As a last resort, the First Firmament withdrew the Dark Celestials pursuing Lucas, ordering them to go to various parts of the Universe to clear out these things that were wreaking havoc in his Universe.
However, as a singular Universe that had been self-contained for a long time, the First Firmament did not age, did not weaken and was more powerful than Eternity.
But the number of Dark Celestials within the First Firmament's Universe could not compare to the productivity of countless civilizations within Eternity's Universe.
Even if the Dark Celestials came out in full force, facing the various weapons constantly being scattered from Eternity's Universe and thrown throughout the First Firmament's Universe, they were simply overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the First Firmament quickly discovered the source of these weapons.
He quickly reacted, sealing off the spacetime around the matter and energy being scattered from Eternity's Universe, encapsulating all these specks of starlight.
Nevertheless, the first batch of weapons had already spread throughout the First Firmament's Universe, and even without subsequent supplies, the First Firmament could not completely clear them in a short time. In fact, the First Firmament might not be able to clear them at all.
Gradually, Lucas was shocked by the scene he saw in the First Firmament's Universe.
Compared to Eternity's Universe, various dangerous weapons were too rampant in the First Firmament's Universe.
Ubiquitous two-dimensional foils, giant black holes that devoured everything, and zero-light-speed regions.
"No wonder there are no civilizations in the First Firmament's Universe. This is not a world where ordinary civilizations can survive."
"Wait, if there are no civilizations, where did these technological weapons come from?"
Lucas frowned, noticing the blind spot, but he didn't think that these weapons came from Eternity's Universe.
He had encountered these weapons shortly after entering the First Firmament's Universe, only assuming they were a specialty of the First Firmament's Universe.
If Lucas was shocked by the proliferation of these dangerous weapons, then the First Firmament was enraged.
And fear, deeply hidden within his anger.
The First Firmament couldn't help but recall the Celestial War.
Initially, he found it amusing to watch his two creations wage war due to conflicting ideologies.
Whether it was the Dark Celestials who pleased the First Firmament or the Celestials whom the First Firmament disliked, in the First Firmament's eyes, they were nothing more than toys. Their life-and-death war was nothing more than a spectacle in the First Firmament's eyes, like two enslaved gladiators fighting in an ancient Roman arena.
But it was this playful skirmish between two toys that ultimately severely wounded the First Firmament, almost blowing him apart.
Similarly, Eternity's unintentional counterattack now saw its threat level skyrocket in the First Firmament's eyes.
The First Firmament began to fear, fearing that these various weapons rampaging within his body would ultimately kill him.
Fear drove the First Firmament to anger, anger at Eternity's defiance against him.
"I just want to get my things back and become whole again! What did I do wrong! Why do you all have to stop me!"
A roar echoed beyond all things, echoing through the First Firmament's Universe and Eternity's Universe.
What followed were two cries of immense pain.
The First Firmament suddenly exerted force with both claws simultaneously, tearing another large hole in Eternity and his chest. And this was only the beginning.
The utterly insane First Firmament wailed while frantically tearing at Eternity and himself.
Cracks rapidly appeared on Eternity's surface and gradually spread throughout his body. From a distance, Eternity now resembled a porcelain vessel covered in cracks, on the verge of shattering.
The First Firmament was no better. A large hole was torn in his chest, and every single second, countless matter and energy flowed out like blood, scattering beyond all things.
In this way, even if the First Firmament ultimately succeeded in devouring Eternity, he would not achieve the wholeness he desired.
Because he also lost a lot in this war.
Beyond reality, wherever all possibilities existed, the Queen of Nevers watched this scene with a heavy heart, and she quickly relayed the situation to the embodied forms of the past Cosmos.
"Second Cosmos, Third Cosmos, Fifth Cosmos, Sixth Cosmos, Infinity, how much longer until you can cross infinite space and enter? The First Firmament has gone mad, he is currently attacking Eternity frantically, even harming himself."
"We're almost there!" The Second Cosmos (Creator) looked solemn.
A clone he had left in Eternity's Universe had also detected the anomaly, the First Firmament's reaction was too violent.
Although the Creator intended to use the First Firmament to severely wound Eternity, causing Eternity to enter reincarnation and rebirth prematurely, judging by the First Firmament's current stance, he feared that Eternity would not be severely wounded, but completely torn apart and devoured by the First Firmament.
This was not what the Creator wanted to see.
When the nest falls, no egg remains unbroken.
If Eternity were killed by the First Firmament, the Elder Gods, the continuation of the Second Cosmos, painstakingly supported by the Creator, would also perish with Eternity's death.
Thinking of this, the Creator's clone in Eternity's Universe began to act. He first contacted Eternity. "Eternity, grant me control of the World Tree."
Eternity said nothing, only silently transferred the World Tree's authority.
The World Tree, a wonder spanning half of the Marvel world, had stopped growing in recent years.
No other reason: the five embodied forms of the past Cosmos, returning from the other shore, could not bring back energy and needed to borrow other energy to fight. Therefore, all the energy accumulated by the World Tree in recent years was used to supply these five embodied forms of the past Cosmos.
This energy was evenly divided into five parts, each 20%, which happened to be the share the Creator promised Lucas.
Normally, the task of providing support should have been handled by Infinity, who controlled space, as she could effectively prevent the First Firmament from escaping.
However, because the Creator secretly diverted energy meant for fighting the First Firmament, when the other four embodied forms of the past Cosmos attacked the First Firmament, he could only reduce his participation under the guise of providing support.
This also led to a "flaw" in coordination, giving the First Firmament and Eternity time and space to fight alone.
And now, the Creator had to fix this "flaw."
A flash of starlight, and the Creator's clone within Eternity's Universe disappeared, merging into the World Tree.
As if summoned by some mysterious force, the World Tree, which had stopped growing, erupted and began to grow rapidly again at an astonishing speed.
The World Tree's roots spread and extended, deeply embedding themselves in reality, greedily absorbing matter and energy from reality, and continuously transporting it through complex conduits to all parts of the World Tree.
The World Tree's trunk visibly grew thicker, and its branches also spread rapidly, with fresh leaves sprouting on them.
In just a moment, the World Tree, which had previously only spanned half of Eternity's Universe, grew a full circle, almost covering every corner of Eternity's Universe.
The World Tree's root system was tightly connected and deeply intertwined with Eternity's Universe, like Eternity's sinews, while the main trunk was like Eternity's bones.
