At this point, all three systems had touched the threshold of Eternity.

It wasn't a breakthrough, but it was enough to cause an explosive increase in his combat power.

Lancelot opened his eyes.

In his left eye, the galactic vortex had vanished, replaced by a slowly rotating ring of countless points of light. It was not a galaxy, but a microcosm of the universe. In his right eye, the runes of law had also disappeared, transforming into a soft white light containing the source of all laws.

His aura changed at that moment.

It's no longer the subtle sense of alienation that comes with "borrowing" rules, but rather the absolute confidence of "I am the rule."

The God of War of the Astral Realm's pupils contracted sharply.

"You..."

"Come on," Lancelot's voice was calm as still water, yet carried an undeniable authority, "A new round."

Lancelot moved as soon as he finished speaking.

His figure vanished from the spot, and the next instant, he appeared directly in front of the God of War of the Astral Realm.

There was no spatial fluctuation, no time jump, no causal shift—he simply "appeared," as if he had always been there.

The Spear of Destruction thrust out.

This shot was completely different from the previous ones.

Where the spear tip passes, it is not "annihilation," but "return to zero." Space, time, energy, matter, laws, concepts—all existence touched by the spear tip returns to its "pre-birth" state, an absolute and irreversible nothingness.

The God of War of the Astral Realm raised his arms to block.

His armor was as flimsy as paper before that shot.

The tip of the Spear of Destruction pierced his forearm, his upper arm, and finally his right shoulder.

The silvery-white divine blood gushed out, each drop containing enough energy to light up a Void star.

The God of War of the Astral Realm let out a deafening roar, clenched his left fist, and slammed it toward Lancelot's head.

Lancelot did not dodge.

He raised his left hand, spread his fingers, and steadily caught the fist.

It wasn't a direct hit.

In his palm, a miniature cosmic phantom spun—a projection of the Endless Continent. The power of the God of War of the Astral Realm's fist was channeled into this miniature universe, Infinity diluted and diffused within the vast space of the Endless Continent, ultimately transforming into a gentle earthquake, which was regarded by the billions of living beings on the continent as a gift from the God King.

A single punch, powerful enough to Destruction a universe, was thus effortlessly neutralized.

The God of War of the Astral Realm stared in disbelief at his fist, then at the miniature universe still slowly rotating in Lancelot's palm.

"The Inner Universe..." he murmured, "You've already forged the Inner Universe into a practical weapon?"

"It's not a weapon," Lancelot corrected, "It's part of my body."

He loosened his fist, Spear of Destruction was pulled from the shoulder of the God of War of the Astral Realm, bringing with it a spray of silvery-white divine blood.

The God of War of the Astral Realm took several steps back, looking down at the wound on his shoulder. The wound had not healed—not that it couldn't heal, but rather that it was "defined" as unhealable. Lancelot's attack carried the dual laws of "Termination" and "creation," not only destroying the God of War of the Astral Realm of War's body but also redefining the concept of "healing."

In his definition, this wound should not heal.

The God of War of the Astral Realm raised his head, his silvery-white eyes burning with the flames of battle intent.

"Hall of Heroes! The Power of Civilization!"

The God of War of the Astral Realm roared, and the Hall of Heroes above his head erupted with dazzling golden light. Countless phantoms of Spirit Ruins transformed into pillars of light, directly pouring into the top of his head. Behind him, the Power of Civilization of the Northern Spirit Empire's civilization also reached its peak, and the faith of countless citizens transformed into brilliant ribbons of light, wrapping around his entire body, and his silver-white armor was plated with a dazzling gold.

His aura surged once again.

But Lancelot is faster.

His figure reappeared before the God of War of the Astral Realm, this time employing all three systems simultaneously.

The power of Endless Divine Body roared within his body, transforming into divine runes that covered his entire body. Each rune was a divine authority, and each divine authority was a sharp blade.

Endless Continent, a projection of the real universe, appeared behind him. It was a complete world with continents, oceans, skies, and living beings. The very existence of this world was the strongest blessing for him.

The Law of Endless, the unification of the three major systems, give birth to a completely new power—not borrowing, not becoming, but "defining".

He raised his right hand, his index finger pointing to the space between the brows of the God of War of the Astral Realm.

"Divine Authority Edict: The Power of Civilization is forbidden here."

The voice wasn't loud, but every word carried the weight of divine law, directly impacting reality.

Behind the God of War of the Astral Realm, the dazzling light of the Northern Spirit Empire's Power of Civilization instantly dimmed.

It wasn't suppressed, nor blocked, but rather "prohibited." Within the area designated by Lancelot, the concept of "Power of Civilization" was temporarily removed, and the faith of the Northern Spirit Empire could no longer enter this region, nor provide any further blessings to the God of War of the Astral Realm.

The God of War of the Astral Realm's expression changed drastically.

The Lord of Endless was actually able to go this far, directly "forbidding" the existence of laws.

"You... this is not the power of the Supreme God!"

Before this, although the Lord of Endless's combat power had reached the Eternity level, it was merely combat power, equivalent to using brute force to break through magic. But now, in terms of technique, or realm, he has actually touched the threshold of Eternity, and may even have already entered that realm.

Lancelot withdrew his fingers, gripped the Spear of Destruction Spear of Destruction out once more.

This shot was no longer a probe, but a kill shot.

At the tip of the spear, the power of the Third Realm united was fully concentrated.

The Endless Divine Body provide the power and blessing of billions of gods, the Endless Continent offer the overwhelming mass of the real universe, and the Law of Endless grant the authority to "define reality."

The three combined to form an "absolute spear" that could not be blocked by any law.

The God of War of the Astral Realm attempted to dodge.

However, his spatial jump was locked by Lancelot's laws and could not be initiated.

He attempted to use the power of Hall of Heroes to withstand the attack.

But the golden light of Hall of Heroes was extinguished the moment it touched the tip of the spear.

He attempted to withstand the attack using his armor and Divine Body.

But the spear tip pierced his chest without any resistance and emerged from his back.

The God of War of the Astral Realm looked down at the black spear shaft piercing his chest, his silver-white eyes trembling violently.

"This... is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible before absolute power," Lancelot said calmly, without a trace of smugness. "You have lost."

He suddenly drew his Spear of Destruction.

The God of War of the Astral Realm staggered backward in the Void, a huge, gaping wound left on his chest. Dark golden Destruction power spread from the edges of the wound, preventing it from healing. His armor was mostly shattered, the light of the Hall of Heroes dimmed considerably, and the Power of Civilization the Northern Spirit Empire's civilization behind him was completely severed.

He knelt in the Void, panting heavily. Silvery-white divine blood gushed from his wounds, each drop as heavy as a mountain, smashing out miniature Black Hole in the Void.

Lancelot did not pursue.

He sheathed the Spear of Destruction, and the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying returned to his side, hovering behind him.

He looked at the kneeling God of War of the Astral Realm, his eyes showing no contempt, only respect for his opponent.

"You are very strong," Lancelot said. "Without the unification of the Third Realm, I couldn't defeat you."

The God of War of the Astral Realm raised his head; the silver-white flames beneath his helmet had dimmed considerably, but still stubbornly burned.

"A win is a win, a loss is a loss." His voice was hoarse, yet still carried the arrogance of God of War. "I'm simply outmatched; I have nothing to say."

He slowly stood up, his back straight despite his serious injuries.

"But remember, Lancelot," said the God of War of the Astral Realm, "I was not defeated by you, but surpassed. If your Third Realm Unity had not broken through in battle, and without the aid of the Astral Spirit Kingdom's Star Crown, the outcome would have been uncertain."

Lancelot nodded. "I know."

"Next time," the God of War of the Astral Realm turned and walked towards the Hall of Heroes, the Power of Civilization the Northern Spirit Empire's civilization slowly receding behind him, "I will fight you again with even greater strength."

His figure gradually disappeared into the golden light of Hall of Heroes, leaving only one sentence echoing in the Void:

"By then, I hope you will have truly stepped into Eternity."

The golden light dissipated.

The Hall of Heroes and the fleet of the Northern Spirit Empire vanished together into the depths of the Astral Realm.

In the Void, only Lancelot remained.

He looked down at his hands.

In his palm, three faint lights swirled—one the silver-gray of flesh, one the emerald green of the world, and one the golden-white of the laws. The three lights intertwined and merged, eventually transforming into a soft white light that entered his body.

The integration of the three systems has been completed.

Next, we will truly step into Eternity.

Lancelot raised his head and looked into the vast, boundless Void deep within the Astral Realm, his gaze calm and resolute.

"Eternity, I have arrived."

His figure vanished into the Void, leaving only a devastated Void within a radius of hundreds of light-years, a testament to this epic battle.

In the eyes of observers in the distant universe affected by the aftermath of the battle, this war will become an Eternity Legend.

Lancelot, the Lord of Endless, severely injured God of War of the Astral Realm at the level of Eternal.

This battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of the multiverse, becoming a monument for countless successors to look up to.

He's gotten stronger.

Within the World Tree Universe, the Ancestral Tree of Destruction watched the scene before it with excitement, feeling deeply moved by Lancelot's power.

He turned his head and looked at the huge, emerald-green cocoon behind him, which was expanding and contracting as if it had a heartbeat.

A familiar aura emanated from within, like that of the Mother of All Things.

That is the Ancestral Tree of Life attempting to ascend to the level of Eternity.

From the start of the breakthrough until now, everything has progressed very smoothly.

However, there was a strange idea behind Ancestral Tree of Destruction.

That's my eldest sister. Even if she successfully advances to the Eternity Realm, can she really defeat the Lord of Endless?

This guy is getting more and more monstrous, and nobody knows when he'll reach the Eternity Realm.

As for the Lord of Endless, the difficulty of advancing to the Eternity level is something that no discerning expert in the Astral Realm would consider difficult Eternity Lancelot. The difference lies in when he chooses to advance.

And from which system should one begin their promotion?

Behind the Ancestral Tree of Destruction.

The phantom image of the World Tree also appeared.

Compared to his own offspring.

The World Tree understood even more the significance of Lancelot's breakthrough once again.

Keep in mind that this is only one of the three clones.

Meanwhile, the Devouring Demon Spider from the Abyss are also frantically seizing resources and growing stronger amidst the Destruction frenzy unleashed by the Nine Hells.

Although the World Tree was very dissatisfied with the Slaughter caused by the Destruction Demon Spider Gustavo in the process, it also understood that every creature has its own style of doing things and its own allegiance.

Although the World Alliance loves peace, it also adheres to the principle of self-preservation and will choose to be patient until its ability and power are sufficient. Moreover, the Devouring Demon Spider is its ally.

In addition, there is Logo, who single-handedly confronts three Eternity beings and their vast armies in another prison.

Each of these three is extremely terrifying.

Logo displayed the most formidable power among them.

Secondly, there is Lancelot, whose title Lord of Endless is renowned throughout the Astral Realm, and he is widely recognized as Eternity- level warrior.

The weakest is the Devouring Demon Spider, but even the weakest Devouring Demon is still firmly at the level of Peak Supreme God. After obtaining half of the Heart of the Abyss, it has the confidence to launch an attack on the Eternity Realm at any time, and it is highly likely to succeed. However, it is probably just waiting for the right opportunity.

"If these three terrifying beings all reach the Eternity level, then the entire Astral Realm could be overthrown by their combined efforts, although this overthrow itself might not be a bad thing..." The World Tree understood Logo's pursuit of order, and the Lord of Endless was also a peace-loving being, at least willing to stand on the side of good and law.

As for the Devouring Demon Spider, although the World Tree abhors evil, it must be said that evil cannot be eliminated. As long as humanity exists, there will always be evil in this world, just as light and darkness are opposed to each other.

The Void was boundless, and the darkness was endless. In a certain part of the Void, Lancelot, who was walking, suddenly heard a kind and gentle female voice in his ear.

"Lancelot, Star Watcher, my child..."

Lancelot paused, a figure flashing through his mind.

That is the Mother of the Stars.

"Your Majesty the Mother Goddess!"

Lancelot showed great respect to this strongest being in the Astral Realm and the creator of the Earth Guardian lineage, and quickly bowed in greeting.

The Mother of the Stars was quite satisfied with Lancelot's attitude. She nodded and said, "The power you have displayed is now completely comparable to the Eternity Realm. Do you plan to break through to that level next?"

"Yes." Lancelot answered frankly without hiding anything, and in fact, he couldn't hide it at all. After all, he had already reached this level, and what was next? Any intelligent person could see it.

"Have you decided where to start?" the Mother of the Stars asked.

"Oh? Do you have any advice for me?"

Lancelot, being a member of the Dospers, immediately responded upon hearing the Mother of the Stars ' words and their underlying meaning.

The Mother of the Stars did not immediately respond to Lancelot, but instead spoke to herself.

"The Astral Realm is about to face a catastrophe."

"More precisely, the surrounding Chaos Zone, all realms, will face a catastrophe."

"That was Destruction Tide derived from the Chaos Sea, unstoppable and impossible to cross."

"Although the Astral Realm appears powerful, it is actually quite weak in the face of Destruction Tide, therefore we need more Eternal."

"Your potential is extraordinary, and you are very likely to surpass me in the future. Under these circumstances, Eternity must be based on the best possible conditions."

The Mother of the Stars finally got to the part Lancelot most wanted to hear.

And He finally played his trump card, the one he had used to transfer Lancelot away from the Astral Realm.

"Spirit Ruins..."
