Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 649 - 509: The New Age of Imprisoned Despair — The Apocalypse Approaches
Ninth Tier Great Perfection, breakthrough achieved.
Now, everyone has already guessed the rigid condition within: Chaos.
And this thread of Law is not drawn from external comprehension, but is mixed through one’s own Divine Vortex during rotations, using the Chaos formula...
The 10,000th thread of Law.
"Then, if there is Chaos within the Divine Vortex, how did he not get killed by it?"
A question instantly arose in everyone’s hearts.
Even gods avoid contact with Chaos, even the God of Magic, Bal, dares not touch Chaos lightly.
How did this mere mortal manage it?
While everyone hesitated, the God of Chaos, Bal, had a sharp gaze and discerned the key.
"It’s centrifugal force."
"The Divine Vortex spins outward, creating a centrifugal force, revolving around Chaos, drawing in ’Chaos’..."
"And the centrifugal force can drive away the material surrounding Chaos to the maximum extent, forming a vacuum environment in the vortex center... preventing Chaos from expanding!"
The God of Magic, Bal, immediately realized that this was equivalent to building a spinning eddy, imprisoning Chaos within.
Through rotational isolation, a relatively stable structure could be formed with Chaos instead.
"Very ingenious."
Bal clapped and laughed, "Thinking about it now, the rigid condition for our cosmos to break through this realm truly brings despair."
"If it weren’t for the descent of us gods, ordinary mortals wouldn’t know the formula for Chaos, how could they break through this realm?"
The condition is too harsh.
Having the formula is one thing, but who would have thought of this, needing to intake Chaos?
Even if they thought of it, who would dare to do it?
But unexpectedly, the gods’ support for a bold yet meticulous mortal led to his crazy success!
A miracle indeed.
Xibo watched this scene, revealing a smile,
"His Divine Vortex is very terrifying... this is already a new universal Divine Object, making me feel frightened, it can pose a deadly threat to us!"
"Is there no threat? He has already mastered Chaos!"
Magaras of another faction said indifferently: "Moreover, from the aura, Emperor Chang is already an existence on par with us."
The Ascension to Divinity path for mortals has fully emerged.
"And, we dare not kill him."
Ying Qing chuckled, "If we kill him, who will manage the Chaos within him? After his death, the Chaos will devour his body, continually expanding, bringing the apocalypse even closer."
"Don’t kill him, does that mean he won’t die?" Xu Changsheng quietly watched that familiar realm’s emperor of the era,
"He will age and die... even if he uses the peripheral rotation of the centrifugal force to isolate Chaos, it only delays the speed of Chaos killing him..."
"He has a lifespan, he will age and die, and the Chaos within him will eventually devour him and kill him."
The gods’ expressions tightened as they constantly discussed this historically significant new realm.
Everyone had already realized a terrifying point.
After reaching the Ninth Tier Great Perfection, with each death, the apocalypse draws nearer!
These individuals are the pests of the cosmos!
Thinking of this, Xibo frowned slightly, feeling deep fear, with a solemn expression, "Everyone, if we let this realm’s strong increase, the apocalypse is near."
"Can we block the train of this era?"
Next to him, Magaras, his old rival, with hands behind his back, said without hesitation, "Can we save the situation by killing Emperor Chang?"
Although they had great enmity, internal sparring within the gods’ faction was a matter of their own.
Now, they decisively united against external threats.
"We can’t kill him!"
Xibo looked at the guy sitting cross-legged, familiar with the realm, "Previously, mortals were weakened, their destruction could no longer stop the gods, for instance, the God of Merchants, stripped of destruction, they allowed themselves to be slaughtered."
"But now, mortals have been strengthened, they hold the ultimate destruction, Chaos... they have regained the power to slay gods."
Moreover, if they truly paid a huge price and defeated Emperor Chang, killing him would also cause the Chaos within him to lose control and contaminate the cosmos!
In the end, the entire cosmos has now seen this spectacle, and the breakthrough method has already been leaked....
After an Emperor Chang dies, a second one will appear.
Thinking of this, the gods’ expressions had already turned ice-cold, and they said in a deep voice:
"It seems this experiment has already escaped our gods’ control."
"Truly raising a tiger to one’s detriment."
"Only by killing the present Emperor Chang and exterminating all beings of the cosmos can we seal this breakthrough method."
Xibo was already considering whether to kill everyone in the cosmos for a thorough purge.
"Blocking is worse than letting it vent."
Next to him, Ying Qing said calmly, rejecting the proposal of a mass extinction, "The vast torrent of era, the breakthrough in realm, is the upward spiral of historical trends."
"We can stop it for a moment, but not for a lifetime."
"Furthermore, even if we really stopped it, did we gods personally block the road, do we not advance our realms in the future?"
"Can you resist breaking through? Cutting off your own future path and drawing a prison for yourself?"
Ying Qing’s words were like a great bell, echoing in the hearts of the gods.
They all had long-term vision and immediately rejected the idea of self-mutilation in practice.
Magaras nodded, "There’s no need to stop the transmission of realms; those who can take this step, integrate with Chaos, won’t be many in an era."
"Moreover, after the Ninth Tier Great Perfection, if there is a Tenth Layer, breaking through the Tenth Layer might just be the means to eliminate Chaos?"
"Perhaps to eradicate Chaos, we need to delve into Chaos!"
"Worth a try!"
"You’re crazy, if you’re wrong, the cosmos will be destroyed."
"Then suggest a better idea."
The gods kept discussing, analyzing the future landscape.
Each deity revealed a grave expression, having already seen how terrifying the future era could be!
Even the gods cannot stop the destruction of the era!
These mortals continue to break through, ultimately becoming doomsday pests one by one!
They’re like chaotic clocks, once exploded, accelerating the countdown to the cosmos’ destruction.
"It’s truly imprisonment."
Finally, Xu Changsheng lamented, "Imprisoning Chaos, isn’t that making Chaos imprisoned? Indeed, cultivating realms is a never-ending process of imprisonment."
The joke was cold, and no one could laugh.
Chaos, imprisonment.
At this moment.
The entire three thousand mortal worlds erupted in cheers.
"Welcome, God of Mortals, Emperor Chang!"
"He has ascended to divinity, ascended to divinity, with a Chaos embedded within him, this is already a miracle of the cosmos!"
At this moment, all races were astonished, countless witnesses to this scene were struck with awe.
This legendary hero, blessed by the gods, did not die suddenly. He successfully crossed several life-and-death thresholds of the Ninth Tier in one breath, and remarkably succeeded!
Countless people wept with joy, as if they saw the road to the future.
"Thank the gods for their blessings!"
Emperor Chang laughed out loud, his expression shifting as he looked at the celestial gods in the sky.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Xibo suddenly said, "What? Emperor Chang, do you intend to strike against the celestial gods?"
"I dare not!"
Emperor Chang hesitated several times but eventually stopped, cupped his fists, and said, "I will open a glorious new era, return to guide the mortals of the world, become familiar with the power within me, and take my leave!"
With that, he directly transformed the cosmos of Dao, beneath his feet—an embodiment of 100% material—into his Dao Field.
He reached out and seized it.
Boom, boom, boom!
Various Laws flowed.
Wind, fire, thunder, lightning... surprisingly reshaped this cosmos.
He opened his palm, and there was a transmission flowing within, his whole being became a weakened version of the God of Transmission.
With just a few maneuvers, he made the neighboring gods even more apprehensive.
This guy... in his own cosmos of Dao, he is immensely omnipotent, akin to another God!
"In my Chang Country, this place shall be the Dao Field!"
"This land, a Mortal Country, I shall be the god among them!"
"I have broken into a new realm, embraced Chaos within, this realm differs from the others!"
"Chaos spirals, myriad paths begin to be born."
"I wish to name this realm: Chaos Realm."
As his words fell, divine light rained down, spreading across this cosmos, revealing boundless beauty within it.
...
After today, there was a great commotion in all the heavens.
Everyone was spreading the news of a mortal ascending to divinity.
Chaos Realm, the mere utterance of this name evokes a sense of extraordinariness.
"Have you heard? The gods have already recognized Emperor Chang’s status! They consider him a true god! Within him, it is already considered a true Divine Object!"
"A mortal ascending to divinity, this is the common shortcut to godhood even without a Divine Object!"
"Now, the difference between him and the gods is, he will age and die..."
"Yes, born of Chaos, undone by Chaos... Chaos makes him incomparably powerful, yet also gives him mortality."
"I can’t imagine how crazy Emperor Chang will be in his twilight years!"
"Indeed... in his twilight years, an indescribable divine catastrophe might occur!"
Messages continued to be circulated.
Many perceptive individuals analyzed that Emperor Chang’s twilight years will surely see him personally take action, seeking a glimmer of hope.
Among the ancient gods, there was once a period of history, a Prophecy of the Gods’ Twilight, where the Celestial Divine King would descend and slaughter the gods!
Now as one can see.
The one who might slaughter the gods, could very well be Emperor Chang, this mortal.
The crowd continually discussed, but a brand new golden era, following Emperor Chang’s breakthrough, was grandly initiated.
Immortal Path 1100 years.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.
The gods seem somewhat fearful of this mortal, avoiding confrontation.
Emperor Chang also deliberately avoided mortals, continually familiarizing himself with his power and pushing the progress of the era.
He reached an extremely high realm, having reached the end of the Ninth Tier!
Now, he personally perfected the path of the Ninth Tier, and for a moment, the world’s system unexpectedly matured a bit further!
He has become the legendary pioneer of this era, opening a new Ninth Tier path for this era, and perfecting various systems.
He has already become the universally recognized leader in the mortal world.
To countless young mortal geniuses, he is an unassailable towering mountain!
Indeed, over the years, many also attempted to break through to the Ninth Tier’s Tenth Layer.
But without the gods’ blessing, relying on their own to condense the Divine Vortex, before even reaching the step of condensing Chaos, they perished and vanished without a trace!
After Emperor Chang blazed the trail, not a single person has stepped into Emperor Chang’s realm since!
...
"A remarkable Emperor Chang indeed."
Liu Jun, dressed in white as God, stood by the side of the Goddess of Destiny, a slight curve gracing his lips.
Unlike the gods’ prolonged lifespans.
Mortals of each era rise and fall like meteors.
From the distant Divine Era’s Lionheart King and others, their names are nearly forgotten.
To the recent First Crystal Emperor, Second Crystal Emperor, and the Third Crystal Emperor who ascended to the Immortal Realm...
These mortals have all shone brilliantly, ruled over an era, but the gods paid them no mind.
Until today.
This generation of mortals emerged unexpectedly, and took an unbelievable step.
Beside him, the Goddess of Destiny expressed deep concern, "He seems to harbor immense ambition, aiming to break through the Ninth Tier... attempting to glimpse beyond this Tenth Layer!"
"His momentum is unstoppable, fearing a new mortal god-slaying era is about to commence."
Whether the Tenth Layer exists or not.
Fortuna believes he has already created enough miracles, a person walking the path that would require countless eras of geniuses to traverse.
Beyond this, it’s likely already impossible.
"Who knows?"
God smiled lightly, "In any case, at least he has hope now. If he truly reaches his twilight years and cannot break through, having lost hope, going mad would be the worst."
