After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 484 - 188 Parting Embrace_2

When emotional impulses dominated Ahtal’s heart, they could drastically change his thoughts.

Thus reversing the fate of the burning Tree of Omniscience.

"I must be out of my mind to help you," the Goddess of Ingenuity muttered under her breath, her body sprouting blocks of various colors. As the blocks rearranged themselves, her appearance became identical to the All-Knowing Saintess, but the aura she exuded did not change. Instead, it was filled with a strong sense of discord.

"Let’s go." She gritted her teeth and activated her power, disappearing with the Love Goddess and reappearing before Ahtal.

"Hum!" The Sword of Light, ablaze with flames, fell and stopped just before the cheek of the Goddess of Ingenuity, nearly splitting her in two.

"Ahtal, I don’t want to burn the tree anymore," the Goddess of Ingenuity forced a smile, meeting Ahtal’s murderous gaze, and immediately activated her power to flee, daring not to linger.

But this was enough.

Although her methods were despicable, the Goddess of Ingenuity performed an incredible miracle. She truly stopped the King of Ash in his tracks and successfully escaped from his grasp.

This was a victory for the weak.

Taking the opportunity, the Love Goddess plunged the arrow she held into Ahtal’s shoulder, burying it deep into the flesh.

Power was activated instantly.

"Little god, what have you done to me?" Xi Mu reached out to grab the arrow in his shoulder, flames emitted from his fingers, instantly burning it to ash.

Seeing this, the Love Goddess displayed a smile of relief after the ordeal. She hadn’t been immediately killed by Ahtal, which meant her gamble had succeeded.

And the gods who were planned on attacking from all sides also stopped, and it seemed the course of the battle had taken an unexpected turn.

The Love Goddess replied, "I strengthened the... love in your heart."

"Such a boring trick," Xi Mu said coldly, while the Love Goddess lightly smiled and said to Ahtal:

"As a weak goddess, can I only use subtle tricks?"

"Let’s commend your cleverness," Xi Mu stretched out his hand, squeezing the Love Goddess’s neck, "Even though it was just for a moment, you indeed made me waver, thinking about giving up burning the Tree of Omniscience."

"It is a great honor indeed," the Love Goddess smiled, then showed a helpless expression, "King of Ash, haven’t you decided to give up on burning the tree yet?"

If this man truly loved the All-Knowing Saintess, why would he persist in carrying out the plan to burn the tree?

She then heard Ahtal explain.

"It is Eden’s choice," Xi Mu’s gaze was cold, "Since it is her choice, I will naturally respect it."

"Because you love her, you respect her choice?" the Love Goddess asked despairingly, feeling increased pressure on her neck, "You aren’t still firming up your resolve to burn the tree, are you?"

Xi Mu coldly said, "That’s right."

An unexpected development.

The Love Goddess showed a resigned smile, she thought that by stirring Ahtal’s affection, she could soften Ahtal’s resolve, but ironically, it only firmed up his resolve.

"Little god, you are the only deity who has shaken me," Xi Mu praised as usual, and immediately burned the Love Goddess to ash.

He then coldly glanced at the distant area.

And the Goddess of Ingenuity, hiding behind a distant rock, widened her eyes in terror, her legs went weak, and a warm liquid flowed down as she instinctively thought of fleeing.

However, just as she turned, light pierced through her chest; her consciousness quickly began to fade, and shortly her body was burned to ash.

Xi Mu lowered his hand, looking at the gods who resumed their attack, he let out a sigh of disappointment, as there were hardly any new gods coming to chastise him.

Even though he had given the Love Goddess a chance, it still didn’t encourage many gods to attack in a suicidal manner; obviously, they weren’t planning to die without meaning.

But this was very normal, this period had given most of the gods enough time to cool their heads, so it was unlikely for them to come to their death with no hope.

With this thought in mind.

"I don’t want to tangle with you anymore," Xi Mu raised his hand, and the Ash Fire in the sky converged into a sun. He also layered various properties of the Ash Fire, and the terrifying light and heat instantly engulfed everything.

Following that, the sun fell.

"Boom!" The light that burned everything spread with the sun’s explosion, and the gods beneath the Tree of Omniscience weren’t given a chance to escape; they were directly consumed by the light into ash.

The light then receded away.

Beneath the Tree of Omniscience, even the molten lava ground had become scorching hot, and the Tree itself began to show numerous scars, but despite this, the Tree of Omniscience continued to heal itself.

This was indeed the all-encompassing Tree of Omniscience, which is why beings capable of reaching demonic levels needed Ash Fire to burn it.

Ordinary attacks were meaningless against the Tree of Omniscience.

And at that moment,

Ash Fire circled back into the sky, reigniting and burning the Tree of Omniscience, this time without any gods to stop it.

The all-encompassing Tree of Omniscience began to crumble, its massive branches falling from the sky into the endless sea of fire.

Everywhere one looked, there were flames.

Xi Mu walked through the sea of fire to a stone doorway, where he saw Eden standing at the entrance, their eyes meeting.

"It ends now."

"Yes, thank you." Eden nodded slightly, then lifted her delicate hand, her palm becoming translucent and soon to disappear.

"What’s the deal with this knife?" Xi Mu approached Eden and looked at the long sword stuck in the ground, noticing an active eye at the hilt.

"It’s the Splitting Demon." Eden explained, "I used a curse to turn him into a weapon."

Xi Mu poked the eye at the hilt, "No wonder I’ve never heard from this guy."

"The abilities of the Splitting Demon are quite useful." Eden pulled the sword from the ground, "As long as the concept is clear, it can split anything, no matter what it is,"

Hearing this, Xi Mu showed no interest and casually said, "That’s an interesting ability."

"I’ve been thinking about what gift to thank you with." Eden said as she gently brushed her hair beside her ear, showing Ahtal a gentle smile:

"Then I thought of the Splitting Demon."

"The abilities of the Splitting Demon are quite interesting." Xi Mu glanced at the long sword and then shook his head, "But I’m not very interested."

Splitting Demon: "..."

If you weren’t interested, you should have said so earlier. He had never imagined that he was cursed by the All-Knowing Saintess and turned into a weapon because she wanted to give Ahtal a gift.

For such a ludicrous reason, this woman is too insulting.

"Now I no longer have the time to prepare a more suitable gift for you." Eden shook her head slightly, her voice tinged with a hint of apology.

"No, there’s one gift that would be perfect." Xi Mu smiled, "May I have a parting hug?"

"If that’s what you wish." Eden extended her arms and embraced Ahtal, the long sword she held also falling to the ground.

Transformed into a long sword, the Splitting Demon watched the burning Tree of Omniscience, then turned its eye to the man and woman embracing each other amid the flames.

Why didn’t the Ash Fire burn this couple as well?

"Oh, there’s something else I forgot to tell you." Eden, feeling herself about to disappear, hugged Ahtal tighter and whispered in his ear:

"Beneath the Tree of Omniscience, there are the original chosen, blessed with the grace of the God of Omniscience, please do not awaken them nor harm them."

Xi Mu went silent, then said, "You’re about to die, can’t you care a little more about yourself?"

"Because you’re caring for me, aren’t you?" Eden pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "That’s already very... very sufficient."

With those words, the person in Xi Mu’s arms disappeared and he lowered his head to look at the long sword that the Splitting Demon had become, picking it up.

Then his fingers gently brushed over the blade’s edge.

"Ah, this... is this a nightmare?" A woman emerged from deep within the stone doorway, her skin impossibly pale as if she had never seen sunlight.

Xi Mu glanced at the newly awakened original chosen, casually brandishing the long sword and decapitating her.

He then walked out through the stone doorway.

There were many original chosen beneath the Tree of Omniscience, all humans bestowed with great immortality and powerful strength by the God of Omniscience, usually immersed in dreams until awakened by the destruction of the Tree of Omniscience.

If players are interested in the earliest age, they can learn about the past of the God of Omniscience and Eden through the original chosen.
