Chapter 312

The phantom of the 'Teyvat Universe' erupted with unimaginable suction.

Like a black hole in the universe, it continuously absorbed the power of the Red Dragon God Emperor who was bound to the "God Ring." Not only that, but even the "dimensional gap" around the "God Ring" was being pulled in as well.

Despite the Teyvat Universe's aggressive suction, the dimensional gap remained vast and seemingly unaffected, replenishing itself in less than ten seconds. It was as if a mere scoop of water had been taken from an endless ocean, with no discernible change.

The Red Dragon God Emperor felt her very existence being squeezed away, and fear appeared in her crimson-golden eyes. She was unafraid of being killed or subdued—as the incarnation of truth, she would be resurrected as long as the truth remained. But her very essence, her truth, was being consumed, which made her fear from the bottom of her soul. This was not merely submission—this was annihilation.

"What are you doing? Stop! Stop! I have put down my dignity and surrendered to you! Stop!" The Red Dragon God Emperor's already weakened voice broke into hysterics in the face of this existential threat. She struggled, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move even an inch.

Takumi clicked his tongue. "Just be quiet and obedient. It'll be over soon," he said as he extended his palm towards her and closed his eyes. The suction from the Teyvat Universe increased severalfold.

"Roar—!" The desperate roar of the Red Dragon God Emperor echoed throughout the dimensional gap and resonated within the DXD World, allowing all the god-level beings in that world to hear it.

From Takumi's perspective, the 'Dream Truth' gradually integrated into the Teyvat Universe. The barriers of Teyvat were soon covered with a shimmering, colorful aurora, which coalesced into a dreamlike atmosphere. As the Dream Truth flowed into Teyvat and merged with it, the dreams and thoughts of all beings in the universe began to strengthen its quality.

The concepts of 'reality' and 'illusion' flourished within Teyvat. The growth of this concept meant that stories like "Ma Liang and the Magic Brush" could come true—things drawn on paper could be brought into reality. In essence, 'Dream Truth' meant breaking the dimensional wall. However, this version of the Dream Truth was still of the lowest quality, and there were too few worlds that contained Dream Truth.

It wasn't just the Dream Truth that the Teyvat Universe was absorbing. The dimensional gap itself was expanding beyond the universe's barriers. If one could traverse the Quantum Sea, they would see that the barriers of this small universe were being slowly engulfed by abstract concepts different from the Quantum Sea. The speed of this expansion exceeded the speed of light, and it took nearly an hour to completely envelop the small universe. After all, Teyvat had grown to the size of a small star system.

The dimensional gap continued expanding even after fully encompassing the Teyvat Universe. If the Teyvat Universe had been the size of a football before, it was now the size of a round table. The rules of the Quantum Sea no longer affected Teyvat, and instead, Teyvat began to affect the Quantum Sea.

In the world view of "Tree and Sea," which is multilayered, the Teyvat Universe, now wrapped in the dimensional gap, had become independent from it, establishing its own unique worldview. Even if the "Tree and Sea" expelled Teyvat from its world view, Teyvat could still safely exist within the super dimension.

When the Teyvat Universe grew to a level that could trigger rejection by the Tree and Sea, it would likely reach the scale of a single universe. At that point, the Teyvat Universe would be too powerful for Tree and Sea to simply expel.

The Quantum Sea, a vast ocean of nutrients, was now accessible to Teyvat. Not tapping into it would be a waste.

The body of the Red Dragon God Emperor gradually became illusory as the Dream Truth was continuously drained from her. Just as she was about to lose consciousness, her existence was gradually returned to her body. This brought her back to her senses, and she realized what had happened. The part of her that had been returned was now marked by another world, and her existence was now connected to this other world.

She had changed from the guardian of the DXD World to the guardian of the Teyvat Universe.

The crimson-gold eyes of the Red Dragon God Emperor slowly regained their luster as she looked at the "only god" who had orchestrated all this with a complicated expression. She had become the guardian of his world—his property. She was the incarnation of truth, and now the Dream Truth had been claimed by Takumi. This meant that all her power and her very life were in his hands.

At the same time, she felt the strength of the world she was now bound to. This was not just a collection of worlds; it was a massive, unified entity with solid rules and immense power. In comparison, a world in the DXD universe was equivalent to just ten planets in his universe.

Once Teyvat had absorbed all it could, it ceased consuming the dimensional gap. Takumi felt satisfaction at the new Dream Truth and Dimensional Power he had gained.

"I've grown even stronger," he thought, a hint of weariness mixed with pride. "It's really tough, working this hard to grow stronger."

Takumi put away the divine ring, and with it, the truth that had suppressed the dimensional gap disappeared. The Red Dragon God Emperor regained her freedom. She looked at Takumi with a complex gaze, slowly lowered her head, and whispered in a low voice.

"Master...?"
