supreme deity

Chapter 793 I am for the light!

In the dreamland, Lin Rui stared at the gods in front of him.

The will of the Eastern Abyss hovers in the eastern part of the Dream Kingdom. Its concept of 'movement and stillness' unleashes the weight of a collapsing star, and every ripple of energy carves a black hole-like crack in the glazed ground.

The curtain of eternal night of the Lord of Darkness fell from the west, and the colorful aurora faded as if encountering a natural enemy. The velvety eternal night swallowed up all the light, and even the fragments of memory condensed into inky ice crystals in the darkness.

In the North, a giant ice-blue sword pierces the sky and the earth. The surface of the sword is condensed with frost that has existed for billions of years, and the single eye opened at the hilt is like a sculpture of glacier. The gaze of the abyss of the North condenses the dream fragments within a radius of hundreds of miles into prismatic ice flowers, and the flowing river of memory is frozen into a static picture.

Opposite to it, the void to the west was surging with the true nature of "nothingness". It was not ordinary darkness, but a huge mouth of the abyss that even gnawed at the concept of existence. The folds of space curled and peeled like brittle paper under the erosion of nothingness.

Two thrones appeared out of thin air on the left side of Dreamy Heavenly Lord. A goddess with long silver-blue hair sat on the silver-white throne. She was surrounded by chaotic turbulence of time. That was her power of time, which was in serious conflict with Dreamy Heavenly Lord's speed, which had been slowed down by 3000 times.

On the other side was a male god with flaming red hair. His throne was surrounded by spider-web-like spatial cracks. Deep in each crack were dimensional folds, causing the surrounding void to constantly collapse and reorganize, even making the entire structure of the kingdom of God unstable.

The wills of these two people from the abyss intertwined in the void, and they forcibly opened a forbidden area of ​​time and space that absolutely belonged to them in the Dream Kingdom, competing with the Dream Lord.

The gazes cast by these gods were like materialized conceptual chains, nailing Lin Rui's spiritual will firmly to this void.

Even the abyss that had always supported him now had a hint of coldness in their eyes.

The entire dream kingdom of God also made a crisp sound like porcelain breaking under the pressure of the gods' will.

There were three streaks of light in the sky, hanging in the sky like eyes - Lin Rui only took a glance and knew that they were the three Heavenly Lords of Divine Law, Bixue and Retribution.

These three people did not have any ill will towards him, and even their own awareness was very limited.

Lin Rui smiled slightly, and the nine pairs of galaxy wings behind him spread out with a bang. The platinum glow dispelled the haze for hundreds of miles, and he competed with the gods.

He said calmly, "What if I promise never to touch the artificial sky canopy, and help you suppress that Great Sun Celestial Lord?"

"Not seeking to control the artificial sky?" The Curtain of Eternal Night moved without wind. The Lord of Darkness's voice was chilling: "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally, I swear under the witness of the three gods of Divine Law, Blood, and Retribution that I will only build Pure One Holy Altars in the fourteen base cities of the Earth Federation, capable of accommodating a total of 200 billion people. Beyond that, I will never seek even the slightest authority within the artificial sky."

The nine pairs of galaxy wings behind Lin Rui continued to emit light and heat, turning a large area in the Dream Kingdom into a large platinum color.

"When I ascend to the Ninth Realm, my True Spirit will also be reflected in the sky of the Celestial Pole Star. I will never participate in the competition for the artificial sky. If you break this oath, you can let the Great Sun True Spirit revive in my body."

All the gods present fell silent upon hearing this. Their malice towards Lin Rui was still strong, but it was no longer as sharp as before. It felt like a blunt knife wielding a knife.

They were obviously communicating with each other through thoughts, causing a trace of thunder to grow in this dream kingdom.

Lin Rui chuckled as he placed his hand on the Supreme Heavenly Sword: "Everyone, there are three gods outside waiting for me to fight to the death."

The halo above his head swelled rapidly, and dense lightning and fire spread in all directions like a giant snake. The light storms raised by his nine pairs of wings penetrated and melted all the phantoms around him.

Lin Rui shattered the glazed ground and took a half-step forward. His powerful sword intent, resisting the pressure of the gods, vented in all directions. "I don't have much time. If you insist on forcing me to a fight to the death, or if we can't reach an agreement within these two moments, then before my mother and I die, I will drag one of you down with me! Even if it's just to severely injure them, I believe that with the power of the sun, I can do it."

Lin Rui's threatening words obviously angered these gods. Feeling the gods' intentions, they became sharp again.

Thunder exploded in the dome of the kingdom of God, and dozens of conceptual laws oppressed Lin Rui at the same time, and the power of both sides burst into dazzling sparks.

However, Dreamy Heavenly Master chuckled at this moment, and with a wave of his sleeve, all the conceptual powers of purity, holy thunder, calamity fire, movement, darkness, etc. in this kingdom of God disappeared.

He looked at Lin Rui with great interest. "It's an interesting idea. However, if the divine oath was effective, then the former Great Sun Celestial Venerable would not have raised the banner of rebellion and attacked the Supreme Celestial Venerable's throne of truth."

"Back then, there were no divine laws, no blood, no retribution."

Lin Rui looked up at the three eye-like streaks of light in the sky. "Even if this divine oath can't completely restrain me, it can still tether my strength and pace, rendering me unable to fight against you all. Besides, how powerful is the Great Sun Celestial Venerable? How deep is his foundation? I only need to give him any opportunity, and he will surely win. Just like he said hundreds of thousands of years ago, he will definitely place my soul in the core of the sun to forge it for ten thousand years!"

He could feel that the coldness in the eyes of the two Abyss had obviously faded a lot.

The Lord of Darkness chuckled and put away his malicious intent. "That sounds good, but 200 billion Jingyi Altars are too many. Since you plan to condense your true spirit within the canopy of Tianji Star, what do you need so many Jingyi Altars for?"

"Of course it's to fight against the Sun."

Lin Rui's face was stern, his eyes fixed. "Do you think that after the Battle of Huangshan Island, you and I can rest easy? Those remnants of the Great Sun will not give up. With the Great Sun Celestial Venerable at the root, at the foundation of the Sky Curtain, there is still an 80% chance that they will corrode and corrupt me.

Every time my cultivation level improves, he will awaken a little more in me. Especially the Nine Realms Divine Illumination, it is still my gate to hell. Only the cognitive anchor of 200 billion believers can give me a sufficient chance of victory."

"Too much!" At this time, the voice from the Eastern Abyss also resounded in the air like thunder.

He said succinctly: "Add the previous 28 billion, and the total will be 50 billion!"

Lin Rui laughed out loud: "Five billion is not enough in any case. The gods are all very clear-sighted and should know what my Bright King Sect is all about. It is a group of Bright King believers that were bribed with money. Their faith is very shallow. Even 50 billion may not be enough to win over such believers, not to mention -"

Lin Rui paused. He glanced at the gods first, then gazed intently at the Abyss. "The Federation and I must also have a backup plan, lest a future Transcendent God King treat our Federation like pigs and dogs, driving them around and enslaving them at will. Do you agree?"

The goddess with long silver-blue hair and the god with red hair and beard looked at Lin Rui for a moment.

The goddess pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I will grant you the capacity for 100 billion people, not an inch more. You must swear an oath immediately, without further delay."

All the gods present were silent upon hearing this. The eastern sky was in turmoil, and dark clouds were rolling in the gloomy sky. It was obvious that they were not satisfied with the decision of the Abyss.

However, after a while, these gods gradually put away their malice towards Lin Rui and accepted the offer made by the Abyss.

Dreamy Lord was not surprised to see this.

The abyss in the middle needs more, stronger and larger artificial skylights. Lin Rui's construction of more "Jingyi Holy Altars" will be beneficial to the growth of this skylight.

The fighting power of these two is comparable to that of the God King, and the two of them are enough to contain the Abyss of the East and the Lord of Darkness.

As for the two gods of the northwest abyss, they are obviously happy to see it happen. In fact, they need more time than the two gods of Central Continent.

From their point of view, the later this transcendence war starts, the better. The artificial sky canopy planned and built by the Changsheng Society has completely disrupted their plans.

There was still some suspicion in the eyes of Dreamy Heavenly Master. By doing this, Lin Rui was giving up his advantage in the artificial sky and also giving up the opportunity to transcend.

Is this boy's ambition really just to become the 'Abyss'?

However, this is a wise move for Lin Rui himself and the human beings on Earth, and it is also something that Dreamy Heavenly Venerable is happy to see.

Lin Rui's words did win him a chance to survive, but also split the positions and attitudes of the gods.

"That's it!" Dreamy Heavenly Venerable raised his hand slightly as he spoke, summoning three scrolls from the void and presenting them to Lin Rui. "These are made from the skin and scales of the war dragon of the former Divine Talisman Heavenly Venerable. They are strong enough to bear witness to your divine oath."

When the gods heard this, their aura changed.

Lin Rui couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and waves began to grow in his heart.

Shenfu Tianzun was a powerful god who created talismans and formations in the past. It is said that when he was at his peak, he also had the power of a god king!
However, such a powerful god suddenly disappeared 20 years ago and has never been seen since.

Many archaeologists and humanists in the Federation who study Tianji Star believe that Shenfu Tianzun most likely died in the struggle with Huanhuan Tianzun, but there has been no evidence.

Today this speculation has been confirmed. Fantasy Lord actually took out the war dragon skin scales of Divine Talisman Lord as the basis for his oath. It can be seen that this ancient god really fell at the hands of Fantasy Lord.

After Lin Rui took over, he first used his divine sense to check the scroll. After sensing that it had not been tampered with, he flicked his finger and ejected three drops of blood with platinum patterns. The moment the blood left his body, it burst into a white flame. The flames licked the war dragon scales on the scroll, instantly burning a charred inscription. The three drops of blood then merged into it, completing the divine oath document.

Lin Rui then waved his sleeves and threw the three divine oath documents into the three light marks in the sky.

"The divine oath has been made!" Dreamy Heavenly Venerable chuckled, his eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction. "Then I wish in advance that His Excellency the Lord of Purity will replace the Sun and ascend to the Abyss!"

As He spoke, He raised His hand and snapped His fingers. This dream kingdom of God instantly shattered like foam in front of Lin Rui's eyes.

When Lin Rui's consciousness returned to the world and returned to Huangshan Island, he saw that the conceptual macro-force field of the Beisheng Diocese's Divine Army Fleet on Huangshan Island had been torn into pieces by the 'Devourer'. The purple fire of the Southern Abyss had spread into it, and in an instant, some of the warships were burned into molten lava.

A chilling murderous intent emerged in Lin Rui's pupils. The twelve-layered light crown above his head completely transformed into a golden sun, making the entire sky around him look like a furnace with platinum-colored lightning and fire.

The nine pairs of galaxy light wings behind him suddenly retracted like bowstrings, and in an instant, countless spears of lightning and fire shot out like streams of light, emitting billions of dazzling golden rays, burning the black hole of the Devouring Lord hanging on the dome into spider web cracks, and even piercing through it and shattering it!

Lin Rui then raised his hand again, and all the holy fire and blood essence of the 7.2 million priests, the faith and will of billions of believers condensed by the magnificent altar, and the conceptual macro force field of the entire fleet, were condensed in Lin Rui's hands in an instant.

They collapsed and shrank, condensing into a singularity, turning into a platinum-colored knife, flying towards the abyss to the south like a stream of light.

"roll!"

The face of the Southern Abyss turned pale and blue. He was unwilling to give up, but without thinking, his body transformed into a flame and dissipated.

He originally wanted to use the purple flames on Huangshan Island to avoid Lin Rui's "Root Slash".

But in the next moment, Lin Rui's voice shook his eardrums like thunder, "How dare you use your so-called burning method in front of the Lord of Light!"

Lin Rui formed a seal with his left hand and pressed it on the top of the head of the Great Sun Golden Crow. This divine bird, a combination of machinery and flesh and blood, immediately let out a deafening cry and spread its wings like a flaming cloud hanging from the sky. The liquid holy thunder and flames flowing through the gaps in the nano-armor turned into a rainstorm, pouring down on the sky above Huangshan Island.

His holy thunder and fire and the method of purification intertwined into a dazzling golden light column that penetrated the sky and the earth, and also illuminated the entire Huangshan Island battlefield into a burning temple.

The purple flames either collapsed upon contact or merged into it, and one third of them were wiped out in an instant.

While Lin Rui was fighting against the Abyss of the South and the Lord of Devouring, he actually still had the energy left to fight with the Lord of Hope.

He raised his supreme heavenly sword high, drawing the energy of the entire battlefield into him, condensing it into a brilliant ray of light, illuminating the entire sky like a supernova explosion.

Just before the blood-red sword of Lord Hope was about to pierce through the body of the Invincible Dharma King, Lin Rui's Supreme Heavenly Sword also forcibly broke through time and space and came roaring.

The blood-red sword of the Lord of Hope drew a trajectory in the void that made the Invincible Dharma King, Lin Xi, Lin Yi and others despair, but at the moment when the Supreme Heavenly Sword slashed, it was decomposed into primitive particles by the method of purification, which also made the two women Lin Xi and Lin Yi who were fighting next to them feel relieved.

Lord Hope's eyes narrowed slightly, and then nine pairs of blood-red wings spread out behind him.

His blood-soaked sword stirred up the screams of billions of wronged souls. Every inch of the blade's blood-red light reflected battlefields littered with corpses, or cities and villages burned by the flames of purgatory. Inside, one could see countless faces praying to him—that was the embodiment of the 'hope' he had harvested three hundred thousand years ago.

The two divine weapons then began to collide more violently, and billions of sparks began to intertwine in the void. Every time the blades intersected, it was like a collision of stars, causing violent tremors in the space.

The power of the two gods created a terrifying energy storm over Huangshan Island, tearing the surrounding clouds into pieces and revealing the distorted starry sky behind it.

The scattered sword energy and shock waves swept across a thousand miles of sea, causing the Beisheng fleet that was retreating below to be blown back. Some of the steel warships were twisted into a pretzel by the golden lightning and blood-red sword energy.

The entire plate near Huangshan Island also groaned under the heavy burden, and the 4,000-kilometer coastline in the north of Nanzhou suddenly rose into a thousand-meter-high rock wall. Boiling lava spewed out from the newborn craters, dyeing the night sky scarlet.

"Your hope is the desperate last ray of light for hundreds of billions of lives!" The golden sun behind Lin Rui was spinning in reverse at this time, purifying the power of hope of the Lord of Hope and transforming it into holy thunder and calamity fire.

"And I! Carrying the hopes of all living beings, I will split the darkness with holy thunder, cleanse the world with catastrophe fire, and illuminate the world with light!"

The supreme heavenly sword in his hand burst out with brilliant light again, cutting the blood-colored river into pieces.

Today, He is the Light!

At this time, the Devourer's sinister laughter came from the sky. Although his black hole was pierced by the spear of thunder and fire, it was still spreading and expanding rapidly until it covered the sky and the sun.

Countless spatial cracks opened up on the surface of the water wall, revealing the turbulent dimensional currents inside. The entire East China Sea was swallowed up by his power and rolled back into a thousand-meter-high circular water wall.

As the Devourer laughed, the black hole that covered the sky and the sun suddenly pressed down, swallowing half of Lin Rui's wings like a giant mouth.

However, even more magnificent and grand hymns could be heard from the five magnificent altars and prayer rooms inside the fleet.

"The Golden Crow, bearing the sun, patrols the heavens. Ten thousand ships hang in star-studded formations of light. The glazed holy altar illuminates a thousand worlds. The Pure Wheel of Dharma suppresses the eight wastelands. Iron armor bathed in blood, dragon scales shatter. Silver armor covered in frost, phoenix feathers flutter. The Nine-Layered Prison of Thunder opens its gates. The Seven Illusions Rainbow Bridge crosses the vast waves. Believers chant the Blood of Light together. War drums shake the four directions like a tide—"

The prayers of 7.2 million priests and the faith and will of 2.9 billion believers restored Lin Rui's Galaxy Wings to their original state in an instant. They not only shot out countless thunder and fire spears, but also thousands of chains, which slammed into the huge black hole of the Devouring Lord, sending the vast and boundless holy thunder and fire into it.

Lin Rui not only allowed it to be swallowed, but also fed it in the reverse direction.

No matter how much the Devouring Lord wants, Lin Rui can give him that much power of light and that much holy thunder and fire!

The purple flames of the Southern Abyss also transformed into fire snakes and intervened in the battle.

This god has surprisingly merged with his own 'Emperor Flame Immortal Dragon'. The concepts of 'incineration' and 'immortality' are integrated into the purple fire, penetrating almost every pore, fighting against Lin Rui's Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, and suppressing Lin Rui's method of purification with all his strength.

The invincible Dharma King Li Weiliang was still standing on the highest peak of Huangshan Island at this time. Under the protection of the Beisheng Divine Army fleet, he looked at the ruined Huangshan Island and the fragmented sky in front of him.

Lin Rui's star-shaped wings flickered between the purple flames and the black hole. The constantly peeling star sand and every shattered piece of light feather made her heart tighten.

Li Weiliang's hands were tightly gripping the Seven Illusions Sky Feather, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

She saw the battle between the four gods. Although they seemed to be at a stalemate on the surface, Lin Rui was actually trying his best to hold on. He was willing to consume a large amount of source essence and source core to protect her safety.

"Xiao Rui?"

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly as more fragments of memory flooded into her mind like a tide. She seemed to see the baby in the cradle again, the child to whom she felt an incomparable sense of closeness, the child with whom she was connected by blood, but whose brain she had dissected with her own hands, and even whose 'soul' she had divided.

——Is he Xiao Rui?
Was the Lord of Light, who was battling the three gods of Hope, Devouring, and Immortality, his own child? Was it Little Rui, whom he had sent into the virtual world, to endure the torture of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable for over a decade?
Also, if the battle continues like this, Xiao Rui might not be able to hold on, right?

He had obtained some of the source essence and core of the Great Sun Lord, but he was only at the eighth level of cultivation after all. His source essence and divine power were still very limited and could not withstand such high-intensity combat consumption.

Just as Li Weiliang's fingertips dug deeply into the flesh, a silver-blue space ripple suddenly lit up in the northeastern sky.

Li Weiliang raised his head and looked, then his eyes showed surprise.

She saw another huge fleet of demons, a total of 12500 warships, descending in a quantum leap under the cover of a platinum sea of ​​fire. The space-time ripples formed in an instant illuminated the entire sea like a flowing galaxy.

Each battleship exuded powerful energy fluctuations, and the star-destroying cannons on the bow glowed with a cold and dim light, as if ready to tear the sky apart at any time.

The macro force field runes engraved on the surface of the hull are like living golden blood vessels, with spider-web-like energy veins spreading from the seams of the armor.

The conceptual macro force field they opened instantly combined with Lin Rui's fleet macro force field, forming a tremendous energy torrent that covered the entire battlefield.

The Blood River Blade Qi of the Lord of Hope suddenly froze. He looked at the Federation Fleet, which almost covered half the sky, three hundred miles away. For the first time, cracks appeared in his crimson pupils: "How dare you ants—"

Before he finished speaking, the desperate souls harvested by him suddenly opened their eyes in the river of blood. The power of "hope" actually flowed upstream along the blood river, blasting spider-web-like cracks into his right arm holding the knife.
