An overwhelming amount of information, seemingly endless, flooded Alm and Bruno’s minds as they accepted it all. It would take several days to fully absorb all these details, something they decided to postpone for another time. For now, they focused solely on the Dao of the God Gaia.
They both started reading simultaneously to expedite the process, as each could pick up hidden details differently. After a few minutes, they both felt a bit stunned. The content was truly strange and peculiar, while a sense of irritation began to manifest.
’What the hell! This is something only a primordial core could utilize,’ Alm expressed his discontent. ’At the first level, it simply enhances the connection of celestial laws and life forms to the planet, drastically altering everything... How are we supposed to use this? Does Heaven’s Will expect us to grow exponentially, becoming round and gigantic like a planet to reap this benefit?’
Although they had only superficially examined the Dao, it was clear that it was something intended for beings at the level of a Gaia. It didn’t seem to have any utility for mortal cultivators, benefiting no one individually. It even raised doubts as to whether it would be possible for them, mere mortals, to harness any aspect of this knowledge.
’There must be some way. After all, we’ve been challenged to take over a planet, and we’ve been sent near a weak planet almost devoid of resources. Maybe this is a level 1 challenge for us to learn and overcome...’ Bruno spoke with a hint of hope, although his words didn’t entirely convey confidence.
They briefly pondered the meaning of taking over the planet. It probably involved removing the Queen’s mark and then preventing her from marking it again as hers. But was that possible? Many doubts arose.
’The dominance rune in mortal souls doesn’t work on a primordial core,’ Alm calmly tried to analyze the situation. ’The Queen’s control over Gaia must come through celestial laws. Since they are connected and have little autonomy or significant power, they are easy to manipulate, unlike the primordial beasts.’
’Cutting off the connection with celestial laws and the primordial core seems impossible. But...’ Bruno suddenly interjected, his mind finding a solution. ’I got it!’
Alm was surprised, having no idea what to do until then. But as he felt the rune of faith being used by Bruno, he had an insight.
’We don’t need to sever the connection with celestial laws. If all life forms, including Gaia, have a connection to our religion, the Queen won’t be able to do anything against them without acting directly,’ Bruno explained excitedly. ’If we give the Dao to Gaia to use, with it, Gaia can absorb and connect to the lives, thus keeping everything under control and escaping external domination.’
Alm listened a bit skeptically. ’Your technique, the ’Rurian Faithlink.’ Can it be used by Gaia?’
’Yes, it will be similar to the technique rune that I’ve shared several times with others. With Gaia controlling it and using the Dao, it can imbue all life forms, placing them under our protection,’ Bruno replied after a deep reflection.
’Of course, this won’t make them our followers automatically. We don’t want to repeat the Queen’s actions and enslave people without their consent. But it will prevent the Queen from activating the rune in their souls. If they choose to follow us, our presence in them will be activated automatically. It will ultimately be their choice,’ Bruno concluded.
Alm nodded. ’Excellent. This way, thanks to the Dao of the God Gaia, this planet will gradually rise. Soon, all life here will become more powerful. As long as they remain on the planet, they’ll be protected. But if they choose to follow us and become our followers, they’ll also never easily fall into her hands. In the long run, this will bring us great benefits.’
Bruno didn’t hesitate any more and fully activated Gaia’s blessing in his soul. A natural aura emerged around them, and the environment immediately felt softer and more welcoming.
They waited patiently. It didn’t take long for the cave they were in to start being covered by green vegetation sprouting from the ground. It was a clear manifestation of the primordial core focusing its attention on them.
’He can talk?’ Bruno thought, and immediately felt a subtle intention trying to penetrate their bodies.
It was Gaia’s will. Although unable to speak directly, they could understand each other by exchanging intentions. Bruno could even send thoughts and things directly to a planet’s Gaia like this.
Bruno focused and allowed that intention to connect with him. Meanwhile, Alm silently watched time pass slowly. Bruno remained focused, not saying a word, but seemed to be undergoing a huge mental effort. His eyebrows furrowed several times, grappling with information with someone who couldn’t speak and, moreover, shouldn’t possess such high intelligence; it seemed to be an exhausting task.
After half a day, Bruno opened his eyes. He breathed deeply, seeming to have spent centuries in endless torment. Yet, he nodded, satisfied.
The whale moved out of the cave, flying toward an open field, while Bruno focused again. He used every bit of power in the faith rune without holding back. All the available QI of the whale was used together, and before them, a small Rurian Faithlink rune appeared. Then, it began to grow bigger and bigger until it reached a gigantic size.
When everything settled, the rune began to be absorbed into the soil in a mystical manner. Shortly after, Alm could feel a slight vibration throughout the planet. The rune reached directly to the primordial core, and Bruno had already given all the necessary instructions. If Gaia used its own QI, it could feed that rune and create small ones infinitely. Now, all that was left was to distribute it to all life forms.
’I had to show and give the Dao of the God Gaia as a guarantee and goodwill. And then I also promised to help the life forms here,’ Bruno said with a sigh. ’It’s not a bad deal; we’ll make our name and spread it. So generations will know us, and true followers will emerge here.’
Alm agreed. If nothing strange happened, in a few thousand years, this planet would become a true ascending planet. Such planets are not named derogatorily; "ascending" is in the name because eventually cultivators ascend to the divine realm from them. It’s not a large number, but you can always find some in the divine realm. If they help enough, these cultivators will be faithful devotees, and in the future, they could be useful.
’Gaia has already started working,’ Bruno confirmed, feeling the Rurian Faithlink being used. ’It will take a day for it to cover everyone. Then we’ll complete the quest, and we can return. Let’s make the most of this time.’
The whale leaped into the air quickly. There were no humanoid races on that planet, only divine and demonic beasts. And, according to Gaia, it was a strangely isolated place in the ascending region of the universe. It was very rare for a visitor to appear there, and it was physically a colossal distance away from any other planet. Obviously, this place was handpicked by the Heaven’s Will.
By the way, Bruno named the planet. Its name was now Planet Vegeta, another name coming from something oddly popular from Earth.
In the main mission where they took on the form of a Cerberus, Alm and Bruno received a variety of techniques from demonic beasts and demons. Moreover, among the incomplete Daos they received in the heavenly realm, there were very specific abilities for all races.
Alm and Bruno sought out the most powerful life forms they found, usually gathered in groups. Giving all the information to just one individual could lead to domination issues. Most powerful beasts were in the Core Formation Realm, but there were a few in the Heaven Stage Realm.
The first ones to be blessed were the snow wolves, which gathered in packs. Dominating them was easy; then, they directly transmitted endless information and techniques into their minds. To finish, they didn’t forget to leave their mark.
"I am the owner and responsible for this planet. All lives..."
Bruno began to declare grandiose things with excitement. It was a bit ridiculous, but it was certainly effective. In the end, they even used the laws of the earth to create a gigantic statue of themselves. It didn’t have many details; it was just a humanoid and round shape... but it conveyed the message it was meant to.
These were just the first ones; they quickly refined the method. With that, it took less than two hours at each location. They rushed to cover as many places as possible. They didn’t repeat the legacies left behind, aiming to spread as much knowledge as possible.
Even when they encountered powerful divine fire beasts, they delivered Level One of the Alchemy God’s Dao. But the name was changed to the Round God of Alchemy Goku’s Dao. It was Planet Vegeta, so being the Goku God was an obvious choice.
Delving deeper, Alm and Bruno found some divine earth beasts. Without hesitation, they delivered the Round God of Forge Goku’s Dao.
Almost at the last moment, a pleasant surprise emerged: they found some demonic beasts with a thin bloodline from a very powerful beast they didn’t know. They felt the soul power of these beasts much higher than usual. They didn’t think much about it and delivered the Mental Cultivation to them.
Only physical cultivation was left out, as they didn’t find any suitable creatures to receive it. After a full day of hard work, they left gifts in 12 distant places for different races: multiple techniques, Daos, and high-level knowledge. Their statues, names, and words were spoken and engraved to never be forgotten.
’Now it’s just a matter of time and luck,’ Bruno said, taking a deep breath after the intense work.
Seconds later, he clearly felt a small fragment of the Rurian Faithlink everywhere; no matter where they looked, everything had a subtle part of them inside. It was at that moment that a green screen appeared.
[Congratulations, Optional Quest completed!]
[Do you wish to accept the rewards?]
[Yes / No]
Alm and Bruno felt relieved, but they had no time to waste; now they could only sustain Rehvka and the android for half a day, or they would die. So, they quickly opened the options for Celestial Miracles.
[Miracles available: 03]
This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.
[Celestial Points for use: 10]
The Space-Time Miracle was quickly accepted. As soon as they confirmed, information appeared in their minds.
[Activate the miracle?] [Yes / No]
The window awaited their confirmation as they analyzed the information. It was exactly as they predicted: this miracle could distort space, like the Gaia from the underworld did to send them back to the universe. For those connected to the laws, it wasn’t difficult, but for mortals, it was definitely a miracle.
And it wasn’t just that; time could also be manipulated similarly. A temporal distortion could create a zone where the time flow passed completely differently from the rest. It was similar to the robot universe, where tens of centuries passed inside, while only a few decades passed in the queen’s universe.
The uses for this miracle were endless and extremely interesting. With this in hand, they could go to other universes if they wished, for example. Or create a zone where, inside, a hundred years would pass while outside only an hour would pass. In this case, the miracle’s power would only work for exactly one hour.
Bruno commented lightly: ’It’s a bit of a waste to use the miracle just to get to a planet in the same universe. But anyway, let’s activate it.’
[Set or confirm your usage, within one minute]
The window appeared, and Alm and Bruno already knew how to use it. They just needed to focus mentally on where they wanted to go or what they wanted to do. The system would manipulate the celestial laws to fulfill the demand.
That was certainly costly for the Heaven’s Will. This should be the reason for having a separate currency to use the miracles. They couldn’t be used lightly, and the missionaries should contribute equivalently to justify their use.
Suddenly, the whale felt the space around them distort. In a few seconds, everything around became blurry and distorted. Then, in ten seconds, everything disappeared.
The whale only looked ahead and saw before it a planet slightly larger than Earth, but with much more water and a dazzling blue. The Pristine planet was finally before them again.
