Celestial Realm – The Hall of Supreme Gods
A thunderous roar shook the divine palace.
Seated on thrones of celestial flames, the Supreme Gods watched in horror as Lucian's Domain of Life and Death consumed divine cultivators like a bottomless abyss.
The Elder God of Judgment slammed his fist down.
"This mortal… dares to defy us?! He is becoming a true calamity!"
Another god, cloaked in shimmering cosmic robes, narrowed his eyes.
"His power is growing too fast. If he expands that domain further… even the Celestial Realm will be in danger."
The gods fell silent, dread creeping into their divine hearts.
Lucian Valcrest had done the unthinkable—he had turned the gods themselves into prey.

Immortal Realm – The Domain of Life and Death
BOOM!
A pillar of black and golden energy erupted, shaking the heavens.
Lucian hovered above his battlefield, his expression unreadable as he gazed at the corpses of divine cultivators writhing in agony within his domain.
He lifted his hand.
The corpses rose as death knights, their eyes burning with divine resentment, yet bound by Lucian's will.
[Villain System Notification!]
You have absorbed Divine Soul Fragments!
You have unlocked a new ability: [Divine Marionette]!
Your Domain has expanded by 1,000 meters!
You have gained 5,000 Villain Points!
Lucian's smile sharpened.
"Gods, huh? Let's see how long you last against me."

The Supreme Gods' Decision
In the Celestial Realm, the Supreme Gods grimly stared at the battlefield.
The Goddess of Fate sighed.
"We must intervene before he truly becomes a God Slayer."
With that, a golden rift split the skies—
And a Supreme God descended into the Immortal Realm!
The battle of mortals and gods had truly begun!
