Chapter 1081 Godhead
Inside the cave palace, an energy storm swept in all directions like a raging torrent.
The remnant soul of the evil god was doubly imprisoned by the Heavenly Cage and the Immortal-Trapping Array, yet it still unleashed a monstrous dark pressure like a trapped beast. The black energy, like boiling ink, surged and crashed against the spatial cage and the array barrier.
His lingering, illusory soul twisted wildly like a pretzel, and the roar emanating from his mouth was deafening: "You ignorant ants, how dare you covet my primordial crystal core! I will crush your souls into dust and condemn you to eternal damnation!"
"Shut up!" Su Mingyi's eyes flashed like lightning, and his purplish-gold Primordial Immortal Power surged once more like a volcanic eruption. The dragon-patterned longsword in his hand danced like a fairy, creating a dazzling sword flower. The purplish-gold dragon shadow on the sword raised its head and roared, as if proclaiming its majesty to the heavens and earth, drawing upon the purplish-gold Primordial Qi in the world, condensing it into an even more refined and terrifying sword light. "Primordial Evil-Slaying - Purple-Gold Dragon Roar Slash!"
This sword strike was Su Mingyi's masterpiece, a culmination of his complete mastery of the transformed Primordial Immortal Power, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky.
The purple-gold sword light, like a ferocious beast, ripped through the void with overwhelming force, accompanied by a sharp, tearing roar, and went straight for the core of the evil god's remnant soul.
Wherever the sword light passed, the black energy retreated like a tide, even cutting a long crack in space. The crack was filled with the purifying power of the primordial chaos, as warm as a spring breeze, instantly dissolving the surrounding dark and malevolent energy.
puff!
The sword light, like an indestructible blade, precisely pierced the brow of the remnant soul of the evil god. The remnant soul let out an extremely shrill scream, as if it were about to pierce through the clouds. Its phantom instantly collapsed, turning into countless black specks of light.
However, these points of light did not dissipate. Instead, they were attracted by a magnet and quickly converged towards the primordial crystal core in the center of the palace. The remnant soul of the evil god had long been deeply bound to the primordial crystal core. Even if the remnant soul dissipated, it could be revived with the help of the crystal core.
"We absolutely cannot let him be resurrected!" Yu Shuheng's expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning. He hurriedly activated the Immortal Trapping Array, and countless cyan array patterns roared out like cyan dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they tried to entangle those black light spots.
However, these points of light moved as fast as lightning and instantly merged into the primordial crystal core. The black light on the surface of the crystal core suddenly surged like a volcanic eruption, and the pressure it emitted was several times stronger than before. There were even faint signs that it was breaking free from its restraints and soaring into the sky.
Su Xiaoya's eyes narrowed, becoming as cold as a star. Her spatial domain expanded instantly, like a boundless net that enveloped the entire palace.
"Spatial Dao - Domain Imprisonment!"
The silver spatial ripples fluctuated violently like surging waves, the space inside the palace was instantly frozen, time seemed to stand still, and the speed at which the black light spots merged into the crystal core slowed down significantly.
Immediately afterwards, her hands danced like butterflies, forming an unprecedentedly complex hand seal. Silver light flashed from her fingertips like shooting stars, transforming into a huge spatial rune. On the rune, countless spatial rules intertwined like spider silk, exuding an aura that suppressed everything.
"This is... the original seal of the Great Dao of Space?" A look of shock flashed in Yu Shuheng's eyes, as if he had seen a rare treasure. He did not expect that Su Xiaoya's mastery of the Great Dao of Space had reached such a pinnacle.
"Space Dao - Divine Suppression Seal!"
Su Xiaoya gave a soft shout, like a nightingale singing in a valley. The huge spatial runes fell slowly like Mount Tai crushing an egg, imprinting themselves precisely on the Origin Crystal Core.
With a crisp "crack," the black light on the surface of the crystal core instantly dimmed. The crystal core itself trembled violently like a candle flickering in the wind, but it was firmly suppressed by the spatial runes and could no longer absorb the black light spots to reshape the remnant soul.
Like a cheetah, Su Mingyi seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, his figure flashing as fast as lightning to the front of the Origin Crystal Core.
His hands moved like butterflies, forming purification hand seals. The primordial immortal power within his body surged like a torrent, continuously flowing into the crystal core. The purple-gold energy, like a rushing river, powerfully washed away the dark origin within the crystal core.
"Purify the primordial chaos, cleanse away evil spirits!"
Inside the crystal core, a breathtaking life-or-death struggle unfolded between the purplish-gold primordial immortal power and the black dark origin.
The purifying power of the Primordial Chaos Qi was like a raging fire, constantly melting away the source of darkness, while the source of darkness was like an indestructible rock, stubbornly resisting.
The surface of the crystal core sometimes burst forth with a jet-black light, and sometimes shimmered with a brilliant purple-gold halo like stars. The intense collision of the two forces caused the entire cave to spin, with stone chips flying like a rainstorm and spatial cracks appearing one after another like a spider web.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoya did not hesitate to activate her spatial domain, injecting her spatial origin power into the crystal core like silk threads.
The silver spatial power, like a nimble sprite, coiled around the purple-gold primordial immortal power, not only enhancing the penetrating power of purification but also precisely cutting through the source of darkness like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, helping the primordial immortal power to dissolve evil spirits more quickly with the force of a whirlwind.
Yu Shuheng did not stand idly by either. He pushed the power of the Immortal Trapping Array to its peak. The cyan array patterns, like an inexhaustible spring, provided suppressive power, while simultaneously drawing in the spiritual energy within the cave, transforming it into pure energy like rivers flowing into the sea, replenishing the energy consumed by Su Mingyi and Su Xiaoya.
With the three working together, like three fierce tigers battling, the dark origin inside the crystal core was finally completely purified.
The black light on the surface of the crystal core receded like a tide, replaced by a pure silver light containing the origin of the Great Dao, as dazzling as the Milky Way, with a faint trace of purple-gold mixed in, just like a shooting star twinkling in the night sky, which was a sign of the fusion of spatial power and primordial energy.
At this moment, the primordial crystal core has shed all its evil aura, like a pearl covered by dust, now finally shining brightly, transforming into a supreme treasure containing the origin of the evil god's path, the power of space, and the power of primordial purification.
Inside the crystal core, a faint phantom of a divine spark can be seen. The divine spark is covered with runes of the Great Dao of Space and Darkness, like an ancient code waiting to be deciphered.
Although the dark runes have been purified by the primordial energy, they still retain the essence of the Great Dao, like a gem polished by time, radiating a mysterious light.
“This crystal core is now ownerless.” Yu Shuheng looked at the crystal core floating in mid-air and said slowly, “The spatial Dao origin contained within it is extremely pure. Moreover, it also contains a complete divine spark. For you, little girl, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Su Mingyi also looked at his little sister with fervor, genuinely happy for her: "Little girl, your spatial path has already touched the threshold of the domain realm. If you can refine this crystal core and absorb the spatial origin and divine essence within it, you will possess a divine essence. In the future, you will surely be able to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, breaking through all the way to the divine realm and becoming a true spatial god!"
Yu Shuheng looked at Su Xiaoya and earnestly gave her a detailed explanation of the information about divinity.
After all, he and Su Xiaoya both came from Earth, and their understanding of divinity was only derived from online novels.
Having received the inheritance, Yu Shuheng naturally didn't want Su Xiaoya to go astray due to a superficial understanding. After all, cultivation is something that cannot be taken lightly, not even in the slightest.
A godhood is not a fixed divine position, but a fragment of a fundamental rule of the world. Moreover, each rule has only one fragment—it may be a conceptual radiance, a inherited memory, a law rune, or reside in a "divine artifact".
There are two main sources of divinity:
Firstly, it originated from the collapse of the primordial laws at the time of creation;
Secondly, it is formed from nothingness by the strongest individuals through great opportunities and perseverance.
Because of the uniqueness of a godhood, seizing another's godhood becomes the quickest, yet also the most dangerous, shortcut on the path to godhood.
The attributes of a deity determine the direction of its power and the scope of its authority.
Divinity is mainly divided into the following categories:
The first is the elemental ruler class, which is the most classic type of deity, like the cornerstone of the world, controlling the elemental power that constitutes the world.
This type of divine power is intuitive and powerful, with destructive force like a volcanic eruption. However, it is easily restrained by opposing elements, much like the existence of natural enemies.
For example, the divine essence of light, the divine essence of darkness, and the divine essence of thunder:
Godhood of Light: Its power is as intense as the sun, encompassing light, heat, the creation of life, the purification of order, and the brief darkness and silence of an eclipse.
The Godhood of Darkness: Its power is like endless darkness, including shadows, gravity, devouring, silence, and the secrets hidden deep within the earth.
The God of Thunder: His power is like the might of thunder, including thunder, lightning, gales, torrential rain, and the related concept of "divine punishment," such as the wrath of the gods.
Secondly, there are concept-rule classes, which control certain abstract concepts, like a mysterious veil, making them more enigmatic and powerful.
These kinds of divine abilities are unpredictable and difficult to defend against, much like the whispers of a ghost. However, they often require strict adherence to rules and consume enormous amounts of energy, like a burning candle that gradually burns out.
For example, the divine authority of time, the divine authority of fate, and the divine authority of cause and effect:
The God of Time: Its powers are like the wheel of time, including acceleration, deceleration, pausing local time, time reversal (with great limitations), and peeking into fragments of the future.
Deity of Fate: Powers are like the threads of fate, including peering into the trajectory of destiny, weaving a symphony of "coincidences," casting spells of blessing or curse, and shielding fate.
The God of Cause and Effect: His powers are like a scale of justice, including establishing rules with absolute binding force (words become law), making fair judgments, witnessing oaths and imposing punishments for breaking them.
Thirdly, there are matters of life and destiny, which are closely related to all living beings, and the power of faith is like the source of their life.
These deities are closely connected to the mortal realm, and the number and devotion of their followers are the source of their power. For example, in ancient Chinese mythology, deities such as the Earth God, City God, Mountain God, and River God all collect the power of faith to enhance their divine power.
In a cultivation world like Qingyuan Star, these are represented by the Godhood of War, the Godhood of Marriage, and the Godhood of Death:
War Godhood: Power is like a sharp blade, stirring up fighting spirit, boosting morale, absorbing the killing intent of the battlefield to strengthen oneself, and mastering all killing techniques.
The God of Marriage: His power is like a net of love, igniting/calming feelings of affection, seeing through emotional connections, and using "love" as the driving force for healing or enchantment.
Death Godhood: Power is a double-edged sword, managing the reincarnation of souls, communicating with the dead, imposing instant death judgments, and manipulating the undead (but not all death gods are evil).
Fourthly, there are special types of deities, such as composite and supreme types.
This type of deity is extremely rare, formed by the integration of multiple fundamental rules, or it may touch upon the essence of the world.
For example, Chaos Godhood, Life Godhood, and Space Godhood:
Chaos Godhood: Power is like a Pandora's box, distorting reality, creating unpredictable miracles or disasters, and dismantling the energy of order.
Life Godhood: Power is like the paintbrush of a creator, bringing life out of nothing, giving form to concepts—this is the power closest to the creator god.
Spatial Divinity: Power is like an omnipotent magician, controlling space and possessing the concept of absolute "nothingness," shielding all perception and connection.
