I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Antique artifact, Battle of the Gods.

This is the antique artifact into which Dawn Number One poured all of his efforts, also his final trump card.

As an antique artifact, it was forged by Dawn Number One using his own Creator God body, which ensured its minimum level wouldn’t be low, at least Creator God Level.

However, even at the Creator God Level, it was impossible to simultaneously trap the nine Creator Gods of Yao Black.

So, based on the Creator God body, Dawn Number One painstakingly integrated the Karma Dao of the River of Eternal Darkness within this antique artifact during the interminable years of entrapment in the river!

This way, the upper limit of the antique artifact [Battle of the Gods] was infinitely elevated.

With the Karma Dao from the River of Eternal Darkness, even a Creator God cannot break free, bound by the rules.

The specific rules of [Battle of the Gods] were also displayed to the gods as it formed:

[Antique Artifact: Battle of the Gods]

[Artifact Level: Creator God Level (+)]

[Artifact Introduction: One-time use artifact, requires the sacrifice of a Creator God Level being to activate, creating a giant arena for a deadly battle among gods.]

[Rule One: Engage in a battle among gods; the number of participants on each side must be equal, otherwise, the side lacking participants is automatically judged to lose.]

(Detected that both sides have nine Divine Level figures, meeting the battle requirements, rule established)

[Rule Two: Victory determination; the godly battle is a best of nine, first to five wins, divided into nine rounds. The side who first wins five rounds is judged as victorious.]

[Rule Three: Only one-on-one battles are allowed, and once the list of participants is fixed, it cannot be adjusted.]

[Rule Four: According to karma rules, the losing side will be swallowed by the River of Eternal Darkness.]

After reading the rules one by one, Han Zhan finally understood what Dawn Number One meant by those questions he asked earlier.

He never expected that Dawn Number One could conjure such a terrifying antique artifact.

Moreover, the rules clearly favor the Human Race, significantly increasing the probability of victory.

But the price of activating this artifact is truly immense.

When Dawn Number One left the Pot World, his actions mirrored one who entrusted a child, evidently prepared to make such a sacrifice.

Sacrificing himself to activate the antique artifact, capturing all Yao Black Creator Gods at once to forever eliminate dangers for the Human Race.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan looked up and examined this massive Divine Combat Arena for the first time.

Surrounding him was a circular arena built with dark gray stones.

Each stone brick was almost as large as a mountain range.

This arena didn’t reserve much for spectators, only two equally high stands.

Each stand had the size of a small Star Domain, with the Blue Star planet and Bronze Long Table respectively appearing on either side of the stands.

Besides, dim black light transformed into swimming fish, faintly appearing on the walls of the combat arena, representing the karma rules of the River of Eternal Darkness.

With its presence, ensuring even Creator Gods cannot leave until conditions are met.

Han Zhan, fused with the Demon Refining Pot, distinctly felt the spatial fluctuations within the Divine Combat Arena, indicating Dawn Number One also integrated his Space Dao comprehension.

This means regardless of the commotion he creates here, it won’t affect the external cosmos.

”Dawn Number One.” Han Zhan thought, silently reciting once.

Though they didn’t interact for long, everything Dawn Number One did for the Old Era Remnants earned Han Zhan’s respect from the bottom of his heart.

Han Zhan understood that by sacrificing himself, Dawn Number One created victory conditions for humanity. They can’t lose this final trump card!

”Determine the order of battle, Han Zhan, you take charge, we shall follow your suggestion.”

At this time, the Yellow Emperor spoke.

”You’ve dealt with Yao Black much, but we’ve been out of touch for a long time due to the time cycle.”

”You are the One Who Bears the Calamity of this cosmic era, and deserve to be the leader.”

The Yellow Emperor’s words drew no objections from other Creator Gods.

Everyone wasn’t meeting for the first time; concerning cosmic era’s life or death, the Human Race genuinely faced looming danger, and there was no room for scheming.

”Understood, then I’ll propose a plan first for all the Saint predecessors to review and decide together.”

”Okay.”

Beside the Bronze Long Table.

Nine light shadows no longer blurred but gradually clarified.

Each Creator God’s silhouette distinctly manifested.

The leader sat at the right-first position, a white-haired elderly Creator God.

No one knew how many centuries he existed, eyes deep, seemingly containing the cosmos.

”These surviving Old Era Remnants always manage to obstruct us.”

He spoke, with tone betraying no joy or anger.

”This way is also good, to settle these last forces in one go, and thoroughly sever ties with the Old Era.”

”Those few Human Race Saints’ powers are not weaker than Donghuang’s of yore, the Master of Radiant Black hasn’t fully awakened, we need to prepare on both fronts.”

”Understood.”

...

As the countdown of [Battle of the Gods] ends, both sides’ list of participants locked, unchangeable.

Unseen rules transcendentally applied the moment the list confirmed, upon Han Zhan and his allies.

That is karma from the River of Eternal Darkness.

Simultaneously, in front of the stands on either side, a tall Light Gate appeared.

Entering through this Light Gate would transport them to the Battle of the Gods to start the first battle.

Han Zhan nodded to the Saint beside him,

According to the finalized list, the first Saint walked into the Light Gate.

Representing Yao Black at the Bronze Long Table’s side, a Creator God arose, heading toward the Light Gate.

As they walked into the Light Gate, white light engulfed their figures.

Finally, the Light Gate vanished.

Perspective shifted to the center of the Battle of the Gods.

Two figures materialized in a flash of white light, arriving at the arena.

One was a graceful woman’s silhouette, only her lower half resembling a serpent, swaying with its tail.

The other side was the elderly figure who spoke first on the right side of the Bronze Long Table.

As they appeared, their names were displayed above the Battle of the Gods.

Human Race Saint, Nuwa.

Yao Black Creator God, Yahweh.

Witnessing this scene, Han Zhan lowered his eyes slightly, yet his heart eased somewhat.

Compared to the opposition, he had one advantage.

His advantage came from having participated in the Bronze Conference, thus knowing the true identities of these Creator Gods.

Knowing identities, analysis and strategy becomes easier.

Because compared to other Saints, Han Zhan evidently understands much more about the information and even skills of Yao Black Creator Gods.

”As long as we can discern the opponent’s battle sequence, we can devise countermeasures against their tactics, win five rounds, and secure victory directly!”

For the first battle, Han Zhan predicted Yahweh would enter, and he speculated fairly accurately about Yahweh’s ability.

On his side, the choice to counter Yahweh became clear.

Human Race Saint, Nuwa!
