He Transforms into Freedom, He Transforms into All Living Beings!
In the Divine Realm, within the Asura God Temple.
The Asura God, who had been sitting serenely on his blood-red throne, watching the mortal realm below, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He could clearly sense that his attack had been frozen in mid-air.
The spacetime of the Douluo Continent dimension was directly locked.
The Asura God's heart surged with shock and disbelief. He muttered to himself, his voice filled with utter astonishment. "What a joke! When did such a being appear on the Douluo Continent? To directly freeze the spacetime of an entire plane—perhaps only the Time and Space Dragon King's fusion technique could barely touch that threshold, but this power far exceeds the Time and Space Dragon King's limits back then!"
He was shaken and immediately mobilized his divine sense, trying to penetrate the dimensional barrier and trace the source of this power.
But the next second, an indescribable chill followed his divine sense and coiled around his Divine Soul.
The Asura God suddenly raised his head, his blood-red divine eyes abruptly contracting.
Unbeknownst to him, a person was standing quietly in front of his crimson throne.
The man stood quietly in the crimson divine light of the temple, without concealing his face, without a cloak, and without a mask.
No matter how much the Asura God used all his divine sense and mobilized all his Asura God eyes to examine him closely, he still couldn't make out the other's appearance.
His face was like a constantly changing phantom.
One second, he seemed like a compassionate Buddha with lowered brows; the next, he became a cold and ruthless Asura; and in an instant, he transformed into a high and mighty Deity who ruled over all the heavens.
Upon closer inspection, one can see the appearances of mortals, Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and the dead—all living beings in the world—changing across that face.
He has no fixed outline, no face that belongs to him alone; he is free, he is time, he is all living beings, he is all things!
The next second, an aura that surpassed all the laws of the Divine Realm slowly spread out, enveloping the entire Asura God Temple.
Asura God's entire body tensed up instinctively with Asura Divine Power, his blood-red divine robes fluttered wildly without wind, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand trembled slightly, giving rise to a fear that originated from the source.
As the chief god of law enforcement in the Divine Realm, he had killed countless people, and others had always feared him. This was the first time in countless years that he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
The man didn't speak, he just stood there quietly. But the invisible pressure was so great that even the Asura God had difficulty breathing.
At the bottom of the Lake of Life in the lower realm, Su Zui, imprisoned by time and space, still had his consciousness functioning. He looked at the crimson divine light hovering in front of his nose, at the tortoise shell phantom suspended in Electrolux's palm, and then at the solidified time-space barrier above the sky.
He vaguely sensed that an unimaginable being, surpassing even the gods, had intervened to protect him at that moment.
Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what had happened, she was relieved that Xiao Zui was alright.
Gu Yuena lay on the water plants, her purple-gold eyes filled with confusion.
She had lived for billions of years, knew all the secrets after the fall of the Dragon God, had seen the gods of the Divine Realm, and had seen the Nine Great Dragon Kings, but she had never heard of such an existence hidden in the Douluo Plane.
Electrolux hovered in mid-air, the phantom of the tortoise shell in his palm slowly fading, his aged eyes filled with endless astonishment and doubt.
He had traversed the battlefields of life and death across the Sacred Demon Continent, and witnessed the Necromantic Great Dao, yet he had never encountered such a power that transcended time, space, life and death, and divine authority.
In the Divine Realm, the Asura God sat atop his blood-red throne, his throat tightening as he stared intently at the figure before him, a being that embodied the "manifestation of all beings."
His initial murderous intent was gradually consumed by a chilling fear.
Just who is this person?
The person finally moved slowly. There were no footsteps, no fluctuations of Soul Power, only a slight lift of their eyes. The invisible gaze that transcended planes landed on the Asura God Temple in the Divine Realm on one side and on the bottom of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest on the other.
The voices of all living beings filled the entire plane and the entire Divine Realm, echoing softly.
"This road should be preserved."
These four simple words, though lacking overwhelming power, carry an unyielding will.
The Soul Spirit Symbiosis Path is a path to survival opened by Su Zui, a turning point that the Soul Beast Clan has waited for for billions of years. This path should not be arbitrarily erased by the divine authority of the Divine Realm.
The Asura God trembled, and his blood-red, murderous Divine Power receded inch by inch under the influence of these four words.
He wanted to refute, to insist on his judgment, but he found that he was even deprived of the right to speak. The solidified crimson divine light, under this gaze, gradually faded its murderous red glow, turning into tiny specks of light that silently dissipated into the air at the bottom of the lake.
The figure of all beings turned its gaze back to the Asura God; the illusory face revealed neither joy nor anger.
"The Divine Realm must not arbitrarily interfere with the nascent path of the lower realm."
The Asura God clenched his teeth, a thousand thoughts churning within his mind.
He knew that his attempt to kill had failed this time. If he insisted on continuing and provoking this unknown being, the entire Divine Realm might have to bear unimaginable consequences.
But he was not willing to give up.
With the surge in the Soul Beast's fortune and the formation of a symbiotic path, the hidden danger of the Dragon God will inevitably resurface sooner or later.
If left unchecked, the tragedy of the Dragon God leading the dragon race in war against the Divine Realm might very well repeat itself. He suppressed his fear, gripped the Asura Demon Sword tightly, and spoke in a hoarse voice, carrying the last vestige of the supreme god's resolve. "This child is tainting the fate of Soul Beasts and shaking the order Divine Realm. If left unchecked, the consequences will be endless."
The myriad faces of all beings watched him calmly, flashing in and out. "Order is not static. The old cycle was based on slaughter, so let the new cycle begin with symbiosis."
"In the future, Dark Turmoil will ensue. This universe is too low-level; only when humans, gods, and Beast Gods coexist and restore the universe's fortune can there be a glimmer of hope for survival. As the God Realm Enforcer, you should prioritize the well-being of all living beings."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle yet irresistible force pushed away the Asura God's divine sense, cutting off his view of the Douluo Plane.
The Asura God discovered that he could no longer penetrate the dimensional barrier and lock onto Su Zui's aura.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Lake of Life the lower realm, the time-space shackles that had frozen everything began to slowly loosen.
Electrolux was the first to regain his senses.
His illusory shoulder twitched slightly, and the power of death began to flow again. He looked down at the tortoise shell in his palm, which had become dormant, and let out a long sigh of relief, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In that instant, he was prepared for his Divine Soul to be annihilated, but he never expected that such a being, whom even the Asura God feared to the extreme, would appear and stop everything.
Su Zui twitched his fingers slightly, and the long-lost power returned to his limbs and bones.
He looked up at the sky, where the spacetime confinement that had enveloped the entire plane was slowly dissolving. The emerald green light spots that had been floating in the air began to drift away again, and the solidified blood droplets fell onto the water plants, making soft, rustling sounds.
Qian Renxue's tense body went limp, her twelve wings drooping slightly. She immediately turned to look at Su Zui, her eyes filled with lingering fear. She reached out and grabbed his wrist, her fingertips trembling slightly. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Su Zui shook his head, his gaze fixed on the surface of the lake, a profound shock surging within him.
He secretly made a guess, and the tall, imposing figure from his memory involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Gu Yuena propped herself up and slowly sat up, her long silver-blue hair stained with seaweed and blood. She also looked up at the sky, the confusion in her purple-gold vertical pupils gradually fading, replaced by a complex emotion that even she herself could not explain.
That figure, embodying the essence of all beings, cast one last glance at the Asura God within the Asura God Temple of the Divine Realm.
On that ever-changing face, compassion and indifference intertwined, transforming into an extremely soft and faint sigh.
Then, his figure, along with the invisible pressure that enveloped the entire temple, slowly dissipated in the scarlet divine light, as if he had never existed.
The Asura God sat alone on his blood-red throne, remaining silent for a very long time.
"Dark Turmoil has spread throughout the entire universe..."
