Chapter 1600: Chapter 1541: Comprehension of Deities under the Starry Sky - Recreating the Heavens and the Earth!_2

Clumps of earth-yellow energy permeated the world, while only a few traces of Soul Power remained of Xiao Chen’s Undying Spiritual Soul. The collapse and reconstruction within this world had nearly come to an end, and a faint radiance of purple-golden light shimmered upon the World Barrier!

Moreover, the once illusory space had largely been obliterated, transforming into a pitch-black terrain, replaced by a speckled, earth-yellow Muddy Sphere Star!

The awareness of the several Sacred Children was incredibly sharp. The moment the voice of the Western Frontier Sacred Child echoed out, they had already sensed the anomaly in Xiao Chen’s Small World!

The unification of Spirit with the world was correct, as was the reconfiguration of the world, yet this was not a contraction but an expansion.

"It’s still shrinking!"

"Martial Arts may be derived from Divine Dao; even though the transformations of worlds differ, the overall path of cultivation remains similar. Why has such a change occurred? Is it deliberate? Or is this how Divine Dao cultivation is meant to be?"

"If this continues, the entire world will revert to Chaos, becoming a solid, speckled ball of earth!"

At this moment, the Muddy Sphere Star was riddled with dense cracks. The remaining fragments of the speckled World Barrier continuously crushed and collided with one another, piling back together, as wave after wave of earth-yellow energy intertwined and fused into the Muddy Sphere Star!

Under Xiao Chen’s control, the Muddy Sphere Star—under constant crushing—shrunk several times within mere breaths!

Bang!

In that instant, the Starry Sky emitted a resounding noise, akin to the heartbeat of gods and demons, directly causing the Qi and blood of the Sacred Children to surge uncontrollably!

"What is the Forbidden Sacred Child doing? Is he trying to condense his world into a solid star?"

"The Emperor’s unification of the world—is there any point in forming it into a solid star?"

As they felt the earth-yellow solid star continuously emit waves of Qi energy, the faces of the Sacred Children changed drastically, for this Qi energy was even rousing the pulsations of their bloodlines!

This was an intangible form of intimidation, directly resonating with the earth’s veins of Heaven and earth, making escape almost impossible for them!

And where Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, the surrounding Starry Sky had already become chaotic, causing the Sacred Children to refrain from approaching him. Only within the central pillar of light could one see an earth-yellow speckled star constantly spinning!

Not only that, but the Muddy Sphere Star was still shrinking further, while Xiao Chen’s Undying Spiritual Soul had long since vanished without a trace!

As it continued to compress, the Muddy Sphere Star increasingly resembled the barren uneven stars scattered throughout the Starry Sky. Yet it was not spherical but an irregular ellipse, with fragmented edges, worn and speckled, resembling a patch of yellow mud casually thrown on the ground!

Nevertheless, it exuded a dense earthly aura that enveloped Xiao Chen entirely!

Bang!

The earth-yellow star trembled once more, resonating with the veins of Heaven and earth, shaking the Starry Sky itself as the star again shrunk to half its size!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With each successive tremor growing increasingly rapid, the Muddy Sphere Star continued to shrink. After dozens of resounding echoes, the shadow above Xiao Chen had reduced to merely one-tenth the size of the original Small World!

Bang!

Suddenly, another massive noise erupted, followed by thunder blasting across the Starry Sky. A series of cracks resembling Great Dragons spread outward in all directions. Thick, pitch-black fissures extended directly into the depths of the Starry Sky!

This time, the earth-colored star was sliced away by one-third of its mass. What used to be loosely-packed Yellow Soil had now solidified into rock!

The muddy-looking star had transformed entirely into a chunk of earth, its final trace of purple brilliance now completely erased!

The Sacred Children exchanged bewildered glances. Though seasoned and knowledgeable, even they were rendered speechless—they had no understanding of Xiao Chen’s cultivation process!

Could it be that the boundless Divine Dao truly required such a path to enter the True God Realm?

Showered in the dense dragon-like earthly energy, Xiao Chen felt an unprecedented clarity. The region of Martial Arts Qi Sea within his body had long turned into a Black Hole, with only a single earth-yellow Mud Pill suspended in its center!

To Xiao Chen, even if people knew Martial Arts was derived from Divine Dao, the Divine Dao was ultimately the origin of Martial Arts, naturally possessing significant differences!

The Divine Dao Deity Realm—its next step was to ascend into the True God Realm, transforming the source of laws into the Divine Dao Godhead, which could rightly be regarded as the Void God Realm of True Gods. In truth, the royal path of world suppression corresponded directly to the Void God’s divine rank, though the implicit nature of Divine Dao caused it to be referred to inversely!

Only at this moment did Xiao Chen gain a fresh understanding of the Deity Realm!

Deities are, by essence, the honorable designation of gods. This originates from the reverence the Desolate Ten Thousand Spirits hold toward the divine, which over time evolved through fervent worship into the manifestation of gods!

Yet for those truly traversing the God road in their cultivation, the deity in question is oneself. The true soul is the deity; with a world as sustenance, one becomes the god of this domain!

For Xiao Chen, his Undying Spiritual Soul itself was the deity. His endeavor to unravel the realm of Spirit was merely a quest to enhance his strength but had inadvertently overlooked this fundamental realization!

Since one is a deity by nature, complete dominion over their domain is inherent. This domain—this world—is the very foundation of the deity’s manifestation. Crossing into the True God Realm to condense a Godhead merely externalizes the deity, making it capable of suppressing all!

However, all along, Xiao Chen had been stuck in a cultivation misconception. Despite practicing Divine Dao, he continued to approach Spirit’s role through the mindset of Martial Arts!

This misunderstanding had greatly diminished the efficacy of Spirit’s role!

It was merely a thin barrier of thought, but as one lost in their immediate predicament, Xiao Chen failed to see through it. Not until clarity struck could he realize it was essentially just a thin membrane separating him from complete insight!

Within the Martial Arts Qi Sea, a seemingly lifeless Mud Pill concealed a fully fused Spirit. As long as he could open up the world anew, his deity-form would naturally reappear!

Buzz!

The Mud Pill-like sphere of Yellow Soil pulsated like the heart of gods and demons, radiating ripples of power imbued with a terrifying force!

At that moment, Xiao Chen seemed to return to the time when he first created his Small World. Yet the current him was far more advanced and beyond comparison, with the foundations fully established, ready to recreate time and space!

From this moment onward, his Undying Spiritual Soul ceased to exist, replaced by the deity that was uniquely Xiao Chen!

The pulsations of the Mud Pill Star grew increasingly intense, even stirring spatial ripples within the Starry Sky. Each jump resonated with the threads of time and space, drawing one’s Mind into involuntary echoes!

"Could it be... Could it be that this Mud Pill Star is about to explode, and he intends to recreate Heaven and earth!"

A gasping voice rang out, instantly eliciting shock from the four Sacred Children. Even the severely weakened whistle-like voice carried astonishment in its gaze!

"Opening Heaven and earth, forging a new time and space—does this mean Xiao Chen was dissatisfied with his previous world and intends to rebuild it completely?"

With difficulty, someone swallowed their constricted throat. Everyone knew how hard it was to construct a Small World and open Heaven and earth; a single misstep could cause one’s entire body to explode. Xiao Chen had already birthed life, gathered the Great Dao, and completed the initial nurturing of his prior world—all of it now burned to ashes for a fresh start!

As time stretched on, each passing moment felt unbearably sluggish for the four Sacred Children, even their breaths growing quieter!

"Madman! To return a nearly perfected world to Chaos and reopen Heaven and earth—are you not afraid of shattering yourself, perishing completely, and having your Dao vanish into oblivion?"

"What a reckless path to death! For what? Was the earlier world insufficient? What kind of world does he seek to forge? Is he determined that only a genuine Divine Realm would suffice?"

The moment those words fell, Zhu Rong Bow’s eyes flickered with an indescribable sigh, drawing puzzled stares from the others before they quickly came to their own realizations.

Xiao Chen’s reputation was far from insignificant. As opponents, they naturally understood quite a bit about him. Rumor had it that Xiao Chen had turned to cultivate Divinity halfway through his journey, previously crafting a Martial Arts-based Small World. Was this why he needed to rebuild his world?

"A different path!"

Finally, Ao Jian of the Western Frontier Sacred Children spoke, his sword-like gaze flashing as he uttered the words in a solemn tone. Yet, deep within his pupils lay a trace of enigmatic intent!

Crack!

In an instant, countless Great Rift fissures manifested across the Starry Sky at an unimaginable pace, radiating outward from Xiao Chen’s position. Each fissure spread like a Great Dragon, pitch-black and vast enough to engulf stars!

"Retreat!"

Almost simultaneously, those in the Starry Sky burst backward sharply. Xiao Chen’s act of reopening Heaven and earth, should it fail, would unleash an explosion powerful enough to obliterate this expanse of the Starry Sky, and even they could not escape unscathed!

Bang!

A resonant world-suppressing tone suddenly echoed forth, causing the shattered Starry Sky to shudder violently. Beneath the Mud Pill Star, Xiao Chen abruptly opened his eyes!
