Chapter 697 - Taking God Crystals

‘God crystals, right here in front of me. If I can get my hands on a bunch of those, I’ll be in a much better position. I can just get out of here and wait for the future world, the Dao Defense League, and Young Master Leaf to fight it out, then jump in at the last minute to take advantage of the situation. In terms of going to the future world, my cultivation base is obviously too weak right now. I definitely need to be a Godmyth before I even consider that. And I need to somehow get Young Master Leaf’s three legacy medallions, so I have a total of six.’

As he proceeded deeper, he finally ran right into a god crystal.

Without hesitation, he sent out some divine will to wrap up the crystal. However, as soon as he did, an immense, ancient, and desolate will emerged from the crystal, like something from primal-chaos itself. In the shortest of moments, he found himself incapable of movement. Even the Cruiser of Civilization was locked down.

‘What’s going on?’ he thought in shock.

The will entered his sea of consciousness and seemed just on the verge of overwhelming his own will. However, as soon as it reached his forehead, the God Legion Seal suddenly unleashed boundless god might and devoured the encroaching will.

With the invincible God Legion Seal in his forehead, there was no incursion of outside will that would have any effect on him.

“God Legion Seal? Fateless One!? What are you doing here? Don’t tell me this is my fate?”

All of a sudden, Yang Qi felt like everything around him was spinning and realized that he was in some ancient aspect of the void.

Right in front of him was an enormous, pulsing heart. None of the outside powers or attacks had any effect on him here, and no one from the future world could see him.

The voice from moments ago had come from that heart.

‘What just happened?’ Yang Qi thought, quickly quelling the panic that had risen up in him moments ago.

“You're the will of the god Brahma, aren’t you?” he said. “You must be. I have a third of the God Legion Seal, and I'm a Fateless One. You were imprisoned here by the power of the future world. I'm no enemy of yours. In fact, I'm an enemy of the future world! Why don’t we become friends?”

Caught up in the moment, Yang Qi hardly had time to consider the fact that he was communicating with the will of Brahma’s heart, an actual god! This was no fake god, no Godmyth with virtual godhood. This was a god, with true godhood—someone who could drift forever through the river of time!

All that remained was a heart, but the will of the god was still present, and the power it pulsed with could destroy anything and everything. It was obviously something that Yang Qi himself couldn’t do anything against.

“Become friends? With you, boy?” The ancient will of Brahma seemed to smile. “I'd say that, at the moment, you’re about one quadrillionth as strong as me. Even if you fully powered that fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization you have, you still wouldn’t be a match for me. And you want to be friends with me? I’ve never heard of a mortal becoming friends with a god before.”
