The Growth of a God

Chapter 353 - 23: The Great Red Dragon With 7 Heads and 10 Horns

"What?"

Before Raphael could recover from Li Hao’s words, a world beneath his feet gradually descending into chaos let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The next second, in the center of that shattered world, beneath the withered Tree of Life.

A Demon Dragon towering into the sky suddenly manifested, letting out a thunderous roar towards Raphael from beyond the world.

"Ang!"

It was not just the Demon Dragon roaring alone; all seven dragon heads raised to the sky in unison.

It was not just the wrath of a single dragon, but the wrath of a world drained of everything.

Boom!

This anger transformed into the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that ignited the entire world.

The Demon Dragon, bathed in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, lifted its head to gaze at the skies, revealing its true form to the world for the first time.

It was a Seven-headed Ten-horned Great Red Dragon.

A being that only appears at the time of the final judgment, known as the "Enemy of God."

Its body wrapped around the entire earth, its tail dragging a third of the stars.

Even from afar, the sevenfold crown atop the Great Red Dragon’s head reflected the sun, moon, and stars, even mirroring Raphael’s shocked face.

"It’s Satan!"

The Yawei Gods habitually labeled any entity hostile to them as "Satan."

However, only the Seven Great Creation Angels at the pinnacle of the Yawei God system knew the truth: "Satan" is in fact a real Demon King, the Enemy of God.

It is a Divine Abomination born only at the world’s end, formed by the resentment of all beings.

This Divine Abomination is solely against the Yawei Gods, a retribution from the world and all living beings for the Gods’ plundering of faith.

The critical point is, this Divine Abomination is also a God.

Both a God! And a Divine Abomination!

This is the "Satan" spoken of by the Yawei Gods!

"How is it possible... How could this world nurture Satan!?"

In disbelief, Raphael’s golden pupils were filled with incredulity as they widened.

He had practically expelled all the Divine Spirits from this world.

The "Lord Cangbai," who stubbornly remained, had been weakened and sealed by him through various means.

Even the loyal "Master of Cui Lu" was designed by him to transform into a soulless "Spirit of Nature."

How could there be another powerful Divine Spirit in this world, willing to degrade into a Divine Abomination to absorb the resentments of all beings to retaliate against him?

[So it seems that ’Void Entity’ wasn’t produced by you.]

With Li Hao’s reminder, Raphael suddenly came to realize.

"Is it the ’Master of the Void’?"

"How could it be? Clearly, it’s just an empty shell, not even comparable to the ’Spirit of Nature’!"

Raphael was not unaware of the existence of the "Master of the Void."

The problem is, the "Master of the Void" isn’t a true God in the conventional sense; it resembles more of a natural phenomenon in this world.

When Raphael was expelling the Gods from this world, he had specifically kept an eye on the changes of the "Master of the Void."

As a result of his observations, Raphael had almost determined that the "Master of the Void" could never birth a God of Nothingness.

For void inherently signifies nothingness, which implies that nothing can be born from it.

[A pure Void Dimension is naturally an empty shell...]

[Even if the living beings of this world wish to use it for Ascension to Divinity, there isn’t even the slightest possibility.]

Nodding in agreement with Raphael’s statement, but then Li Hao changed the course of his words and continued.

[But the problem is, that was the original void.]

[With your apocalyptic renewal, that ’Void Entity’ has been mixed with too many elements, including the ’Lord Cangbai’s’ curse.]

[The ’Lord Cangbai’ was the original Death God of this world, and his posthumous curse was enough to affect a Void Dimension of the same level.]

[Hence, when the pure void is influenced by the will of the ’Lord Cangbai,’ it ceases to be pure.]

Hearing this, Raphael, after a brief daze, immediately identified the flaw in Li Hao’s statement.

"Even if everything is as you say, it would still just be an ordinary Void God, unqualified to incarnate as ’Satan’!"

A newborn Void God, no matter how prodigious, could never incarnate as the Seven-headed Ten-horned Great Red Dragon rivaling the Creator.

"Of course, an ordinary Void God couldn’t, but what if this Void God isn’t ordinary?"

Catching the nuance, Raphael immediately realized that Li Hao had a hand in the matter.

Yet, before he could think further, the Great Red Dragon had already torn through the barriers of the world, charging straight at Raphael.

It was only at this point that Raphael finally discerned the nature of his adversary.

As Li Hao suggested, the Void God descending in the form of the "Great Red Dragon" was no ordinary Void God.

Intended as the original sealing vessel for the "Lord Cangbai," it now transformed that force symbolizing "death" into its own essence.

"That base lifeform... chose not to seal it?"

"It dared to embrace the ’Lord Cangbai’s’ curse within a ’Void Body’?"

Amidst Raphael’s furious roars, the Great Red Dragon, wielding both void and death powers, opened its jaws and breathed.

Boom!

In an instant, the God of Creation and the God of the End clashed together.

Twelve golden wings burned like flames...

A sword capable of cleaving the world was slowly drawn out from the withered World Tree...

Raphael, hailed as the "God of Civilization," now launched the most barbaric and furious counterattack against the Great Red Dragon.

Boom!!!

Massive explosions echoed across the world, tearing through dimensions.

In the apocalyptic scenario of chaos—of water, fire, earth, and wind—the Seven-headed Ten-horned Great Red Dragon stirred the world, dragged the stars, fully displaying its authority as the God of Void and Death.

Its seven heads originated from those predecessors who had sealed the "Lord Cangbai."

The Great Red Dragon, endowed with wisdom and self-discernment, trod a path vastly different from its predecessors.

Instead of crudely sealing the "Lord Cangbai" within, it embraced and assimilated his will with its void essence.

Although this act equates to resurrecting the "Lord Cangbai,"

the Great Red Dragon, possessing complete bodily dominance, likewise ascended to become a Mieshi Demon God equivalent to the Creator.

[This world... there might still be innocents.]

Witnessing the awe-inspiring duel, Li Hao’s heart remained surprisingly calm.

Perhaps none of this world’s Gods, Demigods, or even twisted life forms are innocent.

But those Dark Lives emerging from the errant timelines are the world’s purest, most innocent beings.

Their birth is to greet death, which is entirely unfair to them.

From a Creator’s standpoint, Li Hao wishes to offer these Dark Lives a choice.
