"Are you planning to go to Blue Star?" Emperor Bai hesitated upon hearing Gu Jinlai’s words. However, considering that it is the place where the primordial layout is located, going to Blue Star might awaken Gu Jinlai’s memory and reveal the truth of his past arrangements, he found it hard to stop him. "If you really intend to leave Fire Cloud Palace... you might consider concealing your identity..." Gu Jinlai rejected this suggestion. Seeing his attitude, Emperor Bai refrained from insisting. Every Great Power has their own personality. "Although the outside world believes you possess only the combat power of a top-tier Immortal Venerable, with some even considering you as a mere ordinary Immortal Venerable who can unleash top-tier power only by relying on techniques of reincarnated Great Powers, we know your cultivation has reached the realm of Great Immortal Venerable. With the power of the Great Immortal Venerable and the Supreme Immortal Device Taiyi Sword, even if a Great Power intervenes, you could hold your ground until reinforcements from our Human Clan arrive." Emperor Bai said, extending his hand as a ripple spread out, revealing a flying boat on his palm. "This is the True Void Divine Ship, a supreme treasure intimately connected with the Immortal Immortal Realm. If you encounter danger, you can rely on this ship to protect your Divine Sense and flee into the Immortal Immortal Realm, ensuring your mind remains intact." "Flee into the Immortal Immortal Realm!?" Gu Jinlai was taken aback: "Isn’t the Immortal Immortal Realm..." "An imaginary realm?" Emperor Bai smiled and said: "If it were merely an imaginary realm, it couldn’t be one of the foundations of our Human Clan." He briefly introduced, "The Immortal Immortal Realm is crafted from Cosmic Oddities acquired by a few Great Powers like Primordial and Creation who ventured near the Cosmic Core. Anyone, through its gate-like True Void Divine Ship, can ensure their mind’s immortality in the face of danger!" Gu Jinlai listened, somewhat surprised. For cultivators, though the body is more crucial than a Divine Spirit’s Divine Body, as long as the form remains, the destruction of the body has few consequences. It’s merely the loss of Immortal Immortal Instruments, Supreme Immortal Artifacts, and various collections. In other words, with this True Void Divine Ship, unless one is powerful enough to pursue into the Immortal Immortal Realm and withstand the suppression by nineteen Great Powers stationed with Divine Sense Ability, the cultivator effectively retreats safely once inside. And apart from the mysterious Daoist Ancestor, there exists no such terrifying master in the cosmos who could challenge all nineteen of the Human Clan’s Great Powers single-handedly. Even Supreme Powers lack this capability. "Of course, deploying the True Void Divine Ship takes time, and you must be wary of certain Strange Objects targeting Divine Sense Ability... But given your cultivation, even if a Great Power strikes personally, they can’t render you completely powerless. Moreover, there’s an agreement among cosmos species that Great Powers should not leave the depths of the Heart of the Cosmic without critical matters; while the binding force of this agreement isn’t that strong, we of the Human Clan have specialists monitoring the activities of Great Powers from various species. If any irregularities are detected, you will be informed immediately." Gu Jinlai nodded, "Thank you." "No need to thank me. Your early memory awakening and return to the Peak of Annihilation would be the greatest gratitude to me and the entire Human Clan." Emperor Bai sighed, "You know the Evil Gods refuse to stay confined to the Heart of the Cosmic, eager to break free and degrade the entire cosmos, evolving to unimaginable power levels. They’ve even allied with the Divine Spirits, and some foolish species secretly collaborate with them." His expression was grave as he exhaled, "With the cosmic battle imminent, we desperately need your strength." Gu Jinlai knew he sought the original power, not him. "I understand, I’ll recover soon enough." Subsequently, Gu Jinlai arranged affairs concerning Evergreen Hall and set off alone towards Blue Star without taking anyone. He didn’t hide his trail along the way. During reincarnation, while a Great Power hasn’t regained their full strength, it’s easy for adversaries to hunt them down. This process often spans several thousands of years, even tens of thousands. Many Great Powers, upon memory awakening, hide within pre-arranged secret locations, practicing diligently until they’ve fully restored their strength before re-emerging. And their method of re-emergence is simple! Reveal themselves directly, drawing the adversarial Great Powers to confront them. When the adversaries realize they can’t defeat them, or can defeat but would pay an unbearable price, these Great Powers naturally pass through their vulnerable period, continuing to stand atop the cosmos’ peak for several tens of millions, even billions of years. Gu Jinlai harbors a similar thought. With hundreds of thousands of Qingguang, coupled with the Supreme Immortal Device Taiyi Sword, he could maintain Great Power combat strength for several months, enough to announce his complete return to the world. Of course, he wouldn’t be overly ostentatious. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥 He continues his original travel style. "Blue Star... could possibly contain the primordial layout, but the primordial being remains a true Great Power. If his layout contains a trigger for memory awakening, with only a Fifteenth Rank Divine Sense Ability, I’ll be undoubtedly passive. Therefore... if I could elevate my Divine Sense Ability to the Sixteenth Rank with Qing Lian’s help before uncovering Blue Star’s secrets, even if primordial resurfaces, I could at least preserve my personality." He had already considered, if Primordial truly wanted to replace him... He had prepared himself mentally for splitting his own essence. Just like how the Evil God split off the Divine Calamity. He would separate himself, even if it meant abandoning Qing Lian, Taiyi Sword, and other things, he would not hesitate. Even though Qing Lian, Taiyi Sword, each was a Supreme Treasure coveted by countless people, Qing Lian especially was suspected to be of Creation Divine Artifact level, possessing it could forge a Supreme Power, but if it meant losing his personality for these, he would rather give them up. "To rapidly cultivate to the realm of Great Power... hope still rests with the Divine Race." Gu Jinlai’s eyes narrowed. It was time to breach the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, leveraging its accumulation to impact the realm of Great Power. Ten Thousand Gods Realm. Because of the Ashen Star Domain incident, the Ten Thousand Gods Realm had been turbulent for a time. However, things did not go as the God Emperor Yongyang and others had imagined, where the Ten Thousand Gods Realm would lose people’s hearts and become nominally extinct. On the contrary, more Divine Spirits joined the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, causing it to grow rapidly. This outcome surprised even Yongyang and those at the top like the Divine Emperors. "Death and fear are the fastest ways to unite a species." At this time, several Divine Emperors were gathered together, talking and laughing. "Divine Emperor Zong Li, if I remember correctly, during this period more than ten Divine Spirits have reached out wanting to express their desire to become your subordinate god, right?" One Divine Emperor said. "Aren’t you the same, Yellow Sky? The number of Divine Spirits in your Divine System’s basic pool exceeds forty, and with such power, you probably already have the capability to suppress an Immortal Venerable head-on." The Divine Emperor known as Zong Li responded. "It’s merely suppression, the Divine Sense Ability of an Immortal Venerable is too tenacious and flexible, and completely wiping them out would take a long time, and during this period, there will surely be experts coming to their aid. Against many with few, we can only watch as they flee far away." Yellow Sky God Emperor remarked with some sentiment. "Then shorten the time! The reason it takes so long to thoroughly annihilate an Immortal Venerable is that our Divine System isn’t large enough. If the Divine Spirits in our Divine System numbered in the hundreds, or even thousands, annihilating an Immortal Venerable would be effortless." Another one joined the conversation: "Previously, Divine Spirits didn’t dare to construct excessively large Divine Systems because it was easy to be targeted when the numbers grow, leading to dozens or even hundreds of Immortal Venerables besieging them. But soon, the situation will change; the Ancient God breaking out of the Cosmic Heart has absorbed the attention of all Great Powers and Immortal Venerables. By then, we Divine Spirits can stand under the sun, forming Divine Systems of thousands or even ten thousand gods!" His expression carried yearning and excitement: "I can hardly imagine what kind of massive power a Divine System composed of ten thousand Divine Spirits could wield! I think we might even be able to stand against the Great Powers of all species!" The God Emperor Yongyang, who was also part of the exchange circle, listened to the conversation of several Divine Emperors, his expression slightly complex. Each of these Divine Emperors had received dozens, at least more than ten Divine Spirits’ allegiance, willing to become their subordinate gods, and those who had shown interest but were still considering, numbered in the hundreds. Clearly one of the founders and initiators of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, the most famous and powerful Divine Emperor! Initially, there were over a dozen Divine Emperors willing to serve him, and hundreds of Divine Spirits, but now... Only a dozen were left, and none were willing to become his subordinate gods. Compared to other Divine Emperors who received subordinate gods easily, he didn’t even have a few strong subordinates; the disparity was evident. The main reason for this result was the Ashen Star Domain incident. His improper handling of the Ashen Star Domain incident led to the fall of thousands of Divine Spirits, causing the Divine Spirits of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to avoid him, seeing him as an unlucky god of the realm. Even though his subordinate Divine Spirits perished entirely in this incident, he received no sympathy. Yet, he really had no choice but to swallow this bitterness. As he listened to these Divine Emperors chatting and looking forward to the future, the depression in his heart was imaginable. As he listened, the God Emperor seemed to suddenly sense something and suddenly opened his eyes: "How bold, daring to come to my Ten Thousand Gods Realm!?" Under the somewhat stunned gazes of the other Divine Emperors, God Emperor Yongyang flickered into existence directly in the plaza of the Ten Thousand Gods Realm. And in this plaza, Gu Jinlai appeared as Divine Calamity Yuan Miao, silently sensing something. The vast Divine Will mixed with unstoppable anger stormed against Gu Jinlai’s Divine Sense. Such degree of Divine Will was, to him now, like a gentle breeze, insignificant. He didn’t even lift his head, continuing to concentrate on sensing something. "Yuan Miao, I thought you had discarded the Divine Origin Plate, but you dare to use it, truly seeking your own demise." God Emperor Yongyang’s Divine Will was filled with storm-like oppression. At this moment, Gu Jinlai finally sensed something, and said, "Indeed, just as I had speculated, any Divine Spirit who enters the Ten Thousand Gods Realm will leave a mark; with high-level authority of the realm, one can sense and track that Divine Spirit’s location through this trace." His gaze swept over the surrounding Divine Spirits who were attracted by the presence of God Emperor Yongyang, and he smiled slightly: "So, as long as I can control the Ten Thousand Gods Realm, I can grasp the positions of all Divine Spirits."
