After successfully capturing the Evogods, Ling Jiu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he decided to absorb them on the spot. The time flow around the metal planet was extremely fast. Absorbing them here could save a lot of time.
"Can you absorb them now, Ling Jiu?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
As Ling Jiu gave the order, a steady stream of soul fragments poured out of the Leoux. As usual, Ling Jiu kept them into the Inner World (the Flame Astral Behemoth) and refined them into the purest dark psionic energy under the burning of the Inner World.
The Soul Nebula expanded again.
270 soul stellar units.
280 soul stellar units.
300 soul stellar units.
...
While Ling Jiu was busy absorbing the Evogods, on Earth, millions of light-years away, a major event that shocked the world happened.
This time, it was not an alien invasion, nor was it the appearance of the gods. It was a miracle.
At the foot of Mount Kunlun in Huaxia, a stairway suddenly appeared.
The Heaven Stairway was three meters and three feet wide, and it wasn't very long. One end was connected to the ground, and the other end was connected to the sky. It was completely dazzling with golden light, and it seemed like the legendary Heaven Stairway that connected to the Heaven Realm. It stood towering between the heavens and the earth, and it emitted boundless majesty and mystery.
At the same time, a majestic voice came from the void at the end of the stairway and spread to every corner of the world.
"Hello, my compatriots. I am Ling Jiu. To enhance the strength of Earth, I have specially built a stairway in Mount Kunlun. Those who successfully climb the stairway will get a divine fruit.
This divine fruit can prolong life and enhance strength. Ordinary people can live a thousand years longer and become Ultimate Arcanists after eating one.
Anyone below the Ultimate Arcanist level can try to climb the stairway and find the divine fruit. "
After the majestic voice finished, it fell silent. But it caused a huge uproar on Earth.
"What?"
...
In the birch forest in Chang'an Base City.
Meng Lijun was with Chen Feng and the others. If one looked closely, they would find that their eyes were like lightning and they exuded a terrifying aura.
Obviously, they had all become stellar beings.
But at this moment, they were all stunned.
"Did you hear the voice just now?"
"Yes."
"I heard it, too."
"That is Captain Ling's voice."
"Captain Ling actually built a stairway to heaven in Kunlun? What is he trying to do?"
"He must be distributing the Casmodor divine fruit, the kind we eat."
"Yes, that must be it!"
"How many divine fruits does Captain Ling have? He actually built the Stairway to Heaven for everyone to go up? What if there aren't enough Divine Fruits? "
"Since Captain Ling did this, he must have his own way! By the way, aren't we going to take a look? "
"What are we going to do? Didn't you hear that only Ultimate Adepts and below could attempt the Stairway to Heaven? We are already stellar beings! "
"I'm just taking a look, not climbing! However, I can bring my boss along and let him try! He's already 17 this year … "
"This is fine!"
…
Chang 'an Base City, Pangu Branch Building.
"Yuhe, do you want to take a look?"
Ai Tiancheng looked at his daughter and said.
"No!"
Ai Yuhe sighed and shook her head. "I'm already a Level-9 Arcanist, not far from becoming a stellar being. I don't need to eat any divine fruit."
Ai Tiancheng nodded and did not say much. His daughter was talented and a Dimensional Arcanist. Now that she was a Level-9 Arcanist, it was only a matter of time before she became a stellar lifeform.
"Then I'll go!"
"Go, Dad!"
…
9527's operation had stirred up the entire world. From the richest people to the homeless beggars on the streets, all of them were attracted to it.
People started to take action.
The rich drove maglev motorcycles, maglev cars, and even private maglev airships toward Kunlun Mountain.
The poor dragged their families and pushed their carts as they traveled on foot, looking as if they would not stop until they reached Kunlun Mountain.
Only an hour after 9527's announcement, someone had already arrived at Kunlun Mountain and came to the foot of the Stairway to Heaven.
It was a maglev airship. As the airship landed, a group of people got off and stood straight on both sides of the airship.
Following that, a white-haired old man walked down from the airship with the help of a walking stick, followed by a beautiful secretary.
"Chairman, please slow down!"
The secretary reminded him softly.
The old man walked out of the airship and looked at the Stairway to Heaven and Earth. He said in a trembling voice.
"It's magnificent! Only Ling Jiu, who is comparable to the gods, can create such a miracle! "
The secretary nodded in agreement. "Yes! I heard that the Stairway to Heaven appeared in Kunlun Mountain overnight! "
"You guys, go and give it a try!"
The old man said to the bodyguards on both sides. "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. I hope you guys can seize it!"
"Yes, Chairman!"
The group of bodyguards nodded respectfully and then walked toward the Stairway to Heaven. They actually wanted to give it a try. After all, once they succeeded, they could become stellar beings.
Stellar beings!
What a great temptation!
If they really became stellar beings, would they still need to be bodyguards?
A few bodyguards came to the Stairway and walked up step by step.
However, they stopped after a few steps as if they had encountered something horrible. They screamed in horror and fell from the Stairway to Heaven.
Magically, when they fell to the ground, a gentle force appeared on the ground and held them up so that they were not injured.
"Go and ask them what they have been through!"
The old man frowned and said to the secretary.
"Yes, Chairman!"
The secretary walked up to a bodyguard and asked. The bodyguard's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he still had a look of horror on his face.
However, when he heard the female secretary's words, he couldn't say a word. After a long time, he said,
After a long time, he said, "I don't know what I have just experienced. I don't remember it at all!"
"You don't know?"
The secretary was stunned.
The old man also frowned slightly. After these bodyguards climbed the Stairway to Heaven, they had obviously experienced something horrible, and now they could not remember anything?
What was going on?
"You guys go and try again!"
The old man said.
"Yes, Chairman!"
The same scene happened again. The bodyguards were terrified after climbing the Stairway to Heaven, but they still could not remember anything when they returned to the ground.
This was strange!
After several fruitless attempts, the old man gritted his teeth and climbed the Stairway to Heaven. The result was the same. They were terrified on the Stairway to Heaven, and they did not know anything after falling.
"Alice, you go and try too!"
The old man looked at his secretary.
"Yes, Boss!"
The secretary nodded and walked toward the Stairway. She did not have any hope in her heart. Even her boss and several bodyguards had failed, so how could she succeed?
"How can I climb the Stairway to Heaven?" The old man frowned.
He had a net worth of hundreds of millions and a high status in the world. But he was born unable to cultivate and always faced the threat of death.
Even if he took the Water of Life, injected with life-prolonging potions, he could at most extend his life by a few decades. He could never live for thousands of years like a stellar lifeform, let alone have a youthful body, health, and powerful strength.
So when the Stairway to Heaven appeared, he was the first to rush here to check it out. But now, so many people could not climb the Stairway to Heaven.
"Could this Stairway to Heaven be fake?"
Just when the old man was disappointed, he suddenly heard the bodyguards exclaiming. "She went up! Miss Alice actually went up! "
"Huh?"
The old man quickly looked at the Stairway to Heaven and saw his secretary, Alice, climbing the Stairway step by step. Although her pace was slow, each step was very steady, and there was no panic like when they climbed the Stairway to Heaven.
"Alice actually …"
Under the watchful eyes of the old man and the bodyguards, Alice climbed the Stairway to Heaven step by step and finally came to the end of the Stairway in the clouds.
A palace appeared in front of her, and in front of the palace was an altar with a durian-shaped fruit on the altar.
At the same time, a light flashed in front of her, and Ling Jiu quietly appeared behind the altar with a gentle smile.
"Miss Alice, congratulations on successfully climbing the Stairway to Heaven and getting the Casmodor fruit.
The fruit in front of you is the Casmodor fruit. Eat it, and you can become a stellar lifeform. You can take it now. "
"Thank … Thank you!"
The secretary thanked him excitedly, then grabbed the Casmodor fruit and ate it.
She had no intention of taking it with her, nor did she want to give it to the old man.
What a joke, this was something that could make her a stellar lifeform.
Give it to the old man?
The old man was not her biological father, and he was just giving her a salary.
"I wonder if Alice succeeded?"
Just as Alice was eating the Casmodor fruit, the old man at the foot of the Stairway to Heaven had a look of anticipation on his face.
He wanted Alice to succeed, but at the same time, he did not want her to succeed.
If Alice succeeded, it meant that there was indeed a magical fruit on the Stairway that could make people become a stellar lifeform and have a lifespan of a thousand years.
This was undoubtedly good news.
But on the other hand, if Alice succeeded and ate that fruit, she would become a stellar lifeform.
From now on, he, the boss, would have to look up to her, the secretary? The old man did not want this to happen.
So, the old man was conflicted.
Boom!!
Just as the old man was letting his imagination run wild, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the sky.
Not long after, a graceful figure rushed down from the clouds and finally stopped in front of the old man. She stepped on the void and flew in the air.
"Ai … Alice?"
The old man's eyes widened as he looked at the person in front of him, trembling. The bodyguards were also dumbfounded, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Who else could the person floating in front of him be other than Alice?
"Alice, you … you succeeded?"
The old man trembled as he said.
"Yes, Boss."
Alice landed on the ground, unable to hide the excitement on her pretty face.
"I climbed to the end of the Stairway to Heaven, saw Ling Jiu, and also got the Casmodor fruit. I ate the fruit and became a stellar lifeform."
"It's actually … true!"
The old man was inexplicably excited, but he could not hide the anger on his face. "Then why didn't you bring the fruit down, and instead ate it yourself?"
"I can't bring it down, Boss."
Alice smiled bitterly. "The Stairway to Heaven is a test that Ling Jiu set for us. Only those who pass the test can get the Casmodor fruit, and those who pass the test must eat the fruit in front of Ling Jiu. Taking it away … is not allowed."
"How could this be?"
The old man was disappointed.
"This is the rule set by Ling Jiu."
Alice said slowly.
The old man was suddenly speechless.
...
Ling Jiu, who was millions of light-years away, had no idea what was happening on Earth. He was still doing his best to expand the Soul Nebula.
The soul of this Evogod was very, very strong. It was unimaginably strong.
Ling Jiu's Soul Nebula had increased tenfold.
What was the concept of tenfold?
Ling Jiu's Soul Nebula was 260 soul stellar units before. Expanding a hundred times would be 2,600 soul stellar units.
How terrifying was this increase?
How amazing was this improvement?
One had to know that Ling Jiu's Soul Nebula could be upgraded to 260 soul stellar units by absorbing the souls of countless super-clustered lifeforms.
As a result, the Soul Nebula had expanded tenfold after encountering an Evogod. One could imagine how terrifying the soul of this Evogod was.
However, only a small part of the soul fragments had been consumed. This was the most amazing thing.
The Soul Nebula had expanded tenfold, but only a small part of it had been consumed?
One could imagine how strong the soul of this Evogod was.
Expand.
Expand.
Expand crazily.
Time flowed very fast near the white hole. Before he knew it, 500 years had passed. On this day, Ling Jiu finally woke up from his self-cultivation.
He slowly opened his eyes, and two sharp electric arcs shot out from his eyes. They crackled like lightning and exploded with a loud, crisp sound.
This was the result of the soul being condensed to a certain extent and interfering with reality. It was not difficult to judge how strong Ling Jiu's soul was.
"Ling Jiu, have you finished absorbing it?"
Leoux's voice rang out.
"Yes, I have."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly, then stood up and stretched. After sitting for a long time, even he felt a little sore in his back and leg cramps.
"How is it? How far has the Soul Nebula expanded?" Leoux asked with concern.
"You may not believe it."
Ling Jiu smiled. "My Soul Nebula has now expanded to 7,690 soul stellar units."
“7690？ F * ck! That's insane! "
Leoux was amazed. "This number can rank in the top ten even in the entire history of the Evogods. Insane!"
Ling Jiu smiled. "It's all because the soul of that Evogod is too strong. Its soul is so strong that I have been absorbing it for so many years. "
"This Evogod is indeed strong," Leoux said with a smile.
"Its memory tells me that it has lived for 760,000 years, and it has absorbed the souls of 17 Evogods and countless super-clustered lifeforms. Can you imagine why its soul is so strong? "
"Absorbing the Evogods?" Ling Jiu was stunned. "Do the Evogods kill each other?"
"Of course."
Leoux nodded slightly. "The Evogods themselves are a massive collection of Dark Psionic Energy. For other Evogods, it is the greatest nourishment."
"When the Evogods were still intact, they enacted laws prohibiting killing each other."
"Even so, cases of killing and devouring each other are common. Not to mention, the Evogods have long been wiped out, and their legal system has long ceased to exist."
"All right. The Evogods deserve to be wiped out. "
Ling Jiu shook his head. "By the way, how long has it been?"
"It has been 980 years since we came to this white hole," Leoux replied.
"That's a long time," Ling Jiu said.
"My Soul Nebula has now reached 7,690 soul stellar units, Leoux. Can I enter the second stage of the Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution?"
"Of course, but I advise you to wait a little longer," Leoux said.
"Why?"
Ling Jiu frowned.
"Because there are other Evogods to devour."
