Bai Yu's New Ability

In the past, every time his God Spark upgraded, the resulting transformation of divine power would cause the "Soul Protection" of the Companion White Jade to evolve as well, significantly boosting its defensive power to the point of being invincible against soul attacks of the same rank; however, "Foresight" and "Strong Luck" had never changed.

But this time, fueled by the aura of the Supreme God, the ability of "Foresight" was actually expanded. First, the use of "Foresight" and "Soul Protection" would no longer interfere with each other. Second, "Foresight" was no longer passive and could be activated at will, though there was no "guarantee" as to what one might see. Finally, while "Foresight" could previously only pull Desterie's consciousness into the Strange Torrent, it could now pull the consciousness of others into it as well.

It is worth mentioning that the reason Desterie was able to remain unscathed within that Strange Torrent was entirely due to the protection of the Brilliant Starlight from the white jade, and he could only return to his body by relying on the pull of the chains formed by that starlight.

Without the starlight protecting his body, Desterie would have had his consciousness scattered by the Strange Torrent during any of the many times he had used "Foresight" in the past—and the dissipation of consciousness is not merely a matter of a single divine clone; it is the destruction of a living being in a spiritual sense, leaving it in a state of superposition between life and death.

However, although this white jade had been enhanced, its abilities seemed to have some limitations that would require slow exploration in the future.

While continuously emitting light, the Black Token rose higher and higher, until it was unknowingly grasped by a desolate figure in tattered black armor who had appeared from nowhere. This desolate figure exuded a terrifying aura that could cause even spatial turbulence to collapse, as if he had walked step by step against the light from endless slaughter.

His facial features could not be clearly seen, but merely staring into his eyes was enough to make one feel as if their mind were shattering and their insides were burning.

The Supreme God of Destruction had manifested!

His gaze fell upon Desterie, and he spoke slowly, bringing with him the aura of decay for all things in existence.

"Since the birth of the universe, this is the fifth Supreme God mission, and the second time I have issued one. Desterie, congratulations on completing it." The voice of the Supreme God of Destruction was stern and murderous, every word seemingly shattering matter and slaying souls. "According to the mission regulations, you may now make one request of me. Anything I am capable of doing, I will fulfill for you."

As the voice echoed, Desterie fell into a state of soul-trembling, unable to react.

"Do you have a request?" the Supreme God of Destruction continued.

"A request?" It was not until the Supreme God of Destruction finished speaking that Desterie was able to regain his composure.

Yet, upon regaining his senses, Desterie's first reaction was not to make a wish. Because his Fate Sovereign clone's soul, under the stimulation of the Supreme God of Destruction, had actually gained a new insight into the Fate Rule—the four Rules and seven Laws all share commonalities, but they are restricted by the laws of the universe and cannot be fused; only those with soul mutations can achieve this.

Like a miracle, the appearance of the Supreme God of Destruction provided a breakthrough opportunity for Desterie's Fate Rule—after all, summoning a Supreme God is in itself a major turning point of fate.

Desterie did not answer immediately; he knew that the Supreme God was merely a machine and would not feel anger or impatience. The Supreme God of Destruction waited quietly, just as he had expected, calm and composed.

After a long while passed, Desterie felt that surge of intuition gradually fade and could not help but sigh with regret—he still hadn't been able to push through the bottleneck in one go.

Putting aside his regret, Desterie looked up, gazing at the Supreme God of Destruction from afar, and stated the wish he had been brewing for a long time, "Supreme God, I wish to obtain a Destruction Highgod Spark!"

For Desterie, his talent for the Destruction Rule surpassed that of the Fate Rule. Refining a Destruction Highgod Spark would not only make him nearly a thousand times stronger than he was now, but he might also take the opportunity to break through to a Destruction Paragon—once he truly became a Paragon, he would be nearly a hundred thousand times stronger than he was now. At present, the cost-effectiveness far exceeded that of any Supreme Artifact.

Regrettably, the Supreme God of Destruction shook his head indifferently and said, "As Supreme Gods, we do not kill any living being without cause, including Destruction Highgods, unless they have violated the rules. I cannot fulfill this request of yours; please choose another wish."

It was not an unexpected answer, but the Supreme God's response also meant there was no longer any need to wish for other Chief God Sparks. Because, at present, the Chief Gods of all four Rules were already at full capacity.

Desterie was just about to make his next wish when a flash of inspiration struck him, and he changed his words, "Supreme God, I wish for all my divine clones to be able to obtain one hundred portions of Willpower!"

The reason he did not use a description like "as much as possible" was for fear that "as much as possible" would be a specific and very small number to the Supreme God, such as one portion, and then be fulfilled by the Supreme God.

And as for Willpower, let alone one hundred portions, even ten would be enough for Desterie to slaughter his way through everything.

Desterie was asking for the moon, waiting for the Supreme God to negotiate, to see where the Supreme God's bottom line lay.

The Supreme God shook his head again, "I can only bestow Willpower upon one of your clones, and only one portion."

Desterie curled his lips; Hongmeng was a bit stingy. This wasn't even as cost-effective as refining a Chief God Spark.

Thus, Desterie said again, "Supreme God, since the first two wishes are not possible, then I wish to obtain a set of three Supreme Artifacts: an offensive Supreme Artifact, a material defensive Supreme Artifact, and a soul defensive Supreme Artifact."

The Supreme God of Destruction shook his head once more, "I can give you at most one Supreme Artifact."

Desterie shook his head helplessly again and asked, "I wish to successfully undergo a soul mutation."

This time, the Supreme God of Destruction did not bargain and answered directly, "I cannot do that. My existence is to ensure that countless planes operate under the constraints of the rules. Divine clones can only cultivate the Laws or Rules of their own lineage and use the divine power of their own lineage; this is the rule. Soul mutation, however, breaks through this rule; it is related to the... of fate. Therefore, whether a soul mutation occurs or succeeds, I cannot interfere."

"The what of fate?" Desterie asked, pursuing the matter. Just as the Supreme God reached this point, "static" had actually occurred, making it impossible to hear clearly.

"The... of fate," the Supreme God of Destruction responded again, but Desterie still could not hear it clearly.

This was Hongmeng interfering; what the Supreme God of Destruction wanted to say was not something a life in a subsidiary universe could hear! Desterie naturally thought of this level, but what exactly was it? The more he couldn't hear it clearly, the more curious Desterie became.

But this was clearly not something that could be solved by questioning, so Desterie did not intend to waste time on it.

Among the wishes he had considered previously, only "reaching Paragon in the Fate Rule" remained, but after some deliberation, Desterie did not bring it up.
