Sacred Law Erasure

Qin Chuan's words echoed through the Command Center, leaving Dies Martin and Aleisa silent for a moment.

Yes, the times had changed, and so had the rules.

Yet for this man, it seemed that nothing had changed at all.

He had always been the hunter.

Qin Chuan offered no further explanation. His consciousness sank into his personal interface, and the brand-new Divine Authority System unfolded before him.

Divine Authority System

Name: Qin Chuan

Divine Authority Level: Level 1 (Newborn God)

Current Divine Authorities:

1. Core Divine Authority: Assassination (Supreme Quality): Originating from your Godhead, this is your fundamental authority.

2. Law Divine Authority: Shadow/Death/Space: Originating from the laws you have mastered. It can be upgraded by devouring Law Fragments or Godheads of the same origin.

3. Plunder Divine Authority: Guardianship/Law: Originating from gods you have slain/defeated. It can be slowly analyzed into your own power or used for trade.

4. Hidden Divine Authority: Blood: Originating from "Blood Shadow Sovereign"

5. Hidden Divine Authority: ??? (Not Activated):

The information on the interface was clear and straightforward.

Most of it was within Qin Chuan's expectations. Only the final two "Hidden Divine Authorities" stirred a faint ripple within his otherwise calm soul.

Blood Shadow Sovereign.

He had not expected Apocalypse to detect even the godly avatar he had hidden in the Shadow Domain.

Then again, if it could not even detect the Blood Shadow Sovereign, Apocalypse might as well give up.

Fortunately, only he could see this Divine Authority interface, so he did not have to worry about this trump card being exposed ahead of time.

What concerned Qin Chuan most was the fifth Hidden Divine Authority.

He actually had another Divine Authority that had yet to be activated?

"Could it be a Divine Authority left behind by the Will Shard of the Arrow God?"

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, but quickly dismissed the speculation.

The Arrow God's strength should not have reached that level.

"Looks like this game is even bigger than I imagined."

Qin Chuan withdrew his consciousness, and the information on the interface quietly vanished.

This intelligence, visible only to him, was his greatest trump card.

As he pondered, Dies Martin's voice sounded beside him.

"So that means you're now the most conspicuous target in the eyes of every god."

There was not the slightest concern in Dies Martin's tone. Instead, it carried an excitement that seemed eager for the world to descend into chaos.

As the Lord of Lies and Deceit born from the abyss, Dies Martin was no kind soul.

"Shadow Mister, you have condensed a Supreme Quality Godhead Prototype. Whether they are existing gods or those aspiring to become gods, you are the most suitable target. If they devour your Godhead and gain more Divine Authorities, they will surely break through to a higher level."

"No god will pass up this opportunity."

Aleisa continued, her Night Domain retracting around her as she assessed the current situation.

"The God of Light System has probably already erupted into chaos. They will not allow an enemy with such terrifying potential to grow safely."

"They will definitely come, and they will come at any cost."

Yingluo Yezakura, Ji Xing, and the other core members of Peak Guild listened to the analysis of the two gods, feeling a chill crawl up their spines.

They had just been exhilarated by their guild leader's ascension to godhood, only to realize in the next moment that it was merely the beginning of another grander, bloodier war.

"Then let them come."

Qin Chuan's answer was crisp and decisive.

His gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling on Di Jia Ling Yu and Oudis.

"Absorb the 'Guardianship' Law Fragments as soon as possible. The new defensive line needs you to build it."

He then turned to Yingluo Yezakura and Yin Mie.

"The power of the 'Shadow' law will make your assassinations even deadlier. Go familiarize yourselves with it."

He did not offer many words to bolster morale. He merely issued the most direct orders.

Turn the spoils into strength and prepare for the challenges ahead.

"I also need time to digest the gains from this battle."

Qin Chuan made his final decision.

Over ten million Divine Essence, a newly born Supreme Godhead, and several powerful Divine Authority traits—he needed to gain complete control over all of them.

And aside from the Divine Essence consumed to Condense Godhead, he still had more than four million remaining. That too needed to be converted into combat power as soon as possible.

Before absolute strength, all Schemes and Tricks were futile.

At the same time.

Above the endless void lay the core sacred domain of the God Realm of Light cluster.

There were no sun, moon, or stars here, only eternal, undying light.

Every trace of aura was formed from pure God of Light Power. Not even the faintest shadow or impurity could exist in this place.

A bedraggled streak of silver light pierced through layer upon layer of planar barriers and stumbled down before a magnificent holy temple.

As the light faded, it revealed Aisera's shattered divine body.

The faceless silver crown above her head was covered in cracks. The radiance leaking from her divine body was dim and chaotic, and she no longer possessed even a fraction of the Goddess of Sacred Law's majesty.

The moment she steadied herself, an utterly emotionless will descended from the deepest part of the temple.

"Aisera."

That voice seemed to be light itself—vast, majestic, and beyond question.

Aisera's divine body trembled as she prostrated her proud form toward the depths of the temple.

"Great God of Light, I..."

"Your divine realm has been destroyed."

The God of Light interrupted her, stating a fact.

"Your authority has been damaged."

"Your ally has fallen."

Every word was like a massive hammer forged from holy light, smashing viciously into Aisera's soul.

"It was because of that heretic! He forged a Godhead! A Supreme Quality Godhead never seen before! I..." Aisera tried to defend herself, her Divine Sense filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"I know."

The God of Light's voice remained calm.

"I also know that you sacrificed Guardian God Toran and traded his life for your chance to escape."

The light within the temple suddenly intensified a hundredfold.

Under its radiance, Aisera's soul let out a pained shriek.

She felt her laws, her divinity, and even her thoughts laid completely bare before this pure light.

"You bear the name of order, yet you broke order."

"You bear the name of law, yet you trampled upon the covenant."

At last, a trace of emotion entered the God of Light's voice.

It was not anger, but a profound disappointment.

"Aisera, your light is no longer pure."

"Your very existence is a stain upon order."

Aisera abruptly raised her head. For the first time, her Divine Sense beneath the faceless silver crown was filled with terror.

"No! I only wanted to preserve our remaining strength, I..."

A beam of light, pure to the extreme, crashed down from the dome of the temple and precisely engulfed her completely.

Within the pillar of light, all of Aisera's struggles and explanations turned into silent illusions.

Her shattered divine body, along with her damaged Godhead, began to slowly dissolve in the light, breaking down into the most primal Source of Light.

"Your sins, I have accepted."

"Your power will be used to forge a sharper sword, one that will judge the true heretic."

The pillar of light dispersed.

The Goddess of Sacred Law was gone, as though she had never existed.
