Chapter 263: Chapter 239 Divine War

Erase!

Not torn apart, not exploded, but...utterly erased from this world.

The God of Wine’s expression was full of shock and horror, he still didn’t understand...how was all of this achieved?

Had the Iron Throne been attacked by Divine Power?

But even if struck by Divine Power, there should still be the most basic element of iron remaining!

The Truth Ruler, in its initial form, created different things according to the strength of the spiritual power; as long as the spiritual power was sufficient, there was nothing that couldn’t be done.

However, after "Divine Arrival".

The power of this ruler was no longer limited to "creation".

It could also be used for..."destruction".

Creation is "from zero to one", while destruction is the reverse "from one to zero".

"..."

Cold sweat seeped from the brow of the God of Wine. In his own Divine Arrival domain, he could see every blade of grass quivering slightly, he could feel every wisp of the flowing air.

But he couldn’t "see" Gu Shen.

In his Transcendent perception, the youth was like a huge black hole, an existence akin to a "point of order collapse".

What was going on?

The seemingly ordinary young man before him was imposing an extremely strong sense of oppression on himself!

The silence between the two lasted for a short few seconds.

The God of Wine had a tense expression and coldly said, "Are you...Gu Changzhi?"

The side effects of the Divine Arrival state were not evident in Gu Shen’s body; he didn’t see Divine Power breaking through the restraints of flesh and altering his genes, nor did he see that familiar face.

Gu Shen was in a very delicate state, completely relaxed as though he were soaking in hot water...in the state of Divine Arrival, he seemed to have omnipotent power.

So the Truth Ruler could be tamed to such an extent.

So every element in this world could be so clear under the Blazing Fire Vision.

This feeling was truly...addictive.

A voice in his mind lazily led him to speak, as if another soul residing in his body, its faint voice spread through every alley of the Divine Domain.

"Otherwise?"

"No...impossible..."

The God of Wine’s expression became hazy, and he murmured subconsciously: "I saw with my own eyes...you died in the [Old World]..."

[Old World...]

Gu Shen’s soul seemed to split into two, one lazily conversing, while the other scrutinized himself, "slowly" pondering.

[Old World...what is that?]

The pondering soul was unable to speak.

While the "Divine Soul" controlling the body, using Gu Shen’s form, smiled leisurely and with ease.

"So..."

"Who is standing before you now?"

Gu Shen’s expression was solemn as he waved his hand.

The entire Divine Domain began to roar!

A boundless gale rose from the ground, the lord of this Spiritual World was no longer the God of Wine. With the raising of Gu Shen’s hand as a boundary, like the legendary god who parted the Red Sea, the streets of the old district were swept up like waves, numerous buildings shattered, swept into the sky, Gu Shen stood atop the waves, enveloped in the Spiritual Radiance, the slender strand of silver radiance he held in his palm was no longer merely an ordinary ruler.

It was a scepter governing the rules of the world!

One Divine Domain, split in two!

The youth wearing the moon-white robe, with green veins throbbing on his forehead, let out a roar, and as he raised his hand, the moon-white robe tore apart with a ripping sound, revealing golden scale armors tailored closely to his body—a dazzling and splendid suit of battle armor.

The young deity’s palm, charged for a moment, was aimed at Gu Shen and burst forth with a thick purple beam!

The gold in Gu Shen’s pupils was even more dazzling than the scale armor, and the world reflected in his eyes seemed bathed in golden brilliance.

Seeing this, Gu Shen remained indifferent.

He snapped his two fingers together in a chopping motion.

The Truth Ruler too let out a roar, a crescent moon of silver light instantly slashing forth, meeting the purple pillar of the Wine God head-on.

Both were Divine Thrones.

Both bore Divine Souls.

Yet the outcome of this clash... held no suspense.

The Truth Ruler’s arc strike directly wiped out the Spiritual Radiance of the Wine God’s Throne, and without losing momentum, it nearly split the entire Divine Domain in half. The only pity was that when the Truth Arc Light collided with the golden scale armor, it only produced a crisp clinking sound, failing to cleave the Wine God in two.

Clearly... this was a top-tier spiritual defense divine item.

The face of the Wine God turned pale as he looked down at the golden scale armor he wore. Around the waist area, the scales were shattered, reflecting a flaring light—

This was the Soul Protection he had forged in imitation of the Primordial Divine Items from the Old World, having consumed a considerable amount of Extraordinary Essence... How could it be as frail as paper?

Just one hit.

And it had come to this?

"Now... do you know who I am?"

The Divine Domain of the Wine God was violently cleaved in two, and as he lifted his head to witness the apocalyptic scene where dark clouds swept over, numerous buildings and stones ripped from the ground floated like a tsunami’s waves. The young deity housed by the Divine Soul seemed to have stood for too long and, growing tired, chose to sit leisurely at the peak of the wave.

With one hand propping up his knee, he looked down upon the mortal world from above the Divine Domain, his golden eyes devoid of even the slightest ripple of emotion.

That look... rather than being fervent,

Could be described as... the ultimate in coldness.

Such power... scour the Five Continents, and there would be no counterfeit; this... was Gu Changzhi’s "Divine Soul!"

The Wine God, who had harbored a trace of doubt about the token, now entirely dispelled his previous thoughts.

"Hah..."

The prophecy of the Source Tower had been wrong.

The Wine God’s spirit fluctuated for a moment but soon restored to calm.

Perhaps it was because the "Divine Soul" couldn’t last much longer, or maybe because the Angel Envoy’s body could no longer bear the strain... He could no longer command the Divine Domain to rise to a height equal to Gu Shen, only able to look up at him from below.

"Since you are still alive..."

From every direction, snow-white streams of light flew towards him, reforming into the same complete moon-white robe, covering the shattered armor.

Maintaining his last bit of dignity, the Wine God said calmly, "Then I apologize to you; this dispute should come to an end, for the betterment of both continents."

While speaking, he kept a close watch on the other’s expression, but saw nothing within those golden eyes...

This was a manifestation of the Divine Soul he had never seen before.

The temperament exhibited by the young man before him also differed somewhat from his understanding of Gu Changzhi.

In his memory, Gu Changzhi was a man embodying the world’s brightness—open-minded, forthright. But the current "Divine Soul" seemed a bit... too unrestrained.

No response came.

The Wine God paused and frowned, "This is the East Continent... surely you don’t wish to start a Divine War here, do you?"

The youth seated at the crest of the wave smiled.

"Divine War..."

It was as if he heard a very amusing joke.

Gu Shen asked softly, "And you think you are worthy?"
