The Entire Universe Was Shocked and Panicked

The moment Yu Chen rose to his feet, a sudden change occurred.

The once-bright sky darkened without warning. In that instant, it was as though an invisible hand had dragged the entire firmament into the night.

Stars shifted, and daylight transformed into night in an instant!

The entire Douluo Continent fell into brief silence. Countless soul masters traveling on the road, commoners busy at work, and even children at play instinctively looked up at the sky, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

"Wh... what is going on? How did it suddenly become dark in broad daylight?"

The major powers instantly erupted into chaos.

Inside the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, Xu Jiawei, who had been discussing affairs, abruptly rose to his feet and stared out the window in alarm. Experts from the Heaven Dou Empire and Dou Ling Empire also soared into the air one after another, rushing toward the skies in an attempt to investigate the source of this bizarre celestial phenomenon.

"This aura... what exactly is causing this?"

Like a boulder thrown into a tranquil lake, this strange sight plunged the powerhouses of the entire continent into shock and panic.

Shrek Academy.

Mu En, who had been teaching, now stood in the middle of the academy square. His aged, clouded eyes were fixed tightly upon the suddenly blackened heavens.

The Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul should have been able to sense light, yet it was trembling for no apparent reason. This veteran Ultimate Douluo remained silent for a long time before finally releasing a heavy sigh, his expression grim to the extreme.

Sun Moon Empire, Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

The Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao, stood with his hands behind his back in a black robe. As he sensed that oppressive aura, which seemed capable of blotting out the sun and sky, even his usually placid face was filled with stern killing intent.

"What a terrifying fluctuation..."

He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing the black void as he muttered, "To stir up such a vast celestial phenomenon... when did someone like this appear in the world?"

At the same time, Yu Chen, within the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, was equally dumbfounded.

He blinked and looked up at the sky overhead, which seemed as though ink had been splashed across it. Unable to stop himself, he grumbled inwardly, It's dark already? Did I fucking cause this? Since when did I have this much presence?

At that moment, as he looked at his five blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul rings, beyond his shock was an absurd feeling of So I'm actually this damn awesome.

Yet the disturbance was not limited to the trembling Douluo Continent. Even the God Realm, high above the heavens, was affected.

Within the God Realm Nexus, the core formation that had once operated in perfect order now seemed to have come down with a fever. Its consciousness had fallen into unprecedented chaos, and the very foundation of the God Realm was trembling faintly.

Inside the God Realm Committee hall, Tang San, the Sea God, was drenched in sweat as he desperately held down the wildly agitated nexus core, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"What the hell is happening?!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and frantically poured divine power into it, trying to stabilize the situation. He had long since been seething with rage inwardly. Which bastard is causing trouble in the lower realm? He actually dares shake the foundation of the God Realm? He has a death wish!

Before his words had faded, the doors were violently thrown open. The God of Destruction rushed in with a murderous expression. Seeing the nexus in complete disarray, he immediately roared at Tang San.

"Sea God! What is going on? Aren't you the one in charge of the God Realm Nexus? How could you let it fall into such chaos? If you can't handle it, just say so!"

Tang San was nearly choked speechless by the rebuke. He had to divide his attention to suppress the nexus, and could only roar back helplessly, "Destruction! Do you think I don't want to figure it out? I don't know either! This damned thing suddenly started going insane!"

"With something this serious happening, I cannot simply stand by."

Just as the two were at their wits' end, space twisted in the air. The other God Kings sensed the disturbance in the God Realm and teleported over almost simultaneously.

The Goddess of Life, the Evil God King, and the Kind God King appeared together. As they looked upon the chaotic God Realm Nexus before them, all their expressions turned incomparably grave.

At that moment, the five God Kings had gathered, yet all of them were helpless before this sudden change and could only stare at one another.

However, the source of all this turmoil did not stop at the God Realm.

In the distant depths of the universe, beyond the reach of even the God Kings' sight, an even grander and more astonishing change was quietly taking place.

The entire universe seemed to have been injected with excessive fuel and was rapidly expanding, its volume growing outward at a geometric rate. At the same time, an indescribably profound fluctuation spread through it. The universe's very rank was rising to the extreme, as though it were leaping toward a higher-dimensional form of life.

Originally, the laws of this universe possessed no concrete consciousness. They were like cold, precise programs, operating only by instinct, repeating day after day along fixed directions and rigid patterns, dull and monotonous.

But at that moment, as the immensely elevated fluctuation touched the origin, spirituality seemed to emerge from within those once-dead laws.

Then, a vast divine consciousness, transcending time and space, slowly awakened from the void.

It seemed to be the sole observer of this universe—and its creator as well.

The Creator God's divine consciousness swept lightly across the starry sky undergoing drastic changes. His tone was calm, carrying the ease of one who controlled everything. There was not the slightest surprise in his voice; instead, it held a trace of lazy satisfaction.

"Oh? The universe has ascended?"

As though he had seen his own child finally score full marks, he casually said, "Good, good. It is time to take another step forward."

Yet before Yu Chen's inward exclamation of awesome had even settled, an even more terrifying and irresistible force suddenly descended.

"Ugh—!"

He felt his mind shake violently, and his consciousness instantly lost contact with his body. Immediately afterward, dazzling golden light erupted from within him, swallowing his human form in an instant.

"Roar—!!!"

A clear, ancient dragon roar resounded between heaven and earth, shaking the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into surging waves.

Yu Chen instantly shifted into his true form!

It was a Golden Dragon of unimaginably immense size. Its golden scales shone brightly in the darkness, every single one seeming to bear the weight of a mountain. At that moment, his aura could no longer be described by the five rings he had possessed upon breaking through. That immense vitality and majesty clearly proclaimed that this body had reached a terrifying cultivation of—five hundred thousand years!

But this was not the end.

The instant Yu Chen transformed into a giant dragon, his bloodline began to boil violently, as though undergoing a rebirth-like metamorphosis.

This was the universe's blessing!

In the distant center of the universe lay a mysterious place that even the God Kings could not reach.

The laws of the universe there, which had originally possessed no consciousness and merely operated on instinct, now seemed to have heard some sort of command. They slowly separated a wisp of exceedingly faint law origin that nevertheless represented supreme authority.

Carrying endless starlight from the depths of the universe, that wisp of origin pierced through layer after layer of planar barriers, ignored the God Realm's obstruction, and descended directly upon the Douluo Continent. With absolute precision, it merged into Yu Chen's enormous dragon body.

"Boom—"

Yu Chen's body shuddered violently. That law power instantly fused perfectly with his Golden Dragon King bloodline. He was not merely breaking through—he was ascending in rank, becoming the sole favored child of this world.

The original planar consciousness of Douluo Star also sensed this presence and cried out in shock, "This is the universe's blessing! A Child of the Universe has been born!"

He laughed, as though he had seen hope. "Tang San, Tang San, this time, you have finally lost!"

As the original planar consciousness, he understood very well that the Child of the Universe was protected by the universe. If anyone wanted to kill him, they would first have to endure the wrath of the entire universe.
