Chapter 488 - Divine Axe Destroys Worlds and Ancient God Falls

Deep within the Dimensional Micro-Universe, Rosen's Doomsday Holy Spear fired endlessly, continuously repelling the Chaos Saint God. But even as his Primeval Sacred Body was repeatedly torn apart by the Doomsday Holy Spear, the Chaos Saint God used every means to approach Rosen. Rosen constantly widened the distance, but the Dimension Saint God continuously folded space to help the Chaos Saint God close in.

Although the Ancient God bailed Rosen out again and again, he never truly allied with Rosen against the Chaos Saint God. Unlike the genuine alliance between the Chaos Saint God and Dimension Saint God, Rosen and the Ancient God harbored ill intentions towards each other. Rosen wanted to use the Chaos Saint God and his allies to eliminate the Ancient God and seize the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, while the Ancient God wanted to weaken and severely wound Rosen as much as possible.

His continuous rescue of Rosen was merely to prevent Rosen from losing too badly. After all, if Rosen died, the Ancient God alone would struggle to cope with the Chaos Saint God's siege. Rosen was now very certain that the Ancient God's Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe might be even stronger than it appeared.

Otherwise, facing the blockade of the Dimensional Micro-Universe, the Ancient God shouldn't sit back and watch the Chaos Saint God and him fight to the death. Clearly, he was completely confident in being able to escape the Dimensional Micro-Universe, which was why he dared to watch the tigers fight, waiting for them to both suffer heavy losses.

Rosen could understand this point, and the Chaos Saint God and his allies certainly could as well. So, he clearly noticed that the Dimension Saint God in the Dimensional Micro-Universe began to fold dimensions layer by layer, further sealing spacetime. Gradually, the Dimension Saint God even stopped using the Dimensional Micro-Universe to help the Chaos Saint God approach him.

The Ancient God also noticed the changes in the Dimensional Micro-Universe. After weighing his options, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe locked onto Rosen and struck from afar. Almost instantly, one hundred points of both the Ancient God's and Rosen's Indestructible Will were simultaneously severed.

The Chaos Saint God seized the opportunity, continuously blocking the Doomsday Holy Spear's barrage with the Chaos Void, closing in on Rosen. Before Rosen could make a move against the Ancient God, the Ancient God had already launched a fatal attack on Rosen first. Clearly, the current level of spacetime blockade in the Dimensional Micro-Universe couldn't trouble the Ancient God, but if the Dimension Saint God continued to strengthen the blockade, it might be a different story. This was why the Ancient God couldn't sit still and decided to personally intervene to help the Chaos Saint God eliminate Rosen as quickly as possible.

Facing the deadly internal and external threats, Rosen released the Universe Between and hid within it. The Chaos Saint God immediately prepared to use the Universe Source Seed to pursue him into the Universe Between, but was blocked by the Universe Between itself. This result left the Chaos Saint God momentarily stunned.

The Universe Between was a very special Primeval Sacred Object, whose greatest purpose was to make it easier to control the New Universe. However, the Universe Between's defense was also very strong; true Primeval Lifeforms found it difficult to break through. In the Chaos Saint God's view, it was impossible for the Heaven and Earth Saint God to completely control the Universe Between.

This was because there were still three Universe Source Seeds, held by him, the Dimension Saint God, and the Ancient God respectively. This was also why the Heaven and Earth Saint God getting the Universe Between didn't particularly alarm him and the Dimension Saint God. But now it seemed, the Heaven and Earth Saint God had clearly used some means to completely control the Universe Between.

It would be very difficult to kill the Heaven and Earth Saint God in a short time. The Chaos Saint God immediately shifted his target, preparing to eliminate the Ancient God first. The Ancient God helplessly prepared to destroy the Dimensional Micro-Universe and escape. His Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe still had the Chaos Saint God's Indestructible Will inside, pinpointing it. If he simply tore spacetime, the Chaos Saint God would interfere, not to mention the Dimension Saint God would do his utmost to blockade the Dimensional Micro-Universe.

So, from the beginning, the Ancient God's true trump card for escape was to destroy the Dimensional Micro-Universe. The Ancient God Micro-Universe within the Ancient God's body merged along his arm into the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe. The Ancient God Micro-Universe instantly collapsed, forming the World-Destroying power of a universe. After this World-Destroying power was infused into the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, it grew more than tenfold in power. With one swing, the Dimension Cube and the Dimensional Micro-Universe were cleaved in two.

The Ancient God lightly swung the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, tearing spacetime, and vanished into the spacetime rift. Rosen also seized the opportunity, putting away the Universe Between and opening a space-time trans-boundary gate, moving far away from the continuously collapsing Dimensional Micro-Universe.

Everyone had underestimated the Ancient God's Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe. They thought it was terrifying enough that the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe could tear spacetime in the endless deep space, and horrific enough that it could kill a thousand enemies from afar while taking a thousand losses to itself, severing Indestructible Will. They never expected that the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe's most terrifying aspect was its ability to destroy worlds.

The destructive power displayed by that axe strike probably couldn't be withstood by many Primeval Lifeforms. At this moment, the most regretful was probably the Dimension Saint God. The Dimensional Micro-Universe being cleaved in two by the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was nothing, because as long as the material origin forming the Dimensional Micro-Universe remained, rebuilding a new Dimensional Micro-Universe wouldn't be difficult. What the Dimension Saint God truly lost was the Primeval Sacred Object, the Dimension Cube.

Even if the Dimension Cube could be repaired, it certainly couldn't be done in a short time. So, after the Dimension Saint God unfolded his domain to envelop the remnants of the Dimensional Micro-Universe, he directly fled into the darkness, moving away from the Chaos Saint God. This was the Dimension Saint God's most vulnerable moment, and what he guarded against most now was the Chaos Saint God.

Rosen released the Doomsday Ark, pondering his hunting target. The Chaos Saint God's strength was not diminished at all, so he was immediately ruled out as a hunting target.

What remained of the Dimension Saint God, though severely damaged, still had his Primeval Sacred Body and Indestructible Will intact. Defeating him was easy, but killing him was too difficult.

Sure enough, the Ancient God is the easiest to kill. Like me, his Primeval Sacred Body isn't complete.

However, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was too formidable. The Ancient God could escape at any time, so he needed to figure out a way to trap him to death. Rosen piloted the Doomsday Ark, beginning his search for the Ancient God, but couldn't find him anywhere. This made him realize that the Ancient God was actually avoiding him? This was abnormal. Although they constantly backstabbed each other, it didn't prevent them from continuing to cooperate.

Only with the Doomsday Ark and the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe combined would their chances of catching up to the New Universe increase. The Ancient God, controlling the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, moved freely and shouldn't be worried about him acting against him alone.

Therefore, there was only one possibility: the Ancient God's seemingly effortless destruction of the Dimensional Micro-Universe came at a significant cost, leaving him without the extra power to destroy a second micro-universe with the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe. That's why he was wary of Rosen and actively avoided the Doomsday Ark.

Rosen immediately realized this was the best opportunity to hunt the Ancient God. The Ancient God had to be nearby, because his wariness of Rosen was only due to not being at peak condition. Once the Ancient God recovered, he would still need to ride Rosen's Doomsday Ark to pursue the New Universe, so the Ancient God wouldn't hide too far away to avoid getting lost.

Rosen activated the Eye of Night Veil, subtly sensing the seemingly endless Primeval Night Veil power in the endless deep space. He even released countless Night Veil Parasitic Flowers, quietly scattering them throughout the endless deep space. Under the concealment of the Primeval Night Veil power, it was almost impossible for the Ancient God to sense the Night Veil Parasitic Flowers. Conversely, as soon as the Ancient God approached a Night Veil Parasitic Flower, it would be difficult to hide again.

The Doomsday Ark continued to pursue the New Universe, constantly spreading Night Veil Parasitic Flowers in its wake. Soon enough, they discovered the spacetime rifts torn by the Ancient God. After a few instances, he roughly determined how far the Ancient God opened a spacetime rift each time. The moment the Night Veil Parasitic Flower discovered another spacetime rift, Rosen vanished from the Doomsday Ark and appeared near the spacetime rift.

By the time the Ancient God stepped out of the spacetime rift, Rosen had already expanded his Creator's Domain, which had merged with the Miracle Star Sea. Although the Ancient God immediately prepared to tear open the spacetime rift and escape, Rosen had already acted faster, integrating the Root Micro-Universe into the domain. After sending the Ancient God into the Root Micro-Universe, he immediately retreated into the Universe Between, forming multiple layers of spacetime blockade.

Rosen didn't have the Dimension Cube, but the spacetime blockade of the Universe Between surpassed that of the Dimension Cube. Using the counterfeit Universe Source Seed transformed from the Root Source Seed, combined with the Indestructible Source Seed's parasitic control over all things, he forcibly refined the Universe Between. Although he couldn't fully unleash its complete power, it was enough to prevent the Ancient God's Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe from tearing spacetime rifts.

Unless the Ancient God could once again unleash that axe strike that destroyed the Dimensional Micro-Universe, he wouldn't be able to escape the Root Micro-Universe. The Ancient God's Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe slashed through spacetime several times, but it couldn't escape Rosen's micro-universe.

The Ancient God Micro-Universe, which he had to destroy to unleash the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe's world-destroying power, was now undergoing reconstruction. However, a complete reconstruction would take at least several centuries. This meant he would be trapped by Rosen for hundreds of years. Enduring meant living, failing meant dying at Rosen's hands.

The Ancient God unhesitatingly took out the Blue Star, which had shrunk into a sphere, and then hid in the half-finished micro-universe deep within the Blue Star. Back then, he had paid a considerable price to obtain the Blue Star from the Dimension Saint God. In the Dimension Saint God's eyes, the Blue Star was merely a special Eternal-level transcendent star, but in his eyes, the Blue Star's value was no less than that of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe.

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe contained the power of destruction and creation. To activate its destructive power, it had to absorb the destructive power of a collapsing micro-universe. As for the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe's creative power, the Ancient God still hadn't figured out how to activate it.

However, the Blue Star was the only existence that could trigger the stirrings of creative power. Furthermore, the Blue Star's defensive capabilities were growing in sync with the growth of its internal micro-universe. To this day, the Blue Star's defense was no less than that of a defensive Primeval Sacred Object.

Rosen wielded the Indestructible Sacred Sword, concentrating all his strength to strike the Blue Star's body again and again. Even if everything on the Blue Star's surface was instantly extinguished, the Blue Star's inherent spacetime reincarnation would immediately reset its surface. All damage from the Indestructible Sacred Sword could not penetrate beyond the Blue Star's surface reset to reach the half-finished internal micro-universe.

Rosen tried to use the time source seed originating from the Blue Star to cross the spacetime reincarnation and enter the Blue Star's interior. But it was useless. The Ancient God's Indestructible Will had completely controlled the spacetime reincarnation on the Blue Star's surface.

Rosen could only inject the Indestructible Source Seed into the spacetime reincarnation on the Blue Star's surface, forcibly contending with the Ancient God for control over the spacetime reincarnation. Although the Indestructible Source Seed had a huge advantage in this aspect, it would still take at least tens of thousands of years to completely expel the Ancient God's Indestructible Will.

This was already quite good. At least he could forcibly seize the spacetime reincarnation, while the Ancient God had no ability to forcibly seize the Doomsday Ark. However, after tens of thousands of years, the Ancient God would surely have recovered and destroyed the Root Micro-Universe with one axe swing.

Therefore, contending with the Ancient God for spacetime reincarnation through the Indestructible Source Seed was merely a façade. The true purpose of the Indestructible Source Seed and the Ancient God's Indestructible Will continuously clashing was to subtly send the Night Veil Parasitic Flower into the Ancient God's memories and then use the Personality Deduction Method to dissect the Ancient God's memories.

Rosen's Eternal Will transforming into Indestructible Will only began after he narrowly survived the Memory World. The Ancient God's Eternal Will transforming into Indestructible Will relied purely on quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

In the past, Rosen believed that the Ancient God, after falling dormant and manifesting as all things, did so to heal the wounds inflicted by the World Tree. Later, knowing that the Ancient God could stand on equal footing with the Dimension Saint God and his allies, he understood that the World Tree, reborn in the Ancient God's world after his fall, could not possibly harm the Ancient God again, nor could it force the Ancient God to abandon the old world and open a new one.

The Ancient God, creating a new world and manifesting as all things had the true purpose of using the power of all living beings to strengthen his own Eternal Will. Then, quantitative change would lead to qualitative change, allowing the Eternal Will to naturally transform into Indestructible Will.

To strengthen his Eternal Will, the Ancient God even manifested his Divine Origin into all things. All life in the Ancient God World originating from the Ancient God's Divine Origin would, upon death, have their Divine Origin return to become part of the Ancient God. While this continually strengthened the Ancient God's foundation, the memories derived from all beings also made the Ancient God's memories incredibly complex.

To maintain the purity of his self-consciousness, the Ancient God had no choice but to erase the memories belonging to all beings. However, memories, no matter how much they are deleted, can never be completely erased. As long as something has existed, it leaves a trace. What Rosen was doing now was helping the Ancient God retrieve these erased memories.

Then, under the concealment of the Night Veil Parasitic Flower, these memories would form independent personalities of the Ancient God. A single independent personality couldn't overcome the Ancient God's main personality, but countless independent personalities would be enough to cause chaos within the Ancient God's Indestructible Will. At that point, by seizing control of the spacetime reincarnation, the Ancient God's Indestructible Will would have no other outcome than defeat.

Years passed, and the Ancient God increasingly felt that something was amiss. For years, Rosen had been constantly contending with him for control over the spacetime reincarnation. Although there were some gains, they were too small. Based on his understanding of Rosen, once a path proved futile, he wouldn't blindly stick to it.

Therefore, this had to be merely Rosen's overt offensive; Rosen must have other hidden means. However, no matter how he searched, the Ancient God couldn't find Rosen's hidden methods.

Until this day, the memories within the Ancient God's Indestructible Will suddenly perceived countless self-personalities formed from different memories, all appearing out of thin air to contend with him for control of the Indestructible Will. Although a single personality was very weak, it was extremely difficult to eliminate all of them.

The Ancient God realized this was Rosen's hidden method, using different personalities at the memory level to weaken his control over the Indestructible Will. Helplessly, the Ancient God could only exert all his strength to eradicate those hostile memory personalities.

Rosen's Indestructible Source Seed seized the opportunity to quickly take control of the spacetime reincarnation. The Ancient God's main personality manipulated his Indestructible Will to resist the Indestructible Source Seed, but those out-of-control memory personalities, conversely, manipulated the Indestructible Will to actively relinquish control of the spacetime reincarnation.

In less than a year, Rosen had completely taken control of the Blue Star's surface spacetime reincarnation. The Indestructible Source Seed continued to delve deeper, beginning to contend with the Ancient God for control of the Blue Star's crust and the half-finished micro-universe deep within the Blue Star.

The Ancient God's Indestructible Will suffered continuous defeats. By the time he annihilated the last rebellious personality and re-erased all rebellious personalities' memories, the Ancient God had already lost control of the Blue Star's crust, retaining only control of the internal half-finished micro-universe.

But how could a half-finished micro-universe resist Rosen's Root Micro-Universe? Rosen's true body directly broke into the Blue Star's micro-universe, and the Indestructible Sacred Sword directly struck the Ancient God's true body. The Chaos Saint God had the Chaos Void to block the Indestructible Sacred Sword, but the Ancient God simply couldn't block it. The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe failed one block, and his Eternal Sacred Body was already cleaved in two by the Indestructible Sacred Sword. Before the Eternal Sacred Body could regenerate, it was sliced into a bloody pulp by the Indestructible Sacred Sword.

Without a Primeval Sacred Body, a sinful lifeform's body could still be immortal and indestructible due to the Indestructible Will. However, the body's recovery speed was far inferior to that of a Primeval Sacred Body. Therefore, facing the continuous damage from the Eternal Lifeforms of the Saint God Hall, the body could only fall into an endless cycle of regeneration and destruction. Once destroyed, it was difficult to fully recover and launch an effective counterattack, only enduring passive beatings in the long term, eventually leading to being sealed.

The Ancient God was in the same situation now. His Eternal Sacred Body was destroyed, and he couldn't stand up once he fell. Rosen would destroy a little, and he would recover a little. The Ancient God could only integrate his Indestructible Will into the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, temporarily abandoning the regeneration of his Eternal Sacred Body.

Without an Eternal Sacred Body and no need for defense, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe's offensive became even more ferocious, but its destructive power greatly decreased. This was because the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was now releasing only its own destructive power, having lost the power bonus provided by the Eternal Sacred Body. No matter how powerful the Indestructible Will, without an Eternal Sacred Body, the power it displayed would be greatly diminished.

Even though the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe severely wounded Rosen's Eternal Sacred Body several times, it was still gradually suppressed by the Indestructible Sacred Sword until it was slowly suppressed and sealed by the Miracle Star Sea. However, this only defeated the Ancient God; it was still very far from killing him.

Rosen sat cross-legged in front of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, which was sealed in layers. Now, the Ancient God's Indestructible Will was hidden within it. Using the Night Veil Parasitic Flower remaining inside the Ancient God's Indestructible Will, his Indestructible Will began to intertwine with the Ancient God's Indestructible Will. After transforming his own Indestructible Will to be of the same origin as the Ancient God's using the Myriad Transformation Sacred Law, the two Indestructible Wills began to intertwine, becoming inseparable.

When Rosen seized the spacetime reincarnation and the Blue Star's crust, he considered assimilating their Indestructible Wills through the Myriad Transformation Sacred Law. However, fakes were fakes. Although the Myriad Transformation Sacred Law could create a semblance of reality, fakes were only good for bullying those weaker than him. Wanting to swallow the Ancient God's true Indestructible Will with a fake Indestructible Will was somewhat wishful thinking.

At this moment, with their Indestructible Wills intertwined, the Ancient God's Indestructible Will clearly held the absolute upper hand. However, Rosen's memories had already begun to battle with the Ancient God's memories within the assimilated and intertwined Indestructible Wills of both sides. Whoever's memories were stronger held the greater advantage.

Rosen was initially at an absolute disadvantage in the memory-level conflict, but as time passed, the Personality Deduction Method, under the concealment of the Night Veil Parasitic Flower, began to revive the memories previously deleted by the Ancient God, once again creating countless memory personalities to impact the Ancient God's main personality.

The tide of the memory-level war gradually began to turn. The Ancient God's main personality had more and more memories scattered and erased. Until the last bit of the main personality's memory was concealed by the Night Veil Parasitic Flower, Rosen began to use the Personality Deduction Method to destroy all of the Ancient God's remaining memory personalities. When all of the Ancient God's personal memories were erased, his memories successfully took over the Ancient God's Indestructible Will.

Rosen did not merge these Indestructible Wills. Foreign Indestructible Wills, once merged, would eventually become a hidden danger. He chose to scatter the Ancient God's Indestructible Will, completely severing any chance of the Ancient God's revival.
