Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 438: World Core
Today, Yunzhong City is deserted.
Ever since he encountered the gods in the Rotten Cave, Xu Shen moved the parliament headquarters. Now it looks very desolate and quiet and has been designated as a restricted area.
"Lord of the Ruins!"
The three kings guarding the restricted area of Yunzhong City saw Xu Shen and hurriedly saluted.
Xu Shen asked: "Is there any unusual movement here?"
"No." A king shook his head.
"Okay, you guys continue to guard."
Xu Shen didn't say much, crossed the restricted area and went straight to the rotten cave.
Seeing the direction Xu Shen was heading, the three kings looked at each other in surprise. The news that there were gods in the rotten cave had long been no secret among the kings. Xu Shen actually dared to go there alone. Wasn't he afraid of encountering gods?
Not long after, Xu Shen arrived in front of the rotten cave.
The dark cave is like a pair of black eyes.
Xu Shen's figure moved slightly, crossing from the fourth level of the world to the fifth level. Here, he also revealed his true form, instead of his original human appearance as in the fourth level.
The round and huge body, like an eyeball, floats above the rotten cave.
Maeve stood beside Xu Shen, accompanying him quietly.
The rotten cave seen on the fifth level of the ruins is slightly different from that on the fourth level. The original dark inner wall of the cave was just uneven stones covered with wet mucus, but on the fifth level, the strange stones disappeared, replaced by black fuzzy tentacles that seemed to be made of flesh and blood.
The wet mucus seemed to be made up of these wet hairs.
Xu Shen smelled a rotten smell from the wet fur. This world was indeed rotting and decaying.
He jumped straight into it. Inside this rotten cave, Xu Shen was not restricted by the special rules of this place and could fly freely. His figure landed lightly at the bottom of the rotten cave as if it had no weight.
Countless pieces of meat wool were swaying , and some of them were dripping with stringy sticky liquid, emitting a very strong stench.
Xu Shen didn't stop and walked forward along the cave.
Having been here once before, he seemed very comfortable and familiar with the place this time.
We didn't encounter any strange insects along the way. In the fifth-level world, there was only silence, decay, and festering.
The general route in the cave did not change. Xu Shen moved forward all the way. Along the way, he occasionally encountered some strange limbs deformed from the flesh wall, which suddenly extended out to attack, but were easily cut off by Xu Shen.
Not long after, Xu Shen arrived at the place where he had encountered the gods before.
Here, Xu Shen met the god again.
It was the same place, but the god's appearance had changed slightly. His entire body was covered in thick plasma, with lumps on the outside of the plasma like seaweed, like tiny hands that had not yet grown out.
The other party also noticed Xu Shen. His flesh and blood squirmed, and his hideous mouth slowly opened, revealing all sharp fangs.
Without any communication, the other party attacked Xu Shen directly.
Xu Shen was equally polite . This time he did not feel too much oppression. Instead, he could clearly see the movement trajectory of this god, including the special lines wrapped around its body.
These are the threads of destiny.
The special power generated by the intersection of cause and effect, fate and time represents the predetermined ending.
Xu Shen waved his hand lightly, and the sharp blade formed by the interweaving of abilities, which contained hundreds of characteristics, touched the line of destiny. In an instant, the line was cut off, and the god in front of him trembled all over, and then exploded, turning into rotten flesh, as if losing some kind of support, tilting down and scattering all over the ground.
Its original divine core has been obliterated.
Xu Shen stepped over the body of the god and continued forward, feeling a little emotional.
He was once so frightened by this god that he could only run away in fear, trying his best to get a slight chance of escape. But now he can kill it with just a wave of his hand. Although they are both gods, there are still differences between them.
Xu Shen could feel the weakness of the god before him, like a child, not yet fully formed.
"Is the god here the god from the past, or the god that was born from this container?" Xu Shen asked Maeve as they walked.
The two walked in the dark, wet flesh-and-blood cave, but it seemed like they were taking a stroll in a suburban garden, a little careless and casual.
"It should be a god that was born from corrupted and mutated matter."
Maeve guessed, somewhat unsure.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. Could gods also be bred from this thing?
“But this kind of god is destined to be extremely weak. Even if he enters the kingdom of gods, he will be ravaged and mocked.” Maeve said.
Xu Shen thought about it and felt relieved.
Only such a weak god could allow me, who was just a king at the beginning, to escape from his hands.
Now that he has become a god, Xu Shen can feel the power of God. If it were him, even if he was ten times stronger than before, he would not be able to leave under his nose.
The difference between God and the king is like the difference between God and mortals!
Not long after, Xu Shen encountered another god. This one was similar to the previous one, but with a slightly different appearance. Its body was covered in gray mud, and it was lying in the flesh wall, seemingly sucking something.
When he saw Xu Shen and Maeve, he also pounced on them without any communication.
But Xu Shen quickly killed him.
Through conception and replication, he condensed within himself all the abilities he could imagine.
In other words, he can master anything that can be imagined.
Time and destiny are all under his control. His attacks are sure to hit their targets and his words are like laws. Even among gods, he is at an upper-middle level.
To some extent, it is almost omnipotent.
But there is still a huge gap from being truly omnipotent.
Even time, Xu Shen can reverse it, but like Pamela, the length of time he can reverse is limited.
If Padmipa could travel back a thousand years, then Xu Shen would be longer, but still limited.
It is precisely this limitation that means even the most powerful gods cannot be immortal and will decay.
Just like it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine because any material will wear out, the same is true for abilities. Even if various abilities such as reproduction, life, and reincarnation are superimposed, under limited conditions, it can only prolong life to the maximum extent. Maybe it can live for 100,000 or 1 million years, but when the abilities are superimposed to the point of lack of a medium, it will gradually decline.
And the perfect container is, in a sense, infinite.
for a long time.
When Xu Shen came to the end of the rotten cave, the rotten smell around him gradually disappeared. There was a kind of fragrant smell here that was fascinating. In the winding passage, Maeve guided Xu Shen, and finally, he came to a vast place.
This place is like a plain, with vast expanses all around, but a bright golden light is suspended in the center.
Xu Shen felt a strong energy from the golden light. That thing was similar to the purple-red core in the defective container, but it was obviously more majestic, larger, and more sophisticated.
