Chapter 863 - 480: The End of the Lord of Mist

Xue Dili: "..."

This time, experiencing her life entirely from Fuge’s perspective.

Her life could be described as extremely simple, learning, and... researching Demon Element!

No romance, no grandiose waves, nor any peace and acceptance, her life completely changed from that day onward.

She once held resentment towards her father because when she was only 4 years old, he resolutely left her under the care of the United Front, himself determined to embark on that high-security secret mission.

At that time, she saw other children being picked up by their parents every day, receiving care and love, nestled in their parents’ arms, even pouting and misbehaving, trying to get what they wanted.

But she had nothing.

Once, she was bullied; a small group of other races cornered her, saying, "You’re a child nobody wants!"

She fiercely fought with those squid-faced guys; though she didn’t win, she managed to ruin a few faces.

The next day, she expected punishment, but what she got was news that those kids who cornered her were expelled.

Someone highly respected by the principal took her to his office and gently said, "Your dad hasn’t abandoned you, he’s become an agent on a very important mission, so you have to be good and not disappoint your great father!"

That day she understood, her father hadn’t abandoned her, but went on a vital mission to ensure that she would have a better future.

Therefore, during extended vacations, she had some opportunities to visit her parents and meet those uncles and aunts with her father.

Moreover, she became a star at school due to her artwork and usual performance.

As time passed by, she gradually became a "little painter."

Meanwhile, her father had to fulfill his mission, and they agreed that on the Holy Festival, her agent father would come to school and attend her excellent student speech.

However, on that day, none of them came.

All the other parents were there, but they didn’t show up.

She felt anger, sadness, pain, and ultimately received her father’s medal and the truth...

Yi Shan and Dominic’s team successfully reached Altar Star and completed the ritual; their scattered journals and the Venerable King’s amulet could prove this, but they... did not survive...

This wasn’t a road of choices—a father faced the disaster for his child and future, choosing to confront it head-on, burning hidden love and life wildly to combat the catastrophe sweeping the Cosmos, allowing the child in the rear to grow safely.

Indeed, Yi Shan and the others had no other option: complete the mission or become deserters, fleeing to the rear, awaiting the day they can no longer escape, when the entire Cosmos would be swallowed by the Great Void.

But no one from the 13th Expedition team fled.

From that day on, she completely died, leaving behind a deity maker who lived on.

A deity maker who sought to recreate the Venerable King.

This thought became the entire meaning of her existence, the pursuit of her life.

Exhausting her life, traversing the stars, and finding the original formula of the God of All Machines and the Demon Element jar, at this time, the grand deity-making movement officially began.

She researched all data regarding the birth of the Venerable King, analyzed the essence of Demon Element, and explored Subspace’s secrets.

Together with others, she established a vast organization, gathering countless followers and resources, all invested into this ultimate goal: the "God-making Plan."

By voicing "The Venerable King can only be sustained for a century and cannot trap the Great Void long-term" as a threat theory, she successfully attracted more resources and investments, more talents, more technology.

She was a genius and also a mad woman; even after the United Front dissolved, she continued to explore a dimension attached to the reality Cosmos but entirely separated.

This is Subspace, and also the area once covered by the Demon Element base where the Venerable King was born.

Perhaps the God of All Machines who calculated this formula never imagined this base would create the "Venerable King."

With deeper research into Demon Element, Fuge realized the base’s original function was to cut off the Cosmic Void.

But in the end, it became the arrival of the Venerable King.

However, the God of All Machines’ calculations weren’t mistaken; the Cosmic Void was indeed cut off, now named Subspace.

Following Subspace, Fuge found traces of the fated 13th expedition team, and collected the scattered remnants.

And alongside those remnants, the crude and naive Venerable King amulet.

She even reached the deepest part of Subspace, once called "Altar Star."

There, she didn’t find her father’s remains, only a Venerable King’s amulet and a Divine Tree.

Further ahead, only endless Subspace Barrier remained, within it lay the domain of the Venerable King and Void.

At this point, she understood.

"They didn’t die..."

"They just became part of the Venerable King..."

"If... one could create a ’New God’?"
