Chapter 548 548: The Essence of Creation, Protection and Sacrifice
“Heh.” John sneered, his face full of mockery. “What kind of Creator Gods are you? You’re nothing but sudden beneficiaries of great power, a bunch of nouveau riche. Do you really think that just because you possess the Sea of Laws from the Galaxy Star Domain, your world will exist forever?”
“Victors are kings, and losers are thieves. Do you think you have the right to lecture us? Power is everything. Your people have sacrificed, and the Galaxy Star Domain will soon vanish. And you, you are nothing more than a dog with no home!” Kamos sneered, his focus on devouring the power of laws from the galaxy.
The worlds around them continued to collapse and shatter.
They wanted John to watch it all unfold, to completely destroy his spirit and heart.
But John remained calm, his gaze unwavering as he ignored everything around him and continued, “The essence of creation has never been about destruction. It’s about protection and sacrifice.”
“The Creator God used Creation and Destruction, sacrificing himself to create the Galaxy Star Domain. Then came Goddess of Sky, creating life, mending the sky with stones, guarding everything. Then there was the Goddess of Sea, who tamed the waters, proving that human will can conquer nature. And even my rebirth, which was earned through the sacrifice of countless Immortal-level warriors…”
Kamos and Aoto listened to his words, their brows furrowed. They had never heard of any of this and were unaware that John had been reborn.
But even so, so what? The outcome was already determined. They still looked at him with disdain, confident in their own actions, believing they were in the right.
Devouring, killing, and destroying everything that threatened their existence—constantly plundering resources—was their purpose, their meaning of survival.
John glanced at them, his expression filled with more contempt. “I was once lost, wondering if all of this was truly worth it. But now, with everyone’s sacrifice, it was all to protect the Galaxy Star Domain, and even lives that are not part of it.”
At that moment, subtle changes began to occur around him. Powerful energy surged, his aura rising steadily. Above his head, the galaxy flickered with starlight, casting its glow across the entire Galaxy Star Domain.
Kamos and Aoto’s brows furrowed in concern, a sense of unease settling in their hearts.
John’s world had been destroyed, and the Sea of Laws had been devoured by them. His strength should have completely vanished, so why was this terrifying aura suddenly surging?
“This is not the end, but the beginning!” John stood in midair, his arms slightly outstretched, his voice echoing. “All of the sacrifices are worth it. As long as no one is forgotten, the Galaxy Star Domain will not disappear. The gods will return to their rightful place!”
His voice echoed, resonating throughout the entire Galaxy Star Domain.
Whoosh…
The winds howled, the galaxy spun, and figures flashed through the Void.
A towering Creator God, holding a massive axe, stood firm, reaching for the heavens.
Goddess of Sky, with a human body and a serpent’s tail, radiated the aura of life.
And countless gods who had once protected the galaxy, fighting against foreign invaders.
Beast Clan, Witch Clan, gods, demon race, The Immortals…
Figures continued to flash, exuding immense power.
Finally, the figures of Sini, Tracy, Cand-Dragon, Highshield, Thoublade, Chaos, Shadow.
And others appeared in the air, silently guarding the Galaxy Star Domain.
“Stop playing your tricks. I am a Creator God, a being of immense power, and you will all die!” Kamos roared. The strange scene before him filled him with fear. He charged forward recklessly, aiming to destroy John.
Aoto also acted decisively, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy.
John calmly watched their attacks, still standing with his arms outstretched, neither dodging nor retreating.
Buzz…
Figures flashed, and the celestial power of Sky God roared as it merged into his body.
The energy surrounding him surged, and the overwhelming power of the laws of Heaven resonated with the galaxy.
Boom!
A deafening roar shook the entire Galaxy Star Domain.
John’s form was engulfed by the attacks of Kamos and Aoto.
But Kamos and Aoto did not continue to devour or refine the galaxy. Instead, they both stared at the scene before them, their faces full of tension and concern.
Whoosh…
The winds howled, the Void cracked open, and the destructive energy dissipated. A figure emerged.
It was John, completely unharmed.
“No… No way!” Kamos swallowed, taking a step back in shock. “Your world was destroyed, the laws vanished. You couldn’t have stopped our attacks!”
“Foolish!” John’s voice echoed, and a terrifying aura spread around him. He transformed once again into a giant.
But this time, his form grew even more massive, nearly covering the entire Galaxy Star Domain.
The ancient and immense aura he radiated crushed everything in its path.
Kamos and Aoto watched in terror, their bodies trembling as fear spread through them.
This bizarre scene was completely beyond their comprehension.
“Creation and Destruction!” John’s cold voice echoed as the immense sword of The Immortals appeared in his hand, its phantom splitting the sky like a divine axe, swinging toward the worlds of the two Creator Gods.
Boom! Boom!
The sword beams howled as the phantom of the axe flickered. Wherever it passed, their worlds crumbled, endless spatial turbulence surged, and within moments, it was all destroyed.
“Cough!”
“Cough!”
Both of them coughed up blood, their faces pale and weary. Their souls were severely wounded, and they stared at John in terror.
“Human, wh-what are you?!” Aoto’s voice trembled in fear.
Their worlds were shattered, the Sea of Laws flowing away, and their strength completely vanished.
“Die!” John’s cold voice echoed again as two sword beams cut through the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Blood splattered, and Kamos and Aoto’s eyes widened in shock and regret as their energy dissipated. Slowly, they drifted into the Void, completely falling.
Whoosh…
The winds howled as John’s own immense power began to fade. Phantasms appeared once again, nodding at him with respect before disappearing entirely.
“No! You can’t leave!” John’s breath was weak as he struggled, reaching out his hand, trying to stop it all, but he was powerless to prevent anything.
The smiles of the women froze in his mind, slowly fading away.
He couldn’t accept it. Everyone had sacrificed, the Galaxy Star Domain was in ruins, and even if he had protected it, what was the use?
“Kid, remember this. The essence of creation is protection and sacrifice. This law doesn’t just apply to creating worlds…” A solemn voice echoed, slowly fading away into the Void.
It was the Creator Emperor!
John stood frozen, a blank expression on his face, unable to understand the meaning of these words.
Buzz…
Above him, the galaxy flowed, Star Dust twinkling.
John suddenly had a thought, and he called out urgently, “Leisian, are you still there?”
The surroundings were silent, the only sound was the gentle flow of the Sea of Laws.
Leisian, as the Seed of Fire, had already fully merged into the galaxy, stabilizing the Sea of Laws.
He weakly collapsed to the ground, feeling an unprecedented loneliness, yet the words of the Creator Emperor echoed in his mind.
The essence of creation is protection and sacrifice. This law doesn’t just apply to creating worlds…
“My mission isn’t over,” he said to himself, looking at the shattered Galaxy Star Domain. He sat cross-legged, absorbing the power of the laws.
The immense energy around him surged, and after his self-destruction and rebirth, he had also acquired the Heaven Body, able to comprehend all the laws of Heaven.
The laws of creation surged into his body, and his strength rapidly grew, once again reaching its peak.
“Protection and sacrifice,” he whispered to himself, and from within him, a clone emerged.
It was his Beast Clan clone.
Whoosh!
With the fusion of the Lich bloodlines, his Beast Clan clone immediately transformed into a giant tens of thousands of feet tall, its terrifying aura spreading throughout the area.
“Creation and Destruction!” He roared, and his Beast Clan clone wielded the United Sword. A monstrous sword beam shot out, covering the sky and the earth, engulfing the entire Galaxy Star Domain. It swiftly cut through the Void, repairing the shattered world.
Buzz…
The space trembled as the massive sword beam passed, and the Galaxy Star Domain began to slowly heal.
Even the worlds that had been destroyed earlier, including the worlds created by Kamos and Aoto, began to merge into it.
The Galaxy Star Domain grew even larger and more expansive, though it remained unstable.
John looked at his Beast Clan clone and calmly spoke, “Protection and sacrifice. You know what you must do.”
“No regrets,” the Beast Clan clone replied, casting a calm glance at him. The massive form instantly disintegrated and merged into the vast expanse of the Galaxy Star Domain.
“Cough!” John spat out blood, his soul suffering a severe blow.
His three main clones were all one entity. With the Beast Clan clone’s sacrifice, he too was gravely wounded, even risking his own life.
But he didn’t care in the slightest.
Whoosh!
At that moment, two figures reappeared.
It was the gods and the human race clone from Skyline Continent.
They looked at John with calm expressions, offering him a faint smile before merging together. The giant sword of The Immortals emerged, and immense power surged around them.
It was the potent force of space and time laws.
This was another divine skill John had comprehended: Disturb the Order of the Universe.
He had never used it before because of the enormous cost. It required the sacrifice of oneself to break the laws of time and space and reshape the very fabric of reality.
The reason he could be resurrected was because countless Immortal predecessors had sacrificed themselves and used Disturb the Order of the Universe to bring him back.
Now, he intended to bring back all those who had sacrificed in the final battle, even at the cost of sacrificing his two major clones.
“Disturb the Order of the Universe!”
With a furious shout, the space trembled, and time seemed to freeze. Everything around him fell into eerie silence. The sword beam slashed through, and his gods and Skyline Continent human race clones quickly depleted their energy, their life force fading, and they fell, their souls extinguishing.
“It’s not enough!” John was once again struck hard, his soul splitting, nearly on the brink of death.
But the combined strength of the two clones was still not enough to resurrect everyone.
Clenching his teeth, he made a resolute decision, sacrificing the strength of his own body.
Whoosh…
The winds howled, and the fabric of time and space reversed. Wisps of Remnant souls appeared, rushing into reincarnation.
“Cough!” John coughed up more blood, collapsing to the ground.
This was the limit of what he could do. He could send the self-exploded warriors into reincarnation, but he could not fully resurrect them.
As long as they grew to the Emperor level, they might regain the memories of their past lives.
The flow of John’s internal energy dwindled, but a smile appeared on his face. As long as they could enter reincarnation, they were not truly lost.
He struggled to rise, picking up a broken branch — a fragment of the Tree of Life.
He planted it beneath the galaxy, nurturing it carefully as he gazed up at the galaxy above.
He knew Leisian was there, but he didn’t know if she could return again.
The years passed by, and no one knew how long had passed.
John sat quietly, meditating with his legs crossed, a towering tree standing behind him.
Over the endless years, life in the Galaxy Star Domain began to revive, and many powerful beings emerged.
He kept a close watch on everything, waiting for the familiar faces to break through to Emperor-level and recover their memories from their past lives.
Time continued to flow, and before long.
A female emperor appeared on Earth—Yomi Emperor!
She broke through to the Emperor realm, receiving the blessings of The Heaven. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as her past life memories awakened.
Whoosh!
In an instant, she appeared in the Void, and there, under the Life Tree, she saw a familiar figure.
“John, it’s been so long…” Her voice was calm, but tears streamed down her face.
“Sini!” John smiled, gently embracing the woman.
“Old man, I can’t believe I’m not the first to arrive. Looks like my talent isn’t as good as Sister Sini’s!” A lively female voice sounded again.
It was Star Dust Emperor, Tracy!
“Not bad at all, you’re the second,” John said as he took her small hand. The three of them stood beneath the Life Tree, overlooking the Galaxy Star Domain below.
A cold planet had appeared, where a powerful organization, the Merciless Sect, had formed.
On this day, the Merciless Sect’s leader successfully broke through to the Emperor realm.
“What is this talk of detachment from emotion? The Path of Pure Emotion is the true way!” Merciless whispered to herself, gazing at the Void, abandoning the Merciless Sect she had created. Without hesitation, she returned to John’s side.
Time passed, and Anna, Ada, Judy, Yuel, Jean, Sara, Jolyne, Elsa…
One after another, familiar figures broke through to the Emperor realm and reunited with John.
Chaos Emperor, Heavenly King, Forest King, Cand-Dragon, Nine Phoenix, Thoublade, Highshield…
Each Emperor-level warrior appeared, meeting with John before leaving again.
They grew fond of this colorful world, honing their strength, seeking the true meaning of creation, and aspiring to create their own worlds.
John never concealed anything from them and imparted all his knowledge. He would not stop any of it, for he understood that the Creator Gods who emerged from the Galaxy Star Domain were the true Creator Gods.
“John, I’m pregnant!” One day, Merciless brought joyful news. “It’s Leisian, but this time, she won’t be the Seed of Fire. She’ll be an ordinary little girl.”
“Really?” John was overjoyed, and the women gathered around Merciless, carefully taking care of her.
…
Time flowed on, and the Galaxy Star Domain remained peaceful and harmonious. Though there were occasional conflicts between the various races, they all followed the laws of the Galaxy Star Domain: sacrifice and protection.
In the vast Void, a few figures appeared.
Their auras were immense, and they were all Creator God-level beings. They had discovered the Galaxy Star Domain.
“Hmm, there is a hidden, powerful unclaimed star domain here.”
“How wonderful! If we refine this star domain, our world will become even more stable.”
Excited and eager, they extended their magical claws toward the Galaxy Star Domain.
But just then, a terrifying aura spread, and a few large words slowly emerged in the Void.
“Galaxy Star Domain, demons and evildoers shall not enter. Those who trespass shall die!”
[The End]
