Chapter 245: Destroying Myths

"What a gentle night, such brilliant light rain, such touching earthly fireworks. Everything is so beautiful, utterly intoxicating," said Sun Chengqian, raising a glass with the Sun family, their smiles reflecting the beams on the big screen.

"This is a visual feast, the splendor of the world at its peak. Rebellious transcendent beings, thinking to overturn the order of the new star? Wishful thinking," added another middle-aged man, his joy evident in the triumph of the night. The Sun family was solving all their problems in one stroke.

The group clinked their glasses, savoring a century-old wine, their smiles tinged with coldness as they watched the downfall of the transcendent beings.

"The new era's people have already bowed their heads, implanted with chips. This so-called transcendent being, Wang Xuan, overestimated himself. We refrained from using warships earlier to avoid excessive bloodshed on the new star. Now it's over. If he doesn't bow his so-called proud head, then he's just trash to be swept away!" someone declared, echoing the sentiments of most in the Sun family. Uncontrollable transcendent beings were ultimately the most unsettling and dangerous variables and had to be eliminated.

Recently, they had been restless, possessing the power to obliterate transcendent beings but restrained by the rules of the new star. But now, tranquility was restored.

The explosion at Yuan Chi Mountain shocked various factions. The beams of light, connecting heaven and earth, were immediately captured by various celestial eyes and detectors.

Organizations around the world were stunned, deploying defenses in anticipation of an unpredictable war. "People of this world, your audacity knows no bounds, daring to destroy the passage painstakingly constructed by the Celestial Immortals over many years. This shall not pass unavenged!" bellowed the indistinct figure from within the headless statue atop Yuan Chi Mountain, frantically attempting to preserve everything around him.

Amidst the rubble, copper plaques flew, broken bells tolled, and the foundation stones beneath glowed with intertwining runes and soaring light beams, enveloping the area.

However, the super energy beams from beyond the realm were too fearsome. Even as the transcendent materials boiled, they could not withstand such annihilating light. The rune light barrier dimmed, the mountain began to melt, and the surrounding lands crumbled into ruin. Only the mountain peak, shielded by transcendent forces, momentarily withstood the onslaught.

In the void, several broken flying swords emerged, buried in Yuan Chi Mountain, thrusting towards the sky. Unfortunately, being damaged artifacts, they were quickly shattered by the beams.

A broken bell clashed with a beam of light, its ringing causing the reddened mountains afar to explode, spewing lava waves. But the bell, not being a divine artifact and already flawed, burst apart in the beam, its fragments melting away.

The man within the headless statue, forcibly intervening in the mortal world, flickered with diminishing rune light, struggling to protect an ever-shrinking area.N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.

The few individuals present, living in the current era, were pale with fear. Without the protection of the headless statue, they would have perished long ago, unable to withstand such energy beams even as transcendent beings.

"Who dares commit deicide, to undertake such an act?" whispered a pale-faced Clarissa, enveloped in the halo of her crystal mirror. Terrified, she regretted her decision to steal the invitation. What was meant to be a mere gathering of transcendent beings had escalated into a catastrophic event.

Wang Xuan sipped his wine, sitting atop a mountain, watching the beams at the edge of the sky gradually fade away as the area surrounding Yuan Chi Mountain underwent a drastic change in landscape.

"The Immortals' intervention in the mortal world isn't as strong as I imagined. After all, they are too detached from the human realm," he remarked, pouring himself another drink. However, he knew that this event was not an end but a beginning. How could the Immortals let this pass, especially if they are on the brink of losing their glory in the last three years and becoming mortals?

"This has nothing to do with me. I'll just quietly observe," Wang Xuan said, making no move to visit the scene of destruction.

The area was completely annihilated, and he had no intention of inadvertently taking the blame by showing up there. He was aware that the Sun family would likely be targeted by the Immortals soon, and potential issues could arise. He remained ready, preparing to take advantage of any situation that might unfold at the Sun family's expense.

Members of the Sun family gathered around a large screen, witnessing and replaying the explosion at Yuan Chi Mountain.

"Such a spectacular explosion at Yuan Chi Mountain! Increase the volume of the blast, listen to the elegy of the superhumans. Yes, this penetrating sound is the most wonderful note," a member of the Sun family exclaimed, laughing heartily while raising a toast to the moon, bidding farewell to the superhumans.

Near Yuan Chi Mountain, numerous detectors appeared, along with small unmanned spacecraft and warships hovering in the sky. Tiny mechanical beings descended, all exploring the area to understand what had happened. Soon, some of the machines discovered glistening, newly cooled metallic lumps...

In the world behind the grand curtain, the man who had earlier appeared in the headless statue knelt on one knee beneath a peak, looking up at a palace above the clouds, trembling in fear. He knew he had failed. The important gateway he was guarding, crucial for their lineage, was utterly destroyed by mortals of the current world, severing an essential path.

Thunderbolts pierced the sky, sword lights crisscrossed, and the ground sank. The powerful entity in the magnificent palace amidst the clouds opened its eyes, seemingly causing the world to tilt. The merciless gaze pierced through the mist, making the kneeling man shiver uncontrollably, his body almost disintegrating.

His soul nearly shattered as he spoke with difficulty, "I'm willing to risk descending to the mortal realm. If I survive, I swear to make those people pay a bloody price, annihilating them!"

"Descend to the mortal world, become a mortal, and get killed by them?" The powerful entity in the clouds spoke coldly.

"I will find a way to annihilate those mortals and rebuild the gateway!" the man on the ground shivered, trembling even in the presence of this supreme being from behind the curtain.

"Three days. I want to see initial results. We don't have much time left," the formidable entity in the mist declared, a hint of weariness in its voice.

That night in the New Star world, near Yuan Chi Mountain, lightning and thunder roared, torrential rain poured, and blood-red lightning tore through the darkness, creating an eerie and spine-chilling atmosphere.
