"There are actually fish that can leap out of the predetermined River of Destiny. Has the unchanging fate finally reached a turning point?"
Just as Zod was steadily crossing the threshold of the Saint realm, a low murmur came from a mysterious maze garden outside the Domain of the Gods.
A figure wearing a hood and a brown robe was slowly pacing. In his hand, he held a thick book chained to his wrist.
At his feet were countless branching paths. His eyes were blind, yet he could discern where each path led.
He is Destiny, the literal Incarnation of a supreme concept, and the eldest among the Endless Family.
The book in his hand is the Book of Destiny, containing the past, present, and future of all creations in the entire DC Universe.
He knows everything but does not deliberately interfere with the development of things, because everything has its destiny. Therefore, he just calmly and indifferently watches everything unfold according to its predetermined fate.
Originally, in his view, everything in the entire DC Universe was destined for its ultimate outcome from the moment of its birth.
But in a certain world, a person whose fate should have been predetermined began to gradually break free from the shackles of destiny, which couldn't help but draw a flicker of his attention.
However, that was all. He had no intention of intervening to correct anything, because this might also be another trajectory of destiny.
Zod naturally didn't know that he had been noticed by some mysterious big shot!
But even if he did know, he wouldn't take it to heart, because he himself was very clear that from the moment of his rise, this was an inevitable matter.
At this moment, Zod was undergoing a brand-new transformation. Every inch of his flesh and blood, and even every strand of his hair, was condensed with powerful Law power.
No wonder a single drop of a Saint's blood can crush thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a single strand of hair can slay a mighty being, and a single gaze can dim the stars.
But he felt that his Cultivation direction seemed to have diverged somewhat from the Shrouding the Heavens World system.
When he first stepped into Immortal Three Severing Dao, he did indeed sever the obsession of his previous life, and even cut out his Dao Self Incarnation, but he did not sever his connection with this Universe.
In fact, due to the Talismanic Incantation, his connection with this Universe became even closer.
Moreover, according to the rules of the Shrouding the Heavens World, when a Cultivator touches the threshold of the Saint Dao, the entire world will generate a repulsive reaction, thereby bringing down a world-destroying tribulation.
Yet, not only did he not suffer a tribulation, but the current situation was completely the Universe helping him achieve Dao.
Originally, Zod was still a bit unclear about what was going on, but as he received more and more of the Universe's gifts, he finally understood!
This was actually the Universe instinctively saving itself. Although it did not possess true self-awareness, it did have a pervasive consciousness that could foresee the arrival of crisis.
Now, Zod was the chosen one, and if the original timeline had not changed, the one chosen by the Universe would have been Superman.
"So, it was I who changed all of this. It was I who caused Superman to lose his core position in this Universe, and thus I replaced him!"
"Very well, let me experience what it's like to be a true Son of Destiny!"
After understanding this, Zod had no more reservations and fully accepted the infusion of the Universe's star power.
The power within him began to experience explosive growth, and these stellar lights also activated some of his other innate abilities as a Super Kryptonian.
This included, but was not limited to, changing his body size, projecting his biological force field, creating stellar projections, and even temporarily bestowing all Kryptonian innate abilities upon any living being... As time passed, many interstellar fleets had begun to slowly gather millions of kilometers outside the area of his Breakthrough, coming to investigate.
They could not get any closer, because a powerful force made it almost impossible for their ships to move an inch.
"All the light emitted by the stars is converging here. Could it be that some Universe treasure is about to appear?"
"To be able to command the energy of so many stars, perhaps it is some powerful weapon. If our Casilia Empire can obtain it, we can become a true Star Domain overlord."
"This once-in-a-millennium opportunity must not be seized by other Empires first!"
Before determining exactly what was appearing this time, the fleets of these Empires remained relatively stable among themselves.
After all, fighting to the death for an unknown object was extremely unwise.
Just as everyone harbored their own ulterior motives, a brilliant Green Lantern light emerged from a space wormhole.
"It's the Green Lantern Corps. Have the Guardians of the Universe also set their sights on this treasure that is about to appear?"
The Green Lantern Corps, while not much to true Universe overlord-level powers like Apokolips or New Genesis, was undoubtedly synonymous with power in the eyes of ordinary interstellar forces.
Even with the strict Lantern Corps Law, they had, more or less, interacted with these Green Lanterns over the past years.
"It's terrifying. All the Laws in this area have been twisted. Even a slight leakage of this violent energy is enough to destroy a star system."
Malthus immediately learned the situation of the current area through the Lantern Ring's scan of the surroundings.
He tried to construct a protective barrier to cross this area and head towards Zod's central position.
But after flying only tens of thousands of kilometers, his willpower could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure.
Soon, dozens more Green Lanterns arrived one after another, and this situation made the major interstellar Empires even more helpless.
They knew in their hearts that with the Green Lantern Corps present, even if some Universe treasure did appear, it wouldn't be their turn.
At this moment, one of the Green Lanterns asked, "Malthus, what's the situation?"
"The closer to the center, the more violent the energy, and there seems to be an even more terrifying will within it. I couldn't withstand the impact of that will just by getting a little closer."
Hearing his companion's question, Malthus immediately spoke with a bitter tone on his face.
This statement made the other Green Lanterns somewhat incredulous.
After all, they themselves were the strongest-willed individuals chosen by the Guardians from across the entire Universe, and with the added boost of the Lantern Ring, how could they possibly lose in terms of willpower.
So, the other Green Lanterns, not believing it, also began to try, but without exception, they all had the same result.
"At present, we can only combine our will energy and try again!"
Hearing this, all the Green Lanterns nodded in agreement.
Immediately, dozens of Green Lantern lights interwoven and fused together, constructing an even stronger and purer will barrier that flew forward.
This time, before they could get any closer, Zod's Breakthrough was complete.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, the golden light in his eyes streaked across hundreds of millions of miles of the Star River, eclipsing all the light emitted by the stars!
Behind him, an unimaginably vast anomaly appeared, like an Immortal King descending upon the world, solemn and sacred, and the entire Star River flowed within his palm.
