420: body

"Is this the First Generation?"

Ascension Nine of the Calamity Mercenary Group had an ugly expression.

The Ascension Six Squad simply couldn't kill him.

It was like he had cheats enabled.

"This is fucking ridiculous!"

"He's really hard to kill!"

"The First Generation's emergence aligns with the heavens' will, so he's naturally hard to kill!"

"Stop shouting, hard to kill or not, we still have to kill him!"

"Right, otherwise, if the Yao Race grows stronger and all their operations overlap with ours, what then?"

"Send out more elite squads---"

"Could it be that we..."

"Are you stupid? Would we even get a chance to act?"

Hearing this, everyone became restless.

Indeed.

Ascension Nine had no chance.

Because someone would be on guard.

But sending squads out like this felt like feeding him experience.

Moreover, what was even more frustrating was...

That First Generation...

After slaughtering the Ascension Six Squad...

Actually disappeared.

That is to say---

He hid away.

Holy shit.

Do you have to be this cautious?

So what do we do now?

We can only wait!

After grinding some time with the Yao Race, he should appear.

Everyone is smart; some unwritten rules will naturally emerge.

---

"Back?"

Zhang Huai looked curiously at Ye Su, who had entered the spatial rift.

"Mm, sending a signal, establishing an unwritten rule."

Ye Su said;

"Every five days, I'll appear once."

"First, to give the Calamity Mercenary Group a chance for revenge."

"Second, because I appear regularly, the intensity of the war won't escalate further, preventing the Yao Race from being truly ground to dust."

"After all, it's about dragging along warmongers like the Cosmos, keeping them too busy to interfere with the Yanhuang Clan's development."

"Not to help the Yao Race become a Peak Great Clan."

Whether the Yao Race can rise depends on whether Hu Gang can successfully break through to the Sovereign Realm.

If he can.

Then the Yao Race can succeed.

And their Aura will surge.

With a Sovereign above and the First Generation below.

It would be a textbook example of a rising power.

If not.

Then it's walking a tightrope.

Ye Su, this fake Yao Race First Generation, must display extraordinary talent and strength every time he appears.

Otherwise, the Yao Race's morale will plummet!

"You've already reached Ascension Five and have the Ascension Technique."

Zhang Huai said;

"What else do you need to do after this?"

Ye Su shrugged.

Come on, what comes next is even harder.

Because he needed to find a path.

Order Ascension Five consumes lifespan.

Ye Su had clearly felt it.

Order was assimilating him.

This feeling was faint, but it was there.

And during cultivation, this feeling grew even stronger.

You inherit the power of Order's rules, and you must bear its consequences.

"Order has issues."

Ye Su said directly;

"I need to find a way to forge my own path."

"The heavens' will doesn't give me much time to reach the Sovereign Realm."

Every thought.

Every cultivation session.

Every breakthrough.

Even every moment.

Order would erode, corroding Ye Su's Divine Soul, trying to melt it away.

That is to say.

Now, every moment for Ye Su was consuming his lifespan!

Perhaps this was the price of power.

Of course, the benefits of consuming lifespan were terrifying.

Acting on behalf of the heavens, wielding the heavens' will.

Killing enemies above your level was effortless.

The Five Fundamental Rules were the foundation of everything.

Lock the foundation, alter the foundation.

Everything you built high above would collapse instantly.

Only high-level Ascenders could rely on their heavens' will intensity and concentration, standing firm in the Void Realm to ensure their Dao fruits remained intact.

Others---

Were all doomed!

"A path---isn't so easy to forge."

Zhang Huai said.

"Mm!"

Ye Su nodded.

He knew.

Currently, there was one direction.

That was to accelerate the Yanhuang Clan's development.

Population base could rely on reviving races.

Strong individuals weren't a big issue either.

The pheromone network's Heavenly Human Realm, his own experience, and vast resources.

Ascension Five wouldn't be an obstacle.

Rolling like a snowball, development would be extremely rapid.

And once it reached a certain level.

Ye Su would have confidence.

After all.

The path to Sovereign was closely tied to the strength of the population.

This was why Hu Gang insisted on unifying the Yao Race to reclaim the position of Yao Race co-ruler.

Ye Su would nurture the Yanhuang Clan.

And once the Yanhuang Clan grew strong enough, it would nurture him in return.

To see if he could break through to the Sovereign Realm before Order completely eroded him.

Once he reached Sovereign.

He wouldn't be corroded anymore.

After all, he could directly leave this timeline.

Could this world's Order still control me?

Another.

More extreme and risky.

Was the Divine Path.

The Golden Crow Clan would demonstrate it later, no need to panic.

Ye Su really didn't want to write letters to future generations.

What could be solved in this lifetime, he'd try to solve.

"Zhang Huai, is there still a martial Legacy in the Calamity Chaos?"

Ye Su asked.

The Heavenly Waterfall Realm, also the Martial God Realm in the cataclysm system.

It couldn't stagnate.

"Yes, but it's not suitable for you anymore."

Zhang Huai said;

"And this timeline is very important; after the Supreme Expert left, it was taken away."

"Unless---"

"Unless what?"

"You change timelines!"

"Forget it then."

Ye Su said.

In the eyes of the Supreme Expert, he was no longer the Protagonist.

Perhaps Zhang Huai had a way to let him change timelines.

But once you entered that main timeline chosen by the Supreme Expert, it would be dangerous.

They could see through you with a glance.

After all, you were abandoned; if you rushed over to compete for resources with their chosen Protagonist, the Supreme Expert wouldn't hold back.

"Then you'll have to comprehend it yourself."

Zhang Huai said;

"Actually, I can sense you're being eroded by Order."

"If that day truly comes, I'll take you to the Calamity Chaos, and you can rely on the calamity battle armor."

"Perhaps you can walk the sequence path again."

Ye Su didn't respond.

Because it was meaningless.

sequence was the path of previous eras.

No matter how you walked it, you couldn't reach great heights.

It was just lingering on.

"There are many things to do."

Ye Su said;

"I'll tackle them one by one."

"First, open the martial path beyond the Heavenly Waterfall Realm."

"With the chance to spar with the Calamity Mercenary Group every five days, all fights against higher levels, maybe martial development can progress faster!"

"Alright then."

Zhang Huai nodded.

Afterward.

In the spatial rift, Ye Su sat cross-legged.

His consciousness linked to the pheromone network.

A small group gathering first.

Summarize information, then see if anyone had questions.

"I'm going into seclusion; the plan will proceed as is. Does anyone have issues?"

Ye Su asked.

"I do."

Vivian said;

"Ye Su, the Spirit Race's Myriad Spirit Sea is starting to stir. Interested in exploring it?"

"Just send your consciousness in; I hear the benefits are huge."

Ye Su was stunned.

He Luo immediately linked up and projected the Myriad Spirit Sea.

The Spirit Race.

A Peak Great Clan in the Cosmos that produces Spirit Stones.

Although Spirit Stones are nurtured from their bodies, there are also Spirit Stone mines outside.

Once, the Spirit Race debated which type of Spirit Stone was more orthodox.

But the result was surprising.

That was---

Whether Spirit Stones nurtured from the Spirit Race themselves or from Spirit Stone mines.

They.

Were the same!

Yes, they were the same!

Thus.

A terrifying guess emerged.

That was;

The Cosmos is a giant Spirit Race Husk!
