Chapter 302: Leaving Jiang Shen Star

Within the Divine Kingdom, the instant Xiao Yu's avatar completed the mission, each avatar's sensitivity was instantly cut down by 999‑fold, leaving only one‑fold, and remained active.

In the Jiang Shen Mountain of the Primordial Universe, Xiao Yu has just finished forging four Top‑level Treasures, including one Top‑level Domain Treasure "Seven Killings Reverse Void Tower", two Top‑level Flying Palace Treasures "Azure Yellow Flowing Grace Ship" and "Transform Heaven Flow Sun Hall", and one Top‑level Sealing Treasure "Demon Locking Tower".

It takes on average 280 to 300 years to forge a Top‑level Rare Treasure, which cannot compare at all with the previous speed of roughly ten years per Top‑level Treasure.

Yet the speed is still far faster than Jiang Shen's.

When examined, it is still Xiao Yu's soul that is powerful, far stronger than the Lord of the Universe.

The soul of a perfect‑gene life is already strong, let alone Xiao Yu's Human True Body, which is 5,000 times stronger on that basis, and his soul has undergone another metamorphosis, turning from void to substance and becoming 200 times stronger.

By this calculation, ordinary True Gods might not even be stronger than Xiao Yu's soul.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu's soul is strong in quantity and sensitivity; otherwise, this body, though a perfect‑gene life, might not be able to endure it.

Time passes slowly; it has already been three thousand years since Xiao Yu's second batch forging of Top‑level Treasures.

It also possesses a warning ability: as soon as anyone harboring ill intent toward Xiao Yu enters within one light‑year, it will alert.

"Congratulations!" Jiang Shen suddenly appeared, congratulating: "From now on, you and I hold the same status within the Primordial Universe."

Three years later, Xiao Yu finally rose from the High‑grade Treasure Bed; this time he had a long dream, in which he returned to his previous life world, defeated the myriad races, uncovered the mastermind, and hung the mastermind on a phoenix tree, repeatedly whipping the corpse.

Xiao Yu's Divine Body shimmered with multicolored light, and then an avatar appeared beside him, identical to Xiao Yu's current appearance—the same avatar as before.

"Finally mastered," Xiao Yu placed a freshly forged Top‑level Domain Treasure, still in flames, into the World Ring.

"Inside this World Ring are the ten Top‑level Treasures I forged earlier; after a thousand years, you will deliver them to them in stages," Xiao Yu took out a World Ring, handed it to the avatar, and instructed.

"Alas, it was only a dream," Xiao Yu sighed lightly; it had been many years since he ever dreamed, let alone dreamed of his past life.

Beyond that, it has no other function.

"Understood. Am I not you? Our thoughts are linked; whenever you think, I know," the avatar Yan Sancai said.

Lying on a bed made from a High‑level Treasure that stretches over one hundred thousand kilometers, he quickly merged into the Treasure's internal world, then entered the dream.

"Ha ha, just don't blame me for stealing your job!" Xiao Yu laughed, his expression slightly weary.

People from the outside cannot detect any anomaly of this Treasure Bed; unless they destroy the Treasure, they cannot perceive the world inside it, and thus cannot harm Xiao Yu within that world.

"How could that be? When forging the Strongest Supreme Treasure we still have to help each other!" Jiang Shen whispered, "Sancai, go rest quickly."

Xiao Yu vanished into the endless flames, then reappeared inside a temple that belonged solely to him.

"Fine." Xiao Yu did not delay; after three thousand years of nonstop Treasure forging, he indeed felt some fatigue.

The scene was as exhilarating as it could be.

This High‑level Treasure Bed was a whimsical creation of Xiao Yu; its function is simple: it contains a world where those who enter can swiftly fall into a dream and quickly restore spirit, soul power, Divine Body, etc., while preventing all illusory effects and other negatives.

"Alright, then I will depart; you keep these tools and Treasures for now," Xiao Yu immediately handed another World Ring to the avatar Yan Sancai.

"System: strengthen avatar Yan Sancai's Divine Body," Xiao Yu thought silently.

【One hundred quadrillion Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

Lines of nine‑colored mysterious divine power surged into avatar Yan Sancai's body, rapidly strengthening Yan Sancai's Divine Body.

In a short moment, Yan Sancai's Divine Body was strengthened to be just like Xiao Yu's Divine Body.

【Wish has been fulfilled!】

"Ha ha, this feels great," Yan Sancai, clad in a Treasure identical to Xiao Yu's current Divine Body, held in his hand the Heavenly Origin Blade.

"Increase Yan Sancai's soul sensitivity by 2,000 times," Xiao Yu thought, and Yan Sancai's emanating aura and imposing pressure grew stronger.

"Leaving now," Xiao Yu immediately teleported away via Mo Yun Teng Divine Nation.

He departed carrying the precious materials enough to forge ninety Top‑level Rare Treasures.

Yan Sancai, just like Xiao Yu, entered the interior of Jiang Shen Mountain.

"Why not rest a bit longer," Jiang Shen said, his gaze sweeping to Yan Sancai, then suddenly asked, "You, you're not Yan Sancai! No, you are Yan Sancai, yet you differ slightly from Yan Sancai."

"Lao Shan, worthy of being a Top‑level Treasure Refining Master, you spotted the slightest difference," Yan Sancai laughed.

"You must be the avatar that Yan Sancai mentioned! It's just like a real person, not at all like an avatar," Jiang Shen praised, recalling something Xiao Yu said millennia ago.

"Sancai hasn't already left, has he? Why doesn't he even greet!" Jiang Shen said angrily.

"Lao Shan, aren't I Yan Sancai? We are essentially the same person, we never truly left, so why the greeting? I will trouble you again," Yan Sancai continued, "Don't find me annoying!"

"Ha ha, with you here, I feel much more at ease," Jiang Shen, still lacking confidence in forging the Strongest Supreme Treasure, said.

"Lao Shan, I have a secret to tell you, please don't get angry," Yan Sancai said cautiously.

After more than ten thousand years together, Jiang Shen had always treated him sincerely, yet he always presented a false façade, feeling a lingering sense of indebtedness.

"What secret? You aren't saying even this name is false, are you?" Jiang Shen said, already harboring some speculation.

"A name is just a title; there's no true or false. However, after I tell you this secret, don't spread it!" Yan Sancai transmitted.

"Your race can't be fake either, can it? That should be impossible," Jiang Shen kept guessing; altering one's appearance is something many races and powerful beings can do, but changing Soul Breath is only possible for the few who possess talents like replication or imprinting.

"Lao Shan, you truly are wise!" Yan Sancai nodded slightly, smiling as he transmitted, "My true self is a Human Race member."

"Damn! It really is so!" Jiang Shen pretended to be angry, extending a massive palm, "Watch me not kill you."

The two chased and fled within the endless flames. It was rather amusing; Yan Sancai wasn't truly fleeing, nor was Jiang Shen truly pursuing.

"Lao Shan, you really are something, I already told you, don't spread it!" Yan Sancai repeatedly reminded.

Yan Sancai stayed here, intending to borrow Jiang Shen's influence—in other words, to use Jiang Shen's IP.

Jiang Shen likewise understood Yan Sancai's motive, and he also had confidence in Yan Sancai; future forging of Strongest Supreme Treasures will still require Yan Sancai's effort.

Within the Primordial Universe, friendships among the strong, though sincere, inevitably involve mutual exploitation.
