Chapter 1589: Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d
‘Who could’ve guessed that I would benefit so wildly. Not only did I subjugate Hailan, but I also got the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d. I knew there was more to her than met the eye, but surprisingly, she had an incredibly powerful item, something not even the Sovereign Lord ever got his hands on. With it, the G.o.d Legion Seal is really going to become something that can surpa.s.s the civilization of the G.o.ds.’
Yang Qi was back in his own empire, with Proud Heaven none the wiser.
Settling down cross-legged, Yang Qi drew on the destiny of his empire and locked it down completely. Up above, the black and white sun rotated, and while it had transformed from its original state, Yang Qi knew it could still function as a back door for the Sovereign Lord.
There were still some things about it that Yang Qi didn"t understand, but that said, he wasn’t overly anxious about it.
Now that he had the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d, he would be able to remove all traces of the Sovereign Lord from his empire. It was the key to opening the door that led to that profound civilization that surpa.s.sed that of the G.o.ds.
Yang Qi didn"t immediately attempt to integrate the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d into the G.o.d Legion Seal. Instead, he carefully extracted it, still sealed, and began carefully studying it. At a certain point, he fed a bit of energy into it, causing it to pulse. Inside, he could see the beginnings of a grand civilization.
He had never had the profundities of the G.o.ds laid out in front of him in this way. As he continued studying the soul, he saw the civilization of the G.o.ds developing in his mind’s eye.
History was playing out right in front of him. The elites of the past didn’t really have any idea how to advance their civilization, but the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d had opened the doors for them.
Yang Qi felt like he was mentally floating along the river of history, which of course gave him a much more profound understanding of the G.o.d Legion Seal. And as the will of the legion of G.o.ds percolated in his mind, his thinking became more profound and clear, and he saw, not just the past paths with utmost clarity, but also the path going forward.
Because he had devoured Wretch G.o.d Ultimate, his own will had occasionally been influenced by the Wretch G.o.d. But now, he sloughed off any such fetters, reaching a new acme of enlightenment.
‘Now, I’ll draw on the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d.’
Using the Wretched Brain G.o.d Art, he performed countless mental calculations, which he used to a.n.a.lyze all of the historical information from the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d. At that point, he realized that the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d really did have a soul in it.
Now, he was ready to integrate it into the G.o.d Legion Seal. As he did, he realized that he was creating the perfect trap for the Sovereign Lord. When the Sovereign Lord returned, and made his move on the G.o.d Legion Seal, he would meet a powerful backlash. It would be a perfect trump card for Yang Qi’s defense.
Furthermore, the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d would have a profoundly positive effect on the G.o.d Legion Seal.
After all, simply trying to a.s.similate the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d would be like killing the chicken to get the eggs.
Slam!
Something seemed to break inside the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d, and Yang Qi saw a huge door opening. In its depths were various types of G.o.dly civilizations, creating a sea of information that washed through his psyche, causing enormous transformations.
He was experiencing a baptism in regard to the civilizations of the G.o.ds, as well as the dao of G.o.ds.
He suddenly understood everything about the legion of G.o.ds. Matters of civilization, will, transformation, cultivation base, worlds, nations. He knew about the quintessence of the G.o.d civilization, and he knew how to make something superior to it.
“There never really was a G.o.d civilization,” Yang Qi said coolly. “There was the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d. It was what brought civilization. And previously, there was no way to surpa.s.s it. But I can.”
His psychic scale was continuing to grow, and was getting closer to reaching the level of a trillion.
Even in ancient times, no one had ever reached the level of a trillion, not even the Sovereign Lord.
As he gained further enlightenment of civilization, his sage monarch magistrates also transformed, with the G.o.d Legion Seal on their foreheads becoming more distinct. And they experienced inner changes, such as their hearts transforming into projections of jade.
That came from Yang Qi’s deeper and deeper enlightenment of the Mahātmā Jade, enabling him to create copies of it, just like he could with the G.o.d Legion Seal.
If people such as the King of G.o.dmammoths could see him right now, they would only be able to use one word to describe him: freakish. Not only could he ma.s.s-produce G.o.d Legion Seals, but he could also do the same with the Mahātmā Jade.
As this process went on, Yang Qi’s empire grew stronger.
Crunch. Crack!
As he grew stronger, the Everlasting Aegis expanded, and was able to absorb primal-chaos paleo-energy more quickly and in greater quant.i.ty. And as that happened, Yang Qi could sense the essence of the G.o.d world trembling, as if in pain.
It was similar to how if a person had a tick sucking their blood, they might not feel it. But if that tick transformed into a vampire bat, they would definitely find it unbearable.
RUMBLE!
All of a sudden, a faint tremor pa.s.sed through the G.o.d world, something that most ordinary people wouldn’t even feel. But Yang Qi knew that it meant the essence of the G.o.d world was reacting to the sudden growth of his empire.
The sage monarch magistrates were experts at their work and would quickly disseminate the new knowledge that Yang Qi had gained, giving it to the common people and fueling more growth.
Heaven and earth changed dramatically and constantly, and that meant the Sage Monarch Empire was constantly gaining new sages and mahātmās, whose thinking was profound and unparalleled under heaven.
‘Yang Voidprime, the time has come to bring you to me.’ A smile appeared on his face. ‘I’d originally hoped you’d end up blowing up. But I just made some significant progress, and I have no need to hide any longer. My empire is ready to bring about a new age.’
Yang Qi had been hiding in the shadows for too long.
Now that he had taken the Soul of the Ancestor G.o.d from Hailan, he had what he needed to take the next step. Although he wasn’t any stronger than before, he had the key to civilization, and deep enlightenment of the G.o.d Legion Seal. He was just on the verge of a psychic scale of a trillion, and could now ma.s.s-produce copies of the Mahātmā Jade.
Having been bolstered by the copies of the Mahātmā Jade and the G.o.d Legion Seal, his sage monarch magistrates were in an even better position to govern the empire and educate the ma.s.ses. And that made his empire grow even stronger.
The time was ripe to crush all obstacles blocking his forward progress.
And the first step in it all was to summon Yang Voidprime.
Only by getting the other half of the fateless energy he needed could he get his sage monarch magistrates to the level of G.o.d-Lords.
“Come to me! King of G.o.dmammoths, Demon Master, High Priestess, you people are useless to me. Weak trash that needs to be gotten rid of.”
Yang Qi rose to his feet and surged with fateless energy, then unleashed a fist strike.
Cracking sounds rang out as he pierced through the multiverse of the G.o.d world, sending an attack right into the middle of the Demonfolk Empire.
