I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 524: The Time of Farewell Has Arrived

"What do you mean by the moment of ultimate demise? Don't you know?"

The inquiry from Lu Heng slightly surprised the immense Demon Stone Stele.

However, after a moment of silence, realizing that Lu Heng in front of him was not a creature from the Celestial Desolation Realm, Chu You understood.

"Since you are unaware, allow me to enlighten you," said Chu You. "The so-called moment of ultimate demise refers to the final command left by formidable enemies of Heaven beyond Heaven when the Heavenly Court was destroyed during the ancient chaos."

"The existence of the Nine World-Suppressing Cauldrons allows the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm to be eternal and indestructible. Even if the Earthly Catastrophe is capable of exterminating all living beings, in the next era when all things revive, the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm will once again emerge and accumulate the power to resist."

"For the sake of completely eliminating any future threats, Heaven beyond Heaven left behind the means to utterly annihilate the Celestial Desolation Realm."

"That is the supreme Sacred Tool, known as the Celestial Emperor's Bell, which resides deep within the timeless and pristine realm, requiring the essence of innumerable beings and countless ages of cultivation to be harnessed."

"The first toll of the bell can bring about the destruction of the world."

"The second toll of the bell will sever all vitality."𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at novelbi𝒏(.)c𝒐m

"The third toll of the bell, and everything shall return to nothingness."

"At this moment of ultimate demise that is about to befall, through the continuous harvest of vital essence from the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, the Celestial Emperor's Bell, deep within the eternal pure land, is finally reawakening."

"Next, it shall be the final battle."

Chi You proclaimed, "The Celestial Desolation Realm has amassed all its military might over countless years and nurtured numerous cultivators as adversaries to the Seven Realms. It is destined to confront the ultimate decisive battle."

"The outcome of this battle will determine the destiny not only of the Celestial Desolation Realm but also the entire realms."

The massive Demon Stone Stele said to Lu Heng, "It is a pity that your Heavenly Court's strength is feeble and cannot play a pivotal role in this ultimate decisive battle."

"Therefore, before I came out, the Supreme God asked me to relay this message to you: while the moment of demise has not arrived, escape with your subordinates. The dimension where you have them hiding is not a safe place; instead, it is the most dangerous and terrifying region within the realm of heavens."

"Once the day of ultimate demise arrives and the Celestial Emperor's Bell tolls, the malevolent spirits slumbering beneath Mount Buzhou shall annihilate all entities within that dimension."

"Your only retreat lies within the Starry Sky Tomb, untouched by the destruction of the Celestial Emperor's Bell, a place of ultimate desolation."

"Since the moment of demise has arrived, the nine cauldrons are about to be destroyed, and the creatures of the Celestial Desolation Realm can finally escape to other worlds for refuge, no longer bound within this realm."

Speaking of this, the massive Demon Stone Stele chuckled and said, "Of course, if you are fearless and willing to join us in attacking the Eternal Pure Land at the moment of demise, I, Chi You, welcome you!"

It is evident that the final sentence is Chi You's own thought, not that of the Supreme God, Nwa.

However, Supreme God Nwa instructed Chi You to convey these words to Lu Heng Could it be true that Nwa is indeed alive in this world?

So, are all those beings beneath the Demon Stone also alive?

Lu Heng looked at Chi You with a complex expression and asked, "How much longer until the moment of demise arrives? How much time do we have left?"

Chi You replied, "The remaining time is no more than three hundred years What about you? Do you have any good plans?"

The Demon Stone Stele carried a hint of anticipation.

However, this time left Lu Heng speechless.

"In three hundred years" Over the course of more than a millennium, he had not been able to completely refine even the first divine fruit. And with only three hundred years remaining, it was simply insufficient for him to fully refine all thirty-six peaches.

It is quite evident that, prior to the arrival of the moment of demise, Lu Heng is unable to regain his cultivation to its former glory.

And given his current state of strength, he only slightly surpasses the current ruler of the Nine Li, Chi You, in front of him. Even within the Demon Stone Stele, he can only barely be considered at the pinnacle.

What critical role can such cultivation prowess play in the decisive battle of the final doomsday?

Lu Heng's complexion appeared slightly somber.

And upon seeing Lu Heng's reaction, the Demon Stone Stele understood clearly, saying, "Lack of a solid plan is no issue. The Supreme God has strategized for billions of years and it is sufficient to handle the final battle of doomsday. As for you, being able to unite the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm and carry this last bloodline to seek refuge in the Starry Sky Tomb, it is already an immeasurable virtue."

"You are not a native creature of the Celestial Desolation Realm after all. Being able to protect the younger generation of our realm, we are immensely grateful."

"Of course, if one day you are able to regain your former cultivation and once again attain eternal enlightenment, I wouldn't mind if you come to help us seek revenge, eradicate a few realms or something Hahaha"

The enormous Demon Stone Stele burst into laughter and departed directly.

This time, Lu Heng didn't intervene and stood silently in the void, watching as the colossal Demon Stone Stele vanished into the horizon.

And shortly afterwards, a blazing red light emerged from the east. The intense radiance, resembling a scorching sun, illuminated this realm.

That was an immensely powerful holy fire, a blazing and burning flame, transforming into a palm-sized vermilion bird, perched in front of Lu Heng.

It appeared startled and uttered, "The Heavenly Lord Lu Heng?"

The Vermilion Bird asked, "How did you end up here?"

Lu Heng collected himself and respectfully replied, "Greetings, Fire God. Are you here seeking the Lord of the Nine Li tribe, Chi You?"

The Vermilion Bird nodded and said, "Indeed, I sensed his presence just moments ago. However, as far as I know, Chi You had perished long ago May I inquire, Heavenly Lord, what transpired here?"

The Vermilion Bird was greatly perplexed.

So Lu Heng proceeded to provide the Vermilion Bird with a brief explanation of the events that had transpired earlier.

After listening to Lu Heng's account, the palm-sized Vermilion Bird became utterly bewildered.

"Supreme God is not dead? Chi You is not dead? None of those Divine Lords from the Heavenly Court died back then?"

"At the moment of termination the resounding Celestial Emperor's Bell the ultimate clash What a chaotic state of affairs is this? I merely slumbered for a period, and yet upon awakening, everything drastically changed. How is it that nobody bothered to inform me about such significant matters? I am also an esteemed Divine Lord of great importance within the Heavenly Court!"

The Vermilion Bird seemed to be greatly struck.

However, her mention of "slumbering for a period" caused Lu Heng to involuntarily twitch as of late.

After a prolonged moment of silent eye contact between the individual and the bird, the Vermilion Bird took the initiative to speak.

"Heavenly Lord Lu, what are your plans for the future? Do you also wish to participate in the battle of the apocalypse?" the Vermilion Bird inquired with great curiosity.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, fell into silence.

He gazed upon this once verdant and mysterious world, now drenched in eerie crimson, devoid of any trace of vitality, relentlessly swept away by the forces of annihilation. It had long transformed into a desolate wasteland, and he could no longer witness the familiar visage it once possessed.

However, three hundred years of time were not sufficient for him to fully refine all the divine fruits.

From Chi You's words, it can be inferred that even Chi You himself held a pessimistic view regarding the chances of victory in the battle of the ultimate end.

Given Lu Heng's current strength, it is utterly impossible for him to alter the course of the battle.

Originally, he had intended to stay behind and accompany the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, at the very least attempting to resist and kill a few enemies from the Seven Realms. But now, he found himself trapped in the purgatory, unable to even catch a glimpse of the enemy. The entire world had already been completely annihilated.

Is he now intending to lead the cultivators to seek refuge in the Starry Sky Tomb, refine the divine fruits, and then return? Or is he proudly braving his courage, taking the entirety of the Heavenly Court's cultivators to their final battle and certain doom?

The answer seems to be quite evident.
