Bottleneck

He wasn't entirely lying. Yun Xi would indeed face an attack from the annihilating force soon, but he did intend to use this opportunity to control Yun Xi's soul. He wouldn't give up the Eternal Opportunity he had given her before.

Seeing this, the God King Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward to advise, "War Abyss God King, Yun Xi has her own considerations. We might as well think of other ways. Our primary goal now is to fight against the Abnormal God. It is not advisable to have internal conflicts."

The Chaos God King chimed in sarcastically, "Hey, Zhan Yuan, don't be too hasty. Maybe this little girl really has some hidden trump card. Let's wait and see."

The War Abyss God King glared at the Chaos God King, but still suppressed his anger. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Fine, fine, I won't force you. But you'd better find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when that annihilation power descends."

Yun Xi bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, God King. I will do my best." Although Yun Xi appeared calm on the surface, she knew in her heart that although War Abyss God King had temporarily given up the idea of planting the mark, he would definitely not give up so easily.

The War Abyss God King snorted coldly and turned to leave. But as he turned, a barely perceptible glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He secretly plotted, thinking, "This girl is so ungrateful. Since I can't do it openly, I'll have to find a way in secret. When the time is right, I must seize back that Eternal Opportunity."

The God King Lin Yuan looked at Yun Xi with unwavering eyes, his gaze filled with concern and worry.

"Yun Xi, if you truly possess that annihilation power, you must summon me as soon as possible." He said, each word distinct and resolute.

Lin Yuan also knew that Yun Xi's soul contained the secret of the Eternal Opportunity. He shared the same thought as Yun Xi, believing that War Abyss God King was most likely lying.

After all, the Eternal Opportunity was too tempting. It was highly likely that the War Abyss God King fabricated the lie of the Annihilation Force in order to seize this opportunity and force Yun Xi to submit. But regardless of whether the Annihilation Force was real or fake, they dared not be careless and had to make ample preparations in advance.

"Thank you, God King Lin Yuan. Your words have put my mind at ease. However, I cannot always rely on you. I will strive to improve my strength and find a way to break this deadlock as soon as possible."

In this dog-eat-dog world, only self-reliance offers true security. Always depending on others is not a long-term solution. She yearns to take control of her own destiny through her own efforts.

Chaos God King casually remarked, "However, this annihilation power is indeed not easy to deal with. Even I had to pay a huge price to resist it. Little girl, you'd better take care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi's heart stirred. The Chaos God King's words were like a wake-up call, instantly giving her a clear understanding.

Since even God King level being able to withstand it, then as long as I raise my Soul Power to the God King level as soon as possible, all the problems might be easily solved.

After bidding farewell to the two God-Kings, Yun Xi chose to return to the Freedom Divine Realm and began to tirelessly consume and absorb the power within the Red Crystal to strengthen her Soul Origin.

Inside the special space of the Freedom Divine Realm Core, Yun Xi sat cross-legged, holding the Red Crystal tightly in her hand, feeling the warmth coming from her palm.

She slowly closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and began to guide the power within the Red Crystal into the depths of her soul.

Earlier, in the Yilan Abnormal Domain, Yun Xi's soul strength had already undergone a qualitative leap with the help of the Red Crystal, and was already comparable to that of the main god.

That spiritual strength gave her more composure and confidence when facing ordinary challenges. She could clearly perceive the subtle energy fluctuations in the surrounding space, as if the entire world had become clearer and more vivid under her spiritual perception.

However, this seemingly huge progress is only a small step on the road to becoming God King level.

God King level beings stand at the pinnacle of the entire realm, possessing world-destroying power and unparalleled soul strength. Crossing this immense chasm is extremely difficult.

After all, she had already broken through to become High-level Deity, and despite the various enhancements that came with it, her soul strength still hadn't reached the God King level...

Every day beside the core of the Freedom Divine Realm, Yun Xi would sit cross-legged, tightly holding the Red Crystal in her hand, focusing on absorbing its power.

Countless Red Crystal gradually lost their original luster in her hands, eventually turning into ashes.

Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, Yun Xi would look at the Red Crystal in her hand, which was gradually turning to ashes, and a sense of confusion would well up in her heart. She didn't know how much more effort she would have to put in, or how many more Red Crystal she would have to consume, before she could reach the God King level.

Whenever this thought flashed through her mind, she would recall the Annihilation Power and the greedy eyes of the War Abyss God King. The confusion in her heart would instantly dissipate, replaced by an even stronger belief.

As time went by, Yun Xi had been on the path of cultivation, absorbing the power of the Red Crystal, for a long time. However, as the days passed, she clearly felt that she had entered a difficult bottleneck period.

No matter how focused she was, or how desperately she tried to guide the energy within the Red Crystal into her soul, the increase in her soul's strength became as slow as a snail's pace.

Yun Xi frowned, her eyes revealing deep thought. She knew she couldn't remain trapped in this bottleneck any longer; she had to find another way out.

She suddenly realized that while striving to increase her soul's strength, she also needed to raise the upper limit of her physical body's level. The soul and the body are inherently complementary; if the physical body cannot withstand further increases in Soul Power, then the growth of soul strength will inevitably be limited.

Looking back on her long years of cultivation, Yun Xi filled with emotion. During these years, she had studied day and night, and her understanding of the Light Rule, Freedom Rule, and Destiny Rules had already reached the Lord God Tier. Now, everything was ready; it was time to break through to the main Lord God Tier.

Yun Xi stood in the cultivation room, her body radiating a faint light, a sign of the flow of the Power of Rules within her body.

She took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and immersed herself completely in her understanding of the rules.

The Light Rule, like a blazing sun, shone brightly in the depths of her soul, illuminating every dark corner.

The Freedom Rule are like a gentle breeze, freely flowing through her consciousness, bringing a sense of ethereal ease.

The Destiny Rules are like a complex web, crisscrossing and containing endless mysteries.
