"I know who the two of them are." Rong Nianbing said after a long silence.
"The 'Sages' of the civilization on this continent fifty thousand years ago. The two guys who once created the Godly Men, Main Gods, and True Gods on the Continent of Gods.
The God of Life and God of Death on this continent were created by the Father of Evolution, while the three gods of Order, Time, and Destruction were created by the Father of Technology.
They created Second-Class Gods with their bare hands. As for the god seat of the Emotion God, the Father of Evolution completed more than half of it from scratch.
To think that things from fifty thousand years ago have been preserved so well, even the conversations from that time are clearly audible." Rong Nianbing was filled with emotion, his eyes fixed on the slowly rotating black and white area. At this moment, this area had lost all its special aura as the images finished playing.
It then collapsed, and a circular platform rose from below.
On it was placed a crystal box, which emitted a faint light.
"This crystal box... seems to be a key of sealing. An 18th-tier sealing magic, only a First-Class God from the Douluo world could open it... used to protect something extremely precious or dangerous." Rong Nianbing murmured to himself, his fingers gently touching the smooth surface. A strange energy fluctuation traveled through his fingertips, making his heart shudder.
"Damn it..."
A continuous suction force came from it, madly absorbing his Emotion divine power. His complexion visibly paled.
Just then, the crystal box suddenly emitted a soft buzzing sound. Immediately after, the lid slowly opened, and a brilliant light shot out from within, illuminating the entire space.
When the light subsided slightly, the two looked closely.
Inside the box, three God Crystals were quietly floating in the air, identical to the crystals that had appeared in the images just now.
With a thought from Lin Feng, the three God Crystals floated before his eyes. Lin Feng examined them carefully.
Rong Nianbing shook off the box that had absorbed most of his divine power and let out a breath. "Wait, Brother Lin, why do I feel like I'm just a tool? In the end, all the benefits seem to go to you."
"Get rid of the 'seem'." Lin Feng said calmly.
The corner of Rong Nianbing's mouth twitched violently. He knew it. Lin Feng had only brought him along for his Emotion divine power!
The three God Crystals slowly rotated in front of Lin Feng, each emitting a light of a different color, containing an indescribably powerful energy.
Lin Feng's gaze was profound, directly penetrating the God Crystals and seeing the mysteries hidden within.
"Space," Lin Feng softly uttered the first word. "This God Crystal contains the power of space, so pure. If I use this as a source, I could really create an existence of at least a Second-Class God out of thin air."
Hearing this, Rong Nianbing couldn't help but lean a little closer. Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, his interest in such a strange object had not diminished in the slightest. "What about the other one?"
Lin Feng's finger gently pointed to the second God Crystal. The crystal emitted a warm golden glow, as gentle and full of life as the rising sun. "This is the power of life. It can bestow vitality upon all things, and may even be able to reverse life and death. It is the ultimate expression of healing and creation.
Unfortunately, a part of this God Crystal has been artificially cut off, and the power of the laws it contains is much less."
"Emmm..." Rong Nianbing pondered. He felt that this God Crystal might have been the one used to create Kao back then.
"Then the last one..."
Lin Feng's gaze finally fell on the third God Crystal. The color of this crystal was as deep as the night sky, with faint stars twinkling within, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. "This is the power of time. It is very profound and also very dangerous.
Mastering it may allow one to glimpse the past and future, and even change the flow of time. But unfortunately, this God Crystal has also been used, and a part of its law is incomplete.
With these two, Life and Time, at most, one can only create a god at the level of a Third-Class God.
To directly embed a Great Dao law into the human body to ascend to godhood... I have to admire these two geniuses from fifty thousand years ago. This civilization is very interesting."
"Can you let me see that Life God Crystal?"
Lin Feng nodded and tossed it to him.
Rong Nianbing caught the Life God Crystal and felt a warm and vigorous power flow into his body from his palm, as if countless tiny lives were singing joyfully, which refreshed his mind.
He carefully examined the crystal in his hand. The familiar fluctuations coming from it made him even more certain that this was the God Crystal used to create his wife, the former God of Life of this continent, Kao.
"These God Crystals are very special," Lin Feng said as he examined the Space God Crystal in his hand.
"They are not simple energy crystals, but fragments containing the laws of the Great Dao. Rather than believing they were created by these so-called Father of Technology and Father of Evolution, I think it's more likely that they were condensed from the origin of the universe. The Great Dao laws within can even be compared to the level of a God-King. In simple terms, this one God Crystal contains a God-King's deep understanding and essence of their own law. It is a microcosm of a Great Dao."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng looked at Rong Nianbing. "Do you know what kind of existence can be called a God-King?"
Rong Nianbing was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while before slowly speaking, "A God-King... that should be an existence at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, with an unparalleled understanding and mastery of a Great Dao law, capable of influencing the order and balance of an entire lower plane with their own power.
Each God-King represents the ultimate of a Great Dao."
Lin Feng nodded. "Correct, but not the absolute ultimate. Only an existence that surpasses the God-King, like the Dragon God, is the ultimate of a Great Dao. This is also one of the reasons for the uniqueness of the Dragon God's seat in the Douluo Divine Realm.
These God Crystals, although only fragments, are also terrifying.
Just this Life God Crystal alone, the purity of the life law power within it is comparable to Qing Xuan's.
As the Goddess of Life, the life law she masters is naturally extremely pure. But the life power in this God Crystal is only a sliver weaker."
Hearing this, a trace of amazement flashed in Rong Nianbing's eyes. Since even Lin Feng had said so, it was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of these God Crystals.
He was about to ask more questions, but Lin Feng interrupted him. "A Second-Class God has arrived from the universe. This guy is quite weak. From the time I first sensed him until he arrived here, it took him so long."
"What?" Rong Nianbing was stunned. The next moment, his expression also changed. "Such a familiar divine power fluctuation. This is..."
The two of them tacitly hid their auras and quietly watched as a figure appeared in the ruins.
The figure slowly emerged, wearing a slightly worn silver divine armor. A faint light flowed on the armor, but there was a trace of dimness in the light. It was clear that this divine armor had been through many battles and had not fully recovered its former glory.
The newcomer's face was slightly tired, but his eyes shone with determination and persistence. His features were delicate and handsome. Judging from his appearance alone, many people would believe he was a woman.
He looked around, and finally, his gaze fell on the secret chamber where Lin Feng and the others were. He slowly spoke, his voice surprisingly male.
"So it's here..."
The God of Time's gaze shifted slightly. He slowly walked into the secret chamber. Lin Feng and Rong Nianbing were right beside him, but he seemed to turn a blind eye, casually glancing at the layout of the secret chamber, and then walked towards the S-shaped area.
"This... how could this be? I clearly sensed it. Where are the things left by those two damned old guys..."
The God of Time stared blankly at the empty S-shaped area in front of him. The black and white light there had completely dissipated, leaving only an empty circular platform. The crystal box was also long gone.
A hand rested on the God of Time's shoulder at this moment, and another hand held the Time God Crystal in front of him. Lin Feng spoke in a low voice, "Are you... looking for this?"
"What!"
The God of Time's eyes widened, the fear in his heart magnified countless times at this moment. He wanted to turn around but found that he couldn't do anything.
His divine power was out of his control, and every nerve in his body seemed to be frozen. He could only stare at the Time God Crystal in Lin Feng's hand, his eyes full of shock and despair.
Fine beads of cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead. The God of Time's voice trembled as he managed to squeeze out a few words, "Who... are you?"
"Heh."
Lin Feng turned him around, allowing him to see his and Rong Nianbing's faces. The God of Time stared blankly at the two. When he saw Rong Nianbing, surprise and regret flashed in his eyes.
And when he saw Lin Feng, his whole person was about to kneel down, his face full of disbelief.
"No, impossible. My power of time did not foresee your existence. I did not sense any danger..."
Lin Feng snorted coldly. "An existence at the level of a Second-Class God at most. What do you think your law of time is in front of me? Nothing but a plaything."
The God of Time's face turned even paler. He trembled his lips, seeming to want to say something, but found that he couldn't even speak properly.
A trace of disdain flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He waved his hand gently, and an invisible force lifted the God of Time, keeping him in a standing position.
Rong Nianbing's gaze was somewhat complicated. "Time, I never thought you would come back here. I remember you once said that you would never return to these three continents, that you would wander the universe, searching for your Yiping.
From the time we opened this secret chamber, only two and a half cups of tea's worth of time have passed. It seems you haven't gone very far from here. You've been plotting all along.
It seems it was a mistake for me to let you go back then."
The God of Time stammered, "No, I just..."
"Have you forgotten that I am the Emotion God? You are afraid, you are confused, and you are also ashamed and angry. You have never given up on returning to this continent."
"No, I..."
Lin Feng shook his head. Seeing that Rong Nianbing was about to say more, he spoke up, "Why waste so much breath on him? Five Spirits Domain-Suppressing Palm!"
"Boom—" A huge palm phantom suddenly descended from the sky, carrying a majestic pressure, and slammed straight down on the God of Time. The God of Time's eyes widened in horror. He wanted to dodge, but found that his body was firmly bound by an invisible force, unable to move at all.
"No!" The God of Time let out a desperate cry, but the palm phantom did not pause in the slightest and slammed hard on his body.
In an instant, a powerful force erupted, completely engulfing the God of Time's entire body.
Without a shred of resistance, the God of Time was as insignificant as an ant in front of this power. After the huge palm phantom dissipated, the God of Time's figure also vanished, leaving only an empty space and a faint fluctuation of divine power, proving that he had once existed.
Lin Feng made a grabbing motion at the empty space in front of him. A wisp of silver light emerged from where the God of Time had perished and was absorbed by him into the Time God Crystal.
Rong Nianbing looked at the place where the God of Time had disappeared, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He had let the God of Time go once, but he never expected that the other party had been harboring ill intentions all along. How unpredictable the world is.
"Brother Lin is really... decisive in killing."
"It's fine. Who was it that had a fleeting moment of killing intent just now? I was very scared. He scared me, so it's better to make him disappear."
The corner of Rong Nianbing's mouth twitched.
Lin Feng put away the three God Crystals and looked at the circular platform in this secret chamber, carefully examining the traces left on it. He reached out and touched it gently, feeling the power fluctuations from ancient times, and an inexplicable impulse rose in his heart.
"As expected, that chaotic aura is still here."
Lin Feng's gaze moved. The next moment, he directly and violently destroyed the platform. The platform instantly shattered under Lin Feng's power, turning into countless fine stone fragments that scattered and flew. Rong Nianbing was taken aback by this sudden action. He stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes, his face full of confusion.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing..."
Lin Feng did not answer. His gaze was fixed on the deep space revealed beneath the platform, where a faint light was flickering. With a flash of his figure, he leaped directly into that deep space.
Seeing this, Rong Nianbing also quickly followed.
After entering the deep space, the two found that it was actually a huge underground chamber, surrounded by complex runes and formations. In the center, there was a huge altar, and on the altar was a book page emitting a brilliant light.
"The chaotic origin... the thing I sensed actually came from this page?"
Lin Feng gazed at the radiant book page and slowly approached the altar.
"Could this book page be the ultimate secret treasure left by that civilization fifty thousand years ago?" Rong Nianbing asked.
Lin Feng reached out to touch the book page, but stopped just before he was about to touch it. He looked around the altar and snorted coldly. "A crude formation, and you think you can stop me? Shatter!"
With a cold snort from Lin Feng, he raised his hand and waved. A powerful force instantly surged out, striking the runic formation on the altar. The originally flickering runes shattered under the impact of Lin Feng's power, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.
Once the formation was broken, the book page seemed to have lost its restraints and trembled gently. Lin Feng reached out again and took the book page into his hand without any hindrance.
"The material is very special. It's stained with the chaotic energy of the universe, but it was just for recording some things..."
Lin Feng looked at the content on the book page, and his expression changed slightly. "Interesting."
Seeing this, Rong Nianbing couldn't help but lean a little closer and asked curiously, "Brother Lin, what's written on it?"
"See for yourself. Where did those fragments of the Great Dao laws come from? The answer is on here."
Rong Nianbing's expression became slightly serious. He looked at the book page. The text on it was very similar to the text on the stone pillars outside. Some of the characters were even more complex, and he couldn't recognize them either.
"The Heavenly Star descended, bringing with it the laws of the Great Dao.
The laws of the entire plane underwent a drastic change. Technology and myth clashed, and various mythical things descended into reality.
The power of the gods surpassed all existing cognition. In their constant struggle, the two Sages discovered a shocking fact.
The so-called Great Dao laws were merely fragments, fragments that had fallen from a true god!
Relying on the power of the God Crystals, they smelted the Heavenly Star, and finally, a piece of information appeared in their minds out of thin air—
—This universe has a Creator God."
