Chapter 267: Chapter265-Ancient Corpse Awakens, The World Shifts（Chapter264 is in the next Chapter)）
“War God, save me!”
As Raymond’s desperate roar echoed, the very space around them quaked and rumbled. A figure clad in battle armor with a blood-red cloak appeared beside Raymond.
The arrival of this heroic figure caused both Elysia and the Archdemon to tense up, their expressions turning grave.
The pressure emanating from her was suffocating.
The War God!
It was actually the War God from the legends, who had ascended to the ranks of a Celestial God!
“Stop! Raymond is under my protection. How dare you try to kill him?”
The newly appeared female War God cast a cold glance at Owen, her voice carrying a tone of absolute authority.
But before she even finished speaking, Owen didn’t halt his attack. Instead, he accelerated, swinging the Supreme Sword even faster.
“Owen! How dare you! The War God herself has intervened, and yet you still act so brazenly!”
Raymond, who had been on the verge of despair, suddenly felt a surge of hope. He sneered at Owen, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.
The War God was a Celestial God, her word was law, defied by none.
Owen, an insignificant gnat, would naturally bow before her authority!
Screech!
But in the next moment, blood spurted as Raymond’s head was severed by a single strike, flying high into the air. His aura plummeted rapidly.
The sword energy from the Supreme Sword corroded his wound instantly, eroding his life force!
In just an instant, his head and body exploded like a blood-red firework.
“How dare you…”
In his final moments, Raymond’s face was filled with horror and disbelief.
He had never imagined that even with the War God present, Owen would still dare to strike a killing blow!
As Raymond’s body exploded in front of her, the blood splashing onto the War God’s feet, her face turned completely dark.
For countless years, none had ever dared to defy her will. Yet today, Owen had dared to act so insolently, showing no respect for her whatsoever!
“You court death!”
The War God, known for her fiery temper, instantly flashed to Owen’s side and grabbed him by the throat, her long fingers sinking deep into his flesh.
Both Elysia and the Archdemon, who had been stunned by the War God’s sudden appearance, were even more shocked to see Owen kill Raymond right in front of her.
They were even more stunned when the War God herself personally attacked Owen!
“Let him go!”
The Archdemon, knowing the War God’s cruelty, immediately charged at her, disregarding her own injuries. Forcing her mana to surge, countless swirling black vortices enveloped the War God.
The War God’s eyes were filled with disdain, not even bothering to acknowledge the Archdemon’s attack. Her blood-red cloak billowed, and it was as if ancient war drums began to sound.
The oncoming black vortices were instantly shattered, and the resulting shockwave struck the Archdemon’s chest.
She spat out blood as her body was thrown back, crashing heavily to the ground. Her wounds, barely closed, tore open again, her blood-soaked form and graying hair making her look even more frail.
Seeing her sister’s worsening state, Elysia’s hair stood on end. An insane killing intent locked onto the War God as countless black flames, filled with corrosive power, surged around her, threatening to burn her to ash.
“Mere tricks!”
The War God’s face remained full of contempt, letting the black flames that could destroy divine artifacts burn her armor and cloak, unbothered.
She was a Celestial God. The power of the Archdemon and Elysia was beneath her notice.
“Don’t you know that even a dog’s master must be respected?”
“Raymond was chosen by me, a Celestial God. How dare you kill him?!”
Her voice, filled with a domineering question, grew stronger and stronger. The grip around Owen’s throat tightened, causing his neck to creak and his vertebrae to nearly shatter.
Just then, sensing Owen’s life-threatening situation, Seraphina erupted from his Small World in a rage, opening her massive maw and unleashing a torrent of flames and frost.
“You’re quite the interesting beast…”
Although Seraphina’s attack did not concern her, the War God’s eyes gleamed with curiosity at her unique bloodline.
But as she prepared to subdue Seraphina as well, Owen channeled most of his mana into the black mark on his forehead.
The sudden appearance of the War God had completely caught him off guard. Her terrifying strength was unlike anything he had ever faced.
However, the War God was not the most powerful being he had sensed. The ancient aura he had detected in that mountain range was, in his instincts, far more terrifying than the War God!
And this black mark was a gift from that entity.
Owen had hesitated to use it before, but now, with the War God pressing him so ruthlessly, he decided to risk it all!
As the black mark on Owen’s forehead appeared, he felt the War God’s overwhelming suppression ease slightly, giving him just enough strength to resist.
The War God’s sharp eyes instantly locked onto the black mark, her brows furrowing deeply.
She recognized that mark. But why was it on Owen?
As confusion flickered in her eyes, the endless mountain range from which Owen and the others had come began to tremble violently.
The ground split apart, and the earth shook as if some colossal being was about to emerge.
Everyone present was instantly drawn to this unprecedented phenomenon.
As the ground cracked wide open, a massive hand burst forth, pulling up an enormous body from beneath the mountain!
Rumble!
The entire Demon Abyss seemed to be experiencing a cataclysmic earthquake. Countless streams of demonic energy scattered, and amidst the dark abyss, dazzling celestial stars suddenly appeared, casting a soft, ethereal light.
The God of Light and Darkness!
The Lord of Stars!
He had awakened!
Seeing the colossal figure, so immense it could rival the sun and moon, even the War God’s expression showed a trace of wariness.
Owen and the others were similarly captivated by the sight.
The giant who had suddenly risen from the mountain range looked almost identical to a human but was covered in intricate golden star patterns that crisscrossed his skin.
Most striking were his eyes—one black, one white—radiating a mesmerizing power.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS

The black eye was as deep as the night, capable of devouring everything, pulling all things into oblivion.
The white eye was as pure as the brightest light, banishing all evil and impurity.
Just looking at him, Owen felt his heart surge with turbulence. Even though the entity’s aura was restrained to the extreme, it was still far more terrifying than the War God’s!
And his unique form made Owen recognize him at a glance.
The God of Light and Darkness, the ruler who governed the trajectories of the stars—the Lord of Stars!
He was also one of the rebellious Celestial Gods who had once challenged the Will of Heaven, a figure of legend!
Owen never imagined that such a legendary Celestial God would be slumbering within the Demon Abyss!
The Archdemon and Elysia recognized the Lord of Stars as well, their mouths agape as they subconsciously bowed in respect.
After all, the Lord of Stars was one of the ancient Celestial Gods worshipped by the Demon Realm.
After awakening, the Lord of Stars immediately focused on the War God and Owen, his colossal form shrinking until it was no different from an ordinary human’s.
“War God, you have overstepped.”
Standing beside her, the Lord of Stars looked at her indifferently.
Even though he had been in slumber, he was vaguely aware of the events transpiring in the Demon Abyss.
For an elder Celestial God like her to personally act against a mere junior like Owen—it was a breach of etiquette.
“He defied my divine command. Striking against him is not overstepping!”
The War God shook her head slightly. She knew she was no match for the Lord of Stars, but if she didn’t receive a proper explanation from Owen, she would not let this matter go.
The Lord of Stars spoke lightly: “He merely killed one of your chosen mortal champions. Owen is a thousand times more talented. What’s there to regret?”
The War God frowned, unable to comprehend why the Lord of Stars was defending Owen.
She didn’t deny Owen’s extraordinary talent, but as a Celestial God who had witnessed countless eras, she had seen countless prodigies. Owen was just a larger wave in an endless river of geniuses.
