At the same time, within the Seventh Star Ringâ
An inconspicuous ochre-colored star amidst the vast sea of stars suddenly trembled.
The starâs surface instantly cracked apart, collapsing with a thunderous boom to reveal... an egg at its core!
The egg was also fracturing.
Finally, a small beast crawled out.
The moment it emerged, an aura at the peak of the Lord God realm erupted from its body. It abruptly turned its head, gazing toward the Ninth Star Ring.
"As expected, it was a trap. But... what I truly sought wasnât your fleshâit was your memories of walking the Umbilical Cord of the Divine God!"
"So this... is the Umbilical Cord of the Divine God..."
Simultaneously, in the Thirteenth Star Ringâ
A god was ascending.
As a Divine Platformcultivator, It had reached the pinnacle within Its divine planet. All of this was thanks to a supreme treasure It had obtained early onâ
A black bronze pagoda!
This treasure had allowed It to grow rapidly and remain undefeated.
Now, having reached Its peak, It was preparing to leave Its divine planet for a higher divine kingdom.
It was confident that with the mysterious black pagoda, It could advance to the True God level.
But... just as It was about to departâ
The black pagoda inside Its body suddenly trembled, then violently sucked inward!
Before the god could react, Its body convulsedâinstantly drained completely, leaving nothing behind.
The process was so fast it was nearly instantaneous.
It didnât even realize what had happened...
Only the black pagoda remained, floating mid-air before suddenly plunging downward, embedding Itself into the planetâs surface.
In the next moment, the planet quaked violently.
Every god, every living being on itâwithered to ash in an instant.
All of it was absorbed into the black pagoda.
Finally, a deep divine voice echoed from within:
"The Umbilical Cord of the Divine God..."
A similar scene unfolded in two other mysterious locations.
One was the hidden retreat of the paper figurineâconcealed within a special spacetime inside a painted scroll, recuperating to restore Its realm.
The other was even more enigmaticâthe Mother Riverâs contingency.
It had transformed into a single word hidden within Its world:
"Water."
In truth, the Mother Riverâs contingency was the most unique of them all.
But unfortunately... in Wanggu, there existed a being who did not wish for the Mother River to remain hidden.
Thus, amidst the churning mist above Peerless City, the void rippledâ
The wishing mask Xu Qing had brought into this spacetime suddenly appeared!
Its sole purpose was to harm the Mother River!
Now, witnessing the Mother Riverâs escape, the maskâs expression twisted with madness.
The moment It manifested, It unleashed Its full aura without restraintâand began to burn!
Using Its mysterious connection to the Mother River, It served as a beacon for Desolate!
Thus, in the next instantâ
As the mask burned, the void before it split open, revealing an image:
The hidden location of the Mother Riverâs contingency!
A strand of hair descended from the misty heavens, piercing into the image!
A shrill scream echoed as the hair retractedâ
And in that distant world, the word "water" was erased.
The moment it was erased, the sky of that world rippled.
A golden maskâlong sealed within the Mother Riverâs siltâfinally broke free from Its ancient shackles.
"Mother River... back then, you used the pretext of wishes to seal me, plunder my divine authority, and steal my divine aspect..."
"Today... karma is settled. This... is the price of wishing."
...
Wangguâthe spacetime where Peerless City had existed.
The mist still churned in the sky, obscuring Desolateâs face.
But the spacetime itself... had begun to dissipate.
Xu Qing knew that the karma between him and Zi Qing had reached its conclusion.
Whether Zi Qing would succeed remained unknownâand Xu Qing no longer cared.
He lowered his head, watching as the flowing of time gradually resumed amidst the dissipation...
Blood rain began to fall.
The spacetime of that era, now fractured, seemed to accelerate its narration of events.
Xu Qing saw his younger self awaken in the blood rain.
He saw himself struggle to stand and wander away in confusion.
He saw his seven-year-old self in the wildernessâbullied, robbed.
He saw the helplessness of that childhood.
Until finally, he witnessed his younger self pulling an iron stick from the ruins.
With his frail body, he pressed the stickâs tip against his own throat.
His eyes numb, filled with farewell, he closed them.
And just as his childhood self was about to make that final choiceâ
A ragged little girl walked over and handed him a candied hawthorn.
Her eyes were bright in that filthy world.
And the candied fruit stirred waves in the depths of his younger selfâs memories.
Xu Qingâs heart ached.
These were scenes he would never forget.
He saw his younger self, upon seeing the candied hawthorn, slowly release his grip on the iron spike.
Finally collapsing to the ground, he... began to cry.
This was childhood.
With a sigh, as the spacetime dissipated and this fragment of history neared its end, Xu Qing watched the unfolding scenesâ
He saw himself grow stronger.
And then he witnessed a moment that still stirred his heart to this day:
The little girl who had given him the candied hawthorn lay in a pool of blood.
And his younger self was driving the iron stick into a villainâs throat.
He pulled it out slowly, letting the blood spill over himself.
After a long silence, his younger self walked to the girlâs body and gently closed her still-open eyes.
"I avenged you."
With these words, the spacetime shattered.
The timeline of Peerless City fragmented like broken glass, its pieces slicing through history as reality reasserted itself!
Thus, the world shed the fog of history.
The sky returned to the present.
The land revealed the Sky Devouring Region.
And Xu Qing still stood before the Purple Green Kingdomâs palace.
But Zi Qing was no longer inside.
Xu Qing silently raised his head.
Gazing at the sky.
There... the mist was gone.
Desolate still hung high.
But Its face was no longer fragmented.
It was completeâ
Half shadow, half flesh.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be... Zi Qingâs face.
"There is still one more thing to do..."
Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and spoke softly, looking at his palm.
The scrap of paper had been brought back to the present.
As he stared at it, killing intent surged in his eyes.
With a fierce clench of his fist, his Ordinance Law eruptedâ
Locking onto a specific point in the starry void.
"Droz... for the grievance against the Sword Holding Great EmperorâIâm coming for you!"
"No matter how many clones you have, no matter how many spacetimes or planes you hide in... you cannot escape!"
With one step, Xu Qing strode into the starry sky!
