Inside the collapsing Domain World, Alex's entire body was trembling constantly. The terrifying devouring power continued to spread from him like a violent storm. Every inch of his skin seemed to burn and tear apart, and every vein inside him felt like it would burst at any moment.

But then, something strange began to happen.

Alex suddenly felt the unbearable pain slowly starting to fade away. The sharp burning feeling turned into something warm. The agony that had been torturing his body moments ago began to melt into a comfortable sensation.

Alex was confused, for he couldn't understand why the situation inside his body changed like this all of a sudden.

His breathing had already steadied in just a few moments, and his expression slowly relaxed.

It felt like a warm current was flowing gently through his veins, healing everything that had been damaged inside his body.

"Ugh!"

A faint groan of satisfaction escaped his lips. The feeling was so good that he almost forgot about everything else.

It was as if every single cell in his body was being reborn and filled with life. The chaotic energy around him was now being absorbed into his body, making him stronger and stronger.

Alex could feel his cultivation rising rapidly.

In just a few moments, his strength shot up. His body was brimming with endless energy, and his aura grew denser and more powerful with every passing second.

Everything around him was being devoured rapidly. In fact, he was actually devouring the Domain World itself, which caused it to reach the state where it started crumbling slowly.

He could feel himself getting closer and closer to the peak of the True Divinity Stage.

It was at this moment that Alex suddenly felt something enter his body. It was an extremely pure force.

That pure force surged through his meridians and went straight toward the golden-red energy, which was the Devouring God Source. The moment the two energies met, the pure force began colliding with the Devouring God Source repeatedly, sending shockwaves through Alex's body.

"What is this…?" Alex thought weakly.

Even through the chaos inside his body, he could see faint lights shining inside him. When he looked closer with his spiritual sense, he noticed hundreds of glowing symbols floating within his body. Each of these symbols was releasing a pure light that pushed against the Devouring God Source's power.

Unfortunately, Alex wasn't in a state to carefully inspect or analyze these symbols or use his system to look at their information. His focus was on the changes happening inside his body.

The two forces clashed again and again. The devouring power was trying to expand, and the pure force was pushing it back.

Alex could have tried to fight against those symbols or push them out of his body since they were clearly foreign, but deep down, he didn't feel any danger from them.

Instead, he sensed that they were helping him.

He could feel their intent—they were trying to calm the Devouring God Source, to stop it from destroying everything, and to bring it under control.

And they were actually succeeding.

Due to all that previous devouring, Alex's mind was filled with the comfortable sensation and rapid rise in his strength in a matter of moments. It can be said that he was losing his ability to think things through due to the devouring force, which was helping him increase his strength quickly by devouring everything around him. His judgment was clouded.

However, now that the pure force originating from hundreds of symbols slowly forced the Devouring God Essence to calm down, Alex's mind started becoming clear.

If he were fully clear-headed, he could have thought of a question.

What are these symbols and the pure force? How could they go against and even defeat the Devouring God Essence, which is clearly so powerful and dangerous that it was considered one of the universe's forbidden treasures?

Unfortunately, Alex was still not in a state to think of this question.

Gradually, the devouring energy stopped raging wildly and began to calm down. That was when Alex's mind truly became clear, and he overcame the pleasant sensation that came along with the power of devouring.

It has to be known that anything replicated by Alex's Replication System would be perfectly under his control, no matter how strong or chaotic it was.

As soon as Alex regained full consciousness, he called upon his control over the Devouring God Source.

Immediately, the energy responded to him. The violent aura subsided like waves retreating from the shore.

Perhaps because both Devouring God Sources—the one from Draven and the one replicated by Alex—had already fused into one, they now acted as a single entity.

And in that instant, the devouring force that had been exploding outward from Alex's body suddenly stopped and began pulling back, returning into him.

The terrifying suction force vanished from the outside world. The space around Alex grew still once more.

But everything was not over.

Now that Alex's completely stopped the Devouring God Source from devouring anything, it actually began to integrate with his body. Golden-red energy started flowing into every part of him, including his bones, his blood, his flesh, and even his soul.

His skin shimmered faintly with a metallic sheen. His blood turned golden-red. His bones emitted a soft hum, like metal resonating with power. His organs became crystal-clear, filled with vitality and energy.

It was as if his entire being was being remade from scratch.

Alex once again felt a very comfortable sensation. This time, he didn't feel any pain at all.

Alex could feel the Devouring God Source merging perfectly with him, as his physique began to change rapidly. His body structure was rapidly strengthened, his meridians expanded, and his muscles became filled with limitless energy. Even his soul went through a slight change, and his soul force became stronger.

At that moment, Alex's body emitted a faint golden-red light, forming mysterious patterns all over his skin. These patterns looked like flowing runes that flickered softly.

A deep rumble echoed from within him, and Alex knew that the integration was complete.

Alex slowly opened his eyes. His pupils glowed with golden-red light, and when he exhaled, the air trembled faintly.
