In the blink of an eye, another half year passed. In Ye Wen's expectant gaze, Gu Yuena completed her transformation and emitted a divine presence that clearly indicated she had reached the level of King of God Kings, even before hatching.
Today, Gu Yuena's energy fluctuations reached their peak!
As Ye Wen eagerly awaited Gu Yuena to hatch, a peculiar scene unfolded.
Unlike Na'er, although Gu Yuena also took the form of a dragon egg, she did not reappear by breaking out of it.
With a burst of divine light, in Ye Wen's astonished eyes, Gu Yuena's dragon egg, previously as large as a small mountain, began to swell rapidly, growing to the size of the Douluo Star in an instant.
Na'er exclaimed, "Wow, that's huge! But what's going on with Sister?"
To Na'er's question, Ye Wen could only shake his head in confusion. Although deities had the ability to change their size at will once they reached godhood, no deity would expand their physique to such an exaggerated extent.
After all, while a large body might look impressive, in actual combat, it would be nothing more than a sitting duck.
Moreover, controlling an enlarged body required corresponding spiritual power. Otherwise, without enhanced perception and control, one would be utterly vulnerable.
Although unable to answer Na'er's question, Ye Wen calmly said, "Just watch. Gu Yuena must have her reasons for doing this. Her accumulation is no less than yours, and now her breakthrough to King of God Kings has a stronger aura than yours. This just shows she is on the right path."
Accepting this reasoning, Na'er nodded. As they waited quietly, the dragon egg, now the size of Douluo Star, began to twist and transform.
Finally, a colossal divine dragon, far larger than the Douluo Star, loomed in the cosmic void.
To Ye Wen's surprise, the dragon form that Gu Yuena assumed was not the Western dragon but more akin to the sinuous Eastern long snake-dragon, elegant and powerful, a perfect blend of strength and grace.
However, after transforming into a giant dragon, Gu Yuena remained motionless for a long time, leaving Ye Wen and Na'er puzzled. What was Gu Yuena up to? Shouldn't her consciousness return after breaking out?
But soon, Ye Wen realized what Gu Yuena was doing.
Unlike Na'er, who had broken through to King of God Kings via elemental laws, Gu Yuena had followed the path of creation, abandoning the Dragon God's way of world-creation.
However, it was evident that Gu Yuena's own talents were insufficient to break through to King of God Kings solely on her own. Thus, she begrudgingly seized the Dragon God's foundations to achieve her current breakthrough.
Furthermore, thanks to Ye Wen's influence, Gu Yuena had access to numerous laws. She didn't merely copy the Dragon God's work and found her own path during this reverse cultivation.
Ye Wen praised, "No wonder it's Gu Yuena. After all these years, she has finally carved her own path in her creation journey.
If I'm not mistaken, she not only absorbed the Dragon God's creation laws like you, Na'er, but also drew from Yu'er and Xue'er's cycle laws, integrating them. No longer fixated on creation and destruction, she has forged a path toward eternal cyclic worlds."
Hearing this, Na'er nodded in agreement. Though not following Gu Yuena's path of creation, their shared sensory experiences allowed Na'er to understand Gu Yuena's creation laws. Indeed, Gu Yuena's law changes matched Ye Wen's description precisely.
At this moment, both Ye Wen and Na'er keenly sensed that Gu Yuena's previously obscure law energies had become calm, mature, and orderly.
Moments later, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.
Unlike before, her fully transformed divine body and laws revealed multicolored brilliance in her formerly silver eyes, constantly shifting and creating endless changes, appearing divinely beautiful.
But this outer appearance was not what Ye Wen and Na'er focused on; they were more interested in the changes in laws when Gu Yuena opened her eyes.
As Gu Yuena opened her eyes, the radiant scales on her body responded accordingly, lighting up in an orderly fashion, illuminating the cosmos.
Facing this radiance, ordinary people couldn't open their eyes, and even some weaker gods would be scorched by the divine charm contained within.
It was as if Gu Yuena had transformed into a sun deity.
But Ye Wen could clearly observe that the dazzling scales on Gu Yuena were extraordinary.
Unlike the Dragon God's irregular yet harmoniously beautiful nine-colored scales, Gu Yuena's scales resembled those from her Silver Dragon King period—semi-circular.
However, compared to her previous silver scales, these emitted divine power and light on a whole new level. More importantly, Ye Wen noticed that these scales bore inscriptions of spatial laws, each forming its own space—small planes capable of accommodating billions of beings, though not as vast as life-bearing planets.
Subsequently, Ye Wen used his divine consciousness to scan around Gu Yuena and found exactly 129,600 semi-circular scales—a number coinciding with the primal number from his previously written novel set in the primordial chaos.
The beginning of a primal cycle, representing renewal, symbolizes the opening of heaven and earth, aligning with the great Dao.
Mathematicians in Ye Wen's world had discovered the allure of this number, leading to many mathematical formulas related to divine paths—an exceptionally unique number.
Now applied to Gu Yuena, the creation goddess, it was quite fitting.
However, Ye Wen's investigation didn't stop there. He then looked towards Gu Yuena's dragon head, where the scales finally departed from their semi-circular shape, taking on the sharp features of the Gold Dragon King's scales.
Though lacking the mane characteristic of Eastern dragons, the dense interwoven scales and dragon horns added to her majestic and aggressive appearance.
As Ye Wen finished examining Gu Yuena's appearance, she suddenly let out a skyward roar in the desolate universe, proclaiming her return.
But this dragon roar wasn't to declare her existence.
Accompanying Gu Yuena's roar was the core of her being—the life essence dragon pearl that she had spent tens of thousands of years condensing. It surged forth from her massive jaws.
Emitting ten-colored divine light, the dragon pearl unleashed a brilliance surpassing even Gu Yuena herself, truly rivaling the sun's radiance.
Some idlers on Douluo Star could spot this sudden new star in the night sky.
Had Gu Yuena been in the primordial chaos world, her action could be described as a grand divine technique of birthing stars.
However, Ye Wen, at the heart of the breakthrough, knew that Gu Yuena's dantian had truly become a solar star.
As Gu Yuena's dragon pearl lit up, the originally vibrant 129,600 small planes simultaneously emitted profound life law fluctuations.
These nascent small worlds were genuinely beginning to birth life.
This signified that Gu Yuena had truly mastered the ultimate mystery of creation laws—the power of genesis, possessing mythic abilities akin to Nu Wa's transformation of decay into living beings.
Yet, looking at dragon-form Gu Yuena, Ye Wen felt she resembled the ancient candle dragon deity, whose blink brought spring and summer, and whose closed eyes heralded autumn and winter.
Seeing Gu Yuena still immersed in her law comprehension, Ye Wen and Na'er exchanged glances, continuing their roles as her guardians.
However, Ye Wen and Na'er overlooked something: Gu Yuena's mastery of creation laws, or rather, her newly forged path of world-creation, was far more complex than Na'er's elemental laws.
It encompassed Na'er's elemental foundation, evolving further to give rise to myriad beings and various laws. Its complexity even surpassed the cycle laws—or perhaps cycle laws were part of creation laws.
Thus, despite appearing to be in the final stages of law comprehension, Gu Yuena's current contemplation lasted much longer than her previous dragon egg phase. A full century passed before Gu Yuena fully regained consciousness from this breakthrough.
As the divine light receded, the colossal dragon coiled in the cosmic void spiraled and eventually transformed into a peerless goddess of equal stature to Ye Wen.
If the silver-haired Gu Yuena was already breathtakingly beautiful, then the Gu Yuena who broke through to King of God Kings, exuding a high-cold demeanor with floor-length hair shimmering in ten colors against a silver base, her eyes sparkling like diamond stars, was even more captivating.
Gu Yuena, now in human form, hadn't yet realized how long she had secluded herself. However, upon seeing Na'er's noticeably protruding abdomen, her expression turned strange.
"I thought my breakthrough and comprehension took a long time, but it seems it hasn't been even a year," Gu Yuena blurted out.
Ye Wen and Na'er, about to offer congratulatory words, instantly facepalmed.
Na'er spoke first, "You guessed wrong, Sister. Your breakthrough to King of God Kings took over a hundred years! Don't think my belly isn't big yet—I've been pregnant for over a hundred years, and it looks like it'll take another century for the baby to come out. Truly a home-loving little one. Looks like this child will surely surpass Tiansheng."
Seeing Na'er proudly caressing her belly with affection, Gu Yuena's expression stiffened.
Though calling each other sisters, they had always been at odds unless their common interests were threatened, making any conversation strained.
Once, Na'er's cultivation was lowly, and her lineage was human, resulting in her bearing a child with Ye Wen after only ten months.
Gu Yuena, though appearing human, was essentially a dragon. The child she bore, Ye Tiansheng, came quickly but was born through oviparity (egg) after a hundred years of gestation.
Though Ye Tiansheng was born later, his talent was among the top of Ye Wen's children, having already broken through to Supreme God King. His inherited god position was the Dragon God's creation god seat—though its core laws were somewhat flawed, under Ye Wen's guidance, Ye Tiansheng forged a new path, becoming one of the top ten strongest in the Douluo civilization.
Excluding age and gestation time, Ye Tianluo, despite his excellent talent, was overshadowed by his lazy personality, which made Na'er feel inferior to Gu Yuena.
Now, with her breakthrough to King of God Kings and pregnancy with Ye Wen, another supreme King of God Kings, lasting so long, the child's potential would undoubtedly allow her to redeem herself, hence her proud demeanor.
Though shown off by Na'er, the century-long intense law comprehension had made Gu Yuena's temperament increasingly calm. She gracefully looked at Ye Wen.
"Husband, it seems you didn't idle while I was in seclusion." Gu Yuena smiled faintly.
Ye Wen rolled his eyes. He knew well the history of rivalry between Na'er and Gu Yuena, so he certainly didn't want to get dragged into their squabble.
Besides, pregnancy wasn't something he controlled. For mortals, it was manageable, but for top-tier powerhouses, it was entirely random!
Ye Wen retorted, "Alright, you've both broken through, why are you still so jealous?
Isn't Na'er's child your child too? From a bloodline perspective, you're practically the same person. Don't think that separating your connection means you're truly disconnected. Do you intend to never see each other again until death?"
As the head of the household, Ye Wen finally exerted his authority, ending the verbal battle between the two women.
At this point, the seemingly ethereal Gu Yuena finally showed a hint of petulance, pouting slightly, adding a touch of earthly charm.
"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you today since it's a happy occasion."
Then Ye Wen tugged at Na'er beside him, signaling her to reconcile with Gu Yuena.
Though their relationship was strained, it was merely a habit of bickering over the years. Deep down, they cared for each other. So, Na'er obediently bowed her head.
"Sister, don't be angry. When the little one is born, you can play with him."
Unborn child: :D? My dear mothers, you think you're great and noble, using me as a peace offering, huh?
Feeling the gentle movement from her belly, Na'er blushed, and Ye Wen and Gu Yuena also detected the unborn child's discontent, bursting into giggles together.
Primordial sacred beings had their mysteries. After a hundred years of gestation, though not fully formed, Na'er's child already possessed its own wisdom.
Following this breakthrough, Gu Yuena engaged in doctrinal discussions, drawing nourishment from Ye Wen and Na'er's cultivation insights to prepare for further advancement.
