Chapter 705 — The Birth of the Strongest

combination technique—"Cosmic Devourer" plus "the Power of the Stone of Grace"—a feat accomplished by its own means.

One could say that this cosmic grace was not given freely by the cosmic will,

but rather wrested away by the worm by force.

The boundless cosmic grace would never have permitted anyone to lay a finger on it.

After all, it had been snatched by its own strength—why should it be shared with others? If a teammate

like Shi Jin had asked for some, the worm would not have minded in the least. But in this situation, the entire team

was waiting for the worm's breakthrough, so naturally no one competed with it.

After the worm devoured the power of cosmic grace that stretched across several star seas,

phenomena once again arose in the heavens above.

The worm's whole body bloomed with the light of evolution, and its aura surged straight into the starry

river. In that instant, everyone's eyes flew wide open, witnessing something unbelievable.

Beneath the worm's aura, people felt themselves abruptly pulled

into another universe.

Not only the powerhouses of Blue Star—at that moment, every powerhouse in the universe

had the illusion of stepping into a dream for an instant.

The range of this pull even included the Universe Overlord, who was deep within the Overlord Star

nursing his wounds, and the God of Destruction, who by means of other epochs' methods hid within

the crevices of time and space.

Both of them flung their eyes open in disbelief, unable to comprehend how

the power of this tiny insect could possibly affect them.

The Universe Overlord was one thing, but the God of Destruction was startled on the spot and immediately

broke free from the shackles of this "dream universe," leaping through time and space again and again to prevent

the other from finding him.

In fact, the worm had never had the slightest intention of seeking out the God of Destruction. It was purely that

its power at this moment touched upon the universe's most primal creative force, directly

affecting the entire cosmos in the form of a dream.

Within the pitch-black cosmic dream, something terrifying seemed to be gestating—

a creator being, born amid infinite light, turning the egg-like universe

from darkness to brightness, as dense white cracks in time and space began to appear. What

left people utterly astounded was that from these rifts in time and space, waves

of dragon might gradually poured forth. One azure divine dragon after another leapt out, forming

a scene of ten thousand dragons dancing together in the world of light.

Each of these azure dragons bore a cosmic-level oppression, making

the powerhouses who could stay lucid and watch reveal expressions of utter shock—for as for the mighty power contained in these azure dragons, the vast majority of them were no strangers to it.

"One of the epoch's cosmic throne lifeforms—the Azure Dragon!"

Lu Heng was the first to speak. No one had imagined that this insect's evolution

phenomena would actually produce the shadow of the Azure Dragon—and that these azure dragons would

seem to be celebrating the birth of something, appearing in a dance of congratulation.

This scene was truly astonishing, for the vast majority of people could not understand why.

...how the Zerg could have anything to do with the Azure Dragon, and even less could they understand why, in the hierarchy of the two,

the insect egg seemed to be the higher of the pair.

Roar!

At this very moment, beneath the dragon dance of one creation god-dragon after another from the previous epoch,

the orb of light grew larger and larger, wheeling endlessly through the starry sky, until at last, gathering

to a single point, all the god-dragons merged into that most radiant orb of light.

Boom!

The orb of light finally burst open, and a being that seemed sufficient

to sustain the birth of a cosmic world, like the most primordial god of cosmic genesis, gradually revealed

its full form.

Its form was dreamlike and illusory, bearing a gleaming green luster and a white

radiance, utterly sacred, radiating endless vitality; its entire wing surface was like a green sea of stars blooming with countless white

flowers, magnificent beyond measure, displaying the very image of the supreme.

Shi Jin and the others held their breath. They could see Chongchong's posture now,

strikingly similar to the Butterfly of Fantasy, except that the Butterfly of Fantasy was blue, whereas

now Chongchong had kept the green of its Green Cotton Worm days, and with the white of its silk

added, it had completed an entirely new transformation, suppressing every foreign bloodline, purely

raising its own insect bloodline to the absolute limit.

Boom!!

At this moment, Chongchong had undoubtedly completed a universe-level breakthrough and evolution

—in but an instant, Shi Jin sensed the change in Chongchong's breakthrough, utterly different from Susu's

breakthrough.

When Susu broke through, though her strength had been amplified in every aspect and her origin-fluctuation

power had grown even mightier, there was, in the essence of her skills, nothing wholly new

in the way of transformation.

But Chongchong was different. After completing its evolutionary breakthrough, one of its own

skills underwent a magnificent transformation, upgrading directly into a supergod

skill. Chongchong had become, on Shi Jin's team, the first pet beast to possess two supergod

skills!!

"Mmm—" Chongchong's voice, like the starry sky and the earth

quaking, set the entire universe trembling. At this moment, the Cosmic Overlord, and

the God of Destruction, who had once again hidden himself in a rift between other spacetimes, were both somewhat startled.

[Skill]: Genesis of Dreams

[Rank]: Supergod Skill

[Description]: By will alone, one may construct a dream world.

Even if the user dies completely, even if the universe is destroyed, even if the universe is restarted,

the dream world will not be destroyed. Within the dream, the user may attain eternal

spirit—true deathlessness and indestructibility.

The skill Chongchong had awakened struck Shi Jin as absurd. It was the first

skill he had ever seen that could ignore the restart of the universe.

At this moment, Chongchong was delighted too, feeling the power of Genesis of Dreams

—but soon it was filled with regret, thinking that though this move was powerful, it

was still not powerful enough.

The things within a dream are, in the end, illusory; the one who can attain eternity

is only itself—not everyone.

If this move could create a real universe, then it could disregard the existing one.

If only the universe could be restarted—then it and Shi Jin and the others could simply

move to another universe and survive, without having to risk becoming a Universe Sustainer.

At this very moment, as Chongchong completed its breakthrough, all the powerful figures of Blue Star

sensed the incomparable aura radiating from it—especially since Chongchong

was still being strengthened by Shi Jin, which made Goddess Wa draw a deep breath

and arrive at an incredible deduction.

"At the stage where Shi Jin is strengthening this pet beast, this butterfly's strength

has likely already surpassed that of a Universe Overlord."

The strength of a Universe Overlord lay in this: other Universe Emperors had only...

one supergod technique, but a Universe Overlord had two. Now, Goddess Wa sensed

that this butterfly most likely also had two supergod techniques—otherwise it could not possibly possess

such terrifying momentum.

As one who had fought a Universe Overlord, Xuanxiao Peak's Goddess Wa had

the judgment to make such a call.

"I shall name your new species the Creation Dream Butterfly," Shi Jin said, cobbling together

a name on the spot for the Chongchong before him. The creature, its body vast as a star,

heard this and beamed happily, caring not whether the name sounded good.
