Chapter 1699: The White Death.
A world god insisted, "There's nothing suspicious about it. His project was a scheme to make world gods help him win the era of conquest. He has won the era of conquest now, so he must make good on his promise. It is just like what he is currently doing for the Origin gods of his realm. I don't think there's anything to be worried about."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Even so, I still find something suspicious about it. It all starts with why he offended so many world gods for the Life trees. That's a very stupid decision that caused a lot of losses for him. If he hadn't made that decision, he wouldn't have needed the project at all. I think he was just looking for an excuse to make the project, so he picked the Life trees to defend."
"I see that you're a conspiracy nutjob. But so what if you are right? So what if it is suspicious. What other choice do you have apart from taking the bait?"
"Both of you should calm down. You're speaking as if the project is open to everyone. Do you even have slots for it?"
The world gods had vast distances between each other, but they could communicate as if they were close to each other. It was easy to do too, so it couldn't stop them from interfering with the invasion of their respective realm trees. But they didn't personally interfere in the realm
wars.
This is because of the realm lord. They didn't act directly because they were afraid of the realm lord. They are not sure if he will interfere if they do. But they are certain that if he interferes, they will lose their current world.
So the choice is to either risk their world to save their realm tree or do their barest minimum to save their realm tree. Again, it doesn't need much processing power to make an optimal decision.
The Monarch of high heaven has always been more special than other realm lords. Now he has become special among world gods. The power he has just displayed put fear in the heart of many world gods. So rather than draw his wrath, they preferred to support the defenders indirectly through resources and world fragments.
Their fear is warranted. After all, some of them still remember the scene where he used billions of the Authority of the void universe to fight a world god as a Supreme Origin god.
He couldn't control the Authority completely back then. But now he has a large world and millions of those Authorities. His power must be something that no world god can compare to.
Even though the world gods didn't interfere directly, their mere presence and the assistance they gave to the defenders of the realm were enough to change the tide of battle. Only Origin gods who had world gods on their side for the invasion, could compete. The rest were being defeated easily.
Some of the Origin gods decided to come together to form a coalition because of it. They wanted to help each other achieve their aim of subduing the realm trees. Very few of them could take on a realm tree on their own.
Those few who could take on a realm on their own are special. Most of them are Supreme Beasts of the Supreme Alliance, like the Mechanical Emperor, who is capable of refining a whole realm into firepower. But there are some from other races who managed on their own too.
One of them is the ancestor of the bloodline of soul fire. She is a battle sage monkey with red fur. She is the ancestor of Litori so Litori took after her looks. But she is using her true form now. The situation necessitated that she discard the shackles of form so that her concept could fly freely.
Her true form is that of a white flame. It is translucent and looks just about ready to die out. Any gust of wind might just be able to do the trick. But the fire didn't go out. It is burning in the void, just beyond the tear in the barrier of the realm tree, and it is growing larger by the
moment.
Eventually, she turned into a large ocean of fire with her body. It is her supreme law, so this manifestation is not harmless. All the fear, excitement, happiness, sadness, and emotions that the inhabitants of the realm are feeling are used as kindling for the fire.
It is why she is growing. She is using emotions to grow her fire. Then she began raining down fire on the realm. Every living thing below that the white fire touched died as their soul was burned. Both animals and plants with spirits were burned to death too. Their bodies weren't harmed, so they appeared to have fallen asleep.
Even Origin gods with immortal souls were not spared from this fire. Their soul force also burned, but they could still resist with their concept. This resistance ranged from 1 second for most Origin gods to 2 seconds for the best of them. Only immortals with Supreme Laws can nullify her attack. As for the rest of them, they died instantly and in droves.
Transcendents and others who have fused with their souls had their existence unraveled and scattered, so they didn't leave behind any corpses. As for mana entities and below, they died without knowing it and left their bodies behind. All activities within the realm ceased because of the rain of fire. Soon, the realm became lifeless.
A lot of people had died, but it was silent. No one would have even suspected anything if the Will of the realm had not been warning everyone in the realm of an existential calamity.
But her cries were for naught. It only served to rile up the inhabitants of the realm and provide fuel for the fire that would kill them.
The White Death didn't plan to let the realm rally its defenses against her, so she went out to kill everyone and everything within it quickly.
