Wan Hongzhuang

Chapter 278 The Aloof Brave One

Chapter 1 The Beginning

The Sun God and Moon God summoned formation masters from the Human race within the God Realm to seal the entire God Realm.

Wan Lei did not shy away from the task and participated.

Hundreds of thousands of formation masters began to arrange formations, sealing the entire God Realm.

Wan Lei's performance was particularly outstanding, catching the attention of the Sun God.

"Will this be effective? I see that Demon Lord... is very powerful. He could cleave this space apart with a single axe."

After arranging the seal, Wan Lei sighed and asked the Sun God beside him.

"Of course not."

"Then why are we..."

"To bring peace of mind.

The demons did not invade not because they couldn't, but because they did not wish to. They treated the God Realm as an experimental ground to observe the cultivation system of the positive plane.

That Demon Lord's ambition is too great. He is already the Universal Supreme, and the positive plane has already lost.

But he is not content with ruling these two endless planes. He wants to break free from restraint, to enter a higher realm.

Even if... he can now control the universe and rank among the Supremes."

"An experiment? How does it work? What will he ultimately gain?"

"He wants... the positive plane to also produce a Universal Supreme."

"Why?"

"Because he is only the Supreme of the negative plane. Even if he controls the positive plane, he cannot be its Supreme.

Only those born and raised in the positive plane can become its Supreme.

He must devour the Supreme of the positive plane to possess its authority. Only then, with the two endless planes merging into one, truly becoming a single authority system, with the Yin and Yang of positive and negative perfected, can he become the sole controller of all universes.

Entering that realm, becoming a true deity, an omnipotent deity."

"He is playing with fire."

Wan Lei meant, what if that Demon Lord was devoured by the positive plane's Supreme?

"Yes, he is playing with fire. But at his level, no power or desire holds any attraction. Only the highest realm can draw him in.

For this goal, he spares no expense."

"Then what... should we do?"

"Give him a Universal Supreme."

"Ah?"

Wan Lei was completely perplexed. What did the Sun God mean?

"Don't misunderstand. I have no self-harm tendencies. We must create a Universal Supreme to contend with the Demon Lord.

Either our Supreme devours him, and the positive plane wins.

Or, he devours our Supreme, and the positive plane ceases to exist. Da Feng Novel Network.

This is our only hope for a comeback."

"Oh, I understand."

"Wan Lei, you are very good. Your wife is also good. I have also selected some of the most potential Humans and Gods. Later, I will send you to the Immortal Realm to battle the demons and grow.

Hopefully, a Supreme will emerge in the end. After all, our positive plane is at its last resort."

"God, why don't you become the Supreme? After all, you are currently the strongest in the positive plane."

"I am a born deity. I was a main god from birth, and my realm is fixed. I cannot improve.

Do not count on me, nor on the God race. Although our God race appears powerful, we are merely flawed beings.

The Human race has greater potential. The hope lies in the hands of your race."

The Sun God departed.

Soon, an order came down. He, along with Fang Xiaoyu and some other Human cultivators, led separate teams into the Immortal Realm to battle the demons.

He and Fang Xiaoyu were separated.

They were both captains and could not be together. Each had a team of over a dozen subordinates, including members of the Demon, Human, and God races.

The endless battle began.

The demon race seemed to cooperate as well, never dispatching large armies to围剿 (encircle and suppress) them. Instead, they sent only powerful demons to fight them, as if intentionally tempering them.

Wan Lei knew this was the Demon Lord's intention. If the day came when he was to achieve Supreme status, the Demon Lord would not only not hinder him but would likely willingly clear the path.

Muddled.

Wan Lei had no idea how many years he had fought, how many years he had battled. Blood and sacrifice became the eternal melody, and screams and wails were the most frequently heard music.

His cultivation progressed rapidly.

Tai Xu Realm...

Tai Heng Realm...

Wu Liang Realm...

Golden Immortal Realm...

Until only two teams remained from all the squads, all dead.

These two were his team and Fang Xiaoyu's team.

He remained muddled, not even remembering the process of him and Fang Xiaoyu becoming Sages.

In short, they were now the strongest in the entire positive plane, besides the Sun and Moon Gods.

The hope of achieving Supreme status rested upon them.

"Only one of you two can become Supreme. My original intention was to have the last survivor fight, with the victor going forth to seize the one-in-a-hundred-million chance to become Supreme.

However, since you two are husband and wife, I will not have you fight. Go together. Perhaps the hope will be slightly greater. It is good regardless of who becomes Supreme."

The Sun God personally escorted them to the Heart of the Universe in the Origin Plane.

Not a single demon obstructed them along the way.

"It's up to you."

The Sun God left.

Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu looked up at the Heart of the Universe, which was as large as a small cosmos, their hearts filled with awe.

"Wife, who do you think will become Supreme in the end?"

"I don't know. Shall we compete? I've never lost to you. Our competition isn't over yet!"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled, waving her small fists, looking incredibly adorable.

"Alright, let's compete then."

Wan Lei smiled, reached out, and placed his hand on the Heart of the Universe, sensing it with his entire being.

Suddenly, his chest felt a piercing pain, a pain that went to the bone.

Looking down,

A sword had pierced his chest.

"Why?"

Wan Lei looked at Fang Xiaoyu in disbelief.

"Why do you all betray me?"

Sui Xiaohang, Tian Suanzi, Wan Liuchuan, the Yin Yang Sect...

And now this wife, who had accompanied him through countless storms and hardships,

All of them,

Had betrayed him.

Betrayal had become the eternal theme of Wan Lei's life.

"With your nature, if you were to become Supreme, it would inevitably lead to widespread suffering. The Lei Feng Realm is the best example."

"You... want to become Supreme, don't you? Hypocrite!"

"...Yes."

Who could resist the temptation of becoming Supreme?

Wan Lei was furious.

He engaged Fang Xiaoyu in a fierce battle.

This time... it was a real fight.

One of them had to die.

The one who died,

Was Fang Xiaoyu.

Wan Lei was also severely wounded and near death.

There was no time for grief, no time for mourning. His heart...

Had long since turned cold.

Staggering, he plunged into the Heart of the Universe.

When he awoke again, he felt that he was no longer a single person, but... the boundless universe.

He stood up and looked up. A figure with two horns on its head was looking at him.

The Demon Lord!

No words were needed.

He had been waiting for a long time.

Only one of them,

Could survive.

The victor,

Would possess everything,

And achieve the highest state.

The two of them fought wildly, killing each other.

They were both wills that surpassed the universe. As they fought, countless universes exploded.

The positive and negative planes began to merge towards the center.

Colliding.

Their forms were annihilated in the endless universe.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a year, a hundred years, ten thousand years, a hundred million years...

In the center of this now-merged universe, a figure opened its eyes.

Wan Lei stood up, looking around in a daze.

The feeling of loneliness once again surged within him.

He had achieved the status of a Supreme God.

He had also lost everything.

He was very curious about what the Demon Lord had been pursuing all along.

Reaching out, he tore open the dimensional space...
