My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 659 - 606 Bai Suo: Nokron Must Die

"Why is he stepping down?" Minshan was somewhat surprised.

She thought carefully, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. When darkness falls, who can escape?

Eventually, one has to compete.

However, after seizing Nokron's opportunity, can he rise again this time?

Recently, Nokron seems to be hunting down various Innate Ancient Gods, collecting seats. Does he intend to absorb them all at once? That's impossible.

If a person can merge several layers, it's already a path that has been refined countless times. Absorbing them all would surely lead to self-destruction.

"Forget it, I can't even protect myself. If I get the chance, I'll help a bit."

Minshan sighed deeply. Although she felt guilty for seizing the opportunity, if given another chance, she would still take it.

Her mindset was like some kind of reborn protagonist, seizing the fated protagonist's opportunities to rise from an underdog.

Who would be reborn just to live a mediocre life like a saint?

She even abandoned her daughter!

The daughter was an accident; her husband was her true love.

"Everyone, my time is running out. Wait for me to live my next life." Minshan, though powerful as a Postnatal Divine King, was showing signs of extreme aging.

She was already a Fifth Layer Ancient God, holding four Celestial Dao Divine Artifacts resembling "air conditioner remotes," each representing an Innate Ancient God.

The Innate Authorities she seized would naturally not be handed over to others to re-prove another Innate Ancient God.

She developed a Dharma Artifact race, allowing them to become Innate Ancient Gods, holding these "Innate Ancient God Token Remotes," and with a press in the air, she could shut down opponents' authorities at will.

Words Become Law, this is the Celestial Dao Divine Artifact!

According to Minshan's theory, the three thousand Innate Ancient Gods being lively was problematic.

These living ones engage in all sorts of misdeeds, chaotic and unruly; it would be better to turn them into Three Thousand Innate Tao Artifacts. Holding the Three Thousand Tao Artifacts allows one to master these Great Tao Laws.

But her aesthetic still needed improvement.

Ordinarily, the style of Celestial Dao Authority Artifacts tends to lean towards the Flame Divine Staff, Glacial Robe, Carbon-Based Code, or Nuclear Explosion Holy Sword, which appear more aesthetically pleasing.

Yet she made them all into air conditioner remotes, each with several buttons.

Click!

She pressed four remotes, pointing at her body, and swiftly shut down her body's four authorities, as a layer of shell gradually peeled away.

A shadow slowly emerged.

This eerie, terrifying Demon Remains emanated chaotic pressure, intertwining four terrifying authority auras, far stronger than Minshan, who only had one authority remaining.

"Ugh!" With a low groan, that sinister female figure attempted to attack people around like a beast.

"Off!" Minshan again grabbed the four remotes, shutting down her retreated remnant, which instantly dissipated into a gust of sand.

"Congratulations to the Divine King on eliminating the Demon Remains and living out the next life!!"

Voices around her were incessant.

Minshan shook her head, feeling her body becoming weak again:

"For now, it's okay. But if the future gets scarier, doing the Sixth Layer, Seventh Layer... I might not react fast enough. Before I can shut down its authority, it might take away my four Celestial Dao Divine Artifacts."

Her words made everyone subtly change color.

Minshan added, "All of you, be the Path Guardian, while this Divine King recuperates, recovering the Dao injuries within myself, and re-cultivating back to the previous realm."

"Yes!" The surrounding Postnatal Ancient Gods all nodded.

They adhered to her word because Minshan held not just these four Great Tao Divine Artifacts; she had stormed the heavens and captured hundreds of Innate Ancient God Token Remotes.

These Postnatal Ancient Gods practiced such techniques.

So even though she became extremely weak, these powerful Postnatal Ancient Gods dared not act rashly.

...

Spit.

Nokron spat out a mouthful of blood and wiped it with a handkerchief.

The four auras within his body collided chaotically, letting him finally experience the Emperor's delight of spitting blood to a point of habit.

"The Sixth Layer Heaven—Is my aptitude just this limited?"

Minshan's Fifth Layer Heaven foundation comprised five harmonious authorities, perfectly integrated. But as for him?

He withstood it with sheer force!

The powers were not harmonized, as six authorities clashed wildly.

But for him...

Normal people, not to mention spitting blood, would likely die quickly if even two or three authorities clashed.

Nokron's hand also held a keychain.

Each key represented an authority he had collected after defeating them all these years and putting their authorities into these dolls.

"Air conditioner remotes don't fit well. Keys are just right as backdoor keys to initiate this code database."

He had hunted and gathered over seventy keys.

That keychain, clanking as it dangled, even resembled that of a landlord with rented rooms, walking with a loud jingling.

Another thirty years passed.

In cultivation, time matters not. People used their methods to refine Celestial Dao Divine Artifacts.

Thus, the era of Innate Ancient Gods fully disappeared, giving way to the era of Three Thousand Innate Law Divine Artifacts.

However, this Origin Continent era also thoroughly blossomed.

The beings on the Ancient Tree all fled underground in secret, though two point eight billion people wasn't much. However, in the heavens, one day is equivalent to five thousand years underground.

In these thirty years in the heavens, countless transformations in time and tide occurred underground.

"Is this the world outside?"

"Oh heavens, that's the Origin Ancient Tree!"

In each small All Heavens World, leaving the interconnected corridors, breaking ground, they ascended to the Upper Realm, with populations surging dramatically and creating various Immortal Dynasties to ward off strange and malevolent forces.

Smaller Immortal Dynasties or Immortal Countries could possess a few Innate Tao Artifacts, while larger entities such as the Minshan Dynasty might control hundreds of Great Tao Divine Artifacts.

This is an era of prosperity.

Li Qing continues harvesting... one punch for each little friend.

He continually destroys those Prehistoric Universe's Natural Cosmic Membranes.

He traversed numerous Divine Dynasties, Immortal Countries, even places like the Ancient Gods' realm and Minshan's Dynasty, and in his hands, the Cosmic Membrane's 50% reserves felt like they've been reduced by 40% or more.

What remains, apart from scattered strategic reserves, is likely heavily stored in the two Divine King's hands.

This life goes on comfortably.

It seems like donning this disguise can completely overthrow both major powers, and they haven't noticed a thing yet.

If the remaining 10% held by White Shuttle and Dark Fan is destroyed as well, how could they ever compete?

The two have been silently observing the era, biding their time, yet regardless of any incredible trump cards, power, or skills they have, without the support of the Membrane, they are like rootless duckweed.

"I need to plan for the military reserves held by the Dark Fan Divine King and the White Shuttle Divine King..."

"Meanwhile, perhaps I could further modify these keys, turning them into Dragon Scales to form an Innate Great Tao Ancient Dragon?"

He continued to ponder, preparing to further manipulate the two major Cosmic organizations and completely close the net.

Yes, it's best to add a few more layers of disguise to ensnare them.

...

Meanwhile, in another place.

The desolate and silent Origin Ancient Tree.

Dark Fan Divine King sat fishing on Nokron's branches, fishing through the heavens.

Previously, he was fishing one Crystal Wall World after another; now, it's fishing within microscopic particles under the trees, becoming much more microscopic.

That fishing line needed a microscope to observe.

"Nokron seems to enjoy life. This fish pond is nice... is he really the era's main character? It seems so, but sadly, Minshan took him over."

Dark Fan Divine King sighed.

The three thousand Ancient Gods, and two point eight billion wise ones, all had escaped, and he truly did not intervene.

Natural selection, the survival of the fittest... they cannot protect them forever, and people must be self-reliant; those who cannot keep up with the times just get eliminated.

Minshan was indeed a threshold, filtering through her people.

Yet he does not know that this natural selection, the one secretly attacking them, was not a natural filter at all.

"In the future era, I wonder—" Before Dark Fan Divine King could finish speaking, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Boom!

A curvature suddenly tore open in the chaotic void.

A crystalline white mecha emerged from a distant future, traveling back through time, severely damaged, its armor shattered, roaring with unprecedented fury, "Nokron, for the future of the Cosmos, you must die!!!"

Nokron: "?"
