Chapter 3198: 660: Thirty-Six Laws (part 4)
In the beginning, they merely sent down divine power incarnations, but for the sustained battle, they eventually allowed the Gods themselves to descend to the mortal realm, and it has now reached its finale.
Hera asked:
"It seems neither of you have ever considered surrendering to the astral world."
The King of Ten Thousand Dragons said:
"We have an agreement with Sauron.
Although we cannot witness the annihilation of the astral world.
Seeing this scene makes it worthwhile."
The Star Beast said:
"If possible, when Nora wins the war, please preserve a sanctuary for the star beasts... When the stars return, we shall come back."
These two mighty Gods vanished into smoke.Above the astral world, their divine fires extinguished, the Divine Kingdom cracked open, collapsing with a crash, and the altar was buried beneath the ruins, recounting the tragic past.
The epic battle in the Land of Nora concluded.
Dragons fell, like the end of an epic.
...
[Nora Calendar, Year 5050.
Strength, Void, Spirit, Ten Thousand Dragons, Star Five Dragons chopped Heaven, slain a Supreme Demon at the 665th layer of the Abyss in Nora, perishing together with it. The Supreme Council awarded the Five Dragons the "Group Stars Medal", and the Emperor bestowed upon them the title "Five Directions Emperor Dragon", to be revered for all ages.

...
The Land of Nora.
Hela finally could rest for a while.
She gazed at the projection of the Chaos Emperor.
"No problems on my side."
Levi said:
"Thank you! What are your plans next?"
Hela said:
"I haven’t decided yet, I’ll rest first... I’m truly worn out, so to avoid losing myself, I plan to sleep for a hundred years, Lord Emperor, you don’t mind, do you?"
Hela spoke in a joking tone.
She wasn’t complaining about Levi. .
Levi responded with a wry smile:
"Of course not."
He knew about Hela being the daughter of Sauron and the Netherworld Ancestor.
No wonder Hela asked if he was familiar with Sauron.
Hela probably mistook him for Sauron’s illegitimate child.
He had fought to the 653rd layer of the Abyss, just 13 layers short of breaking through. By then, Hela would awaken, and they could wage war in the astral world, beginning the extermination of the insects.
Before Hela closed the projection, Levi awkwardly said:
"In my absence, I’ll leave the Nora matters to you."
Hela waved her hand and said:
"Got it."
Ending the transmission, she sealed the Supreme Battlefield with the power of life and death.
The Ice Witch appeared with a tired expression and said:
"Thank you, Lady, I’ll handle the trivial matters next."
Hela nodded and returned to Nora.
She descended to the Earth Core Land.
Nora’s will instinctively trembled, not with fear, but with excitement.
Or perhaps... tension.
Behind Hela, the Death Throne appeared, and she sat upon it.
Her eyes gleamed with amusement.
Feigning strength, she smiled and asked:
"Father?"
Nora’s will remained silent.
Hela shook her head and muttered to herself:
"Rest assured, I came to terms with this long ago, I know you have already died, what remains here is only a trace of will and obsession... Forget it, I’m going to sleep."
Supporting her head with her right hand, she rested on the throne.
The supreme breath echoed in the Nora Core.
Nora’s will quieted down.
In the dark, it seemed a pair of gentle eyes watched over the sleeping Hela.
Like a father watching his beloved daughter sleep in the middle of the night.
Afraid to make any movement or sound, lest he wake her.
Sometime later.
The grass and trees of Nora, the mountains and rivers... countless things quietly resonated and vibrated, creating sounds of flowing water, cracking earth, wind, thunder, and ocean waves.
All sounds permeated the Earth Core, weaving a simple melody in this space, like a babbling stream surrounding Hela.
Hela kept her eyes closed, yet her eyelashes kept trembling.
She had never heard this melody, but she instinctively understood its meaning.
In this universe, perhaps only two have heard it.
One is Levi, the other is Father.
It seemed a deep, magnetic male voice sang:
"The dark sky hangs low,
The bright stars accompany,
Insects fly,
Insects fly,
Who are you yearning for..."
...
The Dark Ancient Tower quietly fell into the Eastern Sea.
With a boom, the tower collapsed from the Sixth Layer, falling into the sea, and the ark Sauron used for carrying the Nora Wan Clan as a backup escape plan also sank.
It was merely a cosmic-level supreme treasure.
After battling three supremes, it reached its maximum.
Yet the Tenth Layer of the ancient tower remained intact, meaning transmission was still possible, though by now, Nora’s mighty ones likely had no transmissions left.
This ancient tower, too, met its end.
Of course, by paying a certain price, inviting supreme beings and some strongest weapon craftsmen, there might be a chance for reconstruction, as the tower’s functions were numerous.
But these are tales for another time.
After the tower split open, the life within it gazed at the new world.
They would integrate into Nora, becoming part of the new worlds.
...
Sky City.
The small top that was shaken out with many gaps whimpered and returned to its owner, Daydreamer, heavily damaged and in urgent need of repair.
But now, all of Nora’s mighty ones were fighting outside. Those who stayed behind included some Legendary Artifact Makers, yet repairing a cosmic supreme treasure was immensely difficult.
While Daydreamer worried.
A figure quietly appeared above the Eastern Sea.
It had a dragon head and human body, forged entirely of steel, and carried a forging hammer on its back, with a floating furnace forged from stars behind, the fire roaring.
Master Bao Long.
It was the first time in 300,000 years it had stepped into the Land of Nora.
Sensing the arrival of a mighty being, the Frost Witch and Spiritual Venerable appeared.
Upon seeing Master Bao Long, they showed expressions of surprise.
"Master? Why have you come to Nora?"
Master Bao Long, despite being a absolutely neutral blacksmith master.
Though it collaborated with Nora, their relationship was purely transactional.
Appearing here would certainly arouse suspicion from the star realm abyss.
Master Bao Long smiled and said:
"This place is my home.
I am the third duplication of Sauron."
Hearing this, the Frost Witch revealed a shocked expression.
"We are unworthy descendants paying respects to the ancestor of wizards!"
She hastily bowed, and the Spiritual Venerable was too stunned to speak.
Legendary Wizards appeared, coming to pay homage to Master Bao Long.
Master Bao Long quickly waved them off and said:
"You’re mistaken, I’m not Sauron.
I’m just his third duplication, now independent."
After the Dragon Slayer Sword shattered, Master Bao Long felt a mysterious force disappear, the limitation imposed upon it by Sauron’s will vanished.
It no longer had to pretend as the Artisan God, no more acting.
It could go anywhere, do anything.
No one controlled it.
But having lived for countless years, there seemed to be only one thing it found intriguing.
That was: Forging.
So it followed its heart, arriving in Nora.
Here, it could genuinely connect and exchange with the "Nora Artisan God".
Far better than living alone in darkness.
As for absolute neutrality?
Star realm and abyss were cooling down, why fear the Star Ancestor?
Moreover, its strength wasn’t weak.
Else, how could it forge the Dragon Slayer Sword?
