Chapter 386: Waking Up

Chenhuang Realm.

Zhuo Xuan, the co-ruler of eight hundred and eighty worlds, looked at Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar in disbelief.

His eyes were filled with deep incredulity.

Although as co-ruler, Zhuo Xuan also wanted to find a way to survive.

But after using the Golden Buddha Ornament to summon Tian Rulai.

And after the instantaneous exchange of information confirmed many of his suspicions.

Zhuo Xuan's heart had long since turned to ash, and he understood their destined fate.

He had only just accepted the outcome in his heart that there was no salvation and they should just wait for death.

Yet in the blink of an eye, someone beside him said, "Wait, there is still a way to be saved?"

Zhuo Xuan secretly inquired of Tian Rulai.

Tian Rulai lowered his eyelids, recited "Amitabha," and then said:

"The Auspicious Clothing might not care about inanimate objects, but it is extremely sensitive to living things."

Su Ping heard this and remained full of confidence:

"Therefore, the number of people I can take away is limited."

"And the moment of departure will also be the moment of our eternal farewell."

Su Ping's plan was simple: use the Invitation Letter function of the Pot Heaven.

The moment he and Tian Rulai evacuated with their harvest, he would invite those people to enter the Pot Heaven.

What would happen once the Auspicious Clothing realized it?

Wouldn't it just be able to rage impotently?

Its true form might not even be able to peer into the Pot Heaven.

Let alone one of the thousands of fragments of the Auspicious Clothing.

It was just that this tactic sounded less impressive when explained.

So Su Ping packaged it slightly; the Invitation Letter in his hand transformed into a green jade leaf the size of a fingernail.

"This is one of the trump cards for survival that I have obtained."

"Each one can instantly take one person into a special Secret Realm that exists yet does not exist in the Void of the myriad dimensions."

"Never mind being inside this Auspicious Clothing."

"Even the Mother God would be unable to block the divine power of this object."

Zhuo Xuan took this jade leaf, his heart filled with shock and uncertainty.

However, there was one thing he could be sure of.

That was that this jade leaf was extremely miraculous; it looked like a physical object, yet when held, it seemed to be empty.

His various Secret Techniques also had no effect on this jade leaf.

Although he could not learn the specific situation, this point alone made Zhuo Xuan hold the object in higher regard.

Of course, most importantly, in the current situation, Zhuo Xuan had no choice at all.

Whether he believed it or not, this Small Thousand World was doomed.

If by any chance what this sanctimonious brat in front of him said was true.

At the very least, he could leave a spark for this Small Thousand World.

Su Ping watched Zhuo Xuan's thoughts and held up his fingers to remind him:

"First: The quota will not exceed one hundred, and each portion requires Zhuo Xuan to provide a large amount of heavenly treasures in exchange."

"Second: The cultivation base of those using the quota cannot exceed the Golden Core stage."

Zhuo Xuan was slightly shaken, then nodded in understanding.

Cultivators above the Golden Core stage were, in a sense, already marked by the Auspicious Clothing, and any unusual movement would likely be obstructed immediately.

Although Zhuo Xuan was also afraid of death, since things had reached this point, he left the secret chamber.

Soon, the cultivators in the Divine Palace were thrown into a stir after an initial moment of astonishment.

Messages were also sent out from the Divine Palace to every Small World.

The cultivators in those Small Worlds also learned of this path to survival.

No matter how much they doubted it in their hearts.

As long as they were sects or families with any capability.

They all organized teams, brought along their own outstanding disciples and resources, and then took advantage of their remaining mobility to set off for the destination.

Su Ping sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, silently waiting with Tian Rulai.

Su Ping had also considered opening the entrance to the Netherworld.

So as to take a large group of survivors in one go.

But this world was completely enveloped by the Auspicious Clothing.

Once an entrance to an otherworldly realm like the Netherworld was opened, it would definitely trigger a reaction from the Auspicious Clothing.

Su Ping calculated the trump cards currently in his hand.

Finding that he could not guarantee a hundred percent defense against the Auspicious Clothing's retaliation, he had no choice but to abandon this bold idea.

…………

"Faster! Faster!"

A tall, continuous mountain range of snow.

A dilapidated Immortal Boat wobbled as it flew down from the horizon; seeing it was only seven or eight meters from the ground, it narrowly and dangerously pulled up by a hundred meters to fly again.

On the Immortal Boat, dozens of cultivators were pale, and everyone was wounded.

Regardless, they saw a high tower on the peak of the snow-capped mountain.

An old Cultivator's expression eased slightly:

"We will reach the protection range of the Divine Palace soon."

"The harm from the Evil Qi will be reduced significantly, and those people will also..."

Before the old Cultivator could finish his sentence, he suddenly widened his eyes as he saw rays of light erupting from near the high tower.

Within those rays of light were Cultivators with impressive cultivation levels.

Their target was also very clear: it was their Immortal Boat.

This was clearly the behavior of Robber Cultivators!

Yet, the master of the high tower, which belonged to the Divine Palace's forces beside the snow mountain, turned a blind eye to this.

Even though the Immortal Boat sent out one distress signal after another.

The old man on the high tower continued to drink his hot tea in silence, studying the chessboard before him.

There was no help for it; who let the Robber Cultivators acting this time be either the old man's disciples and grand-disciples, or his own bloodline grandsons and granddaughters?

"Do not blame me; the quotas are too expensive."

"But my Mo Family has more than one heaven-gifted prodigy."

The old man sighed softly, and only after the plundering ended did he take action to help wipe away the traces.

Three days later.

Inside the Divine Palace, Zhuo Xuan brought the heavenly treasures and secret manuals of divine arts—which others had voluntarily sent or they had scavenged from various worlds over the past three days—before Su Ping and Tian Rulai.

Su Ping swept his divine sense over them and was very satisfied with the efficiency of Zhuo Xuan and the others.

Indeed, only when people are about to die can they know how much potential they truly have.

After a brief moment of thought.

Su Ping handed one hundred Invitation Letters to Zhuo Xuan for him to distribute.

Su Ping did not care how Zhuo Xuan distributed them afterward.

He was merely reaching a deal with this co-lord.

He would give one hundred local natives a way to survive.

In exchange for them working hard to scavenge valuable items from these worlds for him.

Zhuo Xuan had only been gone for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before he returned.

When Zhuo Xuan returned, there was a thick aura of Blood Qi on his body; clearly, he had killed some people to establish the rules.

"Those selected have all been given jade pieces and have been sent by me to a certain Secret Realm for protection."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Xuan sighed softly and took out his life-bound artifact from within his body.

It was a Jade Ruler.

"Hmm?"

Tian Rulai saw the Jade Ruler and raised his head slightly:

"An innate divine object, to have actually been refined by you into a life-bound divine weapon; it is truly not bad."

"What a pity."

Tian Rulai felt pity for Zhuo Xuan once again.

Excluding Su Ping, Zhuo Xuan was the second most talented and fortunate person he had ever seen.

The first was that Chiyuan Xianren who hailed from a Small World.

As for Su Ping, he was a monster and did not rank.

Su Ping glanced at the Jade Ruler and sensed the dense Innate Gang Qi contained within it.

No wonder it could be called an innate divine object.

However, if there was a need, he could seemingly mass-produce such raw materials for divine objects by using the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree and the collected Innate Gang Qi!

"Your Highness, among those who obtained a jade piece, there is one named Zhuo An, just turned fifteen, who possesses a Supreme Spiritual Root and a Wood Spirit Body."

"I wish to entrust this item to Your Highness; once he breaks through to the Deity Transformation stage, please see if he can be of use to Your Highness."

"If he can, I hope Your Highness will return this item to him; if not, then this item may be disposed of as Your Highness sees fit."

Having said this, Zhuo Xuan took a deep breath and took out a Jade Slip, sending it before Su Ping.

Su Ping swept his divine sense over the Jade Slip; inside were Zhuo Xuan's cultivation insights from his entire life, including various realizations brought to him by the Human King Art after he became the co-lord.

These realizations, even from the perspective of Su Ping's current cultivation, were of great reference value.

Besides this, after Zhuo Xuan received Su Ping's slight nod of agreement.

He revealed a smile, and then, he unexpectedly burned his entire essence blood and Divine Soul.

Even his First Primordial Spirit and Second Primordial Spirit within his body were burned by him.

Eventually, they transformed into a blood-colored Mark, forming a blood-colored Talisman.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"This is the last bit of something I can give."

After sacrificing the blood-colored Talisman, Zhuo Xuan transformed from a charismatic middle-aged man into a withered, bald old man.

The change was extreme, and even his aura began to waver.

Su Ping took the blood-colored Talisman into his hand, his gaze flickering:

"A Forbidden Annihilation Talisman refined at the cost of a Void Breaker Cultivator's cultivation plummeting."

"This is the first time I have seen the real thing."

"Although it can only be used once, it can strike and Seal a powerhouse whose cultivation is no higher than the late stage of Void Breaker."

"Not just that... I still have the Blood Talisman Spirit Body; if the augmentation is successful, perhaps this Talisman could even pose a threat to those below Dao Integration!"

Su Ping was very satisfied, and he also expressed his stance:

"Rest assured, this favor of yours, I have noted it down."

The transaction was complete, and the remaining value of this Small Thousand World had been squeezed dry.

After Su Ping and Tian Rulai exchanged a glance, they used a Secret Technique to escape right before Zhuo Xuan's eyes.

Zhuo Xuan coughed for a good while again.

Yet, having thought of something, he hurriedly opened that special Secret Realm.

He saw that the one hundred boys and girls selected in the Secret Realm were all quietly staying in the library reading books.

Zhuo Xuan had just developed the feeling that he might have been deceived.

When he discovered that the boys and girls suddenly all had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

It seemed as if they had heard some message.

Following that, one by one, they vanished from before Zhuo Xuan's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhuo Xuan truly admired the other party's profound divine ability.

To actually be able to take living people away from inside the belly of the Auspicious Clothing.

Then, he felt the Auspicious Clothing in the outside world sense that something was wrong, and it began to writhe frantically.

Terrifying pressure began to assault the survivors of the world.

Zhuo Xuan, however, laughed out loud, and simply lay down on the ground to wait for death to arrive.

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping specifically bought a new mountain peak to house these sole survivors.

Because of Zhuo Xuan, Su Ping noticed that Zhuo An.

He was easy to recognize; he was just a teenage version of Zhuo Xuan, looking exactly the same.

Furthermore, Su Ping also read the detailed information provided.

He learned that this Zhuo An was not some grandchild, but Zhuo Xuan's youngest son.

If he hadn't encountered the Auspicious Clothing, this Zhuo An could be considered a son of a Human King, a destined future Human King.

But now, he had no other world power to help bolster him.

All he could rely on was himself.

Su Ping did not appear, but simply had the Demon Emperor White Ape bring his disciple Amber over to act as their teacher.

And he found another opportunity to use the Great Library's function to let these boys and girls all find the cultivation methods most suitable for them.

Zhuo An had a Wood Spirit Body and a Superior Grade Spiritual Root, and was recommended the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu Divine Art.

This divine art came from a Great World, and long ago, no one could cultivate it.

Now it was naturally different; seeing this, Su Ping also felt a stir in his heart and provided convenience.

He was also very curious about this level of divine art.

The origin of the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu Divine Art was rumored to have been created by big shots at the Eighth Stage or even Ninth Stage above Dao Integration.

As for physical limitations and the like, as long as one slowly went Fishing, no limitation was a problem.

"These one hundred people are basically the essence selected from that Small Thousand World."

"Although there must be some exchanges involved, the worst Spiritual Root among them is still a Superior Grade Spiritual Root."

"One-third possess a Spirit Body!"

"If cultivated well, they can play a very good role in promoting all walks of life."

The matter of this Small Thousand World could only be considered an interlude.

The Biyuan World continued to advance toward the depths of the darkness.

During this period, they also encountered the Auspicious Clothing drifting over.

However, once this object approached the threat range, Tian Rulai would appear to block its path.

And then he would throw out a clone, leading the Auspicious Clothing away from the Biyuan World.

Sailing in this manner.

On this day.

Su Ping finished his new week of Fishing, not having time to use the special catch he had just fished out.

Su Ping suddenly felt a stir in his heart.

He immediately flew out from the Pot Heaven.

The next second, Su Ping appeared outside the bubble of the Biyuan World, together with Tian Rulai and the group of Evil God children behind him, whose numbers were unknown.

Together, they looked into the Dark Void ahead.

It was as if that place had been covered by a multicolored darkness.

At a glance, there was an illusion that it was covered everywhere by clones of the Auspicious Clothing.

"We've arrived!"

"That should be the place where the Mother God first spoke when she woke up this time!"

Tian Rulai chanted "Amitabha" and spoke in a magnified voice.

Within the darkness behind the Biyuan World, restlessness also appeared.

Monsters like eight-armed dinosaurs, monsters with two-headed lizards for upper bodies and legs covering their lower bodies, and other Evil God children crawled out.

They were all highly ranked, and seemed prepared to have a good talk with this great senior, Tian Rulai.

But before they could make any further moves.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The entire Dark Void suddenly emitted a high-frequency, thunderous sound.

In the blink of an eye, all the Evil Spirits and children of the Evil Gods were left with splitting headaches, unable to care about anything else and forced to fight desperately for self-preservation.

Yet, the very source of their power, their evil energy, began to riot along with them.

Tian Rulai also reacted, flashing back into the Supreme Golden Body within the Bronze High Tower.

"Is this considered the bugle call before the Mother God awakens?"

Divine light shimmered on Su Ping's body, blocking various forms of radiation, so the loud noise was merely a bit noisy to him.

The loud noise was only the beginning; as it continued, Su Ping noticed that the space of the Dark Void also began to become unstable.

Space began to swap with space.

Su Ping saw the space where the children of the Evil Gods were located suddenly swapped into the area surrounded by the Auspicious Clothing.

There were also instances where the Auspicious Clothing was thrown to a distant place, forcing it to hurry back.

Su Ping had the Biyuan World pause for the time being.

Then, he released the Sun Moon Star Chart.

On the scroll, the Jianmu Divine Tree slowly emerged.

Once the Jianmu Divine Light appeared.

One could clearly feel a sense of the surrounding space being locked in place.
