The next day, by now, the population had increased by 5 billion. Everyone was getting busy. Julie, Miwa, and Alissa were enjoying their ti in the Nexus Domain, and his parents had gone into seclusion to comprehend laws. The elves had given their regards and left, but before they left, they asked Aerin to stay behind. She beca aware of his powers as a formation master and wished to learn from him. Grey wanted to reject her at first, but she was extrely talented, hence he decided to take her in.
He had been slacking on his formations for a while now.
But before he completed all that, it was ti to go back to the Blue Star and bring back everyone there, then rge the planet with the Nexus Domain.
Or maybe he would make it a cute little planet orbiting within the Nexus Domain.
The Dragon Monarch spaceship traveled through the vast space until it reached the Blue Star.
As soon as he arrived, a shooting star shot towards him with imnse speed.
"You made a lot of noise while you were away." The person that rushed into his embrace was none other than Valeria.
Without hesitation, Grey kissed her on the forehead. "I missed you too."
He then gave her another kiss on the cheek.
"Stop, the others are here." Valeria stopped her man before he went overboard, because Werner, his disciple Carter, and the others were already here.
"Hm, where is Lia?" Grey suddenly frowned. "And where is Little Hong?"
"About that..." Valeria’s expression stiffened. "Several days after you left, Lia and Little Hong mysteriously vanished. But once Bai Yue used her eye powers, she was able to trace it to divinity."
"It was a god, Lord Grey," Bai Yue said with distress. "I was injured in the process, but the ones that abducted them were unmistakably gods."
"Abducted, huh?" Grey’s chuckle turned cold.
[What do you plan to do, Grey?] Fragnt asked in his mind.
"What else? Get ready, fragnt."
[Got it.]
"Origin Will," Grey called out after replying to the Fragnt.
Imdiately, ti froze, and the Origin Will manifested in front of him.
"I cannot tell you anything." The Origin Will looked at him plainly and spoke.
"The matters of the universe... you do know that I can’t reveal them to you, right? Tian Yuan had also tried to do the sa, but I rejected him every ti."
Grey looked at her with a calm expression; it was so calm that the Origin Will began to worry.
"You either tell , or I unleash the Heavenly Dao’s power to kill you," Grey said with a aningful smile.
"One is my girlfriend and the other is my daughter. To , it ans more than you, who is a replaceable existence."
"God’s traces cannot be found through normal ans. I know that much, containing the essence of a god myself. Tell , where are they?"
"..." The Origin Will stared at Grey with a sigh.
"They are on the other side of the universe. In the other domain the Yellow Ancestor told you about."
"Bring there." Grey looked at the Origin Will and requested.
"Fine," the Origin Will sighed. "Just my luck. There is nothing I can do when threatened with destruction."
"But I will rember this, Grey Lockhart." The Origin Will clicked her tongue as she snapped her fingers. "Don’t kill them."
"That is up to how they are treating my girlfriend and daughter."
Grey stood in front of a glowing world.
There were no other worlds around here; it was completely secluded. But he expected that, the gods should be at least capable of this much.
Without hesitation, he entered it.
As soon as he did, several beams of light shot towards him, which were instantly changed by the myriad laws of chaos.
"Who are you?" A dignified voice ca from the world. It was a man with golden hair, golden eyes, and a divine aura around him.
"How did you find this place, puny mortal?"
"Where is Lia?" Grey inquired with a calm gaze.
"Atrocious! You dare to casually na the God Empress of the God World with such a mortal na?" The blonde-haired man’s expression twisted as he visibly turned angry.
---
"What is happening outside?" Inside a red palace, several beings were seated. They were gods, and in the middle of it all sat Lia.
She also frowned at the disturbance.
"Go check out who it is," Lia ordered one of the gods in the seats.
"As you command, God Empress." A god stood up as he unleashed his aura. It was at the 7th rank. The others seated around the golden palace had peak 7th rank or 8th rank auras.
Lia was the only one with a 5th rank aura.
However, the following mont, space violently ripped apart as Grey appeared in the palace with an unconscious god in his hand.
Everyone in the room montarily paused in their tracks.
"Grey?!" Lia exclaid in disbelief.
"Who are you? What did you do to Aethel?" one of the young-looking gods with an 8th rank aura inquired as he eyed the blonde man in Grey’s hands.
They were all looking down on Grey, who had trespassed into a god’s sanctuary.
However, before they could do anything, Lia’s voice cut through. "Everyone stop. He is my partner. You cannot do anything to him."
"What? Your partner?" One of the gods frowned hearing this. "How can you have a partner, God Empress? There is no one in the entire cosmos or higher world that can be a suitor, let alone a mortal like him. I sense no ounce of higher power from him."
"I agree. God Empress, it seems like awakening your full mory is necessary. It seems like you have forgotten what it is about being a god. We are pure beings born out of the boundless energetic expression. As its ruler, you cannot do such a thing. The mortal world has corrupted you."
"Capture this imperfect mortal!" One of the other gods gave orders as they criticized Lia.
They felt it was barbaric and atrocious of Lia to have been mingling with a mortal man from this lower world that wasn’t worth a candle to even the lowest-tiered higher world.
They, gods, once ruled the higher worlds. They were the absolute rulers of it, along with the true source beings.
However, before they could take further action, Grey looked at them with a codic look on his face.
He felt that it was very funny. They called him an imperfect mortal while they addressed themselves as perfect beings.
It was like a joke to him, the sole person that embodied perfection.
Then, the following instant, around the gigantic and spacious red palace, several Hell Portals popped up.
Out of them erged devils.
"Go, servants of the god from hell. Capture that mortal spawn."
However, the instant they laid their eyes on Grey, their expressions stiffened.
The devils were once angels of the god kingdom, but those who disobeyed the gods fell as fallen angels, giving birth to devils. The boundless hell was created by the true devil that gained access to the power of the Ascendant Domain, but in turn, the boundless expression that made them rendered them unable to surpass the authority of gods. They must forever serve the rulers of gods as servants for disobeying the very beings they were made to serve.
But, in turn, the devils would be the true ruler of the Boundless Hell and rulers of death and the evil of the world.
But at the sa ti, the devils had an instinctual power to sense pure divinity.
Right now, in the room, the one with the purest divinity was not Lia. The God Empress.
It was Grey Lockhart, whose divinity had already been conditioned from a simple presence created by the so-called boundless expressions.
The devils, all of them at the 8th rank, visibly shook as they fell to the ground as if they had just almost committed a great sin.
And the following mont, the devils took their own lives.
"What?!" The gods in the room visibly beca stunned seeing this sight.
"W-Why did they take their own lives? W-Why did they kneel to that man?" The gods all cumulatively turned to Grey in disbelief. Lia was also equally shocked.
They were not foreign to why they did it... but the possibility of it being true... was nigh impossible.
"You know, it is quite funny to . How you guys are calling an imperfect mortal, when you are more imperfect than ."
The power of divinity surged out from Grey like a boundless wave. The following instant, space cracked as the absolute authority of the god summoned devils into the mortal plane.
"I-Impossible. Hell Portal?" The gods all visibly had their faces change color.
"Then..." Didn’t that an the probability of the devils committing suicide because the person in front of them had a purer authority of divinity was true...?!
"You know, I usually treat people nicely if they treat nicely too." Grey looked at them with a kind smile, which slowly narrowed into a cold look.
"However, you gods, you are too arrogant. And in front of , you are not worthy to be arrogant."
Boom!
His Crown of Finality and his Saintly Halo stirred up as reality began to distort.
The following mont, the red palace made of what appeared to be the gods’ perfect incantations collapsed as the Beast of Finality descended from his inner space; with it, the Nexus Angels also erged.
By now, all the other gods across the world had already perceived this change. They all rushed towards the palace with serious expressions, but stopped dead in their tracks when the sky above cracked apart.
Golden light illuminated the world as the power of the Heavenly Dao surged.
Ancient Dao incantations and Buddhist scriptures began to ring out on the planet the gods were staying on.
In the dead center of it, Grey stood with his eyes calmly gazing at the terrified gods with his hands clasped behind his back. Behind him was the Fragnt, unleashing its full power as the Heavenly Dao, and below him the 1,000,000 Nexus Angels stood. Soon, the devils turned into Nexus Angels themselves as they also joined that army.
"I an, I expected you gods to be arrogant. But, since you decided to force my hands, I had no choice," Grey spoke as he calmly sat on the back of the Beast of Finality, his Crown of Finality blazing with absolute authority.
He looked more like a god than them.
"W-Who are you? Are you from the Ascendancy Domain?" one of the elder gods asked in a terrified voice.
"I am sure my girlfriend already told you who I am. Her boyfriend." Grey smiled coldly at them.
By now, the others had also arrived.
"Who is that? How dare he trespass into the territory of gods!"
"Why aren’t the elders doing anything?"
Grey glanced at them with a blank expression, and the next mont, they all fell to the ground like flies.
Their knees buckled as their bodies fell, with their heads hitting the floor hard.
"Enough. Grey, don’t hurt them." Lia finally snapped out of her shock and pleaded. "T-They are my people. I know they have wronged you, but they don’t know who or what you are."
"You are getting punished after this, you know that right, my dear girlfriend? Don’t ddle in matter. I’ll handle it." Grey smiled at her brightly and spoke.
Lia’s expression stiffened when she heard this. She didn’t know what to say to this anymore.
"I am here to pick up my girlfriend and daughter," Grey spoke casually to the gods. "I will leave after that, and we will treat it like we never saw each other. How about that?"
Grey snapped his fingers, and a fragnted axe appeared next to him.
Then, with another snap of his fingers, the axe stirred and transford, turning into Little Hong, who had grown bigger. She looked like a teenager who was fifteen or sixteen.
"Grey..." Little Hong opened her eyes in disbelief. "What is happening here?"
"Call Dad." Grey turned to her and sternly lectured her. "You are also getting punished for leaving without saying anything."
"It wasn’t mine or Lia’s... Mom’s fault," Little Hong hesitated before calling Lia mom.
"These people abducted us while we were transforming." Little Hong pointed at the gods around Lia, who were too terrified to move.
"I told them that you will co find us and if you do, all of them will die. But they didn’t listen." Little Hong shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
"But they did manage to find one more Chaos Seal. Maybe you can reconsider letting them go, Dad?"
"Hm." Grey nodded.
His daughter had grown more sensible, it seed. The ti he found her, she was a being with no emotion. It was a good thing.
"Forgive us," one of the gods spoke in a terrified voice.
They first thought that the axe, who had not regained most of her mories, was acting childish about so perfect being. But looking at Grey, who was constantly exhibiting the power of Nexus, their minds went numb.
They felt like they were looking at their creator.
"Oh great being. Are you the boundless expression that created us? Your divinity surpassed that of the God Empress who took on the mantle of the Primordial God, Pangu."
"The boundless expression? Don’t compare that thing to my father. It is not worthy to be addressed on the sa level as my father."
"What?" The gods hearing this couldn’t comprehend Little Hong’s words.
