The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"help?"

Lei Zhan looked at the Northern World God.

From the moment they met, the World God Bei Xiu was able to call him by name immediately, and it was highly likely that his Qi cultivation method and the World Prison in his possession were related to this top-tier World God.

Lei Zhan was naturally well aware of what awaited him after this 'help'.

“Yes, I will help.” The World God of Beixiu smiled slightly.

"However, for you now, you must at least break through to the level of the Ancestral God and be able to venture into the endless chaos before you might be able to help me."

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. I escaped to the Three Realms with my life hanging by a thread, barely clinging to life. If you want magic weapons or treasures, I may not be able to give them to you. But if you agree, I can give you some supernatural powers, methods, and secret techniques. These are far more precious than anything you can find in the Three Realms, or even in the stone tablet you possess!"

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan felt a surge of excitement. Although he was somewhat reluctant to admit it, he was indeed tempted by the conditions offered by the World God Bei Xiu. Some of the secret techniques and methods possessed by the World God Bei Xiu were indeed quite coveted by Lei Zhan.

"Intrigued?" Bei Xiu, the World God, looked at Lei Zhan with a half-smile. "Don't worry, this favor won't be difficult for you. It's just that once your cultivation is sufficient, you'll deliver a message to the Heavenly Azure Palace for me. I won't even make you swear an oath."

If you want Lei Zhan to make a life-bound oath, the God of the Northern Retreat World could barely manage it, but that would only be when the dissipation of this wisp of remnant soul wasn't so terrifying.

When the Northern World God fled to the Three Realms, he had the ability to collect treasures and refine some Life Oath Stones. However, his current state was vastly different from that of the past.

The current World God of Beixiu is on his deathbed, preparing for his true spirit to completely dissipate in the chaos and slowly die, so naturally he cannot carry any treasures on his body.

Without the Oath Stone, his soon-to-dissipate remnant soul could not force Lei Zhan to make an Oath; it would be better to go with the flow.

With a genius as brilliant as Lei Zhan, he is actually the most likely to achieve his wish. And geniuses always receive some special treatment.

It's important to know how sharp the vision of the Northern World God is. He could directly see that Lei Zhan's cultivation journey from mortal to true god, even with time acceleration, would take at most a million years.

He is currently only at the True God level, yet he possesses strength comparable to an Ancestral God. If Lei Zhan hadn't followed the path of spacetime instead of the sword path, the World God of Beixiu would have even considered taking him as a disciple.

After all, if we're talking about who in the Three Realms is most likely to go to the Heavenly Palace to deliver the message for him, besides Nuwa who broke through to become a World God, Lei Zhan is also one of them now.

"Send a message?" Lei Zhan pondered for a moment.

“Yes,” said the World God of Beixiu.

"The power behind me is called the Heavenly Azure Palace, which is the top power in the entire Heavenly Azure Eternal Realm. What has brought me to this point is the 'Three Divine Beasts of the Black Dragon'."

"These three divine beasts, Wujiao, were born from the chaos. They were born with the strength of ancestral gods and later had many fortuitous encounters, roaming the chaos for countless years. These three divine beasts have all reached the level of world gods. If they joined forces, they would be no less than me. It was precisely because they set a trap and ambushed me that I would not have ended up in this situation."

When the World God of Beixiu mentioned the three divine beasts, the terrifying killing intent in his eyes was simply overwhelming.

"When you are strong enough in the future, go to the Heavenly Azure Palace and tell the Heavenly Azure Palace's 'Guide' that the Northern Xiu World God was killed by the 'Three Divine Beasts of the Black Dragon'."

"The Three Divine Beasts of the Black Dragon, the Heavenly Azure Palace..." Lei Zhan listened to this extremely familiar name, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Without having to make a vow, Lei Zhan would not only be free from constraints but would also receive considerable benefits out of thin air, so Lei Zhan had no reason to refuse.

You must know that if the World God Bei Xiu doesn't make him swear a life oath, then all the techniques and secret arts he passes on to him may very well not require him to swear a life oath either... The foundation accumulated by a World God can greatly enhance his strength, whether he is fighting against himself or those around him.

"Hmm?" This time it was the World God Bei Xiu's turn to be puzzled. "Why don't you ask where the Heavenly Azure Palace is? I've been fleeing to this chaotic world of the Three Realms for almost half a chaotic era, but I haven't been able to find out even the slightest bit of information about the Heavenly Azure Palace."

"Tiancang Palace..." Lei Zhan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "If you say that you spent half a Chaos Era and still couldn't find out any information, then what about me, a True God? But when I become stronger in the future, I will be able to find out some clues."

"it is good."

The Northern World God did not insist. He, a world-level expert, had been wandering in the Great Mo Domain for most of the Chaos Era and had never heard of the Heavenly Azure Palace.

Back then, the God of the Northern World already understood that when he desperately fled for his life, he even shattered his most powerful Eternal Divine Weapon, which showed that the Three Realms he was in now were probably incredibly far from the Eternal Realm of the Heavenly Azure Sky.

“Lei Zhan.” The World God of the North looked at Lei Zhan. “Come forward.”

“Hmm.” Lei Zhan immediately walked over.

The Fuju Dao Ancestor, possessed by the Northern Xiu World God, appeared to be an immortal being, with his aura restrained as if he were an ordinary mortal. However, the closer one got, the more clearly Lei Zhan could sense the fragmented true spirit of the Northern Xiu World God that was constantly dissipating.

It was like a broken water vat, with only a few drops of water left at the bottom, and now even that bottom was beginning to crumble completely... "The current World God of Beixiu is indeed on his deathbed." Lei Zhan understood that the speed at which his soul and spirit were dissipating was completely beyond saving.

Wow~~~
Just as Lei Zhan was pondering, the World God of Bei Xiu pointed a finger from afar, and a point of light flashed across the space, instantly merging into Lei Zhan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

In that instant, a massive amount of memories flooded into Lei Zhan's sea of ​​consciousness. However, this flood of memories was far too vast. Even though Lei Zhan now possessed the strength of an Ancestral God, and his soul, true spirit, and divine soul had been nurtured to immense power by a True God's body and a first-class True Immortal Golden Core, he still fell into a near-frozen state in that instant.

"I hope you won't let me down." The World God of Beixiu looked at the stunned golden-robed youth in front of him, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After a full half hour, Lei Zhan finally regained consciousness.

"Desolate World God? Nine Yuan Annihilation? Golden Statue? The One and Only True One..." One method and secret technique after another appeared in Lei Zhan's mind, as if he were taking a quick look at them, allowing Lei Zhan to quickly understand the foundation of the Northern Xiu World God.

Even though most of the techniques and secret arts taught by the gods of the Northern Xiu World were acquired through countless years of adventure, they were still far superior to what Lei Zhan had learned.

Of course, in terms of the power and compatibility of these supernatural powers and secret techniques, there are probably few that can compare with the "Time-Space Annihilation" and the "Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel" secret techniques that Lei Zhan exchanged at the Demon Subduing Palace.

"Now that I have the 'Desolate World God' passed down by the Northern World God, my chances of breaking through to the Ancestral God level through the Divine Demon Body Refinement are much higher than those of cultivating the 'Inner Observation Freedom Ancestral God Scroll' created by Goddess Nuwa. So there's no need for me to waste my merits to exchange for subsequent methods at the Demon Subduing Palace."

Numerous secret techniques flowed through Lei Zhan's mind, and he was filled with anticipation.

"There's also the divine power 'Golden Statue' and the Nine Yuan Annihilation. With this divine power, whether I improve the Star-Picking Hand or cultivate the Nine Yuan Annihilation, it will enhance my explosive power in the Divine Demon Body Refinement. Furthermore, the divine power method passed down by the Northern Xiu World God, 'Golden Statue,' has two parts: upper and middle..."

Of all these supernatural powers, methods, and secret techniques, the one that Lei Zhan values ​​most is the "Nine Elements Annihilation."

This "Nine Elements Annihilation" is composed of nine fundamental "Primal Symbols" forming its basic divine runes. These nine Primal Symbols can continuously combine to form increasingly complex and perfect divine runes!
And these nine Yuan Runes... their growth potential is almost limitless. They continue to expand, forming increasingly complex and sophisticated divine runes. The greater the power of the divine runes, the more the divine power exerted through them will increase!

Therefore, to cultivate this supernatural power to an incredibly terrifying level, it requires an extremely high level of comprehension from the practitioner.

With the help of the black bead, Lei Zhan can accumulate energy over time to achieve enlightenment. He has no shortage of comprehension, so it can be said that this supernatural power is almost tailor-made for him.

"How is it?" World God Bei Xiu looked at Lei Zhan with a smile on his face. "The supernatural powers and techniques I passed on to you, although many of them are not the strongest among the supernatural powers and techniques you have learned, are the most practical. When you go out to explore the Chaos in the future, they will probably be of great help to you. And even some World Gods and Chaos Immortals would probably not have many of these techniques."

"These methods and secret techniques..." Lei Zhan suppressed his thoughts and looked at the World God Bei Xiu, smiling, "These methods and secret techniques and supernatural powers passed down by Senior Bei Xiu are indeed very useful to me. Moreover, if I can learn these supernatural powers and methods, I estimate that they can directly increase my strength by a lot."

"It's good that it's useful." World God Bei Xiu shook his head and smiled. "As for the methods, secret techniques, and supernatural powers that I passed on to you... you must know that the methods should not be passed on lightly. You must be careful who you pass them on to."

As he spoke, the aura emanating from the World God Beixiu became increasingly faint in Lei Zhan's perception.

"Yes." Leizhan nodded.

These supernatural abilities and secret techniques are extremely precious. If ordinary cultivators do not have his comprehension, they will almost certainly be completely occupied after learning two or three of them. How could they possibly have the energy to cultivate these supernatural abilities to the point of mastery?

"I almost forgot." The aura emanating from the World God Bei Xiu was almost completely dissipated. As if he had thought of something, he waved his hand, and the huge desolate star beneath his feet shattered, with endless chaotic power surging, as if it was frantically refining something.

Wow~~~
In just a few breaths, the huge, desolate planet beneath the feet of Lei Zhan and Bei Xiu World God turned to ashes, and in this space, a metal scroll floated silently in the chaos.

"I was so busy passing on the secret techniques that I forgot to give you the star map of the Eternal Heavenly Realm. It doesn't seem to be of much use to you right now, but it will make things much easier once you actually find the Eternal Heavenly Realm," said the World God of Beixiu.

“A star map?” Lei Zhan nodded.

He gazed at the gleaming metal scroll from afar, then with a wave of his hand, the scroll transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Lei Zhan, before being immediately collected.

"I've already taught you the supernatural powers and techniques; you're now one of my backup plans. Let's go! Let's go!"

The true spirit completely dissipated, yet the World God of Beixiu remained utterly calm.

Although he left behind two major backup plans around the Three Realms—the Moonlit Pool and the Five Treasures Sword Technique—he himself was not entirely sure whether they would have the desired effect.

Lei Zhan perfectly filled this gap and gave him a great deal of hope. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he had no further desires.

"Leave?" Lei Zhan glanced at the current state of the World God Bei Xiu and shook his head.
"I'll accompany you on this final journey, senior!" (End of Chapter)
