supreme deity

Chapter 834 Divine Rank (Thanks to Alliance Leader 0 Jingtian 0!)
Fang Ranran's voice was calm, yet it struck the hearts of everyone in the conference room like a thunderbolt, stirring up a storm in their minds.

The entire conference room fell into a brief silence, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, with only the faint hum of the holographic projection equipment.

A moment later, the crowd's reaction exploded like a thousand firecrackers being lit.

The president frowned and spoke first: "Ms. Fang, are you sure the information is reliable? The final war of the gods is no small matter."

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety and worry in his heart: "Since Your Highness the Lord of Light knew that the Celestial Venerable of Dreams was going to attack him, why did you still participate in the siege of the Lord of Fate?"

The President knows that the artificial canopy is complete and that all the gods are preparing for battle.

However, he knew that the gods valued the population of the major colonial cities and would not deliberately attack mortals unless absolutely necessary in this divine war, so he remained calm.

In recent years, he has been focusing on building and upgrading shelters in various places to ensure that once the war of gods begins, they can accommodate hundreds of billions of people to enter the shelters as quickly as possible.

At this moment, however, he felt a sense of panic.

If the Lord of Light were to fall, the future of the Federation would be utterly bleak!

Without this human abyss as a support, the Federation's warships, army, Dyson artillery, and so-called abyssal weapons are all rootless duckweed.

Their immigration plan, their existing fourteen base cities, and even all their biotechnology and mechanical technology will only become a stepping stone for the gods.

Chief of Staff James Brad quickly pulled up a data panel, then said with a pale, bitter smile, "His Highness the Lord of Light should have given us advance notice. It is because of His existence that the Federation dares to cooperate with the gods and trade with the Celestial Star. If the Lord of Light falls, we will have no right to remain independent from the gods."

He looked at Fang Ranran and tentatively asked, "Ms. Fang, since the Lord of Light dared to accept the invitation to participate in the war, he must have a backup plan? I wonder what His Highness's chances of winning this battle?"

The problem is that it's the combined power of the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Great Sun Celestial Venerable! They are two God-King level beings! They both have powerful foundations and accumulated strength behind them. With the Lord of Light's current power, is he really confident in contending with them?

Fang Ranran shook her head slightly, her gaze firm yet tinged with worry: "He never mentioned any specific plans, but I believe he has a chance of winning. As far as I know, he has actually been preparing for today's battle for several years and has been working hard to accumulate strength."

She looked around at everyone present: "His Highness asked me to inform you all that he hopes you can ensure the stability of the Federation and protect his rear when the war of gods begins, so that he will not have any worries."

Fang Xianzheng, who had just been promoted to speaker, felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected Lin Rui to pull such a stunt at this moment.

"The gods still want to transcend through the artificial celestial canopy, so they probably won't attack ordinary people. What His Highness wants us to protect are the more than 10 billion believers of the Church of Light, as well as the two major groups under his command, especially your dock base, and um! And those 39 Pure One Altars, which are probably the key to the outcome of the battle between the gods."

As Fang Xianzheng spoke, he reached up to rub his temples, his head aching, but then realized he was wearing a Mind Guardian Helmet. He had no choice but to put his hand down with a worried expression: "The problem is that the power of the Dream Celestial and the gods has infiltrated every corner of the Federation's upper echelons. Moreover, according to intelligence, the Dream Celestial may have many subordinate gods under His command, and the other two supreme artifacts are also in His hands. I'm afraid the Federation is powerless to do anything about it. Has He not analyzed the balance of power between the two sides?"

At this moment, Fang Ranran's eyes showed admiration. Although her father's character was not very good, his ability was beyond doubt.

"His Highness told me that today's battle is unavoidable. He is destined to face this calamity. Therefore, no matter what power the Dream Celestial Venerable possesses, He must fight back! And He does indeed have a certain chance of winning. As for the Federation, as Father said, His Highness hopes that everyone can support His forces in fighting against the gods. Also, he said that when the gods are on the verge of transcendence, they will not attack mortals. But if they see no hope, they may use the Federation's 14 base cities to hold him hostage and gamble everything."

Most of the people in the conference room didn't react at first, but the eyes of more than a dozen federal leaders, including the president and Fang Xianzheng, lit up.

The Lord of Light's words don't seem to imply that he only has a slight chance of winning.

However, the Lord of Light's opponents are two God-Kings. Can His Highness the Lord of Light truly defeat them? Isn't he being too arrogant?
However, everyone couldn't help but recall the battle of Huangshan Island, their hearts pounding and their breathing becoming rapid.

"Since this battle is unavoidable, we have no choice but to fight with all our might."

Federal Security Bureau Chief Li Jianglong narrowed his eyes, his fingers stroking the sword at his waist. He slowly said, "I suggest immediately activating the highest-level emergency plan and mobilizing all available resources. However, since the divine war has not yet begun, we can use the guise of an 'exercise' to mobilize troops and resources, while simultaneously controlling all key facilities. Our Federal Security Bureau will also go all out to make thorough preparations. In addition—"

He paused, then lowered his voice: "Distribute all the 'Mind Protection Helmets' produced as soon as possible."

Xie Xingyun, president of the Martial Arts Association, nodded with a solemn expression: "To ensure the safety of all citizens, the government needs to allow all citizens to enter the Ark in advance under the guise of a 'refugee exercise' at an appropriate time."

The Ark is the highest-level shelter built by the Earth Federation. It can not only withstand the aftershocks of divine power from a range of 300 kilometers away, but also transform into a space capsule without the ability to travel at or faster than the speed of light, allowing for short-distance travel in the universe.

Xie Xingyun turned to Fang Ranran and said, “His Highness the Lord of Light has been very kind to our Martial Arts Association. I, Xie, was able to join the ranks of the Immortals thanks to the Abyss Divine Stele bestowed by His Highness. Therefore, the Martial Arts Association will not stand idly by in this battle. From this moment on, all official members of the Martial Arts Association, including myself, will be at the command of His Highness the Lord of Light. If His Highness needs us in any way, please just give the order.”

Fang Ranran nodded: "Your Highness is looking to rely on the Association's strength. I will communicate with the president later."

The Martial Arts Association is now very powerful, with seven members at the Longevity level! They have also raised funds to create two Abyss weapons based on the research of various federal agencies on the Abyss.

However, Fang Ranran would certainly not go into the details of the battle plan in the noisy meeting room.

Chief of Staff James Brad took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, activating the highest level of emergency response is imperative! Furthermore, I propose that all ships be placed on standby immediately, ready to evacuate and leave the Celestial Pole System. At the same time, we should activate the plan to destroy the Celestial Foundation and all energy cores, all databases, supercomputers, and research institutions. If things cannot be accomplished, these things should be destroyed rather than left to the gods!"

As the Chief of Staff of the Federation, he could not ignore the situation and consequences of the Lord of Light's defeat.

James Brad then looked at the projected image of the interior of the ring in front of him, his eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness, trepidation, and anticipation.

Can His Highness the Lord of Light truly win this so-called 'destined battle'?

※※※※

Inside the star ring, the dark purple star core, two thousand kilometers in diameter, is trembling violently. The distorted barrier formed by the intertwining of the divine runes of truth and the primordial matter is rapidly collapsing under the siege of the gods.

Lin Rui unfurled his nine pairs of Star River Light Wings, and the power of purification washed over the battlefield like a tidal wave, cleansing away all concepts around him. Even the root pollution spreading across the right half of the Supreme Celestial Venerable's body was temporarily suppressed.

The golden sun crown atop his head unleashed countless dark red lightning spears, clashing with the Supreme Celestial Venerable on one hand and relentlessly attacking the figure of the Lord of Destiny on the other.

He held the supreme artifact 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire' in his palm, transforming it into a fiery blade that swept across the void. Wherever the blade passed, the threads of fate snapped one by one, as if severing the chains of cause and effect.

The Lord of Fate's black robes fluttered, his figure flickering like a phantom, yet he was still grazed by the 'Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire' on his shoulder. The moment the dark golden divine blood splattered, it actually condensed into twisted runes in the void, countless blood-red threads—the condensation of the four concepts of 'guaranteed hit', 'probability', 'guidance', and 'destined death'.

He wanted to deflect all of Lin Rui's power, to guide the Supreme Celestial Venerable's Spear of Truth to strike Lin Rui.

Surprisingly, the threads of fate he manipulated had a far less effective effect on Lin Rui than those of the gods.

Only these blood-red threads can restore the conceptual effect to a normal level.

The Lord of Fate had a cold look in his eyes and an extremely ugly expression. Back then, in order to increase Lin Rui's strength in fighting against the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable, and at the same time to take back the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Purification Method as backup plans, He merged at least a quarter of His soul into Lin Rui's primordial spirit.

However, this move has now become his fatal flaw.

Although the Lord of Fate was skilled in the art of destiny, the merging of this part of the soul with Lin Rui disrupted his interference in Lin Rui's fate. This situation was like a mirror reflecting a mirror, with endless overlapping shadows, just as a doctor cannot cure his own hidden ailment, making it difficult for his threads of fate to bind Lin Rui.

The key point is that Lin Rui himself can also be considered a quarter of the master of destiny. The concept of 'one' governs all laws, and he transforms the cause-and-effect loop himself. The life thread enters the body like snow falling into a furnace, disappearing before it is touched.

The Lord of Fate's use of all the deadly conceptual powers on Lin Rui was like committing suicide, triggering the instinctive resistance of his primordial spirit and creating a paradox in the power of fate emanating from this child.

At this moment, the battle between the Supreme Celestial Venerable and the gods intensified. The seven-colored bubbles of the Dream Celestial Venerable exploded around the Supreme Celestial Venerable, releasing the power to tamper with memories and fighting instincts from each bubble, while trying to tamper with the Supreme Celestial Venerable's past memories.

Today, this God-King seems to have gone all out. In addition to using illusion magic to silently infiltrate the minds of the Supreme Being and the Lord of Fate, causing their movements to freeze momentarily during the battle and disrupting their rhythm with strange interference, he also manifested his own 'truth' with his own dream magic—the truth of his dream world. He also possessed seven-colored armor and a long sword, allowing the Dream Celestial Venerable to hold his own against the Silver-Haired Goddess in a head-on confrontation.

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable, with his three heads and six arms, coldly unleashed the Judgment Fire. The twelve dark golden wheels, refined from the essence of the Divine Law Celestial Venerable, spun wildly, each engraved with strict laws and order runes, cutting the entire void into a solid 'law prison'.

"Those who violate the law shall be executed!"

Six golden suns shone behind His head, releasing intense heat and powerful judgment, impacting the Supreme Celestial Venerable like a blazing storm.

Although he had lost his former divine body, he seized the source essence and source core obtained from studying the Great Sun Method in the Southern Abyss. Relying on his understanding of the various Great Sun Methods and his status as the former master of the Great Sun, the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable's Great Sun Methods were still incredibly powerful, almost comparable to the divine level!

Within this cage of law, the source of corruption in the Supreme Celestial Venerable's right arm began to run rampant, and the amethyst flesh and blood transformed into thousands of tentacles that devoured her brain.

The flames of judgment burned across her snow-white skin, each streak etching a scarlet verdict upon her flesh!

Within her twelve-fold conceptual halo, scorched by the flames of judgment, blackened cracks continuously appeared. The 'order' and 'chaos' within clashed fiercely under the interference of the concepts of the Great Sun and Dream, shattering into countless fragments of laws.

The Hopeful Deity, who was hiding behind the Great Sun Deity, seized the opportunity and stabbed the Supreme Deity three times, piercing her divine body.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable seemed to be unable to continue, but there was no fear on her cold face. Just as she hoped that the Celestial Venerable would plunge another knife into her chest and abdomen, her left eye, which reflected the past, flashed red light in an instant, and the divine pattern of truth shone brightly on the gilded black robe.

In that instant, time was reversed, and everything about the Supreme Celestial Venerable returned to the state it had been two seconds earlier.

With a single, trembling hand, she conjured spears woven from twelve different conceptual powers, which then slammed into the path of the Dream Celestial's spears. The colorful bubbles burst, and the Dream Celestial's dreamlike power shattered like glass.

In the face of true truth, the power of manifestation of the Dream Celestial and the truth of dreams are as fragile as thin paper.

The amethyst flesh on the Supreme Celestial Venerable's right arm twisted into a giant claw, crushing the three golden suns of the Great Sun. The dark purple primordial substance flowed in the opposite direction of the flames, eroding the Great Sun's divine body.

"The root?!" Da Ri's pupils contracted, his eyes showing intense fear. He suddenly retreated, and the Judgment Ring spun rapidly, forcibly stripping away the root pollution.

The Hope Celestial Venerable behind him changed his expression drastically. He had stabbed the Supreme Celestial Venerable three times before, and now he discovered that many dark purple crystal flesh and blood were spreading up his blade, climbing up his right hand and eroding into his flesh.

Even more terrifying is that within the blood river condensed by the Celestial Venerable, the countless spirits who held hope for him and were slaughtered in their hopes are now turning against him under the power of the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

At this time, the gods were in dire straits. The Western Abyss was trying to erase a portion of the Supreme Being's power with the method of nothingness, while using the illusory as the real and the real as the illusory, attempting to shake the foundation of the existence of truth.

The divine power of the Northern Abyss further covered the Supreme Celestial Venerable's feet and throne with a thick layer of ice.

The Devouring Celestial Venerable contributed the least, always transforming into a vortex to devour the divine power of the Lord of Fate and the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

However, when the Supreme Celestial Venerable's divine power retaliated, part of the divine body of the Western Abyss was directly reduced to nothingness, and the giant sword that the Northern Abyss had transformed into was sealed in a thick layer of ice.

The Devouring Celestial's situation was actually the worst. A large amount of black flames burned in the vortex, while countless silver hairs spread and pierced through the vortex, causing traces of purple-gold blood to drip continuously from the vortex.

The Dream Celestial's eyes suddenly turned extremely gloomy and unpleasant.

This is the famous 'Mirror of Truth' of the Supreme Celestial Venerable! It is a combination of the law of truth and the concept of reflection.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable's truth and law is the absolute understanding of the essence and laws of the world.

She can reverse-engineer the concepts of the gods, analyze and reconstruct their conceptual mysteries, and discover the weaknesses and flaws in their concepts. Then, with a more powerful conceptual reflection, she can use their own methods against them.

In ancient times, the Mirror of Truth was incredibly powerful. Any deity that attacked the Supreme Celestial Venerable would have their attacks reflected back by the Mirror of Truth, creating an even stronger conceptual force! Anyone who dared to violate the truth would be devoured by its conceptual origin.

This 'Supreme One' has actually recovered to the point of reclaiming the concept of reflection?
The Celestial Venerable first glanced at Lin Rui beside him and found that there was nothing about this Lord of Light that he could criticize.

Lin Rui was indeed suppressing the Lord of Fate with all his might. If the Lord of Fate hadn't been unable to spare much power to interfere with the battle, their situation would have been even more dire. He then swept his cold, knife-like gaze across the gods: "I understand that you all want to conserve your divine power to fight the Heavenly Curtain, but if the Supreme One truly revives, it will be a pipe dream for us to even leave this place alive. How can we talk about an artificial Heavenly Curtain? If you continue to hold back, then this Star Ring Satellite will likely become our burial ground!"

"Why is the Dream God King so anxious?" The Lord of Darkness chuckled leisurely. "Even the Supreme Celestial Venerable at his peak would have to pay a price to reverse time, let alone her. Judging from her current state, she doesn't seem like she can be fully revived."

The Lord of Darkness is actually in a very bad situation as well.

His shadow, which was originally like a malignant sore, turned into a black tide that submerged the karmic fire beneath the feet of the Supreme One, a poison of eternal silence and death.

But just after the Supreme Celestial Venerable’s left eye looked back, these black tides surged back and devoured the Lord of Darkness’s body!
The Lord of Darkness remained calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient: "Instead of urging us to put in more effort, God-King, you should let the two gods of the Central Continent do their part. Only their spacetime techniques can truly suppress the Supreme One's time-travel. And among us, shouldn't it be Your Majesty the God-King who has truly preserved the most?"

The two gods of the Central Continent were mentioned by the Lord of Darkness, but they did not listen. The two of them joined forces to make the entire space and the surrounding time wrinkle like paper, thus imprisoning the Supreme Being within it.

However, with a light tap of his fingertip, the divine runes of truth spread like a virus, forcibly "correcting" the folded space back to its original state.

However, the two gods of the Central Continent were not prepared to do more. They had already fulfilled their obligations and restrained the silver-haired goddess to a certain extent, which was enough.

Upon hearing this, the Dream Celestial Venerable frowned deeply. He knew, of course, that the Supreme Celestial Venerable's fundamental vital energy was being continuously depleted. If the battle continued to drag on and consume energy, the Supreme Celestial Venerable's flesh and consciousness would collapse in at most 30 minutes.

However, as time went by, the Dream Celestial Venerable's primordial spirit experienced waves of unease, sensing a slight disturbance.
His gaze swept between Lin Rui, the Eastern Abyss, the two gods of the Central Continent, and the Lord of Darkness.

According to the Dream Celestial, the Eastern Abyss and the Lord of Fate had a deal, which likely involved assisting the Eastern Abyss in controlling the artificial sky.

The Twin Gods of the Central Continent were also highly suspicious. When the Lord of Fate threw out those 30 artificial sky canopy bases, the people of the Twin Gods of the Central Continent arrived immediately to take over.

It is evident that there must be some connection between the Lord of Destiny and these two individuals.

In addition, the Lord of Darkness and Lin Rui also worried him. The Dream Celestial Venerable knew that the Lord of Darkness had, to some extent, replaced His position from hundreds of thousands of years ago and become the spokesperson for the Root Will.

His method of 'assimilation' was made possible by the cooperation and gifts of the Root, but this quasi-god king was also wary of the Root and did not integrate further.

As for Lin Rui, he should have already understood the truth, but for some reason, he still abides by the divine covenant and goes all out to attack the Lord of Fate.

The Celestial Venerable of Dreams did not understand where his sense of crisis came from, yet at this moment, with each passing second, the heart of his alien body pounded more and more violently.

Delay could lead to unforeseen changes; we cannot afford to postpone this any longer!
After this thought flashed through the mind of the Celestial Venerable of Dreams, he immediately flicked his sleeve slightly: "Mengli! Ruoyin!"

In that instant, the void behind the Dream Celestial Venerable suddenly distorted, and two divine lights tore through space and descended upon the battlefield.

One of them was Meng Li, whom Lin Rui had met many times. This woman wielded a giant, black scythe with a blade curved like a crescent moon, and slashed it down toward the head of the Lord of Fate.

The handle of the scythe was inlaid with a huge blood-red gemstone, which emitted a deep and mesmerizing light. The blade and the shaft were covered with scarlet blood patterns. When it was swung, it made a piercing cutting sound, which almost tore Lin Rui's eardrums.

Lin Rui's eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized the giant scythe as the 'God-Splitting Heavenly Blade,' one of the three supreme divine artifacts.

This item is renowned in the world on par with the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, not only because it is also a complete embodiment of the Abyss Source Essence and Source Core, but also because the 'Divine Rift Heavenly Blade' is a remnant of the former God Yi Heavenly Venerable. God Yi Heavenly Venerable was an extremely powerful god two hundred thousand years ago and a key figure in the reason why the Undying Dragon Venerable perished.

This scythe embodies the four concepts of 'severing', 'evolution', 'fortification' and 'vitality' of the Divine Lord Yi! It can not only sever the connection between the soul and the body, but also continuously evolve in battle, making each attack more deadly than the last.

The black light blade tore a rift in space and time like lightning. Even the Lord of Fate could not avoid it. The light blade followed him like a shadow and forcibly tore open his black robe. Dark gold divine blood gushed out like a spring!

As Mengli wounded her master, she gave Lin Rui a cold, sidelong glance.

In the past seven years, she actually had countless opportunities to kill this child. Unfortunately, the Dream Celestial Venerable was initially unwilling to let the Great Sun Celestial Venerable benefit, and later, after learning that the Lord of Destiny had returned, she became even more hesitant, almost raising a tiger to cause trouble.

But today everything can end.

The other woman was someone Lin Rui was seeing for the first time.

This woman should also be a priestess of the Dream Celestial Venerable. She wore a moon-white robe, her black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, a diamond-shaped ice crystal adorned between her brows, her skin was fair and almost transparent, and her eyes were indifferent like a god looking down on the mortal world. Her aura was ethereal yet powerful.

What's even more striking is the ram's horn lamp she's carrying. The lamp is covered with ancient runes, and its wick burns with a ghostly blue flame, the light of which reflects countless twisted trajectories of fate.

That should be the last of the three supreme artifacts—the 'Creation Lamp,' which possesses the concepts of 'alteration,' 'reshaping,' and 'replacement.'

This is also an extremely powerful artifact, said to be able to forcibly modify and replace all things and laws, and even reshape all matter and concepts.

The moment Lin Rui saw this woman, he understood that the powerful being whose spiritual energy rivaled that of a god that he had sensed during his battle with the Devouring Lord in the Heavenly Abyss Passage was this woman.

At this moment, the spatial rules surrounding the Lord of Fate were instantly disrupted, not only slowing down his movements, but also nearly half of the threads of fate were altered, reshaped, and replaced by the power of this world-creating lamp.

When Ruoyin gently blew out the lamp flame, the threads of fate around the Lord of Destiny seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand. The threads of cause and effect that had been binding Lin Rui suddenly changed and were all replaced.

Upon seeing this, all the gods' expressions changed drastically, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they looked at the Dream Celestial Venerable with a hint of fear.

Although they had long suspected that the two supreme artifacts might be in the hands of the Dream Celestial Venerable, they were still shocked and filled with dread when they witnessed this scene firsthand.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Rui unfurled his nine pairs of Star River Light Wings and unleashed a thousand-foot-long blade of Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire.

Since he promised in the divine contract that he would go all out, he would never hold back!

Moreover, time is running out. Although Lin Rui hoped that the Lord of Fate and the 'Supreme One' could help him buy more time, he was now only 0.0001% away from victory.

It would be best if this battle could last for another minute or so; resolving it now would not affect the overall situation.

To Lin Rui's surprise, the Lord of Fate before him did not resist, allowing Lin Rui's flaming blade to pierce through His divine body!
This surprised and puzzled Lin Rui.

With these two Dream Priests joining the battle, the fall of the 'Lord of Fate' is inevitable. However, with the power of this Abyss, struggling for three to five seconds is not a problem.

At this moment, Lin Rui's Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire washed over the body's limbs and bones like a tidal wave, causing His body to shatter like glass.

The Lord of Fate, who had kept his body and face hidden beneath his cloak, remained unconcerned. He looked at Lin Rui with a mocking gaze: "I don't know what methods you've prepared, why you're so determined to break the balance and kill me? But it doesn't matter. This time, I'll grant your wish. Now let me see how you deal with the Dream Celestial Venerable—"

boom!
With this loud bang, countless white flames and lightning surged out from the wounds and pores of the Lord of Fate. However, a wisp of black energy and a dark golden source essence core also rushed out from inside his body and flowed towards Lin Rui's divine body.

Lin Rui's expression changed slightly as he tried his best to refine, purify, and cleanse the black energy. However, some strands of black energy still managed to penetrate the holy radiance emanating from his body and enter his body.

At this moment, everyone's attention was completely drawn to this astonishing scene. Almost no one noticed that the two gods of the Central Continent had actually formed a peculiar hand seal in their sleeves. Divine light shone from their pupils, and their hair and robes danced without wind.

The Eastern Abyss noticed the unusual behavior of the two. He glanced at the two gods of the Central Continent, then turned his gaze back to Lin Rui.

He frowned deeply, a hint of suspicion and hesitation appearing in his eyes.

The Eastern Abyss is now only one step away from inscribing the divine-level 'Limitless' technique. However, does Lin Rui's killing of the Lord of Fate mean that he is about to cross that crucial step?
Dong Zhi Shen Yuan felt a little regretful. His "Wuji" method was based on the achievements of Wuji Dao Zun and his own understanding of the truth, and was re-condensed, so the process was quite difficult.

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have been so greedy and pursued the more perfect divine level 'Limitless'.

Lin Rui continued refining the essence, determined not to let the remnant spirit of the Lord of Fate possess his body and cause trouble, or even be replaced by this ancient deity.

For this, he even went so far as to destroy the source matter and source core of the Lord of Fate.

However, just as the Destiny Master's methods of fate are difficult to influence him, when Lin Rui used flames to burn and purify the Destiny Master's soul, it had no effect.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Celestial Venerable of Dreams intervened, absorbing the black mist and dark golden threads into one dreamlike bubble after another, which then burst open like bubbles.

The black mist vanished completely, but along with it, a portion of the Lord of Fate's source essence and core also disappeared.
The priestess Ruoyin also made her move at the same time, directly using the Creation Lamp to alter the thoughts of the Lord of Fate.

Just as the black mist was gradually dissipating, Lin Rui suddenly heard a clear, jade-like female voice behind him ask, "I'm afraid that Luo Wangshu isn't just your master, is she?"

Lin Rui turned around and found that the one who asked him the question was none other than the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

Although the Lord of Destiny had perished and the gods had intensified their attacks, she remained composed and unfazed. Her three thousand silver swords swept across the battlefield with ease, effortlessly severing the conceptual divine power of the gods and forcing everyone to retreat a thousand paces, unable to cross the line.

However, Lin Rui could sense that the 'Supreme One's' essence was being rapidly depleted.

"I can sense that she has very special feelings for you, feelings I've never experienced before. I imagine you feel the same way, painstakingly planning for her sake."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable, having said this, lowered his head and glanced around at himself, letting out a long sigh: "What a pity—"

Unfortunately, the Lord of Fate's plan ultimately failed. Even if the Lord of Fate were to be resurrected in Lin Rui and help her reunite her true spirit, it might not be her at that time.

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly realizing that this 'Supreme Celestial Venerable' had not failed to sense Luo Wangshu's presence, but rather had sensed it but had chosen not to leak the information.

This is the tacit understanding between their Supreme Celestial Venerables.

They all originated from the Supreme Being. The first thing they need to do now is not to fight for dominance of consciousness, but to reunite the true spirit.

If any one of them succeeds, that person will be the true supreme ruler.

At that moment, he heard the Supreme Celestial Venerable chuckle softly: "Enough!"

This person actually raised his hand and shot a beam of silver light towards Lin Rui: "You can give these to her. These are the source essence and source core that I have refined and that have not been contaminated by the root source."

Lin Rui was unable to respond, because at that moment, the gazes of the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Great Sun Celestial Venerable were simultaneously cast upon him, their eyes filled with greed and determination, like wolves in the darkness smelling blood, sending chills down one's spine.

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable had tilted the middle head of his three-headed, six-armed form slightly forward, and opened all six eyes at the same time, with blazing golden flames burning in them, emanating a powerful aura.

The flames flickered, seemingly telling of endless longing and hatred, carrying a powerful sense of oppression, as if they wanted to see through, melt, and devour everything about Lin Rui!
The Dream Celestial Venerable's lips curled up slightly, making no attempt to hide his greed. His expression suggested that Lin Rui was already his, and he was determined to have him.

Lin Rui also heard the Lord of Fate's mocking laughter within his consciousness: "It seems they have indeed reached an agreement. What should you do now, young man? How should you deal with this—"

The Lord of Fate's voice abruptly stopped, as if he had sensed something, causing Lin Rui's soul to tremble violently.

At this moment, the Great Sun Celestial Venerable suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Lin Rui, forcibly taking the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire from Lin Rui's hand and turning it into a ball of golden sun, which moved closer to him. The Dream Celestial Venerable looked at Lin Rui with a smile, causing Lin Rui's consciousness to be filled with illusions.

Within Lin Rui's consciousness, the Lord of Fate cried out in disbelief, "You're inscribing a divine concept? Is this your One Method? This is impossible!"
