403: A person's experience

The experience in this world has finally come to an end!

The three most powerful opponents are dead, and there is nothing in this entire world that can threaten Lu Chen's life.

Lu Chen did not stop Cultivating.

A person's true journey has just begun!

The Realm cap for the current world is the God-Man Realm.

There are still three hundred years until the experience settlement.

Lu Chen decided to use these three hundred years to Breakthrough to the God-Man Realm!

Only by doing so could he elevate the standing of the entire Cultivation civilization, paving the way for future resistance against higher-dimensional enemies.

This place was not the true Divine Realm, but merely a "Ascension Transfer Station" he created, specifically designed to devour Ascenders from the Lower Realm.

Above it, there was also a vast and boundless true Divine Realm—where stars were like a sea, and Laws were like a net, that was the ultimate territory of this Universe.

With a command from Lu Chen, tens of thousands of Divine-Grade Ghost Emperor roared in unison, transforming into a torrent that blotted out the sky and earth, following him as he tore through the Void Realm barrier and boldly charged into the Divine Realm!

In an instant, the Divine Realm trembled!

Vast Divine Power surged like a tide, countless stars automatically arranged themselves into a formation to welcome their master, billions of Yao Beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, and mountains and rivers resonated in submission—they were all chess pieces Lu Chen had laid down when creating the Divine Realm, and now they finally welcomed the return of their true Dominator!

He chose a Chaos lotus platform in the center of the Divine Realm—this place was the eye where all Laws converged, where the flow of time was controllable, and spatial density was highest.

He sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and entering a meditative state.

In the first year, he devoured three thousand Ghost Emperor Yao Beast cores, using the Divine Being's Origin as fuel to ignite the lingering dragon Qi fire within his Physical Body;

In the tenth year, he traversed the Nine Forbidden Grounds: Burning Heaven Abyss, Time Bone Valley, Void Law Tomb... each place harbored the lingering Divine Thought of ancient True Gods, which he refined one by one to complete his understanding of Laws;

In the thirtieth year, he entered the "Corridor of Destiny" instance, facing millions of his own potential failures, severing all Heart Demons, and solidifying his will like adamantine;

In the fiftieth year, he used the Ghost Emperor as a formation, setting up the "Myriad Abominations Returning to One Devouring God Array," actively drawing down the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation, and reshaping his Physical Body amidst thunder and fire;

In the seventieth year, he thoroughly comprehended the "Six Paths of Primordial Heaven Qi Art," understanding the fundamental difference between a Divine Being and a True God—the former wields Laws, while the latter creates Laws!

In the hundredth year, anomalies suddenly arose!

The entire Divine Realm trembled violently, the Nine Heavens curtain layers collapsed and reassembled, billions of stars simultaneously radiated Divine Light, and Chaos Qi transformed into golden lotuses floating down from the sky.

A pillar of light, spanning ancient and future, shot up from above Lu Chen's head, directly tearing open a Small World crack! Lu Chen could even see the real Earth outside through the crack.

However, the gap was quickly and automatically repaired.

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils now gone, replaced by a swirling galaxy and pulsating Law runes.

"Finally, I've Broken through!!"

Lu Chen reached the True God Realm!!

Compared to the God-Man Realm, Cultivators in the True God Realm have made a qualitative leap, able to truly change Laws. For example, making water burn or fire freeze is not magic; it's a fundamental alteration of the Law's core.

In terms of life form, a True God's body gradually transforms into an energy body, becoming closer to a pure energy life form, possessing stronger adaptability and resistance to attacks.

True Gods can survive in various extreme environments, unrestricted by conventional matter and energy.

The heavenly dao system's red bullet message popped up.

[Congratulations to the host, for reaching the God-Man Realm for the first time, you will receive 1 million heavenly dao energy during civilization settlement]

[Experience World Civilization Standing (CVI index): Reached 2.0, unlocking three new Realms—True God Realm, Heavenly God Realm, and God King Realm]

(The CVI index (Cosmic Vitality Index) is a universal cosmic rating standard used in higher Universes. It is not a simple numerical value, but a multi-dimensional comprehensive evaluation model, whose core formula is: CVI = α · (D) + β · (S) + γ · (E) - δ · (H). Due to this System being a test version, the specific calculation process and data are temporarily unavailable.)

Lu Chen gasped twice, inhaling sharply!!

It seems he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the Heavenly Dao! This CVI index and what higher Universes appeared for the first time??

Could it be that there are many Universes?? Lower Universes? Higher Universes? Divine-Grade Universes? Parallel Universes??

Indeed, the higher the strength and Realm, the more unknowns there were.

To verify the might of a True God, Lu Chen stood in the center of the Divine Realm and summoned a hundred Ghost Emperor of the Divine Being Realm: "Attack me with full power; I want to test it."

Although the hundred Ghost Emperor were puzzled, they dared not disobey and unleashed their strongest killing moves. Among them, the three Ghost Emperor at the Peak of the Divine Being Realm were especially terrifying:

The first: Throat of the Void · Ersha—Late Stage Divine Being, his ultimate skill, Myriad Worlds Devouring Roar, opened a giant maw, and from its black hole-like throat came the wails of billions of living beings, attempting to swallow Lu Chen along with the surrounding Laws into nothingness.

The second: Time Bone Dragon Emperor · Jin Yuan—with a sweep of his dragon tail, time fragments like blades directly cut into Lu Chen's Divine Soul Origin.

The third: Dream Weaver Dominator · Meng Tan—formless and shapeless, capable of weaving billions of layers of dreams. Those caught would be forever trapped in a Heart Demon illusion. The Void Realm instantly transformed into a labyrinth, reality and illusion intertwined and indistinguishable.

As the three ultimate moves were unleashed, the other ninety-seven Ghost Emperor also displayed their Divine Abilities—space tearing, Karma reversal, Divine Soul annihilation... The destructive torrent was enough to obliterate a Divine Realm!

The next instant—

Lu Chen, holding the dragon fiend spear, his figure suddenly dematerialized—no longer a Physical Body of flesh and blood, but a high-dimensional energy state existence.

He actively flew into the giant maw of the Throat of the Void · Ersha, which was capable of devouring galaxies. Man and spear merged into one, transforming into a Law arrow that pierced through dimensions.

Lu Chen did not unleash world-destroying explosions but condensed all his Divine Thought to a single point—to shatter the lowest-level energy particle within the opponent's body.

Crack.

A soft sound, almost inaudible, yet like the first crack in the nascent Universe.

In an instant, Ersha's massive body, like a towering pagoda whose Foundation had been removed, began to disintegrate from within: bones turned to dust, scales became smoke, Divine Soul poured out like sand from an hourglass... In just one breath, this Ghost Emperor at the Peak of the Divine Being Realm, who had once devoured three thousand stars, utterly collapsed, leaving no ashes behind.

Lu Chen floated in the Void Realm, a slight smile playing on his lips: "A bit interesting... So interesting!!"

This was completely different from his previous fighting style.

Before, he pursued range, power, and destructiveness—one sword to slay ten thousand enemies, one fire to burn the Nine Heavens.

But now, as a True God, he seemed to have glimpsed the ultimate secret of the Universe: true power lies not in how great the power is, but in how precisely one can control how small it is.

The essence of combat had ascended from "whose fist is heavier" to "who can decompose energy to a more fundamental structure."

Then, Lu Chen quickly swept through the battlefield.

In an instant, all one hundred Ghost Emperor disintegrated!!

Ghost Emperor: ???

The Ghost Emperor looked innocent before dying, thinking it was just a test, but why were they all killed?

Lu Chen chuckled: "Sorry, I didn't realize the power was so great!"
