Chapter 186: 185: The Ancient God is Dead!
Translator: 549690339
“The Exile of the Ancient God Plan!”
“The most important thing about this plan is that we need an Array Master!”
“There aren’t any Array Masters here on Qiankun Continent, so we have to request the Jiang Family arrange for one from the Pangu Continent or the cosmic center!”
“Apart from this, we must ensure confidentiality!”
“Since the Ancient God can go invisibly, we don’t know where he is. Therefore, in reality, no one can talk about anything related to Array Masters ...”
“Any sort of communication must be held in the virtual universe. The Jiang
Family has said that although the Ancient God is part of Virtual Universe
Company, the company will not sneak to steal our conversations for his sake!”
In response to Qiankun Continent’s request for an Array Master, the Jiang Family approved and arranged a Sector Lord Level Array Master from the cosmic center.
Array Masters generally belong to a branch within Mind Masters. Just like Illusionists, they’re unique Mind Masters as well.
Being an Array Master is much rarer than being an Illusionist because immense talent, profound comprehension, and extraordinary hard work are required to become one.
One can’t miss any of these factors!
In the period before the Array Master’s arrival, everything on Qiankun Continent seemed to have settled down. More than fifty families seemed to have no solution against the Ancient God.
News often reached that the Ancient God had destroyed secret realms belonging to these families, even some of their settlements.
Listening to Kong Tai’s advice, all the top families began to deliberately give Du Gang some decoys to destroy, to keep a backup plan in case the Exile of the Ancient God Plan fails, leaving them helpless!
But Du Gang didn’t care. If there was a secret realm, he would burrow into it; if there was energy, he would absorb it. As far as the settlements were concerned, he let Barara create a plan ahead of time. If he could destroy them along the way, he would; if not, he wouldn’t insist.
Within fifteen days, the energy required for his advancement to the level of Sector Lord had accumulated to 66 times, which equated to him absorbing the energy of 66 ordinary people attempting to upgrade to Sector Lord Level.
Actually, it’s considered pretty good on Qiankun Continent. After all, there were scarce resources available here, which is interlinked with the difficulty of becoming a Sector Lord.
Obviously, the chances of breaking through increase where resources are
abundant.
Therefore, Du Gang wasn’t worried about running out of energy. When Qiankun Continent would no longer be able to support his advancement, he would simply head to Pangu Continent!
On the sixteenth day, a sizable five-star B-class spaceship descended upon Qiankun Fortress.
The Array Master had arrived!
Not only him, but members from the Virtual Universe Company also arrived!
Interestingly, the Array Master was summoned by the Jiang Family to kill the Ancient God, while the Virtual Universe Company’s members were sent to protect Du Gang.
This gang, despite their contrasting motives, coexisted peacefully aboard the spaceship. This showed that the four major companies had a competitive yet cooperative relationship rather than huge discrepancies, as most people perceived.
Of course, the Jiang Family did whatever it could to protect their secrets, sending a hundred Sector Lords along with that Array master, so the Virtual
Universe company staff didn’t suspect the actual Exile of the Ancient God Plan.
They just assumed that these hundred Sector Lords were there to support the fifty-plus families.
The number of Sector Lord Level Heroes from the Virtual Universe Company was quite numerous though, over a thousand! And all of them showed immense respect to a young boy who was their leader, regardless of whether they were regular Sector Lord Level employees or personal disciples of the companies. Even though he was also just a Sector Lord Level.
The same day, more than 200 Sector Lord level individuals from the Virtual Universe Company’s divisions from all 64 regions of the Qiankun Continent gathered in the “Qian” district and quietly waited for the arrival of the main company staff.
“Whoosh!”
Soon, a spaceship 10,000 meters long appeared slowly. This was the five-star, B-class spaceship.
“Clang! ”
The cabin door opened. A handsome young man, with unique sword-like eyebrows, led the way off the ship, followed by other Sector Lord Level warriors.
“We welcome the envoy from the headquarters!”
The director of the largest division of the Virtual Universe Company on the Qiankun Continent bowed first.
“We welcome the envoy from the headquarters!”
The other 200-plus Sector Lord levels, along with a group of outstanding Domain Lord Level core disciples, followed suit with bows.
“Okay, get up!”
The young man said indifferently. His voice was unique, strong, and very distinctive, sounding like a plucked lute.
After hearing this, everyone rapidly got up.
Then, more than a thousand Sector Lord Level warriors disembarked from the spaceship behind him.
Although the young man remained silent, he waited for another hundred or so Sector Lord level fighters, clad in Cosmic Colosseum gear, to disembark before addressing them. He said, “Alright, get going now that you’ve landed. Don’t ugly up the place!”
The more than one hundred domain lord level powerhouses in the Cosmic
Colosseum didn’t show a trace of dissatisfaction. They respectfully said, “Thank you, Young Master Kong Xu, we shall take our leave!”
After delivering their words, they collectively took flight, quickly departing.
Young Master Kong Xu...
The more than two hundred domain lords present finally understood what the young man’s name was.
After the outsiders had flown away, Young Master Kong Xu turned to look at the two hundred Domain Lords and said, “You’ve heard my name now. From now on just call me Young Master Kong Xu!”
“Now, let’s head to our base!”
The people present were all powerful and within a short time, they arrived at the largest local branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
The two hundred plus local domain lord level powerhouses only showed sufficient respect because they came from the Pangu Continent.
However, they found out that the thousands of domain lord level powerhouses also showed immense respect to Young Master Kong Xu. They instantly realized that Young Master Kong Xu was not a simple character, increasing the level of their respect towards him.
Nearly as soon as Young Master Kong Xu sat down, he directly said, “Go and relay a message to the Ancient God, tell him, I have arrived. Ask him to return!”
At this moment, Du Gang was cultivating in a hexagram core area.
Suddenly, Balala relayed a message, “Du Gang, the Virtual Universe Company is trying to contact you. They say more than a thousand domain lord level powerhouses have come from the Pangu Continent specifically to protect you. They want you to return!”
“They want me to return?!”
Du Gang was taken aback, unsure about this message.
A thousand plus domain lord level powerhouses from the Pangu Continent were really here to protect him?
Wouldn’t they just capture him as soon as he returned?!
After pondering, he felt that Tang Ren was the only one who could help him solve this mystery. So, he dialed Tang Ren’s phone.
The two didn’t have much small talk, as their communication hadn’t been interrupted in recent days.
Directly, Du Gang said, “Dean, the Virtual Universe Company sent a message saying more than a thousand domain lord level powerhouses were dispatched from the Pangu Continent for me. What do you think of this?”
“More than a thousand Domain Lord level powerhouses?!”
Tang Ren wasn’t aware of this. He didn’t have clear knowledge as every space station was controlled by one of the four big companies.
After a two-second pause, he said, “Wait a moment, I’ll ask Luo Shan for more information!”
Once finished, he disappeared instantly.
Du Gang wasn’t anxious. He contacted Tang Ren because Luo Shan, who was at the helm of the universe’s core, would provide more informative sources.
About half an hour later, Tang Ren finally returned.
“Dean, how’s the situation?” Du Gang asked eagerly as soon as he saw Tang
Ren.
Tang Ren smiled, “No problem, those people are indeed here to protect you!”
“Luo Shan said that under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t interfere with your conflict with the Jiang family...”
“However, he heard that a Great Power within the company used to be a good friend of an Ancient God’s generation. He doesn’t want the Ancient God’s lineage to become extinct, so, he has decided to step in...”
“However, the extent of his intervention is limited to protecting you and does not cover aiding you in attacking the Jiang family!”
Du Gang nodded. It’s best for him to settle his vendetta himself!
If they were to offer limited protection without delivering him to the enemy, he would be very grateful.
Tang Ren continued, “The domain lord level powerhouse leading this time is called Young Master Kong Xu, said to be the grand-disciple of that Great Power! ”
“Young Master Kong Xu...”
Du Gang looked relaxed and said, “So, I should go check out the situation?
Tang Ren nodded, “Yes, according to Luo Shan, this Young Master Kong Xu has brought some words for you...’
“I see. Thank you, Dean. My training here will end in about half an hour. I’ll go then!”
After hanging up, Du Gang instructed Balala: “Send a message to the Virtual
Universe Company that I will return in half an hour!”
It wasn’t a lie. He could leave this core hexagram area in half an hour.
So, he would return later. After all, the Pangu Continent only had sixty-four core hexagram areas, each with limitations. You can only stay for one day in a year, hence, he didn’t want to waste a single moment.
More than fifty families on Pangu Continent had formed a God Slaughter Alliance, and placed their contact point in the virtual universe.
At this moment, representatives of over fifty families had gathered at the base to hold an emergency meeting.
“We just received news that the Virtual Universe Company has intervened and sent people to protect the Ancient God!” “Damn it, how many people have they sent?!”
“More than a thousand Domain Lords!”
The crowd glanced at each other, “More than a thousand Domain Lords, that’s not too many!”
Their alliance of over fifty families had close to three to four thousand Domain Lord Level powerhouses.
“The problem is, with these people guarding, dare we go to the doorstep to trouble the Ancient God?”
Indeed, while their power appeared stronger, the issue was, if you laid your hand on the Virtual Universe Company, they might send ten thousand Domain Lords, twenty thousand Domain Lords, or even Eternal Level strongmen.
“So what do we do?”
Ning Hongguang, in a rare moment of insight, quickly suggested: “Let the
Array Masters operate quickly. As long as they trap the Ancient God in the
Secret Realm and prevent him from leaving, won’t that solve our problem?”
At this moment, Kong Tai shook his head, and said: “No, the Array Masters said that it takes a day to lay out a Secret Realm. The arrangement of the remaining Secret Realms will take another fifty-one days.”
Fifteen days have passed, meaning that the Ancient God could no longer enter the Secret Realms he had previously entered. Therefore, they just needed to lay out traps in the Secret Realms not yet visited by the Ancient God.
“Fifty-one days?”
“Actually, it may not take so long because the Ancient God may enter a Secret Realm that has already been trapped during the process.”
Ning Hongguang scoffed, “So much time, even if it were only ten or twenty days, how do we kill him if he hides in the Virtual Universe Company today?” “Yes, the main issue at hand is this...”
“How are we supposed to deal with him if he hides in the Virtual Universe?! ”
Hearing the panicked voices of others, Kong Tai chuckled.
Seeing him still laughing, everyone frowned.
“Kong Tai, what are you getting at?”
Ning Hongguang had disliked Kong Tai for a while. When they both were in the Eighth District, Kong Tai constantly gave him trouble, attacking his intelligence.
“While everyone else here is distressed, you’re just laughing. What are you trying to do?”
Kong Tai shook his head, saying calmly: “All right, everyone, quiet down!”
Hearing he had something to say, everyone became silent, curious if he had a clever trick up his sleeve.
Kong ‘ral laugned, “NOW, we need to clear up one Issue!”
Soon, Du Gang delved into a secret realm once again, drained the energy within and entered the core gyro area.
For the past fifteen days, his body had been constantly absorbing energy, but his mind was focusing on cultivating the seventh Mystery.
Originally, according to his plan, he would endure patiently and upgrade his Domain from the sixth level to the ninth. Then he would look into taking his revenge.
However, it seemed that there was not enough time.
Two and a half months were not enough to make his Domain upgrade from the sixth to the ninth level. Let alone, even if his rank was elevated, he wasn’t certain he could kill the Sector Lord level experts.
Hence, he thought of another solution.
Previously, when his body size was at 3-7 million meters, he had grasped a thread of the Earth Element Original Law related to gravity when using the Stored-Force Strike and Sky-Breaking Strike.
With that thread of Earth Element Original Law, he immobilized over seventy Sector Lord level experts at that time!
Others might think he possessed the power to immobilize Sector Lord level experts. In reality, he could only use that thread of Earth Element Original Law to freeze them for a moment.
However, for an expert, a moment was enough to decide the outcome.
“So, what I lack now is a method to kill experts at the Sector Lord level!”
Du Gang learned from Tang Ren about the Sector Lord level, ordinary methods already couldn’t kill a Sector Lord.
Because a Sector Lord didn’t just have their body, but also a world inside them. As long as their internal world remained intact, they wouldn’t die.
Unless, like previously, he could use his Ancient Divine Spear and launch a Stored-Force Strike or Sky-Breaking Strike using his full power, destroying both the enemy and their world.’
But now, he couldn’t use the Stored-Force Strike, because without enough power accumulation, he couldn’t launch that attack.
“Now, I should put the comprehension of the seventh Mystery of the gold element on hold and find a way to kill experts at the Sector Lord level!”
In two and a half months, even if he stayed in the core gyro area continuously, he still wouldn’t be able to amass enough energy to advance to the Sector Lord level.
The problem of the Mysteries also lay ahead. If he didn’t comprehend it to the ninth full circle stage, he couldn’t form a World Domain and naturally couldn’t harm a Sector Lord.
Having thought through this, he ended up calling Kong Xu again.
“You called me so soon?”
Kong Xu chuckled softly.
Du Gang didn’t mind that and directly asked, “Kong Xu, I need to ask, if I want to kill a Sector Lord at the Domain Lord level, how can I do it?!” Kong Xu smiled and said, “I thought you wouldn’t ask...”
“Actually, you already know the answer I watched the video of you killing those seventy-plus Sector Lord level experts. At that time, you used a thread of an Earth Element Original Law to immobilize them.. ”
“A Sector Lord expert usually only has a World Domain, formed by the fusion of nine mysteries into a World Law...”
“Therefore, you need to understand a stronger Law to kill them!”
“The Original Law is something only Eternal level experts can comprehend. If you can comprehend a thread of an attack type Original Law, then you can kill a Sector Lord.”
After hanging up the phone, Du Gang started pondering again.
“The Law of Light and Darkness, what I know now, is essentially auxiliary types of Laws, and even if I ultimately comprehend a thread of the Original Law, it wouldn’t be useful...
“The Spatial Law is also the same, it pertains to speed and can’t help me kill a Sector Lord!”
“There is only a hint of Original Law related to gravity in the Earth Element Law, and I don’t even understand the mysteries of the common Earth Element law. It’s too hard to comprehend anything more!”
“So, I should start with the Gold Element Law!”
His understanding of the mysteries of the Gold Element Law is mainly offensive. If he could comprehend a hint of the Original Law, it would certainly be an offensive method.
However, Du Gang had no idea how to comprehend a hint of the Original Law.
According to Kong Xu, there are Sector Lord Level Powerhouses who have comprehended the Original Law!
But, those who are at the Domain Lord Level and have comprehended the Original Law are basically non-existent!
Even Luo Shan at that time, he only sought revenge against the Ning Family and his own family after breaking through to the Sector Lord Level.
But the problem is that the resources Luo Shan needed to break through to the
Sector Lord Level were a ten-thousandth of what Du Gang needed, and the
resources from the Academy were enough..
“What should I do?”
Du Gang’s brows were furrowed, “According to Kong Xu, usually, when the
Ninefold Law reaches full circle and fuses into a World Law, and then from the Ninefold World Law of the same series, a hint of the Original Law can be glimpsed...”
“I don’t even have a World Law, so how can I comprehend the Original Law?” “That hint of Earth Element Original Law, I have no idea how it originated. It came about naturally as I reached a certain size...”
Indeed, that hint of Earth Element Original Law related to gravity was naturally comprehended when the Ancient God’s body reached a million meters in size and had little to do with him!
“Where should I start?!”
Du Gang was completely dumbfounded, not knowing where to start.
Without any direction.
“It would have been great if upgrading the Ancient God to a million meters naturally led to the comprehension of the Gold Element Original Law...”
He casually said that, but he froze for a moment.
“The naturally comprehended Original Law?”
Du Gang suddenly thought of something.
“Wait, all the ancient gods of the past have mainly focused on the Gold Element Law, mainly on offense. I have never heard of an Ancient God who mainly focused on the Earth Element!”
“Therefore, the Ancient God will certainly, at some point, naturally comprehend the original laws of the Gold Element offense!”
“Comprehend a hint of the Earth Element Original Law at Domain Lord Level, comprehend a hint of the Gold Element Original Law at Sector Lord Level...”
It was easy for him to guess at what state the Original Law of the Gold Element would appear.
“Where does that hint of the Gold Element Original Law come from?”
Du Gang fell silent.
He closed his eyes and began to think deeply.
After thinking for two hours, he finally opened his eyes.
He blurted out: “Ancient Divine Spear!”
In an instant, the Ancient Divine Spear that was originally hidden in his ear and was gathering power was manifested by him.
He held it in his hand and looked at this Ancient Divine Spear, revealing a brilliant smile.
“The Ancient Divine Spear, the weapon used by the Ancient God of our lineage from the first generation...”
“Every generation of Ancient Gods, it accompanies them by their side, causing all the Ancient Gods to mainly cultivate the Gold Element Law!”
“So, that hint of the Gold Element Original Law comes from the Ancient Divine Spear! ”
Du Gang’s eyes were growing brighter and brighter.
“It’s not wrong, the Ancient Divine Spear has the power to break all laws. It even broke the world domain of the Sector Lord Level powerhouse before...”
“However, the Original Law of the Gold Element in the Ancient Divine Spear might be solidified in the weapon in a way that I do not know or understand, so with my current ability, I can’t actively use the power of its Original Law...” “So how do I comprehend the Gold Element Original Law?”
After pondering for a while, Du Gang decided to throw the Ancient Divine Spear!
In this space, he will keep throwing it, hoping to comprehend a hint of the Original Law from it.
Having figured that out, he enlarged the Ancient Divine Spear to a length of 16,180,000 meters, conforming to the golden ratio suitable for his own use, before he began to throw it.
“Whoosh!”
The moment the Ancient Divine Spear was released, Du Gang followed it at a speed of three times the speed of light, closely observing it.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
The spear and the person instantly crossed the boundary and came to the edge of this space. Just as it was about to collide, Du Gang pulled back the Ancient Divine Spear.
He saw nothing in the first throw.
But he didn’t give up, he changed direction and threw it again!
“Whoosh!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
The moment the Ancient Divine Spear flew out, Du Gang followed it again, keeping parallel as he observed it continuously in the air.
If anyone could experience Du Gang’s perspective, they would find that in his eyes, both he and the Ancient Divine Spear were stationary.
“Retract!”
Just as he was about to touch the other side of the space barrier, he decided to retract the spear.
The second time, he still came up empty-handed.
However, Du Gang did not lose heart. His years of meditation had made his mindset calm, so he was not in a hurry.
So, he threw it again and again in this space.
Even though the space wasn’t very big and they could surpass the speed of light by three times, they could still throw it around a hundred times a second.
Ten thousand times!
A hundred thousand times!
A million times!
Finally, after trying for the eight millionth time, Baralala suddenly opened its mouth.
“Du Gang, in three seconds you’ll be kicked out of this space, you need to shrink! ”
Seeing this, he finally stopped and quickly, along with the Ancient Divine Spear, shrunk to the size of a bacterium.
Three seconds later.
“Whoosh!”
A sound that only he could hear sounded.
Looking again, he was already outside.
Around the teleportation array, there were still a bunch of Sector Lord Level powerhouses sitting down in vain, continuously constructing defensive formations.
Du Gang snickered, quickly left, and headed to the next secret realm.
So that’s how it was, time became monotonous again.
He started to appear in and out of various secret realms.
While continuously absorbing energy with his body, he was also frantically throwing the Ancient Divine Spear, gaining an understanding of the truth contained within.
So, every day, he would move positions once and he would also throw the spear more than eight million times every day.
A month passed, and one and a half months were left until the appointed time.
“Three seconds!”
With Baralala’s reminder, Du Gang quickly became the size of a bacterium, waiting to be teleported.
Three, two, one.
Quickly, three seconds passed and Du Gang stood still in this space, not moving at all.
“What’s going on?”
The fourth and fifth second quickly came.
He frowned and said: “Baralala, is your timing algorithm broken?”
Baralala shook its head: “No, the time is not the problem. There’s something wrong with this space!”
Meanwhile, in the outside world, a news that shocked the Qiankun Continent suddenly spread on this day.
God Slaughter Alliance: “The Ancient God has died!”
