1336 The Unsolved Riddle (1/2)
The Four Heavenly Kings were baffled listening to the God Lord. They felt like their souls were baptized unknowingly by a fiery flood.
”Master, you meant… the star area where we've ruled for ten thousand years and the universe we live are only things from someone's Incipient Extent? Like our Incipient Extent?” Carefree looked perplexed and absent-minded. He had lived for ten thousand years but now, he was suddenly downcast.
Carefree, Divine Martial, and Light looked dumbstruck.
The Four Heavenly Kings were at the same position with the Cortege of Eight. In this vast sea of stars, each of them was a miracle and an undying legend. Their existences could be considered eternal.
However, at this moment, all of them were too shocked they had even felt hurt.
”Yeah, like that,” the God Lord sounded indifferent. ”I've been thinking about Bloodthirsty's last words for many years. I think I got it now. Bloodthirsty deserved our respect when he just surpassed the Immortal Realm. If he had had more time and chances, he could have broken this Incipient Extent to get rid of the prison. Then, he could have flown freely to the world out there.”
Pausing for a while, the God Lord said, ”He was killed in the end but we didn't destroy him. The real owner of this universe had used our hands to kill him!”
The four Heavenly Kings still looked baffled.
The God Lord sighed and nodded to them. ”Without the experience on Desolate ten thousand years ago, if I hadn't had the Genesis Fruit, how could our clan have risen? How could I have led the experts to kill him?”
Listening to him, the four Heavenly Kings were shaken. They screamed, ”You mean, Desolate is…”
”It's the thing that owns this universe. Although it got hurt and divided, Desolate is the brain. It created this universe. Our God Clan and the other three big clans were created by the four wisps of its soul. Inside Desolate is the fountainhead of power Upanishads. All of our power Upanishads come from there. Desolate is the principle and the truth of this cosmos. Just like the way we control our Incipient Extent, it can rule all creatures in this universe! It can rule over us! However, its body was divided into five parts, leaving it in such a wounded condition and puzzle consciousness. Otherwise, Bloodthirsty couldn't have existed. It wouldn't have used our hands to fulfill its wish…”
Pausing for a while, God Lord continued, ”Lives and souls born in this universe have its seal when they are born. It's what makes us pathetic. We will be bound to this place. It can control us because those are the rules. Just like we can wreak havoc in our Incipient Extent, it can destroy the world with a flicker of its mind.
”Bloodthirsty's dramatic fate occurred because he was born in this cosmos, so he got its mark on his soul too. If not, with Bloodthirsty's power, it would have been enough for him to break out of this prison to fly in the real vast universe!” sighed God Lord.
”Bloodthirsty's Devouring power Upanishad and the other eight power Upanishad had never existed here before him. Where did he get them?” Easygoing was skeptical.
”Desolate is a creature from the Absolute Beginning Era, but it isn't the only one here. The Bloodthirsty Force's holy land, the dark abyss, is also a creature from the Absolute Beginning Era. That creature has the form of the cosmic black hole. It can devour everything. Have you ever seen the dark abyss swallow the life stars?” said the God Lord.
The Four Heavenly Kings were puzzled. Light asked, ”Didn't Bloodthirsty use his Devouring power Upanishad to do that?”
”That dark abyss is an Absolute Beginning creature. Bloodthirsty got his Devouring power Upanishad and the eight power Upanishads from that creature. However, Bloodthirsty was created by the blood of the God Clan, Immortal Demon Clan, Heavenly Monster Tribe, and Imperial Dark Tribe. Bloodthirsty should be the first creature that Desolate had ever produced, I think. Anyway, no one knows why the dark abyss gave him the power Upanishads. These things remain as an unsolved riddle. I have spent ten thousand years to think, but I haven't gotten anything yet,” God Lord shook his head.
”So why did you summon us, Master?” asked Carefree.
”Besides Desolate and the dark abyss we've known, another Absolute Beginning creature has been awakened. This creature has resided scatteringly inside the space basin. When I broke through to Third Sky of Immortal Realm, I'd encountered it there. I didn't know what it was at that time, though. When Bloodthirsty told me his last words, I finally understood it after so many years,” said God Lord.
”There's another creature from the Absolute Beginning Era?” the four Heavenly Kings were frightened.
”That thing stays in many different corners of the chaotic space basin. It used to be wounded seriously. That's why it has been sleeping for billions of years. Gradually, after a long time of accumulating energy, it has woken up. In fact, it needed a couple hundred million years to wake up completely. Perhaps this cosmos will be gone and we won't exist anymore. However, someone has provoked it and woken it up.”
God Lord's eyes flashed. ”Our old friends are there. They're about to receive its wrath. What we need to do now is to wait patiently for a chance. I've been recovering my power for a long time, but I have just reached Second Sky of Immortal Realm. If we can kill that thing and absorb its soul, I can recover my full energy and I can even break the Immortal Realm. At that time, I will have the power to break this prison and Desolate's rule! It will make me a creature from the Absolute Beginning Era too. Even if Desolate recovers fully, I think I can resist it!”
The Four Heavenly Kings were excited. The God blood in their body seemed to boil, their fighting will rising unceasingly.

Almost at the same time in the spacious subterranean palace on the Tsunami Star, the four Immortal Realm experts including Tian Xie, the President of Tsunami Chamber of Commerce, Caesar, Ling Xiang, and Lorraine were discussing some crucial matters. They were talking about their great scheme to make the Bloodthirsty Force and the God Clan risk their lives together, giving them the opportunity to become the new overlords of this cosmos.
While discussing, Tian Xie suddenly turned abnormal. A strange light shot out of his eyes together with so many symbols moving inside his pupils.
Beams of bright divine light radiated from Tian Xie's body like rainbows twirling around him. It was extremely magnificent.
Tian Xie was talking, but he then stopped with a puzzled face as if he didn't hear what Caesar, Ling Xiang, and Lorraine were discussing.
”Tian Xie! Tian Xie!” The other three couldn't help but call him to wake him up and continue their meeting.
Tian Xie was still indifferent.
