A single drop of his blood contained an extremely complicated structure and a lot of astral vortices.

Only such a special structure could accommodate abundant power, giving Su Ping an output that exceeded his level.

Su Ping was soaked in energy; his body was soon saturated. It was then that he felt that all the power in his body was being concentrated and turned into a core. The core grew larger and larger, bursting with terrifying power.

“I’ve sealed the additional power in your body for now. Whenever you need it, just extract it from the core,” said the corpse.

“You’ve done me a great favor, senior. I don’t know how I can ever repay you.” Su Ping could tell the heaviness of that gift. He felt troubled after receiving such a favor in their first meeting.

!!

“You can repay me by living on.” The corpse chuckled rather casually.

“Senior, I wonder… How should I address you?” asked Su Ping, hoping to remember his name.

After a long silence, the corpse finally heaved a sigh and said, “I’ve already forgotten; it’s been such a long time. Being among the defeated soldiers, our names are not worth remembering.”

“Senior, although you’ve lost, your determination will carry on. I will slay the Heavens with your faith!” Su Ping was almost gnashing his teeth.

“Good, very good,” said the corpse in delight, “I will teach you my remaining battle skills too. Hopefully, they will inspire you a little bit.”

After that, Su Ping felt how a surge of memories entered his mind.

He seemed to have turned into the corpse, fighting in space and in deserts.

The corpse turned out to be a ferocious behemoth when he was alive. He fought everywhere and defeated countless existences.

Su Ping was focused, experiencing the corpse’s brutal way of fighting. Even though he had fought countless times in cultivation sites and had his own combat methods, it was very rewarding for him to experience the Ancestral God’s unusual way of fighting. It was a field he had yet to explore. The information was shedding new light on how he should fight in the future.

In the end, Su Ping had a sudden glimpse of one member of the Heavens. The corpse he had turned into was fighting that alien fiercely.

Countless universes were exploding, launching terrifying powers all over.

Is this the Ancestral God’s way of fighting?

Su Ping was shocked and speechless. That first-hand experience was too shocking; it overturned his understanding of how to battle. They were making such good use of universe power that he felt like a baby.

At that moment—the member of the Heavens suddenly changed his expression and paused.

Su Ping’s heart was pounding. He felt crept out when the member of the Heavens stared at him, as if the creature wasn’t staring at the corpse, but at him personally!

The gaze only barely lasted half a second. Su Ping was suddenly removed from the scene and returned to the dark universe.

“Young friend, you should leave. The member of the Heavens whom I fought back then seems to have realized I passed the inheritance.” The corpse’s thought was relayed with obvious fatigue.

Su Ping narrowed his eyes. Is it true?

The member of the Heavens only appeared in the corpse’s memories… That was enough to notice me?

Su Ping felt mind blown, feeling the horror of the Ancestral Gods again.

“Go,” the corpse urged.

Su Ping gritted his teeth. “Senior, I’ll forever remember your favor!”

Su Ping then rushed back to his store. He then saw how the remaining Heavenly Fire on the body surged and chose to swallow it.

The corpse was burning, cracking like wood. It had been unaffected earlier on, but at the moment it was distorting. The bones on the corpse’s surface seemed to be falling apart.

“Mr. Su.”

Everyone approached him as he made it back to the store, wanting to ask questions.

Su Ping didn’t have the time to answer. He looked at the corpse thoughtfully and was about to tear the universe open, but then a power which came from the corpse enveloped the planet where the store was and broke the universal barrier. Then, Su Ping and the others saw nothing but darkness; they seemed to have been thrown past the barrier at a high speed.

Su Ping knew that the fading expert had done it to help them leave faster. That could only mean that the member of the Heavens who had fought him could arrive at any moment.

Su Ping had originally planned to explore that universe, but considering the recent events, he could only resign himself to escape with a heavy heart. He wondered if he would run into any members of the Heavens as they made their getaway.

However, they soon discovered that they had reached an extremely strange region after crossing the barrier.

There were no other universes around, not even the one they had just entered.

Su Ping felt dazed for a moment, but then realized that the expert had somehow relocated them with some leftover power. Although he didn’t know where they were at the moment, it had to be somewhere extremely far from the corpse’s universe.

He quickly made his store move forward.

It was impossible for him to tell directions in the void. He could only pray he wasn’t moving towards the universe they had just left, or they would be handing themselves to the enemy.

“Brother Su?”

Chi Huo and the others also felt the unusualness of the situation. They looked at Su Ping with a mix of shock and suspicion, not knowing what happened.

Su Ping didn’t hold back, and briefly told them the conversation he held with the corpse.

All the Celestials were shocked to hear that the corpse had gifted him with a portion of his power. It was all too soon, receiving such a gift right after they left their universe.

They were clearly envious. But the situation also gave them a chill, since a member of the Heavens had almost noticed them, just from reviewing the corpse’s memories as he imparted his knowledge.

It’s impossible to look at them, even in memories?

Such nature was beyond their understanding. It was as if mortals weren’t allowed to utter names of the omnipotent gods!

“Even existences stronger than universe dominators have perished. Are the Heavens really that strong?” one of the Celestials mumbled, feeling that their faith was collapsing.

Their cultivation wasn’t as fast as Su Ping’s. Becoming universe dominators was already a remarkable achievement for them.

However, universe dominators were no different from ants when facing the Heavens.

Even Ancestral Gods had perished. Where would that leave those with universe dominator power?

Cultivation was useless. They felt at a loss.

The atmosphere was suffocating; the store was completely silent.

At that moment, a cold voice resounded, “Is this humanity’s resolve?”

Everyone turned to look. The speaker was Joanna.

“Your universe has been conquered and destroyed. Your fellow humans were killed. Being the pillars of humanity, you’re doing nothing except moan in despair?” Joanna’s eyes were as sharp as her voice.

Everybody changed their expression. Her words didn’t anger them, especially after having been crushed by her before. They only felt embarrassed after the truth was pointed out.

“You won’t try because you think it’s hopeless?”

Joanna’s words pierced into everybody’s hearts like sabers. “Don’t forget what’s on your shoulders and the many people who died for your sake! What’s the purpose of your life? To pursue the ultimate Great Dao? Or just to get by and live under someone else’s protection without any pride?

All their expressions changed. Chi Huo took a deep breath and said, “Miss Anna is right. Instead of thinking about those things, might as well consider first how to become universe dominators!”

He looked at the group and added, “Even if we’re nothing but farts in front of the Heavens, we must at least be disgusting enough for them!”

Shen Huang nodded. “Even moths dart towards the fire. We are Celestials who have been worshiped by billions of humans. We should be the backbone of humankind right now!”
