Chapter 884 - 452: Emperor
Immortal Yang Mei, within this vast expanse of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, had traversed alone for an age beyond measure.
So long that even he himself could hardly remember how many Primordial Meetings had passed, witnessing the cycles of birth, death, and Reincarnation of countless worlds.
At the beginning, when he first set foot in this peculiar time-space, known as [Brahma Heaven Universe], it was precisely undergoing another cycle of cosmic Re-creation.
This Universe, compared to other worlds he had seen, appeared exceptionally unique.
Because it was exceedingly fond of "rebooting."
And the fundamental reason for this lay with the three supreme Main Gods of this Universe — Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva.
The Creator God of this realm is the four-faced, four-armed Brahma; the Protector God is the compassionate Vishnu; and the God of Destruction is the formidable Shiva.
In the legends of this Universe, Vishnu, the Protector God, always lay reclining on the back of a giant serpent named "She Sha," peacefully snoring in the boundless Sea of Chaos.
At the beginning of an Epoch, the completion of a universal cycle, Vishnu would leisurely awaken from his slumber.
When he intended to create a new world, a resplendent golden lotus would sprout from his navel.
Subsequently, Brahma, the Creator God, would spring forth from the lotus, commencing his grand task of world creation.
And when the end of an Epoch arrived, as all things approached demise, Shiva, the God of Destruction, would open his third eye, beginning his ultimate work of world Destruction.
Now, this newly rebooted Brahma Heaven Universe, due to the death of Shiva's consort, seemed to be prematurely entering the world-ending stage that should have come at the Epoch's end.
"Alas, having stayed in this world for so long, there's always a strange feeling everywhere,"
Immortal Yang Mei hid in a safe space-time fissure, observing Shiva at the world's center, unleashing Supreme Divine Power to turn the entire heavens and earth into ashes, secretly mused in his heart.
As one of this Universe's trinity gods, Shiva is not solely the God of Destruction but also embodies the supreme concept of a "perfect Universe."
Moreover, this Deity is an austere god who passionately enhances his Strength through arduous cultivation.
Originally, as per the initial setting, Shiva was supposed to be devoid of emotion, with only the Great Dao in his heart.
However, it was precisely the presence of this "perfect" concept in Shiva that prevented Brahma, the Creator God, from smoothly advancing the subsequent evolution of this world.
Thus, after deliberation among the three Main Gods, they decided to have Shiva split a part of himself to become "imperfect," thereby allowing the world a space to pursue "perfection."
Thus, Shiva completely separated the power representing "yin" and "gentleness" within him, transforming it into an extraordinarily beautiful Goddess named Sakti.
However, at this moment, a vexing issue arose.
Amid the subsequent deducing of the world's processes, Brahma, the Creator God, uncovered a new problem.
Simply put, Shiva was far too powerful, and after becoming "imperfect," the entire world became imperfect as well.
To smoothly advance the world evolution during this Epoch, Shiva had to be restored to his "perfect" nature.
The sole means of achieving this was to have Shiva reunite fully with his feminine aspect — the Sakti Goddess.
As a result, the union of these two deities encountered numerous tribulations.
Just as they were about to break through various obstacles to live happily together, a series of bizarre occurrences tragically led to Sakti's reincarnate body, engulfed in profound grief, self-immolating to death.
Immediately, with the death of his beloved, the already ill-tempered Shiva lost control completely on the spot.
"Calm yourself, Shiva!"
Seeing Shiva about to utterly destroy the world, Vishnu, the Protector God, and Brahma, the Creator God, finally arrived together.
Brahma loudly called upon the furious God of Destruction: "Shiva! The entire world will turn to ashes due to your wrath, please regain your reason!"
Shiva's voice, filled with the will of Destruction, coldly responded: "All things must end in Destruction, this is the ultimate truth of the Universe."
"Today, with Sakti dead, I harbor no lingering affection towards these beings."
"Let this imperfect world come to its End!"
Saying this, Shiva prepared to fully unleash the Trident in his hand, which represented goodness, worry, and darkness; the boundless Power of Destruction instantly traversed past, present, and future, beginning to shatter the endless Space-Time.
Observing this, Vishnu, the Protector God, realized that words were futile, and could only wield his World-Protecting Magical Artifact, engaging in battle with Shiva, attempting to halt the latter's insane world-ending act.
The two Supreme Main Gods fought from the cracked earth to the shattered skies, and from those broken skies to the chaotic Sea of Chaos.
