Bitter Realm: Have the Four Realms been united today?

Chapter 12 The God-Demon Gamble: The Last Chance

"The Sun God did not want both sides to suffer heavy losses, so he proposed to use the world that he and the Abandoned Emperor had jointly created as the battlefield and set up a wager."

"The wager stipulated that no god or demon in the Six Heavens realm could interfere in human affairs."

"The Otherworld Demon Realm represents the Abandoned Emperor."

"The true path of suffering is represented by the Sun God."

"Using the world as a chessboard, humanity as chess pieces, and destiny as the guide to determine the outcome."

"If the Otherworld destroys the pillars and wipes out humanity."

"No creator god could stop the lineage of the Abandoned Emperor from destroying and recreating other worlds that they considered unclean."

"If the righteous path of the Bitter Realm destroys the Otherworldly Demon Realm."

"The lineage of the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor must abandon their own beliefs, cleanse themselves of their demonic bodies, and return to the Six Heavens Realm."

"So it is said that..."

"This should have been a conflict between the Otherworld and the righteous path of the Bitter Realm."

"What does this have to do with us?" Fei Yu asked, puzzled.

"That was indeed the case."

"It was only to help humanity that the sun god secretly left divine energy in the fourth pillar to protect them."

"The protective shield formed by divine energy can only be broken by the power of gods and demons."

"The Emperor of Abandoned Heaven discovered that the Sun God had broken the agreement and was furious that He would so much protect humanity, even going so far as to abandon His divine dignity to help humanity cheat."

"Therefore, the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor descended to the mortal realm using the Holy Demonic Embryo, personally destroying the divine pillars in an attempt to annihilate the human world."

"In this bet, both sides violated the rules, making the outcome unconvincing for both factions."

"So the sun god suggested starting another round."

"But the Heavenly Emperor was enraged by the Sun God's pre-planned contingency plan, and after his divine soul returned, he refused to accept the Sun God's proposal."

"Insisting on forcibly destroying humanity in all worlds."

"Finally, the war of the gods broke out, and the gods and demons fought so fiercely that the heavens and the earth collapsed."

"Many gods were severely injured and fell into a deep slumber as a result, and the Abandoned Emperor and the Sun God were also both severely injured."

"The Sun God deeply felt that it was his own interference that led to the destruction of mankind, not mankind's own choice."

"To atone for this mistake, He gathered the primal power of all the slumbering gods and joined forces with the God of Time to initiate time reversal."

"They also used divine power to bring back humans from other universes, planning to send them back to the world after the time travel, hoping to stop the Abandoned Emperor from destroying the world."

"And we were brought into this world by the divine power of the sun god."

"Save the world? Us?"

"This thing that only exists in novels has actually come true. It feels like a dream."

Sen Yang said he couldn't believe it, but he was secretly excited.

After listening to Xiao Hengyi's explanation, Xuanming asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Why did the Sun God choose us, who have no connection to this world, instead of those from the realm of suffering?"

"Isn't doing this riskier?"

Xiao Hengyi responded, "The Sun God said that changing existing facts requires bearing the corresponding consequences."

"The power of cause and effect is borne by the natal star. Once the cause and effect accumulate to a certain extent, it will trigger divine retribution."

"As long as the destiny star exists, divine retribution cannot be avoided or transferred."

"However, the people of this world can hardly bear the consequences that concern the survival of the world and even the slumber of the gods."

"A single move will invite divine retribution, and certain death is inevitable."

"He can only find humans who do not exist in this world."

"Without a destiny star, the power of cause and effect can be transferred to the gods who brought humanity here."

"Deities will not perish; at most, they will slumber, and can bear even the most significant karmic consequences."

"At worst, we can put a few deities into a deep sleep."

"By the way, is my body still my own?"

Sen Yang seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "Although my appearance hasn't changed, my clothes and attire are the same as those in the world I live in."

"Moreover, I felt weak all over and had difficulty controlling my body."

"Our bodies are still our own," Xiao Hengyi patiently explained.

"The sun god brought our bodies with him."

"He said that we few were not deeply connected with the earth, which is why we were brought here by His divine power."

"When I sent you into this world, to help you conceal your origins and avoid unnecessary trouble, I asked the God of Time to change your appearance."

"As for the physical weakness, it's because you've been asleep for too long, and your bodies are having difficulty adapting."

Feiyu noticed something was wrong and quickly asked:

"Why are you the one telling us these things? Why doesn't the sun god explain them to us together?"

"Didn't we wake up together?"

"The Sun God did not expect to bring back four people, but his remaining power was only enough to protect one person for continuous rewinding."

"Out of desperation, they only managed to wake me up."

Xuanming frowned and blurted out all the questions that had been bothering him:

What is continuous backtracking?

"And according to you, shouldn't the three of us be in a state of perpetual slumber?"

"Why were we awakened again? Has something unexpected happened?"

Could you elaborate?

"Yes, the Sun God told me that if the time travel world is not restarted when the time point arrives, then what happens in the time travel world will replace what happened in the original world."

"And once the time point has passed, the rollback cannot be restarted."

"Time reversal can be performed a total of six times, after which the primordial power of the gods will be exhausted."

"Without sufficient power, it is impossible to initiate a new regression."

"If I do not change the outcome during the rewind, at the time of my death, His remaining power will be able to save my life and send me to the side of the God of Time."

"In this way, when the rewind point arrives, I will be able to use the power of the God of Time and the strength of the gods to reopen the rewind."

"And that is why I have awakened you at this moment."

"Firstly, because this is the last time we'll go back to the previous timeline, and secondly, because I need your assistance."

"Our lives and deaths are now inextricably linked to this world."

Upon hearing this, Fei Yu asked in utter astonishment, "This is the last time?"

"So you've failed five times already?"

"I remember you said this world is a world from a TV series, so you should know the plot, right?"

"Even if you don't know, experiencing it firsthand should give you a general idea of ​​how things are going."

"With this advantage of prophecy, are you still unable to stop the Abandoned Emperor from destroying the world?"

Xiao Hengyi explained bitterly, "The descent of the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor requires two conditions to be met."

"The first is the Holy Demon Embryo, the medium in the human world; the second is that two pillars of the divine land need to be destroyed."

"However, no matter how hard I tried to stop it, the Holy Demon Embryo was still born."

"On one occasion, I even killed the mother who gave birth to the Holy Demon Embryo in advance."

"As a result, another Holy Demon Primordial Embryo, who was originally hostile to the Abandoned Heaven Emperor, completely sided with the Abandoned Heaven Emperor and was willing to give up its body for him to descend."

"The same applies to the divine pillars."

"Even if I take precautions and prevent the known changes, other unexpected events will still occur later."

"At first, I thought it was because my plan was not thorough enough that it failed."

"It wasn't until the third time I went back in time that I suddenly realized that I was completely unable to stop the Abandoned Emperor from descending to earth."
