Chapter 173: Secluded Cultivation in the [Corridor of Time]

The news of Gune heading to the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God spread like wildfire.

In response, the high-ranking Divine Controllers of Saint Haigar intensified their defenses of the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] and the [Corridor of Time].

However, Gune, who had entered the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God, did not attack these two locations as many Divine Controllers had anticipated.

This gave the many Divine Controllers a moment of relief.

It seemed to them that their strong defensive measures had had some effect.

But in reality,

Gune had quietly concealed his tracks and did not head straight for the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] or the [Corridor of Time] because, in the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God,

apart from these two most important places, there were other locations that held very significant things.

For example, the divine abilities of the other three Outer Gods.

And the place where the abilities of the Star Ancient God Emoko might be inherited.

These were the places Gune needed to explore first.

Once these places were fully explored and everything worth taking was obtained,

only then would Gune go to the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] and the [Corridor of Time].

Going to the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] was solely to retrieve the corpse of that Divine Controller.

And the [Corridor of Time] was clearly the place where Gune would ultimately need to cultivate in seclusion.

As Gune concealed his tracks and quietly explored the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God,

the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God entered a period of calm, just as before.

In the second year after Gune entered the upper levels of Mount Emoko Ancient God,

after he had finished exploring the outer areas,

Gune began the final two searches and occupations.

The first battle was undoubtedly the battle for the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea].

In this battle,

twelve Divine Controllers jointly constructed powerful defensive measures, sealing the entrance.

They strictly guarded against Gune's attack.

Unfortunately, they clearly underestimated Gune's strength.

After all, Gune was no ordinary Divine Controller.

He was a top-tier Divine Controller, with a growing Cthulhu body and the possessor of many Outer God abilities.

This battle was exceptionally fierce.

But the outcome was not much different from what Gune had anticipated.

In just a few minutes,

Gune had routed these Divine Controllers, leaving them utterly defeated.

Then, Gune stationed himself at the entrance. A sea of blood bloomed, spreading across the entire [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] region.

The [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] was far larger than an ordinary large-scale transcendent world.

But now, Gune had transcended the divine form; the might of a Cthulhu Great Old One was immense.

Naturally, he could easily fill every corner of the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea] with his power.

With Gune not letting a single one escape,

all twelve Divine Controllers were killed in battle, not one escaping.

This battle served as a stark warning to the many Divine Controllers of Mount Emoko Ancient God.

It also taught them a harsh lesson.

Those who dared oppose Gune

would die!

After this battle, several Divine Controllers joined forces to seek help from the great Cthulhu beings.

They hoped the Cthulhu beings would act to kill Gune.

But their sacrifices and rituals did not elicit a response from the great Cthulhu beings.

Gune had already discussed this with Oflo.

It would be strange if they did respond.

Matters among Cthulhu beings were not something these divine powerhouses could meddle in.

At the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea], after Gune obtained the corpse and abilities of that Outer God, he headed straight for the [Corridor of Time].

With the lesson from the [Saint Haigar Primordial Sea],

even though there were more Divine Controllers in the [Corridor of Time],

firstly, since Gune had single-handedly killed all twelve Divine Controllers, he held an absolute advantage in strength.

Secondly,

the only Cthulhu being they relied on had not responded.

This also caused them to lose the courage to continue opposing Gune.

Therefore, when Gune arrived at the [Corridor of Time],

the many Divine Controllers who learned of his arrival had all fled, not a single one remaining.

The [Corridor of Time]

was about a hundred meters wide.

and about two thousand meters long.

On both sides stood stone pillars fifty meters high.

At the same time, the entire [Corridor of Time] supported a light curtain area.

Outside the light curtain was normal time flow.

Inside the area covered by the light curtain, the time flow was three times faster.

At this moment, the vast [Corridor of Time] had no one else but Gune.

"They ran quite fast."

His gaze sweeping over the [Corridor of Time], Gune smiled.

Then, in a corner of the [Corridor of Time], Gune quietly sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, Gune opened the system panel.

After staring at it for a moment, Gune nodded slightly.

"Here, I still gain experience every ten seconds."

"That means the idle system also benefits from the threefold time acceleration."

"Cultivating in seclusion for 120 years here is equivalent to 360 years outside."

"This time, I've obtained quite a few powerful Cthulhu abilities."

"At the same time, although the abilities of the Star Ancient God Emoko are not the complete version, they still possess seventy to eighty percent of their power."

"Leveling up through idling will still yield very considerable results."

At the place where Adams had given Gune information,

Gune, using his own opportunity system and after some effort, finally obtained the abilities of the Star Ancient God Emoko.

As the abilities of a Star Ancient God, their power was clearly greater.

This could be seen from the experience value of over five thousand.

The abilities of a Star Ancient God were somewhat stronger than those of an Outer God.

But as levels increased and these abilities reached a certain tier, their power became more or less the same.

"At the level of Cthulhu beings, what ultimately matters is the level of the ability."

"Even a difference of one or two levels is enough to bridge the gap between the abilities of an Outer God and a Star Ancient God."

"Such a long period of secluded cultivation will not only allow my own strength to reach the level of a fully mature Cthulhu Great Old One, but also elevate many of my Cthulhu abilities to a height that Cthulhu beings can hardly imagine."

"At that time..."

Gune's gaze briefly glanced at the vast starry sky above Mount Emoko Ancient God.

"Even those two Outer Gods, plus that Great Old One, will be no match for me."

"Even a powerful Star Ancient God might not be my opponent."

"During this secluded cultivation, I can search for those Primal beings and their secrets without any worries."

Then, Gune composed his mind.

and began his idle cultivation.

Thus began the longest period of secluded cultivation in his training journey.
