Chapter 742 - 591: Deep-Sea Fish Exploration
The High Parallel Divine Object ended up in Surya’s hands.Back then, when this Divine Object was born, Magaras and Surya fought over it, trying to seize it, but were forced back by Surya.
In other words.
If he wanted to gather the Parallel Series, he still had to go looking for Surya.
As for the Space Divine Object Series...
Counting what the Phoenix Emperor had collected, the three of them were basically complete.
By this calculation, among the Time, Space, and Parallel branches of the Parallel Space-Time Series, to fully complete the set, only a single High Parallel was left!
"This Divine Object series has quite a few pieces, no fewer than the Chaos Series. If I gather them all, there might be a terrifying qualitative leap..."
Liu Jun sat cross-legged, sensing the now-complete Time and Space Divine Object series.
Rustle—
The Time Divine Object Series within his body roared madly.
In that instant, he could reboot the entire timeline of the Cloud-Fish Steam World beneath his feet!
"Interesting."
"As expected, if not for being countered by Chaos, time is pretty much invincible..."
Only now did Liu Jun truly feel Magaras’s strength.
His abilities were divided into two or three kinds.
1. Save-load: return to a timeline, reboot the past of a region!
Unless you prepare Chaos in advance to block this attack, otherwise if he sneak-attacks you silently and reboots you back into the past in an instant, you’ll forget your current memories...
As long as you get save-loaded once, you’ll be trapped in a time loop forever.
He keeps loading the save, and you’ll never even notice.
It can be called an insanely terrifying first-encounter kill!
2. Accelerate the time of the brain and speed up learning.
Previously Magaras used this trick to frantically catch up to God’s Wisdom.
But clearly, accelerating the brain places an enormous burden on it.
3. Time Piggy Bank: as long as you attack him, you’ll drop the time on your body and age at high speed.
This is similar to the God of Theft’s stealing, both are, in a sense, true damage.
After all, in theory a Tenth-Order lifespan is infinite, because their lifespan can be restored.
But if the opponent keeps extracting your lifespan and never gives you a chance to recover and recuperate, you’ll still wither and die of old age.
"Magaras’s power is indeed quite strong, it’s just afraid of Chaos... otherwise it really would be invincible."
Liu Jun’s gaze shifted to the Space Divine Object Series.
The Space Divine Objects were relatively plain and unpretentious.
The killing power of space cutting was extremely top-tier and formless.
Spatial teleportation, spatial jumps, and all sorts of flashy tricks.
As for the last incomplete Parallel.
"This power is still somewhat useful... Gate of Parallel, here it’s not that big a deal... Parallel Projection."
"This octopus Creator’s multi-dimensional heavens have countless multi-dimensional parallel bubble worlds... I can project multiple selves and, in passing, scout this whole region."
Liu Jun pondered.
Magaras had used exactly this trick to accelerate his mediocre learning ability.
Multi-dimensional clone projections plus time acceleration... hundreds of selves studying like mad together.
Rustle—
The next moment, Liu Jun’s perspective shifted.
Multi-dimensional God-perspective.
He found that he’d become like a fly, with countless mirror-split images at the corners of his vision, countless versions of himself walking through different worlds.
His brain had also become multi-threaded, multitasking and controlling countless selves at once.
"Not bad, this feeling of multi-dimensional life is pretty nice!"
It had to be said, many Divine Objects had great potential to begin with; they’d just never had time to be developed and popularized.
The Parallel Divine Objects were originally supposed to be developed, but development suddenly stopped when they discovered the Twelve Trial Worlds.
The Space Divine Objects, for example, had basically never been developed much at all.
Liu Jun’s brows twitched as he looked beneath his eyelids.

...
"Much more streamlined."
Liu Jun was quite satisfied with this sight.
Now that he had absorbed Magaras’s power, he’d become far, far stronger.
You could even say that he alone now counted for more than half the gods!
The rest of the gods added together these days weren’t enough for him alone to fight...
"Of course, I can’t get cocky either."
"Human power cannot overcome Mother Nature. These Deep Sea Creators birthed by nature itself are probably only stronger and stronger, never the strongest..."
"They’re not something single-bodied lifeforms can defeat."
After roughly taking stock of his gains, Liu Jun rested for two days before letting Fortuna out.
Once she came out, Fortuna curiously looked at the surrounding world, "Where is this? This place gives off a very rich feeling, and the pressure is really heavy..."
"Eh, Lord God, how did you get bigger?"
Fortuna saw herself lying in God’s palm, her face blank and innocent.
"We’re under deep water."
God said calmly, "The water pressure here compresses the density of all matter. It’s like living on a planet with ultra‑high gravity and density. When you come here, of course you’ll become smaller."
Fortuna half-understood, "Then the high-pressure lifeforms here, living in this kind of environment, are they very strong?"
In this world, although one didn’t need to directly endure the Chaos water pressure, the world was ultimately affected; all things in this world had an extremely high density.
God said, "Mm, the powerhouses here are indeed very strong, far beyond our Tenth Tier at the same level... but they can’t surface. Born under light-year-level pressure, once they rise up, the sudden drop in pressure would make them pop like a balloon!"
Fortuna more or less understood what he meant, and soon she began trying to adapt to this environment, increasing pressure, expanding her body size, and increasing her density.
A week later.
Fortuna had already recovered to the size of a normal person.
But after being cooped up for so long, she excitedly went out, eager to explore this brand-new undersea heavens-and-worlds.
Liu Jun didn’t choose to stop her.
Within the Tenth Tier, there simply was no one here who could kill the Goddess of Destiny.
As long as she didn’t provoke that beast under their feet.
Taking advantage of this period, Liu Jun instead began to recuperate from his injuries and整理 his insights from that battle with Magaras.
Pseudo Eleventh Tier.
The Deep Sea Creator God form—these all had immense research value.
"It’s just that the water pressure here is a bit too deep... If I want to turn into a Giant Beast and not be crushed by the water pressure until I lose my sanity, I still have to rise up a bit..."
Liu Jun stood within the bubble, looking up.
That was where the deep-sea Lanternfish Creator was.
The shallower the layer, the weaker the Creator; this lanternfish was the weakest one, and the bubble worlds it spat out had just had a batch destroyed.
But this fish was also very productive.
In just a few days, it had spat out another batch of brand-new primitive bubble worlds.
It was just that these worlds had only just opened up; inside were nothing but newly born beasts, the first batch of sacred beings birthed by heaven and earth... no true civilization had evolved yet.
"This is really interesting."
The next moment, Liu Jun activated Concealment and silently slipped into the Ocean of Chaos.
The terrifying light-year-level water pressure around him kept squeezing in, as if it wanted to forcibly crush all life to death.
Following the dark currents, Liu Jun headed all the way up.
His form slowly changed, the nine Divine Object Series appearing once more, forming the simplest and weakest Deep Sea Creator form in history.
Splash—
He slowly floated, feeling this power surging out anew.
With one step, he straddled the back of this muddle-headed Lanternfish Giant Beast.
He found that the previous battle with Magaras had actually left this Giant Beast completely unscathed; after fighting around it for so long, they had only given it a superficial wound.
Well, that figured.
Judging by current combat power—
Back then, God and Magaras, these two pseudo Eleventh Tier beings, together didn’t even possess one-thousandth of the power of this true Eleventh Tier.
To this lanternfish, the two of them were just ants fighting on its body.
If this fish knew how to use its power, if it weren’t a purely bestial creature that only knew instinctive tail-swishing and struggling, and was even quite docile, it could probably have killed the two combatants back then in just a few moves...
"And it’s only the weakest one at the Eleventh Tier."
"It’s possible that the strength scale of the Eleventh Tier has no upper limit..."
Liu Jun felt the power of this Deep Sea Giant Beast.
So, you really have to lose your IQ and turn into a beast to become this strong?
He sighed, his figure flickered, and he suddenly swung his blade, slicing open the lanternfish’s scales.
The pale, tender fish flesh was exposed, and Liu Jun lightly flickered, slamming into the Giant Beast’s internal organs.
He began truly observing the internal ecological structure of a genuine Eleventh Tier.
Previously, when he observed Magaras’s pirated Eleventh Tier interior, all kinds of information were completely insufficient.
Tap tap tap!
Liu Jun kept walking, observing this fish.
Spine, alveoli, heart, stomach... everything was composed of various Divine Objects.
At a glance, this fish looked quite proper and well-rounded, but on closer inspection, it was a completely Lovecraftian horror scene.
Because its entire structure was just a pile of trash forged together.
Can you imagine a pile of stinky socks, insoles, clothes, wooden barrels, teacups... all the "trash" left behind when various Tenth Tier powerhouses fell, forming a trash fish?
The water pressure forcibly compressed the trash into this indescribable Deep Sea Giant Beast, something that couldn’t withstand close scrutiny at all.
However, the combination of these Divine Objects still followed certain rules... For example, its fish scales were an outer shell made entirely of Gold Attribute Divine Objects.
Liu Jun continuously observed the life-operation logic of the other.
The chaotic blood in each capillary... surging from the heart to all parts, then passing through the respiratory tract.
Just like a nuclear fusion reaction, the "Primordial Heaven Opening reaction" released massive energy during the process of spitting out bubble worlds, maintaining the operation of this fish.
"Then how does it eat Divine Objects?"
Liu Jun raised his head and looked at the bubble worlds above its head.
After the Tenth Tier powerhouses in those worlds fell, their various Divine Objects just happened to drop straight down from directly above its head, realizing fully automated feeding.
Thinking of this, Liu Jun decisively flickered, took out a trash Divine Object he had just casually picked up while swimming over, and tossed it into its mouth.
Gululu—
The lanternfish opened its mouth, countless streams of water rushing in, swallowing the Divine Object along the way.
"Let’s see how it digests Divine Objects."
Liu Jun followed its mouth, swiftly flashing inside, preparing to follow the food it had just eaten, moving through its various organs, and embarking on a marvelous journey.
