7: Chapter 7 Light and Darkness, Good and Evil Angels

The Divinities surrounding the Stairway to Godhood instantly erupted into chaos, each one wearing a look of bewilderment, their minds unable to process what was happening.

The Angel Clan is the Incarnation of light, born in direct opposition to darkness and evil.

Yet now, within the Legacy light of the new Angel God, such a dense Origin of darkness had actually emerged?

But the next second, something even more hair-raising happened.

The aura of that interwoven Divine Power of light and darkness was climbing frantically at a terrifying speed!

The originally stable fluctuations of the First-Rank Deity position, like a rocket, soared all the way up, breaking through the shackles of a First-Rank Deity and shooting straight into the Realm of a half-step God King!

Moreover, that momentum of ascent showed no signs of slowing down, with faint indications that it was about to continue charging toward the God King Realm!

One must know that since the birth of the Divine Realm, the number of Divinities who could touch the threshold of a half-step God King could be counted on one's fingers.

And from inheriting a First-Rank Deity position to stepping into a half-step God King, even for a genius with supreme talent, it would require hundreds of thousands of years of bitter cultivation, and some might even be unable to touch that threshold in their entire lifetime.

Yet for Qian Chongguang, from inheriting the angel god position until now, it had been a mere hundred breaths of time!

The entire Divine Realm was struck into a deathly silence by this terrifying anomaly.

After a long while, the Evil God King gasped, slapped his own forehead, and cried out to the Asura God with a bitter smile: "Damn! Asura, oh Asura, you didn't just find yourself an enemy; you have created a new Big Daddy for our entire Divine Realm!"

The Asura God froze in place, his blood-colored pupils filled with bewilderment. He looked as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and even the raging anger around him halted.

He was stunned, completely stunned.

Having lived for nearly a million years, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to cross the chasm from a First-Rank Deity to a God King.

Even if one were to drain all the Power Of Faith from the entire Douluo planet, or search through every Heaven And Earth Treasure in the Divine Realm, it would be absolutely impossible to step into the half-step God King Realm the very moment one inherited a God Position!

This simply did not conform to the Law of the Divine Realm; it was simply impossible!

How on earth did this kid manage to do it?

I'm so envious.

The shock of the Divinities lasted only for a moment. The next second, the four God Kings exchanged glances and, almost simultaneously, transformed into streaks of light, speeding toward the direction of the Angel God Temple.

The dozens of First-Rank Deity followers behind them also reacted instantly and hurriedly followed—the anomaly of a half-step God King Realm was enough to shake the structure of the entire Divine Realm, and they had to see for themselves what was going on.

But when they broke through the sea of clouds and landed on the plaza in front of the Angel God Temple, the scene before them made their already overloaded brains go completely numb.

In the center of the white jade plaza in front of the temple gate, Qian Chongguang was standing in mid-air.

He was dressed in a divine robe interwoven with gilded gold and ink black, with twelve wings spread out behind him—six wings were of a pure gilded gold color, engraved with the Holy Light patterns of the Angel Clan, which should have been the Incarnation of light and justice; yet, every golden feather was covered in dense, fine black demonic patterns, exuding bone-corroding darkness and evil. The other six wings were a rich ink black, entwined with the dark patterns of annihilation, which should have been the representation of evil and coldness; yet, every black feather flowed with glistening Holy Light, carrying warm light and justice.

Light and darkness, sanctity and evil, were perfectly integrated into one in him, without the slightest sense of dissonance; instead, they formed a terrifying pressure that made even the God Kings feel palpitations.

The Divinities were completely dumbfounded.

Since the birth of the Divine Realm, light and darkness have been absolutely opposing Laws, like water and fire that cannot coexist. Never has any Divinity been able to simultaneously control these two diametrically opposite Origin powers, let alone fuse them to this extent, and even use this to break through the shackles of a First-Rank Deity and step into the half-step God King Realm!

This was no longer just breaking the rules; this was turning the underlying Laws of the Divine Realm completely upside down!

Watching the expressions of the Divinities, who were all bewildered as if they had seen a ghost, Qian Chongguang suddenly laughed out loud. His voice, half carrying the sanctity of light and half carrying the deepness of darkness, echoed in the plaza for a long time.

"Are you all surprised? Do you think that light and darkness are opposed and that there is no possibility of Fusion?" He raised his hand, and a point of golden light and a point of black radiance lit up at his fingertips simultaneously. The two points of light touched gently and then perfectly blended together. "The principle is actually very simple. During the day, there is light, so people can work, farm, and multiply; this is justice. At night, there is darkness, so people can rest, sleep, and replenish their energy; this is also justice. But if there were only day and never night, or only night and never day, it would be a catastrophic nightmare for all living beings in the World."

He slowly lowered his hand, and the Divine Power of light and darkness around him surged again, with the pressure of a half-step God King sweeping out and covering the sky: "Light and darkness have never been absolute mortal enemies. They are inherently two sides of the World, interdependent and co-existing. Under specific rules, they can naturally form a perfect balance and even transform into each other. And I, right now, am this rule itself."

The moment his words fell, the fluctuations of Divine Power around him finally reached their peak.

That momentum of ascent slowly stopped and finally settled steadily at the half-step God King Realm, only one step away from a true God King.

For Qian Chongguang, this power was more than enough to use.

From the very beginning, he had never intended to rely on this power to live and step into the God King Realm.

This Origin of darkness was, in essence, a forbidden power he had forcibly reversed and converted by using the Origin of light of the Angel God as a guide, burning away his own centuries of Soul cultivation.

The stronger this power was, the faster his Life would fade away.

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze passing over the crowd of Divinities and finally locking tightly onto the Asura God at the very front of the crowd, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Asura God King, the show just now is over. Now, we can properly settle our accounts."

He took a step forward, his twelve wings of interwoven light and darkness flapping gently, and the Battle Intent around him erupted like a volcano, every word spoken clearly and resonantly.

"This battle will decide not only the victor but also who lives and who dies."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire plaza instantly erupted into chaos!

The expressions of the Divinities changed drastically, and they all retreated half a step, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.

He's crazy! He's completely gone mad!

A half-step God King, wanting to initiate a Life-and-death duel against the Asura God King, who is recognized as the Divine Realm's number one combatant and wielder of the Law of slaughter?!

Not to mention who would win or lose, just the all-out slaughter between these two top-tier experts would be enough to flip half the Divine Realm upside down!

The temples surrounding the Angel God Temple, and even the spatial barriers of the Divine Realm, would be battered into pieces!

"No! Absolutely not!"

The Goddess of Life hurriedly stepped forward, surrounded by a rich green light of Life, and blocked the space between the two. Her gentle voice carried urgent dissuasion, "Asura, Angel, please both calm down! Whatever conflict you have, we can go back to the God Realm Committee and sit down to discuss it slowly. Why must you fight to the death? If you really fight, the Foundation of the Divine Realm will be damaged, and countless living beings will suffer. This is definitely not what we want to see!"
