Chapter 883: Chapter 720 Heart of the Cosmic_3

"Decomposition Dao!?"

The Three Thousand Great Dao are the foundation of the entire Cosmic construct.

Even if Gu Jinlai has never been in contact with the Great Dao, he understands what it means if even the Great Dao can be decomposed.

It means...

Evil God...

possesses the power to destroy the entire Cosmic.

"Although the Evil Gods have acquired the power to ’decompose’ parts of the Great Dao, the Three Thousand Great Dao are intertwined and unrelenting. Those Evil Gods caught within cannot escape from the Heart of the Cosmic. Understanding the threat of the Evil Gods, the Great Powers have called upon Golden Immortals from all realms, planning to invade the Heart of the Cosmic. Before the Evil Gods evolve into even more terrifying entities, all available forces must be concentrated to eliminate the Evil Gods."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said.

Gu Jinlai heard this and knew without guessing that those Great Powers had failed.

"The environment within the Heart of the Cosmic is far more hostile than those Great Powers anticipated. The Three Thousand Great Dao crisscross and are chaotic and disordered. Even a strong Immortal Golden Immortal entering would have their powers severely disrupted and affected. Ultimately, the Expedition Army was defeated disastrously, and some Evil Gods even took the opportunity to project their power out of the Heart of the Cosmic, stirring trouble everywhere."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said, glancing at Gu Jinlai: "The Evil Gods that attacked our Xuanhuang Alliance ten thousand years ago were like this, as are the Evil Gods of the Longevity World, I suppose."

Gu Jinlai, hearing Star Lord Tian Xiang’s words, couldn’t help but have his eyes contract sharply.

The Evil God in the True Spirit Realm actually...

"You ask me for the methods to counter the Evil God; in fact, these so-called methods bear little significance."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said: "Once our world’s coordinates are targeted, the Evil God will descend repeatedly until our world is completely destroyed. And since their true forms reside in the Heart of the Cosmic, even if we expend great effort to defeat their incarnation, it has little significance, unless we can completely seal off the Heart of the Cosmic, preventing their power from projecting out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlai finally understood why the Xuanhuang Realm chose to forge the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm.

In circumstances where confrontations have little significance, defense evidently offers higher value for investment.

Furthermore, their choice to devour surrounding worlds is because even if they don’t devour these worlds, they will eventually fall into the Evil Gods’ hands.

"Then the Devouring Dao..."

"The Evil Gods can decompose most of the Great Dao, but there are still a few Great Dao beyond their decompose range, and the Devouring Dao is one of them. So, when truly waging war against the Evil Gods, the Devouring Dao is one of the most fundamental utilizations of the Great Dao."

Star Lord Tian Xiang continued: "Also, because the Evil Gods can now decompose most of the Great Dao’s power, even those Immortal Golden Immortals to them are akin to food, leaving cultivators’ existence meaningless. Hence, using physical bodies made of matter to counter Evil God Power with Divine Sense Ability is the most correct tactic."

He paused in his speech: "Mechanics continually counter the Devouring Dao, aside from battles being based on the foundation of the Devouring Dao, when entering the Heart of the Cosmic in the future, they also possess stronger resistance against the chaotic and disordered Three Thousand Great Dao."

Hearing Star Lord Tian Xiang’s description, Gu Jinlai could more or less surmise how severe the battleground over at the Heart of the Cosmic might be.

Only...

"Ordinary mechanics, are they useful?"

Gu Jinlai said.

"Since you’ve already come into contact with Evil Gods, you should naturally know that accompanying the Evil Gods are a multitude of Evil Spirits. Immortal Golden Immortals combat Evil Gods, yet there must be someone to take over the task of countering the Evil Spirits."

Star Lord Tian Xiang sighed: "This is a war that has been fought for hundreds of thousands of years. Our Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty initially thought that, located in the rear, we could be spared, but unexpectedly... the power of the Evil God has already broken through the defensive circle built by All Immortals and penetrated to the rear."

"Hundreds of thousands of years..."

At this moment, Gu Jinlai seemed to have thought of something, suddenly saying: "The founders of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, are the Immortal Golden Immortals summoned to the Heart of the Cosmic back then?"

"Yes."

Star Lord Tian Xiang smiled lightly: "Our Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was one of the Dao fields of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns back then. All of us can be regarded as descendants of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, and each of these emperors successfully attained the Immortal Venerable Level."

"Immortal Venerable?"

"Immortal Golden Immortals are also known as Honorable Daoists, and among the noble Honorable Daoists are the Immortal Venerables."

The Deity of the Moon stood by, briefly explained, and then said to Gu Jinlai: "We already know your main purpose for coming to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, to save your world from the Evil Gods? But I don’t recommend you do so; it’s meaningless. Without a single Immortal Golden Immortal, even against an Evil God Avatar, you are powerless to resist. No matter how much effort is exerted, it’s merely a waste of manpower and resources. I suggest you lease a battleship to relocate the life of the Longevity World."

"Are we supposed to just let that Evil God roam freely around the neighboring worlds, ignoring it?"

Gu Jinlai said.

"Every significance, winning the war in the Heart of the Cosmic is key! With this time, you’d rather study more about the optimization of mechas under the operation state of the Devouring Dao."

The Deity of the Moon said.

Gu Jinlai had already found the technology tree of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty quite odd before, like a vintage-style sci-fi civilization.

Now hearing his mention of the battleground at the Heart of the Cosmic...

He has faintly guessed something, estimating that the technology used by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty comes from the support of a technological civilization at the Heart of the Cosmic battlefield. Just due to the limited areas of interest by Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, technology development seems quite unusual.

Moreover, their mechas are not incapable of being made more advanced, but must be capable of exerting sufficiently strong power under the interference of different Great Dao.

Like the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, their mecha operations focus on the Devouring Dao status, while other civilizations presumably focus on the Destruction Dao, Life Dao, and Creation Dao statuses.

Of course, this is on the condition that these Daos have not been decomposed by the Evil Gods.

The Daos decomposed by different Evil Gods also vary.

No one knows what kind of opponent they will encounter at that time.

However...

This is not a reason for him to give up on the Longevity World.

"I still hope to get help from the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, after all, there seems to be quite some time..."

Gu Jinlai said.

"No, you don’t have much time left, perhaps even the next moment, he might suddenly awaken."

Lord Tianji suddenly spoke.

Looking at Gu Jinlai with a gaze that seemed somewhat sympathetic.

"The next moment!?"

Gu Jinlai’s mind shook: "You mean..."

"Yes, I estimate, there may be only one or two hundred years left."

Lord Tianji said.

"..."

Gu Jinlai looked at Lord Tianji strangely.

One or two hundred years?

"What kind of look is that? One or two hundred years is just my estimated speed, maybe you only have fifty years, no, perhaps only thirty years left I tell you..."

Lord Tianji frowned: "With such a short amount of time, if you don’t organize people to evacuate quickly, you might not even be able to ensure the entire retreat of your Longevity World’s beings."

"I understand."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

A few decades remain, it is not an immediate crisis.

Moreover, after the previous introduction by Star Lord Tian Xiang, he had an epiphany regarding the various aspects of Evil Gods and Divine Spirits.

This kind of life form, no longer has a single element of mystery.

And having unveiled the mysterious veil over the Evil Gods, Gu Jinlai felt that the psychological pressure he was enduring had also diminished significantly.

Lord Tianji and the others seemed to sense the change in Gu Jinlai’s emotions, secretly exchanged glances, completely uncertain why he felt relieved.

"I still hope to gain the Magic Skill to counter the Evil Gods from your side."

Gu Jinlai spoke, pausing slightly: "If possible, I hope to obtain the Refining God Skill above the Immortal Golden Immortal level."

Star Lord Tian Xiang shook his head.

Thinking that Gu Jinlai was simply wasting his time.

A few decades, at most one or two hundred years, is not enough time to accomplish anything further.

However, he did not say anything, instead, he turned his gaze towards Taiyin Star Lord, the second-in-command of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, right after Emperor Zhou Huang.

This Star Lord was also very straightforward: "Fine, but the Secret Techniques of our Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty do not come out of nowhere; if you want them, you must also have sufficient contributions and merits."

As he spoke, this Star Lord, with her body veiled in light gauze and a gentle voice, continued: "Perhaps you can go directly to the Heart of the Cosmic battlefield, Evil Spirits, followers, and presently unbeatable Evil God Avatars, Divine Spirits; there are many ways to gain cultivation techniques and resources."

"I will provide a reward that will satisfy you all."

Gu Jinlai said.

Taiyin Star Lord nodded slightly and turned to Star Lord Tian Xiang: "Continue to liaise with this Scholar Gu, my emperor brother."

"Alright."

Star Lord Tian Xiang smiled slightly.

"Next, let’s discuss whether the Xuanhuang Realm needs to deviate from its original orbital path..."

Taiyin Star Lord turned his gaze towards the other Star Lords, while over here, a Star Lord Tian Xiang incarnation separated and, taking Gu Jinlai, directly departed from the Xuanhuang Hall.
