Chapter 78:The Grand Finale: The Throne of Creation, Unifying All Ages! (Thank you for your support!)
His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed his current mood.
Becoming a god.
This was the ultimate goal that countless soul masters on the Douluo Continent would never dare to dream of in their entire lives.
Even those as talented as Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had exhausted their life's blood for that elusive godhood, only to end up like that.
And now, this opportunity to achieve eternal life was laid out before him so casually.
Simply because... the man before him considered him a brother.
"Old monster..."
Dugu Bo's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of sob. He didn't say anything pretentious like "too precious to accept."
Their friendship had long since transcended the boundaries of life and death.
The kindness of curing the poison back then, the friendship that transcended age, and now the act of bestowing a godhood.
This sentiment was as heavy as Mount Tai, far beyond what a simple "thank you" could convey.
"Alright! Since it's from you, I'll accept it!"
Dugu Bo suddenly raised his head, all hesitation vanishing from his eyes, replaced by unprecedented determination and fervor.
"Since you've become the ruler of this world, then this old bone of mine, even if it costs me my life, will strive to become the God of Poison!
From now on, whoever dares to touch you, will first have to ask my poison for permission!"
With that, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated, forcefully extending his withered hand and grabbing the ball of eerie green divine light!
Boom—!!!
The instant Dugu Bo's hand touched the divine light, an indescribable, terrifying poison erupted, surging wildly through his arm and into every part of his body!
"Ugh—!!!"
Even Dugu Bo, a lifelong connoisseur of poisons and accustomed to pain, couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.
This was not merely an infusion of soul power, but a leap in the level of life, a painful reshaping of a mortal body into a divine one!
The once tranquil Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire instantly boiled over!
Centered on Dugu Bo, a towering emerald-green poisonous mist exploded forth, threatening to engulf the entire valley in an instant. This poisonous mist contained the power of laws; if it were to spread, perhaps not even an ant would survive within a radius of a thousand miles.
"Stop."
Yu Jingcheng, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines, calmly uttered a single word.
His words became law.
The poisonous mist, which had been raging and capable of destroying everything, became as docile as a mouse encountering a cat under the influence of this one word, instantly becoming utterly subdued and firmly suppressed within three zhang of Dugu Bo, unable to advance an inch.
Even the delicate "Fragrant Fairy Flower" beside him remained completely still under Yu Jingcheng's protection, not a single leaf trembling.
"Concentrate and guard your true self."
"This is the fusion process between the Calamity Poison Body and your own Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. Endure it, and you will be reborn."
Yu Jingcheng's voice was steady and powerful, resonating deep within Dugu Bo's consciousness like a stabilizing force, allowing Dugu Bo, struggling in the endless torrent of pain, to retain a sliver of clarity.
"Roar—!!!"
A roar, neither dragon nor serpent, emanated from Dugu Bo's body.
A gigantic, emerald-green serpent phantom appeared behind him.
That was Dugu Bo's Martial Soul, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!
But under the influence of divine power, this once ferocious serpent was undergoing an astonishing transformation.
Its originally emerald green scales began to shimmer and translucent, as if carved from the purest jade. Each scale bore eerie and ancient black patterns—divine runes representing "calamity" and "disaster."
Two fleshy bulges appeared on either side of its neck, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.
Its body swelled, its aura intensified.
Dugu Bo, seated cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, his once aged face, enveloped in green light, began to age visibly.
Wrinkles smoothed, white hair turned black.
The gloom that had long clung to his brow vanished completely, replaced by a divine majesty that held sway over all poisons and disregarded all living beings. As time passed, the green light surrounding Dugu Bo grew stronger, eventually transforming into a gigantic emerald cocoon that completely enveloped him.
Above the cocoon of light, a chilling divine power surged, each pulse like the breath of death.
Yu Jingcheng gazed at the enormous cocoon and nodded in satisfaction.
He could sense that Dugu Bo's aura was steadily rising; though the process was painful, the old stubborn man's willpower was far stronger than he had imagined.
"The day you emerge from your cocoon will be the day the first Poison God of Douluo Continent is born."
Yu Jingcheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the mist of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, looking towards the distant horizon.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had made all the arrangements, and things were also on track with Dugu Bo.
"Next..."
A playful smile curved Yu Jingcheng's lips.
"It's time to go see that 'old friend.'"
After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, time on Douluo Continent seemed to have been accelerated.
The so-called reunion of "old friends" was nothing more than a sigh before the end of an old era.
Before Yu Jingcheng's absolute power, which had long surpassed mortal comprehension, the iron cavalry of the two great empires, the foundation of the Spirit Hall, and the pride of the Clear Sky Sect all melted away like snow under the blazing sun. In just three short years, Yu Jingcheng swept away all obstacles on the continent with overwhelming force.
There were no bloody battles, only the arrival of supreme divine might.
Yu Jingcheng sat atop his divine throne in the clouds, overlooking all living beings; the entire Douluo Star revered him as the "Eternal God Emperor."
But this was only the beginning.
Yu Jingcheng's gaze was never confined to this small corner of Douluo.
"The Heavenly Curtain opens."
On this day, Yu Jingcheng stood at the very top of Douluo Star, beside him stood his beloved wife, a woman of unparalleled beauty and lifelong companionship.
With his command, the mysterious "Celestial Curtain" that had always hung in the sky suddenly erupted with a radiance that made the entire universe tremble.
This radiance did not illuminate space, but rather pierced through the river of time!
Rumble—!!!
Spacetime shattered, cause and effect were rearranged.
Under the horrified gaze of all living beings on the continent, the Celestial Curtain transformed into four towering spacetime vortexes, forcefully pulling out four parallel future timelines from the void of time!
In the first vortex, soul-guided technology was extremely advanced, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared and disappeared in the snow and ice— that was the era of Peerless Tang Sect. In the second vortex, the Abyss Plane roared, the auras of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings intertwined, and Tang Wulin held the Golden Dragon Spear and roared to the sky— that was the era of Legend of the Dragon King.
In the third vortex, interstellar warships blotted out the sun, and Lan Xuanyu piloted a warship through the universe— that was the era of Ultimate Douluo.
In the fourth vortex, the laws of the Fairy Continent were strict, and a reborn God King attempted to reverse the tide—it was the era of the reborn Tang San.
"Four Realms, unified."
Yu Jingcheng's expression was indifferent, his hands clenched as if grasping the lifeline of the entire universe.
The power of the Heavenly Canopy was pushed to its limit, a "narrative-level" power that transcended all laws.
Amidst the gasps of countless powerful figures, the four different dimensions of Douluo Star, along with the original main world, began an irreversible fusion!
Soul-guided technology clashed with ancient soul skills, abyssal creatures clashed with interstellar fleets, but under Yu Jingcheng's will, all conflicts were instantly smoothed over.
Continental plates joined together with a roar, oceans expanded with a howling, the planet's volume surged wildly, and the spiritual energy concentration increased more than ten thousandfold!
The original Douluo Star, at this moment, evolved into an unprecedented—God-Demon Ancestral Star!
All the God Kings, whether Tang San, Huo Yuhao, or other supreme powerhouses from other eras, discovered this in horror.
Their pride in their divine power paled in comparison to the two figures in the sky, like fireflies before the moon.
"This is the moment,"
Yu Jingcheng said, turning to his wife beside him, his eyes filled with tenderness.
His wife returned a gentle smile, their hands clasped tightly.
At this moment, they needed no more words.
The power within them, already at its breaking point, finally broke through the final, and highest, shackle under the scouring of the vast world origin created by the merging of the four realms!
Boom—!!!
A nine-colored divine light, indescribable in words, shot into the sky from their bodies, instantly illuminating the newly merged universe.
The sounds of the Great Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth, countless golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air, dragons and phoenixes appeared, and all things rejoiced.
This was not the birth of a God-King, but the descent of a Creator God!
The five supreme divine laws that originally controlled the God Realm trembled at this moment, then submitted and shattered, reforming into the higher, more perfect "Jingcheng Law."
Yu Jingcheng and his wife both ascended to the level of Creator Gods!
They were no longer bound by any rules, for they themselves were the rules.
Yu Jingcheng slowly opened his eyes; his left eye held the past, his right eye the future. Wherever his gaze fell, all things grew, and the Milky Way reversed.
He looked down at the vast, boundless new continent that had merged five eras.
There, Dugu Bo had become the Lord of Poison, guarding a region; there, powerful figures from different eras had set aside their differences and begun to explore higher realms under the new order; there, the oppression of the mortal realm by the divine realm was gone, and everyone had the opportunity to become a god.
"It's over, but it's also a new beginning."
Yu Jingcheng gently embraced his wife, standing atop the universe, with billions of stars behind him and ancient rivers and mountains beneath his feet.
In this long river of time, he had finally rewritten all regrets, holding all the heavens and myriad worlds in his palm.
