# Chapter 2: Refusing This Eternal Divine Power
...
Su Xiao immediately chose to refuse. He had no desire to become the White King, nor did he want eternal life.
Looking back at the history of the Gloomy Continent, what brought down this glorious civilization was not the Abyss, not the Doom Star representing the Ancient God faction, and certainly not the Mad Beast Plague. It was the eternal life that so many people longed to obtain. It was precisely because there were too many people here who could live forever that this world had gradually stepped into such a predicament.
Where there is light, there is darkness. Where there is cold, there is heat. Where there is death, there is life.
When the Eternal Life God first shared eternal life with people, was he wrong? In truth, some things cannot be judged by simple right or wrong. If the Eternal Life God had not shared his divine power of eternal life with people back then, this civilization would have been wiped out by the Abyss's invasion long ago, and there would never have been the later glory of transcendence.
Almost at the moment Su Xiao refused to obtain eternal life, *whoosh* — a semi-transparent, gray-tinged flame emerged on the Eternal Life God's body. His movements paused. Within the temple, the unique aura of a divine being's descent disappeared, replaced by a violent, furious aura overflowing with death.
*Slap!*
One of the Eternal Life God's claws slammed onto the ground, causing large cracks to spread across the stone floor. He had now been completely eroded by the Dead Silence Origin. The deity who had protected this world had passed away, leaving only the parts of dead silence and beast.
"ROAR!!!"
The Eternal Life God threw back his head and roared. Cracks suddenly spread across all the walls inside the temple.
Seeing this, Su Xiao knew that a life-or-death battle was unavoidable. However, he had no illusions of luck, otherwise he wouldn't have drunk the precious Dragon Blood Potion.
The Eye of the Gods floated behind Su Xiao. Although he knew it probably wouldn't detect much, before a deathmatch, any information about the enemy was worth its weight in gold. When he returned this time, he absolutely had to get an Immortal-rank detection piece of equipment, even if it cost a bit more. If he still couldn't buy one, then from now on, whenever he saw those black market merchants hoarding detection equipment, he would kill them one by one.

Skill 10, Roar (Passive, Lv.70): As the Beast God, this ancient deity's roar also possesses lethal power, dealing 5 points + 10 points + 15 points + 20 points + 25 points + 50 points of damage.
Note: This is a six-stage chain damage.
Warning: Due to the Eternal Life God's ??? ability, in the judgment, this ability is considered a melee judgment.

Note: This is an ability brought by the Dead Silence Origin and can only be used within this world.
Skill 17, Life Convergence (Ultimate Skill, x): When the Eternal Life God causes an enemy's instant death with Death Scepter, he can absorb the life force that bursts out from the enemy, using it as a guide combined with Abyss Energy to massively restore health (restoration amount is 60% to 90% of the Eternal Life God's maximum health, depending on the life force intensity of the dead target).
???
???
Skill 20, Abyss Awakening (???): When the Eternal Life God's health falls below 50%, he will no longer be able to suppress the Abyss power he instinctively detests, causing him to enter another combat form.
Note: In this combat form, the Eternal Life God will possess powerful self-recovery and lethal means.
...
After seeing the Eternal Life God's abilities, Su Xiao's first thought was: Is this really the state after multiple weakenings and with the divine soul already gone?
Leaving aside the undetectable abilities, the composition of the Eternal Life God's combat abilities was actually quite simple and brutal. His attacks were not only accompanied by Death Flame but also had the Beast effect.
Death Flame dealt maximum health damage, while the Beast effect attached to melee attacks, although seemingly not high in damage, had a certain probability of causing Body Paralysis.
What was Body Paralysis? The follow-up control effect brought by Su Xiao's straight kick was Body Paralysis. Back then, even the old knight was kicked by him into Body Paralysis, kneeling on one knee. This showed how dominant this control judgment was. Immunity to control abilities simply couldn't resist this kind of completely physical, overbearing control effect.
If it were just these two effects attached to normal melee attacks, it would be manageable. The key was that the Eternal Life God also had an ability so simple and unadorned it was called Roar.
The six stages of base damage caused by Roar weren't much, but what was astonishing was that this ability called Roar, for some unknown reason, was actually judged as a melee attack, and it was six layers of distinct melee damage judgments.
Enduring a full Roar from the Eternal Life God meant enduring a total of 172% of maximum health in Death Flame burn, plus 36,945 points of mixed damage.
Presumably, this ability was once even stronger. On the Abyss battlefield, the scene of one roar killing a whole area was completely imaginable.
Besides these abilities, the Eternal Life God had an even more terrifying ability. Once caught by his huge claw and then squeezed, it meant instant death on the spot. This was the life force detonation caused by Death Scepter, leading to instant death.
"Da... damn it."
After seeing the Eternal Life God's data, Baha's bird eyes were almost as wide as Amu's cow eyes. After seeing Death Scepter, his liver trembled a bit.
"White Night, this situation isn't right."
Sweat appeared on Zuiyasi's forehead. Even though the Eternal Life God across from them hadn't attacked yet, this unprecedented pressure made him clearly feel death. This warning feeling of being about to die in battle at any moment was something he, with his Undying trait, hadn't felt for a while.
"Moo."
Amu, shouldering the Dragonheart Axe, let his battle axe drop. With a *clack*, the axe blade half-sank into the ground. He charged head-on toward the Eternal Life God.
Seeing this, Zuiyasi and Wude were extremely envious. In such a deathmatch, having someone rush forward to test the enemy's methods was indeed invaluable.
At this moment, Amu's Ultimate Skill Power: Fearless War Bull was stacked to the limit. He roared and strode forward, freezing air spreading wherever he passed, pushing his momentum to an unprecedented peak.
"MOO!!"
Amu gripped the Dragonheart Axe with both hands. Upon reaching the front of the Eternal Life God, he leaped into a downward chop. The battle axe, radiating freezing air, was raised above his head. As it descended, the axe blade left a trail of ice shavings in the air, its momentum magnificent!
Just as the blade was still a dozen centimeters from the Eternal Life God's head, the Eternal Life God suddenly raised his right arm, and at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, his claw swung sideways in a slap.
*BOOM!!!*
The shockwave spread through the temple. The cracks on the ground became even more pronounced. Amu's attack came to an abrupt halt. He had disappeared. To be precise, Amu was now inside the human-shaped hole on the side wall. The shape of that hole looked a bit like someone jumping up for a slam dunk.
*Hiss~*
White freezing air spread out from the hole. Amu walked out from the white freezing air, but after a few steps, he fell forward with a *thud* and then didn't move.
Amu had perfectly completed his mission. After tanking one of the Eternal Life God's ultimate abilities, he began lying nearby half-dead, playing dead. It could only be said that after Amu became stronger this time, he was indeed more durable.
Seeing Amu's miserable state, Wude confirmed one thing: he would die instantly after just one or two attacks.
Just as Su Xiao was staring at the powerful enemy ahead, he vaguely heard shouting from above. At first, he thought he was hearing things, but soon, he realized there really was shouting.
"Ahhh~~~"
The sound grew closer from above. Finally, a figure in a Gothic dress fell down from the broken skylight at the top, crashing onto the ground between Su Xiao and the Eternal Life God, landing solidly.
"My back hurts so much~ What the hell was that space device?"
Gulu made as if to get up from the ground, but just as she propped herself up with one hand, she saw Su Xiao, Zuiyasi, and Wude — to be precise, the three of them with serious expressions and full aura release.
Gulu swallowed her saliva, seeming to guess something. She was completely dumbfounded, her expression gradually turning into:
"w(°Д°)w"
