Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 412: Principles of the Ruins, Doomsday Land (II)

Under the profound comprehension of the epiphany state, the Thunder Emperor’s consciousness and thoughts became incredibly swift, filled with flashes of insight, and everything in the world seemed simplified in its view. Even the spine it was refining appeared infinitely magnified.

Incomplete rune sequence chains swirled, rotated, and intertwined before its eyes. Each incomplete sequence chain contained faint traces of Gigantification, Shockwave, Defense, and Strength.

In the epiphany state, the Thunder Emperor rapidly isolated the sequences related to Gigantification, combining them until a rune began to form from nothing.

Burning attribute energy to enter the epiphany state didn’t enhance the Thunder Emperor’s thinking process, but rather created a sort of atmosphere of epiphany. When that atmosphere dissipated, the Thunder Emperor’s consciousness would return to normal.

Because they shared the same primary consciousness, Chen Chu’s main body had to control its thoughts, to avoid overclocking them and consuming the comprehension energy.

With nothing else to do, Chen Chu’s attention returned to the evolution of his colossal beast avatar.

Such evolution followed a consistent pattern. The first evolution broke the biological limit of the six-horned salamander. The second evolution broke the transcendent boundary, turning it into a low-level mutated beast.

The third evolution was a breakthrough to level 4, transforming it from a low-level transcendent creature into a middle-level mutated beast, and the fourth evolution was a similar breakthrough to level 7, making it high-level.

The fifth evolution would reach the peak of level 9, breaking through from a high-level transcendent creature to a mythical-level colossal beast.

Just as Chen Chu's mind was partly immersed in the epiphany state, two powerful auras suddenly erupted from the base of Passage One in the distance, appearing above everyone’s heads in an instant.

Boom! Boom!

The atmosphere trembled, the winds howled, and the clouds swirled, forming a vortex that covered over a dozen kilometers. Two figures slowly emerged from its center.

Instantly, the terrifying pressure of kings descended from the sky, causing everyone’s breath to catch. Their expressions turned solemn as they respectfully spoke.

"Greetings, Your Majesties."

Among the two kings, one appeared to be a young man in his twenties, his expression stern as he stood with his hands behind his back.

The other, a middle-aged man, smiled warmly and said, "There’s no need for formalities. The ruins are about to descend, so I’ll briefly explain the rules for this exploration.

"First, killing fellow humans for treasure is strictly prohibited. You are all geniuses of the human race; your blades should be pointed at external enemies, not at each other. Therefore, regardless of who it is, anyone who kills a fellow human will be executed by me the moment they exit the ruins."

As he said this, a cold killing intent flashed across the middle-aged man's face, causing a chill to run down everyone's spine. As kings who had risen through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they were all decisive in killing.

After withdrawing his killing intent, the middle-aged man continued. "Second, the resources, inheritances, and world essence obtained within the ruins belong to you individually. The Federation will not interfere.

"However, any texts, basic runes, or well-preserved books containing special powers that you acquire must be copied to aid the Federation in its research of ancient civilizations.

"With the rules explained, I’ll now briefly introduce the ruins. This is a continent that was forcibly uprooted by ancient powerhouses and cast into the void to preserve their heritage and civilization.

"But their enemies were powerful and even pursued them into the void continent. A catastrophic battle ensued, and everything was destroyed."

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, a genius from North Lin couldn’t help but exclaim, "To uproot an entire continent and cast it into the void—how terrifying were the powerhouses of ancient civilizations!"

The others also showed expressions of astonishment. After all, it was an entire continental plate.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly. "No need to be surprised. It’s just tossing a continental plate into the void. A few of the top-ranking council members can do the same.

"Alright, back to the main topic. As a place of inheritance, the principles of the Void Continent are still in effect. Every few decades, it will approach the Blue Planet. However, most of the areas have been eroded by the void, making them extremely dangerous. Only a thousand-kilometer radius in the central region is considered safe.

"We call the central area the Oasis. It’s relatively safe, similar to the outside world, and there are some ancient buildings and ruins that have survived under the protection of certain forces.

"Beyond the Oasis, in the ruins, many monsters lurk. These are the result of the ancient civilization’s humans, transcendent creatures, and invading enemies being mutated by void energy.

"These void monsters vary in strength, but the weakest still possess the power of the Fifth Heavenly Realm. The deeper you go into the ruins, the more monsters you’ll encounter, and the stronger they will be.

"Now that I’ve introduced the ruins, let’s discuss how to unlock the path to divinity.

"Perhaps due to the aftermath of that great battle, the principles of inheritance in the ruins have changed. You need to kill a large number of void monsters and absorb a certain kind of energy before the path to divinity will appear.

"Each time you kill a void monster, a special thread of Purple Spirit will wrap around you. This is your credential to enter the path to divinity.

"The more Purple Spirit that wraps around you, the further ahead your starting point will be when the path to divinity appears. It’s even possible to receive an origin reward immediately upon entering.

"Each origin is extremely precious. With just ten origins, one can cross from the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Realm to become a king in a single step."

At this, many people couldn’t help but breathe heavily. Such a direct opportunity to obtain a large amount of world origin was extremely rare.

It was well-known that many peak Ninth Heavenly Realm experts had met all the requirements for a breakthrough, but due to a lack of origin, they had been stuck at the peak for years without advancing.

Noticing the fervent gazes below, the middle-aged man smiled slightly. "I must remind you that you need to accumulate a certain amount of Purple Spirit before you can enter the path to divinity."

A young man from the West Meng camp politely asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, how much Purple Spirit is required to enter the path to divinity? How is it precisely calculated?"

"Don’t worry, we’ve prepared for this. This is a special secret treasure obtained from the ruins, the Eye of the Sky.

"Each of you will input a thread of your aura into it. The Eye of the Sky will split off a phantom sub-eye, and through this, you’ll be able to precisely determine the amount of Purple Spirit you’ve accumulated.

"In addition, with the conversion of the main body of the Eye of the Sky, those of you entering the ruins will be able to communicate and share information with the outside world through your sub-eye."

As he spoke, a ten-meter-diameter white eye with a golden pupil slowly appeared before the middle-aged man and floated down from the sky with him.

"Alright, one by one."

"I’ll go first." Ji Wuji, dressed in a white robe, excitedly stepped forward and placed his hand on the giant glass-like eyeball, sending a surge of true power into it. A small eye the size of a fist silently split off and floated in front of him.

"This is the sub-eye?" Ji Wuji curiously reached out to catch it.

"The sub-eye is formed from your true power and is connected to your strength, so it can be attached to your smart watches and summoned when needed. Next."

Soon, the people from the southern battlefield were next—Xia Youhui, Li Hao...

When it was Chen Chu’s turn, he also inputted his true power, quickly splitting off a sub-eye, and immediately felt a faint connection with it.

This was normal. After the Fourth Heavenly Realm, cultivators needed to integrate their will with their true power. By the Sixth Heavenly Realm, when their true power transformed into flame, will and true power were almost one, with every bit of true power containing the spiritual will of the cultivator.

Once everyone had been allocated a sub-eye, Xie Chen, the king who had been explaining everything, spoke slowly. "Remember, when the sky turns white and a long river appears, that signifies the path to divinity is about to open.

"But whether you can obtain the world origin upon entering the path to divinity, and how much you get, depends on whether you can pass the trials.

"The trials of the path to divinity are divided into three types: personal comprehension, exceptional combat strength beyond your realm, and the most special—your soul."

In the West Meng camp, Gabriella asked with curiosity, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, how is the soul tested?"

Xie Chen shook his head. "I don’t know, either. Only the First Councilor reached the depth of soul testing back then. But don’t worry about this. Very few people here can reach that depth. You’ll naturally understand when the time comes.

"Alright, you have ten minutes to prepare. After that, King Yongning and I will join forces to tear open the passage and send you in."
