Chapter 882: Chapter 720 Heart of the Cosmic_2

The Star Lord said heavily, "They will expend effort and energy, cleaning meticulously."

Gu Jinlai felt a chill in his heart.

"To avoid being purged, there are only two ways: one, make your Divine Country stronger, the other..."

"Stop others from casting their Divine Country."

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

"Exactly."

Star Lord Tian Xiang nodded: "As I’ve mentioned, when Divine Spirits cast a Divine Country, they need to use their high-dimensional will to interfere with the Will of All Living Beings. When those beings reach a certain level of growth, their will is then introduced into the Divine Country, becoming material for its construction. In other words, life itself is the Divine Country! The more life there is, the stronger the Divine Country can be, but beings that meet the criteria are limited... Thus, to seize living beings..."

"War."

Gu Jinlai didn’t need to guess to know.

A war fought to ensure one’s survival at the expense of others.

"Indeed, an ongoing war that has yet to end! A war of gods against gods! A war of immortals against gods!"

Star Lord Tian Xiang said: "Divine Spirits will assimilate beings, and to some extent, those beings become incarnations of the Divine Spirits. In the future, it would be near impossible for them to have their own ’Dao’, meaning they cannot Prove Dao and become immortals. To Immortal Golden Immortals, this is neither good nor bad, but when it comes to Great Dao Golden Immortals, they will have descendants and loved ones. If they wish to bring these people onto the path and have them Prove Dao to immortality but find that they have already devoted themselves to a Divine Spirit, losing their qualification to ’receive’ the Dao..."

At this point, he paused slightly: "Moreover, immortals are essentially the beginning of ’Refining God’. Although they possess their own ’Dao’ and have considerable resistance due to it, their divine sense and Spirit are strong, turning such an immortal into an incarnation-like entity, and merging them into the Divine Country, is the best nourishment."

Gu Jinlai listened, his heart growing cold.

This means that there is an irreconcilable conflict between immortals and Divine Spirits.

However...

"What is the relationship between Divine Spirits and Evil Gods?"

"For ordinary beings to evolve into suitable ’materials’ for a Divine Country is too slow. Yet one day, a Divine Spirit realized, why not simply ’assemble’ these materials personally? They only need to degrade what they need from the beings into the most primordial particles, ext acting the essence, and they wouldn’t need to spend time ’assimilating’ those beings and waiting for them to grow..."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said gravely: "Thus, some Divine Spirits integrated completely with their Divine Countries, some even transforming themselves into forms dedicated to ’degrading’ beings, becoming super-factories. Since their degradation level is so low, to the extent that matter and energy can scarcely affect them, and because they fundamentally still belong to the Immortal Golden Immortal, their power is inexhaustible and almost impossible to kill, eventually... forming Fallen Gods."

"Fallen Gods are Evil Gods, their essence... still Immortal Golden Immortals?"

"Fallen Gods are the initial form of Evil Gods."

Star Lord Tian Xiang nodded: "This is a life form that doesn’t significantly affect Immortal Golden Immortals."

Gu Jinlai thought of the Devouring Dao maintaining the operation of the entire Immortal Xuanhuang Realm...

"The purpose of the ever-operational Devouring Dao is to make Evil Gods mistakenly believe it is an Immortal Golden Immortal, thus avoiding them?"

Gu Jinlai asked.

"Listen to me."

Star Lord Tian Xiang pointed with a virtual hand, and a splendorous starlight evolved before him, eventually transforming into a...

Colossal existence akin to the Milky Way.

Star Lord Tian Xiang pointed at the core position within it, "This is the Heart of the Cosmic!"

"Silver Heart?"

Gu Jinlai’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Doesn’t this starry sky not quite reach the scale of a "cosmos"?

"The true Heart of the Cosmic."

Star Lord Tian Xiang seemed to have guessed Gu Jinlai’s thoughts and said: "This is the Cosmic origin, the Three Thousand Great Dao extended from the Heart of the Cosmic. It’s said that the mysterious and unfathomable Daoist Ancestor resides within the Heart of the Cosmic. Since this area is the origin of the entire universe, the source of the Three Thousand Great Dao, hence the Dao overlap; it hasn’t even evolved into a complete cosmic starry sky, no ordinary matter or life exists here. Only those beings who have touched the Heavenly Dao can survive in this region..."

"The origin of the Cosmic..."

"In contrast to the Divine Spirits, Fallen Gods degrade all life from the root, a case of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Back then, not only did cultivators rebuke the actions of Fallen Gods in anger, but Divine Spirits could also not tolerate them. During an ancient epoch, Divine Spirits and Golden Immortals collaborated to seal the Evil Gods here, utilizing the Heart of the Cosmic’s strong restraining power against the Three Thousand Great Dao, sealing them in this intertwining realm of Dao, where matter and life do not exist."

Star Lord Tian Xiang paused at this point: "A great number of Divine Spirits were also sealed at that time."

Gu Jinlai was stunned.

"The Three Thousand Great Dao converge chaotically within the Heart of the Cosmic. Unless one can clarify the Three Thousand Great Dao, any being entering it is doomed to die. Additionally, over time, Divine Spirits and Evil Gods, deprived of life replenishment, will gradually perish with each purge from the Daoist Ancestor. But..."

Star Lord Tian Xiang took a deep breath: "Countless years of relentless erosion has not resulted in the complete demise of Divine Spirits and Fallen Gods, but instead led them to evolve into a brand-new form of life..."

"The true Evil Gods!?"

"The true Evil Gods."

Star Lord Tian Xiang stated heavily: "Having survived billions of years within the chaotic convergence of the Three Thousand Great Dao in the Heart of the Cosmic, they have even gradually acquired the power of ’degrading’ the Dao..."
