“Lil Ai, analyze the Venerable Spacetime God for me.”
Chu Kuangren uttered in silence. Every information about the Venerable Spacetime God soon appeared in his mind.
“Master, I have good news.”
The Omniscient Spirit, Lil Ai suddenly said.
“Oh, let’s hear it.”
“According to my analysis, the Venerable Spacetime God’s divine fragment contains a large amount of spacetime energy. If Master were to use his divine fragment to reopen the river of time, you would not need to be a Great Daoist Celestial,” Lil Ai explained slowly.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Ha! That sure is a surprise.”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze became more playful as he looked at the Venerable Spacetime God.
The Venerable Spacetime God shuddered out of nowhere.
He suddenly felt as if he was a prey that was being eyed by a predator. A huge and inexplicable sense of threat rose from within him.
However, he suppressed that strange feeling.
“Cang, the war between you and us, gods, has just begun. We will make you pay for this in the future,” the Venerable Spacetime God said.
Then, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. That technique he used was very similar to Chu Kuangren’s Spatial Conveyor Skill.
“Hmph. Running so soon after saying those words? Interesting.”
He did not intend to chase after them either. He had come out victorious in this battle, but he had also depleted a huge chunk of his mind power reserves.
If the fight continued, he might not be able to hold on for long.
Although the gods might be aware of this, they still did not dare to continue fighting. That was because none of the Venerable Gods knew how many more of them Chu Kuangren could take down before he was completely exhausted.
Chu Kuangren exited his Dao Convergence state.
After that, he picked up the divine fragments on the ground.
When he was back at the tribe, Yan Wu, Feng Gu, Greenie, and the others walked to him. Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren with a deep sense of admiration in their eyes.
“Saint Cang, you’re amazing.”
“Exactly. There were so many Venerable Gods. Yet, you still managed to send all of them running with their tails between their legs. This kind of power is unique to you alone.”
“That’s right. You’re just too powerful.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled at everyone’s praises. “As long as you guys work hard in your cultivation, you’ll surely become like me one day.”
“Really?”
“I hope you’re not lying to us, Saint Cang.”
“Yes! We, humans, are born weak. Even the young of those wild beasts are several times stronger than us. Knowing how weak we are, can we really become as strong as you, Saint Cang?”
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren with a hopeful gaze.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren replied honestly, “You guys are right. We, humans, are weak when we are born. However, we have fought and survived until this point because we are weak. It is exactly because we are born with nothing that we deserve everything. That’s why I believe we have the potential to become anything we want.”
“I’m glad that you guys understand that we are weak. However, your willingness to admit and acknowledge your weakness paves the way for all of you to attain greatness. We might be weak, but we are born to defeat the strong!”
“The gods are not as scary as they seem, and there is nothing for the weak to fear. As long as we humans work together and unite, we shall stand at the precipice of greatness in the Firmament Star, spreading the glory of the human race all over this wonderful planet!”
Having seen Chu Kuangren’s stalwart demeanor taking down the gods, none of the other humans dared to doubt his speech.
Along with the Phantasmal Seven Emotions Tune he had secretly used to rouse everyone’s emotions, everyone was soon filled with hope as they looked towards the future.
Chu Kuangren’s words have planted a strong seed in their hearts. That seed was only waiting to be watered and would take root and sprout in the future.
“We shall spread the glory of the human race all over the world!”
Yan Wu cheered.
“Glory to the humans all over the world!”
“Glory to the humans all over the world!”
The morale of the whole Flame Bulwark Tribe was boosted to an all-time high. Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren, and a strong belief started to form within their hearts. They would spend their whole lives chasing after this goal.
Chu Kuangren looked at Yan Wu and the others, secretly giving himself a high-five for that great speech he made earlier. It seemed like he was quite talented in public speaking.
…
Chu Kuangren returned to his room.
He took out the divine fragments he had obtained from killing several Venerable Gods.
There were a total of six divine fragments.
Those were the divine fragments of the Venerable Titan God, Venerable Storm God, Venerable Fire God, Venerable Ice God, Venerable Earth God, and Underworld God respectively.
The death of six Venerable Gods would not impact the other gods that much.
Then again, those Venerable Gods were not truly dead either.
After tens of thousands of years later, they would be reborn once again at the Godly Mountain. That was the most troublesome thing about them.
Chu Kuangren asked Lil Ai to analyze the divine fragments and found out that besides containing a huge amount of energy, each of them possessed the corresponding elements of their owner.
“Hey, this contains a soul attribute.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes suddenly lit up as he picked up the Underworld God’s divine fragment.
An immeasurable amount of soul energy was contained within the Underworld God’s divine fragment. It would greatly benefit the cultivation progress of his Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement.
He then kept the other divine fragments and started refining the Underworld God’s divine fragment.
Although this body of his was not well-versed in cultivation, refining soul energy did not require a physical body. A powerful soul was all it needed. Besides, whose soul could possibly be stronger than him in the Firmament Star now?
Time went by.
Chu Kuangren took almost a month to fully refine the Underworld God’s divine fragment.
That bundle of soul flame inside him, which represented the Hell Soul, gradually grew stronger due to the Underworld God’s divine fragment. Finally, it condensed and turned into the Hell Soul.
With his Hell Soul formed, Chu Kuangren’s soul energy gained a tremendous increase.
“Since the Hell Soul has only just formed, it still needs more progress before reaching an Expert stage. If only I had another of the Underworld God’s divine fragments.”
Chu Kuangren’s Heaven Soul mumbled.
“The Underworld God is dead. Who knows how long it will take until he’s reborn from the Godly Mountain?” the Hell Soul replied.
“No hurries. Besides the Underworld God’s divine fragment, there are quite a lot of items that can strengthen one’s soul energy in this world too.” The Heaven Soul chuckled.
Both the Heaven Soul and Hell Soul then returned into Chu Kuangren’s body.
Chu Kuangren stretched out and said, “Roulette, single roll.”
“Congratulations, Host. You’ve obtained a Legendary-grade Formation Master’s Inheritance.”
‘Legendary-grade Formation Master’s Inheritance, huh? Not bad.’
He had already taught the human race about pill refinement and weaponsmithing. He wondered if they could pick it up fast enough if he taught them formations now.
Besides that, he was very proficient in runes too.
After pondering, Chu Kuangren felt that it would be better to do it after some time.
It was better not to be hasty, after all.
As soon as he came out of his room, he scanned the whole Flame Bulwark Tribe using his Emperor Thought to see if anything had happened recently. It had become his habit by now.
From that, he found there were many new visitors in the tribe. They were not humans but wild beasts instead.
There were Manticores, Bull Demons, Scarlet Panthers, and so on.
Chu Kuangren was very curious about this.
‘Why are these wild beasts here at the Flame Bulwark Tribe?’
He then found Yan Wu.
After talking to him, Chu Kuangren got extremely surprised. “You’re saying they’re here to ally with us?”
“That’s right.” Yan Wu nodded. “Besides the wild beasts, the other human tribes are seeking to ally with us too.”
Since the Flame Bulwark Tribe had defeated the Star Destruction Tribe, they had become the strongest human tribe among all others. Coupled with Chu Kuangren, who had combat strength that could kill the gods, many had come to play up to them.
“I’ll leave this matter to you then.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
He had unconsciously taken the tone of a superior.
Yan Wu did not feel uncomfortable with it either. Although he was still the Flame Bulwark Tribe’s leader by name, Chu Kuangren had taken the role of the tribe’s leader long ago.
He had no complaints. After all, Chu Kuangren’s achievements and combat strength were much greater than his.
Yan Wu was even considering abdicating his position and letting Saint Cang take over.
