Young Master Cyrus Qi had originally planned to gather some of the diamond-shaped crystals, but hearing this, he immediately gave up the idea and laughed: "Cult Master Quinn, your divine sense is strong enough. If you use this artifact to create things from the void, how powerful would the Tu Bo you make be? Could it surpass you?"
Quinn Shepherd shook his head, picked up the little Tu Bo he had just created from the void, and placed it in his palm. "It doesn't have much power. It doesn't even have a soul—just a dazed little creature that only looks fierce."
Young Master Cyrus Qi poked the little Tu Bo with a finger and said, "Then these crystals are useless. The life you create is so much weaker than you, not even a proper divine arts user, and it's soulless and can't cultivate. What's the point of all this?"
His finger pressed against the little Tu Bo, and the small creature was quite ferocious—clinging to his finger, trying to toss him, but it was simply too weak and couldn't budge him at all, so it just roared angrily again and again.
Quinn Shepherd set the little Tu Bo down and said, "If my guess is right, the Pre-Historic Creators must have been extraordinary in terms of divine sense. Their divine sense had to be unimaginably strong, with minds and consciousness far beyond normal. Look, in the reliefs, each of them can use the crystals to create things from the void, but I had to cultivate the Threefold Undying Mind before I could do this. That means each of them had divine sense no weaker than mine!"
Young Master Cyrus Qi didn't think anything was wrong with this, but Dragon-Qilin and Annie understood what Quinn meant.
Quinn Shepherd's Threefold Undying Mind was already terrifyingly strong. After he figured out the techniques of Ian Shawking—the so-called number one divine sense expert in Heavenly Court—he could create illusions and dreams to trap Ian Shawking!
Quinn's divine sense might not be as deep as Ian Shawking's, but its quality far surpassed his.
If every Pre-Historic Creator had divine sense no weaker than his, how terrifying would that be?
Quinn pointed at the Pre-Historic Creators in the reliefs and continued: "And what's even stranger is that their bodies were much larger than before. I think they used void creation to strengthen their flesh."
Dragon-Qilin was puzzled and asked, "Cult Master, how do you use void creation to strengthen your own flesh?"
"By using these crystals and your powerful divine sense to remodel your body. It's no harder than creating a little Tu Bo."
Quinn Shepherd explained, "Earlier in the Blood-Rust Belt, we saw a skull as huge as a planet—its body must have been even bigger. Who could grow so large? It must have been the Pre-Historic Creators using these crystals to remodel their bodies, making themselves bigger and bigger."
He paused, then returned to the earlier reliefs and said, "The first giant to obtain a crystal—his body became taller and stronger than the others. This shows that using creation arts to enhance the flesh is possible. And there's an even more crucial point: they were immortals, you could even call them gods!"
Young Master Cyrus Qi frowned deeply.
Quinn Shepherd's expression grew serious. He said solemnly, "If you cultivate creation arts to a certain level, you can live forever—your flesh will never perish. Even if you're just a little divine arts user at the Spirit Embryo realm, as long as you master creation arts, you too can live as long as a god, undying and immortal! These Pre-Historic Creators were probably a whole race of undying gods!"
He felt this deeply, because he was that kind of person himself.
For most divine arts users, a god is someone whose Primordial Spirit has reached the Heaven Palace realm—immortal, with vast power and boundless abilities.
But for someone like Quinn Shepherd, the ordinary definition of a god is just a joke.
First of all, the realms themselves were created by the Seven Heavenly Venerables—and Quinn Shepherd helped establish those realms.
At the start of the Dragon-Han era, Quinn Shepherd replaced Heaven-Guide Venerable to teach the masses the method of becoming gods. Together with Vast-Sky Venerable, he established the seven divine realms from South Heaven Gate to Heavenly Court, known as the Seven Heaven Palace realms.
Later, Quinn Shepherd, Victor Bloom, and other Everpeace geniuses repeatedly broke through the boundaries of the realms, merging the Seven Divine Treasuries into a single realm.
Quinn Shepherd even reopened the Spirit Embryo Treasury and reshaped the soul.
Ordinary people revere the realms, cultivating within their constraints and following every rule step by step.
But geniuses create new realms, breaking free from those constraints.
They are the creators of realms.
Young Master Cyrus Qi looked at the figures in the reliefs and shook his head. "Even if they were immortal, it doesn't mean much. Their bodies were strong, but they knew nothing of the Great Dao or divine arts. This creation method, aside from making you big and immortal, is actually not very useful. What it creates is just too weak."
Quinn Shepherd said, "But what if countless Pre-Historic Creators all activated their undying divine sense and imagined the same thing together?"
Young Master Cyrus Qi was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered the altar outside, and the bones around it. He exclaimed, "You mean, the Heaven Duke who attacked us was something they created with void creation?"
Quinn Shepherd walked forward to look at other reliefs and said, "The bones around the altar were actually the priests among the Pre-Historic Creators. They gathered everyone's divine sense, amplified it with these crystals, and used it to create a Heaven Duke under their control."
Young Master Cyrus Qi shook his head, feeling truly shocked. If tens of thousands of Pre-Historic Creators imagined the same powerful creature together, how strong would the being they created be?
And what if even more Pre-Historic Creators joined forces?
Wouldn't the creatures they created be even stronger?
Is there a limit to such overwhelming power?
Suddenly, Young Master Cyrus Qi burst out laughing. He said loudly, "Even if they can create a Heaven Duke with void creation, it's still not as good as a real Heaven Duke! The true Heaven Duke is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, the Lord of Profound Capital, chief of all true gods!"
Quinn Shepherd stood before another relief and said, "Look here."
Young Master Cyrus Qi looked at the relief. In it, Pre-Historic Creators with crystals on their foreheads created beings far stronger than themselves, sending these creatures to fight and slaughter other races of Pre-Historic Creators.
He saw another relief: the leader of the Pre-Historic Creators stood within an altar, holding a golden scepter, arms outstretched, face lifted to the sky.
Around the altar, the other Creators circled, performing a ritual to empower this leader even further.
