Chapter 363: Purification

The black hole above the grand array collapsed in an instant.

The light of the array formation also extinguished at the same time.

The outer world expert named Lord Deun, voluntarily severed the communication, as if the Insect Mother was an ominous presence, and any further contact with it would bring bad luck.

A silence fell in the underground space, and everyone remained silent as if contemplating something.

Until Zero snorted coldly.

“Looks like we’re really in big trouble.”

After saying this, he looked at the Insect Mother.

“However, it doesn’t matter if it’s troublesome or not. No matter how troublesome it is, we have to find a solution to it… Ona, try again, see if you can contact other outsider kin.”

Ona, or the Insect Mother, nodded slightly.

With the infusion of the Source Stones and Divine Source into the array once again, the array emitted light again.

However, this time, Ona did not receive any response.

After several attempts, the Insect Mother shook its head solemnly, “No, I was not able to contact other kin.”

Transmitting information from the Black Mist Zone to the outside world was already a considerably difficult task.

The first contact with Lord Deun was partly because Deun and Ona shared the same bloodline, and partly because Deun was powerful—although they did not know how strong he was, addressing the Insect Mother as a little one indicated considerable strength.

And now, Lord Deun obviously did not want to get involved in the mess of the Black Mist Zone, rendering this formation essentially meaningless.

“But it’s not entirely in vain.” Bai Zhe raised his chin and pointed to the crystal held in the Insect Mother’s hand. “At least, we got this.”

As everyone looked at the crystal in the Insect Mother’s hand, Zero sighed and said, “What a pity. If we could find reinforcements from the outer world or if Lord Deun said more, our troubles would be much less.”

“But forget it. These things are beyond our control.”

“Let’s see what’s in the crystal first before proceeding to the next step according to plan.”

With that, Zero and Bai Zhe walked towards the Insect Mother.

Seeing this, Jiu Han thought for a moment and trotted after the two.

At this point, how could Jiu Han restrain his curiosity?

Almost at the same time.

In the Boshi Tower of Xuanshui City.

Looking at the divinity in his hand, Lu Ming saw that only the last layer of the divinity array formation was left.

Thin array patterns covered the colorful light spots at the core.

At this moment, Lu Ming did not break the last level of the array patterns. This was because once he broke the array patterns, Lu Ming was afraid of unexpected changes. This way, Lu Ming could already see the full appearance of the thing inside the core of the divinity.

It was a tiny eye, shimmering with colorful light…

No, more precisely, it was a flat, colorful eye-shaped pattern.

So what’s this thing?

Is the main purpose of divinity to nurture this thing?

Uncertain about what this eye-shaped pattern was, its purpose, or its significance… Therefore, at this moment, Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled.

But soon, Lu Ming’s eyes widened.

This was because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was somewhat similar to the blood pattern of the eye of flesh and blood…

No, its not just a resemblance; apart from being smaller, the two are exactly the same!

In that case…

Thinking of this, Lu Ming’s train of thought suddenly became clear.

The blood pattern is the core of divinity!

This is the true form of divinity!

However, after prying into the true form of divinity, Lu Ming discovered an even bigger problem.

There’s a big problem with the Heaven Ascension Stairs and the Source Power System.

The Divine Spirit Realm is basically equivalent to a pig. The meaning of their existence is to help the Supreme God nurture the blood patterns within the divinity.

So, if I want to continue to increase my strength… Can I still take this path?

After contemplating for a moment, Lu Ming had an answer.

I can walk halfway…

Yes, only halfway!

It could only be halfway!

Creating divinity was possible; Lu Ming could already reshape divinity. What he lacked was integrating his own blood pattern into divinity—and on how to do that, Lu Ming actually had some ideas.

In short, this was not difficult for Lu Ming.

In other words, at this moment, as long as Lu Ming wanted to, he could completely embark on the path of an Outer Dao God that Jiu Han had designed for him.

It was just divinity, it was not a big deal.

However, the problem was that creating divinity required a massive amount of Divine Source. And, after the successful creation of divinity, an abundant source power environment was also needed.

As for things like Source Power and Divine Source, they have a big problem…

Speaking of which, it made one’s scalp tingle.

Lu Ming and Jiu Han initially thought that the biggest challenge of the path of an Outer Dao God lay in the structure of the divinity.

However, after Lu Ming studied everything thoroughly, he came to a realization…

There was something fundamentally wrong with this Source Power system.

If there was a problem with the source power, then everything under the source power system would be problematic…

How do I deal with this?

At this moment, Lu Ming was in a dilemma…

A moment later, Lu Ming seemed to have thought of something and he suddenly froze.

Is this Source Power and Divine Source really a problem for me?

This made Lu Ming realize one thing…

He was special… No, that was not right. It should be said that the system was special.

And regarding the point of ‘source power having a problem,’ Lu Ming suddenly thought of two things…

Firstly, he could absorb Divine Source, but others could not.

To be precise, the system could absorb the Divine Source of others, and even the Divine Source of the Supreme Gods in the inner layer of the divinity.

This was something no one else could achieve.

Secondly, his three silver patterns were mutated silver patterns.

Speaking of which, this was very easy for Lu Ming to overlook—after all, after he became Jiu Han’s disciple, he had already decided to only walk the path of blood patterns and he had never paid attention to silver patterns or even source power skills.

Now, thinking about it again, Lu Ming realized that his silver patterns were also different from the silver patterns of others.

His silver patterns were formed through the accumulation of special effects of low-level Source Power Skills.

Jiu Han had also tested it before. His Divine Source could not even pry open Lu Ming’s three mutated silver patterns.

At that time, Jiu Han attributed this characteristic of Lu Ming to his special constitution.

But Lu Ming knew very well—it was the system’s doing.

It was the system that had helped Lu Ming cultivate silver patterns in an almost impossible cultivation method.

It was also because of the system that Lu Ming’s silver patterns could not be manipulated by the Divine Source…

So, can I understand it this way?

All the Source Power and Divine Source that I absorbed have been ‘tampered with’ by the system, or rather, filtered. That’s why my silver patterns are so special…

Lu Ming could not verify this speculation.

Unconsciously, he opened his attribute panel.

As Lu Ming’s gaze swept over the attribute panel, he was suddenly stunned.

The originally rippling red light on the attribute panel had turned white at some point.

The white color gave Lu Ming a sense of calm and tranquility.

This caused Lu Ming to be dazed and have such a realization.

My speculation is correct.

My strength has been purified and filtered, it is clean!
