In the Galactic Era, whenever a Divine Skill emerges, the "sea of universal laws" trembles—a phenomenon created by the cosmos itself, signifying its recognition of the skill.
"The tremor in the law sea clearly indicates that a new Divine Skill has emerged. Too bad we can't pinpoint the location; otherwise, I'd be more than happy to observe it firsthand."
"Ordinary Divine Skills aren't particularly useful to us. Only those that cause five or more tremors are worth noting."
"When the law sea resonates like a deep bell, only those who've reached the Void Stage and beyond can hear it. This sound will likely draw the attention of Void-level experts across Earth, potentially sparking conflict."
"I wonder what tier this skill will be. If it's below five tremors, the disputes won't be severe. But if it's five or more, even I might have to join the search."
"To me, what's more intriguing than this Divine Skill is the image of the elderly man standing upon the ocean of laws. His appearance doesn't match any ancient deities I know. Perhaps he hails from the Mechanical Civilization over a billion years ago."
As these high-ranking members of the Federation's Alliance of Divinities discussed, a towering figure in gleaming armor stepped out of the swirling space around them. His eyes, as brilliant as stars, were fixed on the law sea and the figure of Laozi in the sky. A look of shock spread across his face.
"This ancient figure… must be from five billion years ago!" the man murmured.
"Golden Sovereign, are you serious? Five billion years?" The other Divinity Alliance members stared in awe.
The man before them was the Golden Sovereign, currently the strongest protector stationed by the Earth Federation.
The Golden Sovereign replied calmly, "The Federation Alliance spans countless star systems. Although Earth is the birthplace of humanity, its current strength is relatively modest within the Federation. Many other worlds often witness signs of ancient Divine Skills emerging due to their relic discoveries. Most of you have spent a long time on Earth and rarely visit other star systems, but I had the rare chance to witness a Divine Skill from five billion years ago emerge on another world. This figure, however, emits an aura even older than what I experienced. This skill might come from the Pre-Universal Civilization, perhaps even earlier..."
"A Divine Skill from the Pre-Universal Civilization? The entire Federation spans countless worlds, yet even Pre-Universal Divine Skills can be counted on one hand. For such a skill to appear on Earth… if news of this spreads, the Federation Alliance will be in uproar," another member remarked in amazement.
Hum! Hum!
The sea of universal laws continued to tremble, resonating like a colossal bell across the Earth's atmosphere.
"Three tremors!"
"Four tremors!"
The Divinity Alliance members and other Void-level experts held their breath, eyes locked on the law sea's movements.
When the fifth tremor sounded, every expert felt their hearts stop.
Five tremors—this signified an exceptionally rare and powerful Divine Skill.
"The phenomenon hasn't ceased… could it be…?"
Some Divinity Alliance members watched, wide-eyed with shock, as the tremors showed no sign of abating.
With the sixth tremor, a seismic shock seemed to ripple through every Void-level expert's heart.
"A skill from the Pre-Universal Civilization typically has at least five tremors. The most powerful skill we know of has nine tremors, considered the pinnacle of Divine Skills. Should it exceed nine, it would be regarded as a Supreme Skill," the Golden Sovereign explained to those around him.
"But Supreme Skills are merely theoretical. As far as we know, no skill of that level has ever emerged in the Federation, right?" another member asked.
"No, Supreme Skills have appeared before… but they weren't created by humanity," the Golden Sovereign replied in a low voice, as if recalling something, before falling silent.
The other Divinity Alliance members understood the Golden Sovereign's meaning and refrained from questioning further.
Hum! Hum!
The seventh tremor. The eighth tremor…
With each tremor, the Earth's strongest felt an intense reverberation within their souls, their breaths quickening in anticipation.
Just as the ninth tremor was about to sound, the figure of Laozi suddenly shattered, and the law sea calmed instantly.
All phenomena vanished.
"Eight tremors… so this Divine Skill is classified as an eighth-tier skill!" one Divinity Alliance member concluded.
"No, it's more than just eighth-tier!" The Golden Sovereign took a deep breath.
"Golden Sovereign, isn't eight tremors supposed to correspond to an eighth-tier skill? Isn't that dictated by the supreme laws of the universe?" one of the members challenged him.
"True, eight tremors indicate an eighth-tier skill. But tell me, how do normal Divine Skill phenomena dissipate after the tremors?" the Golden Sovereign pressed.
"They… fade gradually," the others replied after some thought.
"But how did this phenomenon end?" the Golden Sovereign asked again.
"It shattered all at once!" another Divinity Alliance member answered.
The Golden Sovereign's gaze deepened as he spoke, "When a phenomenon shatters, it means a fragment has emerged, not the complete skill. And if this fragment alone caused eight tremors… do you understand what that implies?"
The other members were well aware of the implications: this meant the original skill could be beyond an eighth-tier Divine Skill—perhaps even ninth-tier, or possibly a Supreme Skill!
Many ancient Divine Skills are discovered only in fragmented forms, concealing their true level to avoid exposure. Such fragments would only display their full power if the remaining portions were found and completed. However, once a Divine Skill manifests, it only triggers phenomena once; any subsequent completion will not produce the same cosmic spectacle.
Without witnessing the complete skill, no one could ascertain its true level, making such fragmented appearances relatively common in the cosmos. Some fragments surfaced naturally, while others were deliberately preserved as fragments.
If this truly was a Supreme Skill, its emergence would shake not only humanity but the entire universe.
