The sudden destruction of several star domains could only have been caused by Creator God. Fortunately, Shadow Star still remained, and the Nature Clan experts had arrived, preventing complete annihilation.
Whoosh!
At this moment, several Lord Gods emitted powerful auras, as they began to summon their subordinates.
Figures kept appearing around them-powerful experts from various races, including many from The Overseer.
Upon learning that they were aligning with John, these experts weren’t pleased, but they had no choice.
Even the Lord Gods had joined John’s side. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do about it.
“Godslayer.” Nature God found John and spoke, “I need to see Ben from the Beast Clan and Flower Fairy.”
Ben? Jean?
John was puzzled. He couldn’t understand why Nature God would know about these two and be interested in them.
Ben and Jean weren’t particularly focused on cultivation. They were still lower-tier gods at best.
Could it be that there was something special about them?
John glanced at Ice Talker, who shook her head, clearly just as clueless.
“In my World-in-Hand.” John could sense that Nature God didn’t harbor any malice, so he gave a simple reminder and led both of them into his World-in-Hand.
He asked Sini to call for Ben and Jean.
“Big Brother, you’re looking for me?” Jean skipped over excitedly and affectionately looped her arm through his.
She had always been carefree.
Ben gave him a nod and then noticed Nature God standing nearby. His brows furrowed.
He didn’t recognize Nature God, but he could sense the terrifying aura emanating from them, far surpassing the peak of upper-tier gods.
It seemed that this person was the legendary Lord God.
Nature God looked at John and said, “I need to speak with them privately.”
“Alright.” John nodded and stepped aside.
With a wave of his hand, Nature God summoned the power of space laws, leading the two to the edge of World-in-Hand. They directly locked the surrounding space to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
John grew more confused; he felt that Nature God was shrouded in mystery.
He turned to Ice Talker and asked, “Do you know if Ben and Jean have any special traits?”
“I’m not sure.” She shook her head, her face also filled with confusion.
…
At the edge of World-in-Hand, once Nature God was certain that no one could probe into their conversation, they turned toward Ben and Jean, saying, “Long time no
see, Massive Mirror, Five-colored Stone.”
“Y-You know my true form!” Ben stepped back, his expression wary.
However, Jean appeared a little puzzled and curiously examined Nature God.
Whoosh!
A golden light shimmered, and behind Nature God appeared a golden tower. The surrounding aura became ancient and profound.
“Heidern Tower!” Ben gasped, looking at Nature God with a mix of awe and recognition. His hostility faded away.
So, this person was the Heidern Tower’s reincarnation. No wonder they knew their true forms.
Nature God nodded and turned to Ben, speaking, “I want to know what our plans were, and if we succeeded in the end.”
The Massive Mirror, like Heidern Tower, was an ancient artifact with the incredible ability to glimpse into the future.
“Are you saying we should go against Creator God?” Ben furrowed his brows, his expression helpless. He sighed and added, “I advise you not to learn the outcome.”
“Did we fail?” Nature God’s voice trembled slightly.
Ben nodded. After a brief hesitation, he spoke up, “I saw that everyone died-every living being, all the star domains, The Overseer, Lord Gods, and even Godslayer.”
“Big brother will die?” Jean frowned, pouting and casting a dissatisfied glare at Ben.
She suspected that he was cursing John.
Nature God glanced at Jean and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you tell her about her true identity?”
Ben shook his head and turned his gaze to Jean, his expression warm and gentle. “The outcome has already been decided. There’s nothing we can change. I just want this little one to grow up happy and carefree.”
Jean rolled her eyes and spoke up, “I already know that I’m the reincarnation of the Five- colored Stone and that I have a mission. Big brother will definitely be fine.”
The Five-colored Stone, also known as the Creative Stone, was one of the Ancient Artifacts,
with the greatest power being Resurrection-rebirth.
Now, it was Ben’s turn to be surprised. He said, “You… you’ve awakened too?”
“Tch, I’m strong, okay?” Jean puffed out her chest, looking quite pleased.
Nature God smiled, feeling the little one’s optimism. He asked, “Even the Five-colored Stone can’t change this?”
Ben shook his head. “It only gives you one more life. But as you’ve sensed, the new Heaven’s Laws are slowly devouring the old ones. The creation of a new world is inevitable. We, the products of the old era, will be erased. There’s nothing we can do to change that.”
The Massive Mirror foresaw the future, and Ben had witnessed the formation of the
new Heaven’s Laws, the collapse of the universe, and the suffering of all beings. Everyone’s efforts would ultimately be in vain.
He had avoided speaking of this for a long time, because anyone who knew such a fate would
fall into despair, and give up entirely.
Nature God furrowed his brows but still insisted, “Maybe there’s still a chance.
Isn’t Godslayer the savior you saw in your prophecy?”
“Maybe…” Ben sighed deeply, his gaze distant. He had seen John’s fate-twice dead, yet it
had not changed a thing.
“Big brother will be fine.” Jean spoke up firmly, glaring at the two with a resolute look.
Ben gave a bitter smile but didn’t argue.
Though hope may fade, it was still better than having no hope at all.
“I believe you.” Nature God smiled and said.
He had originally planned to reveal Jean’s mission, but it seemed the little one already knew
everything.
“Let’s go back. And remember, do not tell Godslayer about this.” He reminded them, his heart shifting. He tore open the fabric of space and appeared where the others had just disappeared.
John and Ice Talker were still waiting at the original spot, and upon seeing the three return, they immediately approached.
“Master.” Ice Talker looked at Nature God with a questioning gaze, ready to speak.
Nature God shook his head and answered calmly, “Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed.”
John was speechless. This Nature God was just like Ben-so cryptic.
“Big brother, I’m going to meditate and cultivate.” Jean waved and ran off to the Tree of Life to begin her cultivation in seclusion.
John was left dumbfounded. This was the first time the little girl had actively asked to enter closed-door cultivation.
He couldn’t help but glance at Nature God, curious about what exactly this old man had said
to Jean. Ahem. Nature God cleared his throat twice, noticing John’s curious gaze. He didn’t want to keep talking about Jean and decided to change the subject. Instead, he asked, intrigued, “Godslayer, how did your subordinate Cand-Dragon advance to become a Lord God?” “By refining the Divine Core, of course. Didn’t you know?” John asked, puzzled. During the chaos of battle, he had once again obtained four Lord God Divine Cores, and now, with his help, he could elevate four of his subordinates to Lord God strength. “Refining the Divine Core?” Nature God was taken aback. “Didn’t he suffer the backlash from
the Heaven’s Laws?”
To become a Lord God, one would typically need the help of Creator God. Attempting to refine a Divine Core on one’s own would result in a backlash from the Heaven’s Laws, erasing the
consciousness and turning the person into a puppet of Creator God.
John nodded. “There was a backlash from the Heaven’s Laws, but I broke it.”
Nature God’s eyes widened in shock. “You can break the Heaven’s Laws?” He looked
at John with a mixture of astonishment and excitement.
If that were the case, it meant that they could produce Lord Gods in large numbers.
Moreover, Nature God could feel that Cand-Dragon, like him, was still practicing the
old Heaven’s Laws.
As long as the old Heaven’s Laws still existed, Creator God could not easily destroy the world, and their chances of victory had just increased.
A thought crossed Nature God’s mind, and he took out five Lord God Divine Cores, handing
them to John.
These were all obtained by him after slaying newly ascended Lord Gods. The others still had more than twenty such cores in their possession.
He had originally thought these Divine Cores were lost, as many of them had been devoured
by spatial turbulence.
“Godslayer, help those two little girls reach Lord God strength first. They wield the Power of the Nine Nether and the power of Star Dust, both of which will be extremely beneficial to you.” Nature God said, referring to Sini and Tracy.
John frowned and replied, “The Divine Cores can only be refined by peak upper-tier gods.
Their ranks are too low.”
Both Sini and Tracy were only lower-tier gods, and they hadn’t even reached the mid-tier
gods. To elevate them to upper-tier gods would be impossible within a few years, even with his help.
And Creator God wouldn’t give him that much time.
“I have a method.” Nature God said, pulling out a dozen jade bottles. A faint, pleasant
fragrance wafted from them.
John couldn’t help but swallow. The various cultivation techniques he practiced began to automatically activate under the influence of the faint, fragrant scent.
“What is this?” He examined it with curiosity.
[Spiritual Liquid: Contains special powers, can be consumed directly. One drop of Spiritual Liquid can increase one level, with a maximum increase to upper-tier gods level.] [Spiritual Milk: Contains special powers, can be consumed directly. One drop of Spiritual Milk can increase ten levels, with a maximum increase to the peak of upper-tier gods.] “Directly increasing levels!” John was astonished. He hadn’t expected such a treasure to exist.
Leveling up was notoriously difficult, especially in the later stages. For upper-tier gods, each level required trillions of experience points.
Yet, this Spiritual Milk could directly increase a person’s level by ten!
Nature God continued, “I have more than 10,000 bottles of Spiritual Liquid and over 1,000 bottles of Spiritual Milk. The other Lord Gods also have quite a few.”
Each bottle of Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Milk contained 100 drops. With just 2,000 bottles
of Spiritual Milk, it would be enough to help the two women reach the peak of upper-tier gods and refine their Lord God Divine Cores.
A thought crossed John’s mind, and he led everyone to Purple Sky City, where he found the
other Lord God experts.
Though they had pledged allegiance, he didn’t fully trust them yet and didn’t dare allow them into his World-in-Hand just yet.
“Hand over all the Spiritual Milk, Spiritual Liquid, and Skill Stones you have,” John ordered.
Although the others were reluctant, they couldn’t refuse outright, so they obediently handed over the Spiritual Milk, Spiritual Liquid, and Skill Stones.
In total, John received over 45,000 bottles of Spiritual Liquid, just over 2,000 bottles
of Spiritual Milk, and around 700 million Skill Stones.
He knew these people were hiding some of their stock, but the amount of Spiritual
Milk, Spiritual Liquid, and Skill Stones was enough to elevate the two women to the peak of upper-tier gods. He didn’t feel it was too much of an overreach.
