That was an unimaginable being, whose aura shared the same origin as the divinity within him... yet was many times stronger.
He stood there quietly, as if no matter how time passed, he would not change, eternal and unique.
“How could this be? This familiar feeling,” the Holy Lord’s blood-red eyes suddenly widened. “Could it be that the power within me originates from you… How could this be? What kind of monster are you?”
Even that figure shrouded in mist, mysterious and powerful, was not one to surrender. Yet… no matter how he struggled, it was all in vain…
He was gradually swallowed up by the endless darkness and mist.
“Interesting.” Su Han pondered quietly, “The evil god power that the Holy Lord provided to me is not much different from that enormous evil entity in the Fog City of the sub-plane… but because it is the divinity of an evil god, it is purer.”
The Holy Lord is indeed not weak. Before he devoured the divinity of the evil god, he was a demon lord who reigned over the world. After that, needless to say, he possessed the terrifying power to destroy an entire continent.
However, he happened to encounter a group of people who defied convention.
Let alone Su Han, Madara Uchiha and Whitebeard already possess power comparable to a demigod in the real world. Even if they couldn't completely shatter the Earth beneath their feet, they believed they could unleash a cataclysmic disaster that wiped out all civilizations on the surface with just a few moves.
"Wait a minute... what is this feeling?" Su Han suddenly realized something, his expression turning strange. He felt a completely new power within his body. It consisted of the Holy Lord's fiery aura... and the power of the twelve talismans.
"...An unexpected bonus."
Although Su Han was powerful in the past, he still faced the possibility of death. Of course, entering Six Paths Mode would greatly reduce his chances of death, as he would possess regenerative abilities far surpassing those of mortals.
But now he can truly say that he has immortality... and the healing horse is also of great help.
From this moment forward, unless someone kills Su Han in one move, he can continue fighting indefinitely.
"Phew." Su Han let out a long breath, his heart filled with joy. In his view... the greatest gain this time was the twelve talismans, a gain that even surpassed the evil god's divinity within the Holy Lord...
Just as he was pondering, the battle gradually came to an end.
Finally, the seven remaining demons fell. The Wind Demon, Howling Wind, in his dying moments, attempted a final gamble, trying to ambush Jade and the Ancient One, but was ultimately killed and sacrificed by the Ancient One in just a few moves.
The Ancient One opened the mirror world, and the group returned to Shendu's dilapidated palace.
"You...we...what is this?" Chen Long stammered, his mind reeling. He looked around at the familiar yet strange palace, still unable to believe it was real.
“So next,” Xiaoyu clenched her fist, “we’re going to search for the Book of Time.”
Su Han narrowed his eyes and drew a circle in front of him with his finger.
His spiritual power was too strong; amplified by his Observation Haki... even the entire Kangaroo Kingdom was within his perception range. Naturally, it was easy for him to find historical records.
“This is…” Ancient One’s gaze sharpened, her brows furrowing slightly. But before she could speak, Tony Stark said in a low voice, “I will explain it to you when we get back.”
After a brief silence, the Ancient One nodded knowingly and followed the group inside.
"We've really arrived." Xiaoyu's face was filled with joy. After looking around, she skipped and hopped to the Book of Time, opened it, and began to write with pen and ink.
Su Han stared at the history book of time. He vaguely sensed something was amiss. After a moment's thought, he immediately used the divine authority of the misty space to observe. "Wait... this feeling is... I see, no wonder... this explains everything."
The moment Xiaoyu put down her pen, the world changed dramatically.
Chen Long's clothes instantly transformed into modern ones, and he looked confused and bewildered. "What's going on with these memories in my mind?"
"Uncle Long! Uncle Long!" Xiaoyu ran up to Chen Long to boast, "I specially preserved your memories. How about that? My friends and I saved the world! Don't treat me like a child anymore."
After a brief silence, Chen Long grabbed Xiao Yu by the back of her collar. Xiao Yu panicked immediately, "What are you doing... Don't repay kindness with enmity, Uncle Long!"

Chapter 265 The Truth in the Book of History? Facing the Will of the World! (Fifth Update)
"Seriously, do you know how worried this makes people?" Chen Long opened his mouth, he had a lot to say, but all the words got stuck in his throat.
After a long silence, Chen Long glanced at the dejected Xiao Yu, sighed, and then his voice softened, "However, Xiao Yu... I am very proud of you."
"Huh?!" Xiaoyu, who thought she was about to be lectured, was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
Chen Long put Xiao Yu down and came to Su Han and the others. He bowed deeply to them and said sincerely, "Thank you very much... Although I don't know the relationship between you and Xiao Yu... I still remember how you took care of me and Xiao Yu before."
“As fellow members of the council, it is our duty to care for the vulnerable,” Gu Yi said gently.
"But I still want to thank you properly." Chen Long's attitude was very firm, and he bowed again.
“Fine,” Tony Stark said lazily, removing his Sorcerer Supreme armor, which he then condensed into a card and stuffed into his pocket. “We don’t have anything else to do in this world… let’s just go back.”
"Also, you two need to take good care of the History Book from now on. Make sure nothing else happens to it!"
"Don't worry," Xiaoyu said with a very serious expression.
Chen Long recalled what had happened before and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Xiaoyu," Su Han suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Number Ten?" Xiaoyu looked at Su Han with some confusion.
"The history books of your world... are very peculiar. You could even say that they are the embodiment of the world's origin." Su Han's voice was completely calm, and he did not hide what he had discovered.
A brief silence fell over the scene.
Tony Stark froze, then abruptly turned to stare at the history books, his expression shifting. "This... how... how is this possible?"
"Although it was unexpected, upon closer reflection... it's quite normal." Rukia Kuchiki said solemnly, "The Book of Time possesses the power to rewrite the world... which means that this book has an extremely profound connection with this world. You could even say that it is a manifestation of the essence of the world!"
