Chapter 1301: Good Stuff

“If there were medicine to cure regrets, if there was still a possibility to reverse everything, I surely wouldn’t discuss any conditions with this guy, and I wouldn’t provide him with any Celestial Core Power.” This was the Godhead’s current thoughts. It was vexed, helpless, and it wanted to cry but couldn’t shed any tears.

Xu Que’s advancement ended, and he managed to reach the Earth Celestial Medium Stage smoothly, while his plunder of the Celestial Core Power in the Godhead’s dimension also stopped. But the Godhead’s dimension was nearly ruined, and ninth-tenths of its Celestial Core Power was already used up. The remaining Celestial Core Power was only enough for the Godhead to keep its spiritual intelligence and continue communicating silently with Xu Que.

It could be easily discerned that it would be impossible to force the Godhead to provide any more Celestial Core Power. Celestial Core Power was what helped it continue living in the world, and, if it lost it wholly, it would die and disappear. Even now, it was already difficult for the Godhead to maintain its dimension, and this was especially the case because it had suffered Xu Que’s baffling punch. The pitch-black Godhead’s dimension was crumbling, and it seemed like it would soon disappear.

Upon witnessing this, Xu Que could only shake his head helplessly. He had discerned that the Godhead’s Celestial Core Power was really sucked dry. A Godhead wasn’t like a cultivator; it didn’t have a body. It could only absorb the world’s Spiritual Qi little by little and turn it into Celestial Core Power. It could only accumulate it by a very slow method. Even though it had gathered Celestial Core Power for 10,000-30,000 years, the amount it had was only on a par with what a cultivator would get by cultivating for several thousand years. It could be discerned from this how precious Celestial Core Power was to a Godhead, but now this Godhead’s Celestial Core Power was nearly consumed completely, and this matter had surely left it traumatized.

TSK! TSK! TSK! “So pitiful! Now, you aren’t able any longer to devour the power of other people, are you?” Xu Que questioned it, while wearing a smile. The Godhead didn’t even have enough power to reply, though its distress was apparent.

“Fine, fine, you are already in such a state, and you won’t recover in less than 100,000 or 200,000 years. I won’t fight you. After all, we are both respectable people, and we must be upright and honest. What about the inheritance we agreed upon…?” Xu Que revealed a faint smile and stretched out his hand toward the dimension. He still asked for the inheritance! Since he couldn’t get any more Celestial Core Power, he surely had to get the inheritance. After all, it was a god’s inheritance, and he must first take it before giving any consideration to its quality. Even if he couldn’t use it, he could still sell it or exchange it for something else.

BANG! As Xu Que’s words echoed, a large hole burst open in the roof of the Godhead’s dimension, and the outside world’s light rays engulfed this region, while Xu Que couldn’t detect the Godhead’s existence any longer. It could be easily discerned that the Godhead was dying!

“Hey! Don’t be like this, why don’t you offer me the inheritance before dying? What! You aren’t dying, you are just sleeping? So give me the inheritance. Are you asking what can I do if you don’t give it to me? Even if you don’t give it, it doesn’t matter. In any case, there isn’t much difference between sleep and death. But if you sleep, you may still open your eyes once again, but if you die, you won’t open them ever again. Do you think that you will manage to open your eyes in the future?” Xu Que spoke with an nasty smile. He seemed evil and scary!

SWOOSH! A golden light ray instantly streaked across the Godhead’s dimension and fell in front of Xu Que’s eyes. However, before Xu Que could examine the golden light ray, the whole dimension swayed suddenly, before a RUMBLE! echoed. The whole dimension crumbled and disappeared.

Xu Que stood in a daze for a moment, before he shook his head, while wearing a bitter smile. “Really! Is there still any trust between humans… Oh no, is there still any trust between a human and a Godhead? Why did it run so swiftly? I didn’t really plan to kill you, so why did you have to disappear?” It was a pity that the Godhead had disappeared. Even if Xu Que wanted to look for it, he wouldn’t succeed. If he was capable of finding it, he would surely question it about how one could become a God.

“Well? Hold on, it seems like this place is too peaceful?” All of a sudden, Xu Que realized that something was amiss. He had already left the Godhead’s dimension, so why didn’t Buttface or Duan Jiude come over? When Xu Que turned his head around to take a look, he discovered that the Taoist Sanctum was still behind him, while Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others were still there. But it seemed as if they couldn’t see him.

“This is so strange, what is happening? Buttface, Duan Jiude, can’t you see me?” Xu Que frowned and shouted. However, Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others still didn’t respond, as if Xu Que was situated in a different world.

“Huh? This is…” Xu Que was taken aback, and, after he observed his surroundings, he discovered that he was stranded in a formless cage that was isolated from the outside world. This cage couldn’t be seen or touched, but he could still detect that it existed, and it gave him a similar feeling to the one he had while within the Godhead’s dimension. But after the Godhead’s dimension disappeared, this cage lost its power to constrain him, and its sole remaining function was isolation. Xu Que could clearly feel that as long as he touched it slightly, the formless cage would crumble. He was currently like a person wrapped in paper, and he could easily leave it as long as he wanted.

“He, he, interesting! The Godhead has drawn help from this object to form its dimension.” Xu Que rejoiced, and he managed to clearly understand the principles behind the Godhead’s dimension. Moreover, even though the Godhead had disappeared, Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others didn’t detect anything unusual, which meant that he was probably still sitting cross-legged in the darkness. This meant that they were observing a fake scene made by this formless cage.

“System, please check what this object is. Can you take it ?” Xu Que summoned the System and questioned it. Even though this object couldn’t strand people, it could still form a realistic illusion.

DING! “It was determined through inspection that this object is a Divine Aperture’s Shell, and it can be taken away.” The System quickly replied.

A Divine Aperture’s Shell was a shell formed after a God’s apertures went through a transformation, and it would be left behind like how a serpent would shed its skin. The Divine Aperture’s Shell was a formless object, yet it still truly existed. This object was quite useless, as even though it could create an illusion able to deceive people, it didn’t possess any might and even a mortal could pass through it. However, this was only the case for its main part, as it was still quite useful. For example, a Godhead could use it to create a dimension, change its appearance, and hide itself. This was why Liu Jingning had ended up inadvertently falling into the Godhead’s trap.

Such a matter helped Xu Que get an idea. Even though he couldn’t create a dimension like the Godhead, if he merged this Divine Aperture’s Shell with an Illusory Spell, its illusion’s effects would be better by several folds, and if he merged it with a stranding and killing formation, he might be able to deceive some people and lure them inside it to kill them.

TSK! TSK! “This is good stuff. Collect it,” Xu Que said to the System with a smile.

DING! “The collection process has been initiated, and it is estimated that it will be finished in two hours…” The System started a countdown. It was obvious that this object’s collection was slightly difficult. After all, it was like an invisible skin on a god’s body.

It was at this moment that Xu Que paid attention to the golden ray on his hand. This was the object given to him by the Godhead before its disappearance, and, if nothing unexpected occurred, this should be a god’s inheritance. After Xu Que observed the golden ray carefully for a moment, he ascertained that it wasn’t dangerous, and he slowly sent a wisp of his Mind Sense into it. The next moment, Xu Que’s eyes widened, and delight and surprise appeared on his face. He said, “What the h*ll! This is really good stuff!”
