The Sun's Three Great Authorities and the "Lucky One"

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he ignored Wei Xiaofeng, who was still standing there, and returned to his dormitory alone.

He had only been lying on his bed for a few minutes when the door opened and Wei Xiaofeng walked in as well.

He cast a glance at Chen Ye before quietly climbing onto his bed.

Chen Ye lay on the bottom bunk, eyes closed the entire time, his spirit immersed within his Divine Kingdom.

Yet, while Chen Ye's spirit stood there, his soul had already drifted away.

On the ground before him lay an ordinary-looking book.

The book was deep brown in color, covered in a string of characters Chen Ye did not recognize.

He did not need to, however, for this book contained something he was all too familiar with.

It held four powerful forces, each possessing a terrifying level of strength on par with his own core authority.

The only difference was that the power within his own body was gradually awakening, while the four forces inside the book were in their complete, fully realized states.

Looking at this book, Chen Ye didn't even need to think to know exactly what it was.

"No way, what the hell is this Travels of Groselle? I have the Dragon of Imagination spirit, not the God Almighty spirit."

"Who could possibly handle this!" Chen Ye muttered, a rare trace of helplessness on his face.

Ever since he awakened the Dragon of Imagination spirit, he had suspected that as his strength grew, he would likely be subjected to corruption.

But good grief, he hadn't expected the corruption to arrive in the form of the Travels of Groselle.

What was even more disgusting was that it wouldn't have been so bad if it were empty, but it actually contained four distinct origins.

This meant that, combined with his own Author origin, there were a total of five origins present.

These five origins corresponded to the Chaos Sea, or in other words, God Almighty.

With these five origins appearing here, there was no need to ask; the corruption belonging to God Almighty was undoubtedly among them.

Although it currently had no effect on him, and he couldn't even sense the presence of any corruption, Chen Ye understood that once his strength reached the Titled Douluo level or he ascended to godhood, he would likely face the direct corruption of God Almighty.

When that time came, with the five great origins fused together, he would be completely unable to resist.

Not to mention resisting—once he was corrupted and became a vessel for God Almighty, this world would be doomed along with him.

At that point, it wouldn't matter if it were the God Realm or the God Star; nothing would be of any use.

To encounter a fully awakened God Almighty would result in only one outcome: death.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's expression turned grim, yet he felt no sense of despair.

After all, ever since he awakened the Dragon of Imagination spirit, he had considered ways to resist the corruption.

Beyond establishing an organization like the Holy See or Spirit Hall to spread his faith, he could attempt a daring maneuver that no one had ever tried before.

He could find four people to become his avatars and have each of them carry one of the powers.

In summary, those four people would be him, yet they would also be independent individuals with no connection to him.

He would have each of them occupy one pathway, and then, at the most critical stage, he would merge with them.

Or perhaps, once they attained godhood, he would strip away their personalities entirely, along with the consciousness of God Almighty.

"If the consciousness of God Almighty awakens within me alone, I definitely won't be able to defeat it. But what if it awakens separately within five different people?"

"This isn't the Lord of the Mysteries world; the consciousness of God Almighty is finite, not infinite."

"When the time comes, I will strip away the wills of all four people. I refuse to believe I can't defeat one-fifth of God Almighty."

Chen Ye's eyes flickered as he looked at the Travels of Groselle before him.

He walked forward calmly and picked up the brown, leather-bound book.

Gazing at the book, Chen Ye felt as if he were staring into an ocean as vast as an infinite abyss.

With his current strength, he could not open it, but stripping away the corresponding authorities from within was not difficult.

With his current three-ring strength, the authorities he could strip away were limited to the first three core powers.

Once stripped, his next step would be to find someone and have them fuse with this power.

This person would possess a complete personality and complete emotions; they would be a living, breathing human being.

However, the deepest layer of their consciousness would be replaced by Chen Ye.

Of course, they would still remain themselves; otherwise, if they were merely puppets under his control, God Almighty would most likely still awaken within Chen Ye.

This was a rather bold maneuver, one that could only be realized in this completely different universe.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye looked at the Travels of Groselle in his hands, his eyes turning a pale gold.

Gray-white scales began to manifest on his face and arms.

As he placed his palm upon the Travels of Groselle, the four forces began to churn wildly, even pulling at the Dragon of Imagination spirit behind him.

Chen Ye's gaze began to grow ethereal, yet his face remained devoid of any unnecessary expression.

As his palm reached in, four entirely distinct powers began to emerge within his mind.

These were four complete powers, not merely at the level of Sequence 1, but all of them were the primordial powers of Sequence 0.

Once Chen Ye attained godhood and his own power reached its absolute peak, these four powers and their four essences would be unsealed simultaneously, merging into a five-in-one entity that would allow God Almighty to fully resurrect.

After seeing the Travels of Groselle, Chen Ye had already understood this point; or rather, God Almighty had never bothered to hide it at all.

"That piece of shit God Almighty wants to use my body to resurrect? Fine, let's see which one of us is better at this game," Chen Ye muttered, his eyes flickering.

The scales covering his entire palm began to melt as his hand gripped the sun.

A terrifying, scorching sensation like a blazing sun washed over him, but Chen Ye ignored the other three powers and lunged toward the sun.

Specks of starlight were pulled from the sun as Chen Ye raised his arm.

He abruptly shattered his own charred arm, immediately manifesting a brand-new, complete one in its place.

Watching his arm materialize into reality, Chen Ye lowered his head to gaze at the specks of light in his hand.

This was the power belonging to the sun, or more accurately, three of the major authorities mastered by the Sequence 0 Sun.

When Chen Ye injected this power into someone else, that person would instantly possess a Sun Martial Soul.

Furthermore, they would establish an essential connection with the Sun's origin within the Travels of Groselle held in Chen Ye's hand.

"Good stuff. This is the most terrifying curse, but also the greatest opportunity."

Chen Ye shook his head as he spoke, various perspectives appearing before his eyes—these were the five people he controlled.

Observing these perspectives, Chen Ye easily locked onto one individual.

It was a young man lying on an upper bunk, who tilted his head slightly to look at Xie Xie on the opposite bed, then glanced down at Tang Wulin on the lower bunk.

The youth's fear was transmitted effortlessly into Chen Ye's mind.

Feeling the other's emotions, a faint smile appeared on Chen Ye's face.

As he raised his palm, the specks of red power in his hand flowed directly into the youth's subconscious island.
