“Ah!!!”
However, the speed of this transformation was too fast. At first, it was nothing, but after a few seconds, his entire head swelled up, as if something was constantly digging at his brain with a hoe.
It was as if something in his head was slowly growing, forcefully trying to expand his head.
This intense pain was no less than the pain he experienced when he first awakened his mental power.
Li Xin collapsed to the ground, clutching his head, and roared in agony.
The most important thing was that Li Xin couldn't even faint during this process. The existence of the Eternal God Brain kept him clear-headed, forcing him to consciously endure this inhumane pain, which was countless times more painful than being cut into a thousand pieces.
Even after experiencing the awakening of his mental power, he still couldn't endure this pain.
While Li Xin was in immense pain, a large amount of information suddenly appeared within the Eternal God Brain. This was information related to the Eternal God Brain.
It turned out that information about the Eternal God Brain would only appear in the mind once it grew to the Planetary Level.
This was because there was too much information about the Eternal God Brain, so much that only at the Planetary Level could a portion of the information be processed. A large portion of the information remained sealed until the Eternal God Brain advanced to the Astral Rank, at which point all of it would be revealed.
There was so much information, and fortunately, Li Xin's Eternal God Brain was integrated with a computer, giving him immense processing power.
Even so, it took him a full seven days to receive this portion of the information.
But it was merely received, which was equivalent to creating various folders on a computer to store this information.
And he endured that inhumane pain for a full seven days and seven nights.

Li Family:
“Brother Houming, congratulations! Li Xin has become a Beyond God of War Level expert. The Li Family's future is limitless!”
“Lord Li, I wonder if Li Xin is married? My daughter is a God of War, and she would be a perfect match for Li Xin.”
“We would like to meet Li Xin. Lord Li, could you introduce us?”
“................”
Ever since Li Xin's strength was exposed, the threshold of the Li Family's small villa was almost worn down. Countless forces around the world wanted to visit Li Xin.
But they didn't know where Li Xin was, or even if they did, they wouldn't dare to disturb him rashly. Only when Li Xin agreed to see them could they visit; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to a powerful individual.
Just like they all knew that Hong, the world's number one, was at the Limit Martial Arts Dojo Headquarters, but without Hong's permission, they wouldn't dare to visit. This was the deterrent power of a strong individual.
“Thank you for thinking highly of my son, but he previously instructed me that he would be in seclusion and would not see anyone during this period. Even I, his father, do not know where he is.”
“However, he left a message for me, saying that he would come out of seclusion after one month. You all can come back then.”
Li Houming knew very well that these people were all here for his son, so he would not make any promises on his son's behalf.
“I see. Then we will leave these gifts here for now and return to pay our respects after one month.”
Upon hearing Li Houming's words, the visitors also tactfully did not linger, but politely said a few words and then left.
“Cultivating in seclusion? Then I'll wait a month before coming back.”
Yaorao saw this and did not immediately demand to see Li Xin. After informing Hong, she left.
“Big Brother, I never imagined Li Xin's talent would be so terrifying. After only three months, he has already become a Beyond God of War Level expert!”
“Those important figures whom we normally couldn't even meet are now so polite in front of us. It feels like a dream.”
Li Houyi, Li Xin's second uncle, couldn't help but exclaim.
“Second Brother, all of this is thanks to Li Xin. We must not become arrogant because of this and cause any trouble for Li Xin.”
“Also, have everyone in the family return, including Third Brother who is currently away.”
“With Li Xin becoming a Beyond God of War Level expert, some people will be envious, and others will be jealous. It's possible that someone might secretly target us, Li Xin's relatives, to threaten him.”
Li Houming was very clear that beneath the seemingly prosperous exterior of the Li Family, their support had always been his son.
They couldn't help Li Xin much now, but they knew that they, his family, absolutely could not become a burden to him.
“Yes, I will have Third Brother return and also restrain our family members, making sure they don't cause any trouble.”
Li Houyi nodded.
“Lord Li, this is a thank-you gift from the Blackwater Squad, delivered by our brothers. They said it's to thank Li Xin for eliminating the beast horde and saving their entire family!”
Just then, two people carried a wooden box over. Upon seeing Li Houming, they said a few words and then left.
“They actually.............”
Li Houming and the others curiously opened the box and found that it contained the heads of the entire Liu Family, who had originally relocated out of Kyoto Base City!
“Dispose of this, and don't tell Li Xin about it for now.”
Li Houming sighed. Their former arch-enemies, now annihilated because of his son's rise, and not even at their instigation, but rather by others who wanted to curry favor with his son.
................
Blackwater Squad's Station:
“Boss, we worked so hard to get the heads of the Liu Family, and we're just sending them over directly without asking for any benefit? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?”
“Yeah, Boss. If we delivered it to Li Xin in person, we'd feel it was worth it, but now we're sending it to a disabled low-level Warlord. If he doesn't mention our brothers to Li Xin, wouldn't that be a huge loss?”
Several members of the squad were puzzled by the actions of Fu Qidong, the Blackwater Squad leader.
“Hmph, you two fools, even if our Blackwater Squad didn't act, someone else would have sooner or later.”
“There's a saying in China: what's given for free is the most expensive. The fact that the Li Family hasn't given us any benefits right now is the biggest benefit. Otherwise, our relationship with the Li Family would be severed!”
“From now on, our Blackwater Squad won't go hunting in the wild anymore. We'll settle down and do business in Kyoto Base City. Once the Li Family prospers, that will be the time for our Blackwater Squad to soar!”
Fu Qidong said excitedly. Compared to the others, his vision was more long-term. Clinging tightly to the Li Family was what they needed to do most right now!
.........................
“It's finally over!”
When everything ended, the intense pain receded like a tide, and Li Xin collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted, instantly falling into a deep sleep.
He slept for a full three days and three nights before waking up. Fortunately, he had left a message for his family beforehand, telling them not to look for him during these days and not to tell others his location, allowing him to remain undisturbed for these ten days.
“Is this the new Eternal God Brain?”
Upon waking, he immediately checked the upgraded Eternal God Brain.
After the Eternal God Brain upgraded to the Planetary Level, another fist-sized Eternal God Brain separated from within it. This Eternal God Brain currently hadn't merged with anything and was still in its initial state.
Unconsciously, Li Xin's first Eternal God Brain had merged with a computer, becoming his current clone and the foundation of his rise.
“The Eternal God Brain that merged with the computer is the Main Brain, and the newly born Eternal God Brain is the Sub-Brain.”
“Both the Sub-Brain and the Main Brain can merge with all things in the universe and transform into their own clones.”
“If it merges with machinery like a computer, it will transform into a clone like those of the Automaton Race. If it merges with other inanimate objects, like rocks, it will also transform into a rock lifeform. If it merges with a living creature, it will turn that creature into its clone, and both will have the potential for infinite evolution, just like the Main Brain.”
“Most importantly, even if the Sub-Brain is destroyed, it can be restored from the Main Brain, though it will revert to its state when it first merged, and all evolution will have to start from scratch.”
“So, as long as the Main Brain is protected, there's no need to worry about the Sub-Brain's merged clone being killed. At worst, it just means starting over.”
“More importantly, because the Main Brain is merged with a computer, just like the Automaton Race, it is almost immune to soul attacks. Therefore, no one in the universe can enslave his soul, which almost maximizes his survival ability!”
Seeing this information, Li Xin's heart pounded.
Clones were something countless Immortal-level, Venerable-level, and even Universe Lord experts pursued. With clones, survival ability greatly increased, allowing them to venture into many desperate situations, at worst only losing a clone.
Now, at merely the Planetary Level, he could possess two clones. How heaven-defying was that?
Furthermore, once he upgraded the Eternal God Brain to the Astral Rank, Eternal Divine Brain No.1 would continue to give birth to a new Eternal God Brain, granting him another clone.
(To distinguish the Eternal God Brains, the first one born will be called No.1, the second No.2, and so on.)
