[The Jin Biao mini world, evolved over 1.3 billion years from the inner world of the now deceased True God, Jin Biao…]
After the explanation from the orb of light, Du Gang finally understood the nature of the world he was standing on.
It was a mini-world known as Jin Biao. Jin Biao was a True God from 1.3 billion years ago who had since died.
After his death, his inner world receded into the void, effectively hiding itself.
This kind of inner world, once it retreats into the void, acts like a six-digit password – to enter, the correct password must be entered. For those who do not know the password, the chances of randomly entering correctly are one in a million, making it extremely challenging.
In fact, the coordinates in the void are even more complex, much more difficult to decipher than a six-digit password, possibly as complicated as a sixteen-digit password, or even a thirty-six-digit one, with the difficulty exponentially increasing.
Mini-worlds like Jin Biao’s tend to only be found in the void when there are fluctuations in spacetime, revealing occasional traces.
A year ago, the mini-world where Jin Biao was located fluctuated, was detected by the outside world, and was thus recorded in the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds by the Heavenly Court.
Du Gang was part of the second wave of arrivals. Prior to him, a group of pioneers had already swept through once.
The so-called pioneers are often very powerful beings, each one being virtually unrivaled among their ranks.
In a mini-world like this, the strongest combat power is at the God Spirit level peak. This means that the God Spirit class who went the first time were among the peak powerhouses there.
The power of the pioneers this time was obviously very strong, as they have managed to gather quite a bit of intelligence and even killed some of the local powerhouses.
“Within Jin Biao’s mini-world, there are seven main gods. Three of them were killed by the pioneers, with the remaining four going into hiding…”
Du Gang looked over the information thoughtfully,”Main Gods, undoubtedly, are at the God Spirit level, and should be nine tribulation God Spirits in cultivation…”
“Below the main gods are regular gods, roughly over a hundred in number. According to the information provided by the pioneers, these regular gods are also at the God Spirit level, but most are only at the initial and middle stages of God Spirit…”
“Huh…according to the orb of light, despite this mini-world not having formed any major pathways, it does possess the will of the world…”
“For this mission, I will be destroying this mini-world’s will of the world…”
He continued skimming through the relevant information,”Under normal circumstances, the will of the world is very naive and cannot utilize its own power effectively…”
“It cannot directly impart its power to the strongest individuals in the world. Instead, it can only give its power to the child of destiny who is most in tune with the major pathways…”
Du Gang couldn’t help but smile at this line.
“The so-called children of destiny are often still not fully grown. It’s probably similar this time!”
“My task is not to kill the four God Spirit level peak main gods. My task is simply to find the legendary child of destiny and then kill them!”
Du Gang conducted a careful inspection and didn’t take his situation lightly. After a while, he managed to figure it out.
“The main difficulties now are as follows: first, find the person, namely, the child of destiny; second, guard against the pursuit of the four main gods…”
“For them, I’m indeed an invader, and although the will of the world may not directly assist them, it should provide my location to them…”
The reason he knew he would be pursued by the main gods was because the orb had given him a hint, that the Heavenly Court would award him with a bonus of cloak aura once every hour.
This implied that the will of the world would track him using this method, and while the will of the world would not attack him directly, it would likely send the four main gods into action.
“The third point is, after finding the child of destiny, I need to be wary of the power of the world’s will!”
Du Gang himself also possessed an inner world and knew the immense power that controlling an entire world could yield.
Though this world’s will could not directly control the world to attack him, it would still be perfectly capable of creating a few coincidences.
“In short, it’s better to be cautious!”
At this moment, Du Gang stood within a transparent sphere of light. Below his feet lay Jin Biao’s mini-world, situated in the void.
“Orb of light, I’m ready. I can now enter…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice from the orb of light chimed in.
[Please wait for a moment…]
Wait?
Du Gang was taken aback but then realized that it was likely because entering the mini world would take some time!
Indeed, at this exact moment, a strand of purple light that the orb represented was shining from the transparent sphere of light, faintly falling into the mini-world below.
Meanwhile, there was a blue light from the mini-world’s side, entrusted to resist the invading purple light.
However, it was blatantly obvious that the purple light, though weak, was very powerful. Its speed of penetration was fast. In no time, it sank several hundred meters. However, the mini world was thick, and there was quite a distance left before it could completely penetrate, which probably required about four to five minutes.
Just as he thought he would have to wait four to five minutes to enter the mini-world, suddenly, a flash of white light shimmered not far from him in the sphere of light, and then a figure appeared the next second.
“Who is it?!!”
Du Gang got a fright and instinctively thought it was a main god from Jin Biao’s mini-world. While stepping back, he clutched the golden light in his hand, ready to attack at any moment.
“Huh?”
The newcomer was a young man in white clothes. He looked surprised for a second but quickly laughed, “Friend, we’re on the same side!”
Seeing that Du Gang had not put down his guard, he raised both his hands to show he was unarmed. He then continued, “I’m just like you, a warrior of the Heavenly Court!”
After the explanation, Du Gang realized that this person was, like him, sent by the Heavenly Court as well.
He had thought it was just him on this mission, but there turned out to be a teammate!
Besides…
“Warrior of the Heavenly Court??”
Du Gang had an ominous feeling.
The young man in white laughed, “Warrior of the Heavenly Court is how we refer to ourselves, Gods fighting for the Heavenly Court…”
As expected…
Du Gang felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth. He had thought he would never hear this title again, but here he was being called a warrior again. Even though it is a general term, it still felt strange!
“I’m Lan Zhize, and this is my second mission…”
Seeing Du Gang’s confusion, he chuckled, “I can tell that this is your first time here!”
Du Gang didn’t hide it. His reactions had already given him away. He nodded, “Correct, it’s my first time here!”
Lan Zhize grinned, “I could tell. Also, the order of entrance for each mission is usually based on the number of world missions previously completed…”
Du Gang quickly caught the key point and frowned. “Are you saying more people will be coming?”
“Absolutely!”
Lan Zhize nodded affirmatively. He smiled and explained, “When the Heavenly Court side invades a mini-world, opening the path typically takes about ten minutes. Typically, those who enter first are the ones who have completed the least world missions…”
“Last time I was on a mission, I had the same reaction as you. I was also frightened by the second person who showed up!”
While the two were talking, there was another flash of white light, and a man dressed in tight black clothes and a black veil over his head appeared in the middle of the field.
Upon his arrival, the man in black glanced coldly at the two of them and walked towards a corner without any interest in interacting with them.
Looking at the newcomer’s outfit, Du Gang furrowed his brow.
He had forgotten to hide his identity!
Lan Zhize on the side just chuckled. He said, “Whether you hide your identity or not doesn’t really matter. The Northern Plains is huge. We’re just at the God Spirit level. Chances are, we may never even cross paths in our lifetime…”
Northern Plains?
Du Gang’s face was unchanging, but his heart suddenly fluttered.
Is it true or false?
Is he testing me?
Du Gang’s pair of eyes closely studied Lan Zhize, trying to discern any irregularities.
Unfortunately, he was unable to perceive anything unusual, the way he spoke was very normal and natural.
Does that mean he really is from the Northern Plains?
Moreover, he entered from the Northern Plains?
Du Gang, upon contemplating this, inadvertently asked, “Which part of the Northern Plains are you from?”
Lan Zhize surprisingly gave Du Gang a curious look, “Don’t you know about my Lan Family?”
This time, it was Du Gang’s turn to be dumbfounded. Could the Lan Family be some extraordinarily remarkable clan?
He coughed, embarrassedly saying: “I’m an independent cultivator, previously I practiced with an old beggar…”
“Old beggar?”
Lan Zhize furrowed his brows, “Is there anyone in the Northern Plains who does not know about the Lan Family?”
“And you followed the old beggar…”
Suddenly, as if remembering something in the midst of his musings, he looked at Du Gang with disbelief, his body visibly shuddering.
“The old beggar you speak of, could he be Hong Qi Gong, the missing leader of the Beggars’ Guild?”
Beggars’ Guild?
Hong Qi Gong?
Du Gang was stunned.
However, he quickly recovered.
Reflecting on all the novels and movies he had seen, they must truly exist, and their power would be even more formidable!
Because, only if they are powerful enough they would be able to trace across the heavens, making the Ten Thousand Worlds circulate their legends.
Although these legends have different versions, without exception, they all circulate!
“Uh, I don’t know either!”
Du Gang shook his head, “The master never told me his name…”
Helpless, he could only pretend, let others think he was also from the Northern Plains, which could also be considered a disguise!
After all, as Lan Zhize said, the entire continent is vast with a population in the billions, they may never meet in reality if they do not exchange information.
Hearing him say this, Lan Zhize genuinely thought he might be his disciple.
Because, only that person would have the leisure to do something like this.
Taking advantage of the moment, Du Gang asked: “What are Hong Qi Gong and the Beggars’ Guild you mentioned?”
Lan Zhize chuckled, asking: “Do you know the forty-five major powers in the world?”
Du Gang nodded, “Yes, in addition to these, there are also the top hundred god clans and the thousand king clans…”
Lan Zhize nodded, laughing: “It’s easy to explain as long as you know, the forty-five major powers are the most prominent forces spread across the entire continent. Yet beneath them, there are forces that are not weak…
“Like the Beggars’ Guild, it is equally spread across the entire continent, and every open city has the presence of the Beggars’ Guild…”
“However, the reason why this guild is famous is not because all of the members they recruit are ordinary people…”
Hearing this, Du Gang was taken aback, “Ordinary people?”
However, he quickly realized that everyone below the God Spirit Level could be considered ordinary people.
But are there really people who can’t afford food and have to beg?
As if seeing his inner thoughts, Lan Zhize laughed: “They are not really begging, they do it to cultivate!”
“Similar to the Buddhist and Taoist cultivation of the heart, they also temper themselves in the mundane world, but their method is begging…”
Lan Zhize chuckled: “The Beggars’ Guild is famous because their influence is widespread. Basically, they have people on all five continents. However, they are relatively scattered, one of the reasons is their guild leader Hong Qi Gong, who is like a dragon without a head, rarely managing the guild…”
“The Hong Qi Gong I mentioned earlier is a God King, and not just an ordinary God King…”
Seeing Du Gang engrossed, he began talking incessantly, spilling everything he knew, “I heard from my clan that this Hong Qi Gong is a pinnacle powerhouse among the God Kings said to be only a step away from sagehood…”
As he was speaking, he seemed to finally remember something and asked: “By the way, what’s your name?”
Finally remembered to ask my name?!!
As early as when he was preparing to hide his identity, Du Gang had been quietly pondering on his alias while waiting for this guy to ask.
However, this guy just kept talking without giving him a chance to introduce himself.
“Ahem!”
Du Gang coughed, calmly replying: “I’m called Ye Bufan!”
Perhaps feeling that his introduction was too mundane, he added, “I’ve forgotten my previous name. My master said that I was born extraordinary, and that I landed beneath a fallen leaf, so he named me Ye Bufan!”
Born extraordinary!
Lan Zhize was momentarily speechless, then he suddenly realized: “Looking at it this way, your master might really be Hong Qi Gong!”
He laughed: “It is said that elder Hong Qi Gong specializes in training young disciples without regard to bloodline or birth, he just looks at their talents…”
“This is one of the reasons why he is greatly admired…”
He looked at Du Gang with envy and said: “I heard that Hong Qi Gong has seven Supreme Techniques, seven closed-door disciples have already been accepted, and each wields a Supreme Technique…”
“If you’re the eighth disciple…you might have been taught all seven…”
He didn’t continue speaking, but instead looked at Du Gang with anticipation, as if waiting for his confirmation.
On the other side, a man in black robes who had been previously resting with closed eyes opened them out of curiosity and looked at Du Gang.
Although he didn’t want to interact with the two, he had not closed off his senses and had heard all their conversation carefully.
Du Gang didn’t respond.
How would I know?
If it’s true, that would be really great!
Seven Supreme Techniques, and furthermore, a top-level God King, what a big backer!
Just then, the white light inside the light shield flickered again, numerous cherry blossoms suddenly opened, and a fairy with intoxicating fragrance descended from the sky.
This is the fourth God of War from the Heavenly Court!
