However, the various inherent multiplication factors of the National Day holiday have already piled up too high, so even a 0.1x increase per year seems insignificant and requires a long period of accumulation to be effective.

—If we remove the true essence and the external essence, Yun Shiyi's normal combat strength as a fourth-level being is actually only over 400,000 thorns, which is not even as good as Baili Zhenyan of the first level.

Now, with the dual essence multiplication zones complementing each other, even if he lies flat, his strength will increase by more than two million thorns every year!

[In the time that followed, you lived a carefree and leisurely life, observing the rise and fall of all living beings from the pinnacle of the Yuantian Realm.]

In 5007, you rebuilt the True Soul System.

This system initially involved fighting purely with "spiritual power," later using spiritual power to construct a "true soul" form, and finally evolving into a method of manifesting the laws of heaven and earth.

It's like... cultivating a "Supreme Battle Body."

The difference lies in the fact that the Supreme Battle Body in the "Zun Yuan" system is an external object; its presence or absence is irrelevant and does not affect future cultivation and leveling up.

Within the "True Soul System," this "Dharma Form" is a standard ability, much like Zun Yuan's supernatural powers and the ability to multitask with countless thoughts; it is the foundation of the system.

If the "Dharma Form" is destroyed, it will take a considerable amount of time to repair before further progress can be made.

[In 5011, you reached the second realm and were hesitating about what form of true soul to construct. The Beast God recommended its own race to you.]

The Black God Bear is a race that has been personally improved and optimized by the Beast God.

The original Beast God was just an ordinary black bear, its racial value insignificant, and its divine beast bloodline could not be extracted. It rose to power through other extraordinary systems.

However, it later evolved into a hybrid system of mythical beasts.

Furthermore, unwilling to accept its lowly origins, it continuously optimized its race, generation after generation, year after year... Now, the Black God Bear is undoubtedly a top-tier divine beast race!

For example, a pure-blooded Golden Crow has a combat power multiplier of 22, a pure-blooded True Dragon has a combat power multiplier of 20, and a pure-blooded Giant Kun has a combat power multiplier of 30 (but its mental power is only 1).

But now, the Black God Bear's combat power multiplier has reached 40 times!

The bear is stronger than the dragon, stronger than the phoenix!

Of course, just like there are many cultivation systems, some dragon species might have a 50x multiplication factor, while others might have an 80x multiplication factor. However, the Yuan Tian Realm doesn't have those high-level dragons and phoenixes.

[Furthermore, since the bloodlines of divine beasts can be optimized, they can also degrade. For example, the bloodlines of true dragons from 50 billion years ago had a multiplier of 50, but it was discovered that this made reproduction and cultivation too difficult.]

[It's better to make it slightly weaker, allowing the bloodline strength to strike the optimal balance between power and ease of upgrades.]

The Black God Bears have remained strong to this extent only because they have a Beast God behind them. No matter how difficult or slow their growth is, or how low their birth rate is, even if there is a break in the line of geniuses, their race will not decline.

This is also why the Beast God recommended that you construct the "Black God Bear" True Soul.

[Others can build a giant Kun with 100 resources and 30 combat power, while you use some resources to build a Black God Bear with 40 combat power seems like a stupid and wasteful mistake.]

The problem is, you have plenty of money, so why not build the best?

"Because it's ugly." You spoke coldly, disregarding whether these words would hurt the young, 12.5 billion-year-old heart of your adopted son.

[Black God Bear, that's a pretty imposing name.]

But this appearance—a body covered in messy black fur, half bear and half gorilla—is truly ugly.

[You don't lack that kind of strength at all. In the final stage of cultivating the True Soul System, no matter how powerful you were before, the quality of your Dao Seal is the same. Only the techniques you retain and your coolness are things you can live a lifetime with!]

[The Great Dao ultimately leads to Oneness. For someone like you who focuses on the Six Realms, a slight lead in minor realms in the early stages is not important.]

You have condensed a mech.

In 5035, seven more realms were born.

[It was Guts who collected all the military seals and became an "alternative true god."]

[Yuan Tiandi's god-making plan has succeeded, even more successfully than they anticipated—what they thought were false gods have actually become true gods!]

[However, they were not the ones who succeeded; what was ultimately achieved was an individual with self-awareness, not the ultimate artificial seventh realm "Giant Warrior" they envisioned.]

[Guts...sees all realms!]

A resilient, fierce, and iron-willed man!

He was momentarily bewildered.

He grew up in a small world on the Azure Demon Land. His best friend was transformed into a demon by the Thorn Demon King's experiments, and he endured countless pains inflicted upon him by the demons.

Therefore, he vowed to destroy the demon race.

Later, he was transformed into a demon by the Demon Egg and forced to bear the mission of breaking the fate of the soldier race and overthrowing the "Creator" race.

That Thorn Demon King, the culprit who brought disaster and despair to the small world where he was born, also protected him as he grew up over the years, and finally drew away a powerful enemy for him, dying with his blood energy soaring into the sky billions of miles away...

It was too complicated; he didn't want to think about it anymore. He only knew that he had only one goal from now on: to break free from the destiny imposed on him by the "Creator," and then to destroy the demon race.

Now, he's done all of this.

About two hundred years ago, he wreaked havoc in the Abyss Palace, and by chance, took the place of the Giant God Soldier, absorbing tens of thousands of weapon seals. Afterwards, with the power of trillions of thorns, he swept through the entire Yuantian Realm, truly and utterly erasing the "Demon Race" from this world!

Today, he successfully excavated the last "Demon Emperor" from the earth's core and fused it with the final weapon seal; this is the day he becomes a god.

Having accomplished all his goals and eliminated all his major enemies, he was left bewildered, unsure of where to go from here.

[Until the holy light emanated, Guts, maintaining his mortal instincts, looked at you against the light, subconsciously squinting.]

You extend your right hand to him, like a kind yet dignified father.

"Would you like to be my son?"

Guts laughed angrily, raising his fist to give this ignorant fool a good beating.

Then, seven immortals descended from all four directions.

[Seven transcendent beings of the same realm and scale as him...]

A hand, thicker and stronger than his, reached out from behind and gripped the wrist of his raised fist.

The enormous hand was so powerful that Gus's struggles even tore through space itself. The two were locked in a stalemate in the shattered void, and even a wisp of their aura that escaped onto the ground would be enough to wipe out a sixth-realm power, including its sixth-realm members.
