He clenched his fist and swung it straight at Lu Shi.
Just then, Lu Shi's figure suddenly disappeared.
The fist paused for a second, and when it turned around, it realized that Lu Shi and Ye Bugui were standing in a separate space.
Ye Bugui, who had just been injured, has returned to full strength, this time only as a demon in the Plague Prison.
“While I cannot bring you into the void, I can bring them here,” Ye Bugui said through gritted teeth.
Han Ran and Mo Di, however, were too preoccupied to watch Lu Shi and the others' battle.
These underground creatures keep emerging, but they only have one life.
In the live stream, the initial enthusiasm was almost gone, and dark clouds once again gathered over everyone's heads.
"If I remember correctly, it's already five o'clock. In one hour, even if they kill the evil god, Earth will be gone."
"Kill the evil god? Even with President Ye being so strong and the Demon Lord unleashing his ultimate move, it's still useless!"
"God, that's God! How can a human possibly fight against the heavens!"
"Sigh, it would have been better to just give up from the start! Now we've been given hope only to be met with despair, what's the point!"
"Why would they do this? I really don't understand! Earth is perfectly fine, has this evil god gone mad, insisting on disrupting our peaceful lives!"
"Let it end quickly, destroy the world!"
The decline is evident, and this is no joke.
Even though Ye Bugui can constantly change spaces, the evil god can destroy a space instantly with just a wave of his fist.
They're just wasting their time and doing nothing of substance.
The demon died instantly, and Ye Bugui led Lu Shi into the underground hospital.
"A follower of the Black Tai Sui?"
The evil god looked down at the withered tree that had sprung up from the ground and was rushing towards him, without even the slightest fluctuation in his heart:
"Perhaps you don't know this, but Black Tai Sui is just one of my things."
With a gentle flick of the finger, the once withered tree suddenly grew vigorously, and crimson rosebuds sprouted from its decaying branches.
Countless petals soared into the air, transforming into the sharpest rain of swords, destroying yet another space.
Lu Shi, however, had already been secretly preparing a forbidden spell.
When he finally finished his preparations, countless ripples appeared in the dark sky, followed by dozens of bolts of lightning descending upon the world.
Each of these bolts of lightning, the moment they struck the ground, charred all the subterranean creatures within a mile radius with their splitting bolts of electricity.
The evil god, however, slammed his palm down onto the ground, causing the molten lava to leap out and converge into a net of rolling lava that absorbed all the heavenly lightning.
At that moment, a look of dejection finally appeared on Lu Shi's face.
He was very sad.
He used to yearn for death, but now he is incredibly sad.
Is this world coming to an end?
He had just found meaning in life in this world, and he longed to continue loving it...
The only solace was the thought that the person she loved most would die with her.
"It's finally over." The evil god seemed unsatisfied: "I've seen the limits of humanity. In that case, let Earth become history forever!"
Han Ran and Mo Di had already fallen to the ground, their bodies being torn apart by the creatures from the earth...
Everyone in the live stream fell silent; they couldn't hold back their tears, nor could they control their fear of impending death...
On Earth, an unknown curse is spreading widely, and everyone is clutching their own throats, as a strange external force is compelling them to take action...
Even Lu Shi was at a loss.
With spiritual energy depleted and forbidden spells rendered ineffective, even the Demon Lord was powerless to reverse the situation.
"Who said it's over!"
Ye Bugui got up from the ground, even though he had no intact skin left on his body and his consciousness was gradually fading, he still stood up.
Even if the bleeding doesn't stop.
“Lu Shi, you once told me that there was a cultivation method that involved absorbing the spiritual energy of others.”
"Now, absorb everything from me and become a god!"
Yes, Ye Bugui suddenly understood.
Since the evil gods repeatedly emphasize that humans are inferior to gods, what if they create gods?
Lu Shi was only one step away from ascending to immortality.
“But…” Lu Shi was stunned; this idea was too crazy.
Regardless of whether he knows this technique, it is also questionable whether Ye Bugui possesses any spiritual energy.
"Me too!" Han Ran refused to lie down anymore. She kicked the creature from the ground away, her eyes filled with blood: "Even if you want my life, you can take it too!"
"Hahaha," Modi laughed as he coughed up blood, "Who doesn't want to be a hero? Then take me with you! Lu Shi, become a god!"
The evil god watched the farce indifferently, without even trying to stop it.
After all, who doesn't enjoy seeing someone make a fool of themselves?
A note from the author:
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 118
☪ An End, A New Beginning
"To become a god..."
This was the first time Lu Shi had ever been so eager to become a god.
If becoming a god truly allows him to save everything, he would be willing to give up everything.
Inside Lu Shi's body, his heart was beating faster than usual.
It's as if it can't wait to fly out.
That's not all. When Lu Shi's gaze fell on Ye Bugui, he saw a dense, transparent gas above the other's head, which was clearly spiritual energy.
How could this be!
Lu Shi was shocked. The corners of his mouth gradually curled up, and his eyes even became fanatical.
Perhaps this method will be useful!
When he turned to look at Han Ran, he also saw spiritual energy, though it was not as rich as Ye Bugui's.
The evil god's finger twitched; it seemed to have noticed something amiss.
However, it was too late.
"Spiritual energy, gather it!"
He spread his arms and was now suspended in the air. His outstretched palms were like a giant vacuum cleaner, directly taking over all the spiritual energy surrounding the three people.
"My power has increased!"
Lu Shi was overjoyed, unaware that he had been stuck at this level for many years and even felt that he had no hope of advancing.
But now, to Lu Shi's surprise, he has regained his power.
That feeling was so wonderful.
"Oh, it looks like it really works."
Although the result was unexpected, the evil god still maintained his composure, his expression remaining calm as he attempted to conceal his restless heart.
"So what?" The evil god sneered, and with his giant hand outstretched, he reached out and grabbed at Lu Shi.
It's going to tear Lu Shi to shreds!
However, Lu Shi's power has increased, and his body has turned into a phantom, actually deceiving the evil god.
The evil god frowned. Lu Shi had truly become stronger. If it were the same Lu Shi from before, he would have already been captured by now, without even a chance to resist.
But now, it's clear that Lu Shi's power is constantly expanding.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually have a trick up your sleeve. But so what? Now everyone around you has been absorbed, yet you still haven't become a god."
Ye Bugui forced himself to stay alert, waved his arm helplessly, and looked at Lu Shi in the air:
"How could this be? Is it still a little short?"
Lu Shi fell silent.
He was unwilling to admit it, but it was indeed the truth; his current power was still no match for the evil god.
He is still an insurmountable distance from becoming a god.
When the giant hand reappeared behind him, Lu Shi didn't even have time to react, let alone dodge.
The palm struck Lu Shi squarely, causing him to fall to the ground, unable to get up.
“I’ve already said it,” the giant hand, like a five-fingered mountain, pressed down mercilessly on Lu Shi’s back: “Gods and men are different. But it’s already a miracle that you’ve pushed me to this point.”
"Damn it..." Lu Shi gritted his teeth, still unwilling to admit defeat: "Just a little bit more, I need more spiritual energy..."
In the live stream, countless viewers were moved by Lu Shi's stubborn expression on the screen.
At that moment, they almost spontaneously shouted, "Here you go, give me all my spiritual energy!"
"I'm also willing to contribute my share! You're not a demon lord, you're a great hero who saves the world!"
"Please, take my spiritual energy with you, carry my share of power with you on your journey!"
Even though no one believed that saying these things here would change the situation, they did it anyway.
They were not only supporting Lu Shi, but also encouraging themselves.
Even if they are going to die, they should die standing up!
