More powerful divine-level transcendent beings appeared.
Zheng Dong's advantage soon disappeared.
The elemental spirits released by Ling'er were the first to be eliminated.
Including the light and dark elemental spirits, none survived.
Following this, You You also suffered heavy damage, and the Necromancer Tower was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong's desire for strength grew even stronger.
In desperation, he broke through again, re-condensing the nascent form of his divine spark.
Unfortunately, he did not manage to condense a divine spark in the end.
Zheng Dong's consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
There was nothing around him, only endless loneliness.
Did I die?
Why is my consciousness still here?
He couldn't feel his body.
He couldn't feel his pets like You You and Ling'er either.
How could this be?
Perhaps I really am dead.
He was about to give up and drift into slumber.
Suddenly, memories from childhood to adulthood surged continuously.
"Time to get up, time to eat!"
...
A familiar voice awakened Zheng Dong once more.
No, I can't die yet!
Even if everything is gone, and only consciousness remains, I must find a way to become stronger.
In the endless darkness, Zheng Dong endured the loneliness and tried various methods. He tried every method he could think of, but he did not give up.
After countless efforts, Zheng Dong's consciousness gradually became stronger.
After all, he hadn't truly died.
His consciousness wouldn't dissipate.
As his consciousness grew stronger, his thinking speed also increased severalfold.
In other words, he had become smarter than before.
However, he still couldn't find a way to "resurrect" himself and become stronger using only his consciousness.
But this was enough for the Starry Sky Supreme.
Zheng Dong possessed a strong heart that constantly yearned for improvement, which was more important than any talent.
He believed that Zheng Dong, as long as he didn't encounter any accidents, would definitely grow stronger and stronger, even catching up to his footsteps.
Thus, the trial ended, and Zheng Dong's consciousness returned to reality as he slowly opened his eyes.
The previous experience replayed in his mind as if it were a dream.
He firmly remembered everything that had happened, as if he had experienced it in his past life.
He looked at the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme.
He wondered if he had passed the trial.
The projection of the Starry Sky Supreme also showed a rare smile.
"You surprise me greatly. I never thought that the one who would ultimately pass my trial would be a beast tamer!"
"You humans are inherently weak. Apart from being smart, you don't seem to have many other advantages.
The reason you stood out and passed the trial is because you have a heart that constantly yearns for strength. I hope you can maintain this.
No matter what setbacks you encounter, even death, as long as you persevere, you will eventually achieve what you desire."
Zheng Dong nodded.
He understood the meaning of the Starry Sky Supreme. After this trial, he also knew why he needed to cultivate continuously.
Only with absolute strength could one possess absolute freedom and protect everything one cherished.
Perhaps one day, he could truly traverse time and space to resurrect his parents.
"I don't have much power left in this timeline. From now on, I will assist you in your growth and impart the power I possess to you, hoping that you will surpass me one day!" the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme continued.
He did not intend to rush the process. Even if he were still alive, he would not help Zheng Dong condense his divine spark.
On the path of cultivation, many things required Zheng Dong to accomplish on his own.
Immediately after, Zheng Dong appeared in a strange space, Zero Degree Starry Sky.
This was the internal space of the Star Tree, where the cultivation speed was hundreds of times faster than outside.
Zheng Dong could cultivate here until the last bit of power from the Star Tree was exhausted.
Additionally, nine Star Fruits appeared before Zheng Dong.
These Star Fruits could help him comprehend the power of laws and assist him in condensing his divine spark.
"Cultivate quickly and digest the experience and insights gained in the Starlight Illusion. Your strength will advance further."
Zheng Dong recalled the events he experienced during the trial.
He had merged all his bloodline powers, re-condensed his divine spark multiple times, and modified his Underworld God Body into a Bloodline Divine Body.
Of course, it wasn't that his condensed Bloodline Divine Body was necessarily stronger than the Underworld God Body.
It was just that the Bloodline Divine Body was more suitable for him, allowing him to unleash greater power.
The Underworld God Body was the core of the inheritance of the Underworld Ghost King God. Zheng Dong had only cultivated it to the perfection of the minor accomplishment stage, far from reaching its peak.
Zheng Dong did not follow the old path of the Underworld Ghost King God. By cultivating the Bloodline Divine Body, he wanted to forge his own path.
He knew very well that true powerhouses all had their own unique skills and cultivation philosophies.
All inheritances could only be used as references and would not become the core of his cultivation.
The most fundamental aspects had to be his own.
Even if he obtained the inheritance of the Starry Sky Supreme, he would not blindly imitate it.
Recalling the entire cultivation process during the trial, Zheng Dong began to cultivate in the Zero Degree Starry Sky.
First, his goal was not to re-condense the nascent form of his divine spark, but to comprehend the various bloodlines within his body, merge them into one, and transform them into his own power.
With the experience from the previous trial, this fusion was obviously much smoother.
He tried continuously and finally, after three months, merged the three hundred and sixty-five bloodlines within his body into one.
However, this was not enough.
He needed to continue merging, to fuse them with his own bloodline, and to transform his bloodline.
His own human bloodline power was very fragile, and fusing it could only be done slowly, transforming it bit by bit.
He needed to use the nascent form of his divine spark, utilize the power of the Law of Balance to strengthen his own bloodline power, and then use the Law of Fusion to attempt the fusion.
After hundreds of failures, Zheng Dong finally completed the fusion.
And he completed his own transformation. His bone marrow began to turn dark gold, capable of continuously producing blood.
His blood could now be considered divine blood.
Although the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme had witnessed this scene during the trial, he was still surprised when Zheng Dong truly completed it.
From the divine blood condensed by Zheng Dong, he sensed the strong power of the Law of Destiny.
Destiny was the most unfathomable, and there had never been any divine-level transcendent beings who cultivated the Law of Destiny.
If one mastered destiny, their future achievements would likely not be lower than his.
With divine blood, Zheng Dong could maintain the state of the Underworld God Body and continue to improve it.
However, for Zheng Dong, it was more appropriate to transform the Underworld God Body at this moment.
He integrated his bloodline power into the Underworld God Body, attempting to transform it into a Bloodline Divine Body.
Phantoms of transcendent beings such as the Candle Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Undying Nether Phoenix appeared, surrounding him.
As the transformation deepened, patterns resembling tattoos of transcendent beings appeared on his body.
These patterns were lifelike, allowing him to unleash corresponding bloodline powers at any time.
In other words, without even using his divine spark,
He could manipulate the power of three hundred and sixty-five laws using only his own bloodline power.
At this moment, Zheng Dong resembled a golden giant covered in mysterious totems, radiating golden light.
Slowly, the golden light gradually dimmed, his skin turned dark gold, and the totem patterns faded and merged into his skin.
Only when Zheng Dong looked like an ordinary person did his transformation finally complete.
The Bloodline Divine Body had thus been preliminarily formed.
Next, it was time to re-condense the nascent form of his divine spark.
However, the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme intervened and imparted the power he possessed to Zheng Dong.
The Starry Sky Supreme, who mastered the starry sky, was a supreme god above the ruler.
The laws he cultivated were also primarily the Law of the Starry Sky.
What he imparted to Zheng Dong included not only his cultivation experience, comprehension of laws, and the Supreme Star God Body, but also many major events that occurred during the mythical era.
Vast amounts of information forcibly surged into Zheng Dong's memory.
It was like a divine enlightenment, and Zheng Dong could only try his best to maintain his consciousness, not to get lost in this information.
It lasted for over a minute, but for Zheng Dong, it was incredibly difficult, feeling like several months had passed.
Various information almost burst his head and drowned his consciousness.
Fortunately, it was all over.
"First, comprehend my power, and then attempt to re-condense the nascent form of your divine spark!"
Under the reminder of the Starry Sky Supreme's projection, he continued to cultivate.
The Starry Sky Supreme mastered thousands of laws, but all of them were centered around the Law of the Starry Sky.
If his mastery of laws were likened to a large tree, the Law of the Starry Sky would be the roots and trunk, while other laws were merely branches and leaves.
This way, the Starry Sky Supreme could easily use various laws, making the Law of the Starry Sky incredibly powerful.
This was very informative for Zheng Dong.
In addition, there was the Supreme Star God Body of the Starry Sky Supreme.
The complexity of the Supreme Star God Body far surpassed that of the Underworld God Body, and it was also stronger.
However, the projection of the Starry Sky Supreme did not help Zheng Dong construct the Supreme Star God Body.
Zheng Dong still had to rely on himself to master the Supreme Star God Body.
He continuously compared the Supreme Star God Body and the Underworld God Body.
The more he compared, the more astonished he became. The Supreme Star God Body was like a complex universe, with each organ transformed into a vast galaxy.
Therefore, the Supreme Star God Body could unleash terrifying power, perhaps a single finger could suppress the Underworld God Body.
Of course, this was also the case; the Underworld Ghost King God was no match for the Starry Sky Supreme.
Through the memories of the Starry Sky Supreme's inheritance, Zheng Dong learned that even in the mythical era, there were only five supreme gods.
The Underworld Ghost King God was merely a ruler.
The Supreme Star God Body provided Zheng Dong with more reference information.
He could use this to further refine the Bloodline Divine Body.
He continuously comprehended the Supreme Star God Body until he understood all its aspects before attempting to perfect the Bloodline Divine Body.
Of course, this also took him a considerable amount of time.
Similar to how the Starry Sky Supreme treated his Supreme Star God Body as the universe and starry sky, Zheng Dong treated his bloodline body as three hundred and sixty-five worlds.
Each bloodline power derived a world within his body, extending into Zheng Dong's internal organs and acupoints.
After constructing the first layer of worlds, he continued to derive the second layer.
Just like in reality, worlds overlapped, giving birth to countless dimensional worlds.
Of course, Zheng Dong could not achieve this level of precision yet.
He could only select three hundred and sixty-five acupoints as the foundation for the derivation and development of his bloodline worlds.
As they continuously grew and intertwined, and various laws converged, more laws would also be derived.
By comprehending the Supreme Star God Body of the Starry Sky Supreme, Zheng Dong formulated the general direction for the Bloodline Divine Body.
In his future cultivation, he would continuously refine it.
As the Bloodline Divine Body was continuously perfected, the fluctuations of the Law of Destiny also became stronger.
Sensing the power of the Law of Destiny, Zheng Dong involuntarily sank into it and began to comprehend it.
The unpredictable Law of Destiny seemed to give Zheng Dong special treatment, actively revealing its mysterious veil.
Through continuous comprehension, Zheng Dong discovered that the Law of Destiny was the foundation of all laws.
It was like the protons that formed matter, giving rise to various laws.
Zheng Dong merged the three hundred and sixty-five bloodline powers into one, touching the Law of Destiny, and it manifested.
Zheng Dong was overjoyed.
This might be the greatest gain from his adventure, even surpassing the inheritance of the Starry Sky Supreme.
He decided to re-condense the nascent form of his divine spark with the Law of Destiny as the core.
Zheng Dong continuously comprehended and attempted to condense the nascent form of his divine spark.
The original nascent form of his divine spark began to collapse, and the new nascent form of his divine spark, with the Law of Destiny as its core, while the Law of Balance, the Law of the Starry Sky, the Law of Time, the Law of Space, and other laws he understood, were merely auxiliary.
Behold, the nascent form of his divine spark slowly appeared, floating between his eyebrows.
From afar, it resembled a galaxy, radiating myriad lights.
At the core was a purple sun, symbolizing the Law of Destiny.
Following that were symbols of the Law of Balance, the Law of Time, and the Law of Space.
After that came the Law of Metal, the Law of Wood, and so on.
Unfortunately, after a short while, the nascent form of his divine spark became unstable and collapsed again.
This was also normal.
Zheng Dong knew that he couldn't succeed in condensing it in one attempt.
He began to use the Star Fruits left by the Starry Sky Supreme.
With the power of the Star Fruits, he could try repeatedly.
After hundreds or thousands of attempts, the nascent form of his divine spark finally stabilized completely.
Moreover, he had a feeling that it was about to condense into a physical form.
If it took shape, he would have condensed his divine spark and become a lower god.
However, he had consumed all the Star Fruits.
He would have to find a way to get more.
As the nascent form of his divine spark took shape again, Zheng Dong felt that he had become somewhat different.
He could now manipulate various laws through the nascent form of his divine spark as easily as drinking water.
Before, it had been very difficult.
It felt like an old ox pulling a cart.
The quality of a divine spark not only represented future growth potential but also directly affected strength.
Zheng Dong felt that even facing a transcendent being whose growth level had reached that of a middle god, he could now handle it with ease.
The projection of the Starry Sky Supreme sensed Zheng Dong's change and felt a touch of envy.
If he had mastered the Law of Destiny, he probably wouldn't have perished.
He looked at Zheng Dong and said:
"Very good. You always manage to surprise people.
Cultivate well. Mastering the Law of Destiny is bound to make you a powerhouse.
However, you must still be careful and maintain a sense of reverence at all times. Even I perished!"
Zheng Dong also wanted to know how the Starry Sky Supreme had perished, but unfortunately, with his current strength, he couldn't access the relevant memories.
The Starry Sky Supreme had left him many memories, but they were all sealed. Knowing too much too early, without sufficient strength, would be dangerous for Zheng Dong.
