Chapter 97: The Disaster and Benefits of the Eros Source

As the crowd waited.

Others arrived one after another.

After the rulers of the three great empires had all arrived, they flew over to Gune and discussed some matters with him quietly, or asked about certain things.

About two hours later.

Nearly thirty divine messenger ancestral spirit powerhouses had all gathered in this Eros Source black hole region.

“Everyone.”

At this moment, Murand’s voice rang out loudly, sweeping across the surroundings.

All the powerhouses, whether engaged in private conversations or resting with their eyes closed in midair, turned to look.

“Since most of the personnel have arrived, it’s about time we discuss the corresponding countermeasures.”

The many powerhouses gathered closer.

Then Murand looked at the Grand Duke of the Black Jade Empire, “Ades Castro.”

Ades Castro nodded slightly, cleared his throat, and began to speak slowly.

“Regarding the Eros Source black hole passage, many have already attempted to attack it before, but the passage is entirely an intangible existence; basically any attack has no effect.”

“The method of attacking to destroy it is essentially unfeasible.”

“For now, it seems we can only establish defensive positions to resist.”

“However, this invasion of Eros Source creatures is both a crisis and an opportunity.”

“You may not know this, but during this period, based on the information our Black Jade Empire’s several powerhouses probed from the depths of the souls of those alien starry sky powerhouses who followed the evil gods, and through corresponding spiritualist means, we have obtained very important information.”

Important information?

The many powerhouses immediately looked over.

Ades Castro spoke in a mellow voice: “These Eros Source creatures are themselves very peculiar beings, and I think you are all well aware of their peculiar manifestations.”

“First, they suppress the soul, source power, and physical body in all aspects. If we hadn’t extracted that strange Eros Source gene fluid using divine artifacts, we wouldn’t have been qualified to fight such peculiar and powerful creatures. You should all have understood this before.”

“Second, and this is a very important point—one of the reasons those evil gods have lingered in our world—is that these Eros Source creatures possess a very magical ‘energy core.’”

“If we kill them and obtain the energy core, and then absorb it into our bodies, we ourselves will gain a very peculiar ‘breakthrough trait.’”

Breakthrough trait?

Everyone secretly pondered the abilities related to this breakthrough trait.

“Could it be that this breakthrough trait allows us to easily break through the barriers of each realm?” someone joked at this moment.

“Eto’o, you’ve hit the mark this time. Indeed, the energy core of these Eros Source creatures provides a powerful breakthrough ability, allowing us to easily break through and advance when we are stuck in our cultivation.”

Hearing this, the many powerhouses were startled.

“Such a trait? That’s too heaven-defying!”

“Let us break through easily? Did I hear that right?”

“The path of cultivation is extremely difficult; even treasures from large transcendent worlds can’t let us break through easily. That these peculiar Eros Source creatures can let us break through easily is simply unbelievable!”

Everyone began discussing among themselves.

In the crowd, Gune stood quietly.

Gune had already learned of this news.

At this moment, Gune was not particularly surprised by this information.

For Gune, breaking through was not really that difficult.

For Gune, the system’s idle cultivation kept him in a perfect state of training.

Moreover, the idle cultivation system had already raised the level of his core cultivation manual, “The Dusk Star Source Codex,” to as high as level nine, and it was not far from level ten.

With such a high level, Gune had no worries about advancement at all.

The higher the level, the easier the breakthrough—this was also a benefit of idle cultivation.

A powerful manual of such a high level was enough to give Gune a high probability of advancing to godhood.

Coupled with Gune’s ability to reincarnate and transform all negative states, this meant Gune never had to worry about any negative states affecting him on his cultivation path.

The core energy of these Eros Source creatures could be obtained, but it was not necessary.

Of course, this was only for Gune.

But for the many powerhouses of the Oya Continent,

the treasures of these Eros Source creatures were extremely important magical gems.

Most of them were trapped at layer after layer of realm barriers, unable to break through.

Without the help of external treasures, they would most likely be forever stuck at that realm.

And now, with such magical treasures to help them break through layer by layer, advancing to demigod or even godhood was entirely possible.

Of course, exactly what realm they could reach in subsequent cultivation would depend on the level of the so-called Eros Source creature’s energy core.

But regardless, even a single realm improvement would be excellent for everyone.

After all, no one would complain about being too strong.

However, Gune knew that the breakthrough effect was likely very strong.

Otherwise, those evil gods would not have waited so long on the Oya Continent.

Even though the world’s origin was sealed and they could barely absorb it, they were unwilling to leave.

Gune understood better than these people that the appearance of these Eros Source creatures came entirely from outside, and it was possible that their breakthrough effect was quite astonishing.

“Once I get one later, I can study it carefully.”

“I myself used fruits to forcibly raise my realm, so my foundation is relatively unstable. Having reached the peak of the third transcendent realm, I can’t continue to advance in a short time. To advance to the fourth rank, I have to reincarnate to eliminate all drawbacks.”

“If I use that energy core to help me break through to the fourth rank, and then reincarnate at the peak of the fourth rank, the effect would obviously be better than reincarnating at the peak of the third rank, and it would also save some time.”

Amid the discussions, Gune was also secretly pondering the traits of these Eros Source creatures and the upcoming “Qiyuan creatures.”

The arrival of the Qiyuan demons.

Their corpses built the abyss, giving birth to demons.

Their physical material form surpassed all conventional forms of life.

For example, if Gune’s soul source core shattered, he would also die.

But demons would not.

With a wisp of soul or a small piece of flesh, they could absorb energy and return to their peak strength.

Then came the arrival of the insect race, whose descendants gave rise to many powerful insect creatures.

Their achievements in the soul were truly terrifying.

The connection between their souls was entirely transcendent.

Ignoring spatial distance, even if the distance was extremely far, they could perfectly control things.

They could also interweave souls for information transmission and exchange, which was very efficient.

Almost every insect creature, as soon as it was born, could have its soul contain vast amounts of information, and then use that information along with energy and matter to quickly grow into an experienced, battle-hardened, ruthless, and powerful insect warrior.

And the arrival of mechanical life brought an entirely new life form.

They were different from any other form of life.

Moreover, their bodies brought a new form of “living metal” to the entire world.

Living metal could absorb source power to repair itself.

No other metal had this property.

This was a kind of extraordinary substance that completely surpassed ordinary understanding.

To some extent, it was quite unreasonable.

And what would these newly arrived Eros Source creatures and the even more powerful Qiyuan creatures be?

“Judging by this energy core that helps with breakthroughs, could it be a peculiar creature that allows rapid advancement?” Gune thought to himself.

“If so, that would be too unsolvable.”

“It would be better to let those silly players come over! Let them experience what despair in a Cthulhu world is like.” Gune thought maliciously.

“But as for what exactly it is, we’ll have to wait until they actually arrive to know.”

“From this trait of rapid breakthroughs, we can still get a glimpse: if these Eros Source creatures are left unchecked, there will definitely be no good outcome.”
