Southern Continent
Wang Xueyao started fading from the world. But was she truly fading?
No! In fact, Her existence has gone beyond what this world could hold. It is like trying to contain a three-dimensional object within a two-dimensional space. Divine Spirit World was incapable of holding her.
Immortal Zhu was shocked at the situation.
"How could it be? No, you are not a clone! You are her! But why would you place yourself here? A being like you, whom countless people revere! Why would you bind yourself to a nobody like him?"
Wang Xueyao's eyes contained infinite anger. She glanced at him and said lightly, "There is no need for a dead person like you to know."
She thought of the guy she met during the Monarch Inheritance and continued, "Your leader was a smart guy and understood when to interfere and when not to. It's a pity your greed overwhelmed your rationality!"
Immortal Zhu immediately knelt down in fear. "Please don't ki—"
His words didn't end before Wang Xueyao waved her hand and his entire body disappeared like ashes in the wind.
Wang Xueyao glanced at the rupturing Divine Spirit World and murmured, "Nine Absolute Seals: Fourth Seal Open."
Her strength grew beyond transcendence as she opened two more seals. She glanced at the Divine Spirit World and said lightly, "Heal!"
Her words were like an absolute order, and the entire Divine Spirit World, which was about to break apart, started recovering on its own. In less than a few seconds, it returned to its previous state. It wasn't just the Divine Spirit World, but countless universes that were destroyed due to her presence were restored, like broken glass fragments merging back into the original glass. These universes exist beyond the boundary of the Divine Spirit World!
Seeing its complete recovery, she glanced at Li Gang, who was still in a blank state, with her deep gaze. "You really love to court death, don't you?"
At that time, another Immortal appeared behind her. It was unknown to whom she was talking, but he felt infinite coldness from her words.
"It was my fault as a leader that such a circumstance arose. Please forgive me!" He knelt behind her, not daring to look at her.
Wang Xueyao said lightly, "I don't care what plot you use. If he fails, then it is because he is incapable. However, my order is absolute. No Immortal shall interfere directly with a Small World."
She was still looking at the Divine Spirit World and continued, "If there is nothing else, you can leave."
The Immortal immediately nodded and left.
Wang Xueyao murmured, "I can only help this much. The rest is up to you! Everything has gone according to the plan so far, I must succeed this time."
A Few Days Later, Jade Harbor City, Southern Continent
Li Gang finally woke up from his abnormal state. His whole body was bleeding, internally and externally. Even his bones were fractured.
He glanced at his surroundings, and wherever his eyes fell, only corpses and rivers of blood were seen. At that moment, his brain was flooded with memories. He felt pain but didn't make a single sound.
He remembered how he entered that abnormal state, the sudden pressure he felt out of nowhere for a moment, how he traveled all the way to Jade Harbor City, and massacred everyone he met.
From Azure Mountain to Jade Harbor City, there is a gap of a few hundred thousand miles. He traveled all that distance in just two days and massacred every being that came his way.
Jade Harbor City had turned from heaven to hell!
Li Gang, however, was still in a trance that someone close to him had died. At the same time, he felt complex emotions about what he had done. In his entire life, he had only killed one person personally. He was ready to kill anyone indirectly, but for some reason, he never wished to kill anyone personally. He was disgusted by it. But after this incident, all his disgust swept away.
He thought about his family and murmured, "Rest in peace, father, mother. If there were a way, I would have definitely searched to revive you. But this world is beyond the concept of life and death."
Li Gang wanted to revive them, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as revival from death in this world. In this world, people don't simply die; their very existence is erased. No one can revive them. Some people may think using Time Dao, one can go back in time and revive them. But the Divine Spirit World has no past, no future. It has only the present. You can only slow down or speed up the time flow; however, you can never go back in time. Not because of a lack of abilities, but because the past itself doesn't exist.

Li Gang's eyes glanced at the sky, and as if he made up his mind, his gaze became sharp. He remembered that pressure he felt, he remembered the giant hand, and he remembered the mysterious object in his soul.
He murmured inwardly, "So this is the reason you have been spying on me! You..."
He was about to think of something but suppressed his thoughts and instantly changed his thoughts in another direction for some reason.
"I have never been to Jade Harbor City, even if I wanted revenge and even if I have seen the location of Jade Harbor City how could I come here? At that time, I was just a mindless monster! How could I reach this place?"
Wang Xueyao as if felt something, smiled at that moment and then after glancing the last time at Divine Spirit World, she disappeared without a trace.
As Li Gang was pondering this, a young woman's voice sounded behind him, "Elder Brother!"Li Gang glanced back. He recognized her. It was Huang Ling.
Huang Ling looked at Li Gang's entire body and was shocked. He was thoroughly injured but still standing like nothing happened. Of course, only Li Gang knows how much pain he is in!
Li Gang was surprised at her presence and asked, "How are you still alive?"
Huang Ling said calmly, "I hid myself! You only killed those who appeared in your vision."
Li Gang murmured inwardly. 'So many others should also have survived and fled away.
Huang Ling asked. "Elder Brother, you are injured. Please come with me, I have already called Yu Xong."
Li Gang nodded.
Soon, they came to a house, the only house still standing in the entire Jade Harbor City.In that abnormal state, Li Gang's battle prowess reached Rank 8 mid-stage. He not only slaughtered the entire city but also fought with the Spirit Dragon Clan, Shadow Phoenix Sect, Thunderous Peak Sect, and Moonlight Sect heads jointly and killed two of them. The heads of the Shadow Phoenix Sect and Thunderous Peak Sect escaped after being badly injured.
A Few Hours Later
Li Yuxong arrived at the place. He was shocked to see the tragedy before his eyes. He couldn't believe that in just a few days, the entire Jade Harbor City was destroyed to this extent.
"Was it because of that Giant Hand?"
This was the only thought in his mind.
He entered the house and saw Li Gang, and was surprised. "Elder Brother!"
He felt complex emotions seeing him. He couldn't even protect his own family, and now Li Gang was his only blood relative in this world.
Li Gang glanced at him and said, "Heal me."
Li Yuxong was surprised and nodded. He started healing him.
Although his Spiritual Imprint is not efficient in healing others, it is still wood type. Li Yuxong had learned healing techniques even 10 years back, and now he must have improved even more.
Li Gang glanced at Yuxong and murmured inwardly, 'He is strong. I need to push my plans for later.'
Li Gang asked lightly, "Tell me, how did they die?"
Li Yuxong replied calmly, "Do you remember Huang Shu?"
Li Gang glanced back at Li Yuxong, and then his face turned serious. "Don't say anymore. I understand how they died."
Saying that, he laughed. His laugh was self-blaming. "To think he would survive after being surrounded by so many Rank 5 beasts. Lucky bastard!"
Huang Ling replied, "Your plan was foolproof, but you underestimated someone. Huang Weimin was always unaware of your schemes. He only thought you were helping him, and the one who knew about your true colors was Huang Shu. Huang Shu was an illegitimate son of the Shadow Phoenix Sect leader, and so, he had a trump card to save his life. He also knew about your identity from the beginning, since he was the true leader of the Shadow Phoenix Faction. Huang Weimin was a leader only on the surface."
"The Moonlight Sect was most desperate to find your identity since their Holy Daughter died. Huang Shu framed you for that. In fact, he could have also asked the Shadow Phoenix Sect to destroy the Li family, but because of my interference, they didn't succeed and only agreed to capture you. But the Moonlight Sect had no mercy and they killed everyone."
Li Yuxong was also angry at Li Gang. It was all because of Li Gang that they died. But he knows Li Gang didn't do it on purpose and he was also the only blood relative left in his family.
Li Gang said, "You are right except for one thing. Huang Shu didn't frame me, I killed Tang Liuyue."
Huang Ling was shocked. "How is that possible? You were participating in the inheritance at that time, how could you kill her?"
Li Gang replied calmly, "As soon as I suspected her, I had already poisoned her with a Rank 5 Poison. This poison only works when the affected person uses a large amount of Spiritual Essence. It affects their nervous system and paralyzes them. I had planned on giving her the antidote if my suspicion proved untrue, but unlucky for her."
He sighed. "Ultimately I failed. If only I had realized Huang Shu's status was on par with you! To think he was illegitimate son of the Sect Leader."
A Few Days Later
Li Gang was finally healed completely.
Li Yuxong has reached Rank 6 early stage, and Huang Ling has reached Rank 6 mid-stage. Li Yuxong has become the Holy Son of Heaven's Hand Sect. Meanwhile, Huang Ling was put on detention in the Shadow Phoenix Sect, because of which, her cultivation was hindered.
Li Yuxong wants to develop the Li family again. However, before that, he would cultivate diligently in Heaven's Hand Sect. Huang Ling would also join Heaven's Hand Sect.
Li Gang would return to the Central Continent and from there, he would leave for the Northern Continent. The Central Continent and Northern Continent are closer to each other.
The whole Divine Spirit World has undergone earth-shaking changes due to the Giant Hand and Wang Xueyao. This tragedy had already been named The Giant Hand Catastrophe. Countless people died in this tragedy!
Yet, who would have expected that after this Giant Hand Catastrophe, the Great Emperor Era would usher in, in which multiple talents would appear to strive for the Emperor's position. Be it the two great couples of the Southern Continent, the shadow of the Western Continent, the Demon of the Northern Continent, the Conqueror of the Central Continent, or the Dragon of the Eastern Continent!
