Chapter 1287: Time for Farewell

Chaos ebbed and flowed. Particles of light transformed into being after being, and the mountain of spiritual fragments nurtured a vast population of spirits after countless years.

The being who had created the dimensional world, sensing the disturbance, glanced at Zhang Lie from across time and space.

Zhang Lie felt his mind being assailed in a fashion he had never experienced to date, as though his brain were about to burst. He immediately withdrew from his ascended state of mind and returned to the present.

The moment in which heaven and earth had been constructed remained in his mind, shocking his body and soul. If he closed his eyes, he would naturally return to that vision of the creation of the universe, an indelible sight that had become ingrained in his memory.

As he thought of that miraculous creation, dawn light shone all around him. His heart and soul seemed to unite with the world all around him, as though he were part of creation itself.

Zhu and the Yeluo chieftain watched on with bated breath. Even the will of the realm had noticed something amiss; the dragon scale\'s projection was hovering in the air.

"Open!" Zhang Lie murmured softly, but the sound of his voice carried.

Divine power emanated from him in a rainbow glow, and ripples surged endlessly forth. The world seemed to be on the verge of splitting open from within, transforming everything in sight into chaotic energy.

Zhang Lie was about to revert the world back into chaos, then remake the world anew!

However, Zhang Lie himself quickly realized that something was wrong. He stopped what he was doing at once, then undid his actions. The susurration of energy around him transformed into dawn light that lit him up from behind, making him seem like a deity in his own right. His corporeal body, silent and motionless, nevertheless began to glow.

His spirit left his body and communed with heaven and earth, yet it formed an unbreakable resonance with his physical body.

Zhu watched open-mouthed, while the Yeluo chieftain only appreciated the special effects that were occurring. As the ruler of the realm, Zhu could see just how frightening Zhang Lie was in that one moment.

With his mind, he had commanded the world to split, to regrow, to revert to chaos, to be nurtured; the world listened. He had done something that even she, the ruler of the realm, was unable to accomplish.

This was the realm of the divine!

Nevertheless, considering that the man in front of her was Zhang Lie, Zhu\'s doubts and shock were instantly quelled.

Zhang Lie had always been like the sky to her, like a firmament. Even if Zhang Lie were able to reverse time and space, to revive the dead, Zhu wouldn\'t find it all too unusual.

Amidst the dawn light, countless stars fell, and new pinpricks of light appeared, as though lifeform after lifeform had been created.

As the pinpricks of light fell onto the ground, they scampered all over. Zhu picked up one dot of scintillating light.

The dot harbored tremendous vitality. It looked all around in panic as Zhu grabbed it, causing her immense shock. Each of these dots of light was an independent existence, with its own emotions and spirit.

Zhang Lie had just created a whole new race, the key signifier of gods and deities.

Zhang Lie shut both his eyes tightly, carefully and comprehensively sensing the changes to his body. In every drop of blood, every bone, there seemed to live a holy spirit.

His body had grown countless times stronger than before.

Potion #5 would not ordinarily have such a miraculous effect. It was only thanks to Zhu\'s inclusion of the unified world\'s energy that had allowed such a boon.

After filling all his gene fragments, Zhang Lie felt an overwhelming strength suffuse his body.

"[Energy has exceeded maximum threshold. Activating third-realm transferral routine.]

A familiar voice rang out in his mind.

"[Energy has exceeded maximum threshold. Activating third-realm...]

[Energy has...]

The will of the realm\'s announcement rang out urgently. The next moment, multicolored light wrapped around Zhang Lie like a cocoon.

The energy of the refinement process swept over his body, causing him to feel a sense of unbelievable comfort. Even so, he quickly broke out of his stupor.

"I don\'t intend to ascend yet."

With a punch, he broke out of the cocoon. The energy of a tsunami wafted from him.

The will of the realm manifested as a multicolored dragon scale. Zhu hurriedly stepped forward. "Will, Zhang Lie doesn\'t intend to ascend yet. Can he temporarily remain in the realm?"

The dragon scale "peered" at Zhang Lie, then gave Zhang Lie an answer via Zhu.

Zhu said, "Zhang Lie, the will of the world is willing to give you one more chance on account of the fact that you took part in restoring it, and it\'ll allow you to stay in the third realm for another month. However, after that, no matter what, you\'ll have to leave."

"Thank you," Zhang Lie replied, as the scale slowly dissolved into the ether.

The will of the realm knew how strong Zhang Lie was; it couldn\'t push Zhang Lie into the fourth realm even with force alone. It didn\'t dare to provoke such an existence.

Zhu smiled. "It looks as though you\'ve grown much stronger, Zhang Lie."

Zhang Lie clenched a fist. "More or less. I\'m not sure just how I am now, myself, but I\'m certain I would be able to beat the old me in just a second. In addition, I\'ve also gained entirely new insight on the third form of Ninesoul Dragonblade, Separating Earth and Sky."

Zhu asked, "What are your future plans, Zhang Lie?"

"I\'ll say goodbye to everyone first."

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Lie understood why the dragon scale had only permitted him to remain in the third realm for another month.

"So that\'s how it is."

Zhang Lie was far too strong for the framework of the third realm to support, and simple actions on his part were sufficient to cause tremendous damage. If he were to stay, the long-term repercussions would be no better than the crisis caused by the dimensional rift that had opened up.
