Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Annexing this world only increased his world’s evolutionary progress by five percent.

That was only about half of what the Cangzhou Realm had provided.

However, this was to be expected.

They were both worlds from the Deep Dark Zone,

so their origins far surpassed those in the Shallow Wave Zone and the Tidal Zone.

But even so, there were still differences in strength from one world to the next.

And the concentration of this world’s origin was far inferior to that of the Cangzhou Realm.

That explained the result.

...

「Time flew by.」

Hu Qi roamed the Deep Dark Zone.

With his current strength, he no longer needed to personally enter a world when he encountered one, as he had in the past.

He only had to cover it with his Twisted Light.

That was enough to forcibly distort the world’s own will.

This method increased his efficiency by an unknown, yet massive, degree.

From then on, whenever Hu Qi encountered a world, he would first hit it with a wave of Twisted Light and then swallow it whole.

In this way, he annexed three more worlds in succession.

Two of them were more or less the same as the Kamen World.

The last one was comparatively stronger.

All together, they raised his world’s evolutionary progress to 76%.

However, when he came across the fifth world, things changed.

...

At that moment, Hu Qi stood outside a world.

His gaze was fixed on the vortex-like realm.

The fluctuations it emanated were exceptionally powerful, perhaps even comparable to the Cangzhou Realm.

However, Hu Qi did not act immediately.

He had sensed the aura of a True God from within it.

At the same time,

as if sensing Hu Qi’s presence, a faint ripple spread through the void outside the world.

Immediately after, a figure stepped out of the ripple, standing firmly outside the World Membrane.

It was a strange figure clad in Golden Armor and holding a Glaive. It was tall and imposing, with two heads and four arms, giving it a particularly bizarre appearance.

The front head had a human face, with a cold and solemn, dignified expression.

The one on the back was a ferocious pig’s head, its tusks exposed and its eyes glinting with a vicious light.

The aura radiating from its body was vast and profound; it was clearly a Transformed Realm True God.

"I am Tianxin Zi! Lord of this realm. May I ask what business brings you here, Fellow Daoist?"

The strange being named Tianxin Zi’s gaze fell on Hu Qi, pausing for a moment.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

The language he spoke was one Hu Qi had never heard before, with strange syllables and a fluctuating tone.

But as a True God, Hu Qi only needed to perceive the other’s spiritual fluctuations to instantly understand the meaning of his words.

There was no language barrier.

Hearing this, Hu Qi’s eyes shifted slightly as understanding dawned on him.

’This world before me must be the Transformation Realm of this True God, Tianxin Zi.’

Other True Gods, unlike Hu Qi who possessed the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc, could not independently establish Reincarnation within their inner worlds.

They usually placed their unformed worlds in the Sea of Sumeru, using the Light of the Soul to nourish them and accelerate their evolution.

Under normal circumstances, until the Transformation Realm was successfully established, they had to remain inside their worlds, unable to leave or move about freely.

"So, it is Fellow Daoist Tianxin Zi."

Hu Qi smiled faintly, his tone calm.

"I was merely passing through and noticed this world’s unique aura, so I came to have a look.

Since a Fellow Daoist is already presiding here, I will not disturb you any further!"

As he spoke, he moved, turning to leave without any hesitation.

His actions were clean and decisive, not dragging on in the slightest.

Watching Hu Qi’s departing figure, the smile on Tianxin Zi’s face gradually faded, replaced by a deep wariness in his eyes.

Although Hu Qi’s attitude had been gentle and his words modest, Tianxin Zi had sensed a latent, dangerous aura from him.

’This guy is very strong...’

Tianxin Zi’s brow furrowed slightly.

Even though he was a Transformed Realm True God, he felt an intangible pressure in Hu Qi’s presence.

It was as if he would surely be defeated if they were to fight.

The feeling was extremely intense.

’Forget it! Whatever his purpose is, it’s fine as long as he doesn’t come looking for trouble with me...’

With this thought, Tianxin Zi’s figure gradually faded, eventually disappearing into the world behind him.

Outside the world, the green points of light rose and fell, and tranquility was restored once more.

After putting some distance between them, Hu Qi finally slowed down.

That Tianxin Zi was merely a True God of the same level as him.

If they had really fought, Hu Qi was confident he could have killed him.

However, he chose not to.

To him, the other party was, after all, a True God who had lived for an unknown length of time. There was no guarantee he didn’t have some tricks up his sleeve.

If he had a backer, killing him would likely attract unnecessary trouble.

The previous incident with the White King was still fresh in Hu Qi’s memory.

It really wasn’t worth it for a single world.

After all, there were plenty of worlds in the Sea of Sumeru.

「Time passed.」

After Hu Qi devoured the sixth world, he finally stopped.

He stopped devouring worlds and turned his Introspection to his Pocket World Space.

There,

the original four worlds, plus the six he had newly devoured, now made for a total of ten worlds in his Pocket World Space, each emitting a different light.

Of course, Zero Island couldn’t strictly be considered a complete world.

There were only nine that could truly be called worlds.

At this moment, the entire area of the Pocket World Space had once again more than doubled in size compared to before.

However, it had also reached its limit.

A feeling that it could not expand any further arose spontaneously.

Meanwhile, the light on the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc, located at the very top of the Pocket World Space, grew hazy and mysterious.

CLICK... CLACK... CLICK...

The gears emitted a rapid sound, their rotation speed having more than doubled.

As the instrument of Reincarnation meant to balance the Pocket World Space, the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc had gone from handling the initial three or four worlds to the current ten, and it was becoming somewhat overburdened.
