Life-or-death struggles are the best way to build bonds, especially when you've been through life-or-death struggles together since you were both weak. The bond you develop then is beyond words.
While most spellcasters are rational, they are not without emotions; this particular spellcaster, True God, clearly did not want to monopolize the Elemental Mother Stone.
"Elemental Mother Stone?!" The six eyes of the three-headed, six-armed True God instantly turned blood red. Although he could not recognize the Elemental Mother Stone, he knew its value and had once fantasized about the day he would be lucky enough to come across one. He never expected that this wish, which he once thought was unrealistic, would actually come true.
"Brother, thank you!!"
In a flash, the three-headed, six-armed True God turned his head to look at his elder brother and said solemnly, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
He certainly understood what it meant that his brother had taken the initiative to inform him of the Elemental Mother Stone.
The elder brother is stronger and more knowledgeable, and he recognized the Elemental Mother Stone immediately. If he wanted to keep it for himself, he only needed to attack him from behind. Caught off guard, facing a familiar person, or even a Matter System one, he would be severely injured or even killed by the sneak True God.
But the elder brother did not do that.
It would be a lie to say that a three-headed, six- True God wouldn't be moved.
"Enough with the nonsense. You and I are brothers, we met when we were nothing, we fought our way up from our home plane together for tens of thousands of years. Even if the Elemental Mother Stone is incredibly valuable, it's not worth me abandoning my brother," the spellcaster True God said in a deep voice. "This is our shared destiny. Let's go, let's get closer and see if we can take it."
"Alright!" The three-headed, six- True God nodded, placing the divine shield in front of his chest, with all four arms gripping the shield's handle, while his other two arms held a heavy hammer in front of him.
The spellcaster True God descended gracefully, landing on his brother's shoulder. He gazed intently ahead, his staff flashing continuously, sending out bursts of magical Radiance that shattered and dispersed the oncoming boulders and elemental gusts of wind.
The two communicated telepathically as they moved forward, their coordination seamless.
Rumble!!
The Elemental Storm continued to rage, and the stone continent completely collapsed. The hard rocks, tempered in the extreme environment of the Shattering Annihilation Corridor, were each tens of millions of times stronger than steel. Swept up by the Elemental Storm, they flew Berserk in all directions like meteors, carrying scorching streams of fire and containing astonishing power. The closer one got to the Elemental Mother Stone, the more terrifying the danger became.
However, at this moment, the two True God disregarded the danger in the slightest. Their faces were filled with madness as they flew towards the Elemental Mother Stone that was floating and sinking in the center of the Elemental Storm.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must be fought for with one's life.
Adventurers are all aware of this.
Of course, when some obstacles are truly insurmountable, it's no longer a matter of risk; in a situation where there's no chance of survival, even the bravest adventurer will stop in their tracks.
After a while.
The two True God were then forced to stop.
"No, it's impossible to get any closer."
"This Elemental Storm is too powerful. The closer we get to the center of the storm, the more dangerous it becomes." The two True God were somewhat dumbfounded.
At this moment, they were only tens of thousands of miles away from that Elemental Mother Stone. For True God, this distance was almost within reach, but now it seemed like an abyss blocking their way.
The Elemental Mother Stone, radiating four-colored light, emitted vast fluctuations that amplified the storm's power, making the two True God feel as if they were facing the overwhelming pressure of a super-strong being, and causing them to feel waves of despair.
They couldn't even get close, let alone collect this priceless treasure.
"Damn it! We're already so close, but we can only stare blankly." The three-headed, True God Furious Roar, pacing around in a panic.
Although the True God's eyes were also bloodshot, he still retained his rationality and managed to maintain his composure. "Don't rush, let me examine you carefully first."
"Alright, but brother, you need to hurry. I feel that the two of us can't hold out here for long." The three-headed, six-armed True God shook his head with a wry smile. "The pressure here is too immense, and the Elemental Storm are extremely terrifying. My material Divine Body's defense is rapidly decreasing, and the essence of my divine artifact is also being consumed at an alarming rate."
"Yes, I know what I'm doing."
The True God nodded slightly, and then a faint light shone from his pupils. Countless spell circuits converged in his pupils, weaving an extremely mysterious magic array, from which a ray of light shot out and disappeared into the eye of the storm.
Approximately three minutes later.
The True God withdrew his gaze, his eyes revealing obvious fatigue and a hint of hidden resentment.
"Let's go! We need to retreat. It seems we can't possibly swallow this treasure."
Although he had guessed and prepared for it, when he actually heard his brother say such words, the Three-Headed Six-Armed True God still couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
But he absolutely trusted his brother, and after suppressing his disappointment, he slowly backed away.
Standing on his brother's shoulders, the spellcaster True God had now completely calmed down from his previous frenzied emotions.
"Main God!!"
"I'm afraid only a powerhouse at the level of Main God would be able to retrieve this Elemental Mother Stone from the Elemental Storm."
"Moreover, it's probably not enough for ordinary Main God; it has to be Main God with extremely strong backing or exceptionally powerful abilities."
"Abosi, we can no longer hope to possess this treasure. The best outcome is to sell this information in exchange for resources."
What do you think?!
The spellcaster transmitted True God message.
Upon hearing this, the three-headed, six-armed True God Abosi nodded repeatedly, having already calmed down.
"That's right, brother is absolutely right."
"Encountering a great opportunity is our fate, but not obtaining one is also fate. If we lack the strength, we must accept it. The best outcome is to find a way to maximize our benefits."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the spellcaster, the True God. "Abosi, you've finally stopped being reckless and have grown up."
"Alright, let's do it this way. I will immediately report this news to the Gate of Truth. In the future, whichever Main God or Supreme God of the Spellcaster Association obtains this Elemental Mother Stone, they will have to pay us a certain percentage of the reward."
"I've roughly calculated it. Given the size of this Elemental Mother Stone, even one percent of the income would be enough to easily propel both of us to the Peak True God realm. If it were a little more, it might even allow one of us to attempt to reach the Main God realm."
Both the spellcaster True God and the three-headed, six- True God brother had a deep longing flash in their eyes.
Main God!!
As True God, although their lifespan is theoretically limitless, they can live on indefinitely as long as they don't die.
However, compared to the Main God, it is still lagging behind in every aspect.
Only by becoming Main God can one be considered a hegemon, truly gaining the confidence to protect oneself in this turbulent era.
Even if it perishes, it will be resurrected at some point in the future, unless the path is completely Destruction, leaving not a trace.
No matter how powerful or precious the resources, for True God, nothing is more practical than enabling them to advance to the realm of Main God.
After making their decision, the two True God quickly withdrew from the Elemental Storm and flew out of the Shattering Annihilation Corridor.
The unique environment of the Shattering Annihilation Corridor greatly affects communication systems; messages cannot be transmitted here. This is a characteristic of many dangerous places—the environment is relatively closed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After escaping the Elemental Storm, the two True God quickly flew out of the Shattering Annihilation Corridor and, upon entering an area where communication was possible, promptly contacted the Gate of Truth of the Spellcaster Association to report the relevant information.
After assessing the situation, the intelligent hub of the Gate of Truth immediately reported the news to the association's higher-ups. Soon after, several powerful spellcaster Main God frantically traversed space and converged on the Shattering Annihilation Corridor.
at the same time.
Unbeknownst to the spellcaster True God and the three-headed, six-armed True God, at the very moment they discovered the Elemental Mother Stone, in another direction of the Elemental Storm, a True God resembling an enlarged musk ox was also staring dumbfounded at the center of the Elemental Storm.
"What is this thing?" This special racial talent gave this True God extremely sharp eyesight, allowing him to see through Elemental Storm and various rocky materials to the eye of the storm.
He could sense the terrifying aura contained within that seemingly insignificant object, as if facing a supreme Main God, vast and boundless, it was definitely a supreme treasure.
Although it may not be recognizable, it does not affect its value judgment.
"An opportunity!!" The figure of the True God, resembling a musk ox, flickered and its four hooves moved quickly, rushing towards the Outer Zone of Shattering Annihilation Corridor.
Clearly, this musk ox-like True God was very self-aware, knowing his own limitations. Without much hesitation, he turned and left, intending to report to the tribe's higher-ups. In any case, the meat would rot in the pot, and he would still reap great benefits.
However, just as the Musk True God was running wildly, a look of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.
Clang!!
A clear, resonant metallic clang rang out, and a sharp sword light appeared out of thin air. At first, it was barely perceptible and extremely thin, but it quickly expanded to span most of the sky, directly piercing through the chest of the Musk True God.
The attack came too fast and was too destructive. The body of the Musk True God was instantly split in two, and the power contained in the sword light penetrated into every part of the Musk True God's body in an instant, completely annihilating its life force.
A True God who could dominate a certain universe in the Astral Realm fell in the Shattering Annihilation Corridor.
Although he still had many ways to save his life and many treasures to spare, life-or-death battles are often decided in a split second. Moreover, the attacker was clearly stronger than him.
Call!!
A blue gale swept by, and wind elements gathered, transforming into a figure clad in light armor. His arms were shaped like sword blades, with exceptionally sharp edges and tips radiating a piercing light.
Its overall appearance resembles an enlarged emerald green mantis, its aura firmly standing among the ranks of Peak True God.
"Elemental Mother Stone?"
The Mantis True God's gaze fell upon the eye of the storm in the distance, and he murmured to himself, "Such a vast treasure might not be recognized by an ordinary True God, but there should be quite a few True God nearby. The area affected by the Elemental Storm is growing larger, and more and more powerful beings are being alerted."
"We can't kill them all. We can only hope that the clan will send strong warriors as soon as possible. Until then, I need to stall for time as much as possible." The mantis's true form's gaze was extremely cold.
He comes from the Blade Clan of the Void Insect Clan, a member of the intelligent Zerg. This clan has always been the loyal guardians of the Zerg Queen, possessing formidable combat power, fearlessness, and prioritizing the Queen's will and the interests of the race above all else.
Therefore, the Mantis True God doesn't care who he kills at all.
Next, he must kill as many True God as possible, as the Elemental Mother Stone might be nearby.
Let's get started!
Whispering to himself, the Mantis True God's wings trembled slightly, accompanied by howling wind elements, and his figure vanished. Not long after, the second True God fell victim to his sneak attack.
However, no matter how fast the True God was, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the Elemental Storm. More and more True God who were venturing into the Inner Zone Shattering Annihilation Corridor were alerted, and many of True God discovered the existence of the Elemental Mother Stone.
After all, the vast and powerful elemental fluctuations and oppressive force were so eye-catching that it was hard not to notice them.
Some True God recognized the Elemental Mother Stone Elemental Mother Stone, while others did not, but this did not prevent them from determining its value.
True God attempted to enter the center of the Elemental Storm and seize the Elemental Mother Stone failed without exception.
So they all began reporting to the forces behind them.
News of the discovery of the Elemental Mother Stone began to spread rapidly to the outside world.
A vortex-like eye, resembling Elemental Storm, gradually formed.
Shattering Annihilation Corridor.
Lancelot and a wisp of the Ancestral Tree of Life's will stood side by side, silently observing the rapidly expanding Elemental Storm.
"Your plan is truly ingenious, achieving your goal without revealing a thing. I admire you greatly," Lancelot sincerely complimented.
Indeed, the existence of the Elemental Mother Stone was arranged by the Ancestral Tree of Life.
Using this as bait, they attracted powerful individuals from various factions.
Since the Shattering Annihilation Corridor is close to the Destruction Realm Abyss and the territory of the Dolu Civilization, it is natural for both forces to be drawn to it.
No one would doubt the existence of such a story unless they knew the inside story.
After all, the Shattering Annihilation Corridor itself produces extremely valuable resources like Elemental Mother Stone.
The involvement of neutral parties further reduces suspicion surrounding the target.
What's even more amazing is that this Elemental Mother Stone was buried by the Ancestral Tree of Life a long time ago, and with the cover of the Ancestral Tree of Space-Time and the Ancestral Tree of Fate, it's a perfect cover.
Naturally, the ingenious plan was thus successfully set up.
Hearing Lancelot's praise, the Ancestral Tree of Life smiled modestly, "These are just minor tricks, not worth mentioning. Ultimately, success or failure still depends on absolute strength. Otherwise, no matter how ingenious the trap, it can be broken and escaped. The hunter might even be devoured by the beast."
"Hmm." Lancelot nodded in agreement, but soon a confident smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, senior, this time, the prey won't escape!"
"Oh?" A look of surprise flashed across the Ancestral Tree of Life's face, then quickly turned into a smile. "Alright, then I'll wait and see."
