Chapter 625 — Protective Archaeology and Destructive Archaeology

And at that moment, in the Donghuang Domain, within the Domain Lord's secret realm, Shi Cen opened his eyes and smiled. Teacher Maomao had finally broken through.

With a single step he teleported outside, appearing before Teacher Maomao and the others.

"As of today, she is a Transcendent!" The Owl beat everyone to it, introducing Maomao for her, which left the Gem Cat furious.

"Forget it. When do we set off?" the Gem Cat asked.

"No rush. Tell us what the Transcendent level feels like. Did you manage to work out how to raise the quality of the Source of Transcendence?"

"No rush, no rush. Not yet. The wish power isn't quite enough. Once I've gathered enough inheritance, I'll try again." The Gem Cat said, "Heh. But as for strength, it's stronger than I imagined."

"If I wanted to, I could wish for a giant planet to leave its orbit and crash into Blue Star. I could wish for the sun to age faster for some reason and finally explode, annihilating the star system. If it were Blue Star before the breakthrough, it definitely couldn't survive such a disaster..."

"Even cosmic disasters like star storms could very likely be wished into existence... and made to befall someone. Pretty strong, isn't it!"

"Stop, stop, stop." Shi Shuo said, his face darkening. "Why is it all about murdering Blue Star?"

The Gem Cat looked innocent. "Using planets as examples is just more intuitive."

Shi Li: "And besides, it's Blue Star before the breakthrough. Meaning you can still only deal with god-level, huh."

"Be careful. Don't go around exposing yourself as the weakest Transcendent... otherwise..."

Maomao was enraged. "Who's the weakest Transcendent?"

"Once we reach the Overlord Territory, I'll definitely defeat a Transcendent myself and show you."

"I'll have you know, when I met the five great divine race ancestors on Blue Star, I wanted to ask them for a spar, and none of them dared agree."

The Owl thought to himself: Of course they didn't dare. Beating you brings no benefit, it's only natural; losing to you would make them the genuine weakest Transcendent. They're not fools, so why would they fight?

"Keep a low profile, a low profile. Once we reach the Overlord Territory, keep a low profile. The formidable god-levels over there are far more numerous than on Realm King Star." Teacher Tuna warned, afraid Teacher Maomao would get carried away.

"Let's go." The Gem Cat snorted.

"Alright." Shi Yan said. By now everyone had assembled, and it seemed they could set off for the Overlord Territory.

The Overlord Territory was not only the farthest from Blue Star, it was also very far from Realm King Star. This voyage would be a true grand journey. Though they had not cultivated to a bottleneck here on Realm King Star, it was the same as before—cultivating slowly during the journey worked just as well. In any case, Shi Jin had still brought plenty of resources this time.

"Get ready. Let's go." Shi Li.

...

After bidding farewell to their acquaintances, Shi Jin and the others set off from Realm King Star and began their journey to the Overlord Territory.

The Overlord Territory was indeed distant. During the voyage, the concept of Shi Yun faded once more. Shi Jin spent his time cultivating and adding points, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

And this was still with Shi Jin using Transcendent-level energy as propulsion. Over that year, after leaving the Cosmic Sea, they had basically encountered no life at all.

There still seemed to be a long way to go before the Overlord Territory.

Just when Shi Jin thought he would have to endure this dull voyage and work overtime for a long while yet, Lin's voice came through: "Master, I've detected a spaceship sending us a distress signal."

"After deciphering it, they encountered a star storm during their voyage and barely escaped, but their energy has been completely depleted and their ship is damaged. They hope for our assistance."

"That's not good. Our energy is already running low." Shi Li said. "If we save them and then run into some trouble ourselves, what do we do if we're short on energy?"

"They say... they're a Transcendent. Though they lack voyage energy, they've brought a pile of other rare cultivation resources and will definitely repay us. Anything we want."

"Saving people comes first. If energy runs short, we can delay and resupply on planets along the way." Shi Li.

"Wait, they seem to be an acquaintance." Lin exclaimed.

In the distance, from a battered spaceship, a divine bull flew out, mooing for help in the starry void.

It was none other than Jemon, the Collapse Divine Bull, the final examiner of the God-Sealing War for Shi Jin and the others.

At that moment, the Collapse Divine Bull was weeping in the starry sky. Unlucky, so unlucky. After being released from prison, because that so-called God-Sealing King had beaten him savagely, he had become the talk of Realm King Star. Beaten so miserably, he felt he had instantly lost the face to remain on Realm King Star, and he was unwilling to face those relatives and friends.

The desire to join the Cosmic Overlord Legion, which had already dimmed, surfaced once again in the heart of Jemon the Collapse Divine Bull.

He not only wanted to join the Cosmic Overlord Legion, he also wanted to meet the Cosmic Overlord himself and pay homage to his idol. So he chose to run away from home, taking his mechanical assistant, and set off alone for the Overlord Territory.

Yet barely two years after setting out, he had encountered a star storm and nearly died...

But heaven never seals off a bull's path. Excited and hopeful, he gazed at the warship coming from the direction of the Cosmic Sea, hoping for their help...

"Moo, come to think of it, why does this warship look so familiar?"
