Ch. 2881The ancient will: Forging the Chaos Void Divine Body
Chapter Summary: Ancient Will, Forging the Chaos Void Divine Body
Key Plot Points and Events
- While the Chaos Mirror Spirit is repaired, the Chaos Divine Axe and Chaos Token assist it, elevating the mirror to the level of a Transcendent Divine Artifact. Jiang Liu now possesses all three of the Chaos Void Lord God’s former Transcendent Divine Artifacts.
- Jiang Liu focuses on forging his own Chaos Void Divine Body rather than watching the artifacts’ progress.
- The Chaos Void Law Source Power within him begins devouring and replacing his original Chaos Law Power. As this transformation proceeds, gray remnants of the old law power are expelled from his body.
- Jiang Liu’s connection to both Chaos Laws and Void Laws strengthens dramatically. He can now control them with far greater ease and can separate the two types of source power when necessary.
- A powerful aura and thunderous disturbance spread across the Eternal Domain, attracting Jiang Wang, Yao Ben, Zou Yan, Ji Tuo, and the other cultivators.
- The group realizes that the aura comes from the cultivator practicing the Chaos Void Sutra—Jiang Liu—and that he is nearing completion of his Chaos Void Divine Body. His next goal will be to challenge Ji Tuo for the Lord God Realm.
- A vision appears in everyone’s consciousness: gentle, colorless light spreads through the void, followed by multicolored lights and the formation of starstones. The Lord Gods recognize this as the primordial birth process of the Void Realm, confirming that Chaos Void Law Source Power is the origin of all Void Realm laws.
- The chapter ends as further changes begin occurring in Jiang Liu’s body.
Character Developments
- Jiang Liu: His strength and law comprehension increase substantially as his body is transformed by Chaos Void Law Source Power. He becomes increasingly confident that, once he reaches the Lord God Realm, he can defeat any opponent within the Chaos Void—including the hidden enemy plotting against him.
- Ji Tuo: He reacts with sternness, coldness, and jealousy upon realizing Jiang Liu is nearing a breakthrough. He understands that Jiang Liu’s advancement directly threatens his position as Lord God.
- Yao Ben: Though initially confused, he quickly infers the situation and recognizes the danger Jiang Liu’s breakthrough poses. He also becomes more aware of the vulnerability of the existing Lord Gods.
- Zou Yan: Demonstrates superior understanding of the situation, identifying the aura as related to Chaos Law Source Power and directing the others to Ji Tuo for clarification.
- The other Lord Gods: Their view of challenges to the Lord God Realm changes. Because Ji Tuo has been deliberately targeted by an incomprehensibly powerful force, they begin questioning whether they themselves could survive a similar challenge.
Significant Themes
- Transformation and purification: Jiang Liu’s original law power is devoured and replaced, showing the painful but empowering process of forging a higher-level divine body.
- Origins of creation: The appearance of light, laws, and starstones reveals Chaos Void Law Source Power as the foundation from which the Void Realm and its laws emerge.
- Power and succession: Jiang Liu’s impending breakthrough threatens the established order and sets up a direct contest with Ji Tuo for the Lord God position.
- Uncertainty and hidden manipulation: The Lord Gods recognize that an unknown power is influencing events, forcing them to reconsider their confidence and assumptions about their own supremacy.
- Artifacts and inheritance: The three Transcendent Divine Artifacts connect Jiang Liu to the legacy of the Chaos Void Lord God and greatly increase his future potential.
Character Interactions
- Yao Ben asks Zou Yan for an explanation of the disturbance, but Zou Yan tells him that Ji Tuo is the person most likely to understand it.
- Zou Yan observes Ji Tuo’s reaction and identifies the aura as connected to the Chaos Void Sutra.
- Yao Ben avoids directly questioning Ji Tuo because of Ji Tuo’s dangerous anger and tense mood.
- The gathered Lord Gods collectively interpret the vision and confirm its connection to the origin of the Void Realm, while silently assessing the implications of Jiang Liu’s impending challenge to Ji Tuo.
