Chapter 168: Prophecy is merely a branch of fate

However, although the process is somewhat similar, the purpose and result are completely different!

This thought arose in his mind, Feng Yi's spiritual sense twitched slightly, the illusory Bagua in his eyes circulated, and he subconsciously turned his gaze toward the direction of the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm.

After a moment, the omen in his eyes faded, and he whispered: "The time has come; perhaps it's time to emerge!"

The moment his words fell, Feng Yi's aura shifted slightly, and an immense pressure rose, causing all the myriad laws of the entire universe to tremble slightly, making everyone's hearts shudder.

In the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, each Light and Dark Chief God's pupils shifted slightly, subconsciously looking toward the Primeval Plane, a hint of fear impossible to conceal appearing in their eyes.

At that very moment, they seemed to sense that the balance law, silent for countless ages, had awakened, exuding a supreme aura that made even these chief gods fearful.

However, in just a short million years, has that Primeval Chief God actually mastered the balance law?

This thought arose in their minds, and the Light and Dark Chief Gods' hearts filled with endless fear.

No, we can't delay any longer!

Thinking this through, the Light and Dark Chief Gods' divine senses communicated for a moment, instantly reaching agreement.

In the next instant, strands of light and dark divine power imbued with vast divine might emerged from the Chief God's Realm, all converging toward the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm.

In an instant, the aura of the black shadow within the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm surged rapidly.

The Fourteenth Chief God, who originally would have needed hundreds of millions of years to fully recover, quickly reached his peak state under the combined effort of the Light and Dark Chief Gods.

Obviously, compared to this Fourteenth Chief God who had lost half of his origin and had not truly succeeded in his conception, the Primeval human chief god who seemed to have mastered the balance law inspired greater dread and fear among the Light and Dark Chief Gods, to the extent that they were unwilling to let this Fourteenth Chief God fully recover.

Roar!

A roar erupted from the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm, instantly shaking the entire Demon Realm.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure surpassing everything rose from the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm, sweeping across the entire Demon Realm, causing all demon gods to instinctively prostrate themselves.

This is the chief god's pressure!

Boom

In the next moment, amidst the dazed gazes of all powerhouses across the myriad planes, an immensely huge black shadow stepped out from the Ninth Layer of the Demon Realm and directly entered the cosmic void.

Endless killing qi continually gathered from all corners of the universe, flowing into the black shadow's body, finally merging into a divine seal on his brow, as if this black shadow were the master of slaughter for the entire universe.

At the same time, unlike ordinary chief gods, besides a divine seal exuding endless killing qi, the black shadow's brow also bore another special divine seal containing the aura of endless vicissitudes of time.

This divine seal does not absorb the universe's divine power, but seems connected to some eternal, flowing special force of the universe, giving a sense of immortality where past and future coexist.

This is one of the most special divine seals in this universe, the Time Divine Seal.

Under the balance law, the time law can be considered one of the most profound laws of the universe, and is one of the foundations of the universe.

And as the innate King of Gods, the Fourteenth Chief God governs this one of the most profound laws.

Had the balance law not prevented the birth of this Fourteenth Chief God, preventing him from truly succeeding in his conception, his mastery of the time law would inevitably allow him to gradually control the entire universe, surpassing all Light and Dark Chief Gods.

In the Demon Realm.

The Demon Emperor stared blankly at the colossal black shadow standing in the cosmic void, feeling the endless pressure emanating from it, his eyes showing an incredulous expression.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, somewhat exasperatedly muttering: "Xierluo, you didn't say that after releasing the Fourteenth Chief God, we would split his divine seals and each ascend to chief god status? Now he seems to be about to directly ascend to chief god status."

I

A somewhat confused voice emanated from within the Demon Emperor's body, and Xierluo seemed to have fallen into some kind of confusion as well.

Just then, the void before the Demon Emperor split open, revealing a realm filled with endless dark divine power.

Pressure!

A pressure that makes all living beings feel fear emanated from within the chief god's realm inside the crack, causing the Demon Emperor's mind and spirit to tremble uncontrollably.

That is.

The Demon Emperor's pupils shifted slightly, seeing within the crack's god realm a crystal emitting a familiar aura.

Divine seal.

Xierluo, your divine seal.

This is your chief god's realm.

Before his words finished, a fearful voice from Xierluo suddenly sounded from within his body: "No, that is not."

Before his words finished, Xierluo's voice abruptly cut off.

Thereafter, in the Demon Emperor's incredulous gaze, an illusory soul body emerged directly from his own body, merging into that crystal within the god realm, transforming into a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

But that was not Xierluo's figure, but

Primeval Chief God.

Upon seeing that figure, the Demon Emperor let out a cry of alarm, and a thought arose in his heart that filled him with extreme fear.

Xierluo had already been controlled by the Primeval Chief God at the moment of his slaughter, and everything he did was under the secret guidance of that Primeval Chief God.

Prophecy is merely a branch of fate!

Since the Lord of Fate has already appeared, how could Xierluo, the chief god who governs the Way of Prophecy, still exist?

He deliberately released the Fourteenth Chief God!

Why?

At that moment, the figure within Xierluo's chief god's realm suddenly glanced indifferently at the Demon Emperor.

In an instant, with no strength to resist, the Demon Emperor directly turned into nothingness, as if his existence had been erased.

This is the might of the chief god who governs the law of fate!

This thought arose in his mind, the Demon Emperor reflecting on his hundreds of millions of years of cultivation, couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion:

Under the chief god, all are ants!

In the next moment, his consciousness completely sank into darkness.

The void returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

In the Abyss of Darkness, some Dark Chief Gods seemed to sense something, subconsciously looking toward Xierluo's chief god's realm.

But seeing that it appeared to be a backup left by Xierluo, fusing with his own divine seal to revive himself, these Dark Chief Gods also did nothing further.

Now the Light and Dark Chief God's greatest enemy is the Primeval Chief God; everything else can be let go.

Primeval Plane, summit of the Holy Mountain.

Feng Yi gazed with deep, profound eyes at the Fourteenth Chief God in the void, his aura constantly undergoing changes.

As the Fourteenth Chief God ascended to the position of Chief God, triggering changes in the laws of the entire universe, Feng Yi's grasp of the Balance Law grew ever deeper.

"Chief God."

A voice rang out from behind Feng Yi; Feng Yun Wuji completely fused with the original fate line's memories and insights, and woke up.

His aura became somewhat indifferent, and faintly it gave people a feeling similar to that of a Chief God.

However, his aura still fell short of that of a Chief God; he had never become a true Chief God.

Gazing at the vast dark shadow in the cosmic void, Feng Yun Wuji's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

Having obtained the memories of the original fate line, Feng Yun Wuji was not unfamiliar with this scene before him.

This was the scene when the Fourteenth Chief God reascended to the position of Chief God.

Now he has understood that the Fourteenth Chief God and the Primeval Human Race are true mortal enemies, a case of one cannot coexist with the other, because the Primeval Human Race is formed from half of the Fourteenth Chief God's primordial essence.

Thinking this through, Feng Yun Wuji spoke: "Chief God, should we intervene to stop it?"

"No need."

Feng Yi's eyes flowed with countless streams of information; he spoke calmly: "I have need of Him ascending to the position of Chief God."

Having said this, Feng Yi turned to look at Feng Yun Wuji, sensing the changes in him, and said: "Perfect, taking advantage of this opportunity, now is also the time for you to ascend to the position of Chief God."

"Me?"

Feng Yun Wuji blinked slightly, and blurted out: "At this time?"

"Exactly, precisely this time."

Feng Yi glanced at the primordial source deep in the universe, and spoke leisurely: "The emergence of the two Chief Gods: one who governs many laws and is deeply entangled with the Balance Law, the Fourteenth Chief God; the other is an unprecedented triune deity, which will inevitably break the universe's balance, triggering turbulence in the Balance Law that runs through the universe's primordial source—this is also my opportunity to fully master the Balance Law."

"So that's how it is!"

A glimmer of realization appeared in Feng Yun Wuji's eyes; then he spoke resolutely: "Since that's the case, Chief God, I'm leaving; I entrust the future Primeval to you."

The moment his words fell, Feng Yun Wuji's silhouette instantly turned into a sword light, appearing in the void beyond the Primeval.

To attain the position of Chief God, one must align one's divinity with the Great Dao law, drawing forth the infinite divine power contained within the Great Dao law to refine one's essence, energy, and spirit, undergoing a thorough transformation from mortal to deity.

However, with the Balance Law protecting it, the Primeval Plane, which can isolate the Great Dao law, naturally cannot accomplish this step.

Therefore, both the Fourteenth Chief God and Feng Yun Wuji need to enter the cosmic void to complete their own breakthrough.

Summit of the Holy Mountain.

Gazing at the two figures in the cosmic void that triggered changes in the Great Dao law, shadows of the Four Sacred Spirit Beasts suddenly appeared beside Feng Yi, constantly merging with each other to form a constantly rotating yin-yang fish.

The intertwined yin-yang fish seemed like the embodiment of the Great Dao yin-yang of the entire universe; faintly revealing two special silhouettes—one with a human body and dragon tail, the other with a human body and snake tail—intertwined, causing subtle changes in the primordial source of the entire universe.

This is not only the Balance Law of this universe, but also contains Feng Yi's own comprehension of the Great Dao, forming a Great Dao unique to himself.

At the same time, an endless river of fate appeared beneath his feet, making his whole being seem to stand upon the river of fate, gazing down upon the past and future of this universe.

"It is time to fully master this universe's Balance Law and accomplish the plan of transforming realms into a city!"
