62: Spirit Gods, Beast Gods and Winged Gods

“Heh, no wonder!” Su Wen stopped his blood essence from devouring the Spirit Realm.

He let the spiritual great orb, Apollo, begin its performance.

For Su Wen, controlling the Spirit Realm was more cost-effective than devouring it.

The Spirit Realm had conquered numerous worlds, and while most of them had been assimilated by the Spirit Realm, joining the path of spiritual sublimation, there were still countless remnants of races and civilizations within it.

It was an excellent way for Azure Star to observe the myriad worlds.

As for the Spirit Lord, he was courting death and could not be saved!

Everything proceeded smoothly; the spiritual great orb easily forced out the Spirit Lord's position.

In the Spirit Lord's terrified and despairing gaze, Apollo, the eldest legitimate son, inherited the position!

The fundamental reason for all this was that the Spirit Lord had been repeatedly destroyed by Su Wen, making his position unstable.

Moreover, with the Spirit Realm now facing a life-or-death crisis, the Spirit Realm's supreme, emotionless world consciousness instinctively protected itself by reselecting an heir.

Apollo was like a long-lost true young master, making a powerful return.

It was like the crooked-mouthed Dragon King getting a new job, or the son-in-law who stops pretending and reveals his true identity... Thirty thousand years of changing fortunes, the orb was poor... now truly clinging to a powerful patron.

Apollo clearly understood its position and didn't turn hostile after gaining power.

It not only offered up the Spirit Lord's last wisp of spirituality but also more obsequiously offered its own spiritual core to show its submission.

It knew who the true boss was.

Su Wen indifferently obliterated the last traces of the Spirit Lord's existence.

He had no intention of listening to his pleas for mercy.

Then he looked at the spiritual great orb, which was now behaving obediently.

Feeling its power greatly surge with the Spirit Realm's blessing,

Su Wen felt that this path of merging with heaven and earth, of controlling the authority of heaven and earth, was not a good cultivation method for deities in the myriad worlds.

There might be many heaven-and-earth deities above the myriad worlds, but most of them should only be powerful within their own realms; once outside their world, in the void, Su Wen felt that these world-dependent gods were pitifully weak.

“It seems that in the future, within worlds, I should support the martial path. Whether it's the Spirit Martial Dao or the Divine Martial Dao, both are better than this 'sublimated' path,” Su Wen mused inwardly.

The 'sublimated' path itself was a route that led one's being towards spiritual evolution, towards the ultimate Spirit God.

What Apollo said was indeed true; as Su Wen refined Apollo's core, Su Wen immediately became the master of this world.

Based on his inner feelings, Su Wen made the spiritual great orb, Apollo, change its form at will, affecting the entire Spirit Realm!

The Spirit Realm would also change its form accordingly.

The seven heavens of the Spirit Realm continuously shrunk and transformed in Su Wen's hand, finally taking on the appearance of a Golden-Hooped Staff.

Su Wen channeled his blood essence and casually brandished it a couple of times; it felt good.

Subsequently, the Xuanyuan Sword, Wind-Fire Wheels, Pangu Axe, Taiji Diagram... the spiritual great orb was kneaded and molded, changing its form.

And the spirituality of the Spirit Realm, according to Su Wen's imagination and the changes in the Spirit Realm, this spiritual divine weapon could even manifest some of the characteristics of these weapons from Su Wen's consciousness.

This greatly surprised Su Wen.

This was an unexpected bonus; in his mythical life, Su Wen didn't have a proper divine weapon, nor had he ever forged or refined an Emperor Weapon.

This was simply because he had never encountered an opponent.

Now, Apollo's potential was considerable, so he figured this spiritual divine weapon would serve him for a long time.

Boom!

Pop~

As Su Wen stood in the void, wielding the spiritual divine weapon and practicing Martial Universe, two majestic figures flew out from the two great realms that the Spirit Realm had once pierced through in the void.

One was like a four-armed giant ape, savage, wild, with a strong fighting aura, accompanied by roars of beasts, proclaiming its bravery and power to the myriad worlds.

The other had six wings behind it, like a Divine Being, radiating boundless light, possessing endless sharpness, accompanied by manifesting illusions: a history of winged people constantly evolving towards majestic light, continuously growing snow-white wings.

The Beast God Realm, Beast God! Emperor God Ape!

The Winged Human Realm, Winged God! Winged Angel!

Both were the main gods of great worlds with whom the Spirit Lord had opened world barriers in the void and waged war.

Their strength was considerable, only slightly inferior to the now-deceased Spirit Lord.

“Where is the Spirit Realm? Is that hateful, evil Spirit Lord dead?” The Beast God Emperor God Ape stared solemnly at where the Spirit Realm had once been.

That hateful Spirit Lord had somehow suddenly pierced through the world barrier.

He had spread spiritual radiance throughout the Beast God Realm, driving many beasts mad, causing them to slaughter each other, and many small invaders had entered his home, greatly enraging him.

The same was true for the Winged Human Realm.

Originally, the Winged Human Realm had the Winged God, Winged Angel, who had pioneered the Angelic Path.

Winged humans could continuously evolve, eventually becoming symbols of light.

But the wanton scattering of spirituality caused many winged humans to deviate from their evolutionary path, most eventually turning into terrifying monsters.

“Thank you, Your Excellency, for ridding us of a menace!” The Winged Angel bowed slightly.

Unlike the Beast God, the Winged Angel sensed a familiar aura from the constantly changing weapon in Su Wen's hand.

“No matter! Just fight me!” Su Wen calmly looked at the two suddenly appearing racial gods!

One a beast deity, one a winged human deity.

Su Wen was also very curious about their divine paths.

To take the strengths of a hundred schools and integrate them into one's own divinity can lead to the Great Dao!

With his mythical body, the talent of Martial Universe was also naturally activated.

Su Wen had long since released his transcendent perception but had not detected the simulated other self, the alternative body of the Martial God, in the void!

Su Wen was certain that the simulation had come true, and Emperor Ming was still active in the myriad worlds, but he couldn't pinpoint his location.

Perhaps the void was too vast, or perhaps there were other unknown reasons.

Su Wen's understanding of the myriad worlds and the void was still too limited.

The Heaven-Equal Staff swept across the army; before the two great gods of the two realms could respond, Su Wen charged forward.

The four-armed Emperor God Ape roared, unleashing the power of heaven and earth, the authority of law, the authority of weight, the law of suppression. Four fists struck out, attempting to block the majestic blow.

The Winged Angel radiated endless light, transforming into a symbol of purity. The authority of wings, the law of metal, six wings transformed into a cutting slash, resisting it.

Boom!

The void rippled. The Beast God and Winged God, working together, held their ground for a long time, finally resisting Su Wen's casual strike.

Both were utterly horrified!

This was not resisting it!

This was clearly the other party holding back.

The Emperor God Ape felt himself on the verge of exhaustion, and it was clear the Winged Angel beside him was in the same state.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing mercy!” The Emperor God Ape clasped his four hands, signaling his submission.

Su Wen was unconcerned; his goal was indeed not to truly fight these two.

The Spirit Lord, who was stronger than them, couldn't withstand a few pokes from Su Wen's fingers.

Let alone these two.

It was merely to apply pressure, to make these two release their inherent laws and authorities, to gauge their true strength.

Another reason was to make these two recognize the present situation in the coming years and know who was in charge.

As for what they would be in charge of?

Of course, it was the upcoming integration of the myriad realms and the shared prosperity of all races!

Because Su Wen had discovered a latent characteristic of Azure Star!

The characteristic of aggregating myriad realms!

Azure Star was quite remarkable; it actually actively enticed, or attracted, the worlds of the myriad heavens to aggregate towards it!

Su Wen discovered this after seeing the Beast God Realm and the Winged Human Realm.

As a native of Azure Star, and with his current majestic mythical power, Su Wen could vaguely sense Azure Star's pull on the two realms.

This piqued Su Wen's interest in the hidden secrets of Azure Star.

The Xuanwu Realm, with its complete yet hidden laws, was a fragment of the primordial original realm, containing the law-bubbles of the former original realm.

Now, Azure Star, where his original self resided, also actively attracted the myriad worlds of the heavens, bringing them together.

It had no extraordinary power, yet it was so special.

Su Wen didn't know if there were similar situations above the myriad heavens.

Su Wen was now increasingly curious about the brilliance and mystery of the myriad worlds in the void.

It was time to continue the mythical simulation of the myriad heavens!

Su Wen was very satisfied with this kind of 'sitting at home while myths come from the heavens' cheat.

The battle scene that Azure Star itself projected before all beings was actively cut off by Su Wen after he killed the Spirit Lord.

Now, Zhou Fan and others who knew the inside story probably understood that a doomsday catastrophe had passed.

Su Wen decided to transform the Spirit Realm into a trial world. The Spirit Realm would later orbit the star system where Azure Star was located, serving as a buffer zone for its integration with the worlds of the heavens.

In the future, it would serve as a battlefield for the myriad races of the heavens, guiding Azure Star to compete and integrate with all races, constantly growing stronger.

Within the Spirit Realm, there were still billions of spiritual races and numerous Spirit Gods that needed to be screened and purged.

Therefore, Su Wen did not directly state that the two realms should join or be subdued.

Today's military suppression meant that no further troubles would arise.

Su Wen waved his hand, dismissing the two, and then summoned Apollo to explain his requirements for the Spirit Realm's transformation.

Why do it himself when he had a great orb he could command?

Moreover, the Spirit Realm was Apollo's home ground.

It was very fitting to let him handle the arrangements for the Spirit Realm and its billions of spiritual races.
