supreme deity

Chapter 835 Yuanshi Tianzun!

At the moment of the Lord of Destiny's 'death', Wang Lina, wearing the 'Mind Guardian Type B' headband, had already followed the crowd into an ark-like refuge.

She initially thought it was a drill, but just three minutes later, the Forest Group's internal communication channels suddenly exploded—a divine war had broken out in the Star Ring, and the aftershocks might sweep across fourteen base cities. The government had urgently activated the highest-level evacuation plan.

The situation is very bad. According to some internal sources, Dream Celestial Venerable has joined forces with Great Sun Celestial Venerable, intending to ambush and kill Lord of Light in the Star Ring, and help Great Sun Celestial Venerable reclaim the Source Essence Core. There are many details, and the story is very convincing.

The chat groups of the armored martial artists were instantly flooded with messages, which spread like wildfire.

Soon after, the crowd in the shelter began to stir, whispering among themselves and looking panicked.

The rumors that the Lord of Light was ambushed and killed inside the Star Ring were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that deeply shocked Wang Lina and everyone present, filling their hearts with unprecedented panic and unease.

The Ark Shelter is located right below the headquarters building of Forest Heavy Industries, so all the people who have entered this shelter are employees of the Forest Group. They cannot help but worry about the safety of that BOSS, as it is related to the future and fate of the group, the careers of everyone involved, and their own life and death in this catastrophe.

"It's strange. I watched a political talk show before, and the experts there were saying that the gods were fighting for the artificial sky curtain. The Lord of Light has withdrawn from the competition, so his status is transcendent. He will definitely have a place among the gods in the future. The Earth Federation is also generally safe. What's going on?"

“I don’t know, but the news should be accurate! Fighting has already broken out on the Star Ring side. My cousin is in the defense force, and he said that their monitoring satellites saw that the Great Sun Celestial’s Judgment Fire had burned through the outer layer of the Star Ring.”

"If that's the case, then it's terrifying! How could the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Great Sun Celestial Venerable join forces? How could the Lord of Light possibly deal with them alone?"

"I heard that the Celestial Venerable of Dreams is hiding two supreme artifacts, called the 'God-Splitting Heavenly Blade' and the 'World-Creating Divine Lamp,' both left behind by quasi-god kings. Their power is astonishing. No matter how powerful the Lord of Light is, he can't possibly fight four of them alone, right?"

"Damn it! The Lord of Light just gave all departments a raise last month. What will happen to our Forest Group if he falls? I haven't even finished paying off my mortgage yet!"

"I signed an equity incentive agreement just 10 days ago, I hope nothing bad happens to the boss."

"You still have the mind to think about salaries and stock options? If our base city is affected by the aftermath of the divine war, we don't know if we can even keep our homes. Why are you still worried about mortgages? Besides, the Federation is currently being supported entirely by the Lord of Light. If he is gone, the entire Earth Federation will be enslaved by the gods."

"Alright! The situation isn't as bad as you think. I have a friend in the group's defense department who just gave me a heads-up. The defense departments, escort departments, and alien companies of the Forest Group and Ruifang Group, as well as the Holy Light Cult's protective army, secretly mobilized an hour ago. All personnel and warships are on high alert, and weapons and equipment have been urgently deployed. Obviously, the BOSS was prepared in advance. Do you see if there are any martial arts practitioners above the fifth realm in this shelter?"

"I don't think there's a big problem. The gods certainly won't sit idly by and won't allow the Dream Celestial Venerable to dominate everything—"

As Wang Lina listened to these discussions, her mood grew increasingly heavy.

This stemmed from both concern for the safety of her old classmate and anxiety about her own future, for her current stable life and promising future were all thanks to the Lord of Light.

She sighed inwardly, once again deeply feeling the suffocating pressure of the gods.

These beings, who are above all living beings, can rewrite the fate of millions with a single thought. In the struggle between gods, mortals like her are nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust, unable to even control their own life and death.

Although the battlefield of the gods was far away in the star ring, the world-destroying power was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

Her painstakingly cultivated career and meticulously planned life trajectory are probably less than an ant in the eyes of the gods.

Wang Lina felt the dome of the shelter tremble slightly, but she didn't know if it was a real impact or a hallucination caused by fear.

The colleagues around him were pale-faced. Some began to pray quietly, while others mechanically refreshed their communicators, as if they could grasp at the last straw. In this moment of upheaval, the struggles of mortals seemed so futile and powerless.

"Lina," a bespectacled man nearby looked at Wang Lina. It was Zhang Cong, the director of the HR Quality and Operations Center next door. He lowered his voice and asked, "Any news from your side?"

He was well-informed and knew that the young woman in front of him, who was the director of the third-level department of the group's shared service center, was actually their BOSS, who was also the Lord of Light's former classmate.

Wang Lina shook her head slightly, but subconsciously glanced at her classmates' group chat.

Lin Rui didn't say anything in the classmates' group chat, only a message from Wang Sen five minutes ago: "Don't worry, everything's fine! Brother Rui was prepared, we should trust him."

Although it was only a short sentence, it calmed Wang Lina down a bit.

At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise: "Look at Channel 3 of 'New City Television'! At this hour, they're still broadcasting a political talk show, and their special guest is Sandel Quikley!"

Wang Lina was also surprised that a TV station was still recording and broadcasting a program at this time. Were they not afraid of dying?
And then there's Sandel Quikley, the famous political commentator who has never been wrong in his judgments on politics and deities over the years, and enjoys great popularity and prestige in the commentary world.

She immediately turned on her smart device and found the channel.

Wang Lina discovered that there was actually a television channel signal inside the shelter.

When she turned on the channel, the image of the host, Eileen, was instantly projected onto her retina. This woman, who was usually known for her lively and humorous image, now had a solemn expression and spoke in a serious voice: "Mr. Quikley, according to the information, there has been a new development in the Star Ring God War. The Dream Celestial and the Great Sun Celestial have joined forces to besiege the Lord of Light. What do you think of this God War?"

Sander pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflecting the blue light of the studio: "In my opinion, this battle of gods is by no means accidental. The alliance between Dream Celestial and Great Sun Celestial must have a deeper scheme behind it. I even suspect that Dream Celestial is actually the Lord of Fate. They are two sides of the same coin. And the Lord of Light may very well be a vessel for Dream Celestial's divided soul. So this so-called 'encirclement and kill' is a false proposition at all."

These words caused an uproar in the shelter. Wang Lina was also shocked, staring at the screen in disbelief.

"Why do you have such a judgment?" Host Eileen was also surprised and asked incredulously.

Sandel Quikley smiled: "The Dream Celestial is the oldest living god-king, having lived for over 300,000 years. His methods have always been unfathomable. Furthermore, some prominent scholars in the academic world recently believe that there is a deep connection between the Dream Celestial and the Lord of Fate. He may very well be the Lord of Fate, secretly manipulating all the astrologers over the past 300,000 years, thereby influencing the fate of the gods."

He paused, then projected several charts to his side: "These are the energy spectra of the Lord of Destiny and the Celestial Venerable of Dreams, obtained through special connections. The comparison charts of their electromagnetic field spectrum and etheric spectrum show a striking 58.7% match! This is no coincidence."

The host, Eileen, couldn't help but hiss and gasp, "Is this for real?"

"I can guarantee with my integrity that these charts are from reliable sources and absolutely authentic! What's even more interesting is—"

Sandel Quikley pulled up a few more charts: "Take another look at the Lord of Light. His overlap with the Lord of Fate is as high as 52.23%, and the overlap with the Dream Celestial is 37.50%. Especially this part, look closely, isn't it completely overlapping?"

"Eileen, think about it again. Has the Lord of Light's rise over the years been too smooth? Let's trace back the historical threads. The concept the Lord of Light initially grasped belonged to the Lord of Fate. And in the artificial canopy war four years ago, the Dream Celestial Venerable clearly possessed greater power, yet he didn't invest further, allowing the Lord of Light to win. And in the Huangshan Island battle, was the Dream Celestial Venerable also secretly aiding the Lord of Light? It's clear that every step this Lord takes is actually within the Dream Celestial Venerable's calculations."

Host Eileen frowned deeply: "So, the Dream Celestial Venerable is the Lord of Fate? And our Lord of Light is a vessel for a split soul that the Dream Celestial Venerable deliberately cultivated?"

Her voice began to tremble: "If that's really the case, then... then what should we do? Where will humanity's fate lead?"

“That’s not just a vessel for the soul of the Dream Celestial Venerable; it’s very likely a physical body he cultivated for himself, allowing him to regain a physical body after 30 years.”

Sandel shook his head, adjusting his cuffs with a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "Let's wait and see. The replacement of the Lord of Light is a foregone conclusion. At that time, the true God-King will complete the final piece of the puzzle, and this might actually be a good thing for the Earth Federation. Among all the abysses of Tianji Star, the Dream Celestial Venerable is the deity we humans have had the most contact with and are closest to—"

As Wang Lina saw this, she suddenly heard a piercing alarm sound and a red light emanating from her Mind Guardian helmet.

She felt a chill run down her spine, instantly realizing that she had been attacked by a mental force, and that this television channel clearly contained powerful spiritual pollution!
Just as Wang Lina was about to shout to alert everyone around her, the television screen in front of her suddenly went black and lost signal.

At this moment, Wang Lina received an email from the Information Security Department of Forest Group, which was an urgent statement.

"The Information Security Department has detected malicious psychological pollution information on Channel 3 of 'New City TV' and has forcibly disconnected all suspicious channel connections. All personnel are requested to remain calm, wear their 'Mind Guardian' helmets, and immediately check the operational status of their Mind Guardian helmets."

"The group has activated the highest level of protection, and all shelters are under the protection of multiple conceptual barriers! To reiterate: the so-called 'political talk show' currently being broadcast on New City TV is actually a source of mental pollution. Please do not believe it. The Lord of Light has already made arrangements. The group's defense system is operating normally. Please do not panic excessively. Please remain calm and wait for the crisis to pass."

At this moment, at the Ninth Base Urban Wharf Base, in the final battle command center specially built by Ruifang Forest Group, Lin Xi frowned, his face extremely grim: "It really is impossible to guard against! They actually buried a quantum communication repeater in such a place."

Just five days before this divine war began, she and Lin Yi inspected all the ark shelters built by the federal government. As a result, these shelters still had problems, even the shelters at the headquarters of the Forest Group and Ruifang Group were not spared.

The problem lies in the shelter's life support control system. Some of the chips and circuits only require a temporary structural modification, along with a small program, to transform them into temporary quantum communication repeaters to transmit the blocked television signals.

"President Lin, 52% of the Ark Base's television signal has been cut off!" At this moment, Yu Feicui, wearing the Mind Guardian Helmet Type A, sat on a control panel in front of Lin Xi. She frowned deeply: "However, things are getting more complicated. These bases are either out of contact or unwilling to obey government orders. The Federal military has mobilized troops to suppress them, and the Security Bureau and the Martial Arts Association are also cooperating fully. It is expected that within ten minutes, we can regain control of 22% of the bases."

However, the federal government and the military have also faced significant constraints and obstacles, and some military units have even rebelled.

Not everyone is willing to stand on the side of the Lord of Light without reservation. The power and infiltration of the Dream Celestial Venerable within the Federation are stronger and deeper than anyone imagined.

If it weren't for the Mind Protection Helmet developed by the Divine Angels, the situation would have been even worse.

Therefore, it was actually expected that the Goddess of Pain and Despair would not be able to uncover the methods set up by the Celestial Venerable of Dreams.

Yu Feicui, enduring the stinging pain in her eyes, turned around and glanced at Lin Yi, who was not far behind her.

The goddess of anguish stood suspended in mid-air with her eyes half-closed, her body enveloped in divine radiance. Behind her, nine pairs of illusory wings, connected to the heavens and the source, containing the power of pain, distortion, explosion, law, punishment, contract, and justice, spread out, extending more than three thousand miles to the left and right, even reaching into the outer layer of vacuum.

Yu Feicui knew that this person was using her twisted methods, through her avatars in the fourteen bases and the 'Pantheon', to cover all the Ark bases.

The Dream Celestial Venerable is eroding everyone's consciousness, while the Painful Celestial Maiden is distorting everyone's perception.

After glancing at it, Yu Feicui immediately shifted her gaze: "The good news is that all the shelters under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light are under our control and everything is operating normally."

Lin Xi was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the more than 500 holographic projection images stacked in front of him.

At this moment, these more than 500 arks housed 11.7 billion believers of the Church of Light!
The Church of Light has 139 billion officially registered followers, but only 117 billion are willing to enter the Church of Light's refuge.

These people are chanting hymns under the guidance of priests of the Church of Light.

These projected images were silent, but the increasingly sacred and radiant flames of the Pure One Altar alone revealed the focus and devotion of these believers. Lin Xi was secretly gratified, thinking that the 170000 trillion Federal Credits invested by the Church of Light over the past three years had not been wasted. These believers, attracted by the free breakfast, were still willing to contribute their efforts to her brother at this crucial moment.

Lin Xi then turned her gaze to another holographic projection on the left, her eyes fixed intently.

—It was a video array consisting of more than 3 holographic projections, playing monitoring footage from holographic monitoring devices placed in key locations.

Of the Federation's fourteen base cities, the truly important ones are only the five hundred and twenty Ark Shelters and the 39 Pure One Altars. As long as these people's perceptions do not change, Lin Rui's true spirit will not be greatly affected.

Lin Xi and Lin Yi are currently responsible for ensuring the safety of these ark shelters.

Their enemies are very strong! According to supercomputing predictions, the Dream Celestial Venerable possesses approximately 5 to 7 source cores and source materials that can be forged into supreme artifacts, including ancient and powerful abyssal beings such as the Golden Virtue Celestial Venerable, Earth Virtue Celestial Venerable, Water Virtue Celestial Venerable, Calamity-Crossing Celestial Venerable, and Divine Withering Celestial Venerable.

There are also those remnants of the Great Sun who have already revived—the Shadow Celestial, the Lord of Berserkers, and the Lord of Wind. Although they are all pseudo-Abyss beings who have not yet recovered all their true spirits and source essence cores, they are still not to be underestimated.

Lin Xi wasn't entirely confident, so he could only do his best.

She now even regrets that she didn't endure enough 'despair' in the past to regain her full strength.

32 years ago, the Despairing Celestial Venerable, with the help of her believers, possessed divine power comparable to a God-King. But now, she can at most reach god-level combat power temporarily by relying on the supreme artifact in her hand.

Lin Xi then turned her gaze to the source, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Fortunately, my elder brother's fundamental martial intent has already reached the divine level; he is now a true god! A true abyss!

※※※※

Inside the core of the small satellite, the spacetime around Lin Rui was frozen into an amber shape by the Dreamy Bubble of the Dreamy Celestial Venerable.

The Dream Celestial Venerable's invasion of Lin Rui's mind was comprehensive. His dreams, illusions, delusions, and hallucinatory concepts even covered all 90 billion federal citizens, while also bewitching their cognition, thereby affecting Lin Rui's true spirit.

For a moment, Lin Rui also had a delusion, believing that he was a part of the Dream Celestial Venerable, a physical body cultivated by the Dream Celestial Venerable, and that it was time to return to his original body.

Many of his memories also changed in that instant, belonging to the Supreme Celestial Venerable, and the spiritual imprints of the Southern Abyss and the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union were also violently agitated.

Fortunately, Lin Rui had a lot of knowledge 'backup'.

Besides his Celestial Spirit, his alien body that is still condensing the concept of Oneness within its origin, there are also the artificial celestial canopies such as the Pure One Altar and the Glorious Altar, as well as as many as one hundred and twenty Celestial Pivots of the Gods.

Most importantly, it is the mark he left in his roots.

All the gods feared the Root like a tiger, but Lin Rui had already left his primordial spirit imprint inside the Root—something that the Dream Celestial Venerable could never have imagined.

However, before Lin Rui could do anything, the Lord of Darkness's sarcastic laugh came from the void.

"Ha~!"

At this moment, the power of eternal silence and death surged like a black tide, corroding the colorful bubbles and creating countless holes.

From behind each breach emerged eerie blue tentacles, which entwined around the golden sunlight wheel of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable.

"You have crossed the line." The dark vortex that the Devouring Celestial had transformed into suddenly expanded, swallowing up a portion of the illusory bubble. His tone was filled with boundless chill: "Are you two so impatient that you consider us nothing?"

At this moment, the Lord of Destiny and the Supreme Celestial Venerable were already 'dead'. If the Great Sun Celestial Venerable hadn't attacked Lin Rui so quickly, he would have gone to those base cities to prepare for the competition for the artificial sky screen.

Of course, the situation back then was no different from now; the unfathomable Dream Celestial Venerable would still be the target of everyone's attacks!
The two gods of the Central Continent also suddenly made their move. The male white dragon's Void Bone Spear suddenly changed direction and stabbed towards the back of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable. The clock gears on the black dragon's scales rotated in reverse, turning all the illusions manifested by the Dream Celestial Venerable back into pure ethereal spiritual power.

The power of nothingness from the Western Abyss swirled around him. He waved his hands, and countless void rifts appeared before the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Dream Celestial Venerable, drawing their power into the void.

The Northern Abyss revealed its three-zhang-tall divine body, wielding an ice-blue giant sword. The single eye at the hilt gleamed with a chilling light. Instantly, boundless and endless cold currents rushed toward the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Dream Celestial Venerable at an extremely fast speed, joining forces with the two gods of the Central Continent to almost freeze the space-time around them.

At this moment, only the Eastern Abyss and the Undying Dragon Lord watched coldly from afar, remaining unmoved.

The entire body of the Dream Celestial was covered with a thin layer of ice, yet he remained standing motionless, only a smile playing on his lips, relaxed and at ease.

At this moment, the Hopeful Venerable, standing behind the Great Sun Venerable, coldly swung his blood-red longsword, and a blood-red sword light, as long as a river, surged out to meet the Void Bone Spear of the Two Gods of the Central Continent.

The blood-red blade light, imbued with slaughter and a river of blood, not only forcibly cleaved the spacetime power of the two gods of the Central Continent, but also temporarily blocked the reversed time power of the female black dragon.

Not far away, Mengli scoffed disdainfully. Wielding the 'God-Splitting Heavenly Blade,' she moved across the battlefield like a ghost. Wherever the scythe touched, the dark blue tentacles were severed. The eternal silence and death power from the Lord of Darkness dissipated almost instantly upon contact.

Ruoyin gently shook the 'Creation Lamp'. As the eerie blue flame of the burning wick flickered, the surrounding spacetime rules became completely disordered.

At this moment, not only was the conceptual power of the two gods of the Central Continent forcibly altered when it approached the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Great Sun Celestial Venerable, reducing its power to less than one-tenth, but the void rift in the Western Abyss was also affected by this power, unable to turn the power of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Dream Celestial Venerable into nothingness. Furthermore, the cold current of the Northern Abyss was simply transferred to Lin Rui's body.

"Don't forget I am the Lord of Dreams!"

The Celestial Venerable of Dreams shook his head, his eyes filled with intense killing intent: "How could I not know that you have already reached an agreement, attempting to eliminate my Dreams Celestial Venerable before the battle for the artificial sky canopy begins!"

Therefore, reclaiming the laws of destiny and seizing Lin Rui's body is the decisive move that will determine his victory or defeat.

The Dream Celestial Venerable offered to return the Great Sun Source Core as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Great Sun Celestial Venerable's alliance.

As long as the Great Sun and Hope, along with those remaining followers of the Great Sun, stand by his side, then even if all the gods join forces against him, the Dream Celestial Venerable is confident of victory.

However, before the Dream Celestial Venerable could finish speaking, he froze, staring blankly at Lin Rui.

His pupils dilated instantly, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

"This...this! Absurd—"

In that instant, the Celestial Venerable of Dreams sensed that the entire Origin World had been hit by a massive nuclear bomb, causing violent upheavals and anomalies.

The primordial space, which was originally chaotic and disordered, was now like boiling magma, surging wildly. Countless mysterious and ancient runes and threads emerged from the void. These threads, representing the power of concepts, shimmered with strange light and were forcibly unified by a mysterious and powerful force. They intertwined and collided with each other, weaving an incomparably vast yet orderly conceptual net, while emitting a deafening roar.

With the emergence of the concept web, powerful energy fluctuations spread out like surging waves, one after another. Wherever they went, space was like a shattered mirror, with countless fine cracks appearing, from which a chaotic aura seeped out.

The Celestial Venerable of Dreams was terrified, and blood vessels appeared in his eyes.

Risking being corrupted by the source, He continued to sense deeply and discovered that the three thousand Great Daos were resonating and trembling, faintly transforming into a divine pattern similar to the ancient character "元" (Yuan), which was imprinted on the core of the source.

But this scene was even more unbelievable to the Dream Celestial, who felt as if he were in a dream.

Lin Rui's concept of 'One' has a promising future, but it is also extremely profound and complex, and its difficulty is no less than that of truth! It requires the most time and energy, and it becomes more and more difficult as you go on!

How did Lin Rui manage to do that? How could he be so fast? Doesn't he need time to study the mysteries of all methods?
No! The Celestial Venerable of Dreams has already seen the conceptual net that represents the Three Thousand Great Daos, and nearly half of them have a starting point and an ending point that all return to 'One'—to Lin Rui's 'One'!
At the same time, the 'etheric' ocean near Tianji Star was also stirred up, triggering an unprecedented etheric tide. Etheric spiritual power surged like a surging tide, wave after wave rushing towards the surface of the planet, causing the entire Tianji Star to tremble.

Where the tides pass, spacetime is distorted, and light bends accordingly, presenting a strange and magnificent scene, with colorful rays of light covering the surface of the Celestial Pole.

"From this day forward, I am the Primordial One! And the Supreme One!"

As Lin Rui's divine voice reverberated throughout the entire void of Tianji Star, He Himself underwent an astonishing transformation. The nine pairs of Star River Light Wings shattered and reassembled, transforming into twelve pairs of "Root Wings" that blotted out the sky. Not only did they become wider and heavier, stretching tens of thousands of miles across the starry sky, but each wing was also condensed from pure concepts, flowing with the mysteries of "one life, all things" and "all things return to oneness," appearing as if the trajectory of the universe's stars was engraved upon them.

With a gentle flap, these wings of light unleashed boundless radiance, illuminating the entire dark battlefield. The fluctuations in their power caused even the surrounding gods to change color.

The golden sun crown on Lin Rui's head collapsed and reshaped, transforming into a three-dimensional "Yuan" character divine seal, hanging behind his head like a star, seemingly symbolizing the return of all laws to their source and the beginning of all paths!
He was surrounded by a golden halo, which was no longer as bright and brilliant as before, but was more sacred and solemn. One glance from him made people unconsciously want to bow their heads and submit. He seemed to have become the center of the universe and controlled the fate of all things!
As he raised his hand and gently clenched it, the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire and the power of purification merged, transforming into a purple-gold longsword entwined with the power of numerous concepts. Wherever the sword's edge pointed, all the concepts of gods retreated, and even the illusion of the Dream Celestial Venerable melted away like snow.

At this moment, all the gods in the hall couldn't help but gasp, their faces turning deathly pale.

This also included the Eastern Abyss, who looked at Lin Rui with a pale face.

This was because, after crossing the divine level, the first person to target him was this person, whose powerful divine power, which included holy thunder, tribulation fire, purity, immortality, the laws of destiny, and the concept of oneness, was locking him in.

At this moment, Lin Rui also conveyed an extremely domineering thought: Lord of Movement and Stillness, if you are willing to form an alliance with my Primordial Divine Court today, I will allow you to use the Limitless Method to cross the shackles of the Divine Rank; if you dare to refuse, then I will immediately take action to sever your path of cultivation, and make your ten thousand years of hard work go to waste!

Lin Rui: I'll give you three breaths. Whether to ally or fight, the decision is yours!

Dong Zhi Shen Yuan sneered inwardly. Although he couldn't understand why Lin Rui could so quickly cross the fundamental concept of godhood, while Lin Rui had his own abyssal foundation and achieved the power of 'transcendence', at the same time he would also become the target of all the gods along with the Dream Celestial!
At this point, what power did Lin Rui have left to sever his path? And what right did he have to force him to submit?

He knew that the so-called alliance was just a nice-sounding facade; in reality, he was still being held hostage by Lin Rui and forced to submit to this Lord of Light!
However, just a breath later, the Eastern Abyss's expression changed again.

He discovered that the concept of 'Wuji' could no longer be engraved into the source, and not only was he unable to condense the Wuji method, but he was even regressing.

—What exactly did this guy do at the root of the problem?
