The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 872: “Wei…Er!”
Time Cage!

[Archmage] had given up on asking [Dark God] to come and save him. His plan was to save himself.

There were two ways. One was to wait for a hundred years or so and use his strength to forcefully open the [Time Cage]. However, this method might not be effective because the Archmage could clearly sense that An Kai’s strength had changed a little “quickly” recently…

It was almost a change every year.

At the level of an Overgod, the speed at which his strength increased was still so fast that it made the Archmage envious.

This was also the reason why he felt that the first method might not work.

Based on An Kai’s speed of improvement, perhaps An Kai’s strength would be enough to imprison him for another hundred years after a hundred years.

Therefore, this method was slowly abandoned by the Archmage.

Now, he was waiting for the second method.

It was to consume a large amount of the foundation of the [Ninth Layer of the Divine Court: Divine Court’s Decision Center] so that it could not resist the pull of the True Spirit Space.

With his own strength, he could beat An Kai to death in the True Spirit Space before leaving.

If he did that, he would lose a portion of his foundation and be devoured by the True Spirit Space.

Due to the special nature of the True Spirit Space, the consumption of spells inside would be permanent and irreversible.

He could only rely on himself to recover in the future.

He didn’t want to use this plan, but the speed at which An Kai’s strength increased shocked the Archmage.

It made him completely understand one thing. He could not use conventional methods to deal with An Kai.

On the other hand, he was still imprisoned by the other party.

Now that the consumption of the [Ninth Layer of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] was increasing, it should have lasted for a hundred years. Now, there were only about fifty to sixty years left, and it was the work of the Archmage.

Even though he was imprisoned by the [Time Cage].

It could still make An Kai flustered.

It had to be said that An Kai was indeed troubled by the increased consumption of his foundation due to [Divine Court Level Nine: Divine Court Decision Center]. He thought about it but could not find the problem.

In the end, the question was fixed on the Archmage.

“Since I can’t find the problem, it must be caused by that dog, Archmage!”

An Kai believed that there was nothing wrong with his logic.

Time flew by.

The death toll of the gods continued to rise.

The good news was that there were fewer and fewer gods who had been lured into the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] by An Kai recently.

The bad news was that all the gods in the Chaos Space were almost dead.

As time passed and his strength increased, the stalemate between him and the Archmage God became easier for An Kai.

In the 20th year of the stalemate, An Kai could finally spare some time to check the daily side quest.

In the past 20 years, due to the existence of the Archmage, An Kai had no way to check the side quest and missed out on many developments in the Divine Realm.

Today was the first time he checked the side quest after 20 years of stalemate.

It would have been fine if he didn’t look, but when he did, he was shocked.

Immediately, he understood the reason in his heart. He curled his lips and muttered, “The Divine Realm’s subjective consciousness is so strong!”.

Among the top ten sub-missions that An Kai saw, two of them were about Dark God and Archmage God. Due to the Overgod’s privilege, An Kai couldn’t see them.

After that, the third input, which was originally about [God of Light], became about [Home of Kindness].

What was revealed was nothing else.

It was the message that the Home of Kindness was being targeted by the Divine Realm.

Natural disasters continued.

[Ring of Meditation] was on the verge of collapse.

The mournful wail echoed through the Chaos Sea and the sky above the [Ring of Meditation].

It sounded like a child wailing hoarsely or a madam’s sorrowful roar.

This was the grand funeral held by the Divine Realm for the [God of Light].

Fresh blood dyed this region of the Chaos Sea red.

An Kai had no doubt that if it weren’t for the [Meditation Ring], the Home of Kindness would have long been swallowed by the Divine Realm, which had a strong subjective meaning.

The rest were the other changes in the Divine Realm.

After the death of the [God of Light], the evolution of the Divine Realm seemed to have been paused and then began to reverse.

The most obvious change was that the energy of the Divine Realm was constantly being drained.

The strength of living beings did not advance but instead retreated. Several examples of the strength of powerful living beings declining appeared in the Divine World.

It caused the living beings of the Divine Realm to form a new set of values. They believed that as long as their strength did not decline, even if there was no improvement, they could still be regarded as geniuses.

This was because it was normal for most living beings to regress in strength every day.

For example, goblins were born with the strength of tier 8 or tier 9. After a few years, their strength would become tier 6 or even tier 5.

Only now did An Kai understand that the Overgod’s effect on the Divine Realm was indeed irreplaceable.

This was not the [Divine Court] sealing the Divine World.

When it was sealed by the [Divine Court], the energy of the Divine Realm did not disappear. Instead, it was temporarily hidden.

Now, this was a real loss of energy.

It was irreversible.

No wonder the Divine Realm went crazy.

An Kai actually felt that it was understandable.

“If the most powerful [Overgod: Archmage] dies again, what changes will happen to the Divine Realm?

“What exactly does the [Overgod] represent? Why is it that when one becomes an [Overgod], their power is limited?

“What is the connection between the divine realm and the Overgod?

“In my previous life, the Divine Realm I encountered was so weak because the Archmage killed the other Overgods?”

An Kai thought a lot after reading the [Side Story].

His heart was beating uncontrollably.

He felt that he had inadvertently discovered the greatest secret of the Divine Realm.

Then, he sensed the foundation of the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] and frowned.

The rate at which his foundation was decreasing continued to increase.

Based on the current speed, he would be pulled into the True Spirit Space in another twenty years or so…

Eighteen years later.

An Kai had miscalculated.

It didn’t even take twenty years.

In just 18 years, the foundation of the [Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision-making Center] had been exhausted.

This was even after he had used a large number of gods to replenish his foundation.

If not for that, it would have been consumed even faster.

[The Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] quickly collapsed.

This time, it was an irreversible collapse.

Even An Kai was unable to restore it.

When the [Ninth Layer of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] completely collapsed, it meant that there was no longer a figure of the [Ninth Layer of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision Center] in this world.

The collapse of the Divine Court’s Ninth Level: The Divine Court’s Decision-making Center didn’t hurt An Kai.

He focused on the Archmage’s expression.

When the [Ninth Layer of the Divine Court: The Decision-making Center of the Divine Court] completely collapsed, it was a small decisive battle between him and the [Archmage].

An Kai didn’t know if the [Time Cage] would still work after entering the True Spirit Space.

He was gambling again…

…

Inside the True Spirit Space.

A skinny figure walked toward the space where the sound came from with great difficulty.

It seemed like he was walking with difficulty, but in reality, every step he took was more than 10,000 meters.

So close, yet so far.

What was even stranger was that there was no energy in this person’s body.

Everything he did seemed to be based on the purest physical strength.

“Soon…Soon!

“I hope it’s not the person I imagined.”

The skinny figure was getting closer and closer to where An Kai and the others were.

Just as the skinny man sensed the familiar aura in the distance.

[Ninth Level of the Divine Court: The Divine Court’s Decision-making Center] completely collapsed!

The True Spirit Space turned into a ferocious beast and opened its bloody mouth at An Kai and the Archmage God!

The moment the [Time Cage] that enveloped the Archmage came into contact with the True Spirit Space, it emitted a piercing sound.

The space in the [Time Cage] was collapsing!

[Archmage], who was inside, laughed.

“My guess was correct!

“An Kai, let’s see how you’re going to get past me!”

[Archmage] laughed sinisterly, and his expression changed for the first time.

Witnessing the shattering of the [Time Cage] and his figure being pulled by the True Spirit Space, An Kai felt that the current situation was very troublesome…

A sense of urgency surfaced in his heart.

All An Kai could do was try his best.

“Bastard…An Kai?” Suddenly, a surprised shout sounded in the True Spirit Space.

An Kai suddenly turned around and saw the person who spoke. He was filled with disbelief…

“Wi…ll!”
