Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Reuniting with Old Friends, Rebuilding the Body
John couldn’t help but feel a little helpless. Tracy’s focus was clearly different from everyone else’s.

He motioned for Jean to enter the World-in-Hand again and bring some fruits from The Tree of Life.

These fruits were similar to ordinary fruits. The Tree of Life could produce as many as it wanted, whenever it wished.

The group eagerly took a bite, only to be left disappointed.

Although it was a bit tastier, it didn’t have as much value as a magic core.

It seemed that these fruits could only serve to tempt Dulu.

John glanced at the group and curiously asked, “Are there no similar fruits in other worlds?”

“Of course, there are. But as powerful beings, we don’t seek mere indulgence in food. Who would go searching for something like that?” Nine Phoenix explained, adding, “Of course, Dulu is an exception.”

The others nodded in agreement, clearly not considering Dulu to be an ordinary person.

Buzz!

At that moment, a spatial ripple occurred, and Sini appeared.

“John,” she said, looking at him and quickly speaking, “Ritchie and the others want to see you.”

Ritchie?

John paused for a moment, recalling the young boy. It had been nearly three years since they were exiled to the Realm of Chaos, and he missed him. It would be nice to hear from Ritchie about how things were going on Earth.

“Can he enter this region?” John had already been told that the Gods Descend still existed, but this was the edge of the Initial World, and ordinary strong beings couldn’t easily get here.

Sini nodded and explained, “The closest planet has now set up a teleportation array. They’ve made it here, but they still can’t enter the Void.”

“Alright, let’s go,” John said, eager to see Ritchie. He instructed Nine Phoenix and the others to hold off the magical beasts and left with Sini.

The two of them vanished, teleporting directly to the nearest life planet.

Highlight Star, this planet was somewhat similar to Earth, with most of its surface covered in water and abundant life.

Especially after the eruption of the Heaven law, life on this planet had rapidly flourished. Ben and Cand-Dragon were also cultivating here.

John and Sini appeared in the middle of a bustling city.

Their sudden arrival didn’t draw much attention from the locals.

“Boss!”

“Brother-in-law!”

Two figures opened their arms and rushed forward, excited to greet them.

It was none other than Ritchie and Armstrong.

John’s heart swelled with emotion, and he spread his arms, pulling the two of them into a tight embrace.

“Boss, I thought I’d never see you again,” Ritchie said, looking him up and down. A glimmer of tears flashed in his eyes.

“Brother-in-law, you’re so strong, I knew you wouldn’t be in any danger. I wasn’t worried at all,” Armstrong said, still carefree. He clung to John and asked, “Where have you been these past few years? Got any treasures that I can use?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget you if there’s any benefit to be had,” John said, casually pulling out several magic cores and law attribute stones, handing them to the two of them.

These items were of little use to him, but to Ritchie and Armstrong, they were treasures, things that were almost impossible to find in the Initial World.

“What’s going on with Earth now? Is everyone else doing alright?” John asked, looking at the two of them.

“They’re all doing fine.” Ritchie nodded and briefly explained the current situation on Earth.

With the resources John had left behind to help, they had grown rapidly and had become the most powerful force on Earth and even in the entire star domain.

Especially Ritchie, who had grown into a nine-star powerhouse, the strongest player in the Gods’ Game, his reputation was no less impressive than John’s had been before.

“Brother-in-law, if we had left with you back then, we would’ve definitely achieved more than this,” Armstrong said with a hint of regret. He had already heard that both Sini and Tracy had broken through to Emperor rank, which was still an unreachable level in the Gods’ Game.

“Maybe it’s better for you guys,” John disagreed.

The dangers of the Realm of Chaos could only be understood through personal experience. When they fought against The Heaven and were exiled to the Realm of Chaos, only a few dozen had made it back alive. The rest either died in The Heaven’s prison or at the hands of the Nine-Headed Lion and the magical beasts.

“Boss, there’s something else we need to talk to you about,” Ritchie said, suddenly remembering the main issue. He glanced at the passing people and continued, “Let’s find somewhere quieter.”

The group found a tavern and asked for a private room, telling the staff not to disturb them.

Ritchie’s expression grew serious as he spoke, “Boss, we’ve just received an ultimate mission—to guard the Initial Star Domain. I suspect it’s related to you.”

“Guard the Initial Star Domain?” John froze, immediately thinking about the magical beasts that had been attacking the barrier.

“Isn’t your strength a bit too weak for that?” Sini, too, seemed to have guessed, looking at the two of them with suspicion.

The weakest of the magical beasts tearing apart the barrier were at least nine-star level. While Ritchie had broken through to nine-star, he was definitely no match for those magical beasts.

As for the others, it was even less likely they could handle such creatures.

“Sini, sis, I’m strong!” Armstrong protested.

But Ritchie didn’t argue. He continued, “Boss, this mission is to guard the Initial Star Domain, to protect a place called the Sea of Laws. If we fail, the entire star domain will be destroyed.”

“The Sea of Laws? What kind of place is that?” John asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Ritchie shook his head, also puzzled. “We’ve never heard of it, but I suspect it might be related to you, Boss.”

John fell silent. This matter was indeed likely related to him.

Had he not escaped back to the Initial Star Domain, Creator God Kaos would never have known the coordinates of this place, opened the spatial passage, and sent magical beasts to destroy the barrier.

No matter what, he had to stop all of this from happening.

No matter what the Sea of Laws was, as long as they could hold back the magical beasts, they should be able to protect the Initial Star Domain.

He looked at Ritchie and Armstrong and asked, “How is your force doing now?”

He had already learned that the Blues Family had integrated Earth’s Ancient Martial Arts Family, and Ritchie’s army was also no small force.

Especially with Ritchie’s status as the strongest in his ranks, he had gathered many powerful warriors.

But the two of them seemed a little embarrassed.

Ritchie spoke up, “Boss, I have a large number of followers, but not many true powerhouses. There are about 300,000 people who are at five-star or above in strength, and the Blues Family has about the same.”

“Five-star and above?”

John furrowed his brow. With this level of strength, it was impossible to contend with Bone Devouring Beasts, Soul Devouring Beasts, or Ruin Beasts.

He needed to find a way to boost everyone’s power.

“Sini, can our long-range attacks penetrate the barrier and strike at the magical beasts outside?” He had come up with a quick way to level up.

Sini paused for a moment, then nodded, “The barrier is very similar to the previous Four Symbols Guardian Formation, so long-range attacks aren’t affected. However, everyone’s strength is too weak. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to break through the barrier.”

“It’s alright, we can use World-in-Hand as the medium.” His World-in-Hand was similar to the real world, capable of containing millions of powerful beings with no problem.

Sini’s eyes brightened. “That’s actually a great idea.”

With the protection of the barrier, everyone could hunt the magical beasts without worrying about anything, rapidly increasing their levels.

They quickly decided on the plan. Ritchie and Armstrong left to summon their subordinates and gather them on this planet.

“I’ll enter World-in-Hand first. Contact me if anything happens.” John reminded Sini before stepping into World-in-Hand. He still had one more thing to do: help Gaka reshape his body.

Now that his own cultivation had risen, he was no longer afraid of the Emperor Thunder Tribulation.

With a thought, he arrived under the Tree of Life.

At that moment, the tree was full of green crystalline fruits, just like the ones Dulu had eaten.

However, these fruits didn’t have any special effects.

“Senior Gaka, I’m here to help you restore your body.” John mentally connected to the Tree of Life and softly called out.

Whoosh!

A wave of Spiritual Power surged, and the soul form of Gaka appeared.

“Kid, are you sure about this? Is it really too soon?” Gaka asked, his voice full of uncertainty.

He too wanted to form a physical body, but after helping John refine the Dark City, he had absorbed too much Karmic Debt that still hadn’t been fully cleared.

In his current state, if he tried to restore his body and encountered the Emperor Thunder Tribulation, it would undoubtedly put his life at risk.

John, however, wore a confident expression and said, “Don’t worry. I now have the strength to help you resist the Thunder Tribulation.”

He waved his hand casually, and a sword-like energy whizzed through the air, severing a branch from the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life was unique—its essence made it the perfect soul vessel.

Gaka was hopeful but said nothing further, allowing his soul to merge with the severed branch.

Whoooom!

The Power of Laws surged, and two Golden Wheels of Laws flew out of John’s body.

These were the Life Law Wheel and the Elemental Law Wheel. The Life Law Wheel could generate new vitality, while the Elemental Law Wheel could restore Gaka’s strength.

The branch of the Tree of Life gradually took shape under the influence of the two Power of Laws, eventually forming Gaka’s previous body, Mo Yang.

Whoosh…

A gentle breeze brushed by, and he slightly opened his eyes. The color returned to his pupils, a look of surprise and joy in them.

This physical body was even stronger than the one he had before.

He looked at John and, with deep gratitude, said, “John, you’ve given me a second chance at life. I have no way to repay you. If you ever need anything, just ask, and I’ll do whatever I can!”

“Senior, I won’t be polite with you.” John nodded, not paying much attention to it.

If it hadn’t been for Gaka’s help, he might not have been able to increase his strength so quickly.

He continued manipulating the Golden Wheel of Laws, helping Gaka restore his strength.

“John, there’s no need for you to expend your energy. I’ve gained new insights, and I’d prefer to cultivate on my own.” Gaka rejected John’s offer, his power resting at the peak of Nine Stars, just one step away from the Emperor realm.

He had originally been an Emperor-level powerhouse, so it would be easy for him to refine his body again.

Moreover, he had a feeling that after breaking through the Emperor realm this time, his strength would surpass what it had been before.

“Alright, but let me know ahead of time before you undergo the Emperor Thunder Tribulation,” John said. He knew that only through his own insights and breakthroughs would his cultivation truly reach new heights.

Gaka nodded, sitting cross-legged beneath the Tree of Life and entering a state of closed-door cultivation.

John didn’t disturb him. With a thought, he left World-in-Hand and reappeared in the tavern from earlier.

Before long, Ritchie and Armstrong arrived, bringing a large number of their subordinates with them.
