Chapter 1469: Chapter 1426: One Person Achieves Enlightenment Chapter 1469: Chapter 1426: One Person Achieves Enlightenment In the Sea of World-Origin Force, a vast amount of the root force nurturing all things had disappeared, all of which had merged into the body of a great being, making the final preparations for His ascension—a necessary process.

Even though the world was now extremely weakened, it was for this reason that it needed a ruler wielding supreme power more than ever to oversee everything, to plan everything, and to rely on Him to return to the peak levels of the past.

In the Divine Realm, where only deities could set foot and where mortal things could not reach, the power that evolved all things disbanded into a hazy mist, covering an imposing existence in entirety.

Even the highest Law, which deities could sense but never touch, thunderously descended, transforming into the visible Light of Law, shining upon the God King who was about to ascend to the supreme position of World Dominator.

For ordinary deities, this was unimaginable. Thus, the gods who had survived the final battle all gaped at Muria with awe in their eyes, watching a God King who was already incredibly powerful become even more unfathomable.

“Teacher!”

Enveloped in the Powerful Divine Force radiating the light of the Elements—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—His eyes shone with excitement as He watched Muria, feeling the immense power that He seemed forever out of reach but yearned for.

He knew that in this world, His Teacher was a peak He could never surpass in His entire life. But as long as he could leave this world, then he had the potential for a future filled with endless possibilities.

It was the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with his Teacher, perhaps even surpass Him. With his own strength, he would never touch this possibility throughout his life, but with the aid of his Teacher’s power, he could transcend the world and travel to the Void brimming with endless possibilities.

This was the promise Muria once made to Him. At the time, that promise seemed far out of reach, like a fool’s dream, but what was once impossible had now become reality, and his Teacher’s promise was about to be fulfilled. Thus, He felt exhilarated.

“Oh, Master of the World!” the Shiyu Dominator was also watching Muria’s ascension silently at this time, his gaze filled with emotion.

It wasn’t envy, nor was it jealousy, but simply emotion and a tinge of faint consolation, like an elder seeing a younger one achieve good results.

He harbored no covetous thoughts toward Muria’s current power; he had no need for that power. It was an opportunity meant for the younger generation.

If he wished, he could become the ruler of a great world at any time; with a bit more effort, he could achieve the position that Muria had tirelessly strived for.

But there was no need. The position of World Master imposed more restrictions on him than benefits. Therefore, he could calmly deal with the near-celestial gains Muria was making at this moment.

However, those rulers who were only a step away from Eternity could maintain their composure while watching Muria’s ascension, but not all beings could be so undisturbed.

The young Titans who came to this world for training, as well as those from the Titan Tribe who had descended in the beginning because of the Epics—most of the Titan Tribe didn’t care too much; on the contrary, they were spurred by Muria’s achievements to ignite an even stronger fighting spirit.

But the Blazing Sky God Race and the Dragon Race really couldn’t stay indifferent. Especially the Dragon Race, they were truly filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Watching Muria’s ascension, their eyes turned red with desire.

However, three Dragon Kings did not need to, as they watched Muria with pride and self-satisfaction on their faces, boasting to the surrounding beings in various subtle ways. Their golden Dragon scales indicated their Identity—Muria’s Mother, and his Dragon King grandparents.

“Old friend, I have understood most of the situation. When do you plan to go back?”

A golden Dragon King casually asked the Blazing Sky God Race’s in-laws, already adopting the tone of a host.

“Go back? Where to go back to?”

Blazing Sky God Arudiba watched the Old Dragon beside him with a cold sneer, fully aware of his intentions.

“Of course, to Elasia. Now that my grandson has become the ruler of this world, do you have the shame to poach at my grandson’s territory right here?”

The Dragon King glanced disdainfully at the winged birdmen beside him, finding them more and more displeasing to the eye.

With a changed identity, his perspective on things had altered as well. Before his grandson ascended to the world’s throne, this world was nothing more than an Otherworld to him, and it made no difference how it was handled.

But now, this world was his own backyard. Naturally, he took no pleasure in watching a bunch of fools digging and plundering, occasionally wreaking havoc in his own backyard.

“Dimos, you old thing, quit your cunning with me. Your grandson’s achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the significant efforts of my Blazing Sky God Race.

You, you shameless old thing, just wait until my new son-in-law completes his ascension and see how he treats me?”

“Pah, I’m shameless? Have you got any shame yourself? Weren’t you the one who was never satisfied with my grandson before? And now suddenly he’s ‘my dear grandson-in-law.’ What took you so early?”

“Quit your nonsense, if I wasn’t satisfied with Him, would I have gone to such lengths to pull together a group of Blazing Sky Gods to help him?”

“Hah, you call that helping? It’s obvious you were just pitying your granddaughter.”

“Really, am I the one you should be wary of? Does my Blazing Sky God Race ruling over the Boundless Heavenly Realm, with countless small and middle worlds within our dominion, lack the resources in your grandson’s hands?”

Arudiba looked at the Dragon Kings gathered in a riot of colors with a snort. Compared to the disciplined troops of the Titan Tribe and the Blazing Sky God Race, the Dragon Race’s faction seemed like a disorganized mob.

And in fact, it wasn’t far from the truth. The Dragon Kings who had descended here had no leader, not even a nominal one. Dimos could make do, but he was unwilling.

Because being the boss meant providing for one’s followers, and now, where was the meat supposed to come from? It had to be cut from his grandson’s world. How could that be allowed?

“You’re right!”

Dimos imperceptibly nodded in agreement with Arudiba’s words. Given the innate greed of the Dragon Race, even a Giant Dragon that had lived a moderately long time would have amassed a considerable fortune, and the Dragon Kings even more so.

However, the rate at which individuals accumulated wealth was no match for that of the top powerholders. Thus, in the eyes of the Blazing Sky Gods, most of the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Race were but poor wretches sleeping on piles of trash, except for the Metallic Dragon Clan, which fared slightly better.

But even that was nothing compared to the rise of Muria, signaling that the Dragon Kings related by blood could easily step out of the category of wretches. Yet, the relationships within the Dragon Race were very delicate.

“You should be preventing your thick-skinned kin who could rival the World Barriers from seeking to ingratiate themselves with my grandson-in-law!”

“Indeed.” Dimos’s wariness in his eyes became even more apparent, targeted towards his own kind.
