Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 635 - 496: Pacifying the Forbidden Zones, New Ambitions
But this wave of fear towards the God of Faith did not last long, merely three months later.
A series of figures appeared simultaneously.
"I am a descendant of the Crystal Emperor, here to break through the Ninth Tier and Ninth Layer!"
"I am a friend of the Crystal Emperor, here to break through the Ninth Tier and Ninth Layer!"
...
Five voices continued to echo.
They were the legendary mortal emperors of great talent and strategy, the secret weapons left by the Crystal Emperor.
He knew if he broke through, he might suffer elimination by the celestial Divine Spirits.
Thus, he secretly cultivated successors and entrusted all his foundations to close allies from other allied nations.
His sacrifice paved the way for others.
Boom boom boom!
On this day, five Ninth Tier Ninth Layer individuals unleashed astonishing Power of Laws, rapidly ingesting and breaking through the cosmos.
Then, an incredible scene unfolded.
Each of them absorbed 10% of the cosmic area.
In total, they transformed 50% of this Parallel Virtual Cosmos into their domain.
Evidently.
The five of them intended to join forces to safeguard this cosmos.
Additionally, the entrance bore a slogan of the Crystal Emperor before his fall:
[Mortal Country, Divine Forbidden!]
For a time, the entire surrounding Multi-dimensional Cosmos was in an uproar.
"How bold!"
"They still dare to charge?"
"Do they have a death wish?"
Many secretly marveled at how the Crystal Emperor was truly a hero of his era, truly breaking the dimensional wall to rebel against the celestial Divine!
...
Auction House.
The God of Merchants pondered, "It seems these mortals, as Xibo once feared, have shattered the dimensional wall... aiming to kill him, this god."
Look at it.
Being a king in this era is no easy task.
Back in the day, God frequently faced opposition, now it’s your turn to experience it, Xibo.
God, right there.
Who doesn’t want to Ascend to Divinity? Who doesn’t have a pursuit?
Furthermore, you as a god are not so competent, leading mortals into chaotic warfare.
Being labeled as an Evil God is nothing unusual at all.
Though, this God of Fraud was indeed originally a bad god in the Demon King series.
Magaras also smiled, showing a complex expression, "Mortals have truly strengthened... Divine stopped, truly? Are you involved in this?"
"A little bit."
The God of Merchants chuckled, "But I only supplied some resources."
Magaras wore a peculiar expression.
70% of the hardship Xibo suffered is because of you, right?
Is it any wonder he hates you so much!
"Do they have any inside information?"
Magaras was highly interested in this.
Nowadays, the Ninth Tier refinements have found the correct path, causing a qualitative change in combat power, transforming the cosmos they absorb into their territory.
If Xibo is defeated, it signifies the mortal’s resurgence.
The other gods would start to feel endangered.
The God of Merchants said, "There is some inside information, their grand style is to attract investment, preparing to find 5 capable of breaking through strong individuals!"
"A total of ten strong individuals, occupying 100% of a Parallel Universe, then resisting Xibo’s attack."
Magaras frowned.
Xibo, seems to be faltering.
His aging is quite apparent, while the Divine Object of their opponent... the side effects aren’t that significant.
Not only the God of Longevity can solve it, but many gods can manage it.
For instance, him, Magaras, the God of Time.
With time reversal, regaining youth, couldn’t he solve the side effects?
Magaras could even reverse time to dine, drink tea, and sleep... but wouldn’t spend it on Xibo.
Xibo isn’t even worth a cup of tea.
Clearly, cooperation is possible, but helping you solve the side effects? Magaras simply won’t help!
Otherwise, Xibo wouldn’t have traveled afar to seek out the Longevity God.
In short.
In the eyes of the gods, his aging is not a major issue.
But the problem is, none of the gods want to help him, all watching with cold eyes.
Because him dying aligns with the interests of most gods.
Magaras pondered, "I think your observation was quite accurate, in this new era, a god without resurrection ability has no risk resistance capability." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Xibo spearheaded this era, eliminating many gods.
But he himself, also a god without resurrection ability, isn’t quite suited for this era.
If he acquires a god with survival capabilities, then he would be transformed truly!
He possesses an unparalleled offensive power, and no one is willing to let him gain any more formidable survival strength...
"Just a Mythical Era."
The God of Merchants said calmly, "God Myth, Fate Myth, before us is Faith Myth... we shall observe the changes of his era."
"Indeed."
Magaras’ gaze glimmered.
The undeniable truth is that this Mythical Era needs this Faith God.
The continuous refinement of the Ninth Tier and the anchoring of the Multi-Cosmos Era all require him.
He has his historical mission!
...
In the blink of an eye, another five experts joined in, breaking through the Ninth Tier’s Ninth Layer.
Each one occupied 10% of the territory, forming the entire Cosmos’ map!
Yet at this moment, as everyone prepared to face the attack from the Faith God, Xibo had no intention of attacking them.
Perhaps realizing their tenacity.
Xibo did not attack them, instead, he rallied their citizens and isolated that number 404 Parallel Cosmos.
Turning the other side into a forbidden zone!
Simultaneously, the other side could only remain huddled within its own cosmic domain, fearing to venture out, for once out of its territory, it would be hunted down!
Thus.
A new concept emerged in the Cosmos: Cosmic Prohibition Zone.
Certain cosmoses, for various reasons, were sealed off, forbidden to enter.
Thus fulfilling the Crystal Country’s goal: Divine prohibition.
As the era continued to evolve.
Xibo felt his own aging and sensed the rise of a new era, a feeling that time waits for no one.
"Although I’ve sealed the Crystal Country, I still need new Ninth Tier data."
Even though he previously killed that Crystal Emperor to obtain the remains and data.
But Xibo, being a god himself, valued life above all and would not venture to break through this realm without complete assurance.
He needed more data.
Because he had only one life, could not resurrect, unlike the God and Magaras, those two durable kings who roam freely.
"Too slow, too slow."
"I need to nurture more Ninth Tier Ninth Layers, even if they might become the next Crystal Emperor... again creating a forbidden zone I cannot enter."
But with three thousand universes, the number is large enough, he could accept a few more prohibited zones.
Thus, he began another chaos war.
Wars erupted, countless civilizations frantically launched warfare, soon a second forbidden zone emerged, a third forbidden zone, a fourth forbidden zone...
And then, at this moment.
Xibo finally took that step.
He began to break through the Ninth Tier and all the way climbed through it.
A hundred years later.
"Ninth Tier, Ninth Layer!"
Xibo let out a long cry that resounded throughout the Divine Kingdom.
"Finally, broke through... my lifespan has returned once again!"
He felt his rejuvenated body and his heart was filled with immense joy.
"Just one last layer short, the Ninth Tier Tenth Layer..."
"However, before that, I must first strike those divine prohibition areas!"
"Previously they humiliated me in my old weakness, now rejuvenated, today is their death day."
"Humiliating the Divine will come at a price!"
On this day, Xibo moved out with full force.
Having broken the realm now, the power he managed was even greater.
In just one day, he broke through the Crystal Country prohibition zone.
In an instant, the entire Cosmos was wiped out!
The second day, the third day... every day, a prohibited cosmic zone was eradicated.
The Cosmos once again reverted to an era of bright skies and earth.
"How could it be, vanished so utterly?"
"That was the Crystal Emperor’s kingdom, ten united to guard a cosmos..."
"Divine power cannot be insulted!"
Everyone was in shock and fear, could mortals truly not rise up?
Each of the great prohibition zones, rising and falling like comets, though they had fought with all their might and calculated every possibility to capture a sliver of hope.
Yet couldn’t hold off.
At once, the Faith God’s prestige rose to peak again, all races trembled.
Yet behind the scenes, the aftermath of this glorious battle turned the world upside down.
Xibo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Damn, those mortals, fighting to the death to take a chunk out of me, extensively manipulating various causalities, and again I felt the limits of life."
Xibo was struck by a wisp of fear toward death.
He realized that breaking through the next Ninth Tier’s Tenth Layer would not be easily achieved!
He had already expended such effort on killing the Ninth Tier Ninth Layer.
Should he nourish a world-shattering monster of the Ninth Tier Tenth Layer, swallowing 100% of parallel cosmos to form territory, gods might really be prohibited.
"I need to wait for divine timing."
"Await the birth of the next Divine Object, or perhaps... a godslaying!"
Propped on the throne in the Multi-dimensional Cosmos, Xibo, just like the first generation Demon King Levi once again harbored thoughts of god-slaying.
