There were many different types of ruins, but there were only two types if they were categorized according to the general categories.

One was space-time ruins. These ruins were usually located in space-time rifts or hidden in subsidiary planes. They would appear by tearing space apart according to a special pattern. Generally speaking, ancient civilization ruins were mostly of this type, such as the Auer ruins that Gu Ding was rushing to.

The other type was non-space-time ruins. These ruins usually existed stably in a certain area. Once one successfully entered it, one could continuously obtain resources from it. The God's relic that Gu Ding had come across was of this type.

Under Gu Ding's coercion, the giant crocodile told him everything.

"The ruins were buried deep underground and covered by mud algae. They were able to block the detection of Spirit Power. The three-headed dragon accidentally discovered it more than ten thousand years ago. At that time, we giant beasts were similar in strength, but we had just stepped into deity-level and had not fully awakened our spiritual wisdom. We rushed in together. In the end, only the three-headed dragon and the eighteen of us survived out of more than a hundred Supreme Deity giant beasts.

"The fourth level of the ruins contained a Source Stone Crystal that emitted endless ownerless God Source energy every day. Even in the outermost layer, our cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Since the three-headed dragon was a natural mutant, its potential was much stronger than ours, so it was the first to break through to the level of a Medium Deity and enter the second level. After entering the second level, its cultivation improved faster than ours. By the time we were promoted to five-star Lower Deity, it was already a two-star Medium Deity. It brought back some benefits from the second level and asked us to recognize it as our boss and listen to its orders. At that time, our spiritual wisdom had already matured. Seeing that there were benefits to be reaped and that we were no match for it, we agreed. "

"You mean that the ruins had a total of four levels? Apart from the three-headed dragon, you could only mingle in the outermost layer? What else was in the outermost layer besides the endless God Source? "Gu Ding continued to ask.

"There were only four levels in the ruins. Each level was isolated by a large number of restrictions. With our cultivation, we couldn't enter the second level. When we entered the outermost layer, we were chased by two mechanical beasts that were comparable to five-star Lower Deities. That was why so many powerhouses had fallen. Only the Three-headed Demon Wyrm can enter the second level. We don't know what's inside, but we heard that there are also mechanical beasts on the second level. The Three-headed Demon Wyrm uses a special divine power to obtain cultivation resources. As for the outermost layer, apart from a large amount of Divine Origin, there were also many elixirs. We had already devoured all of them. There were also a few human cultivation techniques and seven or eight divine items that could only be used by humans. They were all taken by the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon. "

"In that case, this relic should have been left behind by a human powerhouse? Cooper is at odds with you guys because he wants to enter the ruins, but you won't let him in? "Gu Ding had a rough idea of why Cooper was at odds with the sea mutant giant beasts.

"Although he can't use his spiritual power to detect the secrets of the seabed, he was able to determine that there is a treasure at the bottom of the sea based on our cultivation. However, he doesn't know what the treasure is. According to what he said, if there were no rare treasures on a planet, even if the entire planet's resources were used up, they might not be able to create a 5-star Lower Deity. Yet, our region of the sea has given birth to 18 Five-star Lesser Deities. It's obvious that there's a treasure hidden at the bottom of the sea. He released the coercion of a Medium Deity, trying to force us to tell him the secret. However, the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon sensed his coercion and fought with him before he was driven away. "

"Driven away? It didn't kill him? " Gu Ding was slightly surprised. If that was the case, it meant that Cooper's strength was not much weaker than the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon.

"That human's strength is not much weaker than the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon. The Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon had used its most powerful killer move, but it only managed to destroy one-third of his body. Only then did it deter him and allowed him to escape quickly."

The giant crocodile's words made Gu Ding frown slightly. He continued to ask, "How strong is the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon?"

"He's a Three-star Medium Deity, but his combat effectiveness is no weaker than a Five-star." The giant crocodile rolled its eyes. "Although you're stronger than us, you're definitely no match for him. Although he's currently in seclusion to recuperate, he planted a strange mother-son imprint on the eighteen of us. If we all die, he'll immediately sense it. If one of us is still alive, he won't be able to sense it. "

"Are you threatening me?" A fierce look flashed in Gu Ding's eyes.

At that moment, a Spacetime Rift suddenly appeared. Robert's huge figure stepped through the rift and appeared not far away from Gu Ding.

"Gu Ding, there are five other galaxies near this galaxy. There's a total of more than one hundred and twenty planets. We've searched all of them, but there's no trace of Cooper. If he's any further, he'll be thousands of light-years away. The portal won't be able to reach him. "The news Robert brought was not good news.

"I understand." Not being able to find Cooper meant that Gu Ding could not avoid the battle with the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon. Gu Ding did not hesitate anymore. He stepped on the giant crocodile's head several times. In just a moment, the giant crocodile's brain burst open and it died.

Neptune scurried back to Gu Ding's wrist from Robert's wrist.

"Gu Ding, you mustn't be careless in the battle with the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon. The difference between a Medium Deity and a Lower Deity is not just a simple difference in combat effectiveness. You should remember that I told you about energy sources before. I didn't go into detail because your cultivation is still far from reaching Deity Level. I have to tell you now.

"When a normal person advances to Demigod Level, their body will slowly turn into energy, and the Righteous Force in their body will also turn into God Source. The source of these God Source energies are the small and large cycles before reaching Demigod Level. However, after advancing to Deity Level, these energy cycles will disappear, and each small cycle will be converted into an energy source. For example, there are currently eighty-one small cycles and nine large cycles in your body. Therefore, the number of energy sources you need to advance to Deity Level is 729. An ordinary Lower Rank 1 Deity's energy source has a base energy value of one point. However, because you've received a threefold increase in Righteous Force, your base energy value is three points. If we use numbers to express it, it's equivalent to you having 2,187 God Source points.

"Everyone's energy source number is determined before they advance to Deity Level. Once they advance to Deity Level, it can't be changed. However, the base energy value inside an energy source can be increased. After a Lower Rank 1 Deity advances to Lower Rank 2, their base energy value will double. From Lower Rank 2 to Lower Rank 3, it will double again, and so on, all the way to Five Stars. In other words, your base energy value is 2,187. Once you advance to Lower Rank 5 Deity, it will become 34992 points.

"If a person's cultivation level reaches Five-star Lower Rank Deity, regardless of whether their battle prowess increases to Six-Star or Seven-Star, their Divine Origin Points won't increase anymore, unless they advance from Five-star Lower Rank Deity to One-star Intermediate Rank Deity. After advancing to Middle Rank 1 Deity, the energy source will undergo a qualitative change, directly increasing the base energy value by a hundred times. If it's you, you'll have around thirty-five thousand divine roots, and you'll have three million and five hundred thousand divine roots. It's the same for Middle Rank and Lower Rank Deities. The increase of a small level will double the God Source energy value.

"That Three-headed Demon Snake is already a Middle Rank 3 Deity. Even if its cultivation system is different from humans, the strength of its God Source is definitely not inferior to humans of the same level. Let's take Quinn as an example. She only has 27 Minor Circulations and three Major Circulations in her body. After she ascends to become a Five-star Lower Rank Deity, she only has 1,296 Divine Source Points in her body. Once she ascends to become a One-star Middle Rank Deity, the number of Divine Source Points in her body will skyrocket to 129,600 points. If her cultivation level is the same as the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon and becomes a Three-star Middle Rank Deity, then the number of Divine Source Points in her body will double, reaching 5,18,400 points. "

"Quinn is only considered to have an average quality among the human race. That Three-headed Demon Snake, to a certain extent, has the bloodline of the Ancient Flood Dragon. Moreover, it has been stimulated and mutated by the virus. The strength of the God Source in its body will only be higher than Quinn's. It's more than two hundred or even three hundred times the strength of your current God Source … "

"What you're saying is that if he keeps using God Source to attack from a distance, he can easily crush me so that I won't have a chance to get close and seal him?" Gu Ding knew that this was the main purpose of Neptune's explanation.

"Although I'm very reluctant to tell you this bad news, I have to say it so that you're mentally prepared." Neptune was also a little helpless about this. This was also why he had previously proposed to go to other planets to look for traces of Cooper. He wanted Gu Ding to avoid this battle. Unfortunately, he had searched more than one hundred and twenty nearby planets and found no traces at all.

"Actually, I have another piece of bad news," Gu Ding smiled bitterly. "I just found out from the crocodile that Cooper's strength is similar to that of the Three-headed Demon Snake. The two of them fought, and the result was almost a draw. Even if I don't consider the strength of God Source, my sealing ability can only be used on one of them. "

"Gu Ding, devour these beast carcasses!" Neptune was silent for a moment, then suggested.

"That's right. In a situation like this, it's better to increase your combat effectiveness as much as possible!" A look of excitement flashed in Gu Ding's eyes. The greenish-black flame instantly turned inky black and enveloped all eighteen beast carcasses. The huge beast carcasses, along with their crystal cores, were quickly devoured by the black flame. Waves of pure energy were like eighteen huge energy waterfalls, madly surging into Gu Ding's body. Not a single bit was left out. In Gu Ding's body, the black virus emerged once again and madly absorbed the terrifying energy.

Time passed by, but the sea was still calm. There was no sign of the Three-headed Demon Snake appearing. Gu Ding did not care too much at this time and focused all his energy on absorbing the energy …
