The three major cultivation systems in the Astral Realm each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Although the gods of the Matter System possess powerful Divine Body and extremely stable combat strength, and are almost unaffected by external interference, allowing them to exert their peak combat power anywhere, their methods are relatively singular, making them easy targets for countermeasures.
For example, some Divine Body fear intense flames, while others cannot remain in areas of light for extended periods...
The gods in the World System possess the most comprehensive abilities. Within their Divine Kingdom, they are virtually omnipotent, true creators. However, their weakness is also obvious: they can hardly move their physical bodies.
The heavy Inner Universe makes it difficult for them to move. Normally, they can only condense Divine Power into clones, and the stronger they are, the more this is the case. They can only send out Divine Power avatars to fight, but this will inevitably greatly reduce their combat power.
Unbeatable defense, but powerless offense—this is the defining characteristic of the World System.
In addition, the gods in the World System are also easily influenced by the will of the Inner Universe, gradually becoming indifferent and losing their humanity.
When humanity is completely lost, the Divine Kingdom that one has created will also be fully integrated into the rules of the Astral Realm.
In comparison, the gods of the Law System not only have a variety of methods but also can move freely, making it the most comprehensive cultivation system with the fewest side effects. Naturally, the number of Transcendent individuals who embark on this path is also the largest.
The three most powerful cultivation factions of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan.
The Devouring Faction, the Gravity Faction, and the Control Faction all belong to the "Law Cultivation System," but each has its own emphasis.
Finally, Yilisham looked at Gustavo and said, "Although the Devouring Path belongs to the Law System, it is significantly different. While other law gods merely use their own Divine Law to leverage the power of the Astral Realm rules to enhance their Divine Realm and possess formidable combat strength, the God Level powerhouses of the Devouring Path rely on their own Devouring Divine Law to absorb various rule powers and ultimately achieve domination, thus fundamentally controlling this power. The difference between the two is enormous; one borrows, the other seizes and makes it their own. Naturally, the combat power they can unleash is quite different, and it is precisely because of this that the Devouring Path is so powerful."
"But it is precisely because of this that the difficulty of the Devouring Path far exceeds that of other Law System."
Upon hearing this, Gustavo's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Yilisham and asked softly, "Is it because of the mental will you mentioned earlier?"
Yilisham gave Gustavo an approving look and nodded firmly, "That's right!"
After sighing, Yilisham explained, "Devouring all rules seems incredibly domineering and allows for extremely rapid growth, but nothing in the Astral Realm is truly unfettered."
"If it's just borrowing the rules of the Astral Realm, aside from the possibility of affecting one's own path, there aren't many side effects. As long as one's will is firm, it can be easily overcome. For most True God of the Law System, it's not a problem."
"However, if one tries to completely devour other rules and make them one's own, like Devouring Path, one will inevitably suffer a violent backlash, leading to chaos in the Divine Realm and ultimately death and annihilation of the soul."
Gustavo nodded thoughtfully, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "In other words, besides the strength of one's own Devouring Divine Law, the will of the mind is also a crucial Cornerstone the Devouring Path!"
"That's right!" Yilisham sighed. "This is the strongest path to Transcendent for our race, but also the most difficult and dangerous. Even at the God Level, one must tread on thin ice. Perhaps... only beings like the Spider Queen can completely escape the influence of the Devouring Path and remain untroubled..."
After her sigh, Yilisham smiled and said, "What I've said is just very basic experience. Whether you've truly embarked on the Devouring Path still needs to be verified by Lord Asuye himself. If it's confirmed that your cultivation direction belongs to the Devouring Faction, then you will receive strong support from your clan, and you might even have a chance to obtain a spot in the Fate Supremacy War."
After she finished speaking, Yilisham gave Gustavo a brief explanation of the situation in the Fate Supremacy War.
"Fate Supremacy War, the Goddess of Misfortune? Heh, I'm really looking forward to it..." Gustavo lowered his eyelids, a chilling glint flashing in his pale green spider eyes.
Previously, Gustavo had already learned from Yilisham the culprit Luck Deprivation.
Perhaps, to a powerful figure like the Goddess of Misfortune, Gustavo was just one of the countless small fry she caught in her net.
But for Gustavo, the pain of Luck Deprivation is truly unforgettable.
As for whether the ability to obtain the Eye of Insight in a previous life was influenced by the Luck Deprivation his talent.
The Miracle Creation says, "The Goddess of Misfortune's face isn't that big yet!"
It is generally accepted in the Astral Realm that Miracle Creation are immune to the effects of Fate -related abilities, including luck and misfortune. In other words, no matter how high your luck attribute is, you cannot obtain Miracle Creation solely based on it.
Miracle Creation are the most visible variables in the Astral Realm, carrying their own cause and effect. For unknown reasons, they will attract beings with similar traits, and thus, they will meet naturally in the dark.
Of course, if you're strong enough, you can also take it by force.
Most of those powerful individuals who obtained Miracle Creation actually stole them.
Miracle Creation belong to those with virtue!
That being said, since his greatest opportunity, the Eye of Insight Miracle Creation, has nothing to do with the talent of Luck Deprivation.
This talent is a complete trap. It seems to improve one's luck attribute, but in reality, it transfers the vast majority of the luck power drawn to the Goddess of Misfortune, leaving Gustavo with only ever-growing negative Fortune.
These negative Fortune are misfortunes. At the beginning, the accumulation of misfortune is not enough, and the improvement of luck attributes can still suppress the misfortune, allowing Gustavo to always turn bad luck into good and turn misfortune into good fortune, despite the dangers.
However, once he reached the Epic level, the increase in his luck attribute could no longer suppress the accumulated misfortune, turning Gustavo into a complete jinx. All sorts of dangers came one after another. If Gustavo didn't have layer upon layer of trump cards and two absolutely trustworthy people to help him, the probability of him surviving would have been Infinity close to zero.
In other words, the Goddess of Misfortune wants to kill Gustavo.
For Gustavo, who holds grudges like the plague, even small things can stay in his mind for a long time, let alone a life-or-death feud.
If given the chance, he would definitely take revenge on this Goddess of Misfortune who caused him unforgettable pain.
Although he can't defeat the Goddess of Misfortune right now, he can seek out her nemesis, the Goddess of Luck.
Moreover, the Fate Supremacy War can only be divided into two camps: luck and misfortune.
Because of his Luck Deprivation, Gustavo can't join the Goddess of Misfortune's camp. Forget about being a spy; the Main God isn't so easily fooled. So, he can only join the Fortune Faction.
Gustavo was quite looking forward to it; he had long wanted to vent the anger he had accumulated over the years.
As for the spots in the Fate Supremacy War, Gustavo wasn't worried at all. He could just snatch them from other members of his race. In the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, strength was everything, and winning was more important than anything else.
As long as we win, everything will be fine.
"Alright, I've covered everything. As for resources, you can try to negotiate with the clan. Herzan values you highly, and as long as your requests aren't excessive, he'll most likely agree." Yilisham said with a smile, her meaning very clear—kid, don't hesitate when it comes to asking for benefits. Our Mitrola Clan is large and powerful; we're not afraid of you creating anything. The bolder the spiders, the greater the harvest!
Gustavo understood Yilisham's implied meaning; in his eight spider eyes, it seemed as if glittering gold coins were appearing.
Without saying a word, Gustavo picked up the list and started revising it. Now that we've joined the Devouring Faction, our appetites need to keep up with the times. We can't let our predecessors down.
Moreover, since Grandmother has spoken, it means that he, as a prospective member of the Devouring Faction, must be quite valuable. Otherwise, Yilisham wouldn't have hinted at this to him based solely on his merit as the King of the Demonic Sea.
Gustavo has always been an expert in identifying opportunities and resources, and he quickly submitted a new list of resources to Yilisham.
After receiving the list, Yilisham glanced at it briefly, nodded almost imperceptibly, and then left with the list, preparing to continue negotiating with Herzan to secure better terms for Gustavo.
Time passed slowly by Gustavo, like a swarm of planktonic organisms occasionally drifting through the dark Void. A few days later, the magnificent "Black Hole Domain" came into view.
As far as the eye could see, terrifying celestial bodies loomed like colossal beasts across the Void, their enormous dark maws gaping wide, recklessly devouring all matter and energy.
Light completely vanished here, and boundless darkness permeated every inch of space. If Gustavo's senses had not evolved multiple times, any life form below the Sanctuary would hardly be able to perceive the existence of these Black Hole. Once they stepped into the range of gravitational pull, they would be immediately dragged into them, becoming part of the Black Hole, increasing its mass and adding to its structure.
Some of these Black Hole are naturally formed, but most were created by the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, especially the Gravity Faction of Dragon-Hunting Spider, who are most fond of doing this.
Through generations of meticulous work by the Dragon-Hunting Spider, a vast cluster of Black Hole has almost completely surrounded the entire Treacherous Destruction Continent, forming a natural defensive line. Any attack that wants to touch the Treacherous Destruction Continent must first pass through these Black Hole, either being Destruction or bypassing them, greatly increasing the difficulty.
On the Treacherous Destruction Continent, there is even a saying that the Treacherous Destruction Continent was actually formed by the diffusion of matter after the explosion of a super-giant Void Black Hole.
The Mitrola Clan has never directly responded to this claim.
However, it is well known that the Black Hole Domain is the biggest engine for the expansion of the Treacherous Destruction Continent.
The massive cluster of Black Hole generated terrifying gravity, pulling countless substances from the Void, pulverizing them, and transforming them into the most primitive matter atoms. These atoms, along with the Black Hole explosions, were then ejected onto the Treacherous Destruction Continent, helping the continent's main body to continuously expand.
At the same time, the massive flow of Void Energy attracted by the Black Hole Domain also caused the energy concentration of the Treacherous Destruction Continent to soar dramatically. The concentration of natural elements in any location far exceeded that of the high-magic planets in the Elven Plane.
Due to the existence of the Black Hole Domain, even among large-scale Void bodies, the richness and resource output of the Treacherous Destruction Continent are among the top tier.
It is precisely because of the abundant resources of the Treacherous Destruction Continent that the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan has been able to continuously grow and develop, cultivating one God Level powerhouse after another to resist the repeated invasions of the True Dragon Empire.
In addition, the Black Hole Domain also serves as a 'nursery'. For the Dragon-Hunting Spider in its egg stage, if it can hatch inside the Black Hole, its bloodline potential will be greatly increased, which will be of great benefit to its future development.
Protective zones, resource pools, nurseries... the Black Hole Domain has become an important part of the overall strength of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan.
If the Black Hole Domain is lost, the entire Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan will suffer a devastating blow.
Gazing at the magnificent Black Hole before him, Gustavo's eight spider eyes seemed to reflect a torrent of light. Upon closer inspection, the torrent was actually formed by countless gravitational threads converging, vast and unstoppable.
After a long pause, Gustavo clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "If one were to grow up in this kind of environment, wouldn't the proficiency and level of [Gravity Control] increase rapidly...?"
"Gustavo, are you ready?" Grandmother Yilisham's voice suddenly echoed in the mental world.
After Gustavo responded, Yilisham said, "Very good. Next, do not resist the pull of my bloodline power and enter the ' Tirmis Gravity Sealing Field.' Within this sealing field, not only will outside observation be blocked, but the power emanating from the King of the Demonic Sea will also be confined to a certain area to prevent further damage..."
"Understood!" Gustavo nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing as he adjusted his posture.
Soon, a familiar power emanating from the depths of his bloodline surged, guiding Gustavo in the right direction.
Originally, within the Black Hole Domain, due to the existence of gravitational currents and spatial distortions, it was almost impossible to reach the destination through normal movement.
Under the pull of this bloodline power, wherever Gustavo went, the gravitational currents seemed to come alive, intelligently scattering and making way for a path without any obstruction.
The King of the Demonic Sea was completely unprepared; this Astral Realm Anomaly was the greatest danger in itself. He followed Gustavo into the gravity-sealing field without any precautions.
Once the main force of the King of the Demonic Sea entered the gravitational barrier, Herzan, who had been preparing for a long time, ordered the barrier to be opened. Soon, an eggshell-like gravitational barrier, with 126 medium to large Black Hole as nodes, sealed the King of the Demonic Sea and Gustavo within this area.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten minutes, one hour.
Once it was confirmed that the King of the Demonic Sea had not overreacted, the God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider who had arrived in their true forms all breathed a sigh of relief. It was best to avoid a fight if possible; no one wanted to clash with the Astral Realm Anomaly —it would be exhausting and thankless.
Herzan turned to the two God Level powerhouses behind him, "Asuye, Mingke'er, it's your turn to make your appearance."
