The Origin Universe did not have a beginning.
Nor did it have an end.
It simply… existed.
Ling Tian stood before the countless glowing paths spread across the void. Each one shimmered with different colors—some bright, some dark, some completely incomprehensible.
Every path led to a different universe.
Every universe held a fragment of his power.
"You must choose," one of the Origin Beings said, its voice echoing through existence itself.
Ling Tian didn't hesitate.
"Which path leads to the nearest fragment?"
A golden path flickered brighter than the others.
"Universe 7… the Divine Universe."
Yue Ling's voice echoed softly within him:
"That place… feels dangerous."
Ling Tian smiled faintly.
"All of them will be."
Without another word, he stepped onto the golden path.
🌌 DIVINE UNIVERSE
Light consumed everything.
Unlike the darkness of Universe 4—
This world was blinding.
Floating islands filled the sky, radiant energy flowing like rivers, and towering structures made of pure light stretched endlessly.
But something felt wrong.
"This place…" Ling Tian muttered.
Yue Ling finished his thought:
"It's too perfect."
👁️ DIVINE GUARDIANS
Suddenly—
Figures appeared.
Tall, radiant beings with glowing wings and calm expressions.
👉 Divine Guardians
"You do not belong here," one of them said.
Ling Tian stepped forward calmly.
"I'm not here to belong."
"I'm here to take back what's mine."
Their expressions didn't change.
But the air grew heavy.
"Then you must prove your worth."
⚔️ BATTLE OF DIVINITY
⚡ BOOM!
The Guardians attacked.
Their movements were flawless—
Perfect.
Ling Tian activated his Half-Origin Form.
⚡ Energy surged.
He moved—
Faster.
Sharper.
More precise.
But the Guardians adapted instantly.
"They're reading your movements," Yue Ling warned.
Ling Tian closed his eyes for a moment.
"Then I won't follow patterns."
⚡ He broke rhythm—
Attacking unpredictably.
💥 A Guardian was pushed back.
For the first time—
They reacted.
"…Adaptation confirmed."
🌟 SECOND FRAGMENT FOUND
At the center of the battlefield—
A glowing sphere appeared.
Pure light.
🌟 Light Core Fragment
Ling Tian reached for it—
⚡ The moment he touched it—
A massive surge of energy exploded.
System activated:
"Origin Core synchronization: 50%"
His aura stabilized further.
Stronger.
Calmer.
The Guardians stepped back.
"You may proceed."
Ling Tian didn't respond.
He simply turned—
And stepped back into the path.
