Cross was falling in the pitch black Abyss, he was constantly circulating the 'Great Way of the Buddha' the Abyss was constantly destroying his body, but Cross was gritting his teeth and keeping up with it.
He studied the abyss around him, this was pure nothingness energy. Nothingness in it's primordial state. His eyes glowed brighter and brighter before he started laughing "Of course! Hahaha! I'm so stupid!" His body was enveloped by a whirlpool and the Nothingness was welcomed instead of rejected.
The diagram on his back started getting brighter and brighter as he continued to fall, his body getting more and more destroyed as he fell but he circulated the 'Great Way of the Buddha' furiously. He was clearly overloading it but he didn't care.
Time slowly trickled away
1 and a half years passed
Cross finally slammed into hard ground, but it didn't hurt at all! He had reached the 10th Level of the 'Great Way of the Buddha'! Not only that... Cross stood up and lifted his palm, a Vanta Black swirl appeared over his palm. He laughed like a maniac and his cultivation exploded to the Divine Sovereign Peak.
He looked around in the small cave room. There was no exits, no entrances, only a floating white crystal and a dim sword. Cross walked over to the sword and heard Aurora speak "Master! I can feel it! That sword it's like Aurora!" Cross touched the sword and said "This is the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword?" Aurora jumped for joy and Cross smiled before forging it into the Prayer Beads.
Aurora 'gobbled' it up and upgraded herself as well as the 'Sister' beads. The Necklace looked the same but Aurora said confidently "I'm much stronger now Master! Now I can do sword attacks!" Cross had the vague feeling she was patting her chest when she said that.
Aurora explained "Well, my power went to you! So you can cut whatever you want with your palms master! Just like a sword! Also! Since the Baddie Wheel and the Goodie Sword were opposites but Aurora ate them, the cultivation speed increased by 10 times! Yin-Yang fusion!"
Cross rubbed the beads and said "Good girl!" Aurora giggled and enjoyed his touches.
He walked to the floating white crystal and wondered what it was, he touched it and suddenly the crystal shot into his abdomen. Cross roared to the sky as the Castle inside his body 'ate' the crystal.
A strange Phenomenon occurred.
The Entire God Realm of Absolute Beginning started to shrink!
Cross was standing in the cave as everything around him was sinking into his body, his cultivation increased and by the time the entire God Realm of Absolute Beginning was sucked into his inner world, he was something completely new! His Profound Veins shattered and entered all his acupoints! 108,00 of them!
His entire being of existence changed! His body was transformed from in the inside out once again! All his energy melted down and went into his acupoints! The 'Great Way of the Buddha' condensed the last 2 levels and sank into his body before the Pagoda cracks and scattered inside him! The Pagoda pieces went into all his acupoints and colored them in gold before turning red.
The Void beast on his back roared and the red color turned to black and his body shined! One by one, the Divine Beasts on his back were devoured by the Void Beast! The wings shot into the Void Beast and it's whole body shone, going through a qualitative change!
Cross slammed his fists out and roared along with the Void beast!
Everywhere in the God Realm, his roar was heard!
The Void beast on his back shined before dimming and looking completely different! It had three pairs of wings, Gold, White, and half-Red Half-Blue! It's paws became Tiger paws! It gained a black shell on it's back! And it had long dragon horns on it's head!
Cross opened his eyes and floated in space, his eyes turned into black whirlpools before the black whirlpools shrank and became his pupils. Around his black pupils, a bright red colored appeared, spinning in the opposite direction and getting bigger until the red light became his Irises!
The ring on his back spun at a slow rate but it was noticeably faster than before, while his tattoos didn't change, they just became Vanta Black in color.
Cross was completely reborn! He had attained a special constitution! Normally, if someone were to reach the 12th level of the 'Great Way of the Buddha' they would get the 'Body of Saints' that the Rage God had, but because of Cross' special situation and the interference from the Void Beast, his body had changed to the 'Body of the Void'.
It was nothing special but Cross could feel that he was nowhere near finished with this body. He moved his body and crackling thunder noises sounded from it. He felt amazing! Almost invincible! He didn't know whether the so-called 'Envoys of the Great Brahma Sovereign' were strong, but he knew that he could for sure fight them.
He looked in a specific direction and narrowed his eyes. His hair was a neat mess and wavy, barely reaching his shoulders. He was, as usual, only wearing shorts and Prayer Beads. His understanding of the 'Void Step' had reached a new peak! He could now perform the 6th step perfectly with absolute mastery!
The increase in distance with each step after the 5th was a 10x multiplier! The 6th step was 10 million miles, the 7th was 100 million, the 8th was 1 billion, and the 9th was 10 billion! 10 Billion miles! What kind of concept was that! He could cross the Entire God Realm with a single step!
Basically, if he reached that step, he would be the absolute fastest person in the history of ever! Oh? You're stronger than me? Haha, can you catch me? Kachow! See ya~! Maybe the pursuer would be so angry that they would cough up blood and die.
Cross mumbled "It's been 5 years since then... It's time." he stepped and disappeared, leaving a crack in the air itself!
Not even a day later
Cross appeared outside a barrier surrounding the entire Star God Realm. He sneered and pressed his hand on the barrier, a black whirlpool appeared and the entire barrier popped like a bubble. He continued to the Palace before witnessing Jasmine and Caizhi along with a cute little baby with red hair and red eyes in a formation circle.
Cross had a gentle smile on his face, looking at his daughter. He looked at the formation circle and frowned, this was a sacrificial circle! the Star God Emperor looked over at the intruder and jumped as he said "I thought you were dead!"
Jasmine looked over and saw Cross, she was also surprised! Cross sneered and said "Trying to kill my wife and daughter... Hehe. You must be tired of living, eh?" he looked at Moonflower and said "You've survived long enough." before pointing at her, her entire body exploded into a blood mist.
Cross looked at his father-in-law and smiled "You want to become a True God like this? A bit too naïve." he chuckled and added "Even if it worked..." he heavily sneered "Are you worthy to become one?"
Xing Juekong shouted angrily "Kill him! Whether or not I have the rights to become a True God isn't decided by you, brat!" Cross clicked his tongue and said "Actually, father-in-law, it sort of does! You see..." he snapped his fingers and a black hole appeared in the room, sucking in all the elders and people, twisting them up and slaughtering them as he finished "I am a True God."
Xing Juekong's eyes widened and he shouted frantically "Attack! Attack! Kill him!" Cross ignored them and slowly walked to the barrier, the black hole following him and killing anyone who was unfortunate enough to come near.
He squatted in front of the barrier and pressed on it, popping it like a bubble, before caressing Jasmine's tear filled face as he said "Did you miss me?" Jasmine nodded and the 2 year old sniffed at Cross saying "Mommy! Who dis??"
Jasmine cried happily saying "Daddy, baby. It's daddy!" finally feeling relieved after 2 years of worry! He was safe! And Invincible! Cross looked at Caizhi and grinned saying "Hello, Sister-in-law. Believe it or not, your sister never even spoke your name to me."
Caizhi crossed her arms and pouted at Jasmine, who smiled cheekily. The kid was still processing all this and Cross took her saying "What's your name?" the little girl snorted saying "Lily! Who are you? Big baddie!" Cross coughed and said "Who's a big baddie? I'm your dad! Silly girl!" Lily waved her fist saying "You're silly! You're whole family is silly!"
Cross poked her nose and said "You're my family, so you're silly too!" Lily was stumped and cursed "Damn!" Cross laughed and said to Jasmine "Your father... Kill him? Do you mind?" Jasmine made a funny face and said "Are you asking my permission to kill my father? Does that not sound weird to you?"
Cross shrugged and said "Meh. I was going to destroy the entire Realm." Jasmine hummed and said "Alright." Cross smiled and held Lily in his arms as he said "Lily say goodbye to grandpa!" Lily waved at Juekong saying "Bye-Bye!" Cross smiled and waved his hand, Juekong turned into red bubbles before popping out of existence.
Lily clapped and said "Pretty!" Cross smiled happily and Jasmine stood up saying "What are you going to do now?" Cross smiled and said "Isn't it obvious? Slaughter in all directions." he grinned and said "I have a huge surprise for you by the way..."
Jasmine raised a brow and Cross gulped as he said "You know... When you were on the ground before, I didn't notice but... You got much sexier after giving birth." he squeezed her plump breasts as he added in admiration "En! I was right! They got bigger!" Jasmine covered her chest and her entire face turned bright red.
Caizhi pointed at Cross in shock saying "You! You're a regular pervert!" Cross scoffed "I am no such thing! What are you talking about?" though he said that, he was hungrily looking at Jasmine up and down.
Jasmine started to feel hot, Caizhi beat on Cross' shoulders with her fists saying "Big pervert! You're a giant Pervert!" Cross chuckled and hugged Caizhi with one arm, picking her up like a pig as he said to Jasmine "You'll never believe what happened to me."
Lily mumbled "Little aunty said Daddy was a pervert... Who to believe?" this was a big decision in her little life! Was her daddy a pervert? She didn't even know what it meant but she was sure it wasn't good things.
Jasmine said "What could be so surprising?" Cross smiled and said "The God Realm of Absolute Beginning disappeared!" Jasmine was stunned and said "Eh?" Cross chuckled and tapped on his abdomen with a smug look.
Jasmine's eyes widened and she shouted "WHAT!?" Cross chuckled and said "I haven't checked yet, but the entire Realm was absorbed. Also, I finished the 'Great Way of the Buddha' also..." he turned around and showed her the diagram, Jasmine looked at the Void Beast and said "It ate the rest?"
Cross nodded and said "Though, it doesn't really matter." he hummed the sad song and a bright White-Gold lotus appeared, swaying to the rhythm of Cross' humming. 3 pairs of different colored wings unfurled on his back, and a half crown of golden light appeared around the right side of his head.
Jasmine was entranced as she said "Wow... so handsome..." Cross pursed his lips and smiled as he said "Little wife, what are you in a daze for?" Jasmine blinked and blushed, looking away and not daring to look back, as if she was shy.
Cross shook his head and said "Anyway, go into the castle with Caizhi and don't leave! Let's explore together after I find those two other girls and all those little bastard animals!" Jasmine giggled and nodded saying "I'll go pack my stuff." grabbing Caizhi and running away withy rosy cheeks.
Cross reverted back to normal and looked at his daughter, who was looking at him seriously. He was amused and said "What's up, kiddo?" Lily nodded and said seriously "You're a pervert."
