445: Erasing all cause and effect

However, at this moment, the sea of the Universe's Origin was being forcibly extracted and stolen so violently and on such a massive scale; this act of rebellion, which directly shook the Foundation of the Universe and threatened the stability of all Laws and existence, finally triggered the most core taboo of all Avatars of a Supreme God!

The instant the twenty-six Avatars of a Supreme God descended, the entire Blood War Plane - District 73, no, the tens of thousands of related planes surrounding it, time, space, Laws... everything, as if frozen in place!

The originally violent energy turbulence instantly calmed, the wailing earth ceased its trembling, and even the expressions of terror on the faces of the surviving Demon Race froze in place.

Only that rift piercing through dimensions, the waterfall of seven-colored Origin pouring down from it, and at the end of the waterfall, that Chaos nebula which was frantically devouring and whose aura was surging at an unbelievable speed, remained in "motion."

But this "motion," set against the backdrop of the twenty-six Avatars of a Supreme God, appeared so "glaring," so "blasphemous"!

"Human Race, Lu Jiuyuan."

An Avatar of a Supreme God composed of pure Holy Light, with a blurred face, spoke first; its voice was like the simultaneous prayers of billions of believers, grand and cold, devoid of the slightest emotion:

"Your actions have touched upon the 'Primordial Prohibition'."

"Stealing the Origin of the Universe, shaking the Foundation of the myriad worlds; your crime warrants annihilation."

"Judgment," another dark Avatar of a Supreme God said concisely, its two deep gazes locking onto Lu Jiuyuan.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Execute."

A series of cold wills of the Supreme Gods resonated, instantly completing the "trial" of Lu Jiuyuan.

There was no defense, no interrogation, because in the eyes of the Supreme Gods, the facts were irrefutable, and his actions had already threatened the "stability" of the Universe and their "authority."

The next moment, the twenty-six Avatars of a Supreme God simultaneously... moved!

They each merely raised a "hand" and gently pointed toward the position where Lu Jiuyuan was located.

Twenty-six beams of "Light," differing in color and form but all containing a certain fundamental Law of the Universe, shot out from their fingertips.

These "Lights" appeared slow, but in reality, they instantly crossed all distances and dimensions, ignoring the Chaos nebula evolving around Lu Jiuyuan and the violently devouring seven-colored waterfall, acting directly upon the essence of his existence!

One "Light" represented the absolute decomposition and annihilation of "matter."

One "Light" represented the eternal silence and freezing of "energy."

One "Light" represented the total collapse and zeroing of "space."

One "Light" represented the forced stripping and erasure of the concept of "life."

One "Light" represented the thorough purification and void of the "Soul."

One "Light" represented the forced severing and backlash of "Karma."

One "Light" represented the forced fixation and burial of "fate"...

The twenty-six beams of Supreme God Law Light covered almost all fundamental and high-level concepts that constitute this Universe and the existence of any living being!

This was an erasure at the level of Laws!

It was the deletion of the concept of existence!

This was a joint enforcement of the highest authority in the Universe, which only the Supreme Equilibrium Law could confront head-on!

Its goal was not merely to kill Lu Jiuyuan, but to completely, cleanly, and permanently... erase all traces of his past, present, and future; his body, Soul, and will, from this Universe!

Facing these twenty-six beams of Supreme God Law erasure, which were enough to cause any monarch, or even an ordinary Supreme, to instantly fall and be destroyed beyond redemption.

Wherever the light passed, there was no sound, no visual effects.

But all living beings capable of perceiving this scene "saw" a sight that froze their Souls:

The Chaos nebula where Lu Jiuyuan was located, the magnificent scene of it frantically devouring the seven-colored Origin waterfall, began to "fade," began to become "transparent," and began to fall from "existence" toward "non-existence."

The first to disappear was color.

The variegation of the Chaos nebula, the seven colors of the Origin waterfall, and even the basic tones of the surrounding space, all rapidly faded, turning into a monotonous gray and white.

Next was form.

The rotation of the nebula, the flow of the waterfall, and the vaguely visible outline of Lu Jiuyuan all began to blur and dissipate, like pencil marks erased by an eraser.

Then came "concepts."

The memories, Karma, and threads of fate carried by the name "Lu Jiuyuan";

The spatial coordinates of this region and the markers of the passage of time;

The "possibilities" belonging to those devoured Origins and the inner world being opened up,

His existence in the memories of all living beings, including the memories of the three Supremes of the Human Race. Including the memories of the Dark Monarch.

All began to be forcibly stripped and deleted from the "records" of the Universe by an invisible and absolute force.

Erasure.

Thorough, complete erasure.

Not just killing Lu Jiuyuan at this point in time, but to return all traces since his birth, all the ripples of Karma he had caused, all the infinite variables he might derive in the future, and even all memories and perceptions other living beings had of him... all to the void.

Letting him have never existed.

This was the consequence of touching the "Primordial Prohibition" and stealing the Origin of the Universe.

Under the joint will of the Supreme Gods, even a Supreme God of the same level would be erased, leaving only the divine spark that serves as the Foundation of the Universe.

However, just as these twenty-six beams of Law erasure light were about to completely finish clearing the concept of "Lu Jiuyuan," they discovered two lines of Karma leading directly outside the great Universe.

These two lines were incomparably tough; one was a golden thread seemingly condensed from the purest "affinity" and "Karma," and one was a Supreme and noble white thread.

These two threads pierced through Lu Jiuyuan's current body, pierced through the space-time being erased, pierced through this planar battlefield, and even pierced through the crystal wall of this Universe, extending toward an infinitely high place, an unknowable land!

It connected to Lu Jiuyuan's true Origin; the golden thread connected to a brilliant Great Buddha, who was the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha.

The white thread connected to the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, the High God of the Mysterious Vault!

The Supreme Gods' erasure was performed by following the causal Foundation of "existence" back to the Origin.

Lu Jiuyuan's "existence" in this Universe, its initial "cause," originated precisely from the will and means of the Great Heavenly Venerate!

Consequently, the twenty-six combined, Supreme God-erasing forces of Law, the moment they touched these two golden threads of Karma, followed their own "logic of erasure" and naturally... traced back along these lines!

What they were trying to erase was "all the Karma of Lu Jiuyuan's existence."

Then, the starting point of this Karma, the source that bestowed this Karma upon him, was also included in the erasure!

"Boom—!!!"

The twenty-six beams of Supreme God Law Light converged into a "torrent of erasure" whose color and form were indescribable, violently smashing through the boundaries of this Universe, flowing upstream along the two threads of Karma, and rushing into a Supreme dimension that was indescribable, incomprehensible, and presided over all the myriad worlds!

Here, Karma itself became blurred, time lost its scale, and space turned into a concept.

Only two indescribable "existences" quietly reflected upon the heavens.

At one end was Infinite Light, Infinite Life, Infinite Awakening.

In the light was a towering phantom of a Buddha, sitting cross-legged on an endless lotus throne, with a Great Sun golden wheel slowly rotating behind its head; every ray of light seemed to contain the birth, death, and Reincarnation of three thousand Major Thousand Worlds.

It was the Great Sun Tathagata, the fundamental Dharma body of all Buddhas, the source of all light and wisdom.

At the other end was a Supreme, noble, and great sense of dominion.

Amidst layers upon layers of endless purple-gold clouds and the phantom of the Hall of Miraculous Mist, a figure sat in the center of the heavens, wearing a twelve-tasseled crown, draped in a robe of ten thousand stars; as its eyes opened and closed, it seemed as if all the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were worshipping, and the myriad worlds were undergoing cycles of birth and death.

It was the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, the High God of the Mysterious Vault, who ruled over the myriad heavens and was the Dominator of all Karma and authority in the Three Realms and the ten directions.
