"Sin... Heavenly Punishment..." he muttered, his body trembling uncontrollably. It was not out of fear, but a sense of powerlessness and sorrow that welled up from the depths of his soul when a mortal faced the wrath of the gods.

In this life, he had exhausted his heart and soul for the Empire, and he believed he had a clear conscience. But before this so-called "Heavenly Law," what did the merits and demerits of a mortal Emperor even amount to?

Beside him, Ning Tian, a descendant of Ning Fengzhi and a current prodigy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wore an equally solemn expression. Subconsciously, he gripped his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, attempting to draw a sliver of strength from it.

"Your Majesty, do not worry." Ning Tian's voice was clear and firm. "If the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it up. Our Douluo Continent has never lacked those who stand tall and unyielding. Whether it was the ancestor Tang San ten thousand years ago, or the ancestor Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago, they never let this sky truly collapse."

Emperor Xueye glanced at him and nodded slowly. Indeed, this world would always have its heroes.

Greater Khingan Mountains, core circle of the Lake of Life.

"ROAR--!"

The earth-shaking roar sent towering waves surging across the entire Lake of Life.

Niu Tian and Titan, the two Divine Beasts, stood upright with their massive bodies. Their eyes turned blood-red at the sight of the crimson characters for "Heavenly Punishment."

"Sin?!" The Titan Giant Ape pounded his chest, producing a muffled sound like a beating drum. "Who dares to judge our Dragon Clan! If it weren't for Lord Dragon God protecting all races back then, this world would have been destroyed long ago! And now, they turn around to judge us?"

"That so-called 'Heavenly Law'—how is it any different from those despicable gods of the past!" Niu Tian, the Sky Azure Bull Python, spoke with a voice filled with endless grief, indignation, and killing intent.

They had only just rekindled hope because "we have our own ideas," as if they had seen the dawn of the Dragon Clan's revival. But these two words, "Heavenly Punishment," were like a sharp blade, piercing precisely into their deepest wound.

The tragedy of the Dragon Clan was nothing but an unjust trial!

God Realm Committee.

The deathly silence was broken once again by Tang San.

"It showed us its plan, its weapon." His voice was not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly. "This is not a bad thing."

Everyone looked at him.

"The unknown is what is truly terrifying." Tang San's gaze swept from Ji Dong, Lie Yan, and Chang Gong Wei, to Ye Yinzhu, and finally to every God King present. "Now, we know the enemy's name, and we know its methods. If it wants to bring down 'Heavenly Punishment,' then we will take it."

He slowly raised his hand, and the phantom of the Sea God Trident appeared in his palm, emitting a warm and resolute light.

"It has its 'Heavenly Punishment'."

"And we, have our own ideas."

Zhou Weiqing grinned. This time, his smile was not wicked, but pure—the wildness and fighting spirit belonging to a Heavenly Bead Master.

"Well said! To hell with whatever bird-brained plan it has, let's just do it!"

Before the All Gods could echo their agreement, the massive Light Screen hovering above everyone's heads changed once again.

The blood-red characters for "Heavenly Punishment" receded like a tide, replaced by several brand-new words that radiated a bone-chilling cold.

[Nail of HeavenCold Heaven Nail!]

These few words alone seemed to carry an absolute will that transcended everything. A cold, dead, and emotionless pressure descended upon every world through the Light Screen.

This pressure was completely different from the previous "Heavenly Principles." If the pressure of the "Heavenly Principles" was high and mighty, filled with the wrath of judgment, then this "Nail of Heaven" was a pure, indifferent gaze that viewed everything as mere dust.

Within the God Realm Committee, the fighting spirit that had just ignited was instantly doused by this chill.

The text on the Light Screen began to appear line by line.

[Descender.]

[In the worldview of Teyvat, this is a supreme status.]

[Its definition: An existence capable of rivaling an entire world with their own strength.]

Rivaling an entire world!

These simple six words made the hearts of every God King present, including Tang San, skip a beat.

They were God Kings, the pinnacles of their respective worlds, yet none of them dared to claim they could stand against a complete world with their own strength! The laws of a world, the Origin Power of a world—that was the power of a Creation God!

"Rivaling a world..." God King Chang Gongwei's brows locked tightly. He had fought to protect his own world and knew deeply just how vast and boundless the power of a world was. How could a single life form contend with such greatness?

The Light Screen did not give them much time to think, continuing to scroll downward.

[They are 'foreign objects' from outside the world. Their life essence and power level transcend the fundamental laws of the Teyvat world.]

[They cannot be bound by the rules of the world; instead, they can use their own will to rewrite, overwrite, and even create the laws of the world.]

BOOM!

If they were shocked before, now, it was a subversion of everything they knew!

"Create... laws?" The God of Emotion, Rong Nianbing, muttered in a hushed voice. He controlled the laws of emotion, yet he had never imagined that one day he would hear the words "create laws." That was the authority belonging to the origin of the universe, the supreme rules that even God Kings like them could only follow and borrow!

"Monsters! These are pure, goddamn monsters!" Zhou Weiqing could no longer laugh; the wildness on his face had turned into unprecedented solemnity. He wasn't afraid of a fight, but how could you fight someone who could set their own rules? If the opponent said one plus one equals three, then in this world, one plus one would truly equal three! How were they supposed to play this!

Tang San's expression had also changed completely. His greatest reliance had always been his understanding and application of rules. But now, the Light Screen was telling him that there existed beings who could ignore rules, or even... be the rules themselves!

This was a true, dimensional strike!

Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Niu Tian and Titan froze in place, their crimson eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Rewriting laws? Creating laws?

This completely exceeded the limits of their understanding as Divine Beasts. In their inherited memories, only the Creation God possessed such magnificent power.

"This... how is this possible..." The Titan Giant Ape's drum-like heartbeat became erratic.

Behind them, Di Tian, Zi Ji, and the other Fierce Beasts were struck as if by lightning, their very ability to think seemingly stalled. They had spent their entire lives pursuing the breakthrough of the world's laws to achieve godhood. Yet now, there existed a being who was born above the laws themselves.

This injustice made them feel a shiver and despair that originated from the depths of their souls.

The exposure of the Light Screen continued.

A name appeared in everyone's field of vision.

[The First Throne, Phanes, was the first Descender, and also the most powerful one. His power far surpassed even a single world.]

[With his own strength, he easily suppressed and defeated the native Planetary Will and the entire Dragon Race under its command, transforming the world into his 'Kingdom of God'.]
