Chapter 605 — To Whom the New Source of Transcendence Shall Go

"Seems no one has the nerve to accept. After all, this Transcendent killer was taken down by you, Senior Emperor Shi." Shi Yan said, "Otherwise, why not just use them on the remaining five pets?"
"No." Emperor Shi shook his head. "For the pets that come next, I don't plan to use the Source of Transcendence to cultivate them."
"Uh." Lin Feng and the others were taken aback.
Emperor Shi said, "The Source of Transcendence is the condition for a god-level to advance to Transcendent. But do you know what the condition is for a Transcendent to advance to Cosmic level?"
Emperor Kong and the others all shook their heads. There were only five Cosmic-level beings in the entire universe. How they had ascended was likely known only to themselves.
"I have a guess."
"I, and my four pets, were not in any particularly perfect state when we first refined the Source of Transcendence. So we all wasted a great deal of its power and never fused with them perfectly."
"In other words, the stronger you are before fusing with the Source of Transcendence, the better the absorption."
"Doesn't the legend of the Epoch God exist in the universe? A god-level capable of matching Transcendents in battle, a god-level who broke through the limits of god-level..."
"So I've been wondering—must one reach some kind of limit at god-level, then break through a certain limit, and only then advance to Transcendent, in order to reach the Cosmic realm directly? Or, aside from the Source of Transcendence, are there other ways to advance to Transcendent?"
"Could there be another path for stepping into the Cosmic level?"
"The Epoch God is simply a god-level who broke through the perfect limit and mastered a peerless divine skill. According to Eastern Radiance's classification of skills, what if there exists another tier of divine skill above the peerless grade? A god-level who reached that tier—forget matching Transcendents in battle; could their combat power press directly toward the Cosmic realm?"
"An Epoch God who breaks through to Transcendent is already among the peak powerhouses of Transcendents. So then, could there exist an even stronger god?"
"Next, I want to use the remaining pets to run an experiment."
"For me, the Transcendent level—no matter how high or how many promotions I gain—has lost its meaning. What I need to do next is see clearly the truth of the Cosmic level."
When Emperor Shi finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
After a silence, the Demon Clan Transcendent said, "Ah, the five of us—the Source of Transcendence made us, and the Source of Transcendence ruined us. We broke through before reaching perfect god-level, and we never grasped the full limits of god-level."
"Don't be the ones who get the bargain and still play the victim," Lin Feng said in disgust.
Give you another chance, and it would be the same as you giving up the Source of Transcendence.
"The Human Race may also have new limits above the tenth heaven of god-level, but unless I reincarnate and start over, I can no longer explore them," Emperor Shi said with regret.
"I share a karmic tie with Blue Star. This Source of Transcendence can serve as a means to settle that karma, so I'll leave it to you to handle." Emperor Shi looked at Cen Yu. "What do you think would be a fitting distribution?"
Emperor Shi also knew that Blue Star needed five Transcendent humans to explore the Earth Ruins.
So he wanted, as much as possible, to prioritize cultivating five Transcendent humans, to settle the karma left by his use of the five Sources of Transcendence from the Earth Ruins.
"Hmm..." Shi Li said, "My level still isn't high enough. Leave it to Senior Emperor Kong and Senior Lin Feng to decide..."
"If I need one, I'll go find it myself."
To others, the Source of Transcendence was a rare treasure, but Shi Jin was confident that he would obtain many, many of them in the future, and did not find the thing so very rare.
