Bai Ge's punch had caused a great commotion. The force of the punch alone was enough to throw the climate of the whole world into chaos.
The surging shockwave had deeply affected the ocean, the earth, and the sky.
Visually, the ocean and the clouds had been separated. The evaporated air was hundreds of degrees Celsius, and it kept spreading to the surroundings, bringing with it tsunamis.
Thousands of kilometers along the coast of Pangu Continent were hit by high-temperature hurricanes. In a few hours, they would cool down to liquid, condense into boiling water, and wash the earth again.
If this was not a civilization of cultivators, a disaster of this level would have caused a great number of casualties.
Fortunately, natural disasters were no longer a problem for this civilization, and the tsunamis and hurricanes were all blocked.
The huge sinkhole in the ocean created by Bai Ge's punch had healed, and Ke Long's broken body was brought to the manor by Bai Ge.
The spectators on Zhihu Island had all been sent flying and landed in the distance in a sorry state.
The City Lord wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Looking at the recording device in his hand, he wanted to record the duel between Immortals and study it later.
He did not expect that the battle would be over with just one punch.
He could not understand the punch at all, and did not know what kind of divine ability it was.
The energy that bloomed in it was as if it could split heaven and earth. Although it was only for a moment, it made it extremely dazzling, and in that brief flash of light, it killed Ke Long.
"Master! You won! "Luo Yan could not believe the result. She did not expect Bai Ge to win so easily.
Bai Ge smiled, threw Ke Long's head to the ground, and said, "Hey, you're not dead yet, are you?"
Ke Long slowly came to his senses. Although he was not dead, he had been beaten senseless.
The power of the punch was beyond his wildest dreams, especially the energy that bloomed in it. It was constantly changing and moving, containing extreme chaos, but also seemed to have a pattern.
It had destroyed his body as easily as crushing dry weeds, and his many defensive means were insignificant in front of it.
"What kind of power is this?" Ke Long asked, as if in a dream.
"The energy of creation."
As Bai Ge spoke, Ke Long's eyes lit up as he looked at Bai Ge excitedly. But, he seemed to be so excited that he fainted on the spot.
It was obvious that his injuries were too severe. Coupled with the fact that he was constantly thinking about the wonderful energy changes he had just discovered, he had been in a daze for too long and hadn't been able to heal himself immediately. At this moment, he had finally lost consciousness.
Seeing that he had fainted, Bai Ge did not know if he would die, so he directly put it into his brain hole and gave it to Ling Dang to analyze.
However, Bai Ge did not expect that the energy required to analyze the body of an immortal would be as high as hundreds of millions of kilowatts.
"Why does analyzing a body require so much energy?" He looked at the characteristics of substances in his mind. Complex things often consumed some energy, but it was very little. On the other hand, using it on anomalies didn't cost much, because anomalies weren't complicated at all, they only had their own unique characteristics.
He didn't expect the body of an immortal to be so complicated. Hundreds of millions of degrees of electricity was enough to manifest a very good characteristic.
"The body of an Immortal is too complicated. What a masterpiece … There is a fundamental difference between an Immortal and an Immortal. In theory, Ke Long is immortal," Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge's eyes lit up.
Soon, he shared Ling Dang's analysis with him. Only then did he understand why immortals were said to be immortal.
They weren't truly immortal, but their lifespan was as long as the heavens. The 'heavens' here referred to the celestial bodies in the universe.
An Immortal stage cultivator would possess a Primordial Spirit. After that, the Primordial Spirit would continue to grow and ascend after the tribulation.
The Primordial Spirit here referred to the fact that the Primordial Spirit no longer needed to be with the body. The Primordial Spirit would be able to freely traverse the universe and control the body from hundreds of millions of miles away. Ascension meant that the Primordial Spirit would travel through space and attach the Primordial Spirit to an external object.
For example, the Earth, the Sun, or the various celestial bodies in the galaxy.
After entrusting, one's lifespan would be bound to one's body. As long as the celestial body did not die, the immortal would not die. Furthermore, the body would be strengthened to the same extent as the most durable part of the celestial body.
Some weak Primordial Spirits would have their bodies destroyed during the tribulation, but they would survive and their Primordial Spirit would barely be immortalized. At this level, it would be very difficult for them to travel through space and find a celestial body worth attaching to, so they could only stay on their home planet and attach themselves there.
This was the Earth Immortal stage. In the beginning, Earth Immortals were extremely powerful because their home planet Earth was was a very good target.
However, as the number of Earth Immortals increased, there was a limit to the number of Earth Immortals who could attach themselves to the same celestial body.
Therefore, other than the ancient Earth Immortals, the modern Earth Immortals were not as good as real Divine Immortals.
Space was so vast that any Divine Immortal could find a planet or even a small planet in space. It might be much better than attaching themselves to Earth.
Of course, as the civilization's colonization of outer space progressed, the Tribulation Transcendents no longer stayed on their home planet. They would often find a target to attach themselves to during the tribulation and ascend on the spot.
There were some powerful groups that directly monopolized the ownership of celestial bodies in the galaxy. Auctioning celestial bodies was a profitable business.
Ke Long was a Divine Immortal. His Primordial Spirit was attached to a small planet 14 light years away. He wasn't very weak, but he wasn't very strong either.
This was because when he attached himself to the small planet, it already had an owner. A certain Immortal had taken a large share of it.
"Why didn't he attach himself to a meteorite?" Bai Ge touched his chin and asked.
Ling Dang said, "Because meteorites are dead. They must be attached to a celestial body with a moving core. When its core stops moving, the Immortal's lifespan will come to an end. Moreover, Immortals can enjoy the core energy of the celestial body they attach themselves to from a distance. They can achieve an endless supply of magic power. "
The Immortals of this civilization were very powerful. Their lifespan was as long as the heavens, and their magic power was inexhaustible.
However, these weren't absolute characteristics. They weren't truly infinite. If their natal celestial body was destroyed, their physical body would die no matter where it was.
The core energy of a planet or even a star was limited. Converting it into magic power was equivalent to disappearing into thin air. Therefore, the more energy used, the greater the damage to the core of the celestial body until it condensed and stopped moving.
Once the core stopped moving, even if the planet still existed, it would already be dead.
Even so, it was enough for the Immortals to use for a few million years while the core continued to move as usual.
"What a wonderful method. Attaching one's Primordial Spirit to a celestial body that has existed for eternity in the universe. Through this, one can obtain immortality. Their lifespan is often in the hundreds of millions," Bai Ge exclaimed.
Thinking about it, this civilization was only three million years old. This meant that the first Immortal of this civilization was probably still alive and very young.
When Bai Ge saw that Ke Long's body was rapidly recovering, he immediately released him from the hole in his mind.
He didn't intend to kill him, and he couldn't kill him. It would only be possible if he killed him tens of billions of times.
He saw Ke Long lying on the ground. His broken head was continuously supplying magic power to reconstruct his physical body. In just a few minutes, he was as good as new.
Because Bai Ge had given him a head start, he had recovered so quickly. In fact, even if Bai Ge blasted him until nothing was left, he could still recover or be reborn in the celestial body that he had attached himself to.
However, this would take a long time. It could take decades or even centuries. This was also why Ke Long called it death. To him, it was a real experience of death. It was just that he could be reborn.
"Unbelievable. You can actually kill me once … I still can't believe it. Are you really not an Immortal?" Ke Long exclaimed. He looked at Bai Ge with horror in his eyes.
He was very sure that Bai Ge was not an Immortal. The reason was simple. He could directly see that Bai Ge's soul had not immortalized. Immortalized souls were in human form, not in spherical form.
Many Immortals liked to split a fake soul and place it in their body to observe and communicate with other people's Primordial Spirits. Ke Long was the same.
The fake soul of an Immortal was also in human form. It was much stronger than the Primordial Spirit of the Dongxu Stage. In order to prevent it from being possessed, Ling Dang did not dare to absorb it. It was still in Ke Long's reconstructed body.
Bai Ge smiled. "You lost."
Ke Long was very embarrassed and even humiliated. However, he didn't lose his mind.
In his eyes, if Bai Ge could defeat him once, he could defeat him twice.
Accepting defeat seemed to be his only choice. As for breaking his promise and running away, that was even more humiliating. Whether it was his state of mind or the public opinion of this society, he would not be allowed to do so.
"Tell me, how are you going to deal with me?" Ke Long said sullenly. He never thought that he would lose.
Thinking back to that terrifying punch, he felt that his defeat was justified. Whether it was the strength, the angle of the attack, or the terrifying energy, they were all extremely terrifying.
Even an Immortal ten times stronger than him would be vaporized by that punch.
"From now on, you are my follower. You will answer whatever I ask you and do whatever I tell you to do. Don't worry, your Primordial Spirit is attached to the asteroid anyway. I won't take your life. "Bai Ge smiled.
Ke Long's face darkened. However, he didn't want to go back on his word. He could only grit his teeth and say, "One year."
"Okay, tell me about the Immortals first. Let's start with the strongest … "Bai Ge asked.
Without a doubt, he wanted to find out how strong the strongest Immortals of this civilization were.
Ke Long said, "The strongest Immortals are, of course, attached to the sun. In today's world, there have been nine Sun Immortals since ancient times. Together, they control the seven major star systems of the Immortal Empire. "
Bai Ge immediately understood. Every star system they occupied would naturally give rise to one more Sun Immortal. Furthermore, Sun Immortals wouldn't allow others to share celestial bodies with them.
The reason why there were only seven star systems was that the neighboring three star systems had three stars, which could give rise to three Sun Immortals.
"Is the sun above our heads the most powerful one?" Bai Ge asked.
"No, it's the Scarlet Emperor. His Primordial Spirit was attached to an asteroid, and he was about as strong as I am. However, after discovering that super sun a hundred years ago, he took his asteroid and plunged into that sun regardless of all obstacles. All the other Immortals attached to that asteroid died. He was the only one who succeeded in attaching his Primordial Spirit to that super sun and became the most powerful Immortal. "Ke Long sighed.
Soon, he told Bai Ge about that major event a hundred years ago. This was a major event that all the Immortals of this civilization knew about. It could be said that this was the first time an ordinary Immortal had become an Emperor.
Once the Primordial Spirit was attached, there was no second chance. Every time a Sun Immortal arrived at a new star system, the stars there would be monopolized by the Sun Immortals and provided to their descendants.
The only way to change the object of attachment was to desperately fuse one's Primordial Spirit into a certain star and fight for that theoretical chance of survival. Failure meant death.
No one had ever succeeded. The Scarlet Emperor was the only one who had ever succeeded. He was extremely lucky.
"That super sun was extremely majestic, and it almost encompassed the entire star system. It was extremely bright in the night sky, and it could even be seen here at night …" Ke Long described the star and said, "This was the most powerful sun, so it naturally nurtured the most powerful Immortal."
Bai Ge immediately recognized that it was a red giant!
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ke Long was confused. "What are you laughing about? That sun was extremely huge, and its diameter was several thousand times that of the sun here! The Scarlet Emperor desperately sacrificed his own Primordial Spirit in order to obtain a chance of survival. He was the role model for all of us ordinary Immortals. What's so funny about that? "
Bai Ge sighed. "Bigger stars aren't necessarily better …"
"Red giants are the later years of a star …"
