Chapter 1034
The First God Appears
And it's unclear whether it's just Li Xiao's imagination.
The moment Chu Xuan connected with this terrifyingly large giant, he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.
It was as if something he had been enduring for a long time had temporarily disappeared.
Of course, this kind of relaxation is a feeling on a mental level.
After all, Chu Xuan maintained the same expression throughout, without any change in demeanor.
Chen Zilong stands on the shoulders of this giant.
This unusual height inevitably brought back some unpleasant memories for him.
"The old folks used to say that if the sky fell, someone tall would hold it up, and sure enough, a tall person actually appeared."
After shaking his head, he called out to the side:
"So, Colonel Chu, is this why you've never been worried about the First God?"
Chu Xuan's voice rang out from the giant's mouth.
"No, I didn't anticipate that we would have such a long preparation time."
"This body is something I conceived after I learned about the raw materials of the Supreme God."
"It is also the strongest existence I can create in a short period of time."
Upon hearing that the enormous creature before him was merely something Chu Xuan had created on the spot.
They were all speechless with astonishment.
Zhao Yingkong looked at the outside of this enormous body, or more precisely, at the Fire Source Cores that were embedded in the outside in a matrix.
This scene looks so much like the giant robots at the end of the last horror movie.
No, this being is even stronger than them.
"I'm very curious, is this half-mechanical, half-flesh body controlled by you, Deep Blue, or perhaps a mechanical life form transformed from the Megatron Fire Seed?"
The enormous head twisted, looking at Li Xiao, who appeared somewhat small due to the distance, and replied:
"The crystal spark source and those external energy cores on the limbs only provide energy for this body. I did not consume their fundamental energy to transform any metal machinery."
"So as long as they are not completely depleted, they can recover on their own."
"As for Deep Blue, he is just cooperating with me. You can think of him as a brain extension, replacing me in processing the chronic information in this body. I am the one who truly controls this body."
"To be more precise, it's about us who have used neural interaction devices to achieve synesthesia."
Seventy percent of its bald, enormous head was covered in mechanical metal, with only the back of the head and the eye sockets showing any flesh.
However, this flesh and blood was not like human flesh and blood; it was white and devoid of any color.
It's even more like some kind of brain tissue.
"Zhu Wen, try to see if you can possess this body."
Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment when she heard Chu Xuan's words, but she still walked closer and closed her eyes.
However, Zhu Wen was far inferior to this giant who was now on par with the first God.
It's like an ant versus an elephant.
So Zhu Wen quickly shook her head to indicate that it wouldn't work.
Chu Xuan was not surprised at all, after all, this was an experiment that was optional.
Li Xiao then spoke again:
"Honestly, you look more like the first god than that one on top of your head."
Chu Xuan raised one hand and looked at the rapidly changing mechanical metal of the mechanical hand, as well as the spark core that was gradually lighting up on the joints.
"The title 'God' has never been a specific designation."
"Instead, it's a descriptive term in a broad sense..."
As Chu Xuan spoke, he moved both arms at the same time.
From the very first one or two spark cores, to the end when all the cores embedded in the giant's body lit up.
"The connection is complete. Moss can release the support frame and adjust the spark source input power to maximum."
Issue commands at will.
The mechanical skeleton behind the giant began to break apart layer by layer.
The tower-like structure began to collapse and shrink under the influence of Moss and Zhang Jie.
Then it was smoothly and silkily fed into the Demon Refining Pot in Li Xiao's hand.
In the end, only this huge figure, still moving its body, remained in this open space.
From initially being stiff, he eventually moved and jumped like a normal person, all within ten minutes.
It must be said that Chu Xuan is a true genius.
However, Li Xiao could tell that this was the limit of what he could do.
After all, what we have in front of us is just a temporary experimental prototype.
Yes, a test subject exclusively for Chu Xuan.
After a series of complex movements, the enormous figure returned to its position opposite the first main god.
"That's all I can do for now. Now, a ten-minute countdown is in progress. In ten minutes, I will take out the map and awaken the one above my head."
After hearing Chu Xuan's words and clearing the area, Li Xiao, Zhang Jie, and the others entered the recovery formation and began cultivating.
In any case, I did feel quite drained just now.
Moreover, judging from Chu Xuan's serious expression, it's obvious that a fierce battle is about to unfold.
After his body recovered to its peak, Lingdian took the sniper rifle and walked outside.
After reaching the very edge of this continent, they jumped onto a high platform made of metal, built within the lava.
This was something Chu Xuan had casually created in just one minute.
Creating a body that can withstand lava is difficult, but creating a support structure is quite simple.
Saito led Evelyn, O'Connor, Eric, Guo Ming, and Jonathan to the very edge of the floating island.
As for Ziyuan and Imhotep, they chose to stay and help.
Although Saito Hajime didn't want to admit it, these two were indeed much stronger than him now.
Imhotep, who even possessed the Bible of the Dead, had, to some extent, reached the level of a key player for the Middle-earth team.
Through the battle between Zhang Jie and Li Xiao in the previous God Space, Saito Hajime understood a fact.
That means there are some battles they don't even have the right to watch.
You might just kill yourself by looking at it.
However, everyone still had a pair of binoculars, and Moss even thoughtfully set up cameras around them.
It can broadcast the upcoming battle in real time.
After all, curiosity is something that people can't suppress on their own.
Evelyn and the others already knew from Li Xiao that there was an enemy inside the sphere of light above their heads.
This enemy formed a barrier to prevent them from entering, and also trapped the Dragon Emperor to prevent them from leaving.
That's why they're trapped on this continent, caught in a dilemma.
Li Xiao and his team's mission is to defeat this unknown and powerful enemy.
Subsequently, at Chu Xuan's suggestion, Zhu Wen directly possessed Zhang Jie, who was a spiritual power user.
This caused Zhang Jie, who had been looking relaxed, to close his eyes for the first time.
This is because it's the first time he's been amplified by Zhu Wen since his resurrection.
It was also the first time he had felt the terror of his own mental power.
We learned our lesson last time.
Zhang Jie grasped the golden wheel directly.
The silver wheel hovered directly above the sphere of light, its purpose all too clear.
Chen Zilong sat cross-legged on the giant's shoulder, with his iron rod lying across his lap, his face serious.
Cheng Xiao was sucking on a pacifier, leaning against the attic, a very close spot.
Once the restriction is lifted, he will be the first one to enter.
Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong stood opposite Zhang Jie.
The three people stood in a triangular formation, with the first chief god above their heads.
Ten minutes were up.
A yellowed, tattered map appeared out of nowhere on this floating continent.
As the map appeared at this specific location, the previously still silver light began to extend outwards at an extremely fast speed, as if receiving some kind of command.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire continent, including Evelyn and her group on the edge.
Of course, there were also Imhotep and Shion, who were positioned at the front and originally wanted to lend a hand.
Their entire bodies were frozen in place, enveloped in a silvery glow.
It was as if time had stood still.
However, Cheng Xiao and Li Xiao, who were among the recent ones, were completely omitted.
When the silver light disappeared again.
The Zhongzhou team then realized that this thing seemed to only react to characters in the story.
Before they could even figure out what was going on...
A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out from somewhere.
The sound echoed across this suspended continent.
"Descendants of yellow skin, this battle is merely a test of your ability to protect the legacy left to you by your ancestors."
"If you are not strong enough, you will all die here until the next batch of people with yellow skin arrives and the mission starts again..."
"The next battle trial is simple; you only need to eliminate the first god: Hao Yi."
"Using the blueprint of the first god, we cultivators and saints have created a total of thirty-four main god spaces..."
"Except for a few main god spaces that are relatively large..."
"Besides serving as the last refuge when humanity is on the verge of extinction, other main god spaces will be opened up as places for reincarnation trials..."
"The first generation of God Hao Yi also possessed the initial ability of a main god to control energy, but of course, it was only a preliminary grasp."
"His creation was achieved by us cultivators providing the life-form manufacturing technology, and the sages providing the energy operation technology... The genetic similarity of his physical form to ours is 99%."
"These beings are also the consumables on the front lines when we fight those beings... of course, for the sake of your strength..."
"We will not fully unleash the power of the First God. Hao only retains a defensive type of spiritual light and does not possess a combat evolution state..."
"Okay, that's all for now."
"Once you break through Hao Yi's defenses and eliminate him, the Three Pure Ones' Dao Light shrouding the pavilion will disappear, and everything inside will be yours."
"Later generations must remember: never force your way into the pavilion. Otherwise, the restriction will completely break out, and everything within a radius of ten thousand miles will be annihilated except for Hao Yi's spiritual light. At the same time, this horror movie will come to a complete end and start anew."
"Also, the use of props for flying is prohibited in the Floating Pavilion, but one's own abilities and jumping will not be restricted."
"Characters in the story will also be frozen, unable to move within the Three Pure Ones Daoguang, but will not be injured."
"This is to prevent you from relying on external things to achieve victory. Remember that external things and others are not the way to last. Cultivation itself is the fundamental thing."
"You'd better watch yourselves, descendants of the yellow-skinned race. I've said enough. You must not tarnish the reputation of our lineage of cultivators... The three human races must not allow their leadership to be taken away... Remember, remember..."
Perhaps due to time constraints, even the messages left by cultivators in the Suspended Pavilion appeared intermittent.
However, the members of the Zhongzhou team understood one thing.
That means Imhotep and Shion are now in a state of absolute safety.
At least we don't have to worry about them in the upcoming battles.
This is a piece of good news amidst the bad news.
When that grand sound ended.
The sphere of light above the attic finally reacted, and the light it emitted began to slowly shrink.
Not long after.
The originally dazzling white light above gradually dimmed, revealing a blurry black shadow within.
Chen Zilong, perched on the giant's shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this scene.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's as we just said."
"This Hao Yi is not the complete form. His combat evolution ability has been sealed, leaving only the Light of the Mind for defense."
Cheng Xiao nodded: "Although we don't know what the Light of the Soul is, it should be a good thing."
"Gentlemen, get ready."
Moss's voice rang out from the AI.
The two then turned their gaze to the distance.
The huge ball of light that was originally above Li Xiao and the other two has now turned into a white sphere that is forty or fifty meters tall.
Moreover, its height was gradually decreasing as the light contracted.
Finally, as they reached the ground, the light above them completely disappeared.
Cheng Xiao was surprised to see this scene:
"Is this what the Supreme God truly looks like?"
Actually, it wasn't just Cheng Xiao.
Everyone who witnessed the changes had the same thought.
The enormous, unchanging sphere of light in the Main God Space is actually just a white sphere about forty or fifty meters tall?
However, the changes are not over yet.
The light completely disappeared, and the white sphere on the ground began to wriggle little by little.
At first glance, it looks like an egg about to hatch.
Or perhaps there's a creature inside trying to break free.
Zhang Jie, shocked by the increasingly intense "struggle," exclaimed:
"Isn't this a bit off?"
Is this the proper procedure?
Li Xiao shook his head blankly:
"I don't know if it's legitimate or not, but I know the guy inside is about to come out!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie's expression changed from shock back to calm.
One by one, white dots of light formed from spiritual energy began to appear.
After speaking, Li Xiao put away the black sword and then held the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, preparing for the possible war to come.
"As planned, Moss, you make the first move to test the waters!"
A silver figure appeared behind Li Xiao, transforming from an illusion into reality.
The white film mutated and grew larger and larger, until a small piece in sight was torn apart.
No sign.
A straight beam of red light streaked across the sky.
It hit the being that had just broken free of its restraints and whose outline was still unclear.
However, the result of this test was no surprise, unlike anything before.
Ripples began to appear in layers in the air.
Moss's most powerful attack was blocked at a distance of ten meters.
Upon witnessing this, Zhang Jie exclaimed, "Holy crap, this level of telekinesis!!"
Before Zhang Jie could continue speaking...
Perhaps he was provoked by Moss's attack.
The top of the white giant egg suddenly cracked open, making a tearing sound.
Two strange, enormous hands emerged from it, and then exerted force once more.
The entire white giant egg broke apart from the inside, splitting into two halves.
And the Zhongzhou team finally saw their enemy this time.
This is a humanoid monster that is about forty meters tall.
The monster's skin was pale purple all over.
It is a special substance that is similar to a metal but is not a metal at all.
Moreover, there was an extremely bright white spot of light on His chest.
It's just that the light is too bright to see what the actual point of light looks like.
And I don't know why.
Upon seeing the appearance and form of this first god, they instinctively wanted to turn around and glance at Chu Xuan behind them.
Because their first thought was, "Aren't these two things a little too similar?"
Regardless of the design, or the thing on the chest that's still unclear... (End of Chapter)
