"Xuan Ming!"
For the first time, a violent fluctuation appeared on Gu Yuena's beautiful face. She clearly felt Xuan Ming's divine soul being torn by countless Dragon Souls, and that condensing Godhead prototype was also shaking violently, on the verge of collapse.
If this continued, he would not only fail to become a god but might even have his divine soul destroyed, assimilated by the Dragon Tomb, and become part of these countless resentful souls!
She couldn't wait any longer!
She gritted her teeth, a flash of determination crossing her eyes.
Raising her jade-like hand, a crystal radiating a nine-colored halo and containing indescribably vast energy and Law fluctuations slowly emerged—the heart of the dragon god!
This final Super Divine Artifact of the Dragon Clan represented the crystallization of the Dragon God's authority and power, and was also the key to the birth of a new Dragon God.
However, the heart of the dragon god also contained extreme danger. It required a truly complete Dragon God Bloodline to be wielded.
Gu Yuena inherited the Silver Dragon King's power, but she lacked the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline essence.
If she forcibly absorbed it, the result was almost predictable.
It wouldn't be her controlling the heart of the dragon god; instead, she would be backlashed and devoured by the complex power within the heart of the dragon god belonging to the Dragon God's complete will, becoming nourishment for this Super Divine Artifact, waiting for the next possible successor with a more complete Bloodline.
However, looking at the figure in the center of Dragon Valley who was struggling amidst the backlash of thousands of Dragon Souls, his aura becoming increasingly chaotic, there was no hesitation in Gu Yuena's eyes.
She remembered the Ice Dragon King's entrustment when he handed Xuan Ming over to her before dissipating.
She remembered the promise she had made.
"When necessary... I will give everything."
The whisper dissipated in the wind of the Dragon Tomb.
The next moment, Gu Yuena no longer hesitated. She poured her own Silver Dragon King's Origin power into the heart of the dragon god without reservation, while guiding that nine-colored crystal to slowly merge into her brow!
"Boom—!"
An indescribable, terrifying energy fluctuation erupted instantly. Nine-colored divine light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Dragon Tomb in brilliance!
The heart of the dragon god was truly activated, and the Supreme Laws belonging to the Dragon God began to manifest. That vast pressure even temporarily suppressed the rioting Dragon Souls!
However, Gu Yuena's face also turned pale instantly, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She could clearly feel her consciousness and her Origin being frantically pulled and devoured by the even more ancient, larger, and more violent will within the heart of the dragon god!
That Supreme Will belonging to the Dragon God was forcibly eroding her divine soul, intending to assimilate her!
In the center of Dragon Valley, Xuan Ming suddenly looked up.
When he saw that beautiful figure on the distant mountain peak, enveloped in nine-colored divine light but with an aura weakening rapidly like a flickering candle in the wind, an unprecedented tremor tore through his divine soul, far more intense and real than the biting of the surrounding thousands of Dragon Souls!
The power within him, which had been fluctuating violently due to the Dragon Soul backlash, was completely ignited at this moment by a more extreme and colder emotion!
It wasn't anger, nor despair, but a kind of... absolute, unquestionable negation!
Negating the possibility of her sacrificing herself for him!
Negating the ending that was unfolding before his eyes!
"Buzz—!"
Inside Xuan Ming's body, the Godhead prototype, which had been struggling and on the verge of collapse under the impact of the five God Kings' wills and the backlash of thousands of Dragon Souls, seemed to receive some ultimate stimulus and suddenly erupted with an unprecedented light!
Not ice blue, not blood red, not dark purple, not platinum, nor emerald green... but a pure white that was extreme to the limit, as if it contained all things yet negated everything!
Extreme light is also extreme void!
This light instantly swept out with Xuan Ming as the center!
This light was not warm, but carried a sense of absolute 'stillness' and 'order'.
It did not disperse the desolation of the Dragon Tomb, nor did it purify the resentment of the Dragon Souls, but... it made everything stop.
The roaring phantoms of the Dragon Souls froze in the air, the surging Dragon Clan Origin energy stopped flowing, and even the Dragon God's remnant soul gazing coldly from the high heavens seemed to have its blurred outline frozen.
Time, space, energy, consciousness... everything, under the shroud of this pure white light, came to an absolute standstill!
Only Xuan Ming at the center of the white light, and Gu Yuena on the distant mountain peak still being eroded by the power of the heart of the dragon god, seemed to transcend the shackles of this stillness.
And at this very moment when all things were stagnant—
"Boom!!!"
A bolt of lightning of indescribable color, like the first ray of light at the birth of the Universe, or the final judgment at the end of all things, pierced through layers of void, ignored the barriers of the Dragon Tomb, and descended directly!
It did not come from the sky of the Douluo Plane, but originated from the deeper universal Laws themselves. Its color was of the same source as the white light erupting from Xuan Ming—that extreme pure white that embraced everything and negated everything!
The goal of this pure white lightning was not destruction, but... baptism and reconstruction!
It fell straight toward the source of the white light at the center of the static World—Xuan Ming!
Lightning poured into his body!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no agonizing screams as imagined.
The moment the pure white lightning touched Xuan Ming's body, it seeped in silently like a drop of water merging into the ocean.
But the entire Dragon Tomb, at this moment, let out an overburdened, ancient wail and shook violently! It was as if this burial ground, which carried the last hope of the Dragon Clan, could not withstand this Law power originating from the Universe's Origin!
Inside Xuan Ming's body, the Godhead prototype that was on the verge of collapse due to the Dragon Soul backlash was now condensing and materializing at an unprecedented speed under the infusion of this pure white lightning!
The resentment and roars of thousands of Dragon Souls, the unwillingness and anger of the Dragon Clan's decline, the entrustment of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Gu Yuena's sacrifice, his own journey of slaughter, persistence, confusion, and determination... everything, good and bad, light and dark, belonging to humans, belonging to the Dragon Clan... were all forcibly compressed, smelted, and purified under the refinement of that pure white lightning!
It was no longer a simple aggregation of energy, but the manifestation of Laws, the crystallization of will, the final confirmation of his, Xuan Ming's, unique path!
A crystal emitting a hazy white light, with countless subtle Law runes flickering inside, was completely forming at the core of his divine soul with an unstoppable force!
Godhead... condensed!
That pure white Godhead light was not dazzling, but carried a majesty and indifference that transcended all things, as if it were a part of the rules itself.
In this static World where only the pure white lightning shone, Xuan Ming slowly raised his head. Deep within those ice-blue eyes, the original emotions had faded, replaced by a divine radiance as vast and cold as the starry Universe... God Realm, Supreme Temple.
The five God Kings, who had been closely monitoring the situation in the Dragon Tomb through the Godly Trial marks and even secretly guiding the illusion trials, almost all stood up abruptly at this moment! The eternal majesty and calmness on their faces were replaced by an unprecedented shock and solemnity!
In the center of the temple, within the giant light mirror constructed from pure rule power, the scenes of the Dragon Tomb originally reflected—the roaring Dragon Souls, the surging energy, the struggling Xuan Ming, and Gu Yuena on the verge of collapse after activating the heart of the dragon god—everything was covered by an indescribable... pure white in an instant!
That was not light, nor was it dark.
It was a kind of... absolute 'stillness'!
A terrifying power that seemed to completely 'freeze' time, space, energy, and even Karma!
Immediately after, that pure white lightning that pierced through the void and originated from the Universe's Law Origin descended!
"What is that?!" The God of Destruction's dark purple pupils constricted violently, and the aura of ending all things around him fluctuated for a moment.
He had never seen such a bizarre 'Tribulation Lightning'!
It had no aura of destruction but instead carried a sense of... nearly cold 'reconstruction' and 'confirmation'!
"It's not any known Law attribute..." In the Asura God's blood-red eyes, killing intent and suspicion intertwined. He held authority over slaughter and judgment and was most sensitive to the nature of energy, but at this moment, he was completely unable to analyze the essence of that pure white lightning!
The God of Kindness and the Goddess of Life looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.
In that white light, they could not feel any of the beauty belonging to Life, nor could they feel any of the gentleness of Kindness; there was only an absolute, cold... negation!
While that white light negated everything, it dominated everything it enveloped with an overbearing posture!
It was not an inheritance, not a Fusion, but a negation and reconstruction of all existing rules!
That pure white Godhead seemed to be the starting point of all rules, as well as the end point of all rules.
