Chapter 917 - - 614 Primordial Tao Fruit

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Acting is acting, but the fighting is real.

Birmingham had pent-up frustration, while Duge wanted to test how far he was from the universe’s top combat power.

In the last world, Duge had dominated all directions and unified the Three Realms.

But he knew there was still a gap between him and the Daoist Ancestor.

In this world, there were even more formidable beings above the War God.

Such as those Innate God Spirits and the mysterious people who helped Kaska steal the Origin of Mankind.

The Origin of Mankind was a sacred relic of the Thorne Divine Tribe. Duge didn’t believe that simply opening a space channel and a few riff-raff could steal it; the difficulty was probably not far from stripping the Divine King of his underpants.

For the first five hours, Duge and Birmingham were evenly matched.

After five hours, Birmingham gradually began to fall under.

After all, he was merely a demi-god skilled in combat, whereas Duge genuinely possessed several types of Innate Divine Powers.

In space, Dark Divine Power and Bright Divine Power coexisted.

Dark Divine Power had corrosive, dulling, and other negative effects. Even though Birmingham had strong resistance, since Dark Divine Power was an Innate Divine Power, as the battle prolonged, it gradually seeped into Birmingham’s body, making his movements too slow to keep up with his battle consciousness.

Continuing this way, defeat was just a matter of time.

Birmingham noticed this, the more he fought, the more panic-stricken he became, and for a moment, he was somewhat relieved that he had made an agreement with Duge.

Otherwise, he would have gained nothing this time and his lifelong reputation might have been ruined here.

However, Duge was not satisfied with this fight.

Too slow.

Fighting a War God was so strenuous, what would he do when he faced those higher-ranked Innate Gods?

Besides, the War God Ship had not made a move yet.

If the War God Ship recklessly targeted Emperor Star for a full firepower cover, in the end, perhaps only he would survive. Losing the planet as a base, how easy would it be for him to find a second civilization in the vast universe?

Both his personal strength and his teammates’ strength were still too weak.

Fighting a War God-level, even if he couldn’t instantly kill, he should be able to resolve the battle within a few turns…

…

Eventually.

The battle between Duge and Birmingham ended in a draw.

In front of everyone, Birmingham used the preservation of Emperor Star as a reason to blackmail Duge into handing over the Origin of Mankind.

Duge chose to compromise and merged his ragtag army into the War God Ship.

Both parties were overjoyed, but in essence, each had his own frustrations.

…

The interior space of the War God Ship was enormous, as if a planet had been hollowed out. It was densely partitioned into many levels, each housing various types of warships.

Besides warriors, there were more labor-responsible intelligent robots.

They cultivated and bred inside the planet, providing top-notch services for the soldiers of the War God Ship.

One could say the War God Ship was a condensed world.

As long as the power was sufficient, it could travel in the universe for tens of thousands of years without any problems.

The mutants from Emperor Star, including Edward, who followed Duge onto the War God Ship, were astounded by its internal structure. These country bumpkins, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, marveled at each location they changed.

…

Richard Wood and others wanted to leave with Duge, but he rejected them.

However, Duge assured them that there would be no problems with the safety of Emperor Star. Once he gained real power, he would return to Emperor Star, help them take off, and let them focus on developing technology.

The leaders reluctantly bid farewell to their Supreme God and returned to Emperor Star.

Having witnessed what a real high-level civilization looked like, the leaders of Emperor Star were no longer content to just dominate a small indigenous planet. Each became determined to develop a space civilization as quickly as possible, hoping one day to truly enter the international stage and become a support to the Supreme God.

Duge negotiated a set of spaceship construction technology appropriate for the current level of Emperor Star from Birmingham, casually laying a sideline plan. With Edward and a group of mutants most suitable for space combat, he boarded the War God Ship.

For Duge, Emperor Star was his tutorial village, and his mission was to get accustomed to this world. Now that its mission was complete, the universe that lay ahead was his real stage.

…

The warriors of the Heavenly Gods Clan were unaware of the secret agreement between Birmingham and Duge.

But no one dared to treat a group from the barren land as prisoners.

Everyone maintained due respect for Duge. Not many could fight the War God to a standstill, and with Duge’s combat power, his position was surely to be above them in the future.

Duge was skilled at socializing and quickly got on well with the warriors aboard the War God Ship, cultivating his base of support.

Jannie didn’t care so much. She leisurely held a glass of wine, either enjoying the beauty of outer space or her gaze wandering among the attractive men and women of the Heavenly Gods Clan, as if looking for a mating target.

She was in a joyful mood.

Although her personal strength was not strong enough, she had already found the combat style that best suited her, and that was enough.

At least Duge wouldn’t abandon her.

Jannie occasionally saw Birmingham’s particularly conflicted gaze, but in front of so many people, it was not appropriate for him to discuss matters concerning Emperor Guard One with her.

Falling in love with a planet was not something to be proud of, but since leaving Emperor Star, Birmingham’s gaze had never left Emperor Guard One. Carter even secretly saved many images and data of Emperor Guard One.
