Chapter 1008: Chapter 502 Heavenly Divine’s Generous Gift (12,000)
 

“Me? Pay respects? Didn’t he call himself Xu Yuan? Why is he now Li Yuan?” Even Zhuang Long Void God, seasoned and knowledgeable, found himself at a loss at the moment, giving rise to numerous doubts.

But his reaction was quick, and he respectfully saluted, saying, “Zhuang Long pays his respects to Li Yuan Divine Son.”

“Brother Zhuang Long, there’s no need for formality between us. You may continue to call me Li Yuan,” Li Yuan said with a smile. “I’ve just arrived in the Divine Realm and don’t have many friends, but Brother Zhuang Long’s character is someone worthy of acquaintance.”

Zhuang Long’s personality was straightforward and forthright, which Li Yuan indeed appreciated.

“Zhuang Long, Li Yuan Divine Son shows you such favor; you must remember it deeply,” Hong Kai True God said nearby.

“Understood,” Zhuang Long Void God nodded repeatedly.

In front of his teacher and the Star Domain Inspector, all the swagger and bravado he had displayed during his battles were completely gone, replaced by compliance and humility.

Li Yuan also felt a bit helpless seeing this but chose not to say more.

“Li Yuan, your disguise is truly impressive; if not for me remembering your soul aura, I wouldn’t have recognized you at first glance,” Nie Hu True God said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan.

“Just some minor tricks—not worth mentioning in front of the Inspector,” Li Yuan replied with a smile, his mind stirring as he retracted the Dream Realm Stone’s concealment effect.

The soul aura disguising ability of the Dream Realm Stone was not entirely flawless, and it had two major flaws.

First, it could not fool Heavenly Divines who have mastered complete Great Dao.

Second, if the opponent had previously encountered Li Yuan’s soul state while he was a demigod, it would be difficult to hide from them again.

This was also why Nie Hu True God could instantly recognize Li Yuan.

After all, Nie Hu True God was a True God Limit Expert and had, during a past consciousness projection to the Northern Hill Mortal Domain, interacted with Li Yuan and sensed his soul aura.

“Is he really a demigod?” Zhuang Long Void God, despite already having some expectations, still found it hard to believe.

After all, soul aura could be hidden, but strength was something that couldn’t be falsified.

Previously, Li Yuan had displayed domain techniques and soul attacks under the guise of being a Void God, which had greatly astonished Zhuang Long, though he could barely comprehend it… it wasn’t until now that he realized Li Yuan was actually a demigod!

A demigod—a single soul attack that could cause True Divine consciousness to collapse?

“Is this the legendary Purple Garment Divine Son?” Zhuang Long Void God marveled silently.

Regarding the Purple Garment Divine Son, Zhuang Long had only heard about him and had never seen one before.

After all, across the Great Stone Divine Country, there were still quite a few Purple Garment True Gods—not considered rare.

However, the last Purple Garment Divine Son to be born was from tens of thousands of years ago.

“Zhuang Long, what exactly happened?” Hong Kai True God asked. “What about Blood Talisman True God? Both Nie Hu Inspector and I were notified by the Divine Country Oversight System about the disappearance of Blood Talisman True God’s ‘Divine Sense Avatar,’ suspected to have fallen. We traced his teleportation record and came here immediately to investigate.”

“Over a hundred nearby star systems are under our surveillance,” Hong Kai True God added.

Clearly, the Great Stone Divine Country’s level of control over its territories was astonishing.

A True God Initial Rank falling prompted the dispatch of True God Limit Experts within a very short time.

Li Yuan now understood why they had arrived so quickly; apparently, they were not far away.

If they had come from the Great Stone Divine Country Capital, three million light years away, traveling via star system transmission arrays, it should have taken at least over eight hours.

“Blood Talisman True God was slain by me,” Li Yuan stated directly.

“Teacher, Inspector,” Zhuang Long Void God chimed in as well. “Both Li Yuan Divine Son and I kept our true identities concealed, merely passing by this location. While waiting for the teleportation array, we were ambushed… ultimately, Blood Talisman True God was slain by Li Yuan Divine Son.”

Zhuang Long Void God quickly recounted the sequence of events in full detail, without any concealment.

Nie Hu True God and Hong Kai True God exchanged glances upon hearing the story, both feeling a hint of astonishment in their hearts.

A single strike to kill Blood Talisman True God.

“So, the incident took place not long ago?” Nie Hu True God said softly. “Let me see.”

Whoosh!

Nie Hu True God waved his hand, and instantly, an immense wave of power engulfed an area spanning thousands of kilometers.

A multitude of slightly illusory scenes began to manifest before the group.

Shhh~ Just as if time had reversed, various semi-faded events overlapped, reconstructing everything that had happened not long ago… except all the occurrences unfolded in reverse.

“Time reversal?” Zhuang Long Void God’s eyes held a trace of amazement; this was a legendary technique to him.

“Time Retrospection Technique,” Li Yuan thought inwardly, understanding at once: “It seems this Nie Hu True God indeed has outstanding attainments in the Space Laws—he previously executed Void Shifting, and now he is using the Time Retrospection Technique.”

These two techniques, if performed by Heavenly Divines, could be executed through mastery of complete Great Dao.

But for True Gods, it required profound insight into the Space Laws and was only achievable by comprehending the two specific directions of No Space Domain and Space Object.

The Space Laws consisted of five main directions.

Space Cutting, which specializes in offensive techniques, close-quarters evasion, and more.

World, which excels in constructing domains and opening worlds.

No Space Domain, proficient in Mirror Domains, Void Realms, Void Shifting, etc.; star system transmission arrays are built upon the mystery of “No Space Domain.”

Space Object, adept at particle construction, Void Creation, cultivating Space Avatars, backtracking Void Origin, inquiry, and so on.

Virtual and Real, which pertains to the essence of the soul; those who comprehend it can establish vast Spiritual Void Realms.

The Space Dao is vast and boundless, serving as the foundation of all Daos… Those who develop even slightly in any of the five directions can rival someone who understands a Basic Law of the Tenth Stage.

If one fully masters a single direction, they are considered to have reached the Eleventh Rank in the laws, far surpassing the grasp of a Great Dao and ranking among the strongest of Heavenly Divines.

If one could achieve mastery over the Space Laws, there would be hope of reaching the legendary level of Divine King.
