God's Domain.
Liu Che couldn't help but smile as one after another, the system notifications chimed in his mind.
Ding... Your followers sacrificed the blood of the Yiqi Dao League, triggering a hundredfold increase. You have obtained the immortal skill [Nameless Sword Heart].
Ding... Your followers sacrificed members of the Yiqi Dao League, triggering a thousandfold increase. You have obtained the magic technique [Jilan Icecloud].
Ding... Your followers sacrificed members of the Yiqi Dao League, triggering a thousandfold increase. You have obtained the magic skill [Heaven-Destroying].
Ding... Your followers sacrificed the Daughter of Destiny—Dongfang Huaizhu, triggering a ten-thousandfold increase. You have obtained the Blood of the Spirit Race; additional reward: the supreme divine art [Six Paths of Dry Flame].
Ding... Your followers sacrificed the Giant Tree of Misery, triggering a millionfold increase. You have obtained the super-rare law—[The Way of Love].
Remark: The Giant Tree of Misery, once a world-supporting pillar, absorbed the power of love for countless years and has finally transformed.
[The Way of Love]:
A law never before seen in the Divine Realm, now merged with the body of God. You are the true master of the Way of Love.
There are no more restrictions, no other beings can even glimpse the depth of your divine power.
Liu Che's pupils widened with excitement.
"A complete law! I actually acquired a full law—unbelievable!"
In the world of the gods, what is truly most precious?
Not fragments of worlds.
Not even devout believers.
Not magical power or supernatural ability.
It's the true laws of reality.
As worlds grow and collapse, countless gods rise and fall.
But the few who stand eternal, the true lords atop the mountains—
Every one of them has a single trait in common:
They each possess a law that belongs to them alone.
Take, for example, the Law of Light.
Although Liu Che had mastered the supreme divine arts, he never possessed the complete Law itself.
Legends said the full Law of Light was shattered at the very dawn of creation—its fragments spread throughout the cosmos, nearly impossible to gather.
But now… a complete law, in my hands!
He stared at the Way of Love—a luminous, pink orb the size of a peach, brimming with warmth and unimaginable power.
It looked innocent, almost cute.
But the force within was unlike anything Liu Che had ever encountered.
Whole. Complete. Pure.
If anyone else knew, they would wage war for this alone.
Everyone longs for transcendence, and this law is the very key to breaking through!
As [The Way of Love] fused into his being, God's Domain itself seemed to pause.
Time stopped.
Space itself froze.
In an instant, divine power surged, spreading through every corner of the world.
God's Domain expanded—clouds of infinite divinity rolling across the heavens.
Thunder rumbled.
The realm grew vaster still, now developing into distinct layers and realms.
The sun above blazed with new intensity, for Liu Che now wielded a second supreme divine art—the element of fire itself.
Not only that, but the transparent current of the Way of Love spread throughout God's Domain, establishing itself as a fundamental rule of the world.
When the transformation ended, God's Domain spanned tens of thousands of solar systems.
Ten massive nebula clusters shimmered at the edge of reality.
In that moment, Liu Che rose to become a true Lord God—a level of strength previously only imagined.
His power now stood far above even the greatest Lords of old.
The inhabitants of God's Domain began to awaken, slowly realizing that the world itself had changed.
First was Ao Qian, the Azure Dragon King.
A true dragon, he guided the power of the stars and soared through the heavens.
Now he could move at will—nothing could halt him, nothing could harm him.
"The power of God has grown even greater!" Ao Qian exclaimed in awe.
Li Er sat atop his palace on the Immortal Peak, staring speechless at the endless expanse of stars.
"My status has dropped again…"
He used to be able to sense the terrifying sun above.
Now, his immortal realm was shunted to a tiny corner, the sun reduced to a mere orb in the sky.
That orb was a Golden Crow, born from the fire magic of the Lord God.
Since Li Shimin's world could not withstand the eternal flames of the Lord's stage, it had been relocated to the periphery.
Not only that, Liu Che had gifted him a newborn Golden Crow.
This was the road of creation—
If the Golden Crow ever emerged from the sun, it would be the beginning of a new world, much like Master Xiao Luan's own achievement.
But she was a nine-star creator; even attaining creation, others only reached a single star.
Such was the difference in power.
Still, without true strength, you can't suppress rivals like Chi Huang Liuyan.
Outside, in the Infinite Realms—
Because Liu Che now held the Law of Love, the starry sky of all God's Domain was suffused with fragments of that law.
But these were only scraps, not the real thing.
Xiao Luan sat atop the Infinity Tower, staring at the shimmering heavens.
"The laws resonate… Someone has mastered a complete law. How is that possible?!"
Her beautiful face was filled with shock.
A complete law was impossibly rare—even among the greatest gods of Chi Huang Liuyan's lineage, only a handful possessed one, and those who did could break free from this layer of existence.
They were the true masters, high above, gazing down on all beings.
Xiao Luan, trembling with excitement, tried to peer through the haze of love-energy, searching for the new master.
All the nine-star creators in the dimension did the same, calculating and divining.
But all anyone saw was a pink radiance—beyond that, nothing.
Nothing could be discerned.
"Damn it… This power is beyond my ability to fathom!"
She opened her eyes, defeated.
The Law's power was too concealing, too perfect.
It could not be probed, nor approached, nor predicted.
So this is what it means to stand at the top…
Feeling a blend of excitement and despair, Xiao Luan slumped back on her bed, lips drawn into a sulk.
She was so frustrated she could hang a bottle from the corner of her mouth.
"Forget it, I'll just mind my own business."
She got up, intending to ride a starry qilin into the night—but the moment she left her room, she sensed a familiar breakthrough in the distance.
A disciple had ascended to the Lord God stage—and the aura was all too familiar.
"Liu Che? He broke through."
Xiao Luan teleported at once to his chambers, only to find the air thick with pink, loving mist.
If she couldn't recognize which law Liu Che had mastered, she'd have to be a fool.
"So you're the one, you little brat!" Xiao Luan muttered, her tone a complicated mix of admiration and resentment.
The complete law… I can't even resist its influence…
Frustrated, she turned and stormed out, not noticing how the pink energy shaped itself into a heart within her own divine realm.
The Way of Love.
All living things possess it.
No god, no creature, no soul can resist its power—no matter how hard they try.
Xiao Luan thought escaping would save her, but the Way of Love had already subtly woven itself into her world.
Within God's Domain
Dongfang Huaizhu climbed the steps to Ziwei Palace to pay her respects.
Dressed in an emerald coat over a plain skirt, a green flute at her waist and a jade pendant symbolizing the Vulcan family, she was the very image of gentle, noble beauty—
Classic, virtuous, with a proud bearing.
"Greetings to the Eternal God," she said softly, bowing so low her forehead touched the polished stone. Her body trembled with awe.
A gentle voice came from above. "Look up."
"Yes…"
Huaizhu looked up—and was startled.
The Eternal God looked so… human.
But behind him blazed countless radiant streams of divine light, lending him an unearthly nobility.
One of the attending goddesses, seeing Huaizhu's gaze linger on the young woman beside the god, frowned in displeasure.
"Do not stare at the God, novice goddess."
Her voice was crisp and strict. "You should know better—never gaze directly at the Lord. A glance is enough."
Huaizhu blushed, quickly bowing her head.
Why did I look? Was it curiosity… or something else?
Her heart pounded uncontrollably, as if a deer were bounding in her chest.
The Eternal God's voice was gentle:
"It's all right. The blood of the Eastern aristocratic family is weaker here.
I now bestow upon you the blood of the Spirit Race and a fragment of the Law of Fire.
Train diligently—if you reach the eight-star level, you'll be able to visit your family in the lower realm."
"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace."
Joy and gratitude filled Huaizhu's heart—but when she looked up, the God had already vanished.
The young woman beside the Lord, however, snorted:
"Don't get too proud just because you received a reward. It will take endless effort to reach your potential.
And as for sharing a bed with the Lord—unless he commands it, you should just focus on your training. There are many ahead of you in line."
"Yes, I understand…"
Why does she keep talking about sharing a bed? Huaizhu wondered, embarrassed.
So inappropriate…
Soon, she was led to the training ground. Along the way, Huaizhu saw many goddesses—some graceful as celestials, others strange as demons.
Just being among them made her anxious.
She whispered, "Are there really evil powers here in the God Realm?"
Her companion—Hina—paused and eyed her with faint contempt.
"What is justice, and what is evil?" she asked pointedly.
Huaizhu pondered this deeply, realizing there was more to the question than met the eye.
Before she could respond, Hina continued,
"The Eternal God is unique. All things come from him.
Your shallow notions of good and evil are meaningless here.
Light may seem holy, darkness may look demonic—but in the eyes of God, they are both his own creation.
You still have much to learn."
