I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 492: Chapter 493: To all the residents, I plan to tether a dragon in the square for their viewing pleasure (9200)

Dwarf Valley had fallen, and in a way that no one had expected.

After several years of mining, the lion’s share of the Secret Silver Vein had already been consumed by Dawn City; the remaining ore, though still valuable, was no longer sufficient to justify Lide reopening the mines for further excavation.

Without hesitation, he returned to Dawn City with Frey and several Sea Clan Gods who now showed him noticeably more respect.

Although he had only been away for half a month, the sight of Dwarf Valley reduced to ruins stirred something within him as he returned to the prosperity of Dawn City.

His gaze immediately steadied.

This city, which he had built from the ground up, must not be allowed to follow in Dwarf Valley’s doomed footsteps, no matter the cost.

While he was lost in thought, a crisp crackling sound suddenly emanated from the sky, like glass being shattered.

All the people of Dawn City felt it and instinctively looked up.

In the sky above, a crack that had already split to some extent was being torn even wider apart by two colossal, sky-covering hands, with the sound of cracking echoing through heaven and earth.

The sky fissure had widened once again!

The residents below watched in undeniable panic, their eyes full of turmoil.

Many feared that in the next second, the fissure in the sky would burst open completely and an uncountable number of terrifying demons would fall through.

And with this widening of the fissure, the eruption of the Ancient Day Energy became visible to the naked eye—the ancient, decaying energy seemed to corrupt everything in the Main Plane.

With a hiss…

The Ancient Day Energy, now several times denser than before, erupted from the crack, colliding directly with the shield generated by the fragments of the Destiny Tablet.

The moment of contact was like sulfuric acid poured onto the ground, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound.

Just as everyone’s hearts were in their throats, the Destiny Tablet pieces burst forth with a dazzling light.

In the next instant, the near-collapsed shield solidified once more and, just like before, began to absorb the Ancient Day Energy to strengthen itself.

Lide’s ashen complexion eased somewhat upon witnessing this.

At the same time, he felt some relief; thankfully, they had obtained fragments of the Destiny Tablet in advance. Otherwise, with the widening of the crack, he feared that in the first onslaught of Ancient Day Power, many residents would have been corrupted and transformed into loathsome Ancient Monsters.

Seeing this, the Mermaid Main God, surrounded by several Sea Clan Gods, looked somber and motionless for a long time.

Although she had found a Water Element Plane suitable for the Sea Clan to inhabit, she could only transfer a portion of them there.

Most sea creatures still struggled to survive in the Lost Sea…

But reality was even more cruel than the Mermaid Main God had imagined.

After the third sky tear, the entirety of Glory underwent a terrifying transformation.

Lost Sea.

The roiling Ancient Day Energy poured into the ocean like dark clouds.

The creatures swimming at the surface had no means of resisting this decaying force, merely allowing it to merge into their bodies.

High-level creatures fared slightly better; their strong physical makeup allowed them to resist for a time. Sensing danger, they swam rapidly toward the ocean floor.

The low-level sea life was devoured directly by the Ancient Day Energy, their bodies beginning to rot and their essence turning to decay.

Once corrupted by Ancient Day Energy, this process was irreversible.

Moreover, the surrounding Ancient Day Energy surged in even more violently, accelerating their transformation into Ancient Monsters.

One by one, Sea Clan creatures on the surface turned into monsters bent on destruction, their bodies rotten, appearing as terrifying as corpses dead for tens of days.

These newly transformed Ancient Monsters, upon the completion of their corruption, immediately began to attack the surrounding life.

Their intense desire for ruin made them long to kill all life around them.

The sea surface began to churn with rings of blood, the entire ocean following suit. The sea turned red with blood, and with too many marine lives lost, the ocean remained crimson for half a month, becoming a realm of death and bloodshed.

Ancient Forest.

This magical forest was now facing an unprecedented crisis.

From the sky rift, endless old powers surged out like towering waves, charging into the Ancient Forest with a posture of corrupting everything.

The trees, emitting a faint green glow, quickly drew nutrients from the earth, opposing the decay with the Power of Nature.

But the ancient aura from the sky rift was nearly endless, while the nutrients of the earth had a time when they could be exhausted.

The forest, which had survived since ancient times, started to wither, yellow, and rot from its edges, tree by tree, their roots breaking apart.

Only the center of the Ancient Forest, protected by the fragments of the Destiny Tablet, remained unscathed.

Raising the perspective, one could see a gigantic city at the center of the Ancient Forest, a hundred miles in diameter, a marvel to behold, being constructed swiftly.

And the ones participating in the construction were all Divines of the Light and Natural Divine Systems.

This Divine Gifted Holy City, the base of the Angel Alliance, was where they would make their stand against the Ancient Evil God…

Whether it would be effective, no one knew, but this was the greatest effort the Light Gods could muster.

Beyond that, the third sky rift had an even greater impact—total crop failure.

After the last sky rift, most of Glory’s vegetation was affected.
