Chapter 682 — The Cosmic Overlord's Prophetic Dream

To become a Cosmic Sustainer is to become the master of the cosmos. As a living being existing within the cosmos, how could the Cosmos Overlord tolerate another master over the environment in which she lived? If that person had been cultivated by her own hand, so be it—but the crux was that Shi Jin was not her own.

Still, she did not object to Shi Jin and the others striving for it. She had failed to cultivate a Cosmic Sustainer; she was curious to see whether that Super Luminary could succeed.

Whether he succeeded or not, before Shi Jin could contract the cosmos, he would first have to get past her. If he could not even defeat her, contracting the cosmos was out of the question—and at that point, she would simply kill Shi Jin outright first. Sepos, bored for so long, had long since shifted her interest from cultivating the human race to slowly cultivating in wait for the cosmos's restart, and ultimately a battle against the will of the cosmos.

But before that, she rather hoped Shi Jin and the others would grow quickly and stand before her, to satisfy her first. The precondition, of course... was that Shi Jin first get past the Dark King and the Beast King. On this descent, she would also declare her stance: she would not interfere in any cosmic dispute, and intended to sit back as a spectator and watch the powerhouses of the previous epoch contend with those of this one.

"So, Lord Sepos, you wish to become the 'examiner' for Shi Jin and the others on their path to becoming Cosmic Sustainers?" the Goddess Wa asked.

"'Examiner'? You could put it that way," the Cosmos Overlord said.
