Chapter 1305: Entering the Trap with One's Own Body

At this moment, within the fourth star ring, the fissure, which was originally one of the four great forbidden zones, completely collapsed.

Everything within it no longer existed.

It became a void.

The very concept of its 'existence' was stripped away, shattered.

Even the chaotic currents of time and space were included, becoming part of the void.

Like an unchangeable constant.

Eternal existence was there.

And outside, whether it was the immortals of the fourth star ring or the divine sovereigns of other star rings, the perception from these supreme beings at this moment was unifiedly locked onto another region.

Heavy.

What they gazed upon was the starry sky near the third star ring within the fourth star ring.

That starry sky was rippling.

As if an existence imperceptible to divine sovereigns was now merging into that starry sky, advancing in an inconceivable manner.

For the life within that starry sky, this scene was invisible and imperceptible in the slightest.

Because it was something they could not comprehend.

Even the divine spirits hidden there were no exception.

That special mode of existence exceeded the limits of their cognition.

It was as if it were merely an abstract concept.

This concept was precisely the old divine sovereign who had escaped from the fissure!

His body covered the starry sky, his thought transcended time and space.

His existence became part of all things, so his speed could not be made concrete.

And he was fleeing.

Wherever he passed, he stirred up a storm that permeated the entire star ring, countless strange lives were born in that storm, and in the next instant died, becoming eternal, becoming heavenly mandate.

Becoming part of the concept, also becoming the force of forward motion.

Thus, he continuously approached the third star ring.

Only his thought, however, was in the ripples.

For he clearly understood that divine sovereigns and divine sovereigns were completely different; even though in the Upper Wasteland, his injuries were obviously severe to the extreme, possessing a half-step divine sovereign rank, he was already at the very peak of the Upper Realm.

Every move of his would tug at the hearts of all divine sovereigns.

Unresistible!

Moreover, he was fully aware that his current state was far from peak condition.

Back then, due to the struggle for divine authority, he was defeated by this generation's divine sovereign of the fourth star ring, and was suppressed by him for countless ages,

continuously sealed, continuously weakened, and now he was extremely weak.

In this state, facing the half-step divine sovereign of the Upper Wasteland, besides fleeing, there was no other way.

"The divine sovereign's umbilical cord cannot be opened for me."

"The path currently laid before me seems only to go to other star rings, to borrow the divine breath of other star rings to accommodate my concept, and thus hide!"

"But the fifth star ring is filled with immortal spirits, unsuitable for hiding the concept of divine authority."

In this concept merged into the starry sky, the old divine sovereign's divine thoughts fluctuated.

After the Upper Wasteland descended, all cause and effect collapsed, countless hidden things were revealed, and this also included traces of external influence.

This caused his omniscience, within this fractured causality, to gradually fill in the missing information.

At the moment of complete completion, the old divine sovereign laughed.

"That immortal sovereign, in terms of scheming, surpasses even divine spirits, and indeed is worthy of being the only one from ancient times to the present who became a sovereign through immortality."

"His initial plan already included me—first combining the thought of the fate diagram, borrowing causality, to drive the fate diagram divine sovereign,

to willingly sacrifice all, enter the divine sovereign's umbilical cord.

Then he led me into the wasteland, driving me away, whose purpose was to let me enter the third star ring, thus paving the way for his next thought.

"He calculated that I would go to the third star ring, for there, I would have a sliver of life."

"And he calculated that I could not enter the fifth star ring—for there, I would surely die!"

"Step by step, ring by ring, as for the origin, it is those two individuals who are themselves the Upper Wasteland's causality!"

Within that concept, the old divine sovereign's divine thoughts surged with strong fluctuation.

His laughter gradually rippled within that concept.

"However, immortal sovereign, you repeatedly use the Upper Wasteland, even though separated by a layer, making the contamination of causality minimal,

but—I truly have no other choice!"

In the next instant, a scene that shocked all observing existence erupted within this concept.

The old divine sovereign actually changed direction, instantly reversing his concept, appearing at—-another position of the fourth star ring!

There, infinitely close to the fifth star ring!

This scene immediately triggered tremors in other star rings.

"Treating me as a pawn"

The concept, in an indescribable way, spread across the junction, and at the moment it invaded the fifth star ring, the old divine sovereign's divine thoughts transmitted throughout the thirty-six star rings of the Upper Realm.

"I, the innate divine spirit, have been exalted all my life, slaughtered countless, walked to divine sovereign, gazing upon the path to divine sovereign—

In the回蕩 of divine thoughts, all divine sovereigns' hearts and spirits surged, and the concept formed by the old divine sovereign, at this moment, truly entered the fifth star ring.

The existence of immortal spirit qi, due to his arrival, burst forth with intense struggle, turned into ripples, and within this repulsion, made the concept shift from formless to having form.

This caused the old divine sovereign's concealment to show a flaw, revealing his terrifying form.

That was a colossal being, its entire body covered in stars, countless tendrils swaying as stars were born and died one after another.

It seemed that its very existence was part of the turning of the star ring.

And its voice still echoed.

"Those who count me in this life cannot escape fate."

"With fate like this, and you—."

This divine thought, in the hearts of all beings in the fifth star ring, rang like heavenly thunder, like endless Lei Ting exploding, making all beings wail and all things wither.

And he himself, in the spreading of this divine thought, actually chose to actively unveil his concealment, making his form more complete and clearer as it appeared in the fifth star ring.

Causing the fate of the fifth star ring to emit unbearable ripples, while countless universes and stars trembled at this moment, as if filled to the limit.

And after unveiling his concealment, the ancient god venerable standing in the fifth star ring bore traces of existence that shone like a startling star.

Attracting endless gazes.

And also attracting his pursuers.

So in the next instant, in the void behind his true form, golden pupils suddenly appeared!

Within them were reflected all beings and things, containing infinite universes, vast to the extreme, while also filled with holiness and inviolability.

This was precisely the Eye of the Upper Wasteland!

Upon appearing in the fifth star ring, the Eye of the Upper Wasteland caused all cultivators of soil in the fifth star ring to have their hearts and minds thunder.

Each felt inexplicable dread in their hearts, palpitations unceasing, and their flesh showed signs of twisting.

The terror that occurred on the Eastern Wanggu continent now manifested in the fifth star ring.

As all beings paled, the Eye of the Upper Wasteland fixed its gaze upon the ancient god venerable ahead!

And the ancient god venerable, at this moment, paid no heed, his eyes cold and indifferent, his expression resolute, his divine thought surging heavenward in this instant, merging his will into it, transforming it into words that startled immortals!

"No being can treat me as a pawn!"

"If you take me as a piece, then—the board collapses and falls!"

In the midst of the ancient god venerable's words, he suddenly turned around, actually facing the Eye of the Upper Wasteland directly.

Allowing himself to show signs of melting under the Eye of the Upper Wasteland's gaze, without dodging!

Only the divine thought surged upward!

"Immortal Venerable, this venerable abandons the vitality of the third star ring, choosing to die so that the aura of the Upper Wasteland may eternally remain in your fifth star ring!"

At the very moment this meaning spread from his words, the ancient god venerable's divinity exploded outward, transforming into countless concepts, becoming a guiding path.

And in the next instant, the gaze of the Upper Wasteland enveloped his form completely, and followed the path formed by his concepts, spreading instantly toward the starry skies in all directions.

The range was vast, covering nearly thirty percent of the fifth star ring!

And afterward, a scene that shocked all beings and gods appeared.

One moment more remained
