Spellcasting Gods

Waaaaah!!

The piercing sound seemed to strike straight to the soul, causing every clone who heard it to involuntarily kneel on the ground, their whole body trembling wildly, ultimately leading to genetic collapse, with all cells rapidly dying and turning into puddles of foul-smelling gelatinous substance.

Chapter 1030 Enemies and Allies (Part 1)

weird!

Bizarre!

No theory can explain the astonishing scene unfolding before our eyes!

Even the war fortress, built with countless cutting-edge technologies, could not withstand the invisible shock and eventually disintegrated into debris floating in space.

Shortly after the massive fortress disintegrated, a brilliant white light pierced through the entire universe.

It was like a torch in the darkness, so bright and dazzling.

At the center of the white beam of light, a blurry human figure could be vaguely seen.

The moment the figure stepped out, it suddenly raised its right index finger high and pointed it sharply forward a short distance away.

moment!

Those fleets and heroes that originally belonged to the Tamon Empire all collapsed in an unbelievable way and eventually decayed and died.

No words can describe this power that is far beyond the comprehension of normal people!

Nothing can stop this force from taking effect!

To be precise, it is like some kind of objective law of the highest level in the universe, which will take effect 100% whenever it is activated.

As the area around them fell silent once more amidst the fierce battle, the Primal One lowered its head and stared at an escape pod encased in countless protective barriers. With a touch of emotion, it said, "My dear old friend, do you see? Our plan has succeeded! I am now one of the greatest life forms in the entire universe, having mastered the fundamental laws that maintain the operation of the universe."

"Yes, I saw it. How are you feeling now?" The man wearing non-prescription glasses conveyed his meaning to the other party through the instruments in the life pod.

"Feelings?" The Initiator shook his head blankly. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe my current state. I can feel that I have lost something important, and that I am bound by an invisible force to some extent."

"So... you've become part of the rules?" The man wearing non-prescription glasses keenly grasped the key point.

"That's right! From now on, I am the main string, the fundamental rule that maintains the operation of the entire universe, and I possess almost inexhaustible power. But I also need to maintain the most basic balance and can no longer destroy and annihilate as recklessly as before."

Having said that, the Initiator raised his left hand and created a vast galaxy with hundreds of thousands of stars in his palm, then looked towards a distant region that had been ravaged by war and was now barren.

In the blink of an eye, these tiny planets began to expand with hormones, eventually filling in the empty space and forming a completely new galaxy.

Without a doubt, this power far exceeds the reach of gods; it is something only a true creator could accomplish.

“I see… I think I understand…” The man wearing non-prescription glasses nodded thoughtfully. “So what do you plan to do next? Go find that guy who calls himself the emperor to get revenge, or deal with your other self first?”

"No! No rush! I have endless time now, and I can take my time to consider what to do next. Anyway, it will be a long time before he wakes up from his slumber. We can decide then whether to continue as allies or go our separate ways."

"Understood! Then I will enter hibernation mode and wait for your decision."

"That's for the best!"

……

After a brief exchange, the constantly flashing green light of the escape pod quickly turned red, and the person inside lay in a sealed container, entering a state of cryogenic hibernation.

And so, time flew by.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Cheng, standing in space, finally slowly opened his eyes and looked around with great interest.

After about three to five minutes, he chuckled and muttered to himself, "Is this the ultimate power of the universe? To merge all the rules with oneself?"

"Ah! You're finally awake!"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, the Initiator once again emerged from the pillar of light, a faint smile on his face.

"Oh? You seem to have done the same thing as me!" Zhang Cheng's eyes revealed surprise.

As a madman who had merged himself with the main theme, it was impossible for him not to sense the ability that the other party inadvertently revealed.

If I had to use a more precise term to describe it, it would be like a three-dimensional image being forcibly inserted into a two-dimensional plane.

After all, strings not only created the entire universe, but also contain the ultimate order and laws that maintain its operation.

Fundamentally, a string is equivalent to the highest dimension of the universe, belonging to a power that transcends everything.

Therefore, once the main theme is grasped, the creature will experience a strange feeling of being out of place in the entire universe.

The Initiator made no attempt to hide anything, responding frankly, "That's right! Although we used different methods, the final results were almost identical. Now, you and I are the only two survivors in the organization, and also two of the most powerful individuals in the universe. How about it, interested in sparring with me, defeating the other powerful enemies together, and bringing the entire universe under our control?"

"Is this considered an invitation?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile.

"I suppose so! In any case, teaming up with another version of yourself is much better than being alone. Don't forget, there are some old guys who have been in this field for who knows how long. Their mastery of power and rules is something that newcomers like you and me can't compare to." As he spoke, the Initiator extended his right hand.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng clearly had no intention of shaking hands with the other party, and instead asked with a sneer, "Do you think I would still choose to believe you after everything that has happened? May I ask, where are all those so-called 'brothers and sisters' in the organization?"

"They're right here!" The Initiator pointed to his chest. "A perfect fusion! Their thoughts! Their souls! Their wills! I've preserved them all perfectly! Of course, you may not agree with this method, but undeniably, the entire organization hasn't disappeared; instead, it has become more perfect and harmonious. Come, join me, and I guarantee you'll get everything you want."

"No, thank you, I have already obtained what I wanted. Next, I will achieve ultimate transcendence in my own way. Nothing can stop me! Nothing can bind me! I am free! Both in thought and soul! Also, I sincerely advise you not to do anything foolish, or I will make you understand that even beings like you and me will eventually face death..."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Zhang Cheng quickly disappeared into the omnipresent dark matter of the universe, as if he had never existed.

Chapter 1031 Enemies and Allies (Part 2)

"So, he rejected you?"

Shortly after Zhang Cheng left, the man inside the escape pod quickly awoke from his dormant state and asked with a furrowed brow.

The Initiator nodded without hesitation: "That's right! He doesn't trust me! Or rather, he never gave me even the slightest bit of trust from the beginning. He's like a cold and cunning lone wolf, never integrating into any group, and never pouring even the slightest bit of emotion into outsiders. Remember Old Chen? Normally, as the guide of the trial, that guy should have retained some feelings, but after he learned that I had devoured Old Chen's soul, he didn't show the slightest bit of anger."

"If I remember correctly, you seem to still have something in your possession, something that could have a significant impact on him. Why don't you use it to force him to join?" the bespectacled man asked bluntly.

“Yes, I will make sure to keep that thing. But the problem is, it can only be used once, and it’s not the right time yet. You should understand what I mean.” With that, the Primitive One took out a fragment of soul that radiated a brilliant light from the pillar of light.

"What a perfect fragment of a soul! I'm afraid even if you searched the entire universe, you wouldn't find a second one. I can't believe that someone like him could let a part of his soul wander outside." The man squinted and muttered to himself.

"Everyone has weaknesses! No matter how strong, indifferent, or ruthless you are, there is always a soft spot deep inside. Perhaps he himself did not realize it, which is why I was able to find a way to exploit it."

When the Initiator said these words, there was not a trace of pride on his face, as if he were describing a cause-and-effect relationship that was as simple as it could be.

"So how do you plan to use it?"

"Of course, it's for turning the tide at crucial moments. What I need to do right now is to use this unparalleled power to destroy the Tamon Empire and lure out the emperor hiding behind the scenes."

"I suggest you start with a nearby galaxy!"

"That's what I think too!"

……

While the two were talking, Zhang Cheng had already crossed dimensions and appeared in another starry sky, staring intently at the guy blocking his way.

The other party was clearly not human, at least one hundred percent not from Earth, but a mysterious creature covered in scales, with more than a dozen tentacles and a flat, round head like an onion.

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately greeted him through the telepathic connection: "Hello, newborn ruler."

"Dominator?" Zhang Cheng was clearly hearing this title for the first time, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

“Yes! Overlord! That’s the title for all those who can control the power of the main string.” The mysterious creature quickly explained.

"So you're also a ruler?" Zhang Cheng continued to ask with great interest.

“That’s right! I am also a ruler! To be precise, one of only thirty rulers remaining in the entire universe, but if you and another guy are included, there should be thirty-two.” The mysterious creature gave the answer directly.

It was clear that he had no hostility whatsoever, nor did he intend to fight or take advantage of the situation.

Zhang Cheng undoubtedly noticed this as well, and asked with a smile, "Then what brings you, Your Majesty, to suddenly block my path?"

The mysterious creature waved its dozen or so tentacles and quickly spoke through the telepathic link: "I am a messenger! I extend an invitation to you on behalf of Chaos, one of the ultimate forces in the universe! Join us and become one of us."

“Chaos? Is that the name of some organization?” Zhang Cheng keenly grasped the key word.

"Organization? No! No! No! As the highest form of life representing the entire universe!"

Nothing can bind us!

As I said, chaos is one of the ultimate forces representing the entire universe, and all rulers who recognize it will be our allies.

In addition to us, there is another representative of order and another representative of neutrality.

Before you two were born, the power of the entire universe was balanced, with each faction having ten rulers.

But now, this balance has been broken. Believe me, if you refuse our goodwill, those who value order and neutrality will definitely launch an attack on you.

Because your actions don't seem to reflect a commitment to order or neutrality.

The mysterious creature spoke with a playful and teasing tone.

As he described, Zhang Cheng's actions clearly did not fall into the category of order and neutrality, but were utter chaos. He did not care what the universe would become, nor did he care how many galaxies his actions would destroy or how many civilizations would perish.

"I need some time to think about it!" After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng did not give an immediate answer.

It goes without saying that he wasn't in a hurry to make a choice when faced with these unfamiliar fields.

On the contrary, the most important thing right now is not to join any faction, but to find a secluded place and figure out all the abilities I have acquired.

"No problem! You can contact me anytime you've figured it out. One last reminder: be careful of those law-abiding guys; they might already be plotting to get rid of you..."

As the last word echoed deep within his mind, the mysterious creature vanished into dark matter without a trace.

After confirming that he had really left, Zhang Cheng did not intend to stay in the same place and continued his journey.

As the "Dominator," one of its most powerful abilities is the ability to travel directly to any corner of the universe without going through the main string.

Once he was sure he had shaken off all pursuers, he found a relatively secluded planet, descended from the sky in human form, and smashed a giant crater hundreds of meters deep deep in the dense primeval forest.

The surrounding animals were so frightened that they scattered and fled!

"Hmm... there's an atmosphere... there's oxygen... the plants and animals are more than 50% similar to those on Earth... magical energy permeates the air... it seems there should be intelligent life living here." Zhang Cheng muttered to himself as he observed his surroundings.

However, after searching around without finding any trace of civilization, he quickly gave up the search. Instead, he snapped his fingers and built a magic tower deep in the forest. He went inside alone and began to try out the power of the rules he had mastered day and night.

It is important to understand that each main theme has a different emphasis in terms of rules, and he needs to figure out which aspect of the one he has devoured is most prominent.

Chapter 1032 "The Intruders"

At the far end of the higher-dimensional universe, there is a dark red star called Taruka, which translates to "the most distant planet."
