From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 631 A New Sage, A New Heavenly Emperor (The Finale)

Deep within the realm of stars lies the chaotic origin beyond all concepts of time and space.

Here there is no light, no darkness, no order, not even the boundary between "existence" and "non-existence." Only the eternal, maddening sound of a blasphemous flute, and the twisting, writhing shadows of countless invisible dancers. At the very center of this chaos, a colossal, indescribably vast, constantly churning, expanding, and contracting core of darkness emanates an ultimate pressure that makes all the heavens and myriad realms tremble.

The primordial source of chaos—Azathoth!
It has no wisdom, no consciousness, only pure instinct and endless chaotic desires. It is the origin of the stars and the ultimate symbol of all chaos and madness. Even the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones are mostly just offspring or servants born under the influence of its unconsciously emanating power.

When the golden torrent of the Heavenly Court swept into the Star Realm, when the "ghosts" of the resurrected world began to erode the polluted lands, and when "Yog-Sothoth," who had been replaced by the Lord of the Underworld, no longer answered the call, this eternal chaos was finally thoroughly enraged.

"Woo——!!!"

A howl, indescribable by any mortal melody and imbued with the ultimate chaos and destructive will, suddenly erupted from the dark source core! Wherever the howl passed, the boundary between reality and illusion completely collapsed, and the laws were reduced to the most basic chaotic particles. Several Grand Luo commanders who had charged too far ahead, along with their golden heavenly soldiers, were annihilated and turned into nothingness before they could even utter a scream!

The onslaught of the golden torrent was momentarily halted!
At that moment, the image of Yog-Sothoth, which originally represented the "One Who Represents All Things" and exuded an aura of omniscience and omnipotence, suddenly changed. Countless shimmering spheres contracted and condensed, and the indifferent will was replaced by a more profound, more ancient, and seemingly authoritative majesty that held the power of the end and reincarnation of all things.

He's awake!
Then, it got stuck!

The stars are terrifying, but in a sense, destroying them isn't that difficult.

Just wake Azathoth up.

In the established lore, all the gods are products of Azathoth's dream, just like Brahma. Once Azathoth awakens, the dream collapses, everything returns to nothingness, and all those Outer Gods, Old Gods, and Ancient Gods are dealt with.

In fact, this is why the Cthulhu Mythos is so chaotic and disordered. Dreams themselves have no logic, and the method sounds good.

But it's not easy to actually do it.

To achieve this, after the first calamity of the stars, the Heavenly Court devised a plan targeting the stars.

The Lord of the Underworld seized a large number of monsters, including one of the Three Pillar Gods, and analyzed them. The Heavenly Court cooperated with the Underworld, using its resources and the results of the Lord of the Underworld's analysis, and using a special place in the Underworld, to construct a world of five turbid evils, which evolved a power system to restrain the stars. Erlang Shen sacrificed himself to enter the calamity and unify the world of five turbid evils. Subsequently, the Lord of the Underworld completed the assimilation of the One Who Unifies All Things.

In this attack, the assimilation of the pollution of the Star World by the "ghosts" of the Five Turbid World is equivalent to rewriting the underlying code of the entire world. Under such circumstances, it would inevitably disturb the sleeping Azathoth, causing him to slowly awaken and format the entire world. In theory, this formatting should have been a smooth process, but unfortunately, the Lord of the Underworld had already seized the position of Yog, the One Who Unifies All Things, and become the new One Who Unifies All Things. Azathoth's awakening was thus stalled.

The formatting process got stuck on a major bug that doesn't exist in this system!

The Lord of the Underworld reveals himself here!
A pale, white finger was drawn from the void, stretching across the starry river...

At the fingertips, there was no radiance, no energy fluctuation, only a pure judgment...

The determination of life and death, the determination of order and chaos, the determination of existence and nothingness!
This point seems to have drawn a clear line in the endless chaos and darkness!

"Buzz!"

Azathoth's massive, churning primordial core trembled violently, its howls growing even more ferocious and chaotic. Countless chaotic tentacles, twisted mouthparts, and indescribable organs emerged from the core, frantically pounding and tearing at the invisible boundary, attempting to reintegrate it into chaos. However, the very existence of the finger of the Lord of the Underworld acted as an anchor, firmly fixing the foundation of "order" in this region. No matter how frantically Azathoth attacked, the boundary remained unyielding, and instead began to erode the chaos in reverse!

At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West seized the opportunity in the Immortal Realm, let out a clear shout, and suddenly relaxed the suppression of the Gate of Immortality. Instead, she poured most of her power into the boundary within the body of the Lord of the Underworld!
With the full support of the Queen Mother of the West, a top-tier quasi-saint, the boundary suddenly brightened, transforming into a dazzling band of light that stretched across the entire Chaos Origin Core!
"Sizzle—!"

The sound was like the tearing of cloth, echoing throughout the heavens and the myriad realms!
Under the cutting force of that band of light, Azathoth's seemingly indestructible chaotic core was forcibly torn open, leaving a huge, irreparable gap!

"Ow!!!"

The primordial chaos let out the most painful and frenzied roar in history. Endless chaotic matter and mad will surged out from the gap, but were blocked, purified and annihilated by the band of light!
Its power is rapidly fading, and its essence is being shaken!

Bai Xi's fingers trembled slightly, and a phantom book, seemingly composed of records of countless worlds' cycles of life and death, appeared above her fingertips...

As the book was opened, endless rules of death and the power of reincarnation transformed into jet-black chains that pierced deep into the core of Azathoth through the torn opening!
The chains tightened, and a burst of light erupted.

Under the combined attack from within and without, Azathoth's massive chaotic core finally succumbed, letting out a final, unwilling cry before collapsing with a deafening roar!

Like a supernova explosion, but a storm of energy billions of times more terrifying swept across the entire stellar realm. The remaining Outer Gods and Great Old Ones were swept away like dust in this storm. Those corrupted worlds, under the erosion of the terrifying resurgence of the "ghost" rules and the purification of the Heavenly Court's golden army, rapidly shed their darkness, and their underlying rules were forcibly rewritten and reshaped.

With the collapse of Azathoth, the gate to immortality in the Celestial Realm, which had been suppressed for so long, seemed to lose its last support, its brilliance dimmed completely, and it became ancient and unadorned.

With a wave of her hand, the enormous portal rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a fragment that was neither gold nor jade, but flowed with the afterimages of the Three Thousand Great Daos. It fell into her palm and was none other than the long-lost fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation!

She glanced at the shattered immortal realm, then looked at the golden army that was beginning to establish order and spread the glory of the heavens amidst the ruins of the stars. Suddenly, her aura surged up, and her "Dao" instantly filled the entire world of immortality, including the immortal realm and all the myriad worlds below it!

This is the opportunity for her to become a saint!
In the lower realm, Li Chengqian sensed the aura permeating all the heavens and myriad worlds, and his lips twitched.

The Heavenly Court will give birth to its first Primordial Golden Immortal!
A new saint!
And this world of immortality will become the celestial abode of this saint.

A flood of information surged through my mind once again.

He smiled and walked out of the Feathered Heaven Palace.

Fang Qingxue was already waiting outside the door. When she saw him come out, she went to greet him.

"Is it over?" she asked softly. Although she didn't know the specifics, she could sense that the suffocating oppression in the world had dissipated, replaced by a vibrant and revitalized atmosphere.

“It’s over.” Li Chengqian grasped her hand and smiled. “A new era has begun, and I will become the Heavenly Emperor of this world.”
