Chapter 469 – Inheriting the Divine Position

“Peerless combat strength, turning the tide… You have that much confidence in Mu Lin?”

“It’s not that I have confidence in him, but that he has indeed accomplished what we could not.”

These words left the True Lord in the void silent. After a long pause, the voice spoke again:

“You’re right. Mu Lin is indeed somewhat different from others… In that case, I’ll lend him a hand as well. A disciple in my sect has studied the Mahakala method and practiced it. I’ll have him go teach Mu Lin, saving him some time… Huh?!”

In the path of cultivation, Spirit Awakening, Gushing Spring, Spirit Pool, Spirit Sea, and even Gang Condensation and Sha Refinement—these are all processes of unlocking the body’s potential and perfecting oneself.

Starting from Mortal Shedding, Cultivators no longer seek only within but begin to explore the heavens and earth.

Among these, Earth Immortals merely fuse with a region, while Celestial Masters can briefly merge with the Heavenly Dao, achieving the Unity of Heaven and Man.

True Lords go a step further. They can inscribe their own Dao into the laws of the Heavenly Dao, making their Dao Traces permeate the world.

Thus, True Lords are essentially the masters of a particular Dao’s laws.

Take Heavenly Martial True Lord, for example. He is considered the origin and source of martial arts in this world. In this world of cultivation, the reason martial artists still have a place and are not completely overwhelmed by the immortal path is because of Heavenly Martial True Lord—he merged his Dao with the world, providing other martial artists a path forward.

As masters of the laws, with their Dao Traces everywhere in the world, True Lords can survey the entire world with a single thought if they wish.

At this moment, the unknown True Lord in the void, while speaking of helping Mu Lin, instinctively glanced toward the Great Snow Mountain.

And with that glance, he was astonished to discover an anomaly appearing on the Great Snow Mountain.

A deep, dim void had appeared above the Great Snow Mountain at some unknown time.

Within the murky void, there was an endless suction force.

Air, soil, Spiritual Energy, snowflakes, starlight… everything was being drawn into the void.

Such a sight truly stunned the unknown True Lord.

“This is… Mahakala… But I remember he only arrived at the Great Snow Mountain today?”

As he spoke, the True Lord’s gaze turned toward Heavenly Martial, who was also quite surprised.

“He did indeed arrive today…”

“One day, no, half a day to learn it… This Mahakala isn’t as difficult to master as imagined.”

The unknown True Lord muttered to himself, leaving Heavenly Martial silent.

—He too had once studied the Mahakala method and, using his own Dao, evolved it into a technique called the Sinking Heaven Fist Imprint.

And the time it took him to learn the Mahakala method back then was thirty-three days.

…

Mu Lin was unaware of the two True Lords’ gaze.

At this moment, he was practicing Mahakala.

Because Mu Lin knew that the so-called Mahakala was the black hole in the universe, and he understood even more how black holes formed. As a result, his progress in cultivating Mahakala was exceptionally rapid.

From the very beginning, Mu Lin created a murky void within his mind.

During this process, the Calamity Monarch talent also greatly assisted Mu Lin.

This talent allowed Mu Lin to transform into calamity. Undoubtedly, a black hole was an ultimate calamity, capable of destroying stars and galaxies.

Thus, Mu Lin could use the Calamity Monarch talent to simulate himself as a black hole.

Of course, the science of his previous life did not possess a complete and thorough understanding of black holes, which was why Mu Lin could not simulate a complete black hole.

But this was just right for Mu Lin.

If he truly simulated a black hole, not only Mu Lin, but this world, and even those Celestial Masters, True Lords, and alien Evil Gods—every single one of them—would be unable to escape, all meeting their demise.

“The power of a simulated black hole is just right for me…”

…

On the Great Snow Mountain, Mu Lin’s Clone was practicing the Mahakala method and researching how to make it his own.

In Tianshi City, Mu Lin’s Main Body was also cultivating.

However, just as he was concentrating on his cultivation, Yan Yunyu suddenly came looking for him.

“Brother Mu, a Demigod is here to see you.”

“A Demigod? Children personally born by Deities? What do those Evil God Scions want with me?”

As soon as these words were spoken, before Yan Yunyu could say anything, a clear yet indifferent voice sounded outside the door.

“To disparage us as Evil God Scions before even meeting—this is hardly the way to treat guests.”

Accompanying these words, a beautiful woman clad in garments woven from branches and flowers entered Mu Lin’s residence.

Seeing her, Mu Lin felt as if he were beholding fresh nature itself. Such an aura was indeed different from the madness of an Evil God.

However, based on a single meeting, Mu Lin would not trust her allegiance, much less her words.

“There are righteous gods outside our world? Speaking of which, if you are righteous gods, why are you lingering outside our world’s barrier? Why not leave this place directly?”

Such words made the elf-like, indifferent girl look at Mu Lin a few more times.

“It seems your world has tightly sealed off information about the heavens… But then again, that information should indeed be sealed. However, you now have the qualifications to know these things.”

After murmuring a few words to herself, the elf girl addressed Mu Lin: “There are naturally righteous gods outside the world. Or rather, originally, most Deities were righteous gods. Due to a calamity, most worlds were destroyed. With no other choice, those Deities could only flee the destroyed worlds with their Divine Kingdoms and people.”

“But even after fleeing, that calamity did not cease… Wandering in chaos, most Deities were corrupted, which is why they became Evil Gods.”

“Your world is a place where the calamity has temporarily halted. That is why so many Deities linger and rest outside your World Barrier… Of course, many Deities, sensing danger and deeming your world unstable, have also left.”

“We are not enemies. The true enemy is the *** calamity…”

Noticing that her words had become silent, the elf girl was momentarily stunned, but she quickly understood:

“Your True Lords have sealed the information about the calamity. I cannot speak of it within the world.”

“But that doesn’t matter. I just want you to know that we are not your enemies. The *** calamity that spans multiple dimensions is.”

“…”

That Evil Gods were also victims was something Mu Lin had truly not anticipated.

However, even after understanding all this, his vigilance toward them did not diminish.

True Gods only meant they would not act like madmen, wantonly destroying, wreaking havoc, and taking pleasure in harming others.

Yet being a True God does not mean they are good people.

Waging holy wars for faith, causing the deaths of hundreds of millions—this is not uncommon in most worlds.

Especially now, as they flee in panic, they are bound to lose countless things and desire a safe haven even more.

But what is a resource and dwelling place for Deities is, for this world, an invasion.

It is only natural for the True Lord to guard against these Deities.

While pondering this, Mu Lin spoke to the girl before him: “I believe you are the child of a True God now. So, what do you want from me?”

Noticing that Mu Lin’s attitude had not improved much and that he remained extremely wary of her, the elven girl… did not mind.

With an indifferent expression, she quickly stated her purpose.

And her next words made Mu Lin’s eyes widen.

“I want you to inherit my mother’s Divine Position.”

“???”
