Chapter 838 445: Infiltrating the Enemy's Stronghold to Retire

"This life, it's truly comfortable~"

Gu Shanhai lay on the balcony basking in the sun, under photosynthesis, he felt like he was about to sprout.

Thankfully, he restrained this thought; otherwise, he really might sprout.

Now it's the third year after his breakthrough, and the world he resides in is the Xuandao Universe.

He devoured the Cancer Universe, Navia Universe, and two-thirds of the Moon Star Universe, and finally felt satiated.

Now he is naturally digesting his gains, otherwise, what is he doing here?

As for Didor, the guy was euthanized, the process was painless, and the protagonist's momentum was too low to save him even if one wanted to.

Now the Ascension Empire has started a conflict with the Xuandao Universe.

Ever since Gu Shanhai devoured two-thirds of the Moon Star Universe, the entire universe became precarious.

Unlike the Cancer Universe and Navia Universe's swallowing method, Gu Shanhai devoured the Moon Star Universe systematically from the inside out, leaving it hollow within, with only an outer shell remaining that won't hold on for long.

After the Ascension Empire was unbound and activated into life, the desire for survival emerged, with Gu Shanhai helping to open the path to the Xuandao Universe. The mechanized minds started fighting the Xuandao Universe, and both sides are now deeply embroiled.

Initially, the Ascension Empire was indeed at a disadvantage, but as the war broke out and due to the mechanized minds' inherent characteristics and reckless troop production, they quickly brought the battlefield to an evenly matched state.

After all, the Moon Star Universe is increasingly unstable and could collapse due to structural instability, so the Ascension Empire went mad, rushing into the Xuandao Universe with all their assets.

Believe it or not, they really squeezed in, albeit at a significant cost.

The mechanized minds later used the entire Moon Star Universe as bait and cover to accomplish the great migration.

Indeed, the present Moon Star Universe has fallen into the hands of the Xuandao Universe, but after acquiring it, the Xuandao Universe hasn't gained, instead it incurred a huge loss.

The entire Moon Star Universe had its potential exhausted by the Ascension Empire, making restoration virtually impossible.

Moreover, the universe's structure is inherently fragile, apt to collapse at any moment, it's as if they took over a bus that can't run and can't get rid of it.

This has disgusted the people of the Xuandao Universe.

Upon entering the Xuandao Universe, the Ascension Empire wisely refrained from large-scale conflicts with the Xuandao Alliance.

The Xuandao Alliance is the powerful force ruling the Xuandao Universe, akin to a federation.

The Xuandao Universe is the Xuandao Alliance's turf, and the Ascension Empire naturally lacks the strength to confront it, but they've managed to carve out a small territory and started strategic development, gradually infiltrating other universes controlled by the Xuandao Alliance, spreading like a tumor.

In facing the rogue tactics of the Ascension Empire, the Xuandao Alliance has actively countered, the results aren't ineffective, but just that the assets brought by the Ascension Empire are simply too substantial.

After all, they scavenged most of the remnants of the Moon Star Universe after Gu Shanhai's devouring; otherwise, how could they bounce back under the Xuandao Alliance's suppression.

As the creator of the Ascension Empire, Gu Shanhai is present on the ancestral star of the Xuandao Alliance and is not at all worried about being discovered.

He already possesses legal identity, having altered it via a page from the Time History Book.

Now it seems he can start researching some data on that page of the Time History Book, though it feels somewhat obscure.

So Gu Shanhai occasionally glances at it, his main focus now is quickly getting accustomed to his strength.

Leaping instantly to immense strength certainly feels exhilarating, but after the thrill comes numerous issues, especially this time his strength surge far exceeded original expectations, resulting in his skin becoming more fragile.

Previously, his skins were adaptable and transformable, now they seem somewhat ineffective.

Being able to maintain human form is already quite good; attempting to act is even harder.

Currently, once he uses more than a ten-thousandth of his core power, this skin would break, reverting to the form of the Fluorescent Giant.

Honestly, being able to maintain it has been shocking enough for Gu Shanhai himself, so he is now hastily improving, lest using force would mess up the world.

Gu Shanhai isn't very daring to act now, not because he's afraid of exposure of strength or skin breaking but mainly because he's now a whole world. Even if still developing, any casual actions could invoke the world's apprehension.

He must conceal himself well.

His situation is akin to a living person shrinking and entering inside another living body; the outcomes need no elaboration.

Moreover, Gu Shanhai's actions signify detriment to the world, once revealing himself as a world, it might think of devouring him.

Even though it might not happen, Gu Shanhai refuses to risk it, he wouldn't gamble his life on others' whims.

Being a world for the first time, Gu Shanhai has much to learn.

The best strategy is utilizing others to grow stronger.

That is by relying on other worlds to continuously enhance himself.

Therefore, the first step is to not reveal oneself, then start siphoning from other worlds.
