Chapter 30 Endless Comprehension, There's Simply No End to It (Please Subscribe)_2
Thus, harboring such thoughts, the God of Divination became the first Prime God to completely perish.
"Time Main God Form?"
Lin Yuan carefully examined the bright white crystal in his hand.
During the recent confrontation with the Prime God, Lin Yuan had been especially cautious; as soon as the Prime God's Divine Body utterly dissipated, Lin Yuan immediately acted to protect the fallen True God Form.
"It's cracked in parts."
Lin Yuan observed for a while and noticed the rifts on the Divine Lattice.
It was precisely these cracks that had resulted in the God of Divination's significant loss of strength. Facing Lin Yuan's strike, combined with the Supreme God of Light's action to block the Spatial Layers, the God of Divination could only withstand the initial waves of obliteration before completely perishing.
"Those fissures must have been caused by the backlash from the Door to the Myriad Realms," Lin Yuan thought to himself, noticing that the cracks had appeared some time ago.
"The impact should be minimal."
Lin Yuan gazed at the Time Main God Form, and through this 'key,' Lin Yuan glimpsed the vast and mysterious essence of the Rule of Time in this world.
"I'll ponder it later."
Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and solemnly placed the Time Main God Form into his Inner World.
In the meantime, Lin Yuan glanced at the nearby hillock.
It was composed of True Divine Lattices, and essentially all the existing True Gods from the Ocean of Light over billions of years were there.
To be precise, all Divine Lattices were there.
"A myriad of rules..." Lin Yuan's gaze heated slightly as he looked at the hillock-shaped Divine Lattices, with numerous insights beginning to flood his mind.
"Hold back, hold back."
Lin Yuan's consciousness exited the Inner World.
"The last eight Prime Gods?" Lin Yuan looked towards the other Spatial Layers.
Earlier, as soon as he acted, Lin Yuan had marked all of the Prime Gods, ensuring that no matter where they fled, they could not escape his perception.
In fact, there was no need for marks; merely by locking onto them with the Law of Cause and Effect, he could determine the locations of those Prime Gods.
Lin Yuan took direct action against the Prime Gods, creating the most intense causal effect, which, to those adept in the Law of Cause and Effect, was undoubtedly a guiding light.
"Let them run for now; I will first deal with those True Gods from the Dark Abyss."
Lin Yuan casually tore through the Spatial Layers and stepped into the Spatial Layer where the Dark Abyss was located.
This world was only so big; even if those eight Prime Gods fled, they could not possibly leave this World.
Prime Gods held the authority of heaven and earth and could not leave it; once they did, the True God Form within them would disintegrate.
And somewhere in this world, a new True God Form would recongeal.
That is why, throughout history, the number of Prime Gods in this World has always remained at twenty-four, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Even if there were occasional historical instances of Prime Gods mysteriously vanishing, their True God Forms would reemerge within this World.
That was also why Lin Yuan let the eight Prime Gods escape.
One, intercepting them was troublesome and might not be achievable; if too much force was used, there was a risk of damaging the True God Forms.
Two, the True God Forms he most desired would not leave this World.
...
In the deeper layers of space of the Spatial Layers.
The Dark God was fleeing in terror and unease.
"I should never have meddled in this turmoil. What chances related to the Supreme God—all nonsense!" the Dark God's mind was still trembling with fear.
The experience within the Ocean of Light had utterly terrified him. The Divine Body he thought indestructible showed such frailty before the Longshan Patriarch?
The Dark God felt that if the Supreme God of Light had activated the blockade of the Spatial Layers just a few dozen breaths slower, he might have ended up permanently in the Ocean of Light, just like those other True Gods.
"Terrifying, utterly terrifying."
The Dark God's scalp tingled, "But now I'm hiding in such a deep layer of the Spatial Layers, and I'm continuously on the move. That Longshan Patriarch, finding me won't be easy."
"What?"
"The True Gods of the Dark Abyss are being slaughtered by the Longshan Patriarch and are calling for my help?" The Dark God felt something and was slightly moved.
As the second-born Prime God of this World, the Dark God had established the Dark Abyss and was deeply connected to it, responsive to the calls of the many True Gods within it.
But at this moment—
"I can barely save myself, how could I care for you?" the Dark God silently thought, "You can call to me, but who can I call upon?"
The Dark God felt helpless.
Since proclaiming himself a Prime God, he had never experienced such a dire escape as he did now, not even in the long-lasting battles with his archenemy, the Supreme God of Light, had he felt such despair.
A moment later.
Lin Yuan left the Dark Abyss.
"It's your turn now."
Lin Yuan gazed into a certain Spatial Layer, where a Prime God from the Ocean of Light was fleeing.
"Rainbow Dragon God?"
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared once again, pursuing his quarry.
...
Deep within the Spatial Layers.
A Rainbow Divine Dragon, millions of feet in length, was frantically escaping.
With each movement of its dragon body, it traversed a vast number of Spatial Layers.
Just then.
The Spatial Layer where the million-feet-long Rainbow Divine Dragon was, got claimed in an instant, and a figure appeared in front of the Rainbow Dragon God, it was Lin Yuan.
"Longshan Patriarch."
The Rainbow Dragon God, somewhat desperate, said, "How can you be so fast?"
As the Prime God of the Rainbow Dragon Clan, the Rainbow Dragon God was adept at manipulating Space Rules, but he hadn't expected Lin Yuan to catch up in such a short time.
"Do you have any last words you'd like to say?" Lin Yuan said in a calm tone.
In actuality, he was seizing the opportunity to occupy more Spatial Layers, for a battle between Ninth Rank lifeforms essentially unfolded across countless Spatial Layers.
Even if Lin Yuan opened up numerous Spatial Layers, he had to fully occupy them to form an absolute advantage.
Before that complete occupation, a Prime God proficient in Space Rules like the Rainbow Dragon God still had a chance to escape.
"Longshan Patriarch, I can feel the blood of my Rainbow Dragon Clan flowing within you," the Rainbow Dragon God looked at Lin Yuan and said, "In a way, we are still kin."
The Rainbow Dragon God started to appeal to Lin Yuan for connection.
At this moment, he was willing to do anything to survive.
"Kin?"
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. When he had been asked to hand over the opportunity related to the Supreme God earlier, no one had mentioned kinship. Now, facing death, they were invoking kinship?
"I can see that you are also moving through the gaps between Spatial Layers to more distant depths of space," Lin Yuan stated directly.
While he continued to occupy more Spatial Layers, the Rainbow Dragon God likewise wouldn't just wait to be killed. He was trying every effort to survive.
In a direct confrontation... considering the Combat Power Lin Yuan had exhibited in the Ocean of Light, the Rainbow Dragon God knew it was impossible to catch up by any means.
So he attempted to use his innate talent to shift instantly between Spatial Layers.
But clearly, the Rainbow Dragon God's plan couldn't be concealed from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan, who had occupied a billion and two hundred Spatial Layers, had reached a terrifying realm in his perception of the nuances of space.
"Die."
A moment later, Lin Yuan had already occupied a billion and two hundred million Spatial Layers in this place, and with a thought, a tremendous force crushed down upon the Rainbow Dragon God.
"No."
The Rainbow Dragon God watched helplessly as all this unfolded; he tried to continue fleeing into even more distant Spatial Layers, but found it impossible as the space around him was completely sealed off.
"To think I would also meet a complete downfall one day? To die under the power of a Supreme God-level force, perhaps it's worth it," the Rainbow Dragon God's Divine Body disintegrated.
At the same time, a True God Form imbued with a rainbow gleam fell down, which Lin Yuan caught in his hand.
"This True God Form?" Lin Yuan examined it closely.
Compared to the other Prime God Forms Lin Yuan had obtained, the Rainbow Dragon God's was somewhat special, containing seven different powers, or more accurately, seven types of Rules.
It was regrettable that facing Lin Yuan, who had an overwhelming advantage, the Rainbow Dragon God did not even get a chance to use the seven Rules he possessed before dying.
"Seven more to go," Lin Yuan put away the True God Form.
His figure disappeared once again.
...
As time slowly passed.
All the demigods in the vast mortal world now focused their eyes on the sky above.
The celestial vault, once studded with bright stars, was now dim and lightless, except for five or six massive stars that symbolized Prime Gods and still twinkled.
But clearly, the remaining five or six stars wouldn't last long either, and soon after, two more fell.
All the beings of the mortal world, countless creatures, fell silent, witnessing this unprecedented and shocking event.
