Chapter 331: The Beginning
Chapter 331: The Beginning
In the boundless universe, the starry sea was vast, with countless stars twinkling like a magnificent tapestry. The Milky Way, like a winding ribbon, shimmered with radiant brilliance, connecting the stars and forming a grand and awe-inspiring spectacle.
Only a minuscule fraction of planets gave birth to life, and an even smaller fraction of lifeforms possessed sentience. It took an eternity for intelligence to accumulate, and countless wise beings dwelled on their birth planets, each with a story to tell.
Among the myriad stars, one suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance, emitting a peculiar power that rippled across the entire world. This star stood out in the cosmic map, drawing attention to itself.
It was as if someone had lit a bonfire in a dark forest.
Lu Ke opened his eyes, and an endless surge of power flowed through him. His body was inching towards perfection, his life essence rapidly ascending, and various incompatible forces emerged within him.
Surprisingly, forces from other worlds were not restricted, and this world's compatibility was incredibly bizarre.
Before he could even register the joy on his face, his rising spirituality naturally connected his spiritual body to an interface. Countless murmurs filled his ears, and an overwhelming amount of knowledge and information flooded his mind.
His face darkened as his gaze uncontrollably traversed space, and in the distant starry river, he saw a familiar galaxy. He gazed upon a beautiful aquamarine planet, surrounded by an impenetrable barrier beyond it.
Outside the barrier, on countless planets, were indescribably terrifying beings, intently observing the scenes within through the barrier's cracks.
The next moment, these terrifying faces paused their observations and shifted their gaze, their eyes filled with boundless malice, as if they had unexpectedly discovered a never-before-tasted, delectable treat.
The pure moonlight was replaced by a crimson glow, and soon, several other stars began to shine—red, orange, gold, blue, and brown—a total of nine!
Lu Ke's hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his neck, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
Before his awakening, he was just an ordinary person living on his planet, similar to Earth but with many differences, including distinct constellations. He thought he had crossed over to a different world, but he never imagined it would be this world.
The moment he established a connection with the spirit realm, he became aware of his strength—Sequence 0, the True God level. His raw power was formidable, and in a head-on battle, he could likely hold his own against the strongest. However, his control over various concepts paled in comparison to other True Gods, resembling more of a battle god or storm lord.
Not only was the time wrong, but the space was incorrect as well!
Why couldn't they keep me safely within the barrier?
Why does becoming a god have to be so loud, attracting unwanted attention?
Lu Ke felt like cursing. Without hesitation, he fled, disappearing from his original spot and reappearing in the distance, where the interplay of light and shadow revealed another nearby planet.
He began his relentless escape.
Thump!
As the indescribable beings prepared to reach out and grab the little treat, a heartbeat echoed from within the depths of the crimson shadow. Something gestating within seemed to be awakened by the new force, a power not of this universe, stirring it from its deep slumber, a thread of will.
This change caused the crimson shadow to pause, and almost all the indescribable beings followed suit, choosing to observe the unfolding events. Only one, with a seemingly less-than-clear mind, hesitated, as if debating whether to make a move.
An immense will, so vast it stifled resistance, swept over Lu Ke's body, seemingly analyzing his very essence. Lu Ke felt as if his body, soul, and even his fate were laid bare.
Despite this, the will couldn't reach a definitive conclusion. After a moment's hesitation, it pronounced its judgment.
"Foreign God."
A hazy, indistinct voice echoed in Lu Ke's mind, wavering and intermittent, as if it might slip back into slumber at any moment.
But with this voice, the entire universe began to flicker for him! A faint yet unique symbol was born—the "Invasion" symbol! This symbol, like a drop in an ocean, represented Lu Ke's achievement of infiltrating this world.
The will didn't stop there; it began to analyze Lu Ke's power—his vibrant life force, sturdy soul, and various exotic energies.
All extraordinary traits originated from the beginning, but this moment marked the emergence of a force not from the origin, causing a slight but upward shift in the universe.
Without altering anything, the unknown, information, weight, and total sum increased, leading the will to pronounce its second verdict.
"Entropy Increase."
The second symbol was fixed—the "Entropy Increase" symbol! It represented changes beyond the universe's natural evolution, defying the laws of logic, and signifying unending growth.
The will then proceeded to thoroughly comprehend Lu Ke's power, and a peculiar force caused his body to instinctively fracture. Lu Ke's body began to tremble.
Behind him, a phantom appeared—a male figure in luxurious brocade robes, wielding a moonlit longsword. Then, a second phantom emerged—a young boy in black and white uniform, followed by a third, a towering giant-like figure. The fourth phantom was a youthful man in a Daoist robe, and the fifth, a half-human, half-dragon creature covered in bone spikes and claws.
(End of Chapter 331)
Mages, elves, humanoid seals... One by one, these figures emerged from within Lu Ke's body, only to be reunited in the next instant, layering upon him. Then, under the influence of a strange power, they were once again separated, repeating this cycle endlessly.
No matter how that will tried to separate them, as long as it paused, the shadows would return to Lu Ke's body. Finally, the will ceased its attempts and delivered a third verdict.
【Return to Unity】
This verdict, 'Return to Unity,' symbolized the repulsion and aggregation of extraordinary traits, representing the contradictory nature of the first creator's separation and aggregation.
With this verdict, in the distant galaxy, a great being who had been hesitating to devour the newly appeared 'food' let out a painful scream. Its body dimmed for a moment.
Its 'Aggregation' symbol, a small part of it, was torn away and sent into the body of the new god.
Unlike the previous 'Invasion,' which was like a drifting water lily, and the complete reliance on Lu Ke's unique 'Entropy Increase,' the symbol granted this time, besides relying on Lu Ke's own traits, was more closely related to the Outer God that existed in this universe.
Through this connection, Lu Ke became more intimately linked to this world, truly integrating into the universe, becoming a part of it, and thus forming a closer mystical bond.
Perhaps due to the exhaustion from summoning power, the already intermittent and vague will spoke these words and then fell silent. The force that had immobilized Lu Ke's body disappeared.
Lu Ke swallowed hard, his heart pounding. Only when he confirmed that the will had left him did he finally relax.
The will that had just spoken was undoubtedly the first creator, the origin of all things. Even in slumber, it was impossible for it to completely lose its perception; it was just that nothing in the outside world held any significance for it.
