Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Shura, you're very clever!"

Yan's voice suddenly rang out. At this moment, the God-Kings realized that, without them noticing, clusters of colorful light had appeared around them. If they had continued to fight just now, who knows who might have been the first to perish?

Yan's eyes had become clear, and everything seemed peaceful and satisfactory. The previous confusion and emptiness were gone, and there was no trace of restlessness. It seemed that everything was under his control.

With Yan regaining consciousness, the obstruction of the gods had to end. He no longer paid attention to the gods, but instead looked up into the infinite depths of the void universe.

Chapter 791 Supreme

In the vast universe, Yan held the Divine Emperor's Scepter and gazed into the depths of space. The surging power of the laws made him realize that the final test had arrived.

A terrifying pressure was relentlessly pressing down on his body from all directions. At that moment, all he could feel was his own existence.

A certain peculiar law surrounding him was gradually causing him to lose his senses. Deep within his heart, a strange malice was surging, as if it might erupt at any moment.

He could feel his body collapsing under this immense pressure. Even with his powerful regenerative abilities, which were close to those of a supreme god-king, it was all in vain under this terrifying pressure of the laws. This was the ultimate test from the laws of the universe.

It seemed as if nothing had happened, but in reality, it had already descended upon him, silent and omnipresent, making it impossible to avoid.

Unseen by fate, this pressure continued to erupt with immense force, suppressing him until he could no longer bear it. Unable to release the pressure within him, he could not continue, ultimately leading to his self-destruction.

He bit his tongue sharply, the intense pain bringing a sense of reality; at this moment, only pain could bring him truth. In this instant, he tried his best to remain clear-headed and lucid.

"What exactly does the Supreme God-King represent? How should a God-Star be created? Does it require the approval of the laws of the universe?"

The external pressure intensified, almost forcing him to stop thinking and nearly causing him to lose consciousness. However, he gritted his teeth and persevered, while continuously circulating his divine power to make various reactions.

Within his mental sea, the AI ​​Dawn was operating frantically, and a bright light suddenly shone before him. It was a point of nine-colored light, and when it appeared, the external pressure suddenly lessened considerably, allowing Yan to regain some clarity of mind.

A sudden clarity dawned on him, and the Divine Emperor's Scepter in his palm emitted a dazzling divine light. He suddenly realized that as long as he controlled his power correctly, the laws of the universe could not affect him in any way.

The influence of the laws of the universe must follow the rules of the laws of the universe and has a special framework. The Dragon God suffered because he did not understand them deeply. Some small problems were magnified infinitely, and he eventually lost his mind and destroyed himself. He only needs to understand the laws of the universe enough.

Yan's mind cleared up, and he immediately felt a large amount of energy surging in from all directions, flowing into his body along the Divine Emperor's Scepter and strengthening his power. The emptiness he had felt earlier, which he could not resist the pressure, was greatly reduced.

Yan channeled his divine power into the Divine Emperor's Scepter. The pressure that had previously weakened suddenly intensified, surging towards him once more.

The divine emperor's scepter in his hand slowly gathered power, and an inexplicable understanding burst forth from within this pressure. He suddenly swung it out, and pressure from all directions erupted, but he managed to withstand it.

An even greater pressure came from all directions. At this moment, his inner enlightenment reached its peak, and he unleashed another attack, with thousands of divine rays bursting outwards like fireworks.

All his knowledge and insights were constantly merging and integrating under this pressure.

A ring of nine-colored light emanated outwards, continuously weakening the greatest pressure and making his aura stronger.

An immense, almost incomparable pressure emanated from all directions, but the sudden surge in pressure could no longer pose the slightest threat to Yan.

"Heh...can you really still hurt me?"

Yan suddenly chuckled and asked a question. At his level, just like the Dragon God back then, the laws of the universe could no longer directly destroy him. They could only attack his inner weaknesses and make him self-destruct. After realizing this, he was no longer afraid.

The unknown is the most terrifying. The Dragon God of yesteryear was caught off guard because he didn't know that the laws of the universe specifically target weaknesses. Now that he understands this, the laws of the universe can no longer suppress him.

The laws of the universe do not wish for the emergence of divine stars, because this would accelerate the process of multidimensional space, or even accelerate the collapse of the universe, thus causing the universe to decline more quickly.

However, the laws of the universe are invisible; they lack true intelligence and cannot manifest as a more powerful entity to destroy the Dragon Realm. In fact, within the universe at that time, it was difficult to find an opponent on the same level as the Dragon Realm to serve as its enemy.

Therefore, it chose to suddenly attack the Divine Dragon Realm during its process of becoming a divine star. As the Divine Dragon Realm was upgraded, the laws of the universe interfered with its absorption of the energy of the star systems it controlled, making their energy absorption unstable.

This instability led the Dragon God to expend more power, resulting in a series of tragedies that ultimately caused the Dragon God to be unable to face himself, leading to self-destruction, the destruction of the dragon race, and the destruction of the already successfully ascended God Star.

It could be said that the ultimate culprit of that tragedy was the laws of the universe, but it also has its limitations. The Dragon God was caught in the trap because he was completely unaware of it, while Yan, having understood these things, would have been able to target the problem more effectively.

A divine star is not permitted to exist, but it must have appeared in the universe at some point. Otherwise, how would the Divine Dragon Realm know to create a divine star?

From a multidimensional perspective, a god-like star should belong to the level of a six-dimensional being. Since it has achieved this, it means that the laws of the universe are not entirely exclusive; as long as certain conditions are met, a god-like star can be created.

The laws of the universe do indeed forbid the creation of a single divine star. However, there are many entities in the universe that violate these laws, such as the Crimson Mother, the Abyss Saint, the Crimson Realm, and the Abyss Plane. These negative entities also contribute to the stability of the universe.

Therefore, any unstable factor that serves the stability of the universe, conforms to the laws of the universe, and contributes to the universe's smoother development is possible. In other words, the universe also needs powerful enforcers to maintain its balance.

The laws of the universe reject the existence of a divine star, which is not wrong in itself, and is true for the entire universe, in order to ensure the universe's permanence.

But if we look at it from another angle, as long as the existence of the Divine Star becomes reasonable and it becomes the balance and stability enforcer, then the Divine Star can exist.

"The laws of the universe, to put it simply, are special rules. The reason they prevent the appearance of divine stars is to stop the so-called cosmic catastrophe. Compared to the cosmic catastrophe, the appearance of divine stars is not unacceptable. To put it simply, it's a matter of priority."

Yan quickly figured everything out. The so-called laws of the universe were almost inflexible. Because the appearance of a divine star would accelerate the collapse of the universe, it would do everything in its power to hinder the birth of a divine star.

However, if a universe inexplicably collapses at an accelerated pace, requiring a divine star to suppress it in order to stabilize it, then this obstacle will become a driving force, which is in line with the development of the laws of the universe.

Yan had figured this out and understood what he should do. Destruction was always easier than construction. He could always find a way to cause the universe to collapse, but he couldn't do these things himself, as that would easily attract the attention of the laws of the universe.

"Those are things for the future. Now, let me break through the so-called illusion and witness the true universe!"

Yan's mind was clear, and the Divine Emperor's Scepter pointed directly at the void in front of him. Accompanied by waves of divine power, everything in front of him suddenly changed.

Yan's eyes suddenly grew brighter and brighter, and a powerful force burst forth from his body. He could feel the unparalleled energy fluctuations, and the Divine Emperor's Scepter in his hand also emitted an increasingly dazzling light.

The next instant, he smiled. The power that had been extremely compressed within his body erupted instantly. Amidst the violent roar, Yan's mental sea fell into a blank, and his consciousness seemed to have detached from his body and from the entire world.

He seemed to see the origin of the universe, and he saw the explosion that started from a single point, then spread to lines, then to surfaces, and finally to three-dimensionality.

This is the transformation of the universe, from one-dimensional space to two-dimensional space, then to three-dimensional space, and finally to four-dimensional space. This wondrous change gradually builds up the entire universe.

The universe is so vast, yet so tiny. Perhaps a single grain of sand is itself a universe. Or perhaps countless galaxies are merely a corner of the universe.

This is the mystery of the universe, this is the wonder of the universe. Invisibly, wondrous sensations flowed through the air, and all the strange changes lingered in his mind.

All the explosions seemed to be disappearing. He could no longer feel the pain. As his consciousness gradually returned, he felt his incredibly solid body and experienced a different world.

Everything began to feel unreal. When Yan sensed the existence of the real world, for some reason, an invisible pressure reappeared. But this time, his eyes were filled only with absolute confidence.

"Is this all the power you have? You still want to stop me again?!"

As Yan spoke, he raised the Divine Emperor's Scepter. With a wave of divine light, the immense pressure that terrified even the God-King level vanished instantly. For Yan, who had already seen through the nature of the pressure, this little trick was no longer effective.

“I am the God-Emperor, the Emperor of Gods, the Supreme One.”

Yan's voice seemed to carry some kind of boundless majesty. Suddenly, a divine light shot out from the depths of the universe and imprinted itself on him, as if acknowledging his words. As this divine light gradually subsided, his aura immediately changed.

"Is this what it feels like to be supreme? It really is different."

Yan felt the supreme authority that was unique in the universe, and in the next instant, his body appeared in the newly born God Realm, ranking above all the gods, sitting alone on an incomparably majestic throne.

"You succeeded?"

The five great giants, including the Asura God, stared at Yan with shock and disbelief in their eyes. They were all too familiar with this aura. This supreme feeling was almost exactly the same as that of the Dragon God back then, no, it was even more powerful.

At least the current Yan seems to be more oppressive to them than the Dragon God back then, which is even more incredible. What kind of existence is the Dragon God? He is the supreme god-king who rules over the ten divine realms. He has been at that level for countless years and is capable of challenging the god star.

As for Yan, he has cultivated for at most a hundred years, which is not even a fraction of their cultivation. How could he possess such great power and possibly surpass the Dragon God?

"You don't believe me? You want to test my power!"

Yan lowered his head and smiled calmly. Then, he slightly lowered the Divine Emperor Scepter in his hand. In an instant, an incomparably huge sense of oppression squeezed out many God-Kings and Main Gods from all directions. These were the guys who had attacked him earlier, some of whom he had even given special treatment to.

Although their intervention was part of the test of the universe's laws, it doesn't mean Yan has to forgive them.

"Do you know, when I was undergoing my tribulation, I thought about many things. I not only thought about how to become the only supreme god-king in the universe, but also how to become a god-star..."

As Yan Gang finished speaking, his tone suddenly became playful. Just as he was about to continue, the entire universe twisted violently, and then a red lightning bolt silently appeared above his head.

Yan immediately felt the divine power within his body was about to spiral out of control, and at the instant the blood-red lightning appeared, all the god-kings present felt as if the end of the world was coming, as if they would face death at any moment.

"Don't say it out loud, we know we were wrong."

The Asura God instantly roared, stopping Yan from continuing his story. He had realized that Yan was far beyond their capabilities, and this incident served as a warning, making them understand their own position. At this moment, he finally calmed down somewhat.

All the god-kings felt a sense of horror at that moment, because when the red lightning appeared, they all felt as if they were on the verge of destruction. This feeling was so terrifying that even as god-kings, they did not feel safe enough.

Yan smiled and leaned back on the throne without saying anything more, the red lightning around him gradually fading. Through this test, he understood some of the bottom lines of the universe's laws and had more ideas forming in his mind.

In that brief moment, he sensed many things. The red lightning wasn't meant to destroy him, but rather it conveyed an aura of majesty and told him something.

His insights touched upon cosmic taboos, not to be known by too many beings, especially not by the God-Kings. Once he revealed that crucial point, all the God-Kings present who heard it would be subjected to a test of the cosmic laws, with only death as their ultimate fate.

"We will cooperate with you, you don't need to say anything."

As the red lightning faded away, the Asura God still felt uneasy. He looked at Yan Zhengzhong and said that as an existence close to that level, he naturally understood some of the taboos of the universe.

Chapter 792 The Great Cosmic Calamity

"You summoned me, God Emperor."

At the center of the newly formed God Realm, Yan stood alone, seemingly isolated. A figure appeared behind him at some unknown time; it was none other than the Asura God, one of the five giants of the original Douluo God Realm, representing order and law enforcement.

With his back to the God of Asura, Yan spoke in a calm voice, "Asura, what do you think of existences like the Crimson Realm and the Abyss Plane?"

After thinking for a moment, the Asura God replied, "The existence of such planes is extremely harmful to the universe, but it also has a certain degree of rationality. If our divine realm were to encounter them, we could destroy them."

“You’re right, these kinds of planes are extremely harmful and must be destroyed.”

Yan's voice suddenly became ethereal, and then he calmly continued, "The divine realm enforces the law to maintain the peace of the universe and eliminates such malignant tumors that devour planes. This is in accordance with the laws of the universe, so we can take the initiative to attack, right?"

"This……"

The Asura God instinctively sensed that something was amiss and hesitated somewhat.

"Shura, you're a smart man, you can continue asking questions."

Yan's next words filled the Asura God with fear. This pointed remark immediately reminded him of the blood-red lightning bolt from that day. If nothing unexpected happened, this would involve that taboo again.

"You should be fine now!"

Yan's voice continued, and how could the Asura God dare to ask further? Yan continued, "Let Chang Gongwei take the lead in handling this matter. Isn't it normal for light to sweep away such a malignant darkness?"

"I understand."

The Asura God bowed slightly, then left the center of the divine realm to convey his orders to the divine domain of the God of Light, Chang Gongwei.

In the newly formed divine realm, Yan, the God-Emperor, is the helmsman. Apart from him, all the other gods, including the various God-Kings, while possessing power and status, must also shoulder their own responsibilities.

Yan stood there watching the Asura God gradually disappear into the distance, his gaze growing deeper as he looked into the depths of the universe. "Will you stop it? Tell me, how will the laws of the universe react?"

Yan was looking forward to everything that was about to happen. In the past few days, he had used the powerful strength of the Supreme God King to accurately locate energy-devouring planes similar to the Crimson Domain and the Abyss Plane.

These planes grow stronger by invading other planes, making them a malignant tumor to the universe, yet they exist as cleaners permitted by the laws of the universe. Of course, the fate of these planes is basically to eventually perish and become defeated evil, and their demise is in accordance with the procedures of the laws of the universe.

Ultimately, cancerous growths cannot be cleansed or erased. From the moment they violate the laws of the universe, although they have followed some bottom lines and become cleaners, and have not been directly eliminated, the more they grow and develop, the more they deviate from the bottom line of the laws of the universe, and in the end, they will still fail on their own.

The Crimson Realm was actually like that back then. The Crimson Mother had actually found the right path, which was to split off other planes after growing to a certain size. This way, she wouldn't have the foundation to become a god-realm, and she wouldn't cross that line.

Unfortunately, she still harbored ambitions to create a divine realm. Little did she know that the laws of the universe set endless tests for the birth of ordinary divine realms, and for those like her who developed by devouring, they would be sentenced to death from the very beginning.
