Chapter 172: Plundering the Ancient God Mountain

Inside a quiet cave chamber.

Gunie gently opened his eyes.

After his exchange with Andrew, Gunie had roughly formed his plans for the future.

"There is still plenty of time, enough for me to grow strong enough."

"But..."

Gunie looked up, his gaze piercing directly through the endless starry sky above Saint Haigar.

"Continuing to make moves within the Emorko Ancient God Mountain might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I still need to inform these three Cthulhu."

Then, Gunie's divine power stirred slightly.

Extending, extending continuously.

His immense cosmic divine power allowed Gunie's will to spread directly into the endless void above Saint Haigar.

Gunie could sense that in this void,

there existed three powerful Cthulhu.

One was Oflo, who had previously negotiated with Gunie.

The other two were Elder Gods that even Gunie found formidable.

Such beings were far beyond what Gunie could contend with at present.

"Senior Oflo!"

Gunie's voice surged and echoed across the starry sky.

"What is it?"

Oflo's voice gently bloomed.

"As Senior Oflo said before, I will naturally abide by it and not interfere with the actions of the Qiyuan beings in the Ancient God Mountain or Saint Haigar."

"However, I am still weak and need to find more Cthulhu corpses within the Emorko Ancient God Mountain."

After a moment, Oflo's voice came softly.

"No problem. Within the Ancient God Mountain, if you can obtain things, they naturally belong to you."

"But since you are already at the Cthulhu level, do not interfere too much in the matters among the gods."

"I understand."

"When I search for treasures, if those gods do not interfere with me, I naturally will not deliberately kill them."

"But if they try to gang up on me, that's another matter."

"Mm!" Oflo nodded in response.

As a Cthulhu being, it was impossible not to fight back when attacked by those god rulers.

They could restrain Gunie from wantonly slaughtering gods in the Emorko Ancient God Mountain,

but they could not make Gunie take a beating without retaliation—that would be too much.

After the brief negotiation, Gunie withdrew his divine power, and his will slowly dissipated in the cosmic starry sky.

After Gunie's will dissipated,

the three Cthulhu beings began to communicate among themselves.

"As long as he doesn't cause too much trouble in the Ancient God Mountain,"

"we don't need to interfere with him."

"Yes, all we need is peace in this area."

"If we fight, we might even expose our own positions."

"Indeed."

"I will continue to watch him and not let him make too many moves."

After this exchange, the starry sky fell silent once more.

...

"Huff..."

Gunie breathed lightly.

"Being able to continue searching for good things in the Ancient God Mountain is very comfortable."

"In the upper layers of the Emorko Ancient God Mountain, there are the remains of the Emorko Starry Sky Ancient God."

"Perhaps even the abilities of the Emorko Starry Sky Ancient God."

"Besides, in the upper layers of the Ancient God Mountain, there are many Elder Gods, whose power is also of great help to me."

"If I obtain these things and then cultivate in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, I can fully become a powerful Old Dominator, or even a powerful Elder God."

"Let's go!"

Then, without hesitation, Gunie packed up his belongings

and flew toward the upper regions of the Emorko Ancient God Mountain.

...

The highest region of the Emorko Ancient God Mountain

contained many wondrous areas.

The most famous were the [Time Corridor] and the [Saint Haigar Source Sea].

[Saint Haigar Source Sea].

It was said that a powerful Cthulhu Elder God capable of communicating with the century-old source of Saint Haigar lay sleeping there.

This Elder God possessed infinite energy.

Even in death, it could still communicate with the source power of Saint Haigar.

Thus, the entire [Saint Haigar Source Sea] was filled with abundant source energy.

Cultivating here allowed divine beings to absorb the thick source energy of Saint Haigar, using it to strengthen their foundations, divine power, physical bodies, and even repair their deficiencies.

This powerful effect was of great benefit even to many gods.

Naturally, it made many god rulers flock to this place.

Thus, the [Saint Haigar Source Sea] essentially became the exclusive domain of god rulers.

Except for the peak fifth-level experts and fifth-level divine generals from the realms ruled by god rulers,

no other gods were allowed entry.

This place was completely monopolized by a coalition of over a dozen god rulers.

Such a good place,

Gunie naturally would not miss.

Although Gunie did not need the source power of Saint Haigar,

he needed the ability to communicate with the source of high-dimensional superworlds like Saint Haigar.

Once Gunie mastered this ability,

he could easily utilize the energy of any low-level, mid-level, high-level, or even high-dimensional superworld.

Even in the vast cosmic starry sky, he could absorb the source power of the entire universe to recover and enhance his strength.

Compared to the [Saint Haigar Source Sea], the [Time Corridor] was even more remarkable.

[Time Corridor]

It was not constructed by Cthulhu beings.

It was said to be a remnant of the ancient cosmic relic [Cosmic Starry Sky Temple].

A part of it was collected by powerful Cthulhu beings and placed within the Emorko Ancient God Mountain.

The traces of the [Cosmic Starry Sky Temple] could be traced back to the earliest group of Starry Sky Ancient Gods.

When exactly the [Cosmic Starry Sky Temple] appeared and how it came to be, no one knew.

But without a doubt, the [Cosmic Starry Sky Temple] was extraordinarily mysterious.

This made the [Time Corridor] equally extraordinary.

Entering the [Time Corridor], the flow of time increased about threefold.

In other words, inside the Time Corridor, time flowed three times faster than outside.

When Gunie first learned how marvelous the [Time Corridor] was,

he naturally thought of whether his AFK system could operate in the same manner.

After all, three times the speed of the outside world could triple his AFK speed.

But the exact effect would need to be tested by entering the Time Corridor.

Besides the accelerated time flow,

the [Time Corridor] also contained a small amount of cosmic force washing through it.

Cultivating in the [Time Corridor] allowed one to slowly increase their cosmic force through the cosmic force wash.

One can imagine how fierce the competition was here.

It was said that the many god rulers of Saint Haigar had fought no fewer than a hundred battles over the [Time Corridor].

Eventually, after much struggle, they reached an agreement.

The forces of the three continents were divided into three parts.

Every so often, the experts of one continent would train there, while the other two continents' experts were not allowed entry.

In other words, the [Time Corridor] was completely monopolized by the god rulers of Saint Haigar.

And Gunie's arrival

would obviously not abide by the rules set by these so-called god rulers.

Earlier, Gunie had greeted Oflo precisely for this reason.
