Chapter 696: Chapter 313: Primordial Rule, Innate Hibernation (Congratulations to Warm Sun Boss)

Deep in the Void, Jack Clark stood quietly in front of the gate.

Behind him stood a fifty-meter-tall soul projection that looked just like him, with a black Imperial Crown on its head and dressed in a black Imperial Robe.

In the hands of this Soul Emperor, a black Seal was held, emitting a heavy oppressive feeling.

With the aid of this Soul’s Road, the Illusion Meditation Scripture had finally broken through the First Layer. His soul kept compressing and condensing, taking on the form of an emperor.

Of course, it was only similar in appearance. To reach the state of soul becoming an emperor and eternally indestructible as depicted in the Illusion Meditation Scripture, there was still a long way to go.

However, because it was deep in the void, no one could see this scene.

Feeling the path behind him collapsing continuously, Jack suddenly looked back, his gaze seemed to penetrate infinite spacetime as if seeing something, then he turned without hesitation and pushed the gate.

At the same time, the soul projection behind Jack also reached out its right hand.

Boom!

Under Jack’s burst of strength, the black gate, which could only be touched by souls, vibrated. As it slowly cracked open, a hint of white light flickered from within.

Without hesitation, Jack stepped in, and soon after, the black gate closed slowly amidst the tremors.

Outer World.

After Jack entered the black gate, the phantom in the sky disappeared, and the Ruins Continent, which was about to return to the depths of the void, was held in place by an Invisible Power.

“Jack has gone in, he’s entered that door.”

“What’s inside?”

“Nonsense, it must be an inheritance higher than that of Heavenly Kings, that’s the end of Divine Road.”

“… Jack’s hit the jackpot this time, my super golden thigh.” Seeing Jack enter that majestic gate, Justin Welan’s face turned red with excitement.

Crystal Lewis, Mandy Lewis, and those from the Southern Battlefield who knew Jack were also all shocked.

After all, that was the end of Divine Road.

Marcellus Larry had once said that there are twelve Monarch Inheritances on the Road to Becoming a God that are comparable to Heavenly Kings, including Monarch Inheritance above the Monarchs.

Brudos looked up at the now-empty Eye of Heaven Observation, a hint of excitement showed in his eyes: “This guy, he’s more terrifying than I imagined.”

“I really want to slice open his muscles to see what kind of structure is inside.”

Hearing this, Eddy Keller, standing beside him, looked at Brudos with a bizarrely twisted gaze: “I think you’d be flattened by his halberd before you could slice open his muscles.”

“He’s gone in…” At this moment, not just the geniuses below, but also the three Heavenly Kings in the sky were somewhat excited.

However, as kings, they still kept a calm demeanor on the surface.

The Nether Heavenly King turned around, looked down at everyone below, and said in a calm voice, “This trip to the relic is almost over, and everyone has gained more or less.”

“This time, everyone performed quite well on the Road to Godhood, especially with seven individuals showing the attitude of kings, which is quite satisfying to me.”

“However, cultivation is a long and arduous journey. I hope you all remain neither arrogant nor rash and continue with a courageous and diligent heart, carefully as if walking on thin ice, to ascend to the throne one day.”

The crowd immediately said respectfully, “We will heed the Heavenly King’s teachings.”

Despite the gentle demeanor of the Nether Heavenly King, he was a Heavenly King Level powerhouse stronger than the deities of Mythical Legend.

If this were ancient times, he would be a Main God-level existence. Whether in terms of status or the power he wielded, they had to respect him.

Otherwise, losing respect for the strong was tantamount to self-destruction.

At this time, the Nether Heavenly King continued to console, “Those who have not set foot on the Road to Becoming a God, or have not walked on the King’s Road, should not be discouraged either.”

“The so-called Road to Becoming a God is just a test of your current strength; it represents only the present, not the future.”

“We, True Martial Practitioners, are originally defying the heavens. Talent and potential will evolve as we continue our cultivation and our physiques transform.”

“Especially those who have received Inheritance this time, as long as you cultivate diligently and digest the gains from the relic, your strength and intrinsic qualities will step up to a new level.”

“However, before you retreat for Closed-door Cultivation, you need to go to that base and imprint a copy of the Cultivation Methods, runes, and upload them to the Federal Core Arsenal.”

“Besides, there is another matter to be handled.”

As he spoke, the Nether Heavenly King brought forth a black and white moon behind him, emanating a mysterious Radiance. It rose slowly, casting light that brightened the entire dark canopy.

Under the interwoven light of black and white, the black moon continued to expand, gradually occupying everyone’s field of vision…

At this moment, under the Netherworld Law controlled by the Nether Heavenly King, everyone’s memory of Jack was altered.

From originally walking to the End of Divine Road to receive the Emperor Inheritance, the memory changed to Jack overpowering the Road to Godhood but ultimately stopping in the later stages of the King’s Road.

Besides, Jane Aiken’s information also changed, to stopping in the midpoint of the King’s Road.

Such acts of altering the memories of advanced cultivators was something even ordinary Heavenly Kings could not do, hence Lori Joyner specially requested the presence of the Nether Heavenly King from across the mythical world.

As a Heavenly King Level powerhouse involved with soul laws like Sky King Denny Kaye but with a different focus, only he could alter the memories of nearly a thousand advanced cultivators at once.

However, these altered memories only involved recent information. While earlier memories could also be modified, the person would quickly notice something was amiss and then break the seal.

After all, every high-level Martial Arts Cultivator has a firm conviction, and their Spiritual Will is unwavering, especially those like Jane Aiken who have developed Sword Intent.

Therefore, the changes in the altered memories could not be too vast, or they would create logical inconsistencies.
