Li Su leaped out from the void and let out a long breath.
He had won!
After sensing for a moment, sure enough, the First Celestial God had not moved at all. It had shown no reaction to his killing the Fourth and Fifth Celestial Gods. The glow of its innate runes had instead withdrawn, returning to its original appearance, serene to the extreme.
In other words, for the short term—no, until he chose to clash head-on with the First Celestial God, or until the day of a hundred days and nights arrived—there would basically be no problem.
From this battle alone, he had obtained eleven origin cores.
Six from the Fourth Celestial God, and five from the Fifth Celestial God.
Not only that, he had also gained two great innate powers: the lightning and frost runes. This time, he had devoured them outright. There was no need to comprehend them at all; the two runes had directly become his, just as beasts devoured celestial god creatures and directly obtained their power.
However, unlike beasts, which did not know how to use such power efficiently, Li Su had gathered and contained them in their complete form the instant he devoured them.
Li Su did not absorb either of these powers. Instead, he kept them in reserve.
He already had many innate runes within his body: flesh and blood, sound, gravity, space, radioactive metal.
Every one of them was incomparably powerful and could be further developed.
Even if he fused more of them, it would merely give him additional means; the improvement would not be particularly obvious.
Directly consuming the cores was more straightforward.
Now, even if he gave three to Axe so it could continue recovering and break the curse of Green of Resentment, Li Su would still have enough
