Chapter 2: Breaking the Origin

The two brothers exchanged a smile; Huang Yingkong naturally trusted his elder brother without reservation, but lacking such an unprecedented element, he always felt as if he were being coaxed.

"Mother giving birth to a child is perfectly normal, but how did the first woman to give birth know she had this ability? Including the child's father, how did he know that this woman before him could bear children?"

What praise this is—before even the grand wedding, they have already lifted Wan Wujiang to the heavens; once he becomes emperor, the Wan family can be said to stand above ten thousand, beneath only one.

"Where does your affection for her come from? You've never even talked alone."

"But we've been dating in our dreams all along."

Upon hearing that, the Second Prince burst out laughing; it was clear the elder brother remained as composed as ever, but his heart wavered—the elder brother's element was clearly stone, so how could he send dreams to others?

Even if one could connect via stone while sleeping, how could the lofty Crown Prince sleep on a stone? There's no reason for the General's daughter, the miss of the manor, to sleep on a stone either.

"As long as you link to the ground, it doesn't matter whether beneath is jade or gold."

"Even so, dreams aren't something you can control… wait…"

He suddenly realized, understood—his sister‑in‑law could.

Even dreams can be controlled, yet he finds fault with his sister‑in‑law in every way; the Second Prince feels somewhat guilty, and the Crown Prince, seeing his meaning, says: "Stay away from her as much as possible, so others think you were slapped in the face and don't want to see her."

"Please handle passing on that matter, Elder Brother."

After the Second Prince finished speaking, he left immediately; his talk with the Crown Prince had likely already been noticed by someone—such words cannot be let anyone hear, not even the father emperor, lest they be spoken lightly.

As for the General's manor, guests come daily bearing gifts; regardless of their thoughts, the General accepts them all without hesitation, as if he pays no heed to others' gossip.

Spies from other countries also feel doubtful; such a major matter must not be reported incorrectly—if there is an error, it should be the adults' misjudgment, not me forwarding false information from the start.

Great River Empire.

In the Grand Marshal's manor.

"Better to believe it exists than not; following the Crown Prince of Summer Brilliance's words, while she hasn't grown yet, let her become nothing."

(To be continued, please turn the page).

After the order was issued, another voice echoed in the empty room; an ordinary person hearing it couldn't tell whether it was male or female, human or ghost!

"As Grand Marshal, how could your mind be like this? Do you only allow our troops to employ deceit while forbidding others from creating something from nothing?"

"How could I not allow others to act cleverly? I simply prefer to make them vanish before they show off, for delay brings change—do you understand?"

As a commander who favors a deadly single strike, Grand Marshal Ge Feng has always been thus—if he can kill in one blow, he doesn't even give a second glance; he has mastered dozens of signature techniques solely to send the enemy westward as soon as possible.

Many once devoted themselves to studying how to block his one‑move victory or stop him in one strike, but without exception they were defeated by reality.

It is precisely this demeanor that has brought him to his present stature—only he slaughters people, and no one slaughters him.

Moreover, as a commander he is well versed in strategy; anyone who tries to play games of reality and deception with him lacks the wit to do so—it's merely self‑conceit.

"Of course I understand; that Crown Prince still thinks they've cleared out all our spies—how young he is."

The voice gave a smirk lacking goodwill, and these words immediately caught the Grand Marshal's attention.

"How do you know he thinks he's cleared out our spies?"

"I not only know what he's thinking, I also know you'll ask me how I know his thoughts, and I also know you intend to kill me because I've become a threat to you."

The source of the voice suddenly appeared in the room; before the Grand Marshal could utter a word, that dark, murky mist vanished.

The Grand Marshal himself twisted his wrist, and his formerly white teeth turned blood‑red—clearly he was no longer the original Grand Marshal.

"My innate element is a black hole—not bad, not bad. This time you can never defeat me again, Wan Wujiang!"

He flickered and instantly appeared above the Myriad Origin Continent, in the vacuum of the universe; a singularity suddenly collapsed, and in that instant an incomparable terrifying force spread, so that every powerhouse in the world felt at that moment the horror from beyond the heavens!

"This is a black hole that not even a hundred million Ge Fengs could create—you disgraceful little planet, be destroyed!"

Accompanied by that person's howl, a burst of gamma rays shot out from within the black hole; the entire continent was not under this force.

(To be continued, please turn the page).

It collapsed after just one second, turning to ash and smoke.

"Hahaha, once I go to the Upper Realm and utterly eradicate reincarnation, you will vanish from all dimensions! In this universe there is only zero dimension—no past, present, or future!"

Having said that, the person vanished above the former Myriad Origin; now, Myriad Origin doesn't even have a speck of soil.

"Creation from nothing."

I don't know who said it, but Wan Wujiang felt the voice was familiar; yet to the people of the Myriad Origin Continent, they merely saw a flash of white light and then remained where they were.

Not even half an hour later, someone appeared beside the Crown Prince.

"You mean everyone saw that flash of white light just now, without exception?"

"Yes, not only in Summer Brilliance, but the opposite side of the planet saw it too. Some say it's the destructive light from a black hole, because a black hole of enormous mass indeed just appeared."

The black hole appeared suddenly and then vanished just as quickly; the Crown Prince thought of Wan Wujiang, but she hardly has the strength to oppose a black hole—perhaps someone from the Upper Realm lent a hand.

"Such power is far beyond what a Divine Origin Realm cultivator could possess—so what realm lies above that?"

Those who have gone to the Upper Realm never return; although many believe they silently guard the Lower Realm from above, there are always doubters who think they are dead or, having ascended, simply do not wish to come back.

The Lower Realm faces no great calamity; merely, once one reaches the Divine Origin Realm, further progress becomes impossible, and some think that since those from the Upper Realm cannot descend, they might as well reign as kings on the Myriad Origin Continent.

No one wishes to go to the Upper Realm and fall from being a regional overlord to a mere nobody.

"Besides, there's another major matter: the surrounding states have all sent envoys to visit our country, saying the Grand Marshal of the Great River Empire has inexplicably lost his aim, and the Crown Princess was born expressly to clean him up."

The Great River Empire's Grand Marshal is gone! He is a formidable foe—if not for the General, Summer Brilliance would have been destroyed by him long ago.

Yet such a major event occurred, and everyone else is fine—only he is missing, making it hard not to suspect.

But just as the two were pondering, a stone pillar collapsed with a boom; in an instant mountains and rivers shattered, stars fell, and tens of thousands of meteors tore across the sky, hurtling straight toward the Myriad Origin that had just been restored!

"The Upper Realm—destroyed!"
