Chapter 993: Chapter 441: Facing the Five Primordials, the Strongest Divine Skill! (Part 2)

The phantom’s form kept shifting, as though ten million stars were swaying within it—that was the thoughts of endless living beings, the notions of ten million universes.

When the first living being in existence looked up at the Star River, all beings learned how to think—and with that, He was born.

The Primordial ruler of all concepts of thought, reflection, wisdom, contemplation, philosophy—Xu Luo.

"Just a flick of the wrist."

Xu Luo did not utter any living language, yet the meaning He wished to express surfaced directly within Great Destruction’s thoughts.

The Three Deceits Cult possessed an influence twisted to the extreme; once contaminated, one could never break free. So many powers wished to grasp this kind of ability the Three Deceits Cult had, yet they had never managed to unravel the secret behind it.

The myriad races had always believed this was caused by the overly special nature of the faith in the Three Gods. Little did they know that all of this came from Xu Luo’s blessing.

"It doesn’t matter anymore. If you hadn’t done what you did, I might not have been able to awaken at all, let alone return to Subspace this early."

"The little dessert you prepared for me—I like it very much."

The little Xue Yue suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"Ming Qi, though our authorities are opposed, we’ve never had any so‑called life‑and‑death struggle. Where there is life, there must be death; where there is creation, there must be destruction. Where there is you, Ming Qi, there must be me, Great Destruction!"

"I can’t figure it out. Why must you put in so much effort to eradicate me?"

Great Destruction’s gaze once more locked onto the towering Ming Qi.

However, what answered Him was only a long silence.

"Forget it. If you don’t wish to answer, then don’t. I no longer care."

"Whatever it is you’re afraid of, whatever it is you dread—I care about none of it. The connection between the Three Deceits Cult and you has just been severed by me. I will use this ’dessert’ you so painstakingly prepared for me to once again take everything into my grasp."

"When the time comes... we’ll have a proper little game..."

The little Xue Yue’s voice grew fainter and fainter. Then the moonlight began to scatter; His body turned ethereal, and the moonlight slowly receded.

"Shuo Wang!!"

Ming Qi spoke in a low voice.

Mo Mei could only shrug helplessly. Right now She had already turned into a large fiery‑red flower. Swaying Her petals, She spoke softly: "I can’t hold Him here. There’s a new, extremely stable anchor on His body."

"It’s rooted in causality itself, an anchor more enduring than causality and fate. Unless a Primordial who rules over causality is born, no one can keep Him."

"But you know this—our world cannot nurture such a Primordial."

As Mo Mei’s words fell, the figure of the little Xue Yue also completely vanished from before Their eyes.

Ming Qi’s expression grew very complicated, as if He’d just let out a long breath of relief, yet also with a trace of unwillingness.

"Tell me, do you actually want to erase Him or not?"

"How is it that the one shouting the loudest was you, and the one happiest after He left is also you..."

A slightly teasing voice rang out. It belonged to a figure shrouded entirely in black mist. Behind Him loomed the phantom of a colossal clocktower. His existence was unfathomable—He seemed to stand right before one’s eyes, yet also as if in the distant past.

"Shi Ming, that future—you’re sure you didn’t see it wrong?"

Ming Qi spoke, His voice like peals of heavenly thunder.

"I didn’t see it wrong. Great Destruction will bring about true annihilation. He will stand upon the boundless Black Tide, shining over the Divine Eaters, the Extremists, and all of the End—ending even us, ending this entire Star River along with it."

The existence called Shi Ming spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Ming Qi fell silent for a long while, then said,

"What do you all think?"

Mo Mei spoke with a smile: "Then it will be very beautiful."

"All things annihilated, all creation brought to an end—this too is a brand‑new line of thought." Xu Luo said faintly.

Shi Ming lifted His head to overlook the entire Subspace. "Time never stops. I am only a witness, not the one who holds it."

As for that last Primordial who had remained silent the entire time, He still said not a word. His presence was unimaginable, yet He also gave off a sense of nothingness—a paradox beyond description.

Listening to them, Ming Qi let out a long sigh and spoke no more.

Next, the five Primordials dispersed at the same time. The Subspace resumed motion in an instant. The Evil Gods who should be tearing each other apart continued to tear each other apart; the Evil Gods who should be devouring planets went on devouring planets.

They seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, going about their business as always.

Within the root of the Eternal Venerable God, the little Xue Yue once again shrank down to the size of a rag doll, gazing out over everything.

"Ending this Star River completely as well, hmm?"

"Only one person is qualified to be reflected by me, to drive me. If it’s him..."

"Ending the entire Star River... that sounds... quite fun."

The little Xue Yue chuckled softly.

The image of that handsome, spirited youth surfaced before His eyes, and then He slowly closed them, beginning to greedily devour the Power of Origin.

At the same time—

Back in reality, Su Tu discovered that his body had grown yet again. The body that had been that of a seven‑ or eight‑year‑old had, in the blink of an eye, shot up another head. Judging from his appearance, he looked eleven or twelve now.

Su Tu didn’t even have time to marvel at how fast this body was growing.

Suddenly, a string of prompts popped up all at once.

Seeing these prompts, Su Tu froze there on the throne.

"Heh... if I could actually feel emotions right now, I’d probably be so excited I’d lose my composure, huh..."

"Little Xue Yue, oh little Xue Yue, just what the hell are you doing in Subspace..."

Su Tu couldn’t help but mutter.

Lines of system prompts hung before his eyes.

[You have directly faced the Primordial Evil God · Ming Qi!!]

[You have directly faced the Primordial Evil God · Shi Ming!!]

[You have directly faced the Primordial Evil God · Mo Mei!!]

[You have directly faced the Primordial Evil God · Xu Luo!!]

[You have directly faced the Primordial Evil God · Mo Mei!!]

"If I’m not misremembering, there are only five Primordial Evil Gods in the entire Subspace..."

The Primordials were the most powerful existences in Subspace, truly towering at the end of the Star River. Beings of this level were always like Divine Dragons—you might glimpse the head, but never the tail.

Even in the current records of the Star River, the full conceptual domains of the five great Primordials had never been completely documented.

And Xue Yue—having only just entered Subspace—had directly faced all five Primordials.

He had guessed before that once Xue Yue entered Subspace, something might happen; he just hadn’t expected something this huge!!

With the Muddy World Divine Power in his body exhausted, he couldn’t enter Subspace. He could only use the connection between himself and the divine anomaly to sense Xue Yue’s condition.

After confirming that Xue Yue was only somewhat weakened, he finally let go of his worry.

"So I was right. Little Xue Yue’s previous life really did come from Subspace. I just don’t know what rank of Evil God he was to cause such a commotion."

"I’d say he’s at least on the same tier as that big dumb brute of War..."

Su Tu thought to himself. That big brute was already one of the strongest beneath the Primordials. Xue Yue should be about the same as Him—after all, that little guy couldn’t possibly be a Primordial...

Knowing that Xue Yue was safe and sound, Su Tu’s lips curled up slightly.

After those five prompts, there was another system prompt—that was the real key.

[You have directly faced all Primordial concepts; you have obtained Divine Skills · Nothing]

[Divine Skills · One]

[Peep: All beings of the All Realms, all things in the Star River—once they fall within your gaze, their essence is laid bare.]

[Word: When word falls, essence stirs; grasp the principle and you may preside over it.]

[Palm (Locked) Unlock condition: Unknown!]

[Grasp (Locked) Unlock condition: Unknown!]

This set of Divine Skills had an extremely simple description, and the names were also very simple.

But Skills obtained from directly facing the five great Primordials—one hardly needed to think to know how terrifyingly powerful they were.

Calming his breathing and focusing his mind, Su Tu prepared to test this Skill.

He gathered his will, intending to activate "One", but...

Nothing happened...

Su Tu felt a kind of emptiness—the Divine Skill’s activation had failed.

And he immediately knew the reason. This Skill required a vessel to be cast through, and this current body of his simply could not bear the release of the Skill. It was like trying to run a gasoline engine on an electric train.

This was just... so damn bullshit...

Therefore, if he wanted to use this Skill, he had to retrieve his original body.

Just as Su Tu was at a loss for how to even吐槽, an intense thought suddenly rose up—that was a thought from one of his believers, transmitted because it concerned something he cared deeply about.

The message was... a member of the Human Race, Zhou Wuliang, fought alone against the powerhouses of thirteen great races, and in the Moonwatching Star System... disappeared!!
