Jiang Ziliu meticulously planned and ultimately succeeded.
He stole the trunk of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom and successfully erased his own aura, making it impossible for the Succubus Queen to track him down.
The Succubus Queen was naturally unwilling to accept defeat.
She found a Star System Rank demon who knew the art of celestial tracking and had this demon deduce Jiang Ziliu's celestial information.
Unfortunately, this powerful, God Rank demon had only just begun his celestial tracking when he saw three terrifying and blurry shadows. The mere faint aura of these shadows was enough to severely injure him, causing him to cough up blood and nearly shatter his soul.
"Your Majesty, it's best not to investigate further. This being is backed by an entity from beyond the Xinghe!"
After delivering this message, the demon fell into a deep sleep, a long slumber that would last until his fundamental trauma was healed.
The Succubus Queen was stunned by the words "above the Xinghe ".
She knew exactly how terrifying the beings above the Xinghe were. Even a powerhouse like herself, at the Galaxy Ninth Realm, was nothing more than a giant ant in front of Origin Rank powerhouse.
Jiang Ziliu distanced himself from the Great Andromeda Star and eventually began the process of having the Ancient Tree of Wisdom reabsorb and integrate his original fragments in a dark region between galaxies.
Just as he suspected, the source of Wisdom within this section of the tree trunk had also vanished, stolen by someone.
This integration will also take some time.
Thus, Jiang Ziliu also realized that the Origin Throne was a more advanced, Origin Rank essential resource.
After reaching the Ninth Stellar Realm and beginning his journey towards the Origin Rank, it was only then that the Forging Throne, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, and the Ancient Tortoise of Time revealed the true secrets of the Origin Rank to him.
A being at the Galaxy Rank has reached a level of control over the rules.
The core of Origin Rank being is the origin of life itself, which is an evolved version of Divine Spark and rules.
In fact, it is the product of the fusion of different types of rules.
Rules themselves are something that transcends energy, information, and matter.
They can be controlled, but they are difficult to change.
The integration of rules is essentially about grasping the rules themselves, allowing those that are difficult to change to merge into one, and upgrade to a higher level.
This existence is a higher existence resulting from the interweaving and sublimation of rules; it represents the same essence as all things.
Therefore, it is essentially an upgraded version of the rules.
There are two approaches: one is the fusion of different sub-rules within the same major rule.
The power resulting from the fusion of these rules is the primordial power at the Origin Rank.
However, it is a relatively low-level source of power.
The other type is the product of the fusion of different major categories of rules, which is a higher-level origin.
This level of origin is superior to the former.
Don't be fooled by how easy it sounds; you must have an extremely profound understanding of the rules to be qualified to do this.
Moreover, the difficulty is infinitely high; the probability of successfully integrating the rules is less than one in ten billion.
The most troublesome aspect is that the process of rule integration is essentially a collision of the power of the rules themselves.
You succeeded; you obtained the origin and essence, and advanced to the Origin Rank existence.
If unsuccessful, every attempt will face the terrifying backlash of clashing with the rules; every attempt will be a process of fundamental damage.
Although it can be repaired, the dangers of these repeated, life-threatening attempts are unimaginable.
More importantly, the probability of such an attempt succeeding is less than one in a trillion!
Most powerful beings at the Galaxy Ninth Realm spend their entire lives making such attempts, seeking the possibility of advancing further and becoming even more powerful beings through life-and-death adventures.
Moreover, the mastery of the fundamental rules becomes increasingly difficult to improve as time progresses.
The deeper one's understanding of the rules themselves, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend other similar rules, much like compressing a spring.
All these factors combined mean that the probability of the Galaxy Ninth Realm being promoted to Origin Rank life form is so low that the denominator is comparable to the number of stars in the universe.
Therefore, the difficulty of creating Origin Rank source is so minuscule that it seems impossible.
Only a lucky few succeed unintentionally and advance to the Origin Rank life form.
However, such people are extremely rare in the Galaxy Ninth Realm.
Because it was too difficult, some powerful beings at the Galaxy Ninth Realm found a shortcut: to find the fragments of the original body of Origin Rank powerhouse and refine the Origin Rank essence within those fragments. This would allow a life form to grow into Origin Rank being.
This method involves the plundering of the power of Origin Rank beings by the Galaxy Ninth Realm.
To obtain such Origin Rank fragment, two Origin Rank beings need to collide with each other, which could potentially produce a new Origin Rank fragment.
The powerful beings of the Galaxy Ninth Realm then set their sights on the Origin Throne Rank beings, trying every means to incite them to fight among themselves or to make them fight against the Origin Rank beings on the side of the Evil God.
Their reckless and ruthless schemes were aimed at seizing the very essence of Origin Rank being.
I'm not afraid of intelligent people, I'm afraid of crazy people.
Countless Galaxy Rank beings, in their repeated attempts to advance to the Origin Rank, have repeatedly failed, pushing themselves to the brink of madness.
In their madness, they disregarded the vast disparity between the two sides and schemed against those Origin Throne, those beings who were born as origins, those beings bestowed with Origin Rank essence by the universe.
In the frenzy, some succeeded, and some failed.
Like the Forging Throne and the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, these are Origin Throne Rank lifeforms whose original forms shattered under such circumstances, resulting in their current incomplete state.
The Ancient Tree of Wisdom was simply being careless, believing itself to be the embodiment of knowledge and Wisdom, a Sovereign Rank King of Origin, and untouchable by anyone else.
But what he didn't expect was that, as the embodiment of Wisdom, he was also a mortal enemy in the eyes of the powerful figures on the side of the Evil God.
So the Evil God joined forces with some powerful beings at the Galaxy Ninth Realm to set up a grand scheme, successfully trapping the Ancient Tree of Wisdom. Its main body was shattered, leaving only a stump.
However, while life forms that plunder the origin and transform into Origin Rank beings can progress, the difficulty of such progress is only one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of the progress speed of other Origin Rank.
So they went even crazier, creating terrifying Origin Rank arcane arts to plunder the essence of other Origin life forms.
Under such circumstances, the entire universe became even more chaotic, and it suffered a crushing defeat when faced with the invasion of the Evil God.
However, the Ancient Tortoise of Time discovered the madness of these newly emerging Origin Rank life forms and ultimately chose to live a life of quiet desperation, detached from worldly affairs.
The reason he did this is that the will of the universe itself neither stopped nor punished such behavior.
He sensed something was wrong and decided to lay low, no longer contributing to the cause of all living things in the universe.
Few heroes meet a happy ending.
Having realized this, the Ancient Tortoise of Time embarked on a different path.
After the newly emerging Origin Rank powerhouses rose to power through this method, they worried about retaliation from the other Origin Throne Origin Throne and began to band together to target them.
A fierce battle once broke out between the two sides, but the King of Origin were attacked from behind by powerful figures from the Evil God's side and were completely defeated.
Now, the side of the Origin Throne has become the suppression of the Origin Rank life forms that have risen through this means, and whose nature is even more insane and unscrupulous.
The invasion of alien beasts that has spread throughout the universe is, strictly speaking, the result of their indulgence and also the aftermath of this battle.
This is why the Forging Throne, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, and the Ancient Tortoise of Time carefully conceal their presence.
