Chapter 142: The Gods Enter

Under the mysterious night sky filled with radiant starlight.

Gunie sat quietly in meditation.

"Breathe in... breathe out..."

After a long exhale, Gunie slowly opened his eyes.

Then, Gunie looked down at the enormous crystal glass tree beneath him, and then gazed at the nine stable channels of destructive energy in the distance.

Vaguely, Gunie could already sense a little.

"Two years, that's enough."

Rubbing his palm slightly, a smile curled at the corner of Gunie's mouth.

During these two years of secluded cultivation, Gunie had made tremendous progress.

The foremost was naturally Gunie's own realm.

Two years ago, Gunie had reincarnated, and his realm had fallen to the early demigod stage.

But now.

Gunie's own realm had already cultivated to the late demigod level.

On one hand, this benefited from the precious fruits Gunie had stored that could quickly elevate the demigod realm.

On the other hand, it was due to the nourishment from the mysterious starlight here.

The combination of these two factors allowed Gunie to advance to the late demigod level in just two years.

Compared to the improvement in realm.

Gunie's insights into the Arcane had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

And during these two years of comprehending the Arcane.

Gunie gradually discovered the differences between himself and others in Arcane comprehension.

First, generally speaking, the further one goes in Arcane comprehension, the closer one gets to the talent ceiling, the slower the efficiency becomes.

One might even get stuck at many bottlenecks, then stop progressing, and ultimately halt at that level.

Gunie, on the contrary, was the opposite.

Gunie's extraordinary talent, after repeated reincarnations, had already become terrifyingly exaggerated.

Gunie's comprehension progress was also very fast.

As he cultivated, with the gradual deepening of his three Arcane insights, reaching the level of a triple-realm divine spirit, logically, Arcane comprehension should slow down.

Not only did Gunie not feel his comprehension efficiency slow down, but it actually became faster.

Yes, Gunie's efficiency in comprehending the Arcane was getting faster and faster. Even when his realm did not improve, during normal comprehension, he found his efficiency increasing.

Moreover, it seemed that no Arcane bottleneck could block Gunie.

When he was stuck at a certain node in comprehending the Arcane of Destruction, Gunie would turn to comprehend the Arcane of Darkness.

After some time, when he came back to comprehend the Arcane of Destruction, Gunie would find it easy to break through that node and then rapidly advance further.

And as for the Arcane of the World, which was like a world's favored Arcane.

Gunie had never been stuck on it. As a perfect fit for the world's favored Arcane.

At any powerful Arcane node bottleneck, Gunie would correspondingly slow down his comprehension speed, but he would still steadily move forward.

Once that bottleneck was crossed, he would return to the previous efficient rate of comprehension.

Gunie could roughly guess that this peculiarity of his was due to the effect of his Cthulhu embryo prototype.

The Cthulhu embryo, combined with Gunie's own affinity for the Arcane.

This made Gunie's speed in comprehending the Arcane terrifyingly fast.

Now, Gunie could roughly infer that his three Arcane insights combined were probably comparable to those of some powerful quadruple-realm divine spirits.

The improvement in realm.

The comprehension of the Arcane.

Both aspects had improved greatly.

As for the three Cthulhu scriptures that were being cultivated passively, although their levels had not increased much.

Their power had also undergone a qualitative leap compared to before.

After all, a single advancement at a high level was equivalent to two or even three advancements at a low level. The further one went, the more terrifying the power of the Cthulhu scriptures became.

The three Cthulhu scriptures were now all at level nine.

Their power had reached a new level compared to when they were at level seven.

Combined with Gunie's current improvements in Arcane and realm.

Even against powerful quadruple-realm divine spirits, Gunie was not too afraid.

After some thought, Gunie surveyed the nine channels around him briefly.

"It should be starting soon, but there's still some time."

Then, Gunie calmed his mind and began to condense his runes.

The Secret Crossing Rune, Holy Shadow Rune, and Heavy Curse Rune no longer needed to be condensed.

Now, Gunie needed to condense the "Demonization Rune."

The more Demonization Runes, the faster Gunie's Cthulhu embryo would grow.

Previously, Gunie did not need Demonization Runes.

But now, with more and more flesh of the Dominator, it was clearly necessary to strengthen the Demonization Runes to accelerate the growth efficiency of his Cthulhu embryo.

As Gunie condensed, one Demonization Rune after another began to form within his body.

The eleventh.

The twelfth.

...

With each condensation, Gunie could feel that the cosmic momentum within him was richer than before, and the scouring speed had increased by about twenty percent.

After about a day and a night.

Gunie slowly opened his eyes and stopped condensing Demonization Runes.

At this moment, Gunie already had a full sixteen Demonization Runes within him.

With the addition of the sixteenth Demonization Rune, the scouring speed of Gunie's Cthulhu embryo was now three times what it was before.

Of course, more importantly, the concentration of cosmic momentum within him was higher.

This would also make Gunie's Cthulhu embryo grow stronger.

"Hmm?"

Gunie sensed something and looked toward the distant ray annihilation channel.

After staring for a moment, Gunie withdrew his gaze.

"The energy has started to decay."

"Once it decays completely, the gods will enter."

"With my current strength, I can basically follow one channel and fight my way out directly."

With this thought, Gunie leaped and flew downward toward the many crystal glass trees below.

Arriving beside a fruit about two meters in diameter, like a small sun.

Gunie's Arcane of the World bloomed, directly collecting it into his system space.

As soon as Gunie collected that fruit, he immediately felt the energy decay in one of the nine channels accelerate.

The energy that would have taken an hour to decay now, with him collecting the fruit.

Would probably decay in ten minutes.

"So touching these fruits does cause changes in the channel energy."

"Good thing I didn't mess with these fruits earlier, or I'd have taken them but not lived to enjoy them."

Gunie's figure flickered repeatedly, and in an instant, all nine energy fruits were collected into his pack.

Then Gunie quickly flew away along the channel he had entered from.

At the same time.

When the energy channels began to decay sharply.

Outside the nine channels, the many gods stationed there all looked toward the channels filled with annihilation energy.

Each was eager to act.

Once the annihilation energy decayed to a level they could withstand, they would definitely rush in immediately.

A few minutes later.

When the powerful annihilation energy had decayed to a certain extent.

Outside the nine channels, a total of six powerful quadruple-realm divine spirits rushed in along the channels at high speed.

A few minutes later, the second wave, a large number of triple-realm divine spirits, poured in.

Then a large number of double-realm divine spirits entered.

Then single-realm divine spirits entered.

A massive influx of gods surged into this Cthulhu channel, and inevitably, it would be a bloody battle.

Just as Gunie had anticipated.

When the first batch of quadruple-realm divine spirits entered the core of the Cthulhu channel and saw the enormous crystal glass tree.

They all sensed that this crystal glass tree was born from the remains of a Cthulhu creature.

But they saw no fruits or anything like that.

Instinctively, they concluded that this crystal glass tree was a supreme treasure.

After all, the invisible energy barrier was protecting this massive tree.

If that wasn't a treasure, what was?

Immediately, the first batch of quadruple-realm divine spirits who entered began to fight fiercely among themselves.

Only by killing the others could they have the exclusive right to enjoy this mysterious crystal tree.

Thus, a brutal and bloody war among the gods began.

For a moment, terrifying divine power fluctuations surged violently in the region of the crystal glass tree.
