Chapter 1410: Desperate Roar

Zhao Yi was stunned.

He was about to step into the factory when, the next second, an earth-shattering roar came from the distant sky!!

Boom—!!

This roar was so loud that even Zhao Yi was startled. He looked back abruptly and saw a crack that almost pierced the entire sky of the Nanhai Realm extending from the position of a certain breathing vent...

"This is..." Zhao Yi widened his eyes in disbelief.

At this moment,

the sky cracked, and despair roared.

……

Ferocious cracks extended along the giant turtle's shell, and the text characters on its surface continuously shattered. On the surface of the shell in the Gray Realm, an aged figure suddenly opened his eyes!

"Bad..." The Pu family ancestor looked at the crack that had pierced through from beneath his feet, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Since the death of the giant turtle that carried the Nanhai Realm, for the past few months, this contemporary Book God Path demigod had spent almost all his energy on repairing and reinforcing the Nanhai shell. The Book God Path was inherently good at positional warfare, let alone when a demigod took action.

Therefore, within just a few short months, the Nanhai Realm had been built into a true super fortress. Even if the Forbidden Sea attacked like crazy, and even if so many Eighth-Order Calamities were frantically attacking the surface of the shell, the Nanhai Realm remained as stable as a rock... This was also the main factor why Chu Changqing dared to temporarily put down the Nanhai Realm and go alone to support the Cangyun Realm.

They had long been prepared in advance; even if the Calamity of Wrath attacked personally, the shell of the Nanhai Realm could hold out for quite a long time!

But this absolute defensive capability was limited to the exterior of the turtle shell.

For the Nanhai Realm, the sky above their heads was still the original sky, without any Book God Path power applied to it. This defense was as solid as a rock to the outside, but to the inside, it was extremely fragile.

The Pu family ancestor would never have thought that the perfect defense he had poured his heart and blood into would be broken from within the Nanhai Realm!

"How could this happen?"

The Pu family ancestor’s expression shifted rapidly. Just as he raised his hand, attempting to salvage the situation, a low, hair-raising roar erupted from the distance, accompanied by a massive wave of frost that seemed to freeze everything in its path!

Hum—!

The bone-chilling frost swept across the Gray Realm, instantly encasing thousands of miles in ice. A towering tsunami surged from the distance, reaching toward the clouds. Within those surging waves, a giant eye, resembling a dark sun in the deep sea, opened in silence…

A vast, murderous aura of world-ending destruction, like a ferocious beast that had been waiting in the darkness for a long time, bared its fangs in that very instant!

……

A piercing alarm echoed throughout the South Sea government.

The Blind Man rushed to the third-floor balcony. His tightly shut eyes seemed to perceive something, staring fixedly toward the direction where the sky had cracked open. At the same time, a series of booming explosions erupted from various locations across the South Sea Realm!

Boom, boom, boom—!!

Fire erupted and thick smoke billowed. The Blind Man could not see the explosions, and the dense, thunderous sounds were like lightning striking flat ground, making it impossible to discern their origin.

The Blind Man’s chest heaved violently. His fingertips danced as he tried to calculate something… With his Eighth-Order Divination ability, it was impossible for him to be in such a pathetic state, yet no matter how he divined, he could get no results, as if something in the void had shielded everything.

"Someone come here!!! Tell me what is happening?!" the Blind Man roared in frustration.

"The... the sky... the sky has cracked open!" a government official standing beside him stared at the scene before them, speaking in a daze.

"What else?! Where the hell are these explosions coming from!!"

"It’s the granaries and water towers... and the field hospitals, the civilian hospitals... damn it, the armory has been bombed too!!"

"Attacking so many places at the same time?? Impossible... from the start of the war until now, not a single air vent should have been breached... How did they manage to..."

Before the Blind Man could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized something, his face turning as pale as paper.

His fists clenched abruptly!!

"We’ve been deceived... Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!" The Blind Man’s face was hideously distorted. He clawed at his hair frantically, as if wishing he could tear his own brain out and rip it to shreds. "I actually believed them... I am the eternal sinner of the South Sea Realm!!!!"

The sky collapsed amidst the roaring, and countless calamities descended along with the extreme cold wave.

More and more explosions erupted within the South Sea Realm, followed by the terrified and desperate cries of the populace. Even within the South Sea government, pillars of fire shot into the sky.

"Who... who exactly is it! They couldn't have acted this well... Who is manipulating everything behind the scenes?!!"

On the balcony, the Blind Man roared hysterically. His fingers moved frantically, and two lines of crimson blood flowed from the corners of his eyes as he began to forcibly divine at the cost of his own life.

The blood at the corners of his eyes gradually turned black, his vitality withered visibly, and deep wrinkles began to climb across his cheeks...

Within the Blind Man’s consciousness, a surging torrent gradually took shape—it was the River of Fate for the entire South Sea Realm. Every human, every possessor of a Divine Path, every blade of grass and tree, was struggling to cross this torrent...

As he invoked his Divination path at the cost of his life force, the Blind Man’s consciousness began to rise from the torrent. He looked down at the surging river, moving upstream, trying to find the source that was currently influencing the fate of this realm.

He struggled forward step by step in the void, but no matter how he searched, he could not find a single anomaly in the torrent.

"Nothing? Impossible... This is impossible... Where is it hiding?!"

His consciousness traced the threads of fate backward, from the start of the final battle, back several months to when the South Sea Realm was first attacked, and further back... He crossed the threshold of one year, five years, ten years, yet still found no shadow of the enemy.

It wasn't until he traced back nearly three hundred years, based on the history of the South Sea Realm, that he still found nothing...

The Blind Man’s life was nearly burnt out.

Just then, a faint, mocking laugh echoed in his mind.

The Blind Man froze.

Standing above the torrent of fate, for the first time, he thought to look up...

Above this branch of human fate that spanned three hundred years, a storm cloud as black as ink loomed high over the torrent.

It floated higher than the Blind Man, so high that even if he tilted his head back, he could barely see its full scope. He only knew that from some point over three hundred years ago, it had already cast this branch of human fate into its shadow... and at the end of this storm’s shadow lay the current South Sea Realm.

Seemingly sensing the Blind Man’s gaze, a pair of eerie, hollow eyes slowly opened within the surging storm.

Within the storm, Si Zai chuckled.
