This was Thera, the Goddess of this multiverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sitting opposite her was her equal in appearance, his facial features so perfectly sculpted they seemed to defy nature, his long black hair bound in a simple clasp, his deep eyes holding the memory of a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Cai Zhen, a God from the multiverse of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded quietly, his brow furrowed, his body thrumming with a little anxiety. This place felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, a being who had forged his divinity through continuous hardship, who had absorbed the spiritual energy of the heavens for three thousand years, was sitting in a world that had no spiritual energy to absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was empty. He was suffocating from the absence of Qi, and the woman across from him had no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" he said, his voice calm despite the growing panic in his soul, \"can you help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thera, the Goddess of Divine Annihilation, studied him with an intense curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her multiverse was sealed and protected by a barrier, And yet, this man, this \"Cai Zhen,\" had torn his way into it, appearing like a comet, a being of a power she had never felt before. A power that was now... diminishing slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help you?\" she repeated. \"You are a God. I am a Goddess. I sensed the power you used to breach the barrier of this multiverse of mine. Why would you need my help to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gestsured to the crystal-clear sky above them and said, \"The edge of the multiverse is that way. I am not like you. I cannot traverse my entire realm in a matter of years like you spoke of. For me, it would take thousands of years\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goddess Thera, I have a... complication,\" Cai Zhen said, his pride warring with his desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Walker of the Space technique, the one I used to travel here, requires an immense amount of a specific energy. An energy your world does not possess. We call it Qi. Without it, I am... stranded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thera’s perfect eyebrows rose. \"No Qi? No power? Still you will be a God, you can try to live without powers here\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a cultivator,\" he explained, trying to find the words. \"My body, my very divinity, is forged from the Qi I have absorbed over three hundred thousand years. I am a vessel of that power. But this place... your air is empty. My vessel is not being refilled. In fact, it is leaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his own hands, which, to his horror, seemed a fraction less divine, than they had a day ago. \"If I stay here, I will regress. My cultivation will fall apart. I will revert from a God to a demigod, and then... I will become a mortal. And I will die of old age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thera was truly, profoundly shocked. A God who could regress? A divine being who could just... die... from being in the wrong place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own power was innate, a talent gifted to her by the multiverse. It was a part of her soul, as inseparable as her own consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man... he was a different order of being entirely. A God whose power was a resource, not a right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... see,\" she said, her mind racing. He was a puzzle, a being from an outside world, and he was dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a prickle of something, a twinge of... bad karma, as he might call it. \"I cannot have you die here. It would disrupt the balance of my world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward. \"If you have no energy, and I cannot take you, then you are truly stuck. However, if you have around hundred thousand years left to live, you can take one of my fastest spaceships.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhen smiled bitterly. \"I cannot survive that long...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... fascinating,\" Thera mused. This changed everything. He was not a powerful invader she thought he was; he was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A predatory yet curious glint entered her eyes. \"And yet, you came to me for help. What payment could a powerless God possibly offer me, I can just take away anything you have of value?\" she said, as she remembered the promise of Cai Zhen when he asked for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The promise stated that he would give her something valueable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhen met her gaze, his calm returning. \"I can give you something you cannot take, even if you were to strike me down right now,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can give you my knowledge. The secrets of cultivation. The art of breaking the barrier of a multiverse. These things are locked in my soul, in my memories. You can kill me, and you will gain nothing. But help me... and I will teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thera’s interest was piqued. She thought of her own ultimate talent, Divine Annihilation. It was a power that allowed her to create a thousand divine swords from nothing and obliterate any target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had a cooldown. It was a skill she could use only once per day. This man, this cultivator, he spoke of power as a resource he could wield at will, as long as he had this \"Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was on a different, perhaps a more efficient, yet controlling path towards godhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As much as I would enjoy a new... companion,\" she said, her voice a low, alluring purr, \"I do not want a dying mortal in my garden. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood, her form radiating a new power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held out her hand to him. \"I will help you. I will use my own power, my own high speed talent, to carry you to the edge of my multiverse. It will still take time, but just around a thousand years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Goddess Thera,\" Cai Zhen said, a wave of relief washing over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I do not want your gratitude,\" Thera said, her voice hardening, the warm maiden replaced by the cold Goddess. \"I want payment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned in, her flawless face just inches from his. \"You broke into my multiverse. I want to know how. In return for my help, you will teach me your art. You will teach me how to break the barrier of a multiverse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhen looked at her, and then past her, his mind’s eye recalling the journey through the endless, terrifying void between multiverses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the moment, just before he had found Thera’s realm, that he had seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A different multiverse, a colossal sphere of light so vast, filled with a chaotic and immense power that his own multiverse felt like a dim candle in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had felt a strange pull from it. A pull of fate. But Thera’s realm had been closer, and midway. Thus he decided to take a breather in this multiverse and refill his reserves only to find the world doesn’t have any qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to get back to the void. He had to find that bright multiverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I accept your terms, Goddess Thera,\" he said, his gaze fixed on that distant hope. \"Help me reach the end of the multiverse and I will teach you how to break the barrier\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1291,"2026-06-03T13:55:08.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","99f55fc3a4b9a55fe61aeb21cc179687158a22bdb353069b96c50bfe798bd202","global-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-chapter-59","global-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-chapter-217",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-cover.jpg"]
