Even if Shazam hadn't said it, Ling Yi already knew what the second condition was.

One of the fundamental conditions for the World Forger to determine whether a universe is an incomplete universe is whether Blue Star is the center of the universe, in Physics sense.

Therefore, the second condition is to move Blue Star to the true center of the universe.

So, in this DC universe, what is the center of the universe?

Apocalypse Star, the home planet of Darkseid, one of the most powerful villains in DC Comics.

A planet described as being more Hell than Hell itself.

Darkseid is also one of the representatives of the New Gods in the DC Universe.

When it comes to the Divine Body in the DC Universe, it can be summed up in two words: chaos!

How chaotic was it?

Trying to understand DC's the Myth is no less challenging than taking a postgraduate entrance exam.

The Olympians, such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Hera, lived in the Skyland within the Sphere of the Gods.

The Sphere of the Gods is a higher-dimensional microcosm within the Earth God system.

The Sphere of the Gods is divided into nine dimensions, with the ninth being the highest and the first the lowest.

The Skyland is only a part of it, existing in the fifth dimension of the Sphere of the Gods.

The Asgard the Myth includes figures like Odin, Thor, and Loki, and Asgard, the city of the God King, is also part of the Sphere of the Gods, located in the fifth dimension.

He claims to rule the Nine Realms and is the king of the gods, but he doesn't get along well with the Olympians.

The Myth system of the Ancient Country goes without saying; the Heavenly Court where the Ancient Country God Race lived was also part of the Sphere of the Gods.

What's interesting is that this Heavenly Court didn't originally exist. It was the powerful figures of the Ancient Country who forcibly entered the Sphere of the Gods and pushed all the way to the eighth dimension, forcibly occupying the eighth layer of the Sphere of the Gods.

They seized this territory outright.

In addition, there is Divine Body angels and demons, divided into Heaven and Hell. Heaven and Hell are also part of the Sphere of the Gods, located on the third level of the Sphere of the Gods.

Their strength, relatively speaking, is somewhat weaker.

Originally, the Sphere of the Gods also had the Myth system of the Radiant Water Country. However, because of that war, the God Race of the Radiant Water Country disregarded the rules of the Sphere of the Gods, descended to the mortal world, and secretly participated in the war.

This directly angered the gods of the Ancient Country's Heavenly Court, who then sent out the Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra, who annihilated the territory of the Radiant Water Country within the Sphere of the Gods.

Most of them died, and the remaining small portion was incorporated into Zeus's army and joined the Skyland.

As for why Zeus wanted to incorporate this small group...

According to Shazam's memories, because of a name, Athena, or more precisely, Clone of Athena, he once created a demigod power in the Radiant Water Country out of Bored.

To Athena's utter surprise, this demigod power grew at a rate far exceeding her expectations.

Some of them even possess the power to kill gods.

And this demigod force is called Saint!

When Ling Yi saw this news in Shazam's memories, he was quite stunned.

This is a collaboration?!

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

In the DC Universe, there are two places Hell.

A realm in the Sphere of the Gods, belonging to the demon Mr. Satan.

A Sphere of the Gods belonging to Mephisto, existing outside the Sphere of the Gods.

It's not that Mephisto is particularly powerful or unconventional, but rather Mephisto he is not qualified to enter the Sphere of the Gods.

They're not even on the same level as Mr. Satan.

It is said that Mephisto's Hell Central City sinful spirits, and over the years, their numbers have likely become countless.

Ling Yi expressed great anticipation for this.

In addition to these, there are New Gods living in the universe.

This includes Darkseid, Wasteland Wolf, Mister Miracle, Highfather, Orion, and others.

These New Gods are not created because they have divine status, but because they possess divine power.

They are all beings capable of accessing the Source Wall, and in terms of true strength, they are far superior to Zeus and the others.

What is the Source Wall? Shazam Supreme Purity either.

To reiterate, Shazam's level is ultimately too low. It's already quite remarkable that he was able to gather so much information over nine thousand years.

But according to Shazam's speculation, the Source Wall should be the boundary of the universe.

Ling Yi rubbed his head. Why did Ling Yi dislike DC? It was because many of DC's settings were too confusing.

With so many gods, demons, and all sorts of good and bad universes mixed together, how chaotic is that?

Another issue is that the Battle Power in the DC Universe are inconsistent, fluctuating wildly and inconsistently.

Take Darkseid for example. He was described as one of the most powerful villains in the universe, but after arriving on Blue Star, he was thoroughly beaten up by the Blue Star's superheroes.

To make the collapse of the Battle Power seem more believable, DC editors came up with the concept of the Flashpoint event in the DC Universe.

It means constantly rebooting the DC universe.

Each time the game restarts, everyone's strength and Battle Power, and even their identities and backgrounds, will be reset.

For example, Darkseid. Ling Yi had seen a short video about Darkseid in his previous life and was deeply impressed by it.

Darkseid was originally conceived as the second prince of Apocalypse Star.

After his father, Yuga Khan, was sealed away by the Guardian of the Universe for coming into contact with the secrets of the Source Wall, the true ruler of Apocalypse Star became Darkseid's mother, Heggra.

Because Heggra secretly had Darkseid's girlfriend killed, Darkseid became completely corrupted. He then schemed against his elder brother and obtained the ultimate Omega Effect, causing his power to surge.

He then became Heggra, and thus became the true king of Apocalypse Star.

This was Darkseid's original concept, but it was completely changed after the DC Universe reboot.

Darkseid became a farmer, can you believe it?

In this setting, Apocalypse Star is ruled by a group of ancient gods, Darkseid, in order to expel these ancient gods, Sow Discord among them in various ways.

This led to a great war among the Old Gods. Ultimately, when the Old Gods were at their weakest, Darkseid killed them all, acquired their powers, and became the true king of Apocalypse Star.

Did you think that was all?

No!

Following this, the DC Universe underwent another Flashpoint reboot, reverting Darkseid's original setting back to normal.

Tell me, isn't it amazing?

Not only Darkseid, but many important cesium spheres have experienced one or even several Flashpoint events.

They've all been restarted.

Chaos! That's the only word to describe it!

It's no wonder that trying to understand DC's character design is as difficult as taking a graduate entrance exam!

In his previous life, Ling Yi had read quite a few DC fanfics, but honestly, not a single one of them truly understood the DC lore.

If Ling Yi hadn't accessed Shazam's memories, he probably wouldn't have known that DC would be in such a chaotic state.

"Why weren't you captured by the Guardian?" Ling Yi asked the old man Shazam.

Even the former king of Apocalypse Star, Darkseid's most feared father, was imprisoned by the Guardian after coming into contact with the Source Wall, the secret of the DC multiverse.

The old man is actually alright?

" Guardian cannot appear on Blue Star, nor can they attack any living beings on Blue Star," Shazam explained.

Ling Yi blinked. Something was off about this old man!

Although he had accessed Shazam's memories, it was clearly not all of them.

Shazam seemed to see through Ling Yi's thoughts and explained with a wry smile, "It's not that these memories won't let you access them, but rather that these memories have touched upon the power of certain rules."

I can tell you, but you can't see it.

Okay, I'll take it as you're telling the truth.

"However, once Blue Star leaves its current location, the rule that the Guardian cannot set foot on Blue Star will be broken. Therefore, Blue Star cannot be moved until the Guardian is killed."

Ling Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then, he grinned at the old man and said, " Shazam, how about getting laid off and finding another job?"

Shazam paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you're not at the age to retire yet." With that, Ling Yi disregarded all martial ethics and activated his Mental Ability.

Shazam, as a veteran and powerful wizard, may have only a little bit of his cultivation left, but his Divine Power is still incredibly strong.

He immediately Perception Ling Yi's intention.

He actually withstood Ling Yi's Mind Power for a moment, and asked in confusion, " Ling Yi, even if you control me, it won't make much difference. I can't help you much."

"This is all the knowledge I can offer you."

Ling Yi laughed and said, "No, you can definitely help me even more."

A few minutes later, Shazam felt the surging power within him, his face filled with disbelief.

He is even stronger now than he was in his prime.

Of course, this refers specifically to the surname.

Shazam's original power manifested primarily in two aspects.

One was his sorcery, and the other was the power he obtained from the gods.

Solomon's Wisdom endowed Shazam with Photographic Memory memory, exceptional comprehension, and remarkable learning abilities.

Hercules ' enhancements gave Shazam strength and defense comparable to Superman's.

Atlas's endurance grants Shazam incredible adaptability and Self-Healing abilities, allowing him to survive without food or water, Longevity and Immortality, and even survive in space.

Zeus's power granted Shazam the power of Thunder.

Achilles ' fearlessness makes Shazam fearless, and he possesses rich Combat experience and skills.

Mercury's speed gives Shazam the speed and flight ability to rival Superman.

Including witchcraft, there are exactly seven abilities.

The seven abilities that Ling Yi Copy from Adam are precisely these seven abilities.

"This is only one-tenth of my power; it will become even stronger in the future." Ling Yi chuckled, seeing the old man's shocked expression.

"Does killing make you stronger?" Shazam frowned.

"Wrong. Only by killing evil beings can I become stronger. Killing good people will not make me stronger. I represent justice."

"So what?"

"Don't you think the evil spirits in Mephisto's Hell need to be purged? They're all evil undead!" Ling Yi laughed.

Shazam immediately understood Ling Yi's meaning.

This guy actually has his eye on Mephisto's Hell?

"Is there any way to directly enter Mephisto's Hell?" Ling Yi asked.

"You know my witchcraft too, don't you think?" Shazam shook his head.

I thought you had a way.

"I don't have that; after all, it's a separate, smaller world. However, one can enter Hell through the Crown of Sabac."
