426: Give you eternity

A month later, Jiang Chen's body reformed again. The golden light in his eyes still existed, but his body was extremely weak.

The moment he finished reforming, as soon as his consciousness recovered, he saw Tian Ming suspended not far away.

The large pit below was full of ordinary zombies. In this month, about ten percent of the space city's construction had been completed. The personnel originally stationed at the Space Station had mostly moved into the space city, and new research personnel had begun to enter the original Space Station.

Jiang Chen looked at Tian Ming, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. His immortal body, if he didn't have time to recover, would be repeatedly scattered into a particle state, and the time for reassembly would become longer and longer.

Once the energy of the particles forming his body was exhausted, the next reassembly might take hundreds or even thousands of years.

"You, want to exterminate me?" Jiang Chen slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"You die, I live in peace!" Tian Ming said indifferently.

"You threaten me. If I don't kill you, should I wait for you to kill me instead?"

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, his eyes full of despair. He slowly said, "The corpse race has now spread all over the world, but they have no intelligence. It's meaningless for me to be this Corpse Emperor."

"Then just die. I can send you on your way." Tian Ming's tone was cold as he began to hand-craft a nuclear bomb.

"Wait, I don't want to reassemble anymore. I'll give you the Red Crystal Core. If I reassemble again, it will be tens of thousands of years later."

Tian Ming stopped hand-crafting the nuclear bomb and said, "I remember you said you couldn't give me the Red Crystal Core."

"Hehehe, I lied to you, and you believed it? Since I am the Corpse Emperor, I am naturally different from other corpse races. My Red Crystal Core is different." Jiang Chen smiled, raised his hand, and as golden mist rose, the golden mist formed a vortex like the Milky Way, slowly condensing towards the center.

This feeling was like stars in the universe condensing. A golden orb of light formed around Jiang Chen's body. The orb grew larger and brighter until it finally became a fist-sized golden crystal.

From a distance of over ten meters, Tian Ming could feel the strange energy of the Red Crystal Core, unlike any previous Red Crystal Core.

Jiang Chen looked at the Red Crystal Core in his hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he still handed it to Tian Ming.

"This is my Red Crystal Core. It requires me to condense it myself. Once the Red Crystal Core is condensed, the energy of my immortal body has already returned to zero. The next reassembly might be thousands or tens of thousands of years later, or perhaps there will be no chance of reassembly again. I hope you can give me a quick death."

Tian Ming looked at the Red Crystal Core in Jiang Chen's hand, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He didn't completely believe Jiang Chen's words.

Seeing Tian Ming hesitate, Jiang Chen said calmly, "What, you don't believe me?"

"I believe you, but I have some questions. Why would you voluntarily give me the Red Crystal Core?"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you were once an ordinary person too, right? What do you do when you encounter something you can't change? You can only passively accept it, and that's how I am now. Do you want this Imperial Red Crystal Core or not?"

Tian Ming smiled indifferently and said, "The Red Crystal Core's energy is useless to me. Go on your way, Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen pushed the Red Crystal Core in his hand, and the Red Crystal Core shot towards Tian Ming like lightning.

Tian Ming slightly shifted his body, but the Red Crystal Core locked onto Tian Ming directly.

"Heh heh, I knew it!" An invisible barrier formed around Tian Ming. The Red Crystal Core glowed brightly, and in an instant, it transformed into an extremely dazzling orb of light, directly engulfing both of them.

The moment the light engulfed them, everything around seemed to stand still. The intense light made it impossible to look directly, and the surrounding space rapidly collapsed. This Red Crystal Core contained all the energy Jiang Chen had absorbed.

The Red Crystal Core exploded, but it didn't create much commotion, like a silent movie.

The light gradually dissipated, revealing the scene within. Jiang Chen had disappeared, and Tian Ming had also vanished in that light.

Jiang Chen had turned into particles. These energy-depleted particles would need tens of thousands of years or more to accumulate energy again for Jiang Chen to be reborn.

As for Tian Ming, the moment Jiang Chen's Red Crystal Core exploded, he was directly pulled into a wormhole by a strange force.

The Yuanchu God had acted again, not because Tian Ming couldn't resist the power of this Red Crystal Core, but because this game had already determined a winner.

"Where is this?"

Tian Ming found himself in a vast space, surrounded by endless stars, as if he were in the center of the universe.

"This is the Yuanchu God Realm, a world I created." A voice echoed in his mind.

"Although the energy of that Red Crystal Core is strange, it can't kill me. You didn't need to save me." Tian Ming said.

"Hehehe, the struggle between the corpse race and humans has ended. Overall, it somewhat exceeded my expectations." The Yuanchu God seemed dissatisfied with this outcome.

Tian Ming, however, smiled indifferently: "Ended? Where has it ended? The current Blue Star is full of zombies. Can this be considered an end?"

"Those zombies are just soulless husks, and you humans have already begun to build a space city, but your technology has not yet reached the level I expect. It's not enough to help me. You've been too overzealous." The Yuanchu God's tone revealed dissatisfaction, his intention already very clear.

"Send me back. You told me then that you existed as an observer and would not interfere in any way. Now, from your tone, it seems you haven't achieved your expectations."

The Yuanchu God sighed and said, "Fine, since I can't cultivate a civilization that can help me break free from the rules of the divine level, then this eternity, I will directly give it to you. I will unlock all restrictions on your divine power. This time, I will fall into eternal slumber and will not wake up again."

"Wait, what do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly make such a decision?" Tian Ming quickly asked. Unlocking all restrictions wouldn't that mean he would be omnipotent in the universe? Such a great thing, just given to him directly?

"Child, what is eternity? If you break through the rules of this universe, you will be able to awaken me. At that time, you will understand what eternity is."

"Wait…"

As soon Ming's voice faded, suddenly, an extremely bright light appeared in the void, directly enveloping Tian Ming's body. Immediately after, a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

Tian Ming was unable to move, his body rapidly disintegrating. This disintegration was extremely thorough, so thorough that it made people feel extreme fear.

Molecules, atoms, quarks, then elementary particles, and finally turning into quanta, Tian Ming could clearly feel his body transforming into a ball of energy, becoming a consciousness.

The Yuanchu God's complete memories, all information from the beginning of the entire universe to the present, all flooded into his mind like crazy: star maps of all sizes, trillions of civilized technologies, countless types of celestial body information, all forcefully crammed into Tian Ming's mind.

It turned out that there were so many civilizations in the universe, so wonderful, but the price of becoming a god was so cruel and terrifying.
