Chapter 171: After Ascension, Complete

In the void of the universe.

As the myriad sources of the universe finally gained a master and began to change according to a supreme, great will, the previously tumultuous ocean of light and abyss of darkness also returned to calm.

However, the Light-Dark Supreme Gods felt no joy at all; instead, they stared in utter terror at the ever-changing universe.

As innate gods aligned with the Great Dao, they could clearly sense that the entire universe was shrouded in an will vast to the extreme, and myriad sources were constantly undergoing changes and adjustments beyond their comprehension.

The universe now has a master!

These innate gods, aligned with the Great Dao and to some degree manifestations of it, the Light-Dark Supreme Gods utterly lost their former exalted status, overlooking the countless realms of the universe.

"Hahaha"

Just then, an immensely hearty laugh rang out from the cosmic void, echoing throughout the universe, followed by an overwhelming supreme god pressure that towered over everything.

In the cosmic void, the Fourteenth Supreme God's eyes snapped open, pupils glowing gold, radiating endless coldness and majesty.

The two divine crests on his forehead blazed with dazzling light, and an immensely powerful pressure rose from his body, instantly sweeping across the universe, making all living beings tremble.

After being sealed for endless ages, this innate King of Gods finally truly ascended to the position of Supreme God, just one step away from reclaiming his former glory.

"Primeval."

A cold, majestic voice issued from the Fourteenth Supreme God's mouth, and his gaze turned directly toward the direction of Primeval.

Although he had ascended to Supreme God, half of his origin was forever transformed into the Primeval Human Race under the effect of the Balance Law.

Now that he had become Supreme God, he still wielded two Great Dao laws, one of which was a Time Law nearly supreme over all laws, his strength surpassing that of the Light-Dark Supreme Gods; naturally, this was the moment to destroy Primeval, devour the Primeval Human Race, and make his origin wholly complete.

His thoughts turned, but the next moment the Fourteenth Supreme God felt something was wrong.

His mind, united with the Great Dao, sensed the change in the universe's origin and felt a supreme, great will permeating all existence, when suddenly an absurd thought arose in his heart.

The universe has a master!

Someone has completely mastered the supreme law that underlies the universe's operation—the Balance Law!

This.

How is that possible?

The Fourteenth Supreme God stood frozen in place, the joy of ascending to Supreme God completely vanished, leaving only endless fear.

Hum

Before the Fourteenth Supreme God could react, the void hummed, and a hazy, illusory river appeared in the universe, beginningless and endless, resembling the universe's River of Fate.

The next moment, a figure in a dark robe, seeming like the embodiment of the entire universe, stepped forth from the River of Fate and approached the Fourteenth Supreme God step by step.

Upon seeing that dark-robed figure, even as a god who wielded two Great Dao laws, the Fourteenth Supreme God's mind trembled uncontrollably, feeling an urge to submit outright.

"No"

A roar burst from the Fourteenth Supreme God's mouth, his eyes flashing with endless hatred as he shouted: "Impossible! I am the innate King of Gods, the ruler of the entire universe; all this glory was originally mine!"

Many scenes surfaced in his mind: the glory of his birth, the resentment of his gestation being interrupted by the Balance Law, the wrath of being sealed by the Light-Dark Gods for seeking to annihilate all life, and the exhilaration of now ascending to Supreme God.

He was just one step away from reclaiming his former glory—how could this happen?

"Die"

Gazing at the dark-robed figure upon the River of Fate, the Fourteenth Supreme God suppressed his inner fear with endless hatred, let out a roar, and the divine crests on his brow blazed with limitless divine light, enveloping the cosmic void.

In an instant, heaven and earth lost color; the Time Law acted upon the void, and the entire universe seemed to turn into a black-and-white scroll, everything coming to a halt.

This is the power of the most profound Time Law of this universe!

But what terrified the Fourteenth Supreme God was that, although he had fully unleashed the power of the Time Law, the dark-robed figure on the River of Fate showed no change whatsoever, calmly gazing at him as if he were an ant.

Hum

The next moment, the dark-robed figure slowly extended its palm, lowering it toward the Fourteenth Supreme God.

Though the palm was not swift, it seemed to contain the mysteries of an entire cosmos, like a complete great universe, leaving the Fourteenth Supreme God unable to muster any resistance.

At that moment, though he was the supreme god who governed the Great Dao of the whole universe, the Fourteenth Supreme God felt like a mortal, able only to watch as the palm descended onto his forehead.

In silence, the palm withdrew from his body.

In an instant, the Fourteenth Supreme God turned outright into nothingness, with no power to resist; only the two radiant divine crests on his brow were taken back by the palm.

The immortality of the Supreme Gods became a complete joke before Feng Yi!

Within the Ocean of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, each Light-Dark Supreme God felt a tremor, a dread welling up that could not be concealed.

This one, who should have been the innate King of Gods of this universe, had finally managed to ascend to Supreme God, yet before he could reclaim his former glory, he utterly dissolved into nothingness, truly falling.

Is this the might of the universe that wields the Balance Law?

Before their thoughts could fully settle, their hearts suddenly trembled as they sensed a distant, indifferent gaze.

Although they were within their own divine realms, the Light-Dark Supreme Gods now felt as if everything about them were laid bare, their spirits trembling uncontrollably.

As innate gods of pure rational instinct, the Light-Dark Supreme Gods harbored no thought of resistance and directly chose to submit.

"Supreme King of Gods"

"You are the lord of the universe, the god of all gods."

"Light is your servant, darkness your attendant."

Chants rose from the mouths of the Light-Dark Supreme Gods; all of them bowed respectfully toward the dark-robed figure upon the River of Fate, expressing their submission.

Upon the River of Fate, Feng Yi gazed calmly at the many Light-Dark Supreme Gods who had chosen to submit, countless divine lights flickering in the depths of his eyes.

After a long while, he slowly said: "As Light-Dark Supreme Gods who maintain cosmic balance, you need not possess independent consciousness; mere innate instinct suffices!"

Hum

His voice instantly spread throughout the universe, like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, word becoming law, establishing the fundamental principles of the cosmos.

"No, Supreme King of Gods"

A slightly frightened voice rose from the Light-Dark Supreme Gods' mouths, but before the words could finish, everything came to an abrupt halt.

In an instant, the breath of all Light-Dark Supreme Gods changed, their eyes becoming hollow and empty, as if only soulless shells remained.

Although the original Light-Dark Supreme Gods lacked emotion, they possessed their own will, instinctively seeking strength, feeling fear, and fearing death.

But now, the Light and Dark Supreme Gods have completely become manifestations of the Great Dao's laws, retaining only pure instinct, with no independent consciousness of their own, truly existing as attachments to the Great Dao laws of the entire universe.

The next moment, all the Light and Dark Supreme Gods respectfully bowed to Feng Yi, then retreated into the ocean of light and the abyss of darkness, becoming part of the myriad Dao of the universe.

From this moment on, the Light and Dark Supreme Gods ceased to exist, leaving only a group of innate gods who obey the will of Feng Yi, the lord of the universe.

After doing all this, Feng Yi moved his feet and came to Feng Yun Wuji's side.

Hum—

The next moment, Feng Yun Wuji opened his golden eyes, and the three divine sigils on his forehead burst forth with dazzling, brilliant light.

Seeing the figure in dark robes before him and sensing the opponent's immeasurably vast aura, a hint of joy appeared in Feng Yun Wuji's eyes as he hastily bowed and said, 'Greetings, Lord Fuxi; have you succeeded?'

Hmm.

Feng Yi nodded, a faint smile on his face, and said softly, 'Thanks to you, Feng Yun Wuji, stirring the turmoil of the balance law, I could fully grasp the deeply hidden origin law and truly control the entire universe.'

That's perfect!

Hearing this, Feng Yun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and said, 'Lord Fuxi, from now on the human race will rely entirely on you!'

As his words fell, Feng Yun Wuji gazed with lingering affection at the vastly changed Primeval Plane, as if trying to etch the entire Primeval into his heart.

At the same time, he was waiting for his emotions to completely dissipate, becoming a god of pure reason.

【Being able to sacrifice my emotions to help Lord Fuxi master the balance law, letting the Primeval human race truly stand at the pinnacle of the universe, I suppose this isn't a pointless sacrifice, right!】

Various thoughts churned in his mind, and Feng Yun Wuji momentarily felt a surge of hot-blooded fervor.

But after a while, Feng Yun Wuji felt something was off.

Because he did not feel his emotions fading, nor did he feel that only pure reason remained.

Instinctively glancing at the dark-robed figure beside him, a hint of confusion appeared in Feng Yun Wuji's eyes as he blurted, 'Lord Fuxi, why do I feel that my emotions have not faded?'

Hehe.

A hint of amusement appeared on Feng Yi's face as he smiled and said, 'How so, Feng Yun Wuji? Do you want to become a god of pure reason?'

No.

Feng Yun Wuji shook his head, somewhat bewildered, and said, 'But Lord Fuxi, didn't you say that after becoming a god, one gradually loses one's emotions?'

That was before.

Feng Yi shook his head slightly, speaking casually, 'Now that I command the origin law of the entire universe, I can naturally alter its rules as I wish; letting you keep your emotions is also possible.'

Ah!

Feng Yun Wuji froze on the spot, his expression instantly becoming marvelously varied.

After a while, he came to his senses, a wry smile on his face, and said, 'Lord, you said that long ago!'

All that mental preparation he had just made was for nothing!

Haha.

Feng Yi let out a loud laugh and said, 'I just found your earlier heroic, self-sacrificing expression amusing, so I didn't interrupt your state.'

Uh

Thinking of his recent performance, Feng Yun Wuji suddenly felt the urge to cover his face.

Alright!

After glancing at Feng Yun Wuji, Feng Yi ceased teasing him and said, 'Now that matters are settled, the Light and Dark Supreme Gods have become history; go see the Primeval human race!'

Yes, Lord.

As his words fell, the two figures appeared simultaneously above the Primeval.

At this moment, numerous human powerhouses gathered on the Primeval Plane, their faces filled with fervor as they gazed at the dark-robed figure in the heavens.

At this moment, all humans understood that from today onward, the human race would truly stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

And all of this is because of the dark-robed figure before them.

Greetings, Lord Fuxi!

The neat, resounding voice swept across heaven and earth, shaking the entire cosmic void.

Please rise, fellow clansmen!

He lightly waved his hand, gazing at the myriad humans in the Primeval, and Feng Yi thought to himself, 'From today onward, the fate of the entire human race after ascension is completely changed!'
