The next moment.
Rhea Redmoon couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is that place, that even a God Emperor would risk venturing there?"
Snowsun God-King's expression suddenly turned extremely grave. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a Ruined Universe!"
"What?!"
Hearing that it was actually a Ruined Universe, both Rhea Redmoon and Galen Jensen were visibly shocked.
'Universe' is a collective term for the Human, Immortal, and Divine Realms.
"Sigh!"
Snowsun God-King sighed softly: "I was the one who discovered that universe. Later, I entered it together with Demon Island's master. No one knows how that universe was destroyed—all living things are dead, leaving behind endless undead spirits. Demon Island's master tried to seize the Heart of the Universe and ended up trapped at its core. I didn't dare go deeper due to lack of strength, and it took me a long time to escape. Still, that place, while dangerous, holds many opportunities. I managed to obtain a single drop of world origin there, which is what let me break through to mid-stage God-King!"
"World origin!"
For a moment, both Rhea Redmoon and Galen Jensen's breathing grew rapid. World origin is something even God Emperors covet, let alone God-Kings like them.
Every universe can draw energy from chaos to form its origin power.
Most of that origin power is used by Heavenly Dao to maintain the world itself, so the amount God Emperors can obtain is extremely limited.
But a Ruined Universe is different.
There, Heavenly Dao is already dead. Although not much origin power remains, even that leftover origin is endlessly beneficial to God Emperors and God-Kings.
As for the Heart of the Universe, that’s even more extraordinary—it’s the converter Heavenly Dao uses to absorb chaos energy and transform it into origin power. However, if a universe is shattered, it’s surely because the Heart of the Universe was damaged, and it may no longer function as a converter.
Even so, for a God Emperor, it remains a tremendous temptation. If someone obtains the Heart of the Universe—even a damaged one—and comprehends the secret of converting origin power, their future cultivation will skyrocket, leaving other God Emperors far behind.
“Universes exist by relying on chaos. That Ruined Universe should be within the chaos, but our strength isn’t enough to cross chaos itself!”
Suspicion flickered in Silverwing God-King’s eyes as he looked at Snowsun God-King.
Snowsun God-King replied, “There’s a teleportation array in a certain forbidden land that leads to that universe. Otherwise, not just me—even Demon Island’s master couldn’t reach it directly. That place is simply too dangerous, so this time I invited nine God-Kings from the God-Demon Corps to join me!”
Ian Song immediately understood why the God-Demon Corps agreed to release Sikong Mingyue—it turns out both sides had reached an agreement.
