American Exorcism Male God

At the moment when the World Tree exhibited an anomaly, the clown Pennywise immediately seized the opportunity and teleported to escape the shackles of the roots.

West's brows were tightly furrowed. The trembling of the roots just now wasn't because of Pennywise's ability, but because there was something wrong with the World Tree itself.

Within the World Tree, Xu Yi had a Soul Split. He could see the situation of the World Tree more clearly than West and he immediately switched perspectives.

Outside the Ocean Base, the high-pressure seawater surrounded the quietly floating World Tree.

The World Tree and the Ring of Destruction merely had a cooperative relationship, and it appeared here only out of consideration for the regular nutrients provided.

That it had offered help with its roots was already more than could be asked, and it did not wish to squeeze into the narrow house.

At this moment, a massive shadow descended from above the sea, looking like a gigantic submarine aircraft carrier.

But as the shadow approached, Xu Yi finally saw clearly, it was actually an island, a pure black island.

Engraved beneath the island were giant symbols: fire, lightning, and ancient monuments.

Those were the symbols of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization.

The Ocean Base was invaded, and, of course, they called for reinforcements, but they had not expected the reinforcements to be an island.

Golden lightning gathered beneath the island, boiling seawater was instantly pushed aside, and in a flash, a vacuum appeared around the island.

The lightning struck down with a deafening crash, hitting the World Tree below, which trembled violently, its branches and leaves shaking.

Xu Yi's expression slightly changed, for he sensed the presence of a Domain amidst that golden lightning.

If the World Tree were in its prime or even just a "Mature Body," it could easily destroy the island above.

But now, it was only ten meters tall, which for it was nothing but a "Juvenile."

At this stage, its only goal was growth, and it did not want to waste energy on such trivial matters.

So, it made a decisive decision, withdrew its roots, and fled swiftly. It disappeared into the seabed in the blink of an eye.

In the factory of the base, West's brows were still tightly locked. With the loss of the World Tree's strong support, it was more difficult to deal with the rogue clown.

What's worse, he also spotted the island at sea.

The reinforcements from the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization had arrived, and if they stayed any longer, they feared they would be completely trapped.

West looked around and did not issue the order to retreat but instead took out a sack.

The sack was opened, and its contents were poured out on the ground. Xu Yi saw clearly what those were, and his face suddenly changed. Those were precious essences of souls.

He already knew what West was going to do, but he was powerless to stop it.

A grey fog suddenly swept the area, and an ancient door emerged within the mist.

The essences of the soul on the ground ignited simultaneously, and surging Soul Energy poured toward that door, which began to open slowly.

Everyone present felt a powerful suction they could not resist.

The only one who might have escaped was the rogue clown, but with his sanity completely lost and drawn to the scent of the soul essences, he actually went forward to snatch them.

This was no different than walking into a trap.

What West had summoned was, of course, the Soul Gate, and as its doors opened halfway, everyone present was swept inside.

All around was pitch black, and Xu Yi only felt himself falling continuously. He sighed inwardly, knowing the plan was doomed.

In this situation, it was simply impossible to continue harnessing dark energy.

Even this Soul Split would have to be abandoned here.

Behind the three Primordial Gates, there corresponded a world, and he had entered the Gate of Truth twice, narrowly escaping with his life.

One could imagine that the world behind the Soul Gate would definitely be equally terrifying.

Moreover, from the current situation, the Ring of Destruction still has some control over the Soul Gate, extinguishing even the last sliver of hope.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes but did not see Pennywise.

His consciousness core should have been inside Pennywise's body, but not seeing the other party probably meant he had been separated from it.

He looked around, and mirrors loomed in every direction, as if he were in a labyrinth of mirrors.

The mirrors reflected his figure, each one different—some showed him during his childhood, others in his youth... and some depicted his elder years, with white hair.

They lined up in the mirrors, like an abridgment of his life.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief because the reflections in the mirrors depicted the life of "Xu Yi" and not him from before he crossed over.

He pondered what terrible ability this mirror world might have.

At that moment, his reflections in the mirrors disappeared, replaced by a ferocious tsunami.

The tsunami was so vast it blotted out the sky, tirelessly pushing forward. Ahead of it lay vast stretches of land, but even extensive landmasses couldn't contend with the sea, and the land was crushed beneath the tsunami.

Cities upon the land were destroyed in an instant, and residents fled in terror.

Xu Yi's gaze reached farther, to the end of the land, where a towering column of magma burst forth into the sky. Molten rock fell away, revealing the massive, crimson arm within.

The scene stopped abruptly there, and footsteps sounded from behind. Xu Yi turned to look—West was slowly approaching him.

Xu Yi neither launched an attack nor took a defensive stance, because it was unnecessary.

To be the fish on the chopping block.

A failure must be acknowledged; this was someone else's domain, and resistance was futile.

Of course, he was as indifferent as a "pig being boiled," mainly because it was just a Soul Split that was present. If it died, it would at most lie dormant in the Dream World for some time. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

To Xu Yi's surprise, West also showed no intention to attack. He walked up beside Xu Yi and they stood shoulder to shoulder.

"Do you know what the images in the mirror represent?" West asked softly, his tone gentle as if two friends were chatting leisurely.

Xu Yi shook his head; he couldn't figure out what West was getting at.

"It's a prophecy, of future events that will take place."

Without waiting for Xu Yi to ask, West continued to explain, "The Soul Gate possesses the ability to foresee. Through these mirrors, one can occasionally glimpse fragments of the future. The scene you just saw is one such future event."

"Are you saying that in the near future, this land will be submerged by the sea?" Xu Yi furrowed his brow.

West shook his head, "Not just this land, but the entire world will be submerged by the sea."

"Like the legend says, God will unleash a great flood to destroy the world?"

Xu Yi felt heavy-hearted because he understood that what West said was quite probable, as the sea level was rising every day.

"Quite so, but it's not God who will destroy the world. The God of now doesn't have such great power."

West stared solemnly into the mirror.

Xu Yi instantly understood that the one who would destroy the world was the owner of the arm in the image.

He asked curiously, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Instead of answering directly, West brought up another topic.

"I lurked in the Well of Eternity for a long time, the core of the Ring of Destruction. I once had the chance to destroy the Ring, but I gave up and joined them. Do you know why?"

"Is it because of these prophecies?" Xu Yi could roughly guess the sequence of events.

"Exactly! The Ring of Destruction's creed is to kill the Destroyer of Worlds, to save the world at all costs!"

Suddenly, West turned his head and looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes, his expression earnest, "Join us! Together, we might be able to change everything!"
