After Xu Xiao left, the Green Lantern Universe has entered a state of rapid annihilation.
The clash of the two forces quickly plunged the entire universe into a state of void and chaos, leaving the high-dimensional beings watching the scene somewhat bewildered.
In a very short time, the world had already entered a state of complete chaos, with chaos resembling a chicken egg hanging horizontally in a corner of the DC World Tree.
An infinite power of rules surrounds the outside, neither daring to venture deeper nor willing to retreat, and can only maintain the encirclement.
Such a scene is rarely seen even in the vast Sea of Worlds, let alone in the DC multiverse.
Many high-ranking figures fell silent after discovering the changes in the Green Lantern Universe.
After a long pause, one of them finally spoke:
"It seems we've all been fooled. He deliberately used our power to seal off the entire universe, preventing his power from leaking out."
"Furthermore, because our rules are intertwined, we can't even ascertain the specific internal movements. Now the universe has returned to chaos, and unless someone intervenes, we're helpless."
Upon hearing the name of that person, everyone shook their heads with wry smiles; such a being wouldn't concern themselves with such matters.
No, to be precise, He only watches secretly, treating it all as a bit of fun in His infinite life.
After all, beings like them are virtually untouchable, even in the myriad realms of the universe; they simply need plenty of amusement to pass the time.
Unless it's a crisis like the DC Universe where the Great Chiliocosm is completely destroyed, that being won't care about any other situation.
"What exactly is this thief trying to do? Seeing no way out, is he trying to restore the world to chaos?"
"Or perhaps..."
Someone remembered something, and a serious expression appeared on their usually expressionless face.
They would naturally know about the latter, but they had already transcended the multiverse and had no chance to do it again.
Using chaos as a furnace and the True Spirit Seed, gather the rules of a complete universe to nurture your own Great Dao, transcend in one fell swoop, and directly prove yourself to be Immortal Creator God!
"Yes, that should be right, that's exactly what he wanted to do."
"Otherwise, since he dared to steal the Emotional Spectrum, he must have wanted to get rich quick. We've all been outmaneuvered by him."
You nodded, a bitter smile in your eyes.
This is something that all beings beyond the multiverse know about, but no one would do it.
It's worth mentioning here that every being that transcends the multiverse does so by one or more rules, such as destruction, death, time, space, and so on.
Once one transcends the constraints of fate by following a certain rule—that is, one is no longer within the Three Realms and escapes the Five Elements —one becomes a higher-dimensional being transcending the multiverse.
In the East, this is called Immortal Golden Immortal, while in the West it is called Immortal God or a higher-dimensional being.
Among them, the Immortal Creator God also belongs to this category, but is rather special.
For example, the original Marvel ruler of the First Firmament and the Creator God of many Medium Chiliocosm belong to this category; they are a very special type of being.
The Creator God, as the name suggests, is the God who created the world, and is inherently composed of a complete set of rules that encompass almost the entire universe.
These rules may vary in strength due to analogies of authority, but without exception, such an existence is extremely omnipotent and terrifying.
For example, the First Firmament, which he collaborated on with Xu Xiao, is actually far less powerful now than it was at the beginning, when the Marvel Universe was still a Medium Chiliocosm.
If the Marvel Universe hadn't evolved into an infinite multiverse, hadn't developed those infinite possibilities, and if the authority of the First Firmament hadn't been weakened, it would actually be stronger than it is now.
Ruling an entire universe and enjoying almost all its rules, supported by all the beings in that universe, He is powerful enough to challenge even the most powerful beings of the Daluo realm who radiate across countless universes.
Unfortunately, such existence is generally determined by fate; only those born to create something from nothing possess it, and it is almost impossible for later generations to achieve it.
For example, these higher-dimensional beings that have transcended the multiverse level are unable to ascend the Great Dao again on their own; their only hope is to create avatars.
Moreover, it's not an ordinary clone; it must be a clone split from the true spirit, almost identical to itself, to perform the operation.
Such a thing is not only time-consuming, but also requires the right timing, luck, and strength. Even if you are determined, you may not succeed even after several eras.
Moreover, if the clone breaks through to the status of Creator God after success, there is a high chance that it will turn around and usurp the ownership of the original true spirit.
Therefore, almost no one would choose to do this; the risk and reward are completely disproportionate.
Xu Xiao chose this path primarily because he had gleaned insights into the matter from the teachings given to him by the Goddess Nüwa, and because he possessed the perfectly suited clone, Xu Xuanpin, he was prepared to take the gamble.
Of course, the most important thing was the World-Crossing Gate that allowed him to freely travel between worlds, which enabled him to directly transform the Green Lantern's original world, which perfectly matched his own Great Dao, into the warm nest for his ascension.
If those in positions of power knew about the various costs omitted in this process, they would all be drooling with envy.
At this moment, the chaos on the World Tree is still evolving, and no one knows when the outsider thief will succeed or fail.
This kind of behavior is gambling; even if everything is in place, success is not guaranteed.
The universe has returned to chaos, Xu Xuanpin himself is no longer immune. His only advantage lies in the contingency plans he and Xu Xiao left behind, and whether these plans will allow him to successfully take that step.
"At this moment, all we can do is wait. Once that guy shows up, we'll inevitably have to fight him again."
"Yes, even if we succeed, even if we can't kill Him with so many of us, we must teach Him a lesson and let Him know the price of offending the gods!"
The universe returned to calm, leaving only the occasional struggle between the existence of DC and Marvel on the higher-dimensional battlefield.
