supreme deity

Chapter 837 God Above Gods! (The End)
Inside the star ring, the void trembled and chaos churned.

As the Eastern Abyss trembled in shock, the gods' siege of Lin Rui was like a supernova explosion. Their immense divine power converged, and the aftershocks alone annihilated all the celestial bodies in the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers of space. Countless meteorites and ice crystals were shattered and turned into cosmic dust, drifting in the void.

The Dyson turrets, positioned towards the sun, were also unleashing devastating power under the full support and control of the Divine Mechanic Angels.

The gravity trap was operating at full speed, and the superconducting ring shone brightly. A powerful gravitational field formed and covered the battlefield, distorting space like a broken mirror. Light was also stretched and bent, forming strange light and shadow.

This gravitational force, like countless invisible giant hands, tightly gripped the gods, making their movements slow and difficult.

The Sun of Tianji Star is extremely large, about 130 million times the size of Earth's Sun. If this star were to undergo gravitational collapse, it would be enough to form an incredibly massive black hole.

Even with the enhancement of the divine power of the concept of the Divine Machine Angel, the gravity capture device of the Dyson gun group could only extract less than one billionth of the energy from the sun of the Celestial Pole Star. However, this energy was enough to form a huge gravitational field covering more than 10,000 kilometers near the star ring, at the level of a neutron star.

Just as Luo Wangshu arrived on the battlefield, Lin Rui unhesitatingly threw out the Throne of Truth that had always been with him, hurling it towards Luo Wangshu.

In that instant, Lin Rui sensed the joy and elation of the spirit of the Throne of Truth.

Before the other Supreme Being vanished, Lin Rui had been using a large amount of divine power to suppress this artifact, preventing the Throne of Truth from returning to the 'Supreme Being'.

Although the object was also resisting and restless at the time, it was not very intense.

But at this moment, when the struggle between the Supreme Beings came to a conclusion, the Throne of Truth began to tremble and struggle violently, as wild and violent as a mad tiger.

Lin Rui felt slightly annoyed. This thing had been with him for many years, and it looked down on him like that? It had no feelings for him at all.

However, when Lin Rui realized that the Throne of Truth was part of the Origin World, and that the spirit of the Throne of Truth was also part of the Origin Will, he felt relieved.

In the distance, Luo Wangshu's silver hair fluttered, and stars seemed to shimmer in her eyes.

As the Throne of Truth approached her, she gently reached out and caught the powerful artifact steadily.

The moment Luo Wangshu touched the divine throne, a powerful force surged into her body like a tidal wave, causing her to tremble slightly.

At this moment, three more pairs of dark gold wings suddenly unfolded from behind her, the divine runes of truth on the wings gleaming with a dazzling and sacred golden light.

Dark golden runes of truth spread like a tide, and twelve pairs of wings of origin stretched for thousands of miles. Each wing was engraved with the ultimate truth of the universe, and each rune seemed to be a manifestation of the truth of the universe.

"Today, I am the Supreme Celestial Venerable!"

When Luo Wangshu sat on the throne of truth and proclaimed it with a clear and majestic divine voice, her eyes revealed all-knowing wisdom, as if nothing in the world could hide from her.

Thousands upon thousands of swords of truth coalesced before her, their blades suppressing even the concepts of gods. The illusion of the Dream Celestial Venerable shattered like bubbles, and the Judgment Fire of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable was torn apart by the light of truth.

Her aura began to rise wildly, resonating with the source, as if she had become the embodiment of truth.

The surrounding space distorted, and unparalleled divine power erupted from her, causing even the gods to take notice.

Lin Rui's imposing presence surpassed Luo Wangshu's. His twelve pairs of starry wings radiated endless brilliance, while behind him, a conceptual net woven from purple and gold threads intertwined—the very embodiment of the three thousand Great Daos he had painstakingly gathered in the Origin World.

Their forces intertwine and collide, becoming an inexhaustible source of power.

Lin Rui mobilized the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Purification Method, and under the blessing of the Three Thousand Great Daos, he began an astonishing transformation.

The Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire was already incredibly powerful, but now it became even more ferocious. The flames contained the power to destroy everything, and each bolt of lightning was like a divine punishment from the depths of the universe, carrying endless majesty and power.

Thunder and fire leaped and flashed, emitting a deafening roar, as if to turn the entire world to ashes. The law of purity grew even purer, transforming into an invisible shield that tightly enveloped Lin Rui.

This shield not only protects against attacks from the gods, but also purifies all evil forces in the surrounding area. Any negative energy that attempts to approach Lin Rui will be instantly purified by the purification method and dissipate into nothingness.

"Exceeding the limit?" The silver-armored goddess sneered, and the time crystal chains around her rattled, seemingly condensing the light around Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu into crystals, even stopping and reversing its flow.

The space around the red-haired god changed drastically. With each breath he took, the surrounding space rippled, twisted, and reorganized like a boiling lake.

He spread his arms, and the void bone spears rained down on Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu. The powerful spatial force gave these bone spears the divine might to tear everything apart, but none of them could completely penetrate the invisible shield formed by the Purification Method.

What distressed the two gods of Zhongzhou was that Lin Rui's power was still growing, expanding, and strengthening. With Lin Rui's alternate body, he was integrating more conceptual powers in the Root World and weaving them into his network. His concept of 'One' would become even more powerful and unshakeable.

The Devouring Celestial has exhausted all its strength. The dark vortex that it transformed into is suspended in the vacuum. Its powerful devouring force not only tries to suck Lin Rui, Luo Wangshu and everything around them into the endless dark abyss, but also tries to absorb the gravitational and destructive beams to relieve the pressure on the gods and free up more of their strength to fight.

The Lord of Darkness remained hidden in the boundless darkness of space, seemingly inconspicuous, yet the power of eternal silence and death he released surged towards Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu like a black tide. Wherever it went, life was instantly stripped away, and everything fell into deathly silence.

This person also possesses powerful Yin and Shadow forces, which not only disrupts Lin Rui's power balance but also covers the assassination attempt on Lin Rui by the Hope Heavenly Venerable.

The clash of the gods' concepts was like a collision of galaxies, with several concepts arising and ceasing every instant. The star-destroying beams and gravitational ripples of the Dyson arsenal intertwined with the power of the gods, forming strange and enormous energy vortexes that not only tore nearby star rings to pieces but also continuously devoured everything around them, making the battlefield even more chaotic. Meanwhile, the gods' divine power was rapidly depleted in the confrontation.

The Dream Celestial Venerable's eyes revealed a sinister and unwilling look. His boundless divine power covered the void, transforming into endless illusions on one hand, attempting to alter Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu's memories and cognition; on the other hand, he used the power of dream manifestation to manifest the dream truth that belonged only to Him, and confronted Luo Wangshu head-on.

However, as Luo Wangshu's sword of truth swept across, these manifested illusions melted away like snow.

Under the divine power of the Dream Celestial Venerable, the Great Sun Celestial Venerable's prestige increased greatly. He seemed to have returned to his heyday as the Great Sun God King. He combined the two golden suns into one, transforming them into the World-Burning Judgment Fire that wrapped around his arms. He unleashed a torrent of punches towards Lin Rui's body, and wherever his fists landed, the space itself was scorched and distorted.

Lin Rui sneered as he continued to push the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire and the Purification Method beyond their limits. The twelve pairs of 'Root Wings' behind him had already spread out to a distance of 12,000 kilometers, with each wing flowing with the mysteries of "one life and all things" and "all things return to oneness".

The 10500 planet-destroying cannons, each with a temperature of trillions of degrees, continued to transform into pure spears under his power, clashing with the Great Sun Celestial Venerable. At the same time, he used the concept of 'existence' from the source to fill the void rift in the Western Abyss.

This method of 'existence' had not actually reached the divine level, but it was manipulated by Lin Rui's concept of 'one' and forcibly crossed the threshold of the divine level, confronting the Western Abyss head-on.

Yu Youyuan of the Eastern Abyss stood silently in the void, his eyes reflecting the Tai Chi symbol. His Wuji Technique had reached its critical point, but Lin Rui's suppression prevented him from taking the final step.

The battle between the two sides intensified, with each collision triggering a cosmic storm, and the scene at the beginning of the universe even appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Yu Youyuan of the Eastern Abyss remained standing quietly in place, seemingly motionless, but in reality, he was struggling intensely deep inside.

That ruthless Lord of Light continued to relentlessly slash at his spiritual imprint at the source, causing his Limitless Law to teeter on the brink of collapse.

At this moment, the divine thought of the Celestial Venerable of Dreams resounded once more: "Lord of Movement and Stillness, if you do not act now, when will you? If you help me eliminate this brat today, I am willing to offer you the position of Vice King!"

The fact that the Lord of Movement had remained motionless for so long had already caused a strong unease deep within his primordial spirit.

Yu Youyuan remained silent. He looked at Lin Rui, then at Luo Wangshu, and finally his gaze fell on the Undying Dragon Lord. The giant dragon whose horns he had once shattered was still coldly watching him, its horns tipped with holy lightning and tribulation fire.

He looked up again at the massive fleet that was approaching the battlefield.

The massive fleet of over 83,000 warships was intercepted by another massive fleet at a distance of 170,000 kilometers.

That was the fleet of the gods, lying in front of the fleet commanded by the Lord of Light.

At this point, the gods deployed almost all of their resources, sending an additional 47000 warships to the battlefield, in addition to the previous 32000.

However, the Radiant Fleet was like an unstoppable torrent, or a divine sword piercing through the darkness. Eighty-three thousand warships arrayed themselves and advanced resolutely toward the heart of the battlefield.

The sacred runes on those ships shone brightly, like stars converging into a river. Just as the two fleets approached each other by about 10,000 kilometers, all the warships simultaneously activated their 'Conceptual Macro-Force Field'—

hum!
The void trembled, and countless runes emerged from the surface of the ship, weaving together into a giant golden net covering 200,000 kilometers.

It is the ultimate technology formed by combining conceptual force field, conceptual aggregation and conceptual resonance technology, powerful enough to withstand the impact of god-level concepts.

The moment the force field unfolded, even the gravitational turbulence near the star ring was briefly suppressed.

The 'Cluster Force Field Shield' then unfolded, layer upon layer of golden shields tightly protecting the entire Light Fleet.

The shield's surface was covered with intricate patterns, each strand radiating powerful energy fluctuations—a perfect fusion of technology and divine power.

At this moment, the aftershocks of the gods' power fell on these shields, only creating ripples around them. The more than 80,000 force field shields stacked together, like an indestructible city wall, dispersed and neutralized the attacking force, protecting everything inside the fleet.

At the same time, all the star-destroying cannons on these warships entered the final charging phase, and the dark blue light from the muzzles surged, with energy converging into dazzling spheres of light, as if two hundred thousand miniature stars were being conceived in the cannon barrels.

"Star Destroyer Cannons—Prepare for salvo!"

Destructive beams of light poured forth like a galaxy, tracing countless brilliant paths through the vacuum. They were not random scattering, but rather, guided by the "Cluster Force Field Shield," formed a destructive torrent spanning the galaxy, aimed directly at the fleet of gods!
At the same time, the divine eyes of the Eastern Abyss also saw inside those warships, a full thirteen million priests of light chanting war songs in unison, the sacred hymns echoing through quantum communication:
"The sacred flame burns the sky, divine punishment descends! The light is undying, the divine might is eternal! Where my lord goes, all laws are shattered! Truth is the blade, cutting down all falsehood! Under the world, I alone reign supreme! The origin returns to its rightful place, the primordial king reigns! The war song never ceases, the divine flame never dies! The light shines forever, boundless for eternity!"

As the hymn of light resounded, the sacred fire on each warship burned even more fiercely, and the golden flames spread in the vacuum, forming a sacred sea of ​​fire spanning thousands of miles.

Countless phantom images of believers faintly emerged from the flames, their faith transforming into pure power that amplified the beam of the planet-destroying cannon, increasing its divine might by another 30%!
Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Youyuan of the Eastern Abyss's pupils slightly contracted.

At this moment, the Gods' Fleet was still resisting with all its might, but the conceptual power field of the Light Fleet, with a total of 372 longevity-level concepts, had already affected this battlefield.

The concept of the Gods' Fleet is indeed vast and powerful, with 342 types of longevity-level concepts. However, the problem is that the gods do not have a 'One' or 'Truth', and therefore cannot unify and condense these concepts.

Yu Youyuan sighed inwardly.

He had already seen the power of the Lord of Light. Although his rise to power was short-lived, he was backed by the entire Earth Federation and had the foundation of the Lord of Destiny and the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

This person may not be able to win this battle of gods, but he has enough power to cut off his path and even kill him!

At this moment, Mengli and Ruoyin, the two high priests of the Dream Celestial Venerable, were rapidly traversing the battlefield under the cover of the Dream Celestial Power.

With each swing of Mengli's "Heavenly Splitter Blade," she carried a deep-seated killing intent towards Lin Rui, tearing the space itself into dark, gaping wounds.

Her cold eyes held a mixture of intense fighting spirit and anger, as well as complex emotions that were difficult to describe.

Seven years ago, she had the opportunity to nip Lin Rui in the bud. At that time, he was just a boy who had just mastered power, and she could have ended this future threat with just a wave of her hand.

Unfortunately, the gods at the time did not realize the power of the Lord of Fate. They were more wary of the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable. Now, this being, whom she regarded as an ant, has grown into a powerful abyss that even the gods fear!
"If only I had—" A pang of regret flashed through her mind. If only she had acted decisively against the will of the gods, perhaps—

These feelings of regret then stirred up an even deeper murderous intent within her.

In her hand, the 'Heavenly Blade of Gods Rift' transformed into a jet-black stream of light. Using the concept of 'severing' in conjunction with the Celestial Venerable of Hope, it once again attempted to tear apart Lin Rui's divine body!
However, Lin Rui's Shield of Purity had already been enhanced by the will and faith of the thirteen million priests of the distant Light Fleet, reaching a new level beyond its limits. At this moment, with only a slight tremor, it deflected the scythe's edge by three points.

Mengli snorted softly, continuing to gather her strength in preparation for the next attack. Her body was being continuously strengthened and evolved under the influence of the divine artifact's evolutionary power, so every scythe she unleashed was more powerful than before.

On the other side, the "Creator Lamp" held by Priestess Ruoyin flickered, causing the rules of the entire battlefield to be constantly altered.

She used the power of 'displacement' to distort Lin Rui's lightning and fire, and the ability of 'reshaping' to interfere with Luo Wangshu's divine runes of truth. Her presence made the gods' offensive even more unpredictable, and every flicker of the lamplight added another variable to the battle.

Ten minutes ago, the Celestial Venerable of Dreams issued a divine decree to them—to sever Lin Rui's connection with the Root at all costs!

However, their all-out battle was still unable to shake Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu.

However, just as Priestess Ruoyin began to turn her gaze to the twelve pairs of Origin Wings behind Lin Rui, Ruoyin's pupils suddenly contracted, sensing an extreme ominous sign.

The Dream Celestial Venerable's thoughts had already reached out: "Be careful!"

At this moment, Yu Youyuan of the Eastern Abyss let out a long sigh, and the Tranquil Divine Bell in his hand suddenly roared.

"Boom!"

The bell tolled throughout the star ring, but it wasn't aimed at Lin Rui. Instead, it transformed into an invisible blade, directly severing the foundation of the Dream Celestial Venerable's illusionary arts! The seven-colored bubbles shattered like glass, revealing Meng Li's astonished figure.

"Yu Youyuan, you—?" Mengli's pupils shrank sharply, her heart filled with utter confusion. She instinctively raised her God-Splitting Heavenly Blade to block, but the Bell Wave from the Eastern Abyss had already arrived, slamming heavily onto the scythe, causing her tiger's mouth to split open and divine blood to splatter.

"My mind is made up; I will join the Primordial Divine Court!" Yu Youyuan's voice was icy cold, chilling all the gods to the bone: "Today, I will offer your blood as a gift to my king!"

He took a step forward, and space and time distorted beneath his feet. His right palm struck directly at Mengli's throat! This strike contained the true meaning of 'movement and stillness'. It was as fast as lightning. Mengli retreated rapidly, but her body moved as slowly as an ancient glacier.

She could only instinctively swing the 'Heavenly Split Blade' to defend herself. The blood-red gem on the scythe shone brightly, unleashing its cutting power to the extreme. However, Yu Youyuan still slammed his palm into the scythe, and Meng Li's entire body was instantly shaken to the point of being mangled and bloody.

However, under the influence of the movement and stillness technique, Mengli couldn't even retreat.

"roar--!"

At this moment, the dragon's roar shook the heavens, and the Undying Dragon Lord suddenly charged forward in the blink of an eye!

The dragon horn, wreathed in holy lightning and tribulation fire, unleashed a blinding golden light, piercing straight into Meng Li's heart like a spear of heavenly punishment. Meng Li hastily swung her scythe to block, but she was caught off guard by the dragon's tail sweeping across her wrist, striking her heavily. With a cracking sound, the God-Splitting Heavenly Blade flew out of her hand!
"Don't even think about it!" The roar of the Dream Celestial Venerable echoed through the void. If this supreme artifact were to be taken away, the tide of battle would be completely reversed!

The gods were all horrified, but the two gods of the Central Continent were the first to tear through space and retreat tens of thousands of miles away. The Northern Abyss and the Western Abyss also instantly fled tens of thousands of miles away. Only the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Devouring, the Great Sun Celestial Venerable, and the Hope Celestial Venerable were doing their best to assist the Dream Celestial Venerable in trying to stop the Undying Dragon Venerable from seizing this powerful artifact.

Ruoyin gritted her teeth and activated the Creation Lamp, causing its flames to surge in an attempt to alter the artifact's trajectory. However, it was intercepted and shattered by a single chime from the Tranquil Bell of the Eastern Abyss.

The Eastern Abyss's expression was cold, but his eyes held a hint of helplessness.

He had no choice but to submit to the Lord of Light and offer his pledge of allegiance in exchange for Lin Rui stopping him and abandoning the Wuji Method that was cutting him down from the root.

The Eastern Abyss also needs to resolve his feud with the Undying Dragon Lord.

The 'God-Splitting Heavenly Blade' in Mengli's hands was enough to appease the Undying Dragon Lord's resentment towards Him. The four concepts of the 'God-Splitting Heavenly Blade' were very suitable for this ancient god-king.

In addition, He also needs to condense the Limitless Law, advance to the Transcendent God King, and return the concept of divine power to the Undying Dragon Lord, thus settling the score.

The Undying Dragon Lord cackled. It first swallowed Meng Li's body whole, then suddenly reached out with its dragon claws and firmly grasped the God-Splitting Heavenly Blade! The scarlet blood patterns on the scythe struggled wildly, but were enveloped by layers of holy lightning and tribulation fire, emitting a mournful cry.

The gods, witnessing this scene, turned deathly pale.

The situation was now completely out of balance. Before this, although they could not stop Lin Rui from continuing to expand his power within the Root, they could still slightly outmaneuver the Lord of Light and Luo Wangshu.

However, with Yu Youyuan of the Eastern Abyss defecting and the Undying Dragon Lord obtaining the 'Heavenly Splitter', the entire battle situation has completely tilted in Lin Rui's favor.

The dark vortex formed by the Devourer suddenly contracted violently, merging with the Shadow God Body of the Dark Lord like two drops of ink.

The gods were all shocked and turned their heads to see the pitch-black energy body expanding wildly, with countless scarlet blood patterns appearing on its surface!
The shadow of the Lord of Darkness, the moon, eternal silence, the power of assimilation and death, combined with the devouring and annihilation of the Lord of Devouring, and the concept of hunger, all blend together to subtly reveal the aura of a transcendent god-king, seemingly about to engulf everything around them in endless darkness.

This scene astonished all the gods; none of them had expected that these two Abysses were one.

The face of Dong Zhiyuan turned slightly pale. He never expected that his old rival had such a trick up his sleeve. His divine power was clearly close to the edge of transcendence, yet he concocted the Devourer to paralyze the gods and the will of the origin.

The Lord of Darkness, however, kept his gaze fixed on the Undying Dragon Lord, his eyes wary and defensive.

He had long noticed something was wrong with the Undying Dragon Lord. Since the start of the God War, he had been unable to control this former ancient god-king. The various forbidden spells left behind by the Lord of Darkness also seemed to have completely failed.

But the Lord of Darkness never expected that the Eastern Abyss would turn against him and help the Undying Dragon Lord obtain the 'Heavenly Split God Blade'.

The Undying Dragon Lord also let out a soft snort, not only did the flames of battle blaze in his dragon eyes, but the veins on his dragon claws, which were tightly gripping the God-Splitting Heavenly Blade, also bulged.

In the center of the battlefield, Lin Rui's lips curled up slightly.

"One gives rise to all things, and all things return to one!"

His Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire transformed into a purple-gold longsword, carrying the brilliance of the Three Thousand Great Daos, causing spacetime to collapse and cause and effect to reverse. It not only cleaved the golden sun of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Judgment Divine Ring in two with a single sword strike, but also washed away and eliminated the seven-colored bubbles of the surrounding Dream Celestial Venerable.

At this moment, Lin Rui had already sensed the twelve satellites of Tianji Star from a distance, and the Yuan energy inside the fourteen base cities was also violently fluctuating, especially at the dock base of the ninth base city, where the energy fluctuations were like a surging tsunami.

Lin Rui's perception continued to penetrate the void, instantly locking onto the direction of the Ninth Base City.

The sky there had been torn apart by blood and purple lightning, and the entire dock base resembled a lone boat in a storm.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable and the Twin Celestial Maidens of Despair and Pain are locked in fierce combat with five priests wielding supreme divine artifacts. The devastating shockwaves have leveled an area spanning a thousand miles, and even the force field shields of the ark shelters are rippled violently, on the verge of collapse. The other base cities have also become battlefields, with numerous Longevity-level and Ninth Realm Divine Illumination cultivators clashing with each other.

Lin Rui also sensed his mother, Li Weiliang, who was hiding deep within the purgatory, concealed near the root tentacles.

That place was one that the gods feared greatly and dared not touch with their divine senses, but now they were extracting divine power from Li Weiliang without hesitation, intending to use his mother to hold him hostage.

Especially the Dream Celestial Venerable, at this moment a large number of colorful silk threads were forcibly pulled out from behind Li Weiliang, causing Li Weiliang's limbs to twitch and her pain to the extreme.

Lin Rui's purple-gold longsword, formed from the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, deflected the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable's World-Burning Golden Flames. Twelve pairs of Origin Wings unfurled in the void like a cascading galaxy, forcefully repelling the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable and his companions' fierce, storm-like attacks.

His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the chaos of the battlefield and striking the two gods of the Central Continent: "Do you two still remember the alliance I made with you three years ago? For the past three years, I, Lin, have kept the alliance faithfully, treated each other with sincerity, and never slackened in the slightest. Why have you two betrayed the alliance today, joining forces with the Dream Sun to attack your ally and committing such a treacherous act!?"

The silver-armored goddess's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

She naturally remembered the covenant, but at that time, the silver-armored goddess never expected Lin Rui to have come to this point, let alone that Lin Rui could reverse the source and attempt to become the god above gods, and was already close to success!

This is something they absolutely do not want to see.

What made her feel even worse was that after joining the battle in the Eastern Abyss, Lin Rui's alternate entity actually made a move deep within their roots, forcibly integrating their 'Universe' and 'Cosmos' techniques, aiming to make them their starting point and end point.

The red-haired god frowned deeply: "The net you've woven deep within our roots has almost completely encompassed our 'universe' and 'cosmic' laws, yet now you ask us why we've broken our alliance?"

He then let out a cold snort: "What exactly do you want, sir?"

He realized that Lin Rui must have had a reason for saying those words to them.

But when the red-haired god said those words, he realized that his tone was unusually gentle.

"Please go to the Ninth Base City immediately to help me suppress the several supreme artifacts there."

Lin Rui waved his sleeve, scattering a serene light that once again deflected Hope Celestial's killing blade. He smiled slightly and said, "If you two can protect the fourteen base cities of the Earth Federation and all its people, I will not only forgive your betrayal but also allow you to take two of the five supreme artifacts. At the same time, I will allow your true spirits to be transferred into the artificial sky! In the future, my Primordial Divine Court will also have a place for you two."

The two gods of Zhongzhou narrowed their eyes slightly and exchanged a glance.

In fact, by now, the artificial canopy is meaningless. They can transfer their true spirits to the artificial canopy to get rid of the root cause, but they cannot get rid of Lin Rui.

In the past, after their true spirits were transferred and transcended, they could use their authority in the artificial sky to control the Federation and suppress the gods.

Once they have calmly ascended to the level of true transcendent god-kings, they can either kill or take in the gods.

But even if they relocate there now, so what? Can they control the Earth Federation? Can they stop Lin Rui from continuing to expand the artificial sky canopy, or even push the Root and the Sky Canopy to expand outwards into space?

There was also the Lord of Destiny, who used 20 Sky Canopy Bases as a bargaining chip to make a divine pact with them, agreeing that the two of them would help the Lord of Destiny leave behind a chance for him to rise from the ashes at the moment of his death.

Judging from the current situation, this opportunity is of no use.

The two exchanged only a glance before transforming into two streaks of light and flying towards the Ninth Base City.

At that moment, Luo Wangshu's silver hair suddenly flew up, and his twelve pairs of Root Wings suddenly flapped, instantly traversing a vast distance and appearing in front of Priest Ruoyin.

Ruoyin was shocked and terrified. She hurriedly activated the "Creation Lamp" in an attempt to tamper with the rules of space and escape. Luo Wangshu reached out and grabbed her. The power of truth turned into invisible shackles to imprison Ruoyin. At the same time, a small sword of truth pierced through Ruoyin's chest!
Ruoyin stared wide-eyed in terror, struggling desperately. The "Creation Lamp" in her hand flickered, attempting to exchange some of her power with that of the Dream Celestial Venerable in order to escape Luo Wangshu's clutches.

However, Luo Wangshu exerted force with his palm, causing Ruoyin's body to explode instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist. As Luo Wangshu's wings flapped again, they crushed Ruoyin's remains into dust!
Luo Wangshu then grasped the "Creation Lamp," which showed no struggle in her hand, instead emitting a soft light as if submitting to its new master.

Just as Luo Wangshu held the divine weapon and looked down upon the gods with the air of a returning god-king, the Tai Chi wheel in the eyes of the Eastern Abyss turned, and the Tranquil Divine Bell rang loudly, freezing time and space and cutting off the Blood River retreat of the Hope Heavenly Venerable.

Lin Rui's purple-gold longsword struck down simultaneously, while holy lightning and tribulation fire enveloped the divine body of the Hope Celestial Venerable.

Yu Youyuan leaned forward and struck Hope Heavenly Venerable's head with a palm. Before the latter could even raise his blood-red longsword, it was shattered by the bell's shockwave. His divine body disintegrated amidst the interplay of movement and stillness, and his soul was subsequently annihilated by the power of boundless chaos.

Lin Rui waved his sleeve again, using the Pure Fire to cleanse and purify the remaining blood river, while expressionlessly watching the Northern Abyss and Western Abyss that had retreated tens of thousands of kilometers away.

"I have no grudge against either of you!" Lin Rui said, his hands behind his back and his eyebrows slightly raised. "Would you two be willing to lend me a hand in suppressing these two demon gods?"

At this moment, the Northern Abyss and the Western Abyss exchanged a glance, their expressions extremely complex.

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable felt despair, for he had sensed that these two deities had transferred their concepts of nothingness and ice onto him.

The eyes of the Dream Celestial Venerable were bloodshot. Before Luo Wangshu and the Eastern Abyss could attack him together, he abandoned his physical body and transformed into wisps of seven-colored light, flowing towards Lin Rui.

"Great Sun! Primordial Spirit—"

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable's mind sharpened, instantly realizing that the Dream Celestial Venerable was about to engage in a battle of primordial spirits with Lin Rui!

The primordial spirits of the Dream Celestial Venerable and the Lord of Destiny share the same origin, and the Lord of Destiny incorporated one-third of His soul into Lin Rui's primordial spirit!
The Lord of Fate could have used this underhanded method to replace Lin Rui's consciousness, but he was first unable to succeed due to the restraint of the Dream Celestial Venerable, and then he was powerless to shake Lin Rui's spiritual consciousness because Lin Rui had condensed the concept of a god.

But what if the Celestial Venerable of Dreams were to join forces with the Lord of Fate now?

No! That's not enough! A part of Lin Rui's primordial spirit also comes from him! So what Dream means is that we also need to add him, the Great Sun Celestial Venerable!

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable hesitated for a moment.

The battle for the primordial spirit is extremely dangerous. If he fails, both he and the Dream Celestial Venerable will lose everything.

But the Great Sun Celestial Venerable immediately realized that this might be their only chance to survive, their only opportunity to fight Lin Ruiping without facing the siege of the gods.

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable secretly mocked himself, realizing that at this critical moment of life and death, he was not as decisive as a spirit of origin.

Without hesitation, He shattered His physical body, transforming all His blood and energy into soul power and essence, while His primordial spirit transformed into a golden sun that rushed toward Lin Rui's brow.

The golden sun and seven-colored light threads were initially intercepted by Lin Rui's pure radiance and holy lightning tribulation fire, but after only a slight pause, they successively rushed into Lin Rui's body.

In the next instant, Lin Rui felt a huge storm raging in the depths of his soul.

He frowned and deliberately plunged his consciousness deep into the depths of his soul.

A moment later, a boundless ocean of consciousness suddenly unfolded before Lin Rui's eyes.

The 'Lord of Fate', who had remained silent since his concept of 'One' entered the divine realm, now stood at the center of this spiritual sea, in the middle of a huge chaotic vortex.

His black robes billowed, and countless threads of destiny were wrapped around his body. Each thread was connected to Lin Rui's memories and emotions. He stared at Lin Rui with an inscrutable and complex expression.

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable transformed into a blazing golden sun, suspended high in the sky, his judgment fire cascading down like a waterfall, scorching every inch of the soul sea: "Despicable thief!"

His voice boomed like thunder, filled with boundless anger, hatred, and resentment: "This body of yours should have been mine!!"

The Great Sun Celestial Venerable attempted to shake Lin Rui with his spiritual power and reclaim his own concept, only to discover that Lin Rui's mastery of the Great Sun's laws was now no less than his own.

The Celestial Venerable of Dreams transformed into a seven-colored nebula, constantly twisting and rearranging, conjuring up Lin Rui's past fears and obsessions. His voice was ethereal and melodious: "You and I are one, merge! Only by merging with each other can we attain eternity."

He wanted to lure Lin Rui into merging with him, or even have him devour him willingly.

This spiritual sea, which should have been as clear as a mirror, was now boiling and churning, with four figures, one real and one illusory, facing off in the distant sky, stirring up a terrifying soul storm.

Lin Rui's primordial spirit remained unmoved, and the sea of ​​soul beneath his feet suddenly solidified into a mirror-like ice field. Pure light burst forth from his body, forcibly suppressing the surging chaotic waves.

The phantoms of the Three Thousand Great Daos intertwined into a net behind him, and the twelve pairs of Root Wings also spread freely in his sea of ​​consciousness!
The clash of four divine powers caused a colossal wave to surge through the sea of ​​souls. Fragments of memories flew through the storm, and the chains of fate crumbled inch by inch. This was a war that transcended time and space—the victor would rule all, and the loser would be condemned to eternal damnation.

As time went by, the golden radiance of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable became increasingly dazzling.

This is not because his divine power is stronger and more vast, but because Lin Rui is evaporating his primordial spirit in reverse!

His fiery judgment flickered wildly as he roared at the Lord of Fate: "Are you still just standing there watching? Let's join forces and deal with this brat first, then we can talk about other things! He's almost taken control of the Root. If he succeeds, neither of us will ever recover! If we don't join forces to eliminate him now, when will we?"

While confronting Lin Rui, the Celestial Venerable of Dreams silently eroded the mind of the Lord of Fate with the power of dreams. He coaxed him gently, saying, "Lord of Fate, back then you poured three parts of your true spirit into his body to refine this brat into a vessel for your resurrection. Now is the time for you to reclaim your true spirit and your physical body. Both I and the Great Sun can help you! I can let you take his soul and his body first, and then you can compete with me."

The Lord of Fate did not respond immediately, but merely chuckled inwardly.

He had nearly brought the gods to eternal damnation in the past, a fact that had haunted him for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, was he to join forces with these two great enemies of the gods?

His gaze drifted into the distance, his mind wandering through his long and eventful life.

He recalled the painful experience of being corrupted by the Root Spirit in ancient times—a nightmare that caused him to lose himself and fall into endless struggle.

Later, he was separated by the Supreme Celestial Venerable and cast to Earth, where he suffered from guilt and self-reproach for tens of thousands of years.

750 years ago, he reunited his true spirit and awoke once more. He painstakingly planned and schemed against the gods and the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable, but failed due to various unexpected events.

His gaze then fell upon Luo Wangshu, who was sitting high on the throne of truth, outside Lin Rui's soul sea.

At this moment, Luo Wangshu's silver hair flowed freely, and he radiated the light of truth, just like the Supreme Celestial Venerable reborn—no! He is the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

The Lord of Fate felt a mix of emotions and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He suddenly realized that when the Supreme Celestial Venerable threw him to Earth 32 years ago, the person she truly hoped for and was truly waiting for was not the master of her destiny!
However, in a way, he had fulfilled the mission given to him by the Supreme Celestial Venerable. And Lin Rui, whose soul core also contained a part of his own soul—losing to 'himself' seemed acceptable?
"Ridiculous!" The Lord of Fate spoke slowly, his voice tinged with weariness: "I call myself the Lord of Fate, yet my entire life has been manipulated by fate. I'm tired!"

The threads of fate surrounding him suddenly began to disintegrate, then transformed into streams of light that surged toward Lin Rui like rivers flowing into the sea, merging entirely into Lin Rui's primordial spirit.

The figure of the Lord of Fate gradually blurred. He stood still, his gaze deep as he looked at Lin Rui, who was absorbing the threads with his eyes closed: "Your Excellency, the Root is both a shackle and a ladder. I hope that Your Excellency can truly take control of your own destiny!"

In the external reality, Luo Wangshu seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look at the still Lin Rui. The primal fire in her silver hair suddenly surged, and the Throne of Truth shone with a radiance that pierced through the galaxy.

"Little Rui Rui—" she murmured softly, completely letting go of her worries. At the same time, all twelve pairs of wings spread out, trapping the Lord of Darkness who was trying to escape in place.

At this moment, both the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Lord of Dreams were terrified and panicked, their souls twisted in fear.

In a short while, Lin Rui slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he was not only the Lord of Light, but also the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and a brand new being who had integrated all the memories and insights of the Lord of Fate!

“It’s over, Dream.” He said calmly, and with a wave of his hand, his entire mental universe began to collapse: “This is my world!”

The golden sun that the Great Sun Celestial Venerable had transformed into swelled wildly in shock and rage. The fire of judgment attempted to burn through this spiritual world and escape from it, but he saw Lin Rui raise his hand and clench his fist. The purple-gold giant net woven from the three thousand Great Daos suddenly contracted, wrapping the golden sun layer by layer.

"No—!" The roar of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable shook the soul sea. Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the golden sun, and the blazing light was forcibly squeezed into flowing fire, which finally fell into Lin Rui's palm and was completely devoured by him.

The seven-colored nebula of the Dream Celestial Venerable surged violently, conjuring countless of Lin Rui's past fears and obsessions—the pain of his mother Li Weiliang, the despair of his near-death experience as a child, the brutal battles with the gods—attempting to shake his mind. However, Lin Rui's eyes remained icy, and a pure fire ignited from the depths of his soul, melting away the illusions wherever it passed.

"Your dream is nothing but illusion." He took a step forward, and the sea of ​​soul beneath his feet condensed into a mirror, reflecting the distorted face of the Dream Celestial Venerable. The twelve pairs of Root Wings suddenly closed, completely crushing the Seven-Colored Nebula!

-

In the real world, the static battlefield suddenly trembled.

Lin Rui opened the True Heavenly Eye between his brows, and the purple-gold divine light in his eyes pierced through the starry river.

His body floated in the void, his twelve pairs of Root Wings spread out like clouds hanging from the sky, each feather flowing with the profound patterns of "one life and all things". Holy lightning and tribulation fire transformed into a blazing white divine ring that wrapped around his body, and the law of purity condensed into billions of crystal light points that flowed endlessly around him!

"My name is Yuanshi." His voice was not loud, but it was like the first thunder at the beginning of the universe, echoing in every inch of space. "From this day forward, the origin returns to its rightful place, and all laws submit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the center of the battlefield suddenly collapsed into a singularity like a black hole, and then exploded with a roar! In the endless divine light, Lin Rui's figure reappeared, and behind him emerged the Golden Sun Divine Wheel of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Seven-Colored Clouds of the Dream Celestial Venerable—these were the two supreme divine powers that he had devoured, and now they had been completely transformed into his own!

At this moment, the gods were horrified and terrified.

The pitch-black energy form of the Lord of Darkness trembled violently, its crimson blood patterns flickering erratically. It tried to escape into the shadows, only to find that the surrounding space had already been sealed off by the divine runes of truth. The Northern Abyss and the Western Abyss exchanged a glance, and simultaneously knelt on one knee. The power of ice and nothingness flowed into Lin Rui's purple-gold network like a river of submission.

"We pay our respects to the Primordial Celestial Venerable!" The voice of the Western Abyss was hoarse, but there was no longer any intention to resist.

On the fleet battlefield, the battle song of light resounded throughout the universe! The star-destroying cannons of 80,000 warships turned in unison, their muzzles aimed at the remaining fleet of gods. Outside the golden force field shield, the shadow of the Lord of Darkness receded like a tide, and the vortex of the Lord of Devouring silently collapsed.

Meanwhile, on the Capital battleship, at the Presidential Palace of the Earth Federation.

On the giant light screen in the combat command center, the scene of Lin Rui devouring the two gods and suppressing all the gods was clearly displayed. The originally noisy command platform suddenly fell silent. All the politicians, high-ranking officials and financial tycoons, including the president, stared wide-eyed and almost stopped breathing.

"This—this is a power that humans can possess?" A senator in a suit dropped the data panel he was holding and slammed it to the ground, his voice trembling.

The president took a deep breath, then suddenly stood up, his body trembling slightly with excitement: "Order! All Ark shelters to de-escalate and activate the 'Dawn Protocol'—our God has won!"

Cheers erupted like a tsunami; people embraced and wept; some knelt in prayer; others frantically typed on virtual keyboards to broadcast the good news to the entire galaxy.

In the corner, Fang Ranran gazed silently at Lin Rui's figure on the screen, her fingertips lightly touching the screen as if to caress his godlike silhouette. A slight smile played on her lips, but tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Finally—this day has come." She murmured softly, the metal box she had been clutching tightly in her sleeve slipping out quietly.

—That was the first gift Lin Rui gave her six years ago. It was the MVP ring awarded to Lin Rui by the Martial Arts Association after winning the university martial arts league, and it was also her spiritual sustenance.

At the Ninth Base Urban Wharf Base, Lin Xi and Lin Yi—the twin celestial maidens who had once been entangled in despair and pain—stared blankly at the god-like and demonic figure in the starry sky.

Lin Rui's oppressive aura swept across the universe, causing the gods to submit and the origins to return to their rightful place. Meanwhile, their hearts pounded wildly, as if they were about to burst from their chests.

"He... he really did it!" Lin Yi's voice trembled slightly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes. Her eyes reflected the twelve pairs of Root Wings behind Lin Rui, their dazzling light seemingly able to dispel all the gloom in the world.

Lin Xi's breathing was rapid, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was blocked by some surging emotion.

Her predecessor had experienced countless despairs and witnessed the fall of many gods and countless mortals, but at this moment, for the first time, she felt a kind of hope that was almost absurd and almost crazy.

“No pain—no despair—” she whispered, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible, but Lin Yi suddenly turned to look at her, her eyes burning with the same intense light.

They were once the embodiment of 'despair' and 'pain', bound by their roots and toyed with by fate. But now, Lin Rui has shattered all those shackles with absolute power!
He devoured the sun, crushed dreams, and even the very source trembled under his will.

"Are we... free?" Lin Yi suddenly laughed, her laughter tinged with disbelief and a sob.

“No, it’s not just about freedom.” Lin Xi’s voice grew firmer as she looked up at the starry sky, her expression filled with almost fanatical anticipation. “It’s a new era—our era!”

They all recalled what Lin Rui had once told them—

“If the root cause can be reshaped, then pain and despair can also be erased.”

At the time, they thought it was just wishful thinking, but now—

"My brother will change everything," Lin Yi murmured.

“I also think he will make this world—no longer have beings like us, and no more demons and monsters.” Lin Xi continued her words, a smile that she had never seen before, almost radiant, appeared on her lips.

Behind them, the light of the battlefield gradually subsided, the fleet of the gods collapsed in the hymn of light, while Lin Rui's figure burned eternally like a star.

They knew that from this moment on—

On the Celestial Pole, suffering will no longer be fate, and despair will no longer be a curse.

Even their fathers may reunite with their true spirits and return from the heavens.

And they can finally relax and freely look forward to and shape the future!
