Final Divine Battle, Chronicles of the Stars

To be honest, given the previous leniency shown to him by the Divine Realm, You Chen believed that his attainment of a Quasi-God King position should be within their tolerance.

So this visit isn't necessarily to demand an explanation, but could simply be to confirm information.

If we really want to cause trouble, the only factors besides the Quasi-God King's position are the Silver Dragon King.

However, although the Silver Dragon King and his companions were very careful and constantly on guard against the Divine Realm, from You Chen's perspective as a third party, the Divine Realm didn't seem to care much about what the Silver Dragon King and the Soul Beast were doing.

Just as You Chen had told the Silver Dragon King before, the power of Soul Beast was far too weak compared to the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm was completely superior to the lower realms like the Douluo World, while the Soul Beast power, excluding the Silver Dragon King, was essentially on par with a lower realm.

Even with a certain God's-eye view, You Chen could not fully comprehend the thoughts of the God Realm Committee.

If it's just a simple exchange, then everyone's happy. But if it really comes down to war, he's not afraid at all.

A month has passed, and he has already fully transformed six of his God Ring, with the purity of his Stardust Divine Power exceeding 30%.

The former means that his divine power has reached the top level of Second-Level God.

The latter means that he truly possesses a certain level of endurance in god-level battles.

Divine power is a nearly non-renewable resource, and since he has not yet joined the God Realm Committee, the word "nearly" can be removed, meaning that every bit used is a bit less.

However, You Chen used the Stardust Divine Power.

In addition to possessing the energy properties of Cosmic Power, it can also be restored by absorbing Cosmic Power.

However, You Chen has not yet achieved complete transformation. Even with three Divine Core, the mana regeneration speed of the Stardust Divine Power with 30% purity is estimated to be about the same as that of a normal Second-Level God.

Therefore, saying it is "not false" is actually similar to the "Great Accomplishment Body challenging the Great Emperor" in Shrouding the Heavens.

His preparations are insufficient, and now is not the best time to start a war.

His accumulated savings from the limited-time cards, combined with Silver Moon's sponsorship, are enough to unlock the eighth God Ring. The best time to start the war, of course, is after the God Ring are unlocked.

But if a fight really breaks out, he won't be afraid to back down.

He's not the chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Universe. He's had such a smooth journey for so long. If he hopes to continue having such a smooth journey, it would be a bit greedy.

You can't expect the enemy to wait until you're fully prepared before making a move, can you?

You Chen comforted Silver Moon in his Soul Ring, asking her to continue helping him transform the God Ring while he focused on comprehending and transforming the Stardust Divine Power. At the same time, he created an avatar to meet the envoy from the Divine Realm.

It's the same male God Envoy from last time.

"Please invite the Star God to ascend to the Divine Realm and take your place."

"Wait until I've finished arranging the trivial matters in the lower realm."

"Only three days."

"No, it will take at least a year."

"Only three days."

"Nothing to discuss?"

"This is the will of the God-King."

"That means there's nothing to discuss."

You Chen sighed softly, and under the horrified gaze of the God Envoy, he grabbed the messenger by the neck.

The Divine Sense directly invaded its sea of consciousness, and with the preliminary application of the laws of the soul, it unearthed its memory information.

Such an action is almost equivalent to the Divine Realm directly breaking off relations.

You Chen didn't want to do this either.

However, he absolutely could not accept the idea of the Divine Realm directly taking him to heaven.

Soon, he got the answer from the God Envoy's memories.

Simply put, You Chen's unbridled imprisonment of deities has fueled discontent within the God Realm Committee.

You Chen's plan to govern the lower realms also made the gods think he was very restless.

So, at the council of gods, the gods casually made a resolution that "although You Chen had not yet become a god, his power was no different from that of a god. The previous ten years had exceeded the limit of his stay, and he must go to the heavenly realm immediately."

However, You Chen is not so oblivious to the real reason that he has not seen through it.

It's a concern.

In the eyes of the gods, You Chen was already an uncontrollable pawn.

Now that he has condensed the position of Quasi-God King, who knows if his strength will increase to the point that they will completely lose control if he stays in the lower realm for a few more years?

After all, You Chen didn't seem like the type of person who would easily submit to someone else.

Since things have come to this point, war is the only option.

Or rather, this battle was inevitable.

No matter how much Pure Divine Power one possesses, it still takes a considerable amount of time to complete the transformation of the God Ring.

Given the importance the God Realm Committee places on him, it's impossible for them to allow him to quietly accumulate power.

Furthermore, given the precious Star God Position, it's even less likely they'd let him escape.

With a snap, to the God Envoy's incredulous gaze, You Chen crushed his neck.

Immediately afterwards, You Chen flashed through the atmosphere and arrived in the void of space outside the planet.

Perhaps they didn't expect You Chen to actually dare to kill the God Envoy. In any case, the God Realm Committee reacted for several days before a god descended.

"You Chen, you have violated the laws of the Divine Realm. I, the God of Speed, will capture you and bring you to justice!"

Looking at the God of Speed who was alone and exuding the aura of Second-Level God, You Chen seemed to have ended his dozing and opened his eyes, his expression calm and composed.

The Martial Soul Possession, manifesting in the basic form of the Stardust Dragon.

The Divine Core rotates, Stardust Divine Power operates at the minimum power level where the loss is less than the recovery.

The God of Speed, while uttering those harsh words, had already attacked You Chen.

With the blessing of its divine power, its speed increased dramatically.

The same divine power applied to You Chen only had a slowing effect.

He used the Speed Authority as soon as he made a move, not because he needed to use his full strength to catch a rabbit, but simply to prevent You Chen from escaping.

It was common knowledge among the gods that You Chen was incredibly fast.

The reason the God of Speed was sent to capture You Chen was that the power of speed would allow him to be faster than You Chen, while making You Chen slower than the other gods, so that he wouldn't escape.

The speed authority, which would normally slow down Second-Level God's body, fell on You Chen, yet it was as if it were nothing.

The speed of the Divine Core's operation suddenly increased, and the power of the Stardust Divine Power suddenly increased by two levels, surpassing the second level of power where loss and recovery were balanced, and reaching the third level of power that could maximize the potential of the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul.

You Chen's figure suddenly shot out, surpassing the maximum speed of the God of Speed in an instant. In the God of Speed's horrified gaze, the Golden Sword in his hand, which had already transformed into a divine weapon, slashed out at a speed that surpassed the ability of ordinary Second-Level God to catch.

"Impossible..."

You Chen and the God of Speed passed each other, and with a single strike, he cut the God of Speed in half at the waist.

And so he perished!

This outcome is entirely expected.

A mere Second-Level God is no different from an ant when facing You Chen, who has reached the threshold of god-king with just his physical body.

The God of Speed believed he could suppress You Chen in speed, but little did he know that his speed authority was completely ineffective against You Chen. When used on himself, the numerical increase might surpass You Chen's acceleration Rule Trait, but his own rank remained below those acceleration characteristics. He himself had no special divine body or divine power; he was merely a Second-Level God.

Therefore, the strengths of the God of Speed become meaningless.

After he took the initiative to compete with You Chen in his strengths, his defeat became inevitable.

After killing the God of Speed with a single blow, You Chen's Stardust Divine Power circulation speed returned to the lowest level of the first stage.

You Chen never forgot to continue improving.

However, this time, only a few minutes later, a powerful aura descended.

"It's rare to see the Divine Realm so efficient."

You Chen turned his head to look at Poseidon, the Sea God body was surging with terrifying azure waves of divine power and whose expression was complicated. Finally, a change appeared in his expression.

That was an excited look on his face.

"You are a top-tier First-Level God; perhaps you can give me a taste of battle."

Poseidon looked at You Chen with a complicated expression and sighed softly, "You Chen, I originally had high hopes for you. But... never mind! Let you atone for the sin of destroying my faith in the lower realm!"

Poseidon said nothing more, his expression solemn, and summoned the Trident of the Sea God, which he held in his hand.

Besides excitement, You Chen's eyes also held a hint of solemnity.

Even the most powerful First-Level God would need to go all out.

The next second, You Chen's mind fell into absolute silence. Facing the aggressive Sea God, he took the initiative to meet him.

In an instant, the light of evolution shone brightly, and the appearance of the Martial Soul changed drastically, taking the form of Meteor Dragon.

Simply maintaining this state normally allows the power of Stardust Divine Power to reach the second level.

However, if used in battles between gods of the same level, it would be at least at level four power.

At this power level, You Chen can only maintain this for a maximum of one hour.

It may seem like a long time, but to the gods, this time is pitifully short.

Poseidon's first move was his ultimate attack.

Divine skill, Uncertain Storm!

The powers of wind and water are completely intertwined, unleashed to their fullest extent through the Trident of the Sea God.

Poseidon knew very well that the speed of You Chen was absolutely terrifying, given that he could instantly kill the God of Speed.

Therefore, he did not underestimate You Chen from the beginning, and his first move was to limit You Chen's speed.

Contrary to what You Chen had imagined, the efficiency of the God Realm Committee was not this fast.

Poseidon was keeping a close eye on You Chen's situation. The moment the God of Speed was defeated, he chose not to go through the procedures in the Divine Realm and went directly to the mortal realm!

In this emergency, he was worried that You Chen, the out-of-control god, would run away, so he no longer cared about the laws of the Divine Realm. Anyway, You Chen had even killed a god, so he figured that the God Realm Committee wouldn't do anything to him by making an exception for this special case.

You Chen saw Poseidon unleash his divine skill immediately, his gaze narrowed slightly.

Just as he had predicted, Poseidon had already subtly embarked on his own path, and this Uncertain Storm was something that Sea God Tang San, could not match.

If I were to take this attack head-on, I would probably be temporarily immobilized.

But...

"Disappeared!?"

Poseidon's pupils dilated violently when he saw the Meteor Dragon suddenly disappear and the Uncertain Storm vanish.

In the next instant, a strong sense of crisis prompted him to instinctively use the defensive divine skill, Star Shift.

Bang!

The violent roar made Poseidon feel his internal organs tremble. Even with the body of First-Level God, he could not completely withstand You Chen's sudden attack when he hastily used defensive measures.

"As expected of a great god with the potential to become a god-king, Poseidon, you have not disappointed me."

You Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Poseidon turned his head and saw the admiring expression on You Chen's face.

"Spatial abilities?" Poseidon suppressed his injuries and asked in a low voice.

You Chen, of course, would not provide any explanation.

He just used the Meteor Dragon's innate ability "Disappearance," instantly transcending time and space, dodging the Uncertain Storm, and then reappearing to launch a sneak attack on Poseidon.

When he vanished, Poseidon completely lost his sense of him. When he reappeared, there was no spatial fluctuation from the teleportation, and Poseidon's Divine Sense did not have time to detect it.

If Poseidon hadn't possessed god-level combat experience and awareness, that instant would have been enough to severely injure him.

Now, even with the effort of resisting, it is by no means pleasant.

'If we try again, it won't be as unexpected as the first time. It seems we won't be able to kill him anytime soon.'

You Chen Xin, abruptly reduced his divine power to the second level of lossless mode, and then turned and fled.

Although Poseidon was injured, he could not let You Chen off so easily.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that his fear of You Chen has deepened, and he worries that if he lets You Chen escape this time, given the latter's terrifying growth rate, the entire Divine Realm might be overthrown by him.

He fled, and he pursued.

Although Poseidon is a top-tier First-Level God, You Chen's speed, even without unleashing his maximum speed, is still superior to Poseidon's.

Poseidon chased You Chen for almost half a month, maintaining his divine power at its highest level and using his special moves to hinder You Chen from time to time, but he barely managed to keep up with him.

During this time, You Chen continued to grow stronger.

Now, maintaining the Second-Level God power is enough to restore the state to some extent, rather than remaining unchanged.

At a certain moment.

Poseidon's anxiety suddenly turned into a smile, "You Chen, I'm waiting for reinforcements. What are you waiting for?"

Five beams of supreme light joined together to form a ring, descending from the sky like a diamond ring, enveloping the You Chen.

That is the supreme authority and divine artifact of the Divine Realm, the God Sealing Jade, which can only be used by the Five Great God Kings at the same time when facing a god who has committed a great sin.

Its greatest function is—to seal off divine positions.

Then, through the sealed divine position, they contacted You Chen and completely imprisoned all his power.

In the starry sky.

The Five Great God Kings— Destruction God King of Life, Kindness God King and Evil God King, Asura— appeared, followed by more than a dozen powerful First-Level God, surrounding You Chen.

Having already realized You Chen's power, those Second-Level God were of no use against You Chen. At this moment, only the great gods above the First-Level God were participating in this war to destroy gods.

"The sinful You Chen, surrender now."

The Asura God, who was in charge of the laws of the Divine Realm, pronounced his judgment in a low voice, his words devoid of anger or any other emotion.

You Chen looked at Poseidon and revealed a carefree smile, "Of course I'm waiting for you all to gather together, and then I'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop!"

The God Sealing Jade did indeed seal You Chen's divine position, greatly limiting the Stardust Divine Power maintained by the divine position.

But...

You Chen's will overwhelmed reality, but he broke free in an instant, and his innate ability "Disappearance" was then unleashed.

Subtlety, Spirit Realm, perfection, and then, the very last thing... is divine will (law).

Or rather, willpower.

This is the ultimate realm of the Martial Soul Origin power.

By overwriting reality with one's own will, a perfect Martial Soul domain that covers reality is formed, thereby controlling the Rule Authority.

Similar to the mental world in Fate.

This is proof that You Chen has truly and completely mastered the power of his Martial Soul.

Even if his divine position is sealed, he can still use his divine will to overwrite reality, fight against the confinement of the God Sealing Jade, and forcibly use the Stardust Divine Power to break it.

"Impossible!"

The Meteor Dragon suddenly disappeared, leaving the gods astonished and terrified.

It was as if something extremely ominous was about to happen.

At the same time as he vanished, You Chen had already used the Martial Soul Limit Sublimation Card (temporary) obtained from Bibi Dong's first blood mission.

You Chen's statement about "catching them all in one fell swoop" was not an exaggeration.

His top speed far surpasses Poseidon's, so escaping from Poseidon's grasp would not be difficult.

However, if they do not want to continue to flee in the future, they must face the powerful gods of the Divine Realm.

The two Martial Soul Sublimation Cards are his trump cards that enable him to possess God King Level combat power.

Simply Martial Soul Evolution is insufficient to fundamentally change one's strength due to inadequate divine power supply.

However, if that's the case, the reward wouldn't be enough to compensate for the difficulty of obtaining the task.

Therefore, using the Martial Soul Sublimation Card will not result in a problem of insufficient energy.

As long as You Chen's output power can keep up, he will use the energy of the Martial Soul Sublimation Card itself.

The system gives a minimum usage time of one hour.

Undoubtedly, this is another system bug, but it is still a benign bug.

This was You Chen's final trump card in daring to face a God-King level expert.

The only problem is that it doesn't last long enough.

Therefore, if the God Kings were to disperse, and this trump card, which can only be used twice, were used up, You Chen would have no choice but to hide.

That's why You Chen deliberately entangled himself with Poseidon, so that the gods could complete the encirclement and then be wiped out by him.

"Evolve..."

As You Chen Xin, holy light flowed around the Meteor Dragon.

Then, a giant dragon, seemingly composed entirely of white, ferocious weapons, descended upon the world.

This is— the Shooting Star Dragon.

Ferocity and holiness, contradictory dualities, manifest in this world.

The gods had no time to be surprised.

Because terrifying energy has already erupted in all directions from the core of the Shooting Star Dragon.

"Heaven and Earth Creation Strike!"

With a terrifying dragon roar, a dazzling energy attack covered the entire cosmic sky.

The terrifying explosion reduced nearby small meteorite clusters to dust, and even the closest small world was engulfed in countless natural disasters by the aftershocks.

In a single, unexpected attack, all the weaker First-Level God were annihilated.

Even top-tier First-Level God like Poseidon, the Sea God, survived, but were severely injured and lost their ability to fight.

Only the Five Great God Kings, though covered in dust and dirt, suffered only minor injuries.

Even the usually expressionless Asura God showed anger.

However, this anger was not expressed verbally. Instead, taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, he silently attacked You Chen with the Asura God Sword, like an assassin in the shadows.

That extreme threat made You Chen realize that the Asura God definitely had the ability to kill him!

If the Meteor Dragon is God King Level Martial Soul, then the Shooting Star Dragon is a transcendent level Martial Soul that surpasses the God King Level and is even more powerful than the former Dragon God.

However, its strength is ultimately limited by the You Chen itself.

Its output is ultimately You Chen, a Second-Level God.

Even with the effect of the Martial Soul Sublimation Card, it can output without limit and maintain the maximum power of Second-Level God at all times.

Just as Second-Level God can briefly unleash the power of First-Level God when he doesn't care about the consumption of energy or his own life, You Chen is able to maintain the power of First-Level God at all times.

All things considered, You Chen possesses the combat strength of a top-tier God-King.

Even if a god's body is stronger than that of an ordinary god-king, it is impossible to ignore the Asura God, who possesses the killing power of a top-tier god-king.

Fortunately, the Martial Soul Sublimation Card and the Martial Soul Limit Sublimation Card cannot be the same.

The Martial Soul Sublimation Card alone is enough to allow You Chen to ascend in one go, becoming the Shooting Star Dragon.

The Ultimate Ascension Card signifies the pinnacle of possibilities, even the limits of the world can be broken.

In a flash of light, You Chen had transformed from Shooting Star Dragon into Cosmic Flare Dragon.

If Shooting Star Dragon is the strongest offensive type, Cosmic Flare Dragon is the strongest defensive type. When it was a Yu-Gi-Oh! -Oh! card, there were often stories of duelists (players) dying while Radiant Dragon remained alive.

As the Asura God Sword was unleashed, the illusory images of planets appeared around the Cosmic Flare Dragon, forming a spherical barrier that perfectly blocked the attack without causing any shock.

The Asura God was incredulous, exclaiming like a roadside fish, "Impossible!"

Just as the Asura God's attack was completely neutralized, the other four God Kings did not sit idly by and wait.

Kindness God King and Evil God King, Destruction God King of life—while the attacks of the Four Great Gods are not as powerful as those of the Asura God, they possess many mystical or even bizarre aspects.

Faced with such an attack, the Cosmic Flare Dragon was able to defend perfectly, but it was difficult to launch a counterattack.

You Chen Chenlong's eyes were solemn.

The Martial Soul Limit Sublimation Card represents the pinnacle of possibility and the ultimate expression of imagination.

'Since that's the case...'

The Cosmic Radiant Edge Dragon has changed again. This time, however, it is not the final form of the Stardust Dragon that appeared in the original work. Instead, it is similar to the Salvation Stardust Dragon, but with a more sacred and majestic appearance.

Its name is—

"Salvation Stardust Dragon!"

Upon completing the naming, You Chen immediately sensed its special ability, just as he had when transforming into his other two forms.

After reaching the level of divine will where he has complete control over his Martial Soul, You Chen can now instantly gain complete control over it no matter how Martial Soul changes.

"Ultimate Sublimation Absorption!"

That was born from the Salvation Stardust Dragon, yet it was able to completely absorb the power of even the gods.

The attacks of the Five Great God Kings were completely absorbed by the Salvation Stardust Dragon, and then released in return.

Four of the Five Great God Kings have opposing forces, so You Chen deliberately used the opposite forces to attack.

This power, which was completely beyond the comprehension of the gods, prevented them from reacting immediately and caused them real trauma.

This is an unprecedented, mythical battle.

You Chen constantly adapted his combat style to the changing battle situation, thereby expanding his advantages.

Apart from the Five Great God Kings, even Poseidon, First-Level God, perished in the aftermath of the battle like cannon fodder.

The Five Great God Kings were already filled with fear and eager to escape, but for the ever-changing You Chen, there was naturally no shortage of the ability to forcibly keep them there.

The heavens have been transformed into a starry arena, and none of the Five Great God Kings will be able to escape before the war ends.

"Don't rush! His power is definitely not limitless!"

The Asura God, with the strongest combat ability, had already seen through the situation and was trying to stabilize the morale of the troops.

As the one who understands life the most deeply, the Life God King also expressed his opinion. "He used explosive means to unleash the power of a God-King level with the strength of First-Level God, despite the essence of Second-Level God. He cannot withstand such damage for long."

This statement greatly reassured the gods.

While the facts differed slightly from what these two statements said, it was also true that You Chen could only maintain this state for one hour.

In a sense, it was a lucky accident.

The life essence of the five god-kings is extremely powerful, incomparable to that of First-Level God.

You Chen's attack did not exceed the level of a God-King, it was impossible for him to cause an overwhelming and instant kill like he would with First-Level God.

It's impossible to kill all five people in a short time... no... at this rate, we won't even be able to kill one of them before the time limit expires.

After all, they were a team of five, not one-on-one.

Despite the circumstances, You Chen maintained an absolutely cold and indifferent mind, showing no intention of backing down.

He did leave himself an escape route, but now is not the time to retreat.

Because he knew that he still hadn't unlocked the full potential of this Martial Soul Limit Sublimation Card.

He has not yet truly reached the pinnacle of possibility.

"Martial Soul Limit Sublimation Card, Stardust Dragon Martial Soul, I command you! Let me see your limits!"

With a low growl, the top-level Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water You Chen had forcibly reached under the sublimation of his Martial Soul showed a slight disturbance.

The shift from extreme stillness to extreme motion caused the Martial Soul to undergo another transformation, an unprecedented one.

It was an unprecedentedly brilliant golden light, distinct from the previous holy white light.

Even if they couldn't uncover the truth, the gods could clearly sense that this change was extraordinary and far surpassed anything before.

"How could this be? How could he have changed again!"

The God King's mental breakdown at this moment was like playing a Souls-like game, having exhausted all his resources and reached the end of his rope, finally managing to defeat the third stage of the hidden BOSS, only to find that the BOSS had a damn fourth stage.

Before their eyes, a golden dragon, unlike its previous sanctity, appeared, radiating ultimate sublimity and majesty.

That is one of the forms of Stardust Dragon, True Flash Aurora Dragon · Stardust Chronicles, which is seven parts similar, but is much more majestic and noble, like a golden dragon like a true emperor.

It was as if You Chen, as the Starshine Emperor, was manifesting the absolute imperial spirit within his heart.

"As a new starting point in the history of the Starshine God Emperor's rule over the universe, let's call it [True Dragon God · Stardust Chronicles]," You Chen said.

Countless incarnations separated from the True Dragon God and then transformed into the ultimate forms of Stardust Dragon.

Salvation Stardust Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon, Cosmic Flare Dragon, Cosmic Quasar Dragon, Holy Aurora Dragon · Stardust Zero, Shooting Star Salvation Stardust Dragon...

Looking at these familiar figures, despair filled the faces of the god-kings.

The moment the Chronicles of the Stars were born, the battle came to an end.

After killing all the First-Level God and the Five Great God Kings, while the Martial Soul sublimation was still ongoing, You Chen used the supreme power of the True Dragon God to unleash the "Heaven and Earth Creation Strike and Earth," which surpassed the Shooting Star Dragon, thus opening up the Divine Realm and the Starshine World.

This channel, formed by the power of both creation and Destruction God King, is so stable that even a god-king cannot destroy it.

The influx of Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Divine Realm into the Starshine World will gradually transform it into a new core of all realms.

Subsequently, the other small worlds originally under the rule of the Divine Realm will also be opened up one by one and fall under You Chen's rule, but this can be done slowly, and he is not in a hurry.

He had not yet cultivated to the final level and truly mastered the power of the True Dragon God.

Before that, the first step is naturally to eliminate any potential risks.

It didn't take long for You Chen to arrive at one of the closest worlds to the Starshine World — the Abyss World.

Before him, Tang San had been reincarnated as Abyss Demon, possessing power comparable to Limit Douluo.

After all, "Douluo Continent" is not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel where you can become invincible by signing in. No matter how fast Tang San becomes stronger, there are still some basic rules to follow. Tang San has only been reincarnated for a little over ten years, and his current level of cultivation is already considered heaven-defying in the Douluo Universe.

But to You Chen, he was nothing more than an ant, not even at the level of a god.

With just a flick of his finger, it was completely wiped out, even the soul was annihilated before You Chen had only just begun to grasp the Dao of the Soul.

Throughout the entire story, Tang San was completely unaware that he had an enemy named You Chen.

Then...

The great Starshine Emperor has returned to his supreme realm.

(Over)
