128: This world...is ending!

Koukou Country, great hall.

Miyamoto Shixuan stood before the ancestral portrait, his eyes vacant, his face ashen.

Beside him, the short-statured Astrologer God Envoy also hung his head, his eyes filled with despair.

Miyamoto Shixuan gazed at the ancestral portrait before him, his knees weakened, and with a 'thump,' he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face as he looked at the portrait.

"Ancestor, please save me!"

He cried out, having run out of options.

Stellar grade, God-Controlling Path power—this was an absolutely insurmountable force.

For him, even if he exhausted Koukou Country's national fortune, even if the Nine Nations united, there was only one path: death.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Inside the great hall, Miyamoto Shixuan repeatedly kowtowed, his head hitting the ground.

The sounds echoed in the great hall, for an unknown duration.

"Alas..."

From within the portrait, a faint sigh suddenly emerged.

Immediately after, a faint human figure slowly floated out from it.

"Ancestor!"

The moment this phantom floated out, Miyamoto Shixuan immediately cried out, once again kowtowing heavily.

"Ancestor, please save Koukou Country!"

He wailed.

On Xu Fu's illusory face, a hint of weariness appeared.

Even he hadn't expected that in this era, God-Controlling Path power would truly emerge.

His expression became somewhat solemn as he gazed distantly at the Netherworld in the sky.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Prepare to flee into the abyss."

"This world... is about to end..."

Xu Fu's slightly weary voice slowly drifted out, then he slightly raised his head, looking up at the firmament.

Although the firmament was obscured by gray light, his gaze seemed capable of penetrating the gray light's concealment, and a hint of fear appeared in his expression.

A moment later, he sighed again, and his figure slowly vanished from where he stood.

... ...

"God-Controlling Path?"

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the profession panel before him.

This was the first time his profession had changed directly without going through the Path to the Nine Revolutions God transfer quest.

From the original Divine Embryo, it had become God-Controlling Path.

He had a rough guess in his heart: the evolution from Ancient grade to Stellar grade was itself a qualitative change.

Compared to the Ancient grade Bone Corpse, the Netherworld was true God-Controlling Path power.

The so-called God-Controlling Path should mean controlling gods and wielding the God-Controlling Path.

As he pondered, Qin Feng's gaze shifted to the divine ability information on the panel.

At this moment, the first divine ability finally appeared on the panel information.

"Book of Life and Death?"

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

The Netherworld combined with the Book of Life and Death naturally brought them to mind together.

So, was this a divine ability brought by the Netherworld?

He had a few guesses in his heart.

Just from the name Book of Life and Death, he could deduce its general function.

In his previous life, the Book of Life and Death governed the lifespan of the living world.

But in this life, something that could be called a divine ability shouldn't be as simple as just modifying lifespan.

Thinking of this, his gaze shifted slightly, and his thoughts focused on the divine ability, Book of Life and Death.

In an instant, detailed information slowly unfolded, and it was precisely at this moment.

A strong sense of dread suddenly swept over Qin Feng's entire body.

The massive portal of the Netherworld suddenly trembled, and the gray light covering heaven and earth abruptly split open, forming a crack.

Then.

In the firmament, an eye slowly opened.
