Chapter 481
Divine Star
The battle is over.
The realm of gods fell into a deathly silence.
All the gods stared blankly at the sky, ravaged by self-destruction and battle, their minds a complete blank.
Tang San is dead.
The Golden Dragon King also died.
The god of destruction and the goddess of life have been captured by an unknown entity.
On this day, three of the five great god-kings of the divine realm perished.
Just then.
Lu Jingming's figure slowly rose to the highest point in the divine realm.
His gaze calmly swept over every deity present.
Then, his indifferent voice resounded throughout the entire divine realm.
"The Asura God is dead. From now on, I am the sole master of this divine realm."
"Who is in favor? Who is against?"
The words fell the moment they were spoken.
Standing beside him, Huang Quan once again drew her katana, named "Wu".
A chilling, terrifying aura, capable of devouring everything and reducing everything to nothingness, instantly enveloped every deity present.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Any objections?
Yes, step forward.
As long as you can withstand Huang Quan's attack and survive, you will be qualified to speak with Lu Jingming.
The realm of gods remained deathly silent.
All the gods instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to look at the figure that exuded an aura of nothingness.
Even the five great god-kings were defeated.
What right do these ordinary first-, second-, and third-level deities have to oppose them?
Are you willing to risk your life?
Rong Nianbing sighed deeply once again.
He glanced at the gods whose faces were filled with fear and unease.
In the end, he chose to remain silent.
Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, and both saw helplessness and compromise in each other's eyes.
The situation is better than people.
I can't accept it.
Seeing that no one objected.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Jingming's lips.
With a flash, he appeared directly in front of the central hub of the God Realm, the one that represents the highest authority in the entire God Realm.
He simply reached out and gently placed his hand on the enormous sphere of light composed of countless laws and the power of faith.
Then, under the horrified gaze of all the gods.
That ball of light, which once only the five great god-kings could control, shrank rapidly like the most docile pet, eventually transforming into a small core radiating seven-colored light, which fell into his palm.
From this moment on...
The entire divine realm, from physics to laws, from the past to the present, has completely fallen under his control.
……
a few days later.
Under Lu Jingming's almost creation-like power, the divine realm has returned to its former peace, and is even more stable than before.
The power structure within the divine realm has also undergone its final reshuffling.
Led by Rong Nianbing, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan, the vast majority of the original inhabitants of the God Realm chose to swear allegiance to Lu Jingming.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor Tianhen, the Immortal Emperor Hailong, the God of Light Chang Gongwei, and others, who were already homeless outsiders, learned that Lu Jingming possessed the technology to traverse worlds and locate coordinates, and that he had promised to help them find their way home in the future.
They readily accepted Lu Jingming's offer of amnesty and agreed to join the "Pantheon," becoming a new force under Lu Jingming's command.
A brand new, unified "Great God Realm" with Lu Jingming as its sole supreme will, an unprecedented one, has thus emerged.
The war in the realm of the gods has ended.
All the gods chose to submit before the all-consuming "nothingness" katana of the Yellow Springs.
Lu Jingming stood atop the central hub of the divine realm, which he had completely analyzed and reconstructed, his divine sense flooding every corner of the divine realm like a tidal wave.
He could sense the emotions of awe, fear, or bewilderment in the hearts of each deity.
He could also sense that the foundation of this plane was on the verge of collapse after the fierce battle between the gods.
In the eyes of the old gods, the divine realm is the supreme, eternal, and immortal end.
But in Lu Jingming's eyes, it was just a resource.
"Black Tower, we can begin."
Lu Jingming's consciousness connected with the Black Tower.
"Hmph, it's finally over. What a boring farce..."
The Black Tower's voice rang directly in Lu Jingming's mind.
Immediately afterwards, the azure sky of the divine realm, which had just been repaired, was easily torn apart again by an even larger spatial rift.
A silver starship, brimming with futuristic technology and shaped like a magnificent palace, slowly emerged from the spatial rift.
At the bow of the starship, Black Tower sat with his legs crossed on a magnificent throne made of diamond stars, holding a cup of cosmic specialty coffee that exuded a peculiar aroma.
"Although it is damaged, its essence remains, and it is sufficient to be used as material."
She gazed down at the vast and boundless continent of the gods.
“Nana, start.”
Black Tower snapped his fingers.
From that enormous starship, thousands upon thousands of autonomous mechanical puppets of various shapes swarmed out like locusts.
Some of them transformed into energy emitters resembling spider webs, laying anchor points across the four corners and eight wastelands of the divine realm to stabilize spatial structures.
Some transformed into tiny, invisible nanorobots, infiltrating every node of the divine realm to begin the most basic analysis and marking.
More importantly, a spatial traction field composed of pure imaginary energy was constructed around the entire divine realm plane.
All the gods in the divine realm stared in disbelief at this scene, which was completely beyond their comprehension.
They felt that they and the world they lived in were like a patient about to be taken to the operating table.
Those mechanical puppets that exude a cold aura are actually surgeons wielding various surgical instruments.
"Rumble, rumble—"
The entire divine realm began to tremble violently.
But this tremor wasn't due to collapse, but rather... movement.
With the Black Tower's technology, which was capable of shaking reality, the entire Douluo God Realm was forcibly "pulled" out of its original spacetime coordinates.
It was like a giant ship with all its cables severed, slowly moving towards the enormous spatial rift under the pull of that invisible spatial traction field.
On the other side of the rift lies the Pantheon.
Lu Jingming's figure also returned to the main seat of the Pantheon at this moment.
He watched as the divine realm was being slowly "dragged" in, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. The Pantheon was a near-perfect demiplane, built upon his Sacred Mark Space and jointly created by Ruan Mei and Black Tower.
It possesses the most stable spatial structure, the most advanced energy circulation system, and the most complete mechanism.
But it's missing one thing.
That is, a "soul" in the truest sense.
A plane origin sufficient to support its evolution from an "inanimate object" into a "living object".
The Douluo God Realm is the final and most perfect piece of the puzzle.
"Buzz—!!!"
The moment the Douluo God Realm was completely dragged into the Pantheon.
Two planes, vastly different in size, level, and laws, began their most intense and magnificent "fusion."
The Pantheon is like a giant furnace that has been prepared in advance.
The Douluo God Realm, on the other hand, acts as a "catalyst" that is thrown into it.
The moment the Douluo God Realm came into contact with the Pantheon, it was rapidly analyzed, absorbed, and assimilated, like ice and snow melting away.
Its immense power of belief, accumulated over countless years, surged like a burst dam into the Pantheon's energy cycle system, becoming the fuel that drove the entire plane's final transformation.
All the gods standing in the Pantheon witnessed this creation-like miracle, worthy of being recorded in the annals of cosmic history.
They saw that the sky above the Pantheon was no longer that eternally unchanging dark starry sky.
The azure sky, golden sea of clouds, and sun composed of pure immortal spiritual power of the Douluo God Realm were perfectly copied and pasted over.
They saw that the ground of the Pantheon was no longer that cold, round, giant table made of black crystals.
The vast continent of the Douluo God Realm, with its undulating mountains, rushing rivers, and majestic temples filled with sacred aura, appeared one by one like a mirage, and then quickly turned from illusion into reality.
The two worlds are merging in the most perfect way, in a way that is beyond imagination.
But this is not the end.
When the integration process reaches its most critical stage.
The entire newly formed Pantheon suddenly began to expand outwards at a speed exceeding the speed of light, almost like a conceptual leap.
Its territory, in just a few breaths, has already surpassed any known plane.
Its boundary, after devouring endless imaginary energy, began to transform from "imaginary" to "real," forming an indestructible crystal wall.
Followed by.
"Boom."
A soft sound, yet seemingly resonating deep within everyone's soul, like a heartbeat, appeared.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
The heartbeat grew faster and stronger.
The sound originated from the core of this newly created, colossal plane, so vast that it defies description in any language.
There, a heart, constructed from countless laws and energies, is slowly taking shape.
And the moment when this heart is fully formed and completes its first full beat.
The entire Pantheon came to life.
It is no longer a cold demiplane built of laws and energy.
It has acquired its own life.
It evolved into one of the most advanced and rarest life forms in the universe, a form that even the original Dragon God dreamed of but ultimately failed to attain.
—God Star!
A truly living, self-aware, and unique celestial life form with a plane as its shell, laws as its flesh and blood, and stars as its heart.
"Success... A perfect life form with unlimited evolutionary potential."
The black tower's eyes gleamed with the light of a scientist.
The instrument in her hand was rapidly recording the energy fluctuations emitted by this divine star.
For her, this was much more interesting than fighting and killing.
However, just as all the gods were feeling boundless awe and reverence for the birth of this divine star.
An even more incredible miracle occurred, one that nearly brought their thoughts to a standstill.
They saw two figures slowly emerge from the core of that divine star, from its heart that radiated endless light and heat like a star.
A figure dressed in an elegant and luxurious purple kimono, holding a katana, surrounded by eternal and indestructible lightning of annihilation.
It was indeed lightning.
The other woman wore a pristine white dress and was barefoot. With each step she took, it seemed as if endless life and wisdom were being born and blossoming beneath her feet.
Her emerald green eyes were filled with compassion and gentleness, as if they could see through everything in the world and embrace everything in the world.
It is the Great Compassion Tree King.
The moment they stepped out of the heart of the planet, the will of the entire planet became intimately connected with them.
This newly born asteroid did not give birth to a completely new primordial consciousness as expected.
Because it doesn't need to.
The Pantheon was created from the very beginning based on Lu Jingming's Sacred Mark Space.
As for Raiden and the Great Compassionate Tree King, these two holy marks of Lu Jingming have been the managers of this space from the very beginning.
When the Stigmata Space is upgraded to the Pantheon.
When the Pantheon finally devoured the realm of gods, it transformed into a divine star.
As the core consciousness of this space, the two of them naturally completed their final upgrade.
Their consciousness became completely integrated with the existence of the divine star.
They became the brain and soul of the planet.
They became a higher-dimensional being, similar to "Protoss".
Every breath that the Divine Star takes is their breath.
Every inch of the planet Shenxing is their perception.
Every wisp of energy from the Divine Star is a power they can freely mobilize.
Within this divine star under their joint rule, they are the omniscient, omnipotent, and true creator gods.
Lu Jingming appeared before them, a genuine smile on his face.
"Thank you, Ah Ming."
Raiden and the Great Compassion Tree King gave Lu Jingming a sincere hug, because he had given them new life.
Lu Jingming gently stroked their soft, long hair, feeling the life force emanating from them, a life force that seemed to merge with the entire divine star.
He succeeded.
He not only created a divine star with unlimited potential.
Furthermore, it allowed Raiden Shin and the Great Kintsuki King to achieve a final rebirth in a way that was almost immortal.
From now on, as long as this divine star is not completely destroyed.
Therefore, as the spirits of the divine stars, they will never perish.
And in this world, there exists something capable of destroying a divine star that is constantly evolving and growing...
It may not have been born yet.
With every breath of the asteroid, it inhales and exhales the endless imaginary energy of the universe; with every heartbeat, it proclaims the arrival of a new era to the entire cosmos. (End of Chapter)
