Cultivating Through The Game

Chapter 873 - 40: My Universe (3)_2

"Hoo~" Lu Yu exhaled, and the blast of light from the exploding sun dissipated before him.He walked toward the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons, which stopped fleeing and turned to face Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was the ruler of this universe. If he wished, his body could become the toughest object, the most stable substance in the universe.

Even if the Saint Ancestor Realm demons unleashed power equivalent to a supernova explosion, they couldn't harm his body in the slightest.

He was an invincible presence in this universe.

The greatest mistake of the Saint Ancestor Realm demons was entering Lu Yu's universe.

In fact, they hadn't expected this universe to have been created by Lu Yu. At most, they thought Lu Yu, like them, was similar to other Saint Ancestor Realms.

They only held a part of the universe's authority, able to manipulate the cosmic laws.

Yet they hadn't realized that Lu Yu held the highest authority over this universe's starry sky; he was the ruler of this universe.

Staring at the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons before him, Lu Yu's eyes sparkled, and licking his lips, he said,

"If you hadn't rushed in, I wouldn't have been able to deal with you. After all, the Grand Universe world rejects my power too much, and I can only wield a fraction of it."

"But now, with you here, I have the key to break through to the Grand Universe world."

"Ignorant human, you will never understand the terror of demons," the Saint Ancestor Realm demons coldly told Lu Yu.

After speaking, they detonated the power within, intending to self-destruct.

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and he uttered a single word, "Stop!"

Time halted, and everything came to a standstill, with only Lu Yu still able to move.

This was his universe; he could stop time for as long as he wished.

Everything was under his command. He was the only god, the sole ruler, the true god in this universe.

With a thought, Lu Yu saw the bodies of the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons rapidly disassemble, like dismantled mecha, reduced to various components.

Exposing their innermost core, the previously invisible essence, lay bare before Lu Yu.

The essence continued to break down further, into law comprehension, personal experiences, and most importantly, the Grand Universe world authority.

The Grand Universe felt the crisis, and power surged into Lu Yu's domain from where the two universes connected.

Lu Yu looked up, glanced at the incoming power, and waved his hand, "This is my domain."

The power of the Grand Universe was blocked at the edge of the passage, unable to advance.

Boom, boom, boom~ The entire cosmic sky trembled, and the Grand Universe's power slammed against Lu Yu's universe, trying to stop Lu Yu's actions.

It was impossible; Lu Yu would not give up the opportunity within his grasp.

Even if it meant risking direct confrontation with the Grand Universe, he was determined to seize the authority held by the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons.

Otherwise, his power could never penetrate the Grand Universe world.

He would always remain a spectator, unable to participate in any of the Grand Universe world's affairs.

Lu Yu watched as two beams of light parsed from the origins of the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons were drawn into Lu Yu's body with a flick of his finger.

He carefully comprehended them, understanding that the two demons each controlled one-thousandth of the Grand Universe world's authority.

In other words, the two Saint Ancestor Realm demons together merely held two-thousandths of the Grand Universe world's authority.

With a thought, Lu Yu manifested an avatar in the Grand Universe world, which, controlling two-thousandths of the universe's authority, was equivalent to a Saint Ancestor Realm of the Grand Universe world.

As the avatar appeared, Lu Yu also felt a deeper connection between the avatar and the Grand Universe world.

At this moment, this avatar was indistinguishable from a Saint Ancestor Realm of the Grand Universe.

"An avatar of a Saint Ancestor Realm, haha~" Lu Yu chuckled.

With a casual wave, the two thoroughly disassembled Saint Ancestor Realm demons vanished from the world.

Two-thousandths of the Grand Universe world's authority compared with one hundred percent of the starry sky universe's authority, yet they were incommensurable.

Once the avatar appeared in the Grand Universe world, the will of the Grand Universe ceased its attack on the starry sky universe; the events had transpired, and no struggle could alter it.

The will of the Grand Universe could not strip away the avatar's two-thousandths authority.

The avatar stood motionless in the void. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, becoming lively and vibrant, as it blinked, brimming with life.

Lu Yu's consciousness entered the avatar created within the Grand Universe world.

After entering the avatar, he could more deeply sense the intimate bond between the avatar and the Grand Universe world.

As long as the avatar retained the two-thousandths authority, and the Grand Universe remained, the avatar would never perish.

The seizure of authority wasn't a simple task; the vast majority of Saint Ancestor Realms could not seize authority.

Lu Yu utilized his absolute control over the starry sky universe to retain the Grand Universe world authority within the origins of the Saint Ancestor Realm demons.

Otherwise, the authority would vanish the moment the origins were decomposed.

There was another way to seize authority; rather than seizing, it was more about revoking the Saint Ancestor Realm's authority.

That is, by finding the source imprint left in the Grand Universe world by the Saint Ancestor Realm and erasing it, the authority they held could be revoked.

Two hard requirements to erase these source imprints: knowing their location and possessing a higher authority.

The location of source imprints automatically generates when ascending to the Saint Ancestor Realm.

Apart from the Saint Ancestor Realm itself, no one knows where they are.

A higher authority is defined as an order of magnitude; one percent is higher than two-thousandths, with nine-thousandths and one-thousandths being at the same level.

One-tenth authority is a higher level than one percent.

Of course, one-tenth can be subdivided into: nine-tenths, eight-tenths, seven-tenths... each increase of one-tenth raises the authority level by one.

Ultimate authority is naturally one hundred percent.

But no one has ever achieved this.

Theoretically, when only one Saint Ancestor Realm remains in the Grand Universe world, that Saint Ancestor might obtain one hundred percent of world authority.

Like a system administrator, it is unique,

and each portion of world authority is also unique.

Acquiring Grand Universe world authority and great power simultaneously imposes constraints.

A Martial Cultivator who breaks through in the Divine Martial World engraves the source imprint within it, sharing its fate.

Theoretically, to kill a Saint Ancestor of the Divine Martial World, one need only destroy the Divine Martial World.

Even the Netherworld suffers similarly; if destroyed by demons, the Saint Ancestor Realm of the Netherworld can only linger on Silent Island, unable to leave it.

In their state, they are scarcely different from the dead.

They can barely subsist because the demons need the Netherworld as a dining table, gathering souls from the Nether River to cultivate higher demons.

Higher demons require powerful souls to master the Heaven and Earth Law, and the soul's raw materials come from the Netherworld, a world fallen under demon dominion.

Lower and mid-tier demons have no souls, which Lu Yu had long known.

Lu Yu's avatar gained world authority and ascended to the Saint Ancestor Realm in the void.

In other words, this avatar's source imprint is etched in the void.

It might sound better to have the source imprint in the void than in the Divine Martial World.

Because the void is vast, making the source imprint harder to locate.

Also, the void won't meet the same fate as the Netherworld, which was destroyed.

But the truth is reversed; imprints in the void are more easily detected by other Saint Ancestor Realms because they lack the cover of world origins.

To other Saint Ancestor Realms, the source imprint in the void resembles a star in the night sky, bright and shining.

The vast majority of Saint Ancestor Realms choose to leave their source imprint within a world, never in the void.

Before Lu Yu's avatar attained the Saint Ancestor Realm, he knew nothing of source imprints.

However, now knowing doesn't matter to him.

The true world authority rests with his main body; if the avatar's source imprint is erased, he can simply create another avatar.
