"Creator... God?" Rong Nianbing murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with shock and disbelief.
He once again carefully examined the book page in his hand, wanting to glean more information about the Creator God from the ancient text.
"Is... is this really true? A Creator God? Wouldn't that be an existence that surpasses all God-Kings?
This so-called Heavenly Star must have come from beyond the deep cosmos, and it descended upon the Continent of Gods at least fifty thousand years ago.
Then wouldn't this Creator God be even more ancient?
Could it be that it's really the being that created the entire universe?"
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then took the book page from Rong Nianbing's hand and said in a deep voice, "From these records, it is indeed possible.
That civilization from fifty thousand years ago, where technology and myth intertwined, they explored the deepest secrets of the universe—that the Great Dao Laws were actually fragments from a higher-level god. This discovery undoubtedly overturned all cognition at the time."
Rong Nianbing took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart. "If such a Creator God really exists, then what does the realm of a God-King even count for?
We are merely picking up the scraps of others, cultivating using the fragments left behind by the Creator God."
His tone sounded very dejected, and he gave a bitter smile. "Of course, you're an exception, Brother Lin. With your current cultivation, you've probably long since walked towards that even more distant and unattainable realm."
Rong Nianbing sat down on the stone steps dejectedly and murmured, "Created the entire universe? All Great Daos, all divine power originated from an unknown being? Brother Lin, tell me, is this Creator God dead or not?" He looked up, a barely perceptible fear flickering in his eyes.
Lin Feng frowned. "Is that important?"
"Of course it's important!" Rong Nianbing stood up excitedly. "If the Creator God is still alive, then everything about us, our cultivation, our struggles, our world, are all just playthings in his palm! He could come back at any time, change all the rules, and destroy everything we hold dear!"
Lin Feng looked at Rong Nianbing, his eyes calm. "Brother Rong, you don't need to be so agitated. Even if the Creator God exists, even if he is alive, so what? Believe me, even if he is still alive, I have a way to make him die.
Besides, have you considered why these God Crystals are fragments?"
Hearing this, Rong Nianbing was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. "You mean... the very existence of these God Crystals as fragments of the Great Dao Laws might mean that the Creator God is not omnipotent, or... he encountered some mishap and has already passed away?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Indeed. If this Creator God were a perfect, omnipotent existence, then why would these law fragments be scattered throughout the universe?
Why would they be discovered and utilized by a civilization fifty thousand years ago? This suggests two possibilities: one, after creating the universe, the Creator God intentionally or unintentionally left these fragments as a gift or a test for those who came after.
Two, the Creator God himself may have met with misfortune. These fragments should be a part of the Creator God's power, a testament to the decline of his power."
Lin Feng continued, "I have looked down upon the entire universe from a higher dimension. In the present world, there is no existence stronger than me.
If the Creator God really still exists, then he has either surpassed the limits of my perception, or he is no longer in this universe.
His figure is not in the river of time, but there are a few places that have a strange aura.
One of them is the two continents here."
Rong Nianbing pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "One of them... you've sensed other places?"
Lin Feng nodded. "That's right. However, that place is much farther away, truly separated from here by an endless sea of stars.
In fact, if this place weren't closer to the Divine Realm, I would have chosen to go to the world on the other side first. Unfortunately, there is only some information here, and three remaining God Crystals.
There is nothing of great use to me. It's time to go. Let's return to the Divine Realm first. Before that..."
Lin Feng took out the Ten Thousand Souls... Human Emperor Banner. He crossed the endless spatial barriers, and several true bodies descended simultaneously upon the Yangguang and Lost Continents.
"What... is that?"
In a corner of the Yangguang Continent, several magicians who were discussing magic suddenly looked up. A huge spatial rift had opened in the sky, and a heart-palpitating aura emanated from it.
They stared with wide eyes at the figure slowly walking out of the rift, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.
"Is that... a god? Or a demon?" a Magus asked with a trembling voice. The staff in his hand fell due to his nervousness.
A similar scene played out in several regions of the Lost and Yangguang Continents.
Lin Feng gently waved the Human Emperor Banner in his hand. Wherever he descended, the god-level experts all felt it, and an inexplicable palpitation rose in their hearts.
They all looked up at the sky and saw ripples of space spreading out. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Feng's figure was like a god descending from the heavens, majestic and inviolable.
"Everyone, you have an affinity with my Divine Realm." Lin Feng's voice was like a great bell, ringing through the sky.
In the unseen world, it was as if some Great Dao had been touched. The god-level experts who heard this sentence felt a sudden fear in their hearts, as if some huge karmic consequence was about to befall them.
Ice God Tower.
A stunningly beautiful figure stood quietly at the top of the tower. She was draped in a white gauze robe, her long hair like a waterfall, gently fluttering in the wind.
She was the Ice and Snow Goddess Priestess of the Ice God Tower, and also a peak expert of ice magic—Xue Linglong.
At this moment, a look of astonishment flashed in Xue Linglong's eyes. She stared at the majestic and inviolable figure in the sky, an unprecedented wave surging in her heart.
"Space is shattering... the Divine Realm... an affinity? What on earth is going on?" Xue Linglong whispered to herself, her grip on the Ice God staff tightening.
Lin Feng's voice sounded again, piercing through the clouds and straight into people's hearts. "Xue Linglong, you have reached the god-level. If you are willing to go to the Divine Realm, you will surely be able to reach a higher level. Within the Divine Realm, there are countless wonders and powers you have never seen before."
Hearing this, Xue Linglong's brows furrowed tightly. "You tell me to go, and I should go? Who do you think you are? It's just shattering the void, something I'm not incapable of doing. Take a move from me first! If you can remain unscathed, what's the harm in going with you for a trip!!"
She slammed the Ice God staff in her hand on the ground. Without waiting for Lin Feng's response, she began to chant rapidly.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. This Third-Class God seemed to have quite a temper, didn't she? However, this kind of magic chanting was quite interesting. Communicating with the laws of heaven and earth...
"God said, water is the source of all things in the world. Ice is the original form of water, clean and full of coldness, it will extinguish all life.
God said, foolishness is not a mistake, but the mistake lies in the foolish not knowing they are foolish. All who blaspheme God must take foolishness as their crime and must go through the baptism of reincarnation to end all sins.
God said, ice is the sharp weapon for all sins in the world. Ice is the end for all who blaspheme. Only by transforming into ice can sin disappear.
God said, it is God's responsibility to redeem all. The holy Ice and Snow Goddess will sweep evil from the world.
God said, the mixture of ice, snow, and blood is the source of holiness. Just as water is the source of life, it can wash away everything. The divine will of the Ice and Snow Goddess will shine upon the earth, bringing the purest aura to the world.
The Forbidden of the Forbidden, God's Descent Art—Snow Cascade!"
As the chanting from Xue Linglong's mouth reached its climax, the world seemed to be shaken by an invisible force.
The sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds gathered, covering the sky and the sun. The originally bright sunlight was completely blocked, and the whole world fell into a gloomy state.
The cold wind was piercing, whistling past with a bone-chilling cold, as if it would freeze everything in the world.
The air around the Ice God Tower began to condense rapidly. Water vapor gathered in the air, forming crystal-clear ice crystals. These ice crystals continuously rotated and gathered in the air, finally transforming into a monstrous snow cascade. Like the Milky Way pouring down, it rushed towards Lin Feng with an earth-shattering momentum.
Wherever the snow cascade passed, space was torn apart, leaving deep cracks.
The stones and trees on the ground were instantly frozen, turning into hard blocks of ice. Even the dust in the air was frozen, and the entire world was covered by a thick layer of ice.
Lin Feng just stood there quietly. The moment the snow cascade was about to hit him, he suddenly raised his hand.
"Stop."
Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain endless majesty and power. As that one word was spoken, the laws of heaven and earth were gently stirred.
The monstrous snow cascade, just an inch away from Lin Feng, came to an abrupt halt. The huge ice flow was as if held by an invisible hand, suspended in the air, no longer advancing.
The cold air overflowed, yet it could not disturb Lin Feng in the slightest.
All the ice in the entire world, whether it was the ice crystals suspended in the air, the thick layer of ice on the ground, or the terrifying snow cascade, was frozen by an invisible force under the word "Stop" that Lin Feng had gently spoken.
The roar of the snow cascade came to an abrupt end, leaving only a dead silence and the shocked gazes of everyone in the Ice God Tower.
"This... how is this possible?" Xue Linglong murmured to herself, the shock in her heart beyond words. She knew her own strength and understood the power of this snow cascade, but everything before her was completely beyond her comprehension.
"Disperse."
Lin Feng spoke again, his voice still calm and full of power. As this one word was spoken, the frozen ice crystals, snow cascade, and the thick ice on the ground began to slowly dissipate, turning into specks of light and finally vanishing into the air, as if they had never existed.
Xue Linglong's eyes widened. Watching this scene, the shock in her heart grew even stronger. She had never seen such a magical power. Lin Feng's every word and action could manipulate the laws of heaven and earth at will.
"Who... who on earth are you?" Xue Linglong's voice trembled slightly, and she gripped the Ice God staff in her hand tightly, afraid that it would fall if she wasn't careful.
"A fated person passing by."
Lin Feng showed a "friendly" smile. He waved the Human Emperor Banner in his hand, and a gentle force instantly enveloped Xue Linglong.
Her vision blurred, and when she appeared again, she was already within a strange space inside the Human Emperor Banner.
"Heh."
Lin Feng chuckled. Several true bodies returned, bringing with them all the god-level experts from the three continents.
This method was not a simple clone, but different forms of existence that Lin Feng displayed at the same moment using the law of time. With a flash of his figure, he escaped into the universe.
The people below in the Ice God Tower:
"Gulp... Um, was the Tower Master taken away?" a delicate female magician swallowed hard and asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty and horror.
The other magicians also looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and helplessness.
"Where did that person come from? Is he a robber?... I think I can already see our originally aloof and refined Tower Master being ravaged, defiled, and humiliated... hehehe... ahem, ahem, I'm so sad, sob, sob, sob..."
Another young female magus's face was very red as she spoke incoherently.
"So, should we choose a new Tower Master? Everyone, choose me! I guarantee that after I'm elected, you'll be able to eat delicious food every day!" Another very energetic young girl beside her shouted loudly.
"You foodie, you're really killing me with your filial piety..."
Rong Nianbing held his forehead. He first glanced in the direction Lin Feng had left, then his divine sense perceived the "great chaos" on the three continents at this moment. His forehead was instantly covered with black lines.
Although he really wanted to chase after Lin Feng, who seemed to have forgotten he was still here, and tell him that he hadn't gotten on board yet.
But it seemed he had to deal with the chaotic situation at hand first. He had to clean up the mess Lin Feng had left for him.
So he also walked out of the void.
His appearance unchanged, he naturally quickly gained the recognition of the many powers in his old home.
He pointed at the girl who said she wanted to run for the position of Ice God Tower's master by providing delicious food.
"Hey you, it's you. You're the Tower Master until Xue Linglong comes back."
The others were speechless.
Wait, is it that casual? You, the Emotion God, are a chef, so you're choosing a foodie to be the Tower Master?
This is the head of a top power on the continent, hey!
Is it too late to declare my love for delicious food now?
The young girl was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up. "Yay! I declare that from today onwards, all food that has been frozen with ice magic is to be thrown away!
And those pre-packaged meals, throw them all away too!!!
We want to eat hot, freshly made delicious food! Roasted meat, stew, pancakes, desserts... we want them all! From now on, the Ice God Tower will not only be a palace of magic but also a paradise of food!"
The people of the Ice God Tower: Should we run away, family?
—
Divine Realm.
Lin Feng's figure appeared at the Divine Realm's core. He was playing with the three God Crystals in his hand like walnuts, and he frowned.
"Why do I feel like I've forgotten something? Forget it, whatever."
Lin Feng shook his head, casting the inexplicable feeling of forgetfulness to the back of his mind.
Rong Nianbing, who was currently rushing towards the Divine Realm in the universe: "Damn it, Brother Lin, you really f***ing forgot about me!
I don't have your cultivation, I can't just roam the universe freely. How long will it take me to get back on my own! You'd better remember me soon, you bastard!!!"
Tears streamed down his face. As he flew with difficulty through the universe, he complained incessantly in his heart.
Although he had the strength of a God-King, in this vast universe, without Lin Feng's kind of divine abilities, he could only rely on his own divine power to move forward slowly. The speed was so slow that it made him extremely anxious. It would take several years to get back.
He could only pray in his heart that Lin Feng would remember him soon, or that his wives or someone else would remind him.
Before he had even entered the Divine Realm's core, Gu Yuena's voice came.
"Xiao Feng, you're back just in time. Not long ago, I sensed a strange fluctuation."
