Chapter 285: Resonance of the World

Wang Zhize's will became the sole lever that pries the World.

"Activate!"

At the command, the reconstructed Heaven‑worship Altar, whose super conduit woven from billions of runes, was fully activated at this moment!

Boom——!!!

Light!

An indescribably brilliant golden light surged from the top of the Heaven‑worship Altar, instantly tearing the dark clouds over the Imperial City and turning the entire sky into a sacred golden sea.

The chaotic Dao Pill locked in midair by an invisible mighty force emitted a sharp lament from the law‑level.

It sensed the irresistible pull.

It was no longer a trap, no longer guidance.

It was a naked declaration of devouring from the other "World"!

Deep within the Dao Pill's core, the "Void Seed" bearing high‑dimensional will erupted in full fury.

It no longer disguised, no longer tempted, and unleashed the most primal, pure Void energy.

Heh heh heh—

The ash‑black energy, like a dam‑bursting toxic flood, raged outward, each strand capable of corroding space and erasing law, intent on completely bursting the "cage" that dared to offend it!

Yet, the raging energy had barely spilled half an inch before it was shrouded by an even more domineering, more greedy darkness.

Gurgle…… So cramped!

Wang Zhitao grinned widely, standing at the edge of the Heaven‑worship Altar; his body turned into an endless black vortex that swallowed all the stray Void energy.

The destructive power that could turn calamity‑level masters into ash in an instant entered his mouth, yet it seemed only like a slightly scorching delicacy.

He smacked his lips while enjoying, squinting his eyes.

As the torrent of Void energy surged in, ancient, arcane gray runes began to appear on his skin, each seeming to come alive and wander across his body, making his aura increasingly unfathomable.

"Brother, this thing… its power is huge!"

He shouted excitedly.

At that moment, high above the nine heavens, the golden‑lit sky suddenly split open with a pitch‑black fissure.

It was not a physical tear.

It was a conceptual fault.

As if a perfect painting were forcibly gouged of a piece by an invisible hand.

A vague, indescribable phantom slowly emerged from the black fissure.

Void Walker!

It could not manifest its true form, yet its will already crossed dimensions, casting a fragment capable of intervening in reality.

The phantom had no facial features or shape, merely existing there, causing the entire Imperial City's space to warp and time flow to become chaotic.

It sensed its "seed" being forcibly stripped away, the greatest desecration to this high‑dimensional sower!

The phantom moved.

It did not launch an energy attack, but directly struck Wang Zhize's Small World with a conceptual‑level impact.

【World, return to Void!】

【Creation, is an error!】

【Your existence should be erased!】

The silent proclamation became the most terrifying weapon, directly bombarding the invisible "World Gate" at Wang Zhize's forehead.

Buzz—

Wang Zhize's figure jolted violently.

The Small World within his body was turned upside down in that instant!

The Life Tree's branches withered wildly, the Death River rose with towering waves, the newly formed sun, moon, and stars trembled on the brink of collapse, as if the entire World would meet its end in the next second, returning to chaos.

It was a denial of the very concept of "World" from a higher dimension!

Yet Wang Zhize's gaze remained as calm as an ancient deep pool.

He stood at the center of his own world, his will becoming a pillar that supports the heavens.

"I define: phantom, as Void."

Outside World, that terrifying phantom's outline instantly became transparent, like a pencil sketch erased by a rubber, dissolving inch by inch in reluctant distortion.

"I define: law, as reality."

Within the Small World, each word he uttered turned into a Creation Decree.

The Withering Life Tree blossomed anew with radiant vitality.

The raging Death River instantly calmed, restoring its eternal flow.

The trembling sun, moon, and stars were re‑anchored by an invisible force, emitting a more stable, brighter radiance.

The conceptual shock from the Void Walker not only failed to dismantle his world, but he forcibly intercepted, parsed, and absorbed it with the authority of the Lord of Creation!

Countless shattered law fragments tinged with Void were forcibly digested by the Small World's law system, merging within it.

A flash of insight flickered in Wang Zhize's eyes.

So that's it.

Void is not purely destruction.

It is also a law of "nothing", the opposite of "something", an indispensable part of a complete cosmos.

This Void Walker does not seek destruction but aims to "assimilate", turning this World into a "Void nursery" suitable for its existence.

And its power, for its own Small World, turned out to be an unprecedented tonic!

"Thank you for the gift."

Wang Zhize lifted his eyes, gazed at the pitch‑black fissure where the illusion had completely vanished, and a playful curl formed at the corner of his mouth.

……

Inside the Imperial City, atop the palace wall.

Li Hu and Zhang Mei stared at the sky in horror.

There, at times golden light blazed across the heavens, holy and vast; at other times space warped, as if an invisible colossal beast were gnawing the world.

That oppressive pressure made even standing unbearably hard for them, their souls emitting cries of unbearable burden.

"Sir... what exactly is he fighting?"

Li Hu's voice was extremely hoarse; for the first time he felt so clearly that the gap between him and the sir was no longer a chasm that effort could bridge, but a heavenly trench separating mortals from deities.

Zhang Mei said nothing, merely gripping her longsword tightly, her knuckles whitening from the strain.

That sense of helplessness almost drowned her Dao heart.

"What we can do," Lord Zhao, the Deputy Minister of War, said in a trembling voice with near‑fanatical reverence, "is to guard this place for the sir, preventing any scoundrels from disturbing the arrival of the divine miracle!"

Li Hu and Zhang Mei exchanged a glance, the bewilderment and helplessness in their eyes gradually replaced by a decisive sharpness.

They could not aid the sir.

But they could become the sir's most reliable backing!

The two, without hesitation, immediately activated the newly mastered Break Array power, helping Lord Zhao stabilize the Arrays in the city that were on the verge of collapse amid the spatial distortion, and pacifying the restless crowd.

……

At the summit of the Sacrificial Heaven Platform.

During the brief clash with the Void Walker, Wang Zhize gained a completely new understanding of the authority of the Lord of the World.

Definition is not merely alteration.

It is creation!

When his mind shifted, the great force pulling the Dao Pill suddenly accelerated!

Bzzzz—

The Chaos Dao Pill finally made contact with the barrier at the edge of his small world.

Between them, a violent resonance of laws erupted.

It was like two massive magnets, after crossing the critical point, unleashing an irresistible mutual attraction!

"Brother, I can't hold it, I'm going to vomit!"

Wang Zhitao's black vortex surged violently; the void energy he devoured had reached its limit, and he felt his whole body being stretched into a ball.

But he did not stop; instead, he transformed the refined, purest energy into massive streams of primordial life force, injecting them remotely into Wang Zhize's body, bearing the terrifying law‑counterpressure for him.

From the depths of the void came a roar mingled with astonishment, anger, and incredulity.

That humble "Furnace Core", that tiny "Insect"...

He was not only stealing his own "Seed", but also using the power he cast to nourish his barren "Back Garden"!

What madness! What audacity!

Yet everything was already too late.

Under Wang Zhize's absolute will, with the full pull of the Sacrificial Heaven Platform's energy conduits, and Wang Zhitao's cost‑free assistance—

That Chaos Dao Pill, bearing high‑dimensional mysteries, was finally drawn completely and wholly into Wang Zhize's forehead!

Boom——!!!!

The instant the Dao Pill's phantom vanished,

Wang Zhize's entire small world seemed to be hurled into a creative singularity.

Endless light and heat erupted with a thunderous blast!

The whole world was, at that moment, engulfed by blindingly intense radiance.

When the light faded,

the original world barrier vanished, replaced by a vast, profound chaotic void where countless nebulae slowly formed and spun.

The earth expanded by more than ten thousand times, new mountain ranges rose from the ground straight into the clouds.

The oceans grew deeper, and within them strange beings shimmering with the brilliance of laws were being nurtured.

Above the sky, it was no longer sun and moon shining together, but a dazzling river of stars!

The most fundamental change was the swallowed "Void Seed"; it was firmly sealed at the very center of the world, bound by countless newly‑born law chains, becoming a massive furnace that continuously refined and analyzed, supplying the newborn universe with the most primal concept of "Void".

At the summit of the Sacrificial Heaven Platform, gale howled.

Wang Zhize slowly opened his eyes.

His figure remained unchanged, his appearance unaltered.

But his aura was now worlds apart.
