Inside a massive Black Hole in the Black Hole Domain of the Treacherous Destruction Continent.
On the singularity of matter, which could easily shatter True God, stands a magnificent palace. Its surface is covered with spiderweb-like patterns, exuding mystery and grandeur.
Led by his teacher Asuye, Gustavo entered the great hall. As he walked, he looked around. The hazy, dark mist swirled around him, like countless arms waving wildly, making the scene quite terrifying.
But for the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, this scene felt familiar, so Gustavo not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but even reached out and touched the mist, trying to pull something out of it.
Seeing this, the teacher Asuye, who was leading the way, looked helpless and quickly pulled Gustavo to his side, saying, "When meeting the Lord of the Lord of the Fallen Realm, you must remain respectful."
Gustavo pouted. "Didn't you say, teacher, that the Lord of the Fallen Realm is very generous?"
"Well, anyway, it's the first time we meet, so it's always good to be a little formal." Asuye was a very rigid person, and Gustavo's unpredictable nature made him feel a little out of place.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen such an energetic little guy. Come here..." A calm voice with a gentle smile rang out. Gustavo and Asuye simultaneously felt their bodies lighten, the space before their eyes spun and the scene changed. The next second, they appeared deep inside the hall.
On a multifaceted platform resembling an altar, the Lord of the Fallen Realm, in his true form, lowered his gaze, watching the two figures that had just appeared.
Asuye quickly bowed, followed closely by Gustavo, who curiously observed his tribe's Main God.
The Lord of the Fallen Realm was not large in size, most likely due to deliberate miniaturization. His body was blackish-purple, but his eight spider eyes were pure white, unlike the eerie green eyes of ordinary Dragon-Hunting Spider. The eight spiders were not blades, but rather claws, covered with extremely complex and dazzling bloodline patterns.
Overall, the Lord of the Fallen Realm gives Gustavo a fierce and heavy feeling, like a super neutron star speeding through the Starry Sky, rampaging and crushing everything in its path, exuding extraordinary Haki.
However, in front of his own junior, the Lord of the Fallen Realm greatly restrained his domineering Haki, and Gustavo only sensed the tip of the iceberg.
After bowing, Gustavo and Asuye stood up straight. The Lord of the Fallen Realm sized them up for a moment, then looked at Gustavo and said, "Show me your power."
"OK."
Gustavo nodded without hesitation, and as soon as he finished speaking, a Devouring Divine Realm composed of spider webs appeared beneath his feet.
Around the Divine Realm, twelve patterns are evenly distributed. Some resemble scales, while others look like giant serpents winding through the Starry Sky. They are all different in appearance and exude different auras.
Fate, time, soul, gravity... a total of twelve Divine Law, plus Gustavo's strongest Devouring Divine Law. Although he has only recently been promoted to Lower God, he has mastered a total of thirteen Divine Law.
Asuye, standing nearby, was also witnessing Gustavo's full power for the first time and was immediately amazed. The strength of True God in the Law System lies in using their own "Divine Law" to leverage the power of other laws, forming Divine Realm to suppress their opponent. This means that the stronger the "Divine Law," the stronger the power of the Divine Realm. From another perspective, if there are enough Divine Law laws, the power of the laws leveraged can overlap and unleash even more terrifying power.
The reason why the Devouring Path of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan is so powerful is because of this development path. Other True God develop vertically, trying to make their single "Divine Law" stronger as much as possible.
The Dragon-Hunting Spider Devouring Path, while developing its "Devouring Divine Law" vertically, also masters a varying number of "Ordinary Divine Law," essentially developing both vertically and horizontally, achieving a 360-degree, no-dead-angle effect.
In this situation, the Divine Realm forged by the strong who embark on the Devouring Path will inevitably be more stable and powerful. They can crush opponents of the same level simply by their size. If they also combine superb skills and create a flexible and ever-changing combat system, their strength will far exceed that of True God of the same level.
Asuye himself was a member of the Devouring Path, so he understood even more what the thirteen divine Divine Law Gustavo was currently displaying represented. It was a terrifying combat power that could absolutely crush most Lower God, and he was probably no match for this student.
The Main God Cornerstone truly lives up to its name; it's terrifying beyond belief!!
The Lord of the Fallen Realm didn't react as strongly as Asuye, but a clear smile flashed in his eyes as well. His gaze softened, and he said, "Alright, I now have a clear understanding of your strength. Put away your Devouring Divine Realm."
Gustavo did as he was told. After putting away the Devouring Divine Realm, he stood there like a well-behaved child, his eyes wide open, looking at the Lord of the Fallen Realm with a docile and eager gaze.
They didn't say anything, but it's as if they said everything.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Fallen Realm burst into laughter, shaking his head and saying, "You little rascal, you're quite amusing. Tell me, is there any resource you particularly need? If it's not too outrageous, I can provide it for you."
Upon hearing this, Gustavo didn't stand on ceremony and stated the request he had already prepared. "Lord of the Fallen Realm, as you know, I killed two God Level dragons in the Fate Supremacy War. Now, the True Dragon Clan must hate me to death, and I feel no sense of security when I go out. Therefore, I want a treasure that can help me escape, and preferably one that will allow me to survive under the control of the Main God."
Hearing Gustavo's words, Asuye gasped in shock, thinking to himself, "This kid really dares to mention that. A treasure that can allow Lower God to escape from the hands of Main God must be incredibly valuable, at the very least comparable to a high-quality Upper God Artifact."
The Lord of the Fallen Realm glanced at Gustavo with surprise, but to Asuye's surprise, the Lord of the Fallen Realm did not refuse immediately, but instead fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the Main God is really going to grant this kid's request?!
Asuye's breath hitched.
While waiting, a dozen seconds passed, and the space in front of the Lord of the Fallen Realm suddenly rippled, and a door gradually became clear, transforming from an illusion to reality.
When it fully appeared before Gustavo and Asuye, both were quite surprised. "This is... the Gate of Myriad Worlds?"
"Yes, or more accurately, it's a sub-body of the Gate of Myriad Worlds." The Lord of the Fallen Realm nodded as he handed the door to Gustavo.
Gustavo happily accepted it, touching the cold door frame with his hand, feeling the textured and ever-changing spatial patterns, his joy intensified.
Raising his head, Gustavo asked incredulously, "Sir, is this really for me?"
"What? You don't want it? That's perfect, give it back to me." The Lord of the Fallen Realm said, making a move to take back the sub-body of the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
Gustavo quickly opened his mouth, swallowed the door whole, then grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.
This maneuver amused the Lord of the Fallen Realm, and his gloomy mood, which had just awakened from slumber, improved considerably. He looked at Gustavo and instructed him, "This sub-body of the Gate of Myriad Worlds was given to me by a Grand Duke of Hell after a duel. It can only be used once, but once the teleportation is activated, it can break through all constraints and escape even when facing attacks from Main God. However, the prerequisite is that the opponent is unaware of the existence of the Gate of Myriad Worlds Offshoot. Otherwise, after targeted deployment, your chances of escape will be greatly reduced. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, you must not reveal the existence of the Gate of Myriad Worlds Offshoot to anyone. Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood!!"
Gustavo nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, then asked, "Sir, how do I activate this treasure?"
"It's very simple. Just inscribe your Divine Realm projection on the door. When you encounter danger, it will automatically assess your chances of survival. Once it determines that you are doomed, it will automatically teleport you to a safe area."
"I see. Very well, I understand now." Gustavo nodded in understanding, then bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will certainly cultivate diligently and strive to become the fifth Main God of my race."
"The fifth Main God?" The Lord of the Fallen Realm was taken aback, then laughed, not wanting to dampen Gustavo's confidence. "Alright, then I'll await your good news."
In the following hours, the Lord of the Fallen Realm imparted to Gustavo many techniques for using the Devouring Divine Law and cultivation experience. Even Asuye, who was standing nearby, benefited from this and gained a lot of advantages.
"Alright, I've given you the benefits you deserved. It's time for you to leave." With that, the Lord of the Fallen Realm's eight pure white spider eyes slowly lit up, preparing to teleport Gustavo and Asuye away.
"Wait, my lord, I have one last question." Gustavo quickly spoke up, causing the Lord of the Fallen Realm to stop in his tracks.
"Oh? Do you have any other questions?"
Gustavo's expression turned serious as he asked, "My lord, why is it that our Mitrola Clan is born with the ability to strengthen ourselves by devouring the True Dragon Clan, even breaking through bloodline shackles, and even having the power of rules amplified when fighting against the True Dragon Clan?"
"Um?!"
The Lord of the Fallen Realm's eyes narrowed. Asuye hadn't expected Gustavo to suddenly ask this question, and his expression changed slightly. However, he glanced at the Lord of the Fallen Realm on the high platform out of the corner of his eye. Clearly, he had also been puzzled by this question for a long time.
After staring at Gustavo for a few seconds, the Lord of the Fallen Realm looked at this clansman who had suddenly become stubborn and sighed, "You asked this question a little too early. This is not something you should be thinking about."
Gustavo didn't speak, he just stood there, motionless, making his stance clear.
"Alright, since you laid the Main God Cornerstone, I'll make an exception and tell you some secrets."
The Lord of the Fallen Realm seemed to be moved by Gustavo's attitude. After saying this, his pure white spider eyes lit up and he teleported Asuye away.
Inside the main hall, after Gustavo was left alone, the Lord of the Fallen Realm asked, "You must come from a plane with average technology, right?"
"Yes." Gustavo nodded slightly.
The Lord of the Fallen Realm then asked, "Then let me ask you, if you want to exterminate a certain race, what means of warfare should you employ?"
Gustavo pondered for a moment and said, "Culture warfare, supplemented by physical annihilation."
"Good. Now, consider the relationship between the Mitrola Clan and the True Dragon Clan from this perspective."
"You mean... the Mitrola Clan designed weapons specifically to target the True Dragon Clan?"
"That's right, we are... Dragon Soldiers!" The Lord of the Fallen Realm's eyes were slightly cold, but deeper within them lay a profound helplessness.
Gustavo was shocked. Although he had had similar thoughts before, they were just guesses. Now, however, his own family's Main God had confirmed them.
The Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, whose overall strength surpasses that of most advanced Astral Realm, is actually a weapon created by humans?!
What's even more chilling is that, in the entire Astral Realm, how many beings could possibly be capable of creating a weapon of this scale and power?
"Is it... the Eternal?" Gustavo asked in a hoarse voice.
The Lord of the Fallen Realm glanced at him in surprise, then nodded slightly. "You guessed right, but that person's specific name cannot be mentioned. As soon as it is spoken, He will sense it, although... He doesn't care."
"I don't care..." A chill ran through Gustavo's heart. What confidence! He wasn't afraid of you knowing the truth at all!
"Yes, from another perspective, He really doesn't need to care about the weapons' ideas. After all, which manufacturer of weapons doesn't install backdoors?" The Lord of the Fallen Realm shook his head and smiled bitterly. After saying this, he looked at Gustavo and said, "However, from another angle, the reason our race was created is precisely because we have value. To survive in this cruel world, many races don't even have any value, and that's truly miserable. At least now, we've reached the pinnacle of the Astral Realm, and we should be satisfied."
Are you truly satisfied?
Gustavo didn't say these words aloud, but exchanged a fleeting glance with the Lord of the Fallen Realm.
In that brief exchange, Gustavo saw not cowardice in contentment, but Endless ambition.
Yes, how could a race capable of Devouring Path be content with the status quo? This is a beast that, once released from its cage, will never obediently return!
"I see."
Gustavo lowered his head.
"Good that you understand. Strive to cultivate diligently. Only the strong can control their own Fate! Become stronger, child, for the future of our race may need you to save it."
The Lord of the Fallen Realm sighed softly as he saw Gustavo off from the main hall.
Outside the Black Hole, Asuye waited. Upon Gustavo's appearance, he quickly approached, opened his mouth, but asked nothing, only saying, "Go back."
"Hmm," Gustavo replied, his mind racing with thoughts.
Which Eternal created the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan?
This level of bloodline engineering, specifically targeting the True Dragon Clan, seems to have very few suitable candidates.
The Earth Mother Goddess, the Magic Pioneer, or perhaps the Lord of Primogenitor Mountain — the Nightmare Hydra?!
Further speculation suggests that the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan was specifically created to target the Dragon Clan.
Simple extinction?
That's not quite right. If that were the case, there would be far too many options available, and there would be no need to go to such great lengths to create a powerful Transcendent race.
While pondering, Gustavo returned to the Treacherous Destruction Continent.
With so few clues, he suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began to use the gifts he received at the True God Ascension Banquet to exchange for the resources he truly needed to improve his combat power, preparing to head to the location of the dimensional warehouse— the Destruction Realm Abyss!
at the same time.
The Golden Divine Kingdom also welcomed an uninvited guest: Beiske, Lower God from the Eight Gods' Realm.
