My Talent's Name Is Generator

Chapter 1203: Changes

The first thing I decided to do was find Vivi, Steve, and North. I needed to know what had happened while I was gone, and more importantly, I wanted to see them with my own eyes. Fortunately, the bond between Vivi and me had never disappeared. It was faint across the vastness of the cosmos, but to my current perception, distance had become a rather meaningless concept.

I closed my eyes for a moment and followed that connection. A vague direction immediately appeared within my mind. They were no longer in the Blue Spiral Galaxy. They had moved into another galaxy entirely, seemingly continuing the campaign.

I opened my eyes and smiled faintly.

”Then let’s go.”

My body moved.

There was no explosion of energy, nor did I create some enormous spatial disturbance. I simply stepped forward, and the void beneath my feet collapsed into a straight passage. My figure shot through it like a meteor released from the heavens, tearing across the darkness of the cosmos at a speed that would have been unimaginable to me only a short time ago.

The stars blurred.

I had initially expected the journey to take a considerable amount of time. After all, I was crossing the vastness of an entire galaxy, and even my previous understanding of space had taught me that such distances were not something that could simply be ignored. Yet after traveling for only a short while, I began to realize just how drastically my strength had changed.

I slowed down.

My perception spread outward, covering an enormous region of space, and I quietly calculated the distance I had already crossed. My eyes widened slightly.

If I maintained my current speed, I could cross the entire Blue Spiral Galaxy in roughly five minutes.

Five minutes.

The realization left me momentarily speechless.

That was without using Echo Reversion.

I was simply moving through the void using my own physical strength, Soul Force, and control over Spacetime.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

”So this is what it means to reach the extreme of the Saint realm.”

Even that description felt somewhat inadequate.

I accelerated again.

The void distorted around me as my body crossed enormous distances in an instant. Space itself seemed to become a road beneath my feet, bending naturally to accommodate my movement. Whenever I encountered an unstable region, I simply passed through it. Whenever a spatial storm appeared in my path, the storm itself seemed insignificant compared to the force surrounding my body.

And as I traveled, I began observing the worlds scattered throughout the galaxy. I wanted to see what changes had occurred since I had defeated all the eternal forces in the galaxy.

There were countless civilizations.

Some belonged to races I had encountered before. Others were completely unfamiliar. Naga civilizations occupied enormous worlds, their cities stretching across endless seas. Demon races controlled barren planets filled with volcanic mountains and crimson skies. There were Ferans living on enormous forest worlds, beast races occupying floating continents, insectoid civilizations burrowing beneath the surfaces of planets, and countless other species I had never encountered.

Some worlds were peaceful.

Others were not.

I saw armies fighting across continents. I saw civilizations battling over resources. I saw powerful warriors tearing apart mountains during conflicts between sects. I even saw several planets whose inhabitants were fighting against Abominations that had descended into their territories.

But there was something that immediately caught my attention.

There were no Phantoms.

Not a single one.

The realization made my expression gradually relax.

The battlefield had changed.

The Eternals were no longer capable of continuously producing new Phantoms and Abominations in the same manner as before. The absence of Phantoms was proof that the destruction of the contract and the changes in the Null Realm had already begun affecting the Prime Universe.

The Abominations that remained were different. Many were simply being used by various civilizations as training targets, hunting resources, or dangerous creatures inhabiting forbidden regions. They were still terrifying to ordinary cultivators, but compared to what I had witnessed before, they were no longer the overwhelming tide that threatened to drown the entire universe.

I continued forward without interfering. There were wars happening everywhere, but not every war required my intervention.

The galaxy was enormous. I couldn’t become the guardian of every civilization simply because I had grown stronger.

Besides, most of these conflicts had nothing to do with the Eternals.

I continued traveling.

At one point, my perception brushed against a dead planet drifting through the void. There was nothing living on it. Just a barren sphere of rock floating silently through space.

I looked at it for a moment before an idle thought entered my mind.

I raised my hand.

My fingers slowly curled into a fist. Space around the planet suddenly compressed.

There was no massive explosion.

Instead, the surrounding void folded inward from all directions, and the enormous planet began collapsing under an invisible force. Mountains, oceans of frozen minerals, and the planet’s entire crust were crushed simultaneously as the laws governing space itself tightened around it.

Within a few breaths, the planet disappeared. It had been reduced to nothing more than countless fragments of dust drifting through the void.

I stared at my fist.

Then I laughed.

”That was a little excessive.”

I hadn’t even used an Absolute Art.

I had simply compressed space.

The difference between my current strength and what I possessed before entering the Null Realm was becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend.

My physical body alone had reached the third rank of Saint-equivalent strength. My Soul Force had undergone a qualitative transformation, and my Soul Sphere had begun producing Golden Soul Force. My Laws had reached their final Major Law stage, while my Domain had already crossed into a level that ordinary Saints could barely comprehend.

Most importantly, I now understood the threshold separating Saints from Demigods. I hadn’t crossed it yet.

But I could see it.

And I was standing directly beneath that final threshold.

A Half-Step Demigod.

That was the only description that felt appropriate.

I wasn’t truly a Demigod. I hadn’t established my Authority, nor had I completed the foundation required to step into that realm. But if an ordinary Peak Saint stood before me now, I doubted they would even be able to survive my pressure.

Perhaps that was why my journey felt so different. Before entering the Null Realm, traveling through the cosmos had required caution.

Now, the cosmos itself seemed to yield.

I continued tearing through the void, following the faint connection I shared with Vivi. With every passing moment, her presence became clearer.

They were getting closer.

I wondered what their expressions would be when they saw how much I had changed.

”Let’s see how surprised you are.”

With that thought, I accelerated once more, my figure transforming into a streak of light as I crossed the darkness between the stars.
