Chapter 299: The Crimson Mother

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Crimson Mother

The ripples from the destruction of the Abyss and the expansion of the Divine Realm had yet to subside, yet the God of Destruction was already impatient to embark upon a new conquest. He dispatched the First-Rank Gods under his command to probe even deeper into the boundless void.

Before long, news arrived.

"Dragon God, we have discovered multiple planes within the depths of the void that are similar to the Douluo Divine Realm."

The God of Destruction stood before Jiang Bai, his eyes burning with a blazing intensity.

"The scale of these Divine Realms is considerable; their strongest inhabitants are all of the God-King rank."

Jiang Bai sat upon the Dragon God’s Throne, his fingers lightly tapping against the armrest.

"God-King rank?" he repeated softly.

"Yes," the God of Destruction nodded.

"But in your presence, they are no different from mere ants. You are the Supreme God-King—the sole existence in the entire universe. If they are wise, they will surrender the cores of their Divine Realms; if they are not... then we shall raze their Divine Realms to the ground."

Jiang Bai fell silent for a moment, then rose to his feet.

"Come. Let us go take a look."

...

Within the boundless void, several Divine Realms hung like brilliant pearls, embedded against a backdrop of darkness.

The Divine Realm of the Son of Light—centered upon the Laws of Light—was a place where radiance shone universally, appearing both holy and magnificent.

Its God-King, Chang Gongwei, was clad in golden divine robes; his countenance was handsome yet commanding. However, the moment he sensed Jiang Bai’s aura, the composure on his face instantly froze.

"The... the Supreme God-King?!"

He felt an irresistible pressure—an absolute disparity in the very hierarchy of life itself.

There was no room for resistance.

The Divine Realm of the Son of Light surrendered.

The Divine Realm of the Benevolent God of Death—centered upon the Laws of Life and Death—was ruled by the God-King, Ah Dai, the God of Death, who commanded the Laws of Reincarnation.

He attempted to use the Laws of Reincarnation to counter Jiang Bai’s pressure, but in the face of the nine-colored divine radiance, the Laws of Life and Death proved as fragile as paper, shattering instantly.

The Divine Realm of the Benevolent God of Death surrendered.

The Divine Realm of the Mad God—centered upon the Laws of Combat—was ruled by the God-King, Lei Xiang, the Mad God.

He embodied a frenzied battle intent, pushing both his physical body and raw power to their absolute limits. They attempted to resist, yet in the face of the several God-Kings of the Douluo God Realm, their efforts remained utterly futile.

The God Realm of the Mad God—subdued.

The God Realm of the Sole Immortal—centered upon the laws of the Immortal Way, presided over by the God-King "Sole Immortal," whose cultivation was unfathomably deep.

Yet, he was more pragmatic than anyone else; without hesitation, he declared his willingness to merge with the Douluo God Realm.

...

One after another, God Realms submitted under the overwhelming pressure of the Douluo God Realm.

Their core essences were stripped away and fused into the central hub of the Douluo God Realm.

The Douluo God Realm began to expand at a frenzied pace; its original boundaries were pushed ever outward as new lands coalesced from the void. Immortal spiritual energy surged forth like a tidal wave, nourishing every single God within.

The sheer expanse of the God Realm swelled to many times its original size—an expansion beyond measure.

Yet, Jiang Bai felt this was still not enough.

An ordinary God Realm, when confronted by the turbulent currents of space-time, was simply not robust enough to withstand the test.

During a meeting of the God Realm Committee, Jiang Bai declared, "What I seek is not merely a God Realm, but a God Star—a true celestial body, capable of standing eternally unshaken within the cosmos."

The assembled Gods exchanged bewildered glances.

A God Star—that legendary ultimate form of a God Realm, the unfulfilled aspiration that the Dragon God had failed to realize in ages past.

It would be akin to a true celestial star—capable of standing firm and unyielding amidst the chaotic currents of space-time, capable of nurturing countless forms of life, and capable of becoming the very epicenter of the universe.

"Dragon God, the planar essence required to elevate a God Realm into a God Star is absolutely colossal."

The God of Asura spoke in a deep, grave tone.

"We have devoured the Abyss and assimilated several other God Realms, yet we remain a vast distance away from achieving the status of a God Star."

Jiang Bai nodded. "I know. That is why we require even more essence."

His gaze drifted toward the deepest reaches of the void.

"Destruction, have you ever heard of... the Crimson Mother?"

A flicker of bewilderment crossed the eyes of the God of Destruction.

"The Crimson Mother?"

"She is the universe’s scavenger—a four-dimensional energy entity possessing no fixed physical form. She utilizes the Crimson Plane as her core vessel and possesses an innate mastery over the laws of Devourment."

"She split off a portion of her power to form the Abyssal Plane—the very one we previously annihilated. It was presided over by the Abyssal Holy Monarch, whose task was to devour lower-dimensional planes to harvest energy."

"Now that the Abyssal Holy Monarch is dead, the Crimson Mother is likely lying low in the depths of the universe, repairing her losses and amassing strength. However, she has already devoured numerous small and medium-sized planes; her power has reached the level of a ’Half-Step God-King,’ and she commands over a dozen Divine Artifacts."

Jiang Bai looked at Destruction and remarked, "That is one massive prize."

The God of Destruction’s eyes lit up.

"Devour the Source of her Plane."

The God of Destruction licked his lips. "That would be enough to elevate our Divine Realm to the next level."

"So," Jiang Bai looked at him, "find her."

...

One day in the Divine Realm equals one year in the Lower Realm.

While organizing the Gods to search for traces of the Crimson Mother, Jiang Bai would occasionally descend to the Lower Realm—specifically to the Douluo Continent—to personally guide Jiang Li’er and Ye Lingling through their Divine Trials.

Three days later, by the Divine Realm’s reckoning...

Jiang Li’er and Ye Lingling ascended to the Divine Realm.

Two brilliant pillars of light erupted from the Ascension Platform: one a deep violet, the other a vibrant emerald.

The light pillars soared straight into the heavens, piercing through the very barriers of the plane.

Jiang Bai personally arrived at the Ascension Platform to welcome them.

Jiang Li’er threw herself into his arms, while Ye Lingling stood to the side, her eyes brimming with tender affection.

"Alright now—you are both God-Kings; mind your image a little."

Jiang Bai smiled as he gently patted Jiang Li’er on the back.

Jiang Li’er released her embrace, planted her hands on her hips, and tilted her chin upward.

"So what if I’m a God-King? Does being a God-King mean I’m not allowed to give you a hug?"

Jiang Bai chuckled softly, offering no rebuttal.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life also arrived at the Ascension Platform.

The God of Destruction gazed at Jiang Li’er, his eyes filled with satisfaction. His successor had not disappointed him.

"Li’er, from this day forward, the Divine Realm is in your hands," the God of Destruction said solemnly, placing a hand on Jiang Li’er’s shoulder.

Jiang Li’er blinked in surprise. "In my hands? Where are you going?" "

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life exchanged glances, then smiled in unison.

"We are going to reincarnate."

"Reincarnate?" Jiang Li’er was stunned.

The Goddess of Life gently took her hand and said in a gentle voice, "Li’er, Little Zi and I have waited a very long time for this day. We want to have a child, but our fundamental essences clash; in our current state, it is simply impossible. Therefore, we must reincarnate and be reborn in a world devoid of divine power, so that we may start anew."

"Then... will you come back?"

The Goddess of Life smiled faintly, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

"We will. Once our cultivation bears fruit, we will return to the Divine Realm. When that time comes, you must be sure to save a spot for us!"

Jiang Li’er nodded vigorously. "I certainly will!"

The figures of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life gradually transformed into two streaks of flowing light; they pierced through the barriers of the Divine Realm and vanished into the boundless void.

They had departed for a distant plane of existence.

There, they would begin their lives anew.

Standing upon the Ascension Platform, Jiang Bai gazed at the two vanishing streaks of light and remained silent for a moment.

"Good luck to you both," he murmured softly.

...

Although the God of Destruction had made his exit, before he left, he had managed to pinpoint the whereabouts of the Crimson Mother.

The Crimson Domain—located in the deepest reaches of the void—was enshrouded by layer upon layer of chaotic spatial and temporal currents.

It was the Crimson Mother’s lair: a plane of existence forged entirely from the pure Laws of Devourment.

Jiang Bai stood within the Dragon God’s Temple, a celestial map of the void hovering before him.

On the map, a blood-red speck of light pulsed slowly—marking the precise location of the Crimson Mother.
