The virtual temple was exactly the same as the one in the real world. Even the jars were exactly the same. Unfortunately, Li Xiang hadn't really explored the adored sealed in the jars, so the Queen of Pain could only simulate their appearance and couldn't show them in person.
However, she could replicate the bronze statues that Li Xiang defeated one by one. They were lifelike, and their combat power was also completely simulated. This gave him a chance to fight them again and make up for some of the flaws. He could also try again and again to completely understand the cultivation system and the essence of the particles in their original world.
On the spiritual island, the Queen of Pain was quietly watching Li Xiang fight with the bronze statues. The flow of time here was different from the outside world. Li Xiang had plenty of time to comprehend and digest. At the same time, the Queen of Pain's Soul Power was constantly drifting around him. If he stayed here for a long time, it would be beneficial for Li Xiang's perception and cultivation of Soul Power.
In the blink of an eye, spring passed and autumn came, and winter and summer alternated. In the bloody battle with the bronze statues, Li Xiang gradually completed the essence of the universe's particles. Previously, when he obtained the cultivation system of the Cosmic Beasts from the Divine Bell, he was only missing an opportunity. However, he didn't have enough time and didn't have the conditions to repeatedly understand it, so he couldn't completely master it. Now that he had the spiritual island, the Queen of Pain could repeatedly simulate the guardians of the temple to accompany him.
Li Xiang stood alone in the temple. The guardians couldn't defeat him even if they attacked together. After hundreds of battles, he finally broke through the shackles and completely surpassed Level-9. He pushed open the door to Level-10.
All sorts of gorgeous and gorgeous scenes flowed around him. All things changed, and epochs reappeared. Everything was contained within them.
In the end, Li Xiang's expression was solemn. He gathered all his power in one place. With a boom, he slammed forward, displaying an unprecedented level of power. The power seemed to penetrate the spiritual island. The Queen of Pain was so shocked that she suddenly stood up. She was almost forced out of the spiritual world with Li Xiang.
This was the manifestation of the initial control of Soul Power!
When the Divine Soul was completely stabilized, one would be able to touch the boundary of Soul Power above Level 9. They would be able to perceive, use, and cultivate. Taking this step also meant that Li Xiang had officially entered Level 10, the intersection between ordinary creatures and Eternal existences.
His soul gradually left his physical body. It was sparkling and translucent like white jade as it floated above the spiritual island. It could blend in with the surrounding soul energy. Dark golden air currents revolved around his divine soul, filled with the chains of rules. There was a certain degree of mutual rejection with this place.
This meant that Li Xiang was no longer just a stream of consciousness that the Queen of Pain had forcibly dragged to her mind island. He had condensed his own soul here, and the soul was the key to shuttling between different mind worlds. A powerful soul could even affect other people's mind islands!
The dark golden Soul Power that belonged to him was separated from the surrounding Soul Power, forming a thin film that enveloped him. This was a type of spontaneous protection that prevented him from getting lost in other people's Spiritual Islands.
"Congratulations, you can now open up your own mind island." The Queen of Pain let out a long sigh of relief. Before using this method, she was not sure if she could really help Li Xiang take that step. Fortunately, she succeeded in the end. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of time.
What he lacked the most now was a world.
Li Xiang nodded slightly. His body gradually faded as he left the Queen of Pain's mind island. He shuttled through the faint light and saw islands of different styles. These were other people's mind islands. Most of them belonged to ordinary people. They were intertwined and located in this sea of minds, still in a state of ignorance.
Soon, he found his own mind island.
"This …" Li Xiang rubbed his eyes. After confirming it repeatedly, he fell into deep thought.
There was nothing in his mind island, or it could be said that it was pitch-black. Only by walking into its range could one feel a trace of the barrier.
His body seemed to be immersed in an endless darkness. He could not see or feel anything. His five senses were also being deprived.
There was nothing here.
According to the Queen of Pain, he should have the right to control and build the mind island. However, this place gave him the feeling of darkness. Everything had disappeared.
Li Xiang was about to pinch his arm, but he was shocked to find that the feeling had disappeared as well. Now, only his empty consciousness was left floating in this place.
Terrifying.
This feeling of being gradually swallowed by darkness was terrifying. Endless loneliness and solitude could instantly tear down a person's defenses.
'I see. It's because I have the personality of the Darkness Origin. This is its God Nation. It's the Polar night. It's the source of all darkness and chaos. Naturally, there's nothing here.' Li Xiang felt something in his heart. He immediately understood the reason.
His mind island was different from others. There was nothing but darkness. This was his spirit's territory. The expansion of his mind world was the darkness that spread fear.
When he recalled the Queen of Pain saying that he had the ability to materialize his mind island at Level 10, he felt a chill run down his spine.
As his strength continued to increase, there would be a day when he could cover this dark and empty territory with the real universe. That would make countless living beings despair.
The God Nations of the Three Primal Pillar Gods were like this. They were filled with their own authority and laws. Ordinary living beings would not dare to approach them.
When the mind world expanded to its limit, it would turn into a God Nation. However, Li Xiang was still very far away from that step.
He slowly retracted his consciousness and quickly woke up.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Duke Siluo and the Queen of Pain sitting in front of him. The former had heard about his successful advancement and was shocked. She then came to her senses and kept congratulating him.
After leaving Duke Siluo's private residence, Li Xiang headed south and rushed to the Southern Land that had already been rebuilt.
When he landed on the land, he was shocked by the densely packed mechanized cities around him.
More than a year ago, he had sketched out the blueprint and imagined what the seven continents would look like in the future. When it really appeared before his eyes, Li Xiang understood that he had indeed changed the human world. The civilization of the entire era had deviated in the direction he wanted it to be.
This was thousands of times more shocking than the steam armored train that he had seen in the past. These mechanized cities that rose from the ground were respected by ordinary people as the Miracle Cities. They shared the same name as the ancient city in the vast universe where countless Cosmic Behemoths resided.
They were the new hope of mankind, the new future.
Countless metal tracks crisscrossed each other, practically covering the entire sky. Layers upon layers of mechanized defensive structures were impenetrable. Once the alarm was raised and enemies invaded, even high-tiered players would have a hard time escaping from the dense net of firepower.
The cities on the ground were mostly made up of factories and fortresses. They were like ferocious monsters, crouching and staring coldly at everything in front of them. The underground was where humans lived. Some of them were already shining under the sun. It was no different from the seven continents of the past, but it had a more mechanical feel. The overall level of civilization was one level higher.
This was a new world that the seven continents had built with all their manpower and resources. It was a new world that belonged to Li Xiang.
The mechanical army stationed at the first line of defense was meticulously patrolling and protecting. Li Xiang approached and came to the Yue family's land. The city that had been destroyed in that battle had been rebuilt. It was now the core of the entire Southern Land, having the most prosperous mechanical city.
When those tall and terrifying mechanical creatures saw Li Xiang, they all knelt down like they had seen a king. They lowered their proud heads and fell down in groups like dominoes. The soldiers standing guard around them were dumbfounded.
This was a miraculous scene. Only when Li Xiang personally stepped on this land would it appear. Realizing the identity of the person who came, the guards straightened their backs and saluted respectfully.
He deliberately released his aura and quickly attracted the Moon King, Yue Mei 'er.
Half of her body transformed into the form of the Fallen Mother Tree. Her skirt armor was covered by the branches, revealing a pair of fair and slender thighs.
"Why are you free to come?" Yue Mei 'er smiled like a flower. She held his arm and led him forward like an elder sister.
Ever since that battle, he had saved the Yue family from a hopeless situation. The relationship between the new Polar night alliance and the Yue family had improved by leaps and bounds. Yue Mei 'er was also one of Li Xiang's most powerful supporters.
She had also gone to the galaxy to train. Recently, she had returned to the clan to suppress some discordant voices because of the incident. Now, her battle prowess was infinitely close to Level 9 and could break through at any time.
Sensing the changes in her body, Li Xiang sighed. She was indeed the most outstanding genius of the previous era. Just that battle alone had allowed Yue Mei 'er to successfully grasp the opportunity to advance. Going from the Five King Realm to Level 9 and above was the most difficult step in the players' cultivation system. There were many conditions required. Yue Mei 'er, who had once trapped geniuses like the Black King, King Dong Ling, and the Shield King, and was the weakest of the Five Kings, was now one step ahead. From the feedback of her aura, she was even closer to the Black King.
"I want to know about the reproduction of your family's descendants," Li Xiang said bluntly. At the same time, he discussed with Yue Mei 'er the key to advancing to Level 9 and above.
Hearing this reason, she immediately smiled brightly. Her beautiful face that could charm all living things blushed like the sunset. She was shy and cute, making one unable to hold back.
"Why? Have you taken a fancy to one of my children? Is it Xuanyue? Purple Moon? Crimson Moon? Or Little Crescent Moon? "Yue Mei 'er teased him, her voice extremely flirtatious.
Li Xiang was greatly embarrassed. He hurriedly shook his head. He wanted to confirm whether Xuanyue had the bloodline of the Spacetime Behemoth.
Yue Mei 'er played with him for a while before becoming serious and admitting this matter.
Xuanyue's biological father was indeed a Spacetime Behemoth left behind in the Seven Continents. However, he had died long ago. Even his corpse had been reduced to nothingness. That had happened when Yue Mei 'er was young.
She had created the Yue Family bloodline and could be called a genius of her generation. After so many years of refinement, the Yue Family bloodline's strangeness surprised Li Xiang.
It could wantonly devour other bloodlines. No matter who it was, the children of the Yue Family's girl would definitely inherit both their parents' bloodlines.
For example, Xuanyue had inherited Yue Mei 'er's pure Yue Family bloodline and her father's Spacetime Behemoth bloodline at the same time. When she married her sweetheart in the future, there would definitely be a mixed-blood child, and it would be a girl. Generation after generation, the bloodline would become even stronger.
The Yue Family's devouring bloodline was still the main bloodline.
That saying of the clan was truly amazing.
Yue Mei 'er also used this opportunity to create a new image and title for herself — Devouring Mother Goddess.
Devouring billions of bloodlines and becoming the mother of all things.
One could say that her new title was even more powerful than Bai King and Lightless Empress. It was even more difficult to achieve and even stranger.
After all, her Mythical Creature form came from the fallen World Tree. It had a hint of mystery.
When she heard that Li Xiang had successfully advanced to Level 10 and became a powerhouse on the same level as Bai Lili and Lancelot, Yue Mei 'er's cherry mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in!
She thought that her cultivation speed was already very fast. She was about to complete all the prerequisites for Devouring Mother Goddess. She should be able to advance before the final catastrophe. One more Level-9 powerhouse would be an additional force for the survival of mankind.
However, the young man before her was even more ridiculous. He had come and gone, roamed the universe, and reached Level 10!
"God … I finally understand why Xuanyue was so depressed after she separated from you. She didn't have the heart to cultivate." Yue Mei 'er covered her mouth. "If my sweetheart was as strong, I wouldn't want to cultivate either. Our Yue Family's bloodline is strong in the reproduction of descendants. Girls learn many skills to please men and get along with men from a young age. If it weren't for the fact that our clan land would be invaded like last time, the Yue Family's women would rather stay at home and take care of their children than fight in the open."
These were her heartfelt words. Perhaps due to the extreme negative bloodline, the Yue Family's women were gentler than the average woman. They were more inclined towards the life of a wife.
This was also the reason why the Yue Family was once chased by various families in the seven continents. The women of their family were simply too good as wives.
"Why don't you consider it? We … can do it." Yue Mei 'er suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Li Xiang's neck. She leaned close to his face and breathed out a fragrant breath.
"Good morning, Mother." A voice as cold as a sword suddenly sounded from the side.
A girl in a slim-fit Sword Dao attire walked over. It was New Moon.
Her eyes were like a falcon's. She looked at Yue Mei 'er and then at Li Xiang. Suddenly, she lowered her head with a slight blush.
She didn't dare to look directly at him.
Li Xiang had heard some stories about New Moon and Ye Tong. He suddenly felt that the Yue Family's women were all troublesome. It gave him a headache.
Yue Mei 'er jumped to the side and tidied her clothes. She stopped pretending to be playful and nodded slightly at New Moon. Then, she continued their conversation.
In reality, the Yue Family's bloodline wasn't really that terrifying. As it was passed down from generation to generation, the descendants would indeed slowly combine the advantages of countless bloodlines and become stronger and stronger. However, the purity of the Yue Family's bloodline was actually decreasing.
"For example, Xuanyue. The Spacetime Beast's bloodline in her body is about to awaken. It will slowly suppress part of her Yue Family's bloodline. More extreme, Night Shadow. She's a descendant of the Yue Family and the Ye Family. Look at her. Isn't she more like the Night King?" Yue Mei 'er jumped up and sat on a table.
Night Shadow was also a member of the Yue Family. However, she was also a direct descendant of the Night King. Clearly, the bloodline passed down to her by the Night King suppressed the Yue Family's bloodline.
"That's why I'm not sure about this. If you marry a girl from the Yue Family, it's very likely that a large amount of your bloodline will flow in the descendant's body. It will completely suppress the Yue Family's bloodline. After all, the status will be different. If you want to produce a pure-blooded descendant of the Yue Family, I might really have to do it myself."
Yue Mei 'er said with a faint smile.
Li Xiang's plan suddenly had hope.
He hoped to use the Yue Family's reproductive ability to promote a large number of Yue Family girls to marry with the elites of the seven continents. He hoped to contribute a batch of seeds to humanity and migrate to the world where the Black King was. However, he was worried that the suppression of the Yue Family's bloodline would be too strong. The other bloodlines wouldn't be able to be separated in the end.
Now, it seemed that the problem could be solved.
"However, it's very difficult to actually carry it out. After all, I can't casually interfere with the feelings of the descendants and force them to do something like this …" Yue Mei 'er understood his intentions, but she was powerless to do anything. "Things have already reached this stage?"
Li Xiang nodded silently. "The migration of the Space-Time Behemoths has given me hope. If we fail, at least the humans of this era won't be completely wiped out."
"Alright, I'll spread this news to the clan's land. As for whether it'll succeed or not, I can't guarantee it." Yue Mei 'er nodded in agreement.
After all, reproduction was the mission of the Yue Family girls. It wasn't a bad idea to let them leave the family and pursue love freely.
Originally, for the sake of bloodline density and purity, she had once forbidden the Yue Family girls from freely falling in love. After all, it wasn't that easy to enter the Yue Family.
However, now that the Five Great Thrones had been destroyed and replaced by the new era's forces, they also needed the new era's rules.
