Chapter 297: True Goddess Reincarnation

The "Sacred Essence" obtained from the previous Copy...

Not only was it a reinforcement for Xia Zhi himself...

but also theoretically opened up possibilities for developing native divine power—

allowing divinity confined to a planet to have further possibilities, to tear apart the world, pioneer civilizations, and one day reach the Starry Expanse.

Though it was only "theoretically."

But the possibility of this theory alone was enough for Xia Zhi to attempt.

After all, the native world was no simple place either; it was simply a land of outstanding people and spiritual energy, with heroes emerging in droves, and who knew how many things had happened on this small place called Earth.

Because Xia Zhi's Great Dao Golden Core was quite special, the main material of the Pill Embryo used was an Observation Device that "continuously recorded various phenomena and possibilities on Earth," also serving as an Automatic Secretary.

As an absolute Observer—

it was not like the Quantum Recording Fixed Belt, discarding many "ifs" and merely unifying facts.

Quite the opposite, in order to record everything equally and faithfully, it did not allow any "unseen parts."

Observing and calculating the constantly branching "fate" by the second, presenting a system tree of fate in full view also meant it was observing and recording even the "ifs."

Thus Xia Zhi discovered just how fierce the competition was on this small plot of Earth.

He did not need to observe the possibilities of parallel worlds himself; he only needed to skim through them, and within the Photon Network inside the Golden Core, the huge Memory Chips regarding this part...

would allow him to understand how disaster-ridden this planet was.

Who knew what a terrible scene of demons dancing in chaos it would be after leaving this planet and heading toward the sea of stars?

—Not to mention Predatory Planets, almost every parallel world was plagued by planets...

—In the distant universe, there were clearly unspeakable evil gods active...

And behind King Solomon, that unique god in the Bible, though currently having no presence, apparently had outrageously high Prestige...

Then there was the Buddhist system; what could currently be confirmed was that Bodhisattva-level beings were "Heaven/Gods" with cosmic-scale existence, able to easily manage the Solar System.

In that case, the status of the Buddha was probably unimaginable.

Besides, there were many similar examples, to the extent that after roughly browsing through Mooncell's records and broadening his horizons...

Xia Zhi quickly straightened his mindset and also shook off the slight sense of unreality brought by realm promotion and power swelling.

It was merely becoming a Golden Core Cultivator; there was nothing worth being proud of, and he could not therefore be complacent, for that would only make him lack a sense of crisis and drag down his cultivation.

That was right.

He had to have a sense of crisis, and his gaze had to be more long-term.

A man must be ruthless to stand firm, especially in such a world of outstanding people and spiritual energy where heroes emerged in droves; he wanted to find his place among the stars...

Conservatively estimated, he absolutely needed the Dao Conduct of the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Spirit Severing Stage.

The only thing worth celebrating was that, just as Predatory Planets entered the Galaxy only once every fourteen thousand years, giving people enough time to develop during this period.

Those top bigshots were the same; they basically would not appear anymore...

And slight occasional interference mostly tended toward the positive, like the "God" giving instructions to King Solomon, leaving a distant gift for the future at the time of his death.

In short, this could more or less give people a bit of peace of mind.

Xia Zhi thought so, and at the same time he wanted to improve too much, and firmly believed he must seize such a precious window period and strive to improve.

…………

"... In conclusion, that's what I think."

Xia Zhi laid out his thoughts, finished the whole matter in one breath, then paused for a moment and gently exhaled.

Of course.

It was a gentle exhale under the conscious restriction of himself.

So no wind pressure was kicked up.

The only thing was a layer of fresh mountain mist blowing in from outside the window, bringing a just-right and pleasant slight coolness.

The sky outside was somewhat gloomy.

Today there was also no scenery of twilight and setting sun, only vague dark clouds, a gloomy sky, and faint thunder.

The girl also withdrew her gaze from outside the window; the drizzling rain had been falling for more than ten days, and they had stayed in this village for more than ten days.

However, it could not be called weariness.

Even so, deep in Vivian's heart, she faintly hoped such weather would continue.

It felt like the most common weather in the Land of the End, raining for most of the year, yet it was a peaceful and tranquil country.

The gray sky that could be looked up to through the window, the gentle sound of raindrops.

This was her favorite weather.

Although this was not Onyx's study that she liked when she was young, but...

Vivian cast her gaze toward the youth in front, pursed her lips, and then her gaze shifted slightly downward; the other's hands were holding one of her palms.

That warm touch enveloped her.

This came not only from the temperature of the other's palm, but also from the strange power the other shared with her.

Light—

Faint and gentle light—

was dissipating from Xia Zhi's body, like a kind of sacred halo, encircling his and Vivian's bodies opposite him.

Like a kind of phantom pattern, and also like wandering spirit light chasing its own tail, it slowly coiled and rotated, at a very slow speed.

However, that sacred, awe-inspiring, powerful momentum still faintly emanated.

"I basically understand..."

Vivian spoke calmly, thinking as she spoke, her gaze also moving along with the spirit light circling around the two of them.

"So you need to make some additional contingency plans, right."

"That's only natural. You can't put all your eggs in one basket; we must also diversify our investments, we can't rely on me for everything..." Xia Zhi laughed, admitting it frankly.

In front of this girl, he didn't need to disguise his true thoughts.

He only needed to directly state his considerations and concerns; she would be able to understand.

"True. Your Road is hard to replicate; others can't even decipher Index's copies, let alone learn and understand the Abnormal Knowledge and Abnormal Laws within..."

Vivian said seriously: "And if it's as you say, this Divine Power has a higher Upper Limit, and Divine Power can also be voluntarily shared and transferred, then this is perhaps indeed the optimal choice."

At least for now.

It is the optimal choice.

This means it theoretically has the possibility to let a Divine Spirit's power grow further, with the Opportunity to walk out of the Star.

And if successful, such an Existence would have the chance to become Xia Zhi's ally, at least keep up with his steps, be able to help him...

Help him...

Thinking of this, Vivian's Inner Heart couldn't help but feel Some Touch, and she also secretly sighed.

Too fast?

Although this is already the third loop, the second loop alone went through a full six thousand years...

Not just herself, he is the same too.

"That goes without saying. Perhaps we really have the Necessity to build our Goddess team; don't you think the large plaza in front of the Royal Palace, with only Ishtar and Ereshkigal's two Goddess Statues, looks very empty?"

Xia Zhi also Nodded, indicating he also believed this was indeed the current optimal choice.

In the past, his own Road was not replicable.

But now, another very high-rank Powerful Force can be directly shared, and has very considerable development Prospects.

What reason is there not to choose this?

"You want to build a girl group?" Vivian tilted her head, looking like she was confirming.

"Cough cough, it's building a Goddess team..." Xia Zhi Pulled his Mouth Corner, then corrected seriously.

"Then why limit it to Goddesses?" The girl's Gaze was bright, she pointed out a clear Flaw in this idea incisively.

"Just said it casually. After all, our two City Gods are both Goddesses right now, and that scheduled Kukulkan is also a Goddess..."

The youth wasn't guilty in the slightest, indicating he just called it that out of Habit.

"Actually it's nothing, Goddess is fine, if they can be of use..."

The girl didn't mind too much either, just lightly poked someone once, then stopped there.

She didn't dwell on those levels, but instead thought seriously as well: "Moreover, following the idea you just mentioned, Goddesses are indeed very Suitable; the primordial Earth Mother Goddess has many origins..."

"The derived different Divine Ranks have many commonalities between them, just right for them to overlap Authorities, improve Divine Power, quickly take the first step..."

Higher Composite Divinity.

The focus is not only "Higher", but also "Composite".

When someone named it, they were already implying what kind of Essence this fused new Divine Power should possess.

Composite Authorities, Composite Divine Ranks, Composite Divine Names...

Until all commonalities are obtained, raising the Divinity and Divine Core's rank to the Original Scripture Level, reaching an invulnerable state.

Only a Goddess who has completed this step can walk further.

"That's the logic. Then this project..."

The youth Nodded repeatedly, and incidentally proposed a Suggestion:

"——Let's call it 'True Goddess Reincarnation', how about that?"

"Doesn't sound good. Like some Bad Taste of yours..." Vivian said seriously, giving her evaluation.

"What do you mean Bad Taste..."

"Speaking of which, don't we have a more Suitable Goddess?" Ignoring Xia Zhi's Excuse, the girl Turned her Head again, looking out the window.

On the village Road outside, not far away.

A spirited girl in a high school uniform, hands on hips, looking full of Divine Aura and pride, was saying something to a few little Fairies.

Even in the rain she's not Willing to Quiet down...

Looking at those little Fairies, they were probably scared stiff by her, frozen in a daze.

"...... This one..."

Xia Zhi followed Vivian's Gaze, then Shook his Head:

"I think forget it. You can't be sure whether what gets strengthened is the 'Goddess' part of her."

If it really is that, it's still fine.

But if it's the 'Sickness' part that gets strengthened, that'll be a Headache...
