Arad's unruly savior

When the Lord of the End turned around, the light in his eyes was like a thunderclap illuminating the night, piercing through heaven and earth in an instant, boundless and endless.

The gods who were spying on this place all cried out in alarm, then hurriedly closed their eyes. They encountered something terrible: their eternally immortal spiritual light shook violently and was difficult to control, as if it was about to leave their bodies and be uprooted.

"The mark, His mark has been left in the light of our hearts, which can influence our consciousness and behavior to a certain extent." Many gods' expressions darkened, their brows furrowed. They had never expected the Lord of the End's methods to be so astonishing, and they had encountered great trouble.

Beside the Lord of the End, countless distorted void rifts surged forth, emanating an aura of destruction that threatened to annihilate everything. Then, the world He inhabited exploded with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments that overlapped and intertwined, reflecting each other in endless variations. And His true form stood behind this infinite mystery.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if dark clouds were pressing down, a storm was brewing, and the end of the world was imminent. Even the gods dared not cast a single glance at them, their hearts filled with unease. In the end, He did not make a move against Remy, who was in his advanced state.

"The Path of Chaos can evolve into the Path of Illusion, which means that the power of the other seven paths should be no exception, including the End. But even so, you have not been able to integrate the second path." The Lord of the End spoke slowly, his will filled with doubt and inquiry.

Even at a time like this, He still had the mind to talk to Ye Lin.

The original goddess of life and light, Remedios, had already passed the first eight tribulations, proving the feasibility of her aptitude. In the end, she should have completely broken off with Him, unable to resonate and unable to advance. However, at the critical moment, Ye Lin continued her journey with the Path of Chaos.

He was quite surprised; this was indeed an unexpected event.

Ye Lin nodded slightly. At this point, there was no point in continuing to hide. Part of the power of the Chaos Path had already been calculated by the other Creator Ranks. Moreover, since he had decided to continue Remy's path, he did not expect to be able to easily hide from the spying of the Lord of the End and others.

Chaos can evolve into the power of the other eight paths, which, while not as powerful as the main body's descent, are still at more than half the level.

In other words, Ye Lin himself can be considered half of the Lord of the End.

A deeper doubt flashed across the cold and majestic face of the Lord of the End. Instead of feeling relieved, He began to doubt the feasibility of His method, and a faint pain appeared between His brows.

Admittedly, Ye Lin, as the first to be promoted to the Creation Rank, could not see the road ahead after the promotion and stopped making progress. He was also blinded by the boundless fog. This was naturally a good thing for him as an opponent he would inevitably fight in the future.

However, the Lord of the End possesses great self-confidence and pride, and is not pleased by the stagnation of his opponents. He seeks a path that is deeper and more powerful than that of the Night Forest.

In fact, the Lord of the End held extremely high expectations and confidence in the power of chaos, believing that the Zero Path would be the key. Otherwise, He would not have taken the initiative to exchange the Ninth Path with Night Forest. He believed that the Zero Path could break through all the fog and the unknown.

However, Ye Lin has already admitted that his path cannot merge with the second path of the rank. The eight paths of chaotic evolution can even continue the nine tribulations of creation, which are terrifying in power. Even so, he still cannot do it. So, is the method he speculated really feasible?

The method with the highest probability of success has failed. Although the Lord of the End is confident, he cannot help but have some doubts and suspicions. Is Ye Lin lying? After a long time, he finally sighed, with a hint of melancholy, and said, "Nine Paths, how can we return to oneness?"

There's no need to lie. Based on speculation, whoever can accommodate the second path will have a huge advantage over the single-path positions.

The Creator's position is immortal and indestructible, but it's not entirely without a solution; at least Carlos managed to come up with a way for himself.

The Lord of the End asked, "When you were close to your ascension, you entered a special state. Did you re-enter it afterward?"

At that time, Ye Lin was still pioneering and exploring how to advance to the Creator rank. He only had a superficial understanding of the Nine Tribulations of Creation. In a sense, he relied entirely on his head to forge ahead and gamble on a future.

With only one final tribulation remaining—the hidden illusory path—Ye Lin briefly entered a state that seemed infinite. The laws of the Creator Realm were already faintly revealed on his body, yet he still felt infinite. He seemed to be standing at some mysterious starting point, able to see what lay beyond the distant horizon.

At that time, the Lord of the End discovered him through an avatar created by the "Mirror" that was close to the power of the Creator. He once thought that Ye Lin embodied what they were looking for, namely the possibility of accommodating the second path and continuing to advance to the mystical realm.

At that moment, even the Lord of the End had some indescribable complex emotions.

“No, I tried to find it again, but there was no trace of it. It was like a butterfly that flew through my fingers. Once you’re not careful, you can’t catch it anymore. You can only watch it disappear.” Ye Lin said regretfully. As long as the other party does not affect the original universe, he doesn’t mind searching for clues with the Lord of the End.

After the battle of the Primal ...

"Come on, let's talk more. What other thoughts do you have?" Ye Lin said with a smile.

.........

"The final tribulation, the illusory tribulation..."

Remi fully activated his life force, and a large amount of pure life energy flowed into his body. Even the occasional leaks from the corners would emit green glow, dyeing a patch of sky the color of new life for all things.

It is precisely because of her perfect control over the power of life that Remy is in excellent condition, always at her peak. The injuries caused by the Eight Tribulations can be repaired in a very short time, and the powerful life energy makes her pure white fairy dress glow with green light.

Otherwise, Remi would never have dared to undergo eight tribulations in one go, dragging his heavily injured body to attempt the ninth tribulation.

The Nine Tribulations of Creation are all immeasurable killing tribulations. They are not necessarily direct attacks based on laws, but they are all aimed at taking one's life.

Remy gently pursed her glossy, rosy lips, a slight ripple stirring in her heart. She had prepared in advance, simulating the dangers she might encounter during the Nine Tribulations with the help of Ye Lin. No deity interfered with her advancement, yet she still suffered numerous setbacks and was in danger of dying several times.

Since no one had been chosen to obtain the path of reincarnation at that time, the noblewoman in the black dress and her mother-in-law, Nimère, also experienced the simulation. They were quite embarrassed in his hands, and their divine bodies even emitted smoke.

However, Ye Lin forged his own path under almost completely unknown circumstances, and was pursued by the gods who wanted to take away his destiny. He used every means to barely stop the other creators.

She had to admit that if she were in Ye Lin's position, let alone reaching the eighth tribulation, she would have suffered greatly even at the first one. "My talent is inferior to his. Thinking of this, I actually feel a little unwilling." A faint smile appeared on Remy's lips, his beauty dazzling. She really didn't have any advantages to bully him in the future.

Hmm, it seems like the only way to bully someone is through their position.

Suddenly, a strange seed seemed to sprout and burst forth in Remy's heart, growing uncontrollably... If I were not born a god, but an ordinary person, would I still have the chance to reach this height, and could I and Ye Lin be each other's towering trees?

Remy's mind immediately sharpened, and he brought his scattered thoughts back together, realizing that he had encountered the power of the Ninth Path and was already in a state of tribulation, being strongly influenced by it.

Her beautiful eyes slowly narrowed, this time not with a cunning smile, but with an extremely dangerous feeling.

Suddenly, a huge mirror appeared in front of her, more than twice her height. The edge of the mirror was made of a mysterious material, inlaid with what appeared to be gold and jade. Mysterious laws were outlined on it, and runes surged. The mirror surface was smooth yet blurry, like an ancient, rough bronze mirror, barely reflecting her image.

Although the mirror is blurry, the person in it is still clearly visible, possessing unparalleled beauty and breathtaking charm.

Remy hissed, "Inner demons, inner tribulations? You underestimate me. I even survived the mental storm of the Path of Chaos."

"The mental tribulation is already rotten in the Divine Realm. Those who achieve the Divine Realm, which one is not as firm as iron and as blazing as the sun?"

There was no precedent to prove that the manifestations of the Nine Tribulations of Creation would be exactly the same, so during the multiple simulations, Ye Lin reminded her that she might have completely different experiences, especially on the Path of Illusion.

Remy complained that it felt like taking an exam, doing a lot of practice questions to accumulate experience, and then going into the exam room to see what the questions were.

The person in the bronze mirror slowly spoke, a mocking voice emanating from them: "However, you are not someone who has advanced step by step, but rather a divine being bestowed with good fortune. Your power comes from the creation act of a great will, and is also a glorious corner of the path of creation."

The bronze mirror was more than twice the height of Remy, standing upright and parallel to him. So her image only occupied the lower half of the mirror, while the rest was blank and gray.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the mirror's surface, like pebbles thrown into water, shattering the calm. The ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, and then in the upper half, where there was no reflection before, the hazy mirror gradually became clear, its outlines revealed, and something was clearly reflected.

Remy stared intently, her heart stirred with emotion, and her expression changed. A cold and majestic figure was outlined in the upper half of the mirror, standing behind her, with his hands outstretched and countless nearly transparent threads hanging from his fingertips, the ends of which were tied to her body in the lower half of the mirror, as if he were manipulating a puppet.

His cold eyes were lowered and looking down, and behind him, the six components of the Creation Ring rotated silently, like a vast and boundless nebula. His figure had an aura that looked down on all things and was above everything.

A great will!
The illusory path unexpectedly reflected the great will.

Remy instinctively turned her head to look behind her, wanting to see if there was a dignified figure behind her. But just as she was about to turn her head, Remy saw herself in the mirror, motionless, staring straight at her with a faint smile on her lips, carrying a hint of mockery.

Forcibly suppressing his instinct to turn back, Remy had a keen intuition that if he really turned back in front of the mirror, the tribulation of the illusory path would most likely end there, and he would fail.

It's a fact that she knows what her reflection in the mirror is saying.

A great will broke through the darkness and chaos of the abyss with the path of creation. In that instant, the outline of the primordial universe took shape, and the rhythm of all things was laid out in subtle clues. At the same time, the primordial gods were born from the radiance. Some of them took over the powers that appeared with the initial outline of the universe, while others gradually found their place after all things were born.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Remy's eyes were now calm as he said, "Are you trying to say that my power comes from the Path of Creation, that I was born with it, that I didn't acquire it myself, and that I am therefore subject to the Path of Creation?"

The gift of becoming a god on the path of creation, as the self in the mirror frankly stated, is indeed quite accurate in a strict sense.

The domineering power held by the Great Will is even capable of forcibly stripping away a portion of the power of everything that exists in the original universe.

“Everything in the primordial universe comes from the great will. The resources of cultivators and the laws of heaven and earth also come from Him. There are already new beings with the status of creators. How can this be explained?” Remy was using Ye Lin’s example to refute his reflection in the mirror.

"The two are different in nature. He acquired it step by step on his own, while you received a direct blessing. How can the divine realm of the path of creation become the foundation of the path of reincarnation? You should wither away." Remy in the mirror spoke, his expression somewhat gloomy and decaying.

The great will in the upper half of the mirror, or more accurately, the path of creation, affects the lower square puppet "Remi" with any movement. Those almost invisible threads seem to penetrate to the bone marrow. The most terrifying thing is that the calamity of the path of creation seems to be recurring, and it is very different from the previous manifestation.

Before Remy could even speak, her own realm seemed to collapse as if its foundation had been ripped away. She saw herself in the mirror being manipulated by invisible threads, and along those threads, all her accumulated strength was flowing back from within her body into them. An unprecedented sense of weakness was washing over her.

A tremendous crisis is looming, her grace has been revoked, and she is about to fall in the bizarre ninth tribulation.

However, a sudden change occurred. Remy raised his head, his face softened with a gentle warmth, and his smile was like spring flowers in bloom. His previously collapsing realm was suddenly solidified and immortalized, and he was even taking steps toward the Creation Realm, with wisps of aura spreading outwards.

Remy said, "You're right, my power comes from the Path of Creation, but how could I not have considered the corresponding factors?"

“When ordinary people call on my name and yearn for revelation, I respond by bestowing my light upon them, giving them the strength and courage to confront suffering.”

"Professionals, awakened ones... my followers, in their respective realms, also inscribe my name and act righteously on my behalf..."

"My followers have forged many glorious professional systems, which are my foundation and my essence. Though not me, they are still me, and they have nothing to do with the path of creation."

“Others are ultimately not you.” The “Remy” in the mirror was still unwilling to accept it.

Remy smiled slightly upon hearing this and said in a low voice, like a miniature Somi:
"I too will cultivate anew." (End of Chapter)
