--- Chapter 116 ---
Baek Ain looked down on the Netherworld Panthers, pressuring them with his presence. The power of Golden Crow's Possession and Howl of Sovereign White Tiger is effective against beast-type opponents.
He moved his gaze to the pure white tower and told the Beast Tribes' Elders behind him to stay here. Picking up the Sky God's Gene Fluid, he could tell something was waiting at the entrance.
And just like he guessed.
The two golden crystals in Baek Ain's hands flew out, forming a twin rotating for a few minutes. A manifestation of a youthful-looking man appeared before him.
He is supposed to be in his early twenties with slick-back blonde hair and red eyes, wearing a loose white robe that exposes his upper body. There are several crimson-gold markings on his body.
"Hmm..." The manifestation seized Baek Ain from top to bottom.
"1-Step Sovereign Realm, 17 years old. The lower plane's energy in your body is around that level. Not bad, You're the most suitable candidate to become the new Sky God."
"Even the Serials I have created couldn't match your genes."
"Maybe it has something to do with your bloodline. I didn't know such a bloodline existed, even in the Great Thousand World."
"It seemed my effort to escape from those hateful bastards was the right choice. Who would have thought someone from a lower plane would reach such a stage, hahaha~!" He laughed at Baek Ain's face, leaving him speechless.
The corner of Baek Ain's mouth twitched as he sighed and said, "Can we just proceed to the important matter?"
"You know? Fixing the Energy Source of Sage Kingdom."
The blonde man scoffed and returned, "Fixing the Energy Source? That would take years to do so. Sage Kingdom is a secret artifact I brought from the Great Thousand World."
"Unfortunately, the component to restore Clock Tower's Clock hand is still recorded here. The materials, on the other hand. Let's not talk about the main materials because even the complimentary materials are scarce in this lower plane."
"You can restore the Energy Source, but the clock hand of the Clock Tower is still responsible for managing the energy. Without it, the Sage Kingdom would fall in fifty years."
"Who said I don't have a broken clock hand?" Baek Ain smiled at the manifestation of the blonde man. After all, he possesses a powerful and overpowered Sign-In System to get him things.
He fakely picked something from his spatial ring and threw it out. It was the Broken Clock Hand Baek Ain had obtained when he Signed In to Great Sky Clock Tower.
The face of the blonde man sank in disbelief.
He looked at the chunk of metal on the floor, glancing back and forth between Baek Ain and it.
He was dumbfounded.
"H-How?" Just like he said, the materials to craft this are scarce. Even he couldn't do anything about it.
Baek Ain shrugged and answered, "I found it on the way here."
"Bullshit!" The blonde man retorted.
"It's up to you to believe me or not. Now recover the Energy Source."
"Anyway, what should I call you? Oh, the esteemed Sky God." There is a hint of mockery in Baek Ain's tone.
"Fan Gu..." The blonde man's manifestation silently answered with annoyance. "Damn, who would have thought someone more irritating existed besides that bitch."
"So I'm qualified to become your inheritor?" Baek Ain smirked because he once had a friend like Fan Gu. Their characters are similar.
Fan Gu shook his head and laughed, "No, you're a perfect Son of Bitch!!"
...
...
Fan Gu escorted Baek Ain into the Primal White Tower, telling him the history of his journey to this lower plane. At the time, he was "actually." known as the Slick Handsome Thief, which had stolen countless women's hearts and made a hundred thousand men angry.
Of course, he was chased away from the Great Thousand World for other reasons. But stealing other wives and daughters is part of it.
"Tsk, those simps. They couldn't handle my handsomeness and chased me away. If I could perfect my genes back then, I would wipe their sissy ass to the void!" Fan Gu grumbled angrily.
Baek Ain listened to Fan Gu's story and didn't reply. He wanted to know more about the Great Thousand World, but this guy went on a whole roller coaster in his story.
Yes, this confirmed Fan Gu's character.
He's a shameless motherfucker, which he admitted proudly.
They arrived at the core area of Primal White Tower, seeing a replication of the sun float above a purple-colored stand. The sun isn't Dou Qi or Flame, but pure Spiritual Energy originated from the Great Thousand World.
Fan Gu walked near the purple-colored stand and threw some jade slips at Baek Ain. "Here, my inheritance and all the research I have done with the human body." He said casually.
"And remember. A Human's Body is a treasure trove."
"Even though humans are still weaker than the beast in physique, our mind always tries to perceive greatness. It's just that our own body limits our potential."
"Why do you think we cultivated?"
"To grow stronger?"
"That's half correct."
"To live longer?"
"That's half correct as well."
"We, Humans, always wanted to reach and break the Taboo. Breaking the genetic codes given by heaven and becoming one of them!"
"Them?" Baek Ain tilted his head.
Fan Gu chuckled and answered, "Gods."
"We could even surpass those gods, becoming the Great Ruler!"
Baek Ain was quiet. Hearing Fan Gu mention "Great Ruler." makes him remember the continuation of Battle Through the Heavens and another similar novel as they are in the same great universe.
This world is an alternative version of Battle Through Heaven's Universe, meaning the Great Thousand World, where the Great Ruler originated, has changed.
A headache appeared on Baek Ain's head as he sighed. Fortunately, he had sealed this Secret Realm, so no one from the Great Thousand World could enter this lower plane.
Fan Gu tried to reach for the artificial sun, but his hand became more ghost-like. "Aih, is this my limit?" He muttered helplessly.
"In the end, The power I left behind in the crystalized gene fluid can't last forever."
"Ain Brat. Our moment is getting short."
"I wanted to give you a more detailed explanation, but there is not much time left in the Gene Fluid. I'll pass the ownership of Primal White Tower and the entirety of Sage Kingdom to you, but..."
"You need specific chants."
"Specific chants." Baek Ain's face darkened slightly.
Fan Gu laughed and countered, "Don't worry, it's nothing shady."
"Here, I whisper it for you..."
Baek Ain's ears twitched when hearing the chants from Fan Gu's mouth, staring at him indifferently.
Fan Gu nodded in satisfaction and picked another jade slip, "Also, if you have time in the future... Here is a letter for my little Yangxi."
"This one for my Goddess Snow."
"And this one for my beautiful Lei Yin'er."
"Oh, wait. Don't forget about this one..."
"..." Baek Ain looked at the stack of jade slips in his hand. Fan Gu left behind over one hundred different love letters Fan Gu left behind for his lovers.
[Damn, I thought you were a lucky womanizer, Host] Alicia commented amusingly.
[But This guy defeated you by a Large Margin]
Fan Gu was about to hand another jade slip, but his time was over.
"Welp, farewell." Fan Gu's voice echoed in the room.
The artificial sun released a bellowing light and launched a golden flash to Baek Ain's forehead.
BOOM!
"Thou shall accept the Sage Kingdom and White Primal Tower."
"Say my chants!"
Baek Ain took a deep breath and chanted unwillingly, "Ass is superior to Boobs."
[Pfft...]
"Shut up, Alicia!"
[Ding! You have finished the quest]
