Chapter 561 Transcendence
Lin Xiao raised his right hand, and omniscient and omnipotent power condensed in his palm.
Those powers transformed into countless intricate runes, each rune representing a rule, a power, and an existence.
They swirled in Lin Xiao's palm, then transformed into beams of light that flew toward every corner of the universe.
Where those beams of light passed, the shattered void began to heal, the collapsed stars began to reassemble, and the dissipated nebulae began to churn.
The gray mist, illuminated by the beams of light, melted away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
The mist that surged in from the chaotic void was gradually pushed back and purified by Lin Xiao's power until it disappeared completely.
The cracks in the universe are being repaired, one by one.
Those cracks, like the fissures on parched earth, stretched from the edge of the universe all the way to its center.
But in the face of Lin Xiao's power, they were like stitched-up wounds, closing and healing little by little.
When the last crack was repaired, the entire universe became whole again.
The gray mist vanished completely, replaced by dazzling starlight, magnificent nebulae, and countless new lives being born.
But Lin Xiao did not stop.
Because what he wants to do is not just fix the universe.
He also intends to resurrect those beings slaughtered by the God of Mist.
His omnipotent power was activated once again, and this time, he invoked the rules of time.
Time, under his will, began to flow backward.
It's not a reversal of time for the entire universe, but a localized, targeted, and precise reversal.
The planets that were swallowed by the misty world began to reappear one by one.
They emerge from nothingness, return from the river of time, and are resurrected from the abyss of death.
A blue light bloomed in the void; it was Zhao Da's sword intent.
Crimson light surged in the void; it was the destructive power that scorched the heavens.
A silvery-white light flowed in the void; that was Zhuge Duo's power of destiny.
But this time, these powers are not for fighting, but for resurrection.
Lin Xiao's omniscience and omnipotence were used as a medium to pull those dead beings back from the river of time.
The first to be resurrected were Yanling and Fengyan's clansmen.
Countless crimson points of light condensed in the void, transforming into fiery phoenixes that spread their wings and soared into the sky.
Their bodies were engulfed in crimson flames, and their eyes shone with the light of life.
As Yanling looked at her resurrected clansmen, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Father... Mother..." he murmured, his voice trembling slightly.
Feng Yan also shed tears; her hands trembled, and her heart trembled.
Because she saw her parents, her brothers and sisters, and her people.
Those of their people who had been slaughtered in the misty world have now all been resurrected.
Then there is the kingdom and people of the Golden King.
Golden light bloomed in the void, transforming into magnificent palaces and warriors clad in golden armor.
The Golden King stood atop the highest point of the palace, looking down at his people with eyes filled with shock and gratitude.
"Those are...my people!" he murmured, then looked at Lin Xiao in the void and bowed deeply.
The Celestial Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain looked at his resurrected clansmen, and emerald green life force flowed around him.
Those people emerged from the void, radiating emerald light, their eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.
"Aren't we...dead?" one of the tribesmen asked.
The Celestial Venerable shook his head, his eyes filled with tears.
"You survived because Alliance Leader Lin Xiao allowed you to live."
In the end, it was Blue Star that was resurrected.
It was a blue planet with oceans, land, forests, cities, and billions of people.
They didn't know what had happened, they didn't know they had died once, and they didn't know that a person named Lin Xiao had brought them back to life.
They just continued with their lives as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiao looked at the azure planet, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
That was his former home, the place where he was born, and the place where he grew up.
But now, he is no longer that ordinary boy.
He is already a tenth-order being, an existence that transcends the universe.
He is now the guardian of this universe and the savior of countless lives.
He has already reached a higher level of existence.
"It's all over," Lin Xiao said softly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.
The warriors of the Eternal Alliance hovered in the void, looking at the resurrected beings and the blue planet with eyes full of awe and gratitude.
They knew that Lin Xiao was behind all of this.
They created miracles, they saved the universe, and they brought the dead back to life.
Shi Yan floated in the void, with silver time power flowing around him.
He watched Lin Xiao's retreating figure, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Then, he remembered the scene he had seen through the river of time.
In that river of time, he saw a vision of the future.
In the scene, Lin Xiao stands in the void, with nine-colored light flowing around him. Then, with a tremor, he disappears from the spot.
And that scene is right now.
"I see..." Shi Yan murmured, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"This is the future I see."
"Alliance Leader Lin Xiao is about to transcend."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's body trembled slightly.
At that moment, the cosmic rules that bound him were easily broken free by his power.
It's not about breaking or destroying, but about breaking free.
It was like breaking free from a thin veil, like escaping a spider web—incredibly easy.
Lin Xiao felt his body begin to rise, beginning to transcend the boundaries of this universe.
He could see the barrier of the universe above his head, a transparent membrane that separated the universe from the chaotic void.
Once he passes through that membrane, he can step into the chaotic void, transcend this universe, and become a higher level of existence.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and nine-colored light flowed around him, while a miniature universe slowly operated within his body.
He glanced back at the universe, at the warriors of the Eternal Alliance, and at the azure planet.
Then, he turned around and flew toward the edge of the universe.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Zhuge Duo's eyes were filled with tears, Zhao Da's eyes were filled with respect, Mary Keith's eyes were filled with gratitude, and Shi Yan's eyes were filled with blessings.
They knew that Lin Xiao was leaving.
He wanted to transcend this universe and explore a wider world.
And they will remember him forever, be grateful to him forever, and cherish his memory forever.
Lin Xiao's figure moved faster and farther away, soon reaching the edge of the universe.
He raised his right hand and gently touched the transparent film.
The membrane cracked open when he touched it.
From the crevice, the aura of chaotic void surged forth.
The aura was chaotic and violent, dangerous yet alluring.
A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips, and then she stepped through the gap.
The moment his body passed through the gap, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh!"
Because he discovered that ahead of him was a mist different from that of the God of Mist.
The mist was a deeper, thicker, and purer color.
Its status is higher than that of the God of Mist, its power is greater than that of the God of Mist, and its essence is more profound than that of the God of Mist.
The mist seemed to sense Lin Xiao's gaze. It trembled slightly, then quickly flew into the depths of the chaotic void and soon disappeared from Lin Xiao's sight.
Lin Xiao looked in the direction where the mist disappeared, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Interesting. That should be the core of the Sea of Mist!" he murmured, a smile playing on his lips.
"It seems that if I hadn't appeared, the plans of both the God of Mist and the Will of the Universe would have ultimately benefited others."
He withdrew his gaze and looked into the depths of the chaotic void.
There, there are countless universes, countless worlds, and countless beings.
Some universes are being invaded by something like a fog, some worlds are being devoured by a more powerful being, and some places are witnessing wars that even he could not have imagined.
"Is this the chaotic void?" Lin Xiao said softly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"It's indeed more vast and more wonderful than I imagined."
He took a deep breath, and nine-colored light flowed around him, while a miniature universe slowly operated within his body.
Then, he took the first step.
That was his first step after transcending, and also his first step in exploring the chaotic void.
His figure grew farther and smaller in the chaotic void until it disappeared completely.
Behind him, the rift in the universe slowly closed, separating the chaotic void from the universe once again.
In the universe, the warriors of the Eternal Alliance stared in the direction where Lin Xiao had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.
Then, Zhuge Duo spoke, her voice carrying a hint of determination.
"He will come back."
Zhao Da nodded and gripped his sword tightly.
"It definitely will."
A glint flashed in Mary Keith's eyes.
"Because he promised us."
A smile appeared on Shi Yan's lips.
"Moreover, he has not yet seen what the universe truly looks like in its prime."
Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with hope.
Because they knew that although Lin Xiao had transcended, he would always be the guardian of this universe, their leader, and the most powerful being in their hearts.
Meanwhile, in the chaotic void, Lin Xiao was taking his second step, his third step, his fourth step...
His figure grew farther and smaller in the void, but his light grew brighter and stronger.
Because he knew that his journey had only just begun.
There are still more challenges, more opportunities, and more excitement ahead.
And he was already prepared.
