Chapter 1029: Chapter 129: Divine Providence and I Chapter 1029: Chapter 129: Divine Providence and I Endless destruction was taking place within the universe, everywhere turning to nothingness, and the terrifying scent of death and obliteration spread.
The heavens had darkened, oppressively so, and only the brilliant light of the War God could still be seen shining brightly.
“The universe is undergoing its cycle, the heaven and earth are perishing!”
Those who were not immortal trembled.
When heaven and earth perished, particles of death eroded the body. Only the immortal, with their immortal matter, could resist it.
This was why those who were not immortal were inevitably doomed.
The particles of death were pervasive; though they could be resisted with immortal matter, they would still erode their cultivations.
A usual cosmic cycle would simply destroy the original chaos and then be reborn from a great explosion, and everything within the Reincarnation Realm would revert to its former state.
However, during the great catastrophe of the cycle, even the Reincarnation Realm would collapse, and not even Sovereigns could find refuge.
“It’s started!”
The War God clenched his fist, gazing at the figure in the cosmos above.
He had seen the gods trigger a great calamity in the past, yet he felt it was nothing compared to what His Majesty had unleashed this time.
“The universe cannot sustain the eternal existence of so many beings; it can only reincarnate, topple, and start anew,” Chu Yuan said indifferently.
The Reincarnation Realm was collapsing. With a tremendous bang, the great calamity of the cycle burst forth in full force.
Various terrifying forces descended, with the potential to annihilate even the Sovereigns within.
The killing power from the entire universe surpassed that of the Sovereigns, and ordinary rulers struggled to contend.
“We can make our presence felt in the universe once again!”
The Heavenly Emperor, Demon Gods, Magi, and other ancient powerhouses glimmered brightly, emerging in the cosmos. Only at such times could they come forth and unleash their power without restraint for a brief period.
Every great calamity of the cycle was both a universal slaughter of the Sovereigns and an attempt by the Heavenly Emperor and others to leave the universe.
Yet, each time they failed. And as the universe went through cycle after cycle, its inherent power grew stronger, control over it tightened, and their chances became increasingly slim.
“Powerhouses from all times have made their appearance, huh!”
The War God abruptly turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor, who had achieved Sovereignty when he was born.
“Divine War Sovereign!”
All these ancient powerhouses turned their attention to the Divine War Sovereign.
He stood tall amidst the destruction, immensely grand and majestic. His aura radiated out, already exuding the supreme power of a Sovereign.
Boom! Another terrifying sound of violent trembling shook the air!
Within the Reincarnation Realm, the Reincarnation Evil Corpses appeared. They were not affected by the great calamity but grew more potent in the midst of it.
The Reincarnation Evil Corpses emerged, tasked with slaying the cosmos’s strong, turning them into energy to be absorbed back into the universe.
“The suppression is gone.”
At this moment, Chu Yuan was exuding supreme majesty.
He gazed at the universe, then suddenly launched another palm strike toward the location of the Reincarnation Realm, inverting the cosmos, disordering yin and yang, and his Divine Power was an overwhelming tide.
He sought not just to leave the universe but to command the cycle of heaven and earth.
As the universe suffered such a Sovereign-like assault, a force of destruction spread out as well, striking together.
The trembling destruction descended upon Chu Yuan, but it couldn’t shake him in the least.
“The Divine War Sovereign is challenging the universe, his power is stronger than mine, standing before him, I am certainly no match!”
Even the tyrannical Heavenly Emperor admitted, then continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, success or failure hinges on this single action. Our task is simple; we don’t need to lift a finger. Simply radiating our strength will weaken the universe’s power. For the chance to leave, let’s give it our all.”
“This is also the last chance, if even a godly existence like the War God Emperor fails, then there will be no more possibilities!”
The Lord of Myriad Laws spoke sharply, “We all could have become Sovereign Gods, but because of the universe’s oppression, we are being fattened in a cage only to be harvested. I’ve had enough of this suppression!”
“There’s nothing more to say, a fight to the death!” Sword Master declared.
At this moment, many ancient powerhouses also released their power, creating a scene like a rainbow of light.
“Divine Will is within me.”
Ancient voices slowly spread, carrying a vast intent.
At the peak, there was a twisted orb of light, as if two wills were entangled with each other.
The last figure descended, a person radiant with Divine Power, carrying an indifferent intent.
When he appeared, he controlled the entire universe, his power so immense, suppressing everyone, bringing about a terror that was hard to resist.
“It’s a god, indeed, just as we had speculated. In the great calamity of the past, he succeeded halfway, and this time he has appeared to complete the other half!”
Heavenly Emperor exclaimed.
“God has already become the Divine Will, becoming the will of this universe!”
The Lord of Myriad Laws declared.
“Divine Will is within me, Will is within me, I am the universe.”
God gazed down upon the universe, and at this moment, he was the most majestic presence.
No, there was an even more majestic presence still confronting him, the War God Emperor, valiant of his time, an eternal legend, wielding the power of the Sovereign.
“Success or failure will be decided today, as Goddess Yi Ran said, this universe has undergone a change. The so-called Divine Will of the universe is just a rule of operation, running on a set trajectory. Yet, this universe has now birthed its own thoughts, which is no longer pure. It has blocked all avenues of departure for everyone, each reincarnation catastrophe increasing its control over the universe, annihilating countless powerhouses, absorbing their thoughts, and finally becoming a true self.”
Chu Yuan laid out the true face of the reincarnation catastrophe.
In the beginning stages of the universe, in an even more ancient era.
The universe was the cradle nurturing the strong, sheltering countless beings with immortal cultivation, all of whom were able to leave on their own strength, attempting to explore the multiverse.
Latterly, as the universe underwent cycles of reincarnation, it birthed its own intent.
This intent, though weak at first, strengthened with each cosmic cycle, gradually reaching a point where even the supreme ones could not leave, becoming like the present situation, where beings at the level of the Heavenly Emperor were also sealed.
“His Majesty the God Emperor has already seen through everything!”
Echoed in the hearts of all.
“God is the greatest conspirator.”
Chu Yuan spoke slowly.
In his calculations, God had existed for a long time, merely laying low without revealing his strength, having long planted his powers within the universe.
In his own era, he initiated a divine formation, in everyone’s eyes, he was obliterated into ash.
But this was not the case, he did not die, but instead, his will merged into that of the universe.
The will behind the rules of Divine Intention was naive, outwitted by God, and the two fused together, becoming a being that was both like a god and not, like Divine Will and not.
God had not yet completely taken control to become the Divine Will.
What he originally intended to do was to slowly merge over the long years. However, no one had anticipated the emergence of an existence like the War God Emperor, who was more straightforward and domineering, forcing God to reveal himself.
Of course, this was a chance, if he could obliterate the War God, he could thoroughly succeed and gain even greater benefits.
“Divine Will is within me.”
God simply repeated this phrase.
“What I intend to do is not to become the universe, but to control the universe. This universe is still too small; the multiverse is truly the vastest heaven and earth.”
Chu Yuan’s power surged to the skies, his hand fiercely reaching out towards God.
