Layers upon layers of illusory whispers echoed within the magnificent palace. A vortex of dark gold mist covered the entire grand hall, and time seemed to lose its meaning here.
Suddenly, the dark gold mist-filled sky was pierced by numerous transparent, slippery tentacles. A vortex formed by transparent worms slowly rotated, and a figure composed of transparent worms and slippery tentacles emerged, looking down at the dark gold vortex below. The dark gold vortex seemed to sense something, and an illusory figure gradually condensed at its center.
"An interesting soul, an unexpected variable," the layered, illusory voice echoed. "It's a pity that you don't even possess divinity. Even at the end of the epoch, you won't truly succeed. The original imprint contained within a portion of the Origin cannot be worn away by time alone."
Amidst the echoing whispers, a tentacle covered in mysterious, twisted patterns pierced through the void. Accompanied by a sharp, unwilling roar, the tentacle, wrapped around a chaotic-colored eyeball that pulsed like a heart and a chaotic-colored crystal covered in twisted, mysterious symbols, returned to the figure formed by the convergence of worms and tentacles. "As expected of the Omniscient and Omnipotent One, who foresaw my arrival. So be it, leave this variable. This deity also wants to see if the future will be more interesting."
The tentacle, carrying the eyeball and the chaotic crystal, instantly arrived at the dark gold vortex below. It embedded the eyeball at the apex of the tall throne above the nine-step stone stairs. Chaotic-colored ripples burst forth from within the spherical orb, accompanied by an indescribable roar, mixing into the dark gold vortex.
The chaotic crystal mingled with the dark gold mist, forming a chaotic-colored, translucent cuboid that fell below the throne. The slippery tentacle, flowing with mysterious, twisted patterns, automatically detached and absorbed the surrounding dark gold mist, transforming into an ancient, silver-gray ring that fell beside the translucent cuboid. The chaotic color and the silver-gray color reflected each other, as if in opposition.
"The mental imprint left by the Chaos Child's infiltration into the Chaos Uniqueness within the Original Barrier is enough to consume the imprint left by the Original in this portion of the Origin. In that case, let Chaos obediently be my wick. Now, I should seal the remaining Origin." The layered whispers echoed and then dissipated, and the vortex formed by transparent worms also vanished.
The dark gold figure within the dark gold mist vortex above the throne seemed to sense something. Its figure gradually disintegrated, and the dark gold vortex contracted and expanded before returning to stillness.
.........
Whispers and roars echoed in Ren Yu's consciousness, accompanied by various bizarre and fantastical scenes.
Below the magnificent palace, a point of light formed by the convergence of dark gold mist constantly contracted and expanded, emitting waves of prayer.
"You are the Emperor who rules the human world;"
"You are the ruler of the boundless earth;"
"You are the shadow of order;"
Continuous streams of prayer were particularly piercing amidst the whispers and roars. Although he didn't recognize the language, he clearly understood its meaning. Ren Yu, whose consciousness was hazy, felt as if he had just woken from a nightmare, and his chaotic consciousness suddenly cleared.
Within the magnificent palace, a figure gradually solidified within the dark gold mist vortex on the tall throne, where the chaotic-colored eyeball was embedded.
Ren Yu rubbed his temples, sitting on the throne and murmuring, "How long have I been asleep? Thanks to the help of the Heavenly Venerate later, otherwise, I would have truly been assimilated by the mental imprint. And thanks to these prayers, otherwise, I don't know when I would have woken up."
"A three-segment honorific name: The Emperor who rules the human world, the ruler of the boundless earth, the shadow of order. This is a deity's honorific name, which should correspond to the Black Emperor Sequence. Someone has achieved Black Emperor. Is it Emperor Solomon or my fellow countryman, Huang Tao - Roselle - Gustav?"
Ren Yu looked at the dark gold light point that was constantly contracting and expanding below, gritted his teeth, and extended his consciousness.
A black mausoleum stood proudly, displaying an attitude of extreme grandeur. Various strange texts and symbols were inscribed around the mausoleum, bringing an indescribable sense of majesty and distortion.
A majestic figure covered in black armor and wearing a dark crown stood at the top of the mausoleum. Centered around the mausoleum, countless humans, numbering in the thousands, prostrated themselves on the ground facing it.
Ren Yu instantly severed his consciousness. The dark gold mist below, which had been constantly contracting and expanding, immediately returned to stillness. The layers of prayer gradually dissipated, and the whispers and roars gradually intensified.
"Fortunately, I was cautious and severed the connection in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable." Ren Yu frowned, forcefully suppressing the whispers and roars, and murmured while sitting on the throne.
"This looks like the Black Emperor's deification ritual. It seems that as the Origin corresponding to the Black Emperor Sequence and the Arbiter Sequence, I, who has initially grasped the Kingdom of Disorder, can sense the corresponding prayers when a Sequence 0 is born in the corresponding pathway. Fortunately, I was cautious and severed the connection in time, otherwise, in my current state of having the position but lacking extraordinary characteristics, I would be dead if discovered."
"There is a lack of steam creations around the giant mausoleum, and this Black Emperor is not fighting with other true gods. If it were my fellow countryman, Huang Tao - Roselle - Gustav, he would definitely be getting severely beaten by the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery."
"So, that must be Emperor Solomon. This should be the period right after the Fourth Epoch's Era of Conflict ended, when Solomon achieved Black Emperor and established the First Solomon Empire."
"No wonder after being awakened, I could barely overcome the urge to fall back asleep. The outside world has already reached the Fourth Epoch, and the mental imprint left by the Original in the Kingdom of Disorder has significantly faded. The Outer God's imprint in the Chaos Uniqueness has also been largely worn away during the three epochs of confrontation with the Original's imprint."
Ren Yu looked back at the chaotic-colored eyeball at the apex of the magnificent throne, sighing silently, "As expected of the Exalted Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Fortune and Longevity, the Ruler of the Spirit World, and the Lord of Mysteries. His generosity is truly extraordinary."
"It seems the Lord of Mysteries did not seal me along with this portion of the Origin on the Western Continent. What is the price of this karma? To help the Lord of Mysteries reappear? Does that God have the same purpose?"
"Am I lucky or unlucky? As soon as I transmigrated, I encountered the strongest bosses, two Pillar-level Old Ones, entering my home as if they were playing." Ren Yu couldn't help but raise his hand to press his temples, his heart filled with frantic complaints.
"Looking at it this way, this Chaos Uniqueness should come from the Outer God Chaos Child, who infiltrated his power, which is the genie in the future Sealed Item 0-05, the Wishing Lamp. I wonder if He is still worthy of the designation 0-05 after the Uniqueness was stripped away by the Lord of Mysteries."
"And the Kingdom of Disorder can actually accommodate this Outer God Uniqueness. It seems this Outer God pathway is indeed a similar sequence to the Arbiter and Black Emperor Sequences."
"It's a pity that it's still the Fourth Epoch, and the mental imprints of the Original and that Outer God haven't completely faded. I hope I can catch up with the great tide of the era. Since I have come to the world of Mysteries, I naturally have to make up for regrets and ascend to godhood."
Illusory murmurs echoed within the magnificent grand hall, gradually drowning in the increasingly intense whispers and roars.
Unlike before, the illusory figure above the throne no longer disintegrated into a dark gold vortex but gradually solidified. The dark gold mist contracted and expanded, spreading outwards from the center of the huge, magnificent, and bizarre-looking double-peaked palace. The chaotic-colored eyeball at the apex of the throne within the palace gradually flickered, alternating between dark gold and chaos.
