Living in the deep palace

Beyond the boundary of the Nine Nether Star Domain, the starry sky that was once shrouded in the endless golden light of the Divine Court army has now become a desolate graveyard.

The once mighty divine bodies of the Four Supreme Heavenly Kings, capable of suppressing eternity, have long since turned into the most insignificant dust in the universe.

The "Lingxiao Warship" they piloted, once a war fortress bearing the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, is now reduced to only some broken fragments, silently floating in the chaotic currents of time and space, telling the story of the terrifying battle that had just turned the tide of battle.

Millions of heavenly soldiers and generals met an even more tragic end.

In that earth-shattering final showdown, the vast majority of them were destroyed by the backlash from the broken formation and the impact of the Daoist aura unconsciously emanating from Su Chen after his advancement. Not even a trace of their true spirit could escape.

The few survivors were terrified, their Dao hearts shattered, and like stray dogs, they fled madly toward the Central Divine Court. They would bring back a terrifying message that would shake the entire Mythical Era.

That traitor who was punished by Heaven!

He alone fought against the entire army of the Divine Court!
With the strength of a Golden Immortal at the third level, he slew four Supreme Heavenly Kings!
and.

Make a graceful exit!
This achievement, even if placed in the era before the Fallen Era when gods and demons emerged in great numbers and Great Luo Immortals roamed freely, would be considered... unprecedented!
For a while.

The entire fourteen star fields were in turmoil, with everyone speculating about the origins of this villain who had angered the Heavenly Dao and caused the fall of four supreme Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Demons.
This is a place of the past, a place of decay and no longer has any business, making it impossible to glimpse the future.

They were unable to ascertain Su Chen's origins.

Even the fallen immortal ancestor, the supreme Heavenly Dao of the Mythical Era, could not achieve this, and it was precisely because of the unknown that their fear deepened.

"Immortal Ancestor, is this... a sign of utter destruction?"

"It seems."

"This traitor is probably the calamity of the Immortal Ancestor. If the Immortal Ancestor doesn't die, how can we truly step into the fourth realm and become beings like the Ten Immortals?"

In the shadowy corners, figures whispered among themselves.

Without exception.

They were exceptionally powerful. Although they exuded the aura of a third-realm demon lord, a great giant, and a top-level supreme god, which was not much inferior to the aura of a pseudo-fourth-realm being, they were still in the third realm.

They knew that the so-called creation of the Immortal Ancestor was nothing more than a pseudo-fourth realm, and even more so, a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, they suppressed their cultivation level and waited for an opportunity.

……

……

"It seems that this time, we've really encountered someone extraordinary."

"only."

"These so-called supreme kings who submit to the Heavenly Dao, their origins are not so easily refined..."

"Refining that guy Moro is one thing."

"Refining the Four Heavenly Kings who were tainted by the aura of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor, tsk tsk... this is going to be a good show."

A murmur could be heard.

His divine sense swept across the entire battlefield at lightning speed, and then disappeared.

Obviously.

This is a fleeting appearance of one of the ten supreme beings in the mythical era. Only the ten truly powerful beings of the fourth realm dare to take a divine stroll here, unafraid of angering the Heavenly Dao.

……

……

At the end of time and space, there lies a place long forgotten by the world, the "Ruins of Chaos" left behind at the beginning of the universe.

Here, there is no concept of time, no boundary of space.

Earth, fire, water, and wind—the four fundamental laws—are all in a most primitive and chaotic state, intertwined and annihilating each other, forming an absolute forbidden zone that even true beings of the fourth realm are unwilling to easily venture into.

In the deepest part of this chaotic ruin, a figure in white robes sat quietly cross-legged.

It was indeed Su Chen, who had just completed that earth-shattering massacre.

At this moment, there was no trace of ecstasy or pride on his face. Instead, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was digesting an unprecedented "feast for the senses".

Within his body, the newly ascended "Taiyi Universe" was undergoing a dramatic and earth-shattering transformation.

How vast was the origin of the three pseudo-fourth realm heavenly kings?

That is not just pure energy, but also their understanding and accumulation of the great Dao of "order" in this universe over several eras!
At this moment, these origins, like three raging dragons, are frantically colliding within Su Chen's Taiyi Universe, attempting to reintegrate everything here into the familiar order of "Heavenly Dao".

"This is a bit tricky."

"How come the origins of these supreme heavenly kings are also mixed with the mythical Heavenly Dao, that is, the aura of that fallen immortal ancestor..."

"These Heavenly Kings' essences are actually trying to corrupt my Taiyi Universe, which is also my Celestial Aperture..."

"Once it's really done."

"I'm afraid it will even affect my Dao attainment."

"I really didn't expect that!"

If it were any other Golden Immortal, even a giant among immortals, after devouring such a massive source that was completely opposite to their own Dao, the only outcome would be that their Dao Fruit would be burst open, their soul assimilated by the supreme "Heavenly Dao Order" law, and they would die completely!
However, Su Chen was different.

His path has long transcended the boundaries of this universe.

"I said."

Su Chen's thoughts, within his own Taiyi Universe, transformed into the supreme decree of creation.

“‘Order’ should be my ‘order’.”

“The ‘law’ shall be my ‘law’.”

"All of you, tell me... the provisions!"

At this moment, Su Chen made his move again.

Follow your words!
Do not!
It should be said that he spoke in his own Taiyi universe, using his Heavenly Dao status.

boom--!!!!!!!!!!

As Su Chen's words became law, his strange eyes, half chaos and half data, suddenly opened!

In his left eye, the primordial chaos power transformed into a gigantic maw that devoured everything, ruthlessly suppressing the three violent primordial forces!

Within his right eye, the torrent of "laws" transformed into countless invisible "chains of logic," like the most precise scalpel, probing into the core of those three origins, beginning a frenzied...analysis! deciphering! recombination!
This is a silent war taking place within Su Chen's body!

It is a struggle between the "old myths" and the "new myths" for the ultimate right to define the "Way of Heaven"!
Time, in this chaotic ruin, has lost its meaning.

I don't know how much time has passed. Perhaps a year, perhaps a century.

Su Chen's body jolted violently!
An aura, even more harmonious, more profound, and more... incredible than before, slowly rose from his body!

At this moment, his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm was truly...completely stabilized!
Moreover, after absorbing the origins of the three Heavenly Kings and analyzing their Great Dao, Su Chen gained an unprecedented and profound understanding of this mythical era, the essence of the power of the lofty "Mythical Heavenly Dao," and the foundation of its rule!
"I see……"

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. In those eyes, it seemed as if the birth and death of billions of stars and the flow of endless data flashed simultaneously.

"The power of the mythical Heavenly Dao is not infinite."

"Although He is the creator of this universe, He has long since perished. What exists now is merely a remnant will that clings to life by relying on the 'core of origin' of this universe—that is, the 'Hall of Return to Origin'."

"His essence is more like that of a pre-programmed... cosmic administrator."

"And the foundation upon which His rule is maintained is the obedience of the billions of beings in these fourteen star systems to the 'order' He established!"

“Every time a living being acts in accordance with His ‘Heavenly Rules,’ every time a deity prays to His divine court, a wisp of energy called ‘Order’ is generated, flowing into His origin, maintaining His existence and strengthening His rule.”

"Conversely, any action that violates 'order,' any creation of 'variables,' is... weakening His power!"

"The Supreme Heavenly Kings are affected by the Heavenly Rules, which is why not a single true Fourth Realm being can be born. Instead, much of their origin has been stolen from them, turning them into pseudo-Fourth Realm beings!"

"Because the Heavenly Rules do not allow the birth of a complete Fourth Realm!"

"After the Heavenly Rules, there is only the pseudo-fourth realm..."

After fully understanding this, a plan that was even more insane and radical than before slowly took shape in Su Chen's mind.

"My previous thinking was wrong."

"I shouldn't have become a 'hunter' who hunts everywhere."

A cold smile curled at the corners of Su Chen's lips.

“That would be too inefficient, and it would be easy for Him to detect it and target it.”

"I want to plant a seed called 'chaos,' 'self,' and 'freedom' in this monolithic field of 'order' created by Him!"

"I want this seed to take root, sprout, and eventually grow into a towering tree that can completely overturn this hypocritical 'sky'!"

……

……

The central divine court, the Lingxiao Palace.

Dead silence.

An oppressive, deathly silence.

The mythical Heavenly Dao, seated atop the supreme throne, was shrouded in a thick, impenetrable cloud.

He has been sitting in this posture for a hundred years.

Ever since the news came back that the invincible army that He had personally assembled, capable of sweeping across any star field, had been completely annihilated and that all four Heavenly Kings had perished.

The entire Central Divine Court was thus plunged into a terrifying atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

All the remaining star lords and gods were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They knew that Heaven was angry.

It was a genuine, unprecedented rage.

But within this rage lay a trace of something even He Himself was unwilling to admit…

……fear!
Yes, fear!
He, the mighty creator of the universe, actually felt... fear towards a "variable" from the future!
The thief named Su Chen, his speed of growth, his bizarre methods, and his endless stream of "Dao" that completely exceeded His comprehension, were like an inescapable nightmare, pressing down on His heart!
For the first time, He felt that His control over this universe was...shaking!
He lost a battle, losing the four pseudo-fourth realms and a million heavenly soldiers and generals.

Although it was painful for Him, it was far from being a serious injury.

As long as His origin remains intact, and as long as the "order" of this universe still exists, He can cultivate ten or even a hundred more pseudo-fourth realm beings at any time!
But what He was really worried about was something else.

That thief... disappeared.

They vanished without a trace.

For centuries, He has used all of His "Heavenly Dao" authority to conduct countless, comprehensive scans and deductions of the entire fourteen star regions.

But the result was... a blank page!
Su Chen seemed to have been completely erased from this timeline!
He knew that the other party must still be in this mythological era!
However, the other party used a method that He could not understand to completely... hide Himself from the sight of Him, the "Heavenly Dao"!

That's the scariest part!

An uncontrollable, unmonitorable, and extremely hostile "powerful traitor" is quietly lurking in His "universe"!

No one knows where He will appear next.

No one knows what terrifying act He will do next to overthrow His rule!
This unknown fear caused Him far more torment than direct warfare!
"This can't go on... any longer!"

Finally, the Mythical Heavenly Dao slowly raised its head from that deathly silence.

A cold, resolute glint flashed in His eyes, which were composed of pure "order" and "rules"!
"Since I can't find you."

"Then I will force you... to come out on your own!"

The next instant, a "Heavenly Decree" that was even more majestic and unquestionable than before spread from the Lingxiao Palace throughout the entire universe!
"Convey my decree:"

"From this day forward, this realm enters a period of 'Heavenly Law Enforcement'!"

"Throughout the Fourteen Star Domains, all worlds and all living beings, their words and actions will be subject to the most stringent scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao Divine Mirror!"

"All pseudo-Fourth Realm cultivators and Golden Immortal giants, from this moment forward, cease all fighting, close your mountain gates, silently chant the Yellow Court Sutra, and are not allowed to leave!"

"Space-time barriers have been established between the major star regions. No one may cross them without my decree!"

"I will transform this entire universe into a net that covers the heavens and the earth!"

"I will make sure that 'rat' who dares to defy the might of Heaven has nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape!"

“He shouldn’t have come here, nor should he have devoured any of the beings in this world. Every time he devours a Supreme Heavenly King, he is stealing the original power that I managed to leave behind after my fall.”

"He's trying to kill me!"

"I'll make sure he dies a horrible death!"

"Ahhh!"

Heaven was furious.

He was filled with disgust and rage. Why hadn't his lingering remnant from his future life eliminated this damned ant, allowing him to intrude into this fallen era of mythology and bring him so much trouble! (End of Chapter)
