Chapter 1803: Wish and Story


Chapter 1803: Wish and Story

Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Ninth Star Ring, beyond Wanggu’s firmament—

The Lord God forcibly sent by the Mother River shuddered mid-flight.

It sensed the terrifying aura surging toward It from behind.

"A Lord God?"

The Mother River deity whirled around to see—

What It saw was an endless expanse of golden and silver light, spreading outward across the black canvas of space like a sea of radiance.

It was like a strange, magnificent flower blooming.

The sight made Its expression instantly grave.

Earlier in Wanggu, It had sensed this human—who’d crippled the Mother River’s pawn—not only possessed a Fifth Star Ring Summer Immortal’s aura but had reached the Immortal Lord level in the cultivation system!

Such attainment was extraordinarily rare.

Coupled with Its incomplete manifestation, fear of Desolate, and the Mother River’s mission, It had chosen immediate retreat.

But now...

"He’s not just an immortal—he’s a god!"

"And that divine aura..."

The Lord God’s spirit quaked harder.

"That is the supreme divine aspect born from the theft of Desolate’s authority by the Fourth Star Ring’s Venerable God... which was then seized by the Fifth Star Ring!"

"A divine aspect that bears endless karma with Desolate..."

"He actually fused with it directly!"

"His connection to Desolate..."

The Lord God backpedaled frantically, accelerating beyond Its previous speed.

Primal terror screamed through Its being.

As It fled, Its divine aspect activated a unique authority:

"I wish—I have returned to the Mother River!"

Divine words echoed—but Its form only flickered before solidifying again.

The wish failed.

"The Upper Desolation’s presence suppresses my mark too strongly..."

"I wish—for my safe return to the Mother River!"

This time, as the divine voice reverberated, an unknown power surged through Its body. In a blink, Its speed accelerated, empowered by a hidden blessing that calmed even Its restless spirit.

Even the fabric of space beneath Its feet seemed to compress and shorten.

It was getting closer and closer to the point beyond the Fragmented Face—where the Mother River could finally reach It.

But just as that threshold came into range of Its divine sense—on the verge of escape—

Suddenly, calamity erupted!

The gold-silver light sea from Wanggu erupted across the cosmos with unimaginable force, overtaking the Lord God in an instant!

In a blink, it swept outward, covering an endless span.

It crushed everything in its path, its roar echoing infinitely.

With unmatched force, it tore through time and space, through the universe itself, surpassing even the Lord God. Amid Its soul’s panic, it screamed past It—

Enveloping It whole!

Just before the boundary point It had sought, the golden-silver sea rose like a wall of light—blocking all paths forward.

It was like a gate... standing tall.

From the blinding light, a figure emerged, each step echoing divinity and dread.

The moment he appeared, the vast universe seemed to freeze. Then the stars began trembling violently.

It felt as if, in the next instant, all of creation would collapse before this unbearable might—reduced to dust, vanishing into the void.

It was Xu Qing—now fused with both Immortal and Divine.

The Lord God’s pupils shrank. It stumbled back, Its soul in chaos.

It could feel it. The human before It had become part of the very rules and laws of the upper star ring—a being infused with devastating force.

Especially those divine patterns engraved across his body—woven from countless galactic rivers.

Each pattern contained a complete world—within which countless lives were born, living, evolving, building civilizations, rising and falling through dynasties.

And yet—these were merely decorations across Xu Qing’s skin.

This was the hallmark of a Lord God!

But what terrified the Lord God most was the core of those divine patterns—the divine aspect of fate itself!

It blazed with brilliance like the light of creation.

Wherever its light fell, time’s river dried up in an instant, the invisible walls of space tore like fragile paper. Even fate itself seemed to kneel beneath it, forced to submit—its course rewritten.

That divine light fell upon the Lord God—and Its divine aspect began to tremble!

It retreated again.

"A wish...?"

Xu Qing raised his head, calmly gazing at the god.

"Interesting."

His voice carried both the sound of the Dao and the resonance of the divine—intertwined, unstable, destructive—forming a soul-breaking voice of world-ending might.

The wave of sound rippled like a physical force, smashing through the void. Everything—matter and law alike—was crushed and reshaped.

The Lord God instinctively retreated further, the tremors in Its spirit intensifying after Xu Qing’s words.

At this moment, Xu Qing appeared utterly terrifying to Its senses!

There he stood amidst the cosmos—his body etched with divine patterns, his soul radiating immortal Ordinance Law, while his hair, resembling a violet galaxy, drew particular attention.

That hair had transformed into a veritable sea of universes, each strand a dazzling river of stars formed from countless celestial bodies.

As those starry locks swayed, the densely packed stellar rivers within continuously collided, merged, and split apart—each transformation triggering cataclysms within those microscopic worlds.

And it was still expanding!

Spreading with near-manic intensity, as if seeking to devour all of existence, to assimilate everything into Xu Qing’s being as nourishment.

"Desolate..."

For an instant, the Lord God perceived—or thought It perceived—a trace of Desolate within Xu Qing!

This perception was not mistaken.

It was the inevitable aura exuded by the fusion of the Fate Divine Aspect.

This was the temporary path Xu Qing had chosen for himself.

During his return journey, he had already resolved upon this course—for he understood clearly that his greatest strength lay in his Immortal Lord-level Law!

Yet this Law, constrained by the limitations of his physical form, could not be fully manifested.

Thus came the divine fusion!

His divine body, originally forged from the fragmented-face, merged perfectly with the divine aspect to become Desolate’s flesh and blood god .

This was the most formidable physical form known!

His immortal form, born of Summer Immortal origins, could manifest an immortal soul—his current pinnacle of Law.

By fusing the two—using the divine body as vessel and the immortal as soul—he could unleash both divine might and the full power of his Immortal Lord-level Ordinance Law simultaneously.

Thus, with a thought, he could become a Lord God.

With another, an Immortal Lord.

In this fused state, he had reached the Lord tier!

"It seems... the one who once contacted me through wishes shares some connection with you."

Xu Qing’s gold-and-silver eyes swept over the Lord God before him as his violet hair suddenly lashed violently—the stellar rivers within colliding with thunderous force.

The surrounding sea of gold and silver light surged in the direction of his gaze, crashing toward the Lord God with devastating momentum!

A life-or-death crisis erupted instantaneously!

The Lord God erupted with intense golden radiance, channeling Its full divine might as Its body transformed. Divine patterns spread across Its form while Its divine aspect manifested visibly.

A divine proclamation echoed through the cosmos:

"I wish—that no power below Venerable God may harm me!"

The words became divine will, became universal law, became inevitability itself.

The gold-silver sea of light surged violently, yet when it crashed upon the Lord God, it passed harmlessly through—though the god’s aura visibly dimmed from the expenditure of Its divine aspect’s power!

"I wish—that my enemies shall suffer their own attacks!"

The Lord God could no longer afford to conserve energy. Once more, the power of Its divine aspect activated.

In the next instant, the gold-silver light sea reversed course, rebounding toward Xu Qing!

"I wish—that all barriers before me vanish! With one step, I shall traverse this realm!"

The Lord God’s voice thundered across the starry void as It lifted Its right foot and took a decisive step forward.

Xu Qing’s expression remained ice-cold as he raised his right hand and pressed down lightly.

With that motion, his Ordinance Law erupted—no longer merely swirling around him but exploding outward like a superstorm ravaging the multiverse!

Within this tempest, spacetime was kneaded like clay, parallel worlds popped like soap bubbles only to be reassembled into grotesque new configurations.

The power of return to one forcibly merged all shattered dimensions and chaotic laws, forging a chain of Law that transcended past and future, piercing through all dimensions—

It shot directly toward the Lord God!

Disregarding all obstacles, the instant the god’s foot descended, the chains ensnared Its divine form!

The Lord God’s spirit quaked violently.

Through Its perception, It clearly sensed the indescribable terror contained within those chains—each slight tremor could trigger explosions of fate itself, amplifying their binding power.

The ripples formed coalesced into Xu Qing’s voice:

"Divine Aspect... Remake."

...

Simultaneously, in the outer seas of Wanggu...

A lone boat rocked upon pitch-black waves. Inside, Jade Flowing Dust sat gazing skyward, His eyes alight with unprecedented anticipation.

His heart surged with emotions more intense than ever before as He murmured to Himself:

"To think the opportunity I’ve awaited all this time would truly manifest through him!"

"That casual move from years past has blossomed into something unimaginable... even attracting the wish..."

"In my story, the cultivator named Xu Qing returned successfully..."

"In my story, he would possess astonishing power when he returned..."

"These tales have all come to pass, all succeeded. And now for what comes next..."

"In future stories—he shall... unite Wanggu!"

At this point, Jade Flowing Dust’s expression twisted with conflict. Yet feeling the elevation of His divine will, sensing the leap in His realm, experiencing the True God boundary He’d yearned for across countless years finally within reach—

He gritted His teeth fiercely, eyes blazing with the most intense madness of His life as He made an irrevocable decision. Like a gambler staking everything, He declared:

"In stories yet unwritten—he shall unite the Ninth Star Ring!"

"He shall suppress the Venerable Gods of the Ninth Star Ring!"

"He shall become the Supreme Ruler of the Ninth Star Ring!"

Having spoken these words, Jade Flowing Dust’s entire body trembled. Sweat instantly drenched His robes—He had staked everything on this desperate gamble!

"In the stories to come... he shall replace... Desolate!!"

Then He coughed up a mouthful of golden blood, His body collapsing weakly onto the boat as He gazed at the sky, murmuring hoarsely:

"They say gods have no emotions... but I do. Kid... you must succeed. My entire future... is bet on you now."
