Nina Feng and the Great Dream Immortal Tome
Once everyone realized Ian Song wasn’t actually injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Unconsciously, he had already become the most crucial member of this hastily assembled team.
“Brother Rowan, what should we do next? Should we head straight for the Creation Sky Monolith?” Prince Rowan Vance asked.
“No rush!”
Ian Song waved his hand. “The Creation Sky Monolith won’t open for a while yet. We can use this time to gather more divine fruits and spirit herbs to boost our cultivation. Also, we only have one beast core—we’ll need to collect a few more so everyone can enter the Monolith together!”
For the next month, Ian and his group stayed near the Creation Sky Monolith, collecting spirit herbs and divine fruits. At first, their haul was impressive, but as more people arrived, the resources dwindled sharply.
Nevertheless, they managed to find and slay eight Creation Divine Beasts, securing enough beast cores for everyone to enter the Monolith.
“Let’s head to the Monolith and find a spot to rest. Before it opens, we should focus on improving our cultivation as much as possible!”
Everyone naturally agreed with Ian’s suggestion.
It’s worth mentioning that this month saw a surge in new gods.
At least five hundred people became gods within the Creation Forest. In Ian’s group alone, all five Blood Demon prodigies ascended, and among the Dragonfolk, everyone except Drake Long achieved godhood.
Prince Rowan Vance and Princess Myra Vance also ascended, and each of their followers had two more members become gods.
Cato’s side gained two new gods, while the two Human elders each had three and four subordinates ascend, respectively.
On Ian’s side, even Bella Bai reached godhood.
This brought Ian’s group’s total number of gods close to forty.
As for the rest, all had surpassed the Ninth-Rank Divine General level.
Soon, Ian and his group arrived near the Creation Sky Monolith.
Seeing the Monolith up close, everyone felt a strange sense of awe. The towering stone was over a hundred thousand zhang high, surrounded by terrifying Yin–Yang and time–space powers. Anything that came within a hundred meters was ground to dust—even high-tier gods weren’t spared.
“What exactly is this Creation Sky Monolith? An Immortal artifact? Or a divine weapon?”
Staring at the Monolith, Ian couldn’t help but wonder.
Suddenly, a thought struck him—could the Divine Temple possibly collect this thing?
Just then, Ian sensed a fluctuation coming from the Divine Temple.
He quietly had the others clear a patch of ground and set up a formation, turning the area into their temporary base.
“With the formation protecting us, everyone can cultivate in peace!”
This place is a bit simple—I hope Divine Maiden Nina Feng doesn’t mind!
“Old Spirit, did you need something?”
As soon as he entered, Ian called out, since the fluctuation earlier had come from the Temple’s artifact spirit.
Nina Feng replied calmly.
Hearing Old Spirit’s repeated warning, Ian had a faint guess and asked, “Why?”
“It’s not time for you to know yet. Just remember my words—under no circumstances should you use the Divine Temple!” Old Spirit stressed again.
“This Monolith isn’t something belonging to the Star King’s enemy, is it?”
Ian’s tone shifted, asking in a deeper voice.
Nina Feng explained, “I practice the Great Dream Immortal Tome, one of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s legacy techniques. It allows my divine soul to reincarnate into three thousand lives, cultivating separately in different bodies. When the dream ends, those incarnations die, but I inherit all their cultivation and experience.”
Ruby Nie, Vivian Ouyang, and Sherry Summers were all my incarnations!
“Sigh!”
After a long pause, Old Spirit finally sighed. “Since you’ve already guessed, I’ll tell you. The Creation Sky Monolith is indeed a projection of one of the Creation King’s treasures—the Creation God Stele, who is one of the Star King’s mortal enemies.”
“Why would he do that?” Ian pressed.
Old Spirit explained, “The Creation God Stele has a special probing ability. Whenever it detects a newborn world, it projects itself to spread ‘creation.’
That way, the Creation King earns cosmic merit from the new world, and the beings who inherit the Creation God Stele’s legacy will, upon ascending to the God Realm, naturally join his ranks. Over time, his followers just keep growing!”
“So what exactly is Creation Divine Light?” Ian asked again.
Old Spirit replied, “Creation Divine Light is a kind of inheritance mark. Anyone who obtains it is qualified to become the Creation King’s disciple after ascending to the God Realm. It also contains a fragment of his cultivation technique!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Ian nodded, but a question popped into his mind: He’d obtained the Star King’s Divine Temple in the High Martial World, and now, in this world, he’d encountered a projection of the Creation King’s artifact.
But both worlds had been created by the System.
Was it just coincidence?
Or was it the System’s influence?
Once might be coincidence, but twice? Ian was sure it wasn’t.
If the System could affect two God-Kings, what did that mean? It meant the System’s power must be at least equal to a God-King’s.
And yet, the System was created by someone.
If the System itself was this heaven-defying, then what kind of monster must its creator be?
Thinking this through, Ian tentatively asked Old Spirit, “Old Spirit, is there a level above God-King?”
“There is!”
Old Spirit replied, “Above God-Kings are God Emperors, and above them are Saint Emperors!”
“Could the creator of the System be a God Emperor or even a Saint Emperor?” Ian wondered, then asked, “Old Spirit, you told me not to use the Divine Temple inside the Monolith. Is it because you’re afraid the Creation King will notice?”
Old Spirit nodded. “Exactly. You may have inherited the Divine Temple, but you’ve only gained basic usage rights. If you use it, the Creation God Stele will detect it, erase you on the spot, and the Temple will fall into the Creation King’s hands!”
“Alright, I understand.”
Ian replied solemnly, then left the Divine Temple.
To avoid the Monolith detecting the Temple’s aura, Ian decided not to use the Divine Temple again until he left the Creation Forest.
“Huh?”
Not long after Ian emerged, he noticed a group of people outside the formation.
To be precise, it was a group of women.
Ian Song, our Goddess requests an audience!
A crisp voice rang out the next moment.
With a thought, the formation split open to form a passage, and the red-robed woman at the front strode inside.
This place is a bit simple—I hope Divine Maiden Nina Feng doesn’t mind!
Ian casually conjured a stone table and two stone stools, then invited the red-robed woman to sit.
“It’s fine.”
Nina Feng replied calmly.
As Ian sized up the woman before him, he felt her aura was strangely familiar, yet he couldn’t recall where he’d met her.
“Have we met before?” Ian asked.
“You could say we have, but not in the usual sense,” Nina Feng replied.
“What do you mean?”
Ian was a bit confused.
Nina Feng explained, “I practice the Great Dream Immortal Tome, one of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s legacy techniques. It allows my divine soul to reincarnate into three thousand lives, cultivating separately in different bodies. When the dream ends, those incarnations die, but I inherit all their cultivation and experience.”
Ian suddenly understood. “So, I met one of your incarnations before?”
Nina Feng nodded. “Ruby Nie, Vivian Ouyang, and Sherry Summers were all my incarnations!”
“What?”
Ian was stunned. He hadn’t expected to have met three of Feng Jiu’s incarnations—was it fate?
Or just coincidence?
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Ian, and he asked nervously, “What happened to those three?”
