Chapter 900: The Abnormal Clone
The divine kingdom of the God King was thousands of times larger than that of the Supreme God, floating alone in the starry sky without any subordinate kingdoms around it. A true God King didn’t need subordinates, and in the divine realm, almost no one dared to invade another God King’s kingdom.
Valon’s kingdom resembled a giant sea urchin, with towering spines that made it look ferocious and terrifying—clearly not the domain of a benevolent god. Getting in wasn’t difficult, as every God King established a trading hall in their kingdom to facilitate exchanges among the gods within their territory. Of course, through these trading halls, the God Kings could also reap substantial profits.
Su Che disguised himself as a rough-looking barbarian high god and easily slipped in. Once inside the kingdom, his powerful divine sense spread across hundreds of millions of miles within its internal realm, and in the blink of an eye, he located Valon. Valon still looked bloated and ugly, sitting in his God King palace with two other barbarian God Kings, discussing something.
Su Che could tell that all three were at the level of God Kings, but he wasn’t sure whether they were their true forms or clones. The three of them were completely unaware of Su Che’s divine sense detection—this was because Su Che’s strength far surpassed theirs, and the nature of his divine sense, originating from the Immortal Universe, was vastly different from that of the gods in the Holy Radiance Universe, making it difficult for them to detect him.
“That invisible person also came in.”
The feeling of being followed hadn’t stopped. Su Che was sure that mysterious person had entered the kingdom as well.
“What exactly does this guy want?”
Lao He was also annoyed and muttered, “He knows he can’t hide from you, yet he sticks to you like glue. What a damn scoundrel!”
“Having encountered such an invisible opponent right after arriving in the Holy Radiance Universe proves that its peak warriors are even more formidable than expected.”
Su Che thought to himself, “But since his intentions aren’t clear yet, he may not necessarily be hostile toward me. So, we should just do what we need to do and act as if he doesn’t exist.”
By this point, they had already flown in front of the God King’s palace. The divine guards along the way seemed worthless in Su Che’s eyes.
Swish!
Su Che teleported into the hall in an instant. The three God Kings, including Valon, were shocked and stood up, shouting, “Who is that?”
But their ability to act was limited to that; soon they found themselves unable to move at all, and their roars remained trapped within a few yards, unable to spread outward. Su Che didn’t need to cast any spells—simply by releasing his energy, he trapped the three of them in place, effectively subduing them. In fact, it could have been even simpler: he could have knocked them out instantly and seized them with Xianyu. He did this to see how the pursuer behind him would react. “Who are you?” Valon, unable to move, was filled with fear. This helpless situation immediately reminded him of the embarrassing experience a dozen days earlier when he had been flung into space twice in a row. Su Che remained silent, too lazy to pay him any attention, instead focusing on any changes behind him. The invisible figure behind them didn’t make any move, seemingly unconcerned about Valon and the others and unwilling to interfere with Su Che’s actions. Bang! With a surge of energy, Valon and the two others collapsed instantly and lost consciousness, being effortlessly captured by Su Che and thrown into Xianyu. Once inside the fourth layer of Xianyu, their souls were immediately enslaved. For enemies whose strength was far inferior to his, soul enslavement was extremely fast—within just a dozen breaths, the three Divine Kings became his most loyal soul slaves. It was then confirmed that Valon’s physical body was not only his true divine form but also contained another Divine King avatar, the one he had seen in space a dozen days earlier. The other two Divine Kings were merely avatars. After being captured by Su Che and thrown into Xianyu, their true bodies, millions of miles away, would already know their avatars had perished and would surely take corresponding actions. However, Su Che paid no attention to their so-called countermeasures. His target wasn’t them anyway. What he needed to do now was capture Valon’s other main god-level avatar hidden outside his divine kingdom and completely eliminate this guy. With the strongest true body and avatars all captured by Su Che and severed from the Holy Light Universe, Valon’s hidden avatar would take over as his true body—meaning the real Valon wasn’t dead yet. “Valon, do you think I can catch your avatar if I set off immediately for the ‘Meteor Sea’?” Su Che asked himself. “Reply, master.”
Having just suffered soul slavery and still remaining in a kneeling position, Valon replied respectfully, “My primary deity avatar has realized that a great disaster is approaching. It has already transformed into its true divine form and, to save itself, will split into two more deity avatars, fleeing in three completely different directions. Truly, it will take considerable effort to capture it ultimately.”
Su Che nodded inwardly. It had to be said that the deities of the Holy Light Universe were extremely difficult to kill. Take Valon as an example—his primary deity avatar had already transformed into its true divine form, and with the powers granted by the laws of the universe, it could split into another primary deity-level avatar and a secondary avatar with the strength of a higher deity within fifteen minutes.
Then, the three bodies would flee separately. Even if one captured its true divine form, the primary avatar would transform back into its true form and split into another higher deity avatar. Unless all of its avatars were captured at the same time, capturing one body would only prompt it to create another, continuing this cycle until its true form dropped to the weakest level of a lower deity, at which point it would lose the ability to split further.
Like the most stubborn virus, it could keep splitting and replicating. Eradicating it completely was truly exhausting.
“This is the most formidable and abnormal survival ability of the Holy Light deities…”
Su Che thought to himself, “Coupled with the fact that the Holy Light divine power can counteract the Origin Magic, these two factors combined make them the nemesis of the Origin Demons.”
It was not hard to guess that the Origin Demons must have visited the Holy Light Universe, but they found that destroying such an abnormal universe was harder than destroying a hundred other universe worlds combined. So they gave up, seeing no need to expend so much effort for just one universe…
Thus, the Origin Demons retreated and since then have listed the Holy Light Universe as their most formidable opponent, refraining from invading it easily.
“That’s roughly the reason.”
Su Che now understood the uniqueness of the Holy Light Universe. The next two things he needed to do were: first, learn the art of creating avatars in this universe—not only for himself but also to endow the Immortal Prison Universe with such divine powers; second, figure out the fundamental reason why the Holy Light divine power could counteract the Origin Magic, that is, to understand the origin of this inner energy and how it was created.
In theory, all energy in the world ultimately derives from Chaos Energy. The question is, what is this “derivation process,” and what is its “creation formula”?
Having understood this, in his own universe in the future, he could also create such internal energy. That is, cultivators in the Immortal Prison Universe could choose to cultivate the immortal essence characteristic of immortals or the divine power characteristic of gods. Su Che had already made up his mind to set his universe as an “immortal and god world” where both gods and immortals could coexist… With the God King missing, what would happen next in Valon’s divine kingdom was no longer on Su Che’s mind. Instead, he immediately headed to a rather mysterious area in the divine realm: the Meteor Sea. There were no planets in the divine realm; instead, there were vast divine kingdoms. However, the basic materials needed to create these divine kingdoms all came from the Meteor Sea. As the name suggests, the Meteor Sea was a region where all planets had crashed, turning into an endless ocean of meteorites. Ordinary beings could not survive in this area at all. Valon’s main god-level divine avatar had been hiding inside one of the meteorites in the Meteor Sea for a long time. By the time Su Che found this coffin-like meteorite three days later, it had already escaped. Su Che was neither disappointed nor surprised by this. In fact, he hadn’t come to the Meteor Sea to capture Valon. That guy’s strength had dropped to the main god level, and he would not pose a threat to the Mo Lin Star Region for at least tens of thousands of years. There was no need to kill him. What really interested Su Che was that the core area of the Meteor Sea was extremely dangerous—a desolate place even the gods of the divine realm avoided. There were rumors that the core area of the Meteor Sea was connected to the Heavenly Realm, and several divine emperors from the Heavenly Realm had once ventured down from here and successfully returned to the divine realm. If one could go down, they might be able to go up as well. Su Che thought that perhaps he could use this place to reach the Heavenly Realm. Su Che was not a god of the Holy Light Universe, so he couldn’t obtain permission from the laws of heaven and earth to ascend to the Heavenly Realm in a proper way. Thus, he had no choice but to sneak in. There were two ways to sneak in: one was to find a natural passage like the Meteor Sea and venture to the Heavenly Realm; the other was to search desperately within the Chaos Inner Realm to find the correct entrance. Logically, the mortal world, the divine realm, and the Heavenly Realm were all connected to the Chaos Inner Realm. But the problem was that for an outsider like Su Che, finding the correct location in the vast chaos might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Time was the most scarce resource, so it was better to choose a spatial passage like the Meteor Sea. The Meteor Sea—a sea of endless meteorites. At this moment, Su Che was at its edge.
Along the way, he saw many high-ranking gods gathering the basic materials for building their divine kingdoms in the outermost regions. They took the huge meteorites they deemed valuable and stored them in their personal spaces, then transported them over long distances back to the main godly realm, gradually constructing their divine kingdoms, just like building houses.
This was an extremely massive project; even the mighty gods, who seemed omnipotent in the eyes of ordinary people, would need tens of thousands of years to complete it.
Boom!
A huge meteorite floating before him was shattered by Su Che’s gaze. Some special substances were absorbed from the debris and sent to the Immortal Prison.
“There are indeed some good things here,” Su Che thought with a smile. “Even if they’re useless to me, giving some of these ‘divine artifacts from beyond the heavens’ to the mortal cultivators on the Immortal Prison planet would be a great opportunity…”
