Chapter 124 - The God Master has been replaced

Suōshā's speech left all the divine officials in shock. "Please reconsider, Your Majesty! Without your protection, this universe will surely fall into ruin," the divine officials pleaded in unison, creating an uncontrollable scene as they spoke over each other. "Silence!" Suōshā's voice rang out again. "Though I step back from the forefront, I am not abandoning the universe. If the Boundless Universe faces a crisis in the future, my husband and I will return as promised. Divine officials, do not worry. Yi jie, the most experienced among you, will lead the universe forward, and I trust him completely. This is my final decision, and none shall oppose it."Enis and I listened quietly, leaving everything to Suōshā. "I know I cannot dissuade you, so I reluctantly accept this heavy responsibility," Yi jie said helplessly. Knowing Suōshā's mind was made up, the divine officials dared not speak further. "Come on, everyone, cheer up! It's not like I'm gone forever. I'll visit often," Suōshā said playfully, shedding her God Master attire and appearing like an ordinary girl, no longer resembling the God of the Universe. The officials were slightly taken aback by her sudden change. "My apologies, divine officials. From now on, I will steadfastly protect Suōshā and the safety of this universe, and I won't let you down," I said to ease the tension. "Haha, based on your performance just now, I have absolute confidence in you," Yi jie praised. "Thank you, Elder! We won't disturb you further," I said, preparing to leave with Enis and Suōshā."Wait, have you forgotten what we just discussed?" Yi jie called out to me. "Oh, what is it, Elder?" I asked, puzzled. "Honey, you're so clueless! You forgot about that divine artifact?" Suōshā reminded me. "Exactly. Since there's still time, why not come with me to retrieve it?" Yi jie said with a smile. "I see. Darling, I'll go with him to fetch the sword. Is that okay?" I asked Enis. "As long as it's not too dangerous, I'll go with you," Enis agreed. "Alright, the three of us will go together," I said, my worries fading. "The planet we're going to has a civilization level similar to Sister Enis's home planet, so try not to disturb the natives," Suōshā cautioned. "Got it," I nodded. "Let's go," Yi jie said, activating the divine teleportation technique. The divine officials waved goodbye as we left the temple under Yi jie's lead.In an instant, we arrived on the planet. "We're here," Yi jie said, looking around. "So this is the planet where the divine sword resides. The scenery's quite nice," I remarked. We stood in a vast mountain range, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of birds and flowers, much like Enis's home planet. "The scenery here doesn't lose to our homeland, does it, honey?" Enis said. "Yeah, it seems there are plenty of planets like this in the universe," I replied with a smile. "As for the origin of this divine artifact, Yi jie should explain. He knows more than I do," Suōshā said, passing the role of narrator to Yi jie."Ahem, billions of years ago, the Boundless Universe was in a chaotic era of divine conflicts, with gods fighting for supreme control. Back then, Queen Suōshā had not yet ascended, and the Boundless Universe was the last among all universes to achieve unification. Other universes had already chosen their God Masters, but in the Boundless Universe, the gods were evenly matched, none willing to yield. Among them, the Golden God, the Hai God, and the Sword God were the most likely to claim the God Master title, each possessing over 1.5 million units of The power of the universe. The Golden God was Queen Suōshā's father, which explains her extraordinary talent. The Sword God defeated the Hai God first and then challenged the Golden God. However, the Golden God's Golden Shield granted immense defense, and despite the Sword God's powerful techniques, he couldn't prevail. That battle ended in a stalemate. Later, it's said the Sword God poured his life's essence into forging a sword capable of breaking the Golden Shield—the Divine Sword. But this sword, like a bottomless black hole, drained all of the Sword God's vitality. He passed away before ever wielding it. The sword is said to remain on this planet, its forging site, though its exact whereabouts are unknown," Yi jie explained slowly.
