Chapter 1278: Mi Ming God Lord

Chapter 1278: Miming God-Lord

Almost at the exact instant the words of the Aurora Young Master rang out... above the primordial homeworld, outside the tattered stellar skin, on the other side of the space-time rift, a colossal eye suddenly manifested!

This eye was sacred and immense!

Its pupil was composed of a dark golden vortex devouring starlight, and its iris was covered with cracked silver lines, appearing incomparably astonishing.

Countless stars refracted eerie double images within it, as if myriad universes and numerous star domains were merely reflections in this eye.

At the same time, tides of divine source akin to galaxies spilled from the slit of the eye, and everywhere they passed, the void boiled and surged like seething quicksilver.

And at this moment, It was gazing through the space-time rift at the primordial homeworld within!

Under Its watch, the void within the rift where the primordial homeworld resided began to tear and collapse.

The tattered stellar skin instantly emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass, and all the laws within it began to crumble, turning into strands of pure quintessence that flowed toward this eye.

Not only was it so for the stellar skin, but the primordial homeworld was the same, even including all the power of the gods that was flowing toward the Aurora Young Master to forge His godhood.

All were sucked away by this eye!

It was as if this eye had become a vortex devouring all things, everything decomposing into shimmering points of light under this gaze.

It was severing the nutrients required for the Aurora Young Master's ascension!

It was even erasing the future of the Aurora Young Master!

As the light of its pupil turned, scenes of the Aurora Young Master's future figures distinctively manifested within.

Some of these figures turned to dust in the gaze, while others gained transcendent power under this sacred watch.

Yet no matter which timeline it was, this eye seemed to be His insurmountable end.

This was the Eternal Divine Emperor's response to the Aurora Young Master!

The entire primordial homeworld roared instantly.

The sky of the stellar skin withered and decomposed on a massive scale, countless rivers of blood rolled like galaxies toward the outside world, and even the colors of the homeworld were being drained away, turning deathly pale!

Space was also distorting, cracks appeared in time, and countless dust particles collapsed in the void, forming brilliant nebulae that abruptly scattered.

Everything began to reverse under the gaze of the Eternal Divine Emperor.

Xu Qing's body and soul also showed signs of shattering and dissolving!

But the existence of his true name manifested its function at this moment, making him like a lonely boat sailing upon the sea in a storm, struggling with all his might.

Beside him, Fairy Linghuang was equally pale.

Until the next instant, a majestic figure manifested in front of Xu Qing and Fairy Linghuang, shielding them from the gaze from beyond the heavens.

"As expected of a God-Lord."

A calm voice drifted from the mouth of the Aurora Young Master as He stood before the two most important people in His life, looking toward the vault of heaven.

He met the gaze of the Eternal Divine Emperor!

The moment they clashed, the black crystalline flakes on the surface of His body all shook, and countless fine cracks surfaced upon them, as if they were about to collapse.

Even the power of the divine source flowing within His body experienced a brief stagnation under this contact of gazes.

It was as if a sky full of stardust had collapsed into nothingness, becoming divine sounds echoing in the depths of His soul, and every single note was gnawing at His divine spirit.

"Now this is thrilling!"

The Aurora Young Master smiled, and the vertical pupil at the center of His brow suddenly floated with hundreds of millions of blood-colored incantations at this split second, each one emitting a deafening roar.

Then, with a lift and a gouge of the Aurora Young Master's right hand.

That eye was distinctively gouged out by Him, and after lingering in His palm for a breath, He flung this eyeball toward the vault of heaven.

Instantly, boundless aurora... abruptly erupted from within this eye, forming a furious tide!

It surged toward the canopy of heaven.

Witnessing this, Xu Qing's breathing grew ragged; previously he had not seen much clue from this eye, but now at the moment this eye flew toward the canopy and scattered the aurora...

He recognized it.

That was the light of the Aurora Immortal Master; this eye... was a relic of the Aurora Immortal Master!

Or to be precise, this was the eye of the Aurora Immortal Master, who had left this eye to his offspring, and within it was contained his Charter!

And at this moment, with the eruption of the aurora transformed from the eyeball, the vault of heaven of the entire primordial homeworld billowed on a grand scale, distinctively transforming into a flowing ocean of jade.

It was not just red!

Tens of thousands of multi-colored bands of light were like the Creator God splashing ink, as torrents of indigo, crimson, and silver-white light surged and clashed among the clouds.

These flowing streams of color intertwined and ascended, condensing into a translucent crystalline dome outside the primordial homeworld.

Every inch of the barrier pulsated with a radiance sufficient to extinguish a divine soul.

Furthermore, a massive phantom of a vertical pupil faintly surfaced upon it, and with the divine eye of the Eternal Divine Emperor outside the space-time rift...

Their gazes clashed!

The nothingness roared!

A muffled groan came from outside the space-time rift.

Countless profound runes surfaced on the jade light curtain, and veins of light bulged and throbbed on the surface of the barrier, deep blue electric arcs leaping and flashing in the gaps between the streams of light.

It seemed to transform into a prismatic behemoth that devoured all things, blocking the gaze of the Eternal Divine Emperor!

And decomposing it into light butterflies formed of multicolored particles of light.

These light butterflies composed of divine source, tinted by the aurora, unfurled butterfly wings that spanned the sky, flowing upward against the current at ultimate speed, heading straight for the outside of the space-time rift.

Completely blocking the gaze from the Eternal Divine Emperor!

Intercepting It from sucking away, preventing It from disturbing!

Rewriting all the reversed influences once more, correcting them anew, making the residual divine might become a mere segment of fluctuation within the aurora spectrum.

This was precisely using the boundless aurora to brand a glorious totem upon the canopy of heaven!

Just like the master of this Charter, who in life could not bear for his beloved son to inherit the suffering of his own torment, and thus sought death.

After death... he was still protecting!

These unfolding scenes shook all directions, and all the true gods outside the primordial homeworld felt their life instincts surge, beginning to retreat one after another.

And the divine eye outside the space-time rift also dimmed at this moment, covered by the boundless light butterflies.

Leaving only the power of godhood gathering at the final crucial moment on that primordial homeworld shrouded in aurora!

A total eruption!

In the eyes of Xu Qing and Fairy Linghuang, the godhood before the Aurora Young Master at this moment shone with an unprecedented light.

And the black crystalline flakes covering His body were devouring all this light, and upon every piece of scale armor, the lines of the true name were reflected.

Until a few breaths later, those lines composed of the true name upon the black crystalline flakes around His body seemed to have satisfied all requirements, and at this split second... they slithered like living things!

Converging at His chest, they outlined a spinning golden vortex there.

At the center of the vortex, strands of golden thread stretched out, spreading outward toward the blood-colored godhood floating in front of Him, intertwining with it!

The rapidly growing divine core began to shimmer with patterns identical to those of Young Lord Aurora.

Every single thread within it brimmed unmistakably with world-shattering power.

As golden filaments wove themselves into the divine core, Young Lord Aurora’s form utterly shed the constraints of mortal cultivation—

becoming taller, more sacred, and imbued with an indescribable aura.

Especially His spine—it now resembled a dimensional string bridging reality and void, each tremor resonating through the entire Star Ring,

transforming into divine hymns that echoed across the celestial circuit.

“The Divine Core… is complete!”

In the next instant, the core before Him blazed with overwhelming radiance!

At the precise moment of its perfection, heaven and earth trembled, the cosmos roared, star realms churned—and the entire Fourth Star Ring… surged in upheaval!

All things quaked; gods shuddered; the Sea of Memory heaved with boundless waves.

The primal essence of the entire universe coalesced into tidal forces of apocalyptic magnitude, surging inward all at once.

Every star system within hundreds of millions of light-years spiraled like dust caught in a vortex, collapsing madly toward the Primal Mother Star.

The whole Fourth Star Ring plunged into sudden darkness.

This spectacle sent ripples so vast that even other Star Rings took notice—gods there unleashed their infinite divine might, gazing from afar.

Yet within the pitch-black expanse of the Fourth Star Ring, only the Primal Mother Star glowed—a crimson light emanating from Young Lord Aurora’s divine core!

It was a cube forged from countless scarlet runes, each face mirror-smooth, reflecting the ultimate fates of all beings, civilizations, and deities within the Fourth Star Ring.

That was… the Authority of Fate!

Or more precisely—the stolen fragment of Upper Desolation’s dominion over destiny, seized through the Mirror Covenant from the Sovereign God Himself!

Gazing upon the core, Immortal Phoenix’s eyes filled with worry. She knew—the most crucial step was about to begin.

Beside her, Xu Qing, upon seeing fate itself etched onto the core, felt his mind drift into a daze.

“That… is the divine authority of Upper Desolation…” he murmured.

In that fleeting instant, a profound realization flooded his awareness.

...

At the very moment Young Lord Aurora’s divine core formed, deep within the forbidden zone of the Fourth Star Ring—where crimson dust swirled in eternal orbit—

upon an altar built from god-bones and insectoid husks, inside a bronze coffin wreathed in chaotic mist and bound by countless divine chains,

a grating, hoarse laughter rang out once more.

“So that’s how it is…”

“Nanke—you truly deserve your reputation as the thief who stole Upper Desolation’s divine authority. Though you’ve imprisoned me until now, I must admit: you are no ordinary being!”

“If you had foreseen this, you surely would have stopped it.”

“But that cultivator who ascended from immortality to our level used the karmic veil of Upper Desolation to obscure your omniscience—making events unfold before your perception could catch up…”

“And though you could have corrected it, you chose instead to let it be.”

“Because… this is your opportunity too, isn’t it?”

“You intend to make all the gods of the Fourth Star Ring bear the lingering calamity of Upper Desolation on your behalf!”

“This is the karmic debt you incurred when you stole fragments of its authority during the great cataclysm of Upper Desolation. Perhaps from that very moment, you began preparing for today.”

“I wonder, though—what do your vassal God-Emperors think of this now?”

The laughter grew louder and louder.

Meanwhile, within the darkened Fourth Star Ring, across the Twelve Divine Dynasties, every God-Emperor fell silent.

They had seen through the web of causality, understood everything—and slowly lifted their gazes, directing their senses toward the Supreme Divine Court of the Star Ring.

Even the Eternal God-Emperor closed his eyes gently within his temple, sending forth his awareness.

Yet… the Supreme Divine Court where the Sovereign resided remained utterly unresponsive—even now.

...

Within the Fifth Star Ring, spacetime itself rippled.

Amidst the void imperceptible to all living beings, the figure of the Immortal Sovereign walked forward.

In His left hand shimmered the memory of His son, the Aurora Immortal Lord, ascending the throne and grasping the mantle of cosmic fortune in life.

From His right hand flowed the thousand years of time erased alongside that era.

“The time… has come.”
