Chapter 1851 - 1850: Gazing into the Divine Being’s Eyes

Eastern Central Earth

Liu Zhengyun stood on an endless plain, raised his head, and gazed at the giant fissure in the sky, sighing slightly, "It has come after all."

Beyond that enormous fissure, the gray-white planet was getting closer and closer to the earth, and the massive crack was still opening rapidly at a visibly quick pace.

"Is there anything we need to do?" Wu Ganglie also watched the scene in the sky, asking hoarsely.

"We’ve done all we can," Liu Zhengyun sighed softly, lowered his head, and fell into silence.

At this moment, a gray radiance surged skyward from the distant ground.

"Is that Dongdu?" Wu Ganglie lifted his gaze and looked at the gray light, "The timing is off, and He Ao didn’t give us any message."

"Could it have detonated prematurely?" Liu Zhengyun’s face turned somber, and he spoke softly.

Just then, the shining gray light suddenly came to a halt.

"What happened?" Wu Ganglie turned his head to look at Liu Zhengyun.

But he found Liu Zhengyun at that moment with his head raised, staring intently at the sky.

He also raised his head to look at the sky.

Mote City

Gray radiance shot into the sky from the prepared array, rapidly spreading out like raging waves and instantly engulfing the entire city.

Yan Yue lifted her head to look at the fissure in the firmament, the light surrounding them, "What is this? Did we set this up?"

"It seems so," Lin Chichi looked around confused by the gray light, "But things seem a bit different, we haven’t received any notification, the array activated on its own."

Boom—

Almost instantly, a loud explosion erupted in the city, accompanied by that, the surging gray light suddenly ceased as if cut off like a water flow.

The world quieted down at this moment.

"It’s the sound from the park," Yan Yue immediately reacted, "That structure, Minister He specifically instructed us to protect it, not to let anyone near."

"Sister Yan Yue, look at the sky." But Lin Chichi had no time to listen to Yan Yue’s words. She raised her head, exclaiming with some shock, looking at the firmament.

"What?"

Yan Yue raised her head to look at the sky.

An invisible, hazy film seemed to cover the sky luminous with the glow, the entire firmament seemed to quiet down at this moment, even the fierce tearing fissure seemed to be in some strange state of stillness.

"What is that?"

Yan Yue looked at the barrier in the sky with some confusion.

"Don’t know," Lin Chichi shook her head, then turned around to glance at the surroundings, saying with some doubt, "The world, seems different somehow?"

"Ah?" Yan Yue turned back, looking at her confused.

Ningte City

"You added a fragile structure within the array, but how did you manage to damage so many arrays at the same time?" The white-robed young man gazed at He Ao, a trace of radiance flickering within his gray eyes, "Is it the power of the world?"

He lifted his gaze, staring at He Ao, "You haven’t harmonized with this world, how are you wielding the world’s power?"

"Then, do you think now," He Ao smiled looking at him, gently raised his hand, and invisible radiance gathered at his fingertips, "Have I harmonized?"

An invisible aura swept across the entire city in an instant, it was the wind flowing through heaven and earth, the light descending from the sun and moon, the circulation of all things in the world.

It is space, and it is also time.

"Interesting, how did you do it?" The white-robed young man raised his gaze to focus on He Ao, his field of view swiftly gathering, the gray light in his eyes flashing intensely.

At this moment, he paused slightly and raised his head to look at the sky.

In the sky above, an enormous invisible barrier had appeared beneath the massive fissure at some unknown time, covering the entire sky, also covering the crack and the gray-white planet beyond the fissure.

"What are you doing?" The white-robed young man’s eyes slowly opened, the gray light enveloped his entire body, violently surging like a tide.

High above in the firmament, the enormous figure completely constructed of starlight seemed to sense something, slowly turned to one side.

The radiant starlight rapidly gathered at a visibly quick pace, like a respectful servant, welcoming its Monarch standing in the starry sky.

An immense and terrifying pressure emerged from the deepest void, piercing through the barrier constructed by endless spacetime, traversing the distance between heaven and earth, instantly engulfing the entire world.

——

Gobi Desert

He Ao’s true self raised his head, looking at the fissure in the sky, gazing at the starlight figure curling itself within the gap, the pressure sweeping across the entire world also swept across his body instantaneously.

The overwhelming power and innate fear made him uncontrollably want to bow to the ground and offer gifts to the terrifying Monarch seated high in the starry sky.

Yet his body showed no change, he still stood there, raising his head to gaze at the sky.

The world was so silent, an ancient melody echoed between heaven and earth.

The immense aura and power swiftly extended like flowing water to all directions, enveloping the vast Gobi, covering mountains and plains, spanning the endless sea.

This expansion faced no obstruction, rather under the bolster of invisible forces getting quicker and quicker, in an instant, it covered the entire Main World.

At this moment, He Ao seemed to hear the breath of nature, the shudder of the waves.

Entering his ’field of view’ were endless beasts and humans crawling on the ground, even the wind crouched there, pressing the leaves of trees, making them tremble piously.

The vast and terrifying pressure was crushing on this world’s back, suffocating its throat, leaving the world unable to breathe.

He Ao raised his hand, his palm gently grasping the void.

At this moment, the rules of the entire world unfolded before him.

The silent World Domain at this very instant had fully covered the Main World.

This was certainly not power from his individual self, but from the ’assistance’ of the Main World.

Under the threat of death and destruction, the Main World finally relinquished rejection and barriers, reaching an ’agreement’ with He Ao.

The Main World is conscious, in the face of ultimate despair, He Ao did not need to choose between creation and harmonization because both the Main World and he knew, no matter what, in the final moments, the Main World would choose to let him wield all ’power’.

Choosing ’creation’ held a better chance of grasping that thread of hope.

Collecting the power of the entire world, integrating it into He Ao’s World Domain, temporarily merging, assimilating all the rules with the entire world.

This means that at this moment, He Ao is the Martial Arts God harmonized with the Main World, possessing all authority, equivalent to the ’Usurper God’ of world will.

This time, he was the ’leading’ one.

The radiant framework of rules shone brightly at this moment.

And in the sky above, immense and intricate gear symbols nested together, were outlined above the stars.

A vast and terrifying, indescribable Great Being in the depths of the starry sky opened its eyes.

The brilliant gaze swept across endless time and space, across the brilliance of the stars, descending upon this world, descending onto this barren Gobi Desert.

Descending onto the small and slender body standing in this desert.

Boom—

This gaze, like a giant hammer weighing thousands of pounds, pressed against that small body, pressed against this barren desert.

The towering rocky mountain was crushed in an instant, and the entire vast desert was also pressed by this terrifying force, sinking abruptly like pressed earth.

Violent shockwaves spread from the collapsed desert in all directions, instantly destroying the city standing beside the desert, erasing it into dust.

Countless blood burst out from that slender youth’s body in an instant, and that small husk was torn apart in that moment, about to be erased into dust.

But this body was not ultimately erased, strands of radiance emerged from his torn wounds, pulling his flesh and body, maintaining the structure of his body.

A continuous flow of power rose from the ground, pouring into this small body, struggling to maintain the balance of the body.

And amidst this violent struggle, He Ao raised his head, looking at the sky, looking at the gear symbols seemingly eternally emerging from the deepest depths, looking at the enormous light shadow occupying the entire firmament.

Looking at the gaze projected from the vastness beyond time and space.

At this moment, he confronted the Divine Being.

A terrifying and twisted power carrying seemingly endless pollution exploded in He Ao’s mind, tearing at his soul and flesh, tearing at every inch of his skin.

Yet at this moment, he did not lower his head.

His head was held high, looking at the light shadow in the sky, his left hand clasping Barrier Wood, his right hand loosely grasping the void, fingertips curved slightly towards the void.

He continued to confront that vast gaze, endless light shadows emerged on the ground.

And in the sky above, that massive crack appeared as if covered by a faint mask, with the gray-white planet constantly approaching beyond the crack, seemingly quiet for a moment.

The stars seemed to also be quiet for an instant, those stars high in the sky, as if they ceased movement.

Yet the light shadows on the earth continued to violently change.

Beyond the end of the sky, beyond this still night sky.

The light shadows on the ground were bright yet dark, flickering violently several times.

And amidst this violent flickering, the vast terrifying gaze disconnected without notice.

The stars in the sky remained hanging there, but the rift tearing the firmament rapidly closed at a visible speed.

In a corner of the firmament, the colossal figure constructed by starlight lowered its head, looking towards He Ao below.

The gaze flickered, carrying waves of starlight, unsure whether it was in surprise or admiration.

That gray-white planet, hidden within the closing rift, gradually faded, but its phantom shadow standing in the firmament still existed.

The vast and intricate gear light shadow continued to hover in the sky, while the youth on the ground still raised his head, gazing at the light shadow in the sky.

The world quieted down, uncannily silent, even the sound of wind on the ground rested.

Finally, that gear light shadow slowly faded, fading into the phantom shadow of the enormous gray-white planet.

Bang—

He Ao’s body leaned forward, crashing to the ground, shattering into countless dust in an instant.

But in the next instant, a continuous flow of power surged from the ground, piecing his body back together once again.

Yet almost in the very next moment, his body shattered again.

In this extremely brief instant, this pulverization and healing repeated countless times.

Eventually, He Ao’s body stabilized.

Blood and fine scars, still etched onto his body, etched onto his soul, scars left by the Divine Being.

Even the continuous world power could not completely repair these scars.

Ningta City

At the top of a barren ruin, a youth in white brushed off the broken bricks and old tiles falling on him, he raised his head, looking at the enormous rift in the sky, curiously asking, "How did you do it?"

Then he turned his head thoughtfully, looking at a scene farther away, as if he sensed something, he turned his gaze to the other side of the ruins, smiling, "Is it time?"

He Ao’s clone brushed off the debris on him, gradually standing up again, looking at the white-clad youth, the intense pain entwining his soul continuously tore at his soul, even causing the wound to subtly spread onto this clone.

Yet his expression did not change at all, still smiling as he looked at the white-clad youth, calmly saying, "Yes."

The white-clad youth raised his head, continuing to look at the slowly closing rift above, "You accelerated the time flow of this world, in an instant allowing this world to experience nearly six days’ worth of time. The enormous sudden time flow difference created a time turbulence, causing the Descending Ceremony originally set up by the machinery to experience parameter tearing,

"And time, being one of the most fundamental rules in the universe, causes parameter tearing that would lead the entire Descending Ceremony to a systemic collapse, and simultaneously cause the Space-Time Channel to shatter,"

He turned his gaze, looking at He Ao, "You’re very smart, and your understanding of time is especially profound, even the machinery likely did not expect that someone from a closed world would grasp such profound time rules. The vast majority of Usurper Gods, even some Divine Beings, likely do not have as deep an understanding of time as you do."

He gazed at He Ao, smiling, "Can you tell me, how did you grasp such deep time rules?"

"The universe forcibly poured it into me." He Ao shrugged, casually said.

He merely glanced at that rule, and was forcibly filled with a mind full of knowledge.

"If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine," the white-clad youth’s face darkened slightly, he turned his head, looking at the edge of the sky, "But I have another question, even a Martial Artist in the Harmonization Realm, cannot operate the world’s time rules, it’s not within his permitted power, how did you do it?"

See, when I tell you the truth you don’t believe me.

He Ao slowly walked to the white-clad youth’s side, softly said, "In the final moment facing destruction, the world will make some concessions."

The one orchestrating all of this order was not the Main World, but He Ao’s World Domain, the Main World merely provided enough power and voluntarily incorporated itself into He Ao’s World Domain.

And within the World Domain, He Ao is the sole creator.

Of course, the instinctive resistance of the Main World rules was also true.

Forcibly accelerating this bit of time was already the limit, nearly exhausting the power provided by the Main World. In the short term, the Main World likely will not be able to provide so much power.

"Interesting," the white-clad youth turned his head, smiling as he looked at He Ao, "If you were already prepared with a strategy to deal with the crisis, why did you set up the Array to lure me here?"

"Do you know," He Ao raised his head, looking at him, calmly spoke, "the Winding Hill?"

The smile at the corner of the white-clad youth’s mouth gradually faded.
