Gu Yuena's expression grew serious as she gazed towards the city of Xiaohai and even farther towards the coastline. She spoke slowly, "I can sense a grand and oppressive force emanating from that direction, as if all things in the world are governed by it. It carries an ancient aura, as if—"

"Endured through countless ages."

The pressure from this force was immensely heavy.

Moreover, this power was extremely subtle; it could only be sensed by those existing within the same world. Even deities would not be able to detect it otherwise.

In other words, this power, transcending mortal realms, could act freely in this world without any constraints as long as it avoided the domains of the gods.

Because the gods of the divine realm were unable to perceive it.

To be honest, Gu Yuena did not understand what kind of power this was, as it seemed to surpass all deities. Even the former Dragon God could not compare on the level of power.

Perhaps only the Creator God who founded the divine realm could be on par with it.

Right!

The Creator God!

It must be the power left by the Creator God!

"Endured through countless ages, from ancient times to the present, it is indeed an extraordinary treasure," Tang San also looked towards the direction of Xiaohai City.

In contrast to Gu Yuena's conjecture, Tang San had already confirmed that the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire's golden finger might be the Throne of Eternal and Creation.

This was a super artifact.

According to the setting, the bearer of the Throne of Eternal and Creation would receive the imprint of the Creator God. Regardless of the rules of the plane the bearer is in, they would not need to follow them. Instead, at the moment of becoming a deity, they would receive a special divine rank through the imprint of the Creator God, as an overseer of the world.

Moreover, the bearer of this throne would be granted the status of the Creator God, and would never have to worry about cultivation bottlenecks before becoming a deity.

If they existed in the Douluo plane, the rule of needing soul rings to break through bottlenecks might not apply.

Tang San could only sense the strength of the Sun Moon Empire, which appeared to be a Soul Douluo. The exact level was unknown, and further investigation would be obstructed by some power.

That power must be from the Throne of Eternal and Creation…

Meanwhile, on the massive ship, Xu Huang awoke from his meditation, his brow furrowed. He communicated with the thirteen Eternal Stars within him and asked, "King Easton, the Sacred Dragon, Eternal Angel, since before, the Throne of Eternal and Creation has been trembling, and it just trembled again. What's happening?"

King Easton, the Sacred Dragon, and the Eternal Angel were the spirit entities within the Throne of Eternal and Creation, all having reached divine level. Even other powerful deities would bow before them due to their formidable bloodlines.

In terms of strength, they were equivalent to the first-tier gods of the divine realm.

King Easton's booming voice replied, "On the continent you are heading towards, someone is probing with their spiritual power. I do not know their strength, but their spiritual power's quality has already surpassed that of ordinary deities, and the aura it emits carries a hint of creation."

Xu Huang's mind trembled, asking, "Has this person also obtained the legacy of the Creator God?"

"No," King Easton denied. "I have not sensed the presence of a divine position. Their attributes should be natural and life forces, only having gained a thread of creation power in their future cultivation, which is growing… To be honest, if you hadn't found the Throne of Eternal and Creation first and become its temporary master, this legacy of the Creator God would have gone directly to them."

As the master of the Throne of Eternal and Creation, Xu Huang had indeed been acknowledged by these three spirit entities. However, his strength was not comparable to any of the three. The assessment he underwent was arranged according to his own strength.

At this moment, Xu Huang felt a sense of urgency.

Like past users of the Throne of Eternal and Creation, he was merely borrowing the throne and not its true master. As long as he completed the so-called mission, the throne would leave.

And what was this mission?

Naturally, it was to stop the Creator God's twin, Austin Griffin, from destroying this continent.

However, Xu Huang wanted to truly replace the original Creator God, gain the full use of the throne, and become its eternal master.

"To become the true master of the Throne of Eternal and Creation… that thought should not be entertained," King Easton's warning voice resonated. "Among all who have used this throne throughout history, very few have sought to claim it for themselves. You are not the first, and you won't be the last. It is crucial to correct your attitude."

"I understand," Xu Huang responded, aware that his current strength was insufficient. To become the eternal master of the throne and replace the Creator God, he must defeat the Eternal Lord—the fragment of divine consciousness left by the Creator God within the throne.

Even a fragment of the Creator God's divine consciousness could unleash power surpassing that of the Divine King.

Defeating it was a formidable challenge.

At present, Xu Huang had only passed the trials set by King Easton, the Sacred Dragon, and the Eternal Angel, gaining mere usage rights. The Eternal Lord had not yet made an appearance.

His insignificant strength meant that the Eternal Lord ignored him. In fact, if Xu Huang's martial soul had not been the Sun Moon Wheel, capable of emitting sunlight with a relatively pure light attribute, he would not have even qualified for the trial...

*Eternity Domain*

In the world within the Throne of Eternal and Creation, King Easton, the Sacred Dragon, and the Eternal Angel gathered to discuss the presence of the earlier spiritual power.

"That individual has definitely condensed their soul," King Easton declared. "I can sense the chaos and order within them. Do you think they might be a reincarnation of a fragment of the Creator God's soul?"

The Sacred Dragon pondered for a moment and said, "It does resemble it somewhat, but the Creator God's only remaining fragment is the Eternal Lord. The rest of the soul fragments either evolved into deities of the original plane or became the energy that created this Eternity Domain. They cannot still exist; it is likely just a strong resemblance."

The Eternal Angel added, "Speaking of which, this plane connects to another divine realm, created by another Creator God. Although it has not yet developed into a true divine star, its potential is significant. If it were used as nourishment, could it allow the great Eternal Lord to be revived?"

"The Creator God would not do that," King Easton shook his head and continued, "Moreover, in terms of strength, we are not a match for the deities of that realm. They have too many deities, and there are five extremely powerful laws—Life, Destruction, Killing Intent, Goodness, and Evil. Particularly the latter two, which utilize the abstract concepts of Good and Evil."

"I suspect that the Creator God of that divine realm used most of their essence to nurture these two conceptual deities when they created the divine realm."

"If these two deities grow, they will surpass the Creator God and will not be destroyed by the rejection of cosmic will."

"After all, 'Creator God' is merely a title given by mortals. The great Eternal Lord did not initially intend to create a world."

The Sacred Dragon reflected, "Indeed, the cosmic will does not tolerate the Creator God. Anyone who cultivates to the level of creation will be compelled by the cosmic will to create a world… All cultivation originates from the cosmos and ultimately returns to it. This is the unchanging law since the birth of the Great Universe."

Did the first master of the Throne of Eternal and Creation truly wish to create?

It was simply unavoidable.

All Creator Gods were like this, and after their death, most hoped that their progeny born in the world they created would surpass them and the constraints of cosmic will.

Unfortunately, most deities, upon realizing the vastness of cosmic will, chose to "give up," meaning they adhered to the regulations of the Great Universe.

A few Creator Gods, like the Eternal Lord, retained a fragment of their divine consciousness through special artifacts after the collapse of creation, and, following the cosmic will—or fate's guidance—sought to understand and explore the nature of cosmic will while addressing issues across various planes. They sought ways to transcend the control of cosmic will.

Because of this personal desire, the Throne of Eternal and Creation will forever belong to the Eternal Lord. Even if the original Creator God has died, as long as the divine consciousness remains, the throne will never truly change hands. Others may gain the right to use it, but not the right to govern it.
