The First Throne Phanes is the World Conqueror, Tang San Discovers Inter-World Invasion Isn't an Isolated Case!

His laughter grew louder, more manic, filled with self-mocking and despair.

"So after all this... it's like this..."

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes sweeping across the stunned, numb faces around him.

"What's the point of fighting anymore? What's the point of competing? Lord of the God Realm? Strongest God King?"

Zhou Weiqing stood up, spreading his arms towards the light screen in the sky, and with all his might, let out a hysterical roar.

"Stop fighting!!"

"Get in line! All of you, get in line! Go be pets for that Nibelungen!"

"Maybe if you're lucky, you can be a guard dog! It's better than deceiving yourselves here!"

Zhou Weiqing's roar still echoed above the God Realm Committee, each word like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of all the God Kings.

Surrender?

Be pets?

Guard dogs?

These words, spoken by a God King, were filled with extreme absurdity and... reality.

No one retorted.

Because what Zhou Weiqing had shouted was the thought that had just arisen in all of them, yet they dared not admit.

In the face of absolute, incomprehensible power, dignity and glory were merely a pretense of fortitude.

Rong Nianbing slumped back onto his divine throne. This God of Emotion now had only numbness on his face. He looked at his hands, hands that could create the most exquisite delicacies in the world, hands that could control the magic of ice and fire, but now, he just wanted to use them to cover his eyes.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan embraced. They had once defied the entire God Realm for love, but now they realized that what they had defied might have just been a slightly larger cage.

Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai... these beings from different worlds who had eventually ascended to the position of God King, were now all lost in a long silence. They had once been the protagonists of their own worlds, darlings of fate, but the light screen in the sky had mercilessly told them that their stories might not have been worth mentioning at all.

Amidst this dead silence, the golden light screen lit up once more.

It never cared about the mood of the onlookers.

It simply and coldly stated one fact after another, each capable of subverting everything.

[The era of peace will eventually end.]

A line of concise text appeared, like an ancient prophecy.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Peaceful era? Whose peace?

[An uninvited guest, arriving from the depths of the universe, tore through the skies of Teyvat.]

Teyvat?

Another unfamiliar name.

Like the Nibelungen before, these three words carried a chilling coldness from an unknown universe.

Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy, within the Sea God Pavilion.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye was pushed to its limit, but all he could see were the clear golden characters, nothing else. There were no energy fluctuations, no traces of laws, as if these words were born out of thin air, truths imprinted there since the beginning of the universe.

"An... another one?" He Caitou muttered to himself, feeling his brain was insufficient.

An existence that could defeat the world had already reduced them to Void, and now, another existence appeared on the light screen... one that tore through the world's sky?

Tang San's brows were tightly furrowed.

Unlike the other God Kings, he was not completely consumed by Zhou Weiqing's collapse. As a former controller, he forced himself to maintain a last shred of calm, attempting to extract useful information from these cold words.

"Uninvited guest... depths of the universe..."

These two phrases sent a bone-chilling coldness through him.

This indicated that crossing worlds for invasion might not be an isolated incident in the vast universe!

In the instant he was contemplating, the words on the light screen changed again.

[First Throne, the supreme Heavenly Principle--Phanes.]

"Heavenly Principle?"

This word made all the God Kings feel a strong sense of discomfort.

They were the heavens of the God Realm, the creators and maintainers of laws. Yet now, there was an existence whose title was "Heavenly Principle"!

How arrogant, and yet... how natural?

As if its existence was the axiom of the universe, the standard for all things.

Immediately after, the last line, and the most fatal line of text, appeared.

[He is the first Descender from beyond the heavens, the first "Conqueror" of the Teyvat world.]

Conqueror!

If "defeating a world" was a somewhat blurry concept before, the words "Conqueror" were filled with naked blood and violence!

It clearly told everyone what the being called Phanes had done to the world called Teyvat!

He was not a passerby, nor a destroyer.

He was the Conqueror! He had crushed a world under his feet and turned it into his possession!

"Boom!"

An invisible storm exploded in the minds of all the powerhouses.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, at the core of the Lake of Life.

The slumbering Dragon God's massive golden eyes snapped open. For the first time, his pupils, capable of eclipsing the sun and moon, showed an emotion called "hesitation."

The Dragon race had once been the conquerors of Douluo Star, its absolute rulers.

But in the face of the concept of "conquering worlds," their rule back then was like a childish game.

Beside him, the Dragon Prince, his proud head, now hung down somewhat powerlessly.

God Realm.

Tang Wulin's body trembled slightly. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him roared in anger, a fury born from the provocation of a king's dignity.

But at the same time, a chill from the depths of his bloodline continuously extinguished this rage.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Yuena beside him.

Then, he saw a scene he would never forget.

Gu Yuena's face was deathly pale.

Her silver hair fluttered without wind, her body trembled uncontrollably, and on her flawless face, a trace of pain and... fear appeared.

Yes, fear.

A primal fear originating from the very level of her life, from the source of her bloodline.

"Na'er?" Tang Wulin quickly supported her.

Gu Yuena did not respond. Her purple eyes lost focus, as if piercing through time and space, seeing some Unspeakable existence.

Her Silver Dragon King Bloodline, the incomparably noble bloodline inherited from the Dragon God, was now wailing.

No, not wailing.

It was... submitting!

It was like an antelope hearing the roar of a lion and tiger, like a Mortal witnessing a god.

It was an absolute suppression imprinted in their genes, impossible to resist, impossible to comprehend!

"Heavenly Law..."

Gu Yuena's lips moved, uttering a dry word.

Those two words alone seemed to drain all the strength from her body.

Tang Wulin's heart was greatly shaken.

He could clearly feel a suffocating pressure emanating from Gu Yuena, a pressure that didn't belong to her but to the being named "Phanes" on the Light Screen. Merely the name had triggered a mutation in Gu Yuena's bloodline!

What kind of existence... was this?
