“Bernis, Latia…” Softly calling, Yu Zi Yu, now hidden within the depths of the white mist, gazed with a smile at the two figures before him.
Though still young, Yu Zi Yu could vaguely see the shadows of Nine Tails and Bull Demon in them.
They were Yu Zi Yu’s masterpieces on Planet Elysia—the second-generation Apostles.
Unlike the first generation, who possessed independent personalities and intelligence, the minds of the second-generation Apostles were all twisted, and they totally revered Yu Zi Yu.
In this new world, for the sake of safety, twisting their minds was inevitable, a necessary means, but in return, Yu Zi Yu planned on whole-heartedly nurturing them.
Only when they have truly grown, having transformed into nightmares of this world, would Yu Zi Yu carry out the next step of his plan.
And this was the fate Yu Zi Yu had arranged for them.
…
Honestly, Yu Zi Yu believed that Bernis and Latia, once they woke up, might, possibly, be grateful to him.
After all, without him, these two girls, though talented, were destined for mediocrity.
However, things were different now. By forming a Blood Covenant with Yu Zi Yu and having been corrupted by the Void Space, they had gained powers unique to the Void Space.
These two girls had already undergone a true qualitative change. They now had the potential to truly step into the realm of the powerful.
At this moment, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking at the two girls—both with long purple hair and amber eyes tinged with a hint of violet—Yu Zi Yu smiled and ordered. “Go now, slaughter, reap, seize all resources for me.”
“Yes, my Dear Master,” in unison, the two girls responded and then vanished side by side into the depths of the white mist.
As a matter of fact, Latia was no longer in Tier-2. To accelerate her growth, Yu Zi Yu personally baptized her and infused her with Spirit Treasures.
Though there were some minor side effects, the results were undeniable.
Now, Latia had not only stepped into Tier-3, but her battle prowess had also significantly increased, thanks to the purple longbow forged from Yu Zi Yu’s branch.
In fact, in terms of long-range combat power alone, she was even more terrifying than Bernis by several degrees.
Moreover, as second-generation Apostles, they were cold, emotionless, like war machines, exceptionally skilled in battle.
In this regard, they were far more terrifying than the first-generation Apostles.
Of course, while they excelled in combat, their potential had also been further stifled due to their twisted minds. The possibility of them breaking through to Tier-5, where their Souls would truly undergo a qualitative transformation, was slim.
However, Tier-5, forget them—even the first-generation Apostles, or even Yu Zi Yu’s subordinates like Nine Tails and Bull Demon, would struggle to break through.
That level marked a transformation of the Soul, not something achievable through mere breakthroughs in Spiritual Energy. Without the so-called ‘enlightenment,’ they would never be able to break through, no matter how long they lived.
So, Tier-5 was too distant for the second-generation Apostles.
For now, Yu Zi Yu was more focused on having them reach Tier-4 as soon as possible, even if it means sacrificing some of their potential.
Only by reaching Tier-4 could Yu Zi Yu utilize them to the fullest. Let alone whether they could break through to Tier-5.
…
With a playful smile, Yu Zi Yu pushed aside his thoughts and focused his consciousness into his true form.
He had been remotely controlling the Void Willow for the past couple of days and had almost forgotten about deducing the Dao of Formations.
With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu stated in a deep voice, [System, consume Evolution Points and assist me in deducing the Stellar Formations.]
<Ding, please confirm that you wish to consume 30,000 Evolution Points per second to deduce the Stellar Formation?>
[Affirmative.] Just as he gave the confirmation, Yu Zi Yu’s majestic form, lurking in the depths of the Void Space, suddenly trembled.
*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* Continuous rumbles filled the Void Space, as a terrifying aura rose uncontrollably from him, as if his majestic form was waking up.
Adding to the spectacular sight, a sharp flying blade emerged from his massive, towering trunk. Forged as if from Stars, its blade shone brilliantly, reflecting the vast expanse of the starry sky.
From a distance, it evoked an overwhelming sense of insignificance, as if one were standing before the cosmos itself.
This was the Star Dagger—One of Yu Zi Yu’s five Dao-Protecting Artifacts—forged from a Star Core and refined with the Essence of Stars, painstakingly polished by Old Ninth over several months.
Aside from its unrivaled hardness and sharpness, it also possessed the ability to channel starlight, making it extraordinary.
And now, as Yu Zi Yu entered a profound state of enlightenment aided by his Evolution Points, the Star Dagger, seemingly sensing something, emerged from within him.
*Hummm…* The Star Dagger hummed softly, like a joyful child, as it began to spin around Yu Zi Yu’s immense form.
At the same time…
*Swish, swish, swish…* Amidst peculiar sounds, the Star Dagger began to split at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One became two…
Two became four…
Four became eight…
In just a few breaths, a brilliant river of stars had formed around Yu Zi Yu, silently spinning.
However, this was merely the beginning…
“The Dao of Formations is most profound… Even a Stellar Formation, which only gathers Spiritual Energy is extraordinary…” Yu Zi Yu murmured to himself, his eyes flickering with a mysterious light.
Upon closer inspection, countless Star Daggers could be seen intertwining, evolving, as if simulating something.
No one knew how much time passed.
Finally gaining some understanding, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he shouted, “Formation, activate!”
His words, like a thunderclap, exploded within the Void Space, and with that, countless Star Daggers began to intertwine and spin around him.
In a moment, with a soft *hum* from the daggers, a ray of starlight suddenly appeared in the depths of the Void Space.
It was just a single ray of starlight, very common in the universe.
However, this was deep within the Void Space, a place even more desolate than the universe itself, a world filled with nothing but Void Energy.
Yet now, a ray of starlight had emerged.
What was even more terrifying was that this starlight was growing ever more radiant, illuminating nearly half of the Void Space around Yu Zi Yu.
Suddenly, with a crisp crack, the starlight grew extremely bright, bathing Yu Zi Yu’s immense form in endless starlight.
Yu Zi Yu had no idea where this starlight was coming from, but it carried an immense amount of Spiritual Energy.
*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* At that moment, Yu Zi Yu’s majestic form had turned into a giant beast, swallowing it all in great gulps.
As a result, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Stellar Formation was a type of Spiritual Energy Gathering Formation. However, what Golden Monkey had not told Yu Zi Yu was that the Stellar Formation was also one of the best formations for gathering Spiritual Energy.
Of course, it was not that the Golden Monkey intentionally withheld this information. It was simply that he never thought Yu Zi Yu would be able to lay down the Stellar Formation in just a few short months.
After all, this was only a few months, not years or even decades.
In Golden Monkey’s estimation, even with Yu Zi Yu’s extraordinary talent, it would take him at least a century to go from nothing to successfully laying out the Stellar Formation.
And mastering the Stellar Formation in a century would still make him a prodigy in the Dao of Formations, even in the previous era.
And this did not account for the fact that Yu Zi Yu had no foundation in the Dao of Formations, not even a basic understanding. He had only studied with Golden Monkey for a few months!
But now…In the deepest part of the Void Space, dazzling starlight was streaming down, resembling a river of stars flowing upside down. Amidst the vast starlight, a Towering Tree stood silently.
It was sacred and inviolable, carrying an inexplicable majesty.
