Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1381 - 30: Rise of the Fourth Calamity

The Three Demons originally had little direct concept of this "Doomsday Tribulation". After all, before they were sealed, the Heavenly Court was still prosperous, and the three realms were running smoothly. Although there was some chaos, it did not pose a threat of world destruction.

No matter how fierce the three wreaked havoc, they merely brought disaster upon the Heavenly Court, with limited impact on the entire Great Thousand Worlds.

But when Emperor Shitian’s Star Boat flew out of the domain of the Nine Heavens Divine Court, truly returning to the Great Thousand Worlds, and saw the chaotic and broken doomsday scene outside the porthole, they immediately understood how tragic the meaning of "wasteland" was.

The Star Boat traveled through the void, below was a land full of wounds—giant cracks in the earth like hideous scars, crisscrossed; the mountains and rivers that should have existed either dried up into cracked deserts or were polluted by strange black substances; the sky was perpetually shrouded in gray dust, devoid of sun, moon, and stars; occasionally some twisted and mutated creatures could be seen crawling in the ruins, emitting inhuman roars.

The once vibrant world, now only dead silence and decay remain.

The Three Demons looked at the scene passing outside the porthole, rendered speechless for a moment.

Sun Xiaotian scratched his head and clicked his tongue: "These Saints are really worrisome, turning this colorful world into such a state. In the end, it’s left for us to clean up... Who could have imagined this outcome? I’m good at fighting and demolishing, but saving the world, this really is a first for me."

Li Xiaoyi had a look of schadenfreude, leaning against the porthole, watching with great interest: "Hehehe, those old immortals kept calling me ’Destructive Demon Child’, but what happened? They didn’t fare any better, did they! Look, look, the world is destroyed even more thoroughly than my original plan!"

Zhao Yu sighed, his expression complicated: "Forget it, forget those past matters. Now looking at this situation, it’s up to us three to handle it... Such a major responsibility."

The three of them adapted to their roles quickly.

"There’s no need to worry, everyone." Xiao Jie promptly interjected, "We ’players’ can also be helpful. Although our individual strength is not up to the level of you three masters, we have strength in numbers, and... we grow very quickly."

"Hopefully," Zhao Yu said, but his tone clearly showed he didn’t take it seriously. In his eyes, these so-called "players" were at best Heavenly Immortals, still tens of thousands of miles away from Daluo Golden Immortal. Saving the world? In the face of the Saints, they hardly qualify as cannon fodder.

Xiao Jie didn’t elaborate—facts speak louder than words. Once back to Embers City and letting the three masters see for themselves the formidable nature of the "player system," they would naturally change their view.

The Star Boat galloped through the gray vault of heaven, uncertain how long had passed.

Driving the Star Boat, Emperor Shitian suddenly shouted: "We’re here! Look quickly!"

The three brothers hurriedly looked out the porthole.

On the doomsday wasteland of dead silence, ahead finally appeared a streak of brightness—

It was a majestic city built along the mountain.

The Outer Circle of the city was enveloped in a light golden protective barrier, isolating the chaos and pollution from the outside world. Inside the barrier, one could see continuous pavilions and towers rising layer upon layer according to the mountain’s terrain, with flying eaves and carved beams and painted pillars, though not as lavish and grand as the Heavenly Court, still resembling the prosperous land of immortals from the past ages.

"Huh, is that Embers City?" Sun Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, "It certainly has some momentum."

The Star Boat drew a silver arc, heading towards the city.

Seeing this peculiarly shaped silver Star Boat flying overhead, many people in the city immediately noticed.

Emperor Shitian was quite a renowned figure in Embers City; many recognized his vehicle.

Although only over a thousand players—about one-tenth of Embers City’s total players—joined this "South Heavenly Gate Action," almost all players were paying attention to this action. Such a large-scale operation, regardless of success or failure, would greatly impact the entire Game World.

Previously, the news of the Sealing God Pillar group’s annihilation had already spread among players.

And the fact that the Nine Heavens Divine Court hid many ownerless Divine Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts had likewise become known to some Immortal Alliances.

Seeing Emperor Shitian’s Star Boat flying past—the players suddenly looked up at the sky.

Some were gleeful, while others were secretly pondering that Emperor Shitian might have amassed quite a fortune if he managed to return safely.

Players from the Nine Heavens Guild were already waiting above the square at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Seeing the Star Boat approaching, they were about to cheer and welcome him, but found that the Star Boat showed no signs of stopping and flew straight towards the depths of Embers City.

At this moment, the Star Boat was heading north towards the towering mountain wall at the northernmost part of Embers City.

Inside the cabin, Emperor Shitian eagerly said to the Three Demons: "Why don’t you come to my Immortal Alliance compound for a while? Though my place isn’t lavish, it’s still..."

"No need," Li Xiaoyi interrupted, pointing to the towering mountain wall at the northernmost of Embers City and asking, "What’s that place?"

Everyone followed his direction.

Embers City faces south and sits north, with the northernmost mountain wall soaring a thousand feet high, its entire body made of some kind of dark cyan rock, as steep as being shaved. And in the middle of the mountain wall, a huge mansion’s outline was prominently visible—it seemed to naturally grow from the mountain itself, integrating seamlessly with the mountain wall.

The mansion’s main gate was tens of meters tall, with a wide stone staircase leading to the ground, its overall style very simple and primitive, starkly contrasting with the delicately built palaces and pavilions around by players.
