In the center of Sky Abyss City, at the top of a skyscraper that pierces the clouds, a young man dressed in gray casual wear with long black hair entered Gabriel's "office."
Even a heavenly king-level expert couldn't help but pause at the sight.
Standing in the white light, Gabriel revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes: “Chen Chu, your cultivation level…”
Chen Chu smiled as he explained, “Didn’t I exchange for a lot of Divine-level resources earlier? After absorbing them, I broke through to the late stage of the ninth level of heaven.”
It sounded reasonable; after all, it was only normal for one's cultivation level to rise significantly after absorbing and refining a pile of Divine-level and even laws-level resources.
Normal? Not at all!
This was the ninth level of heaven, where one had already begun on the Path to Godhood. If high-level experts could simply stack resources to improve their cultivation, the Human Race would have produced numerous high-level experts by now.
Not to mention the vast territories and countless resources controlled by the infernal demon race.
However, it wasn't unacceptable for Chen Chu to go from the early stage to the late stage of the ninth level of heaven in just half a month.
After all, this was a genius who had cultivated to the ninth level of heaven in under a year and could even challenge a demon king in the early stages of the ninth level. He was even more exaggerated than the prodigy from over a decade ago.
Then Chen Chu stated his purpose for coming: “Throne, I received a distress signal from a classmate in the alliance of deities. I'm planning to go check it out.”
As a key focus of the federation as a civilizational heir, Chen Chu held a higher status than ordinary kings within the federation. If he needed to leave or go anywhere, he had to report to the local authority.
In simple terms, it was just a formality, and if he went over, there would be top experts watching him, such as the third councilor, the Primordial True King, stationed in the external expansion department.
“Going to the alliance of deities regarding the Gonado Ruins,” Gabriel said, surprised.
“You know about this?” Chen Chu paused, his eyes showing a hint of inquiry.
He had only received the distress signal from An Fuqing, which was related to the ruins called Gonado, but due to a lack of signal, the information transmitted was not detailed enough.
Gabriel nodded slightly: “A few days ago, I had a high-level meeting with Shen Xiao and others from the external expansion department to discuss this matter.”
“Recently, in the chaotic ancient region of the central alliance of deities, a world within the Gonado ruins has opened. One of our Human Race members has entered with a relic token.”
“At present, the entrance to that ruin is held by various races, competing daily for relic tokens that drop from the ruins, waiting for the second passage to open.”
“By the way, the first person to enter is someone you know, named Li Hao.”
Li Hao? Chen Chu was a bit surprised.
This guy had entered the mythical world before him and seemed to have gone to the external expansion department's station, belonging to the 30th legion. He didn't expect to have ventured deep into the alliance of deities after a few months.
Gabriel continued, “That world within the ruins is related to an ancient civilization, and entry has strength restrictions, only allowing life forms under thirty life cycle markers (thirty years old) to enter.”
“In other words, the alliance of deities is essentially a power reestablished on the ruins of that civilization, and many alien deities have connections to that civilization.”
“In particular, the strongest being in the alliance of deities, the tarodel god king, is said to have acquired part of that civilization's heritage, allowing him to ascend to the supreme god level.”
“Currently, geniuses from various alien divine realms in the alliance of deities are gathering, and our Human Race has also sent some under thirty years old, with cultivation levels in the eighth and ninth levels of heaven.”
