Chapter 500 – Great Divine Power: Five-Colored Divine Light

“Speaking of which, by relying on the Five Qi Converging to the Origin and combining it with my Purification Light, could I deduce the Five-Colored Divine Light?”

After careful consideration, Mu Lin felt… the chances were quite high.

The Five Qi Converging to the Origin allowed Mu Lin to possess the Five Elements, while the Purification Light could purify everything. Combining the two, Mu Lin’s Five-Colored Divine Light could indeed sweep away many things.

“But this is just a simple combination. The fundamental reason why the Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away and break through anything is that all things in the world exist within the Five Elements. It is because of this foundation that Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away everything in the world.”

“So, to reach this level, I need to deeply study the Five Elements and comprehend the principles of their rotation and cycles.”

Understanding the Five Elements and delving into this path was not impossible for Mu Lin, but it was too slow.

“Relying solely on my own deductions, even with the help of the Attribute Panel, it would take thousands of years. I still need the world’s heroes to work together with me.”

And Mu Lin had a way to make the world’s heroes work with him—the Five Elements Fruit.

Mu Lin planned to rely on the Five-Organs Spirit Tree to create a Five Elements Fruit in addition to the Golden Fruit.

Mu Lin’s Golden Fruit granted a Divine Body of Light, possessing the ability of Purification.

As for the Five Elements Fruit, it would embody the Five Elements, granting a Five Elements Spirit Body.

Those who consumed such a fruit would mostly follow the path of the Five Elements and would naturally possess talents that would allow them to progress far.

And because they were born under Mu Lin’s influence, the experiences and insights of these individuals in cultivating the Five Elements would also be collected and gathered by Mu Lin’s True Spirit Karma Diagram.

“In this way, as long as there are enough people with Five Elements bodies, my Five-Colored Divine Light can appear sooner.”

Having thought this through, Mu Lin immediately created some Five Elements Fruits and had Yan Yunyu and the others distribute them.

…

Life truly is a miracle, especially in this mystical world, where many life forms have evolved various peculiar abilities due to Spiritual Energy.

Now, relying on the Life Authority, Mu Lin not only concentrated all these benefits within himself but also optimized and deduced them further.

Through the Five-Organs Spirit Tree, Mu Lin deduced the Five Qi Converging to the Origin, the Five-Colored Divine Light, and the Five Elements Fruit—and this was just a small gain for Mu Lin.

In addition, the environmental transformation device was also deduced by Mu Lin.

The main component of this device was a type of algae that reproduced exceptionally quickly.

It could devour large amounts of energy and organic matter, rapidly multiplying itself.

Because it consumed energy too quickly and in too large quantities, this algae was even called the “Sea Demon King” in the ocean, once threatening the survival of the Dragon Palace.

Even now, it is periodically cleared by the Dragon Palace.

The fact that it could survive and reproduce under the attacks of the Dragon Palace Aquatic Tribe demonstrated its tenacious vitality.

And this tenacity was exactly what Mu Lin needed.

With some modifications, Mu Lin enabled it to absorb sunlight… or rather, it already had the ability for photosynthesis. Mu Lin’s main modification was to make these algae usable by humans, similar to rice, and even as spiritual rice.

When these algae could bear fruit, and even produce fruits like spiritual rice, their extremely rapid reproduction rate would no longer be a threat to Mu Lin and humanity but a benefit instead.

“However, their rate of consuming spiritual energy is indeed somewhat fast, akin to a biological invasion, capable of making an area exclusively populated by this type of algae. Placing them within the Profound Spirit World would indeed be inappropriate.”

“Fortunately, the Profound Spirit World is surrounded by satellites. Later, I’ll send these algae to the satellites to see if they can transform the satellite environments to make them suitable for human habitation.”

“Then there are the alien races. Many foreign races have come here. Killing them all is something the Profound Spirit World simply lacks the strength to accomplish. Moreover, even if successful, the Profound Spirit World would suffer countless casualties, which is not the action of a wise ruler.”

“But in the past, our blessed lands and resources were limited, so we couldn’t allow them to enter the world and compete with humans for resources.”

“With the environmental transformation device, everything changes. I can transform many satellites and planets into habitable Gaia planets. This way, those foreign races can also have a place to live.”

“But accepting them requires some finesse… Humans must remain the dominant species. I will only accept races willing to submit.”

“Moreover, they can’t live here for free. If they want territory, they can have it, but they must purchase it with resources!”

Those foreign races, fleeing with the seeds and hopes of their worlds, are still quite wealthy.

In fact, Mu Lin believes they might even be able to offer divine authorities or divine artifacts similar to Dao Artifacts.

These items could accelerate the advancement of Mu Lin’s True Spirit Karma Diagram.

For example, after the Life Authority was fused by the Lord of Mount Tai, the 36.5 billion experience points of Mu Lin’s True Spirit Karma Diagram directly increased by over ten billion.

Fusing a few more divine authorities would directly advance Mu Lin’s True Spirit Karma Diagram.

“This trade can be done… but I still need to discuss it with Heavenly Martial True Lord and the others.”

The Five Elements Fruit and the environmental transformation device were not the entirety of Mu Lin’s gains.

He had also successfully created a biological supercomputer.

Of course, what Mu Lin created was a fantasy version.

He gathered the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the Bodhi Tree, and a creature called the Sentient Snail.

The first two need no introduction; their reputation for wisdom and enlightenment is widely known.

The so-called Sentient Snail is a specialty of the Celestial Spirit World.

According to Yue Ling, these snails are as large as houses, and most of their shells contain their brains.

With their exceptional intelligence, the Sentient Snails once enslaved thousands of races and dominated vast territories.

But ultimately, they were defeated.

Their downfall was due to two main reasons: one was their small population, and the other was that most Sentient Snails, in their old age or even middle age, would come to believe through excessive contemplation that everything in the world was meaningless.

Killing was meaningless, ruling was meaningless, enjoyment was meaningless, and even the development of their race was meaningless.

Many powerful Sentient Snails, driven by such thoughts, would simply find a secluded place to hide away and ponder various philosophical matters.

Their seclusion led to the collapse of the once-mighty spiritual nation.

“…”

Hearing this, Mu Lin was speechless, but he also found it reasonable.

Excessive philosophical contemplation can indeed lead to nihilism, resulting in self-destructive tendencies or reclusive behavior.

In his previous life, many philosophers had committed suicide for this very reason.

Fortunately, the Celestial Spirit Clan still preserved some Sentient Snails.

After extracting their genes, Mu Lin discovered that their brains were indeed extremely developed and highly active.

Then, Mu Lin began crossbreeding the Sentient Snail, leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and fruits of the Bodhi Tree.

Even with the Life Authority, such hybridization mostly ended in failure.

But Mu Lin’s energy was nearly limitless—he could afford the cost.

He even entered the Time Secret Realm, using the power of time to accelerate his experimental area.

After dozens of times acceleration and thousands of failures, brains imbued with the characteristics of the Enlightenment Tea Tree and Bodhi Tree were successfully hybridized.

These brains were not complete organisms. They could not leave their cultivation vessels and required Mu Lin to constantly infuse them with dense life force to survive.

Their environmental demands were also extremely high—slightly too hot or too cold, and they would perish.

Moreover, these brains had no protection whatsoever; even a random blade could slice through them.

However, though these brains had abandoned everything else, their vitality and computational abilities were thousands of times greater than those of ordinary humans.

And due to the influence of the Bodhi Tree and Enlightenment Tea Tree, these brains could also comprehend various laws and insights.

“My experiment is a success!”

Looking at the rows of heads enveloped in abundant life energy in the experimental area, Mu Lin’s face was filled with fascination.

This was the foundation for his complete ascension.

At the same time, though these brains consisted only of heads, they were not terrifying but rather quite beautiful.

Most of the heads before Mu Lin were translucent, and inside, instead of white, pulpy brain matter, they resembled a starry sky, shimmering with scattered points of light.

“Since you look like this, you shall be called the Starry Sky Brain.”

“You will be my first Apostle and also the Cherub under the Giant of Light in the Celestial Realm.”

As he spoke, Mu Lin recorded the name and true spirit of the Starry Sky Brain into the True Spirit Karma Diagram. This way, no matter how powerful the Starry Sky Brain became, it could never defy Mu Lin.

The True Spirit Karma Diagram was the blueprint for creating the universe—an entire cosmos. Even if the Starry Sky Brain grew to the level of a Star God, becoming an existence akin to the Erudition, it would still exist beneath the universe.

With this, Mu Lin naturally had no fear of betrayal.

Once the preparations were complete, Mu Lin immediately issued his first command to the Starry Sky Brain.

“Deduce the Five Elements and transmit it to me.”

He aimed to obtain the great supernatural power of the Five-Colored Divine Light in the shortest time possible.
