502: Chapter 502 Cosmic Civilization

"Divine Soul Mark!"

"Divine Soul Mark?"

"Indeed. Every Divine Soul Method created possesses a unique Divine Soul Mark. Those who learn the Divine Soul Method will also be branded with it."

Xiao Weiqing realized—this must be the Godly Imprint Qingfeng mentioned back then.

"Is there one on me?"

"Yes. When you came last time, I could still feel it. Now that you've entered the Star Lord Realm, it can no longer be felt."

"Upon entering the Star Lord Realm, the Divine Soul and Physical Body fuse as one, and the Divine Soul Mark is hidden accordingly. Unless one's strength far exceeds that of the Divine Soul Method's creator, it cannot be detected."

Xiao Weiqing was startled and thought to himself, "In that case, one really shouldn't learn Divine Soul Methods recklessly."

"Then how can the Divine Soul Mark be removed?"

"Two ways. First, communicate with the person or organization that created the Divine Soul Method and pay a certain price to have it removed."

"Second, when your strength exceeds the Realm of the creator, the Divine Soul Mark will automatically vanish."

"I see."

Xiaoyue said, "Do you still want to take this cultivation method now?"

Xiao Weiqing remained calm, calculating the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long while.

"Xiaoyue, I've still decided to take this Divine Soul Method. But don't worry, I won't distribute it widely."

Xiaoyue said indifferently, "Up to you. Since you've taken it, it's yours. How you handle it is your business."

Either she wouldn't give it at all, or once given, she wouldn't question it further.

"Thank you."

Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Although Divine Soul Methods are rare, they aren't some top-secret technique."

"In fact, many factions in the Universe castrate Divine Soul Methods and spread them to increase their influence."

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. "Then this Divine Soul Method of the Phantom Moon Star Lord..."

"Don't make wild guesses. This Divine Soul Method is complete and can be cultivated all the way to the Dominator Realm."

"I was just asking, don't get so worked up. Thanks."

Xiao Weiqing put away the Divine Soul Method and looked at the table on the far right.

"What is this last item?"

On the last table, a box contained a palm-sized jade plaque. It was incomplete, with only a small portion remaining.

"I don't know either." Xiaoyue shook her head.

"You don't know either? Didn't the Phantom Moon Star Lord say anything?"

"She didn't. She only instructed that when the Little Master returns to the Red Moon Civilization, they should take this back as a way to repay the debt of upbringing."

Hearing this, Xiao Weiqing asked, "Can you tell me why the Phantom Moon Star Lord came to Blue Star?"

"As far as I know, Blue Star is located on the edge of the Universe."

Xiaoyue said, "Master was just out on a normal trial. Unfortunately, her luck was poor, and she encountered a Mechanical Dominator. She fled all the way here, but alas, she couldn't escape her fate of falling. Before she died, she entered this place and left her Legacy."

"Sigh, if Master hadn't fallen and had returned to the Holy Land, she could have broken through to the Dominator Realm."

"Holy Land? What kind of place is that?"

"It's a place for cultivation, similar to your higher education institutions—the top-tier kind. The concentration of Source Power there is tens of millions of times higher than on your Blue Star."

"Tens of millions of times?"

Xiao Weiqing exclaimed, "That's too exaggerated."

"It's not exaggerated at all."

"The Fifth Universe Civilization hasn't been around for very long, and the concentration of Source Power is currently far from its Peak. Places with truly high concentrations of Source Power are occupied by major factions. The Source Power there is visible to the naked eye, within reach like mist."

"What exactly do you mean by the Fifth Universe Civilization?"

"Are there also First and Second Universe Civilizations?"

Xiaoyue sat on the table, tilted her little head, and said:

"How should I put it?"

"Universe Civilization is a general term. From birth to destruction, the Universe cycles repeatedly, giving birth to countless civilizations."

"The main civilization that dominated the Universe during its first cycle, from birth to destruction, is called the First Universe Civilization."

"By the same logic, the civilization we are in appeared during the fifth Reincarnation of the Universe, so we are all considered part of the Fifth Universe Civilization."

Xiaoyue added, "The Yao Race you know of is the Second Universe Civilization, and the Third Universe Civilization is the Mechanical Race Civilization."

"Then what about the First and Fourth Universe Civilizations?"

"The First Universe Civilization is the Human Race. Otherwise, why do you think the Human Race is so powerful?"

"As for the Fourth Universe Civilization, there are very few records. No main civilization survived. I don't know if they perished in the destruction of the Universe."

As Xiao Weiqing listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong and abruptly exclaimed:

"The Universe was destroyed?"

"How was it destroyed?"

"If it was destroyed, how can civilizations still survive?"

Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. "What a fuss. Nothing is eternal; isn't it normal for the Universe to be destroyed?"

"Don't worry, you won't live to see that time."

Xiao Weiqing's face darkened. "I..."

"Am I wrong?"

"Young man, keep at it. Work hard on your cultivation. Maybe you'll have a chance to achieve the Undying Realm. Then, you can dominate a part of the Universe. Things like the destruction of the Universe have nothing to do with you."

Xiaoyue chuckled and patted Xiao Weiqing on the shoulder.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Weiqing glared at Xiaoyue and turned to leave, afraid he wouldn't be able to resist hitting the little brat.

"Leaving already?"

"Aren't you going to wait for the Little Master?"

Xiaoyue asked from behind.

Xiao Weiqing said nothing and left directly, exiting the Illusory Moon Secret Realm and bidding farewell to Wei Chaoxiong.

...

...

Great Xia.

A certain sea area.

"Old Headmaster, when did this appear?"

Xiao Weiqing asked softly as he looked at the scenery before him.

"Not long ago."

"Calculating the time, it should have been right after you dealt with the world origin."

"So, Azure Dragon Island is going to completely fuse with Blue Star?"

Before the two of them was a mirage-like scene. The entire Azure Dragon Island was flickering in and out of sight, and the Spiritual Qi inside was leaking out, visible to the naked eye.

"It's possible. News has also come from the Vermilion Bird Empire and the Xuanwu Kingdom; their situations are similar to ours."

Xiao Weiqing said, "It seems the changes on Blue Star are getting bigger and bigger. What about those Ruin Entrances? Will they also be like the four Great Divine Halls?"

Xie Zhiyuan said, "We don't know yet. However, the Ruin Entrances are undergoing some changes."

"What changes?"

"They're becoming more and more stable, changing every day."

"More and more stable?"

Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes. "What about the Demon Realm Entrances?"

Xie Zhiyuan sighed, "I was just about to tell you. All Demon Realm Entrances have been anchored within a week."

"News from the Demon Suppressing Army says that at basically all Demon Realm Entrances, the Yao Race is massing on an unprecedented scale."

Xiao Weiqing knew what Xie Zhiyuan meant. With all entrances anchored, a great war with the Yao Race was imminent and unavoidable.

"Old Headmaster, how many Demon Realm Entrances are there on Blue Star now?"

"A total of twenty-four. Seven in Great Xia, five in Vermilion Bird, seven in Tianlang, and five in Xuanwu."

"Among them, five can allow demigods through. Now that the entrance channels are incredibly stable, I'm afraid we won't be able to restrict the Yao Race from entering Blue Star."

Three months ago.

The Yao Race launched a massive invasion, but because the entrance channels were not stable enough, fewer than forty Demonic Race Demigods entered. Coupled with the fact that each Yao tribe had its own hidden agendas, Xiao Weiqing was able to defeat them one by one.

Now.

I'm afraid the Yao Race won't make that mistake again.
