As he spoke, the Creation God Yun Ming pressed his palms together, and the Black Sea shifted, transforming into the color of the Azure Underworld as it continued to press down.
After the transformation, the two previously clashing powers immediately ceased their conflict. A sense of harmonious resonance was born where the divine powers met, and a familiar pale pink glow emerged from Yun Ming, bringing a new brilliance to this eternal World of Nothingness.
Yun Ming felt a shift in the atmosphere that was completely different from before, and his heart skipped a beat; he seemed to understand the other's intention.
The Creation God Yun Ming said expressionlessly.
"Genesis Power is chaos, and it is also the Primordial. It is untouchable by ordinary means; only by harmonizing the dual poles of Life and Destruction can one reverse it to obtain it. Just as it was before Life and Destruction existed."
"Your foundation is too shallow, and your grasp of the power of Life is only at the entry level. There is no hope of you grasping the true meaning, so..."
Yun Ming spoke in a deep voice, finishing the sentence.
"So you are helping me comprehend the true meaning of Destruction."
As for the reason, Yun Ming had also figured it out.
The typical attribute of Destruction is a mixture of the basic attributes of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth in specific proportions, but that is merely the surface. Its essence lies in an absolute, irreconcilable will of Annihilation, provided that this will is the core. Yun Ming's divine power attributes are all-encompassing, giving him the foundation to master the true meaning of Destruction; all he lacked was the will. Therefore, the Creation God needed to force Yun Ming into a dangerous situation without his knowledge to draw out this will. Once that was done, the two of them could each control Life and Destruction, and then they could reverse the Genesis Power.
The Creation God smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then turned into starlight, exiting Yun Ming's body and returning full control of the power to him.
Yun Ming opened his eyes, looked at the newly appeared, transformed Yun Ming before him, and fell into deep thought.
Is that really the truth? If Yun Ming hadn't comprehended the true meaning of Destruction, would the Creation God have really stopped? The murderous intent the Creation God displayed earlier didn't look like an act. Moreover, judging by how Creation could twist the two powers at will, he could recreate Genesis Power himself; he had no need for his help at all! First attacking, then stopping. What exactly is his intention?
"What's wrong? Do you still have questions?"
Seeing Yun Ming staring at him, the Creation God, now dressed in new black and white blended robes, spoke up. The constantly shifting attire also reflected Yun Ming's confusion regarding his current understanding of Creation.
"No, help me open the gate."
Watching Creation's nonchalant demeanor, Yun Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Creation nodded, raised his right palm, and the Genesis Power clinging to Yun Ming gathered toward his palm. Then, he pressed his hands together, flipped them violently, and struck the empty space in front of him.
"Open!"
His palms struck the void as if hitting the surface of water, causing layers of ripples to spread out. Behind the ripples, Yun Ming once again sensed the familiar Void energy.
Seeing that the gate was open, Yun Ming did not linger. He said "Goodbye" to Creation and stepped into the gate.
Creation's response to this was simple.
"I wish you success in everything."
Throughout the entire process, neither of them mentioned the trial that didn't feel like a trial.
Yun Ming departed, the gate closed again, and the World of Nothingness was once again left to the Creation God alone. He watched the spot where Yun Ming had disappeared, silent and unmoving, wondering what he was thinking. But if Yun Ming were still there, he might have found the answer to his earlier doubts on that face, which was half-benevolent and half-evil, wearing a smile.
In the Void, Yun Ming stepped out and returned to the previous God King Battlefield. By this time, the great battle had ceased, and the aftermath was slowly dissipating.
As the ripples faded, what met Yun Ming's eyes were the Life and Destruction God Kings, hanging by a thread.
"Yun Ming? You brat, you're not dead!"
Before Yun Ming could do anything, golden divine light flashed beside him, and Poseidon's telepathic voice reached him.
Yun Ming replied.
"Yeah! Long time no see."
"Have you rebelled against the God Realm?"
Without waiting for Poseidon to press him, Yun Ming took the initiative. He didn't really want to talk about the World of Nothingness right now.
Poseidon, who had originally wanted to ask something else, understood his intent. After glancing at Yun Ming, he shifted the topic to the situation at hand.
"How could I? I'm just following orders."
Following orders? Yun Ming didn't need to use his brain to know who could command a main god who ranked in the top three in combat power below the God Kings.
This made Yun Ming feel a bit dizzy. What kind of trouble was the God Realm stirring up now? Did the two great God Kings want to unify divine power and start reclaiming their authority?
Poseidon: "Don't bother thinking about it. You won't be able to figure it out. There are too many connections involved, and it concerns the future overall situation of the God Realm."
The overall situation, fine. Aside from knowing a few famous big shots in the God Realm, Yun Ming was ignorant of other intelligence, so he didn't waste any more brainpower and asked.
"So what should be done with them now?"
Poseidon: "That depends on your wishes."
Yun Ming was confused.
"What do you mean by 'my wishes'?"
Poseidon explained.
"It means that if you want to take revenge for their provocation, kill them. If you don't, leave them to me to deal with. These were the orders given by the two God Kings before the battle started."
Yun Ming: "."
Even before the battle started, he had been used! And asking him to choose—wasn't this just making him take the fall for them? He wasn't going to choose anything!
"You do it."
"Are you sure? This might be the only chance you get in your life to kill a God King, you know?"
Poseidon tempted him.
Yun Ming glanced at him, then said no more. He turned and vanished, slipping into the void, disappearing from sight.
Seeing Yun Ming leave just like that, Poseidon dropped the unserious look on his face and said softly.
"I didn't want to fight either."
But despite those words, Poseidon ultimately raised the Sea God Trident, and the warm Sea God's Light illuminated this void once again.
On the other side, the battle between Qian Renxue and Tang San was also nearing its end.
Snap—
The blood-colored greatsword swept past, and a massive amount of Divine Blood mixed with golden specks sprayed out. Behind Qian Renxue, five of her six wings were severed, and a sword wound deep enough to reveal bone ran diagonally from her shoulder to her hip.
The red light in Qian Renxue's eyes dissipated, and a look of agony crossed her face. Forcing herself through the pain, she turned and thrust the Angel Holy Sword, but Demon Sealing Tang San reacted with equal speed, once again lifting her holy sword away with a flick of his blade while simultaneously slamming a kick into her chest.
"Boom—"
This kick was heavy, sending Qian Renxue flying from the sky to the ground, smashing a massive crater into the earth.
Tang San was also nearing his limit by now; he retreated from his berserk state and slowly descended to about five meters above the ground.
A breeze carried away the dust, revealing the scene within the crater. Tang San looked at the unfocused eyes of Qian Renxue, his lips curling to reveal a mouth full of bloody, broken teeth as he let out a wild laugh. After fighting to the very end, he had won after all! Tang San felt incredibly gratified; he had to let it out!
"Hahahaha—"
"Bibi Dong still hasn't shown up after all this time. It seems she was blasted to death by me last time, and this time it's your turn."
"But don't worry, I will soon send the entire Martial Soul Hall to join you on your way. You won't be lonely."
Sensing the remaining divine aura in the distant void, Tang San said resentfully.
"It's just a pity that bastard Yun Ming seems to be dead already. He got off too easy!"
After laughing for a while and venting his emotions, Tang San fell silent. He raised the Shura Silver Emperor Sword once more, the blade pointing directly at Qian Renxue.
"Angel God, farewell!"
As he spoke, the longsword descended, but before the Slaughter Sword Light could even leave the blade, a familiar voice echoed through the void.
"No need to feel pity, I'm still alive, and you still have a chance."
Shock!
Hearing this familiar voice, Tang San's pupils constricted violently. Before he could react, a Golden Spear pierced through the void and braced itself against the greatsword.
Looking at the figure behind the Golden Spear, Tang San instinctively retreated, distancing himself from Yun Ming. He had suffered at Yun Ming's hands too many times; he had developed a stress disorder.
Yun Ming did not stop him, just watching him with a flat expression. But after Tang San regained his composure, he felt an immense sense of humiliation and resentment. His eyes turned blood-red, as if he were about to fall back into his berserk state.
Tang San gritted his teeth, his hand gripping the sword trembling.
"Yun Ming."
Yun Ming said calmly.
"Any advice?"
Any advice? Tang San was cursing internally. Can't you see I want to hack you to pieces?!! Tang San tried his best to remain calm.
"Nothing, just very happy that you're still alive! Truly happy!!"
It was obvious; he was practically grinding his back teeth to dust. He was just so happy. Yun Ming raised an eyebrow and lifted the Atlas Divine Spear.
"Since you're so happy, let's settle everything today. It will be a relief for both of us afterward."
Tang San let out a long breath, gripped the greatsword with both hands, and assumed a combat stance.
"Fine. Since you're seeking death, then this day next year will be the anniversary of your passing."
If Tang San hadn't been shaking just now, Yun Ming might have believed him. But never mind, whatever, as long as you're happy!
Tang San let out a roar.
"Kill!"
The shout shook the mountains and rivers; it was full of vigor and was the toughest thing Tang San had said to Yun Ming all day. Seeing Tang San's momentum, Yun Ming gripped the Atlas and prepared for battle. Although the opponent was heavily injured, it would be bad if he had a sudden burst of final strength and caused an accident. Better to be serious.
"Come."
Before the word "on" could even leave his lips, Yun Ming saw Tang San transform into a sword shadow and flee rapidly in the direction of the God Realm.
"..."
The scene was a bit quiet, silent as the grave, clearly stunned into speechlessness by the "decisiveness" of the Tang God King.
While running for his life, Tang San kept observing Yun Ming, comforting himself internally. He had fought to the very end, and this was clearly not a good opportunity. He would retreat today, and wait until next time, when his wounds were healed, to settle everything.
After a moment of speechlessness, Yun Mouren turned his long spear, golden light shining on the tip, and a wheel of Dark Golden Sun slowly appeared above the earth. Tang San didn't get to decide for himself; Yun Ming hadn't agreed to this. This matter had to be finished today, he said so.
If you don't die, I won't be at ease!
Watching the blood-colored light receding into the distance, Yun Ming whispered to himself.
"Sky Support. Sun Shooting!"
The Sun Shooting Light tore through the sky, catching up to Tang San in the blink of an eye. He caught a glimpse of it in his peripheral vision and wanted to turn to dodge, but his momentum was too great; he couldn't stop in time.
"No—no—"
Watching the Spear Light draw ever closer, Tang San muttered to himself, but it was merely a mutter; the Sun Shooting Light crushed over him without mercy.
"Ah--"
Feeling the feedback of Tang San's Divine Body slowly dissolving, Yun Ming mobilized his divine power to accelerate the process, but a sudden feedback from his Divine Sense made him abandon the thought.
Tang San also relied on Yun Ming's "underestimation" to sacrifice his Divine Body as the price, allowing his divine soul to escape.
The three-inch-tall miniature Tang San continued to flee, filled with burning rage, silently vowing, He will definitely return to settle everything! But just as he cleared the range of the sun, a golden light cleaved Tang San's divine soul apart.
"How is this possible?"
Yet no matter how confused he was, the outcome was already set. Tang San's divine soul turned into specks of blood-red light, shattering beneath the awe-inspiring sun.
"You hid deep enough; even I was fooled by you."
Yun Ming turned to look at the massive crater beneath his feet and said.
"Cough, cough. That is truly my honor."
A weak female voice rang out, and Qian Renxue slowly rose.
The one who had delivered the final blow was none other than Qian Renxue. Her condition was too poor, and only in this way could she be certain of killing Tang San in the shadows. The golden light flew back, revealing its true form—it was the Angel Holy Sword that had been knocked away by Tang San earlier, its location unknown until now.
Yun Ming shook his head, imitating the Goddess of Life and the Creation God from before, converting his divine power attribute into life to heal Qian Renxue's wounds.
Before long, he stopped only after a hint of rosy color returned to her face.
"After this, go back and recuperate. This is the extent to which I can treat you."
"Thank you."
Yun Ming waved his hand to signal it was unnecessary, took a step, and left the place, returning to his clan.
Qian Renxue had wanted to say something more, but in the end, it only turned into a sigh.
Scanning the long-lost but still clean courtyard, Yun Ming formed seals with his hands, and his attire shifted. A clean Black Robe replaced his tattered battle robes, simultaneously covering the scars left behind by the battle. A silver light gate appeared, and Ya Li floated out from within.
"Lily, wake up, Lily."
Previously, in the World of Nothingness, the entire Sky Support World had been sealed, and Ya Li had fallen into a complete coma. Later, when the Creation God and Yun Ming clashed, she seemed to have heard the commotion, but she simply couldn't wake up. It was only now, after being released, that she regained consciousness.
Hearing the familiar voice by her ear, Ya Li slowly opened her eyes to see a handsome and familiar smiling face. Perhaps because she had just woken up, she was still dazed, and she muttered something cute and incoherent.
"Brother Ming, I think I had a strange dream. In the dream, you seemed to have turned into two people, and for my sake, the black-robed you even fought the white-robed you."
For her sake, huh. That was a reasonable way to put it. The two of them had indeed fought for control over the body, and the Sky Support World was the core of it all. Yun Ming teased her.
"Then you must be very charming; both versions of me love you so much. Do you know which one I am now?"
Ya Li blinked her large eyes.
"The white-robed one."
Yun Ming: "Why not the other one? I'm wearing a black robe right now."
He had specifically changed into the Black Robe so that his clothes wouldn't be stained by seeping blood.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling."
Although her vision had been blurry at the time and she couldn't tell the difference between Yun Ming and the Creation God aside from the color of their clothes, she just felt that the current Yun Ming was the same as the white-robed one.
"Very smart."
Looking at the muddled little genius in his arms, Yun Ming's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he couldn't help but lower his head to capture those delicate, crimson lips.
Although Ya Li hadn't fully grasped the situation, she responded very gently.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Ya Li had already recalled the events from before, and she said softly.
"Is it over?"
Yun Ming understood the implication behind her words.
"It's over. From now on, no one will ever disturb our lives again."
"..."
Ya Li: "I see. That's wonderful."
Yun Ming: "It is wonderful. Now that things are finished, I can finally marry you."
Ya Li: "Hm?"
Ya Li: "What did you say?!"
Yun Ming: "Marry you."
Ya Li: "Say it again, I want to hear it!"
Yun Ming: "Marry you, marry you, marry you, marry you. Have you heard enough?"
Ya Mouren was so dazzled and enchanted by these two words that she said repeatedly.
"Enough, that's enough."
After laughing, Ya Li stood up, left Yun Ming's embrace, and walked toward the courtyard.
"Let's go! We'll start preparing right now. A week should be enough; we'll get married in a week!"
Yun Ming: "?So urgent!"
Ya Li: "It is that urgent! I've already held back for several years."
Yun Ming: "Several years?"
Having let it slip by accident, Ya Li was mortified and hurried away. Watching that flustered figure ahead, Yun Ming couldn't help but smile. She really was still that silly girl! But, he liked her even more for it.
"Slow down."
With that, Yun Ming also stood up and gave chase.
The two of them headed toward the sunlight, running toward their future filled with light and beauty.--
