Chapter 284: Spatial-Time Sealing
An envoy of the Divine King, or perhaps a descendant of the Divine King!
Only those with the bloodline of the Divine King can wield the True Spirit Divine Artefacts.
On the Continent of Origins or in other corners of the universe, the Divine King is the ruler of all gods.
As for the Supreme God, the gods have not seen him for countless years. Currently, the most powerful being governing the universe is the Divine King.
The moment these three saw Chen Xiao, they immediately assumed he was an envoy of the Divine King, possessing his bloodline—otherwise, he would not have been able to use the Divine King’s artifact, the True Spirit Divine Artefact.
Even ordinary gods, even if they possessed such artifacts, could not use them.
In that instant, they felt an urge to become friends with Chen Xiao.
Seeing these four arrive, Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Though they were True Gods, they lacked the arrogant aura of those who look down on all others.
Moreover, Chen Xiao noticed that all four wore identical clothing, suggesting they belonged to the same organization.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xiao drew back the dark giant ship into his body. Instantly, his body was filled with dark energy, making him appear extremely cold.
Under the influence of the void-like trajectory of the Origin Spirit Flame, Chen Xiao’s mental energy became incredibly strong, allowing him to sense what they had said earlier.
Since they claimed to be envoys of the Divine King, he decided to play along and see who these people really were.
“Who are you?”
Before they could speak, Chen Xiao asked first. By now, the fluctuations in his cultivation level had been completely concealed by the power of his Supreme God identity. As for the Origin Spirit Flame, it was hidden deep within his body, not showing the slightest trace.
Seeing that they could not discern Chen Xiao’s cultivation level, the four became even more convinced of their initial thought: this must be some Divine King who, seeing the rampant insects here—things they couldn’t handle—had sent envoys to deal with this army of insects.
“Reporting to our lord, we are members of Team 3 of the Silver Moon System Enforcement Team. My name is Xuan Yu, and these three are Fa Ai Er, Yu Qi, and Liu Xin,” introduced the silver-haired man with a somewhat anxious expression. An envoy of the Divine King must at least possess the cultivation level of a Primordial Spirit God—just one finger could crush them.
But compared to True Gods, Primordial Spirit Gods seemed more approachable.
“Silver Moon System Enforcement Team?” Chen Xiao’s mind stirred. It seemed they had long left the galaxy where Earth was located and arrived in this so-called Silver Moon System.
But what exactly was this Enforcement Team? Chen Xiao had never heard of it before. Was it supposed to maintain cosmic order? Even Chen Xiao found that idea ridiculous.
Wait… an enforcement team? If they appeared in a place infested with insects, could they be responsible for eliminating them?
In an instant, Chen Xiao thought of such a possibility.
“Mm,” Chen Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing Xuan Yu’s words, remaining calm on the surface.
After decades traveling through the universe, they finally arrived on Earth unharmed, proving that they hadn’t encountered those insects during that time. Moreover, they hadn’t mentioned anything about those insects or even the enforcement teams. This was sufficient proof that these creatures had only appeared recently.
“Where on earth did these insects come from?” Chen Xiao asked after analyzing various possibilities in his mind.
“Well…” Xuan Yu and the other three exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
“Lord, these insects must have escaped from the spatial seal in the Shattered Galaxy… Um, there were only a few before, but for some reason, there are more and more recently.”
Finally, Xuan Yu took a deep breath and spoke up.
By now, every corner of the universe knew about the existence of these insects, and enforcement teams were being formed everywhere to eliminate them. Even the guardians on Earth were involved. That’s why Ouyang had said before Chen Xiao left that this time was tens of thousands of times more dangerous than before. Even ordinary Void Gods, or even peak Void Gods just half a step away from becoming Void Gods, would be utterly doomed upon encountering these insect armies and instantly drowned and devoured.
However, this news had been kept secret by the guardians on Earth, and their descendants weren’t informed. In their eyes, this was also a test.
…
“The spatial seal in the Shattered Galaxy…” Chen Xiao lowered his head, pondered for a while, then nodded.
“Who’s behind you?” Chen Xiao asked after further reflection. Since these enforcement teams could be assembled, there must be a powerful force behind them. But the universe was too complex now. Previously, it was ruled by the Divine Realm, but after the Divine Realm disappeared ages ago, the Land of Origins became the new dominant force. Yet now, although the Land of Origins was still the dwelling place of the gods, it had lost its dominant position in the universe. The various powers in the universe were in complete chaos.
Hearing Chen Xiao’s question, Xuan Yu didn’t know how to answer. If he had been ordered by the Divine King to eliminate the insects, he should know who was behind them. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: perhaps this person before him was indeed a descendant of the Divine King, with his bloodline, but he was just passing by and casually clearing out these insects. After all, these insects had only appeared in recent years, and even ordinary cultivators might enter seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years. It seemed quite normal that they weren’t aware of their existence.
“Lord, ten universe years ago, these insects suddenly broke through the seal of the Shattered Galaxy and rushed into the universe, causing harm everywhere. So, the seven great Divine Kings in the universe united to form enforcement teams to eliminate them. And where I am is within the realm ruled by Divine King Li Chen,” Xuan Yu replied.
“Divine King Li Chen… Did the Land of Origins also participate?” Hearing his tone, Chen Xiao only mentioned the seven great Divine Kings in the universe without mentioning the Land of Origins at all, which surprised him slightly.
“The Land of Origin…” Xuan Yu sighed. “The Land of Origin is now the most powerful world in the universe; even the legendary Supreme God exists there. But if the Land of Origin were to intervene, these insects wouldn’t dare act recklessly. Its world barrier is extremely terrifying, keeping those insects at bay—there’s no need to worry about them posing a threat there.”
“I see…”
Chen Xiao nodded. It seemed that the Land of Origin didn’t enjoy a high reputation in the universe.
After clarifying some things, Chen Xiao didn’t want to have much more contact with these people from the disreputable enforcement team. After all, he came from Earth and was a highly special being.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Chen Xiao tore open space and left. Only those four True Gods were left, looking at each other in confusion.
“This person’s temper is really strange,” Yu Qi said in a daze.
“Most powerful deities are like this,” the other three nodded.
…
“The Shattered Galaxy… Should I go take a look?”
Chen Xiao’s body appeared in a quiet region of space. He lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Previously, Lian Shang and the others had given Chen Xiao the star map of this universe. If he wanted to go to the Shattered Galaxy, it would take only a little time to reach there.
“I carry the Primordial Spirit Fire. If I go to the Land of Origin, it’s inevitable that I’ll reveal myself, which could cause trouble. It’s better to accumulate more strength during this process.”
In an instant, Chen Xiao made up his mind. The next moment, he turned and began to move in another direction—toward the so-called Shattered Galaxy.
…
“Does this galaxy even have stars?”
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiao arrived at the edge of the Shattered Galaxy and stared in disbelief at the scene before him. The starry sky was filled with coldness and desolation; there were no light sources, just utter darkness.
Broken planets floated everywhere. Not to mention stars, not even a single intact planet existed—no wonder it was called the Shattered Galaxy.
“Never mind. Let’s find that seal first and catch a few insects.”
Chen Xiao’s body flashed as he entered the galaxy. The Shattered Galaxy was about the same size as the Milky Way where Chen Xiao lived. Finding a small seal here was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, if it weren’t for the Ice Phoenix having forcibly raised his strength to the ninth level of the Domain Realm—Nine Nine Returns to One—he probably wouldn’t have had so much time to waste.
Now, Chen Xiao could move through the starry sky in the blink of an eye.
Without hesitation, he headed straight for the core of the Shattered Galaxy. Theoretically, such seals were usually located deep within some space.
“Hm? Is someone there?”
Chen Xiao’s figure flashed, his entire body surrounded by a trail of void, disappearing instantly into the emptiness.
He couldn’t use the Primordial Spirit Fire, but the trail it created wasn’t a problem.
Before him, groups of hundreds of True Gods were constantly moving around in an area, as if on patrol.
“What an impressive force—actually a patrol team composed of true gods…”
Chen Xiao gasped at the sight, even though there was no gas in outer space. The appearance of this patrol team proved that they were not far from the so-called spacetime seal, and these true gods must be the ones guarding it.
“The outer patrol teams are all true gods—how powerful could those inside be?”
“Xixi, we’re already outside the Land of Godly Collapse. If you keep pretending to be dead, I’ll throw you right into it right away.”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s mind reached the Main God’s space and shouted at the cocoon in which Xixi was transformed.
“Oh my god, the Main God’s mind?!”
Xixi suddenly screamed and broke free from the cocoon.
