Chapter 244: Chapter 166 Killing the Narrative_2

Zhou Yuan couldn’t be more excited. Even though it only lasted a minute, it was still a divine experience card. This was the treatment that a Saint Heir deserved!

But, what was the price?

"You... What exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Yuan called out.

"Oh, now you think of using formal language?"

In Zhou Yuan’s mind, he pictured Raven rolling her eyes. "Don’t think about anything else. Just go and kill that guy."

"And take this."

A long knife was forcibly shoved into Zhou Yuan’s hand.

He stared in shock, with wide eyes.

It was actually the Urging Knife!

"Wasn’t this knife with Chen Guangxi? Why..."

"Borrowed," Raven said. "Don’t waste time, go quickly. If you’re any later, everyone will be dead."

Zhou Yuan frowned at the Urging Knife, vaguely grasping the truth behind this abnormal event.

He then temporarily put away the Urging Knife, raised his hand, and a basketball-sized black hole appeared in his palm. It expanded in all directions, releasing a mighty roar, absorbing and swallowing all the Demonic Qi that formed the cage.

This was Return to Ruins.

In just a moment, the cage of Demonic Qi vanished into thin air.

Zhou Yuan moved with a thought, used his Reality Distortion Ability, and teleported Jiang Wuming, Amy, and all others, along with the entire Plant Paradise, to a safe location outside the battlefield.

Spiritual Energy surged, solidifying the space into a sphere that refracted colorful lights, encapsulating the battlefield, and blocking any observation from satellites or other detection tools.

Then, within the spherical space, darkness as deep as the night spread. Zhou Yuan deployed the Dark Night Domain, turning the entire area into a realm of darkness.

The next moment, the Return to Ruins suddenly swelled, and within the eternal darkness that covered everything, a faint light appeared, transforming the Return to Ruins into a pitch-black sun.

The Black Sun hovered in the sky, draining all color from everything.

The sun disk rotated, and a more terrifying gravitational force erupted from it, pulling everything in relentlessly. Even the Demon King couldn’t help but be drawn toward it.

"You—" The Demon King was shocked, never expecting such a change. Where had this deity come from?

It took out an eraser again and rapidly wiped at the Black Sun. In an instant, the sun disk was silently erased, and the eraser crumbled into powder immediately.

"It’s not Reality Distortion, but... Narrative Revision."

Zhou Yuan stood within the Divine Realm. Although he had never analyzed these special powers before, now he could identify them. At this level, some profound knowledge seemed to be automatically understood.

He then revealed a playful smile, indeed!

"This power doesn’t belong to you. How many more times can you use it?"

"Without this power, you’re just a hollow shell."

Zhou Yuan summoned the Shadow Sword and slashed at the Demon King.

At this level, even a skill like the Shadow Sword turned into a divine skill. The blade sweep unleashed a black storm of shadow energy, carrying billions of Shadow Blades in a howling whirlwind.

Like the natural phenomenon of wind erosion in nature, where wind carrying sand particles continuously scours and grinds exposed rocks. In this process, the sand particles are like countless tiny grinding wheels, constantly hitting and abrading the rock’s surface, causing the rock’s shape to change.

Abrading a rock is a very long process, but if the sand particles were replaced with sharper and more dangerous Shadow Blades, the rock would turn to dust in an instant.

And now, the Demon King was that rock.

It condensed a suit of Demonic Qi armor using divine power, wrapping itself up to temporarily withstand the Shadow Blade Storm, but the entire armor was shrinking at a visible rate.

The Demon King pointed from a distance, firing a filthy divine power beam through the Shadow Blade Storm.

A dark vortex appeared in front of Zhou Yuan. Return to Ruins roared, swallowing the divine power beam. Moments later, a glimmer of death shone in the unfathomable darkness.

Devour and transform, using power against power.

A lunar eclipse beam struck back at the Demon King, shattering its protective divine armor with a crack.

The Demon King’s chest was pierced by a large hole, dark matter rapidly spreading and devouring within it.

Crack!

Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers crisply.

The space twisted densely, and then black vortices appeared one after another, transforming into numerous massive black sun disks.

Hundreds of thousands of black suns surrounded the Demon King, then exploded spectacularly.

There was no earth-shattering sound, no dazzling special effects. The silent annihilation brought by the black sun explosions was like the quiet yet destructive force of celestial explosions in the universe.

The Demon King resisted desperately, ultimately escaping from the explosions, battered and bruised. As it looked ahead, its eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

All around were Zhou Yuan’s figures, at least ten thousand of them, each exuding a divine aura. The real from the fake and the fake from the real were indistinguishable.

Every Zhou Yuan was holding a colossal black sun disk, rotating slowly, emanating deep roars.

All the energy consumption was borne by Raven, so Zhou Yuan was all the more determined to enjoy himself to the fullest. This was a rare opportunity for some public-funded indulgence!

"Do you like my ultra-big Rasengan?"

The Zhou Yuans simultaneously threw the black sun disks, once again enveloping the Demon King in explosions.

Moments later, it drove its shattered body out of the annihilation zone and unleashed a filthy divine power storm, slashing fiercely at the Zhou Yuans.

One Zhou Yuan after another exploded into black mist scattering everywhere. The Demon King carefully searched for the real Zhou Yuan.

But it didn’t expect that, within the cavity in its chest, in the spreading dark matter, a tiny figure stood up.

Zhou Yuan held the Urging Knife, injecting large amounts of divine power into it, transforming the abnormal item. From the characteristic of "killing the author," it branched out and extended, creating a new unique characteristic.

—Killing the narrative created by the author.

Zhou Yuan swung the blade, releasing a dazzling arc. This arc not only tore apart the Demon King’s body, but also shattered space, sliced through realms, and disrupted the entire narrative.

It was like a game character breaking through the screen, opening a path to the real world—a miraculous feat.

The scene changed abruptly.

Zhou Yuan found himself standing on solid ground by a dim and oppressive lakeside cabin.

The world was desolate, with sparse vegetation, filled with bleakness and deathly silence.

Looking back, a massive shadow lurked in the depths of the lake, casting an angry and venomous glance at him.

The water surface stirred, boiling intensely, but the shadow seemed to be suppressed,

left to rage impotently.

Click, click, click...

The sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed.

Zhou Yuan turned around in astonishment and saw a beautiful woman wearing an intricate, dark gown woven from the night, walking towards him slowly. She had long black hair that flowed to her waist, and eyes as serene as the night, sparkling with starlight.

Her features were flawless, without any imperfection, like the most perfect creation, exuding a mysterious elegance, giving an impression akin to a gentle nocturne.

"You... have a human form?" Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened in shock.

Raven ignored him and walked expressionlessly to the lakeshore. She reached out, and from a distance, plucked out a mass of muck-like substance.

The lakebed cleared up suddenly, becoming pristine again.

The bleakness in the world lessened significantly, no longer as dim and oppressive. The clouds dispersed, and bright sunlight shone down.

"Phew... caught it."

Raven finally let out a long breath and chuckled, ending her mysterious and elegant demeanor instantly. "Look what we’ve got? A wild Evil God, crispy like chicken, and with six times the protein of beef."

Zhou Yuan: "..."

He rubbed his face hard. Right, shouldn’t expect too much from a goddess.

Thud!

At that moment, a muffled sound came from the cabin, as if someone had fallen down.
