The real world.
The explosion was like thunder, and no one knew whether Li Chen inside was dead. However, the several Supreme Beings suddenly felt a tremor run through their bodies... a feeling of fear and horror, as if something terrible was about to happen.
With a "buzzing" sound.
In an instant, a black beam of light shot into the sky.
A figure slowly rose from the epicenter of the explosion...
Not only was the Light Fiend dumbfounded... almost all of these Supreme Beings were stunned...
"This is an attempt to break through to the God Realm!"
"How long has he been in the wilderness?"
"Has it been a year?"
Dunhuang held the fishing rod for a long time without making a move. He sighed, finally let go of the rod, and looked at Li Chen expectantly.
Others, however, had different opinions.
However, no action was taken.
Because ascending to godhood is never easy; at least in their eyes, failing to do so means certain death.
At this very moment.
Facing the immense black light, Li Chen looked into the sky, his gaze reaching into the abyss. A phantom staircase leading to the heavens appeared before him, its end unseen, and six Authority protected him from all sides.
The Authority representing the rules flew out.
A dazzling white light burst Dao Initiation, the illusory steps solidified slightly, and yet another Authority entered... until all Authority turned to dust, and the road before them solidified like never before.
Li Chen looked around, remained silent for a moment, and then stepped onto the platform.
Click~ Click~
A shattering sound followed.
The sky cracked open, and a gigantic figure appeared in the air.
It was an Eerie Monsters, and one whose realm was very close to Eerie Monsters of the God Realm... Not only it, but as the sound of the sky shattering grew stronger, its murmurs echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The Rules Cage that Li Chen had set up has dissipated.
At this moment, the Eerie Monsters was finally able to step into the human world.
However, Li Chen only had this road in his eyes.
"Freedom... freedom that seems so far away."
It's right in front of me.
At that moment, Li Chen suddenly heard that familiar voice.
"Yes, I've always been here."
"Li Chen, boldly step forward, step out of that 'one,' step out of that 'me.'"
Li Chen chuckled softly and continued forward.
With each step he took, the cracking sound grew stronger, and the Forbidden Authority floating in front of him gradually merged into his body.
Between heaven and earth, countless Forbidden Substances converged into a river and rushed straight into his body.
The ramblings in his mind grew increasingly terrifying, but they did not stop him from continuing to walk. Even as his feet suddenly Mutation, his hands vanished, and his vision went completely dark, Li Chen continued walking.
This is a pain that most people could hardly bear.
Even those in the Wasteland Realm would find it eerie, let alone someone undergoing tribulation.
Within this process, although Li Chen could feel his body changing, he could also feel his body becoming stronger and stronger, and his spiritual power and soul level were increasing. His life was transforming with the Forbidden, like two yin and yang fish swimming, gradually intertwining and merging. This was the greatest transformation of his life level.
This is also a necessary process for becoming God.
How could a mortal possibly become a god with just that one physical body?
In the end, only ten steps remained.
Li Chen's eyes, hands, and feet have returned, but his body has Mutation so deformed that it is almost unrecognizable, to the point that a single glance from him would kill him; his life level has become "invisible."
His expression remained calm, as if he were indifferent to all emotions—fear, excitement, and so on—of all living beings. Li Chen murmured softly, "Forbidden... in the end, will emotions still be erased?"
Will those memories still remain?
"Am I still me?" But with one step, the whole world fell silent and still. Black rain began to fall from the sky, and all the Eerie Monsters that had just entered this planet turned into Forbidden Substance and poured down.
Humans began to Mutation upon first contact.
However, some of the Sequence User actually withstood this purge thanks to their physical strength and gradually transformed into the Eerie Race.
This scene shocked countless people.
Many ordinary people stood directly in the torrential black rain, waiting for the Mutation to arrive. In this desperate era, they also wanted to survive and see the future! But these ordinary people did not have the abilities of those Sequence User; they could only seize this opportunity, and the price was life or death. They had no choice.
As Li Chen approached the top, a strange gaze became increasingly pronounced, as if it were staring right in front of him.
It's just invisible.
Could it be that those Gods? Or the ancient gods, have noticed me?
However, this was not the time to pay attention to his gaze. With each step he took, the strangeness of the world became increasingly apparent to him.
Layer upon layer of chains bound the entire planet.
Within the Great Xia region lies an illusory vortex, imbued with the aura of the Reincarnation Authority. At first glance, it resembles a flickering flame, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
"The Reincarnation Authority seems to be about to dissipate completely."
Night has fallen.
With a "hum", Li Chen stepped onto the last step, and at that moment Forbidden Substance seemed to sense the birth of its God, turning into a river that converged with the other side to form a dark, pitch-black throne.
There were no emotions... only an unprecedented calm. He had finally reached the summit, but how much had he lost in the process...?
He hasn't calculated it, nor does he want to.
His life has been too full of twists and turns. His ascension to godhood is just the beginning. He still has a very long way to go.
Li Chen slowly sat on the throne that had been hovering for so long, his gaze looking down upon all living beings. Black Mist surrounded him, leaving only a solitary figure in the dim light.
At that moment, heaven and earth resounded with murmurs, as if praising the birth of God.
The Lord of Taboo is born!
Only a few inappropriate voices rang out.
The Eerie Monsters in the sky were howling irrationally.
Li Chen's gaze remained calm as he lightly snapped his fingers. In an instant, everything was erased by an unknown force, transforming into clumps of Forbidden Substance that merged into the world.
Looking at the figure, Light Fiend murmured, "He... succeeded." At this moment, he also knew the fate of the Human Race, which was destined to perish, but he still wanted to struggle. He transformed into a beam of light and rushed into the sky to meet Li Chen's gaze. However, when they met, the scales between them still collapsed.
With just a glance from Li Chen, Black Mist seemed to appear on Light Fiend's body, gradually corroding his flesh.
Despite the pain, Light Fiend said, "Eerie Lord, could you spare the Human Race?"
"We, the Supreme Beings who have harmed you, will all take our own lives..."
Li Chen looked at him calmly and said, "Human Race?"
"Just a race on the verge of extinction... Even if I don't intervene, they will be devoured by the Eerie Monsters in this endless void. You have no hope, you won't even see the light of salvation."
"That's the result."
"But..." Light Fiend's expression was complicated. For a moment, his mind seemed to explode. In the end, the only one who could help the Human Race Eerie Lord in front of him, but how could he possibly help?
They wanted to kill him, but he was reborn... Now, they only need to think about annihilating the Human Race. They have no conditions to negotiate, not even a price to tempt Li Chen.
Suddenly, Li Chen clenched his fist.
The Light Fiend's body instantly turned into Black Mist and dissipated.
