Chapter 138: Turbulent Starfield, Star-devouring Beast!
After bidding farewell to the young girl, Sullo also left the plane that he was in.
During his journey, Sullo began to ponder. If he could place first in the divine lord competition, would he be able to get the other lords to help him open up a God King’s teleportation array so that he could finally return to God King Fu Jia’s divine region?
It sounded like a good idea! After all, it might be his only way to return back home.
It might be the only way for him to return!
After all, the only way for him to return to his home plane from where he was required a sovereign expert to activate a divine teleportation array of the same level for him!
Under normal circumstances, most sovereign experts would not help him with this. Therefore, the divine lord’s position and God King Mu’s one request were his best bet.
He figured that he could ask a sovereign expert to help him once he obtained the position as it wasn’t really something that would require too much effort.
In other words, if he was ranked first, he could successfully return home!
Following that, Sullo stepped into the town’s teleportation array and the scene changed.
Under a starry sky, there were countless gods that seemed to be thriving.
A massive divine city spanned across several star systems, assisting each other underneath the endless sky.
This divine domain contained countless gods. Amongst them, there were even quite a few sovereign experts!
A dazzling light flashed past as a god descended from the teleportation array.
That God was Sullo!
Once Sullo was in the city, he asked the people around him exactly where he was. According to them, the place he was at was called the Heaven-Cleaving Divine City! It included many nearby star systems that covered a vast area.
This divine city had many gods, and the strongest amongst them was even a sovereign expert!
Sullo thought for a while.
Before he came to this world, he had asked the clan leader where the competition for the divine lord spots would be held.
If he wanted to reach the top, there were many other obstacles that he would need to face. This was especially true in an unfamiliar divine region.
While pondering those thoughts, Sullo wanted to rush to the next teleportation array but was distracted by the sudden commotion.
There were four beautiful goddesses emitting a powerful divine aura as they strolled down the main street.
Behind them, there were a few lackeys who were trying to curry favor with them.
They surrounded the goddesses constantly, asking about their well-being.
Everywhere they passed was rife with commotion.
This situation aroused Sullo’s great interest. It seemed like they were both special people!
Thus, Sullo also asked the people around him.
“Who are these people? Why do I feel that they are very special? It seems like their presence is causing such a commotion.
The God that Sullo had asked this question also answered him directly.
“These four gods are students from the Heaven-Cleaving Academy and are extremely powerful!”
“Furthermore, look at the most beautiful goddess amongst them. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a genius ranked eighth on the throne list! Her talent and strength are incredible! Not ordinary gods can compare to her!”
“Sigh, if only I could have the same amount of power as her, I would be invincible!”
“Oh? The throne list? What is that? What does it mean?”
Sullo was incredibly curious as he asked the passerby’s more information regarding this.
After all, Sullo had just arrived and did not know anything. He could only keep asking these sorts of questions.
“Sigh, just look at yourself. How could you not even know these things? What backwater place are you from that you have to ask such questions!”
Seeing that Sullo didn’t know anything, the passerby felt extremely disdainful.
However, they still began to explain exactly what it was to Sullo.
“The throne list is a list that ranks the most powerful gods in the Heaven-Cleaving Divine City, home to some of the most famous geniuses in the entire universe! Every single God on this list has an extremely powerful natural talent and endless hope in their future! They’re Gods that ordinary folk like us can’t compare to!”
“You say that you are at least a god, but you don’t even understand. You truly are a bumpkin! However, your strength isn’t bad. Work hard, young man!”
Facing the passerby’s disdain Sullo merely smiled.
“Haha, Big Brother. Thank you very much for clarifying. I know understand what’s going on.”
After understanding the situation between these gods, Sullo began to make his own plans. “Based on what I can see, they should also be heading to the Divine Court where the competition will be held!”
Knowing that the other party was also heading to the Divine Court, Sullo went forward and asked the goddess if he could follow them there.
“Honorable goddess, you’re heading toward the Divine Court, right? May I ask if we can go together?”
After hearing Sullo’s words, the other gods and goddesses around them became furious and looked down on him.
“Hehe, who do you think you are? You dare to ask the Goddess if she’d like to travel together with you?”
“If you want to travel together with the Goddess, you are not worthy! You’re just an ordinary God! How can you compare to our Goddess who is ranked on the throne list!
“Scram, you trash!”
Even though the goddess was cold and aloof, she still agreed to travel with Sullo despite her followers’ harsh words.
“Fine, you may follow me on my way to the Divine Court.”
The goddess’ attitude caused the gods beside her to feel extremely angry and confused.
“Goddess, this doesn’t make sense. Why did you let him travel with you?”
“Why? Why did you let this bumpkin go with you? Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your reputation?”
Facing their confusion, she did not have much of a reaction. The Goddess was extremely cold toward them as she said, “Who I decide to travel with is truly none of your business.”
The gods couldn’t refute. They could only listen to the goddess and agree to go with Sullo!
However, after being refuted by the goddess, the gods turned to look at Sullo with eyes that were filled with anger.
It was because of him that the goddess was unhappy with them!
After agreeing to go together, Sullo, the goddess, and her lackeys arrived at the starfield.
When they arrived at the starfield, the Goddess began to explain about the starfield to him.
“As the Divine Court is located in a remote area, we must head there through this turbulent starfield. In fact, we can’t even use the teleportation array to get there from here! Since there’s too much interference, using the teleportation array will randomly teleport you to a random plane. Therefore, it becomes quite dangerous to get to the Divine Court by any other means. We can only use divine power to pass through this starfield!”
After the goddess’ explanation, Sullo had a better understanding of the area
It seemed that the gods on the throne list were not weak as they all had a certain level of strength and knowledge.
After all the preparations were completed, they were prepared to use their powerful divine power to pass through the chaotic starfield!
As they passed through this starfield, they saw a strange scene.
Countless stars were flickering.
They also encountered many vicious beasts that were even larger than the stars. There were the star-devouring beasts!
A terrifying vicious beast that could devour an entire star whose power was at the God level and above!
At this moment, the star-devouring beast was currently devouring an enormous star!
Seeing this, even Sullo was somewhat shaken.
However, it was fortunate that the star-devouring beast only had the strength of a one-star demigod, which meant that it was not a threat for them at all.
Thus, they could ignore it!
Right at the moment, one of the gods that were traveling with them suddenly had an inappropriate idea.
“Hahaha, it seems we’re going to be rich! This is a treasure! These ferocious beasts in the starry skies have devoured countless stars over a long time, so their bodies have probably formed crystals by now on the inside. This is a good thing! If we kill them, we will gain lots of riches! Furthermore, they’re extremely weak so they won’t post any threats to us!”
Once that god finished their explanation, everyone else seemed to be nodding along.
After all, they would be able to obtain bountiful treasure without having to work hard for it.
The effort to eliminate one of these beasts felt worth it!
Hence, they began to hunt down the star-devouring beasts!
