Chapter 413 King of the Mortal World! A Plan for Eternity! The Creator of the Sun
In short, the birth of a new sun god will cause the Supreme Sun to fall ill again, plunging the main world into an apocalyptic state.
In this way, the sacrifices of countless people in the Tianzhou civilization would be in vain.
So before the ancients went completely mad, they devised a method...
That is to select a suitable and outstanding successor through the Myriad Races Tournament to take control of the Tianzhou Civilization.
Because the Beast Shell evolves based on the user's potential and strength, the more complete the evolution,
Therefore, one must be a genius with sufficient strength to devour more of the solar core essence from the solar evil god embryo, turn it into ashes, and seal the evil god embryo!
The nine strongest among them can inherit the shells of Dark Sun Beasts, which are formed from the spiritual essence of the heart of the Sun Relic contained within the Dark Sun Watcher.
A large number of trial participants devoured the embryo's essence, gaining power while weakening it. Then, by absorbing the sun's power, they forcibly divided its authority.
The authority of the gods is the manifestation of the concept of rules and paths, and is a product that is higher than the law. For example, the authority of the Corpse-Hidden Emperor is divided into three parts: the night, the skeletons that represent the partial death, and the tomb realm where all things are eternally at peace.
Together, they form the Night Village!
To wield power, even if it is only a fragment, will grant one a great deal of divinity.
If humanity can inherit this, it only needs to reach the top level of ecological mastery to derive corresponding laws, become the overlord of the mortal world, and stand above billions of lives.
If one has a bit of talent, or is a beast tamer or alien race with the path of the sun, becoming a high-level true king is not difficult. In addition, with the blessing of an ecological kingdom with the characteristics of a divine kingdom, one is a top-level true king in the mortal world, also known as the god of the human world!
It directly reshapes the world order!
However, this is not without its price... The user's original attributes will be overwritten and replaced with solar attributes. After absorbing the authority, the main world will use its blessings to lock the user in the mortal realm.
Even if one were to kill the other Dark Sun Kings and gather all the power in one's own hands, it would at most increase one's strength, but it would be impossible to ascend to godhood through this.
Unless one relinquishes power, one cannot break through the barriers of the mortal world!
This is because it was a well-laid plan by the wisdom of the ancients. The Tianzhou civilization used power as bait to lure the world consciousness that was pursuing evolution and perfection.
In this way, there is no need to worry about human greed, nor will it be plundered by other gods; the main world is the biggest obstacle!
Because of their immense power and compatibility with the solar ecosystem, the Beasts of the Daytime are needed by the newly born Kings of the Dark Sun to fill their own kingdoms, providing them with a home and thus perpetuating the Daytime civilization.
It was also the selfishness of the ancients!
However, compared to their great achievements, this selfishness is nothing short of saintly virtue.
Although everyone knew that the power of the Sun Ruins could make someone a king, no one expected...
Nine spots are available right from the start!
And that doesn't even include the others who got the opportunity to glimpse the path to becoming king, so if you calculate it that there are multiples.
"I...can become a king?" Luo Qingyue murmured in shock, "Then Grandpa will have to kneel before me every time he sees me! I'll get my revenge for all the beatings I suffered before!"
Luo Zisong: "???"
Unfilial granddaughter!
"Oh, what a pity."
Tong Ye looked disappointed. She had never been able to help Big Toy, but had been enjoying the gifts he gave her.
This opportunity to become king should have been his!
With such outstanding character, he should not be forgotten and distorted in the ruins!
"Wholesale...of thrones!?"
Red Lotus was also shocked. As the eldest daughter of the True King, she occupied a layer of the Abyss Plane and possessed a large amount of resources. Although she looked down on most things in the mortal world, if she said she looked down on the position of the True King, she would definitely be slapped in the face by her mother!
What a thick skin it takes to say that!
Akatsuki Meng remained calm and unconcerned, staring blankly at the figure on the throne, her red crystal eyes rippling with emotion.
The smell seems to be getting stronger... I want to go over and rub against it!
However, my sister said they are related as ancestors and descendants, but are they really that similar?
Yu Xiyan smiled and didn't care about it, after all, she had already obtained a spot in a certain timeline.
But now... she has become deformed!
But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!
The highest sun is not as simple as it seems. Sometimes, aging is a kind of right thing to do!
"I can become king too???"
Qi Wei was taken aback at first, but after turning around and seeing his cousin's calm attitude, he quickly calmed down, and the excitement in his heart vanished.
This woman deems anything bad, even if it means becoming a god on the spot... you can't touch it!
This is a lesson he learned through countless trials and tribulations!
"hey-hey!"
As for the Dark Witch, she has already begun to consider how many handsome men she should take as her concubines after becoming queen, so that one person can reproduce the population of more than half of her race.
However, that would mean having to hold up the skirt every day without putting it down.
It's a pity... Lu Yu died too young. I wonder if the mutants had reproductive isolation...
"To share in the authority of the gods!"
Cui Han and Chen Wei looked at each other in shock. They never expected that just protecting Lu Yu would result in them winning for the rest of their lives.
"hateful!"
Many people trembled with envy, their eyes burning with jealousy, wishing they could take his place.
Unexpectedly, including the Dark Witch, they bought a spot to become king for a mere tens of millions.
As for becoming a Beast of the Day, before becoming a king, it was a mutation; after becoming a king, it simply preferred a wilder style.
After all, the returns are immeasurable!
If given another chance, they would kneel down and apologize without hesitation, even if their whole family were killed, let alone bowing their heads to the blond-haired man or being tricked.
Clenching your fist is the way to hold power!
"No, we absolutely cannot allow the human race to suddenly have eight more True Kings!"
The gazes of giants like Chi Zhong, Cang Yun, and Qing Yuan, as well as princes, gradually turned dangerous. Even if it meant mutual destruction, they couldn't stand by and watch others receive a favor.
The Dark Witch shuddered, realizing that she seemed unlikely to escape the ruins.
On the human side, many people were almost consumed by greed, after all, not everyone is a saint.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense; if this continued, a major war might break out prematurely!
Cui Han and Chen Wei looked even more serious, sensing the gravity of the situation.
However, Ai Lu's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the smoke of battle: "But that was before. Now the evil god embryo has resonated with the rules and has almost replenished the source that the beasts of the day have devoured. Activating the [Daytime Sun-Eating Ritual] now will only devour the distorted parts and will not be able to divide the authority at all."
"pity……"
Luo Qingyue felt a little regretful, but even if she could become king, she would eventually give it up and let Luo Zisong have it.
It's not that I hope my grandfather will become a dragon, but once the historical abilities are covered up, then Lu Yu's last traces... will disappear.
"I want the world to sing my praises!" Luo Qingyue murmured, before being attacked by Old Deng with his belt.
After all, with the resurgence of the evil god embryo, the beast shells on their bodies are no longer cages, and they can now move freely.
"Old Deng, if you hit me again, when I become king, I will appoint you as the Grand Eunuch to accompany me, and then I will bestow upon you three thousand beauties into my harem!" Luo Qingyue covered her head and ran away, not forgetting to threaten him, which caused her to be hit even harder.
Seeing this comical scene, everyone lost interest.
What's so great about ripping off a distorted image?
However, Chi Zhong suddenly spoke up: "The Mother of Twilight is after the embryo of the evil god, so what is the Hidden Corpse Emperor after?"
"It's unclear. All we know is that He moved to the Holy City, which conveniently blocked the remnants of the sun, and even buried this part of history. We just don't know if the large number of people who died during the day were guided to the Night Village of the Underworld."
However, if He hadn't entered the mortal realm and remained only in the underworld, He would never have been able to be schemed against and perish by the Mother of Twilight. Yet He still came and protected the border from being shattered. Although we don't know what His plans were, it's certain that He is a great being who is relatively benevolent towards life.
Ai Lu sighed, then exclaimed in amazement:
"Compared to the Hidden Corpse Emperor, the Mother of Twilight is actually countless times more terrifying than you know. The reason she descended to the border was for this evil god embryo, in order to further plunder the power of the sun."
I thought His failure was due to misjudging the Dragon King, who possessed the power of the Crimson of Life, resulting in his body being torn apart, half sealed and half lost. Now it seems that it was very likely intentional.
"Intentional?" Everyone was surprised and began to ponder the implications.
Ai Lu explained, "If He really wanted to be on the safe side, He shouldn't have descended upon the Daughter of Eternal Darkness. She was suppressed by the mortal world and only had the power of a false king left, which led to her being torn apart by the Dragon King who burned his life. If He had descended in his avatar, he could have finished the battle quickly. This is clearly not in line with the opponent's calculation ability."
Therefore, in my opinion, the other side is using the war as an excuse to make some arrangements. After all, the Holy City was designed and buried by Him, so it's impossible that He couldn't find it.
The fact that the half of the body torn apart by the Dragon King fell right near the Holy City shows that the other party was actually waiting for an opportunity, silently watching the every move of the Hidden Corpse Emperor.
Therefore, in summary, the opponent's strategy can be divided into three timelines: the Crimson Dragon Era, the Hidden Corpse Emperor Era, and the Heavenly Day Era, which is the closest to the present.
We only need to follow the timeline, although it is unknown whether the decline of the sun before the Tianzhou civilization was related to it.
However, during the reign of the Hidden Corpse Emperor, it was He who brought about the Great War of the Mechanical World, buried the Holy City, and then, in the Red Dragon Era, He sent down the Daughter of Eternal Darkness, slaughtered the borders, and replaced the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King.
Because the Crimson Dragon controls the rituals of civilization, once it becomes king, the entire border will be forged into an impenetrable fortress. No matter how merciful it may be, it ultimately controls the concept of life, and all living beings on the border will be affected. The subsequent ecological impact may cause the Heavenly Day City and the Hidden Skeleton Emperor Holy City to emerge ahead of schedule, at which time the embryonic form of the evil god will not have been completely devoured.
On the contrary, its death will release the life path of the border. After the destruction, according to the balance of the mother river, prosperity will come. One dragon dies, all things live. Sure enough, the human alliance arrived. After the border was divided, the border began to enter a long period of stability.
However, the Mother of Twilight did not stop her actions. She planted the seed of the Serpent Mother Tree of All Desires in advance. I have already learned about the ritual. The offerings at the time were not enough to summon such a superior being. It was obviously intentional on her part.
They were just waiting for the Battle of Dayuan City to erupt, and then they sent out the Daughter of Eternal Darkness. If it weren't for her disciples interfering, the Hidden Corpse Emperor would probably have not only torn apart half of the power of night, but might have been devoured himself. The subsequent eruption of the Sun Relics might also have been fueled by her.
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They witnessed a great being transcending time, orchestrating events for eternity!
Whether believers or disruptors, they all became pawns in His hands, being pushed around step by step.
Until His purpose is fulfilled!
Some people raised the question: "That's not right either. If the Supreme Sun ages, it might interfere with Him who is on the same path, causing Him to enter a period of weakness. Wouldn't that make Him a potential prey for other great beings?"
The Mother of Twilight could easily pay a price to prematurely sever the evil god's embryo, thus eliminating any possibility of a counterattack!
"That makes a lot of sense, but don't forget the internal mythology of the Mother of Twilight's Order."
Ai Lu answered calmly, speaking in a strangely devout whisper:
"The sun is born from the shadow of the Mother of Twilight. When the sun falls, the Mother of Twilight will use the shadow to forge a coffin to bury it, and then at the boundary between light and darkness, she will devour the sun's core and become a new Mother of Light who gives birth to all things."
Furthermore, in their internal version, the Mother of Twilight represents the creator of everything, a mother figure betrayed by the sun.
Myths are full of metaphors.
The aging of the highest sun may represent the process of its fall.
Moreover, this ritual must be completed before the Mother of Twilight can act; otherwise, she will encounter some misfortune.
So He has been waiting for an opportunity to bring about this outcome.
The three factions fell completely silent.
Originally, the Sunset God, who had little presence after the cult's demise, has suddenly transformed into the greatest enemy of the main world, and may even be watching from the sidelines right now.
If not handled properly, the main world may not necessarily be destroyed, but all life will become sacrifices.
Luo Qingyue pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is the resurgence of the evil god's embryo also part of His plan?"
But how does it affect them?
"Actually, no!"
Ai Lu's answer was unexpected, but Luo Qingyue was not surprised. She recalled the ancient king who was very similar to Lu Yu. When they counterattacked, he did not stop them, but instead smiled happily.
Could it be that the Mother of Twilight's final plan is to have this ancient king?
Seeing Luo Qingyue's reaction, Ai Lu's eyes flashed with admiration. He raised his youthful face, turned to look at the figure on the throne in the distance, bowed slightly, and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, may I ask you why you would willingly thwart the Tianzhou civilization's plan, which had been in the works for hundreds of thousands of years?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience was stunned.
The biggest rebel was actually the ancient king on the throne. Could it be that he turned against him and wanted to die together because his descendants were killed?
Or perhaps the Mother of Twilight has already promised him some conditions?
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The figure on the throne gently tapped the armrest, bringing a terrifying sense of oppression, and asked in a soft voice:
Why did you think of me?
"Because...only you have so many permissions." Ai Lu said with a wry smile. At this point, if he still couldn't figure out that he wasn't late, he would really be a fool.
In fact, Ai Lu and Fan Lu had arrived near the Sun Relics quite early, just to be on the safe side. Although they had access through a back door, the first rule of the relics' spirituality was to find a successor, which was above all else.
Therefore, the Sacred Sun Gate will not open before the end of the Myriad Races Arena Tournament. So they waited until Lu Yu and the others entered before taking another long route into the ruins, deliberately avoiding these powerful figures.
However, unexpectedly, with just a slight difference, Lu Yu had already turned the place upside down. He transformed into a gatekeeper BOSS in the Sun Shadow River, stirring up a riot in the Shadow River, causing Ai Lu to be chased by a bunch of aberrations. If it weren't for his control of the Heavenly Day Inheritance, he almost wouldn't have been able to reach the Gate of Dawn.
Forget about saving the world, he was directly shattered by an unknown area-of-effect attack!
Having finally arrived at the path to sainthood, all the checkpoints had been destroyed, leaving them with no choice but to climb with great difficulty.
The only saving grace is that the mutated Lu Yu has disappeared without a trace.
However, Tianzhou City began to reject his entry one after another, and he had to try every means to gain recognition. These processes wasted a lot of time, and by the time he was able to enter, the solar embryo had already revived.
Too many coincidences, and they're no longer coincidences!
In other words, it was this mysterious "Ancient King" whom Ailu had never met before who didn't want him to come in.
He did not doubt the other party's identity, after all, the ancients did not leave much information in order to prevent the spread of pollution.
The other party is very likely one of the strongest experts stationed in Tianzhou City!
"How could this be..." Luo Qingyue murmured in shock, "That's not right. Logically speaking, the King of Ashes should be bound by the spirit of the ruins to have survived for such a long time. He couldn't possibly have deceived us!"
The reason why everyone trusted them so easily was because the clues from the ruins mentioned the Ash King and took into account the constraints of the ruins' rules.
During this process, the Ash King did not launch an attack; everything was done according to the rules.
Ai Lu's description further corroborates this point.
As the last hope of the Tianzhou civilization, it is impossible for a certain king or ancient being to rise above the ruins.
Human hearts are fickle!
Ai Lu was also completely baffled. He could have told everyone to lure them with the opportunity to become king, but instead he forced them to fight to the death. Why was that?
"Who said I am... the Lord of Ashes?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu, seated on the throne, shook his head, a playful smile on his face.
hum!
Behind the throne, endless radiance converged, nine phantom suns collapsed and overlapped, and hurried footsteps sounded, causing everyone's pupils to shrink to pinpoints.
"How is that possible!?"
Because from behind the throne, countless hounds of light emerged.
The hounds that had previously relentlessly pursued the Heavenly Court were now loyally guarding the ancient king's side.
At that moment, everyone realized...
They were probably not there to stop them from dragging, but rather...
Speed up this process!
This prevents them from having time to think.
Everyone looked at the figure sitting on the throne, as if shrouded in an eternal mist.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before everyone could think about it, a mysterious beast appeared deep within that radiant light. Its body was as huge as a mountain, and a solar furnace burned inside its chest.
Endless tendrils of light emanated from its body, swaying casually and bringing a scorching heat that instantly shattered countless light hounds that couldn't escape in time, turning them into a sky full of radiance.
Then it devoured it.
These ferocious and tyrannical hounds of light that caused them so much trouble turned out to be nothing more than inferior creatures that imitated them poorly!
Even immortality cannot be preserved!
Even the deeply distorted and dazzling Beast of the Daylight appeared utterly dim in its presence.
hum!
Because after it appeared, the brilliance of the Sun God Embryo dimmed for a moment, but it quickly replenished itself by absorbing the spirituality of the ruins, and continued to rise into the sky, attempting to tear apart the ruins and enter the true heavens!
"What is this!?"
Everyone was shocked, and Fanlu even felt a tremor in his bloodline. It seemed that the so-called pure-blooded dragon was nothing more than one of the other party's recipes.
Although she was terrified, she still protected Ai Lu beside her, determined not to let anything happen to him in front of her.
Ai Lu held her hand tightly. Knowing that she had been waiting for a thousand years, he had already decided that he would not let her be alone again.
"roar!"
The sun beast slowly strode out, constantly devouring the sun's radiance and transforming it into countless ashes that swirled around it, showing no sign of losing its sanity.
Instead, it coalesced into a path of ashes for them to walk upon.
Its gaze swept over the crowd, lacking any overwhelming pressure, yet it sent chills down their spines, as if they were being spied on from countless angles.
Once it targets and hunts you, it will be a relentless pursuit.
At that point, death will actually be a relief!
The three factions looked grave, but with the embryo of the evil god behind them, escape was impossible.
The only saving grace was that the terrifying sun beast quickly shifted its gaze away, finally fixing it on the solar embryo, and slowly opened its fangs, which were stained with blood of different colors, concentrated with high levels of psionic energy and contamination.
"This is... the aura of a divine being!" Chen Wei exclaimed in shock.
boom!
The fangs were stained with the aura of different divine beings.
This discovery chilled everyone to the bone!
It's conceivable that the other party had recently devoured divine beings, and more than one at that, but was called back during the meal.
But weren't the ruins sealed off long ago?
So, what is the origin of divine beings...?
Where is it again?
Why call it out?
Lu Yu, seated on his throne, noticed the confusion among the crowd. Glancing out of the corner of his eye at the rising sun in the distance, he suppressed the restlessness of the ranch, stroked the head of the Sun Chaser lying at his feet, and said softly:
"Because the Ash Lord you're looking for is it!"

PS: After writing this 6,000-word chapter, my mind is a bit clearer now. The Sun's Ruins will reach its climax tomorrow. I estimate that after a few chapters, all the plot points will be revealed. This involves not only internal power struggles but also external confrontations. It will be a major victory for Lu Yu in his battle against the higher-dimensional beings. As for the final trump card, it has already been revealed, but I doubt anyone can guess it.
As for the concept of forbidden existence, I've already said it: it must be higher than the great existence, and it doesn't follow logic. All the descriptions are foreshadowing. Keywords: Hidden Corpse Emperor, Mother of Twilight, aging, mythology. If you're interested, look for them; if not, it's fine too. Anyway, I'll list them in the epilogue later.
(End of this chapter)
