Chapter 321: The Supreme God
Chapter 321: The Supreme God (End of Chapter)
In the Grand Hall of Dragon Mountain, Lin Yuan was immersed in comprehending the spatial essence within his demigod realm.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"Is someone spying on me?"
A subtle sense of being watched flitted through Lin Yuan's mind. Just then, a faint yet alarming sensation of being observed through time crept over him.
This feeling of being spied upon was not a spatial observation but a temporal one.
If Lin Yuan hadn't deeply grasped the rules of time over the years, he probably wouldn't have sensed anything amiss.
Even ninth-tier or tenth-tier lives would find it extremely challenging to possess any countermeasures in the domain of time.
In simpler terms, a being was traveling against the river of time, attempting to uncover Lin Yuan's true origins.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan sank his consciousness into his mind, where the majestic Gate of Myriad Worlds stood. A negligible amount of backlash effortlessly emanated from this projection of the Gate.
"Someone sensed a trace of the Gate of Myriad Worlds and was met with backlash?" Lin Yuan's expression turned peculiar.
The Gate of Myriad Worlds was something Lin Yuan hadn't fully comprehended yet, but he was certain it far surpassed the level of twelfth-tier supreme beings.
While supreme beings were limited in their ability to transcend dimensions, the Gate of Myriad Worlds could effortlessly achieve this, as simple as eating and drinking.
Such an existence had long possessed the characteristics of 'unviewable' and 'unobservable', akin to a blazing sun perpetually radiating energy.
Any life with insufficient strength daring to gaze upon or spy on it would suffer terrifying backlash, regardless of the distance or dimensional barriers between them.
And this was merely a projection of the Gate; the concept of observing the true Gate of Myriad Worlds was inconceivable, for its mere presence would cause everything in this world to crumble.
Neither Lin Yuan nor this world could bear the burden of the Gate's true body.
"Could it be the main god of the Ocean of Light or the main god of the Abyss of Darkness?" Lin Yuan wondered, gazing up at the sky.
The stars, symbolizing the gods, hung eternally in the sky. One of the twenty-four largest stars, representing the main gods, began to exhibit violent fluctuations, as if it were about to fall.
"The God of Divination?" Lin Yuan observed carefully and drew a conclusion.
The countless stars suspended in the sky corresponded to true gods, especially the twenty-four largest stars, which represented the divine nations of the main gods.
As soon as the backlash from the Gate of Myriad Worlds reached out, a divine nation of a main god began to tremble, and Lin Yuan was almost certain that it was this god who had spied on him through time.
"But there's actually a main god who masters the attribute of time," Lin Yuan thought, his heart stirring with excitement.
While the rules of time and space were both considered fundamental pillars, the difficulty of comprehending the rules of time far surpassed that of space.
In this world, the godhood of demigods, true gods, and even main gods served as 'keys' to unlocking the essence of the rules.
For example, a demigod with a spatial attribute allowed Lin Yuan to perceive the true spatial essence of this world, bringing unimaginable benefits to his understanding of spatial layers.
What about a godhood or main godhood with a temporal attribute?
"It depends on the level of temporal essence contained within that time main god's godhood," Lin Yuan mused silently.
If the level of temporal essence was too high, Lin Yuan would be in a tricky situation, as it implied that the time main god possessed advanced control over the rules of time. For instance, their true body could travel against the flow of time and hide in the past.
In such a case, even if Lin Yuan possessed absolute strength, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
However, the probability of this was low. For a true body to travel against the flow of time, one would need to have a thorough understanding of the complete rules of time. If the time main god had such power, their act of spying on Lin Yuan through time would have gone unnoticed.
Up to this point, Lin Yuan's comprehension of the rules of time was merely at a beginner's level, far from reaching even a small realm.
"I hope the backlash wasn't fatal," Lin Yuan thought, observing the massive star in the sky carefully.
Knowing that the other party possessed the rare temporal attribute, Lin Yuan couldn't help but worry about their safety.
Ocean of Light.
Before the Temple.
The gods were eagerly awaiting the God of Divination, hoping to uncover the origins of the Dragon Mountain Chieftain with the help of this powerful main god.
However, the scene that unfolded next caused the expressions of the true gods to change drastically.
The once unfathomable God of Divination suddenly exhibited chaotic fluctuations in their aura, which continued to plummet endlessly.
The changes in the massive star belonging to the God of Divination, high in the sky of the mortal realm, were swiftly perceived by the other gods as well.
"What's happening?"
"What's going on?"
"Why is the great God of Divination like this?"
The true gods were incredulous. If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they wouldn't have imagined that a high and mighty main god could fall into such a state.
The godly power, divine body, and even the divine nation were all withering away.
This was a main god?!
Throughout history, even in the cruelest of godly battles, main gods had always been above the fray. While there had been cases of main gods mysteriously disappearing, it had never been due to combat with other main gods.
"It's backlash," an ancient upper god whispered, as if realizing something.
Theoretically, every time the God of Divination exercised their 'divination' authority, there would be a cost.
The price depended on the relationship between the diviner and the target of divination.
However, the God of Divination was too powerful. As one of the twenty-four strongest main gods in the heavens and earth, even divining the secrets of a main god of the same level would hardly cost them anything.
This caused the majority of true gods to forget that the 'divination' authority came at a price.
"Then what is the origin of the Dragon Mountain Chieftain that caused the God of Divination to pay such a price?"
"Could it be related to the legendary 'Supreme God'?"
"Supreme God?"
The faces of the true gods turned solemn.
Since the beginning of the world, when the first main god, the Light Main God, came into existence, there had been rumors of a 'Supreme God'.
It was said that the 'Supreme God' created everything, including the 'main godhood' possessed by the main gods.
Why was the number of main gods fixed at twenty-four? It was because to become a main god, one must possess a main godhood, and there were only twenty-four of them.
In theory, only when a previous main god fell would a new main god be born.
Throughout history, there had been several incidents of main gods disappearing, and after a while, a new main god would emerge with a main godhood corresponding to the one who had vanished.
Rustle, rustle.
As the true gods discussed the matter, the God of Divination, whose aura and divine body had plummeted to rock bottom, barely managed to stabilize.
"What is that?" The God of Divination's eyes flickered with fear.
Using the method of reversing time, he had tried to uncover the origins of the Dragon Mountain Chieftain, but before he could see anything useful, the backlash struck, and he was still reeling from its effects.
He had never met the Supreme God, but at this moment, he couldn't think of any other explanation for the backlash he was experiencing other than the legendary 'Supreme God'.
"Could the Dragon Mountain Chieftain have obtained a chance encounter related to the Supreme God?"
The God of Divination took a deep breath. He didn't believe that the Dragon Mountain Chieftain was the Supreme God because if he were, the events that had transpired earlier wouldn't have happened.
With the status of the Supreme God, a single word from them would be enough to make even the main gods obey without question. How could they have possibly abducted a demigod from the human realm?
"A chance related to the Supreme God..." The God of Divination's eyes glinted with desire.
**Dragon Mountain Peak**
News reached the many members of the Dragon Mountain family, who, over the years, had expanded their influence from Dragon Mountain Peak to cover the entire Thousand Countries Plateau.
Naturally, they had befriended numerous demigods along the way.
A large proportion of these demigods had connections to the true gods in the Ocean of Light.
So, it wasn't long before the news that their chieftain had single-handedly killed hundreds of incarnations of divine power belonging to these true gods spread throughout the Dragon Mountain family.
"Our chieftain killed hundreds of incarnations of true gods?"
Many of the elders of the Dragon Mountain family were flabbergasted. They had witnessed the family's growth from a viscount force to what it was today.
In fact, it was thanks to the chieftain that they had lived so long.
However, as reverent as these elders were of their chieftain, they were shocked to learn that the once-high-and-mighty incarnations of the true gods were like ants before Lin Yuan.
How could this be possible?
Wasn't it said that all beings were like ants before true gods?
How had true gods now become the ants?
"Has my son become a god?" Dragon Mountain Fang asked dumbfoundedly. He wasn't very knowledgeable about such matters and didn't know that achieving godhood would be impossible to conceal.
However, the only way for Dragon Mountain Yuan to so easily defeat hundreds of incarnations of divine power was if he had become a true god himself.
"Yuan..." Dragon Mountain Fang's wife was equally astonished. She remembered the Dragon Mountain Yuan of old, a good-for-nothing young master, and now he had reached such heights.
"The chieftain hasn't become a god," Dragon Mountain Ling spoke up.
This was the information conveyed by the Order Pope, and it was unlikely to be false.
Moreover, any being that achieved godhood would have to enter the Ocean of Light or the Abyss of Darkness immediately. This was an ironclad rule among the gods.
Yet, here their chieftain remained, still in the cultivation chamber within the grand hall.
"He hasn't become a god?"
The members of the Dragon Mountain family looked at each other in bewilderment.
Most of them didn't understand the significance of this, but their reverence and admiration for their chieftain deepened all the same.
**Ocean of Light**
**Main God's Hall**
Figures began to appear on the twenty-four thrones in the hall.
These figures were all main gods, not just from the Ocean of Light but also from the Abyss of Darkness.
Although the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were of different factions and had waged war against each other numerous times over the eons, to the main gods, there was no real distinction between them.
The twenty-four main gods were all beings of the same level, and there were no irreconcilable hatreds between them.
At this moment, faced with a chance related to the Supreme God, they had all gathered together.
"Divination, is the Dragon Mountain Chieftain truly related to the Supreme God?" A figure shrouded in darkness asked in a deep voice. He was the Darkness Main God, the second main god to be born in the heavens and earth.
The Light Main God had created the Ocean of Light, and the Darkness Main God had created the Abyss of Darkness.
"If it wasn't related to the Supreme God, how could I have ended up in this state?" The God of Divination's breath was weak.
Even though he had barely managed to withstand the backlash, the God of Divination had exhausted his foundation, and his divine nation was on the brink of collapse.
It would take at least a million years to recover from such a loss.
"Indeed."
The Darkness Main God's eyes flickered, and he said no more.
"What level is the Dragon Mountain Chieftain at now?" A figure enveloped in endless light spoke up.
"I can confirm that the Dragon Mountain Chieftain is still a ninth-tier being. The backlash I suffered did not come from him."
The God of Divination quickly replied.
"The Dragon Mountain Chieftain's strength surpasses any of us here." The Goddess of the Magic Web, her eyes cold, spoke up.
Not long ago, she had descended in an incarnation and tried to communicate with the Dragon Mountain Chieftain, only to be obliterated with a casual wave of his hand.
Through this brief exchange, the Goddess of the Magic Web had gained an inkling of the Dragon Mountain Chieftain's strength.
"As long as he hasn't completely surpassed the ninth tier, there's still a chance." A vaguely-shaped main god said, glancing at the other twenty-three main gods, "What should we do about this Dragon Mountain Chieftain?"
Upon hearing this, the twenty-three main gods looked at each other but remained silent.
The twenty-four main gods had lived for countless years, and their emotions had been worn down by nearly ninety percent. Yet, at this moment, a spark of desire had been reignited within them.
A desire for a chance related to the Supreme God.
This could very well help them surpass the other main gods.
At that time, there would be no distinction between the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.
"You want to deal with the Dragon Mountain Chieftain and take the chance related to the Supreme God for yourselves?" The God of Divination understood the other main gods' intentions.
In truth, he had similar thoughts. Who wouldn't want to take that step further? But in his current state, it was nothing more than a fleeting thought.
"We must be extremely cautious when dealing with the Dragon Mountain Chieftain. Don't forget, he's in the human realm. Even if we join forces, what if we fail to obtain the chance related to the Supreme God, and the human realm is destroyed in the process?"
Another main god spoke up.
Whether it was the chance related to the Supreme God or the possibility of surpassing their peers, the lives of the human realm were the foundation of the main gods.
"Yes."
"We need to find a reason to lure the Dragon Mountain Chieftain to the Ocean of Light or the Abyss of Darkness."
The rest of the main gods nodded slightly. Only in the depths of these realms, with their myriad spatial layers, could they act without restraint.
**Dragon Mountain Peak**
**Dragon Mountain Grand Hall**
Lin Yuan remained in seclusion, comprehending the demigod realm.
['Your comprehension talent is heaven-defying. By observing the essence of the world's rules, your understanding of space continues to rise.']
['Your comprehension talent is heaven-defying. By observing the essence of the world's rules, your understanding of space continues to rise.']
['Your comprehension talent is heaven-defying. By observing the essence of the world's rules, your understanding of space continues to rise.']
As a large amount of insight merged with his heart, it finally triggered a qualitative change, and Lin Yuan suddenly understood, thoroughly grasping the fundamental aspect of space in this world.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze profound.
At the same time,
His inner world began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
