The group entered the giant pit and soon arrived at the wormhole.

  Going through the wormhole, they arrived at the world opposite the wormhole.

  It was a planet, and a planet with life to boot. At first glance, a verdant green grassland could be seen.

  There were prairies, streams, and tall mountains. It was a vibrant planet, but the concentration of Gene Arcana was very low.

  “Not bad, if we plant the Arcana Trees here, in a few years’ time, this will be a good training place.”

  Vulcan looked around with joy in his eyes. Any planet with life was inviting for Earthlings.

  Be it for living or for terraforming into training grounds, the planet’s value could be maximized to enhance Earth’s strength.

  “Not bad.”

  Emperor Might nodded slightly as well, with a look of elation in his eyes.

  “The rarest part of it this planet is its atmosphere; it is very close to that of Earth. The gravity and atmospheric pressure are basically the same!”

  Ling Jiu smiled. “As long as we transform it a little, low-level Arcanists could live here. This is a very good planet.”

  “That’s great!”

  Everyone was joyous.

  “Let’s go look around.”

  Everyone was a planetary lifeform and able to fly, so they stood in the air as they took in the vista. This planet was indeed inhabited.

  These inhabitants looked exactly the same as Earthlings, or rather, they resembled Europeans. All of them were herders, and they raised their animal flocks for a living.

  Moreover, they were generally very weak. The strongest was no better than a Level 6 Arcanist while the weakest was only equal to Level 1 or Level 2 Arcanists.

  “These inhabitants should be the descendants of those taken by the Celtic gods from Earth back then, or rather, the descendants of the Celtic pantheon.”

  Emperor Might came to a conclusion. “After all, as those people are self-proclaimed gods, without worshippers, what’s the point of the gods living here in solitary?”

  “It’s very possible.”

  The group continued to wander around and discovered that although there were a lot of inhabitants there, things were no different from ancient times. Their technology was very backward since they were in a herder and agrarian society……

  It was ancient and barbaric.

  What left them speechless was when they flew over a tribe, all of the inhabitants there would kneel to them and pray.

  It was clear that these inhabitants have been thoroughly brainwashed by the Celtic gods that when they see the group of people flying in the sky, they would instinctively worship them.

  “A backward world dominated by the gods, and the intelligence of the people completely shackled!”

  Ling Jiu shook his head, and this was the first time he had an aversion to the gods.

  \r \r \r

  “The so-called gods are actually a selfish bunch.”

  Vulcan, on the other hand, was quite straightforward. “They would do anything to hinder the development of the world beneath them in order to solidify their rule and godhood.”

  “So, in a world dominated by the gods, there is no fertile ground for freedom technological advancement.”

  “Indeed!”

  Half an hour later, everyone arrived at a large mountain.

  At this time, a roar of fury thundered from deep inside the mountain, and following that, a vast, tyrannical aura surged.

  “Impudent mortal, you dare intrude upon the Divine Sanctum?”

  “Hmmm?”

  Everyone looked at each other before trailing their gaze towards the mountain.

  The mountain was about a thousand feet tall, planted firm into the ground like a sharp blade.

  Atop the mountain was a grand temple. The furious roar and roiling aura from earlier had come from that temple.

  “Don’t worry, it should just be the remaining Celtic gods.”

  Ling Jiu faintly said, “After all, how could a great pantheon have only six gods? come, let’s go and have a look.”

  “Make sense!”

  The group flew over, and this time, everyone was rather relaxed. The primary deity of the pantheon, the One-Armed Elder had already been killed by Ling Jiu. How much of a fuss could the remaining gods kick up?

  When they arrived at the temple on the top of the mountain, they saw the square before the temple was full of people, or rather gods?

  At a glance, there were sixteen of them.

  These people were all stellar lifeforms, and most of them had an indifferent look in their eyes. They looked at Ling Jiu and the rest with no emotions, as though they were looking at a group of inanimate objects, a group of ants, a pile of rocks……

  Their gaze had everyone speechless as Vulcan sneered. “They really think themselves gods, and us as mere mortals.”

  “What a group of ignoramuses. With their minds limited like that, they will never achieve anything greater,” Emperor Might said with disdain.

  “Indeed!”

  Ling Jiu nodded.

  All of them might be stellar lifeforms, but there was a vast difference in their minds and understanding.

  As new-age Earthlings born in the 21st century, they knew the vastness of the universe and knew that there were more powerful beings out there. They were aware that stellar lifeforms were existences at the bottom of the universe. They were aware……

  But these people were not!

  They only knew about Earth and this land before them. They only knew that they were the high and mighty gods. That was all they knew……

  So, they were no different than your average ignoramus, looking at the sky and feeling all too proud of themselves as they proclaimed themselves gods……

  Only one word could describe them: Pitiful.

  “Ling Jiu, what to do with these people?”

  Emperor Might and Vulcan looked at Ling Jiu. After he had killed the One-Armed Elder and displayed his might, they had recognized his position.

  The Arcanists, after all, spoke using strength.

  “What else is there to say to a group of ignoramuses?”

  Ling Jiu spoke casually and started to probe the Arcanas of the gods. He was doing it nonchalantly.

  But he never thought that there would be a surprise.

  Name: Epona Cernunnos

  Race: Earthling

  Arcana: Absolute Speed (Awakened, Replicable, Plunderable), Absolute Servitude (Awakened, Replicable, Plunderable)

  “Absolute Speed? How fast is that? ”

  Ling Jiu looked at this female god named Epona Cernunnos.

  “Also, Absolute Servitude, is that an ability to enslave others?”

  As Ling Jiu thought, he did not hesitate in giving out the order. “Replicate Absolute Speed, Plunder Absolute Servitude.”

  Replication successful. Assimilate?

  Plunder successful. Assimilate?

  Ling Jiu did not rush to assimilate, and instead quietly used Void Devouring.

  Instantly, all of the gods, the temple behind them, and the entire mountaintop were devoured by Ling Jiu. Even the void itself was devoured.

  Then, the mountain top disappeared.

  Everything on the top of the mountain disappeared.

  They were…… swallowed into the floating island.

  Soon after, a black hole appeared directly before them.

  (⊙o⊙)

  Seeing this, Emperor Might, Vulcan, and the rest were all stunned. “What happened?”

  “They suddenly disappeared?”

  “Don’t worry, I’ve devoured all of them.” Ling Jiu explained.

  “Oh, come on!”

  Vulcan could not help but curse. “Brother Ling, can you say something first before you attack?! Suddenly striking like this is quite scary, you know?”

  “It’s not that I did not want to explain things, but there was a god among them that have the Absolute Servitude Arcana!” Ling Jiu explained helplessly.

  “I don’t know how powerful this Arcana is or if it can enslave others as its name suggests. I dared not take any risks, so I struck in silence.”

  “Absolute Servitude!!”

  Everyone exchanged glances. “The hell? There’s such a sinister Arcana?”


  Chapter 271: Enslaving the Behemoth, Kissing the Brother-in-law

  After killing the group of gods, the crowd continued to sweep the area for any fishes that had escaped the net.

  Half a day later, all of the stellar lifeforms on the planet were wiped out. After this, the group left the place the Celtic gods called the Celtic Continent.

  “What’s next is pretty simple.”

  After returning to the outside world, Vulcan stretched his arms and said, “Send someone here to build a base and plant Arcana Trees at the same time.”

  “Not bad, the Celtic Continent is a planet of life, so the Arcana Tree could live and grow at a much higher rate here than on Mars. As long as they are planted on a large scale, within three years, the Celtic Continent will become a sacred ground for training.”

  Emperor Might nodded slightly with a look of longing in his eyes. With the stellar lifeforms like them having Whitehole 2 to train, there was no need for Poseidon anymore.

  However, they could leave Poseidon for the talented folks in the ultimate matriculation camp, and the super training camp. They were the future of humanity, and the stronger they get, so does humanity, and Emperor Might was more than happy to see a large number of powerhouses emerging among humans.

  That way, Earth would be safer.

  “Let’s make our move then.”

  Vulcan rubbed his palm eagerly, “We’ve already handed Mars over to the ultimate matriculation camp, lets leave the Celtic Continent to the super training camp then.”

  “There are plenty of people in the camp, and would be able to finish the planting task in the shortest time.”

  “This works.”

  Emperor Might nodded.

  Soon after, the two returned and convened with humanity’s top echelon. Meanwhile, Ling Jiu and the others returned to Lantian Base City.

  Although four to five months had only passed on Earth, they had been away from home for 12 years now. 12 years, was a long time.

  They were like travelers who had left home for many years and were eager to go home.

  On their way back, Ling Jiu took the opportunity to assimilate the two Arcanas.

  After some study, Ling Jiu was surprised to find that both Arcanas were very good.

  Absolute Speed could increase his speed up to 100 times higher than before.

  Ling Jiu’s current speed could basically reach first cosmic velocity.

  That was 7.9 km/s!

  One hundred times this speed, or 790km/s, was an astonishing speed. It was 2,323 times the speed of sound!

  It was clear that this Arcana was definitely not weak!

  As for the second one, Absolute Servitude…… it was even more overpowered.

  It could infect his foe’s mind without them realizing it, and could permanently and completely change one’s mind and will, reaching the point of freely controlling and enslaving someone!

  “Bloody hell, this Arcana is just broken!”

  Ling Jiu took a deep breath as his eyes lit up. “With this Arcana, does that mean I can freely enslave anyone?”

  Enslave……

  The first target Ling Jiu thought of was the Void Behemoth.

  The Void Behemoth was a powerful galactic being and an overlord-level being that could dominate a galaxy.

  If he were to enslave the Void Behemoth, won’t he be able to run rampant across Milky Way then?

  “The only problem is, the Void Behemoth is just too strong, and even with this Arcana, I probably won’t be able to enslave it.”

  The second target Ling Jiu thought of was the Flame Astral Behemoth.

  Although this one was not born yet, it had great potential. If he raised it carefully, it would be a superb fighter in the future.

  Moreover, a Flame Astral Behemoth was already the pinnacle of a stellar lifeform upon breaking out of its shell.

  With Ling Jiu’s current strength, he could completely enslave it, and there would be no embarrassing problem like the one he had with the Void Behemoth.

  \r \r \r

  Thinking of this, Ling Jiu simply told Leoux what he had in mind. The moment he mentioned enslaving the Void Behemoth, Leoux immediately rejected it.

  “You gotta be dreaming if you want to enslave the Void Behemoth now. The difference between your soul level is so big that it will not work even with Absolute Servitude!”

  “All right, then!”

  “As for the enslavement of the Astral Flame Behemoth, that is completely feasible. Although this Flame Astral Behemoth has yet to break out of its shell, its soul and body had long been fully developed. You can try to enslave it now.”

  Leoux slowly said, “Once done, you can take it to Whitehole 2. I believe that it will soon break out of its shell.”

  Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, sure!”

  He instantly acted. After sending his family home, he took the opportunity, as he went to the toilet, to sense the Dimensional Mark on the eggshell. Then, he promptly teleported before the Flame Astral Behemoth egg.

  It was still that big red egg, and it was still continuously ingesting Dark Bio-Energy from the void as nourishment for its gestation.

  However, Ling Jiu could clearly feel the changes in the egg, as the life force and the aura radiating out of it was much stronger than before, with a faint trace of palpitations.

  “Flame Astral Behemoth…… Here I come!”

  Ling Jiu suppressed the excitement in his heart as he let out his mental power and quietly penetrated into the Flame Astral Behemoth as he began to look for the soul of the Flame Astral Behemoth.

  As he had replicated most of the Flame Astral Behemoths Arcanas, Ling Jiu knew it very well, and he soon located the Flame Astral Behemoth’s soul.

  Since the Flame Astral Behemoth had not been born yet, its soul was also in a deep sleep state. So, when Ling Jiu’s mental power touched the Flame Astral Behemoth’s soul, he did not suffer any resistance or attacks.

  Nonetheless, Ling Jiu could still feel the tyranny and brutality from its soul.

  The Flame Astral Behemoth, as a Devourer-type Astral Behemoth with a supreme bloodline, had its tyrannical and brutal nature hidden deep within its genes.

  Even if it had not been born yet, the things imprinted deep within its genes would not change.

  The tyranny and brutality shocked Ling, and he could finally understand why 9527 said that once the Flame Astral Behemoths was born, it will be the end of Earth.”

  Indeed!

  For a brutal supreme Direbeast like this, what was humanity? What was Earth? Nothing but gnats and a mere novice village!”

  In order to grow, it would devour everything!

  “I cannot let this guy run free.”

  Ling Jiu took a deep breath, and quietly activated Absolute Servitude.

  After branding his mental imprint deep inside the soul of the Flame Astral Behemoth, and at the same time he quietly changed its mind and will, making it eternally loyal to him.

  “I hope the Absolute Servitude Arcana will not let me down!”

  Ling Jiu was skeptical about the Absolute Servitude Arcana’s ability to permanently change the mind and will of the Flame Astral Behemoth as well as completely enslave it.

  Therefore, one could only take a single step at a time. If the Flame Astral Behemoth was really loyal to him after birth, that would be good. If not, too bad.

  “Leoux, take it away!” Ling Jiu said slowly.

  “Understood!”

  A moment later, the Flame Astral Behemoth’s egg was sorted inside the Leoux, and Ling Jiu would place it at Whitehole 2 once he went there.

  Immediately after, Ling Jiu teleported back home and continued to sit on the toilet bowl.

  For the next few days, Ling Jiu stayed at home while on the other side of Earth, the various major training camps gathered quickly.

  Pangu’s super training camp.

  Vulcan’s Vulcan training camp.

  The Freedom Alliance’s training camp.

  Tianwei’s Tianwei training camp.

  The training camps of the various militaries across the world, and the training camps of the major Arcana combines all gathered at Salisbury Plains, and then entered the Celtic Continent.

  Along with them to the Celtic Continent was a large amount of Arcana Tree saplings.

  One could imagine that as the Arcana Trees got planted on the Celtic Continent, this planet would become another Poseidon.

  Humanity would then have another training ground! ……

  Ling Jiu stayed at home for a whole week.

  Today, he and Bai Ya were going to visit his mother-in-law. The two had prepared presents before teleporting over to Bai Ya’s place.

  Ding dong!

  The door opened and the mother-in-law greeted them enthusiastically as her face bloomed into a smile. “Come in! Come in!”

  Ling Jiu and Bai Ya entered the house and the latter looked around as she asked. “Mom, where’s Wangwang?”

  “She is still sleeping.”

  The mother-in-law looked at Ling Jiu somewhat embarrassedly, before smiling and said.

  “Since that little girl came back, she had not been sleeping at night, nor does she wake up during the day. If it weren’t for lunch, she could sleep her way till night……”

  “Xiaoya, go have a seat with Xiaojiu first. Mom will prepare something for you two!”

  “All right, Mom.”

  Bai Ya responded before looking at Ling Jiu. “I’ll go and see Wangwang.”

  As she said that, she stuck her tongue out at Ling Jiu before running into her little sister’s room.

  A moment later, Wangwang, who was clad in furry puppy pajamas, was dragged out of her room by Bai Ya. With a sleepy face, she reluctantly called out to Ling Jiu, “You’re here.”

  “Why are you speaking like this, call him brother-in-law?”

  Bai Ya was displeased as she poked her little sister in the forehead with her finger and said angrily.

  “What brother-in-law? He’s just a pervert.”

  Wangwang glared at Ling Jiu angrily and immediately took Bai Ya’s hand as she said, “Sis, why did you become friends with him? What’s so good about him?”

  Bai Ya glanced at Ling Jiu awkwardly and just as she was about to scold Wangwang, Ling Jiu waved her hands to get her to calm down, before smiling and said to Wangwang.

  “Wangwang, this is probably our second meeting, right? Tell me, why do you have such an aversion to me?”

  “Hmph! You still have the cheek to ask?”

  Wangwang said with a fierce you. “Back on Pandora last time, you robbed me and sis of our crystals, and you dared to threaten us, and you’re asking why I’m having an aversion towards you?”

  “And here I thought it was something big, just a few pieces of crystals no? And you held a grudge about that until now?”

  Ling Jiu rolled his eyes and casually took out ten pieces of Dark Bio-energy crystals as he smiled. “These are ten Dark Bio-energy crystals, enough for you to reach a stellar lifeform.”

  “Dark Bio-energy crystals?”

  Wangwang blinked her big eyes as she stared at the crystals.

  “Wangwang, these are good stuff!”

  Bai Ya leaned over to her sister’s ear and whispered a few words. Wangwang’s eyes immediately lit up as she took the ten Dark Bio-energy crystals, and grabbed onto Ling Jiu’s arms as she said with a sweet smile. “My beloved brother-in-law, you’re a nice man, and you’ll be forever my only brother-in-law!”

  That turnaround was quick……

  Ling Jiu complained deep down but he did not bother being calculative with her, and patted her head and said.

  “Come with us this time. I’ve already spoken to Emperor Might. You don’t need to go to the ultimate matriculation camp anymore. Follow us to Whitehole 2!”

  “Whitehole 2?”

  Wangwang was taken aback again.

  Seeing her confused look, Ling Jiu could not help but ask, “Bai Ya, you didn’t tell her?”

  “Nope, Whitehole 2 is the world’s top secret. Without a nod from big shots like you, I dare not let my tongue loose.”

  Bai Ya pursed her lips and smiled.

  She was a very principled person, and she knew the importance of Whitehole 2. As such, aside from Earth’s big shots, no one else knew about it.

  In this instance, before getting Ling Jiu’s nod, she would not say it out loud. Even if the other party was a little sister!

  “You…… are just too rigid!”

  Ling Jiu helplessly said, “We are family now, so why do you have to be so serious? You can tell your sister about Whitehole 2.”

  “Okay!”
