Chapter 149
Outer space of Douluo Star.
This was the first time Chen Mo had ever flown into outer space using only his own strength. When he was in the Golden Core, he could barely rely on spatial power to jump over the ozone layer, stratosphere, and gale layer. Now, he was directly using his own cultivation to overcome numerous obstacles and arrive at the outer edge of the planet.
It's no wonder that in some worlds, those at the Nascent Soul Stage can be called Earth Immortals; they do indeed possess a Sisi of the abilities that only true immortals and gods should have.
Chen Mo came to the outside of the planet not for any other reason than to seal up Douluo Star. Now that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue have become gods, and both are First-Level God, it's fine if they don't go to the Divine Realm for a short time. But if it goes on for too long, the Divine Realm will definitely send people to inspect and give them a deadline to go to the Divine Realm.
Stillness breeds thought.
It's been almost five or six years, and Chen Mo has now broken through to the Fourth-Tier Nascent Soul Stage, and he wants to go and have some fun in other worlds again.
I was really scared when I first transmigrated. I was told that the highest combat power in the Small Thousand World was only the fifth rank, but I ended up in the Great Thousand World, and the most top-tier Great Thousand World at that, where sixth-rank gods were as numerous as hairs on a cow.
Chen Mo had been traumatized, but now that he had broken through another realm, Chen Mo felt confident and was planning to take Lin Yaodong to other worlds to gain experience.
However, the Divine Realm was a potential threat before this.
Chen Mo could eliminate the threat permanently by using a Experience Card to slaughter all the gods in the entire Divine Realm, but Chen Mo would prefer Chen Mo to do it, paving the way for her to become the Lord of the Divine Realm in the future.
As luck would have it, Chen Mo opened the box and found a treasure.
World-Sealing Pearl (Tier 5): Can seal Small Thousand World for a hundred years; it cannot be broken by anyone other than a Tier 6 deity.
With this pearl, those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in. Isn't this a compromise?
Although the Douluo World is a seventh-order world, Chen Mo did not intend to seal the entire world. The only part that was truly sealed was Douluo Star. The World-Sealing Pearl was sufficient to accomplish this. In fact, because the sealed area was smaller, the sealing power would be even stronger. Even if a sixth-order god were to appear, he would not be able to break through the World-Sealing Pearl in a short time.
Chen Mo first made some preparations, setting up several Spirit Gathering Array. Once he started using them, his True Essence would definitely not be enough, and he might have to waste another Fifth-Tier God Card from the Douluo World.
After Chen Mo summoned the World-Sealing Pearl, his True Essence was absorbed like a tide. Chen Mo's Chen Mo changed. Although he knew that a lot of energy was consumed, he did not expect it to be this much.
He immediately cast a spell, activating all the Spirit Gathering Array. At the same time, Chen Mo Chen Mo used a Fifth-Tier Experience Card, intending to draw upon the power of the world's divine rules.
A sudden change occurred: the Space God Emperor Godhood that had always followed him suddenly rushed into Chen Mo's body and took the initiative to recognize Chen Mo as its master.
Strangely enough, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage this time, the Divine Spark of the Space God Emperor Godhood has remained, unlike the previous times when Godhood would automatically disappear after three days.
However, seeing that there was no harm in it, Chen Mo stopped worrying about it. In reality, he couldn't do anything about it anyway. The Godhood was the embodiment of the world's origin, so how could Chen Mo possibly deal with such a thing?
But now it suddenly attacked while he was off guard. Chen Mo's face changed. He immediately mobilized his Divine Power and True Essence to block it and try to expel it from his body.
But in just a moment, Chen Mo's True Essence was shattered, and his Divine Power was even worse. Not only could it not help Chen Mo, it actually acted as a guide, opening a back door for the Godhood to enter Chen Mo's body more easily.
Chen Mo pondered for about a ten-thousandth of a second before unleashing his only Sixth-Tier Experience Card, which was also Chen Mo strongest trump card at the moment, without exception.
Sixth-Tier Experience Card: Nezha the Third Prince.
Just as Chen Mo's sea of consciousness was about to collapse, a massive surge of Spiritual Power and soul energy poured into Chen Mo's body. The Space God Emperor Godhood, which had been unstoppable, was immediately halted and forced back step by step, gradually being pushed out of Chen Mo's body.
Just as the Godhood spark was about to be forced out, and just when Chen Mo thought he was about to succeed, a thought emerged from the Godhood: Why are you so reluctant to accept my gift to you?
Chen Mo's expression changed drastically.
Who is it?
Chen Mo tentatively transmitted his question to the Godhood through soul communication.
"Who are you?"
A message was quickly transmitted from within the Godhood.
"I am this world, and this world is me. You can regard me as the will of this world."
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "Are you the will of this world? What do you want to do to me?"
The World Will: "I am helping you. No matter how much I enhance your fortune, you can only become the Child of the World of this era at most. You cannot become the Child of Destiny this way. Only by accepting the power of the rules I pass on to you, that is, the Godhood, can you communicate directly with me and have the power of destiny infused into your body, thus becoming the Child of Destiny."
Chen Mo: "Why should I become the Child of Destiny? What good will it do me?"
World Will: "After becoming the Child of Destiny, you will receive the gifts of this world. The very essence of heaven and earth will be at your disposal. You can communicate with me at any time to improve yourself."
For the next incense stick's time, the World Will became the Child of Destiny, and the benefits of the Child of the World being in two positions were explained to Chen Mo. After the system confirmed that it was true, Chen Mo believed what the World Will said.
To be honest, the promises made by the World Will are really tempting, but one thing is certain: Chen Mo can never become some kind of Child of Destiny.
That is: after becoming the Child of Destiny, one will be connected to this world, sharing its joys and sorrows, its prosperity and its decline. The world's level is seventh rank, so with the power of destiny, Chen Mo can now possess seventh-rank combat power. The stronger the world can withstand, the stronger Chen Mo can become at any time.
Although these can only be used in this world, it is still incredibly tempting. With just this one shudder, Chen Mo could save himself thousands or even tens of thousands of years of struggle.
Unfortunately, it just won't work. If he didn't have a system and couldn't travel to other worlds, Chen Mo would have just accepted it. But the problem is, he has one, so he's definitely not going to let himself be tied to just one person.
After listening to the World Will's explanation of the benefits and responsibilities, Chen Mo replied, "Although your offer is very generous, and I am very grateful for your kindness, it is a pity that my ambitions lie elsewhere, so I must politely decline. You should look for someone else."
Upon hearing Chen Mo's reply, the Godhood remained silent for Jiujiu, just as Chen Mo was preparing to expel this time bomb from his body.
A message from the World Will came from within the Godhood: Why do you refuse? It seems there's no harm in it for you. The minds of you beings are truly complex.
Based on the information the system had given him, Chen Mo explained to her, "The reason you chose me as the chosen one is probably because you value my abilities and Immortal Cultivator identity Child of Destiny, right?"
The World Will: "Yes, what you cultivate is something this world has never seen before, and it can help me continue to grow and perfect this world. That's why I spared no effort to make you the Child of Destiny of this world, even the only Child of Destiny. Furthermore, you are the only chosen Child of the World, with two distinct personalities combined. You are unique, and in this world, your status is the highest, without exception."
Chen Mo laughed, "What you said is indeed correct. If I accept your gift, I can indeed instantly become the strongest person in this world, reaching a height that no one in history has ever been able to achieve. However, once I accept it, I will be bound to this world, forever stuck at the seventh rank, unable to reach the eighth rank or even higher."
Chen Mo: "Hmm, let me think. Since you are so eager for me to become your Child of Destiny, and you seem to know something about the rules and hierarchy of the world, does that mean you have entrances to other worlds here? Or perhaps you have had some contact with other worlds?"
The World Will remained silent for an even longer time this time, and Chen Mo seemed to have guessed something, so he stopped urging him and waited for the World Will's answer.
After a long while, the World Will finally sent a message: "I did indeed capture a fragmented world. The will of that world had long been obliterated, and even its world origin had mostly dissipated. Only after absorbing the remaining source power of that world was I able to advance from a sixth-order world to a seventh-order world."
"It was from that time that I understood the cruelty of the world, and realized what hierarchy was. I learned that the world could continue to grow and advance. Therefore, whether for self-preservation or to continue growing, I had to become stronger. That's why there were so many Godhood and positions later on. I needed them to improve this world, to help it improve, and to help it develop."
"The best way to develop this is naturally to devour the primal power of other worlds. After all, relying solely on my own slow improvement yields far too little primal power, and if other worlds try to seize it, I have no power to protect myself and must rely on the power of the beings within me."
"And that's why I chose you. The cultivation method you brought showed me its power. Once you become the Child of Destiny, under your leadership, many powerful individuals will surely emerge in this world. They can not only protect this world, but also plunder the source power of other worlds to strengthen me, and in return, I will give energy back to you."
"This is a mutually beneficial arrangement, and I really don't know why you would refuse."
Chen Mo shook his head. "I've roughly guessed what you're saying, but advancing in a world is a billion times harder than advancing in an individual world. Besides, you yourself said you've only recently entered the seventh-tier world. How long would it take me to help you advance? I'm afraid you might not be able to do it even when you reach the end of your life in this world. So, no matter how eloquently you describe it, I will not agree."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, his tone changed again. "However, I can recommend someone to you. If she gets involved with you, she'll be in a similar situation to me. I can't just leave her alone. What do you think?"
World Will: "You're talking about that girl who shares the same cultivation method and bloodline as you, right? She's also on my shortlist, but she's not as good as you; you're the first choice."
Chen Mo coaxed, "We humans have a saying, 'Blood is thicker than water.' She's my sister, my own flesh and blood, her affairs are my affairs. If you bind her to me and are willing to give her the position of Lord of the World, then from then on, your affairs are my affairs, and the affairs of this world are my affairs. Do you think I'd just watch my sister die with you? I'd definitely find a way to help you continue advancing, so she can also break through to the eighth rank."
Upon hearing the term "Lord of the World," the World Will was instantly unsettled. "How do you know about the Lord of the World?"
Chen Mo grinned slyly, revealing his pearly white teeth, and said, "You don't think I'm unaware of the rules of this world, do you? You know very well that I can travel to other worlds at any time. Do you think I don't know what you've been through?"
The World Will's tone visibly faltered. "Even for you, I only intend to grant you the title of Child of Destiny. Lord of the World, even you cannot, let alone your sister."
Chen Mo waved his hand. "Then there's nothing to talk about. Forget it. You go your way, I'll go mine. We'll each go our own way, and from now on, let's not bother each other."
After saying that, Chen Mo planned to completely expel the Godhood. The World Will was also anxious when it saw this. It was precisely because the Godhood was in Chen Mo's body that the World Will was able to transmit information to Chen Mo's brain. Once it was squeezed out, it would be difficult to communicate with Chen Mo again.
Therefore, the World Will quickly said, "Wait a moment, we can discuss this further."
Chen Mo then asked with a grin, "How do we plan to discuss this?"
The World Will said, "I can give your sister the position of the Child of Destiny, in exchange for your help in the world's advancement."
Chen Mo nodded blankly. "Okay, goodbye. No, I mean goodbye."
After saying that, Chen Mo prepared to drive it out.
The World Will sent another urgent message: "Wait, wait, how about I give your sister the title of Child of the World? This was originally the treatment I was going to give you."
hehe.
Chen Mo was disdainful and said nothing more, simply continuing to chase it away.
The World Will finally relented. "Alright, you win."
Chen Mo laughed heartily, "If we had done this earlier, nothing would have happened. Why waste everyone's time and drag things out?"
World Will: "I can give your sister the status of Lord of the World, but she can only start as a seed. I can't reveal all my cards at the beginning. You should understand what the status of Lord of the World represents."
As her strength and abilities gradually increase and she meets the corresponding requirements, her rank will slowly rise until she is qualified to become the Lord of the World. In addition, you must make Great Dao Oath and do your best to help me advance.
These are my conditions. If you can't even meet these, then I'll just have to keep waiting until the next suitable candidate comes along.
