"Come back."
Standing still, Gu Chuan merely spoke a single word as he gazed at the fleeing Toxic Doomsday.
Supernatural Power — True Lies!
Rumble~~
The moment the words left his mouth, the Laws of Dao within a radius of countless kilometers surged, centered around Gu Chuan. The entire area trembled with endless Chaos Energy.
"How is this possible?!"
The Toxic Doomsday, which had transformed into billions of strands of toxic gas, was shocked to discover that all its dispersed clones were now returning involuntarily—against its own will.
In an instant, the billions of clones were forcibly pulled back, as if time had reversed to the very moment the Toxic Doomsday first appeared.
"Chaos City Lord, what... what did you do to me?!"
It couldn't believe it. It was a Doomsday-level entity, equivalent to the power of an entire universe—yet a single word from this Chaos City Lord left it completely helpless, immobilized by supernatural force.
It was ridiculous, impossible to believe—unless one experienced it firsthand.
But what the Toxic Doomsday didn't understand was the current terrifying power of Gu Chuan.
Even back when he was a Primordial Chaos Saint, his True Lies had already reached the power level of a Doomsday. Now, after ascending to the realm of Lord of the Universe, possessing ninety-nine Universe Samsara, he was standing just a step away from becoming a Master of a Medium Universe.
More than that, he had seized control of a Chaos Universe, allowing him to freely wield its Origin Energy, exponentially boosting his strength.
Every supernatural power cast by Gu Chuan had reached Doomsday level, unmatched in potency.
Even Doomsday entities, while inside the Chaos Universe, were incapable of escaping his control. Their resistance was simply futile.
"Seal."
Without wasting words, Gu Chuan raised a finger.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Toxic Doomsday was sealed. Its form was bound by countless Dao Chains, covered with billions of layers of sealing techniques.
All the toxins it carried were suppressed. Unable to escape, it lay imprisoned within the Seal of Chaos, powerless to resist.
"Despicable Chaos Lord!"
The Toxic Doomsday let out a furious roar, but it was futile. With a wave of his hand, Gu Chuan threw it into his Abyss Cage.
Clatter~~
At that moment, the toxins previously hidden across the heavens and myriad worlds were also neutralized. With the sealing of the Toxic Doomsday, those lingering poisons quickly dissipated—purged entirely by Gu Chuan.
"By the way, there's still the Grotesque Doomsday..."
Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes. He wanted to find the core of the Grotesque Doomsday, and completely seal it.
"Hm? I can't find it?!"
To his surprise, he couldn't locate the core of the Grotesque Doomsday. Unlike the Toxic or Puppet Doomsday, this one had evolved far too long and far too deep into the heavens.
Over time, countless grotesque beings had been born across the myriad worlds—each one a clone of the Grotesque Doomsday. To destroy it, he would need to eliminate every grotesque. But that was virtually impossible.
"It seems... the Grotesque Doomsday has fully merged with the heavens and myriad worlds."
Gu Chuan clenched his fists. To him, the Grotesque Doomsday was like a cancer deeply rooted within the body of the universe—cut it, and it simply grows back.
It had become part of the very structure of the world, its fate interwoven with that of all creation.
To destroy the Grotesque Doomsday, one would have to annihilate all life across the heavens. But Gu Chuan could never take such a step—it would ruin everything he had worked for, and it wasn't worth it for just one Doomsday entity.
Besides, the Grotesque Doomsday's existence wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
In truth, grotesques were merely manifestations of the world's negative energy—symbols of imbalance.
Where there is light, there must be shadow. If the gods are light, then the grotesques are darkness.
Thus, the existence of grotesques could actually help the world grow. If a balance could be maintained between grotesques and living beings, it would benefit the entire Chaos Universe.
"Grotesque Doomsday, huh? Let it remain. The living need enemies too."
A gleam appeared in Gu Chuan's eyes. He decided not to eliminate the Grotesque, Zerg, Storm, Flood, Virus, Petrification, or any other Doomsday remnants.
These lingering threats would keep the gods under constant pressure.
Without powerful enemies, the beings of the universe would grow complacent, slowing evolution.
Gu Chuan knew that in the near future, the Eater would return with its companions. The enemies would no longer be mere doomsday-level threats, but billions of them.
That future war would far surpass the Era of Chaos in brutality—and nobody knew how many gods would fall.
To prepare for such an apocalypse, the people needed to grow stronger—now.
Otherwise, when the Eater breaches the Gate of Eternal Life, the heavens and myriad worlds would be defenseless, wiped out in an instant.
By keeping these lingering enemies, Gu Chuan ensured that beings remained alert—always evolving, never slacking.
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, Gu Chuan sensed a shift.
"Time flies... has the Battle of Chaos Geniuses already ended?"
While he was ascending to Lord of the Universe and sealing the Doomsdays, the Battle of Chaos Geniuses had reached its climax—countless geniuses waging war for supremacy.
Now, it was finally over. The top 3,000 geniuses had been decided—monstrous talents from all corners of the heavens—now inducted into the World Bank, Giant Axe Arena, and the Chaos Mercenary Association.
"Interesting. Let's go see who made it to the finals."
Gu Chuan smiled faintly. His figure flickered and vanished, instantly reappearing in Chaos City.
