308: The Lord of Heaven is coming?

"This monster has become the cancer of this world."

"It must Return to Zero."

The figure known as the Order Celestial Sovereign made a decision.

He did not dispatch any armies, nor did he issue any decrees.

He rose personally.

With one step, he strode out of the floating temple and descended into the real world.

At this moment, every living being in the entire Demon Suppression Realm, whether Mortal, Cultivator, or monster in the deep mountains, felt an indescribable "Stasis" originating from the depths of their Soul.

The wind stopped.

It was not that it stopped blowing, but that the concept of "blowing" had been temporarily erased from the world.

The clouds solidified.

It was not that they stopped drifting, but that the Law of "flow" had been forcibly paused.

Newborn Town.

The smiles on the faces of the villagers, who had just been cheering for a bountiful harvest, froze.

Time had not stopped, but all their life activities—heartbeats, breathing, the flow of blood—were trending toward an absolute "immobility" under an irresistible, mighty force.

The sky was fading.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple—all colors seemed to be rudely wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving only the most primitive, monotonous gray and white.

A figure stepped out of the nothingness beneath this gray-white canopy.

He wore a black Daoist robe, his face stiff like a rock that had remained unchanged for eternity.

His eyes were the two gray vortexes within the Demon Suppression Headquarters temple that devoured everything.

Order Celestial Sovereign.

He did not descend; he "defined" the reality here.

The place where he stood was the center of "Absolute Stasis".

"You are the cancer cell of this world."

The gaze of the Order Celestial Sovereign fell upon Li Dong, devoid of any emotion, as if stating a physical formula.

He did not release any pressure, but his very existence was crazily draining the vitality of this land.

The emerald green wheat seedlings withered, turned yellow, and crumbled into ash at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Spirit Beast that had just been running happily stiffened, the light in its eyes rapidly dimming as it turned back into a lifeless monster sculpture.

This was his Domain—【Absolute Stasis】.

In this Domain, all "Variables" were errors, and all "life" were bugs that needed to be corrected.

Li Dong looked up at this walking concept.

He did not release power to resist, but instead took a step forward, voluntarily entering that dead, gray-white silence.

"No."

Li Dong spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, stirring ripples on the level of the Laws that were about to solidify.

"I am not a cancer cell."

"I am the antidote."

The moment the words fell, a brilliant light curtain erupted from him as the center!

That was not a magical shield; that was a living Domain!

【Sanctuary of Variables】!

Within the Holy Land, the stubbornness of A Mu wielding a hoe, the sweat of Stone leading the villagers to reclaim wasteland, the unwillingness of the old village chief when kneeling to beg for mercy, the courage of all the villagers when they picked up weapons to resist...

All the "possibilities" sown by Li Dong and accepted by the people of this land now turned into the most real images, flowing within the light curtain!

Even a brushstroke from beyond a distant dimension traveled across the Void Realm!

That was Mo Chen's paintbrush!

He sensed Li Dong's crisis in his own world and was now using a scroll as a medium to depict the most intense "protection" and "resistance" in his heart, painting it as a towering lighthouse totem branded into the core of the 【Sanctuary of Variables】!

Hum—!

The brilliant light curtain collided fiercely with the gray-white Domain.

On one side, the absolute dead silence that erased everything.

On the other, the infinite vitality that encompassed all things.

Two completely opposite "truths" unfolded the most primitive and savage mutual overriding above Newborn Town!

For the first time, a ripple appeared on the Order Celestial Sovereign's eternally unchanging face.

He saw that under the erosion of his 【Absolute Stasis】 Domain, a phantom of a wheat seedling at the edge of the Holy Land's light curtain withered.

But the next instant, from the core of the Holy Land, ten, a hundred new wheat seedling phantoms grew, even stronger and greener!

His "Stasis" had actually become a catalyst for the opponent's "evolution"!

"Heretical Law."

The Order Celestial Sovereign raised his hand, and endless "Stasis" Law condensed in his palm.

It was no longer an invisible Domain, but a highly compressed and purified entity.

A gray light spear composed of the pure concept of "End" took shape.

【Spear of Order】.

Once this spear appeared, it had nothing to do with power or speed; it represented a "period," the "final chapter" of a story.

Whoever it pointed at, their "existence" should come to an end at that moment.

The light spear tore through space, piercing straight toward Li Dong's glabella.

The galaxy flowing in Li Dong's eyes accelerated to the extreme in an instant.

【Attunement】!

In the instant before the light spear arrived, he had already analyzed all its Law composition and underlying logic clearly.

"It shares the same Origin as 'equilibrium', but it is more... extreme and fragile."

He did not dodge, nor did he block.

He reached out, splayed his fingers, and met the light spear that represented "End."

【Anti-Devour】!

In the eyes of the Order Celestial Sovereign, who could not comprehend this, the moment the 【Spear of Order】 touched Li Dong's palm, it did not erupt with any destructive power.

It was like a poisonous snake with its seven inches pinched, struggling madly, but it was forcibly "dismantled" and "digested" by an even more overbearing concept!

The "Stasis" Law that composed the light spear was chewed and absorbed by Li Dong like food, then converted into nutrients for his own 【Dynamic Equilibrium】 Law!

Li Dong's aura did not decrease but increased, climbing steadily!

"How... is... this possible?!"

The Order Celestial Sovereign's eyes, composed of Laws, contracted violently.

This was the first time since his birth that he had spoken a word containing a question.

Devouring "Absolute Stasis"?

This violated all the truths he knew! It was like fire devouring itself, or water drowning itself!

"Nothing is impossible."

Li Dong clenched his fist, feeling the brand-new power surging within him, and looked at his opponent indifferently.

"Your 'Stasis' is merely a phased product in the process of the Universe moving toward heat death."

"And my 'Variable' is the most fundamental driving force that propelled the Universe from the singularity explosion to its current flourishing state."

"You are too low-level."

"Presumptuous!!!"

The Order Celestial Sovereign was thoroughly enraged!

He no longer held back, spreading his arms, and those two gray vortex eyes of Law began to spin crazily, pulling on the Origin of the entire Demon Suppression Realm!

"Since the Variable cannot be corrected, then the drawing board carrying the Variable shall be formatted together with it!"

"Ultimate Command—"

"【Dimension Return to Zero】!"

Boom!!!!!!

The apocalypse descended.

This time, it was no longer the erosion of concepts, but a total collapse on the physical level!

The space where Newborn Town was located began to show countless cracks, like a crumpled piece of paper.

The earth, the sky, the mountains, the rivers... all tangible things were collapsing toward "nothingness."

The villagers let out desperate screams. Their bodies were decomposing—not death, but a "disappearance" more terrifying than death, being completely erased from this world.

Li Dong's eyes narrowed.

He knew this was the opponent's final trump card and strongest blow.

He did not try to repair the broken space; that would be futile.

He raised his right hand high, and that illusory 【Blade of Judgment】 appeared in his palm.

"Your 'Return to Zero' is deletion."

Li Dong stared at those two crazily spinning gray vortexes, his expression focused as never before.

"And my 'Return to Zero'..."

He poured all his supreme understanding of Laws and his glimpse into the ultimate mysteries of the Universe into the blade!

"Is a return to the 'Singularity'!"

【Blade of Judgment】, slash!

This slash did not strike at the Order Celestial Sovereign, nor did it strike at the collapsing world.

It turned into an indescribable light, a pure "command" that forcibly pierced into the core of the 【Dimension Return to Zero】 Law that was being executed!

Tamper! Inject! Rewrite!

The 【Dimension Return to Zero】 command, which was crazily formatting everything, suddenly paused.

The next second, it did not stop; instead, it ran in reverse in an even more violent and thorough way!

Not "erasing all things," but "restoring all things to their Origin"!

"Arghhhhhh!!!"

The Order Celestial Sovereign let out a painful roar that did not sound like it could come from a living being.

On the surface of his body, the eternally unchanging black Daoist robe shattered inch by inch, and cracks even began to appear on his rock-hard body!

What shone through those cracks was not light, nor was it energy.

But faces—painful, twisted, yet filled with endless longing!

That was the "humanity" belonging to himself that he had personally erased in order to achieve "Absolute Order."

It was his former seven emotions and six desires, his dreams from his youth, the "Variable" that had been suppressed for eternity!

The command of 【Dimension Return to Zero】 was tampered with, triggering the 【Origin Restoration】 program inside his body in reverse!

He was being "Returned to Zero" by himself!
