Chapter 86 - Return to the Heavenly Realm

"Get up, honey~" Enis called softly in my ear. A new day had begun. I was still groggy from last night's heavy drinking, not fully recovered from the hangover. Though there was no sunlight outside, my biological clock urged me to rise. I stretched lazily and slowly got dressed. Just then, a familiar voice echoed in my ear, "'Your Excellency, could you come to the temple today? I await you there.'""Alright, I understand. I'll be there on time," I replied, surprised they'd come for me so soon."What's going on? Why are the people from the divine realm looking for you?" Enis asked."I'm not sure. I'll find out after breakfast. If I come back late, just take care of lunch yourself. There's plenty of food in the fridge," I told her."No way. If you're not eating, I'm not eating either. I've got nothing to do today, so I'll tend to the farm," Enis said."Alright, but you still need to eat three meals a day. It's better for your health. I'll be back as soon as I can." With that, we headed to the dining room for breakfast.After breakfast, Enis saw me to the door. "Be careful, honey. I'll wait for you," she said, giving me a kiss."Don't worry, I'll be back soon," I replied, then teleported toward the divine realm.I arrived at the familiar main gate of the temple. The doors slowly opened, and I walked the well-known path to the grand hall. "Welcome back," Aotian greeted with a smile."Greetings, Lord of the Gods!" I bowed respectfully."No need for formalities. I called you here today to share some information. Last time, we parted in haste, and there were things left unsaid," Aotian said."Oh? What is it, Lord?" I asked, puzzled.Aotian glanced at the others, then spoke gravely, "Some time ago, the cosmic energy fluctuations you caused rippled across multiple universes. Are you aware of the gravity of this event?"I scratched my head, embarrassed. "I was overwhelmed by the pain of losing my wife and lost control. I don't fully recall what I did. Please forgive me, Lord.""As you know, Cosmic Force is the measure of this universe. You come from a planet called Earth, a current nexus of light and dark forces—that's a story for another time. Because your soul is filled with pure goodness and righteousness, after your accidental death, you were chosen as the Star Child and sent to the planet Duoduo to carry out a mission to save it. That world lost its planetary god and has been in chaotic disarray. I reviewed that battle through the Eye of Time. Your enemy had a mere 3 Cosmic Force, but because they took your wife's life, you went berserk. Your energy surged to an unprecedented 500 Cosmic Force—a singular event in universal history. Even I, who have lived for tens of billions of years, have only reached 1000 Cosmic Force. This incident has been classified as a top-tier cosmic anomaly. After discussions with the divine council, we've decided to regulate this energy to prevent another catastrophic impact that could threaten other cosmic civilizations. Furthermore, this energy wave has reached other dimensional universes, and their forces are likely stirring. Our universe is now in a precarious state. Worse still, the three Primordial Gods who created the universe have been awakened by this disturbance. These Primordial Gods are pure energy entities, devoid of consciousness or morality, existing since the dawn of creation for the sole purpose of creation and destruction. Each time an old universe is destroyed, a new one is born. The previous universe was annihilated, and our current universe has existed for over 40 billion years. I hope it can continue to thrive, not fall to this calamity. So, I've summoned you today not to imprison you but to help you grow in the divine realm. You must not stop at 500 Cosmic Force. You must surpass me, stand against other universal forces, and even… surpass the Primordial Gods!"Aotian's words stunned the gathered divine officials. "Surpass the Primordial Gods? Is that even possible?!" they murmured among themselves.I was equally baffled. "Sorry, Lord, but what's the Cosmic Force of these Primordial Gods?" I asked."The Primordial Gods are a trinity, inseparable. In terms of Cosmic Force, one is 10 million, and together, they are 30 million," Aotian replied."Thirty million? Haha, I couldn't dream of reaching such heights! Lord, you'd better find someone else," I said, shaking my head and waving off the idea.
