The Era of Gods - Chapter 555

Chapter 555: Chapter 555 I am both the Creator and the God of Truth

“`

The feelings of joy and urgency transmitted from the distant Chaotic Void Sea made his scalp tingle, and the now-awakened frightening existence they pertained to caused him more trepidation than the still-mystifying issue of the fused Crystal Wall System’s Core. His whole body shivered.

If he could, he would have liked to hide, but he couldn’t cut off this sensation.

This was not merely a one-sided connection; if it were only Enigma sensing him, he would have definitely sought ways to hide.

For instance, by seeking help from his father-in-law, or hiding deep within the Starworld of the Main World.

He didn’t know if that would be enough to isolate himself, as the connection originated from the essence of the Soul, and was bilateral; that was all he could try.

However, whether or not he could succeed, it was difficult for him to make such a choice; after all, doing so would mean being confined to one place, unable to send Avatars to the Outland to gather resources and increase his power. It was akin to being in prison, and worse, alone without his wife.

Blindly running away couldn’t solve the problem; he had to face it bravely.

Considering that the emotions from Enigma were consistently benevolent and joyous, perhaps the situation wasn’t as bad as he imagined. He might just be scaring himself.

He couldn’t be sure whether it was good or bad, but both possibilities had a fifty percent chance; in the end, it all depended on luck.

And when it came to luck, Lin Xiao always felt his own was quite good.

When one finds a self-consoling excuse, the fear is no longer as intense. Lin Xiao calmed down his emotions and quietly awaited the complete absorption of the Moon Cloud Realm into himself.

Lin Hong, aboard the Star Realm Battleship hovering in the Void, had waited several years and witnessed the Moon Cloud Realm slowly darken, shrink inward, and collapse into a more frightening black hole under an immense gravitational force, which began to frantically absorb energy from the Void, tugging at the protective formations strewn around the Moon Xiao Crystal Wall System. Eventually, the growing gravitational force devoured the protection formations and began to swallow the berserk Chaos Energy from the Chaotic Void Sea.

This spectacular scene filled him with wonder and joy.

Long ago, when he was assigned as Lin Xiao’s guard, his loyalty was unwavering, but he was slightly disappointed at first.

This was because Lin Xiao was too weak, merely a Demigod, implying that it would be a long time before he had sufficient Powerful Divine Power to sustain them, let alone conquer additional resources from the Outland.

At that time, he had prepared himself for a long stagnation at his current level of Divinity.

But the outcome was a pleasant surprise. The young man’s strength grew rapidly, and by his second year at Lustrous University, he had accumulated enough capital to begin Divine Enthronement, an event of unprecedented scale. At least, Lin Hong had never seen such a grand scene of Divine Enthronement.

He had heard incredible tales of prodigies experiencing marvels during their ascent to Divinity, but never had he heard of a phenomenon like this, offering an entire Crystal Wall System as a sacrifice. It was unheard of.

Over the years, Lin Hong and Lin Bao had come to recognize Lin Xiao, but they have never been as shocked and excited as today.

The black hole, having expanded to a certain point, ceased its growth. Although Chaotic Energy was still being drawn into it, the gravitational force had lost its initial invasiveness and became more gentle.

Inside the black hole, immense amounts of energy and matter decomposed into their purest forms, coalescing under the guidance of an overwhelmingly powerful will.

At the same moment as he was on the brink of Divine Enthronement, Lin Xiao sensed the presence of Gaia Will. His consciousness, through the Ancient God’s Divinity of Balance, communicated with the Source Sea of the Main World at that moment, and the whole rules of the Main World unfolded before him. His understanding of his own Godhood surged forward in this flash.

At the same time, the endless World Origin Force of the Main World, through the Ancient God’s Divinity of Balance, infused into his newly born Origin, rapidly expanding both his Origin and, as it permeated through his Divine Domain, irresistibly strengthening it.

The influx was relentless, seemingly without end.

This privilege was granted to every Son of Divine Realm from the Main World, and to all beings related to the Main World upon their Divine Enthronement. At that moment, as the Soul ascends in its True Spirit form, they behold the Source Sea and the rules of the Main World.

But under normal circumstances, this would only last an instant. In that brief moment, the New God’s Divinity and mastery over their corresponding rules would dramatically improve, along with the strength and expanse of their Divine Realm, thus transcending the ordinary.

However, when Lin Xiao’s Origin will entered the Main World’s Source Sea, the stay lasted was considerably longer, far exceeding dozens or hundreds of moments.

Until…

He felt himself and his Divine Realm sated, as though overstuffed, and his transcended will withdrew from the Source Sea, returning to his True Body.

With the Origin Core of a Crystal Wall System as the Innate Divine Soul, the Innate Titan Ancient God’s Origin Core as the foundation, opened to the World Origin Force by the Main World’s Source Sea, drew in the purest energy and matter to the converging Origin Core, constructing a flawless Innate Ancient God Body.

To Lin Hong, it seemed as though the black hole which had swallowed the entire Moon Cloud Realm lost its formidable gravitational pull. Without the terrifying attraction of light, the black hole ceased to be a black hole. Lin Hong faintly sensed that towering presence within it.

As the gravity weakened to a certain threshold, it became visible to the naked eye. A colossal golden giant stood up, wrapped in an aura of dark gold, emanating immeasurable strength and tremendous fluctuations with every movement.

“I am the God of Creation and Truth!”

As the Golden Giant God announced its existence to the whole world, in the distant Main World, many True God Level Powerhouses silently turned their gaze towards a certain direction where inside the Main World’s Starworld, one of the ancient, dim stars suddenly brightened.

“Balance!”

A powerful True God watched this scene unfold, smiling.

At the same time, numerous young elites were shocked to find that a certain name had suddenly vanished from the list of prominent young geniuses. Soon after learning the name of the one who disappeared, they were all surprised and abuzz with speculation.

Students from other Colleges were not well-informed about what had happened, and those from Huiyao University were confused. Many speculated whether he had met with some misfortune and perished, for what else could explain such a sudden disappearance?

Even the school’s teachers and leaders thought so, although they knew that one must withdraw from the list of distinguished young prodigies once they reach Divine Enthronement.

But he’s just a freshman at Huiyao University. Throughout its history, no student has ever become a god in their first year—not even a handful throughout all of human history.

Moreover, ascending to godhood earlier isn’t necessarily better. Many of those students in human history who became gods too soon did so accidentally, which led to insufficient accumulation, and their accomplishments later on were not very high.

As the top elite of this class at Huiyao University, Lin Xiao had no reason not to be aware of this. Therefore, the school leaders thought that either he had met with an unforeseen demise, or he had ascended to godhood prematurely by accident.

An unforeseen demise goes without saying, but if he ascended to godhood by accident, that promising talent would be ruined.

Although it hadn’t been confirmed exactly what had happened, many people were either sighing with pity or secretly pleased.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao, oblivious to it all, was carefully experiencing the powers, duties, and strengths he now possessed after his ascension.

Before and after becoming a god were two entirely different levels, and all of Lin Xiao’s various panels changed accordingly.

Username: Lin Xiao (Citizen ID txwd542154895147)

True Name: Cyberlex Meyer Ao Ober Gaia Titan Enigma.

Divine Name: God of Truth and Creation, God of Balance, Creator.

God Level: Ancient gods 3rd Rank Weak Divine Power/New God 0th Rank Weak Divine Power.

Ancient God’s Divinity: Balance 20%.

New God’s Divinity: Supreme 6%, Truth 21.9%, Creation 28.02%, Life 17.54%, Asura Naga, Lesser Naga, Star Spirit, Red Furnace Clan.

Universal Extraordinary Divinity Abilities: Change Form, Alter Reality, Resizing, Power of Truth, Communication with All Things, The Descent of the Gods, Life and Death, Summon Creatures (Elements, Created Creatures)

Exclusive Extraordinary Divinity Abilities: Trial Techniques, Prophetic Technique (Balance), Controlling Creatures (Created Races), Creator (Asura Naga, Star Spirits, Crimson Furnace Clan, Lesser Naga)

Ancient God Extraordinary Divinity Abilities: Titan, God-sealing Art, Black Hole.

God’s Immunity: Damage from attributes, absorption of attributes, acid, cold, electric, poison, disease, disintegration, energy drain, paralysis, sleep, stunning, transmutation, imprisonment, banishment, instant death effects, mental influences, etc.

This is the attribute panel of an Ancient god, which could be considered rather splendid—it’s even more powerful than typical Weak Divine Power.

The reason for his certainty is that he had once seen the attribute panel of a True God, both during his time in the military and from online resources.

Although the specific abilities of each True God are confidential, with so many years of evolution in the Main World, information tends to leak from some True gods or is shared intentionally. One could find such information online, and Lin Xiao had seen it during high school.

Upon advancing to True God, Lin Xiao’s True Name added two terms: Titan, indicative of the Innate Ancient God Body, and Enigma, representing that grand existence; it signified a significant enhancement in his essence through this transformation.

While he has three Divine Names, they’re actually not that meaningful; they change over time based on the Divinity held. As new Divine positions are acquired or certain ones lost, the Divine Names shift accordingly.

The Divine Emblem is a Magic Cube floating above a black hole, which typically signifies the most crucial thing to a True God or the source of their power. As such, this emblem should not be changed casually, meaning it will remain the same for a long time.

The alignment needs no explanation: Lawful Neutral.

The God Level also doesn’t need much explanation. He now possesses a 3rd level Ancient god Divinity, as well as a 0th level New God Divinity—both sets of powers can be combined.

The Divinity itself is self-explanatory.

The Field stems from the extension of one’s Divinity and is directly related to it.

As for Divinity…

After devouring a Crystal Wall System and ascending as an Ancient god, he had as anticipated broken through to the 9th rank.

Such a rank of Divinity is not usually achieved even by those with Medium Divine Power, and it would be sufficient to support his advancement to a Powerful Divine Power without any pressure.

Well, that’s strictly speaking about Divinity. The ascension of a deity relies on more than just Divinity.
