159: Center of the Myriad Realms

"Whew..."

When their feet finally stepped onto the solid ground, which seemed to contain some ancient power, Lin Ye and Su Qingyue both gasped for air like drowning people!

They slowly opened their eyes.

What met their gaze was a boundless, floating continent, filled with an endless sacred and ancient aura!

The sky was no longer the firmament they were familiar with. Instead, it was an indescribable, brilliant canopy woven from countless colorful "Rivers of Law"! Each "river" seemed to contain the birth, death, and Reincarnation of a world!

The earth presented an ancient, chaotic color, made of an unknown material. Upon it, there were no mountains, rivers, or vegetation, only ancient stone tablets, tens of thousands of feet tall, emitting terrifying Divine Might!

Those stone tablets, like silent giants, stood quietly in every corner of this continent, as if silently narrating the ancientness and immortality of this world!

And at the end of that continent, an indescribable, heaven-reaching Divine Hall, seemingly condensed from the entire Universe and galaxy, loomed into view! It emanated a supreme Divine Might capable of making even a God Emperor submit!

"This... is this..." Su Qingyue looked at the scene before her, filled with endless shock and sacred aura.

Lin Ye frowned, sensing the vastly different Law in this world!

Indestructible!!!

He could clearly feel that the spatial Law here was more than ten thousand times more stable than in the Cangxuan Divine Realm he had previously inhabited!

He tried to extend his God Emperor-level Divine Thought, which was capable of tearing through the Void Realm.

However, his vast, sea-like Divine Thought, the moment it left his body, seemed to sink into a swamp, utterly unable to move!

"Wh-what's going on?!"

Lin Ye's heart sank sharply!

He was horrified to discover that his Divine Thought, which could cover the entire Cangxuan Divine Realm, was here forcibly suppressed to within a mere hundred meters!

He tried again to mobilize the Divine Power within his body, wanting to fly through the air!

However!

His terrifying Divine Power, which allowed him to travel through time and space, when infused into his legs, was like a stone sinking into the sea! His body only lifted three inches off the ground!

Then, he was severely pressed back to the ground by an irresistible, terrifying Divine Might of heaven and earth!

A God Emperor... couldn't fly here?!

Lin Ye's heart completely sank to the bottom!

He suddenly turned his head and exchanged glances with Su Qingyue, both seeing an uncontrollable look of horror in the other's eyes!

They had discovered a terrifying truth that could overturn all their understanding!

Here!

Their supreme Divine Power, which could overturn rivers and seas and destroy heaven and earth in the Lower Realm... seemed to have been crippled?!

"Heh heh... two more 'newcomers' who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth have arrived."

Just then, an ancient voice, full of the vicissitudes of endless years, yet with a hint of playfulness and pity, suddenly sounded behind them.

Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, suddenly turned their heads!

They saw that not far behind them, beneath an ancient stone tablet that had been empty moments before, a figure had appeared at some unknown time!

It was a gaunt old man, completely shrouded in a gray cloak. He looked so ordinary, so... common. As if he were just a Mortal on the verge of death.

His aura was far more than ten times stronger than that of the Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor back then!

"Se-Senior..." Lin Ye forcibly suppressed the surging waves in his heart and respectfully bowed to the gaunt old man, "May I ask... where is this place...?"

"Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain."

The gaunt old man didn't even lift his head, merely answering in his hoarse voice.

"It is the Origin of all worlds."

"It is also... the destination of all powerhouses."

"And even more so..."

He slowly raised his head, his turbid eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hood and seemingly having experienced countless cycles of Reincarnation, calmly looked at Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, his gaze filled with pity.

"...the cage of all who call themselves 'Gods'."

A cage?!

Lin Ye's heart trembled violently!

"Little fellow, no need to panic." The old man seemed to see through the shock in his heart and chuckled hoarsely, "This old man has no ill intentions. It's just that I've been sitting here on this 'Reception Platform' for tens of thousands of years, and it's rare to see two... interesting little fellows."

"Reception Platform?"

"Indeed." The old man nodded, "This is the 'Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain', specifically used to receive 'newcomers' like you, who have fortunately Ascended from billions of lower planes."

"As for this old man..." He pointed to himself, "I am merely a 'Scavenger' trapped here, unable to even step out of this 'cage'."

"Scavenger?"

"Heh heh..." The old man let out a chilling, dry laugh, "That's what you 'newcomers' call us. Because we specifically 'collect' the 'trash' left behind by 'Genius' who fall in the trials."

These words made Lin Ye's heart sink once again!

"Senior," he forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart and asked the question he cared about most, "May I ask... how do we cultivate here in the Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain?"

"Cultivate?" The old man seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He pointed to the boundless "River of Law" and chuckled hoarsely, "Little fellow, do you think your so-called God Emperor cultivation is very strong?"

Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply!

"Let me tell you."

The old man slowly stood up, his gaunt figure at this moment seeming even more majestic than the ten-thousand-foot stone tablet!

"In this 'Center of the Myriad Realms Divine Domain', a God Emperor is merely an 'entry-level' Disciple who has just touched the threshold of cultivation!"

"The God Emperor realm, in our mouths, has a more fitting name..."

A hint of cold mockery flashed in his turbid eyes.

"—The Realm Dominator!"

"Only those who can truly control the birth, death, and Reincarnation of a great world are qualified to be called... a Realm Dominator!"

"And above the Realm Dominator..."

He slowly raised his hand, pointing towards the heaven-reaching Divine Hall that stood at the end of the continent, seemingly integrated with the entire Universe and galaxy!

"...are those Dominators who have truly transcended the shackles of the world and initially grasped the power of the 'World Origin'!"

Realm Dominator!

Dominator!

Two brand new terms, filled with supreme majesty and terrifying aura, struck Lin Ye and Su Qingyue's hearts like heavy hammers!

Their mindset, which had been slightly inflated by "Ascension in a single leap," was utterly shattered at this moment!

So... God Emperor was only... the starting point?!
