Chapter 482
The True Star God
And it was at this moment that the divine star completed its final transformation and acknowledged Lu Jingming as its sole creator.
The feedback from the divine star has begun.
It's as if the world is thanking the god who created it.
Strands and bundles of chaotic energy, born at the beginning of the Big Bang, dormant for billions of epochs, and now only barely extractable by blasting open black holes, were condensed out of thin air from the deepest part of the universe.
They no longer followed any physical laws, but as if summoned, they transcended the barriers of space and dimensions, and merged into Lu Jingming's body in a mighty torrent.
In that instant, Lu Jingming's body seemed to transform into a singularity capable of containing the entire universe.
His divine body was radiant.
It wasn't the kind of dazzling, energy-filled light.
Rather, it is a gentle radiance, seemingly encompassing all things, originating from the truth itself.
As this immense energy, powerful enough to reshape a world, surged in, an ultimate fusion began in the deepest recesses of his soul.
Within him, those once distinct and independent powerful forces seemed to hear the command from "reality."
That represents eternity and annihilation – “lightning”.
That represents "life" as wisdom and creation.
That represents decay and the end – “decay”.
That represents "eternity" as a cycle and order.
That represents "annihilation" and "rebirth".
That represents "creation," the origin of all things.
Any one of these, if taken individually, would be enough to elevate a god to the realm of a god-king. At this moment, they have all transformed into the purest ribbons of law light, actively converging towards the very core of his soul.
That place is the foundation of all his power, and the proof of who he is.
—The authority of “truth”.
If other authorities are like the most fascinating chapters in the book of the universe...
So, "truth" is what determines whether this book is a real entity or a purely fictional, unique imprint.
The integration has begun.
It was a quiet, yet incredibly grand, "sublimation".
Lightning, having merged with "reality," meant that from then on, all forms of energy in the world became realities that he could define at will.
Life and wisdom were integrated into "truth," and from then on, the birth and death of all souls, and the transmission and storage of all information, became truths that he could write at will.
Decay and destruction were incorporated into "reality." From then on, the entropy increase and annihilation of all matter, the end and return to nothingness of all concepts, all became realities that he could set at will.
All the powers have lost their original names; they have all become insignificant branches under the supreme concept of reality.
At this moment, Lu Jingming finally understood.
A flash of unprecedented understanding crossed his eyes.
"I see……"
He spoke softly, muttering to himself.
"Truth is existence."
The moment those six words were uttered from his mouth.
The entire universe fell silent.
An invisible yet omnipresent conceptual ripple, centered on Lu Jingming, spread outwards from the entire universe and the endless, ever-changing parallel worlds, like bubbles, at a speed that transcends light, time, and causality.
From this moment on...
The reality of this universe, and all the parallel worlds connected to it, has been redefined.
What is "truth"?
What Lu Jingming acknowledges is "truth".
What is "fake"?
What Lu Jingming denies is "fake".
Lu Jingming's divine power began to rise wildly in a geometric progression that could not be measured by any numbers.
God-King, Supreme God-King?
In his perception, that realm was as fragile as a soap bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.
He easily surpassed it.
Moreover, they arrived at a supreme and unique new realm that even the creator god could not reach.
—The Realm of Transcendence.
This is not a realm that can be reached through cultivation or by inheriting a divine position.
This is the only title a living being can receive when its existence transcends the reality of the entire universe.
At the moment of ascending to this transcendent realm.
Lu Jingming's perception, or rather, his very existence, has become one with the entire universe.
He no longer needs to use his eyes to see or his divine sense to explore.
Because every corner of the universe is actively revealing all its secrets to him.
He "saw" it.
In a dark star field shrouded in an ominous crimson light, several star systems away from the planet God, a plane composed of pure devouring desire and obsessive desire for destruction is slowly writhing.
He saw the core of that plane, the one who wore a blood-red dress, possessed unparalleled beauty, but whose eyes held only greed and madness—the Crimson Mother.
He saw it too.
In another plane called "Throne of the Gods," the terrifying "God of Divine Retribution"—Austin Griffin—is roaring.
He even saw the "past".
The river of time ceased to flow before him; it became a ceaseless, one-way river.
It became a thick history book that he could freely flip through.
He witnessed how that once invincible dragon god rose to power and fell.
He even set his sights on the very beginning of time, which is even more ancient than the Dragon God.
There, he "saw" the original creator god who created the entire universe.
He saw the Creator God create this universe from chaos, then merge into the universe, becoming the basic operating rules of the universe.
It was as if its sole purpose was to ignite the first campfire that became known as the universe.
And after "seeing" all of this.
Lu Jingming slowly withdrew his gaze.
A smile of interest appeared on his face.
"Since 'truth' can be defined..."
"Then this universe seems a bit too monotonous."
He slowly extended his hand.
"In the name of me, the true star god."
"I will anchor myself to all the imaginary energy in this universe."
"The concept of reality is manifested here."
His voice echoed throughout the entire universe.
next moment.
The entire universe began to expand wildly in an unprecedented manner.
Countless new planes of existence emerged from the surging sea of imaginary numbers, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Countless dimensions transformed from falsehood into reality.
A blue plane, more than 90 percent of which was covered by an endless ocean, was born.
There, a peculiar treasure called "Devil Fruit" grants people all sorts of bizarre and extraordinary abilities.
A kind of power called "dominance," which originates from the spirit and will, has become the ultimate standard for measuring whether someone is strong or not.
A plane filled with Eastern aesthetics and a somewhat oppressive atmosphere was born. There, man-eating monsters known as "demons" roamed freely in the darkness.
Meanwhile, a group of powerful swordsmen who have mastered the "breathing technique" are engaged in an endless and tragic battle against evil spirits in order to protect humanity.
A plane with a "chakra" energy system and various powerful ninjutsu was born.
One, possessing spirit particles and a Zanpakuto, possessing both the human world and the Soul Society, was born.
A plane, possessing "Qi" and "extraordinary people," and inheriting ancient Taoist culture, was born.
A plane was born, rooted in "love" and based on "fate," where humans and demons could sign a "reincarnation and continuation of fate" contract.
Naruto, Bleach, Under One Person, Fox Spirit Matchmaker...
Wait, wait...
Countless worlds that once existed only in Lu Jingming's memory, only in his "fantasy," were given real "existence" at this moment.
They did not originally belong to this universe.
However, because of the birth of the true Star God.
Because of Lu Jingming's single thought.
And so they came into being.
When that endless "truth" was anchored, and when the vast universe gave birth to countless brilliant civilizations and worlds because of his single thought, Lu Jingming, the newly crowned "God of Truth," slowly withdrew his gaze, which was enough to cover the entire multiverse.
An endless galaxy appeared and disappeared in his eyes.
The supreme authority gathered and took shape at his fingertips.
He is no longer the person he used to be.
His existence is itself the highest and only "truth" in this universe.
However, after experiencing that supreme and solitary feeling that could intoxicate and bewitch any living being, he restrained his power.
With a flash, he traversed the endless sea of stars.
Douluo Star.
Haiyuan City.
When Lu Jingming's figure appeared silently in that quiet room filled with a familiar aura, the supreme divine power that was enough to crush eternity and reshape the universe had been completely subdued.
He looked exactly the same as before he left.
He still had that handsome face, and he was still wearing that simple black trench coat.
He simply stood quietly by the window, gazing at the familiar, vibrant scenery outside, feeling the gentle breeze that brushed against his cheek, carrying a hint of the scent of grass.
That feeling was so real.
It is even more real than the countless “real” worlds he just created.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
"Clap."
With a soft sound, a ripple of space spread out in front of him.
The next moment, Hei Ta and Ruan Mei walked out of the ripple one after the other.
The moment Lu Jingming ascended to the highest level and achieved the title of "True Star God".
As beings who were also summoned from fantasy by him with the authority of "truth," they were the first and clearest to perceive this transformation, apart from Lu Jingming himself.
At that moment, they felt that the "foundation" of their existence had been infinitely elevated.
Strictly speaking, their "existence" is not fundamentally different from those "fantasy planes" that have just been born in the universe.
They all exist because of Lu Jingming's "authenticity".
"Quick! Let me see, let me study you, what kind of life form are you in right now?!"
Almost the instant the Black Tower appeared, it charged forward.
She grabbed Lu Jingming's hand immediately, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.
Although Ruan Mei did not take direct action like Hei Ta, she slowly walked to Lu Jingming's other side.
She didn't speak, but instead scrutinized Lu Jingming inch by inch with her beautiful eyes.
That gaze was so focused, so fervent.
That's not the look that lovers should have in their eyes.
That look was more like the gaze of a top biologist, filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, when faced with a unique and perfect experimental sample that she had dreamed of for countless ages.
"Cough cough..."
Caught between these two "aggressive" gazes, Lu Jingming felt his newly acquired aura of superiority vanish instantly.
He coughed lightly twice, feigning authority, then smiled at Black Tower in what he thought was a very authoritative tone:
"Black Tower, I'm stronger than you now, shouldn't you show me a little more respect?"
Upon hearing this, Black Tower paused slightly.
She raised her head and looked Lu Jingming up and down.
Then, she suddenly laughed.
She released her grip on Lu Jingming's hand.
"cut."
She crossed her arms and looked at Lu Jingming with a leisurely and amused gaze, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
"You should show respect, right?"
She deliberately dragged out her words.
"Alright, tell me, how do I need to respect you? Or rather, what do I need to do for you to obediently let me study this?"
"I can agree to anything you want."
"I can pose in any position."
Lu Jingming: "..."
Black Tower knows him too well.
She knew what this man was thinking.
It's nothing more than taking advantage of her current "stronger" status to make some of those embarrassing "small requests" that she and Ruan Meiyi had previously firmly rejected.
For the Black Tower, the so-called "face" and "reserve" are worthless in the face of knowledge.
not to mention……
Lu Jingming is her man.
She didn't think there was anything she couldn't do to meet her man's demands.
Looking at Heita's smug expression, as if he had seen through everything and was fully prepared, Lu Jingming fell silent.
He glanced at Ruan Mei, who had remained silent throughout, but whose gaze had never left him.
Then, he turned his gaze back to the black tower in front of him.
A hopeful smile appeared on his face.
"Then... I think you and Aruan should go together."
As for what to do together...
He didn't say.
But all three people present knew the truth.
Hearing this expected answer, Black Tower simply curled his lip in disdain.
"Tch, I knew it."
She gave Lu Jingming a sidelong glance, as if she had known. (End of Chapter)
