Chapter 496: Taking Stock
Chapter 496: Taking Stock
Main Universe.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the once stagnant time to flow once more.
Blue Planet Federation.
The Blue Planet Federation's border army, countless extraterrestrial aliens, and even Blue Planet itself, seemed to come alive, including Nan Gong Xue, Nie Ying, Duan Hai, Jian Qiu, and the three elders...
No!
Or perhaps, for them, time had never stopped, and Blue Planet had been escaping, with the great war still raging on!
Suddenly!
The founding principal of Sheng Jia University exclaimed, "Not good... Go back quickly!"
A star-like mecha appeared, holding back Blue Planet, which was trying to escape into the depths of the universe, and even pushing it back!
As the Blue Planet crowd stood in a daze, the professional observer of the universe shouted, "The universe... is collapsing!"
"What? Could it be... that our universe is truly going to perish?"
The Creator awakens, causing the universe to collapse and return to nothingness?"
Liu Wei and the others looked extremely grim.
However, the two federal elders who were with the founding principal seemed deep in thought.
As expected...
Although the universe was collapsing, the outer realm's heretical gods, extraterrestrial aliens, and even the Federation's people were all reduced to a single point.
But the Sun System was preserved.
Beyond the solar system, everything was in chaos, except for the Sun System where Blue Planet was located, which was still slowly rotating.
"This..."
"Has the universe beyond the solar system disappeared? Is it dead?"
Nan Gong Xue and Nie Ying gazed at the concept map displayed by the artificial intelligence, looking at each other in disbelief.
At this moment, a figure flashed, and Fang Xing's body appeared.
"A Xing?"
Nan Gong Xue's eyes lit up, "Did you win?"
"Yes, we defeated the Creator." Fang Xing smiled and sighed, "Unfortunately... the universe we are in was established by the Creator with illusion, and when He falls, this universe will also be destroyed... But I have used my powers to preserve a region as large as the Sun System..."
This was the reason he slowly devoured the Creator, swallowing Him whole in the end.
Without inheriting the Creator's legacy, the beings in this main universe might have been in danger.
After all... they were originally illusions, the Creator's creations!
The foundation of their existence lay in the Creator's illusory laws!
"What?"
The three federal elders were shocked, "What about our Federation's numerous planets and citizens?"
"They have all been reduced to nothing by the universe's collapse..."
The founding principal sighed, "In any case, this is already the best outcome."
He glanced at Liu Wei and the others, knowing that they had all gathered on Blue Planet to witness Fang Xing's breakthrough, and had inadvertently gained a great advantage.
"We were originally part of this universe..."
Fang Xing paused, then explained, "However, every being that has ever been born in this universe has a unique imprint, which I now possess. Perhaps one day, I can use these imprints to bring them back to life..."
This was a privilege unique to powerful beings, who held the power of life and death over the beings in their inner universe, and was not a true 'resurrection'.
For those outside his inner universe, who had no record in this universe, even with the Creator's legacy, Fang Xing had no means to bring them back.
In fact, with his current strength, maintaining an inner universe the size of the Sun System was already his limit.
"What?"
The federal elders, Nie Ying, and the others' eyes lit up, "Can they be reborn?"
"Or perhaps, a better term would be 'rebooted', since you are not truly alive."
Fang Xing sighed, "However... I can give you true life, allowing you to leave this inner universe and enter the real world and universe. This is a power unique to me!"
In the past, even with the mastery of the 'True Self Law', he could only make himself 'real'.
But now, he could turn illusions into 'reality', a difference that defied explanation.
This was all due to his complete mastery of the 'True Self Law'!
Having won the Creator's battle of laws, acquiring all of the Creator's power, the current Fang Xing didn't even know the extent of his own strength!
"Currently, I can only make a few 'real', but in the future, the number of 'real' beings will increase..."
"Our Blue Planet Federation can also leave this inner universe and enter the true world and universe."
Fang Xing made a promise, "Now... I need to enter seclusion."
...
Blue Sea District, Villa 69.
After Fang Xing ascended beyond the realm of martial gods, he engaged in a battle of laws with the Creator, which had little impact on Blue Planet.
The villa he had purchased remained intact.
'Speaking of which... buying a house on Blue Planet was the original owner's wish.'
Fang Xing smiled, for since the condensation of the True Self Law and the attainment of martial immortality, he and the original owner had truly become separate entities.
As a being from the inner universe, the original owner naturally had an imprint in the universe's origin.
"In the future, I can resurrect him, ending this karmic cycle... To transcend, one must sever the threads of karma..."
Fang Xing sighed, then focused on his attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 11]
[Occupation: Star Warrior]
[Twelfth Realm: ?
【The Martial Arts Compendium: 8899/10000 (Beginner)】
【Star Sovereign Realm: Stellar-Rank】
【Star Palace Scroll: 199/200 (Proficient)】
【Nine-Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique: 333/400 (Master)】
【Great Sun Buddha Mantra: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】
【Heavenly Mother Vajra Lotus Twin Guardian Dharmabody: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】
【Great Sun Buddha Palm: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】
【Law Comprehension: True Self (Grandmaster), Illusion (Master), Space (Master), Time (Expert), Fate (Expert), Order (Expert), Death (Expert), Life (Expert), Flame (Expert), Chaos (Proficient)...】
【Gate of the Multiverse (Empowerment in Progress)】
...
"By winning the battle of fate against the Creator, I gained everything from my opponent... primarily reflected in my comprehension of the Laws."
Fang Xing's gaze fell upon his Law Comprehension, reviewing the progress of each, and instantly understood.
"The True Self Law, promoted to Grandmaster, means I've completely comprehended it..."
The True Self Law allows warriors to maintain their true selves, forming the foundation of reality.
By fully comprehending the True Self Law, not only can I maintain my own reality, but I can also transform the illusory humans within the Creator's universe into reality, thus truly stepping out of the Creator's inner universe and entering a brand new world!"
'Before, if Nan Gong Xue and the others were to step out of this primary universe, they might immediately turn into nothingness...'
'But after being influenced by the True Self Law, they can truly leave.'
Fang Xing turned to the second Law Comprehension: "It's the Illusion Law, already at the fifth stage... Almost complete."
It was clear that this was also a 'gift' from the Creator. If not for Fang Xing's lack of focus on the Illusion Law, even if he had directly completed it, comprehending this Law would still have been possible.
After all, this was the Creator's primary Law!
"Illusion... The bigger the heart, the bigger the world... The Creator utilizes the Illusion Law to make his inner world boundless..."
Fang Xing pondered.
"Then there's the Time and Space Laws, both of which have advanced significantly... The Creator has a deeper understanding of space, so my Space Law directly advanced to the fifth stage, reaching the Grandmaster level. As for the Time Law, although it's still at the Expert level, it's almost ready to advance to Grandmaster."
"Next are Fate, Order, Life, and Death... These are the three pillars of the Creator's offspring, indicating His profound mastery in these aspects..."
"As for the rest of the heretical gods' authorities, there are many..."
Fang Xing didn't look pleased with these. After all, he understood the saying, 'Jack of all trades, master of none.'
The Creator had fallen into this trap, and now he was passing it on.
"However, by fully comprehending the True Self Law, I've already advanced to the thirteenth realm, becoming a Celestial Immortal Lawmaster."
Fang Xing exhaled, this being the greatest benefit of the battle of fate.
In one breath, he reached the thirteenth realm.
He checked his realm and found that it was still at the twelfth, precisely as expected.
"Although I've comprehended the Laws, I still need to accumulate sufficient resources to assist in the breakthrough..."
"Hence, the attribute panel indicates the twelfth realm, but my combat power is undoubtedly at the thirteenth. All that's left is to continuously absorb Source Power and break through..."
"The breakthrough should be swift, or the Creator's authority won't be fully grasped."
"Only a true thirteenth-realm expert can create an inner universe. I'm still a bit forced."
Fang Xing has already created an inner universe, this very Solar System! However, he maintains it with his Grandmaster-level Illusion Law, making its scale countless times smaller than the Creator's, limited to just the size of this solar system.
For the citizens of the Blue Planet Federation in this solar system, this is already considered fortunate.
After all, they are still alive, and there's hope for them to become completely real.
"Furthermore... My profession has become a Star Warrior."
Fang Xing looked at the Star Warrior entry, and after the battle of fate, the abilities of this term were finally fully displayed:
【Star Warrior: You gather the immortal Great Sun body from the infinite space-time, absorbing Source Power for cultivation... Your Source Power absorption and recovery speed far surpasses ordinary warriors.】
"Source Power?"
Fang Xing stared at this description and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this true?"
With a thought, he arrived outside his inner universe.
...
The Great Xia Universe.
At the edge of the universe, a junction appeared.
The void storm flickered, yet it couldn't move the figure standing within.
Fang Xing stood silently in the void, sensing the universe's solitude and the dense Source Power, immediately making a judgment: "The main universe is located within the Creator's body, and the universe where the Creator lives... is indeed the Great Xia Universe!"
In an instant, all kinds of memories about this universe flashed through Fang Xing's mind like fleeting shadows... Li Ying, Yuan Chong Temple, Gray-Robed Marquis, Yuan Nightmare Palace...
Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pinnacle Civilizations...
