Chapter 416 The Earth is gone!
The cosmic sea.
In a vast void that seemed to be condensed from endless ice crystals, a hunchbacked old man with countless purple beards, a snake body in the lower half and a human body in the upper half appeared out of thin air with drooping eyelids, walking in the dark starry sky and heading straight to the center of the endless ice crystals, where there was an exquisite palace.
Inside the palace, there was a blazing fire, and next to the fire, a simple old man in a green robe sat cross-legged. He clearly did not deliberately emit pressure, but endless pressure was faintly emanating from his body, a pressure that made people tremble with fear and involuntarily submit.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Puti prostrated himself on the ground respectfully. The dignified Lord of the Universe, the great existence that made countless creatures tremble in fear, now seemed like a boneless earthworm.
The old man in green robe slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes, there seemed to be the rise and fall of the stars in the universe, with vicissitudes and majesty intertwined. His gaze fell on Puti who was crawling on the ground as if it were real.
He raised his hand slightly, and his voice was friendly but could penetrate the endless void and echoed in Puti's ears: "Get up, Puti."
These simple words contained unquestionable power. Puti only felt an invisible force gently lifting him up.
"The teacher called you here for an extremely important matter, which concerns the teacher's future." The hermit sighed slightly, and that sigh seemed to have been precipitated through countless years, carrying endless heaviness.
"Teacher, you said that I would definitely get it done for you, even if it means going through fire and water!" Puti was not only the hermit's eldest disciple, but also his soul slave. Upon hearing what the hermit said, he wished he could devote his heart and soul to him.
"Haha, don't be so excited. Although this matter is very important, it is not difficult. The reason why I remind you is mainly to ask you to be careful and keep it secret." The hermit picked up a flame, and the flame changed into various shapes in his hand, as if it had life. "Take this thing, it is the most important thing on this trip."
When the flames died down, what appeared in the palm of the hermit's hand was a round object carved out of smooth rock. There were some incomprehensible markings on it, and in the center was a pointer made of the same material.
There is no sophistication at all in it, and at first glance one might think it is just a toy of some naughty child.
"Teacher, what is this?" Puti took the round cake-like object and felt his hands sink. He couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Such a small piece weighs as much as a vast continent?"
For a strong man like the Lord of the Universe, let alone 'small things' like picking stars and taking the moon, which even immortals can do, even destroying galaxies and star fields is just a matter of flipping his hands. The only things that can make them feel a little heavy are probably the vast continents measured in light years.
"Haha, this is the 'Qingfeng Stone Heart'. If it is used to refine treasures, it can be the core of the most powerful treasure. Its weight is just its most inconspicuous feature." The hermit stroked his beard.
Can it be used to refine the most powerful treasure? Puti couldn't help but be amazed, and at the same time, a burning desire rose in his heart... How great it would be if he could ask the teacher to refine one for him.
What a pity, it’s just wishful thinking.
The hermit did not pay attention to Puti's expression or thoughts, but continued speaking.
"Take this 'Stone Heart Compass' and wander around the demon tribe area quietly. This compass will guide you in the right direction... When all 32 strings of this compass light up, you will record the star coordinates of that place."
"There may be more than one place, so I want you to be as detailed as possible and not miss anything."
Puti was startled: "Teacher, is it that simple?"
"It's that simple." The hermit nodded.
Puti was confused, but seeing that the hermit had no intention of continuing to explain, he did not dare to ask any more: "Puti understands."
"Go."
"Remember, keep it secret."
"It doesn't matter if the time is a little slower, but you must make sure that nothing is missed." The hermit advised.
"Yes."
Puti stood up, bowed slightly, and then left this dangerous place in the cosmic sea.
When the only sounds left in the vast and dangerous place were his own breathing and the crackling of the burning flames, the hermit muttered to himself, "Tianlang... you are truly a miracle that makes my jaw drop."
He also watched the battle that took place in the original universe. Although his real body was not there, the incarnation of divine power was able to be present at the scene.
"The Secret Art of Will!"
"The secret method of body refining!"
"You actually got these two things that don't belong to this world... What surprised me most is that you actually succeeded in your cultivation!!!"
"Incredible, incredible!"
As a God King in his previous life, Zuo Shan Ke was no stranger to the secret arts of will and body refining. He had never encountered them face to face before, but now he saw Xu Yang performing them from a distance, and he could tell at a glance that they came from the origin continent. Even though he couldn't tell that they were "Glorious Golden Body" and "Demon Refining Hundred Tribulations" because of the distance, the fact that Xu Yang, a mere master of the universe, could successfully practice these two secret arts was enough to make Zuo Shan Ke doubt his life.
Although the Body Refining Secret Technique is not as precious as the Willpower Secret Technique, it is definitely not a common commodity in the Origin Continent. Most of the Void True Gods are not qualified to practice it. The Willpower Secret Technique is even worse. The Eternal True Gods who can practice it are rare. The reason is not only that the Willpower Secret Technique is precious and difficult to access, but also that it is difficult to practice and difficult to get started!
This means that even on the Origin Continent, being able to successfully cultivate the Secret Art of Will at the Eternal True God level is already very good. If you can successfully cultivate at the Void True God level, you will be a genius worthy of praise from countless ancient beings. What about lower levels? It is almost unheard of. Even the core members of the two ancient countries are probably unable to successfully cultivate the Secret Art of Will at the True God level!
And now, in front of him, there was actually a "peerless genius" who had cultivated the secret art of will by the Lord of the Universe? It was almost enough to shatter his three views as the God King of Jin in his previous life.
"What is going on here? Could it be that..." The hermit muttered to himself in a daze, and before he finished speaking he broke a taboo.
Rumble~~~~
Suddenly, an invisible pressure descended and enveloped the surroundings of the exquisite palace. This was the pressure of the original will of the primordial universe. Obviously, the unconscious words of the hermit just now had a tendency to reveal secrets that did not belong to this cosmic sea... Even though the hermit was the only living being here, he was still not allowed. The anger of the original will of the primordial universe forcibly stopped him.
"Haha, you're angry already. Haha, I won't say any more." The hermit's eyes glowed again, and he smiled and said to the void, "No matter what secrets the wolf has, as long as he doesn't block my way, he is not an enemy."
"Last time, the essence and luck of the original universe were concentrated on the human race, giving birth to the amazing person who was almost certain to transcend. And it was with the help of the human race's luck that I created the Yanshen race." The hermit said to himself while counting on his fingers and speaking in a taboo-free manner, "This time, it is obvious that the essence and luck of the original universe have been transferred to the demon race, otherwise the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf who even I cannot understand would not have appeared..."
"Then... I will use your energy and luck to create a new race, hoping to carry my..."
Before he finished the second half of his sentence, the hermit shut up. He knew without probing that once he said it, this dangerous place would be blown up by the furious original will of the universe.
The Stone Heart Compass that he had just called Puti over and gave him was the most special treasure that could help him find the best fortune for the demon clan. In the entire universe, only he, the supreme treasure refining grandmaster, could refine it.
The reason why he handed it over to Puti instead of doing it himself was because his target was too big in the original universe.
Don’t think that only the human race has a virtual universe covering the territory in the entire original universe, which makes them seem to have the most timely monitoring and early warning. But in fact, every superpower has its own early warning mechanism! If the strongest people in other universes can come and go freely, can it still be called a territory?
If it were so simple, why did the three races of humans, insects and machines have to confront each other head-on with such fanfare? Wouldn't it be much easier if the three strongest men could just sneak into Mengzu City, surround Mengcha, and destroy Mengzu City to pieces?
In fact, every strongest person in the universe is like a firefly in the dark night in the original universe. If they do not invoke divine power or make their words come true, it will be fine. But once they do, they will definitely be discovered by the strong people of the same level nearby.
Therefore, Zuo Shanke does not plan to enter the demon clan's territory to search for it himself. He can leave this "low-tech" task to his subordinates, and he only needs to screen whether the coordinates are qualified when the time comes.
Wow~~~~
The hermit raised his hand, and in his palm, countless brilliant phantoms of gene fragments began to flicker and jump. They seemed to have their own consciousness, interweaving and colliding with each other, making a subtle buzzing sound, telling the mystery of life.
These gene fragments are colorful, red like fire, burning with the passion of life, blue like water, containing profound wisdom, green like forest, full of vitality... The hermit's fingers danced gently, like the most powerful musician conducting a grand symphony, and those gene fragments were combined at will under his control.
At the same time, Zuo Shanke murmured to himself: "The last time I created the Yanshen Clan, I focused too much on physical strength. Although their genetic endowment is extreme, their spiritual shortcomings are too obvious. In the face of many crises and challenges, their spiritual fragility has become a fatal injury." In fact, he had placed extremely high hopes on the Yanshen Clan in the beginning, but unfortunately, the subsequent development disappointed him.
He stared at the gene fragment in his palm and continued, "This time, we must do the opposite. Spiritual attributes will be the core advantage of this new race."
At first, countless gene fragments gathered together in a disorderly manner, but as the hermit's thoughts guided them, they gradually took shape. The gene fragments intertwined with each other, like delicate silk threads weaving a complex pattern.
Soon, a vague outline that looked like a beast but not a beast, like a human but not a human gradually took shape. Its body structure combined the advantages of many creatures, with smooth and powerful muscle lines and bones as hard as steel, able to withstand strong impacts. But the hermit just frowned slightly and waved his hand gently, and this unfinished prototype of life dissipated into gene fragments and returned to his palm.
"No, this still won't work. Physical strength is important, but it can no longer be shown outwardly like the Yanshen Clan. We only need to write a small recessive gene for them. The real dominant attribute must be spiritual." The hermit frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of enlightenment.
Once again, the gene fragments turned into countless tiny particles, which were suspended and rotated in the air, forming a huge vortex. In the center of the vortex, the power of life was constantly gathering, and a tiny cell was born. This cell quickly divided, from one to two, two to four, and in the blink of an eye, countless cells were split. They quickly differentiated, some turned into tough skin tissue, some formed a beating heart, and some built a complex neural network.
However, just as this prototype was about to be completed, an inexplicable repulsive force came from the surrounding void. This force was like a warning from the original will of the original universe to this unconventional life creation. It impacted the gene chains that were being constructed, causing the cell differentiation to go out of control. The originally orderly life construction became chaotic, and the newly formed tissue began to twist and deform.
"You've crossed the line!" The hermit looked at the void with anger in his eyes. That was where the original will was spreading. "Creating life is allowed by the rules. Even you have absolutely no right to interfere with me!"
The original will of the primordial universe knows his background, but as long as he does not do anything to harm the original universe, the original will can only do such insignificant things as monitoring, warning, and threatening him, and it cannot really interfere with his behavior.
As expected, when the divine power of the hermit surged, he easily blocked the repulsive force, like a solid barrier, resisting the suppression of the will of the universe. At the same time, his mental power also broke out completely, manipulating the gene fragments more finely, trying to drag it back to order from chaos.
After a long and arduous effort, Zuo Shanke finally managed to stabilize the situation temporarily, but his forehead was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavily. After all, he no longer had the power of a God King, but was just a small True God.
A new round of gene combination began. This time, he added some special gene fragments. From time to time, some illusory lights like wolf shadows flashed in these fragments. Yes, these were the gene fragments from the Sky-Devouring Overlord!
The last time he killed the Sky-Devouring Overlord, he had not yet thought of relying on the demon race to copy a new race, but out of habit, he collected his genetic information before killing the Sky-Devouring Overlord.
I didn't expect that this casual habit would come in handy right now.
With the incorporation of these 'special genes', the construction of life becomes even more amazing -
The outline of a brand new race slowly emerged. They had slender limbs, each muscle contained endless explosive power, their heads were slightly tilted forward, their eyes flashed with smart and intelligent light, their backs were slightly hunched, and they had a long tail behind them.
"Although appearance is not important, being too ugly is not good either." The hermit chuckled and straightened the back of this race, and the forward-leaning head shrank slightly.
If Xu Yang were here, he would be surprised to recognize that this new race is 50% similar to the werewolves in the movies and TV shows of his previous life, except that this new race is more handsome and more capable! (End of this chapter)
