Chapter 967: Chapter 428: Jia Xun’s Skull, the Causal Chain of Apotheosis

Su Tu spoke calmly at this moment.

That’s right, this ancient and majestic being, resembling a dragon but not quite, akin to a serpent yet different, is the Celestial Extremes, whose True Spirit was transferred into the Egg of Chaos for rebirth.

As Su Tu passed through that eerie gate, the Egg of Chaos began to react, with countless ancient runes emerging on its surface.

Subsequently, the consciousness of the Celestial Extremes awakened from slumber, but it had yet to completely absorb all the energy within the Egg of Chaos and could not hatch into the present world.

However, having been confined for an untold number of ages, the Celestial Extremes could no longer hold back and yearned to experience the world, even as an egg.

Unfortunately, even as a being from chaos, with the most mysterious and noble lineage, an egg cannot roll freely across the ground.

This Egg of Chaos originated from chaos and possesses a divine pedigree equivalent to the Innate Gods and Sacred Beings. To completely absorb the energy and hatch, it requires a lengthy period.

Therefore, the Celestial Extremes felt as if running from one cage to another.

It was merely a transition from a life sentence to a limited sentence, though the duration was uncertain.

At this moment, Su Tu had an idea: since it had consciousness, it could utilize the Power of the Heart and Spirit. Thus, he suggested the Celestial Extremes attempt to project its shadow into the present world.

Unexpectedly, this actually worked, with the current body of the Celestial Extremes projected into the present world while its main body remained gestating within the egg.

Previously, when Su Tu arrived, he let the Celestial Extremes wander around. The Celestial Extremes ran around joyfully, finding freshness even in this small world, having been confined for countless eras.

Until it sensed someone daring to negotiate terms with his big brother...

In an instant, it arrived, easily crushing these Foreign Races as if squashing ants.

In the eyes of the Celestial Extremes, all living beings and races of this world are so humble and weak.

Such unworthy beings think they have the right to negotiate with Su Tu? Crushing them is straightforward!

"Yet his lifespan was depleted, fighting until his dying breath, such a person deserves respect, not humiliation."

Su Tu spoke lightly.

Hearing Su Tu’s words, the Celestial Extremes immediately stopped, looking at Su Tu with a smile.

"Alright! Big brother!! Do you think I look handsome in this form? Although I’m not fully born yet, I guess my appearance won’t change much from now."

The Celestial Extremes was utterly obedient to this big brother, who battled against the Eastern Emperor on its behalf, seeing no loss in acknowledging him as a brother.

Furthermore, for reasons unknown, since Su Tu’s transformation in the Golden Pool, the Celestial Extremes felt an inexplicable sense of closeness towards him...

Hmm... it resembled the feeling one has towards their father.

"An eldest brother like a father, quite reasonable."

The Celestial Extremes comforted itself in this way.

"Big brother, the projection time is limited, I must return now, remember to call me if needed."

After speaking, the Celestial Extremes’ form suddenly dissipated, leaving only a drop of crimson, gem-like blood suspended in mid-air before vanishing.

This drop of blood belonged to Su Tu since a carrier is needed for projection; to bear an entity of the Celestial Extremes’ level, immense vitality is required.

Having undergone the metamorphosis in the Golden Pool, each drop of Su Tu’s blood contained boundless vitality, enough to support the projection of the Celestial Extremes.

Su Tu estimated the current strength of the Celestial Extremes, at least equivalent to the Dao Lord Level, even though it was not yet fully gestated and only an illusion, not even a true avatar.

Once the Celestial Extremes completely hatches and manifests in the present world, it’s unimaginable what level of power it will achieve.

Even now, a single drop of blood summoning Dao Lord level might is exceedingly cost-effective.

At this moment, the battlefield was strewn with bodies, only the Human Race prodigies remained in place, mending themselves.

The throne did not emerge due to the prodigies’ blood, and this world remained unchanged.

It seemed as if indicating... the blood is still insufficient!!

Only one remains, ascending to the throne!!

This line emerged in Su Tu’s heart as his eyes inadvertently glanced at the Human Race prodigies tending to their wounds.

His eyes betrayed a hint of complex emotion.

"Jia Xun is no longer..."

He murmured softly.

Then his brows furrowed.

In his mind, Jia Xun’s almost demonic appearance emerged, ostensibly a Buddha’s Son yet possessing a face more delicate and stunning than a woman’s, marked by a single red dot on the forehead, reflecting compassion in the eyes.

Subsequently, this image began to wither rapidly, with flesh continuously falling off.

Until finally, a skull radiating Buddha’s light appeared before him.

Indeed, the skull that helped Su Tu open that final eerie gate, once restored with flesh, bore an uncanny resemblance to Jia Xun’s appearance as the Buddha’s Son.

In truth, Su Tu and Jia Xun had limited interaction, only twice meeting briefly, their greatest collaboration being the planned destruction of the Golden Pool.

Yet the Golden Pool was now destroyed by Su Tu, ending that collaboration.

Su Tu was quite intrigued by Jia Xun as they both were considered the second ’infant’ to successfully grow after themselves, having listened to Dao under the Starship, just like Su Tu himself.

Su Tu always wished to uncover what extraordinary aspects Jia Xun might possess.

Unexpectedly, that skull belonged to Jia Xun.

Initially, he considered the skull merely resembled Jia Xun in appearance, but upon noticing Jia Xun’s absence, Inference of Heaven’s intuition confirmed the skull as Jia Xun’s.

"Jia Xun, what exactly do you know?"

"And why are you doing this?"

Su Tu pondered silently in his heart, yet all remained obscured by a mist, the entanglements running too deeply, even Inference of Heaven unable to deduce everything.

Only by taking step after step to the end can he glimpse the full picture.

Contemplating this, Su Tu crouched down, focusing on the carved Stone Fish on the ground, his eyes narrowing unconsciously.

Far too many strange events were occurring here, such as the sudden outbreak of power from Lin Long earlier.

Others might assume it was Lin Long’s ace, but Su Tu recognized the essence of that power; it was...

Su Tu extended his fingertip, a radiant glow emerging, exploding like scattered stars at his fingertip.

This force was remarkably similar to the one from Lin Long earlier, just that Su Tu’s power was more potent and enigmatic.

"Star River Divine Power."

"What appeared on Lin Long earlier was the Star River Divine Power."

Su Tu spoke quietly, a tremor coursing through his inner world.

Star River Divine Power is, indeed, Divine Power, born only after creating one’s own unique Star River within oneself.

Though formidable, employing this power is extremely challenging.

"Even I cannot fully harness this power now, yet he unleashed it, using lifespan as cause and effect, and it remains insufficient."

"Moreover, he hasn’t constructed an internal Star River; this power wasn’t cultivated by him."

Su Tu recalled every detail from Lin Long earlier.

He was confident this Star River Divine Power was not cultivated by Lin Long.

"Could a deity have already awakened and bestowed blessings upon him?"

This thought was immediately dismissed by Su Tu, for if a deity were involved, as a Godslayer, he would have sensed it long ago,

But if not a deity’s blessing, then what...

As Su Tu pondered, his gaze unintentionally lingered on the other scattered prodigy corpses on the ground.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if realizing something.

"The one known as World Light intercepted all races outside; with his strength, no one could enter unless he allowed it. He was deliberately filtering, intentionally letting certain people through."

"Apart from strength, there must be something common among them."

Su Tu spoke, and then his eyes trembled slightly as the Eye of Cause and Effect activated; in an instant, an infinite web of connections appeared.

Indeed, the causes and effects on these prodigies did not wither upon their death but continued upward, spiraling, intertwining until forming an incredibly bizarre... tree.

Su Tu’s voice held unusual shock as he spoke solemnly.

"Cause and Effect of Godhood..."
