"Stone of Creation and Destruction? In our world, this is called the Stone of Life."
"Every noble in the Divine Realm is gifted one such gem at birth."
"This is a reward from the Pillar of Life to our people."
As Silu spoke, she reached to touch the gem on her chest, only to suddenly realize it had vanished!
"Where's the gem? Where's my gem? Without the gem, I'll be stripped of my noble status..."
Silu was on the verge of tears from anxiety.
"I've already absorbed the gem. And you should worry less about your noble status. If you die now, no status will matter."
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
"Death? There is no such thing as death in the Divine Realm. That's just something you mortals fear."
"If you kill me, I will be reborn. But once a noble's status is erased, it is extremely difficult to regain. You mortal, truly!"
Silu said, wanting to get angry, likely accustomed to her overbearing ways.
*Crack!*
The sound of a succubus's whip cracked nearby, startling Silu, and her arrogance instantly deflated.
"Tell me about the Pillar of Life!"
Zhang Chen continued to ask.
"It is the pillar of creation in our world. It nurtures the life of all things."
"The reason we call ourselves the Divine Realm is because we have never seen any life form superior to us. Although your combat power is strong, you cannot be called a god!"
"There have been many instances of foreign invasions throughout history, but we repelled them all. By the way, those foreign races were also created by us."
"To put it simply, the Pillar of Life bestowed life upon our race, and the worlds other than ours were all created by us."
"As for the term 'god', it is actually what all the myriad realms call us."
"My strength is indeed no match for yours, as I am not a warrior by nature. If you were to encounter a warrior of the Divine Race, you would know what true power is!"
As Silu spoke, her old habits resurfaced, and she even began to threaten Zhang Chen.
*Crack!*
Keke, unable to tolerate her bad behavior, lashed Silu fiercely with her whip. A jolt, like electric shock, coursed through her body again.
The last bit of strength Silu had managed to regain instantly drained away. She propped herself up with her hands, panting.
"Speak properly to my master. Here, he is the god."
"If you still cannot recognize reality, we can spend decades, centuries, to help you change."
Keke said sinisterly.
"No... no need... don't torture me anymore... I will cooperate..."
Silu looked at Keke with fear in her eyes.
"Then what is the material of your armor made of, and what abilities does it have?"
Zhang Chen asked again.
"That is also a mineral from the Pillar of Life, which we use to make tools. By mastering certain techniques, we can imbue them with new laws."
Silu answered obediently.
"What do you mean by new laws?"
Zhang Chen asked, confused.
"New laws mean that other items can temporarily possess the characteristics I bestow upon them, operating under the conditions I set, disregarding the original laws of the physical world."
"For example, in the recent battle, I endowed the stones with the law of 'Desperate Combat.' This means that the stones will infinitely regenerate until they destroy you, and their damage will also be doubled."
"However... I never expected that you would be so powerful as to nullify the laws!"
Silu said, looking incredulous.
"So that's how it is... it's like programming a computer program, having items execute commands you've set."
"And the power of laws is to design programs for all things..."
Zhang Chen nodded.
As for Silu's claim that she could nullify laws—Zhang Chen didn't believe he had that capability himself.
After all, the energy of laws was completely incompatible with the existence of creation and destruction, time, and space.
The reason he was able to prevent these stones from continuing their regenerative task was because he had destroyed them with immense energy, leaving them insufficient energy to recover.
If someone more powerful were to imbue the stones with extremely potent energy, he might still be fighting them now.
Only by exhausting the energy within the stones could the laws be completely nullified.
It was indeed a troublesome ability.
However, at the same time, Zhang Chen's interest in the Pillar of Life of the Divine Realm grew immensely!
Every noble in the Divine Realm received a core of a creation and destruction meteorite at birth?
And they could even use meteorites containing law energy to make armor?!
To what extent of decadence and extravagance did this reach?
At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly had a bold hypothesis.
What if the entire Pillar of Life was actually an unimaginably vast combination of meteorite cores?
And the meteorite core in his own body was merely a part of it?
The thought of this scenario filled Zhang Chen with excitement.
He knew that meteorites wouldn't appear out of nowhere; there had to be a source.
And now, he seemed to have found that source.
"Take me to your world!"
Zhang Chen suddenly said.
"What?"
Silu was utterly shocked.
"I said, take me to your world."
Zhang Chen reiterated.
"A mere mortal dares to set foot in the Divine Realm?"
Silu was about to retort when she noticed Keke's icy stare and quickly changed her tune:
"Alright, alright, I'll open the teleportation portal now..."
Silu slowly chanted a spell, and then, a golden teleportation portal slowly opened...
"Let's go, we'll go in together!"
Zhang Chen walked up to the now normal-sized Silu, placed an arm around her waist, and gently put his other arm around Keke.
This was to prevent Silu from harboring any ill intentions.
As long as the three of them were together, if she tried anything, they would all suffer the consequences.
Moreover, with Zhang Chen's strength, anything Silu could handle, he could easily manage. And anything she couldn't, he still could.
This way, it was a win-win situation.
Soon, the three of them passed through the portal and arrived in a completely new world.
This was the summit of a mountain.
From here, one could overlook an area dozens of kilometers around.
As far as the eye could see, it was lush and green, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Villages were scattered throughout, and in the distance, a magnificent and grand city could be seen.
"Is this the Divine Realm? It feels no different from Earth!"
Zhang Chen said with a frown.
"Rather than saying it's similar to Earth, it's more accurate to say that parallel worlds were created based on this template. They are all imitations."
"Because your world likely doesn't have this!"
Silu said, pointing proudly at the sky.
