Chapter 255: The God Realm’s Model Couple, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life
The edge of the God Realm.
Yet the Laws were not thin here.
The gilded temple complexes of the God Realm’s core had long since vanished from sight.
Only this region presented a completely different scene.
The Forest of Life.
It formed an extreme contrast with the deathly stillness and oppression of the Castle of Destruction.
This was the universally recognized Holy Land of life within the God Realm.
It was a supreme pure land that even ordinary Divinities did not dare to set foot in casually.
A pale green barrier enveloped the entire forest.
This was a barrier personally set up by the Goddess of Life.
It was not meant to exclude visitors, but rather for fear that the overly dense Origin life force would disrupt the ecology of the God Realm.
Within the barrier lay a scene of total vibrancy.
Emerald life fireflies danced throughout the sky.
Like crushed stars scattered across the heavens, they slowly drifted through the woods.
They would circle around injured small forest creatures, using their own life force to soothe their wounds.
The jade-like ancient tree of life stood quietly at the very center of the forest.
It blotted out the sun and sky, its massive trunk piercing straight into the clouds, with no end in sight.
The bark was covered in ancient divine runes, which were the veins of the Law of Life engraved upon the tree’s body.
They were marks left by countless ages since the beginning of the Universe.
Countless branches and leaves stretched out in all directions.
Layers upon layers of emerald green propped up the sky of the entire Forest of Life.
Every aerial root hanging from the branches contained the life force of a Small World.
The soft lawn was like a fine emerald carpet; walking upon it made no sound.
Exotic flowers that never faded for ten thousand years bloomed upon it.
Red, pink, yellow, purple—a kaleidoscope of colors spread out.
When the wind blew, waves of flowers rippled in layers, emitting a faint, refreshing scent of herbs.
Every wisp of wind brushing through the forest was wrapped in a life force capable of soothing the pain of all things.
Even a heavily injured Divinity...
...could recover at a visible speed as long as they stepped into this forest’s barrier.
This was the residence of the Goddess of Life, one of the five Supreme Gods of Law Enforcement in the God Realm.
It was the absolute core of life and creation power for the entire God Realm.
The Law of Life for the entire God Realm extended from here.
Like the root system of an ancient tree, it spread to every corner of the God Realm.
Maintaining the flow of life and the balance of Laws throughout the God Realm.
At the very center of the Forest of Life.
Beneath the ancient tree of life that propped up the Law of Life for the entire God Realm.
The Goddess of Life, dressed in a long emerald-green gown, stood quietly.
She was barefoot, stepping on the soft lawn.
Small white flowers automatically bloomed wherever her toes touched, merging back into the earth an instant later.
She was frowning; her brow, which was usually relaxed, was now tightly knit.
The emerald fireflies swirling around her fingertips were flickering unsteadily.
Several wisps of fireflies, unable to withstand the fluctuations of the Origin, dissipated into the air as soon as they floated up.
Even the eternally warm and peaceful aura of life around her was trembling slightly.
As if she had been greatly moved by something.
Even the leaves of the ancient tree of life were shaking gently, making a rustling sound.
As if silently soothing their master.
The Goddess of Life possessed a clear, peerless, and warmly exquisite countenance.
Her beauty was not of the aggressively stunning kind.
Instead, it carried the gentleness and healing sensation of the Origin of life.
Soft and gentle, untainted by dust, she seemed like the collection of all beautiful things in the world.
Usually, a faint smile always graced her face.
Her eyes were filled with compassion and affinity.
Even just standing quietly, she would make people feel a sense of closeness and peace from the bottom of their hearts.
All irritability, unease, and resentment would vanish into thin air under her gaze.
But now, that gentle smile had disappeared.
Her lips were pressed tightly together, and her eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.
There was also a soft, almost maternal throb that she herself had not yet noticed.
She had a graceful and slender figure, dressed in a flowing aqua-green gown.
This gown was not sewn with needle and thread, but was condensed from the tenderest leaves of the ancient tree of life.
The hem of the skirt bore natural leaf vein patterns, and with her movements, tiny flower petals slowly drifted down.
They turned into pure life force upon hitting the ground, merging into the earth beneath her feet.
A few fresh green floral ornaments adorned her hair.
Those were Flowers of Life, which the ancient tree of life bloomed only once every ten thousand years and never withered.
Echoing the green of her gown, they made her appear even more like a deity nurtured by nature.
She was the most vivid personification of life itself.
Her eyes were a clear and transparent emerald green.
Her gaze was soft and warm, as if holding the purest life force in the world.
Looking closely, one could even see the rotation of the four seasons and the growth and decay of plants in her eyes.
Those were the trajectories of all life in the God Realm.
Her true form was this ancient tree of life in the God Realm.
Even in human form, she and the ancient tree were always as one.
Her heartbeat was the heartbeat of the ancient tree.
Her emotional fluctuations would affect the Law of Life of the entire God Realm.
She was the oldest and most approachable Supreme Divinity in the God Realm.
Just then.
"Crack!!!"
A blinding bolt of purple lightning suddenly exploded in front of her.
A violent aura of destruction swept in like a tsunami.
But the moment it touched the life aura around her, it was suddenly and completely restrained.
It did not harm a single flower or blade of grass nearby, nor did it startle a single leaf into falling.
The figure of the God of Destruction appeared.
He had rushed from the Castle of Destruction at top speed, crossing more than half of the God Realm.
Because a billionth of a second ago, he had sensed the violent trembling of his wife’s Origin.
He casually pulled off the hood on his head.
Revealing a face that was handsome to the extreme, but currently filled with tension and worry.
Beneath the hood was a man who appeared to be in his thirties.
His features were deep and sharp, as if carved from ten-thousand-year-old ice.
There were no redundant soft lines; his brows were as sharp as knives, and his eye sockets were deep.
He had short, dark red hair that stood up like steel needles.
It looked like congealed blood or glowing black iron, carrying a sharpness that kept people at a distance.
His eyes were a pure blood-red.
Usually, when his gaze flickered, it seemed capable of crushing all things in the world.
His eyes held no worldly emotions, only the indifference and majesty of one who wielded the Law of Destruction.
But now, that bone-deep indifference and majesty were entirely replaced by tension and worry.
The Destruction Divine Rune on his forehead, which was usually hidden, also faintly emerged due to his emotional fluctuations.
It shimmered with a faint purple-black halo of destruction.
Only the life aura of the Goddess of Life could merge and coexist with it.
Without suffering the slightest harm.
Only in front of her would this Vicious Beast, capable of destroying heaven and earth, retract all its claws and teeth.
The two of them were originally two of the five great Origin Divine Personas that split off when the Creation God fell.
They were the two most core basic Laws of the Universe.
Destruction and Life, termination and creation; they complemented and countered each other, being two sides of the same coin.
From the moment of their birth, they had seen each other.
From the beginning of Chaos, to the formation of the Universe, and then to the establishment of the God Realm.
They had accompanied each other for billions of years, carving out an inseparable bond of destiny.
They were the universally recognized orthodox couple of the God Realm, having been together for billions of years.
They had an extreme contrast in personality and emotional patterns, yet they fit together perfectly.
They had exclusive nicknames for each other that had never changed.
The Goddess of Life called him "Xiao Zi," and the God of Destruction called her "Xiao Lv."
These names had been used since they were still two ignorant masses of OriginLaw.
Even after they became the Supreme Gods of Law Enforcement in charge of the God Realm, revered by all gods.
These names, which belonged only to each other, had never changed.
Besides each other, no third person dared to call them that.
The God of Destruction’s personality was lofty and cold, paranoid and rigid.
He was surrounded by a suffocating pressure of annihilation.
He treated all things in the world with the indifference of one who controlled life and death.
In his eyes, even a God King was merely dust that would eventually be destroyed.
Only toward the Goddess of Life did he possess a bone-deep gentleness and indulgence.
All his paranoia and ambition essentially hid an inferiority regarding his own authority.
As well as an obsession with proving himself and guarding this God Realm for his wife.
He could make an enemy of the entire God Realm, but he would never harm the Goddess of Life in the slightest.
Only in front of her would he shed his icy shell and reveal the vulnerability and softness hidden in his deepest depths.
