Chapter 207: The Ruined Pavilion

“Hm?”
The God of the Ocean was still studying his three divine artifacts when he suddenly saw Chen Xiao appear, startling him. He quickly stepped back.
“Who are you?”
The God of the Ocean narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly. In the next moment, a black shadow blade appeared in his hand.
“A Divine Artifact of the Primordial Spirit? A Primordial Spirit God?”
Chen Xiao still didn’t fully understand the hierarchy among gods, but from what he had overheard the God of the Ocean mutter, it seemed that the lowest rank of god was a True God, with a Primordial Spirit God above that.
He raised his hand, and the form of Snowflakes Drifting appeared in his palm. Snowflakes Drifting remained the same, but now, empowered by the icy blue flame, it was even more formidable than before.
Crystalline snowflakes kept falling around him.
“Snowflakes Drifting… Are you the Snow God?”
The God of the Ocean was momentarily stunned. “No, no. The Snow God is dead. He’s completely dead and will never rise again. You must have obtained his divine artifact…”
“The Snow God?”
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. “I am the Supreme God.”
“The Supreme God?”
Hearing this, the God of the Ocean burst into laughter without hesitation.
“The Supreme God, the Supreme God… Hahaha… If you’re the Supreme God, then what am I? Just a ninth-tier mortal, not even a cultivator, yet you dare call yourself the Supreme God?”
The God of the Ocean laughed hysterically, clutching his stomach. At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into madness.
“Stop!”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. With a wave of his hand, the power within the Supreme God’s space moved along with his palm, suppressing the God of the Ocean’s body.
“This madman.”
Chen Xiao grabbed the God of the Ocean’s body and lifted it up.
“Submit to me, or die!”
“You…” The God of the Ocean struggled desperately. Just moments ago, he had used similar tactics to capture that black Void God, but he never expected to suffer the same fate now.
Although he still didn’t believe Chen Xiao was the Supreme God, he understood that this young man, who only displayed eighth-tier power, was undoubtedly far too powerful for him to challenge at the moment.
“If I regain my former strength, how could I allow you to desecrate my divine body?”
the God of the Ocean said through gritted teeth.
“Regain your former strength?” Chen Xiao smiled. “I’ll make you regain it!”
With a casual gesture, the three divine artifacts on the God of the Ocean’s body flew out abruptly. Chen Xiao raised his hand, and the icy blue flame within him burst forth, instantly enveloping the three artifacts.
Here, the power of the icy blue flame was amplified infinitely, and the three artifacts were almost effortlessly transformed into pure divine energy.
With another wave of his hand, all this divine energy was returned to the God of the Ocean’s body, even replenishing the divine essence that had been lost. Silently, a trace of icy blue flame seeped into the God of the Ocean’s divine essence.

“This power? I’ve actually recovered?”
The God of the Ocean stood dumbfounded in the void, filled with disbelief.
“I said it before—I am the Supreme God. I can grant you power, and of course, I can also easily destroy it.”
Chen Xiao gently clenched his right hand, and the laws of power in the Supreme God’s space condensed once again, instantly trapping the God of the Ocean’s body.
“You… you really are the Supreme God?” The God of the Ocean’s face showed utter shock.
Chen Xiao didn’t answer. Suddenly, two beams of light shot from his eyes, followed by an overwhelming divine aura that surged forth and pressed down on the God of the Ocean’s body.
Pfft!
A stream of pale blue blood sprayed from the God of the Ocean’s mouth.
……
“Is this… the divine aura of the young master?” On the other side of the Supreme God’s space, several divine disciples gathered together, staring in astonishment at Chen Xiao’s direction.
“It doesn’t seem to be the Supreme God’s aura,” Meng Fei blinked. “Back then, when facing Lord Kanras, I didn’t feel such pressure…”
“That’s right. It’s even more terrifying than Lord Kanras’ aura…” Mu Mu nodded as well.
“More terrifying than the Supreme God’s aura? Isn’t the Supreme God already the greatest being in the universe?” At this moment, the Shadow revealed itself—a pale-faced youth.
“Stop talking. Chen Xiao’s growth has already exceeded my expectations. By following him, I believe your achievements will be even greater.”
Suddenly, Shui Miao appeared and spoke to the divine disciples.
“Lord Shui Miao, could there be someone even more powerful than the Supreme God in the universe?” Sou Hen asked, frowning.
“Who created the Supreme God? And who created me? Can Lord Kanras create me?”
Shui Miao sneered as his body slowly disappeared, leaving the divine disciples looking at each other in confusion.
……
“I submit! I submit!”
The God of the Ocean’s face was deathly pale. If Chen Xiao’s divine aura had been amplified just a little more, it would have been enough to crush him alive.
“Submission is enough,” Chen Xiao nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, “From now on, your name will be Shang Xie.”
“However, since you’ve said you submit, it’s best not to harbor any other thoughts. I’ve planted a seed in your divine essence. If you dare to be disloyal, even if you’re in another dimension, I can take your life in an instant.”
Chen Xiao said coldly. The icy blue flame within Shang Xie’s divine essence was planted by him at his strongest, under constant control of Chen Xiao’s will. If Shang Xie dared to betray him, that icy blue flame would instantly burn away his soul in the divine essence.
Shang Xie couldn’t help but shudder, his eyes growing even more respectful.
While speaking, Chen Xiao also checked his own divine essence. Indeed, there was a terrifying flame within—it was so fierce that even his soul dared not approach it; any attempt to do so would result in freezing.
“Alright, now go to the Land of Origins. Outside that land, there’s a peak Void God named Cassius. Go help him and use all your strength to expand my influence on that land. Go.”

Chen Xiao nodded and immediately opened the spatial passage from the Main God Space to the Land of Origin. A passage leading there had already been left behind when Kaxius arrived, serving as a backdoor. Chen Xiao could allow his divine disciples to arrive on the Land of Origin through that passage at any time, and he could also obtain information from that land.
