The Eternal Angel didn't want to believe Tang San's speculations, but his logic did seem to make sense. After all, once the Throne of Eternity and Creation resolves the issues of a realm, it departs. Even if the Eternal Lord wanted to linger longer, the Cosmic Will would "urge" him to leave.
What's more significant is that, after reaching the level of a Creator God, the Eternal Lord originally had no desire to truly create a world, nor did he want to break himself apart and evolve into other deities.
But could it be that gods are unnecessary?
The Eternal Angel was startled by her own thought, but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, we may think differently, but how will you ensure that your will remains eternal in the future?"
"By constantly improving," Tang San replied. Willpower cannot be eternal because it grows weary of seeing everything throughout the ages. But as long as everything continues to develop and progress, wouldn't that solve the problem? Every moment would bring new things to witness, new inspirations to gain. Isn't that the best thing?
Just like how he researched the True Creation and Destruction Canon, Divine Jade-Bone Constitution, Cosmic Meditation Technique, and Windsoar Art based on Mysterious Heaven Technique, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. And that's not even the full extent of it. As his cultivation advanced and his knowledge expanded, he continuously refined these techniques—there was never a point of perfection.
Relying on faith to maintain the eternity of will is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst—it's not a viable path.
Only by continuously moving forward can one find the true way.
Moreover, as the old saying goes: "Fall behind, and you'll be beaten!"
The Eternal Domain had fallen behind other realms by several levels. It exists only within the Throne of Eternity and Creation, tucked away in a remote corner, hidden from most. If someone were to find a way into this place, the beings here wouldn't have much power to resist.
After all, this so-called eternity, in a sense, is like a "closed-off nation" that stifles interaction with the outside world. What's worse is that the three guardians of the Eternal Domain only see the inhabitants as livestock, mere sources of faith.
Tang San believed that, during his time in the Easton Forest and Divine Dragon Island, he had refrained from directly pointing out the true nature of these three guardians. He had even softened his words to save face, giving them far more respect than they deserved.
After all, as someone who had yet to take control of the Throne of Eternity and Creation, he was still an outsider. It was only right to show the "hosts" some courtesy.
"I am the universe itself; I can be eternal," Tang San realized that explaining further to the Eternal Angel was futile. She wouldn't easily change her views unless he became the master of the Eternal Domain. So, he said no more and uttered this seemingly pretentious line.
To the unworldly Eternal Angel, however, this statement conveyed Tang San's true intentions.
If a god cannot be eternal, then become something beyond—a different kind of universe!
Furthermore, Tang San was indeed walking down such a path... No wonder he had been able to defeat the previous wielder of the Throne of Eternity and Creation. His ambition was awe-inspiring!
Even the Eternal Lord couldn't help but feel inferior.
*[Bring him here.]*
Just as the Eternal Angel was about to delve deeper into the topic of faith, the majestic voice of the Eternal Lord echoed in her mind.
"Yes, great Eternal Lord!" A trace of reverence flashed across the Eternal Angel's face as she slowly rose from her seat. Turning to Tang San, she said, "Come with me. The Eternal Lord wishes to see you. You must complete all the trials. If you can defeat Him, then you will become the true master of this Eternal Domain and the Throne of Eternity and Creation!"
However, hearing those words, Tang San didn't appear particularly excited. He only nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm and indifferent, showing no hint of enthusiasm.
Noticing this, the Eternal Angel asked, puzzled, "Are you not interested in the Throne of Eternity and Creation?"
"I've already gained a lot," Tang San replied in a calm voice. "If I get it, it's my fortune; if I don't, it's fate. Besides, the essence of the Throne of Eternity and Creation lies in this Eternal Domain, right? In the distant future, I could cultivate my Blue Silver Emperor into something that surpasses this supreme artifact."
The Eternal Angel sighed, knowing that what Tang San said was not an exaggeration. "Perhaps, you really will surpass even the Creator Gods."
Leaving the small room, the Eternal Angel raised her arms high. A formation appeared beneath Tang San and herself, wrapping them in a beam of light that shot straight up into the sky.
"Wait! We haven't gone up yet!"
"Wait!"
Mengmeng gave chase, but no matter how fast she flew, she couldn't match the speed of the teleportation beam. In the blink of an eye, Tang San and the Eternal Angel had disappeared.
"The final place of inheritance isn't somewhere the two of us can reach," Nian Nian said, her twelve delicate wings fluttering as she landed next to Mengmeng. "We'll just wait down here."
The core region of the Eternal Domain was filled with chaotic hues, teeming with the breath of natural life, the aura of all living things, and the brilliance of the stars. These elements fused together, forming a unique power devoid of any specific attributes—a force seemingly capable of encompassing and creating all things.
This must be the legendary chaos energy.
Yet, whether it truly had the power to create everything... Tang San remained skeptical.
At the center of this space was a circular platform over a thousand meters in diameter, quietly floating in the midst of the void. A chair, identical in style to the Throne of Eternity and Creation, stood at the very center of the platform. Seated there was a figure whose entire body seemed to be made of a glass-like material.
To Tang San, it resembled the cosmic humanoid beings he had seen in the sci-fi movies of his past life.
For instance, in the Marvel Universe, there was the god who claimed dominion over the multiverse—Eternity.
The appearance of the Eternal Lord before him was similar, though with a female form. Ignoring the peculiar skin tone, this Eternal Lord was undoubtedly an extraordinarily beautiful woman.
Beside her stood two other figures.
One appeared short, no more than 1.6 meters tall, but his body was powerfully built, holding a hammer in one hand and a battle axe in the other. This was the King of Easton.
Tang San figured this guy must be from the dwarf race.
On the other side was a massive dragon over 30 meters long, without wings. It wasn't a serpentine divine dragon, but resembled more of a four-legged terrestrial dragon.
With the Eternal Angel now present as well, the three great guardians of the Eternal Domain were all gathered.
The Eternal Lord slowly rose from her throne, and it felt as though the entire universe was lifting with her, giving off an ethereal sensation that was difficult to describe.
Yet for Tang San, whose body was also a nascent universe, he was immune to this unique aura.
That was why, when the Eternal Angel had descended upon Sky City, others had gazed at her with reverence, but Tang San had joked about her lack of clothing.
The Eternal Lord gracefully approached Tang San and said, "Welcome, Tang San of Douluo Continent. Do you have the confidence to defeat me?"
