The air tasted like scorched ozone and divine rebellion, thick with the static of a universe rewriting its rules.
Luo Feng knelt at the center of a shattered pantheon altar, his Eclipse Core screaming as:
Fire VE (crimson like sunset arteries)
Frost VE (cerulean like glacial veins)
Lightning VE (golden like captured storms)
Shadow VE (obsidian like void ichor)
Chaos VE (iridescent like broken rainbows)
converged in his sternum.

The Death Queen's nails drew liquid starlight where she gripped his shoulder. "Don't die, darling. I'd have to revive you just to kill you again."
THE TRANSFORMATION
It happened in five world-breaking seconds:
Skin → Celestial Parchment
His flesh became semi-translucent, revealing constellations swimming beneath
Every scar rewritten as tiny event horizons
Blood → Liquid Cosmos
The first drop that hit the ground birthed a micro-galaxy
The Death Queen caught a second drop on her tongue ("Mmm. Explosive.")
Bones → Fractured Divine Edicts
His skeleton glowed with stolen god-words
Li Qing's frost preserved one rib before it could fully transcend
Eyes → Eclipse Proper
Left iris: A dying star
Right iris: A frozen supernova
Gaze alone warped gravity
Voice → Dual-Channel Divine
When he spoke, the Void Emperor's throne cracked somewhere in the distance
"Oops."
THE AFTERSHOCKS
Li Qing's Reaction:
Froze a personal iceberg to stand on (avoiding his reality-warping footsteps)
"You're leaking stardust on my clean battlefield."
The Death Queen's Experimentation:
Collected his shed starlight in vials labeled "Apocalypse Perfume"
Later used it to blind a pursuing god
The System's Panic:
[ALERT: USER APPROACHING GODHEAD]
[PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE:
☑ I understand I will lose mortal toilet privileges
☐ I accept that my sneezes may create universes]
THE NEW NORMAL
As the transformation stabilized:
His Shadow gained autonomy (currently doing jazz hands)
