Chapter 551 Planning Ahead
After a level thirteen god lord dies, he will naturally leave behind the Dao Fruit he condensed into a god lord, which is the law of attaining the Dao.
After the death of the King of Light, he will naturally leave behind his spiritual fruits.
Gao Wu had spoken with the Primordial Heavenly King beforehand, stating that he wished to illuminate the Heavenly King's Dao Fruit. The two divine lords reached an agreement on this matter.
The current situation is somewhat different.
The only Dao Fruit left behind by the God after his death is the Dao Fruit itself. The primordial light left behind by the King of Light contains not only the Dao Fruit, but also all his power, wisdom, and experience.
The Dao Fruit is the supreme law of the gods, which can be seen as the emperor's throne.
To become emperor, one must first overthrow the emperor on the throne in order to vacate the position.
Such battles often cause severe damage to a country.
Even after rebels seize the throne, it takes a long time for the empire to recover and flourish again.
The current situation is that the emperor not only abdicated, but also handed over the vast wealth and army accumulated by the dynasty to the rebels.
This result was also beyond the expectations of the Primordial Heavenly King.
Simply giving up the Dao Fruit of the Bright Heaven King won't cause any problems in the short term.
Chu Guang is different; he can enable a level twelve god to quickly become a god-lord and truly wield the power of a god-lord.
The King of Light clearly knew his calculations and used a little trick to make him very uncomfortable.
Such a small trick would not have been enough to change the situation, but the Primordial Heavenly King saw the Limitless Divine Armor.
The two-hundred-meter-tall, deep blue divine armor actually possessed the power of level thirteen, and its strength was exceptionally tyrannical and powerful.
Judging from its aura, it is very similar to Chaos, but the way it controls power is completely different.
Gao Wu was able to easily kill the King of Light because he joined forces with this giant level 13 divine armor.
The Primordial Heavenly King could sense that the divine armor possessed life and spirituality, and that it had a close relationship with Gao Wu. But where did this Level 13 God Lord suddenly appear from?!
This sudden appearance of the deity disrupted all the original plans.
To seize the primordial light left behind by the King of Light, one must face the combined forces of two divine beings.
Although Yuan Shi was confident, he also knew that he had no chance of winning under these circumstances.
He violated the Eternal Contract, which caused him immense harm. He had originally thought he could make up for the loss with the Dao Fruit, but now things have turned out this way.
"Is this my destined fate?"
When the Primordial Heavenly King thought of the title of King of High Martial Destiny, he couldn't help but have doubts about the future. Could he really survive this era?
But he quickly suppressed these strong negative emotions. The situation wasn't good, but fortunately there was still a way to resolve it.
The primordial light left behind by the King of Light was too powerful; even a level twelve god could not withstand it.
Even if Gao Wu held it in his hand, he wouldn't know how to absorb and transform it in a short time. The secret of the Taihao Dao Fruit was something even the Bright Heaven King didn't understand, let alone Gao Wu.
"Let's leave this primordial light with Gao Wu for now..."
Thinking of this, the Primordial Heavenly King said to Gao Wu, "According to the previous agreement, the Dao Fruit belongs to you."
Gao Wu could tell that Yuan Shi had other plans, but the Wuji Divine Armor made Yuan Shi change his mind.
However, as long as Yuanshi doesn't make a move, he won't interfere. Obtaining the First Light will allow Xiao Song to also advance to level thirteen.
He also gained trillions of merits by killing the King of Light and hundreds of billions of angels.
This King of Light occupies countless dimensions and has numerous followers throughout the myriad realms.
He may not need blood sacrifices, and he may not even be a demon god. However, in order to promote his faith, he must have killed countless people.
With these trillions of merits, he can also enhance his divine spells and elevate his Taiyi Battle Body to an unparalleled level.
Whatever his original plan was, delaying the inevitable would greatly benefit him.
Gao Wu cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness."
"Until we meet again." With a flick of his sleeve, the Primordial Heavenly King broke through the air and departed.
Gao Wu put away the Limitless Divine Armor. He also wanted to keep the armor as a trump card, but the Bright Heaven King was too strong.
His Xuanwu Divine Qi Spell was a level below par, his Taiyi Battle Body wasn't perfect, and the home-field advantage of the Divine Realm was too great. He simply couldn't gain any advantage against the Bright Heavenly King.
This saves a lot of trouble. At least Yuanshi won't be bothered with him again in the short term.
With a thought, Gao Wu resonated with Xiao Song on Earth, and the next moment, Xiao Song appeared in front of him.
When the King of Light was destroyed, the Sea of Light was condensed into the First Light, and all that remained was the endless, deep void.
Song Mingyue spotted Chu Guang at a glance. She was too familiar with Gao Wu to need to look at him any further.
In the deep, dark void, the first light shone brightly and gently, like water, its quiet brilliance possessing a beauty that transcends all.
"Isn't it beautiful? It's a gift for you." Gao Wu smiled and waved his hand, and the first light fell on Song Mingyue's brow.
The immense power, experience, and divine laws of a level thirteen god-lord were then unleashed with a thunderous roar.
Although Song Mingyue had already reached the peak of level twelve, at this moment she was like an ordinary person encountering a flash flood, instantly swept forward by the raging torrent.
Both the Tai Chi Twin Snake Divine Form and her powerful spiritual strength were directly submerged by the torrent.
The strongest divine power of light in all the heavens and myriad realms instantly transformed her divine soul and spiritual essence into a ball of clear light.
Just as Song Mingyue's soul was being destroyed by light, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue established a soul resonance.
Resonance was like a strong rope, binding Song Mingyue, who was like someone falling into a flood, giving her a stable anchor and a stable support.
However, this was not enough to solve the problem of Song Mingyue's soul being devoured and assimilated.
At this moment, Gao Wu made the most important and correct choice: to use trillions of merits to upgrade the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra.
He wasn't in such a hurry, but Song Mingyue's condition was critical.
Thanks to the wondrous power of the Qilin Divine Heroic Incantation, Gao Wu had long been prepared to deal with this.
The Xuanwu Divine Qi Incantation was already exceptionally well-suited to Xiao Song. With the incantation advancing to the supreme realm, its help to Xiao Song became even more immense, enough to help him solve the problem of not being able to withstand the power of a level thirteen divine force.
Of course, failure is also possible. But if you want to advance to level thirteen, you always have to take risks.
Gao Wu did not discuss it with Song Mingyue, believing that Song Mingyue would not make any other choice.
Xiao Song is an even purer martial artist than him!
As the Xuanwu Divine Mantra advanced, the image of the Xuanwu God emerged, transforming into a black-gold nine-pointed star that danced in the sky.
Through soul resonance, Song Mingyue received the blessing of the black and gold nine-pointed star.
The vast, righteous, yet gentle power of the Xuanming Realm empowered her nearly annihilated soul, allowing it to reform. The Tai Chi Twin Serpent Divine Form began to slowly circulate, absorbing the laws of the divine power of light...
The purest primordial light was transformed by the Tai Chi twin snakes and gradually merged into Song Mingyue's soul.
The power she cultivates is based on Xuanming, which, strictly speaking, is not compatible with the thirteenth level of light power.
However, the power of the thirteenth level of light was so powerful that the Xuanming power she cultivated was slowly dissolved by the divine power of light. The black and white Tai Chi twin snakes, on the contrary, became blacker and whiter.
This was also because a high-level martial artist resonated with Song Mingyue through the Tai Chi sword intent, continuously empowering her with the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra, allowing her soul to maintain its original nature and preventing it from being completely altered by the power of light.
The power of light is the purest form of power. If Song Mingyue's spiritual essence is assimilated by the power of light, she will be transformed into another King of Light, thus losing her true self.
The current state is very good. While maintaining her own spirituality, Song Mingyue has also mastered the power of the Light God.
Through resonance, Gao Wu also saw the many supernatural transformations of the divine power of light.
The most important ones are Dawn and Purification. Dawn is the ultimate divine light that completely freezes space and time, while Purification is the ultimate divine light that destroys everything.
As for creating angels of light, these are all basic divine abilities.
Song Mingyue's power is too weak. Normally, it would take tens of thousands of years to gradually master the power of light and its energy, and become a true god.
It was the resonance during the advancement of the Xuanwu Divine Mantra that helped Song Mingyue overcome the most difficult hurdle and protected her spirituality.
With the guidance and protection of Gao Wu through the Tai Chi Sword Intent, Song Mingyue also mastered the power of light and became the new generation of the King of Light after Gao Wu completed the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra advancement.
Sensing Gao Wu's address, Song Mingyue shook her head slightly and said, "I am not the King of Light, I am Song Mingyue."
Although she fully accepted the divine power and laws of the King of Light, the way she wielded that same power was vastly different.
The King of Light possesses divine power as strong as the sun, while she is as perfect as a pearl, her light pure and clear. The King of Light radiates outwards, while she gathers inwards.
The different ways she wields power also determine the fundamental difference between her and the King of Light.
Gao Wu laughed heartily, then touched Song Mingyue's soft cheek: "Let me taste the flavor of a Heavenly King..."
Song Mingyue gently hugged Gao Wu. The rapid increase in her life level in a short period of time made her feel unfamiliar with herself. She was actually still a little unaccustomed to this state.
It should be understood that any level thirteen powerhouse has to go through millions of years of tempering and have extraordinary luck to climb step by step to the peak.
However, Song Mingyue somehow managed to reach the pinnacle of power with Gao Wu within just a few years.
Even at this moment, she still felt a sense of unreality. Only by holding Gao Wu could she be certain that this was the real world, and that everything was real and authentic.
Gao Wu could understand Xiao Song's feelings. He knew that he had gotten to this point because of the Book of Immeasurable Merit, but Xiao Song was not sure about the path she had taken.
The fact that all processes are omitted and the result is obtained directly is indeed difficult for people to get used to.
Although Chu Guang possesses the wisdom and experience of the King of Light, the time is too short, and Xiao Song also needs time to learn and digest it.
After all, the King of Light lived for countless eons, and his experiences were incredibly complex and wondrous. If his life were written down, the book could fill the entire planet Earth.
Gao Wu deliberately led Song Mingyue to skip this step, as the experience and wisdom of the Bright Heaven King had a strong soul imprint, which had a great influence on Song Mingyue.
These things should be digested slowly by him and Xiao Song to minimize the impact of the King of Light.
The endless void is a perfect place to test one's strength.
Gao Wu sparred with Song Mingyue, guiding her to gradually unleash her level thirteen divine power.
Directly mastering level thirteen power was a huge leap for Song Mingyue. It was like a multi-millionaire suddenly becoming a trillionaire; although both were wealthy, the difference in scale was enormous.
At different levels, people have completely different philosophies about spending and making money.
Fortunately, Gao Wu leveled up using divine incantations, pushing his martial arts to level thirteen. Martial arts is not just about being good at fighting, but also about the precise control of energy.
Through the resonance of their souls, Gao Wu also saw all the changes in the laws of the God of Light. However, without the Primordial Light, no matter how profound his understanding, he ultimately could not unleash the full power of the God of Light.
Fortunately, his understanding was sufficient to guide Xiao Song in using the power of light.
Reaching the Supreme Realm of the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra not only boosted his power to 55 points, but more importantly, it filled the last gap in the Taiyi Battle Body.
Only then can the power of the Taiyi Supreme Battle Body be fully unleashed, at least doubling his combat strength.
Such a huge improvement means that he can now disregard the divine domain advantage of the God Lord.
In other words, the Supreme Battle Body of Taiyi is his most powerful divine realm.
Under Gao Wu's guidance, the divine light that Song Mingyue unleashed grew stronger and stronger, soon illuminating the deep void with a bright glow.
Gao Wu guided Song Mingyue in various subtle ways through spiritual resonance and Tai Chi sword intent.
The two practiced in the void for several months until they had learned all the wisdom and experience left behind by the King of Light. Song Mingyue truly mastered the thirteenth level of divine power of light, and only then did the two return to Earth.
Before we knew it, the year was drawing to a close.
Gao Wu and Song Mingyue returned to Anjing to celebrate the New Year with the old man and Shang Qingjun.
Although Gao Wu is now the highest-ranking member of the alliance, he doesn't have to manage specific affairs. After returning, he only greeted his teacher, Grandpa Song, and Wei Qiankun.
He's now too powerful and influential; people without real connections don't dare come to him, even if they know he's back.
Before the Lunar New Year, Gao Wu invited Shen Yue and Zhou Hongying to dinner again. Shen Yue is only 24 years old this year and runs an online media company, mainly responsible for media relations and such.
After all, with the connections in Gaowu, he could easily make a good living by taking on any kind of business.
Shen Yue didn't have any grand ambitions. He was already very satisfied with becoming a high-level warrior under Gao Wu's guidance.
Zhou Hongying works as Shang Qingjun's assistant and doesn't have a boyfriend. With Gao Wu's help, she has now become a martial arts master. Although she is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she has become more and more charming and attractive.
Looking at these old friends, Gao Wu could see just how remarkable his progress had been over the past few years by using them as benchmarks.
Normally speaking, he should only have just graduated from university.
Fortunately, I now have money and a wife, and apart from a few religious statues, I don't have any other worries.
After the gathering, the two stayed at home to wait for the Chinese New Year.
Once midnight was past New Year's Eve, the old man, being elderly, went to rest first, and Shang Qingjun also went to sleep.
Gao Wu and Song Mingyue stood at the window watching the fireworks. In the past two years, various resources have been poured into Beizhou, which has greatly boosted economic development.
Fireworks and firecrackers were being set off everywhere, filling the sky with colorful fireworks and the incessant crackling of firecrackers, making the cold night in Anjing lively.
Song Mingyue said softly, "For some reason, I suddenly thought of Lord Qin..."
If Duke Qin had known they could reach the thirteenth level so quickly, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself so heroically.
"There are no 'what ifs' in life. The situation was critical back then. If it weren't for the Time-Space Great Wall, just one level-twelfth demon god breaking in would have been the end for Earth..."
Gao Wu understood Song Mingyue's meaning. How could one possibly calculate something so precise when undertaking such a major undertaking? How could one place their hopes on an uncertain future?
The greatness of the Duke of Qin lies in his willingness to take responsibility. Looking back now, it is a pity, but it was the best response they could make at that moment.
The Great Wall of Time and Space blocked spatial anomalies and the erosion of source energy, maintaining the stability of Earth.
Even now, the Great Wall of Time and Space still holds immense significance.
Without the Chaos Dragon King as a foundation, even a high-level martial artist of level thirteen couldn't create such a stable spacetime barrier...
The rules of the material universe are also those that even the gods must follow. Therefore, the gods reside in their own divine realms and rarely enter the material universe.
However, what if Primal has ulterior motives and wants to cause trouble on Earth? The Level 12 Spacetime Great Wall, while stable, cannot stop Primal…
Gao Wu suddenly realized this, and he didn't think it was just needless worry, but rather something inevitable.
Earth was his home planet, and the Primal knew this. The God Lord acted without any constraints, and the very thought that arose in his mind was a premonition.
Having gained the experience and wisdom of the King of Light, he also understood the relationship between the six realms, and that all six kings originated from the Dao Fruit of Taihao.
By combining the other five Dao Fruits, one might be able to reach level fourteen; at least this is a very reliable path to advancement...
From this perspective, the Primal Empire will not let them go... (End of Chapter)
