618: Chapter 621 Eternal Divine Realm

Perhaps some ancient, unknown entity extended a helping hand.

If that were the case, he would certainly visit to express his gratitude someday.

Or perhaps, this was all purely due to sheer luck.

Then he could only submit to fate and respect the heavens.

He slowly closed his eyes.

A throbbing pain still echoed in his mind.

Just now, within that girl's Blood Domain, he had been in extreme peril.

Even though he maintained a composed facade, he had actually been on the brink of collapse.

Finally,

Lu Chen felt as if he had arrived at a certain place.

He snapped his eyes open.

But before he could sort out his thoughts,

A voice boomed within his mind.

[Ding, welcome to the Protagonist's World... Eternal Divine Domain.]

[Reality Announcement: The Supreme Protagonist has taken position. From this moment, the Absolute Era officially commences.]

[Wishing everyone good luck in vying for the position of Destiny Supreme.]

One notification after another,

flooded his mind.

This voice,

sounded like some kind of world System broadcast.

Given Lu Chen's familiarity with Systems,

he instantly understood his current predicament.

In addition,

detailed information about this new world

also appeared before his eyes.

The Eternal Divine Domain

was a primordial world.

But it was entirely different from other primordial worlds.

This world experienced the Reincarnation of 'Eras'...

Whenever a new Era began,

it would gather billions of protagonists,

or rather, the chosen ones burdened with immeasurable destiny.

Each Era

would commence with the assembly of one hundred million Supreme Protagonists.

This world also had natives.

Their strength was equally peerless.

However, only when all one hundred million protagonists were gathered would the Era officially begin.

And to obtain the title of 'Protagonist,'

one had to be an unconventional variable.

Only then would the curtain rise on the Era.

These protagonists would conquer each other,

fight the natives,

complete various missions,

and based on their mission completion rate, wield corresponding Authority.

These Authorities would coalesce into a Throne behind them.

The first person to condense their Throne to Perfection

would ascend to the position of Destiny Supreme.

Protagonists could seize Authority through various means.

But no matter what they did,

they had to achieve absolute first place.

Once an achievement reached the Peak of the Divine Domain,

they could grasp the corresponding Authority from the Eternal Divine Domain.

And these protagonists

were all powerful beings from at least the 80th to the 99th Dimension.

In this contest,

no one could achieve the Ancestor Realm.

Of course,

they could choose to voluntarily withdraw from the competition.

At that point, they could break through their Realm without restriction.

However, none who coveted the Supreme position would choose to withdraw.

Not only the external protagonists, but also the natives within the Divine Domain who met the criteria

joined this struggle for the Supreme Throne.

And the one who ultimately ascended to the position of Destiny Supreme

could make one wish.

No matter how absurd or unrestrained that wish might be, it could be realized.

Lu Chen browsed this information expressionlessly.

"What kind of nonsense is this? I just completed the last fragment of the dimensional origin, and this broken world immediately shackles me again?"

"With my System, I don't need any external assistance."

Although he complained verbally,

the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward slightly.

An uncontrollable excitement surged in his heart.

This place was clearly a world tailored for him.

He knew exactly what wish he was going to make.

Lu Chen was determined to win it.

After all, among these one hundred million protagonists, who could possibly be his match?

But his instinct was issuing a warning...

This contest would absolutely not be easy.

"One hundred million variables..."

Lu Chen murmured.

"If everyone is a protagonist, then it means no one is a protagonist. Unless..."

He opened his status panel.

He saw that the progress of the dimensional origin was fixed at 99.1%.

The Eternal Divine Domain had set a shackle on his path to transcendence.

To obtain that final 0.9%,

he had to participate in this contest across dimensions.

In the Void Realm where time itself was frozen,

a woman known as the Undying Heavenly Phoenix

stood proudly atop a mountain Peak.

She never relied on any System.

She was a conceptual miracle in herself.

"The last person has finally arrived."

she whispered.

The Authority she controlled was named [The Unwritten Book].

It allowed her to perceive the destiny trajectory of any observed target.

In her eyes,

the structure of the world was not composed of atoms, but of successive plot nodes.

With a casual wave of her hand,

a sea of quicksilver froze into an ice bridge.

Her movement was never bound by the Laws of Physics.

The only reason she appeared here was because the plot required her to go elsewhere.

She was originally a variable,

having personally slain the 'Scribe' of her Void Realm to gain her freedom.

Billions of light-years away,

deep within a nebula exuding the aura of Reincarnation,

a mechanical life form named Zero Prototype

was recalibrating its logic core.

Zero Prototype controlled the [Logic Plague].

It never fought with swords or Spells, but directly altered the physical Laws of local space,

causing opponents to collapse entirely on a logical level, turning into an unsolvable mathematical fallacy.

"Probability of ascending to the Supreme position: 0.0000083%."

The mechanical electronic voice buzzed.

"Eliminating hostile variables and increasing winning probability is the only logically sound choice."

There was also a Void Walker named Xue Wudi, a powerhouse from the 95th Dimension.

To prevent his own timeline from annihilating, he devoured an entire timeline.

The Authority he controlled, [Innate Void Ash Bloodline],

could strip away the very meaning of existence from anything it touched...

He punched a mountain Peak.

The mountain Peak would not collapse, it would merely 'forget' its existence as a mountain.

Eventually turning into nothingness.

These were the opponents Lu Chen was about to face...

A group of existences terrifying as monsters.

Lu Chen stepped forward.

The grass beneath his feet was as hard as tempered glass, emitting a crisp crunching sound.

He first needed to figure out exactly how to wield the 'Authority' mentioned by the System.

[System Prompt: Details for Wielding Authority]

[To wield Authority, contestants must reach the absolute Peak state in a certain field within the Eternal Divine Domain.]

[When a contestant performs an act significant enough to permanently alter the structure of the Divine Domain, or break existing world records, a Node Event will be triggered.]

Lu Chen paused his steps.

"The so-called absolute first..."

he murmured.

"If I forge a sword, it cannot just be a good sword; it must be the strongest sword in this world teeming with gods."

He finally grasped the essence of this contest.

This was not merely a competition of strength.

It was a contest of specialized Domains.

If someone mastered Bloodline,

then their Bloodline

must be the most Supreme existence in the multi-dimensional Void to trigger a Node Event;

if someone built a city,

then that city must be the most efficient miracle of civilization in history.
