On Lieyang Star, inside the Heavenly Dao Tower, Pan Zhen entered alone.
"Pan Zhen pays respects to My God!"
At that moment, a rune that looked as though it had been formed from flames appeared within the Heavenly Dao Tower.
"You have returned. How did things go?"
Pan Zhen replied, "Reporting to My God, most of it was completed, but an accident occurred at the very end, causing the Nine Top-Level Warships of Lieyang to be reduced to ashes!"
"Hm? Other than that monkey, what other accident could there be on Earth Star?"
Pan Zhen said, "My God, after we destroyed seven cities, a terrifying existence at the Chief God level appeared on Earth Star.
This subject sensed that person's strength may already rival that of the King of Angels, Holy Keisha!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the Heavenly Dao Tower fell silent. Only after a long while did the Old Sun God's voice ring out.
"So that was it. I did not expect that place to truly hold such mysteries.
You need not concern yourself with this matter. Take good care of Lena. It is not yet time for her to enter the world.
The great age has yet to arrive. From this day onward, what Lieyang advocates shall be peace and prosperity for the nation and its people. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Zhen immediately said,
"Yes, this subject understands!"
"Mm. You may go. Take good care of Lieyang. And do not reveal this news."
Pan Zhen said, "Yes, this subject understands! This subject takes his leave!"
With that, Pan Zhen respectfully withdrew from the Heavenly Dao Tower. At that moment, the rune flickered unsteadily, and at last, a sigh slowly echoed out.
"Alas! I did not expect something like this to happen in the end. Is Earth Star truly so mysterious?
No wonder it is a place the Super God Academy has always studied and explored. Hehe, a new Chief God-level existence.
Not weaker than Kaisha? How interesting!"
Meanwhile, most of the Deno Civilization had already taken all the Deno people and left Earth Star for other places.
Only a small portion remained behind as researchers, helping Du Kao construct, maintain, and operate Deno Three.
However, Jiang Zhen knew nothing of these matters. At that time, he was exploring and observing the various sects, as well as those capable of cultivation.
Because of his innate super learning ability, Jiang Zhen read extraordinarily quickly. Reading ten lines at a glance was already slow for him.
With merely a sweep of his gaze, he could commit all the knowledge within those books to memory.
At that speed, Jiang Zhen spent only one or two months reading through all the knowledge related to cultivation throughout the Central Plains.
During his travels, Jiang Zhen also discovered something unusual: some people could forcibly absorb a small amount of Dark Energy through their bodies.
Using the small amount of Dark Energy within themselves to communicate with the Dark Energy outside, they could fight and unleash strength no weaker than that of an ordinary First Generation Super Soldier.
However, very few people could reach that level, and they also needed special physiques and talent.
Such people were called immortality cultivators, or Qi Practitioners.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen did not reveal himself. After studying their cultivation methods, he left.
Three months later, when Jiang Zhen appeared on Nameless Peak again, he had already memorized countless ancient texts and classics.
Jiang Zhen looked at the sky, then slowly said,
"The rest will have to be handled bit by bit by me!
I hope I can truly create an Art that allows continuous cultivation. Otherwise, scientific research is still too slow, especially when I am alone."
After saying that, Jiang Zhen directly activated his Space Talent and time talent, then set up a barrier on the mountain.
In an instant, the entire mountain vanished from Earth Star.
It caused not the slightest disturbance. It was only when Du Kao and Sun Wukong came to visit Jiang Zhen that they discovered the mountain where Jiang Zhen had been staying had disappeared.
After seeing this, Sun Wukong shrugged helplessly and said,
"Looks like he does not want to see us. Let's go back. Old Sun cannot do anything about this.
He may truly be an Ancient Great God."
Du Kao said, "Wukong, do you really think that is true? Is he truly the Yi from the legends?
If he really is Yi, then do the gods in Huaxia's ancient legends truly exist as well?"
As soon as those words were spoken, Sun Wukong shook his head and said,
"Old Sun does not know and cannot explain this matter. In any case, I can sense a feeling of familiarity from him.
It feels as though we came from the same place.
However, his feeling is even purer than mine. It makes me feel as though he is the real one while I am merely a fake."
Upon hearing this, Du Kao's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more wary of the entire Central Plains of Huaxia.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhen was continuously pondering his own cultivation method.
"This is the Supergod Universe. Logically speaking, this should be a world of technology, yet there are still some unusual things here.
For example, magic. Within the Super God Academy, there are people who can use magic.
There are even people who can use power similar to runes. That proves this world is not purely a technological world.
Or rather, this world is not one that can develop through technology alone.
The so-called cultivation methods I obtained here actually rely on special physiques, or powerful bodies.
They can absorb a little Dark Energy and integrate it into their bodies, then control it. In the end, they use a method similar to moving a thousand pounds with four ounces, using the Dark Energy within to pry at the Dark Energy outside and form relatively powerful attacks.
Their absorption methods are rather crude, but that is not a major issue. It suits me perfectly. It gives me a foundation and saves me from having to spend so much effort starting from scratch.
However, this simple cultivation does not bring about any transformation, which is why they can at most rival First Generation Super Soldiers.
I remember that in Swallowed Star, one could also absorb the energy of the Universe to cultivate.
According to them, one generally raised both palms toward the sky, sensed the Cosmic Energy between heaven and earth, and absorbed it.
However, before that, there was another condition: one's strength and speed had to reach a certain level.
That meant absorbing Cosmic Energy also required a powerful physique. Only after reaching a certain level could one absorb Cosmic Energy.
Although this Cosmic Energy was never specifically explained, it had to be the various energies existing within the Universe.
However, on that Earth Star, no one had been able to reach that stage at first. It was only after a virus swept across the world that the bodies of the survivors began to mutate.
Through training, they could strengthen their bodies to the point where they could absorb Cosmic Energy. Only then did they begin the first step on the path of cultivation.
With the physique of my Pangu Clan, absorbing Cosmic Energy should be effortless.
After all, my physique is exceptionally strong. Mere Cosmic Energy cannot harm me.
But before that, there is another issue: the problem of cultivation itself.
Simply absorbing Dark Energy here will not do.
No cultivation method succeeds through merely absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
Upon reaching a certain level, quantity must undergo a qualitative transformation.
Immortality cultivation even forms an internal golden core within the body. Some methods form things such as Crystal Cores.
When put that way, they are all transformations from quantity into quality.
In Swallowed Star, the Apprentice Level involves cultivating the body and absorbing Cosmic Energy.
At the Planet Level, a miniature planet is formed within the body. However, their planet is formed in the Sea of Consciousness.
Still, that issue requires further research. It cannot be fully trusted. Logically speaking, what forms within the Sea of Consciousness should be spiritual or soul energy.
At the Star Level, a galaxy is formed within the Sea of Consciousness.
Then, in the subsequent stages of cultivation, such as the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, World Lord Level, and so on, one begins comprehending the Law Force of the Universe.
That is akin to beginning to grasp conceptual things..."
