After admiring his own configuration, Ye Lan began to resurrect the fallen citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Myriad Beast Empire. As long as they were not unforgivable villains or evil spirit beasts, they would all be brought back to life.
Following that, he resurrected the countless heroes who had perished during the Abyssal Invasion, as well as the innocent lives slaughtered by Tang Hao, Tang San, and the Clear Sky School.
Back then, in order to script the most despairing future for Tang Hao and to harvest Tang San's God King-level spirit rings and spirit bones, he had been unable to stop the father-and-son duo from massacring the innocent.
But now, they would all receive Ye Lan's salvation.
Zhao Wuji, Emperor Xue Ye, Li Village, Fuzu Village, the villagers from various townships, the members of the Spirit Hall branch temples, and so on...
All the victims of the murderous sins committed by Tang Hao and his son were completely redeemed by Ye Lan. The moment they were brought back to life, they marveled at the beauty of the Douluo Divine Star.
Today's Douluo Divine Star was no different from the Immortal Realm. Every breath of the immortal spiritual energy brought unimaginable changes to their mortal bodies.
The instant Zhao Wuji was resurrected, he prostrated himself on the ground in overwhelming excitement, kowtowing a full nine times.
After learning about the tragic fate that had befallen Tang Hao and his son, he burst into delighted, roaring laughter: "Hahahahaha!!! Your endings are just like clowns!!!"
"Lord Ye Lan!!! It is my, Zhao Wuji's, utmost fortune to have gained your appreciation!!"
Finally, Ye Lan took a deep breath and extended his divine sense toward Harvest Village.
With a single thought, the parents who had been murdered by Tang Hao all those years ago were instantly resurrected in Harvest Village.
A bold, black-haired man and a blue-haired woman who bore a slight resemblance to Ye Lan suddenly appeared in the fields of Harvest Village. A gentle breeze swept past, rustling the golden stalks of wheat.
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes before embracing tightly.
"Tianyang!!"
"Qingqing!!!"
Just as the two were pouring out thousands of words of longing, Ye Lan wrapped his arms around them both and said, "Father, Mother. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Ye Tianyang and Liu Qingqing sensed the presence of a gentle, jade-like man with blue-gold hair. With just one glance, they asked with excited hesitation, "Lan'er??!"
"It's me!!!" Ye Lan laughed freely.
"Good, good, good!!! Truly worthy of being my, Ye Tianyang's, son!!"
"Lan'er has grown so much!! Quickly, tell Mom, is there any girl you like?"
"Cough, cough..."
"Little Lan, what exactly happened to your mother and me? Weren't we..."
After resurrecting his parents, Ye Lan directly utilized the authorities of "Equivalent Exchange" and the "Douluo Divine Star" to begin wholesaling Godhoods.
All of his friends and family who had not yet reached the hundredth rank were directly granted divine power. Using his "Ye Lan" Godhood, he forged divine bones and then directly created Godhoods for them to inherit.
Among them, those who received the Double Super God King positions were:
God of the Sun and Angels — Qian Renxue.
God of Evil and Demonic Spiders — Bibi Dong.
God of Spirit and the Dragon God — Gu Yuena.
God of Kindness and Life — Ye Lingling.
God of Space and Meow — Zhu Zhuqing.
God of Support and Nine Treasures — Ning Rongrong.
God of Death and Wither — Dugu Yan.
God of Charm and Love — Hu Liena.
God of Ice and Phoenix — Shui Bing'er.
God of Fire and the Main Body — Huo Wu.
God of Speed and the Blue Luan — Bai Chenxiang.
God of Holiness and the Swan — Xue Ke.
God of Snow and Souls — Snow Empress; God of the Ice Jade Scorpion and Sluggishness — Ice Empress.
God of Devouring and the Demonic Dragon — Xiao Zi.
God of Metal and the White Tiger — Ye Tianyang.
God of Wood and the Blue Silver — Liu Qingqing.
The Super God King positions went to:
God of the Blue Silver Emperor — Ah Yin.
Twelve-Winged Seraphim — Qian Daoliu.
Seven Kill Sword Sovereign — Chen Xin.
Bone Dragon King — Gu Rong.
God of the Jade Phosphor Serpent — Dugu Bo.
God of the Starry Sky — Silver Wolf.
God of Spirit Beasts — Di Tian.
Ye Lan's Uncle — Tom.
Ye Lan's Uncle Tao — Su Yuntao.
First-Class Gods:
God of the Skydream Iceworm — Tianmeng.
God of the Titan Great Ape — Er Ming.
God of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale — Xiao Hai.
God of the Soft-Bone Rabbit — Xiao Wu.
Anyone who was on good terms with Ye Lan, or any person or spirit beast who had shown him kindness, received a Godhood bestowed by him.
There were also some who chose not to inherit the throne of a God King, instead steadfastly choosing to become Ye Lan's believers. Examples included the Blue Silver Grass he had created—the Radiant Being Little Blue, the Blue Silver King, and others.
Towards these devout followers of his, Ye Lan was equally generous without hesitation.
Believe in Ye Lan, and attain eternal life!
After helping his relatives and friends ascend to godhood, Ye Lan used "Equivalent Exchange" to drag the original Divine Realm straight out from the unknown depths of space-time.
Countless deities of the Divine Realm, who had been hopelessly trapped in a dark quagmire, were left astounded by the vast magnitude of the Divine Star and the terrifying power of its ruler, the God Ye Lan.
In the eyes of these deities, the God Ye Lan's strength had long surpassed their understanding of the God of Creation by an immeasurable margin.
Once the former Divine Realm appeared upon the Douluo Divine Star, all the deities abandoned their old home and migrated to live in the Douluo Divine Realm. The former Divine Realm then directly fused with the Douluo Divine Realm, becoming nothing more than an island within it.
After saving the Divine Realm, Ye Lan resurrected those who had shown him grace all those years ago: the God of Life, the God of Destruction, the Water Dragon King, and the Fire Dragon King, bestowing upon them the titles of Super God Kings.
The God of Life and the God of Destruction wept tears of extreme joy, embracing each other tightly.
They hadn't needed to wait ten thousand years at all. It had merely been a brief moment since their deaths, yet Ye Lan had actually saved the entire Divine Realm and even created a Divine Star!!
From this moment on, they would never have to be separated again!!
Meanwhile, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings sighed in awe, reflecting on their decision to choose Ye Lan back then. That single choice had brought the spirit beast clan a return on investment millions of times over.
Over in the Child of Light Divine Realm, the Light God King, Changgong Wei, jolted awake from a terrible nightmare.
He was drenched in cold sweat, his face deathly pale, and his pupils unfocused. Looking just like a mere mortal, he lacked even the slightest demeanor of a God King.
"What is happening!!?" the Light God King Changgong Wei muttered to himself.
For quite some time now, he had been having a recurring dream. In that dream, he became a mortal, eventually achieving dual godhood, defeating the evil Angel God and Rakshasa God, and subsequently living a perfect, happy life in the Divine Realm.
But recently, that dream had changed. The new dream was far too agonizing.
His sect was annihilated, his lover was reduced to another's slave, and his own flesh, soul, and dignity were completely stripped away.
He suffered through this terrifying nightmare every single day. Yet, every time he woke up, the contents of the dream would become a blurry haze in his mind.
However, the pain in his heart was all too real. Every time he awoke, his entire body felt as though it were being incinerated by raging hellfire.
The Light God King Changgong Wei decided to use his prophetic magic to seek out the place his dream transported him to.
Several years later, the Light God King Changgong Wei appeared outside the Douluo Divine Star. He stared in absolute shock at the gargantuan planet. This giant planet was millions of times larger than the one he had lived on in the lower realms, and its vitality seemed to be entirely boundless.
Beyond the massive Divine Star, out in open space, there were numerous Third-Class Gods guiding meteorites and small planets to move toward the Douluo Divine Star.
The moment those celestial bodies made contact with the Douluo Divine Star's atmosphere, they transformed into a burst of divine radiance and fused with the star.
"Phew!! This really isn't easy!! Who knows when we'll be able to accumulate enough contribution points to pay off the loan for this Third-Class Godhood," sighed a red-haired Third-Class God.
"You should be glad you even have work to do. By the way, what exactly is your relationship with 'Him'? To actually secure a loan for a Third-Class Godhood?? You should know, it took me a Herculean effort just to beg for Ye Lan's Uncle Tao's favor. Plus, my village has some historical ties with the Harvest Divine Village, which is the only reason I got this chance," lamented another green-haired Third-Class God.
"Hehe!! The God of Ye Lan's Uncle and I are distant relatives," the red-haired Third-Class God chuckled.
The green-haired Third-Class God sighed deeply. "That exalted being has truly exhausted his heart and soul for our Douluo Divine Star. Aside from the entities who had a relationship with him back then, anyone who wants to become a god now must make tangible contributions to the Douluo Divine Star."
"Ever since the Douluo Divine Star advanced to this state, who knows how many divine-level talents have awakened, or how many beings born with innate level-thirty spirit power now exist."
"But if they don't go out to conquer evil planes, or work as planetary porters like us, wanting to become a god is just a pipe dream."
The red-haired Third-Class God replied, "Even if you don't become a god, living for ten thousand years is enough, right? If I didn't know that 'He' could precisely erase memories and allow for unlimited rebirths to experience the true meaning of life, I wouldn't have bothered trying to become a god at all."
"As the saying goes, if you want to be a dragon or elephant among the Buddhas, you must first toil like the horses and oxen of the sentient beings!!!"
"Huh, an outsider god?" Another Third-Class God noticed the presence of the Light God King Changgong Wei.
"So what? Come on, let's keep collecting meteors." The two merely cast a passing glance before continuing their journey into the void.
The Light God King Changgong Wei stared at the departing figures of the two Third-Class Gods in absolute bewilderment. These Third-Class Gods were so arrogant that they didn't even put a magnificent God King like him in their eyes??
One must know, back in the Child of Light Divine Realm, which Third-Class God didn't revere him like an ancestral idol??
Watching their fading silhouettes, the Light God King Changgong Wei suppressed the rising fury in his heart and charged into the interior of the Douluo Divine Star.
He was determined to see exactly what profound mysteries lay within the destination guided by his dreams, and how the "him" in the dream was faring on this Divine Star.
Surely, with his status as the Lord of a Divine Realm, if he facilitated the fusion of the Child of Light Divine Realm with this Divine Star, they would at least give him a minor official position, right?
However, the moment Changgong Wei entered the Divine Star, he immediately felt his strength being violently suppressed by the planet itself.
His spatial teleportation abilities, which he usually utilized with casual ease, were completely disabled. He simply couldn't tear through the spatial density of the Douluo Divine Star.
The newly arrived Light God King Changgong Wei was given a harsh display of dominance by the Douluo Divine Star right out of the gate. Consequently, he picked a nearby Divine City populated by human activity and flew toward it.
Upon reaching the airspace above the Divine City, the Light God King Changgong Wei was utterly paralyzed with shock by the central temple.
In the central plaza of the Divine City stood a truly magnificent statue.
The statue towered over ten thousand meters high. Resting in the palm of its sleeve was a miniature sun radiating a brilliant orange-gold light, looking as if the deity had literally grasped the sun in the palm of its hand.
Behind the statue floated countless blue and white stars, making the deity's face appear even more majestic and awe-inspiring.
As the Light God King Changgong Wei looked at the statue holding the sun, moon, and stars in its hands, an inexplicable sense of disgust welled up in his heart.
"Heh, so what if you are a God of Creation? Do you really think you can hold the sun in your hands? These ignorant believers should really have a limit to how much they flatter their own deity."
"Absolutely brainless," the Light God King Changgong Wei mocked internally.
Yet, right as Changgong Wei sneered, an inexplicable, profound terror suddenly surged from the very depths of his soul. He felt as though he had been targeted by some unfathomable, unknown existence.
Instantly, Changgong Wei perceived the overwhelming malice of the entire world bearing down on him. Terrified, he immediately dropped to his knees in the empty air.
Only after a long while did the world's malice gradually recede.
But Changgong Wei could vaguely sense that this world had slowly begun to reject him.
The Light God King Changgong Wei hastily banished all disrespectful thoughts from his mind and then began to observe the other structures within the Divine City.
Aside from the magnificent statue of the "God Ye Lan," there were also temples dedicated to Angels, Demonic Spiders, and others. After assessing all the temples, the Light God King Changgong Wei realized for the very first time the terrifying foundational strength of the Douluo Divine Star.
The deities backing those individual temples were absolutely no weaker than him—some were even stronger!!
Suppressing the dread in his heart, the Light God King Changgong Wei began to wander aimlessly through the Divine City.
Before long, he arrived at a dark, ominous architectural complex dominated by black and blood-red hues.
Hung prominently over the lintel of the main hall was a black plaque, with the words "Hall of Atonement" inscribed in bold, flamboyant calligraphy.
Outside the Hall of Atonement, groups of Douluo divine citizens were gathered in tight crowds.
Sharp slapping sounds and venomous curses constantly echoed from within.
As the Light God King Changgong Wei pushed his way through the crowd, some of the people he shoved aside looked at him in shock, their mouths falling open involuntarily.
The moment he finally squeezed to the front, he witnessed a scene that made his blood run ice-cold from head to toe.
Kneeling before the Hall of Atonement was a man whose face was a ninety-nine percent match to his own. The kneeling figure was being viciously slapped across the face by one person after another.
The cheeks of the kneeling man were visibly discolored compared to the rest of his skin, evidently the result of enduring prolonged, relentless slaps.
"How dare you!!!" The Light God King roared in absolute fury!!
The moment the others saw the Light God King Changgong Wei, their eyes instantly contracted in pure rage: "!!@#, how did this animal Tang San escape!!"
"The traitor of Douluo, Tang San, has escaped!!"
"Everyone, attack together!!"
"Catch him quickly!!!!"
In a split second, before the Light God King Changgong Wei could even unleash his wrath, he was entirely submerged by an endless barrage of attacks.
Surrounded and brutally beaten by countless people, Changgong Wei trembled with unparalleled fury. A beam of pure white light erupted from him, annihilating everything within a thousand-meter radius into nothingness.
The Light God King Changgong Wei roared indignantly, "A pack of lowly scoundrels, how dare you provoke the wrath of a God King!!!"
But as Changgong Wei raised his eyes, he saw that the kneeling statue of Tang San remained standing perfectly intact, completely unharmed.
"How is that possible!!" Cold sweat broke out across Changgong Wei's forehead.
The next second, something even more horrifying occurred: time and space in his surroundings began to flow backward.
Flesh, bone fragments, dirt, trees, buildings, floor tiles—everything that should have been destroyed by his power—restored itself at a blistering speed.
In less than a few seconds, all the destruction had been entirely undone.
But there was one crucial difference this time. Standing right next to the kneeling statue of Tang San was a young man with blue-gold hair.
That young man was none other than the living embodiment of the ten-thousand-meter-tall statue!!
The God Ye Lan!!
The instant Ye Lan appeared, every Douluo deity and citizen—with the sole exception of the Light God King Changgong Wei—looked upon him with fanatical reverence. They immediately moved to kneel on the ground.
However, before their knees could even touch the floor, an invisible divine force gently propped them up.
"There is no need for this. Everyone, disperse," Ye Lan said evenly.
"Yes, Lord!!" The countless Douluo divine citizens withdrew from the Hall of Atonement like a receding tide. Their faces were flushed with excitement; nothing was luckier than beholding Ye Lan's true form in person.
Meanwhile, the Light God King Changgong Wei's body went completely rigid, his pupils darting around wildly.
The miracle of time and space reversal just now made him acutely aware of the unfathomable cosmic power possessed by the person standing before him.
Ye Lan looked at the God King who bore a ninety-nine percent resemblance to Tang San and asked with a hint of amusement, "Who are you? And why have you come here?"
While the Light God King Changgong Wei was hesitating, his body completely betrayed his control. Speaking entirely on its own, it replied, "I am the Lord of the Child of Light Divine Realm, the Light God King Changgong Wei. Due to suffering from terrible nightmares, I came here to search for clues."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Light God King Changgong Wei felt a crushing wave of regret for ever stepping foot onto the Douluo Divine Star.
It was clear that his life and death rested entirely on Ye Lan's mere thought. Was that the legendary power of dictating reality through words??
The Light God King Changgong Wei tentatively extended his senses to probe Ye Lan. To his absolute astonishment, the man standing in front of him made zero effort to conceal his aura.
Or rather, this being was not the least bit afraid of anyone's scrutiny.
One piece, two pieces... fifteen pieces!!
A grand total of fifteen Creation-tier Immortal Artifacts!!
The Light God King Changgong Wei's legs turned to jelly, and he slumped directly onto the ground, a flash of pure despair crossing his eyes.
If he had even a single Creation-tier Immortal Artifact, he would have the absolute certainty to elevate the Child of Light Divine Realm into a Divine Star.
The fifteen Creation-tier Immortal Artifacts possessed by the being before him proved unequivocally that the Divine Star so many gods yearned for was nothing more than a plaything in His hands.
Was there any Creation-tier Immortal Artifact that wasn't billions of times more precious than a Divine Star itself?
While the Light God King Changgong Wei wallowed in despair, Ye Lan's divine sense swept through the God King's divine soul.
All the information contained within the divine soul was instantly grasped. After processing the information, Ye Lan understood the karmic connection between Changgong Wei and Tang San.
It could be said that Tang San's existence was a direct result of Changgong Wei.
Tang San's life experiences had been heavily influenced by the Light God King Changgong Wei's subconscious. Although the process might have had its twists and turns, ultimately, Tang San was destined to become the Sea God and Asura God from the Light God King Changgong Wei's dreams, eventually ascending to become the Lord of the Divine Realm.
Because the Light God King Changgong Wei's subconscious influenced Tang San, Tang San's subsequent changes naturally fed back and influenced the Light God King Changgong Wei. This was the exact root cause of the Light God King Changgong Wei's endless nightmares.
"Do you realize you are guilty?" Ye Lan murmured softly.
The Light God King Changgong Wei's legs trembled violently as he stammered, "I am not guilty!! I am not guilty!!"
"They were merely mortals!!"
Ye Lan looked at Changgong Wei and shook his head. Setting aside the bloody massacres he had indirectly caused, the mere fact that his subconscious had shaped the existence of the repulsive Tang San was his greatest sin of all.
"Then you shall join your own Tang San and become the second kneeling statue of the Hall of Atonement."
The very instant Ye Lan spoke, before the Light God King Changgong Wei could even react, his physical body exploded violently.
His flesh, blood, and soul were instantly refined into a Super God King-level spirit soul and divine bone.
The Light God King Changgong Wei was horrified to find himself suddenly confined within a world of absolute darkness.
Within that pitch-black world burned a wisp of eternal divine fire. As the Light God King Changgong Wei looked closely, he realized that the one being incinerated by the divine fire was... himself?
No!! That was Tang San!!!
In the very next second, divine fire erupted violently upon the Light God King Changgong Wei's own divine soul.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
The agonized screams of Tang San and Changgong Wei echoed back and forth, blending into a horrifying symphony of eternal suffering.
And outside, beside the kneeling statue of Tang San at every "Hall of Atonement" across the Douluo Divine Star, a new kneeling statue of Changgong Wei materialized.
Countless years later, relying on the "Ye Lan Godhood," "Equivalent Exchange," "Heart of Steel," and "Foresight," Ye Lan's strength had long since stepped into the realms of the unknown.
Back when the cosmic consciousness of the Douluo Universe first perceived Ye Lan's existence...
Merely by sensing Ye Lan's presence, the cosmic consciousness exploded directly due to the sheer malice it inherently emanated.
Thus, Ye Lan inexplicably became the Lord of the Universe. The moment he ascended to this cosmic throne, he could clearly perceive the existence of countless parallel universes and the broader multiverse.
Subsequently, the God King Tang Sans and Creation God Tang Sans across all those countless parallel universes were systematically plucked from reality by him and thrown into the "Hall of Atonement" to endure the torture of the eternal divine fire.
As for the futures that had been tainted and altered by the parallel universe Tang Sans...
The futures of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Gu Yuena, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were directly rewritten by him within the River of Time and Space.
In the parallel universes, all of them lived blissfully happy lives in their respective worlds, constantly searching for a fleeting, familiar silhouette that occasionally flashed past.
When Ye Lan fully mastered the River of Time and Space across all countless universes, the past, present, and future prosperity or destruction of any universe rested entirely upon his single thought.
With but a thought, he founded the Blue Star Time-Travel Administration.
On a certain year and a certain day, within the welfare department of the Blue Star Time-Travel Administration, a notification was suddenly received regarding a new task issued by the higher-ups.
Task: Distribute achievement rewards for Agent ID Ye Lan #77889...
