Chapter 763 The Form of the Supreme
Lin Rui had always been curious about where the Abyssal Monument had come from. Who could possibly have the power to tear such a large piece from its source? He hadn't expected it to be this Supreme Celestial Venerable, whose existence the Federation academic community had yet to confirm.

When he heard the words "Lord of Truth", he instinctively realized that this person might have a certain connection with the Abyss of the East.

"Lord of Truth?" Lin Rui frowned, his eyes full of doubt. "Divine Servant, it seems that the complete concept of 'truth' doesn't exist in my Tianji world?"

Lin Rui has mastered 40% of the concept of truth. In addition, the core martial spirit of his No. 5 war spirit is "truth". However, there is indeed no complete "truth" in this world at present. They are all the products of the conceptualization of martial spirit by later generations and have not become a complete concept.

The Grand Astronomical Master of Dongzhou shook his head. "It existed before, but the gods severed the inheritance and belief, and it was eroded over hundreds of thousands of years. Furthermore, according to the gods, the Supreme Celestial Venerable once engraved the concept of 'truth' into the roots, but then, at the height of his power, he tore it out of the roots."

Lin Rui's pupils slightly widened, his eyes filled with disbelief: "How could the Supreme Heavenly Venerable possess such divine power?"

"The most powerful God King is certainly no small matter, but the power of the 'Root' back then was incomparable to what it is now."

The Great Astronomical Master of Dongzhou smiled, his eyes dark, “The God said that the Supreme Heavenly Venerable must have sensed that the ‘Root’ was stealing his power, and believed that the ‘Root’ was the source of all the disasters on Tianji Star, so he led his gods to attack Purgatory, severely damaging the ‘Root’ and even tearing off nearly one-tenth of the Root’s essence.

This is the origin of the Abyssal Divine Stele. Later generations, unaware of the source of the disaster, forged the Abyssal Divine Stele from a portion of the 'source essence' torn off by the Supreme Celestial Venerable. While this object can help Nine Realms and Immortal Martial Cultivators quickly conceptualize their martial intent, it also allows more concepts to be integrated into the source. Later, the gods destroyed and divided the Abyssal Divine Stele, precisely because of this object, it can rapidly strengthen the source power."

Lin Rui thought that what Dasitian said was consistent with the "living world theory" of the federal academic community, and they confirmed each other.

But what does this have to do with Huangfu Qing?
"In fact, most of the root essence that the Supreme Celestial Venerable tore off in the past was made into a divine artifact, the 'Throne of Truth'. It was the cornerstone on which the Supreme Celestial Venerable later placed his many conceptual powers. It is also the most powerful divine artifact in the history of the Tianji World. It is unique and the only supreme divine artifact not forged from the source essence and core of a god!
This object was destroyed by the Great Sun Celestial Lord approximately 30 years ago. It is said that this artifact was responsible for the Great Sun Celestial Lord's demise. Currently, the remains of this 'Throne of Truth' are in Huangfu Qing's hands."

The Grand Astronomical Master's voice grew even colder as he spoke of this: "Huangfu Qing once had a little-known identity. He was the Red-robed High Priest of the Nanzhou Divine Palace. Seventeen years ago, he somehow stole some of the fragments of the throne from the Southern Abyss and rebelled against the Nanzhou Divine Palace."

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously touched his fingers. At the same time, he wondered how Huangfu Qing could have such an identity? He had actually made it to the core level of the Nanzhou Divine Palace.

"—After Huangfu Qing escaped from Nanzhou, he headed straight for our Dongzhou territory. I personally led my men to capture him, but the remains of the 'Throne of Truth' in his possession are nowhere to be found. He even took the initiative to cut off his brain and soul, forgetting these memories. This incident also triggered a conflict between our master and the Southern Abyss. The Southern Abyss once believed that it was my master who instructed Huangfu Qing to steal this object, and the remains of the 'Throne of Truth' also fell into my master's hands."

When the Grand Astrologer said this, there was something strange in his eyes.

However, he carried Lin Rui on his back and did not reveal this emotion in front of Lin Rui: "It was not until we hung Huangfu Qing's body in the Demon-Suppressing Forest that the South Abyss was slightly relieved."

"I see." Lin Rui's face still contained a hint of doubt. "Divine Officer, then the remains of the 'Throne of Truth' must be extremely mysterious and possess supreme magical powers. That's why the Divine Officer and the two Supreme Gods value it so highly?"

The Grand Astronomical Master shook his head solemnly, "The Throne of Truth is a supreme divine artifact. Its fragments are indeed somewhat mysterious, but in the eyes of the gods, its so-called magical uses are nothing more than that and are not worth mentioning.

However, this object is the vessel in which the Supreme Celestial Venerable entrusted the "truth" and numerous concepts. It contains the wonders of truth and is said to be stained with the essence and source core of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable. That is why the Southern Abyss treasures it so much. If this object is obtained from the Southern Abyss, it may be able to usurp the laws of the Great Sun. If my God obtains it, he may be able to step into the ranks of the Divine Kings—"

Lin Rui's heart was in turmoil again, but it was not because of the last sentence of the Great Sitian, but because of the remains of the throne of truth, which was stained with the essence, blood, source core and source substance of the Great Sun.

At this moment, the Grand Astronomical Master suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Rui with a sharp gaze. "Duke Zhenguo, I heard that your demon friend Lin Rui has a close relationship with Huangfu Qing. Is he the son of Huangfu Qing's disciple, or his second-generation disciple?"

Lin Rui's expression immediately froze, and he bowed and replied, "Divine Officer, before I started working with Lin Rui, I had someone check his background. The Imperial City Department's archives contain Lin Rui's personal files.

This person is indeed Huangfu Qing's disciple, but Huangfu Qing died before he was four years old, and his parents disappeared or died eight and a half years ago. The reason this person publicly promoted his relationship with Huangfu Qing was purely to sell medicine. Of course, I cannot confirm whether Lin Rui was involved in the theft of Huangfu Qing's war dragon.

He felt a chill on his back and secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, he had always paid attention to the identity separation between Lin Rui and Lin Hao, and insisted on not exposing his identity, nor letting Huangfu Qing expose his identity.

After Huangfu Qing was resurrected, his original form, Mr. H, has been active in the core laboratory of the Ruifang Colonization and Biology Research Institute in the dock area. Apart from a few people including Lin Xi, Lin Yi and Sima Lin, he has never had contact with any outsiders.

The Grand Astrologer remained silent upon hearing this and continued to stare at Lin Rui.

In fact, he didn't think that the theft of Huangfu Qing's war dragon was done by Lin Hao, he just thought that this guy was a certain suspect.

That Lin Rui was too young, too young to have any actual connection with Huangfu Qing.

Even Dasitian himself found it absurd that Lin Rui would take such a risk to plan for a master who died at the age of three and come to the Ten Thousand Dragons Tower to save a dead war dragon.

Dasitian was more suspicious of the Changsheng Society, or the Song Dynasty royal family, the 'Lord of Darkness' and the 'Abyss of the South'. These four parties were more suspicious and had more motives.

but--

The Grand Astronomical Master's gaze softened. "The theft of Huangfu Qing's war dragon may have little to do with Lin Rui, but the remains of the 'Throne of Truth' that once belonged to Huangfu Qing remain missing. It's likely that Huangfu Qing took them to one of the 14 Heavenly Demon Homelands."

Dasi Tian said with his hands behind his back, "This item is very likely in the hands of the Changsheng Society, or it could be in the hands of Lin Rui. Especially Lin Rui's missing father, Lin Cong, is quite suspicious. Since you have a close relationship with Lin Rui, perhaps you can help me investigate and find out a little bit."

Lin Rui bowed without hesitation: "I obey the command of the God!"

He really wanted to find out what was going on.

Lin Rui suspected that the information his parents sealed in his brain might be related to this.

The Grand Astronomical Master then changed the subject and talked with him about some government affairs and financial and taxation issues of the Song Dynasty, and let Lin Rui leave. He never mentioned the investigation of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pagoda again. Lin Rui suddenly understood that this Lord God had not completely cleared up his doubts about him, and that this Lord God attached importance to the remains of the "Throne of Truth" above all else, even higher than the importance he attached to the finances and overall situation of the Song Dynasty.

When Lin Rui left, he guessed in his heart that his master Huangfu Qing was probably able to obtain the remains of the "Throne of Truth" with the support of the Eastern Abyss.

Otherwise, what virtue and ability did he possess as a mere Red-robed High Priest of the Seventh Realm? And why did he have to flee to Dongzhou?

Lin Rui then shook his head and took off on his magic dragon mount. He did not return to the star port, but flew towards the south dock of Luojing City.

Coincidentally, today was the day when his sister, the Goddess of Law Yuan Keke, returned to Beijing after inspecting the local area. It was also the day when his two old friends Zhuang Mingyue and Zhang Tianchang returned to Beijing to report on their posts.

Lin Rui had just flown halfway into the air when he received a message from his sister Lin Yi: Brother, I was struck by lightning again by the God of Law.

Lin Rui had already seen from afar, three hundred miles away, a huge divine body appeared in the sky above the southern dock of Luojing City.

The body of this god is as majestic as a mountain. He holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other. His whole body is covered with golden armor. It is no longer blurry like the previous miracles, but is in a state of being both real and unreal. He radiates brilliant golden light all over his body, giving people a sense of glory and holiness, as vast and ethereal as the galaxy, and as eternal and unchanging as a star.

Every inch of his armor and every fine line on his skin contains infinite cosmic mysteries and exudes endless majesty and holiness.

Countless golden threads stretched out around His body. These threads, condensed from the concepts of order and law, formed countless runes and chains, which looked like a pair of huge golden wings spread out to the sides, majestic and brilliant.

Lin Rui couldn't help but feel puzzled. What did his little sister do that caused the God of Law to descend from his body and cause a miracle?

※※※※

At this time, Dasitian also walked out of the Wanlong Tower and saw the strange scene at the south dock of Luojing City.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes looked a little strange.

The Lord of Divine Laws has descended extremely frequently in recent years, and has often bestowed miracles upon the Goddess of Divine Laws.

And it is very likely that due to the actions of the Goddess of Divine Law in the past two years, His divine power has been significantly enhanced.

This can be seen from His manifested divine body, which is becoming clearer and more real.

This means that the world's understanding of the Divine Law Lord is becoming clearer and clearer.

The Grand Astronomical Master wondered if this semi-transcendent Celestial Lord still had a clear sense of self? Was he planning to get involved in the upcoming battle for transcendence within the Heaven Curtain?
He then rode the eight-dragon chariot back to the divine palace above Luojing City. At this time, the expression of the Great Astronomical Master changed slightly, and he flashed to a high platform on the east side of the divine palace.

Here, Dasitian saw his god - the Abyss of the East!
Different from the male image shown to people by the 'Eastern Abyss', this god was wearing a female-style long black gown with cloud patterns, with the collar half-open, and a jade belt lightly tied around his slender waist, inlaid with pearls and jade, sparkling brightly.

His face is half as white as jade and half as white as frost. His left eye is as affectionate as the bright moon, and his right pupil is as cold as a star. His hair is like a waterfall, half black and half white, black as the abyss of the night, white as snow in the morning light. Stars are dotted in his hair, as if he is embracing the Milky Way in the sky. His aura is extraordinary and otherworldly, as if he is above all living beings and the void.

The Great Astronomical Master was secretly shocked, feeling that his god's upper body was as majestic as an emperor, while the other half was as gentle and graceful as a fairy, becoming more and more mysterious.

But 600 years ago, the image of the god was still a handsome, unrestrained and uninhibited man.

However, since God began to explore the wonders of truth and deeply studied the universe, the origin of heaven and earth, and the nature of cause and effect, His appearance gradually changed.

Dasitian also saw a small knife floating in the heart of Shenshou, which was made up of pure true energy and sword intent.

Dasitian recognized this method, which must be the secret method created by the gods, the "Sword of Truth".

It is a by-product of the 'Eastern Abyss' research on the law of truth. It is almost unrestricted by the time and void, and can ignore all matter, all laws, all concepts, and all causes and effects.

But what was strange was that the weapon in the god's hand was not in the shape of a sword as usual, but in the shape of a knife.

"how?"

The voice of the Eastern Abyss was like the harmonious sound of a zither and a harp. The male voice was deep as thunder, and the female voice was clear as a spring. It was as if heaven and earth resonated, mountains and rivers trembled, and rivers flowed backwards. "Are you worried that I'll be influenced by the Supreme Heavenly Venerable?"

The Grand Astronomical Master was worried about this. He didn't dare to look directly at him, lowering his head and saying, "I dare not. The God's power is boundless, like the bright moon in the sky, shining for eternity, and like the vast ocean, sweeping across the vastness of the world. However, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable is the supreme god king of all time. Please be careful."

“That’s right!”

Dong Zhi Shen Yuan smiled slightly and nodded, "I want to seize the power of the Supreme Lord, but the power of the Supreme Lord is also infecting me. Now it depends on who has the better skills and whether my will can remain steadfast. But now I can't help but wear women's clothes, jewelry, and makeup, and I often feel dazed and absent-minded. In fact, I am very close to being infected by the consciousness of the Supreme Lord."

He then pointed in the direction of the southern dock of Luojing City and said, "Look at that Divine Law Heavenly Venerable. He tried to suppress the distorted power in the body of the goddess and tried hard to maintain himself, but he was still unknowingly distorted and changed by the Divine Law Heavenly Venerable.

You may not have noticed that the laws and rules he upholds now are different from before. This is the work of the Divine Law Goddess, causing the world's perception and understanding of him to change, affecting his true spirit. The so-called gods, once they lose their own will, become such tragic beings.

Upon hearing this, the Great Astronomical Master was secretly shocked and looked in the direction of the Divine Law Lord again.

He had just felt that something was wrong with the God of Law, but he had not expected that the nature of this God had changed.

"He is now transcendent. As long as the human race of Tianji Star survives and abides by the rules He established, Divine Law Heavenly Venerable will not perish. But what is the meaning of such transcendence?"

Dong Zhi Shen Yuan sighed and then changed his tone: "Regarding the theft of Huangfu Qing's war dragon, what do you think? Did you gain anything in the Ten Thousand Dragons Tower?"

The expression of the Grand Astronomical Master suddenly became serious.
