Chapter 49: The Universe Reacts – A Power Beyond Heaven
"The Abyss has fallen. The Dao has shattered. What remains?"
---
The Celestial Realms Tremble
Across the infinite cosmos, from the highest celestial palaces to the deepest forbidden realms—
They all felt it.
The shift.
The moment Xiao Tian remade existence, the very foundation of the universe changed.
Those who had once ruled as gods, demons, immortals—they all sensed the new force.
The True Supreme Law.
And they understood one thing:
A new order had begun.

The Supreme Celestial Lord's Silence
Still kneeling, the Supreme Celestial Lord felt hollow.
For eternity, he had believed in an absolute truth.
That the cycle of creation and destruction was eternal.
That the Dao and the Abyss were two halves of a perfect balance.
That he—the ruler of the Heavens—stood at the peak.
But now, before him, stood a being beyond that peak.
A being who had erased the Abyss and reshaped the concept of existence itself.
And the worst part?
Xiao Tian had done it effortlessly.
The Supreme Celestial Lord clenched his fists, his voice trembling.
"Then… what am I now?"
His title, his power, his very purpose—meaningless.
The thought made him feel… small.
And for the first time in his eternal life—he doubted himself.

The Divine Beings Watch
In the Divine Pantheon of the Upper Heavens…
A hundred celestial gods sat in their golden thrones, watching through divine mirrors.
They had never bowed to any ruler, not even the Supreme Celestial Lord.
But now—
They watched Xiao Tian.
And in their hearts, a fear they had never known took root.
A god with a thousand arms whispered:
"He is not bound by the Dao."
A goddess with galaxies in her eyes trembled:
"He is beyond balance. He is beyond fate."
A being with no name—one who had existed since the dawn of time—slowly bowed his head.
"We… are no longer the rulers of this world."
And then, for the first time in history—
The Pantheon of Gods knelt.
Not in submission.
Not in worship.
But in acknowledgment.
Because they understood:
Xiao Tian was no longer their equal.
He was their new reality.

The Forbidden Sects Take Action
Far beyond the heavens, in the hidden lands where even gods dared not tread, the Forbidden Sects awoke.
These were not simple cultivators.
They were those who had long abandoned the Dao, seeking paths outside the heavens' grasp.
And now, they saw an opportunity.
In a dark temple where even light could not shine, an ancient voice whispered:
"If he is no longer bound… then perhaps we, too, can be free."
In a blood-stained hall, a sect master of a forgotten lineage laughed.
"A world without limits?"
"Let us see how far we can rise."
The world had changed.
And some saw it as a threat.
But others… saw it as the ultimate opportunity.

Xiao Tian's First Words as a True Supreme
Standing at the center of existence, Xiao Tian closed his eyes.
He could feel everything.
Not just Qi. Not just laws.
But the very flow of reality itself.
With a thought, he could erase the concept of death.
With a whisper, he could make time irrelevant.
But he did none of these things.
Instead, he looked down at the Supreme Celestial Lord—
And smiled.
"You once ruled the heavens."
"But I never wanted to rule."
He turned his gaze to the stars, to the infinite cosmos now at his command.
And he made his decision.
His voice echoed across all existence.
"I will not be a god."
"I will not be a ruler."
"I am simply Xiao Tian."
"And this is my world now."
The universe shuddered.
Because for the first time in history—
It belonged to someone.
