Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 237, The Essence of the Creator God

Lin Yuan stood there quietly, his posture as upright as a pine tree, exuding a chilling aura, as if all things in the world were under his control.

He didn't even raise his hand when facing the Earth Thief Star Lord; he merely glanced at him.

This single glance seemed to contain boundless power, like an invisible divine ray that instantly pierced through the body of the Earth Thief Star Lord, reaching the very depths of his soul.

In an instant, an unprecedented terror descended upon the heart of this golden immortal.

The Earth Thief Star Lord felt as if he were in an endless dark abyss, with countless unknown fears quietly spreading around him.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a sound.

The next moment, the Earth Thief Star Lord was horrified to discover that his body was being disintegrated bit by bit.

Starting from his fingertips, his skin, muscles, bones, and even his soul were transforming into the most primal power and rules at an extremely slow yet unstoppable pace.

These forces and rules, as if drawn by an invisible giant hand, were exposed one by one before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Lin Yuan watched all of this calmly, his eyes as deep as an abyss, as if he could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

As the Earth Thief Star Lord decomposed, those primordial powers and rules began to merge into the surrounding world.

The unknown world, already shrouded in mystery, underwent astonishing changes under the infusion of these powers.

The strange light flickering in the void grew increasingly brilliant, and the stability of the space continued to increase.

As the primal power and rules transformed from the Earth Thief Star Lord continued to integrate, this mysterious and unknown world was as if injected with a powerful catalyst, undergoing earth-shattering changes.

In the void, the light shone even more brightly, as if countless stars were awakening deep within this world.

Amidst the convergence and collision of these lights, a colossal star slowly materialized.

It is like a dazzling pearl, suspended in the void, radiating a soft yet powerful light.

On the surface of the stars, various strange patterns and lights intertwine, seemingly carrying out an ancient and mysterious ritual.

Upon closer inspection, faint ripples of light could be seen within the star, as if other life forms were about to break free and begin a miracle of creation.

Beneath the starry sky, in the several continents that originally existed within Lin Yuan's inner world, the creatures on them were busy with their own affairs.

Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge star suddenly appear in the sky.

In an instant, astonishment spread through the crowd.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in this inner world that had undergone drastic changes due to absorbing the essence of the Earth Thief Star Lord, exuding a calm and powerful aura.

His consciousness was like an invisible net, capturing all the information about the Great Dao released after the Earth Thief Star Lord was decomposed.

As he delved deeper into the analysis of this information, his eyes grew brighter, gleaming with wisdom.

In that instant, Lin Yuan suddenly understood everything, as if a dazzling light had illuminated the area in his heart that had always been blurry.

"So, this is the essence of the Doumu Goddess system."

He murmured to himself, his voice low and filled with awe.

His tone conveyed both amazement at the revelation of the truth and joy at the improvement in his own understanding.

The next moment, a dense chaotic power rose up around him.

This chaotic power is like the mysterious force at the beginning of the universe in ancient times, filled with endless mystery and majesty.

At the same time, countless stars shone in this place, each star containing unique rules and mysteries, intertwining with the power of chaos to form a magnificent and mysterious scene.

Lin Yuan's voice rang out again, carrying a sense of certainty and authority:

"The Great God Doumu is the Mother Goddess of Chaos and the Source of All Stars; the Great God Pangu is the Ancestral God of Order; and the Great God Zhulong, the Root of the Great Dao, is the Ancestral God of Time and Space and the Master of the Closed Loop."

His words resonated like a great bell in this inner world, as if proclaiming to the whole world the truths he had revealed.

As Lin Yuan gained a clearer understanding of the true nature of these great figures, a strong desire welled up within him.

He knew that he was still some distance away from achieving the Great Luo Realm, and that he needed more power to achieve this goal.

"I need more star power."

He spoke in a low voice, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was surrounded by chaotic power and starlight, like a god who controlled the mysteries of the universe.

Immediately afterwards, he moved slightly, and his body shone brightly. Chaotic power and starlight surged violently around him, forming a small cosmic vortex.

As Lin Yuan stepped into the vortex, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted and folded by a powerful force.

Inside the vortex, space and time are distorted, light flickers, and everything becomes illusory and unreal.

Entangled by this powerful force, Lin Yuan's figure vanished instantly, leaving only the slowly spinning vortex behind.

In the real world, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared in a desolate place.

Not far away, a huge rock stands silently, appearing particularly out of place in this vast and desolate environment.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his powerful perception surged forth like a tidal wave, enveloping the boulder.

In an instant, he discerned the secret hidden within the boulder—a Star Lord of the Golden Immortal level was lurking there.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan moved his mind, and the chaotic power around him intertwined with starlight, transforming into an invisible yet incredibly powerful giant hand that reached towards the boulder.

Wherever this giant hand went, space distorted slightly, emitting a soft "crackling" sound.

The moment the giant hand touched the boulder, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted. The star lord within the boulder seemed to sense the danger and attempted to resist.

However, Lin Yuan's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, so how could he let him escape?

His eyes narrowed, and his giant hand tightened abruptly, the immense pressure instantly pulling the boulder and the star lord within it into his inner world.

Upon entering the inner world, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to begin his analysis of the Star Lord.

His consciousness transformed into countless threads, wrapping around the Star Lord's origin, and began to peel away the power and rules contained within it.

The Star Lord struggled in terror, letting out roars of resentment, but all resistance was futile in the face of Lin Yuan's absolute strength.

As the analysis deepened, Lin Yuan felt powerful forces surging into his body, each carrying unique attributes and mysteries, deepening his understanding of stellar power. From then on, Lin Yuan, like a tireless hunter, constantly traversed the real world.

His figure flashed across the mountains and rivers like a streak of light.

Whenever he discovers a boulder containing a star deity, he will swiftly absorb it into his inner world and analyze it.

Suddenly, in the real world, the giant rocks that had been standing quietly began to disappear one after another.

In a certain location in the real world, Old Li was handling various matters with a furrowed brow.

Suddenly, a subordinate rushed over and reported to him in a flustered manner:
"My lord, something terrible has happened! Those mysterious boulders outside are disappearing one after another, as if... as if they're being sucked away by something out of thin air!"

Upon hearing this, Old Li dropped his pen on the table with a "thud," and stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.

"What? How is that possible! Those boulders have always been there, never moved, how could they suddenly disappear? Are you sure the information is accurate?"

The subordinate nodded hurriedly:

"It's absolutely true, sir! The brothers all saw it with their own eyes, and the speed at which they disappeared was extremely fast. In a short period of time, many boulders have already vanished!"

Old Li paced slowly, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He pondered to himself, these boulders have existed for a long time, and they knew what powerful beings existed inside them, but now they have mysteriously disappeared. What kind of power is hidden behind them?
Could it be that some powerful being is plotting something in the shadows?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

"I must find out the truth about this."

Old Li frowned, then began to gather his men to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the boulder.

Lin Yuan was so engrossed in analyzing the power of the Star Lord that he lost track of time.

As he absorbed and analyzed each star lord into his inner world, his strength grew like a snowball, and his control over the power of the stars became increasingly adept.

However, just as he once again absorbed a giant rock containing the Star Lord into his inner world, preparing to continue analyzing it, a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and an indescribable terror descended upon his heart without warning.

Lin Yuan's body tensed instantly, his heart pounding violently as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

He subconsciously stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head, and his gaze was like two dazzling divine rays, piercing through the deep space of the universe.

In the endless darkness and starry depths of the universe, he seemed to see an incomparably majestic being. That being emanated a soft yet awe-inspiring light, silently gazing at him with an unfathomable look in its eyes.

Lin Yuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and a look of panic flashed across his eyes.

But having weathered countless storms, he quickly calmed down.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his thoughts, and began to carefully consider this sudden crisis.

He pondered to himself that he had devoured hundreds of star lords, who had committed heinous crimes in their lives, their hands stained with blood, making them veritable executioners with enormous sins.

In his mind, these star deities deserved their punishment, and all he was doing was acting on behalf of Heaven to purify the world.

However, at this moment, facing the majestic being gazing at him from the depths of the universe, he suddenly realized that perhaps the good and evil he perceived were utterly insignificant in the eyes of that even more powerful being.

Those star lords he devoured were perhaps all his children before this being.

Whether good or evil, it is all part of its creation.

His unrestrained consumption of the Star Lords undoubtedly crossed the bottom line of this being, which led to this great terror.

Lin Yuan weighed the pros and cons and knew that if he continued to act rashly at this moment, he would most likely bring about his own destruction.

That majestic being deep within the universe possesses unfathomable power, far beyond his current ability to contend with.

He suppressed his desire for the power of the stars and decided to stop for the time being.

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed the turmoil in his heart.

The chaotic power and starlight around him gradually subsided, no longer as surging as before.

His senses, which had been constantly ready to search for new targets, slowly receded like the tide, disappearing back into his body.

With a thought, Lin Yuan's body flashed with light, instantly tearing open a spatial rift and stepping back into that familiar inner world.

Upon entering the inner world, he felt a powerful yet familiar aura rushing towards him.

That was the unique aura produced by the intertwining and collision of the many Star Lords' original powers that he had previously devoured.

He looked around and saw that the newly born stars in the inner world were becoming more and more brilliant, and the strange patterns on the surface of the stars were flowing more actively, as if they were cheering for the integration of power.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in the void, beginning to devote himself wholeheartedly to digesting and integrating the power of the Star Lord he had devoured.

As the fusion of powers deepened, his consciousness was as if it had been led into a completely new world, and those previously vague concepts were now gradually becoming clear.

"I originally thought that Pangu was the one who controlled all power, but in fact, Doumu is the source of all energy, the source of chaos and the starry sky."

He realized that behind the seemingly gentle light of the Goddess Doumu lay the most primordial energy from the very beginning of the universe.

This energy is not a simple manifestation of power, but a primordial force that nurtures and nourishes all things, like a seed of the universe containing infinite possibilities.

"The Great God Pangu, though known in some worlds as the master of the Great Dao of Power, wielding power of any nature, is actually more characterized by the construction and creation of order. The rules and foundations of the world were all established by him."

Lin Yuan's mind became increasingly active, and he seemed to see the magnificent scene of the great god Pangu holding a giant axe and splitting the world apart.

With his immense power, the great god Pangu split the chaos in two, the clear part rising to become the heavens, and the turbid part sinking to become the earth.

In this process, he not only shaped the form of heaven and earth, but also constructed the rules and order for the operation of all things in the world.

The course of mountains and rivers, and the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, all follow the order created by the god Pangu, operating in an orderly manner.

"Therefore, the cultivation of the supreme and primordial immortal path is to build a perfect framework for oneself and then fill it with the power of the Great God Doumu, as the source of all motivation, the Great God Zhulong."
It is the lubricant that connects and links many great paths, allowing different paths to perfectly merge into one. All things in the universe, under the constraints of time and space, and cause and effect, will perfectly form a closed loop.

He seemed to understand.

The supreme and primordial immortal path is like a magnificent building, whose framework determines its stability and development potential.

The source of Doumu's power is the foundation and driving force that fills this building, providing it with a continuous source of energy.

The Great God Zhulong is like a magical craftsman who skillfully connects various different paths, allowing them to merge and promote each other, forming a harmonious and unified whole.

Intertwined with time, space, and causality, everything forms a perfect closed loop, without beginning or end, endlessly repeating itself.

"This is a path that combines the characteristics of all three."
