Exposing Phanes' Creation of a False Heaven, the Forty-Year War of Heaven's Collapse in Nebelheim?
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts and utterly shocked by this earth-shattering secret,
The sacred Phanes light and shadow on the Heavenly Curtain slowly faded away.
Instead, there were a few new lines of text, colder and more chilling.
[The "King" descended from the heavens to fight against the "seven terrifying moon nymphs."]
The King created His four shadows.
The shadow of war loomed over the nascent mountains and sea.
On the Light Screen, the previously breathtaking scene slowly faded away, leaving behind a profound Nihility.
The group was still reeling from the shock they had just experienced, their breathing still somewhat disordered.
Tang San frowned, the light of his Purple Demon Eye swirling deep within his eyes, as if analyzing all the information he had just seen, trying to construct a complete logic.
Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness was also rippling with waves. The power that transcended the dimension of Divine Sense allowed him to feel the heaviness and desolation that came from across the world more than others.
In that brief silence, the Light Screen lit up again.
There were no images, only lines of cold, ancient text, as if forged from stardust, slowly emerging.
The very first line was like an invisible hammer, striking everyone's hearts hard.
"Reshaping the world Order?"
The Xue Ye. As a Emperor, his understanding of the word "Order" far surpassed that of ordinary people. It represented laws, Rules, power systems, and even the growth and reproduction of all things.
"Reshaping" means completely shattering everything and then recreating it according to one's own will!
What an overbearing and terrifying act!
Duke Dai Hao's expression also became extremely solemn. He had spent his life on the battlefield and considered himself to be iron-fisted and tough, but compared to this "Phanes," his so-called iron-fisted methods were simply child's play.
This is no longer conquest, it is creation!
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
He thought of himself, of the Sea God, of the Asura God, and even of the God Realm Committee. They maintained Order in the Divine Realm and guided the development of subordinate planes, but that was "management" within the existing Rules.
And this Phanes, his actions are "definition"!
He's not following the Rules, he's creating Rules!
Before everyone could process this astonishing first sentence, more text followed, bringing even more mind-blowing information.
He separated Elemental Energy into the Radiant Realm Power and the Abyss Power, creating a "False Sky" that severed the connection between planets and the universe...
"What?!"
Rong Nianbing was the first to lose his composure. As the God of Emotion and a master of magic, he possessed the most fundamental understanding of the elements.
"Separating the elements? Light and darkness? This... this is shaking the very foundations of the world!"
He could imagine such power, but not such consequences. The forced division of a world's energy system in two would inevitably lead to endless conflicts and imbalances.
What truly sent chills down everyone's spine was the second half of the sentence.
"False Sky..."
Chang Gongwei murmured to himself. This former God King of Light looked up as if trying to see the true sky through this strange space.
"Severing the connection between the planet and the universe...it's a prison! He's turned the entire world into a giant prison!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone felt a chill that seemed to emanate from the depths of their souls.
The worlds they inhabit, whether it be Douluo Continent, the Heart of the Qin Emperor, or the Tower of Death Rays, are all intricately connected to the vast universe. Deity ascend, stars revolve—it is an invisible yet truly existing "Dao."
Now, they are being told that an entity can sever this connection single-handedly and envelop the entire planet in a "false" sky.
They live under a facade without realizing it.
How tragic, how terrifying!
Huo Yuhao felt his very soul tremble. His Spiritual Eye could see through illusions, but if even "heaven" itself was an illusion, then what could he possibly see?
This has transcended the realm of Divine Power and is almost equivalent to the "Tao" itself.
The text on the Light Screen continued.
[... defining space and time, endowing all things with the cycle of life and death, and projecting the Four Shadows of Heavenly Principles (time, space, life, and death governing), thus becoming the all-encompassing Heavenly Principles.]
Dead silence.
A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.
If the previous information was shocking, then this sentence brings pure, incomprehensible fear.
"Define... spacetime?"
For the first time Tian Hen, the master of space, showed a look of bewilderment. He could tear apart space, traverse space, and even distort time to some extent, but all of that was "utilizing" spacetime.
"Defining" space and time means that he says a second is a certain length of time, and a second is a certain length of time; he says a mile is a certain distance, and a mile is a certain distance!
"To grant... a cycle of life and death?"
God of Death A'Dai, or rather, the former King of Underworld Mandun, froze. He held the reins of death and guided the souls of the dead; that was the duty of the Divine Realm, the Laws of the universe.
But this "Heavenly Principles" is a right that he "granted" to all things!
In his hands, life and death were nothing more than a program that could be programmed at will!
"The Four Shadows of Heavenly Principles..."
Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, seeing the turmoil in each other's eyes.
Time, space, life, death.
Are these four rulers merely projections of "Heavenly Principles"?
It's like... like a Deity descending to earth as Human Realm?
No, that's not right!
Tang San immediately dismissed the idea. Judging from their titles, these four rulers wielded the most fundamental Authority in the world, each comparable to First-level Deities, or even God King!
And they are merely shadows of that "Heavenly Principles"!
"Pulse."
Zhou Weiqing swallowed hard. He was fearless, but even he felt his mouth was dry at this moment.
"This guy... damn it... he became the god himself, and then created four gods to work for him?"
This crude yet incredibly accurate metaphor left everyone speechless.
That seems to be the truth.
He is heaven, he is reason.
He is everything in this world.
Just as everyone was suffocating under the pressure of this absolute and suffocating dominance, the style of the text on the Light Screen suddenly changed, becoming filled with an aura of iron and blood.
[The Nibelungen led their Dragon Clan in rebellion, sparking the "Battle of Heavenly Collapse," which lasted for forty years...]
"Dragon Clan!"
A deep roar, not from a human, resounded directly from the depths of everyone's souls.
That's the Dragon God!
Golden Lie Yan instantly ignited in his enormous dragon eyes.
At the same time, Tang Wulin's body suddenly trembled, and the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him seemed to be boiling oil that had been ignited, surging wildly! A sense of tragic grandeur and indomitable spirit from the deepest part of his bloodline rushed straight to the top of his head.
