504: The Way of the God King
As for how Balota obtained this scale, it's quite easy to explain.
After all, Balota has some unspeakable connection with the Star Devouring Behemoth, so it's perfectly normal for him to carry a scale from a Star Devouring Behemoth.
In fact, this scale might even be a treasure gifted by the Star Devouring Behemoth to Balota, intended for dealing with Lin Tianwei.
After all, relying solely on Balota's strength, upon seeing Lin Tianwei casually kill two peak Universe Masters, he would have no choice but to flee without any other recourse.
It's just that Balota was far too unfortunate; under Lin Tianwei's silent invasion, he lost control of his body early on.
He possessed a super weapon like the Star Devouring Behemoth's scale, yet he didn't even get a chance to use it.
Not only that, but this scale also became Lin Tianwei's spoils of war, truly a colossal loss.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei secretly clicked his tongue. He had just arrived and hadn't done anything, yet so many God-Kings were targeting him.
It seems being too outstanding is not good for a tiger, otherwise, it's easy to attract the envy of other Cosmic Beasts.
Fortunately, Lin Tianwei's strength was also at an extreme state, an extreme state on the verge of breaking through to the God-King realm.
As long as Lin Tianwei continued to work hard, successfully comprehended the method to advance to God-King, and broke through to the God-King realm, these God-Kings would no longer be a threat in his eyes. At that time, the sky would be vast and the sea wide, allowing him to roam freely, how unconstrained!
Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly stopped on the nearest uninhabited planet.
Although continuing to conquer and earn merit points was important, studying the Way of the God-King was equally urgent.
With a thought, the Burning Sky Fire Seed, which had already been imprisoned, instantly appeared on Lin Tianwei's body.
Any treasure that could enhance Lin Tianwei's comprehension of the Way of the God-King was extremely important and could provide great help to Lin Tianwei when breaking through to God-King.
With a thought, a heart of the heavenly sea appeared before Lin Tianwei.
Although the heart of the heavenly sea had no attack power, it was also a product of God-King power and could give Lin Tianwei some inspiration.
Without hesitation, through the cage constructed by the Law of Annihilation, Lin Tianwei first observed the Burning Sky Fire Seed.
This fire seed was now just a tiny, sickly flame, occasionally trembling twice, showing no sign of its former aggressive demeanor before Lin Tianwei.
As Lin Tianwei's Mental Power probed, the Burning Sky Fire Seed seemed to be activated, becoming incredibly excited, as if it had seen some delicious food.
And that was exactly the case; Lin Tianwei's Mental Power hadn't even gathered much information before it was completely devoured by the Burning Sky Fire Seed as if it were food.
The Burning Sky Fire Seed, having devoured a portion of Lin Tianwei's Mental Power, seemed to have grown slightly stronger and become more vibrant.
The Burning Sky Fire Seed was also full of spirituality. The moment it grew stronger, it began to test the Annihilation Cage that held it captive.
If the power of the Annihilation Cage was insufficient to continue imprisoning the Burning Sky Fire Seed, it would break through the cage's blockade, see the light of day again, and burn out another forbidden zone.
If any unlucky Cosmic Beasts appeared within the Burning Sky Fire Seed's devouring range, they would undoubtedly be burned to ashes.
However, the Burning Sky Fire Seed's probing was destined to be in vain.
How could Lin Tianwei be careless with it and give it a chance to escape?
Even though the Burning Sky Fire Seed quickly compressed itself into a single point, attempting to minimize the Annihilation Cage's influence on itself through this method,
it still couldn't break through this cage composed of countless Laws of Annihilation. In the end, it stopped just as it was about to be completely annihilated, and obediently returned to the center of the cage.
The Burning Sky Fire Seed being so spiritual, reacting almost like a living creature, surprised Lin Tianwei a little.
However, these were not his concerns. What he truly cared about was the secret of the Burning Sky Fire Seed's creation,
and the secret of the Way of the God-King.
Unfortunately, the Burning Sky Fire Seed devoured Mental Power too quickly, and Lin Tianwei couldn't gather much information, only knowing that the Burning Sky Fire Seed contained a large amount of fire law.
Fortunately,
with the nourishment of countless cyber souls, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power could be considered endless.
Even if he could only explore a small piece of information about the Burning Sky Fire Seed at a time, Lin Tianwei could observe the entire Burning Sky Fire Seed with his endless Mental Power.
This was destined to be a lengthy process, but it didn't matter. Lin Tianwei had enough perseverance and willpower to unravel the secrets within the Burning Sky Fire Seed in one fell swoop... Just as Lin Tianwei had begun to explore the Way of the God-King, the Chaos Universe Alliance once again convened a meeting.
The theme of this meeting was still Lin Tianwei, this powerful and mysterious Cosmic Beast from the Origin Universe.
Lin Tianwei had already proven with his strength that he was definitely not a Cosmic Beast that could be underestimated.
Even Lahe, equipped with the Burning Sky Fire Seed, had been annihilated by Lin Tianwei. The fate of other Universe Masters who encountered Lin Tianwei was imaginable.
This meeting was not at all intense; in fact, it could be described as concise and clear, completely opposite to previous Chaos Universe Alliance meetings.
And how could it not be completely opposite?
Before knowing Lin Tianwei's true strength, they were confident they could solve the super trouble that was Lin Tianwei, so the discussions were naturally heated, even generating hundreds of plans to deal with Lin Tianwei in an instant.
However, after learning Lin Tianwei's true strength,
after realizing that this mysterious Cosmic Beast, though not yet a God-King, was already invincible at his realm and not an opponent they could deal with,
they finally completely gave up, losing the will to contend with Lin Tianwei.
Flee, hide, avoid, investigate!
These four words were the methods discussed by the Chaos Universe Alliance to deal with Lin Tianwei.
Since they couldn't defeat him, they could only flee, dodge, and avoid to minimize the potential damage Lin Tianwei could cause.
Once the Novice Village Killer's whereabouts were discovered, they were to immediately abandon the Novice Village and flee, saving as many Cosmic Beasts as possible.
It's hard to imagine that this was an order the Chaos Universe Alliance could issue, showing just how desperate they were.
Finally, as if feeling that such an order was somewhat embarrassing for the Chaos Universe Alliance, Fritz spoke:
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Although this mysterious Cosmic Beast is very strong, his mistake lies in offending people he shouldn't have offended and killing people he shouldn't have killed."
"After killing Lahe, he had already offended Blazing Sky God-King. Not to mention, Balota was also one of the few powerhouses of the Mech Clan, so Mechanical God-King might also have plans to stand up for him."
"So, we must run, we must hide, we must avoid, but we cannot do nothing."
"Gathering intelligence and feeding it back to Blazing Sky God-King and Mechanical God-King is what we should do."
"At that time, we won't even need to make a move; this mysterious Cosmic Beast will be annihilated into dust under the wrath of a God-King."
"This mysterious Cosmic Beast is strong, but he is equally foolish."
"To dare offend a God-King, he truly has a lot of guts."
"That's good. His initiative offending a God-King saves us the trouble of plotting against him."
"Everyone, remember to do a good job with intelligence. Whether we can eliminate this mysterious Cosmic Beast depends on how well our intelligence work is done."
At this point, Fritz murmured, "It's strange. A God-King can fully know the past and future, so why would he still need us to provide intelligence on this mysterious Cosmic Beast?"
"It's truly peculiar."
"Perhaps this mysterious Cosmic Beast is not worth a God-King going to great lengths, expending divine power to peer into the past and future."
"Well, we just need to do what we need to do. This mysterious Cosmic Beast can be left to the God-Kings to deal with."
As the discussion ended, the method for dealing with Lin Tianwei was finally settled. It's just unknown whether the God-Kings, in whom they placed such high hopes, could directly eliminate Lin Tianwei... In the Alien Battlefield, Origin Universe faction.
Heavensea God-King was somewhat stunned by Lin Tianwei's surging merit points.
Although these merit points didn't seem very valuable in his eyes, it would be impossible for an ordinary Cosmic Beast to earn so many merit points, even if they spent several lifetimes.
What happened? Could it be that Lin Tianwei wiped out several Chaos Universe races in the Alien Battlefield? Otherwise, it would be impossible to earn so many merit points in such a short time.
Thinking of this, Heavensea God-King subconsciously checked Lin Tianwei's merit acquisition records.
As the giver of the conscription token, and being a God-King of the Origin Universe faction himself, Heavensea God-King naturally possessed extremely high authority.
Of course, he wasn't doing that to monitor Lin Tianwei's actions; he simply wanted to know what excellent performance this Cosmic Beast, in whom he placed great hope and who was the first to clear the Law Arena, would have in the Alien Battlefield.
However, it was this check that stunned Heavensea God-King.
Even as a God-King, Heavensea God-King couldn't help but be shocked by Lin Tianwei's impressive battle record.
Especially the last two items, continuously killing Balota and Lahe, which was an unimaginable difficulty.
Achieving these feats might be easy for a God-King, but for a Cosmic Beast like Lin Tianwei, who hadn't even reached the Universe Master realm, it was almost impossible.
Perhaps this was a Cosmic Beast capable of creating miracles, just as he had done in the Law Arena. His appearance would completely change the dynamics of the Alien Battlefield.
Thinking of this, Heavensea God-King instantly became eager. He hadn't expected his unintentional action to lead to such a significant breakthrough in the Alien Battlefield's situation.
Perhaps if Lin Tianwei was allowed to develop, the Origin Universe could achieve ultimate victory in this cosmic war.
However, the intelligence he subsequently received made Heavensea God-King frown. It concerned the identities of Lahe and Balota, both killed by Lin Tianwei – they were Cosmic Beasts with God-Kings backing them!
Although Lin Tianwei's achievements were incredibly impressive, if a God-King wanted to make a move, they could easily eliminate Lin Tianwei.
How could Heavensea God-King stand by and watch Lin Tianwei, this hard-won genius of the Origin Universe, be eliminated by a Chaos Universe God-King?
So, he immediately sent a message to Lin Tianwei, stating that he could provide protection for him.
While he had no reason to act against the Chaos Universe, he did have a reason to protect Lin Tianwei.
In this situation, although Lin Tianwei could no longer act in the Alien Battlefield, effectively rendering him useless,
he could preserve a fire seed for the Origin Universe, a fire seed that could play a significant role at a critical moment.
All things considered, it was an absolutely worthwhile deal.
After all, given Lin Tianwei's current situation of being targeted by two God-Kings, it would be extremely difficult for him to further expand the Origin Universe's territory in the Alien Battlefield. A slight misstep could lead to him being directly taken away by a God-King.
In this way, it would be better to be thorough, preserve the fire of hope, and plan slowly for the future.
Heavensea God-King's idea was indeed very good, the safest approach, but it was not what Lin Tianwei wanted.
He hadn't yet obtained a trillion merit points, nor had he acquired a God-King inheritance. How could he, due to the attacks of a mere two God-Kings, leave the Alien Battlefield in disgrace?
Therefore, facing Heavensea God-King's offer of protection and kind advice, Lin Tianwei chose to refuse without hesitation, replying:
"Although I am already targeted by two God-Kings, this cannot stop my actions."
"I imagine Heavensea God-King, your initial intention in sending me to the Alien Battlefield was for me to demonstrate my inherent value, not to hide behind you like a coward, enjoying your protection."
"Furthermore, my goal is not the peak of Universe Master, but a higher level."
"If I choose to retreat at this moment, perhaps I will never again have the courage to challenge higher levels."
"True powerhouses should be fearless!"
Looking at Lin Tianwei's reply, Heavensea God-King was filled with emotion for a moment.
He admitted that in this matter, he had been short-sighted, looking before and behind, and had forgotten the most important thing.
Yes, Lin Tianwei was no longer the Cosmic Beast he had originally imagined, one who needed his protection to survive.
Judging from his glorious battle record, this was definitely a Cosmic Beast whose strength had already reached the peak of Universe Master.
It was hard to imagine that Lin Tianwei had only been in the Alien Battlefield for a few short years, and his strength had already advanced by leaps and bounds to such a degree.
If Lin Tianwei's life goal stopped here, merely wishing to be a peak Universe Master-level powerhouse, then he could indeed stop here and comfortably enjoy his protection.
But if he still intended to challenge higher realms, then he must directly confront higher-level powers.
Only by truly interacting with a God-King could he comprehend what God-King-level power felt like and forge his own path to God-King.
If he were to forcefully provide protection for Lin Tianwei now, it would not be helping him, but rather harming him.
The brave are invincible!
Losing the courage to face powerhouses, Lin Tianwei's achievements would undoubtedly not be too high.
However, just thinking of the Way of the God-King, Heavensea God-King's eyes became filled with endless sighs again; there was a great secret hidden within it. (End of Chapter)
