God of Pets-Chapter 709: The Road to the Summit

Chen Guan's actions this time have not found an opportunity to absorb energy; his level remains at 54.

However, he is not in a hurry. With Creation World at his side, advancing to level 60 is only a matter of time. He can already begin preparing for the Seventh Awakening.

What kind of Secret Law can be awakened in the Seventh Awakening typically depends on three major factors.

The first is personal talent, similar to Lifebound Talent, where one's genes play a crucial role.

But unlike a Lifebound Talent purely reliant on personal genes, Secret Law is not purely determined by genes.

Therefore, the second condition is the cultivation of Secret Techniques and one's understanding of them.

Previously, Chen Guan found it difficult to upgrade, yet reluctant to change his Secret Technique, because he wanted to complete the Seventh Awakening with the Secret Technique of One to see what kind of Secret Law could be awakened.

Of course, the influence of Secret Technique on Secret Law only accounts for one third.

The remaining one third depends on one's own intuition.

However, intuition doesn't come from nowhere; even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice, and a person cannot imagine something abstract that they've never seen before.

So, to comprehend, there needs to be a foundation.

This foundation doesn't come from truth, nor does it require a real insight like awakening the Second Secret Collection.

Rather than comprehension, it's more like a moment of clarity or even an imagination.

No need for logical roots, nor profound reasoning, not even necessary to follow objective rules.

Once there was a Grotto Heaven Powerhouse, who experienced a moment of clarity during his Seventh Awakening just by seeing a fruit tree full of fruits, suddenly thinking how wonderful it would be if those fruits were Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Who knew, at that moment, he awakened, receiving the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures Planter Secret Law. Any tree he planted, even an ordinary fruit tree, would bear Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Because of him, Divine Land was stirred greatly, as he initially didn't realize the seriousness of the issue and revealed his Secret Law to his wife, who then spread it further.

Later, the Ten Great Families sought him out, wanting to vie for this cultivator.

This cultivator eventually vanished, and the matter was never mentioned again, presumably because he died.

For individuals like him, the Ten Great Families would never give up, nor would they tolerate him joining another family; thus, when his Secret Law leaked and he was incapable of protecting himself, his fate was sealed.

Most people keep their Secret Laws confidential; first, to prevent others from having ideas, and second, enemies ignorant of one's Secret Law gain considerable advantage in battle.

Chen Guan has recently been contemplating what kind of Secret Law he should possess.

Although moments of clarity are indeed hard to control, there are precedents for controlling them.

Someone once deliberately thought of an idea, then obsessively focused on it, eventually succeeding in the Seventh Awakening with the awakened Secret Law relating to that idea.

This method gradually gained popularity, with each of the Ten Great Families busy researching it; all explorations are based on the creation from obsessions.

Chen Guan doesn't want to gamble on what kind of Secret Law he might receive, so he intends to conceive a strong idea first, then attempt to transform it into an obsession, eventually awakening a Secret Law related to it.

But since moments of clarity only account for one third of the reasons forming a Secret Law, even a Secret Law related to this idea wouldn't precisely align with his expectations, only reducing the chances of obtaining a worthless Secret Law.

Chen Guan considered whether to acquire a Secret Law that can kill with a glance, such that as long as his eyes can see someone, that person must die.

Combined with Empty Leaf, that means if I see you, you die; if I can't see you, you still die, making me invincible.

But upon reconsidering, this Secret Law is uncontrollable. What if I accidentally glance at my close friends and relatives? That would be disastrous.

Moreover, a Secret Law cannot appear exactly as conceived, and if it develops negatively, that would be catastrophic.

Imagine from seeing someone and they die, it changes to seeing someone and they get pregnant; Chen Guan would be devastated.

This is entirely possible, as one's genes are uncontrollable, and there's no precedent for how the Secret Technique of One affects the Secret Law, leading to high randomness.

Therefore, Chen Guan needs to seize this only controllable point and come up with a good idea. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"If I call out someone's name, that person will die—how about this? In the future, when facing an enemy, I'll shout out, 'I call your name—do you dare answer?'" Chen Guan thought about this with a bit of excitement.

But then he dismissed the idea; what if in a moment of sentiment, he calls out a lover's name—tragic.

"Coming up with an idea is indeed difficult." After leaving the Grotto Heaven, Chen Guan intended to return to Purple Sun City to check if there were any affairs, lest the Gong Family ambush him like last time, catching him unprepared.

Luckily, this time there truly was no issue, but to Chen Guan's surprise, Jin Taohua had left and returned to Abyss City.

Chen Guan received a letter from Jin Taohua, which read: "Neither you nor I conform to fate, I cannot take you as my world, nor you take me as yours. It's difficult to maintain lasting harmony as ordinary people do. Rather than ending in a rivalry, it's better if heaven separates us, allowing each to find our own peace."

"Your development with Purple Sun City has provided me much enlightenment. I wish to go on my path, to develop Abyss City into a power not inferior to Purple Sun City, making the Ten Great Families hesitate to covet Abyss City. When we meet again, perhaps you'll call me Queen."

"Of course, it's also possible we may never meet again. When Abyss City rises, it may be my time to ascend Great Cave Heaven."

"During my time with you, I've gained clarity. Rather than living like this, it's better to, like you, abandon everything to embrace my true self, even if Great Cave Heaven is a mountain of blades and sea of flames, I will carve out a world there. I wish to stand atop Celestial Void Palace, to tread the Gong Family into the inferno, and then ask King of Palace if he ever regrets..."

Between these messages, Chen Guan seemed to see Jin Taohua's unrestrained spirit.

"The stars should shine in the heavens, not hidden under rooftops." Chen Guan raised a hand and ignited a flame, burning the letter to ashes, letting the drifting ash fall outside the window.

He also desires to go to Great Cave Heaven; without the Ninth Awakening, it's difficult to ascend the pinnacle. To rule the world with one word, one must be the sole person on that summit observing the world below.
