He holds an ancient-style goat-horn demigod staff, his hair and beard bursting with silver-white holy radiance, a pair of vertical pupils, his cold demeanor awe-inspiring.

In the data Taku obtained, this Su·Carlos demigod is the teleportation guide.

"After the previous wave of massive consumption of primordial teleportation power, now that you enter the Divine Forbidden Land alone, your strength is certainly not that great, and your speed moving along the Divine Forbidden Corridor is somewhat slow."

The A'fei Elf Kingdom also uses various means, such as rituals and special terrain, to as much as possible avoid the Green Star Clan's powerful detection abilities.

Many eyes hidden in the shadows and darkness constantly scrutinize Taku's arrival, as if confirming his identity.

"Those Green Star Clan outside are pressing hard; I took a slight detour, which delayed me a bit," Taku explained.

The surroundings have a geological contour like an underground lava cave.

"Hmm, the Green Star Clan has indeed been increasing its troops lately."

As a stronghold altar that has been used for a while, its safety is still assured.

Soon after, Taku, accompanied by the aloof demigod Su·Carlos, arrived at the teleportation array that establishes a connection with the Divine Forbidden Land.

Although this demigod's tone is aloof, his words let Taku gain much information.

It seems he knows Taku has slain many Green Star Clan, so this aloof demigod before him does not overly concern himself with that.

Through passing through the altar ritual, this is still Taku's first time.

Gazing at these twisting void tentacles symbolizing death and calamity, Taku falls into thought.

Taku also surveys the surroundings with an unmoving expression.

Such similar omens of deathly aura once also permeated the surroundings of the Aruomof Demigod Kingdom.

The fierce defense battle of the Aruomof Demigod Kingdom remains vivid in Taku's memory to this day.

Moreover, it retains the same environmental ecology as the local geology and terrain, making it even harder to discover.

"If you had arrived a few days earlier, you could have gone together with several others and directly landed in several deeper, safer interior spots."

As the voice sounded, a demigod spellcaster clad in a dark robe slowly emerged from the darkness.

His aloof gaze swept up and down over Taku for a moment before he spoke indifferently.

Taku slightly bowed in salute.

"Come with me!"

A dim and oppressive realm hall.

Speaking, the cold old demigod vanished into the depths of darkness.

From within the pyramid altar, Taku dropped down and quickly steadied himself.

……

Upon reaching the teleportation array, Taku saw a bit of black deathly aura, like twisting tentacles swaying and writhing, as if trying to strangle all who enter.

During the passage, a cold voice devoid of any emotion continuously transmitted.

"Upon entering, if you can find treasures, seek them; if you cannot find treasures, forging your own demigod artifact in the outer Divine Forge region is also good."

"You are late by several days."

"Although the Divine Forbidden Land has many treasures, staying alive to get out is most important."

Standing up to a hundred meters tall, with some time having settled, the pyramid-shaped altar sits to one side.

"Fortunately, at present few people have entered, so you need not worry too much about encountering others while passing through the Divine Forbidden Corridor, but you should still keep some caution."

What Taku is doing now is using the ritual to guide a response, then entering the depths of special terrain.

"Hum!"

The teleportation array activated, turning into a strange stratum flowing light that swiftly proceeded deep into the Cosmic Mountain Range.

If the passage's context lies in the void outside the Cosmic Mountain Range, it would naturally be impossible to escape the Green Star Clan's detection.

However, the direction leading to the mysterious 【Divine Forbidden Land】 is deep within the deep-space realm of the Cosmic Mountain Range, under the protection of the Cosmic Mountain Range, so the Green Star Clan cannot probe it even if they try.

The spatial realm of the teleportation has an outer contour about the size of an ordinary person.

The internal space is sufficient to accommodate Taku sitting down.

"Following this context leads to the mysterious depths, which cannot be probed, but this context's trajectory appears very smooth and natural."

"All that remains is to quietly wait a few days until reaching the outer side of the Divine Forbidden Land."

"Hah……"

Taku lightly exhaled a breath, gradually relaxing his mind.

This time, Taku in the Afei Elf Nation, originally seeking shelter under the divine nation's power to cultivate, steadily rose above level 240, advancing to weak demigod.

However, during this period, he slightly displayed his abilities in the ancient god temple, and by chance a demigod took notice, intending to send him to that mysterious treasure land.

「Divine Fire Forge, Floating Island Star Nest, Ancient Source Glyph Stele……」

「These are all resources of that Divine Forbidden Land. 」

「It is obvious that the Divine Forbidden Land is the important place where the mysterious ancient civilization cultivates legendary powerhouses to advance to demigod. 」

「Divine Fire Forge can help me forge demigod artifacts, even divine artifacts. 」

「That's not really needed; the Ancient Chaos Continent possesses the ability to forge demigod artifacts, and even to forge wondrous forges and the God of Craftsmen. 」

Previously, Taku had not yet noticed how formidable that mysterious Forge and God of Craftsmen was.

But as he left the Ancient Chaos Continent and came into contact with many worlds outside.

Upon recalling the various methods of that Forge and God of Craftsmen from before.

Taku suddenly felt that the powerful Forge and God of Craftsmen was no ordinary deity.

「Besides the Divine Fire Forge, the Floating Island Star Nest possesses a nest‑breeding legendary trait; many legendary powerhouses, when their level is hard to raise, will try to enter the Floating Island Star Nest to increase their level. 」

「For me, this Floating Island Star Nest is a good place to go. 」

「Moreover, the Ancient Source Glyph Stele almost certainly hides some powerful divine spells. 」

「The Afei Elf Nation is not comparable to our human race. 」

「Within our human race, when relations are good, divine spells are still relatively easy to obtain. 」

「But in the outside world……」

With that thought, Taku lightly probed his palm and gently shook his head.

「Even though I have slain many Green Star Tribe members and earned considerable merit, those elf powerhouses still pay no heed. 」

「The barriers between different sequence civilizations are inherently enormous; it's just that the Green Star Tribe's dominance masks the conflicts between those civilizations! 」

「It's like the mechanical civilization now honestly hiding in the exotic black mist, silently developing, lying low without a sound. 」

「Once the Green Star Tribe collapses, whether it's those mechanical clans or these elf clans. 」

「They will surely swarm onto the Green Star Tribe and feast heartily. 」

「So, this time the elf demigod Lei Qiao, since he uses me to help him obtain resources for ascending to deity. 」

「Then…… I must seize this opportunity and exert my utmost effort to enhance my strength. 」

「After all…… the chance to enter such a Divine Forbidden Land occurs only this once. 」

He took a deep breath, gradually suppressing these thoughts.

He rubbed the Forgetting God Ring on his wrist.

As he advanced to level 220, several powerful divine spells also improved, and his grasp of the mighty Star Mark power became ever more proficient.

Taku, possessing formidable combat power at the weak demigod level, naturally need not fear the various powerful beings of all races entering the Divine Forbidden Land.

Even if they come from various main worlds, and even from the super legendary powerhouses of various sequence civilizations.

Several days later.

Slightly fragmented traces remained, but the transmit layer‑domain framework was extremely stable; the transmit layer‑domain power swiftly entered the Divine Forbidden Land wrapped in strong and mysterious power.

Yet this layer‑domain transmit power was clearly not the power Taku had previously used for transmission.

Upon entering the Divine Forbidden Land, Taku's slightly weakened legendary consciousness swiftly scanned the surrounding several thousand kilometers.

After confirming safety, Taku then landed upon a bluish‑black mountain peak.

「Cough cough cough……」

Just after landing, Taku's face showed a hint of pain as he began to cough heavily.

Lifting the Star Curtain Mage Robe, two shocking tearing wounds pierced Taku's Legendary Star Physique chest.

Under the scorching blaze of the Star Physique, the contaminated portions trickled down like molten lava.

Fortunately, the overall condition was merely some loss of the Legendary; basking a while in the Steam‑Chaos Star Core Blazing Sun would restore it.

And the opponent who inflicted such wounds on Taku was naturally reduced on the spot to ashes, even his bone dust scattered.

Through the layer‑domain projection power, Taku was in the process of entering the Divine Forbidden Land.

Taku's layer‑domain projection power was relatively weak, making his transit speed a bit slow; if no one else were at this juncture, it wouldn't be a problem.

Quite unfortunately, while in transit, Taku collided with a legendary powerhouse of the Wind Bite Tribe.

The Wind Bite Tribe also fully dominated their home world as a powerful clan.

Face like a leopard, form like a bird, wings on the back, voice like a bite!

This is the morphological trait of the Wind Bite Tribe.

Having encountered them, if the other side does not attack Taku, the two would simply pass each other, exchanging a glance.

As it turned out, the mid‑level legendary Wind Bite Tribe member at level 256, relying on his high rank, directly launched an attack on Taku.

Facing such a fellow, Taku was naturally not accustomed to it.

His fate, just as Taku wished, was to have his ashes scattered in the transit winds, making a loud roar.

「I have a fairly handy 【Demigod Light Shield】 and a decent Demigod Mage Robe; their defensive power is astonishing, so that Divine Power Scroll can't do much to me. 」

「Still, the Legendary State Star Physique is reliable; the 185‑fold amplification of the lower Chaos Legend's defense is already astonishing. 」

「It will only become more astonishing from now on. 」

Setting aside the Star Curtain Mage Robe, Taku looked around.

The surrounding mountains overlapping ordinary peaks showed no great difference.

Only far off a few peaks rose higher, their snow‑capped summits towering above the clouds.

「The ecology here is utterly unlike that of where I was before, and with injuries on me, I should first find a spot to recuperate, and incidentally…… transform the local ecology's steam a bit to see the effect. 」

The cloud layers and mist over there make a pretty good hiding spot.

Hmm... we still need to have the necessary precautions.

Immediately, Taku released a legendary star‑phantom curtain, letting it fly off in a direction.

Apart from not being Taku, this star‑phantom curtain matches him exactly in aura, source energy, life pulse, legendary traits, and even a hint of divinity.

Taku has prepared quite a few of these star‑phantom substitutes.

After doing all that, Taku gathered his thoughts, concealed his tracks, and slipped away silently.

One or two hours after Taku left.

Two legendary Wind‑Bite tribe experts arrived in this area.

One mid‑rank Wind‑Bite tribe legendary expert sniffed around in the air, trying to find traces of their clanspeople.

The other, however, spoke coldly.

The news of his death has already reached us; do you still expect that guy to rise from the dead?

The white four‑winged mid‑rank legendary Wind‑Bite tribe expert who was trying to search remained unmoved; after repeatedly sniffing, he finally stopped.

This direction!

The white‑winged Wind‑Bite tribe legendary expert pointed in a direction.

He's fast, but we can catch up.

Hehe... that guy is the ruined villager Taku Lamor who killed many Green‑Star tribe experts deep in the mountains; are you sure you want to hunt him down?

Although Tavia is somewhat weaker than us, killing him is still absolutely not easy.

The purple‑winged Wind‑Bite tribe legendary expert said coldly.

He's injured.

The white‑winged Wind‑Bite tribe legendary expert said lightly.

This Taku is a formidable opponent, and the Green‑Star tribe's bounty on him is terrifyingly high—this is a perfect chance to eliminate him.

Killing Taku would be no less than reaping a great treasure here.

To be frank, that Taku is a moving treasure.

The purple‑winged Wind‑Bite tribe legendary expert pondered for a moment, then spoke coldly.

Chase!

Two figures swiftly hurried away.

A week's time flew by swiftly.

Inside the Steam·Magical Cottage on the leeward rock wall of the Snow Peak.

Wuu wuu wuu...

The faint steam rumbling was muffled by the Steam·Magical Cottage.

Even a slight diffusion was drowned out by the howl of the natural wind sweeping over the mountain ridge.

Mixed with wind, snow, and mist, the steam source energy continuously diffused and blossomed.

And the steam ecosystem has silently taken root in this world layer.

Besides carrying out ecological circulation, there is also the origin circulation.

Taku also invested a portion of steam‑mechanical lifeforms in the area at the mountain's base.

Entering a completely new area, planting his own steam ecosystem has become part of Taku's steam‑ecosystem habit.

Even though this is a forbidden divine zone, it does not delay Taku from expanding his steam ecosystem here.

Inhale... exhale...

The seated Taku felt a slight interaction with the obscure, profound origin of the forbidden divine zone, and his mind eased a little.

As long as the origin interaction is completed.

Then Taku is equivalent to donning the outer garment of protection from the steam origin.

As long as he is not affected, discovering Taku is basically impossible.

In his thoughts, Taku looked toward a direction through the magical window of the magical cottage.

Yesterday, my steam star‑phantom was killed—two Wind‑Bite tribe members, one white‑winged and one purple‑winged.

The attack was decisive and ruthless, and the strength was quite formidable.

Now my injuries have fully recovered, so I naturally have no fear of these two bird‑people.

Even if these two join forces, it's somewhat troublesome, after all, both are top‑tier experts possessing weak demigod strength.

Moreover, there are many strong people here; once a fight breaks out, it will inevitably attract much attention.

Once the Green‑Star tribe sets its sights on you, it becomes troublesome.

First, release several more legendary star‑phantom curtains to disturb their scouting.

If the opportunity arises, take them out one by one; being able to fight one‑on‑one naturally means you don't need to take on two at once.

Meanwhile...

Taku drew a deep breath, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a fierce light flickered faintly.

Release the projection, seek the floating star nest.

The floating star nest is not stable; it shifts every so often.

If anyone else were to seek this floating star nest, the difficulty would be extremely high, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

For me, the origin power of this powerful ecosystem, though obscure and heavy, is extremely hard to resonate with.

But, in the end, there is still some resonance.

I have already roughly locked onto the area's direction.

It's not a big problem to spend some time and locate that floating star nest.

By utilizing that floating star nest, increasing one's level by five or six, even up to seven or eight, poses no problem.

As for me...

Ta Ke lightly probed his palm.

The floating star nest drives the precipitation of the legendary trait's ecological foundation.

As for myself, I can pour source energy experience into it to accelerate leveling.

A single floating star nest can boost one's level by over ten levels, possibly even twenty.

Reaching level 240 here makes one a mid-tier legendary; once you leave, you truly become a genuine weak demigod.

However... in the past few days, those passing through here have included not only those two birdfolk, but also the Green Star tribe, and even two light giants.

The sheer size of those two- to three-thousand-meter tall figures, seen from afar, is indeed somewhat terrifying!

After all, I'm only a hundred meters tall!

Upon entering this treasure land, one naturally needs to first seek treasures rather than engage in meaningless combat.

But in the process of searching for treasure, combat is unavoidable.

In his thoughts.

Ta Ke projected himself into the distance, beginning a deep investigation and search of that position's extremely concealed 【Floating Star Nest】.
