World Version Updates-Chapter 488 - 309: The Fruit of Lu Yan (Part 2)

The all-seeing eyes of the Main God flickered slightly, fully understanding that Lu Yan's loud invocation of His name was a deliberate act to establish a cause-effect relationship and draw Him to this location.

He was being used as a pawn.

As an "external" pawn, upon the Main God's descent, He immediately beheld the greatest hidden secret of this mysterious version: an ancient corpse.

This would undoubtedly arouse the utmost vigilance and hostility of the Seven Great Gods. Even if the Main God showed no desire for the ancient corpse at that moment, the Seven Great Gods would absolutely not believe Him.

The Emperor's Dharma Aspect could appear in the Star Realm Dimension because it had the aura of the ancient corpse and was too weak to compete with Them for the ancient authority.

But the Main God was different. According to Lu Yan, the Main God was already on the path of being the sole existence across the ages and was fully qualified to devour the ancient corpse.

They would never allow any powerful outsider to covet this feast that belonged to Them.

In the eyes of the Seven Gods, after all, the Main God had not truly transcended and was still restricted by the sole entity of this world.

To confront the Seven existent of equal rank on their home ground, which they had nurtured for countless ages, would be difficult even for Him.

Having thoroughly understood the causality before Him, the Main God knew it would be almost impossible to directly strike at Lu Yan this time.

However, the causal link that Lu Yan voluntarily re-established was not entirely useless.

This link, like a tiny coordinate, would allow Him to interfere in Lu Yan's fate more precisely and profoundly in the future.

As long as time was enough, the day would come when the Main God could lead Lu Yan into the Main God version to explore the mystery of being the sole existence across the ages.

And as the Main God, what He lacked least was time.

Gazing meaningfully at the small Emperor's Dharma Aspect below, the massive eyes reflecting myriad stars beginning to open and close, slowly started to close.

The projection of the Main God's will was about to depart.

Yet at this moment, deep within the Victoria Royal Palace, Lu Yan, sitting cross-legged in what seemed to be an ordinary quiet room, made another startling move.

His tightly closed lips slightly parted, and with a voice only he could hear, he began to speak slowly, word by word:

"Initiate early, version update!"

Buzz!

As if an invisible giant hand pressed the pause button on the entire world.

In an instant, time and space froze.

Whether it was the billions of beings in the Extraordinary World or the populace in the material world, even the swirling dust, the flowing light and shadow...everything in this mysterious version seemed to lose its vibrant colors and fell into a state of eternal stillness in monochrome.

Lu Yan used the new authority he gained in the catastrophic version to initiate the version update ahead of time.

Normally, once the version update began, everything would be affected by this frozen time and space, falling into absolute stillness, with almost no exception.

Except for the Unchanging of this world.

Above the stars, the Seven Great Gods, once tense and hostile, and that ancient corpse emitting a terrifying aura, along with the massive eyes of the Main God that were about to close, seemed completely isolated from the entire monochrome frozen world at this moment.

In this quiet frozen time and space, only those beings of the Unchanging realm could maintain their original vibrant colors, continuing to act and think freely.

Deep in the Royal Palace, Lu Yan had long anticipated the Unchanging state that allowed them to keep moving.

He clearly remembered when Jiang Zhiwei had moved freely at the version update's start in the Immortal Adventure version.

Using the opportunity created by the Longevity Celestial Venerable's interference during the version update, she boldly acted, slicing through the Longevity Celestial Venerable's Profound Vagina Door with a single sword, eradicating the hidden threat on Lu Yan.

With that thrilling precedent, at the Seven Great Gods' awakening, Lu Yan profoundly understood he was trapped in a deadlock.

The version update was Lu Yan's opportunity to escape the mysterious version, but it all depended on successfully completing the version update. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After the Seven Great Gods awakened, they would inevitably focus on him, and once the version update commenced, it would surely draw the attention of the Seven Great Gods.

Under the interference of the Unchanging of this world, Lu Yan would be unable to complete the version update and would instead expose himself as a target for everyone.

What awaited him then would be the scrutiny of the Seven Great Gods.

The Seven Gods had already divided the ancient corpse and would not mind placing another Unchanging on the feast table again.

For this reason, Lu Yan meticulously planned this series of actions.

First, he used the Emperor's Dharma Aspect as bait, attending this ancient feast alone to attract the attention of the Seven Great Gods.

Then, in front of the Seven Great Gods, he reconnected the cause-effect link with the Main God, drawing this external entity who could intimidate the Seven Gods into the scenario, further diverting the attention of the Seven Great Gods and creating potential conflicts among Them.

Finally, at the peak of confusion and when it was easiest to overlook, as all eyes of the Unchanging were fixed on the descent of the Main God, he decisively used the early update authority to boldly initiate the version update ahead of time.

It was a gamble on the information gap, betting that these lofty deities would not instantly associate this sudden version update with his seemingly weak incarnation.

Indeed, Lu Yan's judgment proved accurate.

As the entire mysterious version fell into a monochrome eternal stillness, while only the Unchanging of this world maintained color and action, the Seven Great Gods instinctively turned their gaze toward Above the Sky, at those terrifyingly oppressive giant eyes.

They instinctively believed that to trigger such a grand and bizarre phenomenon could only be the newly descended, unfathomably powerful outsider Main God, who could be responsible.

After all, in Their view, how could a mere Sequence 2 "incarnation" control a version update?

But Lu Yan knew this wouldn't entirely resolve the crisis; there was another present who knew the source of the version update.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked towards Above the Sky, at That massive eyes.

The Main God was also aware, and if He were to speak the truth, Lu Yan would be brought back into the Seven Gods' sights.

But...would the Main God truly reveal the truth?

...

Above the stars, the Main God's indifferent eyes flickered slightly, naturally realizing that the sudden version update was indeed Lu Yan's doing.

Yet the Main God did not immediately explain, nor showed any anger at being deceived.

The Unchanging characteristic in Lu Yan was absolutely a crucial opportunity for the Main God seeking the sole path of the universe.

Only by having the Unchanging characteristic could one ignore the endless version updates; this was exactly the Dao fruit the Main God sought for countless ages.

He would never allow this Dao fruit to fall into the hands of any other peers.

This realm was the home ground the Seven Great Gods had cultivated for untold ages. If Lu Yan was exposed right now and the Seven Great Gods discovered he was the true mastermind behind the version update, Lu Yan would surely fall into the hands of the Seven Great Gods.

This was the outcome the Main God most wished to avoid.

During Lu Yan's solitary version update process, the Main God had numerous opportunities to guide him into the Main God version.

But if he fell into the hands of the Unchanging of this world, the Main God would lose the chance to capture Lu Yan.

He not only couldn't expose Lu Yan, but had to actively take the blame for the version update to completely divert the Seven Great Gods' attention from Lu Yan.

At this thought, the Main God's sidelong glance fell on the young man within the palace who could still move freely.

"Well played."

A cold whisper echoed in Lu Yan's soul.

In this frozen time, the starry eyes slowly closed.

Immediately after, a dazzlingly bright gigantic white light sphere unexpectedly tore through the frozen monochrome time and space, forcibly intruding into this mysterious Star Realm Dimension.

The scale of that white light sphere was unimaginably vast, occupying the entire Star Realm Dimension. Even the Divine Kingdom of the Seven Great Gods was pushed to the boundary, the massive sphere not being a great sun yet exuding an indescribable aura of majesty and sacredness.

Its colossal mass and the primordial Dao it contained even caused the entire Star Realm Dimension to become violently distorted, as if it could be crushed by this sudden behemoth at any moment.

Within the light radiating from the sphere, there seemed to be the cycle of worlds, the birth and death of all things!
