Chapter 322: Stars Fall Like Rain Upon the Mortal Realm
Chapter 322: Stars Fall Like Rain Upon the Mortal Realm (End of Chapter Preview)
Within Lin Yuan's body, a vast inner world was flourishing.
Layers upon layers of spatial planes were rapidly being created and derived.
With a slight sense of awareness, Lin Yuan could discern the number of spatial planes that his inner world currently occupied.
One hundred and twenty million layers of space.
In the main world and the main universe, ninth-stage life forms were also known as multi-spatial life forms, requiring them to occupy as many spatial planes as possible.
However, in the long history of the main world, Lin Yuan wondered if there had ever been a ninth-stage life form that had created such a vast number of spatial planes.
But he had never heard of such a case.
The vast majority of ninth-stage life forms struggled to create a mere ten million layers of space, and even the most exceptional ones could barely reach two or three hundred million.
Perhaps some unique and special life forms might have a chance to reach seven or eight hundred million layers?
But over one hundred million layers of space? Or even one hundred and twenty million? It's not that such a feat was impossible, but a normal ninth-stage life simply didn't have the lifespan to achieve it.
Even Lin Yuan had only reached this height in a short time due to the unique characteristics of the 'divinity' of this world.
"It's about time."
"I should try my hand at true divinity and main divinity."
Lin Yuan looked into the void, as if seeing through the countless layers of space, his gaze falling upon the two vast planes of the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.
With that thought, Lin Yuan voluntarily stepped out of the Dragon Mountain Great Hall.
"Clan Head."
"The Clan Head has emerged from seclusion."
Members of the Dragon Mountain family had already been waiting outside, having heard the unbelievable news, and were now gathered in anticipation outside the Great Hall.
"Ah Yuan," Mr. and Mrs. Dragon Mountain looked at Lin Yuan, not knowing what to say.
The current Lin Yuan gave them the same feeling as before; it was hard to associate him with the Dragon Mountain Clan Head who had killed true gods like squashing ants.
"Clan Head, did you really kill those incarnations of the true gods?" Dragon Mountain Spirit finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "Was the Order Pope right?"
"Yes, it was me," Lin Yuan nodded. With his inner world reaching one hundred and twenty million layers of space, he was even confident enough to go up against tenth-stage life forms.
In this world, he was invincible.
"It really was the Clan Head who did it."
"If the Clan Head can kill so many incarnations of true gods, he must have the strength to defeat the true gods themselves."
The rest of the Dragon Mountain family members were stunned by this revelation. Hearing it from others was one thing, but hearing it directly from their Clan Head was an entirely different matter.
"Is our Dragon Mountain family about to become a divine family?" Many elders of the Dragon Mountain family were overwhelmed with emotion, their faces streaked with tears.
There were some transcendent forces in the Million Countries Plateau that stood above the empires—families that had given birth to true gods.
These families were second only to the major churches in terms of power and influence, and they often received the attention of the true gods who dwelled in the Ocean of Light.
Now…
The Dragon Mountain family was about to join their ranks.
This was far more shocking than Lin Yuan's previous announcement of his demi-god strength. In this world, true gods represented eternal glory.
Lin Yuan glanced at the excited and thrilled members of the Dragon Mountain family, a smile on his face. "I'm going to pay a visit to the Ocean of Light."
"You're going to the Ocean of Light?" Only then did Dragon Mountain Spirit realize that their Clan Head was different from ordinary true gods.
According to the Order Pope, the Dragon Mountain Clan Head had not yet raised a divine nation, yet he possessed the strength to rival that of a true god.
"Clan Head, what are you going to do in the Ocean of Light?" Dragon Mountain Spirit asked hesitantly, mustering her courage.
"I'm going to make a deal with the gods," Lin Yuan replied without hiding anything.
The deal Lin Yuan wanted to make with the gods was for them to willingly offer their divinities to him, and in return, he would give them back after he had comprehended them individually.
In fact, if the gods were willing to cooperate, Lin Yuan was willing to give them some face.
"Make a deal?" Dragon Mountain Spirit swallowed, noticing that Lin Yuan was referring not to a single true god, but to the gods collectively!
What did this imply? Dragon Mountain Spirit dared not think too deeply about it.
The other members of the Dragon Mountain family, however, did not probe further. They were still immersed in the joy of their family's imminent ascension to the ranks of divine families.
Riiiip!
Lin Yuan took a step forward.
The stable space in front of him suddenly 'tore', revealing a vast world filled with endless light—the Ocean of Light.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan stepped into the Ocean of Light.
In an instant, the rift sealed itself, leaving the Dragon Mountain family members shocked and awe-struck.
This was the first time these ordinary people had witnessed the true sight of the Ocean of Light. The abode of the gods, longed for by countless demi-gods, had appeared so easily before them.
The Ocean of Light.
Vast and boundless, filled with endless radiant breath.
"Light?"
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. It was said that the first main god of this world was the God of Light, controlling all the light in the world.
At the moment Lin Yuan entered the Ocean of Light.
In the grand temple where the twenty-four main gods had gathered, the God of Light's expression changed slightly.
"The Dragon Mountain Clan Head has arrived in the Ocean of Light," the God of Light immediately announced.
The Ocean of Light was his creation, and he was aware of even the slightest changes within it.
"What?"
"He actually dared to come here of his own accord?"
"We were just discussing how to lure the Dragon Mountain Clan Head here, and now he comes of his own volition?"
The other twenty-three main gods were astonished. However, they soon realized that this presented a unique opportunity.
The Dragon Mountain Clan Head was unaware of their true strength as a united force, which was why he dared to come to them.
"I have sealed off the Ocean of Light. For a short time, no god, including us main gods, can leave."
The God of Light looked around. "Let's see what the Dragon Mountain Clan Head has to say. If he's willing to share the opportunity of the Supreme God with us, we can let him join us."
This statement immediately gained the agreement of the other main gods.
If they could obtain the opportunity of the Supreme God 'peacefully', they naturally wouldn't want to fight for it.
Who knew what cards the Dragon Mountain Clan Head held? The fact that he dared to come to them so boldly meant that he was confident in his abilities.
Even if they, the twenty-four main gods, had the upper hand, they might still end up being forcibly 'exchanged' by the Dragon Mountain Clan Head.
None of the main gods could guarantee that they wouldn't be the ones to be 'exchanged'.
"This layer of space has been sealed?" Lin Yuan had only been in the Ocean of Light for a short time when he noticed the change in the spatial layer.
"What a weak seal."
Lin Yuan shook his head. With his strength, he could easily tear apart and shatter such a seal.
However, his purpose in coming here was to obtain the divinities of the gods, and the seal on the Ocean of Light suited his plans perfectly.
As Lin Yuan pondered his next move.
Figures began to appear in the distance.
They were the countless true gods who had been ordered by the main gods to gather.
"Is that the Dragon Mountain Clan Head?"
"He's the one who obtained the opportunity of the Supreme God?"
"The Supreme God… We true gods can only look up to such an existence in reverence."
"I always thought the Supreme God was a fictional entity, but it turns out to be real."
The eyes of the countless true gods looking at Lin Yuan were filled with a range of emotions: reverence, greed, excitement, curiosity, and more.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
At that moment.
Twenty-four figures silently appeared above the countless true gods.
"It seems that the Dragon Mountain Clan Head is in a dangerous situation today."
"The opportunity of the Supreme God can be taken by the main gods, but I can take it too."
The many true gods had different thoughts. To them, Lin Yuan was just an ordinary viscount heir in the mortal realm who had obtained the opportunity of the Supreme God and suddenly reached this level of power.
If the opportunity of the Supreme God fell into their hands, wouldn't they have a chance to surpass the main gods?
"Clan Head Lin," said a tall main god with a golden dragon horn on his head. He was the Seven-Colored Dragon God, the source of faith for all dragon-type creatures in the world. In a strict sense, the seven-colored dragon bloodline in Lin Yuan's body came from this main god.
"Why have you come here today?" The Seven-Colored Dragon God asked, fixing his gaze on Lin Yuan.
Although he was extremely eager for the opportunity of the Supreme God that Lin Yuan possessed, the more critical the moment, the more he had to remain calm and not show any impatience.
"I have come here to discuss a transaction with you all," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
He looked at the numerous true gods and twenty-four main gods, his heart filled with anticipation. How many more layers of space would these true god essences and main god essences help him to create?
"A transaction?"
"A transaction with us?"
The Seven-Colored Dragon God was slightly taken aback, and the other twenty-three main gods also looked surprised.
"What kind of transaction?" The God of Light asked directly.
"I want to borrow your god essences," Lin Yuan said.
Upon hearing this, not only the twenty-four main gods but also the countless true gods below them fell silent.
A god's essence was the absolute core of a deity, and to hand it over to someone else was akin to giving them your life.
Especially for the main gods, their main god positions were based on their main god essences.
To hand over their main god essences meant that if Lin Yuan had any malicious intentions, they would fall into an irreversible peril.
"Clan Head Lin, you are too arrogant," said the God of Darkness coldly. "You want us to hand over our god essences? What can you offer in exchange?"
Although he didn't agree with Lin Yuan's proposal, the God of Darkness still wanted to know what Lin Yuan was offering as a condition for the exchange.
"If you hand over your god essences, I will spare your lives," Lin Yuan said honestly.
"Hahahaha! It seems you are quite confident about dealing with us, Clan Head Lin?"
"You want to spare our lives? Today, you will stay in the Ocean of Light!"
The many main gods and true gods were amused by Lin Yuan's words. Even though Lin Yuan had displayed spatial prowess that surpassed ordinary main gods, they were still a force of twenty-four main gods, along with a large number of true gods. No matter how powerful Lin Yuan was, he couldn't possibly stand against all of them.
The twenty-four main gods possessed authority over the fundamental powers of this world, which was why they were confident that they could suppress Lin Yuan.
As long as they joined forces, no one could stop them, except perhaps a true Supreme God.
"It seems the transaction won't work out," Lin Yuan said with a slight shake of his head. It was indeed challenging to get the gods to hand over their god essences voluntarily.
However, this didn't affect Lin Yuan much; he could always take them by force if necessary.
"Clan Head Lin, hand over the opportunity of the Supreme God, and we will let you go," said the God of Order. Initially, his subordinate god had intended to recruit Lin Yuan, so he still had some compassion for him.
"Yes, hand over the opportunity of the Supreme God, and we can discuss this further," agreed the other main gods.
"The opportunity of the Supreme God is not something you can enjoy alone," they added, their eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, gleaming with desire.
They no longer tried to hide their intentions and directly asked Lin Yuan for the opportunity of the Supreme God. As for whether they would anger the Supreme God by doing so?
If the Supreme God truly didn't want them to obtain the opportunity, the main gods wouldn't even have had the chance to come into contact with Lin Yuan.
Since the Supreme God hadn't given any hints by now, it meant that the opportunity of the Supreme God in Lin Yuan's hands was up for grabs.
"The opportunity of the Supreme God?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Never mind, there's no point in arguing with you."
"Since you all want to die, I will fulfill your wish."
Upon hearing this, all the true gods were bewildered, and the twenty-four main gods felt a sense of foreboding.
Although they were greedy, they still had their rationality. Even now, with Lin Yuan displaying such dominance, they wondered if he had the power to sweep through countless true gods and the twenty-four main gods.
However, before the true gods and main gods could react further, Lin Yuan raised his right hand. In an instant, he occupied one hundred and twenty million layers of space, and a terrifying power swept through all the true gods and main gods.
"This—"
The first to feel despair were the countless true gods. They immediately sensed that everything about them was beginning to shatter—their physical bodies, their souls, and more.
"No—"
A large number of true gods were reduced to dust. Even the most ancient upper gods couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's attack, and their wills instantly fell into darkness, leaving only their shiny god essences behind.
Whoosh!
The one hundred and twenty million layers of space vibrated back and forth, soon enveloping the twenty-four main gods. Fearful, the main gods tried to retreat into the deeper layers of space, only to discover that any layer of space they occupied was also covered by Lin Yuan's attack.
Dragon Mountain Peak.
Outside the Dragon Mountain Great Hall.
The members of the Dragon Mountain family were still excitedly discussing the recent events.
"Was that the Ocean of Light earlier?"
"It's the abode of the gods, the most sacred world. I didn't expect our Clan Head to be able to enter so easily."
"Of course. Our Clan Head's strength is obvious. Even in the Ocean of Light, he is definitely one of the most powerful gods, second only to the main gods."
The Dragon Mountain family members were proud.
"By the way, earlier our Clan Head mentioned discussing a transaction with the gods. I wonder what that's about?"
A family member seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
"It should be a normal transaction, right?"
"I'm not sure, but since it's a transaction, there's a possibility of success or failure."
"Yes, if our Clan Head fails to reach an agreement with the gods, what will happen then?"
The Dragon Mountain family members thought about it and couldn't help but worry.
Could it be that as soon as the Clan Head entered the Ocean of Light, he caused conflict and discord with the gods?
At that moment, a member of the Dragon Mountain family seemed to have discovered something. His voice trembled as he said, "Look at the sky!"
"The sky?"
Although they were puzzled, the Dragon Mountain family members followed his gaze and looked up at the sky.
But what they saw was a sight that would be forever etched in their memories.
They saw the eternal and indestructible stars hanging high in the sky.
However, at that moment, to everyone's amazement, one of the stars began to fall. Then, in a certain area, more stars started to fall, and soon, stars across the entire sky began to fall like rain.
Countless stars, which had hung in the sky for countless millennia, fell together like shooting stars.
The stars rained down upon the mortal realm.
