Chapter 54: Target Acquired

Above the Underworld, a metallic lifeform is leisurely flying toward the direction of the Undead Sacred Mountain, while Shawn stays inside, watching the various scenery outside;

Although searching for the Primordial God Core is urgent for Shawn, in reality it doesn't lack this bit of time;

According to his estimate, that Primordial God Core has been buried in that plane for an unknown number of ten‑trillion years;

In the Pan‑Dragon World, because of the immense span of time, many records have been broken, including calendar years; even the Primordial God's army gradually destroys or abandons such ancient data, and there is simply too much, making preservation impossible;

Divine Plane paper may survive for hundreds of millions of years, but that span is still insufficient for an eternally long‑lived god; it is impossible to copy all previous records every few hundred million years, and the workload grows larger in later stages until it becomes unfinishable.

However, a plane war occurs once every ten‑trillion years, making it a very suitable temporal marker, and another marker is the Supreme God mission.

According to the original text, the Lin Lei era has already seen eighty to ninety thousand ten‑trillion‑year plane wars, and the Supreme God mission has reached its seventh occurrence; roughly estimating, if each Supreme God mission is equally spaced, it should happen about once every 150 million trillion years.

That length of time is incomparable to one's own travel, rendering any comparison meaningless;

"I hope that Primordial God Core is still in that material plane!"

Shawn puts down the book in his hands, feeling a worry in his heart;

With a Primordial God's magical array placed on the material plane, in theory only if this plane spawns another Primordial God could that Primordial God Core be retrieved;

He is currently unsure whether other Primordial Gods know of this; if they do, there is still a method: find an independent ascended god on this plane, refine the Primordial God Core, and then extract this dead Primordial God Core;

Of course, this carries great risk; if the one refining the Primordial God Core never emerges, the Primordial God performing the operation would lose a Primordial God Core, and every Primordial God Core is exceptionally noble; currently it is unknown which Primordial God still holds extra cores, making this approach unlikely.

Alternatively, whether the Primordial God's magical array can still endure after countless ten‑trillion years is also an unknown.

Everything has variables, which also makes him a bit worried.

Half a year later, Shawn rushed to the Undead Sacred Mountain and also found a camp nearby; relying on the Primordial God Token in his hand, he met the camp's commander, a Seven‑Star Demon named Kulen.

"Lord Shawn, at last," Kulen said excitedly.

Not to mention a Seven‑Star Demon, even an Asura rarely gets to see a Great Perfection; Shawn, as a newly born Great Perfection, may not care much about this, which could be an opportunity for many.

"Kulen? Is that right?" Shawn said, "I plan to tour various material planes; arrange it for me, I want to meet those who have divine avatars as custodians on the material planes."

Kulen hesitated, probing, "Lord Shawn, the number of material planes we are responsible for alone reaches hundreds of millions, each with a custodian we dispatched;

If all of them came over, it would be too many; perhaps you could specify some requirements, such as which kind of planes you wish to visit, and I can filter and select a subset to come over."

A Great Perfection's request should not set conditions, but there are too many people to meet.

Shawn asked, "Where are those people?"

Kulen replied, "Most are within the camp; although we do not prioritize material plane matters, we generally keep them in a safe environment;

However, it is not mandatory; they are free to leave if they wish, and some are currently carrying out other Divine Plane missions or are on leave."

"So some of them are right here in the camp?" Shawn asked again.

The camp he is in now spans a huge area, about one hundred thousand li in radius, and the god‑tier beings inside number in the tens of billions.

Kulen said, "Yes, to the northeast of our camp there is a Purple Orchid Camp, where the god‑tier residents are the divine avatars of many material‑plane custodians."

"Alright, have each of them write down the information of their respective planes," Shawn said, not refusing Kulen's offer.

Kulen exclaimed happily, "Very well, I will arrange it right away."

"Also, I may stay here for a while; arrange an independent environment for me," Shawn added.

Kulen readily agreed, "No problem. About 300 li north of here lies a beautiful lake where Lord Shawn can reside."

"Fine," Shawn nodded.

A few days later, a huge batch of data arrived; Shawn paid it little mind, glanced at it, and indeed some material‑plane scenery was quite nice;

But his purpose was not to tour, so that night Shawn quietly slipped into the Purple Orchid Camp, taking advantage of some god‑tier beings in seclusion or rest; at lightning speed he first cast a bewildering spell, then swiftly queried the status of the masters whose divine avatars reside on those material planes, checking for any dark‑aligned upper‑level gods;

With Shawn's Great Perfection power, most of these plane custodians are mid‑tier deities, and during the brief bewilderment they could not detect anything.

"No—no! No~~~~"

Shawn tediously queried memory one by one; not every god‑tier rests, and when they don't, Shawn usually refrains from acting; even with hundreds of millions gathered, although god‑tier masters may not need rest, at any given time many do.

If there truly is no one to check, Shawn can also rest, since his time is infinite.

Thus, after ten thousand years, Shawn opened his eyes, altered his appearance, went straight to a plane teleportation array, tossed a spatial ring, and said, "Teleport, to the material plane."

"Yes, sir," the soldier checked the wealth inside the ring, confirmed it was fine, and immediately activated the teleportation array.

In the following tens of thousands of years, Shawn shuttled back and forth between the Underworld and multiple material planes; whenever a plane was found to host a dark upper‑level god, he would go personally, not only from the Undead Sacred Mountain but also from the Nether Sea.

After largely completing the Underworld search, he immediately went to Hell; although he knew the planes managed by the Underworld also contained many that slipped through the net, the priority then was to screen the majority first.

Hell has seven teleportation arrays, and it is not Underworld territory; he could only stay low‑key within the army, investigating one by one, and could not control whether Hell's Primordial God would notice him—anyway, being discovered would not be a big issue.

Beyond Hell lies the Realm of the Life God.

After several hundred thousand years, Shawn came from a water‑type Divine Plane to a location plane of the continent called Xia; upon arrival, his divine consciousness scattered, and he discovered a dark upper‑level god whose entire body exuded an angelic aura.
