Chapter 1341

Lin Yan looked at her.

The Goddess of Life softly uttered a few words: "Light up the dark starry sky!"

Hearing those words, Lin Yan's gaze sharpened!

The Goddess of Life said nothing more, giving Lin Yan time to process it.

Thoughts spun in Lin Yan's mind.

In that brief moment, he had fully understood why the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean had placed their hopes on him!

According to the plan of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean, as long as Lin Yan allowed the Flame Rule to continuously grow and ultimately transcend into the Supreme Rule, he himself would undergo a complete transformation and ascend to supremacy above the Primordial Gods.

To strengthen the Flame Rule, he could choose not only the Continent of Gods.

He could also choose… the boundless dark starry sky.

Which was precisely what the Goddess of Life meant by "light up the dark starry sky!"

This was an astonishingly bold plan.

Even Lin Yan had never considered this direction before.

After all, Lin Yan's primary form was flame, with his divine body as secondary; he had never solely contemplated the growth of his divine body.

The dark starry sky had been utterly extinguished, containing almost no naturally existing stars.

Yet, the dark starry sky was still part of this world.

If Lin Yan wished to strengthen the Flame Rule, he could simply reignite the dark starry sky, creating star after star there.

It was not hard to imagine how immensely the Flame Rule would grow if the entire dark starry sky were truly reignited by Lin Yan!

Lin Yan suddenly understood why such a potent rule had never been controlled by any Primordial God at its inception.

The reason was simple.

When the first Primordial Gods emerged, the starry sky still existed; back then, the Flame Rule's power was likely no less than that of the Space Rule.

Controlling such a powerful Flame Rule would have been extremely difficult.

The early Rule Lords likely avoided the Flame Rule instinctively.

Later, after the dark starry sky went dark and Primordial Gods emerged one after another, by the time some Rule Lords considered taking the weakened Flame Rule, it was already too late.

Because the Primordial Gods of the Heavenly Realm did not wish for any new Primordial Gods to be born.

And the plan the Goddess of Life conceived for Lin Yan had another remarkable advantage.

That was, if executed well, it could remain undetected by other Primordial Gods of the Heavenly Realm for an extremely long time.

How could lighting up the dark starry sky go unnoticed?

The reason was simple.

Light takes time to travel.

The sun of the Heavenly Realm is unique; sunlight emitted from it, when reaching the Continent of Gods, is affected by special rules.

But for Lin Yan to light up the dark starry sky, he only needed to create ordinary stars.

The speed of their light would be the same as light in his world before he crossed over.

Light is, of course, fast.

But how vast is the dark starry sky?

It is equivalent to an entire universe — far too vast.

If he began far enough from the Heavenly Realm — billions of light-years away — the light would take billions of years to reach it.

Visually, this eliminated any possibility of detection by other Primordial Gods.

Thus, he could act without anyone knowing.

But there was still one problem: if the Flame Rule grew strong enough, it would still be detected by other Primordial Gods of the Heavenly Realm.

However, if Lin Yan truly intended to carry out this plan, he had a solution.

He could first sever the connection between the dark starry sky and the Heavenly Realm.

Only when the dark starry sky was nearly fully reignited would he reconnect the two, at which point the Flame Rule would undergo a sudden, complete transformation.

And Lin Yan had even thought of how to sever it.

Yes — the Void Rule.

By creating vast regions of void between the dark starry sky and the Heavenly Realm, and leveraging his control over the Flame Rule, the severance would not be complex.

Moreover, if Lin Yan chose a sufficiently distant location, reconnecting to the Heavenly Realm would not be easy.

After all, the dark starry sky was so vast; starting hundreds of billions of light-years away was entirely feasible.

Also, within the dark starry sky, rules were weak; after becoming a Primordial God, creating a star would be very simple for Lin Yan.

The stars he created were not himself transformed into blazing suns.

If he became a blazing sun himself, it would be too terrifying.

He only needed to create stars like those from his world before he crossed over.

For Lin Yan, who controlled the Flame Rule, achieving this step was simple — and he didn't even need to complete every stage himself.

He only needed to initiate it, then let it evolve naturally.

This process would continuously strengthen the Flame Rule.

In fact, Lin Yan could make the Flame Rule within the dark starry sky stronger than that on the Continent of Gods.

In that brief moment, Lin Yan's mind fully grasped the entire plan of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean.

Their plan was indeed astonishing, bold, and brilliant.

If this plan truly succeeded, Lin Yan might indeed cause the Flame Rule to transcend into the Supreme Rule.

Now the question was:

Should Lin Yan carry out this plan?

The Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Sea looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Clearly, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Sea already knew that Lin Yan had understood the entire plan.

The Goddess of Life said: "We will join forces to conceal the disturbances of the Dark Starry Sky. Under normal circumstances, the Main Gods won't delve too deeply into the Dark Starry Sky, since it is now barren and poses little threat."

"We will also do our utmost to assist you. If, at last, you undergo your transformation and other Main Gods come to stop you, we will buy you time—though this is merely our intention; if you refuse, we won't force you."

After the Goddess of Life finished speaking, the Goddess of the Sea said: "Actually, you don't need to answer us right away. There's something more important right now."

Lin Yan turned his gaze toward her.

The Goddess of the Sea said: "This war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm may bring you some trouble."

The Goddess of Life nodded and said: "Yes. Originally, during this war, the Main Gods wouldn't engage each other directly. But now, the Abyssal Main Gods are likely to surround and attack you, while the Light Main Gods will likely stand by and let others do the killing for them!"

At the level of Main Gods, all under heaven are pawns.

From the height of a Main God, many things appear vastly different.

The war between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss, occurring once every ten thousand years, is in fact a tacit understanding between the Heavenly Realm's Main Gods and the Abyssal Main Gods.

It is meant to weaken the strength of both the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss, preventing either from growing without limit.

Of course, as always, the Heavenly Realm currently holds dominance; if possible, the Abyss would still prefer to destroy the Heavenly Realm and become the dominant force.

But overall, both the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss are still operating within the rules of the game.

The Abyss also has its own hidden agendas.

Originally, barring unforeseen events, the Abyssal Main Gods planned to let Rasoya gain more Killing Laws through successive wars, then become the new Killing Main God to strengthen the Abyss's power.

The previous Killing Main God of the Abyss perished; in Lin Yan's current view, this was very likely a warning from the Heavenly Realm.

From the perspective of the Light Main Gods, they had originally preserved the Abyss merely to maintain balance and prevent the Heavenly Realm from repeating the fate of the Ancient Gods.

But the Abyss has grown too strong, threatening the Heavenly Realm's position, so the Heavenly Realm's Main Gods decided to deliver a warning.

Thus, the Killing Main God perished.

Of course, the exact cause and process of the death were certainly complex, but this was roughly how it happened.

But Lin Yan crushed the Abyss's hidden agenda—he killed Rasoya right under the Main Gods' noses.

And now, Lin Yan himself has become a Main God, a thorn in the eyes of the Abyssal Main Gods.

The Abyssal Main Gods still do not know that Lin Yan killed Rasoya, but during this war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm, the Abyssal Main Gods will undoubtedly seek trouble for Lin Yan.

And the other Main Gods of the Heavenly Realm will, without doubt, stand by and do nothing.

In fact, there is a certain possibility they will act directly.

After all, when Lin Yan ascended to Main God, the Main God who intervened had his Main God Weapon forged by Lin Yan into the two legs of Wang Zuo—an immense insult to that Main God's dignity.

Of course, that Main God daring to intervene was already an insult to Lin Yan's dignity.

A grudge has been formed.

We'll see whether that Heavenly Realm Main God will strike directly.
