C2355 The Strongest Origin God

The God of Destiny, Stephanie, holds a status that surpasses even Heesters among the myriad worlds.

Countless tales have been spun about her.

Some say she was the first to be blessed by the Origin Spirit, ascending to become a supreme being.

Others claim she was the pioneer in mastering the Art of Refining the Origin Spirit, infusing it into her very being, thus becoming the God of Destiny.

There are also whispers that she led the Origin Gods and Origin Beasts to alter the destinies of all creatures, freeing them from the yoke of the Origin Spirit and elevating their existence beyond mere animalistic survival.

She is shrouded in mystery, a towering figure of awe.

The surge of power from the depths of the spring emanates from the God of Destiny, Stephanie, revitalizing those who once teetered on the brink of peril.

Feeling her strength, Heesters is invigorated, and the three Origin Beasts find newfound resolve.

"You've arrived as well."

Heesters breathes a sigh of relief, then assures Yu Yuan, "All is well now. With her presence, we should be safe."

Stephanie's rank in the other worlds eclipses his own. She is the revered leader of the Origin Gods and Origin Beasts, as well as the chieftain of the Heavenly Race.

This enigmatic woman, eternal in her existence, holds a stature in the other worlds akin to that of Beilstein in the Origin Realm.

All beings capable of breaking free from the Origin Spirit's dominion, including the God of Calamity, Dickinson, hold the God of Destiny in the highest esteem.

Ancient legends herald the God of Destiny as the first to cast off the chains of the Origin Spirit and grasp the secrets of its refinement, guiding the denizens of other worlds out of their torment.

"God of Destiny!"

Yu Yuan's gaze is filled with eager anticipation as he fixates on the spring, longing to witness the most formidable Origin God of the otherworldly realms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The immense power bursting forth from the spring has riddled the Myriad Spirit Restriction with innumerable breaches. Even before the God of Destiny's arrival, her projected force threatens to obliterate it.

Yu Yuan is awestruck.

Without the Spirit of Time within him, Heesters could employ the Time Book to penetrate the barrier merging the three Myriad Spirit Restrictions, forging a pathway to the exterior of the Origin Domain.

The Time God Heesters had already left Yu Yuan in awe, marveling at the formidable power of the gods from foreign realms.

Yet Stephanie proved to be even more formidable and fierce!

Before her physical form had even descended, the force that burst forth from the other end of the spring had already left the Origin Soul's Myriad Spirit Restriction full of holes.

In both the Origin Realm and the Desolate Realm, only Heesters and Beilstein had the ability to break through the Myriad Spirit Restriction.

Moreover, it wasn't the combined strength of three Myriad Spirit Restrictions that had been breached.

Rip!

Numerous dazzling seals, like colorful curtains torn asunder, danced around the spring, slowly vanishing into thin air.

The Origin Soul, lurking in the shadows, realized the dire situation and reclaimed the torn seals to its domain.

The Origin Soul was doing its utmost to minimize the damage.

Even the mighty Abyss Origin Soul seemed to be taken aback by the power of Stephanie, the God of Destiny, fearing that the Myriad Spirit Restriction it had so carefully crafted would be utterly destroyed by this supreme deity from another realm.

"It's enough!"

Seeing the unfolding scene, Heesters grew more at ease and promptly said to Yu Yuan, "Let's head to the spring!"

With the Myriad Spirit Restriction no longer in the way, they could all use the sole spring in the Origin Domain to travel to another world.

Wherever that other side might be, it was bound to be safer than the Origin Domain.

At that moment, influenced by the Spirit of Time within him, the determination of the three great Origin Spirits to linger, and the departure of Loong Jie, Yuan Lianyao, and others, the number of remaining powerhouses had dwindled.

The Origin Spirits within the Origin Beasts had fled, and the God of Chaos, Dickinson, was on the verge of being overtaken by the Origin Spirit within him.

In light of these events, Yu Yuan suddenly realized there was no longer a need to flee.

"There's no need to leave; I'll be entering shortly."

A soothing voice unexpectedly echoed from the depths of the spring.

Just like Heesters, everyone who heard it instantly grasped its meaning.

As soon as the voice emerged, Heesters fell silent, refraining from any further prompts.

"If she says there's no need to leave, then we shall stay," he declared.

Heesters then channeled his divine power to expel the lingering essence of the Spirit of Time from his eyes, directing it all into the Time Book.

Looking at the Time Book laid open before him, with its brightly colored pages, Heesters seemed to envision the scene where the Spirit of Time gathered and unsuccessfully attempted to bewitch Zhong Chichen.

"Truthfully, whether you survive or not has no bearing on me."

As the chieftain of the Bone Race, a nostalgic glint appeared in Heesters' eyes. He seemed to be speaking to the Spirit of Time, yet also to himself: "I have great respect for Beilstein. He shares my sense of gratitude."

"Once, I was just a common youngster among the Bone Race. Having the good fortune to meet you, to be graced by your favor, and to be endowed with the profound truths of the temporal sequence, marked the brightest moment of my life."

"I will always remember that day, and all that you did for me."

"Without you, there would be no Heesters, no chieftain of the Bone Race, and no Time God."

A flicker of sorrow crossed his gaze.

"That's why I let you manipulate me over and over, allowing you to possess my body. But as the leader of the Bone Race, I have my duties and obligations. When you sought to harm other formidable members of our race after possessing me, I could no longer tolerate it. I had to..."

Heesters turned away, glancing into the depths of the spring, and sighed, "It was then that Lady Stephanie approached me, teaching me the ways to refine Origin Spirits, offering me significant assistance."

"In the end, it was your coercion that left me no choice but to act against you."

"I am truly sorry."

He sighed softly, adding, "Now that you have awakened anew in the Origin Domain and manifested once more, it brings me a sense of release."

This towering figure, a white jade skeleton, had always carried a burden in his heart for having refined his benefactor, the Spirit of Time, who had elevated him to supremacy.

The Great Demon God Beilstein had always waited for the proactive strike of the Origin Soul, allowing him to counterattack with a clear conscience.

Even after his successful counter, he often reminisced about the time when he was nothing and had encountered the Spirit of Time, cherishing the care it had shown him.

Feeling the Spirit of Time stir once more, seeking to possess and destroy him, he was compelled to act in defense.

Yet, deep down, if it meant the Spirit of Time could simply exist, he was willing to let it be.

He lacked the power to reconvene the Spirit of Time within himself. Yet, since the Origin Spirit of the Origin Domain was capable, he was content to go with the flow.

"You, you never change! But it's precisely for this reason that I chose you in the first place. You and Beilstein are both fine young fellows."

The gentle voice resurfaced.

Whoosh!

Then, a tall woman with a cascade of golden hair emerged step by step from the spring. The lingering Myriad Spirit Restriction vanished even more swiftly upon her arrival.

Dickinson, previously in the throes of lament, was suddenly stilled as she surfaced from the spring's depths. The celestial woman, towering with alabaster skin, donned a peculiar golden mask adorned with two exotic flower patterns beneath her golden eyes. The mask, covering the sides of her cheeks, radiated sanctity and majesty, compelling an irresistible urge to venerate.

The God of Destiny, her true face partially concealed, was clad in a golden cape intricately etched with numerous enigmatic patterns. These designs shimmered with a brilliant light as she moved, seemingly alive and writhing. Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and discerned that the patterns on her cape were laden with profound truths of the Origin Spirit and the essence of bloodlines from myriad worlds. It was as though she had woven strands of law and Crystal Chains into the fabric of her cape.

In her left hand, she gripped an amethyst wand, from which emanated a profound and enigmatic power. It seemed that a mere gesture from the wand could alter destinies, manipulating the threads of life itself.

Without any overt display of her might, her mere presence in the Origin Domain commanded the undivided attention of all.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The enigmatic lights and hidden laws that surrounded the spring vanished instantly with her appearance, creating an eerie vacuum in the vast expanse of space around her.

"Lady Stephanie!"

"Lady!"

The God of Calamity, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Chai En, witnessing her formal emergence from the spring, paid their respects with unparalleled devotion. Dickinson, the God of Calamity, was the most earnest and reverent among them.

As the God of Destiny, Stephanie, materialized, the Spirit of Calamity that had been poised to possess and obliterate him dissipated once again into his soul and flesh.

All the recent anomalies seemed to be mere figments of Dickinson's imagination, as if nothing had occurred at all.

The arrival of Stephanie, the God of Destiny, astonishingly managed to suppress the Origin Spirit within Dickinson, forcing the reassembling spirit back into submission!

Upon witnessing this, the three Origin Beasts lamented their misfortune, pounding their chests and stomping their feet in frustration.

They wondered if Stephanie had arrived sooner, could they have retained the Origin Spirits that had departed from their beings?

Whoosh!

The immense, fiery sun that was drifting away towards the spring's eye made an abrupt turnaround, heading back the way it came.

The Sun Spirit, evidently terrified of Stephanie, dared not come any closer.

In the dim region where the fiery sun had vanished, the glow of the crescent moon waned, and the brilliance of the stars noticeably faded.

It seemed as though they all preferred to go unnoticed by Stephanie, not wanting to catch her attention.

On the levitating meteorite, newly accepting the three great Origin Spirits of earth, thunder, and light, also maneuvered the meteorite to swiftly flee upon Stephanie's arrival.

The meteorite's escape route was towards the area where the sun had returned, the same region where the stars had dimmed.

Yu Yuan watched in astonishment, his gaze drawn to the girl with eight pairs of luminous wings above the meteorite.

"So many Origin Spirits have perished because of her!"

The Light Origin Spirit cried out in alarm.

The Mother Earth, the Thunder Origin Spirit, the Light Origin Spirit, the Spirit of the Sun, as well as the Moon and Stars—all these Origin Spirits shied away from Stephanie because they sensed the essence of countless fallen kin emanating from her.

Only a being who had slain numerous Origin Spirits could exude such a formidable aura, compelling the others to steer clear.

Stephanie seemed unconcerned. After she had completely distanced herself from the spring's eye, she cast a brief glance at the voluminous Time Book.

Whoosh!

Within the inner world of the Time Book, the Spirit of Time that had been contending with Zhong Chichen hastily retreated into another page.

The Time Book remained serenely afloat, while the Spirit of Time concealed itself within the pages, too fearful to emerge or emit any presence.

It didn't dare to flee from the Time Book in Stephanie's presence, worried that a mere gesture from her could spell its doom.

It was terrified of Stephanie, fearing that with a mere wave of her amethyst wand and a flutter of her golden cape, she might execute it on the spot.
