"On purpose? Why?"Void Worm froze, not understanding why.
"Because I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation. Without doing this, I might remain a God King for life — and I'm not willing to accept that," the Crimson Mother sighed softly. "After I discussed the Dao with the Goddess of Life and learned that the fusion of life and destruction could produce the power of creation, I had the idea to comprehend a law that directly opposes the law of creation and forcibly merge it to break through beyond the God King realm."
"The battle with the Dragon God, who possessed the God Core of Destruction, confirmed to me that this was the only way I could surpass the God King level. But I already had the God Core of Creation. If I cultivated a completely opposing law, it would be erased by the Creation Law before I even succeeded. So, I decided to abandon everything and start over from scratch."
"But the God Beasts in the God Realm needed me, their God King. You all called me 'Lord', so how could I leave you behind? Also, the God Realm Committee would never allow me to surpass the God King level and stand above them. So, I kept waiting for the right opportunity."
"That opportunity was the Dragon God. When he appeared, he only had the God Core of Destruction and was like a madman, unsatisfied with my position as the ruler of all beasts. The moment he arrived in the God Realm, he challenged me to a fight to the death."
"In that battle, I actually had a chance to win. But I might have permanently fallen from the God King level. And without a God King to lead them, the God Beasts would have been doomed. So I deliberately lost, letting him kill me and take my Creation God Core. I thought combining it with his Destruction Core would grant him Super God King powers, and suppress his violent nature. It might make him think more rationally. That way, the God Beasts would still have a God King, and I could hide and focus on finding a way to break through. But I didn't expect so many God Beasts would be destroyed because of me... sigh."
"Lord, this isn't your fault. It's that Dragon God who's too dumb." Void Worm shook its head furiously.
Although the Crimson Mother chose to die to focus on breaking through, it was the Dragon God who forced her hand.
Back then, if she had continued fighting the Dragon God and both were seriously wounded, the God Beasts would still have perished due to the lack of a God King.
The Crimson Mother sighed again and continued,"Before dying, I fully merged the Law of Creation into my soul, ensuring no God King could completely destroy it. To focus on cultivating a law opposite to Creation, I sealed myself off entirely — including my soul's memory. Even if I reincarnated, I wouldn't regain my memories unless I found a way to surpass the God King level. I'd live and die with only the soul's instincts remaining. In each life, I cultivated various negative laws in hopes of eventually fusing them with my soul's Creation Law and breaking through."
"After being killed by the Dragon God, I died twice more. Now is my third reincarnation. In my first life, I cultivated the power of Death and was besieged to death. In the second, I cultivated Evil and died in an accident during godhood ascension. In the third life, I became an Abyssal creature and cultivated Destruction, created the Crimson Domain, and reached the Half-God King level. Then, by a great stroke of luck, I finally broke through to God King and regained my memories."
"You've fully regained your memory? So you've already…" Void Worm gulped, eyes lighting up with excitement.
Not only Void Worm, but all the powerful beings in the Crimson Domain became incredibly thrilled.
Beyond God King!
Their Mother was about to break through beyond God King.
How could they not be excited?
They had tried for countless years to help the Crimson Mother ascend, all in vain.Now, she was going to break through on her own.
All eyes turned to her, full of anticipation, waiting for the answer they hoped for.
"Yes. I've found the way to surpass God King. With the help of a God Star, I can break through at any time." Seeing their eager faces, the Crimson Mother gave them the confirmation.
After years of exploration and accidentally glimpsing the River Diagram and Luo Shu, she had found her path.
"God Star…" Void Worm froze. With its knowledge, it clearly understood what that meant.
"Don't worry. Since I've regained my memories, I also know where the God Star is," she smiled again. "Oh, I forgot to mention — the Dragon God has also revived and even created her own God Realm. That realm is incredibly high-grade. With enough power, it can be upgraded into a God Star. And power is exactly what the Crimson Domain has in abundance."
Over countless millennia, the Crimson Domain had devoured countless worlds and amassed an unfathomable amount of energy, nurturing hundreds of beings equal to First-Class Gods.
For comparison, the Douluo God Realm only had eighteen First-Class Gods.
And since the Crimson Domain wasn't even a full God Realm, producing one God-level being was several times harder — showing just how rich in energy it truly was.
"You mean… we're going to invade the Dragon God's realm?" Void Worm's voice brimmed with excitement.
"No, we're going to steal her home," the Crimson Mother replied with a mischievous grin. "The Dragon God is currently fighting the God Realm, caught up in an intense war. Her realm is basically empty — the perfect time to steal it! Heh, when she comes back and finds her home looted by me, she'll be furious!"
"Ah?! My lord, you…?" Void Worm was stunned. Aren't they mortal enemies?Why does this feel more like petty revenge?
"What do you mean 'ah'? The Dragon God found herself an incredible man and might've already broken through the God King level. I can't beat her now. If I don't steal her home, what else can I do?" The Crimson Mother glared at Void Worm. Even if Gu Yue hasn't broken through yet, she still wouldn't be a match.
There's only one way to defeat Gu Yue now — steal her home.
Both Tang San and the Crimson Mother had come to this same conclusion.
"The Dragon God has… a man?!" Void Worm felt dizzy. What's going on?
"Oh, I forgot to mention — the current Dragon God isn't the old one." The Crimson Mother explained briefly about Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue, and Xia Yi, then smiled smugly. "In that sense, the Dragon God is still not as good as me. At least I reincarnated successfully. But Gu Yue now can't be called the real Dragon God. With Gu Yue and Xia Yi around, whatever backup the Dragon God left behind is useless. She'll never be resurrected."
No matter how strong she was, the Dragon God was still just a God King — albeit a supreme one.But retaking her powers from Gu Yue? Impossible.
"In that case, my lord, I know a few God Beasts still loyal to you. Some are in deep sleep hiding their aura, others have reincarnated to avoid the Dragon God and the God Realm Committee. I can locate them — should I call them back to support us?" Void Worm was thrilled. The Crimson Mother had returned and found the key to surpass God King — this called for a celebration.
"No need. Not everyone has your space travel ability. By the time they arrive, it'll be too late. Let's steal her home first. Once it's done, we'll notify them." The Crimson Mother grabbed Void Worm and rose into the starry sky. With a motion of her hand, she activated the World Pearl, slowly storing the entire massive Crimson Domain into it.
If someone had seen this moment, even those beyond the God King level would go mad with envy.
A super divine artifact that could store an entire world — who wouldn't desire that?
"Let's go! Time to steal her home, take everything she has! I want to tell the Dragon God — tell Gu Yue — that the Phoenix God is back! Heh, I want to see her grit her teeth in fury." The Crimson Mother — or rather, Phoenix God — laughed triumphantly. Even if Gu Yue wasn't the real Dragon God, the Dragon God had caused the destruction of too many God Beasts. She had to let out this rage.
"Yeah! Let's steal her home! Steal her man! Make her grit her teeth!" Void Worm shouted excitedly.
The Phoenix God froze for a moment. After a while, she smacked Void Worm on the head, scolding: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Didn't you say to steal Gu Yue's home and everything she has?" Void Worm said aggrievedly, "The Origin of Creation is her big home, her man is her small home. And didn't you say she cares most about him? If we're stealing, we should take what she cares about most. You even said her man is an amazing guy — of course we should steal the good stuff."
The Phoenix God's eyes lit up instantly, her whole being energized. "Makes sense! Give me the coordinates — quick! Activate spatial travel! If we're late, not even the soup will be left!"
A ripple flashed from Void Worm's body, and the next moment, they both vanished. When they reappeared, they were already at the edge of Creation Origin.
Seeing the nearby Origin Realm, a sly smile crept onto the Phoenix God's lips — as if she could already picture Gu Yue's furious expression.
Stealing her man? Well… it was mostly to annoy Gu Yue.
"It really is a powerful God Realm… Wait — my lord, there's a God King battle happening inside?" Void Worm frowned as it sensed the surging energy within — the fight had reached its climax.
"Looks like we can't steal the home… we'll have to help Gu Yue defend it instead," the Phoenix God raised her head toward the distant starry sky and made a face as bitter as death.
From the deep void, a blood-red beam shot across the sky, heading straight for the Creation Origin.
"Asura God…" Void Worm stiffened. It glanced at the Phoenix God with clear displeasure.The battle inside the Origin had reached a critical point. If another God King entered now, it would tip the scales completely.
In this situation, they had no choice but to help defend the Genesis Origin.
After all, the Genesis Origin Realm was key to the Phoenix God's breakthrough beyond God King.
For that reason alone — they had to protect it.
