Chapter 92 - Consequences

Yggdrasil was shaking and rumbling.

Everyone in the continent could feel and see something was happening to Yggdrasil. Golden and Silver Energy started to appear around Yggdrasil. This caused Yggdrasil to lit up like a Christmas tree as there countless lights around it.

Then the Golden and Silver Energy on Yggdrasil started to rush down on top of its bark. The boundless energy was similar to a destructive tsunami as it crashed down on both the land and ocean.

On one side the energy rush through the ocean and enveloping all of the sea-life forms. Every single sea beast became engulfed by the boundless energy causing their body to shine dazzlingly for a second and then go dim.

A giant silver sea serpent was moving through the sea gracefully and then stops as it felt something was changing in the world. It turned its head and saw goldish-silver energy engulfing everything around it.

Before it could do anything, the serpent body was also engulfed causing it to shine and then disappear. All the sea beasts that were around the serpent were shocked at what just happened with some thinking it was a dream or hallucination.

Yet this phenomenon wasn't just happening in the sea but also on the land and sky.

"Brother Yan, do you see this." Tang Yun mutter as he saw a gold and silver tsunami heading towards them.

Yet Xia Yan had no response as him and everyone around him was staring at the mighty tsunami in shock. At the moment they were waging their war with Yao Cai and through many sacrifices were able to gain the advantage.

But who would have thought that as soon as they gain the advantage, a tsunami decided to appear. This caused everyone including Yao Cai and his faction to stop fighting, as they stared in shock at the tsunami.

This tsunami wasn't normal in the slightest as they could feel unimaginable amount energy reverberating inside of it.

Some spirit beast tried to run, but it was futile as the tsunami simply swept past everyone and everything without a single pause.

The imminent tsunami kept on moving through the continent with nothing being able to escape it.

Tang Yun slowly opened his eyes and started to slowly get up. He began to look around and let out a sigh of relief at the fact that everyone was ok.

"Brother Yun, your ok." Said Xia Yan as he began moving toward Tang Yun, who only smiled at him and nodded his head.

"I wonder what happened." Mutter Tang Yun as he began looking all around.

It was then they heard a roar and saw the bloody Yao Cai charging at them. They both narrowed their eyes and began to summon their powers, but something was wrong.

Instead of an aura surrounding them, something else appeared in place. A giant ape appeared behind Xia Yun, while he began to grow a few meters taller with hair growing out of his body.

A large silver hammer appeared in Tang Yun hand as he was getting ready to twist his body to swing it.

They were shocked at this development, but that didn't stop Yao Cai from charging at them with hatred in his eyes. Tang Yun gritted his teeth and knew he could only hope this development wasn't bad as he knew he could stop his hammer as it was swinging toward Yao Cai.

Yao Cai body shined for a second as scales started to appear on his arms as he thrust them out towards the hammer coming at him.

Clang!

To Tang Yun shock, he saw Yao Cai being sent flying after hitting his hammer. Xia Yan eyes widen as he went towards Tang Yun.

"Elder brother, did you get stronger?" Questioned Xia Yan causing Tang Yun to shook his head.

"I don't think so. I think something else may have happened." Mutter Tang Yun as he knew his hammer lost its versatility but kept the same strength.

It was then they heard someone shouting out.

"What the hell is this."

Tang Yun and Xia Yan turned their head to the place where the voice came from. They saw a woman standing over the body of a dead spirit beast with a black bow in her hand. At first, they thought she meant her newfound power but then they saw what was in front of her.

It was a black ring.

The unclouded sky above them was bathed in brilliant red.

#

Yggdrasil roots were beginning to swell up, with the branches and bark starting to fall off. It was not incorrect to say Yggdrasil was dying as everything on this magnificent tree was crumbling.

All it needed was one final push before it could fully die.

It was then as if the heavens were answering that prayer, a blood-red giant sword pierce through the unclouded sky and slash Yggdrasil in half.

The enchanted sword engulfed the whole world in brilliant red as the sky above was shattered into pieces from the red-sword.

Then a figure slowly started to descent with a pressure that caused the beings in the world to completely freeze and look upward.

It was a handsome man, with silver hair and blood-red eyes. He wore a tight, long sleeve shirt with marking on it and over it was an armor covered with dark red magic patterns. In his hand was a blood-red sword, covered with dark golden magic lines, slender with a length of more than two meters.

Behind the man was nine blood-red rings that were shining prominently behind him.

'Death!'

'Fear!'

'God!'

Every single being whether they be in the sea, land or sky was shaking from the aura this man gave off. The man floated down to the ground and glared at the beings in front of him.

"Spirit Beast, it's time for your punishment." Said the man as his aura began to explode out.

Everyone thought his aura before was terrifying and thought it couldn't get any worse than that.

How wrong they were.

"Your punishment as of the consequence of the Dragon God actions but also inflicting cruelty that none should ever do to another being." Said the man as a demon with a smile appeared behind him.

"For this, you will be slaughtered." Said the man simply as he began raising his sword.

"Wait!"

The man turned his head to the voice that shouted out and saw it was a man with messy black hair, it was Tang Yun.

"Speak." Said the white-hair man causing Tang Yun to shiver.

"I understand you came here to punish them for what they have done, but you must understand, not all Spirit Beasts should be punished." Said Tang Yun hoping the god before him will heed his words.

The white-hair man narrowed his eyes at Tang Yun but before he could respond the sky above them became bathed in purple and black. The humans and spirit beast turned their head toward Yggdrasil.

To their shock, they saw Yggdrasil being engulfed by the black and purple energy before miraculously disappearing from the world. The white-hair man didn't even twitch from the apparent destruction of Yggdrasil and only said a few words out loud.

"I thought you guys were busy with repairing the divine realm."

"We were, but I didn't think you would rush here as soon as that tree powers to keep us out of this world went down. My wife had to stay back to give us a chance to follow you." Said the handsome man with black hair.

"Of course I rush down here, it's not like we know the reason why it went down in the first place." Said the white-hair man.

"It's a good thing we came, what you were about to do would be terrible." Said the green-hair woman causing the man with purple hair to furrow his brows.

"I don't think what the Asura god plan to do is wrong." Causing the green-hair women to glare at him.

"It doesn't matter now, as it seems something happens while we were restrained from entering this place." Said the black-hair man as he notices how some of the humans and spirit beast look like they were helping each other.

"You, tells us what happened." Said the white-hair man as he returned his gaze toward Tang Yun.

Tang Yun gulp but steeled himself as he began to tell the gods about everything that happened from the start of the revolution to everything now.

"I see, so it seems the humans were able to fight back." Mutter the purple-haired man.

"Not only that but there were Spirit Beasts that were helping out the humans." Said the green-hair women.

The black-haired man nodded his head and with a faint smile said.

"Alright, I guess we don't need to interfere with that."

Hearing the words of the black-haired man cause the spirit beasts to let out a sigh but then the words of the white-hair man shattered their evident relief.

"Now, it's time to move on to the other punishment."

"Is this necessary? It wasn't like it was their fault." Said the green-hair woman as she sent a glance to the white-hair man.

"You know this has to be done, or something like the Dragon God incident may happen again." Said the purple-haired man as he slowly went over to the green-hair women and brought her into his embrace.

The black-haired man looked at the mortals around him and then sighed.

"Let's do this."

The humans and spirit beast watch as the four gods before them rose their hand up and then it started to shine.

"All spirit beasts now and forever in the future will now be inflicted with this seal."

"No spirit beast is allowed to become God!"

"No Spirit Beast is allowed to live forever!"

The humans around the spirit beast watch in shock as complex chains erupted from the eternal heaven and earth that began to pierce the spirit beasts bodies. Seals started to surround the spirit beast body before it then disappears.

"Let us hurry back now." Said the black-hair man as he began ascending upward to the sky. The three other gods behind began to follow.

The spirit beast and humans watch as the gods pass through the broken sky, which then began to fix itself.

It was this event that led to the fierce struggle of spirit beasts and the rise of humanity.

A cool breeze was passing through a small valley.

The valley had lush green vegetation with a dense, life source. The pleasant fragrance of plants and flowers filled the air with a sweet scent.

Yet the most awe-inspiring thing in the small valley was the towering tree at the center.

The tree was so massive its leaves and branches seemed boundless. A large treehouse was built under it that was completely supporting the massive tree's existence. A plaque inscribed with three large words were hanging on the treehouse.

The leaves on the tree swayed from the calm breeze and a serene sense of peace was reverberating through the area.

It was then a small dot started to appear in front of the towering tree. The glowing dot started to become bigger and bigger before it became as big as a small house.

Then space was raptured as only an endless void could be seen through the tear in space. It was only after a few seconds, that a being walks right through the tear in space.

He was a handsome man with goldish-white hair that had blue highlights in it. The man wore a gorgeous gold and black robe with sacred symbols on the back. In his hands was a glittering spear and trident that gave off a sense of other-worldliness.

Yet the most spectacular thing about this man was his multi-colored eyes that shined with vigor and holiness.

The man moved his head toward the towering tree and with a faint smile.

"I'm home."

It was a simple statement.

A statement to a towering tree that looks ordinary.

And it was that statement that caused the grass and plants around the man to light up.

The towering tree in front of the man exploded with a gentle wave of glorious light.
