A hundred years later.

Earth had undergone vast changes after a hundred years.

From an earlier population of thirty million, it had grown to three hundred million.

From one city, it had expanded to twenty cities.

Watchman City, a city built in the icy wilderness.

Given the planet’s vast, sparsely populated condition, habitable regions were not only capable of housing everyone but were also very spacious, making the construction of this particular city rather strange.

However, the local residents didn’t see it that way.

Because Watchman City was a special city, a city guarding the War God!

The Kola Superdeep Well was located around this city!

This city had a special department —a job considered by the residents of Watchman City as steady, safe, and well-paying, it was a Well Explorer!

Although Watchman City also had mines for resource extraction, the job of a Well Explorer was not to prospect for minerals, but to observe the Kola Superdeep Well into which the War God had entered.

That day, as per usual, members of the well exploring department were leisurely sitting on chairs, watching shows, eating snacks.

“Beep beep!”

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

The previously leisurely staff froze.

Over the years, they had never heard an alarm ring here.

However, quickly, a team leader reacted, “This alarm… it means there’s a situation at the Kola Superdeep Well!”

After finishing speaking, he operated hastily, displaying the situation inside the Kola Superdeep Well on the big screen.

The screen displayed an image of a humanoid giant, lying underground.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, the humanoid giant began to dissolve, blending into the surrounding environment.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise but did not know what to do. A hundred years had passed, and no one had told them what to do in such an emergency.

Soon the humanoid figure completely disappeared from the screen, and the detection equipment showed a blank white, the color of the soil!

“Where… where is the giant?”

They were stunned!

Some old-timers who had worked there for a lifetime were so shocked they couldn’t speak.

“Nevermind that, let’s report it first!”

The team leader wise enough not to think too much, quickly reported the situation to the higher-ups.

In the sky above Watchman City, a fifty-meter-long ship was hovering 500 meters above the ground.

The pedestrians walking below seemed oblivious to it, as though it wasn’t there at all.

Inside the ship, a handsome young man was observing the pedestrians and buildings on the ground through a transparent wall.

“I can’t believe they actually built a city here!”

This man was Du Gang. He had successfully inherited the Ancient God’s legacy and had become a true Ancient God.

In addition to possessing the Ancient God’s soul and power, he had also cultivated the Ancient God Technique and the Source Suppression Technique to the first level.

This meant that any mental attack of Meteorite-level was ineffective against him!

Similarly, this also implied that he didn’t need to spend a considerable amount of time transferring Meteorite-level powerhouses into the deep core of the sun anymore…

He now possessed the power to slay Meteorite-level powerhouses!

The bot beside him, Balala, asked, “Should I jump to the Purple Orchid Kingdom now?”

“No, wait a moment!” Du Gang shook his head.

When he woke up, Balala had already informed him of the prepared plan.

The plan was to use the powerful detection device on the Ancient God ship to scan for relics or valuable mineral deposits in the universe, then proceed to seize them or earn money.

Balala frowned, “Master, our time is precious. You must remember, after your foster father disappeared, and no one can supply you with energy, and if you want to advance in the future, you can only depend on yourself…”

Du Gang waved his hand and laughed, “It’s okay. I already have a fourth-rank body. When I have cultivated the Ancient God Technique and the Source

Suppression Technique to the third or fourth level, I will consider it then…”

But Balala was very serious, ‘Master, you probably don’t realize how much energy is required for an Ancient God to advance…”

“If a regular person requires one unit of energy to evolve from Meteorite-level to Comet-level, then an Ancient God would need ten thousand units of energy to progress from Meteorite-level to Comet-level…”

“Ten thousand?” Du Gang was startled, then laughed, “That doesn’t sound like much…”

Balala interrupted, “This is just an example I gave, and that’s just from Meteorite-level to Comet-level. In fact, the more Ancient Gods advance, the more energy they need!”

“Considering that your body is currently at the peak of the fourth-rank, if a regular person needed one unit of energy to advance to the Stellar Level, then you would need at least a hundred million units of energy, or more!”

Du Gang was shocked, “That much?”

“What else? Did you think the phrase ‘Ancient Gods being invincible at the same rank’ was a joke?”

“If you don’t cultivate a habit of collecting treasures, it will be challenging to make progress later!”

Curious, Du Gang asked, “Did you and my foster father collect treasures on your way from the center of the universe?”

He knew from the inheritance that Ancient Gods usually had to pass down their legacy one on one.

For example, if two Ancient Gods had a child, the child would still be a regular person. To become an Ancient God, one of the two Ancient Gods must transmit their inheritance at the cost of their own life.

So, in reality, Du Gang took the inheritance which was meant for Du Kang’s hypothetical son, although he didn’t have one…

In the same way, after he received the inheritance, Balala wanted him to recognize Du Kang as his foster father.

After Du Gang found out that Du Kang was over ten million years old, he decided outright to recognize Du Kang as his foster father. The man was older than the ancestors of human beings on Earth. Recognizing him as his foster father would instantaneously elevate his status among other families… Moreover, the name Du Kang was identical to his natural father’s. Given the significant legacy he bestowed upon him, a name change wasn’t a problem at all.

Hearing how Du Gang referred to Du Kang, Barabara seemed genuinely pleased. She looked at him kindly and chuckled, “Exactly, we have been on countless adventures and seized many opportunities…”

However, her expression quickly fell, “But when we came to the Milky Way

Empire, our former master…”

Seeing her distressed, Du Gang comforted, “Don’t worry, I will avenge him!”

Barabara’s expression immediately brightened, and she nodded, “Yes, I believe in you…”

“The ruins located within the Purple Orchid Kingdom will open in three months. I think you should scout it out first…”

Du Gang grinned, “I know, but after all, I was raised on Earth. Let me say goodbye to them first, then I’ll head there!”

After he finished speaking, the spaceship disappeared from the sky above Watchman City. When it reappeared, it was already above the City of Fallen Gods.

The City of Fallen Gods truly resembled a sprawling metropolis in the cosmos, brimming with state-of-the-art technology while cars filled the skies.

Still, just like before, their spaceship remained cloaked. No one was able to see it, and no equipment was able to detect them.

Observing the cars passing them by without noticing, Du Gang asked, “Barabara, once we arrive at the Purple Orchid Kingdom, can our spaceship still remain invisible like it is now?”

“Not necessarily. The Purple Orchid Kingdom has Planet Level elites.

Therefore, there should be some D-level spaceships in the kingdom as well.

Accordingly, there will be counter-cloaking technologies…”

“When the Ancient God was initially built, the primary emphasis was on enhancing its ability to detect ruins, with its cloaking merely a supplementary function. Actually, it’s fairly weak and can’t always remain unseen! ”

Hearing her talk about the ship’s rank, Du Gang curiously asked, “You mentioned before that the Ancient God is a one-star C-rank spacecraft. Exactly how good is that?”

Barabara immediately beamed with pride, “A one-star C-rank spaceship is no trivial matter. A conventional one can cross a hundred thousand light-years distance at once and can withstand an attack from a cosmic level power…”

“Moreover, as long as the ship’s core isn’t more than fifty percent damaged, it can recover autonomously by absorbing energy…”

“In addition, the Ancient God is equipped with an ultra-powerful device to detect ruins, far exceeding what is found on typical spaceships of its rank.

Anything with active fluctuational ruins below the cosmic level, it can detect!”

Du Gang had heard her talk about ruins before. They usually came from either a fallen powerhouse or a preventative measure put in place by a powerhouse on the verge of falling to save their legacy. They not only contained this legacy but also some valuable items.

Apart from these, there are also natural ruins. According to Barabara, the universe never stopped growing, continuously nurturing new things. Some treasures were born naturally with the universe.

All along the way, Du Kang was primarily looking for these naturally-born treasures. Of course, if there happened to be ruins of powerful beings, he would take the energy that he could use.

Du Gang excitedly asked, “So, can the weapons equipped on our spaceship kill a Stellar Level being?

He had learned that a spaceship like this, capable of withstanding a cosmic level attack, could unleash an attack comparable to the Stellar Level.

Barabara chuckled, “A standard one-star C-rank spaceship indeed possesses a weapon capable of dealing a Stellar Level attack. However, the Ancient God does not!”

“Think about it, the old master had already achieved invincibility at the Stellar Level. Why would he need to arm the spaceship?

“Alright!”

Disappointed, Du Gang casually asked, “How much does a standard one-star

C-rank spaceship usually cost?”

Barabara grinned, “Let me estimate based on the currency of the Milky Way Empire… it would be worth at least ten billion Galaxy Coins, and that’s if it’s even on the market!”

“You should know the Milky Way Empire can’t produce this kind of spaceship.

Each one that comes in from outside is purchased at a high price…”

As she spoke, she projected an image of a fifty-meter spaceship resembling the Ancient God. “This is the last standard one-star C-rank spaceship that came into the Milky Way Empire. It was auctioned off for five hundred billion Galaxy Coins!”

Barabara proudly stated, “The Ancient God is worth much more than a standard one-star C-rank spaceship. If our ship were to be auctioned in the Milky Way Empire, it would be worth at least five trillion Galaxy Coins!” “Five Trillion Galaxy Coins…” Du Gang muttered.

Galaxy Coins are obviously the currency of the Milky Way Empire and must be quite valuable. The Ancient God was sold for five trillion Galaxy Coins.

He asked, “What’s the exchange rate between Galaxy Coins and Purple Orchid Coins?”

Baralala raised his chin even higher, “Empire, kingdom, duchy, the general exchange rate is calculated at one to ten thousand!”

“One Galaxy Coin is equivalent to a hundred million Purple Orchid Coins!” “What?!” Du Gang’s jaw almost dropped.

“Doesn’t that mean the Ancient God is worth five quadrillion Purple Orchid

Coins?!!”

“Correct!”

Listening to this certain response, Du Gang muttered, “If we were to sell the

Ancient God, wouldn’t we…”

“Shut up, I’m not allowing you to sell the Ancient God!” Baralala suddenly halted Du Gang’s words in fierce anger, shouting out loud.

He looked at the overly reactive Baralala, utterly baffled.

This guy claimed to be intelligent, but he had a temper too?!!

However, he cleared his throat and quickly assured, “I was just speculating, we won’t sell, we won’t sell!”

He truly was just speculating. After all, such a thing was rare and extremely precious. After all, this ship can detect remnants of the universe-class level and below.

It was comparable to a hen that lays eggs. You can’t just sell it off!

Furthermore, the Ancient God could travel a distance of a hundred thousand light years in a single journey. In the future, he would need it if he wanted to leave the Milky Way Galaxy.

Given the vast distance of tens of thousands of light years between galaxies, without a ship of this caliber, there could be no long-distance interstellar travel.

Moreover, from what he understood, this universe was larger than the 93 billion light years in diameter previously measured on Earth.

So, getting to the center of the universe, was a big issue!

He certainly didn’t have the patience, like Du Kang, to drift from the center of the universe to the outskirts over tens of millions of years.

However, until he found a better spaceship, the Ancient God was indeed his most important asset!

Feeling guilty, Du Gang did not linger on this topic and instead released his mental power, reaching out towards the headquarters of the Earth Alliance.

After obtaining the Soul of the Ancient God, even though he only practiced one defensive technique: Dominating Origin, he was still able to master the skill of mental detection.

Exploring the federation’s headquarters just a few thousand meters away was naturally very easy.

But something unexpected happened. The moment he released his mental detection, a stronger wave of mental power instantly blocked him.

At the same time, a wave of mental power spread out.

“Who dares to snoop around the Earth Alliance headquarters?!”

Du Gang was stunned. His meteorite-level mental power was actually blocked?

The next second, the owner of that mental power traced back along his mental wave, seeking him out.

Seeing this, Du Gang didn’t shield his own mental waves, instead, he jumped out of the spaceship and faced the outside.

When he saw the intruder’s face, he was taken aback, “Chu Zixuan?!
