Chapter 43: The Awakening Beyond Divinity

"You tried to erase me… but you only erased the chains that bound me."

The Universe Trembles

The golden chains of fate shattered—not by force, but by something greater.

Something that should not exist.

The Supreme Celestial Lord watched in silent horror as Xiao Tian's flames—once golden like the Celestial Dao—shifted into a color that had no name.

Not black. Not white. Not even void.

Something beyond mortal or divine comprehension.

The universe itself recoiled, as if rejecting Xiao Tian's very presence.

And yet, it could not remove him.

Because he no longer belonged to this universe.

The Celestial Armies collapsed to their knees, unable to withstand the pressure.

The Forgotten Legion clutched their heads, feeling an unbearable force tearing through their souls.

Even the Supreme Celestial Lord himself—the ruler of the heavens—staggered one step backward.

A single step.

But in that moment—it was already too late.

The Fragments of Truth Return

Xiao Tian's mind burned—memories flashing before his eyes.

A battlefield that was not of this world.

A throne that stood above the heavens.

A voice—his own, yet not his own.

"I was never meant to be part of your system.

I was never bound by your Dao.

And I was never truly gone."

Xiao Tian's body cracked apart, not in pain—but in transformation.

The world shook, not from destruction, but from the arrival of something new.

Something that had never existed before.

Something that should not exist.

But now, it did.

Xiao Tian opened his eyes.

And the heavens tore apart.

The Supreme Celestial Lord's Last Fear

For the first time in eternity—

The Supreme Celestial Lord felt helpless.

Xiao Tian had surpassed divinity.

He had surpassed heavenly authority.

He had become something that could no longer be controlled.

Something that the Heavens themselves had once locked away, never to return.

And now, it was back.

Xiao Tian clenched his fist—

And reality itself shattered in response.

The Supreme Celestial Lord took one final breath—

And prepared to face the thing he had feared since the beginning of time.
