his son Lance, along with the others, were extremely astonished. They had never imagined that the once disdained and overlooked outsider with no roots would, after just a little over a year of absence, reappear with a presence that could confront the gods of their clan.

This disbelief almost made them distrust their own eyes.

Particularly Lance, who had always harbored affection for Lei Leian, though she had no feelings for him. Because of her, Lance had once been jealous of Su Yu and even thought about harming him in secret.

However, the situation had reversed later on. Lei Leian had been taken by her parents to the Upper Realm, and now, as Su Yu reappeared, he was lofty and high, capable of standing up against the gods of their clan. Lance, watching from afar, suddenly felt a sense of inferiority and resentment. How could someone he once deemed unworthy now stand so high above him? Why would the heavens be so unjust, when he, Lance, was the favored son of the sky?

Lance was filled with grudges, but up above, Akaski was sizing Su Yu with full surprise. Su Yu looked at Akaski and then at Feng Ming and the others below, and suddenly, he had an epiphany—could it be that Lei Leian’s race and civilization were the "Amori Clan"?

Akaski stared at Su Yu, and although Su Yu and the Black Warriors had once attacked "Amori City," he personally held no resentment towards Su Yu. If it hadn’t been for the battle at "Amori City," he, Akaski, would have never had the chance to take the final step beyond a Pinnacle Demigod. He later learned that all this was within the calculations of the higher echelons of the "Amori Clan," including his own ascension to godhood.

"Su Yu, your battle with the Maya Pillar God has made you quite famous," Akaski said, now that he knew the young man before him was Su Yu, softening his demeanor with a light smile, "Regrettably, I did not have the chance to witness that battle... Later, I had intended to seek revenge against Lu Sanxi and Wang An, but you beat me to it. Speaking of it, I should actually thank you for taking that big revenge for me."

Su Yu, surprised at Akaski’s friendliness, was momentarily taken aback. Akaski continued, "What brings you here, sir? Is it for the anomaly in the Heavenly Pit Forest?"

Seeing this, Su Yu did not hold back and replied, "Indeed, I want to have a look at the details of every ’Heavenly Pit Forest,’ and after much thought, only the Ten Great Giant Cities would have such capability."

Akaski let out a hearty laugh and said, "Please." With that, he turned and re-entered the hall, and after a brief hesitation, Su Yu followed him in.

As for the Ancestor below, or Lance and his son, they were completely overlooked.

For those who had reached the level of Golden Warrior, these Black Iron Warriors below were not even considered cannon fodder.

Lance was gnashing his teeth in rage, yet he dared not lash out, filled with a sense of powerlessness.

His father and the white-haired Ancestor exchanged looks and then reluctantly followed suit.

Upon entering the hall, Su Yu saw several Light Spheres, within which were the true projections of various Heavenly Pit Forests. Should one wish to pay extra attention to any particular Heavenly Pit Forest, they simply needed to focus their spirit into it. Quickly, that Heavenly Pit Forest’s true projection would expand immensely, giving one the feeling of actually being there and allowing observation of every detail.

In this world, each of the Ten Great Giant Cities had such Light Spheres, and through these spheres, one could observe all the Heavenly Pit Forests of this world.

At the moment, within each of these "Heavenly Pit Forests," following the purification by the pale red light, all the forces that exceeded the set limits were being eradicated. Even those more powerful than gods would turn to dust in an instant under this pale red light, leaving nothing behind.

"Poor Maya Pillar God," Akaski remarked, pointing at one of the "Heavenly Pit Forests," "The white-haired Pillar God met his end there, cleared away. It seems the nine Maya Pillar Gods should now be renamed the eight Pillar Gods."

Akaski spoke those words, yet there was no hint of mockery or schadenfreude in his tone, more a sentiment of empathy.

Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Akaski, why have you come to the Black Iron World?" He had returned to the Black Iron World to bring back his parents, but Akaski had lived for so many years, surely he didn’t have kin about to enter a Heavenly Pit Forest at the end of days. So why would such a god be present here? In fact, Su Yu felt surprised the moment he saw those few Maya gods.

"Why am I here? Heh, hehe..." Akaski gave a faint smile and replied, "Just like the Maya Pillar Gods, grasping at the slightest chance... Even though there’s almost no possibility of success, I still wanted to try. Not only me and the Maya Pillar Gods, but I believe other races would have also sent their gods to this world. However, looking at it now... it seems to be of little use."

At this point, he suddenly turned to Su Yu and said, "Seeing how young you are, you haven’t been in this world for very long, have you?"

Su Yu hummed in response, "Two years."

Akaski laughed and said, "In just two years, you’ve reached such a realm. Your fortune and aptitude are truly terrifying. If you had come two years later, with your talent and these opportunities, you might have been... the protagonist of the First Era. Unfortunately, you came two years too early and ended up with the same fate as us."

Su Yu was taken aback, looking at Akaski. The words he had just heard were completely baffling to Su Yu.

Came too early by two years? Logically speaking, coming in two years earlier should provide a greater advantage than coming in later. Why then did Akaski say he had come too early?

Facing Su Yu’s confusion, Akaski smiled and said, "You’ll know by tomorrow. I’m not very clear on the specifics myself, as I have never experienced the end of the Fourth Era. The information I have now is all secondhand and may not be accurate."

At this moment, somewhere in this world, within one of the Ten Great Giant Cities, "Black Dragon Giant City", in a similarly majestic hall, rows of Light Spheres were projecting the images of various Heavenly Pit Forests. Right now, in this hall, the modern master of Black Dragon Giant City, Liuhuan, as well as the masters of other Main Cities, were standing respectfully. Aside from them, there were also eight vague and flickering black figures towering in front of these Light Spheres, staring intently at the Heavenly Pit Forests within.

It wasn’t just them; in the other Ten Great Giant Cities, including "White Tiger Giant City", "Loulan Giant City" and so on, all the upper echelons of this world were almost unanimously watching the Light Spheres depicting the Heavenly Pit Forests, silently awaiting that moment’s arrival.

As time passed, the prophesied End of Days, December 21st, finally arrived.

All along, there were various rumors about the apocalypse, but for most humans living on Earth, the majority didn’t believe in such tales, including the former Su Yu before he descended into the Black Iron World through the Heavenly Pit. He also did not believe in any doomsday prophecy and always considered it nothing but a boring legend.

However, although most people did not believe in the prophecy of the apocalypse, it was a fact that in the last two years, disasters frequently erupted on Earth. Earthquakes and tsunamis were common, and Heavenly Pits appeared one after another, swallowing countless lives. Earth had entered a period of frequent disasters, all seemingly presaging and warning humanity that the end was near.

Until the prophesied doomsday, December 21st.

On this day, the sun didn’t rise, just as in the legend, signaling the arrival of the apocalypse, the sun no longer ascended.

On this day, there were no catastrophic disasters like those predicted in the legends. It happened quietly—as metropolitan cities, villages, and buildings seemed to succumb to some mysterious force, collapsing into various sized round pits one after another.

Countless cities, countries, and even entire civilizations vanished quietly on this day, all plummeting into the round pits of darkness, disappearing completely.

Billions of humans across all nations vanished without a sound, and many were still asleep. They all fell into the Heavenly Pits, arriving in another world, and the original Earth, once teeming with life, suddenly fell silent. Nearly ten thousand years of evolving civilizations, much like the mysteriously vanished civilization of Atlantis, disappeared from Earth without warning.

For any civilization that might rise again on Earth in the future, the disappearance of this era’s human civilization was sudden and incredible, leaving behind myriad possibilities and fantastical speculations, filled with legends and mysteries.

At this moment, in the Black Iron World, in the Ten Great Giant Cities, nearly all the high-level officials were silently watching rows of Light Spheres, observing as buildings and even entire cities emerged from the depths of the Heavenly Pit Forests. At the same time, above the Heavenly Pit Forests, countless figures were densely cast into them amidst faint red glows.

Su Yu was currently wide-eyed, watching one of the Heavenly Pit Forests. He could clearly see buildings quietly surfacing from within these forests.

In the void above, numerous shadows were being cast in. These shadows, which were the familiar smaller Goblins, larger Goblin Beasts, Goblins, Goblin knights, Blood-Ox Demons, Golden Goblins, and all sorts of Zombies, swarmed in the blink of an eye, filling the entire Heavenly Pit Forest and infesting the countless structures that had just risen up.
