Chapter 423: Seeking the Will of the Light Origin
Star Dou Great Forest.
The moment the power of the Universe Origin Will descended, everyone except Raiden Ei was sealed in place.
"Husband, do you need my help?" Raiden Ei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she asked softly.
If she hadn't been certain that this power posed no danger to her husband, she would have acted long ago to stop it.
"No need, I trust the Universe Origin Will."
Kong sent a voice transmission to her, "In its eyes, the Dark Origin Will is still a major threat. So the next steps shouldn't be a problem."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Ei nodded lightly. After a brief thought, she returned to Kong's body, her tone gentle. "If you encounter any danger or anything you can't resolve, call for me. I'll always be by your side."
"Alright, thank you, my dear wife Ei."
As his words fell, a massive space between the three of them was torn open by the power of chaos. In full view of all, whether it was the Silver Dragon King, the black mist, or Kong himself, all were pulled in by a powerful force of devouring.
At the instant they vanished, the power sealing time also dissipated.
In the distance, seeing Kong disappear, Qian Renxue and the others could no longer sit still. They hurried to the place where he vanished and began searching.
Elsewhere, Di Tian and other ferocious beasts could not hold back either, flying up from the depths of the Lake of Life.
To them, the Silver Dragon King was the lifeline of the soul beast race. If anything happened to her, their race would face extinction—especially now, with the Star Dou Great Forest razed to the ground, leaving only them.
Facing Di Tian and the other beasts, Bibi Dong and Yu Yuanzhen had intended to attack and hunt them down, but Qian Renxue stopped them with a raised hand.
Suppressing her worry for Kong, she addressed the beasts ahead. "My husband and your leader have already come to an agreement. I trust you know what to do."
"Rest assured, since the Lord has agreed, we will naturally keep our word!" Di Tian replied seriously.
In keeping promises, the soul beast race was far more straightforward than humans.
With their assurance, Qian Renxue said nothing more. She gave a slight nod and turned to leave, ready to search the world for her beloved.
Now a god, she had the strength and stamina to keep searching without fear of exhausting her power—for the sky was her domain.
"What kind of place is this?"
Elsewhere, within the spatial storm, Kong looked at the long river of time before him, his head throbbing.
In such a place, how was he supposed to find the Will of the Light Origin?
Yet, just after he spoke, the power of the Universe Origin Will surged again from the deepest depths.
With this act, Gu Yuena and Kong both vanished from sight, their whereabouts unknown.
In the entire spatial storm, only the black mist and Tang San's body remained, drifting endlessly in the void.
God Realm.
At the moment those three disappeared, the God Realm was in an uproar.
To see the Universe Origin Will personally take action—none of them had seen such a thing in all their years.
"What should we do? Should we try to track them?" The Goddess of Life was the first to recover, looking at the others as she asked softly.
The God King of Thunder was indeed important, but compared to the Silver Dragon King and the Dark Origin Will, he was far less significant.
Of course, the same held true for any one of them.
"Don't bother looking."
The Evil God King shook his head and voiced his opinion. "Since the Universe Origin Will has intervened, it means this matter is already beyond our control. What we should do now is stabilize the God Realm and the lower realms, to prevent the Dark Origin Will from returning."
Here he paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the Silver Dragon King and the God King of Thunder, whether they return alive will depend entirely on their own fortune."
Hearing this, the Asura God, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Kindness all nodded slightly in agreement.
For them, the most important thing was neither the God King of Thunder nor the Silver Dragon King, nor even the Dark Origin Will, but rather the God Realm itself and all life in the universe.
For the sake of the God Realm and the entire universe, not to mention the God King of Thunder and the Silver Dragon King—even the five of them themselves could be sacrificed.
Since they had received the faith of the world's beings and the favor of the Universe Origin Will, if the universe were ever to face destruction, the God Kings would be the first to perish.
An unknown era, in an unknown place—a rift tore open in the air, and two figures fell from the sky.
"Where is this?"
Gu Yuena pushed herself up from the ground, shook her head, and steadied her mind before turning her gaze to the unfamiliar surroundings.
"No idea."
Beside her, Kong also shook his head. "It looks like we're no longer on Douluo Star."
"Then how do we get back?"
Hearing that they weren't on Douluo Star, Gu Yuena's brows furrowed as she asked, "God King of Thunder, can you still use your divine power now?"
"No."
Kong did not hide anything. "I don't know whether it's due to the rules of this world or the work of the Universe Origin Will, but I can't draw out even a trace of my divine power."
Fortunately, his dear wife Ei was unaffected; otherwise, if they truly ran into trouble they couldn't handle, both he and Gu Yuena might very well perish in this strange place.
"The Universe Origin Will?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena seemed to realize something. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she asked seriously, "You mean to say that our being here is the handiwork of the Universe Origin Will?"
As the split body of the Dragon God, she knew of its existence. That was why she was so shocked upon hearing this.
In her memory, not even the great war between the gods of the God Realm and the Dragon God had forced the Universe Origin Will to act. Why, then, had it decided to intervene this time?
After all, the current conflict, whether in scale or power, was far less than that of hundreds of thousands of years ago. She truly couldn't imagine the reason.
"That's right."
Kong nodded slightly, giving her a strange look before saying, "It told me that to completely deal with the Dark Origin Will, we must find the Light Origin Will. And if I'm not mistaken, the Light Origin Will should be in this place."
Now, the two of them came from the same world and were partners. Since that was the case, there were some things and information that had to be shared.
