After absorbing this batch of resources, Chen Ao's reserves grew once again.
His divine body expanded to 21.5 light-years, and his miniature universe's origin had also reached its limit-the limit for his current level.
In fact, his resource consumption was already very low.
First, thanks to his hundred thousand times gene, his miniature universe automatically reached the maximum size for his current realm.
Other Void True Gods had to start with miniature universes a billion light-years across and expand them step by step, while his started at ten billion light-years.
This directly affected how much origin a miniature universe could contain. The origin capacity of his ten-billion-light-year miniature universe was a thousand times that of a ten-light-year one.
That meant he comprehended the origin of laws a hundred times faster than others, and when he reached a bottleneck in law comprehension, he could break through more easily.
When it came to his miniature universe, his hundred thousand times gene gave him every advantage.
Then there was his divine body. For other experts, a single earth-origin crystal could only expand their divine bodies by ten thousand kilometers. Even with a ninety thousand times gene, that only rose to fifteen thousand kilometers.
For him, it was a full hundred thousand kilometers.
To achieve the same divine body size, he needed only a tenth of the resources others did.
That was remarkably little.
"Other protagonists consume ten, a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand times more resources than everyone else. I only use a tenth as much. Maybe I'm just not destined to be the protagonist!"
Using less than everyone else-where was the protagonist's swagger in that?
After that major leap forward, Chen Ao stayed in the Haotian Sect for a thousand years.
During that time, Chen Ao continually put his
