Due to the encounter with the consciousness of the God King, only Dongfang Shuo was aware of what he truly saw.
After this, Dongfang Shuo underwent a drastic change in temperament, becoming power-hungry and arrogant. He even failed to fulfill his promise to the Yin Master Leader to eliminate the Nine Star Mound, completely disappearing from everyone's sight. No one could find him again, nor could anyone know what he had experienced.
The Yin Master Leader was naturally troubled by this, as he had not only failed to eradicate the Divine Envoy in his confrontation but had also suffered significant losses in manpower. Consequently, he could only evade the Yang Master and gradually recuperate.
On the other hand, the Divine Envoy was also severely injured. Even though they knew that the container holding the God King's consciousness was lost, they were temporarily powerless to search for it and could only gather information while recuperating.
As for the Yang Master, seeing that the situation had calmed down, they did not delve too deeply into matters but remained wary of the Yin Master.
Afterward, neither the Yang Master nor the Yin Master engaged in further battles, and the world of yin and yang returned to a long-awaited tranquility.
However, this peace did not last long. More than a decade after the great war, Dongfang Shuo suddenly reappeared. His return incited a furious attack from the Yin Master, who had long harbored deep resentment against him.
This time, the four Void Gods of the Yin Master not only failed to gain any advantage but also discovered that Dongfang Shuo possessed the power of the God King within him. Although incomplete, that overwhelming strength was enough to scatter the Yin Master's forces.
After their defeat, the Yin Master intended to flee, but Dongfang Shuo handed a key to the Yin Master Leader, instructing him to create a Box in a specific manner and seal the key within it for safekeeping. He also informed the Yin Master Leader that he would remove all Onizuka and establish new ones that would not be used to suppress them.
Although at that time the Yin Master's people did not understand his intentions, they were compelled to comply out of fear of Dongfang Shuo's God King power.
Subsequently, Dongfang Shuo sought out the leader of the Yang Master and entrusted him with the last remaining Soul Sealing Talisman and a Sheepskin Book used for removing seals. He also instructed him to create a Box nearly identical to that of the Yin Master and seal those items within it.
After handling these two matters, he finally visited the Divine Envoy one last time and commissioned them to create this final Box.
From that point on, no one ever saw Dongfang Shuo again, nor did anyone know where he had gone…
At this point, the Sun Warrior Leader lifted his teacup and took a sip, moistening his already dry lips. "This is what I know about the origins of the three Boxes and the God King..." He paused for a moment, deep in thought.
My mind was in chaos as I tried to connect all the clues, but something felt off. The tangled threads of information swirled in my thoughts, and combined with my earlier emotional turmoil, I found it impossible to think clearly, let alone discern the truth behind what the Sun Warrior Leader had said.
I glanced at my parents, who sat nearby with somber expressions and tear-streaked faces. After a moment of contemplation, I said, "You've shared so much, but it seems you haven't explained how this relates to me."
The Sun Warrior Leader set down his teacup. "I'm only telling you what I know. As for your situation, I believe you should ask your parents..."
He shifted his gaze toward them. I furrowed my brow and asked, "Mom, Dad, what's going on? Is your sadness connected to this?"
My parents exchanged glances and nodded in unison. My father sighed deeply and said, "At this point, we don't want to hide anything from you anymore. We were both Yang Masters, but we weren't completely under the jurisdiction of the Yangshi Four Void Deities; we directly answered to the Divine Envoy..."
I wasn't surprised to learn that my parents were Yang Masters; instead, I felt a sense of relief. "Dad, it's okay. I won't blame you."
My father continued, "This story goes back to when Mr. Dongfang sought the Divine Envoy to create the Boxes. At that time, Mr. Dongfang came into contact with the consciousness of the God King, which led to his own consciousness being invaded by the God King. He began accumulating a vast amount of Spirit of All Things within him until he could no longer control it and made a decision similar to that of the God King..."
"He identified those Yang Masters who were most loyal and pure of soul, individuals without Void God powers, and commanded them to serve the Divine Envoy under the guise of the God King. Then he divided his existing God King power into nine parts and stored them in the newly established Nine Star Mound. Among these was the Mound of the Phantom Star, which was entrusted to the descendants of those Yang Masters taken over by the Divine Envoy to guard for generations."
"And you, son..." At this point, my father looked at me intently. "You are the Mound of the Phantom Star!"
"Me? Wait... You mean I'm Onizuka? How is that even possible...?" I was at a loss for how to process this sudden revelation, stunned by my father's words.
"Son, haven't you realized after breaking so many Onizuka? Each time you break one, doesn't your Void Spirit power increase?"
"Yes, that's true..." I widened my eyes and muttered to myself.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that every time I broke through Onizuka, the increase in power was actually due to the release of the God King's strength, continuously flowing into my Void Spirit.
"This Box in front of me..." I pointed with trembling fingers at the Box placed before me and said, "It contains the consciousness of the God King. If I open this Box and come into contact with what’s inside, then I will become the God King..."
Upon hearing this, my father said, "No one can be certain about that. Throughout history, there have only been two individuals referred to as the God King: one is the God King himself, and the other is Mr. Dongfang. Even he cannot truly be considered a real God King because not only is his power incomplete, but his consciousness has not merged with that of the God King... So, what will happen if you open this Box? I cannot guarantee anything..."
With that, the hall fell silent. A myriad of emotions surged within me as I struggled to understand my current self.
Am I merely a vessel for the God King? Yet I am a living person. If I am human, then I have long since lost the qualification to be an ordinary person...
"Why am I even searching for this so-called truth..." I stared blankly at the Box before me and said, "If nothing had ever begun, if I hadn’t pursued this so-called truth, perhaps things wouldn’t have come to this point..."
With that thought, I slowly turned my head towards my father. "Dad, if I were to completely disappear from this world, would everything come to an end?"
