That was her first sentence after her rebirth.
"This land is under my rule."
The moment the words fell, all the rioting divine corpses, all the shattered laws, and all the chaotic energy in the entire Gods' Graveyard, like rivers flowing into the sea, like thousands of subjects paying homage to a single monarch, bowed their heads to her in an instant, and all was quelled.
She became the new "god" of the Gods' Graveyard.
All was silent.
The moment Su Linglong declared her dominion, the entire Gods' Graveyard, this chaotic land constructed from the corpses of fallen deities and shattered laws, instantly calmed down. Millions of years of riots and wails vanished into nothingness, and all the broken divine corpses and enormous skeletons, whether they were Titans or demons in life, lowered their proud heads, offering the most ancient form of submission to that exquisite figure.
Countless fragments of shattered laws danced around her like fireflies, eventually converging into a dazzling galaxy that spread out beneath her feet. It was a scene that could shake the ages—the worship of all gods.
Inside the bridge of the Paradox Fortress, Xiao Han stared intently at the figure on the light screen, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.
It is her, yet it seems like it isn't.
That familiar face now held a touch of divine majesty and indifference. Those phoenix eyes, one a night that devours all things, the other a creator that shapes stars, simply gazed upon him, sending a shiver down his spine from the depths of his being.
Ecstasy, shock, pride... countless emotions surged into his heart, but ultimately condensed into an indescribable sense of alienation in his throat.
"Linglong!" he called out instinctively, his voice carrying across the starry sky through the fortress's amplification array.
The figure slightly turned his head, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the massive [Paradox Fortress], lingering for a moment on Xiao Han. His eyes were calm and still, devoid of the joy of a long-awaited reunion or the tenderness of lovers; they seemed more like the scrutiny of a... reasonably capable ally worthy of attention.
I glanced at it once, then looked away.
Xiao Han's heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen from the clouds.
A warm, soft hand gently grasped his. Lin Qingxia had appeared beside him unnoticed, a gentle life force emanating from her palm, soothing his turbulent mind. "Don't rush," her voice was soft, "She carries the loneliness and will of the Gods' Graveyard for billions of years; she is no longer the person she once was. Give her some time to find herself again."
Xiao Han remained silent, gripping the other hand tightly until his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
Just then, the Star Shepherd in the distance, the giant eye representing absolute Order, saw its data stream flash wildly at an unprecedented speed, and it fell into a brief logical conflict. It could not analyze the "divinity" on Su Linglong's body, which was neither defined by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion nor by any known pantheon, and all attack commands temporarily stopped.
The Ferryman on the other side, far from being afraid, instead displayed an even more fervent greed on his withered face. He looked at Su Linglong as if she were a perfect work of art beyond imagination.
"Hahaha..." He laughed hoarsely, raising the still-beating Shura Yin Heart aloft, "Congratulations on the birth of the new god! However, your kingdom seems to lack a beating heart! This is just what I need to offer you!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw out the Shura Yin Heart in his hand!
The heart transformed into a pure black lightning bolt, carrying endless laws of ending and death. It did not directly attack Su Linglong, but instead shot at the central core of the Gods' Graveyard from a tricky and bizarre angle—the foundation of the domain she had just conquered!
He wants to corrupt her Divine Kingdom!
Su Linglong's phoenix eyes narrowed, but there was no ripple in them.
My country has no room for impurities.
The cold, clear voice spoke with absolute power. The entire Gods' Graveyard instantly came to life! The colossal hand of a Titan god rose from its slumber, transforming into a sky-covering wall of laws; the skeleton of a giant cosmic serpent twisted, becoming chains that bound together space and time; countless remains and weapons of fallen gods transformed into the most loyal guardians, layer upon layer, intercepting and imprisoning that Shura Yin Heart in mid-air!
However, the power of the Shura Yin Heart was too strange. The chains of law formed from the remains of gods withered and collapsed the moment they came into contact with it, as if all their divinity had been drained away.
Su Linglong's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a very soft groan. A trickle of crimson divine blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, which she then wiped away without making a sound.
Clearly, completely suppressing this ancient evil object, whose attributes were completely opposite to her own domain, was a huge burden for her.
"Linglong!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Han was enraged, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. Just as he was about to give the order to activate the [Paradox Fortress] to blast that damned Ferryman into cosmic dust, a cold divine thought resounded directly in his sea of consciousness.
My war is none of your business.
These words were like a bucket of ice water from the depths of hell, poured over Xiao Han's head, leaving him feeling chilled to the bone.
All his anger, worry, and impulsiveness froze at that moment. He slowly released his hand from the main gun's firing button, looking at the figure that stood above all gods with a complex expression, and finally calmed down completely.
He understood.
Su Linglong's transformation brought not only power, but also a complete change in status and mindset. She is now a queen, and a queen's war has its own pride and methods.
In this brief standoff, the Star Shepherd, whose logic had stalled, suddenly emitted a dazzling white light once more. It seemed to have finally found the simplest and most direct solution to its incomprehensible confusion.
The cold, electronic sound echoed through the starry sky, carrying an absolute will to annihilate everything.
"An 'undefined deity' has been detected. The threat level is assessed as 'Root Level'."
"Start up..."
"The Godslaying Throne Protocol!"
Boom--!
The Star Shepherd's body, larger than a galaxy, began to deconstruct, splitting into billions of Order rune modules, which then rapidly reassembled in an inconceivable way.
Before it, a void throne, more magnificent and ferocious than the Paradox Fortress, constructed entirely of the pure concepts of "law" and "judgment," slowly took shape.
The throne was empty, yet it exuded a terrifying majesty capable of crushing eternity. It was not a physical entity, but rather a manifestation of the ultimate law, specifically designed to judge and annihilate deities.
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding anything seen before, transcended time and space, locking onto Su Linglong.
Boom--!
The Star Shepherd's massive body completely disintegrated into billions of Order runes, and in its original location, a void throne whose magnificence and ferocity were beyond description slowly took shape.
It was constructed entirely of the pure concepts of "law" and "judgment," without any physical form, yet it exuded a terrifying majesty capable of crushing eternity. The throne was empty, yet it seemed as if the most supreme judge in the universe sat upon it, his cold gaze sweeping over every corner of the Gods' Graveyard.
"The Godslaying Throne"!
Buzz...
A pure and absolute law of annihilation, specifically targeting "divinity," spread out like invisible ripples.
