Chapter 836 444: I Shall Take the World as My Race!
"It's finally matured and completed for me."
Gu Shanhai looked at the dim fruit in his hand, intertwined with one hundred and thirty-nine patterns.
The Multi-Life Flower bore fruit, which turned into this Dao Fruit.
He immediately inserted it directly into his body and began to disassemble it with his own mana.
In an instant, a reaction akin to a chemical reaction began to occur within Gu Shanhai's body, starting fission.
His human skin shattered, transforming into a massive Fluorescent Giant.
"Luckily, I returned to the Navia Universe in advance." Gu Shanhai's Fluorescent Giant body was also expanding and growing in a circular direction.
He could feel a distinct sense of hunger within himself, but he quickly suppressed it.
Gu Shanhai was already very precise in his control, naturally not losing his senses due to hunger.
Before Gu Shanhai could begin to consume, the original Fluorescent Giant's body burst open, revealing his true nature as the essence of the world.
A vast ecological circle began to spread continuously and became more perfect.
A towering tree rose from the ground.
This was the Heaven-Reaching Construct Wood, transformed into the backbone of a world.
As Gu Shanhai became the world, the Heaven-Reaching Construct Wood also became complete accordingly.
He saw the gigantic Construct Wood hanging down a multitude of peculiar things.
Leaves, flowers, and fruits hung down.
Rare and exotic creatures like birds, beasts, and suspended dragons appeared, as Gu Shanhai was refining himself into a true ecological circle, rather than the previously demon-infested region of Gu Shanhai.
Gu Shanhai then waved a hand, making the heavens light and earth heavy, dividing the world.
With the Heaven-Reaching Construct Wood as a separator, heaven and earth quickly became distinct.
"The eighth breakthrough Divine Skill is done."
After the division of heaven and earth was successful, Gu Shanhai successfully completed his breakthrough and smoothly acquired the eighth breakthrough Divine Skill, which he named Heavenly Person Induction.
The breakthrough process was actually very simple. Gu Shanhai himself was a world embryo, and only needed to be completed. Though he wasn't very large, changing from an embryo to a newborn was a significant transformation, but it wasn't in size, it was in quality.
"It feels like being starved desperately."
Gu Shanhai had only initially evolved the world, using the Heaven-Reaching Construct Wood as a template. To truly evolve and grow, he would need a large amount of resources to supplement the nutrition.
Otherwise, without enough nutritional supplements, if Gu Shanhai forcibly evolved, he would only end up destroying himself.
Even this initial evolution had already consumed too much of him.
"Then let's start with the Cancer Universe."
If Gu Shanhai had eyes, they might have been red by now.
The massive body of the world began to condense again, transformed wholly into the form of a Fluorescent Giant, as an ecological circle would be too inconvenient to manage, and the humanoid Fluorescent Giant was more suitable.
The black stripes on the Fluorescent Giant's body were becoming increasingly sinister, while the mountain range on his back squirmed occasionally like a wandering dragon.
The plant tendrils on his face became more robust and extensive, already reaching his chest.
He reached out and forcibly tore open a void, pushing more than half of his body into the Cancer Universe.
Plant tendrils extended, dragging the Cancer Universe into Gu Shanhai's body by force.
After the universe was cut into pieces by the plant tendrils and the sharp claws, non-human chewing sounds echoed between the two worlds.
When the first bite of the world entered his body, Gu Shanhai could feel an overwhelming joy throughout his entire being.
"The taste... average." Gu Shanhai experienced the complex flavor as it entered, various rules and laws bursting in his mouth.
As nutrients arrived, Gu Shanhai's newly born world rapidly began to strengthen, with the already massive body of the Fluorescent Giant also expanding.
Gu Shanhai naturally wasn't just focused on eating; while eating, he also sorted through various Spirit Plants and Spiritual Beasts within himself, ultimately evolving them into his own world rules to gradually stabilize himself.
"If this keeps going, what about the last Peeping Dao Stage?" Gu Shanhai couldn't help but feel some concern.
Though the data on becoming stronger had been calculated, it had not exceeded the predictions, yet it had surpassed Gu Shanhai's expectations.
He half-expected he might have a chance to grow this strong, but it wasn't very likely.
"At this rate, the world won't be enough."
Gu Shanhai originally planned to devour the Cancer Universe, the Navia Universe, and a quarter of the Moon Star Universe. The Moon Star Universe was a coupled world, equivalent to two worlds. Initially, he planned to consume half, which was a quarter after coupling.
Now, however, it was out of Gu Shanhai's control; it depended on when he would feel full.
Originally, this was meant as a foundation for the Ascendancy Empire, but only if it didn't affect him. Since it affected him, Gu Shanhai would just consume it; as for accountability, who would he be accountable to?
After all, there were no living people left.
The Intelligent Machines weren't humans, just a program and a bunch of machines.
Even if there were living people, if Gu Shanhai had to break a promise, he would. He never stuck to rules, especially when those rules didn't benefit him. With double standards and shamelessness, nothing was a problem.
"If it really doesn't work out, I might as well take some risks."
Because his growth data far exceeded expectations, if the prepared resources weren't sufficient, Gu Shanhai planned to consume the Xuandao Universe. As for whether this might draw out some terrifying dark lines or ancient beings, he couldn't worry too much.
