Chapter 179
In an instant, the sky that had been shrouded by the "underworld breath" was torn open, creating a huge hole spanning ten kilometers, and an ancient, oppressive aura spread toward the ground.
The "Law of Rock" expanded in the sky, and the air beneath seemed to solidify.
Faced with such immense pressure, everything on the ground appeared as fragile as paper.
A colossal "Meteor of Judgment," comprised of several kilometers of rock imbued with the "Law of Rock," descended from the sky.
All beings on the ground were awestruck by this sight.
This was more shocking and tangible than the burning skyline.
"The stars in the sky have fallen!"
"The sky is breaking apart!"
King Douya was drenched in sweat as he watched the massive star descend.
Wasn't this the mythical scene he had glimpsed from the ancient aura of Rex Lapis?
"This is the power of the true Lord God."
It was far beyond simply being a god.
At this moment, Abe Seimei felt true terror.
In his eyes, it wasn't just a star falling from the sky but a moon occupying all his vision.
"How can this be... I am supposed to be supreme..."
Under the overwhelming power of this ancient "Meteor of Judgment," Abe Seimei struggled but could not escape its range.
The air around him grew thicker, as if he were being buried under heavy layers of earth.
**Rumble, rumble, rumble!**
The colossal meteor struck the ground, causing the entire Kyoto region to rise and ripple outward like waves. The Chicxulub meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs on Earth was around ten kilometers in diameter. Although this "Meteor of Judgment" wasn't as large, nor did it fall with the same velocity, it was still enough to devastate the territory of a medium-sized nation.
All across the world, humans and yokai alike watched as the horizon distorted, and the earth surged high like a massive splash caused by a boulder.
The War of the Gods had ended ten days ago, but monsters and humans were still discussing the aftermath.
Kyoto had become a vast basin, surrounded by towering mountains.
Clouds were now trapped between the peaks, and daily rainfall filled the basin. Perhaps, in a few decades, this area would transform into a massive inland sea.
The entire mortal realm was now unified under the nation of "Liyue."
Yokai and humans coexisted peacefully within the order established by "Rex Lapis."
Without war or chaos, yokai born of human resentment and fear could no longer be born.
The existing yokai were beings that did not require human negativity to exist.
After the world's unification, yokai and humans spontaneously erected huge statues of the gods throughout the land, much like the "Statues of the Seven" in Teyvat.
**Sky Island**
Takumi, sitting on the Heavenly Throne, held his chin in thought as he felt the power from both worlds flowing into him.
The "Original Law Ring," "Abyss Law Ring," and "Divine Wheel" alternated behind him.
"The power of the three Eternal Thrones converges within me. The 'Original Law Ring' can be merged with the 'Divine Wheel.' After all, they both represent the sum of the world's laws. However, the 'Abyss Law Ring' cannot be merged."
The "Abyss Law Ring" represented all the darkness and negativity in the world. It could absorb the negativity of the world on its own and become stronger. The more light the world had, the deeper its shadows.
"Fortunately, Teyvat had already annexed two other worlds, and its overall strength had grown enough. Otherwise, I might not have been able to take over the world of Inuyasha."
Annexation of worlds is essentially the strong overtaking the weak.
Only stronger rules can assimilate weaker ones, or else they risk being assimilated instead.
This is a dangerous process.
Teyvat and Inuyasha's worlds were of a similar level, but Teyvat was in the advanced stage while Inuyasha's world was at a lower stage.
Teyvat had two Eternal Thrones and two subordinate worlds. Even though its rules were not as complete as Inuyasha's, they still held a higher position.
"System, begin settlement."
The system's voice responded.
"Beep! Settlement beginning."
"Beep! Host has become the 'Eternal Throne' of Inuyasha's world, gaining control of all its rules."
"Beep! Acquired 100% faith from humans and yokai in Inuyasha's world."
"Beep! The 'Immortal' system is now the sole promotion system for yokai."
"Beep! Teyvat's influence has expanded to 98% awareness in Inuyasha's world."
"Beep! Teyvat's influence over Inuyasha's world has reached 95%."
"Beep! Acquired 100% authority over Inuyasha's world."
Takumi stretched out his hand, and a projection of Inuyasha's world appeared before him.
The world of Inuyasha was a typical three-tiered structure.
The top level was "Takamagahara," the middle was the "Earthly Realm," and below lay "Yomi," the underworld.
"System, calculate the most favorable annexation options."
"Beep! Calculation complete."
"The system recommends splitting Inuyasha's world."
"Split 1: Merge the empty space of Takamagahara into Teyvat's starry sky."
"Split 2: Separate the Underworld and merge it into the void space between Teyvat and the Red Moon, forming the reincarnation system of Teyvat."
"Split 3: Merge Yomi into the Red Moon to enhance the strength of the Abyss."
"Split 4: Turn the Earthly Realm of Inuyasha into a subordinate plane of Teyvat."
Takumi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the system's plan to split Inuyasha's world.
A few mere words determined the fate of an entire world that would now be divided.
After separating the essential parts, Takamagahara and Yomi, the Inuyasha world would be reduced from a high-level world capable of producing an "Eternal Throne" to just a plane slightly better than the world of Akame ga Kill.
Though Takumi didn't want to dismantle Inuyasha's world, annexing two worlds at the same level required such division.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Inuyasha's world. Though I have become your Eternal Throne, I have no choice but to dismantle you. After all, you are weaker compared to Teyvat."
Takumi pressed the judgment button for Inuyasha's world without hesitation.
"Initiating 'Annexation Process B'."
