Chapter 396

Chromie sighed in relief. If he were to be caught up with by those fellows, their fanatical beliefs would make them choose to use their lives to stop him, and as long as he was stopped for a while, Desolate Shadow would most likely arrive.

Chromie endured the discomfort brought by the world conversion and continued forward. Although [Astral Body] could allow him to establish a connection with other worlds through the stars, the difference between the two worlds would cause the user of [Astral Body] to experience a backlash that was hard to adapt to.

Back then, the other hunters could only borrow the power of the Moon Tree world's astral projection, very few of them used the power of other astral worlds, and it was precisely because of this backlash.

However, Chromie managed to obtain some of the remnants of the Hunter. Although these remnants couldn't compare to the Dim Silence Envoy's resurrection rate, they still allowed Chromie to obtain some of the authority of the Hunter from back then, one of which was the authority to access this world's barrier.

This allowed Chromie to more easily contact the astral world, and at the same time, lessen the backlash. Otherwise, no one would dare to connect to an astral world that had such a large time difference from the Moon Tree world.

〖 Those bright stars aren't the real celestial bodies floating near our world, but rather the projections of the higher realms in our world. Due to the uniqueness of the higher realms, [Astral Body] magic doesn't work at all, so we can only search for the dim astral world of the Sand World, which requires the coordinates of that world 〗 Negri sat on top of the clock tower, observing everything from afar.

During the Moon Tree world's invasion of other worlds, they had obtained quite a few world coordinates. Although most of these world coordinates had already lost their effectiveness, some of them were still useful, and the will of the Moon Tree had now given all of them to Chromie.

Chromie had the world coordinates in his hand, but he didn't have a way to travel to another world. Through his observation of the past, Negri had paid special attention to Desolate Shadow's information and unexpectedly discovered Chromie's traces, as well as his [Astral Body] magic.

Negri had infected the outer layer of the Moon Tree world, so as soon as he discovered Chromie's traces, he focused all of his attention there and had already analyzed most of the so-called [Astral Body] magic. The reason why he sent Killer J there was for the world coordinates in Chromie's hand, and there was no such thing as too much.

Negri carefully counted the world coordinates in his hand. Back in the Flame world, he was still too weak to record that world's coordinates, and even leaving that world had to rely on the first flame's passage.

There were records of the passage to the Disaster world, but Negri had already sent people from the Impure Hermit Order to check it out a while ago. That world had already been destroyed, leaving nothing but a desolate wasteland. The environment there was no longer suitable for living beings.

After Fang Ze betrayed the world, he became even more ruthless. However, it could be said that the world's consciousness reaped what it sowed. No matter what, that world was basically useless now.

Aside from that, there were also the coordinates of the SCR World. This world had now become the training world for the Impure Hermit Order, with over 8000 parallel worlds, it was more than enough to nurture them into slightly more useful people.

Other than that, Negri hadn't even seen the coordinates of the worlds that Secluded Silence had given him, he had only projected some information about Negri to those worlds. Of course, the homecoming armor of the SCR World also contained clues to other worlds, but Negri still didn't have the ability to extract them.

Finally, there was the metropolis world that Wang Yuan resided in. From the looks of it, Negri didn't have a lot of world coordinates in his hand, and most of them had already lost their value.

Even if he conquered a world right now, he would only be able to harvest a bit of World Origin to enrich his own path. If he wanted to improve by leaps and bounds, he wouldn't be able to do so in these sand worlds. For example, unless the seven Gods came here to harvest World Origin, they would always stay in high-tier worlds.

At the time, the Moon Tree world could already be considered a middle-tier world, its rate of absorbing World Origin from the void wasn't slow at all. Combined with the seven Gods' harvesting method, they were able to harvest over 10,000 portions of World Origin every 100 years.

After Negri took control of the SCR World, in order to maintain the world's normal operation, he would only be able to produce one portion of World Origin every 2-3 years, which meant that he would only be able to produce less than 50 portions in 100 years. Of course, he would be able to produce a bit more by harvesting method, but it still couldn't compare to the Moon Tree world, otherwise, the seven Gods wouldn't have gone to such lengths just for this fruit.

World Origin could be considered as a type of high-tier mana, allowing almost all spells and abilities to be performed through World Origin, which would greatly increase their power. Furthermore, World Origin could also nourish one's own path, allowing it to grow. This was also the main use of World Origin for Path Combatants. The growth of a world also required World Origin, and World Origin could be said to be the nutrient for all living things.

If over 10,000 portions of World Origin were to be used on a single Path Combatant, it would be more than enough for them to take a single step forward. For a Path Combatant, taking even a single step forward was too difficult.

Speaking of World Origin, Negri wasn't too greedy. This was also the advantage of his world virus. After infecting a world, he would be able to slowly harvest World Origin from that world. Compared to other Path Combatants, harvesting World Origin was much more convenient.

"The Day of Offering God in half a month won't be peaceful" Over 10,000 portions of World Origin was only a single harvest every hundred years, the goal of each of the seven Gods was to push the other Righteous Gods out and monopolize this Moon Tree farm.

In the past, they had fought against each other countless times both openly and in the shadows, but due to the incident with the Great Magus, this conflict that had lasted for over a thousand years was about to come to an end, and the ownership of the Moon Tree world would finally be decided.

Negri was looking forward to all of this. His strength couldn't compare to the seven Gods, but from the moment he arrived in this world, he had never intended to retreat. In the Disaster world, the gap between him and the New Deity Archaeosaurus was too great. At that time, trying to fight him head-on would have been suicide, but now, he could afford to lose even if he failed.

Not to mention, it wasn't like he didn't have a chance to win. He was indeed no match for the seven Gods in terms of strength, even after manifesting his Path, he was barely on par with them. However, in certain aspects, he had advantages that the seven Gods didn't.

For example, after the world virus infected the outer layer of the world, his understanding and analysis of the Moon Tree world far surpassed the seven Gods, not to mention that he had quite a few trump cards in hand.

Of course, I still need to make more preparations. Negri recalled that both Eternal Heat and Life Bearer were hiding a few secrets, such as how Life Bearer was able to fully control the Great Magus, or how far Eternal Heat and the will of the Moon Tree had cooperated.

Other than that, the other Righteous Gods couldn't be underestimated either. For example, Barren Shadow had appeared at the Mana Banquet but didn't do anything, most likely plotting something. Furthermore, even Red Tears and Eulogy of the Depths who had fallen into slumber, or The Unreachable Gate who had no choice but to hide, or even Dark Death whose rationality was constantly offline, couldn't be underestimated.
