Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

In a desolate and utterly silent world, chaotic time and space constantly overlap.

Space and time seem to operate without any discernible pattern.

Jiang Ye, his body enveloped in blue and white divine light, had a cold and stern expression, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

As far as the eye could see ahead lay an endless gray universe, vast and boundless.

Even with his current perception, he couldn't discern the location in space and time.

In the gray world, it seemed as if he was the only one there, and the rest was completely silent.

In this chaotic and disordered spacetime, trying to find Nyx using ordinary methods would not only fail to pinpoint his location, but would also trap him in this spacetime.

Jiang Ye lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In the original story, Zeus used a fragment of the Key to the Gate to banish the gods of Bulwark, which was the chaos before the birth of heaven and earth, and the end of time and space.

Therefore, this place is not only separated from the dream world by distance, but also by an endless barrier of time.

To return to the original world using ordinary methods of travel, it would take at least ten thousand years.

But for Jiang Ye, who possesses the [Concept: River Manager], going back is not a difficult task.

However, finding people in this chaotic space-time is a difficult problem.

This place is so vast, it's practically endless, and there are no reference points at all.

Jiang Ye's gaze swept across the gray world before he closed his eyes.

Now we can only rely on the Xuanyuan Sword's sensing ability to try and find Nyx's location.

As time passed, a location slowly appeared in Jiang Ye's mind, rippling like waves on water.

He suddenly opened his eyes, tore through the void, and vanished from his original time and space in an instant.

However, upon entering another dimension, the surrounding environment remained unchanged, still a vast expanse of gray.

There was no sound at all; the surroundings were deathly silent!

Ok?

Jiang Ye scanned the area for a moment and found the Xuanyuan Sword, which was floating in mid-air and enveloped in golden divine power.

But they found no trace of Nyx, not even a lingering scent.

His expression immediately turned cold.

Nyx used his own divine essence to unleash the strongest attack of the Xuanyuan Sword, which would inevitably destroy his divine essence.

Could it be that...

Do not!

A faint light flickered in Jiang Ye's palm as he activated [Concept: Soul Return], filling the entire gray space with a vast expanse of eerie green light.

But as time passed, there was no reaction whatsoever.

Jiang Ye was immediately overjoyed, which meant that Nyx was still alive.

But... if one's divine essence is damaged, how can one still survive... that's a bit strange.

Once, when Jiang Ye entered Lin Qiye's dream in Gusu City, he used the ultimate technique of the Xuanyuan Sword.

After use, it can only last for a few minutes at most before the divine essence dissipates and the laws return to the Great Dao.

Jiang Ye had been here for much longer than that...

Hmm... wait!

Jiang Ye's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at his own soul form, his eyes trembling.

No, none of that is right!

It has been well past 10 minutes since we entered this place.

[Concept · Shielding] Anyone who leaves the hospital more than 500 meters away and stays there for more than 10 minutes will be forcibly pulled back to the hospital.

But now... there isn't.

Jiang Ye's expression changed as he calmed himself down.

What does this mean? The only explanation is a plot revision.

This is no longer the same world; the rules of the Gods' Mental Hospital no longer apply here.

Therefore, he wanted to get the plot back on track by exiling himself.

In other words, Nyx is a bait that makes him take the bait.

Jiang Ye frowned, then sighed.

Even without this so-called plot correction, he would still have come here without hesitation.

Nyx... Mom!

Jiang Ye's eyes seemed to reflect the scene of the previous lunar battle.

A smile appeared on his lips as his gaze swept across the chaotic gray space-time.

"Looks like it'll take some effort."

In the original story, after the gods of the Great Xia banished this place, it was only through An Qingyu's voluntary infection with 'Cthulhu' that they were finally saved.

While searching for a way out, they entered the 'Ancestral Temple'.

Nyx, whose divine nature was damaged, was destined to dissipate without external force.

But since it's not happening now, there's only one possibility.

Nyx went to the 'Ancestral Temple' and, for some reason, survived.

"The Ancestral Temple?" Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and holy light flickered in his palm.

The holy light of the concept of miracle fell upon the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Find the way!"

As Jiang Ye finished speaking, the golden longsword trembled violently, and a wisp of deep red divine power flew out from the sword and merged with the holy light.

The moment the two divine powers merged, the holy light gradually dimmed.

“Failed…” Jiang Ye paused slightly, his eyes narrowing. “Then let’s try a hundred times!”

The holy light in his palm once again enveloped Nyx's power of darkness. As the holy light alternated between light and darkness, the space around him seemed to be affected and began to collapse.

Click, click, click!

The sound of the space collapsing did not affect Jiang Ye, who continued to unleash miracles.

Since the concept of miracles was established, only the higher-dimensional rules of hospitals can cause miracles to fail.

The fact that it's now malfunctioning indicates that something is deliberately preventing me from finding the Ancestral Temple.

But it doesn't matter. If it can stop it once, how can it stop it a hundred times... a thousand times, ten thousand times?

Time passes slowly...

Jiang Ye didn't know how much time had passed. In this gray world, the perception of time was very weak, or even non-existent.

hum-

Finally, on the 1937th attempt, the miracle worked.

In the gray space, holy light and crimson divine power merged together, and from this starting point, a golden-red beam of light shot out, piercing through the endless spatial barrier.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ye's lips curled up slightly. "Mother, I've come to take you home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ye's figure flashed rapidly along the golden-red beam of light, causing the space to tremble.

……

Half a month later, in the Heavenly Court.

Above the sky where snow-white cranes circled, two Taoist priests walked side by side, their feet resting on celestial clouds.

The Taoist master in black and white robes looked slightly haggard and said, "Repairing the National Guardian Stele has consumed most of our divine power, and we need to recover as soon as possible."

"Yes, what Ruoyland said is right. The Temple of the Gods and Olympus are already planning to attack Great Xia, but there should be a few more months, which should be enough."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke in a slightly weak voice.

The National Guardian Stele is a monument that embodies the power of the gods, requiring a massive amount of divine power, and its repair is not an easy task.

Fortunately, there are still several months before the big battle, enough time for them to recover.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.

"The situation in Great Xia is complicated now, and Lingbao... needs to return as soon as possible."

Yuanshi Tianzun was slightly taken aback, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

If I think about it, in the previous dream cycles, I should go and persuade Lingbao.

"Laojun, you should go back to your temple to recuperate. I'm going to Guoyun Island."

"So soon?" asked the Supreme Lord of Morality in surprise.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded. "It's time to go."
