Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

[Trafford]

Soon enough, as more and more Automatons were being destroyed by Muzaka Kallikratos, who entered his final wolf transformation, the computing capabilities of the Commnader Automaton were decreasing at a fast pace.

And as the computing power of Commander Automaton recreated, the fight graduated to a new level. Yakou was able to hit the Commander Automaton more and more often, even managing to slash off the second limb, which was holding the energy cannon.

At the same time, Commander Automaton was attacking more and more ferociously, faster and stronger, because it was aware that the moment his computing power fell below a certain threshold, he wouldn't be able to counter the Future Sight of his opponent.

Just as Commander Automaton was about to attack Yakou after another exchange, the Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki Clan grinned as he outstretched his palm and Commander Autoamton stopped where he was before he was thrown at the lightning speed away.

His trump card, which was hiding for some time, had shown its worth.

Magnetokinesis...

And special ability he obtained after Awakening his Bloodline.

He was hiding this ability as a trump card against the Automatons.

It paid off because the very own second Commander Automaton crashed onto the ground; Yakou conjured a huge cube of Dust Release and shot a concentrated beam of Dust Release directly a the Commander Automaton.

In a split of a moment, the Commander Automaton lost major parts of its mechanical body as left part of its humanoid body was missing entirely, together with two of its spider legs.

Still, the Commander Automaton started rebooting itself as it started working on emergency mode.

Even Yakou was surprised that the Commnader Automaton could still go on, but he knew that these machines, especially the elite units, had several power cores inside their bodies so they could continue going on even under the most severe conditions.

Not to mention, Yakou could see that tiny nanomachines were already repairing the Commander Automaton at a slow pace.

Probably within a few hours, large parts of his body would be repaired; considering the state the Commander Automaton was in, it was a rather fast pace. The nanotechnology of the Automatons was incredibly advanced to keep them going even in this state.

Considering the situation, the Commander Automaton went all out, as it redirected all of the Automatons in this location to rush here and attack the Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki Clan with everything they had.

At the same time, Muzaka Kallikratos was doing everything to destroy as many of them as possible, so Yakou won't be overwhelmed by the endless hordes of machines, as there were still thousands of them.

Even though most of them were weak, very weak, but they had numbers and could employ some trap formation... in this level of fight, even one second of opportunity could decide over life and death.

Not giving the Commander Automaton any more time, Yakou activated his Magnetokinesis to the maximum as he controlled several hundred tonnes of debris from the automaton spaceship and shot it all towards the Commander Automaton.

At the same time, the Commander Automaton was dodging the flying debris from its ship; Yakou was conjured ten of cubes of the Dust Release as his katana hovered around him, prepared to be used as a defense measure in case he was attacked.

Not even a moment later, as Commander Automton dodged enomroíus piece of metal, he was hit by a beam of Dust Release, disintegrating another of his remaining spider legs, as the machine lost balance and fell onto the ground.

Instantaneously the nanomachines that were preparing the Commander Automatons devoured some of the metal debris from the spaceship and created new limbs for the Commander Automaton in a split of a moment.

Obviously, these limbs were much weaker than the original ones and they were even poorly added because it was made with tremendous haste. Yet, Commander Autoamton didn't have any other choice.

Unfortunately for him, his calculations proved to be inefficient when countering the Future Sight of his opponent, as most of the other Automatons with strong computing power were already destroyed by Muzaka Kallikratos.

Yakou grinned, seeing that the Automaton was regaining his mobility as he clapped his hands and all ten of Dust Release cubes exploded and transformed into huge beams of concentrated Dust Release shooting towards the Commander Automaton.

Now that he comprehended the Dao of Dust to Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level, its destructive prowess were absolutely frightening as everything that the Commander AUtomaton threw to stop the beams were turned into nothingness.

Immediately he was hit by four beams, obliterating the upper part of his body; now only his spider part remained. As the more humanoid part of the body remained, its combat prowess was lowered by approximately 70%.

Suddenly as Yakou was already sure that Commander Automaton was destroyed, he heard beepings as his pupils constricted and enormous explosions happened as the Commander Autoamton self-exploded almost within one second.

Everything in diameter of several kilometers was turned into wastelands and myriads of explosions because Commander Autoamton ignited the Nuclear Fission Reactor in his lower spider body.

Causing the explosion to have tremendous power.

Fortunately, this was Super High-Level Planet; if it was an ordinary planet not strengthened by Nature Energy, then it would have long ago been severely damaged from the self-destruction of Commander Automaton.

"Dammit, hopefully, that horned idiot is okay... Yakou! Yakou!"

Several minutes after the explosions quieted down, Muzaka came to the place where Ōtsutsuki Yakou was fighting against Commander Automaton.

As Muzaka was master in controlling Aura and Life Force, he could sense that his friend was still living... but he was injured pretty seriously from the explosion.

As the dust settled from the explosions, Muzaka was finally able to localize Yakou, who was barely able to walk.

His armor was seriously damaged, and he was bleeding from his eyes and all around his body; there were countless burn marks on his skin.

Fortunately for the Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki Clan, in the last second, he was able to activate some of the defensive Fūinjutsu Seals that blocked some of the explosion's power and his armor also did some help.

Due to his powerful bloodline, he was also slowly healing, but he could feel that he got it rather badly as he expedited most of his Chakra to survive the explosion.

Seeing that Muzaka was already here, he saw that the werewolf heir was rushing towards him and as soon as he arrived, he used some of the healing techniques to stabilize his state.

"You look like shit... didn't see that?"

Yakou could sense heavy sarcasm in his voice but chose not to comment on that...

It was his own arrogance that he didn't keep using the Senrinjōnegan's Future Sight to the last moment of the fight and the Commander Autoamton used the window of opportunity to self-destruct.

If he were weaker, he would have died.

When Yakou could move his right hand properly, he took out Low-Grade Chakra Fruit from his Dimensional Space and ate it in one go. Instantly he felt his Chakra Reserves being filled by another 30% to 40% and his injuries were disappearing at a visible rate.

[Trafford]

After the preliminary healing and eating of the Chakra Fruit, Yakou was in a state where he could fly and teleport once again, as most of his injuries, especially the most grievous ones, were already slowly healing.

Fortunately, Yakou had a few Low-Grade Chakra Fruits.

These were given to him by his mother in case he was severely injured, like this time. With single Low-Grade Chakra Fruit, Yakou was able to regain enough Chakra for his tremendous regeneration to kick in and heal in record time.

Even the Low-Grade Chakra Fruit was priced at around a million Cosmic Crystals across the Starveil Origin World and the price was even higher according to what Yakou heard when some of the powerful Elders sold them to the stronger Origin World.

Coupled with Muzaka's healing techniques, after twenty minutes, he was out of any danger and his state was stable. Even though his healing techniques were not something very special and Muzaka wasn't proficient with them, it still did a great job.

Manipulation of Life Force often proved to be one of the best methods of self-healing or healing others, even though it was one of the most basic healing methods.

Obviously, he would need at least a few days to heal completely, but at least now, his injuries were not worsening.

"Come on; we can return back to the God Tree... I will send puppets to pick up these scraps."

Right now, Yakou planned to rest and recuperate completely while sending puppets to clear out the straps that had remained from the Automatons. He was sure that after the loss of Commander Automatons, several ships filled tens of thousands of Automatons.

Not to mention, this planet wasn't that precious to the Automatons to the point where they would be sending here more and more Automatons.

Even though these losses may sound meager to the Automatons, they were actually huge, considering what they could gain.

Assuming the fact that the Ōtsutsukis were pushing the front and conquering one Star Cluster after another, they had more pressing problems.

Yakou knew that Clan already started sending even some Holy Lords to the depths of the Unknown Regions.

***

Unnamed Subcontinent, Planet Deria, God Tree Sapling

When Yakou returned to the unnamed subcontinent together with Muzaka, he was welcomed by a Kirihara bear hugging, which was already worried about him.

Evidently, she was watching everything through her Senrinjōnegan and saw how he was fighting against Commander Automaton.

Kirihara didn't say anything as she started wordlessly tending to his injuries.

With her Tensei-Sharingan, she saw that his Chakra Pathways were a mess, injured from overusing his Chakra and if not for the Low-Grade Chakra Fruit, he would be facing severe Chakra Exhaustion.

"You look terrible, but with this, you should be healed within a few days."

Kirihara said as she finished applying medicine to his wounds. While she was having a hard time of expressing it, even Yakou noticed that she was worried about his well-being, which made him smile lightly.

"Thanks for your help."

Yakou thanked her as she huffed before he sat cross-legged down below the God Tree sapling, which was close to blooming and becoming a full-fledged God Tree.

As he looked at the towering form of the God Tree, he calculated that it would need a few more years to grow fully and then this planet would be theirs.

It seemed that the germination time of the God Tree was lower than he initially expected, but right now, after the main dangers were dealt with, it didn't matter.

After Yakou activated his third eye a few times, he didn't sense any danger for the incoming years, so everything was okay. Then he sat cross-legged below the God Tree as he let nature take its course because his self-healing factor was already working at 110%.

Meanwhile, Yakou was healing from the injuries; his other three companions stood on guard in case something happened, just to be sure. Ōtsutsuki Kirihara was occasionally checking on him to see if he was healing properly and not accumulating any hidden injuries.

He was also fed with several types of different medicine, some of which were pretty precious even to them, but due to overusing his Chakra, he injured his Chakra Network and Chakra Coils, which could have disastrous aftermath if not healed properly.

***

As he predicted, within several days, Yakou healed to 100% and he was going through the spoils of war together with Kirihara. They managed to gather a lot of things after the Automatons and all of them were worth a lot of Cosmic Crystals.

When he returned several days ago to the God Tree, he ordered the artifact spirit of the warship to dispatch the puppets to clean out the debris after the Automatons, collect everything so nothing would remain there.

And it paid off because they managed to gather things worth millions of Cosmic Crystals; this was a staggering number for the ordinary person in the Starveil Origin World. Truth to be told, this would be an extraordinary amount even for powerful Saint Realm Cultivators.

Just the remains of the Automaton ship that was not destroyed by his Dust Release was worth of more than 2 million Cosmic Crystals.

Not talking about tens of thousands of Automaton bodies ranging from F-Grade to C-Grade, which were worth another 1 million Cosmic Crystals, mainly due to their sheer number.

With other things, they managed to gather things worth of 3,5 million Cosmic Crystals, which were divided 70:30 between Yakou and Muzaka.

As Yakou destroyed most of the things and defeated Commander Automaton, he took things of approximately worth of 2,450,000 Cosmic Crystals.

There was also a fact that Muzaka wasn't interested in taking a larger part of the loot, despite his attendant's remark about the situation. In the end, this results in rightful concerns of Juraki about the future of the Werewolf Tribe.

While for now, they would be useless to him at large, later, when he would go to the Origin Worlds that maintained some trade and relationship with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, he would have some money to pay for things.

Though he knew that sooner or later, he would need a tremendous amount of cultivation resources in the later stages and the Clan was providing only that much, so the rest laid on his own shoulders.

Either through the money he gathered or by completing the missions issued by the Clan.

All that being said, Yakou was pretty much satisfied with the end of the Automaton's attempts to take the planet Deria.

Even though he almost died from the self-destruction of Commander Automaton if not for his fast reaction.

Another 3 Years Later, Planet Deria

Another three years have passed like a flowing river as the God Tree would be blooming at any given time. It has already reached the highest stage of its growth it could possibly reach and Yakou could sense that it would be blooming at any given time.

When it bloomed, it would give birth to a Chakra Fruit, either it would give birth to several Low-Grade Chakra Fruits numbering at least fifteen, considering the size of a planet and the Tiers of corpses they used for the germination.

Or it would give birth to one or two High-Grade Chakra Fruits if they are lucky.

Unfortunately for Yakou, during the past three years, he didn't move with his comprehension of the Dao of Dust, which was still stuck at the Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level... this was undoubtedly frustrating for him.

Nonetheless, he knew there was nothing he could do about it aside from being patient.

He knew that he would need a few more decades until he comprehended the Dao of Dust to the Profound Mystery Level from its Embryotic Form.

Apparently, achieving the state of enlightenment like before was much harder than it seemed and previously, it was just a piece of luck.

Today as usual, Yakou was sitting and meditating under the God Tree, as he suddenly felt the Nature Energy started shifting from the Leylines towards the God Tree and then the density of the Nature Energy in the air was decreasing at a rapid pace.

This was a sign of the God Tree blooming as it was absorbing all of the Nature Energy from the planet. After it bloomed, it would condense the Chakra Fruit and the planet would be devoid of any life for upcoming centuries.

After a few centuries, the Ōtsutsuki Clan may come here once again to plant the God Tree...

This was possible only on the High-Level Planets and Super High-Level Planets because those were much stronger and could withstand the God Tree to a certain degree.

For ordinary worlds, it would completely destroy their Leylines, rendering them death worlds, only useful for mining ores and metal and other materials.

Soon enough, he sensed several bloody red fruits appearing on the top of the God Tree, which had fully bloomed. Instantly, Yakou went into action as he executed the technique and took control of the God Tree.

"Seven-Paths Technique: God Tree Control!"

His Senrinjōnegan shined brightly as a beam of chakra shot from his third eye towards the God Tree, essentially binding himself to the God Tree, which was right now under his absolute control.

Seven-Paths Technique: God Tree Control Technique was a crucial hidden technique that allowed Ōtsutsuki to fully control the God Tree like it was an extension of his own will. This technique of the Seven Paths was only taught to the Main Family members.

For the Branch Clansmen, they were taught a simplified skill for the God Tree Manipulation, which would give them way lesser control over the God Tree.

There were even a few cases when the Branch Clasnmen were killed due to weak willpower when they attempted to control the God Tree.

"Now, with the God Tree, the planet Deria could be considered fully under our control and we can move onto another one."

Yakou muttered as he would get 1,000 Contribution Points for this mission as he brought this planet into the fold of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Ordinary Planets were worth around 100 Contribution Points at max; High-Level Planets were worth something between 500 Contribution Points to several thousand.

Depending on their precise conditions and environment.

And Super High-Level Planets were worth above 5,000 Contribution Points.

Though the destruction of Commander Automaton would fetch him another few hundred of Contribution Points and he would soon have more than 10,000, which should be enough to exchange for some precious treasures...

Coupled with his status, he could get his hands on some good things.

"Now we need to wait until the fruits are ripe a few months before harvesting them... and then the Clan can send someone to take over."

Probably a few members from the Branch Clan would come and work on the planet Deria, as there were tens of thousands of them, but that was for what the foot soldiers existed in the first place.

Due to limitations placed on them, all Branch Clasmen could maximally reach only Tier 3 if they didn't undergo the Ancestral Awakening and became Ascended Members of the Main Family, where their limitations would increase up to Tier 4 maximally.

Yakou said as he looked at the God Tree, seeing that Kirihara was meditating under the God Tree while two werewolves went somewhere to train because, for them, it was already boring in this place.

Though not for Juraki, as he was a far more patient person, but his Lord, Muzaka was making much more trouble with his impatient nature.

The two members of the Werewolf Tribe were training together on one of the continents where they didn't need to care about the collateral damage. In those places they could fight however they wished because fighting in the vicinity of the God Tree was unacceptable.

There was the possibility of injuring the God Tree and as even the slightest injury to the God Tree would provide a great setback, Yakou sent two of them as far as possible from the God Tree if they wished to spar.

As he closed his eyes, he suddenly noticed that Kirihara was walking towards him with a smirk on her face, probably delighted from successfully planting and germinating God Tree on the planet Deria.

"It seems that the mission has been a success..."

Kirihara said as she sat down next to Yakou, who nodded in agreement as he observed his fainceé, who gracefully sat down.

"Yes, we now only need to wait until the Fruits are bloomed and we can harvest them before reporting to the Administration Bureau of the Clan and either take the next mission or return back home."

Like him, Kirihara was keen on going on a few more missions. As she was already more than seven hundred years old and preparing to break through to the Saint Realm, she was saving up Contribution Points.

That was because she wanted to exchange for some good things that could aid her in reaching the Saint Realm and also after she reached the Saint Realm, she could enhance her strength several times.

"Last time I was surfing through the reports from the Unknown Regions, I noticed that there was an increased presence of Divine Energy sensed in certain planets... The Clan even issued some missions to investigate it. I am thinking of going over to take a look; even if the Gods sent someone to cause chaos here, it wouldn't be probably anyone stronger than Lesser God."

Yakou then proposed as he thought over something and his fianceé agreed with him because she wanted some kind of revenge on Gods as she suffered a loss at the hands of Jashin last time.

[Trafford]

After another two years spent on the planet Deria, the time finally came as the God Tree gave birth to the Chakra Fruits as they were finally ripe for taking.

It was even shorter than he anticipated, as his three eyes were looking at the Chakra Fruits with anticipation.

The God Tree planted on the Planet Deria birthed five High-Grade Chakra Fruits, which was a lot, but considering the quality of fertilizer and the fact that this was a High-Level Planet with extremely potent Nature Energy, it was to be expected.

"So, are you going to do it or should I?"

Yakou asked his fianceé as they were together, looking at the Chakra Fruits with the same gleam in their eyes because they knew they could keep one for each of them while only needing to hand over the remaining three.

This was another privilege for the Divine Lineage Clansmen or some special Myriaded Ōtsutsuki, who could keep the yield of their work. Usually, even the members of the Main Family needed to hand over the Chakra Fruits they obtained from harvesting the Gods Tree.

"You could go..."

Kirihara said as Yakou then flew away and appeared above the God Tree, carefully harvesting the Chakra Fruits as they were pulsating with great power.

Even though they were cultivated without the Sacrifice of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Clansmen, they still contained tremendous power.

Yakou then harvested all five of them, keeping three of them inside of his dimensional space, while he passed one of the High-Grade Chakra Fruits to his fianceé and kept one to himself.

Right now, it was the best time to eat them and increase their strength before they departed for the next mission.

As the God Tree took root on the planet, the entire planet was essentially a safe domain for the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Even if they were attacked by some powerful Tier 3 Entity, Yakou was confident in fending them off with the help of the God Tree.

God Trees were also a reason why nobody was that foolish to actually even think about attacking Planet Tengoku, where the Ōtsutsuki Clan lived, because the entire Planet had hundreds, if not thousands, far more majestic God Trees.

Some of them were millions of years old and their purpose was not creating Chakra Fruits, but rather they were specifically created to serve as a defensive measure against the enemies of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"We should eat the Chakra Fruits right now before we take another mission. Right now the Chakra Fruit is fresh and from the fertilizer, I can say it contains more power than the average High-Grade Chakra Fruit."

Yakou stated, to which Kirihara agreed with his statement, as both of them sat down cross-legged below the God Tree and started eating the High-Grade Chakra Fruits. When Yakou bit into the Chakra Fruit, he suddenly felt a tremendous amount of Chakra entering his body from the Fruit.

He instantly circulated the Celestial Chakra Manual to properly distribute the Chakra around his entire body not to damage his Chakra Pathways and Chakra Coils that were absorbing and transporting that enormous amount of Chakra.

After several minutes he ate the entire High-Chakra Fruit; afterward, he started immediately cultivating the sutras of the Celestial Chakra Manual, slowly assimilating the power he gained from eating the Chakra Fruit.

He felt that his Chakra Reserves were increased steadily within the upcoming hours during his arduous cultivation season, not to mention, as he ate the Chakra Fruit, his comprehension of Dao of Dust that was on Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level increased slightly from eating the Chakra Fruit.

'Interesting, so this is the effect of the old path... even though my comprehension has increased a bit by eating the Chakra Fruit, I can feel that it is different from comprehending it myself... like it is missing something.'

Yakou was instantly able to tell the difference as he then focused on the Dao of Dust on Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level and started understanding what he gained from eating the Chakra Fruit.

For the next several days, Yakou was completely able to master the things he obtained from eating the High-Grade Chakra Fruit, especially the comprehension of the Dao of Dust of Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level.

Now he felt that his Dust Release was once again strengthened by another 5% which may not seem a lot, but it was actually a tremendous increase.

Not to mention with the help of cultivation of the Celestial Chakra Manual, he was able to control his newly increased Chakra Reserves without any side effects.

Yakou felt that if he were to undergo the test of the Clan, he would be around 3rd-Grade Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki Clansmen.

While he was not at the peak of Tier 2, he was already pretty much nearing it and reaching the peak of Tier 2 meant that he could start slowly preparing to break through to the Saint Realm like Kirihara.

While Kirihara reached 3rd-Grade of Tier 2 rather long ago; her combat prowess was actually much lower compared to Yakou because the Crown Prince was born with something that overpowered like Dust affinity and even awakened the rather strong ability of Magnetokinesis.

"Hmm, that felt good..."

Yakou muttered as he opened his eyes, only to see that Kirihara was still engrossed in deep meditation. Deciding that he needed to report to the Clan, he opened his Holo-Brain and reported the results of the Mission to the Administration Bureau of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

[Admission of the Completed Mission has been successful.]

[You have been awarded 1,500 Contribution Points for completing the Mission on Planet Deria.]

[For causing a certain degree of damage to the Automatons, mainly destroying the Commander Automaton, you have been awarded 500 Contribution Points.]

Yakou read the messages from the Administration Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan; as he smiled slightly before he took another mission and closed the Holo-Brain.

After he returned back to the Clan, he would need to hand over the remaining High-Grade Chakra Fruits, for which he would also receive some Contribution Points.

Thought right now, his account was holding more than 10,000 Contribution Points which was a lot...

Now he would just wait until Kirihara completed her cultivation season, which was taking a lot more time than his; probably her gains would be bigger considering her already actually higher power base as she was close to reaching the Saint Realm than he was.

For Yakou, it wasn't a problem to reach Saint Realm because he needed only some time to comprehend the Dao of Dust completely to the Profound Mystery Level and congeal a Dao Rune form the Dao of Dust in his Soul.

Another requirement was only perfecting the Genetic Code through eating the Chakra Fruits, which wasn't any problem for most of the Ōtsutsuki Clasnmen of the Divine Lineage and even from many of the Main Family.

Somewhere in the Starveil Origin World, Unknown Regions of Space.

Several days have passed since their merry little groups left the planet Deria; they soon enough arrived within the Star Cluster, where the Clan has noticed some remnants of the Divine Power.

When they noticed that there were remnants of the Divine Power, it could essentially mean two things.

One answer was that Gods were operating in this place, which would be pretty weird because it was very far from the Western Cosmic Region where the God Alliance was stationed.

One of the significant restrictions of being a God was that they couldn't leave far from their Divine Kingdom. As they have positioned all of their Divine Kingdoms in the Western Cosmic Region; more precisely, they placed it within the Core of the Western Cosmic Region.

Most of the Divine Kingdom was placed there, which meant that the Gods couldn't leave far from that because they would risk great weakening and easy death.

The second answer was more intriguing because it would mean the birth of Wild Gods on the planets, begins that were born from the mixture of Nature and Worship; they were not that restricted compared to the typical Gods that solely depended on Faith.

Most importantly, the Wild Gods were absolutely detached from mortal matters; they didn't care about anything aside from maintaining nature.

The relationship between the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the Wild Gods was pretty weird because some of them were very hostile to the Ōtsutsuki Clan due to the existence of God Trees and Chakra Fruuits, some tended to ignore them and some of them even worked together with them.

Despite two possibilities, there was also another one, the third one.

Instead of either Gods or Wild Gods, it was actually either Champion or Apostle of the Gods. Normally, if the Gods wanted to operate far from their Divine Kingdoms, they would choose to create Champions or Apostles.

As the warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was traversing through the endless space, Yakou was sitting on the commanding chair of the warship, together with Kirihara, who was sitting next to him, as they were observing the stars and planets.

Occasionally they would see some Black Holes or stars imploding because the Unknown Regions of Space were just recently created through the ever-expansion of the Starveil Origin World.

It was not stable yet and sometimes the rampant energies that ran through the entirety of the Unknown Regions of Space would cause great destruction to the space.

Yakou greatly enjoyed traveling stars together with Kirihara as they observed it together, while two werewolves thought it to be boring, so they went to sleep and would wake up only when they arrived at their targetted destination.

"No matter how many times I see it, it is still beautiful sight..."

He heard his fianceé say as they observed another Black Hole that appeared next to some planet that was quite distant from them and the planet slowly crumbled into pieces and was devoured by the Black Hole.

"Yes and fortunately, we are far from that dammed thing because if we were not in this ship, then death would be the only certainty that could await us."

Hearing Yakou, Kirihara scoffed at him because, from the two of them, he was pretty much a negativist person, but that was already something that she got used to. They had known each other for several decades already.

And recently, they spent around six or seven years on the planet Deria together, so their relationship grew closer over the passage of time.

"Right now, we should focus on more pressing matters, especially the situation with the Divine Power in that the Clan picked up in the Star Cluster. We need to perform Divination to see if it are Gods or not..."

Yakou said in a serious voice because he wanted to have this thing over as soon as possible.

Dealing with Gods wasn't something that he wanted to prolong and if possible, he wanted to get over with this mission and grab the Contribution Points that the Clan was rewarding for completion.

Hearing Yakou, she went to work as her Senrinjōnegan shined in bright blue color as the patterns swirled before she frowned deeply because the results were not to her taste.

Seeing Kirihara like this, Yakou could easily deduce the answer.

"So either God, very powerful Champion at least comparable to Lesser God or Wild God."

Preferably, Yakou would hope for a Wild God, as most of them could be reasoned with... especially if he could play his cards right and notify them about Automatons.

Wild Gods absolutely abhorred the machines.

Mainly because whenever Automatons came, they destroyed the cycle of nature through their relentless plundering of natural resources and even entire worlds. The Wild Gods didn't have territory and they were not bound to any world or realm within the Starveil Origin World.

They traversed through the entire Starveil Origin World and often fought against the Autioamtons and, to a certain degree, against a God Alliance of the Western Cosmic Region because their actions of enslaving entire civilizations or corrupting the worlds were not to their taste.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan was enemy, neutral or even ally depending on the faction of the Wild Gods. Some of the Wild Gods hated them to the core for planting the God Trees and sucking Life Energy from the Planets to condense their Chakra Fruits.

Some of them were neutral to the Clan and didn't care about them as long as they maintained certain level of cordial existence.

At the same time, some were even their allies and would ask the Ōtsutsuki to plant the trees on some worlds belonging to destructive civilizations that would otherwise destroy their worlds with no return.

"So what should we do next?"

Kirihara then looked at Yakou because, in the end, he was the leader of the group and was responsible for giving out the orders.

"We will need to scout each planet personally and perform Divinations on each of the planets within this Star Cluster... this would take around several years to complete if we move fast, but maybe we would be lucky and find our target within a few years."

They would need to go from planet to planet and use their Senrinjōnegans to perform Divination on each planet personally to see if it is the one where the Divine Power stems from.

"That sounds like a total pain in the ass."

He could agree with her statement, but unfortunately, their warship was not armed with the most advanced scanning systems and even if it was, it would still be highly probable that the Divine Entities would hide from the scans.

Planet Tengoku, Some time earlier

The inner structure of the Ōtsutsuki Clan consisted of Nine Halls that dealt with the daily matters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Each one of the Halls was led by a Grand Elder who was in charge of the Hall and each Grand Elder was an Empyrean Realm cultivator.

These Halls were:

Administration Hall was responsible for assigning missions to the Clansmen and domestic affairs of the Clan, management of the territory and so it... t was essentially the civilian government of the Clan.

Enforcement Hall was responsible for the military matters of the Clan, rules of the Clan and other things, led by only Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsuki, Ōtsutsuki Kenshin, but the one who had enough power to fight against Tier 5 entities and kill them under some circumstances.

Refining Hall, responsible for the development of technologies, integrating Chakra with technology, refining artifacts and other things.

Alchemy Hall was responsible for refining Pills, working with the Chakra Fruits and inventing things that could strengthen the Clansmen.

Sealing Hall was responsible for researching and developing the Fūinjutsu.

Scripture Hall was responsible for gathering, inventing and taking care of Cultivation Methods of Evolutionary Cultivation or other cultivation systems that they came across in different Origin Worlds.

Martial Hall was responsible for developing and teaching Martial Arts and Weapon Masteries.

Enlightenment Hall was responsible for the study of Dao, teaching Cultivation and other similar things and finally, there was Resource Hall, which was responsible for gathering resources for the Cla.

Around the time when the Planet Deria was secured for the interests of the Clan, the people at the Refinement Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan received the data from the ships of the Automatons.

Naturally, this was sent through the Artifact Spirit of the Warship in hopes that the Ōtsutsuki Clan would find something useful in the data banks of the ship that belonged to Commander Automaton.

Because the Commanders were Elties of the Automaton race, it was relatively unusual to see one of their kind there, considering that it was Automaton made from a B-Grade Alloy, capable of withstanding the might of Tier 3 Ōtsutsuki.

Somewhere in the Capital City on the Planet Tengoku, within the department responsible for technology, an elderly man from the Ōtsutsuki's Main Family was deciphering the information from the Automaton Data Banks.

One of the Grand Elders of the Ōtsutsuki's Clan, Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Ran, was going through the data that their Crown Prince obtained by destroying Commander Autoamton and his ship.

This obviously caught the attention of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's attention because they knew that the Commanders were rare and wouldn't be sent to Unknown Regions of Space without a good reason.

Even the expansion of their territory was not a good reason, something that their Crown Prince wasn't aware of. That was because it was considered as one of the more sensitive pieces of information within the Clan.

Especially the fact that each Commander Autoamton required some things to be constructed that even their Holy Lords would consider treasures, so it was most unusual to see one of them going to such a place as planet Deria.

Thus Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Ran, who was an elderly member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, an older man with long white hair and a long beard, was going through the data as his pupils constricted because he found something very disturbing within the data longs.

"This needs to be reported to the Patriarch..."

The Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Ran instantly disappeared from his workshop and appeared in the central hall where the Patriarch was staying to report the important thing.

The moment he appeared there, even Patriarch Ōtsutsuki Amakusa was surprised that one of the Grand Elders was coming to meet him personally before he became serious as this was not a usual procedure...

Something must have happened.

"What has happened Ran, for you to come here unannounced?"

Ōtsutsuki Amakusa asked with a severe voice because the Ōtsutsuki Clan loved their formalities and protocols... seeing one of their highest-ranking members ignore them completely signaled that the situation was equally severe.

"Several hours ago, I got my hands on data banks from Automaton Spaceship belonging to the B-Grade Commander Automaton that the Crown Prince Yakou destroyed in the unknown regions of space on planet Deria."

He made a short pause as Patriarch felt pride that his grandson was strong enough to destroy completely Tier 3 Automaton as 2nd-Grade Tier 2 Ōtsutsuki, but at the same time, he immediately grew to vary of the situation.

"And from the data banks or at least what remained from them as Crown Prince destroyed most of the ship with Dust Release, I found that the Commander Automaton was there on a mission to meet with Divine Emissary of the Faith God Alliance's with orders of securing their alliance on something."

As he said that, the atmosphere grew heavy... way heavier and way more tense.

"Is it the entire Faith God Alliance or just a faction within them?"

Patriarch Ōtsutsuki Amakusa asked because Faith God Alliance was, as the name implied, just an Alliance between various Pantheon that grouped together to fight against Evernnight High Council and Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"That is the most interesting thing in this... It seems that the Evil God Pantheon is acting behind the backs of the entire Alliance..."

Evil God Pantheon was consisting of the Evil Gods and they were not very well accepted within the Faith God Alliance, but aside from the Heaven Pantheon, they were the strongest one in the Western Cosmic Region.

"Interesting... most intriguing...Gods are meddling together with the Machines, but from a certain point of view, their alliance makes sense."

Patriarch Ōtsutsuki Amakusa was an experienced politician and knew very well that since joining the Faith God Alliance, the Evil Gods were rather restricted in their actions, as they couldn't carry out mass slaughter across the entire Western Cosmic Region but only at their own part of it.

This certainly earned the ire of many of the Evil Gods; many of them were dissatisfied with how things were, but unfortunately, there was no other way because only together with other Pantheons were they able to stand strong against the Evernight High Council and Ōtsutsuki Clan.

But as it seems, they couldn't hold it any longer.

"Where is Yakou right now?"

Patriarch Ōtsutsuki Amakusa asked about his grandson because he should be right now traversing the unknown regions of space.

"He is searching for the signs of the Divine Power that we sensed within the unknown regions of space. It should probably be the Divine Power of the Divine Emissary of the Evil Gods."

Hearing the Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Ran say that Patriarch has decided on the next course of action.

"Send this information to my grandson and inform him to be extra careful and capture that Divine Emissary alive... it seems that we finally have the opportunity to divide and conquer."

Patriarch said with a murderous grin as he looked at the Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Ran.

Evil God Pantheon was second strongest because it had two Overgods which were entities comparable to the Paragons of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Not to mention, the Evil God Pantheon was not well-liked among the other Pantheons and was especially hated by Heaven Pantehon, which was the strongest Pantehon with three Overgods.

The other three Pantheons, the Titan Pantheon, Forias Pantheon and Astral Pantheon, had only one Overgod each.

[Trafford]

Somewhere in the Starveil Origin World, Unknown Regions of Space.

As Yakou was having an afternoon tea, or rather just tea, because as they were in space, it was hard to tell what time it was, he was suddenly disrupted as he got a message with the highest-grade priority on his Holo-Brain.

'Divine Emissary from the Evil God Pantheon dealing with the Automatons... this is best... just this was missing here.'

Yakou cursed in his mind because this was practically the last thing he wanted here; just the dammed machines were enough for him, but no... there must always be some complications.

And this time, the complications were those dammed leeches.

"Change of plans... we finally know the identity of our big bad unknown..."

Yakou said to his fianceé, who was sitting across him drinking tea that she personally made for him, as she was pretty proficient in the tea ceremonies and it was her hobby, one could say.

"It seems that Evil God Pantheon has sent here Divine Emissary to gain some kind of alliance or deal with the machines."

The moment he said that, Kirihara immediately grew tense because she was aware of the indications of such an act.

One wrong move and the entire Evil God Pantheon may be besieged by the entire Faith God Alliance.

Even right now, their relationships were shit at best, especially with the Heaven Pantheon and Titan Pantehon hating the Evil Gods with passion.

Due to this situation, his grandfather ordered him to capture the Divine Emissary alive and deliver him to the Clan.

Then from there on, Ōtsutsuki Clan would deliver the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon to the Heaven Pantheon and just let things flow naturally.

At best, they would get civil war within the Faith God Alliance and at worst, it would end with the death of a few scapegoats, probably some Elder God and a few Paramount Gods.

Either way, it was a win-win situation for the Ōtsutsuki Clan and Evernight High Council, as with one move, they would weaken their enemy. While the Ōtsutsuki Clan was powerful and rightfully arrogant of their power and potential, they were not stupid.

They were aware that a full-out war against the Gods would cause them tremendous casualties even if they were sure of their victory.

So, their strategy was to weaken the Gods as much as possible before the war happened.

"Capturing a Divine Emissary would be no easy task... considering that this was ordered by the leadership of the Pantheon, then their Divine Emissary should have peak Tier 2 strength and for some time should be able to execute strength of Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki."

In the end, the Divine Emissaries were still just mortal humans that got elevated to a special status through the Divine Powers of the Gods. Their fragile human bodies couldn't handle to the overwhelming power of the Gods without breaking down after some time.

Nevertheless, this didn't make them any less dangerous because depending on which God elevated them, they would obtain some unique abilities of the said God. Neither Kirihara nor Yakou doubted that the Divine Emissary would be very powerful.

"Did you get the approximate location?"

Yakou nodded because, apparently, his grandfather used Clairvoyance to see the approximate location of the Divine Emissary.

Nevertheless, unfortunately, it was shielded by the Overgods of the Evil God Pantheon.

Thus they were able to get only the location of a few Star Systems where the Emissary was hiding or waiting for the machines.

"Not entirely, but the location was lowered to five Star Systems, so it is a good thing... we need to inform the wolves about this development."

Yakou said as Kirihara looked a bit sad that their time together was cut short as they had responsibilities to fulfill, but they would have other opportunities.

***

After informing the werewolves about the situation, everyone grew wary because dealing with the Evil Gods never ended well for anyone.

While the Evil Gods were not the strongest kind of Gods, mainly because their Divine Natures leaned more towards the concepts of "Evil" and "Curses" and other similar things...

While their combat prowess wasn't that high compared to, for example, pure Combat-type Gods or God-Kings, it was their nature of Evil that made them very troublesome opponents.

"The capture part will be the hardest on the list... not to mention, if the bastard has some Divine Artifact, it will make the situation even more problematic."

The only person among their group who had something akin to a Divine Artifact was Kirihara with her staff.

Even Yakou's sword wasn't any special weapon, just a rather above-average katana that the best Refiners of the Ōtsutsuki Clan forged.

"And for that, we need to ambush and capture the Divine Emissary as soon as possible and with my knowledge of Fūinjutsu, I should be able to seal the Divine Emissary for long enough not to allow him to use the Divine Artifact if he has one."

Yakou planned to use the Fūinjutsu to seal the Divine Artifact of the Divine Emissary if necessary... he was proficient in the Fūinjutsu enough and he had specifically learned some powerful seals that could be used against Gods.

While his Fūinjutsu wasn't that strong to seal the entire being of Divine Emissary as a whole, he had a few seals in his arsenal that should be able to seal the Divine Artifacts.

Yakou methodically prepared himself against the Gods because they were the direct threat of the Ōtsutsuki Clan within the Starveil Origin World.

Contrary to the Sage Clan, that was rulings parts of the Northern Cosmic Region and the only contact they had with the Ōtsutsuki Clan was in the Central Cosmic Region, where everyone was fighting against each other; Gods were different.

Central Cosmic Region was essentially abandoned and destroyed, devoid of any life. Only occasionally, some life would appear in that dammed place due to constant wars and battles between top powerhouses in the Central Comsic Region.

"That could work... then only the possessions or transformation are in-game."

Kirihara said because of their group; she had already dealt with Gods several times.

She even killed several Lesser Gods and countless Demigods when she was completing missions on the borders of the Western Cosmic Region and Southern Cosmic Region, so her expertise on these matters was most valuable.

"Sealing them won't work, really... I am not that powerful."

To seal such a thing, to prevent God from possessing its target would require especially high mastery over the Fūinjutsu. He would need to comprehend Dao of Seals to at least True Meaning Level, which was level after the Profound Mystery Level.

"Then fast attack and delivering crippling blow as fast as possible."

That seemed like the only doable solution to their problem.

"But we need to control our power; the mission is to capture the Divine Emissary alive."

Yakou said to three of his companions as Muzaka looked at him with a frown before the werewolf heir voiced his thoughts.

"Why can't we just kill the bastard and be done with it?"

As he said that, both members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and even his attendant Juraki looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"Because he far valuable alive... essentially living evidence that the Evil Gods are colluding on something with the machines and without him being alive, the Heaven Pantheon won't ever do something."

[Trafford]

Strictly speaking, Heaven Pantheon was the enemy of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and they wouldn't believe the shit that they said. Though Yakou could see some of the more short-tempered members of the Pantheon believe them even without evidence.

Especially some of the Archangels created by the Heavenly Father would probably listen to them, as the Ōtsutsuki Clan was way less evil than the Evil God Pantheon and some of them, like Uriel, would do everything they could to create a war between Heaven Pantheon and Evil God Pantheon.

Some of them just needed a reason for the all-out war.

But unfortunately, not every time we get what we want and the Heavenly Father was a wise and intelligent God who won't act against the Evil God Pantheon without concrete bullet-proof evidence.

And naturally, what was the best kind of evidence?

The Divine Emissary himself.

"What he wants to say is that the Heavenly Father won't act without bullet-proof evidence, My Lord. He is a very old God and very experienced who is very well aware of the aftermath of an internal war between the Pantheons of the Faith God Alliance."

Juraki explained to Muzaka in hopes that the Werewolf Heir would understand it, but neither of them put their hopes in that. Muzaka wasn't some profound schemer and he just liked to smash things.

He was the type who attacked first and then thought...

Most unfortunate for the future of the Werewolf Tribe, but fortunately, he was also the person who hated dealing with politics and other troublesome matters and had a tendency to leave it to his advisors.

So that counted as plus.

"Now, this topic aside, we need to act fast because there is the possibility of the information about the death of Commander Automaton getting into the ears of other Gods or Divine Emissary and we can't miss this opportunity."

After discussing their strategy for some time, Yakou ordered the ship to change the course the Star Systems, whose location he got from his grandfather as the hunt had started.

Fighting the Divine Emissary of Tier 6 God was something that he at the same time wanted to avoid, but yet, a certain part was boiling in anticipation for the fight.

Yakou, as proud member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, hated the concept of Godhood with passion, as he hated all of the Faith Gods.

Contrary to "cultivators" who termed some of their cultivation stages as "God", they weren't a "Gods" in a true sense because the only Gods that existed were born from Faith, Mythos and naturally, there was a very rare breed of Gods that were born naturally, so-called Innate Gods.

Still, cultivators named some of their stages after Gods, mainly because some cultivation stages had very similar abilities to the Gods and at the same time, some cultivation stages were entirely changing the very own fundamental existence of the said cultivator.

Yet the Faith Gods, as Ōtsutsukis called them, were disgusting creatures that leeched of Faith and if their religions were destroyed and their followers died, then there were only two fates that awaited them.

For powerful Gods, they would be just stuck at the same stage because their power was so great that they weren't already dependent on Faith and could go on even without it.

But that wasn't so for the rest of the Gods, who would slowly lose all of their power and in the end, they would die a very slow, agonizing and excruciating death.

"You should calm down... Your emotions are a mess and the hatred you are releasing right now starts clouding your judgment."

Yakou suddenly woke up from his thoughts as he heard the voice of his friend. Because the Werewolves were very close to nature, they were adept at sensing someone's emotions and intent, and both Muzaka and Juuraki could sense Yakou's hatred for the Gods.

Or rather, instead of hatred or disgust for their very own beings.

For beings that were slaves to their own power and without Faith, they were lesser than worms.

For a being that had their fundamental existence overwritten into amalgamations of their Faith and Mythos. As they were beings that absorbed Faith, they were soon remade into the image that their Followers and Worshippers had of them.

Yet, the Faith Gods, even according to his grandfather, who has ventured into different Origin Worlds, were a rare breed as they were something they had, something akin to true immortality because as long as their Faith was alive, it was almost impossible to kill them.

Not only he but also the rest of the Ōtsutsuki Clan despised the Gods, especially since they switched to Evolutionary Cultivation and started comprehending the Profoundness of Dao.

If not for that, they were slowly but surely heading toward the Path of Godhood that would slowly be their end.

Something that Yakou knew only from his grandfather, but the Faith Gods or beings that tried to imitate Godhood were typically hunted down no matter where they hid.

Either because some viewed their entire beings as valuable cultivation resources or from hatred.

"I apologize for letting my emotions out... now we need to focus on the task and soon enough, we will arrive at the first Star System. Muzaka and Juraki, you two will go out and engage the Divine Emissary in combat; their kind is arrogant even more than Ōtsutsukis, so you know what to do."

Yakou said as both wolves grinned; hearing that as they knew exactly what to do.

There was nothing greater than God's pride.

***

2nd of the Star Systems that were on the list...

They scouted the first Star System rather fast because it was relatively empty; there were only a few Stars and a small number of planets. The rest of them were celestial bodies were asteroids of various sizes.

As they arrived at the second Star System from the list that his grandfather gave him, Yakou suddenly got a bad feeling when they entered. This sort of precognition was the innate activation of the Clairvoyance of his Senrinjōnegan.

"I think we have found the spot."

He said to the remaining three as two werewolves looked at the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan suspiciously, but even Kirihara looked equally serious to her finaceé as her third eyes shined for several seconds as the patterns inside it swirled furiously.

"Yes, we have... we have seven habitable planets in this Star System, but I can feel weak Divine Power emitting from that one."

Kirihara said as she pointed at one of the seven planets in this Star System, to which Yakou activated the scans of the Warship and even used his own Senrinjōnegan to be absolutely sure that they had found their prey.

[Trafford]

Among the types of planets, the Mining Planets were those with rich mineral resources.

These planets are typically rich in various ores, precious metals, and gemstones; strictly speaking, most of such planets were devoid of most lifeforms found on many planets and there were no types of flora and fauna either.

Geologically, a mining planet may vary in composition, but it generally possesses a diverse range of mineral deposits.

It could be an entirely rocky planet or have a combination of rocky and metallic cores.

These planets might have undergone geological processes like volcanic activity, tectonic movements, and meteorite impacts, which have contributed to the formation and concentration of valuable minerals.

Due to the harsh nature of mining operations, the environment of a mining planet can be desolate and inhospitable. The atmosphere may contain high levels of dust, toxic gases, or other hazardous substances.

Barren expanses, rocky terrain, and huge mounds of discarded rock and waste material frequently marred the landscape.

The planet before them was typically an example of barren rock without any forests or oceans, just floating pieces of rock in the empty vastness of space.

"This is probably the ideal mining world... the scans are showing tremendous lodges of various types of ores and there are even naturally formed Chakra Stone Veins... most unusual."

Yakou said as he received the information from the scans of the Warship. This unnamed planet wasn't mapped within the star charts of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and was even outside of the influence of the Clan in the Unknown Regions of Space.

"That would be for a later date; now, we need to lock down the space. Artifact Spirit, lock down the space around the planet as stealthy as possible... we don't want the prey to panic."

His fainceé Kirihara said to the Artifact Spirit of the Warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan as it carried out the order and locked down the pace.

The Warship itself was a powerful artifact capable of many things; even locking down some area of space wasn't a problem for it.

The Warship naturally had the ability to lock down space, to prevent teleportation and Dimensional Travel; unfortunately, this was relatively new technology that the Ōtsutsuki developed, so it had a lot to work with.

It could prevent only a certain level of space locking, as it wasn't very advanced, though, for the purposes of the current situation, it should be enough. Preventing one Divine Emissary from teleporting should be an easy task.

Of course, that was considering the fact that the Divine Emissary won't have some kind of space-related artifact with him, which would teleport him out no matter how strong the space lock was.

"The Divine Emissary is right now resting within the depths of one of the cave systems of the planet. We need to lure him out from the caves before we can even move a bit and think about capturing the Divine Emissary."

Yakou said as he opened the projection of the extensive cave system to them. The entire planet was intertwined with countless cave systems, pathways and other things, making the entire planet a very extensive and complex labyrinth.

"Muzaka and Juraki, you two will go down and make a ruckus, forcing the Divine Emissary to go up... after he exits the caves, we can start the plan. Now, with everything being said, good luck."

As the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan finished his instruction, both werewolves went to the small shuttles within the Warship, stealthily bringing them to the surface.

They were employing the highest level of stealth in case the Divine Emissary was observing the area, as Yakou was very cautious when dealing with Gods.

Still, at the same time, he was also aware that compared to the other Pantheons within the Faith God Alliance, the Evil God Pantheon was the most restricted one...

While other Pantheons had Gods with various purposes and versatile usage, which stemmed from their Divinities, the Evil Gods were almost all combat-oriented or slaughter-oriented, which was very detrimental for them.

They lacked people that were skilled in aspects of healing, development, supporting...

Yakou even knew that they had only two Gods of Wisdom, which was pretty much embarrassing and due to that, their danger level wasn't that high when it came to things like spying or gathering information.

Though they were making up for this weakness with the number of Gods proficient in combat.

"Fortunately, there is nobody better than making chaos and ruckus than wolves."

Yakou said as Kirihara sat next to him and they were watching the life projection of what was happening on the planet as the shuttle with two werewolves landed.

And what were Juraki and Muzaka doing to lure out the Divine Emissary?

They started fighting as they unleashed their most powerful forms and started clashing against each other.

Just the aftershocks of their battle were enough to penetrate deep within the crust and could be felt hundreds of kilometers away.

This continued for several more minutes as they deliberatively fought in such a way as to cause the greatest destruction to their environment as possible, as it paid off approximately after another twenty minutes.

"He is moving."

Yakou heard Kirihara say as the target was moving from its original position and within three minutes, the Divine Emissary exited the cave system where he was hiding. Soon enough, the life feed in their ship showed the imposing figure of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon.

Both Kirihara and Yakou could deduce that it was some type of mutated and corrupted human.

At the same time, the mutation part stems probably from some kind of radion, most probably post-apocalyptic society, not something rare.

Young civilizations that developed too fast in the technological department tended to destroy themselves pretty often.

While the corruption stemmed from the influence of the Evil Gods.

The Divine Emissary was tall, around three tall, bulking with muscles with dark skin and a relatively humanoid appearance, still resembling his original race.

The corruption of the Evil Gods was twisting his appearance, giving the Divine Emissary disfigured appearance on his face or an additional part of limbs.

"It looks disgusting... death would be salvation for something like that."

Kirihara almost wanted to throw up every time when she saw someone that was deeply steeped in the corruption of the Evil Gods. The Evil Gods had a tendency to corrupt their followers, twisting them to their own image for meager bits of their power.

"Do we wait until they start fighting or now?"

Yakou just nodded absentmindedly because he was waiting for them to fight to make him move.

The moment of distraction was the most paramount thing in this capture.

[Trafford]

"Naturally, we wait... a proper fisherman always knows when to pull out the bait together with the fish."

Right now, the situation wasn't certain because as long as they were not fighting, everything could be reversed.

Regardless, once the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon started fighting against the Werewolves, then he would become vulnerable.

***

Meanwhile, on the unnamed mining planet, Muzaka and Juraki stopped their fight as they looked at the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon warily because they could sense its power from miles away.

Obviously, as the Divine Emissary was created by Tier 6 God, one of their Overgods, its power was nothing to scoff at, even though the very same power was slowly destroying his own existence.

In split of a second, Muzaka transformed into a much larger, more muscular and overall a more wolf-like form.

In this form, his claws elongate and become more blade-like, his entire body and eyes radiate a silvery glow, and his eyebrows turn extra-long with a horn-like curve. When transformed, his physical abilities and senses are greatly enhanced.

This was only his initial transformation, as Werewolves had more transformations depending on their lineage and those with Royal Lineage who could trace their direct ancestry to the mythical beast of Ragnarok, Fenrir could achieve even more fearsome transformations.

The Level 1 Partial Transformation was the one that Muzaka was using right now.

Then more talented Werewolves who attuned themselves to Nature and their inner Wolf and had some Noble Blood in them could achieve Level 2 Werewolf Transformation, where they looked like humanoid wolves.

Only the Royal Lineage of the Werewolves could achieve Level 3 Sacred Transformation, which only a few of their kind were able to achieve. Yet, the final Transfomration was giving them such fearsome power to compete even against the strongest Ōtsutsuki cultivators.

Faster than the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon could attack, Muzaka was faster and blasted an enormous beam of Aura, the Spiritual Energy that each of the Werewolves was able to manipulate directly to his face.

Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon was shot several kilometers away, crashing into the mountains, as only a huge mushroom of dust remained from him. Not wasting any time, Muzaka rushed at the Divine Emissary, attacking the humanoid with his claws.

Claws of the Werewolves are razor-sharp claws that are able to create airborne kinetic shock waves powerful enough to destroy the land for miles. Not to mention, skilled Werewolves could imbue their claws with their Aura, giving them the power to cleave a large mountain in half and blow away any objects in their path.

And the Werewolves with Royal Lineage had even extremely potent poison in their Claws, a very potent position that was able to kill weaker beings or those without proper Poison Resistance extremely fast.

Unfortunately, the Divine Emissary was from the Evil God Pantheon, so the poisons won't be working on him at all. The Divine Power of one of the Evil God Overgods would protect its Emissary from all kinds of poisons.

Still, Muzaka wasn't giving the Divine Emissary any time to breathe, as he kept punching and kicking at the humanoid abomination, completely distracting the attention of the Divine Emissary, so he was focused on nothing else aside from the ongoing battle.

All of this was observed by Yakou, who judged that this was the time, as he started preparing his Fūinjutsu to seal the Divine Artifacts of the Divine Emissary.

One thing wonderous about the Seals and Fūinjutsu as a whole was that one could develop seals almost for anything. And the Ōtsutsuki Clan had countless seals for the Gods and anything even remotely related to the concept of Divinity and Godhood.

Yakou used his blood as the medium for the Fūinjutsu Seals and on top of that, he tied the Seal to the Warship to make extra sure that the Seal won't be destroyed or breached in a short time.

"The moment I seal the Divine Properties on his body, attack him with the strongest illusion you can."

Yakou said to his finaceé as she nodded and disappeared from this ship.

When he saw that the Diivine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon was counterattacking after dodging one of Muzaka's punches, Yakou immediately went to work and released the Fūinjutsu Seal.

Suddenly, on the chest of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon, a Kanji Symbol appeared, symbolizing "Anti-Divine" as the Divine Emissary coughed a mouthful of blood before he was kicked into the stomach by the Werewolf Heir.

In a split of a second, another Ōtsutsuki appeared next to him as she swung her staff at Divine Emissary and used the strongest illusion she could muster to keep the Divine Emissary in a trance.

Meanwhile, this has happened; Muzaka attacked the weak spots behind his neck, knocking the Divine EMissary conscious while he was still in the illusion. All of this happened just within a few seconds, as several more Kanji Symbols started appearing all around his body.

All of them stood for the "Prison", "Seal" or "Anti-Divine", "Anti-Energy" and so on.

Even Yakou was tired from casting more than twenty Fūinjutsu in that short time, but he soon started recovering. He connected all of the seals to the core of the Warship; with this done, it would be night impossible for anyone to break the seals.

It would either require tremendous power to break through them or someone well-versed in the arts of Fūinjutsu and Seal Breaking. After the Divine Emissary was incapacitated, Muzaka lifted the Divine Emissary and brought him back to the Warship.

"Splendid work to everyone... bring that one to the container room; we cannot take any chances with the Gods."

This ship had a special containment room, which was essentially super high-level prison capable of imprisoning entities up to Tier 4 and even some weaker Tier 5. To be sure, nothing went wrong with the transportation of the captured target to Planet Tengoku.

This was because, while Yakou sealed the Divine Emissary, the thing was, if the Overgod who gave him his power wanted, he could easily break the seals. If the Divine Emissary contacted him, but fortunately, the Warship was blocking the connection.

[Trafford]

Warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, in Yakou's personal chambers.

Personal chambers of the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were not as lavish as one would expect from someone of his stature, but they still provided a sense of luxury.

It was simple, devoid of any decorations that other people of similar status enjoyed, but contained only the best products that the Ōtsutsuki Clan could provide.

Yakou was right now drinking Longjing tea that Kirihara provided and brewed as they enjoyed some time of peace.

They managed to successfully secure a relatively important planet for the further expansion of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and even capture the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon. For this, they surely managed to secure a lot of Contribution Points to the Clan.

"Where are those two idiots?"

She asked, annoyed because, after the fight, the two Werewolves continued sparring aboard of their ship.

"In the training room sparring..."

He sighed as he answered.

"At least they are not bothering us with their mess..."

Fortunately, the training room was soundproof and armed with several kinds of seals that prevented the battle from being heard through the entire ship.

"I have to say that this trip was very fruitful... and we got even to see the space in its glory."

It was rare that Yakou got the opportunity to leave Planet Tengoku, as his mother wasn't very keen on letting him leave Planet Tengoku. Only after he reached peak combat prowess of Tier 2 and after some persuasion could he leave the planet to complete some missions.

"You are progressing much faster; how long do you think you would need to reach Saint Realm?"

Kirihara asked him as they were drinking tea in silence. She wasn't a socially most apt person, and most of their meetings were... one could say weird?

"Even after all these years, you are very awkward if you want to say something but can't bring yourself to it."

While Yakou didn't let it out often, he was pretty observant about people around him... it was not an ability that he was born with, but rather, he had learned how to read people, as it wasn't that hard thing to do.

The only one thing that person needed was to be observant enough and capable of noticing even the smallest details, changes in behavior or expressions and so on.

He was very good at it, and due to that, he was easily able to tell if someone was lying to him or if someone was hiding something.

Hearing that, she frowned at his bluntness, but Yakou was always good at shocking people and he didn't like the flowery speech and dancing around topics. Not talking about the side effects of his speech, which would always throw someone out of his train of thought.

Yakou barely remembered things about his past life, even with the perfect memory he had... during the passing decades, his mind was instinctually pushing out most of his memories as human because he lost an attachment to them a long time ago.

Even in his first life, Yakou didn't care about the morals of humanity and strictly believed in the survival off the fittest.

No matter how the "advanced" the human civilization pretended to be and no matter how "sympathetic" and "moral" they played like actors, the survival of the fittest still penetrated through society.

Just like everything, it evolved into something new and something else.

In the age where everyone was spouting bullshit about equality and other nonsensical things that everyone knew deeply that was just a load of dragon dung, there still existed people superior and people inferior.

People who were rich, talented, physically beautiful, or powerful who would be naturally superior to those who were poor, without any particular talent or skill, those who were considered ugly according to standards of beauty, and so on...

Such was cruel human nature.

At least in the past, everyone was straightforward about it, but now they were hiding it behind the veil of things like equality and other fairy tales.

Homo homini lupus est... such was the fundamental truth of human society, and the sole reason why humans adjusted to morals was to prevent the extinction of their very own species.

Even though Yakou lived as one of the inferior people, who were often obvious to the truth, he still believed in the ideas of social Darwinism and survival of the fittest. Due to that, he didn't have a problem adjusting to the mentality of the Ōtsutsuki Clan even after he was reborn.

"Yes, I wanted, but I don't know how to approach the topic."

Kirihara said after a short time of consideration, but Yakou gave her her time to think over what she wanted.

Meanwhile, Kirihara looked at Yakou as she started thinking about the words her mother she said to her. While she appreciated that they were not rushing their relationship, at the same time, she felt that her fianceé wasn't very interested in pursuing their relationship.

Often she got the feeling that Yakou was only doing his duty to the Clan, and their entire relationship was built just on that.

Naturally, she was also aware that she wasn't an ideal partner because she was too either ignoring it entirely or just forcing him to accompany her on some dates. Yakou could see that she was deciding between something and that she was very nervous about it.

For the benefit of the doubt, he decided to just focus on drinking his Longjing tea in peace as he enjoyed the unique flavor and the effects of the tea on his soul. It was a precious type of tea, which was good for the enlightenment and comprehension of Dao.

Naturally, it was something that only a privileged among the entire Clan could drink. The thing was only growing on one special Super High-Level Planet that had a special kind of Nature Energy where the Longjing grew.

There it was harvested and directly brought to the vaults of the Clan.

Normally it was drank only by high-ranking members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

As he was drinking his Longjing tea, he didn't notice that Kirihara stood from her place and kissed Yakou on his lips as soon as he put down his tea cup.

She was passionate in her kiss after she overcame her initial shyness because she found out that she couldn't really convey what she wanted with words, so she did it with her actions.

After his initial shock, Yakou returned her kiss, which made Kirihara happier a bit, as she continued the battle for dominance that was taking place between them.

[Trafford]

Several minutes took for them to separate as neither of them said a word because Yakou just chose to be silent on this and let Kirihara say. But seeing that his fianceé wasn't saying anything, which was just adding up to the weird tension that was between them.

"So, it was some kind of biological reaction to my show of power or something else?"

Similar to dragons, the Ōtsutsukis were attracted to power and females sought powerful males, while males sought powerful females. For them, personal power was one of the deciding factors when it came to pursuing a romantic relationship.

So Yakou was thinking if her unstable emotions were stemming from the fact that his power was lately growing leaps and bounds; even right now, he was several times stronger than Kirihara.

"What do you think of this? Is it duty? Or is it physical attraction, or do you think of us of something else?"

After a prolonged silence, it was Kirihara who asked the single question as he fell into deep thought.

Among the Clan, cases of truly "love" relationships between the Clasnemn, especially among the Divine Lineage and some very powerful and noble Myraided Ōtsutsukis, were rare cases.

Those like his parents could be actually counted on one hand. His grandfather married out of duty because it was expected from him, and he and his grandmother grew romantically involved only after thousands of years of marriage.

Like most of the Clansmen, Yakou didn't really dwell on his feelings too much and because they had time, he was always taking space "there is enough time" and unfortunately for him, his experiences from his past life equaled to zero.

Though aside from the time he spent with high-class prostitutes to lose his virginity and to occasionally have sex, that was all.

He spent his life, the new life he was granted by training, because he firmly believed that only the strongest had the right to live; thus, he was using any advantage he was given to increase his power.

And it paid off.

"Frankly speaking, no, it is not duty and while physical attraction is certainly a factor, it is not the reason. During the time we have spent together, I have noticed that I started harboring feelings for you, though, at the expense of my own cowardice, I was waiting for you to make the first move... If I made one and got rejected, it would make it extremely awkward between us."

In the end, Yakou spoke his honest feelings as they were and Kirihara could understand him very well.

Their future marriage and the creation of a child between them was something set in stone and something that neither of them could avoid or influence.

Something like this, what was decided by the Patriarch and Elder Council, was something that neither of them could refute.

While Yakou was saying everything in his usual cold analytical voice, Kirihara could feel his emotions because he didn't bother to hide them, like hiding his body language.

"To your question... yes, partially like any other Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, I am attracted to power, that is an undeniable fact, but at the same time, I am attracted to you as a person."

Yakou could work with this and at the same time, he appreciated her honesty about the matters... obviously, if she told him that she was solely attracted to him as a person, he wouldn't really believe her.

"I think we could work with this."

Yakou said as they spent the rest of their journey to Planet Tengoku talking about their relationship and what to do in the future.

***

Planet Tengoku, some time later.

After they arrived at the planet Tengoku, the first thing Yakou did after landing down was that he passed the captured Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon to the people from the Enforcement Hall who were already waiting there for him.

There were several Saint Realm Ōtsutsukis and one Holy Lord Realm Elder who took the Divine Emissary into their custody from the sealed room.

After the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon was taken into custody, his unconscious form was transported to one of the Ancestors who could read his mind.

That was because they found out that his memories and soul were protected by the might of the Tier 6 Overgod.

Somewhere on the planet Tengoku, an elderly man of the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki was looking at the unconscious form of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon as his eyes shined brightly.

He stroked his long beard with a grave expression as he looked at the abomination before him.

"So that was their plan..."

Now that they have obtained the information from the Divine Emissary, they have a complete image of the situation between the two factions.

From the previous core of the Commander Automaton, they managed to obtain information that somewhere in the Unknown Regions of Space that was created recently was a Dimensional Pathway to an entirely new Origin World.

The Automatons wanted to exchange that world with the Evil God Pantheon for their support against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Other Pantheons hated machines because the Automatons were most commonly annihilated everything from the flesh.

Only the Evil God Pantheon would deal with the Automatons of the Architect System.

"If the rest of them knows that it would certainly create a civil war... interesting, but the matter with new Origin World cannot be ignored either."

From the information, they were aware that the Automatons had already started sending scouts on the other side, but the strongest that was allowed to cross over the Dimensional Pathway was only Tier 2 right now.

"It seems that I will need to make the trip personally; obtaining the Dimensional Pathway is the utmost priority for the Clan."

He was one of the three Paragons of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Right now, one of the Paragons was observing the planet known as Elemental Nations, while the other two remained within the Planet Tengoku.

Closing his eyes, he sent a message to the Patriarch and all Grand Elders to call a meeting of the Elder Council to decide on the plan.

While from the information, they were aware that the new Origin World wasn't very strong... but at the same time, it was still a huge Origin World, approximately as big as the Starveil Origin World.

The resources they could obtain from it are tremendous.

Headquarters Ōtsutsuki Clan, Planet Tengoku, Celestial Hall

The Celestial Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan is a majestic and ethereal place where the most powerful of the Clan meet to discuss the most important matters.

It was a place where the Immortals of the Clan, powerhouses and other important members discussed the most important affairs of the Cla and its development.

The Celestial Hall is located in the highest reaches of the vast and mystical Heavenly Creed Mountain, hidden from mortal eyes and accessible only to those who have achieved a certain level of cultivation of the Holy Lord.

It was a place of breathtaking beauty, with clouds swirling in vibrant colors and sparkling streams of Celestial Chakra flowing through the air, but way more intense compared to the other parts of the Planet Tengoku.

There were tens of God Trees planted all around the Heavenly Creed Mountain, giving the entire place an unnatural feel of tranquilness and ethereal wonder.

Aside from the God Trees, there were countless powerful Chakra Beasts and Mythical Creatures that were living in the Heavenly Creed Mountain, calling the place their home.

Inside, the Celestial Hall reveals itself as an expansive and resplendent palace adorned with intricate carvings and delicate golden accents.

The halls are lined with shimmering jade pillars that seem to emit a soft glow, casting a surreal light across the surroundings. Enchanted lotus ponds, teeming with vibrant flowers, fill the air with a sweet fragrance.

The Central Hall, known as the Hall of Heavenly Unity, is where the most esteemed Immortals convene. In the middle of the Hall, there were several thrones, with one of them being the biggest and highest compared to the other.

That was the Throne of the Primogenitor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Lord Shibai, while directly below them, a few stairs lower, there were three Thrones belonging to the three Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The three Paragon Realm experts of the Clan.

And below them, in a circle pattern, were ten Thrones, each belonging to one of the Hall Masters and Grand Elders of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and one belonging to the Patriarch of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Because Lord Shibai has been absent from the Clan for a very long time already, his place usually remained empty at the meetings of the Elder Council, while Ancestors rarely participated in the meetings and rather focused on their cultivation.

Today was an exception to this rule because not only all Grand Elders were in attendance, including the Patriarch, but also two of three Ancestors were sitting on their Thrones with their eyes closed and observing the situation.

The two Ancestors attending were Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang and Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha, who had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with long white hair. She was also the youngest of the Anceostrs and a young member of the Clan to reach the Paragon Realm.

She became Paragon Realm cultivator only a few tens of millennia ago.

As Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang was preparing to speak because he called for this meeting of the Elder Council, suddenly, the Eternal Throne of the Lord Shibai started shining brightly, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Everyone knew what was happening.

Lord Shibai has returned to the Clan.

As Lord Shibai appeared on his Eternal Throne, everyone in the meeting room kneeling, greeting the supreme ruler of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, their Primogenitor and leader and also a sole, sole Autarch Realm Ōtsutsuki, Overlord-Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform, the Tier 7 Transcendental Being of their Starveil Origin World.

Lord Shibai didn't say anything as he waved his hand and motioned for the meeting to continue because as he came back, he saw everything that happened within the Clan.

With his cultivation and abilities, there was nothing that could escape his sight.

"Now, from the searching through the soul of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon and databanks of Commander Automaton, both procured by Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou, we have found the Dimensional Pathway connecting us to another Origin World. In case of this, I have some good news and bad news."

Everyone in the room was aware of the Ōtsutsuki Yakou's feats this time because he had made tremendous contributions to the Clan, despite not being fully aware of the consequences.

"So what are they?"

Asked one of the Hall Masters, more precisely the Hall Master, Ōtsutsuki Kenshin, who had reached the Empyrean Realm only a few months ago during the fight against one of the Elder Gods of the Faith God Alliance who almost killed him.

"The bad news is that the machines have already sent a large number of their scraps into the new Origin World to create a base there. The good news is that the strongest entity in the entire Origin World is around 1st-Grade Empyrean Ream, so anyone of us could squash it to death."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted and stressed at the same time.

Everyone was delighted that they found Origin World that was strong enough to give birth to a Tier 5 entity...

Such a thing was relatively good because it made them a rather easy target for conquest and considering the state of the Origin World, they would obtain tremendous resources as the world was somehow strong.

But on the worse side of things, the machines already took a foothold in the world and would cause trouble for them, so they needed to act as soon as possible and take the Dimensional Pathway away from them.

"And to make the situation worse, the Dimensional Pathway is allowing only people of Tier 1 and Tier 2 to cross over."

This instantly made everyone sour hearing that...

"I can use my power to adjust the Dimensional Pathway, but it will take some time."

After several seconds of silence, Lord Shibai spoke for the first time in a deep voice, as everyone gave him a bow before they returned to the meeting.

"We need to send someone to make the foothold and prepare for the all-out invasion and destabilize the entire Origin World by the time we start a war."

Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan voiced his opinion as others agreed with him.

"Small squad of about a hundred Clansmen should suffice, right now the strongest Tier 2 Clansmen and only step away from reaching the Saint Realm are Crown Prince Yakou, Ōtsutsuki Dōma, Ōtsutsuki Gin and Ōtsutsuki Bai Long."

Ōtsutsuki Muzan then proposed several people who should be leading their vanguard forces.

"All of them have combat prowess for standard Tier 3, while the Crown Prince could match Saint Realms in pure destructive prowess."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma was actually his grandson who inherited most of his abilities and was extremely powerful Myrdiaded Ōtsutsuki.

Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was Divine Lineage Clansmen, who was a descendant of one of the Ancestors, Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto and his talent in Path of Sword was frightening.

And Ōtsutsuki Gin was someone who was born with a special physique and ferrying affinity for the Lightning Element and grasp of Divine Tribulation Lightning.

[Trafford]

All four of them were collectively called Heanvely Four because they were members of the younger generation with the highest potential. All four of them were basically guaranteed to become Emyprean Realm cultivators.

And if they had some luck, then even becoming Paragon Realm was not out of the equation.

The only reason why the Ōtsutsuki Clan had so little of Empyreans and Paragons was that their existence was relatively short.

Compared to Clans, Nations or Sects that have existed for billions of years, their existence of a few million years needed nothing to be proud of. Yet even despite such a short time of their existence, they were able to cultivate extremely powerful cultivators and raise their Clan to unprecedented heights.

"That seems to be doable... with Crown Prince commanding the expedition and the other three present, we can ensure that they will succeed in their mission."

Said one of the Grand Elders because the fame of the "Heavenly Four" was too huge among the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"We also need to prepare a lot of resources for them to create a stronghold when the invasion begins. This is also Origin World with a relatively young cultivation system, but from what we found from the databanks of the Automatons, their cultivation system is not focusing on the comprehension of Dao... but more on the energy-gathering aspect."

Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief because Energy-Gathering Cultivation Systems were way weaker than those which focused on the comprehension of Dao. Most of the Energy-Gathering Cultivation Systems just functioned on accumulating enough energy and breaking through to the next stage.

This allowed their practitioners to have an easy time cultivating as long as they had enough resources and the majority of these cultivation systems were weak in terms of combat prowess.

"On the other hand, this also means that we can't learn much from their cultivation system as it is Energy-Gathering Cultivation System and those are virtually useless to us if they don't have a method of mutating their energies into Higher-Dimensional ones..."

Remarked one of the Hall Masters.

"Whatever... the resources that the new Origin World is presenting to the Clan are immeasurable... if we adhere to the previous strategy, we could probably harvest a few hundred Chakra Fruits per century..."

Stated the Hall Master of the Resources Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Then we should prepare for the invasion. I will depart and secure the Dimensional Pathway for the Clan and lay the formations together with the entire squad with Empyrean Realm cultivators..."

Everyone agreed with what the Ancestor Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang said; as everyone then went to carry out the orders, as the only people who remained within the room were two Ancestors and Lord Shibai.

"In several thousands of years, Primal Chaos Void Origin World and Xia Origin World will start fusing with the Starveil Origin World."

The voice of Lord Shibai was not loud or low, but everyone shuddered to hear that because this would have unprecedented consequences.

"What do you order, My Lord?"

This time it was Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha who asked as she spent the entire meeting silent.

"Open the treasuries for the peak Empyreans and let them use any resources they wish to achieve breakthroughs to the Paragon Realm... those who reached such state could directly ask me for guidance."

Lord Shibai ordered, not only because he had in mind the upcoming fusion of three Origin Wrolds, such things were exceedingly rare in the Chaotic Source Dimension.

They happened, but they were very, very rare and he was aware that there was a high possibility that during the fusion, it would become a target for the rogue Progenitors who reached the peak of their Realm and were only a step from becoming Overlord-Class Progenitors.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai was sure that it would attract even the attention of some of the five Overlord-Class Progenitors...

Within the Eternal Land Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform Faction had five members, who were Chaotic Origin Innate Lifeforms who reached the Ovelord-Class, namely the 1st-Grade Tier 7.

Aside from them, there were around 200 Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms who were at the Progenitor Level... which was the same Realm as three Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who were all 3rd-Grade Paragons (peak Tier 6).

Aside from them, the Ōtsutsuki Clan had four other Tier 6 of either 1st-Grade or 2nd-Grade, comparable to High-Grade Origin Chaotic Lifeforms and World-Grade Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, respectively.

'It seems that for this, I will need to ask someone from the Congregation to help...'

Compared to the other members of the Congregation or Profound Dao Faction that were allies within the Eternal Land, Ōtsutsuki Clan had too small a number of Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, essentially the Tier 6 Paragons.

Even the youngest Overlord of the Profound Dao Faction, Lou Feng, managed to cultivate two Chaotic Origin Lifeforms that stemmed from his Luo Family; even though they were only High-Grade ones, it was still a good result.

This poor situation was the result of Shibai not intervening in the Clan's development since they conquered the Xia Origin World.

"Also, send down the information within the Clan that I have returned and that I will be actively participating in the development of the Clan."

Hearing this sent shivers through their spines, but at the same time, the two Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were absolutely delighted when they heard this news. Unforuteanly, up to now, Lord Shibai only rarely intervened in the matters of the Clan.

He typically left all internal matters to them and focused solely on his cultivation and searching for the path forward.

Both Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang and Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha visited hundreds of Origin Worlds and were aware of the heights if someone of Overlord-Class personally took the grooming of their faction seriously.

For example, Overlord Yuan was grooming the entire Origin World seriously for countless Epochs and trillions of years and his Origin World has given birth to tens of thousands of Cosmos Gods (Tier 4 Holy Lord Realm Ōtsutsuki) and even a few Low-Rank Chaotic Origin Lifeforms (Tier 5 Empyrean Ōtsutsuki).

Or Dragon Primordial, who was grooming the Dragon Nest Origin World since immemorial and it already had more than twenty Tier 6 dragons, from which five were at 3rd-Grade and were basically Progenitor-ranked Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.

Compared to the Overlord Yuan, Lord Shibai indeed seemed pretty irresponsible.

"It shall be done, My Lord."

Responded Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha with a bow.

"And also, bring me the four genius of the younger generation that you plan to send to the Primal Chaos Void Origin World for a word."

Hearing this, the two Ancestors almost stopped in their tracks as they could not hide their surprise and shock. Lord Shibai would rarely meet with anyone, and he called four members of the younger generation probably to receive his guidance.

This was a very rare opportunity; usually, only those who reached Empyrean Realm had the right to ask for guidance from Lord Shibai.

[Trafford]

After Yakou returned back from the mission, he parted with Kirihara and returned back home for some rest and to digest his gains from the mission. Muzaka and Juraki decided to stay a bit on the Planet Tengoku for some time before they would return to Evernight Planet through a teleportation array.

In fact, Yakou wasn't that far from reaching the Saint Realm, but while obtaining the Perfection of Genetic Code through eating Chakra Fruits was rather easy for him, the second part was harder.

Overcoming the hurdle, which was called the Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level of Dao Comprehension and reaching the Profound Mystery Level and condensation of Dao Rune was the harder thing.

But as many of the other Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, Yakou had time for everything and he wasn't in a hurry... at least he had a few centuries until the grand plan of the Elemental Nations was ready and he would need to harvest that planet.

Both of his catopuses were sleeping soundly... apparently, the sole thing that they were doing during his absence was eating and sleeping; he frowned at that because they were still stuck at the lower ends of Tier 1.

And that was even after he ordered some Psionic Crystals and Soul Crystals be prepared for them to absorb, but they were still pretty weak... he had a headache at this because he wanted his familiars to reach Tier 2 as soon as possible.

Only then could he take them to the battlefield.

As he was prepared to enter the cultivation chamber to begin his cultivation season, suddenly, he felt that somebody was entering the premises of the mansion. As he looked around, he noticed that it was one of the Elders of the Clan.

"Greetings, Elder."

Yakou politely greeted the Elder that was at the Holy Lord Realm. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even though the bloodline hierarchy existed, strength was also respected by everyone because only the powerful had to right to do what they wished.

"Greetings, the Sacred Heir, Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou. You have been called for the meeting by the Ancestors, Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang and Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha."

The Elder of the Ōtsutsuki stated as Yakou stopped in his tracks because this was the first time in his life he was personally called by Ancestors.

His mind quickly raced and searched for a reason why he was called, but he found only an explanation about the captured Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon.

"Then we can go right away."

Yakou said hurriedly; best not to let them wait.

Naturally, he met with each Ancestor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan a few times in his life and was aware that especially Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha hated waiting for people... and she was pretty... how to say it... delinquent.

Casually beating up people who displeased her was something that had already become a common thing.

The Elder of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who came to fetch him teleported both of them to the Celestial Hall directly as they appeared in the waiting lobby. Soon after, the Elder teleported out, leaving there Yakou alone.

Shortly after Yakou was teleported to the waiting lobby, another person arrived.

He noticed that it was Ōtsutsuki Dōma, who was a direct descendant of the Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan. He looked like most Divine Lineage Ōtsutsukis, just that he had more complexion and possessed unusually long, pointed nails that appeared to be stained with a pale blue color.

He possesses long platinum blond hair that he wore parted to his right, the shorter parts around his face seeming to flare out to either side around his head, curving backward with one lock slanting down to the right of his face to fall between his eyes.

He was also born with mutated eyes, inheriting the Grand Elder's eyes; they appeared to be made up of an array of rainbow pastel tones that faded into one another as they circled his irises.

"Oyaaa! Yakou! Hi there, my cousin!"

Ōtsutsuki Dōma was one of the younger generations within the Clan; there were not many of them who originated from the Divine Lineage or were from extremely powerful Races on the par with Ōtsutsuki Divine Lineage.

Those who were usually mingled together like Yakou and Dōma.

"Dōma, even you were called?"

Yakou asked his more jovial cousin, though he was very well aware that this was only an outer face that Dōma was putting up, he was a pretty calculating and scheming bastard when dealing with outsiders.

"Not just me... I saw that Bai Long and Gin were also called for the meeting. If I should guess, then they are probably going to assign us some mission that we need to complete together."

As he finished the sentence, he noticed another two people who were teleported here; they were as Dōma said, Ōtsutsuki Bai Long and Ōtsutsuki Gin. This was a pretty weird setup, but at the same time, Dōma's words had some logic behind them.

Ōtsutsuki Gin was a thin, tall, and youthful man with very sharp features, giving him a skeletal appearance, and bears unusual silver hair. He keeps his eyes constantly narrowed to slits, rarely ever opening his eyes enough to reveal them.

Ōtsutsuki Gin was someone who had absolutely terrifying levels of Lighting Affinity, to ridiculous levels and was born with Innate Divine Tribulation Lighting. While he was only 3rd-Grade Tier 2, Yakou could see the Lighting cracking around him from time to time.

Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was someone with ordinary features, but he had some sort of ethereal appearance, with very long hair and sharp features, as he was clinging to his sword.

Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was the son of Ōtsutsuki Bai Zhen, who was, in fact, a human sword cultivator with such high talent that it ensured praise even of Lord Shibai.

If not for his position within the Clan, he wouldn't have known that his father, Ōtsutsuki Bai Zhen was one of the few who earned the privilege of transitioning into Ōtsutsuki.

"It seems that you are right, Dōma."

Yakou said as Gin squinted his eye at the two of them after exchanging greetings and Ōtsutsuki Bai Long only focused on his sword.

Yesterday when I was writing this fic I just realized that Yakou was a character on which I made the most extensive character development ever from all of my fanfics... since then I am in a pretty good mood...

[Trafford]

"Please come; Ancestors are waiting for you in the Hall of Heavenly Unity."

Suddenly all four of them heard one of the Elders coming their way. When they heard that the Ancestors were waiting for them in the Hall of Heavenly Unity, it felt a bit weird because that Hall was only for important formal meetings.

They soon arrived at the Hall of Heavenly Unity as they knelt down when they noticed two Ancestors, but Yakou noticed someone else behind the Ancestors as he was overwhelmed by shock...

"Descendant Ōtsutsuki Yakou greets the Primogenitor."

Yakou immediately greeted Lord Shibai, who was sitting on the throne behind them, as the other three clansmen followed suit and greeted Lord Shibai, Primogenitor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Descendant Ōtsutsuki Bai Long greets the Primogenitor."

"Descendant Ōtsutsuki Gin greets the Primogenitor."

"Descendant Ōtsutsuki Dōma greets the Primogenitor."

All three of them knelt as they didn't dare to say a word, waiting for one of the Ancestors or perhaps the Lord Shibai himself to explain the situation.

"Your four have been called here because there is a rather peculiar situation."

Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang motioned them to stand up as he started explaining the situation.

"Some time ago, we have managed to obtain some crucial information from the data banks of the Elite Commander Autoamton that Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou destroyed. From there, we learned that the Automatons have found a Dimensional Pathway to a new Origin World called Primal Chaos Void Origin World."

Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang explained as the remaining three listened attentively because the appearance of a Dimensional Pathway that was connecting two Origin Worlds was an extremely rare thing.

Normally, only those who reached the Holy Lord Realm could rarely travel between the Origin World if they were somehow lucky or talented to grasp superior Teleportation Techniques.

Naturally formed Dimensional Pathway that was connecting two Origin World... was something very, very precious.

"Now, you four were chosen for a simple reason... All four of you are 3rd-Grade Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis with combat prowess comparable to the average Tier 3 Beings, while each of you, under some circumstances, could exert power comparable to initial Saint Realm with the exception of Crown Prince with combat prowess of 1st-Grade Saint Realm."

Explained Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang why they were chosen for the task as they all listened attentively.

"Now, the important thing is that the Dimensional Pathway is allowing only people up to Tier 2 to pass it and enter the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World. Your four will from an expeditionary force, led by Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou, with the remaining three as Commanders and take around a hundred Clansmen and some Puppets and execute the standard invasion strategy until the Dimensional Pathway allows Empyreans to enter."

All four of them squinted their eyes as they heard that because this was a very important mission. It was clear that Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World would be a target for full-scale invasion in the future and they were chosen as Vanguard to create a foothold.

The standard strategy of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was to send some Clansmen to create a foothold there, gather resources, analyze the Power System of the said Origin World while sending everything back home.

The secondary mission contained creating chaos and weakening the local factions of the Origin World, such as creating wars between them and sowing seeds of discord between them.

So in the future, when the Clan invades in full force, it would be just killing resistance and they won't encounter any big problems during their takeover.

"Any question regarding the mission?"

Ancestor Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang asked as Yakou raised his hand.

"How many Puppets and what other equipment will we get?"

This was an important question because having just one hundred Clansmen wasn't a lot, but they also understood that it implied that the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World wasn't very strong from all information they could deduce.

"A few thousand Chakra Puppets on Tier 1 and a few hundred at Tier 2, together with four Warships, one for each of you. Additionally, you will also get enough resources to create Holy-Grade Sealing Array around the entire world where you will create the fortress."

This was already considered a lot; naturally, the greatest benefit for them was that they would be in charge of all resources that they obtained during their stay in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

"When will we depart?"

Yakou asked for the group, taking the role of leader that was assigned to him by Ancestors and Primogenitor Lord Shibai.

"You will have a few months to prepare all of your things for the task; then you will depart and lead the expeditionary force to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World."

Ancestor Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang answered them as a few months would be enough.

"From what we have obtained, Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World is the cultivation-based world and surprisingly, their later cultivation stages are imitating the Gods, so we will prepare enough things to deal with Divine element."

Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha said as all of them frowned, it was deep in their DNA to hate the Gods, to hate the Divine and hate the Faith. So this time, they would need to depend on Ōtsutsuki Dōma.

He had a unique mutation of his eyes that allowed him to destroy the Divine-element in any kind of energy. It was a rare mutation that was passed through their entire line, starting with the Ōtsutsuki Muzan, who was born with this mutation as the first person.

Among the Faith God Alliance, Ōtsutsuki Muzan had nicknames "God Slayer" and "God Devourer", because was a nightmare of the Faith Gods. He often went to the battlefield with the Faith God Alliance to slaughter God's right and left.

"It shall be done."

Yakou said as they then left the Hall of the Heavenly Unity and then teleported from the Celestial Hall and Heavnely Creed Mountain entirely back to the headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Heavenly Creed Mountain was home to the Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, or for the Empyrean Realm clansmen, who were living in the seclusion in this place.

"The probability of them succeeding in their mission is 99,98% if everything goes according to the plan."

Lord Shibai said for the first time after the four members of the younger generation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan left.

"And the remaining 0,02%?"

Asked Ancestor Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang.

"That would be the problem, but the chances of that happening are extremely rare."

Lord Shibai stated neutrally as he closed his eyes and two Ancestors left the Hall of the Heavenly Unity.

[Trafford]

When Yakou left Heavenly Creed Mountain, he went directly back home to organize all of his things and matters. He didn't really expect that he would be entrusted with such an important task by the Clan, but he was ready to accomplish his duty.

While there were several advantages with whose they were going to the new Origin World, Yakou was still feeling uneasy.

Acting as the Vanguard in the new Origin World was very dangerous, but at the same time, it was an unprecedented opportunity to make countless merits and contributions to the Clan.

Not to mention, he would be the first person to get his hands on the resources from the new Origin World. Apparently, the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was a typical cultivation-based Origin World and was relatively strong.

When the Dimensional Pathway was stabilized and allowed stronger powerhouses to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World, then the already destabilized Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World would fall in a matter of a few months in front of the collective might of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

They would also need to fight against the Automatons that were already gaining a foothold in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

"Whatever... I need to prepare thoroughly for this... even though reigning in Dōma would be problematic and Bai Long would also prove a problem if he encounters someone talented in the Way of Sword."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma was pretty much a problematic individual; while he was a normally carefree person, he had some kind of switch in his head and if it was activated, then he would be turned into a completely different personality.

Unfortunately, his completely different persona very extremely hard to control because he would turn into a bloodthirsty slaughter maniac bent on killing everything that lived. It was probably the side-effect of his mutated bloodline.

At the same time, it was a small price for his Anti-Divine Dōjutsu, which was the antithesis of anything even remotely Divine and related to the concept of Godhood. He soon enough returned back home as he went to cultivate.

Yakou felt that he could progress with the Dao Comprehension because as he went to the Heavenly Creed Mountain, he saw there a Divine Punishment Lighting striking down at someone who was breaking through or tempering his physique.

Probably not only him, but also Ōtsutsuki Gin also got some sort of enlightenment from it, and right now, Yakou was in a state where he could reach the Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level of Dao of Lighting.

While the Dao of Lighting wasn't as destructive as the Dao of Dust, it was far more versatile and could be used in many other different areas compared to the Dao of Dust, which could be used only as a direct offensive measure.

When he entered the residence, both Catopuses were already high on alert as they rushed to their master in curiosity and partially in demand for food. Yakou looked at his familiars and while he found them cute, he also found them pretty weak.

He was already contemplating on the way, how to let both of them reach Tier 2 as fast as possible; from then on, it would be a relatively easy task for him to help his familiars to evolve into Cathulhus...

They would need only a tremendous amount of Souls. However, fortunately, they were going to the new Origin World and like most of the cultivation worlds, the Primal Chaos Dimension Void Origin World was thriving with population.

While Starveil Origin World also had the concept of cultivation, the entire Origin World was divided into a few major factions where each faction controlled Cosmic Sector and waged war against each other.

Naturally, some native civilizations existed; there existed even space-faring Empires even in the territory that was under the rule of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. But all of them were solely technologically based and their people were weak.

Maximally reaching only peak of Tier 1 through some extreme genetical enhancements.

Ōtsutsuki Clan left some of these civilizations alone, mainly because they were useful as servants, sacrifices, cannon fodders or served myriad purposes for the Clan.

Naturally, the Western Cosmic Region where the Faith God Alliance ruled had the highest number of civilizations, but all of them were extremely primitive and without any technology.

This was understandable as their sole purpose was to serve as living Faith generators for the Gods and to be worshipped by the mortals. On the contrary, the Eastern Cosmic Region had zero civilizations because the Automatos of Architect System annihilated everything that was of organic nature.

As Yakou was contemplating about many things right now, he arrived at the cultivation room and activated the Fūinjutsu Seals around the room and sat down cross-legged and started the cultivation season.

Attaining another Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level was good because it would greatly increase his combat prowess, especially when it came to the Dao of Lightning, which would greatly increase his auxiliary abilities.

Dao of Lighting was different from the Dao of Dust, it wasn't that abstract and it was something more easy to connect?

While Yakou's affinity for Lightning wasn't as ridiculous as that of Ōtsutsuki Gin, but it was a very dominant affinity in his very own being.

In his vision, as he was sitting down there cross-legged and meditating in this cultivation chamber, various visions of Lightning and Thunder appeared. Especially the Divine Punishment Lightning that he saw at the Heavenly Creed Mountain.

Yakou didn't notice that the Lightning started cracking around him, as he felt that a similar seed was forming in his soul, like that of the Dao of Dust. Compared to the Embryotic Form of the Profound Mystery Level of Dao of Dust that was translucent in color, this was different.

Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level of Dao of Dust was yellowish in color and cracking with power, eager to fly and eager to destroy, to strike the enemies down and punish them for their transgressions.

"With this, I would have an easier time when escaping from powerful cultivators or dodging attacks, aside from having once again increased my destructive prowess... fortunately, compared to the Dao of Dust, Lightning seems to be much more manageable to use."

Yakou muttered as he opened his eyes slowly.

[Trafford]

Somewhere in the Unknown Regions of Space, between Southern Cosmic Region and Eastern Cosmic Region

Everything was quiet in the front, around the Dimensional Pathway leading to another Origin World; countless Automaton Fortresses were floating in the emptiness of the space as they prepared for their inevitable full-scale invasion of the Primal Chaos Void Origin World.

Suddenly a crack in the space appeared as tremendous tsunamis of flames rushed out of the space crack, directed at the Automatons.

No matter the grade of the Automatons, if they were the lowly ones comparable to Tier 2 or even the most powerful machines at peak Tier 4, they were all melted to nothingness.

Even the strongest Automaton in the entire area, which was EX-Grade Automaton, comparable to Tier 5 and one of the strongest ever constructed, was half melted and his systems were malfunctioning and soon they would die.

"One survived... interesting."

From the space crack, an Ōtsutsuki man appeared, as he held a crimson-red sword in his right hand; as his long crimson-red hair fluttered in the coldness of the space while his flames were destroying any traces of the Automatons.

"One of them should be here soon enough... dammed pests..."

He was one of the Paragons of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan, the Holy Flame Emperor.

While he was at the second stage of the Paragon Realm and was Sovereign-Stage Paragon, he was still extremely powerful even among the other Paragons and had his share of kills of Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.

His most notable achievement was burning down an entirely smaller Origin World, where one Chaotic Origin Lifeform expert was hiding and refused to leave. Thus he burned down the entire Origin World until nothing remained.

Suddenly Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan squinted his eyes as he saw the shadow of a giant figure appear in the emptiness of space and shoot several blasts of energy toward him.

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan quickly dodged and blocked some of the energy blasts as he noticed their destructiveness.

'Anti-Matter Energy...'

His mind raced quickly, searched for any Tier 6 Being who could control the Anti-Matter in their Eternal Chaotic Source Dimension, but the results were none... not to mention, this control of Anti-Matter was very peculiar...

'Could it be a foreigner?... The chances are low, but if he created an avatar and let it rise in power here, it should be possible.'

Ōtsutsuki Clan was aware that the Automatons were backed by at least three Tier 6 beings and all of them were extremely reclusive... if they were indeed foreigners to their Chaotic Source Dimension, then their inclusiveness would be logical.

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan observed the newcomer, who appeared like some heavily armored giant with sharp features.

"Leave here, foreigner, or you will be melted down into a blob."

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan shouted as the Heavenly Flames burst out and danced around the entire area, illuminating the darkness of the space.

"No hope. No mercy. The universe you knew is nothing but a memory and I have no intention of leaving anyone alive to honor it. I am a destroyer of thousands of Universes, a bane of all positive-matter. I am Anti-Monitor!"

The armored giant shouted as in a split of, a second huge wave of Anti-Matter clashed against Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan's Heavenly Flames in a fierce battle.

'Dammit, another madman hell-bent on destroying everything around him... but this is really powerful, probably he comes from one of the Top Chaotic Source Dimensions.'

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan was aware that their Chaotic Source Dimension was, unfortunately, on the weaker end of the scope, while the truly powerful ones had far more powerful entities than Overlord-Class beings.

And that was also the reason why their Chaotic Source Dimension was a target for the stronger ones or there were some very powerful foreigners scheming against it. Basically the same scenario of what they were doing against the weaker Origin World

And because the sole faction of their Chaotic Source Dimension was unfactionate... the results were as they were.

'The cats would probably know...'

He thought as he dodged another wave of the Anti-Matter Energy that was spreading all around and destroying his Heavenly Flames. Cathulhus and Catopuses controlled their own Chaotic Source Dimension and it was one of the rare ones that was connected to countless others...

So their information network was not to be underestimated.

Shen Yan determined that the Anti-Monitor's purpose was to turn entire Origin Worlds (Universes) into realms filled with Anti-Matter. That was the reason why even a clone of such a being was able to match him in power rather easily.

His true body should be at the peak of the 3rd-Grade Tier 6 or perhaps even some sort of quasi-Tier 7 if it has more and more Universes filled with the Anti-Matter in its home Chaotic Source Dimension.

Though for Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan, this wasn't the only Heavenly Flame he had in his disposition, as he had multiple variants of them and the one he was using was actually the weakest one.

Seeing that his Heavenly Flames were losing in the pure strength contests against the Anti-Matter Energy of the being Anti-Monitor, he grimaced before his Flame started changing color from the previous crimson to ominous black color of emptiness.

In a split of second, the tables turned; the Anti-Matter Energy was being assimilated and devoured by the black Heavenly Flame of Devouring, the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Ranked 2nd from the 23 Heavenly Flames.

There was no image to look for nor a form to grasp. From a certain point of view, the Nihility Devouring Flame could be considered a mysterious existence. The Nihility Devouring Flame was said to be able to devour anything.

Only a small number of things in the world could resist its devouring ability.

And the Anti-Matter Energy proved to be another thing to be devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame in the end. With the Nihility Devouring Flame devouring the waves of the Anti-Matter Energy, the bouts were equal, as Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan started his counterattack against Anti-Monitor.

During the short exchanges with the Anti-Monitor, Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan noticed that the being had extensive abilities in regard to Energy Absorption of any kind, which made him a very dangerous opponent.

That meant that there were only two ways how to kill such a being considering his other abilities.

It was clear that either one needed to fight him head-on and slay him in an old physical way, but that would probably be on temporal death and he would be revived later on.

The more secure way would be to use the opposite concept of Matter, but that seemed to be impossible in his opinion.

Probably the reason why Anti-Monitor even sent some clones to different Chaotic Source Dimensions was that he wanted to gather more power to overcome his counterpart.

[Trafford]

As someone who reached Hegemon-Grade of the Paragon Realm and was geniue Chaotic Origin Lifeform, Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan was very powerful on his own. While he was weaker than three Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan by a large margin, he was still a powerhouse on his own.

Though, he had to admit that his opponent was extremely powerful, even though it was only an Avatar Form.

But that was to be expected because nobody who was below at least peak Tier 6 or Quasi-Tier 7 would not have ventured into different Chaotic Source Dimension.

Venturing through the Void was an extremely dangerous thing, and at the same time, if someone were unlucky, he would arrive at the Chaotic Source Dimension that someone already owned.

Like the Origin World, where those who became Chaotic Origin Lifeforms could fuse themselves with the Origin World, the same thing could be done with the Chaotic Source Dimension.

After completing a few other requirements and one could ascend beyond the Overlord-Class in the Autarch Realm and become Lord of Chaos. Unfortunately, their own Chaotic Source Dimension was without the Lord of Chaos, so they could be easily invaded by foreigners.

Despite the huge stature of the Anti-Monitor, Shen Yan's opponent was pretty much agile and was able to dodge even the very fast flames of the Nihility Devouring Flame that Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan was spamming one after another.

'His energy absorption is really frightening... to be able to create Domain so subtle that I would ignore it at the first look...'

Only after some time did Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan notice that around the entire area where they were fighting, there was some kind of Energy Absorption Domain that the Anti-Monitor created and it was slowly absorbing his Chakra.

And as crafty Anti-Monitor was, he did it in a way where the absorption rate was minuscule and after prolonged use, even Shen Yan would feel its effects. Fortunately, he noticed it shortly after their fight started...

In the clan, Ōtsutsuki Syaoran was someone who comprehended Dao of Devouring to the extreme and even became a hybrid between Ōtsutsuki and World Devouring Behemoth, a rare type of Void Leviathan.

So, Shen Yan knew very well how to deal with the absorbers and how to uncover their abilities before it was too late.

Teleporting behind the Anti-Monitor, he slashed at the enormous figure of his opponent as his sword flashed with the Nihility Devouring Flame that was ready to burn everything to ashes.

The very second Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan slashed at the neck of the Anti-Monitor, his opponent raised his enormous mechanical hands and blocked the sword strike, as both of them were thrown several thousands of kilometers away by the force of their clash.

Though after Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan stopped holding back and started releasing all of his power and using all of his Chakra, he instantly destroyed the Energy Absorption Domain that Anti-Monitor used and started pushing his opponent back.

The more Nihility Devouring Flames were released, the more they ate and pushed Anti-Monitor back, generally forcing the metal-looking giant to retreat further.

Nihility Devouring Flame were fighting ferociously against the Anti-Matter Energy of Anti-Monitor, as they already destroyed several tens of galaxies around them.

Fortunately, the Laws of the World in the Eternal Chaotic Source Dimension and then subsequently that of the Starveil Origin World were very strong and powerful; if not, they would have long ago obliterated the entire Starveil Origin World from existence.

Even Empyreans were essentially Multiversal Entities that could wipe out multiple Universes without any problem. However, that only was for the Realms where the suppression was low and the Laws of the World were weak.

Due to that, even though Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan had combat prowess capable of destroying the entire Origin World with ease, it wasn't that easy to damage things in worlds like theirs where the Laws of the World were very strong.

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan mobilized all of his Chaotic Chakra and struck his Chaotic Origin Sword enveloped with Nihility Devouring Flame into the mechanical stomach of the Anti-Monitor, as the Nihility Devouring Flame started spreading inside of the Anti-Monitor.

Naturally, Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan was aware that this wasn't enough to kill the Anti-Monitor, because the very own second Shen Yan managed to injure Anti-Monitor severely; he already started regenerating by using the Anti-Matter Energy.

Anti-Monitor quickly analyzed the situation and in the end, he decided to abandon his plan to invade another Origin World and turn it into a new Anti-Matter Universe. While it was a great loss, it was still better than losing this Avatar.

His true body, the Anti-God, invested a lot of resources to send an Avatar into another Chaotic Source Dimension, and he couldn't afford to lose it. Thus in a huge explosion of Anti-Matter Energy that followed quickly afterward, the Anti-Monitor disappeared back to the Eastern Cosmic Region.

"What a decisive fellow..."

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan commented as he saw Anti-Monitor escaping.

At the same time, it was logical for him to escape because they were equally matched with Shen Yan and it was clear that the Ōtsutsuki Clan was hell-bent on obtaining this DImensional Pathway and the Oirigin World it was connected to.

If they fought for a prolonged time, the outcome wouldn't change, but the Ōtsutsuki Clan would probably send more of their Paragons or probably one of their three Ancestor Paragons and then his Avatar would be destroyed swiftly.

Not to mention, while the Tier 6 beings behind the Autoamtons were supporting the machines, each one of them had different goals and their alliance was born out of necessity, especially to resist the hegemons of Ōtsutsuki Clan and Evernight High Council that had Tier 7 beings.

"Whatever... for now, the most important thing is to secure the area... fortunately, the Dimensional Pathway wasn't much damaged by our fight."

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan then started by laying down some Seals all around the entire Star System where the Dimensional Pathway was located.

It was of utmost importance to secure it until the proper team from the Sealing Hall arrived and finished the job, together with the Enforcement Hall and Refinement Hall, who would construct proper fortifications around the Dimensional Pathway.

After Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan was finished with laying down some basic Seals, in his opinion, a small cat appeared on his shoulder, which was his familiar and one of Tier 5 Cathulhus.

"So, did you remember his aura?"

Shen Yan asked his familiar as the small cat nodded its head.

"Yes, nya... I am sure that this is someone from the Divine Continuum Chaotic Source Dimension... one of the top Chaotic Source Dimensions out there; I wouldn't mess with them; that place had probably more than hundreds of Overlords and several Lords of Chaos."

As he heard the answer from the Cathulhu, he frowned deeply because the Anti-Monitor was apparently from a very powerful Chaotic Source Dimension.

[Trafford]

Yakou spent most of his days on the upcoming mission by training and comprehending Dao, even though he was aware that right now, the only thing needed was time for the Ebryo to evolve fully.

Only then would he obtain the complete comprehension of some Dao on the Profound Mystery Level, congeal the Dao Rune and create a Jindan.

Jindan, also called Chakra Core more commonly, was something everyone who reached the Saint Realm naturally formed in their bodies.

With the Chakra Core, one would get a tremendous increase in the quality and quantity of Chakra depending on the grade of the Jindan.

His familiars also weren't idle as Yakou forced them to train together with him, especially in combat techniques.

Not only Yakou but also other ones of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that were going to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World were training and finishing all of their preparations.

The entirety of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was finishing the preparations for the vanguard mission to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World from the Starveil Origin World.

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara was also going together with them, entirely there would be around two hundred Ōtsutsukis from the Main Family participating and around one thousand Branch Clansmen that would be acting as expendable cannon fodder.

Most of the Ōtsutsukis from the Branch Clan were only around Tier 1, but that was enough for their purpose as they would be targeting only the weakest areas of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

Not to mention, from the Main Family, the Clan has chosen more than half the people who were near the breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

With this strategy, within a few years, maximally a few decades, the Ōtsutsuki Clan would have a stable foothold with tens of Saint Realm cultivators in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

When Yakou exited his cultivation chamber, he went to the common room of their mansion, as his mother was preparing tea in a rare tea ceremony because today was the day of the departure.

The Clan has long taken control of the Dimensional Pathway leading to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World after a fierce battle against one of the Tier 6 entities that were supporting the Automatons of the Architect System.

"How are you feeling?"

When he entered the common room, his mother questioned him as he sat down. She was already on the peak of the Saint Realm, at the Saint Immortal Stage (3rd-Grade Tier 3) and was only one step away from reaching the Holy Lord Realm.

"Nervous..."

Yakou answered truthfully because he was indeed nervous... not as much from the fact that he was going to an entirely different Origin World, but rather from the fact that he was going to lead the expedition.

The responsibility he was facing was tremendous because everything was on his shoulders.

If he fucked up, it would have some really uncanny repercussions in the future.

The Clan was putting too much effort into this.

"Just do everything as you were taught and trust your instincts and advisors..."

His mother attempted to console him.

"Just wait until the Dimensional Pathway is stabilized and allows for a few Holy Lords to enter the Origin World. I will be participating in the first wave of invasion after I break through to the Holy Lord Realm."

His mother said with a smile as he squinted his eyes. He wasn't aware that she would be already breaking through.

Strictly speaking, each Holy Lord was the foundation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

This cultivation stage, also called Cosmos God in many other different Origin World in their Chaotiuc Source Dimension, was basically the "Final Cultivation Realm" that could be reached by almost anyone.

In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, those who were under the Holy Lord Realm were basically part of the lower ends of the Clan and only by reaching the Holy Lord Realm could one be considered a true expert within the Clan.

"This is nothing... Truth to be told, your father has already reached Empyrean Realm several days ago."

Then his mind stopped for a moment.

Till now, the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan had 39 Empyreans, the so-called Low-Ranking Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, which, compared to some bigger factions, wasn't that lot, but considering their situation, it was a good number.

And now, there was another one, the 40th one in the line of Empyreans...

Ōtsutsuki Kenshin.

"And your father managed to hunt down Elder God and sacrificed the entire Super-High Level Planet for Low Chaotic-Grade Chakra Fruit with the Elder God and his entire Divine Kingdom as fuel..."

She said with a giggle and it became clear why his mother was advancing right now...

When Ōtsutsukis were preparing to advance to the Holy Lord Realm, they would need to shatter their Jindan and depending on the quality of the Jindan, it would create either Demiplane or True World of various sizes.

For the higher grades of Jindans, one would need to use supplementary methods, meaning one would need to eat corresponding Chakra Fruit to aid him in the creation of True World.

"It seems that father got indeed lucky."

Killing an Elder God shortly after breaking through was no small feat and even managing to carry out the sacrifice of Elder God together with his entire Divine Kingdom to the God Tree along with Super High-Level Planet...

It meant that it gave birth to Lower Chaotic-Grade Chakra Fruit... just thinking about it made Yakou salivate.

"Do you have any advice aside from following my teachings?"

Yakou asked, attempting to change the topics because he knew that his mother's giggles held a double meaning.

"Yes... never underestimate anything, always be at your 100% wariness, and never trust anything. While you certainly got the preliminary information issued by the Clan, but those are only superficial ones that we obtained from the data banks of the Automaton. Who knows what their Cultivation System is hiding..."

She was saying this because, during the last incursion of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, her father was killed in one of the invasion waves.

He was Empyrean Realm Ōtsutsuki, who reached the Dao Emperor Stage (2nd-Grade Tier 5) and was still killed by one of the three pinnacle powerhouses of the Origin World. So, his mother was very sensitive about this entire thing and was very wary of each Origin World.

In such large-scale conflicts, anything could happen.

Even though the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was very weak Origin World compared to the standards of their entire Chaotic Source Dimension, but it never hurt anyone to be wary.

Unknown Regions of Space, Starveil Origin World, Several Days Later

Around the Dimensional Pathway leading to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World from the Starveil Origin World. It was guarded by the elites of the Ōtsutsuki Clan under the leadership of the Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan, who stayed to guard the portal.

All around the Dimensional Patwhay were erected countless fortifications, together with several arrays. Even the entire Star System was turned into one super-sized Array created by the Sealing Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

For the expedition to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World, Yakou got a pyramid-shaped Cpatial Ship of the Juggernaut-Class. This pinnacle space vessel had combat prowess comparable to the peak Holy Lord Realm cultivator.

This was meant to serve as their final trump card during the incursion to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

"So, we are here..."

Yakou muttered as he looked through the window, following his Capital Ship, which was aptly named Vengeful Spirit was followed by three smaller Warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. All of the Warships had the firepower of the Saint Realm cultivator, so it was a rather formidable lineup.

Naturally, the greatest disadvantage of these shops was their low maneuverability, but that came at the expense of greater destructive prowess.

Each one of the Warships was carrying the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, all of his compatriots, Ōtsutsuki Bai Long, Ōtsutsuki Gin and Ōtsutsuki Dōma got to command one of the Warships and a certain number of Chakra Puppets and Clansmen.

[Incomming video transmission.]

[Patching the transmission up.]

Yakou heard the A.I. of the ship as suddenly, a holographic projection of the Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan appeared in front of him.

"I won't be wasting any time so I will be quick."

He said as the same projection appeared on all of the ships that were heading towards the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

"You are all going to the hostile territory. Your task as the vanguard is clear. Collect as much information about the Origin World as possible, establish Celestial Territory and weaken the local factions if possible. Establishing the Celestial Territory for the main force is crucial; we have already confirmed that the Primal Chaos Dimension contains multiple entities at the Holy Lord Realm (Tier 4)."

Ōtsutsuki Shen Yan finished his speech with that, as everyone who heard that had a severe expression when they heard that.

But nobody would back down, even in the face of the challenge.

"Now that everything important was said, you can go. Banzai!"

With that, the connection was cut and the ships started advancing toward the Dimensional Pathway.

"So it begins... to the infinity and beyond."

Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World

In terms of size, the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was several times of the size of the Starveil Origin World. Even though it was weaker than the Starveil Origin World, in terms of size, it was far eclipsing the home plane of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

[We have arrived at the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.]

[Current location has been calculated to be Realm of Gods, Eastern Divine Region.]

When Yakou arrived at the other side of the Dimensional Pathway, he was welcomed by an entirely different environment as he felt foreign energy penetrating the very own existence and fabric of reality.

It was different from the Nature Energy that existed in the Starveil Origin World, clearly an inferior one, but the sheer quantity in the ait made up for it. From the information collected from the Automatons, they were aware of the approximate layout of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

Essentially speaking, the entire Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was divided into two Regions, namely Realm of Gods and Realm of Devils. In comparison, the pyramid structure of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was with Star Realms.

The Royal Rank Star Realms on the top of the pyramid that were housing the strongest cultivators, followed by the High-Rank Star Realms, Middle-Rank Star Realms and Low-Rank Star Realms... aside from those, there were countless Planets that were essentially for mortals to live.

The Realm of Gods was further divided into Eastern Divine Region, Western Divine Region, Northern Divine Region and Southern Divine Region.

"Immediately search for the most remote and insignificant Low-Ranking Star Realm from the Automaton database and activate the stealth mode to the maximum limits."

Yakou instantly issued orders to retreat to the safe place... they were aware that the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World houses pretty powerful cultivators, so they needed to start from the bottom to the top.

Automatons have managed to infiltrate a certain number of Star Realms and from the information, they were aware that typically, the strongest people in the Low-Rankng Star Realm would pose no threat to Yakou right now.

[Low-Ranking Star Realm has been found... target designated as Frigid Origin Realm.]

[Frigid Origin World is one of countless Low-Ranking Star Realms in the Eastern Divine Region and is located at the outskirts of the Eastern Divine Region, close to the borders of the Realm of Gods. This Low-Ranking Star Realm has been noted for the xenophobic nature of its inhabitants and hate for foreigners.]

As Yakou listened to the descriptions, he smiled more because this perfectly suited their needs. They needed to create a Celestial Territory in some Star Realm, and the best place would be one which was hardly reached by anyone.

And the Frigid Origin Realm was the best bet.

Because it was on the outskirts of the Realm of Gods, they would start their conquest.

At the same time, he had some uneasy feelings about the Frigid Origin Realm because, typically speaking, such secluded worlds were stronger than they appeared.

Nevertheless, Yakou was willing to take risks because the moment he broke into the Saint Realm then, even attacking the more powerful Star Realms won't be out of the question.

"How long till we arrive at the Frigid Origin Realm?"

Yakou then relaxed in his throne after the ships entered stealth mode.

[Approximately seven days if we continue at this speed.]

Several Days Later, Eastern Divine Region, Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World

The Warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan traveled through space for the past few days, as their destination, Frigid Origin Realm, was already coming closer and closer.

Nothing significant happened during their journey to the Frigid Origin Realm, as the ships were under the most powerful concealment arrays and seals that the Ōtsutsuki Clan could produce.

As they were passing under the concealment through the Eastern Divine Region, Yakou was able to gather a lot of data on the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World. While he was tempted to kill or kidnap some cultivators that were traversing through the space, but he strictly controlled himself not to attract the attention.

Before they arrived at the Frigid Origin Realm, Yakou gave out orders not to attack or engage any cultivators, no matter how weak they were, as a form of precaution. There was no telling where some overpowered cultivator was hiding or if someone was suppressing their cultivation.

While Ōtsutsuki Bai Long complained the most out of their squad against this order because that dammed battle junkie wanted to fight some powerful natives, it were Gin and Dōma were supporting Yakou in this.

Both of them were aware that if they started fighting during their journey, there was a small chance of attracting the attention of some powerful cultivators.

From what they learned, the Eastern Divine Region had three Royal Star Realms that were extremely powerful for current them right now.

"Reporting on progress after six hours."

Yakou heard as he sat on his commander chair in the Capital Ship as three holographic projections of the Ōtsutsuki Bai Long, Ōtsutsuki Gin and Ōtsutsuki Dōma appeared in front of him as they were all connected through call.

Calling each other and submitting reports on the progress and state of the ships were actually protocols of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Everything could happen as they were in an unfamiliar environment, so they had to adhere to the strictest protocols and security measures.

"For my side, everything is well."

The first to submit the report was Ōtsutsuki Gin, as the other two just repeated the same thing he said.

"Splendid... the estimated time of arrival at the Frigid Origin Realm is scheduled to be 17 hours. So start redying the troops for the combat; it is highly possible that we would be detected the moment we enter the Realm if they had something like World Lords or a similar concept."

Yakou ordered as the other three nodded their heads with serious expressions.

While Yakou seriously doubted that this Origin World knew of such concepts or if they were even possible, it was rather safe than sorry. Fighting a World Lord who had the backing of an entire Realm behind his back was the last thing he wanted to experience.

As the holographic projection of three Ōtsutsuki Clansmen disappeared, Yakou delved into deep thought as he was thinking about the mission and the situation they were in.

Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was one of the rare Origin Worlds that was protected by an extremely potent World Barrier that prevented anyone from entering. So the only means of entering was using the DImensional Pathway.

If there was no World Barrier, then typically Cosmos Gods (Tier 4) or other similarly ranked cultivators who comprehended the Dao of Void or had some Void-related ability or something could just teleport and enter the Origin Word.

"Are you brooding again?"

Just as he was begging to think about various, not very positive matters, he was woken up from his train of thoughts by Kirihara, who had just now arrived. While he didn't want to admit that he was brooding, he just nodded at her as she graciously took her place on his lap.

Because they were alone in the command room, she wasn't shy with her movements, as, from their last moment, both Yakou and Kirihara started getting more and more touchy and affectionate with each other.

"No... just thinking..."

Yakou said as he enjoyed the feeling of her soft body on his lap.

"Always thinking, always just thinking, your head would overheat from all of the thinking."

Kirihara giggled softly as she enjoyed her place.

"Yes, I am... but the problem is that I have some weird feelings about going into the Frigid Origin Realm. While the probability of the cultivators comparable to Saint Immortal Realm Ōtsutsuki is rather low, I still can't get it off."

Yakou didn't know if it came from his recognition abilities stemming from the Senrinjōnegan or whatever, but he was having an uneasy feeling about the Frigid Origin Realm.

According to what they knew about Low-Rank Star Realms in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World, they were basically realms where cultivators could reach the so-called Divine Realms.

Automatons have captured a lot of natives and extracted some information about their cultivation system and even though it was obscure, the Ōtsutsuki Clan was able to create a comparison between two Cultivation Systems based on Chakra Levels and Combat Prowess.

Unfortunately, as it seems that entire Nine Mortals Realms could be packed into the Tier 1 Ōtsutsuki, as the mortal stages of the Profound Cultivation System were not anything special.

The real fun started with the Seven Divine Profound Realms.

Divine Origin Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Divine Tribulation Realm, Divine Spirit Realm, Divine King Realm, Divine Sovereign Realm and Divine Master Realm. These were the Seven Divine Profound Realms of the Profound Way.

Among them, the Divine King Realm was determined to be comparable to the Saint Realm - Saint Sea Stage, Divine Sovereign was comparable to the Saint Realm - Saint Transformation and the Divine Master Realm was comparable to the Saint Realm - Saint Immortal Stage.

"Usually, the strongest cultivators in the Low-Rank Star Realms are only at the Divine King Realm... which wouldn't really be the problem, but the more problematic would be if there were cultivators above that Realm."

Yakou said with a grim face.

Since coming to the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin Realm, Yakou's Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan was drastically lessened.

"And the worst thing is that I can't see anything... the Dao of this Origin World is too different from that of the Starveil Origin World and adjustment time will be too long."

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki grumbled unhappily as he got a kiss on his lips by his fianceé in an attempt to make the mood better.

[Trafford]

Yakou was already warned beforehand that the Laws of each Origin World are entirely different from each other, especially the ones that follow the Unorthodox Cultivation Systems within the Chaotic Source Dimension.

Naturally, both the Cultivation Systems of the Ōtsutsuki, the Evolutionary Cultivation and even the Profound Way of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World belonged to the Unorthodox Cultivation Systems.

Due to that, the adjustment period to the Laws of each Origin World was different and Yakou predicted that he would need a few months at least to use the Clairvoyants aspect of his Senrinjōnegan.

***

[Attention to all personnel. We have arrived at the outskirts of the Frigid Origin Realm; everyone prepares for immediate combat.]

Announcements were sent through all of the warships of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's expedition forces. Now that they had arrived at the vicinity of the Firigd Origin Realm, Yakou was able to observe the Low-Rank Star Realm from a close distance.

Certainly, it was different compared to the planets in the Starveil Origin World, but the good news was that no World Will was detected from the Frigid Origin Realm. This was certainly spledind news, as that meant that there were no World Lords or anything similar.

Which in turn meant that their advance through the Realm would be much easier and many of Yakou's worries dispersed in a split of a second.

[Awaiting further instructions.]

Yakou looked at the Frigid Origin Realm from the luxury throne as he heard the voice of the Artificial Intelligence that was in the control of the Capital Ship.

[Start descending down, locate the most desolate part of the Star Realm where to land.]

He commanded as the ships started slowly descending towards the Frigid Origin Realm.

Fortunately, without the presence of anyone like the World Lord or Realm Lord, they were not detected when they entered the Frigid Origin Realm, as they descended towards one of the smallest continents in the enormous Star Realm.

One thing about the entirety of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World that was mind-blogging to Yakou and other Ōtsutsuki Clasnmen was the size. Even the Low-Rank Star Realm was slightly bigger than High-Level Planet.

The sheer size of the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World and the Star Realm within was something fascinating. Though at the same time, this ignited curiosity why the overall level of cultivators in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World was so low.

The Clan has already confirmed that the strongest cultivator was detected to be at the Holy Lord - Holy Venerable Stage. So while there were apparently some peak Tier 4 Cultivators and there were remnants of Tier 5, the overall quality still seemed shit.

"Conduct a scan on the location where we are landing; search for anything even remotely related to the cultivation resources that we got information on from the Automaton databanks."

He then instructed the Artifact Spirit as it dutifully carried out the orders of its mater.

[Scan complete. There are few resources and several tiny veins of Purple Veined Heaven Crystal.]

'So while the Realm is huge as fuck, the resources are scarce... that could be one explanation for the overall low level of the cultivators in this place. Still, the entire continent of the size of a normal planet in the Starveil Origin World only has this many resources...'

Yakou contemplated about this because while a few veins of the Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal seemed nice and good, it wasn't much.

Nevertheless, it would be a good start for planting the God Tree.

"Navigate the ships to the biggest vein of the Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal."

The vein of the Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal would be the perfect place where the seed the God Tree and create the God Territory for the Clansmen to start expanding. The continent where they landed down, was almost devoid of any life, aside from some Profound Beasts that were roaming these lands.

There were a few million life signs at the center of the continent, probably the cultivators living there in a few cities, according to the scans. Naturally, this was the best area for their invasion to start... it was scarcely populated and without any powerful cultivators.

'We have time...'

Yakou planned to at first create God Territory and a proper fortress for the Clansmen before they started stealthily expanding through the continent and when they collected enough information, they would strike and it whole.

And then repeated the same thing, just on the scale of the entire Frigid Origin Realm. The moment they entered the Frigid Origin Realm, every Ōtsutsuki Clansmen felt the density of the Profound Energy in the world.

Ōtsutsukis were very sensitive to any kind of energy; especially the ones that stemmed from Heaven and Earth, just like Nature Energy or Profound Energy. While Profound Energy was indeed inferior to Nature Energy, its quantity in the Frigid Origin Realm was staggering.

And this was just a Low-Rank Star Realm.

Above it, there were stronger Star Realms, which should have even higher Profound Energy Density.

The first ones to land were the three Warships commanded by Ōtsutsuki Bai Long, Ōtsutsuki Gin and Ōtsutsuki Dōma. All three of them landed to create a triangular shape between them, as the Capital Ship, commanded by Ōtsutsuki Yakou, landed in between.

This was because the three warships could be used as defensive formations around the Capital Ship.

[Landing has been successful.]

"Excellent... send in the scouts and release the Puppets. Start laying down the sealing formation and building the walls around the entire area. Within one day, I want to have this place to be an impenetrable fortress."

As they landed down, Yakou started issuing orders as he himself exited the Adjudicator-Class Capital Ship and looked at the starry sky of the Frigid Origin Realm. Kirihara followed wordlessly behind him, gripping on her weapon in case they were ambushed by something or someone.

"This place is fascinating... really unique Origin World among the countless thousands..."

Yakou muttered as he breathed the air, absorbed some of the Profound Energy from the environment, and refined it into charka within several breaths of the moment.

"We need to plant the God Tree... where exactly is the vein of the Purple Veined Heaven Crystal located?"

He then asked for the location of their target and the moment he got the answer, he, together with Kirihara and several of the Enforcers, flew a few hundred meters to a small mountains that were not far from the ship.

"Too rocky terrain... not the best for the tree... but I saw worse."

He scanned the area with his Tensei-Sharingan, locating the vein of the Purple Veined Heaven Crystal before he took out sealed Ten-Tails that was no bigger than his hand from his Dimensional Space.

"Let's get this over with."

[Trafford]

Yakou, together with Kirihara, observed how the Ten-Tails was digging deep into the ground, searching for the central vein of the loge Purple Veined Heaven Crystal that was located in this place.

At the same time, the two of them were having a nice show; the Enforcers of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that were accompanying him were watching everything around them in case they were attacked.

Right now, among the Clan troops, there was a state of highest emergency and they needed to be battle ready at any given time. Once the God Territory was established, they would be able to move more freely.

Soon enough, the Ten-Tails dug deep enough to leech on the central vein of this loge of the Purple Veined Heaven Crystals, as it started germinating and soon enough, a God Tree would sprout in this place.

Yakou then used his Senrinjōnegan to connect himself to the fledgling God Tree as he was very surprised to see that the God Tree would be germinated within a few months. This was very fast, considering the time needed in the Starveil Origin World.

But given the situation, it shouldn't be that surprising.

The overall input of energy that the Ten-Tails was devouring was probably ten times more than he would devour from the entire average Planet in the Starveil Origin World... the sheet quantity of the Profound Energy was staggering.

And that was just the Profound Energy from the environment, not counting the ones extracted from the loge of the Purple Veined Heaven Crystal, which was even higher compared to the environment.

"Right now... I can understand why all those old coots who have been cultivating for centuries without a break are leaving their caves..."

Yakou muttered silently about the situation as his finaceé just nodded in agreement.

Upon learning of the Dimensional Pathway connecting to the new Origin World, many of the Elders of the Clan Elders were elated and immediately left their closed-door cultivation to check up on the situation personally.

Only through the Dimensional Pathway could one commence an overall invasion of the Origin Word and conquer it. This was really absolutely peculiar Origin World that would certainly bring countless resources for the Clan.

As the Crown Prince of the Clan, it was his duty to do everything for the development of the Clan, just as the generation before him were doing. Among the Divine Lineage of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, they were the people responsible for high-end development.

"Your Highness, we have incoming communication from Prince Ōtsutsuki Dōma, who is requesting to go out and catch a few natives to extract more information from them."

Yakou was woken from his train of thoughts by one of the Enforcers.

The Enforcers of the Ōtsutsuki Clan were all wearing samurai-like armor, heavy plated armor, in a very similar design to what he was wearing, but less ornamental, but they also wore facemasks that were covering their whole faces.

"He is going out personally?"

While he wasn't keen on doing anything before they established Celestial Territory through the God Tree, but hearing that Dōma would be going personally put him at ease. Among the younger generation of the Clan, there were only very few people Yakou could call a close person and Dōma was one of them.

Not to mention, he was also a very responsible person and Yakou knew that he wouldn't mess up the mission; if it was Bai Long who requested for it, Yakou would undoubtedly deny the request.

"Send them my permission to execute the mission. Tell him that he has maximally 48 Hours and that he should only target some insignificant people, not anyone from the ruling caste or something similar."

For now, it was better to leave members of cultivator Clans, Sects, or Nations alone for the time being and rather target some people where not even a dog would bark if they disappeared.

Getting some information on the situation in the Frigid Origin Realm was not that bad...

Still, now Yakou had another kind of dilemma which was where the hell Automatons were in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World and what they were doing...

Hopefully, the machines retained their attention solely on barren lands without any significance.

***

Several weeks later

The mission Ōtsutsuki Dōma embarked on ended successfully and he managed to capture a good number of cultivators from the outskirts of the central regions of the continent. Most of them were not affiliated with any faction and were so-called rogue cultivators.

The good news were that the strongest cultivator in the continent, where they were right now, was only around the Divine Spirit Realm of the Seven Divine Realms, so even Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis could handle them.

However that only applied as long as they didn't use any forbidden methods to increase their strength in a short time drastically. Another thing that they learned, which was already rather bad news, was that the Realm King of the Frigid Origin Realm was a high-level Divine Master Realm.

That certainly wasn't good news, as the Divine Masters were equal to the Saint Realm - Saint Immortal Stage cultivators of the Ōtsutsuki Clan...

Even Yakou was a bit nervous hearing that because he didn't stand a chance against the Realm King without breaking through the Saint Realm.

His worst suspicions that someone was using the Low-Rank Star Ream to hide were true.

If not, then the Realm King wouldn't be an almost peak Divine Master Realm Profound Cultivator.

Divine Masters were the strongest cultivators of the current era and if someone became Divine Master, then they would typically rule High-Rank Star Realm, not small and backward Low-Rank Star Realm.

Yakou was easily able to deduce that the ruler of the Frigid Origin Realm has probably someone who offended some powerful faction and was forced to hide here. Even though he was Realm King, apparently, he was a very reclusive person and rarely appeared in public.

Still, everything this only played into the cards of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Below the Realm King, there were a few Divine Sovereign Realm cultivators and a bunch of Divine King Realm cultivators, but they were too reclusive and only left to collect the tributes from the cultivator factions of the Frigid Origin Realm once in a while.

Several months later, Firgid Origin Realm, Flowing Sand Continent


After several months, the God Tree finally bloomed and was fully germinated, which meant that they had successfully established a God Territory on this small patch of land.


This was good news for the Ōtsutsuki Expeditionary Forces because the moment Yakou connected with the God Tree and finished the God Territory, they would be able to withstand even attacks from Holy Lords in their own Origin World for some time.


Now, with the God Territory established, the fortifications were also finished, and the process of laying down Sealing Arrays was in progress. While in progress, the majority of the job was already finished, and now the place had rather formidable defenses.


That was kind enough it put even Yakou at ease for the time being.


When Yakou was confident in their defensive capabilities and with Phase 1 officially done as they managed to secure the foothold in the Frigid Origin Realm, they could move on to Phase 2 of the plan.


Conquest of the Frigid Origin Realm.


For that, Yakou was right now having a meeting with all inner circle members of the Expeditionary Force, essentially all Clansmen who were calling the shots in this place and were in charge under him.


"Now that we have established the God Territory, we need to start with the conquest of the Frigid Origin Realm... Dōma, present your findings."


Ōtsutsuki Dōma was kidnapping cultivators of the Flowing Sand Continent for the past five months or so and extracting information from them. Right now, they have a very good grasp of knowledge about not only the Frigid Origin Realm but also about the Realm of Gods.


Naturally, the information they learned weren't something secret and most general information, but it was better than nothing. Of course, it was better than nothing and they could work with this.


"Now, we would be focusing solely on the Flowing Sand Continent because, as we have learned, the Flowing Sand Continent has been disconnected from the rest of the Frigid Origin Realm for reasons unknown."


Ōtsutsuki Dōma then stood up as he projected a holographic map of the entire Flowing Sand Continent, with several distinctive markings, a division into territories and even sub-territories with marks of factions that ruled their respective lands.


"The biggest obstacle we will encounter would be solely laying on the Iron-Sand City, which is located in the middle of the Flowing Sand Continent. The Iron-Sand City is the hegemon of the entire continent; the rest are absolutely insignificant aside from two notable sects, Flame Lotus Palace and Dune Sand Cult, as they have confirmed several Divine King Realm Cultivators."


Indeed as it proved, the Frigid Origin Realm was far stronger than even the Middle-Rank Star Realm...


"What about the strength of the Iron-Sand City?"


Ōtsutsuki Kirihara raised her hand as Ōtsutsuki Dōma frowned upon hearing the question.


"We don't know precisely, probably the City Lord or someone behind him is surely at the Divine Sovereign Realm and there are more than ten Divine Kings in the Iron-Sand City... though there is another problematic thing..."


He then made a pause, which made Yakou narrow his eyes as he was listening to the report.


"From several people I 'questioned', I heard that the Iron-Sand City has someone directly connected to the Sky Gate Sect."


Sky Gate Sect was the name of the ruling faction of the Frigid Origin Realm, and it was also a faction of the Divine Master Realm King. Weirdly enough, someone connected to the Sky Gate Sect was in the abandoned Flowing Sand Continent...


That was most intriguing about, at the same time, also greatly disturbing.


For the time being, Yakou didn't wish to deal with the Sky Gate Sect, as the ruling faction of the Frigid Origin Realm had some very powerful cultivators, many of which are match even from powerful Saint Realm Ōtsutsukis.


Not to mention, according to the rumors, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect was also a Divine Master Realm cultivator comparable to Saint Immortal of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.


"Hmm... while we lack the trustworthy source, we will work with the variant that the leadership of the Iron-Sand City is indeed connected to the Sky Gate Sect."


Yakou, as the commander of the Ōtsutsuki Expeditionary Force, in the end, decided to take the rumors seriously because he would rather be safe than sorry. He didn't take any chances; probably, his overly cautious personality was speaking here.


Not to mention the last experiences he had with the Automaton Commander, he got too paranoid about anything, as he almost died in the self-destruction of the Automaton Commander due to underestimating his opponent.


This was the moment that severely curbed down his arrogance.


"Now, according to the plan, the most suitable advance would be to go into the forbidden zones in the Flowing Sand Continent to pant the God Trees and harvest some fruits for the development. We can easily gather many High-Grade Chakra Fruits and Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruits in a short span of time."


Indeed, this realm was a treasure trove in itself... the quantity of Profound Energy was so much staggering that it made look Starveil Origin World like a desolate wasteland...


Though at the same time, as the saying goes, "Life finds a way" and such thing happened as all major species in the Starveil Origin World developed in a certain direction to obtain power.


Like the Werevolves, which developed their Aura, Vampires got stronger through Blood, Ōtsutsukis through planting the God Trees and harvesting Fruits. Everyone adjusted to the situation; everyone adapted, and even the Sage Clan that was solely cultivating Nature Energy developed to this.


"Then, after capturing the Forbidden Areas, which are consisting approximately 40% of the Flowing Sand Continent, due to an overwhelming number of Profound Beasts and extremely dangerous flora, we can advance on the Iron-Sand City."


Hopefully, then, they would already have several Saint among them, which would essentially guarantee their success in the operation. However, the only way how to fight out would be to fight some Divine Realm cultivators.


Yakou wanted to compare them, to see how strong they were compared to the Saints of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.


Maybe he could go out and fight some Profound Beasts on the Divine King Realm to find and see, to compare them in a real combat and gather real data. All information that the Ōtsutsuki Clan had on the Profound Way Cultivation System was mainly theoretical.


"Now, if you allow me, I have already created a plan for the conquest of the Forbidden Lands on the Flowing Sand Continent. If we move fast and without any loss, we can do this in one year, with the germination time for the God Trees should be around five to six months, maybe seven or eight, depending on the conditions."


Ōtsutsuki Dōma then started presenting the next stage of the plan.

"Right now, our target should be these five places; each one of them is ruled by Divine King Realm Profound Beast. They are the most dangerous Forbidden Lands on the Flowing Sand Continent. According to the calculations, if we plant God Trees in these five lands, we can get tons of Chakra Fruits."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma explained their plan right now...

Yakou was meanwhile pondering as they were taking High-Grade Chakra Fruits and even Supreme-Grade Charka Fruits to a certain degree as something that was becoming a common thing.

In the Starveil Origin World, they were priceless things, but here they were common...

If only the Starveil Origin World had the same levels of Nature Energy as was the Profound Enerngy in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World. If only the powerhouses of the Ōtsutsuki Clan could do this in the other Origin Worlds...

From what Yakou heard, it wasn't commonly done because the Ōtsutsuki Clan couldn't afford to send most of their powerhouses to different Origin Worlds, planting Chakra Fruits and so on...

The majority of the Origin Worlds were already under the control of powerful Chaotic Origin Lifeforms; some Origin Worlds had thousands of Cosmos Gods (Tier 4 Holy Lord Realm), so it wasn't the wisest thing to do.

If there was World-Rank Chaotic Origin Lifeform, then even entering such Origin World was utter suicide.

"So basically, every one of us will go to one of these lands plus Kirihara."

As Yakou said that, Ōtsutsuki Dōma nodded in agreement because this would require the participation of all of their high-end fighters. Only they had the power to deal with the Tier 3 beings on their own without any support.

Even though Yakou had some doubts about the personal strength of his fiancé, as he didn't really know if she could match the Divine King Realm Profound Beast, but apparently, Ōtsutsuki Dōma chose the weakest one of the five for her.

"The strongest beast?"

The Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki looked at the Ōtsutsuki Dōma, who then switched to the files of several Profound Beasts.

"Certainly, the Scarlet Armored Dragon, Level 10 Divine King Realm Profound Beast as it was seen several centuries ago. Right now, as approximately two thousand years have passed since the last time it was spotted, it could have theoretically reached Divine Sovereign Realm."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma stated seriously as all of them looked at the image of an imposing crimson dragon with countless spikes around its body, thick scales and an enormous body.

"Hmm... I will take care of it; others should not be the problem?"

Ōtsutsuki Kirihara got Divine King Ream Profound Beast called Violet Tattooed Bear, which was one of the more troublesome beasts to deal with but only due to its vitality and defensive capabilities.

When it came to its offensive capabilities, Violet Tattooed Bears were not very famous for it, so Yakou was put at ease. He believed that Kirihara could deal with the Divine King Realm Profound Beast like this.

"When do you want to execute the operation?"

Yakou asked as their territory, which they had established, was already safe enough, not talking about the fact it was very well hidden from the privy eyes. They were literarily in the most desolate parts of the Flowing Sands Continent.

Even the chances that they would be found here were minuscule, not to talk about the need to fight here.

"As soon as possible... After we take down the Forbidden Lands and get the Chakra Fruits, we can focus on breaking through to the Saint Realm. For that, I propose we make the next move only after at least ten people in the Expeditionary Forces have become Saints."

With that, the presentation of the plan by Ōtsutsuki Dōma was finished as Yakou nodded, signaling everyone that they would be going with this one.

Indeed, without having more Saints, or rather without having none, attacking the Iron-Sand City was a foolish thing to do.

"Okey.... what are you rest waiting for? Get into the job!"

Yakou ordered with a rather irritated voice because he didn't really wish to leave right now as he wanted to focus on comprehension of Dao. Unfortunately, it seemed, that fate had other plans for him, and he was forced to cut his time short.

Hearing the orders from the Crown Prince of Ōtsutsuki, everyone rushed out, even the Ōtsutsuki Dōma, Ōtsutsuki Bai Long and Ōtsutsuki Gin. From the three of them, Ōtsutsuki Bai Long could barely contain his excitement because they were finally going to fight something.

For a battle maniac like him, standing still and not doing anything was akin to torture... which now has ended finally at last.

"Do you think you can fight the Divine King Realm Violet Tattooed Bear?"

Yakou asked Kirihara with an unusual domineering voice. Right now, he was speaking to her not as her finaceé but he was speaking to her as her commanding officer in the military operation; those were drastically different positions.

"Yes. As long as it isn't very powerful, which according to Ōtsutsuki Dōma's report isn't, I should be able to quell the Violet Tattooed Bear."

She stated back confidently, like a little soldier, as Yakou nodded in agreement. While he had some doubts, he still believed in the strength of his fianceé. Yakou sparred with Kirihara many times over and over; he greatly understood her strength.

Though the thing she had over Yakou were her combat experiences, as she was over 700 years old, she had plenty of them.

She was going on a mission for the Ōtsutsuki Clan for more than five hundred years and actually speaking, she had an almost clean streak within the Administration Hall.

There were not many people in the Clan who completed that many missions like her with such precision and perfection.

"Still... be careful when confronting the Violet Tattooed Bear; in the end, it is Profound Beast comparable to Saint Realm Cultivator, even though only the Saint Sea Stage of the Saint Realm."

Yakou warned his fianceé because he didn't wish something to happen to her, but at the same time, he understood that he couldn't be protecting her at all times. Not that she wanted their relationship to be in such a way.

She was a proud woman confident in her strength and deep inside, while she was glad that Yakou was caring for her, at the same time, she didn't wish to become a burden to Yakou.

"Don't worry... the bear would become skewer faster than you can blink."

Kirihara said with a chuckle as Yakou smiled slightly hearing that.

Some time later, the Flame-Heart Volcanoes, Flowing Sand Continent

Flame-Heart Volcanoes were considered as one of the most dangerous Forbidden Lands in the entire Flowing Sand Continent, but what Yakou didn't know was that it ranked as one of the top ten in the entire Frigid Origin Realm.

Not only because of a relatively high level of the Profound Beasts that lived in the Flame-Heart Volcanoes but also due to the Volcanoes themselves. They were extremely dangerous, capable of incinerating even some powerful Divine Realm experts into ashes within seconds.

Yakou arrived at the Flame-Heart Volcanoes and the first thing he saw was a region characterized by the presence of active or dormant volcanoes, as well as other volcanic features such as geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and volcanic lakes.

These areas are typically located near tectonic plate boundaries, where magma rises to the surface, or over hotspots, where the magma from deep within the Earth melts through the crust.

The activity of volcanoes in the Flame-Heart Volcanoes was varied. Some of them which Yakou saw were dormant or totally inactive, while others may be highly active with frequent eruptions.

"So where to start..."

Yakou at first observed the entire Flame-Heart Volcanoes for some time before he started pondering over the next movements. From a distance, he could see hundreds of Profiund Beasts, all of them in the Divine Realms; some of them were in the Divine Spirit Realm already.

He was using his eyes to search for the Scarlet Armored Dragon, but he guessed that the Scarlet Armored Dragon was, with the highest probability, slumbering under of the volcanoes, cultivating to get stronger.

This was common because the Scarlet Armored Dragon was a fire-elemental dragon, so such an environment was best suited for him. The concentration of the fire-attributed Profound Beasts was enormous; in the distance, Yakou even sensed a nest of some kind of fire ant Profound Beasts.

Imagining millions of them coming out from their next terrified him, truth to be told, especially if all of them were at the Divine Realms. He decided to mark that area as off-limits for now; he would let the God Tree deal with them.

'As the ruler of the entire forbidden area of Flame-Heart Volcanoes, it should have some Divine King Realm Profound Beast under it's rule... I should eliminate them as the first ones in case the Scarlet Armored Dragon decided to use numbers against me.'

Yakou thought before he slowly formulated the plan. Right now, he had spent a few months in the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World so that he could use the Clairvoyance of the Senrinjōnegan to a certain degree already.

The sole thing he wanted was to see how many Divine King Realm Profound Beasts were in this forbidden zone, so he could take them out one by one before he went and killed the ruler of this entire forbidden zone.

The first one that Yakou located was some kind of fire serpent-type Profound Beast standing at the Divine King Realm. Considering the fact that in the entire Flame-Heart Volcanoes, the dominant species were those of draconic or serpent descent, it wasn't that surprising.

He then sped towards the location of the Fire Serpent at the Divine King Realm; he crossed several active volcanoes while dodging one that was about the implode. The force with which the volcanoes was exploding was probably enough to injure even him severely.

'This area is indeed pretty dangerous.'

He thought as he continued flying towards the lair of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as the Profound Beast made its lair at one of the lava lakes. It was happily swimming in the lava lake and enjoying the hot environment while ignoring everything else.

'Energy Quantity is indeed at the Saint Realm... if converted to Chakra, it should be around 100M Chakra Units. I wonder how it compared in regard to the destructive prowess...'

Yakou analyzed the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as he was comparing the raw power of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent to his own and to the power of the proper Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki.

'In regard to the energy capacity, I am vastly inferior... prolonged combat is out of the question, so the only choice is overwhelming power tactics.'

He decided on the strategy in a second. A peak Tier 2 Ōtsutsukis had a maximal Chakra Capacity of around 10 Million Units. The Divine King Realm Fire Serpent had an energy capacity comparable to 140 Million Units.

While energy isn't everything, it played a significant factor when fighting because one could easily go into prolonged combat and also, cast more powerful attacks more often.

Yakou didn't dare to underestimate the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent, as he instantly made his move. In a split of a moment, he was enveloped by greenish Chakra that was flaming, as his Tensei-Sharingan started shining and three magatama dots were spinning at full speed.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion: Lightning Judgment of Golden Dust!"

He then focused a tremendous amount of Chakra into one of his Truth-Seeking Balls that were hovering behind him. He then grasped it in his hand as he created an enormous golden sword of pure Chakra and Dust, boosted by the Dao of Dust.

Everything happened too fast, as the sword sparkled with lightning and slashed at the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent. Yakou watched how the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent was decapitated in one swift move, which made him sigh in relief and at the same time, he was considering the real power of the Divine King Realm.

There was still a certain possibility that while in terms of energy quantity, the realms were similar or rather the same, but it started to seem that in terms of real power, they were pretty different.

Like comparing heaven and earth.

"It's time to harvest the corpse."

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan muttered quietly as he looked at the corpse of the Divine King Realm Fire Serpent that was lying in the lava lake motionlessly. He observed the corpse for several seconds before he started digging out its Profound Core.

Similar to the other species that had Profound Vein Core in the body of cultivators, the Profound Beasts had Profound Cores. Naturally, not every Profound Beast had a Profound Core; common ones certainly didn't.

Starting from Nascent Profound Beasts, Profound Cores existed in all adult Profound Beasts, with each rank higher in quality, as the Profound Core was the core of the existence of the Profound Beast.

It was the core where it's essence and all Profound Energy were concentrated, so they were valuable.
