I Really Want to Become a True Divine Being!

The sky tore apart. A gigantic, elongated vortex spun in the heavens, forming an oval shape.

The eternal darkness of the Dream Realm loomed like a gaping maw devouring the mortal world, threatening to drag all living beings into eternal slumber. Yet, it also resembled a profound eye gazing upon humanity, although no one could tell if that gaze held coldness or compassion.

Whooom!

The mythological gate descended like lightning from the sky. Its powerful spiritual pressure instantly crushed the entire lord's mansion, flattening the ground where it stood.

Under the gate's influence, hundreds upon hundreds of great serpents and winged serpents became even more active and powerful. Several winged serpents rapidly grew in size.

In the blink of an eye, they expanded from several meters to dozens of meters long.

This wasn't merely a matter of increasing a few times in length. To observers, they actually appeared dozens of times larger.

Yet on this battlefield, they remained nothing more than extensions of the domain and the demigod's realm. They were inconspicuous cornerstones stabilizing the field.

Carrying light and divine marks, the gate merged with Xiao's body. It then stood tall behind him, firmly planted upon the earth.

Xiao's power and very existence underwent an instantaneous transformation.

His domain and realm became far more solid.

Bathed in white sacred radiance, he stood beneath the Gate of Spirituality.

The power of mythology revealed itself completely.

Boom!

The blood-colored divine demon swung its scepter, crashing it heavily against Xiao's realm.

The Gate of Spirituality, having just displayed its magnificent divine power, trembled precariously. The sacred light-enshrouded realm shook violently.

Massive waves rose from the blood sea, surging toward Xiao.

Xiao and his Gate of Spirituality resembled a boat amid towering waves, appearing unstable and vulnerable.

But the reality was quite different.

Xiao looked remarkably calm, while the blood-colored divine demon grew increasingly agitated.

Having merged with the Gate of Spirituality, Xiao had become a demigod in Vivien's eyes.

Even if the Blood Progenitor Vivien destroyed his domain realm, even if she tore apart the Gate of Spirituality, she would merely erase his power.

She could not truly kill him.

Once one became a demigod, they no longer possessed the obvious weaknesses of a reincarnator.

No matter how severe the damage or how grave the situation, they would at most temporarily lose their power.

He would ultimately be reborn through the other servants of the Lord of Radiance. Restoring his power would merely require some time.

Having waited through countless eons, what was a short wait now?

Killing a divine being was incredibly difficult, far harder than destroying a Mythical Artifact like the Little Person in the Bottle.

For now, no one yet knew how to truly kill a Wisdom demigod. Nor had any Wisdom demigod ever truly fallen.

Roar!

Vivien grew furious beyond measure. The blood-colored divine demon released a wrathful roar reflecting her emotional state.

She could understand Asai's choice, but she could not accept Xiao becoming a demigod.

The blood-colored divine demon attacked again, its scepter piercing directly through Xiao's realm.

Xiao immediately opened the Gate of Spirituality, blocking the scepter from advancing further.

Countless feathers floated out from within the Gate of Spirituality, transforming the entire world into something holy and dreamlike.

The feathers danced in the air, gradually transforming into the shadows of numerous Sky Messengers.

Brilliant sacred light swept across the blood sea, briefly turning the entire world white.

Xiao stated calmly, "I have succeeded."

"You cannot kill me, Vivien."

He addressed Vivien directly by name.

Simultaneously, he released all the great serpents and winged serpents he had created.

If even one winged serpent escaped, it would become his extension on Ruhe Beast Island.

Dense masses of great serpents charged in all directions, only to be instantly devoured by the blood sea.

"He's trying to escape."

"Don't let them get away."

"These are the demigod's servants. They can be vessels for the Wisdom demigod's incarnations."

One after another, Trilobite Symbiotes appeared above the blood sea. They slaughtered Xiao's great serpents and the puppets formed from white feathers.

Meanwhile, several winged serpents flew toward the distance under the cover of radiant light, soaring toward the sky and clouds.

These were the key, Xiao's true objective.

The blood-colored divine demon opened its eyes. Blood light and shadows shot forth, instantly annihilating the clouds in the sky.

Wooo!

A piercing sound like an alarm wailed from the sky as winged serpents were destroyed one after another.

But at this moment, Xiao unexpectedly launched a counterattack. He directly controlled the Gate of Spirituality, crashing it against the blood-colored divine demon.

The blood-colored divine demon reacted quickly.

It flipped one hand to press the rising mythological gate back to the ground, while its other hand swung the scepter, striking the gate.

A thunderous roar echoed for dozens of miles. A corner of the Gate of Spirituality shattered and flew off.

Xiao watched the final escaping winged serpent disappear into the distant sea of clouds. He knew he had accomplished his goal.

At the very least, he had managed to leave behind an avatar vessel on Ruhe Beast Island.

Unbeknownst to Xiao, the once pure white Gate of Spirituality was slowly being tainted black from the base upward.

He watched the towering divine demon, massive as the sky itself, swing its scepter once more with furious determination to tear him apart.

Xiao calmly told Vivien, "Stop."

"It has come to this. You should accept defeat."

"Contain your emotions and consider your next move."

"If you wish to kill me, prepare a strategy to truly end me."

"Not like this, venting your rage."

"That is merely weakness and incompetence."

Xiao stared at Vivien and spoke of past events.

"Vivien. You are the Sage of Truth, Lan's student, and a Trilobite Person priestess representing truth and the will of the saints."

"I once taught you divine techniques. I told you that a priestess must possess rationality."

Xiao opened his hands and shook his head.

"Look at yourself," Xiao said, his tone calm yet piercing.

"Completely blinded by hatred. Without a trace of rationality."

The voice of the blood-colored divine demon echoed between heaven and earth. "You madman! You dare speak of the past?"

"Do you even remember being an instructor at the Temple of Truth?"

"Do you even remember you were once a priest of the Trilobite People?"

The massive power of the blood-colored divine demon cracked the ground in layers, forcibly squeezing the base of the Gate of Spirituality deep into the earth.

The scepter swung down once more, cracking one of the gate's pillars.

The blood sea surged forward again, eroding and battering his defenses. Xiao's domain realm shrank once more.

The damage to the Gate of Spirituality also inflicted severe injury on Xiao. His form appeared noticeably weaker.

In such direct confrontation, having lost agility and mobility, he was no match for the Life Ability demigod.

Yet the Blood Progenitor Vivien could not completely kill him either, only severely weaken him.

"Xiao!" Vivien shouted, her voice filled with fury.

"You killed my teacher! Have you never felt any guilt?"

"You caused the deaths of so many people. You destroyed the Temple of Truth."

"Those people were your companions, your students. They lived with you for decades."

"They saw you as a friend. They treated you as an elder, as their most trusted and reliable person."

These people included Vivien herself.

The blood-colored divine demon attacked once more. Xiao channeled his power into a great serpent.

The serpent instantly swelled to hundreds of meters long. It lunged toward the blood-colored divine demon, attempting to entangle and impede its movements.

But the blood-colored divine demon simply grabbed the great serpent and tore it into two pieces.

Xiao continued his assault without pause.

He created numerous divine technique puppets to harass the blood-colored divine demon, irritating the Blood Progenitor Vivien to no end.

When Xiao heard Vivien mention his teacher, his eyes subtly changed. They had been constantly observing the blood sea and analyzing the blood-colored divine demon's power.

For the first time, he explained to others why he had acted as he did. It was the first time he revealed his psychological journey.

"Vivien," Xiao called out, his voice steady and unyielding.

"This is not about grievances and entanglements, much less about love and hatred."

"This is about different paths."

"We are pursuing different things. We want to reach different destinations."

Xiao and Vivien conversed while battling. Their fighting styles were completely distinct.

One fought with broad, powerful strikes, while the other intricately controlled various puppets, employing ever-changing divine techniques.

Xiao seemed to be barely holding on, his figure battered and worn. Yet, in his eyes, Vivien's relentless attacks were nothing more than a futile outburst of rage.

The moment he ascended to divine status was the moment he won.

Victory wasn't determined by appearances, but by who could achieve their goals and plans.

He had successfully ascended to divine status, while Vivien had failed to kill him.

He was now the victor.

He had obtained what he wanted and was about to pursue the destination he had long sought.

"I did not kill my teacher because I hated him. I respected him greatly."

Even someone like Xiao showed a nostalgic expression, his lips curving into a slight smile.

The figure wearing the sage's robe appeared before his eyes.

His Divine Grace Puppet was a Sugar Crystal Giant wearing a chef's hat, looking somewhat comical. He himself was as humorous and witty as his puppet.

That scene was from very long ago.

Even Xiao himself in that memory was so young.

The teacher stood on the shoulder of the Divine Grace Puppet, setting off toward the distance. Their goal was to transform ritual temples, making the power of rituals and miracles benefit more Trilobite People.

The young Xiao curiously examined the Divine Grace Puppet, recording its special characteristics. His behavior was methodical and proper.

He seemed to always approach tasks with meticulous planning, handling everything with precision and order.

This made Xiao appear like a dull stone, completely unlike his teacher Lan.

His teacher thought this wasn't good and tried to make him laugh.

The teacher told him a joke from his childhood, but Xiao showed no smile. Nor did he understand what was funny about it.

His teacher sighed helplessly, "Your name is Xiao, yet your face shows not the slightest trace of a smile?"

Xiao's name meant "smile" in the Trilobite People's language.

Xiao looked up, gazing at his teacher.

"Smile?"

"What's the point?"

He believed it was merely a meaningless expression, a way to please others and gain favor.

His teacher told him, "Because of joy."

Xiao analyzed the behavior. "Joy is merely the satisfaction of obtaining what one wants."

His teacher asked him, "Haven't you gotten what you want?"

Xiao answered then, "I don't want much, but what I want is difficult to obtain."

The memory lasted but a brief moment before he returned to reality.

Xiao continued without pause, his gaze fixed on Vivien.

"I respected him greatly," Xiao said, his voice steady and unwavering.

"Even now."

"But I had reasons that compelled me to kill him. Only by killing him could I obtain what I desired."

The blood-colored divine demon grew even more furious.

Nothing was more sickening than hearing someone justify the evil act of killing their own teacher with such noble-sounding words.

Xiao cast everything aside, disregarding his surroundings and Vivien's reactions.

He spoke of his own truth.

He opened his arms, turning in a circle to look at everything around him.

He gazed at the earth, the sky, the sea of clouds.

The stars beyond the sky were invisible, yet still existing.

"Look," he said with unwavering conviction.

"Compared to this vast world, we are so small and ignorant."

"We don't know how large the ocean is. We don't know how vast the land is. We don't know what lies in the distance."

"We are but one among millions of Trilobite People. We consider ourselves extraordinary, yet in reality, we are so insignificant in this world."

"Yet despite our insignificance, we shine with the light of wisdom. We possess endless possibilities."

"Because we possess wisdom, we can change our smallness."

"Because we possess wisdom, we can break through our ignorance."

Xiao's voice grew louder. "This is the meaning of our existence."

His eyes radiated brilliance.

Only now, at the instant of becoming a divine being, did he feel his life possessed color.

He had grasped the future and infinite possibilities.

He now possessed a long life, free to pursue that endless unknown.

Xiao continued, "Vivien, we pursue different things."

"All you want is the Trilobite People. You can only see what is at your feet."

"Emotions are merely the driving force behind the pursuit of goals."

"Race is just a pawn that pushes civilization forward."

"And civilization is only a tool for seeking something greater."

His voice filled with arrogance, as if looking down upon everything in this world, scorning all the Trilobite People who had ever existed.

"Yet you all treat these things as everything."

"Your vision is too narrow. Your hearts cannot embrace this world, cannot contain the endless sea of stars."

"But what we can accomplish far exceeds our imagination."

"We can surpass our predecessors. We can break the boundaries of life. We can even become immortal gods."

"We can achieve even more unimaginable feats."

"And this," he said slowly, his gaze unwavering.

"This is why the Creator made us. These are the infinite possibilities he bestowed upon King Redlichia and granted to us."

"The Creator gazes upon us from beyond this world, awaiting us to create these infinite possibilities."

"Why would the Creator be disappointed? Why abandon us to choose this era and create new intelligent species?"

Xiao looked at Vivien as if gazing at a fool.

"Because we ourselves abandoned these possibilities."

"Because your vision is so narrow."

Vivien didn't want to hear Xiao's words. The more she listened, the more disgusted she felt. She despised such a madman.

"Race was never a pawn, and civilization was never a tool."

"That is not the Will of the Saint."

"That is not why the Temple of Truth was established."

"We established the Temple of Truth precisely to advance civilization, so that everyone could live better lives."

"And you, Xiao," she said, her voice tight with restrained anger.

"You are thoroughly self-centered."

"No matter how noble-sounding your reasons, they cannot conceal your evil."

Xiao straightened his chest, staring directly at the terrifying blood-colored divine demon looming above. "I never conceal my wrongdoings, nor do I care about them."

"I," he declared, his voice low but unshakable, eyes locked on Vivien. "I simply want what I want."

Vivien exploded in rage. "Shut your mouth!"

The blood-colored divine demon swung its scepter once more. This time it unleashed power surpassing all previous attacks, hammering the Gate of Spirituality deep into the ground.

A massive crater appeared.

Crack!

Simultaneously, a series of brittle sounds echoed from the Gate of Spirituality.

Numerous cracks appeared on the gate, extending all the way to both door panels and fracturing along the Path of Wisdom pattern.

However, something strange occurred.

Cracks had appeared on Xiao's mythological body as well. This was highly unusual.

"Something is wrong!"

Xiao immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He tried to repair and transfer the injuries on his body, but found it impossible.

He decided not to entangle with Vivien any longer and attempted to manifest his consciousness in one of his servants.

But he discovered he could no longer do this.

He could neither transfer his injuries elsewhere nor use distant servants as avatars to escape.

From Vivien's perspective, Xiao merely seemed momentarily distracted, although in reality he had made numerous attempts.

Xiao finally discovered the problem.

He turned to look at the Gate of Spirituality. He noticed the blackness steadily spreading upward from below.

"Hmm?"

The original light of spirituality suddenly changed color. The Light of Original Sin appeared on the Gate of Spirituality.

The entire Gate of Spirituality transformed from white to black. Terrifying Light of Original Sin shot forth from within the gate, projecting into the distance.

Even Vivien was stunned by this sudden change.

The blood-colored divine demon instantly halted its movements.

Vivien didn't understand. "What's happening?"

But at this moment, she suddenly recalled Asai's earlier words.

"He will either die..."

"Or wish he had."

The Dream Realm.

A brand-new artifact appeared on the Divine Cup, swiftly passing through the rankings to reach the front.

The Divine Cup, source of the Dream Ability and supreme divine artifact, flickered with light.

Lines of text slowly flowed past.

A passing Nymph happened to witness this scene, watching the artifact sequence number rankings rapidly reorganize.

The Nymph had originally been heading to the God-Given Land but immediately stopped upon seeing this spectacle.

"Huh?"

"A new artifact has appeared?"

The Wood Nymph was curious, although she didn't sound like she was merely looking at rankings.

She sounded more like she was browsing in a shop.

The chaotic text reorganized for quite some time before finally settling.

【Divine Artifact: Original Sin Evil God】

【Sequence Number 5】

【Ability 1 Evil God's Blood: The Original Sin Evil God can create its own followers, bestowing them with great power.】

【Ability 2 Deformed Immortality: The Original Sin Evil God possesses the ability to never die. It cannot naturally perish. Its existence cycles eternally within the Evil God's body, lacking the characteristics of a divine being. Once the Evil God's body is shattered, it will immediately die.】

【Ability 3 Door of Original Sin: A gate fallen from the mythological gate of a Wisdom demigod. It has lost its original power, status, and properties, polluted by original sin...】

【Ability 4 Law of Original Sin:...............】

The Wood Nymph carefully examined the text but found that not everything was revealed to her.

Nymphs, as messengers of the gods, held quite high authority in the Dream Realm. Generally, only Mythical Artifacts and special items would refuse to display all information to them.

"Sequence Number 5?"

"A Mythical Artifact?"

Maya City.

At the center of the blood sea, a massive mythological gate slowly turned black.

Xiao stood beneath the mythological gate. He suddenly understood exactly what had happened.

His reincarnation had gone wrong.

He hadn't reincarnated into a new life at all. Instead, he had reincarnated inside an artifact.

This meant he hadn't become a demigod. Instead, he had become a Mythical Artifact.

"Who did this?"

"How was it accomplished?"

"How should I respond?"

These were Xiao's immediate thoughts, rather than the fear and panic a normal person would feel.

He figured out the answers to the first two questions almost instantly.

Those capable of dealing with him, and wanting to, could only be Asai and Vivien.

Judging by Vivien's reaction, this must have been Asai's doing.

As for how it was accomplished, Xiao recalled Asai showing no surprise upon learning his mother was in Xiao's hands. Xiao realized then that Asai must have known about his plan long ago. Asai had likely found Xiao's reincarnation vessel beforehand and transformed its shell into a Divine Artifact. After all, conspiracies and schemes fail precisely because they cannot withstand exposure to the light of day.

The last question was the most troublesome, perhaps even unsolvable.

How could he deal with this situation?

There was no way to deal with it.

Becoming an artifact during reincarnation meant that even his innate spirituality and wisdom had been corrupted. The difference between intelligent species and artifacts is that life develops its own spirituality and wisdom from the moment of birth.

Even if mortals lacked sufficient talent, they could reach the threshold through Bestowing of Power or divine gifts, as Xiao had done. They could then eliminate these impurities through reincarnation to ascend to divine status.

But nothing about an artifact was its own.

It lacked even the initial spark of wisdom and spirituality that could develop independently. This was why they were called artifacts.

Of course, Mythical Artifacts differed from ordinary artifacts.

Mythical Artifacts possessed true wisdom. Their bodies were forged using the four-part divine secret technique, allowing their wisdom and consciousness to emerge unaffected by other chaotic divine blood.

It was like using consciousness to manipulate a tool. This differed from demigods, whose powers were extensions of their own flesh and intimately connected to their source.

But just like the Little Person in the Bottle, they created bodies that prevented their true consciousness and wisdom from being contaminated by the vast, plundered divine blood.

Once the bottle shattered, however, the Mythical Artifact's consciousness truly dissipated into nothingness.

"There's no way out."

Xiao's rapidly operating consciousness and wisdom suddenly provided this answer.

This meant that Xiao as a person was gone.

And the world had gained a new artifact.

In the center of the blood sea and towering waves, Xiao stood for a long time before the sunken mythological gate.

After two hundred and fifty million years of seeking, he ended up with a fate no different from the Little Person in the Bottle.

His expression remained frozen for a long time.

He had calculated a thousand steps ahead and prepared for ten thousand possibilities. He needed just one more step to succeed.

But he had failed at this final step.

Ultimately, it was because his power and talent were insufficient, forcing him to rely on schemes and conspiracies.

And conspiracies, by their very nature, were always vulnerable to unexpected events.

"If only I had sufficient power. If only I possessed unmatched talent."

"If only I could have overwhelmed everything through sheer strength."

"Would things have..."

Xiao suddenly considered this possibility, his heart surging with intense unwillingness.

But at this point, such thoughts had lost all meaning.

Xiao halted these defeated speculations. He raised his head high to look in the direction where Asai had departed.

Although he had lost, he didn't feel he had lost to anyone.

Surrounded by the blood sea and the divine demon's siege, he let out a contemptuous sound. The corner of his mouth curved slightly upward.

Tsk!

"I was really just a step away!"

Yet his gaze still revealed a feverish longing.

It was the flame of a dream that couldn't be extinguished even after burning for two hundred and fifty million years. It was the path he had pursued his entire life.

"I truly want to become a real divine being!"

Although Blood Progenitor Vivien took a moment to react, she had fought against the Little Person in the Bottle before.

She also recognized the problem with Xiao.

Xiao had become a Mythical Artifact, another Little Person in the Bottle.

Vivien looked at Xiao.

Her expression first showed astonishment. Then she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Xiao..."

"Is this truly what you sought?"

Asai had chased the falling star to the horizon and finally caught it. At this moment, he turned his head back toward Maya City.

The shadowy Door of Truth stood tall in the sky, guiding a falling star down.

The youth, leaning on his cane, removed his hat and called out, "Xiao, what will you choose?"

"Death? Or a fate worse than death?"

Xiao would not answer, so Asai chose to answer himself.

"I bet you'll choose a fate worse than death."

He had become an artifact, forever unable to become a divine being.

For someone who had sacrificed everything, killed his teacher and former companions, sacrificed his most loyal servants, and reincarnated for two hundred and fifty million years just to pursue divinity, this was unbearable.

Except for true madmen or those with absolute rationality, anyone facing such an outcome would likely be crushed instantly by the failure.

But Asai believed Xiao wouldn't be crushed. He had never cared about the process.

It was just as Xiao had said.

I simply want what I want.

Asai withdrew his gaze. He opened the Door of Truth to welcome the falling star from the sky, then put his hat back on.

"If even a fate worse than death cannot stop you from getting what you want, then let's continue this game!"

Xiao, Asai, Vivien.

This was the generational entanglement of grievances between three generations of students from the Temple of Truth. But whether in victory or defeat, none could reclaim the past.

This was a nightmare belonging to these three individuals.

No winners.

But Vivien, on the other side, had no desire to play this never-ending game with Xiao. She was unwilling to cycle through this never-dissipating nightmare.

She only wanted to kill Xiao.

Then she wanted to wholeheartedly explore the new era and epoch belonging to the Trilobite People.

Under her control, the blood-colored divine demon attacked again.

Blood Energy gathered into light, turning the sky crimson.

The scepter cut through the sky, crashing down.

"Fall into nightmare!"

"Along with your sins, perish forever!"

Breaking the body of the Original Sin Evil God would destroy the vessel holding Xiao's consciousness.

This would bring about his true death.

Like the Little Person in the Bottle, left uttering powerless curses once its container was shattered, Xiao's existence would end.

He no longer had the traits of a demigod. He was nothing more than a consciousness trapped within an artifact.

At that moment, Xiao's final and most unwilling contingency plan came into play.

Dark power spread from beneath his feet. Blackness instantly devoured the earth, holding back the blood sea.

An entrance to a place of sin appeared beneath Maya City.

The entrance to the Abyss opened.

Boundless black mud surged forth as the Will of the Abyss manifested.

Somehow, together with the power of the mythological gate, it managed to block the blood-colored divine demon's lethal strike.

Even a Life Ability demigod like Vivien wouldn't want her source power contaminated by such filth, the curse of countless people.

The black mud abyss manifested beneath their feet.

From within the abyss, countless Abyss Monsters gazed up at the sky. Their eyes burned with flames of greed and slaughter, yet they were unable to cross over due to the boundaries of the abyss covenant.

The corrupted and polluted Radiant Temple gradually rose from the black mud.

Within the Abyss.

An Eight-Winged fallen Sky Messenger appeared, possessing half-black and half-white wings.

The fallen Sky Messenger gradually emerged from the darkness.

She knelt before the defiled temple, raising her head to pray to the "divine being" in the mortal realm.

Her eyes held emotions incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"Divine Being!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with reverence and fervor.

"I have waited for You for so long. Truly waited for so long."

"You have finally returned."

Abyss Queen Melde had come to rescue him. She extended her hand toward the gate standing in the mortal realm and toward Xiao.

"Look!" Melde exclaimed, her voice filled with fervor and conviction.

"This is Your domain. The domain I prepared for You."

Xiao stood upon the earth.

Death loomed above. The Abyss beckoned below.

No matter his choice, he was destined to lose his future.

But if he fell into the Abyss, the power and protection of the Abyss covenant meant no one could easily kill him. This was especially true since the origin of the Abyss was his own spirituality, formed by devouring countless Winged People and Snake People.

He could attain immortality within the Abyss, but this was not the future he sought.

Finally, he watched the blood-colored divine demon unleash its power once more. All the Trilobite Symbiotes swarmed forward. The blood sea raised waves dozens of yards high, determined to shatter and drown him completely.

Facing the blood color enveloping the entire world, Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha~"

"How amusing."

He had manipulated everyone like artifacts and chess pieces, placing his moves from on high.

Yet he never imagined that ultimately, he too would end up becoming an artifact.

Melde, a woman who had once almost pulled him into eternal darkness, a genuine blasphemous believer, now stood as his lifeline. She was a help he was forced to rely on.

Then Xiao sighed helplessly. He turned to stride toward the Abyss.

His expression gradually grew cold, becoming as icy as a machine.

Failure wasn't frightening.

As long as he didn't lose everything, even if only a thread of obsession remained, he would continue to pursue his goal.

For Xiao, it didn't matter if it was two hundred and fifty million years or two and a half billion years.

This was his unwavering creed.

"I am Xiao!"

"Creator God of the Abyss."

As his voice echoed through the Abyss, the mythological gate fell toward the chasm.

This time he moved actively, truly merging with it.

All Abyss Monsters could hear Xiao's oath.

"I shall bring the supreme mythological law to all Abyss Races, the Original Sin Law of the Abyss."

Xiao walked step by step toward the depths. With each step, the Abyss underwent violent transformation.

"I transcend all sin!"

"I am the beginning of all sins!"

"The source of all evil!"

"I am the Will of the Abyss!"

"God of Original Sin!"

Finally, the Will of the Abyss manifested as a mountain of flesh. It surged forth to devour Xiao and the Door of Original Sin.

Endless filth entangled Xiao as the flesh mountain and the Door of Original Sin became one.

At that moment, the power of the blood-colored divine demon struck the Abyss with immense force. Its impact transferred through countless monsters, one after another.

Vast numbers of monsters instantly disintegrated, yet the Abyss itself suffered no serious damage.

More monsters were born from the black mud. They roared furiously at Blood Progenitor Vivien outside.

Blood Progenitor Vivien watched in silence, a trace of reluctance in her eyes.

Slowly, the gates of the Abyss closed before her.
