After defeating the last guardian of the shrine, Li Xiang had completed the reorganization of the cosmic particles. The aura in his body surged like a blazing furnace, illuminating the entire shrine.
The bronze statues were all shattered, and the Chains of Order were broken. There was nothing else that could stop him from walking toward the altar.
He had spent an entire month here. Fortunately, he had gained a lot, allowing him to take another big step forward on the path above Level 9. He felt like he had reached the limit.
This cultivation speed was too shocking. Even he himself could not believe it. However, when he thought about how most of this was brought about by the cosmic particles and the cultivation systems of other worlds, he felt more at ease.
In this one month, he had absorbed the essence of many other worlds. This kind of opportunity was hard to come by. If the Black King had not accidentally discovered this remote and ancient temple, Li Xiang would not have had the chance to come into contact with these secrets and fight with these temple guardians.
Under normal circumstances, he would have gone into seclusion to cultivate and digest the enlightenment and impact that Bai Shili's Divine Will had given him. If he was lucky, he might have the chance to improve by the end of the year. However, with the help of the fundamental particles and cultivation systems of other worlds, he had accelerated greatly. He had leaped over many obstacles and had begun to master the Spirit Domain.
'But I keep feeling that something is missing. These cosmic particles are not complete yet …' Li Xiang frowned. He clenched and unclenched his fists. This cycle repeated many times. He felt the surging power brought about by the cosmic particles in his body.
The next moment, he looked up at the dome of the temple. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles and look directly at the universe. The universe was filled with flowing lights and vibrant colors, shaking the surroundings. A majestic Divine Will was fluctuating and surging toward him, responding to his gaze.
It was a projection of a Divine Soul. It was formed by the Divine Will of a certain expert. It came from the torrent of the universe and flew toward the sky. It met Li Xiang's gaze, creating sparks that quickly flickered.
This Divine Will was extremely powerful, as if it was above all things and rules. It made people feel like they had no choice but to submit to it.
The other party had sensed Li Xiang's gaze and probed with his telepathic thoughts. He had even tried to suppress Li Xiang's gaze and take the opportunity to travel here. However, a single strand of telepathic thoughts could not lock onto Li Xiang at all. Broken by his sharp gaze and aura, the strand of telepathic thoughts was reduced to specks of golden light, which became Li Xiang's nutrients instead.
When the golden light entered his body, Li Xiang finally understood what he was lacking!
The cosmic particles in his body had yet to be perfected. What he lacked was the portion from the cosmic beasts!
The Ultralisks were born in the Abyss of the Universe. It was said that they were all strange monsters created by Azathoth when he was asleep. They were born to control the laws of the universe. Every race had unparalleled strength, excellent talents, and long lifespans. Even in their infancy, they had combat power close to Level-9. Some of the most powerful races were even born at Level-9!
They roamed the starry sky, traveling all over the universe, entering and exiting other worlds. Sometimes, they would leave behind descendants with the natives. These descendants of the Ultralisks would often become bug-like existences in their worlds. No one could defeat them, just like the Golden Lion and the Sky-devouring Winged Race.
The Ultralisks behind them were two behemoths that had experienced a long time and stood tall.
However, more often than not, these geniuses of the universe brought destruction, disaster, and pain to other worlds. Wherever they passed, not even a blade of grass grew. Many worlds collapsed.
After all, Azathoth's imagination was mostly chaotic and difficult to understand. As a result, these Ultralisks acted without any rules. They acted according to their moods and preferences.
If there was one thing that these Ultralisks were afraid of, it would be the eternal existences in the Eternal Land.
They were the creators of various worlds and had extremely high statuses. Only the Pillar Gods of the Three Primordial Realms and the Master of the Universe, Azathoth, were higher than them. Other creatures had to crawl on the ground and look up to them.
He now understood that the reason why the particles of the universe were not completed was that there was a lack of cultivation systems and fundamental particles from these big guys. They were born in the universe and roamed the world. They had an independent cultivation system and were the race that had the most control over the particles of the universe.
Due to their size and physical strength, their cultivation system was not suitable for most races in the universe. Humans with weak physiques were even more out of the question. However, Li Xiang was different. His physique had been strengthened countless times since he was born. Now that he had fused with the side of the Dark Origin, his physical strength was not weaker than that of the average Ultralisks even in his human form.
He could definitely cultivate those systems.
"What a powerful aura. It feels like an eternal existence. I didn't expect such a strong person to exist in such a remote place."
The main body of the Divine Thought transmitted its voice. Its voice was like thunder, causing the temple to tremble.
To be able to transmit its voice across space and time, the other party was at least level 10. From its tone, it should not have reached the eternal existence level.
This ability seemed to have surpassed Bai Shili's level. It seemed that the gap between level 10 was huge. He wondered if the main body of this Divine Thought was stronger than the main body of the Dead Protagonists.
While Li Xiang was communicating with his Divine Sense, an illusion of a star field gradually appeared in front of him. Then, a huge and ancient city slowly rose up, with all kinds of lights shining. Countless ferocious and terrifying giant beasts walked out and dispersed into the starry sky.
Beasts, giants … Gigantified creatures appeared one by one.
Some of them had bodies that looked like huge spindle-shaped barrels. Both ends of the barrels had long and thin appendages that looked like starfish. Five light red soft tubes extended from one end of the barrel like ferns. They gathered and intertwined together at the top, forming a huge ugly sarcoma. The two sides of the barrel body had broken fleshy wings and skin membranes. The whole body was pale white. All kinds of tentacles with broken flesh and blood were waving in the air, giving off a bloody feeling.
There were only faint silhouettes, hazy and unclear. Their bodies were hidden in black cloaks that were larger than the sun and the moon. Looking closely, one could see the small but densely packed fluff-like substances in the cloaks. They swayed with the wind, opening and closing.
It was like the disgusting state of a plush blanket after soaking it in water.
Li Xiang was stunned. He immediately realized that this was probably a super city where all kinds of Cosmic Beast races gathered!
The city was surrounded by burning rune markings that looked like words from the Book of the Creator.
These were also the player carriers that magic users needed to find and communicate with during the players' assessment. They were scattered everywhere in this super city!
As expected of the children of the Master of the Universe. The benefits they could enjoy were enviable.
"It's not easy. To be able to cultivate the embryonic form of a godly soul in such a barren world and have a trace of the eternal existence level aura, this talent is not inferior to the Cosmic Beasts. Eh, it's actually a sealed land? You're a descendant of His Highness, the Lord of Disaster? "
In the dazzling light, the Divine Thought talked to itself, as if it wanted to see the situation here clearly.
Lord of Disaster? Descendant? A barren world? A sealed land?
Li Xiang was stunned. Did it think that he was a native of the temple? That was very likely the case.
The Divine Thought couldn't see the situation here through the long space and time. It only had a vague image and aura perception, otherwise it would have been impossible for it not to see Li Xiang's human form. It could also tell that this was the sealed land of the Lord of Disaster, probably because of the aura emitted by the temple.
As expected, this place was related to the protagonist of the Second Era who was about to return.
The Divine Thought probably subconsciously that Li Xiang didn't have the ability to talk to it. Without waiting for his answer, it talked to itself again. "What a pity, what a pity, the world you were in was destroyed long ago. All the essence and the World Core were devoured by the Lord of Disaster. No matter how talented you are, you can't enter a higher realm. Moreover, the final catastrophe is coming, and the adherents of the sealed land will awaken one by one. You'll only be the first poor worm to be killed if you stay there."
Li Xiang looked at the altar. There were many jars there, which seemed to be the sealed adherents. Now that I've defeated the temple's guardian, will it speed up the awakening of the adherents?
Thinking of that, his heart tightened. Just as he was about to ask, the Divine Thought spoke again.
"Huh, how strange. Logically speaking, only during the final catastrophe will the adherents awaken and absorb the power of the statues outside as nutrients. Why can't I sense those statues?"
"I've eaten them all." Li Xiang coldly replied.
！！！
The Divine Thought paused for a moment. Perhaps it was surprised by the content of his words, or surprised that Li Xiang had the ability to talk to it from a distance.
After a while, the Divine Thought spoke again.
"Could it be that you're really a descendant of the Lord of Disaster? You were searching for nutrients during your awakening and accidentally absorbed those statues?! "
The Divine Thought couldn't jump out of this shackle, because in its opinion, only the adherents related to the Lord of Disaster had the ability to cultivate to this level in this place and survive.
But Li Xiang could talk to it from a distance and even said that he had eaten the statues. Perhaps only the descendant of the Lord of Disaster could do that.
From the Divine Thought's words, Li Xiang guessed that it knew about the final catastrophe, as well as the Lord of Disaster and the other protagonists. He wasn't surprised at all, and there seemed to be a hint of respect and friendliness in its tone.
Could it be that the final catastrophe was only targeted at humans and the worlds that were created?
Because the Cosmic Behemoth race was Azathoth's fantasy, how could they not be dealt with?
If that's the case, he recalled that the Golden Lion and the Winged King were obviously aware of the final catastrophe, but they didn't care. The former was still connected to their race, which was the legendary "door" that they usually hid in the human world.
If the catastrophe didn't descend upon the Cosmic Behemoths, then as long as they returned to their race, they would be fine.
Li Xiang responded with silence. He still hadn't decided whether to face this Divine Thought with his true identity or disguise himself as the descendant of the Lord of Disaster. Since he didn't understand these secrets, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
The Divine Thought thought that he had eaten the statues by mistake, but now that it knew the truth, it panicked and didn't dare to speak for a while. It chuckled and continued, "Actually, it's not as big as you think. The statues were sealed by the defeated World Guardians. They were used as nutrients for your father's race. Not only him, but the others were the same. Our great King of the Cosmic Behemoths, Salymor, did the same thing. Sometimes, the descendants of the Cosmic Behemoths secretly ate their supplies. At most, we'll just revive fewer adherents. It won't affect the overall situation."
The King of the Cosmic Behemoths, Salymor? He was also one of the protagonists of the Return of the Dead?
Which era did he belong to? Why was he related to the human world?
Many questions surfaced in his mind.
"Lord Salymor … is also one of the Return of the Dead?"
He asked in a slightly cold voice.
"Of course. This time, a total of seven lords will return. In the first era of the second era of the human world, the ones who truly ruled that world were the Cosmic Behemoths. You've been living there all this time, and I'm afraid you haven't come into contact with the other races. It's normal that you don't know about this."
"I heard … Father talk about it a little. The Cosmic Behemoths actually ruled the human world?"
"Haha, that's natural. We traverse the universe, and every race has supreme power. For a remote world like the one you live in, any race can easily destroy it. In the first era of the human world, the great Lord Salymor sensed that distant but miraculous world. He crossed countless voids to successfully reach the human world and became the initiator of the first final catastrophe at the end of the first era! "
So that's how it is.
Li Xiang suddenly realized that there was no so-called Return of the Main Character in the first era. Taiyin explained that the humans of that era were too ignorant and weak. In the end, they also suffered a devastating blow. They didn't expect the Cosmic Behemoths to deal such a heavy blow.
Indeed, not to mention the humans of the first era, even the current seven continents found it difficult to fight against all the races of the Cosmic Behemoths.
"After occupying the human world, Lord Salymor discovered the 'door'. He also discovered that the heart of the human world cannot be destroyed and is immortal. Such a magical and miraculous world is even more complicated than the universe created by our father, Lord Azathoth. Unfortunately, the Cosmic Behemoths were expelled before he could complete his exploration."
That Divine Thought sighed.
"Expelled? Is there any power left in the human world that can fight against the Cosmic Behemoths? "
"The initiator of the second era of the second era is called Taihao. He brought a brand-new cultivation system to the humans. Due to the limitations of the rules, the Cosmic Behemoths couldn't descend into the human world in large numbers. The great Lord Salymor and Taihao both suffered great losses and had to fall into a deep sleep. Of course, Taihao also died because of this, and now he has joined our camp."
"True Immortal Taihao …"
"You actually know him. Seems like your father told you a lot of things. So, have you thought about it? I can use the space-time backtracking ability to bring you to our Miracle City. Leave you in that remote place and wait for the adorers to recover. The weak you will only become their food. The adorers won't be loyal to their master's son. They only listen to their master. "
Li Xiang's heart trembled as he looked at the Miracle City. Most of the Cosmic Behemoths were between Level 9 and Level 10. The most powerful individuals were Level 10, and none of them had broken through Level 10 to reach the Eternal Existence level.
This was also their biggest weakness.
The key was that the Miracle City was scattered with player carriers. If he could get some of them back …
