said that he was late, but Joshua couldn't discuss the importance of punctuality with a world will that regarded fifteen hundred years ago as 'not long ago', after all, it might take half a month for the other party to gather the will alone, so he didn't continue, but shrugged his shoulders and changed to another topic: "Xing, you said that because you want to prepare a reward, you want me to wait for a while before leaving, and now come to me, that is, are you ready?" ”

Soon after Joshua defeated the mother beast and incinerated it in the giant firestorm of Neptune, the ruling will from the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground began to prepare to teleport him and Nostradamus back to Mycrof, this originally almost half-destroyed sage artificial intelligence received Joshua's remaining 'psionic ascension' psionic energy, repaired a lot of soul injuries that could not heal itself when lacking energy, and has 27% of its heyday strength, and is still rising.

But just as the Will of Domination was about to penetrate the world barrier and use multi-quadrant teleportation to send the warriors and the others back, the Steel Python 'Star' appeared and stopped the group. There is no doubt that even if the Will to Domination regains some of its strength, it is far from being an opponent of the Will of the World.

This steel python, which needs a small light as a condensation point to temporarily have a clear self, has split itself by imitating the structure of the light ball during this time, creating a will aggregate that can act as a condensation point, and it took the initiative to appear and said to Joshua that this time the warrior crossed the border to help its people, which made it grateful, so it planned to give everyone a good reward, but because the time was too hasty, it needed Joshua and the others to wait for a while. In addition, the Steel Python also vaguely expressed that he hoped that Joshua could stay in its world for a long time and pass on the inheritance of the so-called 'transcendent way' as much as possible, which may make up for the biggest shortcomings of many civilizations like the Atrium people, so that they will not be without the power to resist when facing super life individuals.

For this, Joshua didn't mind things like spreading inheritance, after all, the Star World was too far away from the McCrove World, and there was no competition at all, and even if there were, it would be difficult for the Atrium people to catch up in a short period of time...... What's more, it's really touching to accept one race as an apprentice at a time.

But in the end, this plan still came to naught: first, the free energy of the world of the stars is very different from the power of steel and the world of Mycrof, and the original cultivation method needs to be modified on a large scale before it can be used, and second, the people of the Atrium are still plant life after all, and they are not essentially the same life form as the Microf humans as mammals.

With Joshua's background, it is not difficult to modify a set of cultivation methods suitable for the people of the Atrium, but it takes a lot of time to deduce and verify, and he is in a hurry to go home - when he was exploring the half-plane, the two legendary powerhouses of the empire disappeared mysteriously, God knows how Israel felt after knowing the news, the warrior estimated that the emperor must have been very uncomfortable these days, and if he didn't go back, he was worried that the situation would change and what kind of mess would happen.

But even so, Joshua still modified a set of the most basic methods for exercising vitality for plant life in less than ten days, he borrowed some knowledge about druid seedlings, and expounded the essence of vitality from the perspective of a legendary powerhouse, as long as this set of cultivation methods is practiced, the comprehensive physical fitness and spiritual energy growth rate of the atrium people will be significantly improved, the only drawback is that the speed of progress is too slow, It would take nearly two hundred years to go from the most basic black iron to the silver high level, which is ten times that of ordinary people in the Microf Continent, and it is even more difficult to advance to the golden realm, I am afraid that the number of naturally awakened Omega psionics will be more than the gold-level atrium people who may be born.

Fifty years to start, a hundred years to start, two hundred years to achieve results, this kind of exercise is a long-lived atrium people can use, in addition to being very stable, almost impossible to make mistakes, Joshua temporarily modified this practice exercise has no advantages, but even so, those atrium experts are still like a treasure, a thousand thanks from the hands of the warriors to take over the original manuscript of this set of cultivation methods - after all, slow is one thing, whether there is another thing, the real qualitative change is never one to hundred, but from zero to one.

"That's true."

Entangled in the Milky Way, the steel python on the dome of the starry sea above its head nodded slowly, it looked at Joshua with a soft gaze: "Whether it is saving my people, or awakening my will, or learning how to unite myself, it is enough for me to willingly pay any price to thank you." ”

Before he finished speaking, with a silver brilliance like a star flashing in front of Joshua's body, three treasures that were wrapped in a circular energy bubble and could not see the true form appeared in front of the warrior, and the Steel Python Star said concisely: "This is what you deserve." ”

Joshua is not pretentious, he crossed half of the multiverse to the Star World to fight with the evil god clan, saved a civilization and a race, and was at ease no matter what he was paid, so he directly reached out and touched the first energy bubble. The moment Joshua touched it, the energy bubble turned into nothingness, allowing the contents wrapped in it to fall into the warrior's hands.

"Huh?"

The first reward made Joshua sigh softly, because what he was holding was a mass of energy cores that had been shrunk by some strange method - according to the familiar energy reaction and operation method, this was actually a purified female beast-level energy core! Seeing Joshua's surprised expression, Xing nodded slightly, and said, "Although those chaotic creatures are the source of destruction, they do have great power, I know that you want to explore the operation method of the mother beast's energy core, but you destroyed them all because of the battle...... So I used my power to copy a miniature version of the Mother Beast Energy Core, I hope it will help you. ”

Certainly helps. Joshua put away the energy core in his hand, which was only half the size of his fist, and his face was happy. Even if the structure and operation of the mother beast's energy core will be of great help to the optimization of his Melting Heart Furnace, if the energy contained in this core is directly released, it will be enough for him to temporarily enter the amplification state of 'Psionic Ascension', which is a very powerful hole card for a legendary powerhouse, and it is enough to turn the tables in one fell swoop in a key battle.

Holding this bath in his arms, Joshua opened a second bubble of energy, and a silver, misty 'shard of steel' hovered over his chest as if it had no weight.

Just like the world of Karlis and Ilgena, Star, like his own kind, divided a portion of his power and gave it to Joshua. The warrior reached out and held the shard of steel in the palm of his hand, and in an instant, strings of characters about the system flashed before his eyes, but even without the system, Joshua knew what the shard was for.

Compared with the previous two pieces of the power that can grasp natural phenomena and make inanimate matter give birth to life, the power given by the star this time is related to spiritual and spiritual energy, holding this steel fragment, even ordinary people can have abilities including mind reading, hypnosis, memory tampering, autosuggestion and universal literacy, even if it is a creature from another world, the holder can also communicate with each other through spiritual language. In addition, if the wielder does not have an Awakened Psionic Power, they will be able to Awaken the Psionic Energy after obtaining the Steel Fragment.

It is indeed a very powerful ability, but it doesn't mean much to Joshua, he can see through a person's thoughts just by observing muscle contractions, heartbeat amplitude and hormone secretion, mind reading is completely unnecessary, and hypnosis and memory tampering can only be used on ordinary people who don't have extraordinary powers, but for ordinary people, instead of using this kind of sideshow, it is better to use his fists directly for physical persuasion - at least ten times faster, and there is no need to worry about backlash.

So after Joshua put this fragment away, he was already ready to use it as dog food to feed Xiaoguang, the last time the light ball ate a piece of steel fragments, he learned the Void Creation, although the current form of manifestation is only water spraying, but who knows what abilities can be obtained after eating this steel fragment this time? He was looking forward to it.

As for the waste - the shards of steel were non-existent to everyone else anyway, except for Hikari and himself. Almost everyone could not sense its existence, and Joshua had a hunch that the small light, which was the prototype of the world's will, would have great benefits after absorbing the steel fragments from other worlds, and for now, it was just that there was no obvious return for the time being because it was still in the accumulation period, but the warrior had patience to wait.

The third reward was a bit upright and simple compared to the previous two, after Joshua opened the third energy bubble, he felt an invisible but quintessential steel power gushing out of it, and then submerged into his body - in this short moment, he found that the steel power of his body had directly increased by ten percent, and now it had reached twenty-seven percent, more than a quarter! Although it seems to be only a meagre ten percent of the assimilation progress, for the legendary powerhouse, this is at least a penance time calculated in ten years, and if you are unlucky, decades are possible.

After all, for the legendary powerhouse, the progress at the beginning of the advancement may be a little faster, but the further back, the more difficult it is to sublimate the life form, even the genius Pope Eagle and Emperor Israel have spent a long time in this step.

Because of the rapid increase in the assimilation degree of the power of steel, Qiao Xiu immediately felt that his body was sinking, and his weight had increased by at least one-third - because of the characteristics of the power of steel, the warrior could not experience the increase in combat effectiveness brought by the power of steel for the time being, and the only more intuitive feeling was the sudden increase in his own mass, and Joshua was even a little suspicious now, some ancient dragons might not be as heavy as him, because he even felt the space around him because of the slight distortion of his weight.

"This is the origin power that I deliberately cut out from my body, it is the purest steel power without the slightest impurity."

Steelpython looked like it was satisfied with its reward, and it wriggled its massive head and said, "You have reached a bottom beyond the reach of natural evolution in terms of individual life evolution, and I can only help you speed up your progress in this way, but at most that's the end of it." ”

Joshua nodded silently, Xing was indeed not wrong, in fact, this sudden increase of ten percent assimilation progress was even a bit beyond his control, and the current warrior couldn't even speak, but frowned, trying his best to control his body and adjust the concentration balance of the steel power in his body. After a long while, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his tense body, soothed his limbs and said, "Roughly adjusted...... I almost made a fool of myself. ”

"I've been paid."

Looking at Joshua, the huge steel python rolled its body, as if the huge body like the galaxy was hovering under the dome of the Star Sea, and it said softly in a light tone: "Although there is some reluctance, the time of parting is coming, and there will be a day of meeting in the future, the descendant from the land of the Sage, I hope that by then, you have grown into a reinforcement that even the world can rely on." ”

The Steel Python Star is indeed a person who doesn't like nonsense and acts decisively, after giving the agreed reward and expressing its gratitude to Joshua, it is simply ready to send Joshua out of the inner side of the world, so that the ruling will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field will pick up the warriors and his party, after all, its body is still in every corner of the Star World to promote the news of the imminent war, and soon the Star World will fall into a grand war that will sweep countless galaxies, and compared to that incident, everything seems insignificant.

But this time, it was Joshua's turn to open his mouth to keep the other party.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Stopping the steel python who was about to leave, the warrior pressed the palm of his right hand to his chest when the other party turned his head, and in the next second, a silver ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand, and then was raised. Joshua showed the ball of light in his hand to the surprised star, and said slowly: "I think, he is your people, although I don't know why he was able to enter my spiritual space, but I feel that I should return the soul of this brave man to you." ”

At this time, what was held in the palm of Joshua's hand was the old atrium man Alzera, who used his life to provide the warriors and others with the news of being surrounded on the battlefield of the mother beast, and the soul of the former Omega psyker entered Joshua's soul abyss for unknown reasons after delivering the news, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, it was time to send the brave man back to his homeland, and Joshua believed that Fullmetal Python was absolutely capable of sending this fragile mass back to the Atrium Man's home planet, allowing him to enter the mother tree and reunite with thousands of his compatriots.

“…… Joshua, are you serious? ”

But for some reason, the Steel Python Star did not directly take over this group of souls, and the will of the world clearly expressed doubts and unhappiness, and it said with some incomprehension: "Do you know what you are giving up?" ”

But Joshua nodded and said calmly: "Although it is incomplete, I can guess a little, after all, in the world I am in, 'God' really exists." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and shook his head: "Although it is just a coincidence, the steps of the people of the Atrium have not been wrong at all - new gods, shrines, monuments, spreading doctrines, this set is simply a perfect foreshadowing. Coupled with the soul that was inexplicably sucked into my mental space, I can guess even if I guess, not to mention that I have personally talked to several gods and know the special features of gods. ”

"Are you going to pass up this opportunity?" The Cybora gave up the idea of leaving, it turned and looked at Joshua again, his eyes full of disbelief: "You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you want to ......"

"I know." Joshua interrupted the other party's words, and he said in a clear voice: "If I want, I can immediately become the god of the Atrium people, I only need to spend dozens or hundreds of years to accumulate faith, learn how to use it to alleviate the erosion of divinity, maybe I can get enough power to kill the Void Mother Beast in an instant." ”

"Then you still ......"

"I don't want to."

Joshua didn't let the steel python finish his words, he looked directly at the pair of huge vertical pupils that seemed to reflect thousands of stars, and his tone did not slow down at all: "I have no intention of becoming a god of the atrium people, and I don't want to be led by others, if one day, I want to become a god, then I also take the initiative to establish a sect and promote my faith, instead of pretending to be someone else's hand, I may simply create a race to promote my faith." ”

Speaking of which, Joshua recalled the Void Mother Beast, and the memory it had engraved in its genetic sequence, and the warrior seemed to see the other party's mother, the evil god who devoured the entire ecosystem and swallowed the world into its belly. He laughed, the corners of his mouth grinning, and his eyes fiery, as if something was burning.

"What's more, who knows that after dozens or hundreds of years, I who has not become a god will be stronger than me who has become a god?"
