Wang Xiaohai appeared in a study room with bookshelves surrounding the walls.
A sickly old man sat at a small red sandalwood desk in the room, upon which lay several strange instruments. He coughed incessantly and looked as if he might die at any moment.
"You are here. Are you the successor selected by the system?" The old man shook hands with Wang Xiaohai and motioned Wang Xiaohai to sit opposite him.
"Didn't you watch the entire screening?" Wang Xiaohai sat on the chair and asked curiously.
"The system didn't let me watch the entire process; it only informed me of progress when appropriate," the old man replied. "Perhaps it was worried that I would interfere with the selection process based on my personal preferences, affecting fairness. If I did interfere, I wouldn't allow a young angel like you to become the successor. I prefer older, more mature angels."
"Isn't this screened according to your requirements?" Wang Xiaohai was a little surprised.
"Not really. In fact, I only have secondary command authority over the system. It turns out there's a higher-priority program running that even I can't control." The old True God sighed and looked out the window at the boundless starry sky. "True God is a power, but also a responsibility."
"Responsibility?" Wang Xiaohai was a little surprised. "I thought there was no price to pay."
"Nothing in this world can be done without paying a price, but the price of becoming a true god in the star field is also huge. You may need to stay in the star field of God for the rest of your life." said the old true god.
"Why?" Wang Xiaohai asked, "Can you explain it?"
"It's okay to tell you, since you're already recognized by the system as the True God's successor." The True God elder looked directly at Wang Xiaohai. "Every galaxy with a population of over one trillion produces a Life Crystal at its center. If you remove it, it takes 50 million years to regenerate. This star field can produce over 100 million Life Crystals in 50 million years. The energy of 100 million Life Crystals can be synthesized into a True God Crystal. Using this True God Crystal, you can advance from a Sub-God to a True God."
"Life Crystal? True God Crystal?" Wang Xiaohai couldn't help but interrupt, "What does this have to do with leaving the Star Region of God?"
"Because the True God Crystal is synthesized from the Life Crystals within most of the galaxies in the star field, it possesses a kind of protective power. This power will also exist within you after you become a True God, greatly increasing your strength. However, you can only gain this power by staying within the star field. After leaving the star field, your divine power will gradually weaken or even disappear. This is why I say that becoming a True God is like entering a cage." The old man said, "Actually, this is nothing. The star field is so vast that you might not be able to walk through it in a hundred billion years. The Life Crystal contains the power of life, and the same is true after synthesizing the True God Crystal, which can increase your lifespan from tens of millions to a hundred million. Our enemies now include not only the neighboring demons, but also the Demon God Daga, who is in his prime and has infinite power. I am no match for him. In addition, the mysterious Lockhart Protoss is also looking for an opportunity to invade."
"The Lockhart Protoss, they are also gods, why do they attack us instead of attacking the demons?" Wang Xiaohai said in a lost voice. He seemed to have heard of it in his memory, but he couldn't remember it now.
"You and the Kong family are both angels, why do you hate each other?" the old man of true god asked back.
"What you mean is..." Wang Xiaohai seemed to understand.
"Putting aside racial prejudices, as long as interests exist, everyone can be a friend, and as long as interests do not coincide, everyone can be an enemy." Wisdom gleamed in the eyes of the True God old man.
"Listening to a word from God is better than reading for ten years." Wang Xiaohai said, "Your injuries look very serious. Why were you injured?" Wang Xiaohai actually knew how the true god was injured. He was injured by the demon god, but he couldn't let it slip. If the true god knew that he had been to Gu Bo's subsidiary space, and knew that the true god had gone to the demon clan to steal and was injured by the demon god, that would be bad!
"It was just an accident." The old True God clearly didn't want to talk about this topic. "The demons don't know that my life span is short, so you have to intensify your training—"
"Don't we have star-level weapons? We don't need to worry about the invasion of demons." Wang Xiaohai said.
"You've heard about it too?" The old True God was a little surprised. "But this matter has been circulating for countless years, and it can't be concealed. Our star field does have a super weapon called the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon, which can only be used by True Gods. In the past, in the battles between True Gods and Demon Gods, the only time a True God killed a Demon God was by using this weapon, so it has become a legend and has been passed down. But no one knows the truth. The moment a True God uses the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon, he will suffer a certain backlash and lose about half his life. Therefore, he generally does not use the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon unless he is in a critical moment of life!"
"What kind of weapon is it, and where is it hidden?" Wang Xiaohai said with emotion, "I didn't see it in the temple."
"Of course I won't let you see it. If you do, the demon spies will be able to see it and find it too," the True God said. "The Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon is made up of twenty ancestral stars. The divine stars are the parts of the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon. Twenty ancestral stars can form the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon, which can deliver a star-level devastating blow that even the demon gods cannot withstand!"
“Twenty ancestral stars make up the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon?” Wang Xiaohai found it incredible. “The ancestral stars are so huge. I thought the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon was not big, only the size of the moon. I didn’t expect it to be so big when composed of twenty ancestral stars!” The volume of an ancestral star is equivalent to about 100 million ordinary planets.
"That's right, that's why the coordinates of the Ancestral Star are so uncertain. Even if the Demonic spies knew that the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon was composed of the Ancestral Star, they wouldn't be able to find it. But the True Gods can know the location of every Ancestral Star, because the Divine Stars have passages connecting to the Divine Territory. So, as long as the True Gods need to, they can easily find the Ancestral Stars and use the Ancestral Stars' ability to jump through space to gather them together and combine them into the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon!" The old man said, "But I won't do that. My lifespan has long exceeded 50 million years, so using it will kill me. The Demonic Tribe also knows this, so they just need to wait quietly for my death."
Wang Xiaohai thought to himself: "The side effects of this Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon are too great. If it were me, I wouldn't use it either."
"No, the ancestral star Gubo of the Gubo galaxy has been shattered. Is the Star God Demon-Destroying Cannon gone?" Wang Xiaohai suddenly thought of this.
"No, there are more than twenty ancestral stars. We only need twenty of them to form the Star God Demon-Slaying Cannon, so it doesn't matter if a few are damaged." The old True God said, "Hey, how do you know that the Gubo Galaxy is the ancestral star?"
"It's an accident. I've been to the Gu Bo Galaxy and happened to see it in the library. In fact, the passage I came in through is in the Gu Bo Galaxy. You can ask your supercomputer and you will know." Wang Xiaohai explained.
"You wouldn't mention such a trivial matter as the system computer to me," the old man said. "Well, after all this talk, I have the Star Domain True God Contract on my desk. Take it and read it, then sign it."
After saying that, the old man handed an ancient scroll to Wang Xiaohai.
