Winner Takes All, the Law of the Jungle
Ma Xinjie's self-healing ability is far inferior to Lu Li's.
Spinal and cervical vertebrae fractures heal extremely slowly, taking at least two days to recover.
Carrying it in his hand was rather cumbersome, so Lu Li threw the fang into the "Kunlun Mirror" to imprison it, and also gave the order:
[Every half hour, use a gamma burst to break its cervical vertebrae, but don't kill it.]
Having arranged everything clearly, Lu Li then looked at the newly acquired female slave.
Don't be fooled by the fact that she just extracted his Yin Essence; it was all just to humiliate Ma Xinjie.
Lu Li didn't trust this woman and was pondering whether to throw her into the Kunlun Mirror to imprison her as well.
In the other world, there are already established rules regarding submission and surrender.
Himiko back the "Yasakani no Magatama" from the Earth Core and handed it over along with the Amaterasu's Sword and the Yata no Kagami.
"I have three Second-grade Magic Treasure, and they're all here."
They voluntarily surrendered their weapons, indicating that they had no intention of resisting.
Moreover, the divine sense within the magic weapon was also removed, and Lu Li easily took over it with his own divine sense, suppressing it within the spiritual realm.
With the Life Lamp at her disposal, Himiko and appearing docile.
Lu Li pinched the other person's chin, looked them in the eye, and said, "Don't you feel even a little resentment?"
Himiko's bright eyes welled up with resentment and bitterness, but she calmed down in just a second and said softly:
"It's impossible not to have some resentment, but the winner takes all and the Law of the Jungle is an immutable law. I can only accept my fate if I lose... at least I'm still alive, and I haven't been devoured by you."
The Izumo goddess was filled with helplessness, but as she spoke, she tried to find humor in her misery:
"Now that I've become your servant, you certainly won't allow Qiu Sheng and the others to eat me again."
"As long as you behave, I'll keep you safe."
Lu Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he said, "Now, tell me everything about the [Yang God]."
"The key to Yang God lies in the spiritual realm."
Himiko slowly explained:
"The spiritual realm rules of Cultivator undergoing tribulation are incomplete; ultimately, they are only partially true."
"To advance to the Yang God, the spiritual realm must be transformed into a completely real universe, which means eliminating the false and retaining the true, refining the void Combine Dao."
"At the very least, the diameter of the spiritual realm must be greater than one million kilometers; and it must be able to sustain a planet that is constantly generating life and spontaneously producing spiritual energy."
Hearing this, Lu Li asked, "So that's why you want to devour the Earth Core?"
"That's right, but it's still a shortcut."
Himiko said:
"Looking at the mysteries of space, the proper way to achieve a breakthrough should be to detonate Artificial Sun, expanding the universe while generating a large amount of matter, forming molecular clouds, and then condensing them into planets."
"But we have no physical body, no Indestructible Will, and no mental form. The Great Dao is incomplete and cannot be fully realized, so we presumptuously try to take shortcuts."
Himiko's tone was tinged with resentment:
"One wrong step leads to another; this 'Spirit-Flesh Unity' is truly harmful."
Lu Li, a fellow cultivator of divine martial arts, naturally had no such worries and was pondering the matter of detonating the Artificial Sun.
When the sun reaches the end of its lifespan, it will collapse and die, exploding as a supernova and scattering its matter throughout the universe.
Many of the substances that make up the Blue Star come from this, such as gold and platinum.
This kind of generosity from a star before its death has led to the birth of countless planets.
To do something like that in one's own spiritual realm would definitely be extremely dangerous.
Lu Li, however, naturally wanted to take the conventional route to break through, and he was full of confidence.
With the Kunlun Mirror and having acquired an entire planet today, it's entirely possible to take a gamble and go back to devour those few "rebellious children" of the Heavenly Dao.
However, Himiko is not trustworthy and requires further investigation.
At this moment, Himiko pondered in her heart:
Lu Li is a prodigy. Once he returns and eliminates Qiu Sheng and his gang, he will control three planets, giving him a very high chance of advancing to the Yang God realm!
He wouldn't possibly use up all three Earth Core, would he? Wouldn't he have a chance to get a share of one?
Even if that doesn't work, a Yang God Immortal Venerable should have a way to help me break through!
The moment this thought arose, Himiko felt as if the road ahead had suddenly become clear.
She quickly gathered everything she knew into her divine sense and transmitted it to Lu Li.
The main topics are knowledge about lightning tribulations, Yang God, and how to invade the Earth Core!
All the accumulated experience was very useful, and Lu Li nodded in satisfaction.
Himiko softly, "Master, please give me any requests, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
The young woman suddenly changed her mind. Lu Li glanced at her but didn't pay much attention. He then began to study how to invade the Earth Core.
This step is somewhat like refining a magical artifact, requiring one to imbue every part of the Earth Core with divine thought.
However, the Earth Core's core has a diameter of over 6,300 kilometers, and with our current cultivation level, it would take at least a month to completely occupy it.
There's no time for that right now, but since the planet is already ours, there's no rush.
Moreover, I can use some spiritual resources first. I got 50,000 from the Mount Tai Sect before, but I spent it all and only have a little over 10,000 left. I'm quite short of resources.
"Also, take a look at the planet's tolerance for the loss of spiritual energy."
Lu Li channeled his divine sense, probing into the "outer core" formed by lava through the Spiritual Vein.
The two Blue Star are basically identical, and both have millions of spiritual energy reserves.
"Let's try drawing 50,000 first, then we'll take the Kunlun Mirror."
Lu Li activated his divine sense and drew in 50,000 units of spiritual energy from the Earth Core, which then surged out of the ground as a blue wave of light.
The Kunlun Mirror immediately rushed forward and captured everything on its surface.
Such a massive eruption of spiritual energy was as dazzling as the aurora borealis, clearly visible within a radius of a thousand miles, and naturally, the mortals of this world also saw it.
While Lu Li was observing the planet's reaction, a helicopter rushed over.
After landing and coming to a complete stop, two well-dressed, handsome Yellow race ran out and called out in Xia Language from several dozen meters away:
"Ma Xinjie has enslaved us for years, and finally our savior has arrived!"
"On behalf of all nations and peoples on this planet, we thank you for your righteous act!"
These are the indigenous representatives who came to negotiate surrender; they even specially selected two Yellow race who speak Xia Language.
Lu Li's lips curled into a half-smile as he said:
"I'll ask you a question, and only if you can answer it can there be any room for dialogue."
"Please speak."
The two Little Yellow quickly agreed, their large think tank already Spirit Concentration to act.
But Lu Li said something strange, "Palace Jade Liquor Wine."
"Eh..."
The two Little Yellow dogs were immediately stumped, and the think tank racked their brains, but they had absolutely no idea what it meant.
Lu Li was not in a hurry, and slowly drew up another 50,000 spirit stones.
The aurora borealis is becoming increasingly dazzling, and the think tank has begun collecting clues across the internet.
At this moment, billions of people around the world are watching.
Billions of brains, plus a vast interconnected network, still haven't found the answer.
This is precisely because a civilization was wiped out so thoroughly.
Of course, some clues will always be left behind.
Given more time, the indigenous people might find the answer.
Unfortunately, Lu Li had already extracted 100,000 spirit stones, one-tenth of the total reserves.
People around the world have noticed that the sky above them seems... much clearer?
This is a gravitational imbalance caused by magnetic field anomalies, resulting in holes in the atmosphere and various rays from space bombarding down upon us.
