When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1048 - 400: Preparation (Part 3)

"I see." Li Xiu, however, felt that things weren’t so simple.

"Kid, if you have any more questions, ask quickly." The Unparalleled King urged impatiently.

Li Xiu’s gaze turned to the gem species in the pool water, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "What would happen if Li Boyang took all the Spirit Suppressing Stones?"

"Didn’t I just say that by then his power would be unrivaled..." The Unparalleled King replied irritably.

But before he could finish, Li Xiu interrupted, "I mean, after he takes the Spirit Suppressing Stones, what would happen to this world?"

"Well..." The Unparalleled King pondered for a while before saying, "Theoretically, Spirit Suppressing Stones are the world origin. If they were entirely owned by one person and stopped emitting power, the evolution of this world would cease, and no living being could continue to evolve; this world would exist in an incomplete state."

"Thank you, I understand." Li Xiu nodded slightly and walked towards the gem species in the pool.

"What... what are you trying to do?" The Unparalleled King was visibly shocked, immediately standing up, attempting to pounce on Li Xiu.

But the Chains of Imprisonment shackling him made it impossible for him to get close to Li Xiu.

"I want this gem species." As Li Xiu spoke, he had already reached into the pool and grabbed the gem species.

"Are you mad? The Spirit Suppressing Stone is the world origin, only its continuously secreted light energy can be absorbed by living beings. If you directly absorb the Spirit Suppressing Stone, not just you humans, even an Unparalleled Demon Spirit would be eroded by its power and become part of this world... If you want to die, go ahead... but first, help me break the imprisonment..." The Unparalleled King shouted at the top of his lungs.

Li Xiu didn’t answer him, as the Super Bottle Suction was activated, and the gem species instantly emitted colorful light energy, surging into Li Xiu’s body.

Li Xiu knew the Unparalleled King wasn’t lying; even the old villain dared not directly absorb the Spirit Suppressing Stone’s power, only using the Godslayer Shrine to indirectly absorb part of the Spirit Suppressing Stone energy that overflowed after Bu’Er’s death.

But Li Xiu was different; he could directly absorb the Spirit Suppressing Stone’s power, a capability granted to him by Xiao Bu’Er and Bu’Er.

Xiao Bu’Er and Bu’Er each fused part of the Spirit Suppressing Stone fragments, and after their bodies purified it, the Spirit Suppressing Stone’s power changed in a subtle way.

After the two became one, they gifted the Spirit Suppressing Stone’s power to Li Xiu, enabling him to ascend to deity status through the Spirit Suppressing Stone’s power, which was why he dared to directly absorb the gem species energy.

"Crazy... insane... How did I encounter such a fool..." The Unparalleled King raged, but he was helpless.

The gem species’ power continuously surged into Li Xiu’s body, quickly transforming into light energy, which integrated with Li Xiu’s own light energy, simultaneously cleansing his body.

The energy from the gem species was strong, but not as abundant as Li Xiu had imagined.

Xiao Bu’Er from the City of Love and Bu’Er from the Celestial Sea shared a Spirit Suppressing Stone fragment, and during absorption, Li Xiu felt the energy was endless, as if it could never be fully absorbed.

This gem species was cultivated from five fragments and, in theory, should have more and stronger energy.

But Li Xiu found that wasn’t the case; the energy contained within the gem species was far less than he had imagined.

"Why is there so little? The Spirit Suppressing Stone is the world origin, its power supports the entire world’s evolution. How can just a little energy constantly drive the world’s evolution?" Li Xiu was perplexed.

However, soon, Li Xiu figured it out.

He had likely misunderstood the meaning of the world origin earlier; the so-called world origin is actually not the source of the entire world’s energy but the catalyst that propels the world’s energy evolution.

Just like the relationship between gasoline and fire, no matter how much gasoline there is, it’s merely gasoline—a small flame, though tiny—can ignite the gasoline and turn the entire oil depot into a sea of fire.

Though this analogy may not be apt, the meaning aligns; rather than saying the Spirit Suppressing Stone is the world origin, it’s more accurate to describe it as the world’s catalyst.

Of course, the world isn’t gasoline, and the Spirit Suppressing Stone isn’t a small flame; it’s an incredibly magical form of energy.

As Li Xiu furiously extracted, the gem species gradually lost its fluorescence, and the plant rapidly wilted.

"How could this be!" The Unparalleled King couldn’t believe his eyes as Li Xiu drained the gem species’s energy, yet his body didn’t undergo any abnormal changes.

"Originally, I thought I could rely on the gem species’s energy to ascend to unparalleled levels. It seems I imagined things too optimistically." Li Xiu wasn’t overly disappointed.

In reality, his primary aim in taking the gem species wasn’t purely to elevate his rank but to prevent the master from seizing the Spirit Suppressing Stone.

The gem species had already turned to ashes, as Li Xiu emerged from the pool, flicking a radiant streak that shattered the chains imprisoning the Unparalleled King.

The Unparalleled King was overjoyed, letting out a triumphant howl that shook the entire underground space violently.

"My city is right above here. If you collapse it, I will bleed you and use the mud to build walls right now." Li Xiu warned.

The Unparalleled King’s long howl abruptly stopped, as if stuck, swallowing some unvented sound back, causing him to cough violently.

"Brother, how can you absorb the gem species’s energy?" As the Unparalleled King flew toward Li Xiu, his colossal form rapidly shrank, becoming only slightly larger than a regular horse when he reached Li Xiu’s side.

Li Xiu had no time to explain everything to him, instead heading towards the exit while saying, "Li Boyang should be arriving soon, if you don’t want to be used as a vent by him, then get as far away as possible."

With that, Li Xiu left the underground space, moving toward the direction of the Eternal Heaven, aiming to absorb the gem species left by Huang Hun, lest it become a future threat.
