After three long months of seclusion, Wang Long emerged.
Through his own insights and a conversation with the Eight Ghost Kings, Wang Long's understanding of the Spirit concept deepened significantly. Over these three months, he had fully comprehended the realm possessed by the Human Emperor.
He externalized his essence, endowing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy with spirituality.
Moreover, Wang Long could sense that he had reached the pinnacle of this realm and had begun to explore an existence beyond spirituality. If he could truly attain it, he would be able to create living beings! An existence akin to a deity!
However, he also understood that this seemingly intricate threshold was, in reality, far from reach. Simply relying on his own seclusion and comprehension was insufficient, so he resolved to step out of the chamber.
The door swung open.
With a creak, the door to the chamber opened, and Wang Long stepped out once again, greeted by the brilliant sunlight outside.
He found a group of people anxiously waiting.
"What’s going on? Is something wrong?!" Seeing the expressions on their faces, Wang Long sensed something was amiss and quickly asked in a serious tone.
Wang Yuanxian's face was grim as he replied, "Dragon Lord has been in seclusion for cultivation, and we dared not disturb you. However... it seems urgent. If you hadn't come out today, we might have had to force our way through this door."
"What exactly happened? Did the Human Emperor attack?"
Man Qianyi shook his head. "Not quite... But Dragon Lord, you should see for yourself!"
With that, he raised his hand and pointed toward the clear sky above.
Wang Long looked up...
Above the Nine Heavens, a vast surge of Vital Energy was moving without wind, slowly sweeping toward the Kyushu Islands. This overwhelming sight, where Heavenly Shield obscured the sun, was unprecedented—truly breathtaking and terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine!
"What exactly is that?" Man Qianyi couldn't help but ask. Even he, who had seen and experienced much, truly did not understand what such a miraculous phenomenon could be.
Wang Long's expression changed, and he sighed heavily, "It seems... the date of the decisive battle is approaching. The Human Emperor's Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate is about to be fully refined."
Wang Yuanxian exclaimed in shock, "Are you saying... that this miraculous scene is caused by the Human Emperor's treasure?!"
"No, it's not caused by the Human Emperor's treasure; rather... that is the treasure itself!"
"The Human Emperor has endowed the treasure with its own spirit... even a trace of life! It is crazily devouring Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, consuming the void for its own use! It is... creating a new world! The Divine Realm!"
Everyone was astonished!
Even these elder-level figures, including the Four Sea Dragon Kings, who were high and mighty and ruled over all the waters of the world, were left speechless by these words!
A treasure that can autonomously devour Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, even swallowing the void for its own use, growing stronger and evolving on its own! A treasure that is expanding into a new world, creating a new realm!
Such a thing was beyond mere experience; it was something they couldn't even dare to imagine!
The East Sea Dragon King exclaimed in shock, "Is this... really the Human Emperor's Thirty-Three Heavens Palace Golden Gate?! The Dragon King claims to have confidence in confronting such an existence?!"
Wang Long smiled, "Everyone need not be so pessimistic... As I said, this Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs, forged with all our combined strength, will definitely not lose to it."
Despite this, everyone still felt deep concern in their hearts. After all, this phenomenon covered the entire Cloud Sea and surpassed their understanding of treasures; it was simply unimaginable and unfathomable!
Seeing the expressions of everyone, Wang Long sighed again and said, "Alright! Since that's the case... please gather in the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall. I will explain everything to you."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a stir in their hearts. No wonder the Dragon King remained so calm; he must have some hidden trump card up his sleeve!
A group of people began to leave the secret chamber, gathering towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall. The sky was painted with a faint glow, yet it seemed to be swallowed and absorbed by an invisible world-destroying beast, as if the entire world was breathing.
Wang Long sat comfortably in the hall, surrounded by the Four Sea Dragon Kings, Ling Li Jiang Xue, Wang Yuanxian Man Qianyi, and the Nine Provinces Dragon Head, all of whom were elder-level figures.
Looking around, Wang Long let out a long breath and finally spoke.
"What I am about to say... is perhaps the greatest secret of this world, the origin of the world! This secret is known only to me and the Human Emperor in today's world, and it occurred when he and I first met in the Land of Return to Ruins."
"You all know that I had a mysterious encounter with the Human Emperor in the Land of Return to Ruins, but what you do not know... is that there exists a mysterious person there! His cultivation is unfathomable; even someone like me and the Human Emperor did not notice his presence at all!"
Ling Li couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Is there someone in this world whose realm surpasses both you and the Human Emperor?! You must know that both of your current cultivations have already surpassed everyone else; no one can even begin to imagine it."
Wang Long smiled, "At that time, I did not possess such a realm. However... the Human Emperor indeed has profound depth, yet he too failed to notice this person's existence. It should be without question that this person's mysteriousness far exceeds both of us."
The Four Sea Dragon Kings exchanged glances, somewhat taken aback and confused about where such a transcendent expert had come from to disrupt their affairs.
"This person... at that time gave me and the Human Emperor the Thirteen Volumes of Heavenly Scriptures and spoke some words to us."
"It was a gamble... betting on the future outcomes of me and the Human Emperor, betting on the future direction of this world!"
Wang Yuanxian pondered, "What was his purpose?!"
"I fear... he has no purpose at all! In his eyes, both me and the Human Emperor are merely two important chess pieces! Although we have profound cultivation and extraordinary power, we are nothing more than toys for him, merely played with in his gambling game!"
"…"
"The Dragon Lord means to say... this person, no, this existence, is essentially a deity?!"
The North Sea Dragon King scoffed and asked in a deep voice, seemingly quite skeptical.
Unexpectedly, Wang Long responded with a smile, "That's right, he is a deity!"
For a moment, the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Hall fell silent, everyone seemed unable to keep up with Wang Long's words, as if he had just said something insane.
A deity! How could such a thing exist in this world!
If there truly were deities, where were they during the Dragon Extinction? If there truly were deities, where were they during the endless wars of the Hundred Clans of Demons, when the flames of conflict raged across the land?!
Wang Long merely swept his gaze over everyone and saw through their doubts, but he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "You are all mistaken, thinking that deities exist to protect humanity and maintain peace and stability in the world..."
"Actually, it's not so."
"A chess player does not develop feelings for any particular piece, nor does he fuss over the gains or losses of individual pieces; because he exists outside the entire game!"
"If all the pieces are completely lost, it will not affect him at all; if the entire game is in disarray, it will not cause him any loss... unless..."
