Chapter 1268: Borrow the Wish to Trace the Source!

Outside Eastern Wanggu, in the starry sky, the silver-gold light sea surged with immense pressure, possessing the force to crush withered wood and break rotten stalks, pressing toward the Mother River God Sovereign.

The entire starry sky trembled, and the Mother River God Sovereign's divine form violently retreated.

Yet the law-power chain that penetrates ancient times to the future, crossing all dimensions, had already firmly locked it in place.

And the power from this chain transformed into countless silver threads, rushing straight toward its divinity, seeking to erode it!

This sight caused the Mother River God Sovereign's expression to darken, its pupils contracted, and waves of intense palpitations arose in its mind and spirit.

It had never imagined that divine-form reconstruction would happen to itself.

Such an ability, it had never heard of before!

"This matter is strange; the karma of the Upper Wasteland cannot possibly be so easy!"

"Here, there must be other drawbacks!"

"Moreover, the fusion of immortal and divine, though rare throughout history, does exist; yet any such fusion requires complex rituals and preparation, carries great risk, and most are highly unstable."

"But this person actually completed it instantly—this… I do not believe it!"

After these thoughts flashed through the Mother River God Sovereign's mind, its divinity within its body, under this erosion, flashed with brilliant golden light, fully resisting the law-power from the chain.

Moreover, in this resistance, its voice also fiercely echoed back.

"I wish that those who oppose me shall have their souls rot!"

"I wish that those who affect my divinity shall be unable to take a single step!"

"I wish that those who harbor ill will toward me shall have their lifespans self-ignite!"

"I wish that those who strike against me shall share my wounds!"

"I wish that my divinity shall be immortal!"

"I see how you will reconstruct my divinity!"

The Mother River God Sovereign's divine might directly spread, enveloping the starry sky; the power from its divinity also fully erupted at this moment, forming terrifying wish-power, influencing rules, influencing laws, and even exerting a certain degree of guidance on the star rings.

Manifested outwardly… even Xu Qing's body jerked at this moment.

His soul at this moment showed signs of decay.

His body at this instant had its speed greatly reduced.

His vitality at this moment further showed signs of burning.

And the chains entwined around the Mother River God Sovereign similarly showed signs of cracking—this was the wound-sharing wish taking effect.

The Mother River Spirit, after all, is a God Sovereign!

Its level is comparable to Xu Qing's Constitution Law.

Even though only a partial divine-power-formed body appears here now, it is certainly not ordinary.

Especially the wish-power, which faintly transcends karma and carries a trace of power to trace back to the source.

After all, wishing is itself one of the innate abilities of all beings and a major component of the divine-spirit system.

However, Xu Qing's composed expression did not change because of this; on the contrary, he revealed a strange look.

He gazed at the Mother River God Sovereign ahead, his calm voice echoing back.

"I have also studied wish-power; this power is extraordinary… possessing the ability to trace back to the source.

And I am not truly trying to reconstruct your divinity; I only wish to bind you, prevent you from leaving, and then… use your wish-source to verify some mysteries for me."

As Xu Qing spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed at the Mother River God Sovereign.

From his mouth came a divine tone, carrying ancient meaning, spreading through time and space.

"Jin Wu!"

The instant these two words were spoken, the surrounding silver-gold light sea violently churned; Xu Qing's Constitution Law shook the Mother River God Sovereign's divinity, drawing it forth, forming a tracing power.

Falling into the silver-gold sea, in the next instant, a cry from the Jin Wu shattered the void, bursting forth fiercely from within the light sea.

Immediately afterward, within that light sea, there rose… Xu Qing's memory of the Dragon Carriage!

Moreover, a giant stood before the Dragon Carriage, pulling it up from the sea.

This scene was magnificent and grand.

Around them, heavenly music echoed back, exquisite and unparalleled.

And within the Dragon Carriage, a seated figure could be vaguely seen.

Wearing imperial robes, wearing an imperial crown, not an emperor, but… the Crown Prince!

The Jin Wu Crown Prince of the ancient Huangtian Divine Clan, who willingly became the sun!

He was resurrected from time and space by Xu Qing, who reorganized him with his own Constitution Law, borrowing wish-power.

At the same time, he was endowed with the might of Constitution Law!

At this moment of manifestation, the light of the Jin Wu burst endlessly from the Dragon Carriage; the Jin Wu Crown Prince within had already risen to his feet and stepped forward.

Forming… a sun of the Jin Wu!

Charging straight at the Mother River God Sovereign, whose movement was restricted by the chains!

From afar, the Jin Wu Sun could be seen, blazing to the extreme—it is both sun and Jin Wu, and moreover… a forbidden spear that seems to pierce through everything!

The Mother River God Sovereign's mind and spirit trembled; its divine power dispersed outward, blocking the Jin Wu.

Yet Xu Qing's attack continued.

After merging with the divine body, some powers that could not be used in the Fifth Star Ring before… have now returned.

And all have been reorganized and elevated by Constitution Law, combined with wish-power, causing the essence hidden within these divine arts and techniques to gradually reveal itself.

"Poison Ban!"

The instant these two words were spoken from Xu Qing's mouth, in his surroundings, within the silver-gold light sea, a third color suddenly appeared.

It was black!

Thread by thread, strand by strand, layer by layer, ultimately forming mist!

In that mist, a colossal beast's phantom could be vaguely seen!

Merely an outline, and very blurry, yet at the moment it appeared, there was actually an aura of a divine sovereign!

But it was not real, not even a projection—more like an essential manifestation of the poisonous curse after its atavistic return.

At this moment, it spread toward the Mother River Divine Sovereign.

This scene also caused Xu Qing's mind and spirit to tense.

Although Xu Qing had some guesses and clues about the origin and source of the poisonous curse, it remained unknown until now… gazing at that colossal beast, Xu Qing finally found the answer in his heart.

"So that's how it is…"

At the instant Xu Qing inwardly comprehended, the Mother River Divine Sovereign, gazing at the beast's shadow within the poisonous mist, felt its inner turmoil surge intensely once more.

"It is the Giant Spirit Divine Sovereign—this is the divine authority emanating from the Giant Spirit Divine Sovereign!"

It naturally knows that in the Ninth Star Ring, there exist four divine sovereigns!

To the east of the Star Ring lies a slumbering colossal beast.

To the north of the Star Ring flows the golden Mother River.

To the south of the Star Ring stands a towering, astonishing black pagoda.

To the west of the Star Ring sits a terrifying paper figure in meditation.

And now, the wish-force drawing oneself is actually forming a divine sovereign—this causes the Mother River Divine Sovereign's heart to tremble, its divine authority quivering.

A strong sense of crisis erupts continuously; it wishes to stop, to sever, but cannot do so for now.

As for Xu Qing, he pays no heed to the Mother River Divine Sovereign, now staring at the beast's phantom, narrowing his eyes.

"It, like the Mother River, is laying out plans for Wanggu…"

Xu Qing murmured inwardly, then raised his hand and waved again.

"Red Moon!"

Upon these words, the Moon-Sacrificing Great Domain on the Wanggu Continent surged, and in the starry sky, a red moon rose, emitting a scarlet, eerie radiance.

Within that moon, the shadow of the Red Mother could be faintly seen.

This very shadow that once brought Xu Qing terrifying pressure is now merely an upper deity, yet in Xu Qing's canon, he could bestow upon it greater divine realms!

But Xu Qing did not act immediately; he gazed beside the Red Mother's shadow…

There, under the resonance of the canon with wish-force, another figure actually appeared once more!

That is… Li Zihua!

As the essential manifestation of divine power, arising through wish-force, this appearance of Li Zihua is likewise vague and without will, yet the aura emanating from him…

is actually that of a Divine Sovereign!

"Senior Li Zihua, indeed stunningly peerless!"

Xu Qing, lost in thought, activated the authority of the Red Moon and rushed toward the Mother River Divine Sovereign.

The Mother River Divine Sovereign's inner anxiety intensified, constantly blocking, yet somewhat relieved, silently hoping it was not a divine sovereign…

But just then, Xu Qing waved his hand and pressed down again.

"Then let's see other divine powers—where is their essential source!"

"Ghost Emperor Mountain!"

In an instant, a supreme mountain rose from the golden-silver sea of light!

It was a humanoid shadow in meditation, its aura ordinary, yet under the support of Xu Qing's canon, behind this mountain, a… black bronze tower suddenly appeared!

As the bronze tower emerged, the aura of a divine sovereign instantly manifested.

Xu Qing's gaze deepened; at this moment, he finally understood the origin of Ghost Emperor Mountain.

Like the poisonous curse, what it represents behind is still the layout of one of the four divine sovereigns of the Ninth Star Ring.

And this scene after scene has already caused the Mother River Divine Sovereign's heart to be overwhelmed by towering waves; at this moment, its divine nature directly developed a crack.

"You… you…"

The Mother River Divine Sovereign cried out in grief; before today, it never imagined seeing so many terrifying existences' layouts on a human's body.

"Multiple divine sovereign layouts upon him—this person… why is he like this? Is it the divine sovereigns laying layouts on him, or is he attracting everything?!"

"If this continues, my divine nature need not be reshaped by him—it cannot endure on its own!"

The Mother River Divine Sovereign, its mind and spirit trembling.

And Xu Qing, here, his emotions fluctuating, his eyes revealing strange radiance.

"Then… Zhaoxia Light!"

Xu Qing's entire body flashed with rosy light; the Zhaoxia Light he had comprehended in the past now shone outward in this instant.

In a moment, it enveloped all directions.

This light, Xu Qing previously did not understand, only knowing it could simulate all laws, allowing any divine power to be mimicked.

But now, under the support of his own canon, he finally saw clearly.

It is one ten-thousandth of a mysterious light revered by the Celestial Heaven Divine Clan!

And tracing back further, it is the first ray of light that formed Wanggu.

The Mother River Divine Sovereign wailed again; its divine nature emitted a 'crack-crack' sound—it had become utterly frantic, constantly trying to break free from the state of being borrowed.

"Finally not a layout of a divine sovereign!"

Xu Qing inwardly comprehended, paying no heed to the Mother River Divine Sovereign, and spoke in a low shout.

"Ding Yisaner!"

The Ding Yisaner prison, amid the Mother River Divine Sovereign's another wail, suddenly erupted from time itself.

Within its many cells, numerous figures appeared one after another—painters, heads, stone lions, scarecrows, grindstones, and divine hands.

And compared to them, Xu Qing valued more the extremely special existence within Ding Yisaner.

That little boy from back then!

His figure appeared within Ding Yisaner, emerging from a mass of mist, standing dazed there, and at that moment, the distant Eastern Wanggu Continent trembled with a boom.

Fortune, surging!

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with strange light; he knew that the little boy within his Ding Yisaner was himself fortune!

And now, with the power of wishful thinking, combined with his own constitutional reconstruction, this little boy has gathered once more!

"Excellent, and there is... the most mysterious one!"

Before this, Xu Qing had obtained such an item in the Earth Palace, its origin extremely mysterious.

He only knew that it seemed the royal dynasties that had once unified Eastern Wanggu Continent throughout history were all collecting it.

Rumors said it contained the secrets of Eastern Wanggu's formation!

"Now, by borrowing the innate power of wishful thinking, let's see what secrets this item truly holds!"

Xu Qing's pupils flashed with sharp light; amidst the mournful cries of the Mother River God Sovereign, he raised his right hand and pressed forward!

"The Vessel of Light and Time!"
