However, if one was unwilling, they could also give up and return to the real world, safe and sound.
But those in the immortal realm would face utter destruction, and the immortal realms would cease to exist, with everything perishing.
Hearing this news, Xiao Mo was utterly shocked. He stood frozen, unable to comprehend that the other party would demand the blood from his eyes. Such a thing was incredibly precious. Even if his eyes were gouged out, rendering him blind, would he still possess his former radiance upon returning to the real world? Furthermore, he was not a heartless person. He could not abandon everything in the divine realm, not just for its honor, but because the lives of everyone rested in his hands, along with the fate of the divine realm.
The white-haired elder did not give Xiao Mo much time, instead urging him with every passing moment. If he agreed, his eye blood would be extracted to save everyone in the immortal realm. It was unclear if this was a test or if the elder was serious. Xiao Mo looked at the countdown, only ten seconds remaining. With no time to think, he grabbed a dagger and plunged it directly into his right eye. Blood flowed down his face, dripping onto the seeds.
On the other side, the God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, chose to give up. No blood flowed from his eyes. Consequently, the flower beside Xiao Mo bloomed with seven colors, while the flower beside the God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, had completely withered from black to a faded bloom, representing his impending fate.
"What is happening?" The God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, was the first to open his eyes and witness this scene. He could not believe that his flower had withered while the other’s had bloomed with seven colors. The outcome was obvious: the other party had won the final competition, becoming the Lord of the Divine Realm, while he remained an eternal loser.
Slowly, Xiao Mo's eyes began to recover. When he opened them again, he felt an infinite power filling them. What was happening? Was this extra energy from the [Game Official]? Or had he won the competition and gained the special abilities of the Lord of the Divine Realm? It turned out that Xiao Mo had now obtained the power of the Immortal Lord, possessing supreme authority.
The players watching from the sidelines were also astonished. Was this a blessing in disguise?
[What is going on? Why are the two flowers in front of them so diametrically opposed? It looks like Lord Xiao Mo has won!]
It was clear to everyone that Xiao Mo had won the final match. This competition tested not only willpower but also selfless devotion and the spirit of universal love. Only those who embraced the world in their hearts could become overlords and lead the entire immortal realm. His actions just now clearly demonstrated that Xiao Mo had completely defeated his opponent in this match, with an unassailable spirit. Not everyone possessed such a spirit; it could be said that only Xiao Mo in the entire immortal realm had it.
Xiao Mo, once again awake, looked at the scene before him with immense cherish. He had initially thought his eyes would be permanently blinded after extracting the blood. He hadn't expected it to be merely a test. With this realization, his heart finally settled. However, he had been prepared for the worst, having braced himself for the possibility of losing his sight.
At this moment, the [Game Official] appeared and announced the final result. As expected, Xiao Mo had gracefully won the competition, earning the respect of everyone. The God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, remained silent, genuinely impressed by Xiao Mo. Few possessed such a heart, and only such a person was worthy of being the ruler of the Divine Realm.
[Now that Lord Xiao Mo has achieved final victory, we can see that Xiao Mo possesses a magnanimous heart, willing to sacrifice himself to protect all the people of the immortal realm. Let us now transform the power in our hearts into a flame!]
As the [Game Official] finished speaking, a fierce fire erupted around Xiao Mo. When the flames finally subsided, his armor appeared, and he took his seat as the Lord of the Immortal Realm.
Just as everything seemed to be returning to peace, it turned out that the supposed annihilation was merely a fabrication by the [Game Official] to instill fear and teach everyone a lesson. They were meant to unite, contribute to the Divine Realm, and strive for a better future.
Thus, the immortal realm regained its former peace. Though once barren, it was now filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. All this credit belonged to Xiao Mo’s leadership. The entire immortal realm began to thrive. Even his former nemesis, the God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, willingly abandoned his cultivation, along with the demon and immortal soldiers and weapons, choosing to start anew.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo smiled. He held a benevolent heart towards everyone, believing that those who genuinely repented could start anew. He was even willing to give his former adversary a chance, proving his choice was correct. Under his guidance, the entire immortal realm continued to develop in a positive direction. Everyone held a heart of gratitude and compassion. Furthermore, the God of Annihilation, Tang Xiangxun, distributed all his previous gains to others, a gesture of making amends.
Xiao Mo stood at his highest vantage point, overlooking the entire immortal realm. Watching the increasingly prosperous Divine Realm filled him with satisfaction. In just a few days, such a drastic change had occurred. He felt worthy of his current position and truly capable of turning the tide. He sighed, gazing at the current state of the immortal realm.
"Peace and unification of the entire immortal realm."
Xiao Mo's ultimate wish had been fulfilled. Seeing the immortal realm managed so efficiently under his care, he displayed a contented smile. He nodded, affirming his accomplishment. This time, he had truly succeeded!
