World Version Updates-Chapter 486 - 308: The Cause of the Main God (Part 2)

"They... are wary!" Lu Yan murmured softly in his heart, with a hint of relief in his voice.

His greatest fear was that the Seven Great Gods would not give him a chance to explain his position and would instead obliterate his Emperor's Dharma Aspect with ruthless force.

If that were the case, unless he could swiftly ascend to become the sole being in this world, he would have no chance of survival, with only a path to death and no possibility of escape.

However, even though the Eternal Sun and Storm God spoke harshly and held intimidating power, they did not strike directly but instead chose to pressure and test.

This meant that Lu Yan's previous efforts to create momentum and borrow power had begun to show results.

The sword from the Eternal World that crossed time and space, along with the aura on the Emperor's Dharma Aspect that shared the same origin as the ancient remains, successfully planted seeds of doubt and apprehension in the hearts of these ancient deities.

They worried that by easily killing this seemingly weak incarnation, they might fully offend a sole being in this world possessing the power to transcend versions.

This unknown risk was something these ancient beings, who had lived for countless ages, were unwilling to easily bear.

Even this slight apprehension was enough to give Lu Yan a chance to maneuver and retaliate.

Countless thoughts flashed like lightning in Lu Yan's mind, and in just an instant, he had devised a strategy.

In the next moment, that Emperor's Dharma Aspect bathed in endless thunder and blazing sun, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment, suddenly underwent an astonishing change.

"Hahahaha!"

The Emperor's Dharma Aspect no longer maintained its previous dignified stance but erupted in a wild laugh that echoed across the skies.

The laugh was full of disdain and brazenness, causing the entire Star Realm Dimension to tremble slightly, and above the sky's canopy, the myriad stars seemed to shiver in this laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" The Storm God's face, formed by gathered lightning, clearly showed displeasure, issuing a cold inquiry.

However, the Emperor's Dharma Aspect simply cast a contemptuous glance at the Storm God, the smile on his face unwavering, as he said loudly:

"I laugh at you who seized the power of the ancient remains, barely ascending to the position of the sole being in this world, clearly having the ability to initially transcend this realm and perceive part of the truth, yet still confining your gaze to this pitiful, soon-to-collapse prison land!"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

"Utterly pathetic!"

The voice of the Emperor's Dharma Aspect, like thunder from the ninth heaven, resounded in the heart of every Great God.

The Seven Great Gods, having lived for countless ages, had minds as firm as stone and naturally would not be swayed by Lu Yan's slightly mocking words.

But the tone of deep-seated disdain and scorn in Lu Yan's words still provoked the most short-tempered Storm God to retort:

"Utterly foolish! Arrogant beyond measure!"

The Storm God's voice was full of anger, "The great existences from other version worlds, once they step into the realm of the sole being in this world, it means the road ahead is finished, with little possibility of further advancement."

"Yet in this mysterious version, as long as the ancient remains exist, we can commence an ancient feast, devour the old powers, the path ahead is clear, and the future holds infinite possibilities.

Before the ancient remains completely collapse, we still have the hope of striving for higher realms, what would you as a mere incarnation understand?"

The Emperor's Dharma Aspect unexpectedly nodded, as if acknowledging the Storm God's statement.

"Indeed, the ancient remains are an unparalleled opportunity unique to this mysterious version.

It allows beings in this realm, by leveraging their remnants and powers, to relatively easily step into the realm of the sole being in this world, a feat unimaginable in other version worlds."

But in the next moment, Lu Yan's tone drastically shifted, becoming sharp:

"However, there is one point you have never realized.

If the path of the ancient truly led to the supreme eternal avenue, then why did the once-mighty ancient ultimately fall, leaving their remains to nourish this mysterious version?"

These words were like a thunderbolt striking a calm lake, stirring up gigantic waves.

The expressions of the Seven Great Gods, originally as calm as an ancient well, finally underwent significant change at this moment.

A hint of doubt, a trace of contemplation, and even an almost imperceptible wavering flickered in their eyes.

Yet, the Emperor's Dharma Aspect seemed oblivious to the change in their expressions, mercilessly continuing:

"What you are doing now is merely treading the old path of the ancients.

No matter how much ancient power you devour, or how much ancient strength you merge with, in the end, you are straying further on a path the ancients already failed on.

Ultimately, you will still be trapped in this version for countless ages, meeting your end, and through your blood and flesh nurturing all things, birthing a brand new version."

"Is such a path, such an inevitably futureless conclusion, truly the supreme road you expect and pursue?"

Every word from the Emperor's Dharma Aspect was like a sharp blade, piercing vehemently into the hearts of the Seven Great Gods, revealing the secrets and worries buried deep in their hearts.

"Then..." After a suffocating silence, a calm and wise voice gradually arose, breaking the stillness of the Star Realm, "What is the path beyond the sole being in this world like?"

The person speaking was the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, who had been silently observing, surrounded by countless runes of wisdom and starlight.

His gaze was profound and bright, seeming to encompass all mysteries in the world.

With the God of Knowledge's question, the eyes of the other six Great Gods once again converged on Lu Yan's Emperor's Dharma Aspect, waiting for his continuation.

In a quiet chamber far away in the Victoria Royal Palace, Lu Yan's true form had a faint, undetectable curve at the corner of his mouth.

He knew, the fish had taken the bait.

"Beyond the sole being in this world is the sole being across worlds!"

"Attaining the sole being across worlds allows one to completely transcend the constraints and limits of a single version, freely crossing innumerable version worlds, while their essence remains eternally singular, unchanged, untainted."

"Their will can reflect across all heavens and worlds, their gaze can discern the essence of all things.

Past, present, future, in their eyes, are just paintings flipping in the palm! This is true eternity, true transcendence!"

"Has anyone ever attained that ultimate realm of sole being across worlds?" The Storm God couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of unnoticeable skepticism in his voice.

Lu Yan glanced at the impatient Storm God, his voice still indifferent: "If someone indeed achieved the ultimate realm of sole being across worlds, their brilliance would surely illuminate this mysterious version.

How could you, who wield power in this world, not be aware at all?"

"Then isn't it simply a mythical, unattainable, and impractical utopian realm?" another God, clad in the aura of war and slaughter, questioned with skepticism.

Lu Yan gently shook his head, his voice carrying an enigmatic tone:

"Though no one has truly stepped into that legendary realm of sole being across worlds, there is already one who walks the correct path toward the sole being across worlds.

Their profound accumulation and supreme power far surpass those of ordinary sole beings in this world."

"That revered deity, their name is..."

Lu Yan's words paused briefly, the weight of realities across numerous versions seemingly carried within them.

"Main God!"

With the utterance of "Main God" from the Emperor's Dharma Aspect, Lu Yan finally sensed a hidden thread of karma stirred within him.

He knew well that this was the precaution left by the Main God in the version of the great collapse, and as the version update approached, the strand of karmic connection with the Main God grew stronger.

The Seven Great Gods present all felt something in their hearts.

Above that starlit expanse, it seemed a gaze was about to descend into the mysterious version, traversing from infinite versions.
