Chapter 385: The Clothes of Auspiciousness and Satisfaction

~15 min read 2,891 words

The Kaluo Federation ushered in an unprecedented transformation.

The original class structure of Commoners, Citizens, Elites, and Nobles was completely shattered.

Those families that had prepared their knowledge reserves and were eager to rise again, believing they could do so even in a new era.

Soon discovered that their preparations were somewhat laughable.

Unless one was truly gifted and could enter the Academy of Sciences.

Otherwise, the new era's utilization of them did not look at how their scholarship was.

Instead, it first looked at whether they possessed any Spirit Root.

This left many family leaders somewhat bewildered.

This alien civilization actually valued bloodline and origin even more than the Kaluo Civilization!

However, the good news was that the others truly wanted this thing.

If you have it, you have it; if you don't, you don't; it would not change because of who the other party was.

Some who were originally Commoners were promoted to high positions.

Some who were originally Elites fell to working alongside their former subordinates.

The ones with the greatest disparity were those Nobles who had slipped through the net.

These aristocrats, who considered themselves superior, found it hard to believe that their aptitude was actually inferior to those Commoners and Citizens.

Some could not help but shout about a cover-up.

The result was naturally being directly suppressed with an iron fist.

The responsible Golden Core Spirit Beast slightly revealed its Dharma Image, trampling a large group of agitators to death, and also caused all unstable factors to sink back down.

The manpower and material resources of the Kaluo Civilization were taken away.

Further utilization of the mother planet, however, was not that fast.

After all, distance was ultimately a threshold.

One couldn't just use a Teleportation Talisman to lead the way every time, right?

Furthermore, in the Solar System, the development of the Water Blue Star Civilization had only just reached Mars.

Developing the Kaluo Mother Planet and even the entire Kaluo Star System.

Could only be considered a shortcut mission objective set by Su Ping, this Savior Heavenly Venerable, for the Water Blue Star Civilization.

After controlling the Solar System, there would be no need to research how to cross the long spatial distances between star systems; one could go directly to another star system.

Watching everything, there were no more twists and turns.

Even those behind-the-scenes elder alliances of the Kaluo Federation who claimed to have mastered some secrets were directly invaded by Su Ping's divine sense to read their memories, and then directly humanely destroyed.

Making Su Ping the person who grasped the most secrets of the Kaluo Federation.

It was just that in the face of absolute power, those conspiracies and tricks didn't even count as scraps.

Su Ping also disdained to use them.

Su Ping scanned this mother planet of the Kaluo Civilization and said indifferently:

"This planet still has great potential for cultivation."

"After I achieve Dao Integration, I can develop this planet into a seafood planet for raising aquatic products."

"That kind of small sea fish is not bad; it can serve as the signature product of this planet!"

Having set the general development policy, Su Ping left behind two Immortal Boats and more than twenty Golden Core Spirit Beasts to guard the Kaluo Mother Planet.

The rest were all withdrawn into the Sun Moon Star Chart, and then returned to the Cultivation World.

Inside the Mother God where the Cultivation World was located.

During this period, this Dark Void could be said to be increasingly unpredictable.

In some places, there had been no waves during this time.

In other places, however, Evil Qi Tides had appeared ten or twenty times in succession, eventually forming a terrifying Evil Qi Vortex.

Even large Evil Spirits were unwilling to approach.

In such an environment.

Tian Rulai was guiding Bi Yuan Star to continuously advance in a certain direction.

Behind Bi Yuan Star, where the tail formed by starlight was about to disappear.

Dense darkness was maintaining its speed, following closely behind Bi Yuan Star.

It neither got too close to affect the Yuanling of Bi Yuan Star, nor would it pull away by even half a distance.

Moreover, the existences within this darkness were all condensing some kind of killing move.

Just waiting for a major variable to appear, they would strike fiercely.

…………

Not long after Su Ping returned this time, his heart stirred, and he noticed white light appearing in the distance of the Dark Void.

Closing his eyes, he released his Primordial Spirit to probe out of the Barrier of Biyuan World.

Under the protection of numerous divine weapons and treasures, Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar condensed a Dharma Eye and looked over.

Swoosh!

After a few breaths.

Su Ping saw that in that extremely distant place, there was actually a string of Small Thousand Worlds.

The number was about eight hundred, forming a basketball shape.

What surprised Su Ping a little was that this Small Thousand World, which clearly had fewer small worlds than the previous ones, looked quite dilapidated, yet it had persisted in the Dark Void until now without any major problems.

In astonishment, Su Ping's Dharma Eye turned.

He had already glimpsed fragments of the River of Time from the traces all around.

Su Ping was able to see that when the Evil Qi Tide struck in the Dark Void.

Those small worlds on the outermost periphery of this Small Thousand World, after showing signs of being unable to hold on.

Would shrink back inside to rest, and then other small worlds that had finished resting inside would move up to withstand the impact of the Evil Qi Tide.

"There is an expert in this Small Thousand World!"

"And they must have also obtained some kind of special divine weapon or magic treasure, enabling them to communicate with the surrounding small worlds, making this kind of formation tactic possible to implement."

Only then did Su Ping become interested in this Small Thousand World.

He immediately discovered that in the Dark Void nearby, a patch of colorful black had appeared.

Yes, it was clearly a patch of darkness, yet one could see it as colorful.

The voice of Tian Rulai also drew near at this moment:

"Do not be surprised, that is one of the thousands of Avatars that the Mother God sleeps within her body."

"It has many names, but we old ones would call them the Mother God's Auspicious Clothing."

"When the Mother God is about to wake up, they will also appear in large numbers, and the moment the Mother God opens her mouth, they will fly out, transforming into various garments to drape over the Mother God's body."

"Auspicious Clothing... this name."

Su Ping found it a bit hard to understand.

But after his Dharma Eye made contact with this patch of colorful darkness.

Su Ping discovered that within the information of these Auspicious Clothing, there were concepts such as the God of Auspiciousness, the Lucky Goddess, the Wish Mother God, and so on.

Which is to say, in the distant past, who knows how long ago.

These Avatars of the Mother God, the Auspicious Clothing, had once roamed the thousands of worlds of the Time River under these titles.

Spreading faith, shaping their own divine bodies.

And then they fell into a state where even their devout believers probably wouldn't recognize them?

Su Ping suddenly felt that the Mother God becoming like this now probably also had a miserable past...

Su Ping thought to himself.

He saw this patch of colorful darkness suddenly become larger and larger.

From initially occupying about the size of one small world, it changed to a size sufficient to cover thousands upon thousands of small worlds.

"Size change, is it a Wishful Divine Ability?"

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he looked toward the Small Thousand World with some regret.

And in that Small Thousand World composed of eight hundred and eighty small worlds.

Zhuo Xuan, the Son of Destiny of the Chenhuang Realm and the undisputed co-lord of this Small Thousand World, revealed a strong sense of unwillingness on his face.

He had clearly already done everything he could to the best of his ability.

Clearly, during the previous crisis, he had led the billions of Daoists of hundreds of small worlds.

After paying a price of over four-fifths in casualties, they had persisted to the end, without abandoning or giving up on a single small world!

His prestige had reached its peak because of this.

The Human King Art he had obtained in his youth had also been pushed to its highest level because of this.

Allowing him to become the first Return to Void True Monarch in this Small Thousand World in ten million years to touch that threshold.

Zhuo Xuan, who did not know how difficult the subsequent steps were, believed that he could break through that threshold and seek a glimmer of survival.

Yet he did not expect.

After the great disaster... there was actually another great disaster!

And compared to the previous Evil Qi Tide and those endless Evil Spirit monsters.

The colorful darkness before his eyes that covered the Small Thousand World from all directions.

Was simply like the contrast between starlight and the bright moon.

From Su Ping's perspective.

That mass of colorful darkness gently covered the Small Thousand World like a piece of flying cloth.

And then slowly wrapped up every gap.

Causing the light of the Small Thousand World to completely disappear before Su Ping's Dharma Eye.

"It was swallowed just like that?"

Su Ping whispered.

"Of course it is not that simple; the opponent is merely an Avatar of the Mother God's Avatar."

"It is even just one of thousands of fragments."

"However, inside the Auspicious Clothing, the World Barrier will be rapidly digested."

"At the same time, the Evil Qi invasion will double, and it will only take a short time to turn a small world into a living hell."

After Tian Rulai sighed.

He looked at Su Ping:

"Amitabha."

"Great Compassionate Savior Heavenly Venerable, do you have any interest in continuing that act of compassion?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"You dare to snatch food that has already been wrapped up? And you have the ability to snatch it?"

Tian Rulai pressed his six hands together, and his three heads smiled slightly at the same time:

"Originally, I naturally could not and would not dare to."

"It is just that, who told the co-lord of that Small Thousand World to happen to be a chess piece left behind by this venerable one a thousand years ago?"

"This venerable one was quite optimistic about this chess piece before."

"After all, he is a rare talent who was able to learn the long-lost Human King Art."

"It is a pity; the current environment does not allow time for him to continue growing."

"In fact, even without encountering the Auspicious Clothing, if not for the high-ranking sons of Evil Gods, they would almost all be following behind our backs."

"His little tricks cannot block the previous wave of Evil Qi Tide."

"However, that being said."

"He, and the items of value around him, should be recovered."

"We are only recovering items that lack the aura of living beings."

"Carrying the aura of the original body, I imagine the Auspicious Clothing will not mind."

After listening, Su Ping more or less understood what Tian Rulai intended to do.

It planned to go to that Small Thousand World to recover its investment returns.

"Hmm... acts of compassion are always fresh when done often."

"Being able to preserve some Dharma lineages that are about to be lost, and ensuring some divine weapons and treasures are not buried just like that."

"It can also be considered a deed of immeasurable merit!"

The two reached a consensus happily.

Neither side caused any major commotion.

Su Ping utilized a Primordial Spirit Avatar, and Tian Rulai only sent out a Supreme Golden Body.

Following the operation of the Secret Technique.

Chenhuang Realm.

Ice Cold Continent, inside the Absolute Cold Divine Palace.

Because of the large-scale invasion of Evil Qi, even though it was wrapped up, no external Evil Spirits appeared.

Yet it could not stop the native creatures of the Small World from beginning to turn into Evil Spirits.

Especially those who were wounded; their bodies were already tainted with Evil Qi.

The Evil Qi Tide also impacted their minds.

This massive outbreak of Evil Qi.

Most of these people inevitably began to turn evil.

Many people developed mutated limbs or even heads.

Then, naturally, a certain moment of madness served as the fuse, making it impossible for these Cultivators who once protected the world to ever go back.

Zhuo Xuan led his trusted aides to kill one former comrade after another.

The more he fought, the more he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Especially the changes in his own body, which made him realize the flaws of the Human King Art.

Because he brought victory, he became a Return to Void True Monarch, and his insights in all aspects sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.

But as the terror descended, he was unable to reverse this situation in a short time.

The disappointment of hundreds of millions of living beings toward him, their co-lord.

Caused his Human King Art to almost stop operating.

Countless insights also disappeared, and some he already had were being forgotten.

His cultivation base still operated smoothly as one, yet he could not unleash even a percentage of his power.

The once smooth-sailing Zhuo Xuan became increasingly agitated and, taking his trusted aides, chose to enter the Absolute Cold Divine Palace to rest.

This was the place where his companion practiced, relying on a great array set up according to the favorable timing and terrain.

It also made this one of the few places not yet eroded by Evil Qi.

After Zhuo Xuan entered the rear hall and visited his relatives.

He looked at his grandchildren and hesitated for a while.

In the end, he did not pass on the Human King Art.

After he informed everyone to guard the gate.

He went into the underground secret chamber alone.

Activating the great array, Zhuo Xuan took a deep breath and took out a small Golden Buddha Ornament from his chest.

A thousand years ago, when he was just a little beggar.

Because of his Heaven-Born Divine Strength, he beat away the old beggars in the ruined temple and occupied it alone, and that was where he obtained this Golden Buddha Ornament.

From the hands of this Golden Buddha Ornament, Zhuo Xuan obtained the opportunity that changed his life.

By now.

After many transactions, Zhuo Xuan also understood more or less what he was trading with.

A son of an Evil God, and a high-ranking, extremely dangerous son of an Evil God at that.

But by now.

It was time again for the last resort, even though it was clearly agreed that it could not be used, but the situation was critical and it had to be used.

Zhuo Xuan silently recited the incantation.

He channeled his Dharma Power into the Golden Buddha Ornament.

It seemed the situation was different.

The Golden Buddha Ornament, which had manifested its spirit every time, was as calm as an ancient well this time.

This made Zhuo Xuan's heart sink; seeing his lifeline could not be used, he was already panicked.

He recited the incantation again, trying one time after another, unwilling to give up.

Finally, after the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

Golden Light emerged from the underground secret chamber.

Zhuo Xuan was first delighted, then immediately alarmed.

He discovered two unfamiliar figures had appeared in the secret chamber.

"You! Who are you!"

"Son of the Evil God... no, Mingguang Ancient Buddha?"

Various divine weapon auras manifested on Zhuo Xuan's body, and his gaze was filled with uncertainty as he looked at Tian Rulai.

"That is one of my avatars."

"I prefer that you address me as Tian Rulai!"

Tian Rulai smiled benevolently, then extended his right hand and opened his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a Jade Pendant that recorded and assisted in the cultivation of the Human King Art appeared in his palm.

Seeing this scene.

Zhuo Xuan secretly thought as expected, and looked at Tian Rulai:

"Tian Rulai, are you only here to take back the cultivation technique?"

"Do you intend to abandon the Chenhuang Realm, to abandon this entire Small Thousand World?"

Tian Rulai nodded slightly, not feeling there was any issue, and looked at Zhuo Xuan, saying:

"The Auspicious Clothing is not something we can break; Donor Zhuo Xuan should have sensed this long ago."

"I was only able to enter by relying on my connection with you, Donor, and... in the subconscious of the Auspicious Clothing, I barely count as a target for consumption."

"Donor's world is beyond saving."

"The world may be beyond saving, but the people are not necessarily so."

Just at this moment, Su Ping suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, it caused both Tian Rulai and Zhuo Xuan to tremble in unison.

They were well aware that they were already inside the Auspicious Clothing.

Could there really be some way?
