Chapter 1: The Crucible of Creation

Next Chapter

How big is the universe?

Nobody knows.

Just like where the universe came from, it is estimated that even those gods who only exist in myths and legends, high above, may not be able to answer this question.

The vast universe is boundless, and there are countless planes and spaces that exist.

Countless stars formed a group of stars in the empty universe, and these countless star groups were intertwined with each other, forming a huge sea of stars.

With the help of the brilliance of each of these stars, the sea of stars exudes a lonely and eternal light, as if it is silently fighting against the boundless darkness of the universe.

Although each of these stars in the sea of stars is countless times larger than the earth, countless such stars are intertwined and arranged with each other, and the space they occupy is unimaginably vast.

But even so, these behemoths, which have exceeded the academic definition of area and space, are still as small as grains of sand and as small as ants in the face of the immeasurable cardinal number of the universe.

The stars shine at each other, and the sea of stars looks at each other, but this huge black dome painting scroll is not so lonely, but a little more beautiful and dynamic.

Surrounded by countless seas of stars, you can also clearly see several unimaginably large black holes, which appear out of place in the beautiful picture.

These black holes, which can devour everything, hovering so slowly that they are almost indiscernible with the naked eye, but it is this kind of static darkness that makes the brightest stars seem so dim around them.

The black hole is an existence beyond the level of human cognition, in front of it, whether it is time or space, it will be crushed by its inexplicable transcendent power.

There are many opinions about the definition of a black hole, but the most convincing one is that a black hole is the origin of the universe and was formed by the collapse and explosion of a star.

But this theory has not been confirmed, if nothing else, just because the existence of black holes has gone beyond the reach of normal beings, maybe it is not so complicated, it is just a random thing created by the creator of this universe.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

I don't know when and somewhere, in the silent vacuum world, suddenly there are a series of percussion sounds that violate the common sense of physics, echoing in this space for a long time.

This dull loud sound like a collapsing stream contains extremely penetrating power, as if every sound can easily penetrate the sea of stars, penetrate the entire universe, and transmit to the hearts of every living being.

After watching for a long time, I suddenly realized that the source of this sound actually came from a black hole in the sea of stars.

After the black hole, there are actually many planes and spaces parallel to the universe.

A strange creature of unimaginable size, with a brilliant light all over its body, holding a colorful giant hammer in its hand, was facing an incomparably huge irregular planet in front of it, and continued to thrash!

This creature has the most striking features of a sapient being, with eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and a pair of crooked antennae standing sideways beside his ears, revealing his unique identity.

The golden eyes that exuded enough insight into anything stared at the planet in front of him, as if all his attention at the moment was poured into the things of the moment.

The planet, which had been beaten repeatedly, was an irregular polygon, with uneven surfaces and cracks, as if it was about to fall apart.

Every time the giant hammer fell, on the surface of this planet that was as large as several earths, bursting out with ripples of energy that could be seen by the naked eye, and various runes on his body surface also burst out with the continuous bursting of energy ripples, rhythmically flowing out of various brilliance, gorgeous with a bit of weirdness.

The sound produced by each blow of the giant hammer was almost the same, and the force used did not increase or decrease in the slightest due to the continuous increase in the number of strikes.

As the beating process continued, the unevenness on the outside of the star was slowly polished and smoothed, and the cracks on the surface of the body were slowly healed under the catalysis of a force.

It is clear that this creature is using his power to reshape and reshape the planet.

It is unknown how long this mechanical and long thrashing process lasted, and it was not until the planet in front of him was forged into a complete round sphere that the giant hammer slowly stopped.

The moment he stopped, the creature seemed to feel a little tired, and a slight sigh came out of his mouth.

He turned his head slightly to look to the side, only to realize that he was surrounded by broken planets of different sizes, densely packed with countless ones.

What's even more terrifying is that these are only a small part of it, and in the deep darkness around him, where he can't see it, there are many more planetary groups that need to be repaired by him.

Slightly helpless, he glanced at the "work" in front of him, which seemed to never see the end, and the creature finally put away his mood, and the giant hammer was picked up again, and he slammed it towards the void.

As soon as the tapping action was completed, a large ball of brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from the giant hammer, and the light was like lightning, and it spread out to the space around him like thunder.

For a moment, the dark space where the creature was located suddenly brightened as day, and it was so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

The bright light lasted for less than half a second, and then suddenly disappeared, but when the light dissipated, I found that in this space, which was originally not a little bright, there were suddenly hundreds of planets emitting bright stars of various colors, shining with each other.

Between the illumination of each other, it is obvious that there are lights connected between these stars, which makes this place not so deep and lonely.

From a distance, these hundreds of planets are connected and combined, and it is actually a huge furnace pattern that resembles a circle.

The creature held the hammer in his hand, his gaze was full of indescribable admiration, this admiration was not only from the outside, but from the real heart, even if this crucible pattern had been seen by him more than a million times, but every time it appeared, there was an indescribable force that prompted him to react like this, which was simply irresistible.

After doing some essential rituals, the creature tossed the previously forged planet high, and when the planet floated silently to a certain height, the furnace suddenly flashed, engulfing the planet and bringing it into a corner of the universe.

This is a place known as the "Creation Crucible", which was created by the supreme god of the universe, the creator god, and this creature is the ancient giant god, and it is rumored that when the creation god appeared, he also appeared.

The crucible of creation can be called the origin of the universe, because everything that exists in the universe comes from here, including all planets, all planes, all laws, and all living things, and the Elder Titan is the creator of all of them.

Through constant beating and shaping, he created everything that the universe has now.

The divine power possessed by the Elder Titan is incomparable.

His decision directly affects how many planets this sea of stars should have, whether this planet should be destroyed or abandoned, whether there should be a black hole here, and whether there should be life here.

He is one of the few people who controls the universe other than the creator god.

Of course, he is not the only Elder Titan, it is said that under the God of Creation, there are many Elder Titans, who are doing the same thing as this Elder Titan in a certain space and a certain plane.

It's just that no matter how powerful the divine power is, it still seems so vulnerable in the face of eternal loneliness.

The constant beating, the constant repair, the constant plasticity, and the constant repetition of one thing made this ancient giant god with supreme divine power begin to become a little irritable.

He began to be a little disgusted with what he had done, and he even felt the urge not to follow the rules that the God of Creation had set for him.

He began to reshape these broken planets as he wished, hoping to attract the attention of the creator god through these wrong actions.

He did not hesitate to punish him by the creator god for doing so, but later he realized that what he had done was actually meaningless to him.

Because no matter what mistakes he makes, whether he violates the rules set by the creator god at the beginning, no one will notice them, and no one will be able to notice them.

All he got was endless darkness and endless thrashing!

。。。。。。

I don't know how long it took, but a sudden strange sound caught the attention of the ancient titans.

Although this voice was very faint, compared to the sound he made when he tempered the astral body, it was almost like the sound of mosquitoes and flies, but it was such a sound that brought an unprecedented shock to his heart.

How many years?

In this crucible of creation, he had never heard any other sound except the perennial sound of tempering in his ears.

He put down the thrashing in his hand, threw down the giant hammer, and began to float towards the countless planets around him.

The planets were immersed in infinite darkness, silently waiting for the hammer of the Elder Titan to descend, and some of them had even fallen apart completely.

Far away, a white light suddenly flickered in the darkness, dim and erratic, but in the absolute darkness of space, it was enough to serve as a beacon to guide the Elder Titan forward.

Elder Titan's heart began to beat wildly, and the tension that appeared in his body now was something he had never felt before, not even when he first entered this creation furnace and successfully forged a planet for the first time hundreds of millions of years ago.

He quickened his pace, smashing the countless planets around him into chaos, and even some of the planets collided with each other because of his overly brutal way of advancing.

When the volume of a materialized thing exceeds a certain limit, a small displacement may cause immeasurable consequences.

It's like the result of two soccer balls and two earths colliding, and the impact effect of the latter is definitely much more terrifying than the former.

The stars around the Elder Titan were split and destroyed on a massive scale, and the sky of rubble and broken planets filled the entire space in an instant.

But the Elder Titan chose to ignore it and continued to lean towards the white light.

When he got close enough, he realized that the light had come from an immensely large transparent star.

This transparent sphere, which resembles jade, emits a holy white light on the left half, while the right half is the other extreme, dark as ink, and pitch black and abnormal.

The white light and the dark light intertwined and fought each other in the eyes of the ancient titans, and from time to time you could hear the dull sound of these two rays colliding with each other in the stars.

It seems that the two forces hidden in the astral body are constantly clashing and colliding.

After staring at the orb in front of him for a long time, the expression of the ancient giant god slowly changed.

With his unique sense of life, the Elder Titan can conclude that there seem to be two ancient lifeforms with super-intelligent intelligence imprisoned on this planet.

Moreover, judging from the energy fluctuations refracted from the stars, it can be judged that the energy contained in the bodies of these two beings has been so terrifying that even the ancient giant gods feel faintly afraid.
