My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

The True Creator's heart tightened.

That cat was actually raised by this senior? If so, it was possible.

After all, this senior gave him a mysterious and extraordinary feeling.

"But I'm curious, how did it injure you?" Qi Yuan asked.

Although Xie Xinsu had some talent, it was impossible for her to break through to the third layer of Yang God so quickly.

Even with Zero-One's help, it would be extremely difficult.

The True Creator recalled, "It was just an ordinary cat, but it carried a strange treasure with it."

When mentioning the strange treasure, the True Creator's expression turned serious.

"Who else was with it?" Qi Yuan asked.

His tone was uncertain.

"Anyone else?" Qi Yuan asked.

This woman might be Zero-One, his robot.

"No one else," the True Creator shook his head.

"Where did you come from, and how can you return?" Qi Yuan asked again.

He still wanted to find his robot.

After all, Zero-One's body contained various high-tech features. Having a robot butler would make everything more convenient.

"I come from... the Divine Sound Universe," the True Creator said seriously. "The Divine Sound Universe is a universe under the Divine Mountain. When I was severely injured, the Divine Mountain experienced turmoil, affecting the Divine Sound Universe. Deities like me faced the risk of falling if we stayed in the Divine Sound Universe, so I followed an ancient passage and secretly crossed over to the Heavy Origin Universe."

When mentioning the Divine Mountain, the True Creator's eyes were filled with deep wariness, awe, and longing.

"Oh, are there beings above the fifth layer of Yang God on the Divine Mountain?" Qi Yuan asked.

He was very curious about this.

After all, the Dream Origin Body also came from the Divine Sound Universe.

Perhaps, in that universe, there were beings who had broken through beyond the fifth layer of Yang God.

"I don't know," the True Creator shook his head.

In the Divine Sound Universe, he was considered a big shot, but on the Divine Mountain, he was just a small fry.

He didn't know much about the situation on the Divine Mountain.

"However, there are many Dao Lords on the Divine Mountain. Among them... the Lord of Gods sits on the divine throne, with many Dao Lords bowing to him. Perhaps... he is a being above the fifth layer of Yang God," the True Creator speculated.

The strength and origins of the Lord of Gods were a mystery.

Some said the Lord of Gods was at the fifth layer of Yang God, while others argued that he had surpassed it, becoming an extraordinary being. Otherwise, why would the other Dao Lords bow to him and acknowledge him as their lord?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan became even more curious about the Divine Sound Universe and the Divine Mountain.

"Where is the ancient passage?"

Qi Yuan asked.

"After I arrived, the ancient passage was severed," the True Creator replied. "Senior, you can follow me to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures traversed countless miles, arriving at the other end of the universe.

Here, it was pitch black, without a trace of light.

Terrifying storms raged, strong enough to tear apart Yang Gods.

"Back then, I came to the Heavy Origin Universe through a passage here," the True Creator said.

Qi Yuan looked ahead, his eyes showing disappointment. "This passage is indeed destroyed."

It seemed he couldn't go to the Divine Sound Universe, nor could he find his robot Zero-One or Xie Xinsu.

As for Wu Shi and that bird, he couldn't find them either.

"Do you know about the Ten Great Origin Bodies?" Qi Yuan asked again.

In the memories obtained from the Dao Lord of Nanke, only the Ten Great Origin Bodies could break through the limits and surpass the fifth layer of Yang God.

However, the Dream Origin Body obtained by the Dao Lord of Nanke was incomplete, so he ultimately failed to break through and remained at the fifth layer of Yang God.

"The Ten Great Origin Bodies?" The True Creator's face showed confusion.

Clearly, he had never heard of the Ten Great Origin Bodies.

Could it be that this ancient passage didn't just lead to the Divine Sound Universe but also to other universes?

That Dream Origin Body might have come from another world.

"Forget it, you don't know anything. You're too weak now, so go back to sleep," Qi Yuan said, losing interest.

The True Creator was indeed extremely weak now.

After all, he had been forcibly awakened by Qi Yuan.

"Understood, Senior," the True Creator said, no longer displaying the arrogance of a deity.

Before falling back into slumber, he executed some elders and issued decrees within the True Creator's Church.

...

Meanwhile, in the Flying Bird Realm fortress.

Qi Yuan absorbed the memories given by the True Creator.

"The Path of Gods?"

What caught his attention the most was the Path of Gods from the Divine Mountain.

"Many Dao Lords can cultivate the Path of Gods together?"

This surprised him.

Because, as a Dao Lord, one is the master of a single path.

The Path of Immortals, the Path of Dreams, the Path of Martial Arts, and the Path of Gods all counted as individual paths.

Yet, according to the True Creator's memories, all the Dao Lords on the Divine Mountain followed the Path of Gods.

"Perhaps their fifth layer of Yang God is different from the fifth layer in this universe."

The True Creator had never truly come into contact with the Path of Gods of the Divine Mountain.

It was said that the beings of the Divine Mountain were like gods, gathering faith, absorbing incense, and walking the Path of Gods.

"The Path of Gods through Incense and Faith?"

Qi Yuan speculated.

Back in the Mortal Heart Realm, he had also dabbled in the Path of Gods.

However, that so-called Path of Gods was crude and lacked a proper system.

...

"Wu Xue, what do you think of the Ad Church?" the city lord asked Wu Xue, feeling indecisive.

After all, the idea of reviving by watching ads after death sounded absurd.

Wu Xue lowered his head, deep in thought. "If what that lord said is true, it might be worth a try."

"That's a useless answer," the city lord said, exasperated. He stood on a high tower, looking out over the fortress. "Will the dream beasts really cause chaos within three days?"

"Even if it's not within three days, it could be three months or three years," Wu Xue replied.

The city lord fell silent.

Wu Xue was right.

No matter what, the fate of this fortress was sealed.

Now, the fortress was continuously falling, and the world was collapsing.

Evacuation... was impossible.

"In that case... what's the harm in believing in the Ad Church... anyway... it's all death in the end," the city lord said through gritted teeth.

Originally, such a decision required discussion among the nobles to reach a consensus.

But the city lord understood that in major matters, it was better to make quick decisions.

Dragging things out would only lead to complications, which was not ideal.

"Let's go, we'll meet Lord Qi Yuan!"

Soon, the city lord brought Wu Xue and others to meet Qi Yuan.

"Oh, have you decided to join the Ad Church and watch ads?" Qi Yuan asked with a smile.

The Dao Lord of Nanke had given him some inheritance, and in return, he would protect the beings of the Heavy Origin Universe.

At the same time, he wanted to find the descendants of the Dream Origin Body to learn more about the realms beyond the fifth layer of Yang God or the Ten Great Origin Bodies.

"Yes, we ask that you save the people from their suffering!" the city lord said, bowing his head, his eyes clouded and aged.

"In that case, it's simple. I'll kill everyone here, and then they can revive by watching ads," Qi Yuan said.

The city lord's heart skipped a beat.

Kill everyone?

So straightforward!

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll order all the citizens not to resist."

"No need for orders. Killing all of you would only take a thought," Qi Yuan said casually. "But I'll wait a bit before doing it. First, I need to see if anyone is interested in my ad space."

Hearing this, the city lord was even more shocked.

With just a thought, he could wipe out the entire fortress?

With such power, there was no need to lie to them.

After all, if he wanted to kill them, he could do it with a single thought.

...

Dawn Merchant Guild.

Zhou Wu frowned deeply. "What a pity. To resist the dream beast disaster, our guild has exhausted many resources and is now at the bottom of the top ten guilds."

Zhou Wu was a high-ranking manager of the Dawn Merchant Guild, holding a prestigious position.

The Dawn Merchant Guild, as its name suggested, had been providing resources to resist the dream beasts when the disaster first struck.

They had even established outposts in areas affected by the dream beasts to fight them and save ordinary people.

Unfortunately, despite consuming vast resources, the results were minimal.

In fact, all those investments had come to nothing.

Fortunately, the two founders of the Dawn Merchant Guild didn't mind.

However, as one of the high-ranking managers, Zhou Wu still felt pained by the guild's decline.

"Now, with the dream beasts running rampant, according to the Divine Calculator's prophecy, half of the Heavy Origin Universe... will fall. What a troubled time," Zhou Wu sighed. "So many things have happened recently."

For example, the True Creator in the same region had awakened, purged the Elder Council, and issued some decrees.

Another example was the formation of alliances by the Chaos Bandits, who were plundering freely and cutting off trade routes.

Zhou Wu frowned as he dealt with the documents sent by the branch guilds.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed. "A message from a seventh-level manager?"

He was a second-level manager.

A seventh-level manager was far below him.

Generally, a seventh-level manager had no right to report directly to him.

"Could it be something important?"

With curiosity, he opened the message.

"The Ad Church?"
