In the depths of space was a location where a rift existed in the void of the Fourth Star Ring. It was a huge location, equal in size to many universes, surrounded by endless crimson dust. This was one of the four great forbidden regions of the Fourth Star Ring.
From ancient times until now, hardly anyone had ever been there. Of the gods who died inside... not one had ever returned.
Now, as the bell tolled, and as dramatic events played out on the primeval motherworld, that forbidden region... stirred!
In its depths, where few gods ever visited, there was an altar made from a huge pile of god bones, within which crawled a host of vicious worms. Atop the bone altar was a bronze coffin surrounded by a swirling mist of primal-chaos. Innumerable god chains stretched out from the void to lock the coffin in place!
When the tempest struck the sea of memories outside, the chains swayed, and the coffin... exploded open!
Inside the coffin was a corpse that had been slumbering for millions upon millions of years. The corpse sat up! As hē did, the entire forbidden region quaked. Countless godly striations appeared, which were there to suppress the corpse. The corpse ignored the godly striations, and instead spoke in a raspy, laughing voice.
“God Paragon Nan Ke... your authority of fate... is currently being stolen. Years ago, you were like one of these god-eating worms that devoured some of Eminent Desolation’s authority when hē was undergoing tribulation. Well, I suppose I’ll just suppress you again!”
As the words left hīs mouth, godhood in the form of a blinding blood-red light shot out from hīs rotten chest. It spread out through the chains, causing all of them to crumble.
“This person walked the dao of immortals to the point of equaling us, and now it seems he used Eminent Desolation’s karma to conceal your fate and omniscience. A very clever and interesting plan!”
As the rotten expressions of Godtongue echoed out, countless god-eating worms around the coffin were vaporized.
An instant later, the godly striations in the forbidden region flowed toward the god like rivers, completely covering the god and crushing down. The coffin that had exploded appeared again. The chains formed once more. The body of the god was once again sealed inside the coffin.
However, laughter still echoed out, drifting from the coffin and speaking one last time. The godly voice said, “I see... fate can be broken, but constants must be respected!”[1]
