Chapter 162: Fallen Mother Nest

The gray fog behind him dissipated along the place they had entered; this gray fog would serve as a supplement for the hidden space Jiang Xuan gave Klein, counting as Jiang Xuan's final gift to him, after all, he was now a gray fog creator, and hidden spaces were of little use to him.

"The Wall of Gray Fog will completely dissipate in one month; I hope you can all select the source quality you need before then!" Jiang Xuan looked at the eager gods behind him and blessed them.

"Thank you very much, Pillar!" The other true gods all bowed with clasped hands to thank him, Klein also bowed with clasped hands, only the Goddess of Night looked at Jiang Xuan with a complex gaze.

The gods all searched for source quality suited to themselves by feeling, only the Goddess of Night remained in place and did not rush to move.

"You're leaving?"

Jiang Xuan turned back and said as a matter of course: "If I don't leave, what else am I to do? Leave this bit of source quality for you all to fight over?"

"I mean, just like you suddenly appeared, are you suddenly going to disappear?" Although the Goddess of Night spoke in a question, her eyes carried certainty.

Jiang Xuan's stepping foot suddenly paused, slowly he withdrew and stood in place, looking at the Goddess of Night in confusion: "How do you know?"

Although she had already guessed the answer, upon hearing the other party ask her back, she was still somewhat lost in thought.

After a long while, she did not answer Jiang Xuan's question, but continued to ask back: "Will you come back?"

"Depends on the situation! Perhaps I will often return to see if the Main World still exists, whether it has been overturned by those Old Ones who are no longer a threat." Jiang Xuan raised his head to look at the slowly dissipating gray fog.

Although most of the time he spent in this world was used to receive and understand knowledge about rules, with only a small portion of time spent interacting with people, this world still left him with a deep impression.

Just like the gentlemanly demeanor of a beginner and the lady with quite an eye who sold only sixpence a loaf of bread.

But he still had a long road to walk; this place was like Wind and Cloud, in his memory its proportion would become smaller and smaller.

The Goddess of Night pressed her lips; she had known from the very beginning that the other party's transcendent aura was something she had never seen before, the other party might not be a person of this world.

"How can one reach your cultivation realm?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

"How can one reach your cultivation realm?"

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but complain in his heart: what cultivation realm had he reached? Traveling through the universe? That was the ability of the "Hongmeng Treasure Mirror" boss; if he had that ability, he would have taken off long ago.

Seeing the other party's gaze full of firm desire for knowledge, Jiang Xuan still couldn't bear to discourage them, after all, he had already seen what should and shouldn't be seen before.

Put it this way, he felt he owed the Goddess of Night more than what he had taken from Klein!

She was a goddess with tens of millions of believers!

A goddess with tens of millions of believers worshiping in the Main World who couldn't even see her true face!

Although it was because they feared being polluted that they couldn't see, but tell me, isn't it that they can't see!

He not only saw her true face, he even saw everything!

"Cough cough! This world is actually a twisted world of one person!" Jiang Xuan looked at the Goddess of Night.

Whether they were Sequence Nine cannon fodder, Sequence Zero true gods, or the Old Ones and Pillars standing at the peak, they were nothing more than inheriting a portion of the Original Creator's body, characteristics, and emotions!

They used the power left behind by the Creator to strengthen themselves, relying on rule characteristics to elevate themselves high above, while also permanently enduring the influence of the Creator's spirit and emotions, needing a huge number of believers as an anchor to stabilize themselves!

Although he was not a Buddhist cultivator or a true god cultivator, he knew that the karma and Faith Power cultivated by those great powers mainly served to strengthen themselves, rather than to stabilize themselves.

Jiang Xuan said everything he knew, looking at the Goddess of Night's increasingly complex gaze, and again took out a blank book from his bosom, on which was automatically written the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art that Jiang Xuan had slightly modified, handing it to her.

This world had no concept of physique, but Jiang Xuan felt that various characteristic materials counted as a kind of strange physique, also carrying rule energy, with high compatibility with this world.

"You merely grasped the use of rules like swallowing a date whole, and might even be able to touch the boundary of the Dao, but in the end it is not your own thing, and you will never truly break through that layer!"

Jiang Xuan pointed to the technique stuffed into the other party's hand: "This book can let the energy in your body truly be digested into your own thing, and can thereby gradually increase your strength! Plus, when you asked me before, I told you to cultivate with Klein's cultivation and god-refining methods; with both hands working together, it might let you make further progress on a high pole!"

Jiang Xuan said with great confidence, but he did not say that it was only to give her a tiny possibility of further breaking through the Dao realm and becoming a Quasi-Emperor!

As for how to cultivate to be able to travel freely between various universes, Jiang Xuan himself didn't know how to say?

This made him think of the middle-aged man in beach shorts who appeared out of thin air when he had a Micro World!

Who exactly was the other party?

The other party was obviously not a person of this world; in this universe, apart from the Main World, other worlds were basically occupied by evil gods, how could there be someone dressed like that, looking like they lived so comfortably.

The other party obviously sensed something; perhaps it was the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, or perhaps it was the Micro World's master recognition, breaking through the universe's limit to appear here, and then disappearing in an instant.

"With them, can we leave here and go to your world?" The Goddess of Night's clear voice interrupted Jiang Xuan's thoughts.

Hearing the other party's question, Jiang Xuan felt a toothache.

He himself traveled through the universe relying on the Treasure Mirror; how would he know if it was possible or not!

"Ten thousand li flying still has a road, do not worry about the four seas being full of wind and dust. Perhaps one day in the future, we can meet again!"

In the Goddess of Night's rippling gaze, Jiang Xuan's figure slowly dissipated in place; a wisp of cool breeze came casually, bringing a touch of pleasant coolness, taking away a wisp of sorrowful longing.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of the mysterious words Jiang Xuan suddenly said, she was sure he was explaining some great principle, and also told her that relying on these she could meet him again.

Withdrawing her gaze, the Goddess of Night strode toward outside the Wall of Gray Fog.

Klein was not in a hurry to search for suitable source quality, or rather, his original target was the Chaos Child's source quality; now he was brainwashing with the Wish-Granting Lamp, and seeing the Goddess of Night stride away to leave, he asked in confusion:

"Goddess? Why are you leaving? I think the Super Star Overlord's source quality is quite suitable for you!"

The Goddess of Night shook her head: "In the end it is merely an external object; I want to first walk out a new road!"

Watching the Goddess of Night walk out of the gray fog, Klein shook his head: "Strange and weird!"

Walking out of the Wall of Gray Fog, the Goddess of Night only felt she had gained new life!

Looking at the brand-new text, the Goddess of Night felt as if she was holding a New Generation Bible; if it were spread, it would surely change this world.

But this was a gift Jiang Xuan gave her, and also his trust in her; she absolutely could not spread the Bible.

With a mood of some expectation, the Goddess of Night slowly turned to the first page of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.

……

Klein looked at the Wish-Granting Lamp, and finally a smile appeared on his face; solving the Wish-Granting Lamp, next would be to smoothly fuse the source quality and officially step into the Old Ones!

Who could have thought that he had just broken through to True God, with few believers and no Divine Kingdom built, yet already reached the pinnacle of the Old Ones!

All this was thanks to the senior paving the way for him!

Especially with the support of the Refining Spirit technique, was he able, after escaping the consciousness erosion of the Venerable One, to so easily deal with the spiritual influence from the Original.

Just as Klein was rubbing his fists and palms preparing to fuse the source quality, he suddenly saw the Goddess of Night walk in again with a stern face, walking straight toward him.

"Goddess? How come you're back again?" Klein looked at the other party in puzzlement.

"Come with me!" A clear, cold voice rang out beside her ear.

"What? Wait for me to fuse with the Source Quality! The Source Quality has already agreed, it's just waiting for me to fuse with it!" Klein pointed at the dark gray mist core beside him.

"You don't need it! Jiang Xuan gave me something better!" The Goddess of Night shook the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Klein's head bobbed like a rattle drum: "Senior gave it to you, not me. I have no reason to learn it!"

Green waves circulated in the Goddess of Night's eyes, revealing a hint of embarrassed flush:

"I don't recognize the characters inside."

Before Klein could even think, his body was already being pushed outward by the Night Slaves the Goddess of Night had separated out!

"Don't! My Source Quality! I'm about to become an Old One!"

Klein did not resist fiercely. The Outer Gods were temporarily dead; these Source Qualities could be attempted to absorb at any time in the short term. But the thing Senior gave — if he didn't look at it now, he might truly never have the chance to see it later!

In fact, there were many ways to learn a new language, and for True Gods like them it was simplicity itself.

But the Goddess of Night still chose to let Klein participate. Besides the fact that she truly didn't recognize those characters, the most important reason was to use this excuse to let Klein follow along and learn as well.

They had all cultivated the Refining Spirit method, and they all knew how precious the Refining Spirit method was. They could imagine that anything Jiang Xuan casually took out would be something they had never seen before!

So Klein thus half-reluctantly, half-willingly followed the Goddess of Night away from the Wall of Gray Fog.

At this time Jiang Xuan had actually not left Mystery. He arrived instantly, via coordinates, at a stretch of starry sky ruled by the Fallen Mother Nest main body.

He had already known when the two were discussing him, but he had no objection to Klein learning. After all, to him it was just some trivial things casually taken out.

As for why he didn't give it to Klein, he could only say the crying child gets the milk.

Withdrawing his focus, Jiang Xuan looked up at the Fallen Mother Nest occupying half the starry sky. An extremely depraved, rotten aura occupied the entire sky. On a continent below, countless neither-human-nor-beast creatures were piled together stark naked.

Faintly visible were red eyes twisted in distortion; as long as they had a shred of strength they would thrust their lower bodies, and from below came corresponding twisted wailing cries.

One layer piled atop another!

Perhaps these creatures below were already dead, but they didn't care. They were all immersed in their own world.

Like a herd of... pig-like creatures!

Even though Jiang Xuan considered his heart already iron, seeing this scene still ignited a nameless fire within him!

Flames soared skyward. The Great Sun appeared suddenly like a falling sun, scorching these mindless walking corpses.

"Tsk tsk tsk! After seeing this scene, I'm afraid even the Phoenix Gallbladder Dragon Yang Porridge I just cooked would be too nauseating to eat!" That casual middle-aged man's voice came from the side.

This time the middle-aged man wore casual pajamas, his hair drooping as if just washed. The only thing unchanged was that eye-dazzling big gold chain.

"Never mind the rest. You said Phoenix Gallbladder Dragon Yang..."

"Oh! Of course they're all real deals!"

Jiang Xuan's face was full of black lines: "Even ignoring these walking corpses, porridge boiled with phoenix gallbladder and dragon yang — I'm afraid no one could stomach it. Can't you swap two other parts to boil porridge?"

"Hey! You actually doubt my Eighteen-Star Chef God skill? I'm the only Eighteen-Star Chef in the Chef God Universe! Back then I chopped... used culinary arts to defeat several Seventeen-Star Peak Chefs to obtain the Eighteen-Star certification!"

A glittering gold certificate appeared out of thin air in the middle-aged man's hand. On it was written:

Certified by unanimous vote of the Peak Chef God, congratulations to "I Am Not Chef God" for obtaining the Eighteen-Star Chef God title!

That glittering golden light emitted a tempting fragrance of soul resonance, making anyone who glanced at it drool and forget to return.

Jiang Xuan said no more. He turned his head to look at the black firelight gradually extinguishing below. All demons and monsters dissipated in the firelight. Perhaps this was their best destination.

"Did you even look! My Chef God skill is my pride! No one fails to be conquered by my culinary arts! Back then I made my name throughout the entire universe with a single hand of Egg Fried Rice!" The middle-aged man beside him pointed at his certificate, arguing.

The Fallen Mother Nest in the sky was now enraged! Her fields had actually been erased! This was severing her lifeline!

Endless silver-white powder spread in all directions. The Fallen Mother Goddess appeared at the Top of Nest, her eyes full of distortion as she looked at Jiang Xuan:

"This is my Divine Kingdom! Before, in your Divine Kingdom I couldn't beat you! But you actually dare come to my Divine Kingdom! Seeking death!"

"Noisy!" The middle-aged man beside him frowned and gave a light shout, waving his hand gently.

Jiang Xuan only felt the inspiration in his body frantically warning him of danger. Every hair stood on end instantly. Fear made him involuntarily narrow his eyes.

Under his gaze, the middle-aged man's hand was like a blackboard eraser. With just a gentle sway, the Fallen Mother Nest and the Fallen Mother Goddess were erased just like that.

Not destruction! Not space collapse.

Just pure erasure, without any form of fluctuation.

The Fallen Mother Goddess, including the Fallen-related Authorities, disappeared completely!

Inspiration gradually returned to normal. Jiang Xuan glanced at the boundless starry sky and sighed.

The Furnace Fire's rations were gone! That was an accumulation of who knows how much energy. It could have saved Jiang Xuan a lot of investment. Just like that, it was gone!

The middle-aged man withdrew his hand, as if he had done a trivial thing. Proudly he raised the hand that had been holding the Chef God Certificate: "My Egg Fried Rice is..."

"A hundred hearings are not equal to one sight. You might as well let me try your Egg Fried Rice. Then I'll know whether it's delicious or not!"

"Right! Wait for me!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. His figure instantly disappeared, still without any spatial fluctuation!
