Chapter 92: The Path of Cthulhu

"The first wave of eruption?" Gune raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes, the Eros beings are merely insignificant forces, but they will still deliver a devastating blow to many transcendent worlds."

"When those truly terrifying Primordial beings descend again,"

"even gods will be easily slain." Andrew looked at Gune and explained.

"Then I must cultivate as quickly as possible, to become a god, or even a higher god-ruler." Gune said.

When Gune said this, Andrew laughed.

"No..."

"You don't need to become a god; you need to become a Dominator, then an Old One, and then a higher Star-Elder God."

"Become a Dominator?" Gune looked at Andrew and shook his head.

"Senior Andrew, I have no idea how to become a Dominator."

Andrew's massive body leaned forward slightly, the gaze deep within his enormous eyes focusing on Gune.

This made Gune feel an invisible pressure.

"Such an ignorant little one."

"You already have a Cthulhu embryo within you, though you don't know it. And it's a very peculiar Cthulhu embryo." Andrew said softly.

"Ah!"

Gune was startled.

"Me, a Cthulhu embryo?"

"Yes, 'Cosmic Potential' has already been born within you, and you can perfectly bear it. Clearly, the embryo has formed." Andrew said gently.

"What flows in your veins is 'Cosmic Potential.' I think you should have felt it."

At Andrew's words, Gune suddenly understood.

"It's the peculiar effect after ten demonic runes. So this is Cosmic Potential?"

"Cosmic Potential has a door, a door that can be opened. If you feel carefully, you can perceive it. Then, by using Cosmic Potential to absorb the remains of Dominators of the same nature, you can slowly let your Cthulhu embryo grow." Andrew explained.

"Cosmic Potential, the door, the growth of the Cthulhu embryo." Gune pondered all this.

After a moment, Gune looked at Andrew again.

"By using Cosmic Potential to absorb those Dominator remains, I can become a Cthulhu creature?"

"It's absorbing the remains of Dominators of the same nature. Absorbing those of different natures will weaken your embryo, turning you into a deformed Cthulhu species—powerful, but unable to gain eternal life."

"Remains of the same nature, true Cthulhu species."

Gune gradually suppressed the ripples of emotion surging within him.

Unknowingly, as Gune grew, the dawn of the goal he pursued had already begun to bloom upon him.

"Remains of the same nature—meaning the flesh and blood of a Dominator that can nurture my own Cthulhu power?" Gune asked Andrew.

"Yes." Andrew replied.

These words made Gune fall into a brief contemplation.

After all, the reason Gune could possess the commonality of that Dominator's flesh and blood was naturally due to the absorption and transformation of its characteristics through reincarnation.

"If I touch more Dominator flesh and blood and then transform it, then..."

"I will have a very, very large number of commonalities."

"Deformed changes don't exist for me; reincarnation allows me to adapt to all different Cthulhu power characteristics."

"In the long run..."

Gune already understood how his future path would unfold.

Thus, there was only one problem left.

That was how Gune could obtain more Dominator remains.

The Oya Continent certainly had a fair amount, but these quantities of Dominator remains would soon be found by Gune using the Cthulhu Compass and then all taken into his possession.

But Gune knew that this amount of Dominator flesh and blood was definitely not enough.

Gune needed the flesh, blood, and remains of more powerful Old Ones, and even Star-Elder Gods.

"Soon, the first wave of Eros beings will erupt." Andrew spoke again.

"Then there will be a second wave, and even a third. The interval, in your terms, is a few decades."

"You still have some time, but it's not ample."

"Therefore, you need to grow as quickly as possible."

"The remains of the Cthulhu creatures that nurtured you and me have partly dissipated in many places."

"But a large part has been placed by those powerful beings on the 'Emok Ancient God Mountain' in Saint Haigar."

"Emok Ancient God Mountain?" Gune's heart stirred.

Gune naturally knew about Emok Ancient God Mountain—it was the most dangerous place in all of Saint Haigar.

Located in the deepest part of the Ancient God Sea, at the center of the three territories: 'Okamu,' 'Shenggele,' and 'Zilumo.'

The top god-ruler nations and countless god nations on the three continents all send powerful beings to 'Emok Ancient God Mountain.'

There, one not only has the chance to achieve supreme god-ruler status,

but can also acquire the bizarre and mysterious powers of Cthulhu creatures.

Moreover, one can obtain some Dominator bloodlines, even those of Old Ones and Ancient Gods.

At the same time, there are also 'World-Class Mysterious Items' that countless people desire.

In short, Emok Ancient God Mountain is a dangerous place hiding endless treasures.

The birth of many ruler gods is related to Emok Ancient God Mountain.

Too many powerful beings gather there, and even gods can die easily.

After all, the competition and slaughter there are extremely brutal.

Basically, once discovered, if the gap in strength is too great, there is almost no chance of survival.

"Senior Andrew, are there many Dominator remains at Emok Ancient God Mountain?"

"Not a few." Andrew replied.

"And there are also a certain number of remains of Old Ones and Ancient Gods there."

"After the battle with the mechanical beings ended,"

"some proposed using Cthulhu remains to nurture new Cthulhu creatures, thereby strengthening ourselves. That place is a breeding ground."

"Emok Ancient God Mountain is such a breeding ground."

"At the same time, Emok Ancient God Mountain... is also the origin point of disaster."

"The origin point of disaster? Like the place where the Eros being near our world appeared?"

"Yes." Andrew nodded, waving his tentacles.

"But the origin point of the Eros being in your world is just a small place, while the origin point at Emok Ancient God Mountain is the truly dangerous one."

"When your strength reaches a certain level, you need to go to Emok Ancient God Mountain to seek things useful to you, and then seize the opportunity to become a powerful Dominator creature."

"But remember, because of the disagreements among Cthulhu creatures,"

"there have long been different factional divisions among them."

"Some believe that Cthulhu creatures should unite, even using the dead of their kind to nurture new ones."

"Others believe that powerful Cthulhu should devour and absorb weak Cthulhu of the same nature to strengthen themselves."

"Therefore, among Cthulhu creatures, there are hunters who even instruct those ruler gods to constantly investigate the locations of other Cthulhu creatures and then hunt them."

"And that's why I hide in such a deep place."

"Similarly, many other Dominators who are not very powerful also hide in various corners."

"They are all afraid of being killed."

"And you, as the Nightmare Lord." Andrew looked gently at Gune.

Gune's little trick naturally couldn't fool him.

He could clearly sense that the so-called Nightmare Lord was just Gune himself.

"You also need to be careful, because some have already noticed this so-called Nightmare Lord."

"If they truly find you, then... the hunt will follow."

"Even after becoming a Cthulhu creature, you must still be cautious. After all, in the Cthulhu creature system, there are strong and weak. The weak being eaten by the strong to strengthen themselves is nothing unusual."

These words put Gune on alert.

His original idea of expanding toward Saint Haigar was immediately extinguished.

"To promote the Nightmare Lord in Saint Haigar would be nothing short of seeking death." Gune thought to himself.

"What you truly need to do is to continuously grow your strength and secretly become a powerful Cthulhu creature." Andrew's voice came softly.

"Senior Andrew!" After pondering for a moment, Gune asked softly.

"Then when will the first wave of Eros beings erupt?"

"In terms of your world's time, it should be in about two or three years."

Andrew gave a detailed response.

"Two or three years—enough for my strength to advance further." Gune thought to himself.
