Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Creator God Li Zhaixian Takes Action — The Six Heroes of the Tang Sect (Side Story)

Hearing this, the gods focused their attention and looked ahead.

Only then did they realize that the six worlds struggling at the edge of the black hole were indeed ones they had glimpsed fleetingly within the cosmic rifts at the dawn of creation.

A sacred domain where holy light pierced the heavens.

A world of zither melodies drifting like immortal music.

A wondrous immortal land wrapped in rosy clouds...

Each now found its corresponding trace within their memories.

"No wonder the Creation God spoke of fate just now..."

"Fate truly is wondrous beyond words."

Ji Dong said,

"Yet from the looks of it, these six worlds have encountered no small trouble."

That black hole was the terminus of laws.

Its devouring force was far beyond what a mere God King could resist.

The six worlds were gradually being eroded; clearly, they would not hold out much longer.

The Asura God said,

"The Creation God destroyed the collapsing Seven-Dimensional Divine Star, but the aftershocks of the spacetime storm still rage through the starfields beyond the Divine Realm."

"These six worlds must have been caught in it and fallen toward the black hole."

At these words,

a chill rose in the hearts of the gods.

Had the Divine Realm not been fortunate enough to encounter the Creation God,

its fate would likely have been no different from the six worlds before them.

Li Zhexian smiled.

"They have sensed us."

As his words fell,

a cosmic storm surged.

The six worlds trapped within the black hole’s range simultaneously erupted with vast energy fluctuations.

Under the curious and wary gazes of the gods,

six figures, steady as deep abysses and towering mountains, condensed and manifested from divine radiance of various hues.

Their auras were so formidable that even the gods present felt a chill; Ji Dong and the Asura God both grew solemn.

"Indeed—they are God King level!"

And yet,

the shock of those six God Kings far surpassed that of the gathered gods.

A young man wielding the Death God Sword, death laws coiling around him, gazed at the Divine Star suspended beyond the black hole, its divine light illuminating the starfield. He exhaled slowly.

"What an incomparably powerful world."

A burly man clad in blood-red battle armor, eighteen gray wings spread behind him, said gravely:

"The might of this realm surpasses even that collapsed Seven-Dimensional Divine Star."

"The universe is vast—experts are as numerous as forests."

The one who spoke next

was a defiant young man wearing golden holy armor and wielding a thousand-pound staff.

Nearby, a white-robed youth with eight naturally formed fingers gently stroked the ancient zither in his arms.

"The existence upon that Divine Star has already noticed us."

"We simply do not know whether they are willing to lend their aid."

The gods turned to look at Li Zhexian.

Though they were curious about these six God Kings,

the black hole was perilous beyond measure.

The Divine Star might be indestructible, yet none wished to court danger lightly.

Li Zhexian’s gaze swept across the six figures.

"The living beings of these six worlds number in the trillions. As it happens, my Divine Star’s domain is boundless and in need of new vitality. Saving them is not impossible."

With that said,

his mind stirred slightly.

Under the astonished gazes of the six God Kings—

the Divine Star raised a vast yet gentle cosmic tide, like an eternal ark sailing steadily forward, and entered the black hole governed by the law that devoured all things.

"Stop!"

"Turn back at once!" The six shouted urgently.

In the next instant—

wherever the Divine Star passed, the devouring force that even light could not escape parted like docile tides, opening a clear path before it.

The six men’s pupils contracted sharply.

"This..."

The Divine Star sailed into the black hole’s domain.

Li Zhexian stepped out calmly from the Divine Star, accompanied by Ji Dong, the Goddess of Kindness, and the Asura God—three God Kings—as well as a host of close companions and three thousand deities.

A faint, clear radiance surrounded him.

The soft halo appeared gentle and weak, yet it shielded all the gods without harm.

Seeing such a vast assembly of powerful beings, the six were shaken to their cores.

"Three experts at realms comparable to ours—and thousands more who have transcended mortality. This world is far too terrifying!"

"And that white-robed youth at their head is unfathomable. When my divine sense probed him, it found only chaos. By aura alone, he resists the black hole’s devouring power!"

As they communicated through divine sense, the white-robed youth with eight fingers bowed from a distance and said:

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"As you can see, our six realms face this great calamity. We hope you can lend a hand. If we can escape this predicament, there will surely be a heavy reward!"

The other five were about to speak, but Li Zhexian gently raised a hand.

"Let us resolve it first."

He slowly extended his right palm.

Strands of Dao-law divine chains flowed out from his hand.

Each chain contained a completely different ultimate truth of the Great Dao—yin and yang interchanging, life and death cycling, time and space revolving...

The laws of the heavens manifested into tangible form at this very moment.

Zheng!

Zheng!

From somewhere beyond perception,

a sword cry echoed across the cosmos.

The black hole that devoured all things was bound layer upon layer by the Dao-law chains. Amid the resonant hum of the Great Dao, it continuously contracted, finally transforming into a jet-black jade bead that lightly fell into Li Zhexian’s palm.

The entire process flowed as naturally as drifting clouds and running water, as if it were done casually.

The black hole vanished.

The universe returned to silence.

The six worlds that had stood on the brink of destruction now floated peacefully within the sea of stars.

The six towering figures formed of energy wavered, then dispersed into streaks of light, returning to their respective worlds.

Immediately afterward,

six true figures stepped forth from their worlds, descending in person.

Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu held his ancient zither, white robes stirring in the stellar winds. (From "Zither Emperor")

Death God Ah-Dai grasped the Death God Sword, eternity’s stillness settled in his eyes. (From "Kind Death God")

Immortal Emperor Hai Long rested a thousand-pound staff on his shoulder, golden holy armor flowing with undying divine light. (From "Only I Am Immortal")

Mad God Lei Xiang stood in the void, eighteen wings unfurling and stirring the nebulae. (From "Mad God")

God of Light Changgong Wei bathed in pure holy radiance. (From "Child of Light")

Heavenly Emperor Tian Hen appeared as a fusion of technology and energy. (From "Space-Speed Star Mark")

The gazes of all six God Kings focused upon the white-robed youth, watching as he casually tossed the black jade bead between his fingers.

This sight

shook even them, sovereigns of their respective worlds.

The black hole that the combined strength of six God Kings could not contend with had been reduced to a toy in this man’s palm.

Such power

surpassed their very understanding.

"A true... supreme powerhouse."

The white-robed youth plucked his zither strings, elegant notes flowing outward. Smiling, he cupped his hands.

"I am Ye Yinzhu, honored by others as the ’Qin Emperor.’ To meet Your Excellency and your companions today is a great fortune."

The black-clad youth reversed his grip and sheathed his sword; the Sword of Hades vanished soundlessly into the void.

"Ah-Dai. I bear the mantle of Death God."

Golden light shimmered across the holy armor as Immortal Emperor Hai Long planted his thousand-pound staff in the void and laughed heartily.

"My name is Hai Long. Before you, the title ’Immortal Emperor’ feels somewhat undeserved."

Lei Xiang’s eighteen divine wings slowly folded inward.

"Lei Xiang, known as the Mad God."

The remaining two supreme beings stepped forward simultaneously.

The man on the left bathed in holy light.

"Changgong Wei, wielder of Light."

The youth on the right wore technological divine armor and said somewhat sheepishly,

"Tian Hen. The title ’Heavenly Emperor’ is hardly worth mentioning."

Li Zhexian chuckled softly.

"Your titles truly grow more resounding one after another."

"My name is Li Zhexian, Creator of this Divine Star. Now that we meet within the sea of stars, I invite you all to enter my Divine Star—to discuss the Dao over wine and admire its beauty together."

"It would be our greatest honor!"
