624: 623. Continuing
Lu Li and his wives left the Journey to the Journey to the West World and returned to the Sea of Consciousness.
Xiao Cha was still savoring the moment with great interest, seemingly wanting more.
"Sweeping away the Western Paradise's Spirit Mountain, all the immortals are helpless, and all the demons await their doom—how majestic!"
The illustrated version of "Journey to the West" was her most treasured possession, which she had looked at over 100 times since childhood.
Xiao Cha really wanted to enter the world of the book and make a name for herself, but unfortunately it ended too quickly, and she wasn't strong enough.
Qiu Sheng began to speak:
"The Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and Buddha are Tathagata at the level of ordinary Star God. This world is actually quite strong. If Lu Li hadn't mastered the <Primordial Chaos>, it wouldn't have been so easy to subdue it."
Xiao Cha said, "Of course! This is the Journey to the West World! Hey~ Lu Li, how much have you gained?"
"A total of 100,000 rare and precious materials should be enough to expand the spiritual realm by 10%."
Lu Li made a guess, then waved his hand, stopping the black hole's operation.
The black hole was constantly consuming energy while it was open, and now that it was no longer powered, it quickly evaporated and disappeared, leaving only a large patch of light.
These dazzling, galaxy-like substances are called "virtual particles," and they are the remnants left behind after black holes quantumly pulverize matter.
This vast area before us is precisely where the "Ten Thousand Natural Treasures" were formed.
Objects in the Journey to the Journey to the West World are powered by magic; if they go to a world without magic, their power will be greatly reduced.
Lu Li looked down on it and simply shattered it completely, restoring it to its most basic energy, which was then used by the "Kunlun Mirror" to open up a spiritual realm.
The Kunlun Mirror had already begun its work.
The "virtual particles" of the Milky Way are absorbed into the mirror and transformed into waves of almost tangible golden light, which then surge outwards with a roar.
While expanding the boundaries of the spiritual realm, it also made the entire space increasingly solid.
Although the progress is slow, it is more reliable than simple karmic force.
Seeing the opportunity, the Immortal Palace explained:
"The golden light transformed by the Kunlun Divine Mirror is called [Spiritual Essence]. It is said to be a naturally occurring spiritual essence, endowed with the wondrous craftsmanship of creation, and is of great benefit to the spiritual realm."
"Oh, is that so?"
"The Divine Mirror was originally a sky-supporting divine stone, which was later transformed into a supreme treasure by the Empress Nuwa."
Seeing that Lu Li was interested, the Immortal Palace recounted a few more lines:
"After the plan to travel far away was made, Empress Nuwa and Great God Fuxi, who were siblings, decided to go together. With the two of them together, they would surely be safe and sound, so Nuwa gave the divine realm to Shao Hao."
As we all know, they ultimately couldn't defeat the Supermassive Black Hole that had become sentient.
The divine artifact was passed down to Lu Li, and with it, a heavy responsibility fell on his shoulders.
Fortunately, it was a divine object after all, and it provided immense help along the way.
Judging solely from the speed at which it refines "spiritual essence," it is more than a hundred times faster than Lu Li's.
If Lu Li were to digest 100,000 spiritual items on his own, it would take at least a year; now it only takes 3 days.
Moreover, it doesn't require any effort, freeing up your hands to do other things.
The Immortal Palace also suggested. "[The Divine Mirror is refined extremely quickly; the young master should seek out another world and obtain some benefits.]"
Lu Li also made this plan, and set off to search in the Sea of Consciousness.
Clusters of light burst forth, but most of them were small in scale and had a very low energy level.
Lu Li was too lazy to go and bother, so he patiently wandered around for half an hour and finally saw a group of hundreds of thousands of people, but their spiritual light was exceptionally dazzling.
Like the Journey to the West World, it is likely a world with a small population but a decent level of power.
Lu Li immediately called to Wan Qing, "Let's go take a look, try to keep a low profile, and see if we can achieve the desired infiltration."
"Yes, my lord~"
Wan Qing nodded in agreement, then, as if accustomed to the way, arrived at the Sea of the Soul, tearing open the gateway to reality.
She controlled her strength, tearing only a small crack just big enough for someone to pass through, and leaped inside.
The commotion indeed subsided considerably, and accompanied by a 500-meter-long streak of lightning, Wan Qing arrived in another world.
This planet is very similar to Blue Star, but it is more yellowish-brown in color and has vast desert terrain.
"A magical world?"
Wan Qing scanned the area with her divine sense and collected a great deal of information.
This world is inhabited by many races, including humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs, who are engaged in a bloody war over something called the "One Ring."
The technological level is similar to that of the Western Middle Ages, and the concentration of spiritual energy is neither high nor low, only about one-quarter of that in the Journey to the West World.
"There's probably not much to gain in this realm... unless Lu Li lifts the restrictions."
Wan Qing was pondering this, a massive rift tens of thousands of kilometers long suddenly opened up in outer space, and Lu Li's figure emerged from it.
"It seems that no matter how well the Yang God Realm tries to conceal it, the commotion won't be small."
The commotion Lu Li caused was like the collapse of the sky; anyone with eyes could see it.
He looked at the planet so close by, slightly surprised. "The Lord of the Rings? Middle-earth."
Wan Qing asked, "Does my lord know him?"
"I don't know much about it, but I do know some of the basic characteristics."
Lu Li watched as hundreds of thousands of troops from various races clashed in the Middle-earth world, with the white-robed melee mage standing out conspicuously.
Besides these, there are also various plot characters, and even the main villain "Eye of Sauron" is not far away.
This should have been the "Battle of the Black Gate," but the battle had long since ceased. Everyone looked up at the sky in horror at the figure that was even larger than the stars.
Immediately afterwards, all the humans, elves, dwarves, orcs present—regardless of race—suddenly began to turn to dust and dissolve into the air.
They were so insignificant that simply looking directly at Lu Li caused the strong nuclear forces of their body atoms to become disordered, and their entire bodies collapsed on the spot.
The crowd screamed in panic, ran in all directions, and descended into chaos... The chaos quickly spread to the entire planet, and all intelligent life lost its mind, running and shouting wildly.
Wan Qing immediately understood: her husband was not holding back his strength, so he was probably going to use a heavy hand.
Her guess was spot on. A three-headed Demon Dragon phantom appeared in the Body Illumination Lu Li, its heads and tails intertwined and transformed into a black hole.
This time it was even smoother, and there was a sense of effortless ease and spontaneity, clearly showing a complete mastery of the <Primordial Chaos>.
However, after Lu Li created the black hole, he did not pay attention to the planet, but instead looked towards the edge of the universe.
Suddenly, a pristine white palace appeared out of thin air, and a man dressed in a white robe stepped out.
This person's face was radiant, obscuring their features, but their voice was solemn and resonant.
"I am Ilúvatar, the all-knowing and all-powerful Creator, the Father of all things, the Creator of the universe! Outsider, cease your actions and leave immediately!"
Lu Li said with a serious expression:
"Ilúvatar, I come with the intent to devour and destroy. If you lose, you will become my power; similarly, if you win, you can devour me. Now, let the battle begin!"
After speaking, Lu Li waited three seconds before making his move, giving his opponent ample time to prepare.
Even so, Ilúvatar was no match for her.
The gravitational waves from the black hole coalesce into a beam, instantly entangling it and then tearing it apart.
The alien Star God's body continued to peel away, being sucked into the black hole, and soon became ethereal and transparent.
At the same time, Lu Li was not idle either. He added the mass of two spirit stars to his hand and threw a punch!
