Chapter 626: You're an Undercover Agent, Aren't You?

Others might not know about the World Pearl, but as a powerful figure of the Divine Realm Committee, how could they not?

The World Pearl was a divine artifact crafted by the Phoenix God using all her life's creative energy.

It contained her entire understanding of the Law of Creation.

Legend has it that the Phoenix God forged the World Pearl with the intention of creating a divine realm inside it that could rival the Douluo Divine Realm.

In that way, divine beasts could completely separate themselves from the Douluo Divine Realm.

Unfortunately, before she could complete her Divine Beast Divine Realm, she encountered the Dragon God.

This is also why the World Pearl was able to absorb the entire Crimson Domain.

Inside the World Pearl is essentially a half-finished divine realm.

It's a top-tier super artifact—even the Dragon God couldn't fully control it.

And yet now, it hovers obediently before a God King wielding evil powers.

"That's only because you think it's impossible," the Phoenix God sneered, aiming to stop the God of Kindness's self-detonation from damaging the Genesis Origin.

The best way to stop it was, of course, to devour all the energy from the self-detonation.

Devouring power—that was the Crimson Domain's specialty.

Naturally, she would use the Crimson Domain's devouring ability.

As the energy from the God of Kindness' self-detonation diminished, the Phoenix God's purple-red wings slowly revealed feather after feather under her control.

The Power of Creation revived from deep within her soul, flowing throughout her body, and in an instant, the evil aura around her vanished completely.

"You... you are the Phoenix God... You've resurrected."The God of Evil stared in shock. Though her reincarnated appearance had changed, this aura was unmistakable.

"Phoenix God…"The Nine Dragon Kings and Di Tian also stared blankly at her sudden appearance.

Gu Yue had long been searching for the Phoenix God, hoping to retrieve the Dragon Ascension Pillar.

Who would've thought—the Phoenix God had been on the Douluo Plane all along.

She had even almost become Gu Yue's junior sister.

"Surprised?"The Phoenix God waved her hand, and Tian Sheng Lie Yuan, which had been in Di Tian's hand, flew into her grasp.

"That's right, I am the Phoenix God—the one killed by the Dragon God. Now, I am the Crimson Mother of the Crimson Domain. The Abyssal Plane is a part of the Crimson Domain, and the Abyssal Lord was created by me. Call me 'Mother.'"

She then looked at the Nine Dragon Kings with the divine weapon in hand and said coldly:

"The grudge between the Dragon God and the Phoenix God, plus your grudge against the Abyssal Lord—tell me, how should we settle this?"

"Phoenix God, you may not know, but the Dragon God has also been resurrected. All of them here are his people. If I were you, I'd kill them all and destroy this divine realm to take revenge!"The God of Evil stirred the pot.

With Di Tian and the Nine Dragon Kings already severely wounded, if the Phoenix God struck now, the entire Divine Beast Realm would be doomed.

"I don't need your advice."The Phoenix God snorted coldly. A pillar of light descended, immediately imprisoning the God of Evil on the spot.

Looking at the Phoenix God, Di Tian took a deep breath and gritted his teeth:

"Senior, we acknowledge the Dragon God's wrongdoing. But the Abyssal Lord invaded the Douluo Plane first and was killed by soul beasts. He got what he deserved—it's not our fault."

"Fine, I accept that. But without the power of the Abyssal Plane, the Genesis Origin would never have emerged. Since that's the case, I now declare the Genesis Origin is mine. Any objections?"She said it calmly.

"Impossible!"

Di Tian raised his head, staring straight at her.

"If you want revenge on the dragon clan, even if you kill me, I have no complaint. But if you dare touch the Genesis Origin, even if I know I'm no match, I'll fight to the death!"

"What? Want to blow yourself up like the God of Kindness? Don't be ridiculous. That didn't hurt me—yours won't either."The Phoenix God sneered, turning to the Space Worm beside her. It raised its hand and pointed at the air, opening a spatial portal.

Through that portal, the Phoenix God reached out, and above Shrek City on the Douluo Plane, a giant hand appeared out of nowhere.

At the ruins of Tang Sect, now home to the Blood God Legion, the Mirror Douluo, its commander and an Ultimate Douluo, was meditating when his hand grabbed him. No one in the legion even had time to react.

The next moment, Mirror Douluo appeared within the Genesis Origin.

"Wha… what is this place?"Sensing the terrifying auras all around him, Mirror Douluo was stunned.

"Come out. I know you're still alive."The Phoenix God said indifferently.

"You… Mother?"

Mirror Douluo's martial spirit involuntarily activated, and from within the Mirror Spirit, a shadow emerged—it was the Abyssal Lord.

He hadn't truly died back then—a fragment of his divine sense escaped and hid within Mirror Douluo's spirit.

Seeing the Phoenix God, the Abyssal Lord hesitated—her aura now was so different from the Crimson Mother he remembered.

"So desperate to escape from the Crimson Domain? Escape from me?"The Phoenix God asked softly.

"I wouldn't dare."The Abyssal Lord immediately kneeled on one knee.

"Wouldn't dare? You notified me last—asking me to clean up your mess."She snorted.

"Now I give you three choices.

One: I sever all ties between us and throw you into the universe. From then on, we're done. Whether you're killed or create a new Abyssal Plane is your own business.

Two: I break my control over you and reincarnate you. You'll no longer be an abyssal creature, and your future path is your own.

Three: I let you remain free and help you rebuild the Abyssal Plane, but you must never invade other realms again."

"You're serious?"The Abyssal Lord's eyes lit up.

The Crimson Domain and Abyssal Plane both suffered from absolute top-down control: if a controller died, all underlings would perish too.

There were hundreds of such planes in the Crimson Domain. If the Crimson Mother died, everything would die with her.

This was why even the other half-step God Kings in the Crimson Domain never dared to rebel.

The Abyssal Lord had long wanted to break free and ascend beyond God King level.

Now, without her restrictions, the whole universe could be his playground.

"You think I'm lying?"

The Crimson Mother raised an eyebrow.

"I wouldn't dare," he said hastily. "I just wonder why Mother would do this?"

"Because I've already become a God King—and soon, I'll surpass even that. I've created my own Divine Realm and Divine Star. You were once part of me, and you helped me in the past. This is your reward. Also… the universe now has multiple beings who have surpassed even God King level."

"More than one?"

The Abyssal Lord was shocked—if such beings targeted him, he'd be utterly destroyed.

"I choose three! I will forever be loyal to Mother."He immediately pledged allegiance.

He wasn't foolish—if the Phoenix God was already beyond God King level, she was now one of the strongest beings in the universe.

"Fine. I'll help you rebuild the Abyssal Plane. But from now on, it will serve as a training ground for my Divine Star's people."

The Phoenix God declared. This was a concept she'd learned from Leng Yaozhu.

Leng Yaozhu had planned to turn the Demon Plane into a training ground for the Douluo Plane. So, the Phoenix God would do the same with the Abyssal Plane—make it a secret training realm for the Origin of Creation.

Though she was never formally Leng Yaozhu's disciple, Leng had always treated her as a confidante and shared her plans for the future Divine Realm.

Even without taking the Divine Beast Realm by force, the Phoenix God knew she'd always have a place in Leng's future Divine Realm.

"I obey, Mother."The Abyssal Lord bowed respectfully.

The Phoenix God raised her hand, and the Crimson Domain, sealed within the World Pearl, began to manifest.

"The Crimson Domain is about to disband. Everything I just told him applies to all of you as well. Choose."

"I choose two, Mother!"

"I choose three, Mother!"

"Three, Mother!"

"Two, Mother!"

...

The Crimson Domain's powerhouses all knew she was using their strength to boost the Origin of Creation into a Divine Star.

Some chose reincarnation, hoping to escape their cursed identity.

Others were unwilling to give up their power and chose to become trial guardians within the Origin of Creation.

No one chose the first option—cutting ties and surviving alone in the universe was too dangerous, especially with God Kings and beyond out there.

"The Crimson Domain is no more. I am no longer the Crimson Mother. From this day on, don't call me Mother. You are all free."Her gaze was complicated.

From her perspective, they were all guilty of countless slaughtering. But it had been her commands that sent them across the universe to devour.

If anyone deserved to die, it was her.

If she were still the Crimson Mother, she wouldn't hesitate to devour them and absorb their strength.

But now, she was the Phoenix God, not the Crimson Mother. She couldn't bring herself to slaughter those who had loyally followed her.

After everyone made their choice, she sacrificed the World Pearl, communicating with the rules of the Origin of Creation, trying to seize control of its divine core.

"The Ocean Cauldron and Sky Cauldron are no longer the core? Gu Yue and the Demon Emperor must be in serious trouble. I have to speed up."

Only the Earth Cauldron from Xia Yi remained.

This made her anxious—if Gu Yue couldn't handle it, neither could she alone.

She had to break through to the beyond God King fast and assist before Gu Yue lost.

She wasn't fond of Gu Yue as the "Dragon God,"—but she knew this battle determined everything.

If they lost, they all died, and the Genesis Origin, the divine realm of beasts, would be destroyed.

As the former Beastmaster, she knew public duty came before personal grudges.

"Open—!"She shouted. The Crimson Domain split, pouring energy into the Origin of Creation.

"Not enough—again!"Inside the World Pearl, her prototype divine realm emerged—she shattered it immediately, turning it into pure life energy.

Then, a blood-colored figure appeared, bound—God of Shura, who had passed his godhood to Tang San, had been captured en route.

Chains of divine order surged into him, drawing out his power.

At the same time, the God of Evil, slain by Di Tian, was also being drained.

The Phoenix God spread her wings and released all the power she had absorbed from the God of Kindness, feeding it into the Origin of Creation.

"Phoenix God! We helped you get revenge—we killed the Dragon God! And now you betray us?! You'll die horribly!"

Shura and Evil Gods roared, struggling—but even self-detonation was no longer possible.

"Hmph! Help me? Do you think I'm a fool? Don't think I didn't know it was YOU who led the Dragon God to me. You always intended to eliminate me and the divine beasts."She sneered, slicing them down with the Crimson Moon Blade.

As the Beastmaster, she had long seen through their scheme—bring the Dragon God to Douluo, let him fight her, and the Divine Realm Committee would reap the benefits.

That's why she chose death back then—because she knew they wanted her gone.

Having dealt with them, she turned to the Crimson Domain's remaining powerhouses. With a wave of her hand, those who had chosen to remain and become trial guardians scattered like streaks of light across the Origin of Creation…

Some even left the Genesis Origin and entered the various planes under its jurisdiction.

Those Crimson Domain powerhouses who chose reincarnation all sat cross-legged, actively releasing the last of their power, merging it into the Genesis Origin.

The Phoenix God once again raised the World Pearl, completely erasing their memories. With a wave of her hand, she sent their soul origins into different planes.

After all this was done, everyone could feel a monumental transformation occurring within the Genesis Origin. Even Di Tian felt as if he might be able to break through a second time.

Although he couldn't directly surpass the God King level, further refining and improving his God King cultivation was no problem at all.

The Phoenix God hovered in the sky, her aura undergoing a complete transformation. The presence of the Crimson Mother had completely vanished from her.

Just moments ago, she had transformed all the Crimson Mother's remaining power into life energy to aid the Genesis Origin's breakthrough.

Now, she had completely abandoned her previous idea of using the fusion of two opposing laws to surpass the God King level.

Within the Hetu Luoshu, she had comprehended a method to elevate the Law of Creation itself to the level above God King.

In other words, she only needed the Law of Creation alone to break through beyond the God King level.

Under the watchful eyes of the many powerhouses of the Genesis Origin, the Phoenix God suddenly opened her eyes, releasing a world-shaking aura that swept across everything. All living beings in the Genesis Origin felt the soul-piercing pressure.

In the next moment, the Phoenix God's figure vanished directly from within the Genesis Origin.

At the same time, in the starry sky beyond the Divine Ring, Xia Yi held a golden longsword, nine cauldron phantoms floating around him as he struck toward Zeus.

Boom! Zeus was shattered in both mind and spirit. Xia Yi's nine cauldron phantoms descended from the heavens, carrying vast power to suppress him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Poseidon's Sea God avatar, even larger than the Divine Ring, pressed down relentlessly. Countless planets were enveloped by his oceanic power, which surged toward Xia Yi like a vast tidal wave.

Xia Yi's divine body swung its fists, merging various techniques—Insulation Claw, Demon-Repelling Strike, Moonward Palm, and Calm-Sea Staff—into a single blow. Poseidon staggered backward, hair disheveled, even his two-piece Sea God Trident almost slipping from his grasp.

Poseidon quickly retreated. Half of his body had been cracked by Xia Yi's blow, releasing bursts of divine light in the starry sky.

At that moment, spatial ripples appeared beside Xia Yi. The Phoenix God appeared behind him.

Seeing her, Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses.

"It was you who stole the Genesis Origin. You hid well, didn't you? Just who are you really?" Xia Yi ground his teeth. His Earth Cauldron was one of the core centers of the Genesis Origin's divine realm—he had sensed the changes long ago.

He just hadn't expected the one behind it all to be the Crimson one—who had almost become his half-senior sister.

"Let's deal with these two first. We'll talk later!" The Phoenix God raised an elegant brow and didn't explain. Having just broken through beyond the God King level, she charged confidently toward the already-suppressed Zeus.

Now, she was one of the Genesis Origin's new masters, just like the former Gu Yue Demon Emperor, and had descended beside Xia Yi through his Earth Cauldron.

She knew the battle was already at its peak. Having just broken through, she rushed over without delay.

"Watch out!" Xia Yi shouted in warning—but it was already too late.

Boom! Boom!

Golden lightning surged from the void, turning the entire starry sky into a golden sea.

Xia Yi punched rapidly, and with the Insulation Claw, he forcibly erased all the golden lightning around the Phoenix God.

But a bolt had already struck her shoulder. Despite circulating all her divine power, a portion of it still entered her body, madly devouring her strength.

The Phoenix God was shocked. She had once been the Crimson Mother, growing strong by devouring—but she now realized that compared to this golden lightning, her devouring power was like a firefly to the full moon.

In just an instant, she felt as if even her soul was being consumed.

"Moonward Palm!" Xia Yi struck with his palm, forcefully severing the connection between the lightning and Zeus.

Moonward Palm—a strike that severs all connections!

"Creation—Nirvana!" Zeus roared. Originally shattered by Xia Yi, suppressed and worn down, his weakening aura suddenly surged back to strength.

So much so that the nine cauldron phantoms wavered.

The Phoenix God's post-God King Law of Creation, combined with her Nirvana power, was a massive tonic for him.

If Xia Yi hadn't reacted in time with the Moonward Palm, Zeus might have instantly recovered to his peak state from their first clash.

"You're a mole, aren't you?" Xia Yi gritted his teeth, looking at the Phoenix God with deep frustration.

"I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know he was that strong." The Phoenix God's face was pale. She didn't understand why, despite both being beyond God King level, she had suffered such a heavy loss so quickly.

"Go help Yue'er. Leave this to me," Xia Yi said as he fully activated the nine cauldron phantoms and smashed out another Calm-Sea Staff strike, forcing Poseidon back.

Xia Yi had already sensed that, in the Divine Ring, besides Gu Yue, Tang San had also broken through to the level beyond God King.

Although he trusted Gu Yue, Tang San had once been guided by Poseidon. Xia Yi was worried Gu Yue might suffer a setback.

"Alright!" The Phoenix God knew staying would only drag Xia Yi down, so she turned and flew toward the Divine Ring.
