Chapter 732: Universal Creation!
Chapter 732: Universal Creation!
In a certain area of the gradually dissipating Source Sea.
Several Great Way Sovereigns had gathered here. One of them sat at the head, meditating in the void. Around him, three Primordial Ways manifested as ethereal rivers, reflecting each other and emitting a radiant light.
He was the Grandmaster of Vast Expanse, a figure who had risen to prominence in the current era, on par with the Yuan Shi Lord and the Primordial Lord.
"Supreme Sovereign."
Suddenly, one of the Great Way Sovereigns opened his eyes, looking at the Grandmaster of Vast Expanse with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse slowly raised his brows, glanced at the man, and his eyes remained calm. He said in a composed tone, "I am already aware. Each person has their own fate, so there's no need for excessive surprise. In the vast universe and the long expanse of time, countless eras have seen the emergence of many more astonishing talents."
Chen Mu's rise was indeed astonishing. In a short span of time, he had ascended from a newly-minted Great Way Sovereign to the level of a Supreme Sovereign, even outpacing the Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse. However, as he said, in the vast universe and endless cycles, there are always some exceptionally talented individuals who emerge, and he was one of them, as was Chen Mu.
The nearby Great Way Sovereigns of the Vast Expanse Temple exchanged glances, their eyes still reflecting surprise. Although the Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse was very calm about Chen Mu's sudden rise, they were internally tumultuous.
After all,
Most of them were Great Way Sovereigns who had risen to prominence in the current era, once close associates of the Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse. Their existence spanned far more years than Chen Mu's, yet among them, some had yet to comprehend a second Primordial Way.
As everyone's expressions varied and their minds swirled with thoughts, the Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse directed his gaze toward a certain point in the void. His eyes faintly reflected the silhouette of Chen Mu, and he murmured to himself.
"Chen Mu..."
"To rise so quickly in such a short time, you must possess a special destiny."
"In the current universe, the Space-Time Island Lord is decaying, and the Yuan Shi Lord is aging. After they transform into rules, the universe will be dominated by the three of us. I wonder which of us will take the step to transcend."
To rise to his current position, becoming the most dazzling Supreme Sovereign in the entire Vast Expanse Universe before Chen Mu's emergence, the Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse naturally had his own opportunities.
He received the inheritance of an ancient Supreme Sovereign who had already become part of the rules, obtaining a Primordial Treasure left behind by that ancient figure. With the help of this Primordial Treasure, he dominated the initial battles in the Origin Realm, suppressing all races, and eventually ascended to the rank of Sovereign. Within a short time, he reached the level of a Supreme Sovereign.
There were many similar inheritances from ancient Supreme Sovereigns.
However,
These inheritances were often hidden deep within the Great Ways or left outside the universe, making them difficult for even Great Way Sovereigns to find. After all, those ancient Supreme Sovereigns did not truly fall; their wills were completely assimilated into the Primordial Ways, becoming part of the rules.
Thus, their Primordial Treasures remained "owned," and would not be seized by others. Many would even re-melt into the Source River, becoming part of it.
The Supreme Sovereign of Vast Expanse was extremely fortunate. He was not a native of this universe but came from another unfamiliar realm. His arrival caused a slight disturbance in the Primordial Ways of this universe, leading to a series of events that allowed him to obtain the complete inheritance of an ancient Supreme Sovereign by chance.
Now it seemed,
Chen Mu, who also rose to prominence in a short time, might have received a similar great opportunity.
However, he did not intend to inquire about it. The future was long, and both he and Chen Mu were new Supreme Sovereigns who would stand at the pinnacle of the universe for dozens or even hundreds of cycles. They would eventually intersect, and there was no need to rush to discuss the Way with Chen Mu.
...
Above the Source River.
Chen Mu's Ego Star floated on the surface of the river, resembling a glowing lotus platform. Inside, it carried dozens of his old acquaintances from the Greater Xuan World, as well as some of the younger generation's elite.
Most of them had their eyes closed, sitting in the center, awaiting the universe's rebirth. Meanwhile, those who had reached the Nine Heavens, such as Shenjun Xu Yue and Shenjun Chen Yao, were observing the process of the universe transitioning from extinction to creation.
In their line of sight, they could see the vast and expansive Source Sea changing.
At this moment,
The Source Sea, which was once boundless, had become increasingly thin, as if the liquid sea had been gradually drained, becoming noticeably dimmer.
Especially at its edges, it was beginning to contract inward.
However, even Great Way Sovereigns could not see the internal changes of the Source Sea from the outside, let alone Xu Yue and Chen Yao. They could only observe the macroscopic changes as the universe moved from extinction to rebirth.
Thus,
An unknown amount of time passed.
Suddenly, everyone on the Ego Star, including Xu Yue, Chen Yao, and the others who were observing the changes in the Source Sea, as well as Xu Hongyu and others who were waiting in silence, opened their eyes, each showing a look of surprise.
In Xu Yue's and the others' line of sight, the Source Sea did not undergo any significant changes, but the Ego Star that carried them, which had been continuously radiating light, suddenly paused and then burst into a brilliant glow.
Hum!!!
An incredibly radiant light erupted from the Ego Star, causing the surging Source River to ripple with waves. Threads of profound Great Way mysteries enveloped the Ego Star, weaving into a harmonious pattern.
In the midst of this brilliant radiance, Chen Mu's Ego Star rapidly expanded, like a star growing in size. Within a short period, it grew several times larger, its brilliance far surpassing the other Fate Stars floating in the Source River.
It was at this moment, when the Ego Star was shining brightly, that its position began to change. It started to trace back along the Source River, moving upstream. Neither Creation, Void, nor Seasons could shake this radiant Ego Star; they only stirred up waves beside it.
Finally,
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mu's Ego Star finally reached the end of the Source River. Here, there was a dark singularity, or perhaps "dark" was not the right word, as it defied description by color. This was the end of the Source River, the end of all things, and the end of the Huan Yu cosmos.
Here, besides the deepest and highest Source, there were four other equally brilliant and magnificent Fate Stars floating.
Even Xu Hongyu and the others, upon a single glance, knew that these four majestic Ego Stars belonged to the four supreme Great Way Sovereigns of the Huan Yu: the Yuan Shi Lord, the Primordial Lord, the Vast Expanse Supreme, and the Space-Time Island Lord!
Now,
Under the watchful eyes of all, Chen Mu's Ego Star broke through the constraints of the Source River, moving upstream and reaching the end of the Source River, standing side by side with the four other majestic Ego Stars!
"Brother's realm has advanced further..."
Chen Yue's eyes gleamed with a bright light, her mind clear and transparent.
"Father must have found an opportunity in the Source Sea. His Ego Star moving upstream to the end of the Source River indicates that he has mastered all three Source Ways and advanced to the level of a Supreme Sovereign."
Chen Yao's eyes were also clear, shimmering with ripples. She had grown up listening to countless legends about Chen Mu and had even witnessed his rise firsthand.
Now,
She watched as Chen Mu, emerging from the end of the Huan Yu, ascended to the rank of Sovereign, rescuing them from the dying Huan Yu. During the process of the Huan Yu's end and its rebirth, he found an opportunity in the Source Sea and advanced further, truly reaching the pinnacle of the Way!
From then on, the next Huan Yu rebirth would see the addition of another top-tier force in the Vast Expanse.
Apart from Chen Yue and Chen Yao, others like Hua Nongyue and Qin Mengjun were also amazed by this scene. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yue and Chen Yao, along with other Nine Heavens Deities, suddenly lowered their heads to look at the Source Sea below, which had become incredibly thin, like a dim flame flickering in the wind, about to extinguish.
"The Source Sea is about to die."
"The Huan Yu is about to be reborn."
This thought floated in the minds of Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and the others. They all took deep breaths and looked down carefully.
Buzz!!!
Almost in the next moment, the Source River finally burst forth with a powerful suction force, rapidly absorbing the remaining Source Sea power, causing the already dim Source Sea to quickly dissipate.
At the same time, within the Source Sea, one after another, rays of light were either forcefully expelled or fell out in a somewhat disheveled manner—these were the Great Way Sovereigns who had been exploring the Source Sea.
Once all the Great Way Sovereigns were expelled from the Source Sea, only a tiny remnant remained.
At this moment,
In the vast emptiness, only a few hundred Great Way Sovereigns stood, each gazing at the last remnant of the Source Sea.
The Source River descended from the nine heavens, absorbing the last bit of the Source Sea until it was completely consumed. The Waylight of the Source River then began to converge and retract upward.
As the Source River converged, the place where the vast Huan Yu once existed was now a pure void. Time, space, and the material of Creation no longer existed.
"It's coming."
Chen Mu stood quietly at the edge of the void, looking up at the continuously converging Source River. With a thought, he vanished without a trace.
Swish! Swish! Swish!!!
One by one, the figures of the Great Way Sovereigns disappeared, each dispersing their Way bodies and retaining only their complete Ego Wills, manifesting as Ego Stars floating on the surface of the Source River.
The Source River continuously converged, transforming from a vast river spanning past, present, and future, and the entire Huan Yu, into a clear spring, and then into a single point.
After an unknown amount of time,
Finally,
From that single point, an indescribable brilliance erupted, a power so immense that even the term "world-shattering" fell short. This was beyond human capability and even beyond the power of Great Way Sovereigns.
Even a Supreme Sovereign like Chen Mu could not resist this force. This was the complete convergence and contraction of the Source River, guided by the Supreme Rules, gathering its full strength, and then erupting with an unparalleled power that pierced through time and space!
Under this indescribable, supreme, and boundless power, the void exploded, rapidly expanding. Time and space reordered, flowing like a long river. Creation converged, erupting into a torrent of matter.
The Huan Yu was reborn!
The previous era of the Huan Yu came to a complete end, and the next cycle of the Huan Yu began its initial transformation!
