Living in the deep palace

"The obstacles have been cleared, and the time is right."

Su Chen walked step by step toward the towering mother tree. With each step, the entire Abyss of Creation trembled violently, as if in fear of the ferocious power of this newly ascended ruler.

He arrived at the base of the mother tree, whose trunk was hundreds of millions of miles thick, and looked up at the fruits of the myriad worlds radiating an alluring light on the canopy.

"What wonderful fruit..."

Su Chen reached out and stroked the tree bark, which seemed to be formed from the condensation of the laws of the Great Dao, his eyes filled with greedy tenderness.

"Some are ripe and exude a rich aroma; others are still green and have a sweet and sour vitality."

“It would be too troublesome and petty to pick them one by one to eat them.”

Su Chen abruptly withdrew his hand and retreated tens of thousands of feet.

He took a deep breath, and the Origin Divine Power of the newly broken-through [Pseudo-Eighth Realm] within his body began to frantically converge towards his right arm!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

His right arm rapidly expanded and hardened, its chaotic dragon scales standing upright. Ultimately, his entire right arm, along with his hand, was reshaped by the laws of origin, transforming into a weapon radiating the power to split the heavens and earth—the [Origin Mountain-Splitting Giant Axe]!
On the axe blade, a cold, ethereal light flowed, capable of severing all cause and effect and annihilating all dimensions!

"For a qualified fruit farmer, the greatest joy has never been picking fruit."

Su Chen gripped the giant axe that his right arm had transformed into with both hands and raised it high above his head!

His arrogant face blossomed with a maniacal, savage grin that could send despair through the entire multiverse.

"It's—cutting down trees!!!"

"Mother Tree of Creation! Today, I will sever your primordial foundation!"

"Open for me!!!"

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

With Su Chen's furious roar that shattered the primordial chaos, the Origin Mountain-Splitting Giant Axe in his hand, carrying the supreme power of the pseudo-eighth realm, cleaved down fiercely and mercilessly at the thickest trunk and root of the Mother Tree of Creation!
"when!!!"

A terrifying roar that stopped the flow of time and caused spatial dimensions to collapse!
The ancient Mother Tree, which has nurtured countless worlds, let out a mournful scream as if it were the lament of billions of living beings, when struck by this axe!
"Click...click click..."

A terrifying, bottomless rift, large enough to bury countless galaxies, spread wildly along Su Chen's axe blade across the indestructible trunk of the mother tree!
The entire towering mother tree began to shake violently!

Above the tree canopy, countless cosmic fruits began to sway precariously under this terrifying shock, as if they were about to fall into the abyss at any moment!
The primordial tremor and the prelude to the collapse of all worlds were abruptly unveiled by the axe of this extreme culinary master!

……

"Crack!!!!!"

A terrifying cracking sound, which completely stopped the flow of the River of Time and caused all the Heavenly Daos of the Myriad Realms to simultaneously spew out their primordial blood, resounded at the very bottom of the Abyss of Creation!

Su Chen's right arm, which had transformed into the [Origin Mountain-Splitting Giant Axe], carrying the indescribable supreme power of the pseudo-eighth realm, was firmly and deeply embedded in the trunk of the [Mother Tree of Creation], which was hundreds of millions of miles thick!
This primordial first divine tree, which has weathered countless eras and nurtured the life force of multiple universes, was actually split in one-third by this axe!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

The sound of the tree trunk tilting was terrifying, like the mournful cry of an ancient god or demon on its deathbed.

As the mother tree shook violently, a spectacular sight, worthy of being recorded in the annals of destruction, suddenly unfolded on its enormous, sky-covering canopy!

Those "Cosmic Fruits" hanging on the branches, radiating dazzling lights of various colors, finally succumbed to the tearing force of that dimension under this devastating shock. The great stalks connecting them to the mother tree snapped one after another!
"Swish, swish—"

The Great Thousand Worlds, the Middle Thousand Worlds, the Small Thousand Worlds...

Tens of thousands of cosmic bubbles, like ripe wild fruits in the autumn wind, like a colorful meteor shower, fell wildly from the top of the towering treetops towards the dark abyss!
And inside those falling cosmic bubbles, what a despairing apocalyptic scene it must have been!
The remaining billions of beings looked up at the sky in terror, only to find that outside the crystal wall of their world, there was no longer the familiar vast starry sea, but endless darkness and the weightless feeling of falling! The Heavenly Dao collapsed in mourning, stars rained down on the earth, rivers overflowed, and all laws were annihilated!
"The sky has fallen! The world has collapsed!!!"

"Great Emperor Devourer! We beg you to have mercy and forgive us..."

Countless realm lords knelt at the center of the collapsing world, desperately kowtowing towards the void, attempting to beg for the mercy of the newly ascended Void Ruler.

However, Su Chen, standing directly beneath this "cosmic fruit rain," would hardly care about the wailing of a group of "fruit flesh."
"They're ripe! They're perfectly ripe!!!"

Su Chen looked up at the countless cosmic bubbles falling from the sky. From his eyes, which had turned into void black holes, a gluttonous blood light burst forth, as if it were tangible!
He abruptly threw away the law that had transformed into a giant axe in his hand, and spread his arms wide, like a greedy farmer standing under his own fruit tree, ready to welcome a bountiful harvest.

"I've been chopping trees and my throat is parched. These ripe fruits of yours will surely quench my thirst!!!"

"The Law of Heaven and Earth—The Abyss of Gluttony, for me—Receive!!!"

roar--------!!!!

Su Chen's jaw suddenly opened to an extremely exaggerated arc, even tearing apart the logic of dimensions! His abyssal maw expanded infinitely at this moment, transforming into an [Origin Black Hole] that stretched across the bottom of the Abyss of Creation, capable of devouring all galaxies and laws!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The first batch of more than a dozen Middle Thousand Worlds, along with the billions of beings inside them, fell into Su Chen's abyssal maw without any resistance!

"Crack!"

Su Chen snapped his jaws shut!
The crisp chewing sound, like that of candied hawthorns, echoed from the bottom of the abyss!

"Pfft!"

As Su Chen chewed, the cosmic crystal walls of those dozen or so middle-thousand worlds were shattered! The origins of the Heavenly Dao, the cores of the stars, and the essence and cultivation of billions of living beings within the worlds instantly mixed together, transforming into streams of extremely rich, sweet and sour [World Liquid], which exploded in Su Chen's mouth!

"Excellent! This water-attribute Middle Thousand World is incredibly juicy, like a top-quality peach. It melts in your mouth and leaves you feeling refreshed!"

Su Chen chewed deeply, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, swallowing the remnants of that world mixed with the blood of living beings in one gulp.

"Again!!!"

Su Chen completely lost control of his frenzied gluttony!

He used both hands simultaneously, his hands moving like afterimages as he frantically grabbed at the air!
"Snap!" He grabbed a vast world that was radiating towering flames and had given birth to countless lava behemoths in his palm and stuffed it into his mouth like eating a piping hot, pissing beef ball!

"Boom!" The Great Dao of Fire exploded in his mouth, but only earned him a satisfied assessment from Su Chen: "Extremely spicy, like oil being poured over a raging fire, with excellent chewiness, and refreshing!"

"Snapped!"

He pinched another world filled with Geng metal energy and teeming with countless sword cultivators between his two fingers and threw it into his mouth: "Crunch! The crystal walls of this Geng metal world are like rice crust, and the sword cultivators inside are like cartilage. It's truly a top-notch snack to go with drinks!"

In this short span of half an incense stick's time.

The three thousand great worlds and one hundred thousand medium worlds that were born from the endless eras of this multiverse were actually stuffed into Su Chen's bottomless gluttonous stomach one by one, just like eating candy beans and grapes!
They ate tens of thousands of cosmic fruits.

The Origin God Body within Su Chen's body began to undergo an earth-shattering ultimate transformation!

His pseudo-eighth realm blood and energy, after devouring almost 80% of the "fruits" of this multiverse, finally ushered in its ultimate sublimation!

"Boom boom boom boom boom ————————!!!!!"

An indescribable, ineffable, supreme aura that transcends all existence and non-existence in this world and surpasses the concepts of time and space burst forth from Su Chen's body!

His physical body was no longer confined to a human form, but flickered constantly between nothingness and reality; his eyes, the left eye gave birth to and destroyed the heavens, and the right eye reshaped chaos; the dark gold gluttonous halo behind his head had now expanded to a terrifying extent that covered the entire bottom of the Abyss of Creation!
[The Eighth Realm - The Unspeakable - Origin of the Gluttonous God]!!!
He has finally taken this unprecedented step! He has become the first supreme being in this multiverse since its birth to truly transcend the constraints of the Mother Tree of Creation and completely surpass all dimensions!

"call……"

Su Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid air formed from the remnants of thousands of world heavenly Daos. He wiped away the trace of star galaxy juice remaining at the corner of his mouth. His brand-new eighth-realm divine eyes, carrying an extreme coldness that disregarded everything, slowly landed on the bare and dilapidated Mother Tree of Creation in front of him.

"The fruit is all eaten, and our thirst is quenched."

Su Chen cracked his neck, producing a sound like the collapse of the universe. His lips curled once more into that cruel, butcher-like grin that instilled despair in all living beings.

"Now……"

"We should chop down this old, bulky tree for firewood, and while we're at it, dig up what's hidden under the roots... the final main course!!!"

"Fall down before me!!!"

Having entered the eighth realm, Su Chen no longer had any patience to entangle with this broken piece of wood.

He didn't use any more divine weapons. Instead, he stepped forward, opened his arms which were flowing with the eighth realm's [Indescribable] essence, and tightly embraced the trunk of the Mother Tree of Creation, which was hundreds of millions of miles thick!

"rise--------!!!!"

With a terrifying roar that tore apart the underlying logic of multiple universes, Su Chen suddenly pulled his arms upwards!
"Crack! Rumble rumble rumble!!!!"

This time, there was no stalemate, and there was no suspense!

This innate first divine tree, which has been rooted in the Primordial Breath Soil for countless eras and serves as the supporting pillar of the entire multiverse, had its billions of primordial roots buried deep underground torn off one by one by Su Chen's incomprehensible eighth-realm brute force!

"boom!!!"

With a final, earth-shattering roar, Su Chen uprooted the colossal Mother Tree of Creation! He then slammed it heavily onto the black soil beside him, as if it were a withered stick!

The mother tree has fallen, and all paths have returned to nothingness! The very foundation that holds this multiverse together has been utterly severed at this moment!
However, Su Chen didn't care whether the universe lived or died. His gaze was fixed on the bottomless, eerie, and ancient Primordial Pit left behind after the Mother Tree was uprooted!
At the deepest part of that giant pit, there was no soil, no chaos.

Yes, it is a grayish-white "placental membrane barrier" that seems to wriggle like a living thing!
Through the translucent amniotic sac, Su Chen could clearly see that inside was an extremely large creature, covered with sucker-like mouths—the [Chaotic Meatball]!
The fleshy ball was pulsating extremely slowly, with countless fleshy red tentacles extending from it, originally tightly connected to the roots of the Mother Tree of Creation!
This is not some sacred and majestic creator at all!
This is an ultimate cosmic parasite that lives within the primordial chaos, using the Mother Tree as its conduit and all the myriad worlds as its nourishment!
The so-called Heavenly Dao and the so-called birth and death of all worlds are nothing more than a huge "farm cycle" set up by this parasite to absorb nutrients! It plants a mother tree, produces a world, and when the world reaches its peak of prosperity, it drains everything through its roots and then produces fruit again!
"I see... I see!!! Hahahaha!!!"

Su Chen looked at the disgusting ball of flesh at the bottom of the giant pit, but instead of feeling nauseous, he burst into a frenzied laugh as if he had discovered a priceless treasure!
"The myriad realms of the Great Void regard you as the supreme creator, worship you, and revere you!"

"So, after all this time, you, the cook hiding in the deepest part of the kitchen, are actually just another 'colleague'—a slob oozing grease and leeching off others while clinging to tree roots!!"

Seemingly sensing that the mother tree had been severed and the supply of nutrients had disappeared, the enormous chaotic fleshy ball within the grayish-white amniotic membrane barrier suddenly began to writhe violently!
"Buzz—!!!"

A terrifying mental fluctuation, surpassing the seventh realm and reaching the peak of the [Pseudo-Eighth Realm], suddenly erupted from the fleshy ball, transforming into an extremely cold will that pierced directly into Su Chen's soul!

"You lowly nourishment... how dare you cut off my feeding route..."

"I am the Primordial Depriver! This mother tree, these fruits, are the sustenance I planted! You mutated insect, how dare you lay a finger on my table?!"

"Your dining table? Your food rations?"

Su Chen walked to the edge of the giant pit, looking down at the disgusting ball of flesh about to emerge from its cocoon, his mockery and domineering expression reaching its peak.

"Old bug, you've got one thing wrong."

Su Chen slowly drew the bone knife from his waist. Driven by the essence of the eighth realm, the blade transformed into an indescribable blade that was hundreds of millions of miles long!
"In this world, nothing belongs to anyone from birth. In this ultimate kitchen where the strong prey on the weak, whoever has the strongest fist and the biggest appetite is the true master of this feast!"

"You planted this tree and it bore these fruits; I must thank you."

Su Chen stuck out his tongue and licked his gleaming white fangs. His dark eyes revealed an extreme appetite that would chill even the Creator.

"Thank you, old farmer, for your hard work over countless eons to prepare such a sumptuous feast for me!"

"Now, the fruit itself has finished eating."

"You old sow, all fat and greasy, it's time for you to be sold... and cooked for me!!!"

"boom!!!"

Su Chen shattered the grayish-white placental membrane barrier with a single step!

Without the slightest hesitation, he was like an ancient raging lion pouncing on its prey, carrying the all-consuming gluttonous halo, and leaped directly into the deepest part of the giant pit, fiercely attacking the Primordial Depriver who claimed to be the creator!
"Farmers grow vegetables, cooks prepare dishes, and diners eat the dishes!"

"Today, I, the Venerable One, will chop you up and stir-fry you, farmer and cook, together to make the final, grand finale of this multiverse!!!" (End of Chapter)
