Chapter 269 Flying Towards the Sun.
After everything was settled, Wang Xiaofei looked at his wife and children, seemingly reluctant to leave. But after careful consideration, for the sake of his future and his own better development, he resolutely decided to leave.
Leaving wasn't so simple. The gods of the Divine Realm were restricted by their divine positions and couldn't leave. However, when the beings of the Divine Sword passed on their divine positions, they all chose to leave the Divine Realm.
This showed that the Divine Realm was the gateway to the outside world, and after leaving, gods generally preferred to travel the universe and explore the unknown.
But Wang Xiaofei had always been reluctant to go to the Divine Realm, mainly because he feared being restricted, like the former Sea God, who desperately wanted to leave the Divine Realm to pursue a higher realm. The Divine Realm felt more like a shackle.
Wang Xiaofei stood atop the Golden Ancient Tree, looking at the starry sky. Perhaps this was the universe.
Wang Xiaofei left a wisp of divine thought, infusing it into the Golden Ancient Tree, which then transformed into a giant fire phoenix and began to fly into the starry sky.
All the people, all the Soul Masters, all the gods on Douluo Star watched as a massive burst of fire, and a colossal fire phoenix, thousands of meters long and wide, soared into the sky.
Everyone understood that this was His Majesty the Emperor of the Douluo Federation. It was he who ended the war on the Douluo Continent, who brought lasting peace and stability to the Douluo Federation, and who led humanity and the Soul Beast race to coexist peacefully, driving the rapid development of human Soul Tools.
Countless people gazed upon this fire phoenix; it seemed to have become their faith.
Wang Xiaofei ignored everyone, regardless of the changes, and transformed into a fire phoenix, rapidly soaring into the starry sky.
As Wang Xiaofei flew higher and higher, the air became increasingly thin, to the point where normal people could not breathe.
But Wang Xiaofei was a god; he did not need air, nor did he need to breathe. He could survive even in the simplest of environments.
As Wang Xiaofei was about to leave the Douluo Star's territory, an invisible repulsive force seemed to exist in the space, preventing him from leaving. However, Wang Xiaofei remained unmoved, his body blazing with fire, like a giant fireball, instantly dissipating this repulsive force and allowing him to depart from the Douluo Star's territory.
In the starry sky, Wang Xiaofei transformed into a giant fire phoenix, flying rapidly. The fire phoenix's flight speed was extremely fast, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers per hour, like a shooting star.
In truth, Wang Xiaofei only truly wanted to fly to two places: one was the edge of the universe, the so-called Chaos Land, where he could draw upon the power of chaos—a higher level of energy, arguably the origin of all energy.
The power of chaos was far more complex and elusive, representing disorder and chaos. It possessed immense destructive power, capable of overturning all existing rules. To some extent, the power of chaos was the opposite of the power of creation, challenging the order and balance of the universe. However, the power of chaos also contained the potential for creation, only its application was far more difficult.
In the original story, the gods relied on the power of chaos to reach a higher realm.
On the other hand, there's the sun in the sky; at its core, there must be extraordinary fiery power, perhaps even, as the Silver Dragon King said, the place where the Phoenix Ancestral God resides—the true power of a God-King.
However, the distance between the sun and the Fallen Star is extremely vast. Back on Earth, the distance between Earth and the sun was 149.6 million kilometers. Although Wang Xiaofei is now a god, his current speed is only tens of thousands of kilometers per hour. Even considering the distance from Earth to the sun, it would take him one or two years to travel that distance.
Moreover, they were now on Douluo Star, and the distance was even more uncertain.
But Wang Xiaofei didn't care about that. After leaving Douluo Star's range, he began flying towards the brightest sun in the sky.
As time passed, Wang Xiaofei had been flying for a full year. He had even begun to forget everything around him, only feeling that the space seemed to have become hotter. The sun was still far away; according to Wang Xiaofei's estimation, it would take at least another one to two years to reach its vicinity.
But Wang Xiaofei didn't care about that; he continued flying, continuing forward, regardless of the dangers.
Wang Xiaofei felt that since flying for a year, the surrounding energy seemed to have changed. On Douluo Star, even sunlight only brought warmth; it was pure fire energy.
But after traveling a third of the distance, the energy seemed to have changed drastically, becoming more violent, the temperature higher, and even possessing extremely strong destructive power—a destructive power that seemed to exist from the very beginning.
Wang Xiaofei even felt that if fire-attribute soul masters cultivated here, their improvement speed would probably be incredibly fast.
Wang Xiaofei paid no heed to these concerns, continuing his rapid flight towards the sun.
After covering two-thirds of the distance, the temperature seemed to intensify, reaching nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, almost approaching the temperature of Earth's magma. The energy in the air seemed to have become even more violent; even a Title Douluo among Soul Masters would likely find it difficult to withstand such energy.
Especially since this energy seemed to contain destructive power; any ordinary creature entering it would probably be instantly reduced to ashes.
Wang Xiaofei stopped for the first time, carefully sensing the energy in the space. As his perception of this energy deepened, his eyes widened.
Just as Wang Xiaofei sensed, the space did indeed contain a very small amount of destructive power. This power was extremely weak, almost imperceptible; only someone who had reached the Quasi-God King level could perceive even a slight difference in power.
Wang Xiaofei looked at the sun, which seemed to be getting closer and closer, like a fireball approaching, containing boundless power. He felt a yearning, both physically and mentally, for strength, for this power.
Wang Xiaofei no longer cared about anything else; driven by the excitement and longing in his heart, he flew rapidly towards the sun.
Finally, after spending a full three years, Wang Xiaofei arrived near the sun. What came into view was a gigantic fireball, countless times larger than Douluo Star, and its energy was countless times more powerful. Wang Xiaofei even felt that the energy within this sun far surpassed that of those so-called supreme god-kings, perhaps even reaching the level of the Dragon God.
