Chapter 667 — The Ashen One Who Becomes a Supergod

"That is all. If you have already forged more bonds and truly do not wish to take the risk of becoming a Cosmic Maintainer, that is fine too. Your own happiness matters most. Those people did not hold out much hope anyway. If the contract falls through, so be it—count it as a failure. And becoming a Cosmic Maintainer does not have to be me; that bunch of Family Prayers left another fallback. Mm, it is connected to the relic I just mentioned. What exactly it is, they did not tell me. You will have to find out yourself. That is all. Eheh."

Shi Jin: "..."

Honestly, seeing these contents, Shi Ying's mood should have been shaken and complicated.

But at this moment, there was only calm.

First, he had long suspected the origin of the Skill Codex. If at the beginning he could still explain it away as his second companion talent, then after learning that he came from the previous epoch, he had reason to suspect that this Skill Codex was a cheat left to him by his powerful past self in the previous epoch, something to let him grow quickly.

"Something forged jointly from the Cosmic Tree and many other cosmic supreme treasures of the previous epoch, along with the power of certain other experts? No wonder it is so monstrous." Shi Li.

"Still, I am satisfied that I could leave myself such a treasure. But I am not happy that I cannot keep cheating my way to cosmic level... Never mind. At least it left one last function."

"Also, my crossing indeed carries some mission. Becoming a Cosmic Maintainer as well? From the look of it, certain experts of the previous epoch chose me. And why insist on selecting a Cosmic Maintainer even across an entire epoch..."

"Could it be that, after becoming a Cosmic Maintainer, one can even resurrect the dead lives of the previous epoch—or even make the already destroyed epoch reappear as a parallel universe??"

"That way, those experts could appear in this world once more."

"Those ancient epoch civilizations that have already entered their graves could all be reborn."

Shi Jin suddenly had this bold conjecture, yet he found it extraordinarily reasonable. After all, if not for resurrection, who would expend such effort to cultivate a Cosmic Maintainer?

"These experts I speak of—who exactly are they?" Shi Qi thought.

Damn it, to stop halfway through a sentence.

And the relic he spoke of should be that Earth epoch relic that Goddess Wa also very much wanted to enter.

Goddess Wa felt that something inside that relic drew her strongly, and so she harbored a deep obsession with entering it.

And now, his past-life self had also mentioned this relic. It seemed something truly extraordinary was hidden within.

"It is time to go out."

At this moment, through Shi Ying's perception, all his pets had reached the peak of the mid supergod stage, while he himself stood at the peak of the high supergod stage. Now Shi Jin felt that even compared with Goddess Wa, his strength might not be inferior, and with all of them together, defeating a Goddess Wa would not be surprising at all.

A single pet, under his enhancement, could now possess the strength of Xuanxiao Peak—and a very powerful Xuanxiao Peak at that.

At this point, he was utterly invincible below cosmic level.

With such strength, Shi Cen knew clearly that it was time to go resolve all his doubts, help his pets complete their final cultivation, and seek the road to the cosmos.

"Little ones, let's go."

"Awoo!!!" Eleven and the others answered one by one.

......

Blue Star. Shi Jin left his cultivation environment and flew above Blue Star.

"Oh, not bad at all." The moment he came out, Shi Jin sensed the changes in Blue Star, and his eyes lit up.

No wonder Lan Yanzhi had asked him to break through on his home planet. He felt that Blue Star's current grade had also drawn close to Xuanxiao Peak, perhaps possessing the strength of nine transcendences.

That made sense. He himself... and Eleven, Chongchong, Baby Ginseng and all the other supergods were all creatures of Blue Star, and all of them had broken through on Blue Star now. The benefits Blue Star gained must be considerable, and the feedback it received should be about the same as his own.

"I'm back!!!" After emerging, Shi Jin directly blanketed all of Blue Star with his telepathy.

That one shout made Lan Yanzhi, Shi Di, Kong Di and the others who had been waiting for him breathe a sigh of relief.

The breakthrough had finally succeeded.

Although during this period no one had approached Blue Star to disturb Shi Jin's breakthrough, his prolonged failure to succeed had still left them somewhat worried.

Now that Shijin had completed his breakthrough, the weight in everyone's heart had at last settled completely.

Inatera.

Shijin stood before Lan Yanzhi, as the figures of the Time Emperor, the Void Emperor, Lin Feng, and the others emerged one after another.

And beyond them all, a singular figure surfaced here as well.

At the sight of her, even the Time Emperor could not help but offer a slight bow. On Blue Star, the Time Emperor needed to revere only two beings without reserve: one was Lan Yanzhi, the mother planet who had given birth to all life upon Blue Star; the other was Goddess Wa, creator of Blue Star's human race.

"Senior Goddess Wa, thank you for your protection," Shicen said in gratitude to the Goddess Wa who had appeared.

"No need to thank me," Goddess Wa said. "I never imagined that in such a short span of time, your strength would already approach the summit of the cosmos."

"Exactly, exactly," Lin Feng said, full of envy.

"Shijin's breakthrough this time has benefited me greatly as well," Lan Yanzhi said, feeling that the supergod was not Shijing's endpoint—if Shijin could break through to the cosmic level, then perhaps she too might have hope of reaching it.

After all, even the Realm King Star had never gestated or birthed a cosmic-level lifeform.

"What do you plan to do next?" the Void Emperor asked Shijin.

Once upon a time, Shiyu had been a raw newcomer from a backwater star system just entering the Floating Realm Domain; now, Shijin had become a figure who could make the cosmos tremble with the slightest stir. His actions and his intentions would, to some degree, set the currents of the starry sky in motion.

Shili: "Setting everything else aside, the first order of business is naturally to explore the Earth ruins Goddess Wa spoke of as soon as possible."

"Right now, I, the Time Emperor, the Void Emperor, and Senior Lin Feng are all supergods. We're just one person short of meeting the conditions to open the ruins."

Goddess Wa said, "I am aware. I already have other candidates in mind. Since you have broken through, next I will take those few and put them through a period of specialized training, hoping that a new supergod may arise among them as quickly as possible."

Lan Yanzhi said, "Goddess Wa intends to personally lead the Martial Emperor, the Empress, the Dragon Emperor, Lu Heng, Shenyuan, and the others out for training, and from among them select the next supergod."
