In this world, there were Astral Souls that had developed their own consciousness, and there were also Ancient Gods that specialized in corrupting Astral Souls.
The origin of these Ancient Gods had surprised him. They weren't sent by the Nightmare Ruler as he'd imagined, nor were they born from the evil side of the world. Instead, they were instinctively born from the Greyspace, and their purpose was to kill Astral Souls that were still in the process of being nurtured.
In other words, as long as an Astral Soul was born on any planet in this world, the world's mechanism would automatically nurture several Ancient Gods to corrode the Astral Soul, killing the unborn Titan in its infancy.
The Greyspace did this because of the human Sovereigns and the Nightmare Ruler, who were currently vying for control of this world.
The two Juggernauts were actually Titans, the very first Titans of the universe. The universe itself didn't reject the birth of primordial gods like the Titans, but after the two Juggernauts had grown strong enough, they'd killed the original will of the original Greyspace Wall in an attempt to seize it and become the new master of the Greyspace Wall.
This would naturally provoke the instinctive resistance of the Origin of the Crystal Wall system, which led to the birth of the Ancient Gods, who specialized in killing newly born Astral Souls. This was different from the Titan Crystal Wall universe's Ancient Gods, who created the anti-corruption Astral Souls of the Void Feudal Lords.
To put it bluntly, this was the instinctive resistance of the Greyspace, but the Astral Souls that were born later suffered.
The two Sovereigns didn't want to create new competitors, so they naturally wouldn't go out of their way to protect the newly born Astral Souls. Instead, they would kill the newly born Titans. For example, even if Durong killed the Ancient God and became the Dark Titan, he would be killed by the two Sovereigns in the future.
Lin Xiao's birth was an accident, which meant that he was now the third Titan of this world.
This was one of the main reasons Lin Xiao was willing to cooperate with the Paragons. After defeating the Nightmare Ruler, he was the only Titan in this world. In theory, he had the right to compete for control of this Greyspace. If there was a big shot in the main world willing to give him a push, it would pose a great threat to the human Sovereigns, so his Titan avatar would undoubtedly die in the future.
The problem was that there was no big shot behind Lin Xiao who was willing to pay a huge price to give him a push. Even his father-in-law wouldn't agree.
Not to mention that he had not officially married Shen Yuexin yet. Even if they were really married, his father-in-law would not let him take this step.
This was because there was a huge hidden danger in doing so, and that was turning the tables on him. At that point, his Titan clone would be too much stronger than his true body, and it would definitely backfire on his true body. Moreover, it would be an irreversible backfire that his true body couldn't resist at all.
At that time, he would no longer be himself. He would be a native ancient god of a foreign crystal wall system, the master of the crystal wall system.
Here, there was another situation that made him speechless. If he broke up with Shen Yuexin and made a deal with the ruler of Hui Yao as an Ancient God of Titan in the Astral Soul Crystal Wall System, he would definitely receive the full support of the entire Hui Yao, even if it would cause Hui Yao to pay a huge price and loss.
After all, if he succeeded, the Radiance would give birth to a new greater Divine Power member. It was worth it no matter how high the price he had to pay.
This was a paradox. Lin Xiao would definitely not be willing to be devoured by the incarnation. By then, he would no longer be himself. What was the use of becoming a greater Divine Power? What did it have to do with him?
It was also fortunate that he had the Tesseract of Good Fortune. He could communicate with the incarnation at any time and maintain control of this incarnation.
Well, at least he could still control it now. It would be hard to say if he was stronger.
If it was another player's incarnation that became a Titan, they would be unable to communicate with their true body for a long time. The difference in strength between the incarnation and the true body was too big. There was a high probability that the incarnation would lose control, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
Speaking of which, in this broken foreign world, there were Ancient Gods but no traces of Astral Souls. This made no sense. The instinctive reaction of the world would only send out Ancient Gods after discovering Astral Souls. Now that there were Ancient Gods in this world but no traces of Astral Souls were found, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that a master had hidden the traces of Astral Souls.
The second possibility was that this world didn't have Ancient Gods in the beginning. This Ancient God had migrated from another world.
There were only these two possibilities. There was no third possibility.
No matter which one it was, Lin Xiao was very interested. He circled around the giant pit and jumped in.
The thick gray fog couldn't block his vision. There were some Fiends floating in the gray fog. They would attack anyone who jumped in, but he was falling too quickly.
Jumping into this bottomless pit felt like falling into the void. He couldn't see anything. There was only gray fog everywhere. The deeper he went, the thicker the fog became. In the depths, the gray fog began to corrode his equipment. The people who had tried it before had their equipment's durability corroded before they died. In the end, when they revived, there was nothing left on them.
Other than the set of Orange equipment, the rest of Lin Xiao's body was made up of Orange Legendary equipment. His accessories and rings were all Orange. Even the staff in his hand was a top-tier Orange equipment.
As a genuine Titan Ancient God, he might not be able to mass-produce Divine Equipment, but he could still create Orange equipment. Before he parted ways with his girlfriend, he had specially prepared an Orange set for her. He had also converted her Class Template into a Hero Template.
He had even given this privilege to his own High Priestess, Afelia. Every month, she would be able to borrow the power from his real body through prayer. She would be able to create one Hero Template and ten Elite Templates. She would be able to give them to expert players who had made great contributions. Other players would also have the chance to obtain them.
Orange Legendary equipment was already considered godly to players. Just one piece of Orange equipment could make a player's strength substantially stronger. He had more than a dozen pieces of Orange equipment in his hands. Just the two pieces of Orange equipment that came with a Mana Shield with 100,000 Defense that would automatically appear every half a minute was enough to block most of the damage.
So, even after descending tens of kilometers, the corrosive fog didn't even touch him.
At this depth, the corrosive fog in the void began to form all kinds of illusions as if it had a life of its own. According to the memories of the players who had tried it, these illusions became more and more solid. In the end, they could even form physical attacks.
However, Lin Xiao could sense that these illusions were the remnants of the Ancient God's power.
He looked down into the bottomless abyss. Although he couldn't see anything, he had a feeling that there was something huge at the bottom.
A few hours later, this almost endless descent finally came to an end. At a certain point in the descent, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed a huge shadow passing by in the fog that had turned solid below him. Then, another black shadow quickly attacked him and smashed into him heavily. His shield, which had a defense of 100,000, instantly shattered and sent him flying.
"You have been attacked by an unknown existence. You are immune to the target's Decay and Mind Control effects."
This attack seemed to have triggered something. Countless shadows moved around him. Then, countless force field auras started to affect him. If a normal person were to come here, they would instantly find that they had dozens of different buffs.
"What the hell? This fog is so annoying! "
Lin Xiao pointed with his finger and growled.
"Black Hole!"
A black light appeared at the tip of his finger. The next second, an indescribable force of attraction came from the black light. The thick gray fog around him was bound by this force of attraction and quickly gathered into the black hole.
In less than a minute, all the gray fog within a ten-kilometer radius was devoured. The gray fog further away was quickly gathering, but it was enough for him to see clearly what was under the gray fog …
Below him was an endless mountain of flesh. Or rather, he could only see a mountain of flesh as far as he could see. Countless strange behemoths grew on the mountain of flesh.
There were monsters more than ten kilometers long that looked like centipedes. There were also huge tentacles full of sharp teeth like those in horror movies. There were also tentacles of unknown shapes with long thorns all over their bodies. There were also tentacles with a human head and a snake body with claws all over their bodies. It was like a monster museum with everything.
Each of these behemoths was an independent entity. They were all Commander-tier monsters that were at least Level 80. The stronger ones were Level 90 Lord-tier monsters. There were several extremely powerful auras in the distance, and their bodies were connected to the ground of flesh that stretched for an unknown distance. They were killing and devouring each other.
As the gray fog endlessly devoured, more and more of the underground space became clear. Lin Xiao could also see a wider area, but the more he looked, the more shocked he became. It was far more shocking than when he saw the Ancient God Life Devourer Sagyuron on Duron Planet.
The Titan's strength made his eyesight far better than ordinary people. The more he saw, the more questions in his mind were answered. Slowly, an answer that other players would not know even if they saw it appeared in his mind.
In ancient times, this planet had indeed given birth to Astral Souls. However, the Astral Souls of this world were unlucky. They did not get to grow, or rather, they were attacked by the Ancient God and the Void Demon. They were defeated before their power reached its peak. In the end, they were devoured by the Ancient God without even having the chance to transform into the Dark Titan.
As for the unknown Ancient God, after devouring the Dark Titan, it underwent some kind of transformation. It broke away from its original huge body and left behind this incomparably huge mountain of flesh.
In other words, the situation in this world was the first one he guessed. There was a powerful existence that had hidden the traces of the Astral Souls' existence.
And that existence was most likely the Primordial God that had successfully devoured the Astral Soul and transformed.
From this, Lin Xiao thought of something deeper. The Ancient God was the instinctive resistance of this crystal wall. If the Ancient God had successfully devoured the Astral Souls and transformed, what would it have transformed into? Where would it have gone after transforming and hiding itself? How many such terrifying existences were there in this world? Did the two Sovereigns know about this?
At this moment, Lin Xiao had many questions in his mind. He wanted to ask the human Sovereigns, but his rationality told him to keep this a secret. Perhaps there would be additional benefits, or perhaps this was an opportunity.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he could not help but shiver. He immediately realized the danger of this idea.
"I need to contact my real body!"
