"He's gone out?" The God of Evil frowned. "What's he doing? This commotion... is he stirring up a cosmic storm?"
Through the central observation over extremely long distances, the four God King clearly saw a scene in the void.
Xuan Ming hovered in the center of the white light, like a giant black hole, frantically devouring everything around it.
The fragments of time, spatial turbulence, chaotic primordial energy, and even some passing meteorites and stars in the universe were all shattered and deconstructed under that terrifying suction force, turning into the most primal torrent of energy that converged towards him.
"He's insane... he's absolutely insane!"
The Godess of Kindness's eyes were filled with disbelief. "He's forcibly absorbing cosmic energy to solidify his Godhood! This unconverted, primal energy is full of chaos and destructiveness; even God King's body couldn't withstand such erosion!"
"If these energies get out of control within the body, the resulting explosion would be powerful enough to affect half of the Divine Realm!"
Even the God of Destruction felt a chill run down his spine.
As the master of Destruction power, he knew better than anyone how dangerous those primordial energies of the universe were.
These innate God King all underwent a long period of gestation and adaptation before they could barely grasp their respective laws.
But Xuan Ming... he's practically devouring everything!
"No, look!"
The God of Evil, who had been silently observing, suddenly pointed at the screen and said in a deep voice, "Those energies... are not out of control."
Everyone stared intently.
The violent energy stream, powerful enough to tear stars apart, seemed to encounter its natural enemy when it came into contact with the extreme white light surrounding Xuan Ming.
All the violence, chaos, radiation, impurities... were " Negation " in an instant.
That white light was like the most domineering filter, and also the most unreasonable crusher. It Negation all the "harmful" properties in the energy of the universe, forcibly reconstructing it into the purest and gentlest primordial power.
Under the illumination of that white light, the cosmic storm, which was originally capable of Destruction everything, became as docile as a sheep, obediently gathering at Xuan Ming's feet, gradually condensing into the prototype of a... seat.
"Is this... a power that transcends the rules?"
The God of Destruction murmured to himself, the purple light in his eyes dimming slightly, replaced by deep awe.
"Before this power, even the laws of the universe must bow down."
"He is not merely consolidating his Godhood," the Goddess of Life sighed softly, "He is... asserting his sovereignty over the universe."
"Sky..."
"It seems we have truly ushered in an unprecedented ruler."
Chapter 499 Ten Thousand Years Later
Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.
To the vast and boundless universe, ten thousand years is but a tiny breath.
But for some Life and some civilizations, ten thousand years is enough for the world to change drastically, for things to change beyond recognition.
In the void, the cocoon of light that had always emitted an extreme white light, seemingly unchanging since time immemorial, finally stirred at this moment.
"Click--"
A crisp cracking sound rang out clearly in the deathly silence of space.
Immediately afterwards, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoon of light, which was woven from the power of " Negation " and "reconstruction".
The cracks spread rapidly, and finally, with a deafening roar, it completely disintegrated, turning into countless points of light that vanished into the darkness.
A figure slowly emerged from it.
Xuan Ming opened his eyes.
Those eyes remained as deep as an abyss, but upon closer inspection, one could almost see countless stars rising and falling within them, and chains of rules being reassembled within them. An unprecedented sense of perfection and transcendence emanated naturally from him.
He slightly raised his hand, and a phantom-like, magnificent white throne flashed past behind him.
That is his Godhood — the Primordial Beginning.
"That's... the end?"
Xuan Ming felt a slight daze as he experienced the vast, ocean-like power within his body that resonated with the universe itself.
In his perception, he had simply fallen asleep and had a long dream.
In his dream, he was wrestling with the entire universe, breaking and crushing those violent laws bit by bit, and then piecing them back together according to his own will.
He woke up the moment the puzzle was completed.
"I don't know how much time has passed..."
Xuan Ming calculated with his fingers, and then his expression changed slightly.
" Douluo Star... ten thousand years have already passed?!"
"Twenty-seven years have passed in the Divine Realm?"
This time difference far exceeded his expectations. He had thought it would only be a few decades at most, but he never imagined that while he was asleep, the world would change drastically, and countless generations would have passed in the mortal realm.
"Oh no, I'm going to get a real scolding when I get back."
Xuan Ming's heart tightened. Making those women live like widows for over twenty years—this was a huge problem.
He dared not delay any longer. With a thought, his figure instantly transformed into an elusive white light, piercing through the spatial barrier and descending into the Divine Realm.
"Buzz--!!!"
The moment Xuan Ming's feet touched the land of the Divine Realm, the entire Divine Realm trembled violently, as if cheering for the return of a king.
Immediately afterwards, five streaks of light appeared in front of him as if they Teleportation.
Life, Destruction, Kindness, Evil, and...
That dazzling silver hue.
Gu Yuena.
At this moment, Gu Yuena had already completely merged with the Dragon God's Power. Dressed in a long silver dress, her noble demeanor was so awe-inspiring that people dared not look directly at her.
But the moment she saw Xuan Ming, her noble air crumbled instantly, replaced by excitement and lingering fear.
"You..."
Gu Yuena's voice trembled slightly as she stared intently at Xuan Ming, as if trying to confirm whether he was real or an illusion.
Xuan Ming felt a pang of guilt seeing her like that, and awkwardly scratched his head. "Um... Na'er, I'm back. Sorry, I slept for a bit too long..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuena rushed up and hugged him tightly.
"It's good that you're back... It's good that you succeeded..."
Gu Yuena buried her head in his chest, her voice choked with emotion, "I thought... I thought something would happen to you. I thought the rules of the universe would erase you..."
For the past twenty-seven years, she has been guarding the crystal wall system almost every day, watching the cocoon of light outside with trepidation.
That feeling of powerlessness—being so close yet afraid to touch or interfere—was driving her crazy.
The gods of Godess of Kindness and God of Evil, standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're finally awake."
The God of Evil smiled wryly, "To be honest, we were all mentally prepared that you would have to sleep in the Divine Realm for at least another few hundred years. We didn't expect you to succeed so quickly."
"Several hundred years?" Xuan Ming was taken aback. "Why would it take so long?"
He felt that his past twenty-odd years had been slow enough, so how could they still consider it "lightning fast"?
Gu Yuena released Xuan Ming, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and glared at him irritably.
Do you think achieving Supreme God Position is child's play?
Do you know how long it took the first Dragon God to achieve that Supreme God Position, surpassing even the God King?
"How long?" Xuan Ming asked curiously.
"On a cosmic scale... a full three million years!"
Gu Yuena held up three fingers, her tone serious, " Supreme God King, this is an extremely special level. It transcends the ordinary God King's control over a single law, becoming the maintainer and enforcer of the universe's rules. This requires the universe's own recognition, an extremely long and arduous process."
"And you..."
Gu Yuena looked at Xuan Ming, her expression becoming complicated. "Your Godhood is more special and more dangerous than that of the Dragon God."
" The Dragon God is conforming to the rules, maintaining balance. You, however, are Negation Rule."
"You are declaring to the universe: I do not accept your rules, I will establish my own rules."
"At first, I planned to wait until your Godhead was stable, then work with you to use the Dragon God's Power to help you conceal it and slowly solidify your Godhood. But who knew..."
Gu Yuena poked Xuan Ming's chest in exasperation, "You rascal, you didn't even say goodbye before running off to do things on your own!"
"Once the process of forming Godhood begins, it will attract the attention of the very origin of the universe. At that time, even the Supreme God would not dare to interfere casually, otherwise it would only bring about an even more terrifying backlash."
"I can only watch helplessly from inside."
Gu Yuena sighed, "To be honest, I really thought the rules of the universe would prevent your success. After all, your very existence is a huge bug, a dangerous anomaly, in this established cosmic order."
How could the world itself easily allow something that breaks the rules, or even potentially overthrows it, to exist?
"But..."
Gu Yuena raised her head, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light. "You succeeded."
"This means that you not only defeated the rules, but... you mastered them."
"You now possess the true power of creation."
"It's not about patching things up within a pre-existing framework, but rather... defining everything and creating the world according to your own will."
Xuan Ming listened to Gu Yuena's analysis and felt a moment of bewilderment.
So, it turns out that my seemingly relaxing nap actually concealed such great danger and significance?
No wonder that while he was asleep, he always felt an invisible will trying to suppress and assimilate him, but it was all pushed back by the " Negation " power within him.
"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."
Xuan Ming made a joke in an attempt to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
He held Gu Yuena's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and his heart warmed.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xuan Ming looked at the surrounding God King and said sincerely, "I'm sorry to have worried you all for the past twenty years."
"By the way, where are Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue?"
Xuan Ming looked around and found that no one was there. Logically speaking, they should have rushed over immediately after he made such a commotion.
"They..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena and the other God King suddenly adopted somewhat strange expressions.
"They are not in the Divine Realm," the Goddess of Life said softly.
"Not in the Divine Realm?" Xuan Ming was taken aback. "Where did they go?"
"The lower realm." The God of Destruction took over the words with a hint of emotion in his tone, "Since you issued the order of the God Responsibility System more than 20 years ago, everyone has been very active."
"Especially Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, those two... well, how should I put it, maybe it's to ease their longing for you, or maybe it's because they don't want to just sit in the Divine Realm and overthink things."
"More than a decade ago, they descended to the mortal realm in their true forms to punish evil and promote good."
Chapter 500 The Child of Fortune Against Heaven
Xuan Ming was somewhat bewildered, and subconsciously repeated, "Punishing evil and promoting good?"
These four words sound utterly incongruous when applied to Bibi Dong, who was once known for her ruthlessness and even as the "successor of the Rakshasa God."
And Qian Renxue, when did that young lady become so kind-hearted?
The Goddess of Life noticed his confusion and explained softly, "Yes. Our Divine Realm currently governs 108 main planes and over 360 subsidiary planes. These worlds, like the former Douluo Continent, are filled with war, oppression, and even the rampage of Evil forces."
"Although Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue adhere to your principle of non-interference and have not directly intervened in mortal regimes, they will not hesitate to take action when faced with extreme and heinous events such as massacres of entire cities or cult Sacrifice."
