Tang San's firm yet expectant expression made the Lord of Eternity realize that humans truly are a multifaceted species.
Once upon a time... or rather, in a previous life, the Lord of Eternity had also been human. Yet, even with all those memories, it seemed they had never fully grasped the true diversity of humanity.
Choosing Tang San—
Indeed.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not sacrificing myself."
"Oh, really?" Tang San's face showed disappointment.
Why are you disappointed?!
The Lord of Eternity took a deep breath, the starlight around their body flickering before they finally calmed down. "After you refine the Godking's Throne of Eternity and Creation, I will suppress its power temporarily. Once you obtain your eighth soul ring, it will merge with your Blue Silver Emperor, becoming your ninth soul ring."
Tang San wasn't too surprised by the idea of the Throne of Eternity and Creation turning into a soul ring. After all, it was a supreme artifact. It wasn't too far-fetched for it to have versatile abilities.
But why turn into a soul ring?
"Naturally, it's to fuse with your martial soul completely," the Lord of Eternity explained. "The six eternal stars created by the Sword of Eternity have already merged with your Blue Silver Emperor. The main body of the Throne of Eternity and Creation needs to do the same. Once fully integrated, it will belong to you forever, and its soul ring can be used in any dimension, even with the rules of Douluo Continent."
"Just as you said, we don't understand the technicalities, but we can use them."
"The Throne of Eternity and Creation is a treasure born from the universe itself. It's part of the cosmic laws, transcending all other rules."
Tang San nodded thoughtfully, suddenly understanding. "So, when you mentioned following me earlier, you meant offering yourself to me, along with the Throne of Eternity and Creation."
"After all, I'm now the Throne's spirit," the Lord of Eternity replied shamelessly. "According to the rules of Douluo Continent, any non-human extraordinary being can be classified as a spirit beast. After death, they can drop a soul ring. By temporarily suppressing the Throne's rules, I can adapt it to the laws of this world, transforming it into a soul ring that will merge seamlessly with your Blue Silver Emperor. It's no trouble at all."
"When the time comes, the aura of the Throne of Eternity and Creation will be completely concealed. Even the deities from the Divine Realm will only think you're mimicking it."
"After all, you've always had control over the power of creation, and during your battle with Xu Huang, who controlled the throne, the deities witnessed it themselves. They won't give a prodigious future colleague too much trouble."
Tang San sat on the Throne of Eternity and Creation. Around the Blue Silver Emperor's pearl, the six eternal stars appeared, sinking into the throne's backrest.
In an instant, the ancient throne burst into a radiant, holy light, revealing its true form.
The previously dark surface turned into a jade-like, luminous white, surrounded by resplendent, nine-colored rays of light. Though brilliant, the light was not chaotic. Behind the throne, halos of light began to form, interwoven in harmony.
On the backrest, there were intricate carvings: at the top, sun, moon, and stars; in the middle, birds and beasts; and at the base, scenes of nature. The exquisite details conveyed a sense of unparalleled beauty and balance.
The armrests of the throne were adorned with statues—a sacred dragon on one side and a twelve-winged angel on the other.
As for King Easton...
He was nowhere to be found.
King Easton: "....Am I not worthy?"
However, after Tang San fully gained control over the Throne of Eternity and Creation, the statues of the Sacred Dragon and the Eternal Angel slowly dissipated into nothingness.
The Lord of Eternity spoke, "The powers of nature, life, and the stars are the core divine forces of the Throne of Eternity and Creation. Now that you are its master, these three divine positions belong to you as well. You may bestow them upon your followers."
Tang San furrowed his brow and asked, "What will happen to them?"
"They were followers of the God of Creation. Without their divine positions, they will no longer be immortal," the Lord of Eternity sighed, though there was no regret in their voice. Perhaps it was because, despite having the Creator God's memories, the Lord of Eternity was not the same being and held no deep attachment to them. "However, since they've already reached god-level, with some effort, they might be able to forge divine positions of their own in the future…"
Despite saying this, the Lord of Eternity had little hope for the three. After all, if they could create their own divine positions, they wouldn't have remained in the Eternal Domain, stagnating for so long.
"I see. Well, gods do live a long time," Tang San nodded slightly. After all, those three would still reside in the Eternal Domain. While the energy here wasn't as rich as the divine aura of the God Realm, it was still more than enough for them to live eternally.
Once Tang San completely refined the Throne of Eternity and Creation, the thirteen eternal stars radiated a dazzling light, hovering around the pearl atop his Blue Silver Emperor. Like petals surrounding a bloom, the stars encircled the pearl in a reverent display.
Thirteen streams of energy shot out, forming a colossal ring over a kilometer wide. The ring resembled a flowing galaxy, gathering into a circle and merging with the Blue Silver Emperor.
The immense power surged forth, causing Tang San's first seven soul rings to appear, each one evolving rapidly until they all reached the million-year level!
At the same time, Wu Lin, Wu Tong, Ling Yun, A Lan, as well as the Extreme TIanmeng, Extreme Ice Tianemng, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, all experienced a surge in their cultivation, elevating them to god-level status.
Tang San could even sense that this brilliant, starry soul ring wasn't yet fully formed, still in a somewhat illusory state.
It was evident that the Lord of Eternity had suppressed its energy, preventing it from being fully absorbed by Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor. He would have to acquire his eighth soul ring first.
In truth, with the Lord of Eternity's abilities, it wouldn't have been difficult to create a soul ring. But considering Tang San's personal approach, they refrained from preparing it for him.
"It seems the fusion was successful. Your Blue Silver Emperor, rich in life force, can draw from the power of the earth, the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Its attributes are a perfect match with the Throne of Eternity and Creation. Even without the throne, in the distant future, it could still become a supreme artifact," the Lord of Eternity remarked, "Perhaps following you was the wisest choice."
At this moment, Tang San had already felt the immense power boost from the soul ring of Eternity and Creation. Unable to suppress the joy rising in his heart, he maintained a calm facade and responded seriously to the Lord of Eternity, "The right choice? That's uncertain. Until the very end, who can say they've made the right choice?"
