"In the eyes of gods…"
"All beings within a divine world are nothing but playthings, livestock bred for their whims. They exist because the god wills it, and thus…"
"They are all fools!"
"They are blinded from birth by the lies of 'gods,' unable to see the truth of the world."
"While this may have some truth, are they really fools?"
"Not necessarily!"
At the bottom of the Endless Abyss, Chu Hao lifted his head.
"Even if they are deceived, their instinct to survive will drive them to fight for their world until their last breath…"
At this moment, the Endless Abyss had drawn close to the Assessment World.
A black-red whirlpool slowly dragged the golden mist of the world into itself.
"And in doing so, their counterattack will be terrifying!"
"They will use every means to eliminate any threat to their world!"

Above a small city near a dragon nest…
"(Dragon Tongue) Flames!" "(Dragon Tongue) Storm!"
In the skies above the dragon nest, Osiris, with unquestionable authority, crushed demon legions into dust one after another.
Even Abyssal demons at the legendary stage couldn't survive a minute under his dragon-speech magic!
Only peak legendary demons could mount a feeble resistance, and even that appeared pitiful against him.
"Hmph!"
"Damned fallen ones!"
Osiris' golden vertical pupils flashed with unimaginable disgust.
Boom!
He dropped from the sky, crushing a legendary flame demon wreaking havoc in the city beneath his feet.
The demon erupted with lava and fire, engulfing Osiris briefly.
But once the smoke cleared, Osiris, black-scaled and imposing, looked at the demon with disdain.
As the bearer of flame dominion, he feared no flame that seemed trivial to him.
"Filthy alien creature, ready to meet death?"
Sparks flew from his mouth.
A hint of savagery gleamed in his eyes.
He was prepared to annihilate any who dared pollute his land.
But at that moment…
An arrow struck his eyelid!
Ding!
Ridiculously, the arrow couldn't penetrate his scales, clinking against them and falling to the ground powerless.
"!"
Furious, Osiris crushed the dragon-blooded attacker's head, letting molten blood and venom splash over him.
"Who dares?"
Turning his head, he was shocked to see the attacker was a dragon-blood warrior—once sharing his own bloodline!
Now, the warrior had been corrupted by the Endless Abyss.
Pustules crawled across its scales, and inside, bloodline disorder caused atavistic mutations.
Previously weak and exposed to the Abyss too long, the warrior's soul now belonged entirely to the Abyss.
Yet even so, Osiris could sense the bloodline within—it was his own!
And this blooded servant, meant to worship him eternally, had just dared to strike the great Osiris?
"You…!"
With raw fury, Osiris struck the warrior and the blackened ground beneath it into ash.
"Corrupted vermin!"
But in the next instant, even battle-hardened Osiris sensed something was wrong.
All surviving beings in this city—both Abyssal invaders and remaining "civilians"—turned against him.
At this moment, Osiris realized the truth.
The city he intended to "save" had already fallen.
It now belonged to another "civilization."
Faced with an overwhelming tide of attacks, Osiris did not defend himself.
He arrogantly walked among the crowd, examining a few corrupted dragon-blood warriors.
"How is this possible? Their souls… completely corrupted."
In his view, the depths of their souls, where the "seed of faith" once resided, were now blackened.
These beings were beyond saving.
All had fallen.
This was the horror of the Endless Abyss.
Every land touched by the demons carried residual corruption, impossible to fully cleanse.
The blood of the demons—or rather, the Abyss' chosen "kin"—alone could taint a land.
Their souls bore the mark of the Endless Abyss.
Any life inhabiting these corrupted lands became intimately exposed to the Abyss.
Ordinary beings could not resist its corruption!
At this moment, Osiris understood…
"Damn it. At this point, cleansing these corrupted creatures is pointless."
He crushed the dragon-blooded soldiers into blood with his hands, then rose into the sky, roaring.
A wave of terrifying dragon flames engulfed the city.
In an instant, the dragon nest's subsidiary city became burning ruins.
Osiris raised his head, eyes fixed on the horizon.
At the edge of their world, a black-red whirlpool approached.
"To completely end this disaster, I must…"
"First destroy that world itself!"
And many others shared his thought.
More and more powerful warriors realized a terrifying truth amid the struggle with the demons.
Any land invaded by the Abyss could not be reclaimed by force.
Even if reclaimed, the Abyss' nature rendered it useless.
To win this war, the strong of the Assessment World must first destroy the source corrupting souls…
The Endless Abyss.
Chu Hao's true task was defending against these furious forces.
At the same time, countless "traps" had been laid, waiting for the wrathful souls to step into them.
