Hyperdimensional Universe: I have Three Thousand Ultimate Talents

Chapter 474: Chapter 296 Heavenly God, Blood Sacrifice, Activate Killing Mode_1

Hong Ling’s answer made Jiang Ming furrow his brows deeply.

“Integration of the Four Elements leads to death?” Jiang Ming asked back, “Why do you say that?”

“When you speak of integration, are you referring to the integration of power, or the integration of divinity?” Hong Ling looked at him and said, “There is a Soul God in the Path of Souls; a Void God in the Mind God Tao; a Martial Art God in the Martial Path; a Blood God in Body Refinement. They are all differentiations of the will of the self’s Origin, and after they exist independently, they possess their own selves. Though they originate from the same source, the differences between them are vast. How can they merge into one? Forced integration will only lead to immense conflict and self­destruction.”

“Moreover, how do you plan to integrate the inner worlds of mind, soul, martial arts, and body together?”

“To merge the four types of divinity and the four vast and incomparable powers, what kind of terrifying control is required? How will you resolve the conflicts between them? The slightest misstep will result in only one outcome: death.”

“There have been many attempts throughout history, yet only one in ten thousand survives.”

“Even if successful, the conflict of powers would cause immense harm to oneself, effectively cutting off all prospects of advancement!”

“To attempt integration at the Demigod Realm is to tread a path beyond comprehension, beyond realms, and beyond all common sense,” Hong Ling added, shaking her head.

“Earlier you mentioned there’s a chance for me to reach the Upper God Realm directly. Without integrating the systems, how could I possibly leap across so many realms?” Jiang Ming looked straight at her.

Playing with a strand of hair by her ear, Hong Ling curled her lips into a smile, “You can’t integrate all four kinds, but integrating two is possible, although it is very, very difficult.”

“If two can be integrated, then four definitely can be as well,” Jiang Ming stated lightly. “But I am certain that merely integrating two systems’ powers will definitely not be enough to reach an Upper God’s standing.”

Nodding with her thumb raised, Hong Ling said, “The path of integration? It’s the unrivaled method of transcending levels in one’s cultivation, although the difficulty is a thousand times greater than that of cultivating a single system. However, among the geniuses of the super-dimensional cosmos, there is absolutely a chance of success, after all, the opportunities there surpass those of this world by a billionfold. Divine artifacts, Divine Pills, the inheritance of supreme gods, and countless others.”

“The Super Dimensional Talent War offers such great opportunities?” Jiang Ming frowned. “I’ve seen a powerful figure who escaped from such a talent war, yet he possessed no Divine Artifacts.”

“Nine out of ten were trash eliminated,” Hong Ling said dismissively. “The Multidimensional Cosmic Genius War is filled with all kinds of mighty powers and possibilities. Though few manage to escape, it’s not impossible. After all, for some powerful beings, letting a remnant soul slip away might be done on a whim.”

Jiang Ming fell silent.

Yet he continued to stare at her.

Sighing, Hong Ling seemed to understand Jiang Ming’s thoughts, “You possess the strength to Suppress the same generation and pride in your bones, and you’ve cultivated the Four Elements to the limit of the mortal universe. You have grand ambitions, and without even asking, I know you want to walk the path of the Four Elements Integration to force your way through cultivation. It’s a correct path, an absolutely correct path, but I truly didn’t want you to know about it.”

“Why not?” Jiang Ming asked, puzzled.

“Because of those who have walked this path, since ancient times, across countless mortal universes and including the God Realm, I only know of one who has truly succeeded,” Hong Ling sighed softly. “Just imagine how immense the difficulty must be, full of randomness.”

“After all, if the Divine Realm, with its powerful Divine Spirits, could easily succeed on this path, they would have used endless resources and peerless grand methods to forcefully create success. But what’s the outcome?

“I only know of one who did,” she expressed with sincerity.

“Brother Jiang, I really don’t want you to choose this path.”

“Even with the integration of two systems and my accumulated knowledge, even after making thorough preparations, without great destiny, you would likely fail.”

“The way of integration belongs to the taboo powers.”

“The Four Elements is a taboo within taboos; it seems even the highest order is interfering, not allowing success.”

Hong Ling was utterly heartfelt.

Jiang Ming fell silent.

He possessed the Eye of Heavenly Mandate and the way of Cause and Effect within himself, able to perceive the veracity in the other’s words, which filled him with a certain amount of despair.

Despite his defiance of the heavens, harboring many unparalleled talents, could he really compare to the most exceptional Tianjiao to emerge over millions of years?

Could he compare to the long-inherited Divine Children within the God Realm?

He was confident, yet not arrogant to that extent.

“Let’s take one step at a time,”

Jiang Ming could only suppress the multitude of thoughts, staring at the other party before suddenly saying, “In the battle just now, you shouldn’t have been easily defeated; even if you were no match for me, you shouldn’t have fallen so swiftly. At least, you should have some absolute life-saving measures, even when facing the creatures of the Holy City. After all, being a goddess who descends to the mortal world, your background must be incredibly complex; otherwise, you couldn’t descend so easily.”

“I knew I couldn’t keep it from you,” Hong Ling smiled. “When you first came out of the Chessboard Artifact, I already had high hopes for you. Here I am, testing out your capabilities, and indeed, you did not disappoint me. A test is good enough. If I had really brought out all my trump cards, we wouldn’t be probing, but turning into mortal enemies.”

As she spoke, she looked into the distance, her eyes filled with shock, “What a stratagem!”

“What a stratagem!” Jiang Ming also looked over, his eyes flashing coldly, “It’s too cruel. Someone like you?”

“No!” Hong Ling shook her head. “Because it’s contemptible.”

Jiang Ming fell silent.

He saw that at the end of the sky, a Peerless Great Array had appeared, previously unnoticed, but now successfully set up, which alerted both him and Hong Ling to its existence.

It was an array laid upon the foundation of great cities, and once activated, would use the creatures of each city as a blood sacrifice to unleash earth- shattering might.

The target was the State City.

“It’s probably not the Holy City; thus, it must be the Descenders,” Jiang Ming conjectured, turning to Hong Ling, “Once the Four Elements are successfully merged, what realm will be reached?”

“It should be the Heavenly God.”

“Heavenly God?”

“A Divine Spirit surpassing an Upper God, commanding reverence even in the God Realm,” Hong Ling said. “I assume perfect fusion is required for a transformative leap to that state. Don’t ask any more; I really don’t know the details.”

Jiang Ming was speechless.

Hong Ling pointed into the distance, “Aren’t you going to take action?”

“It’s time to act!” Jiang Ming stood up, releasing his Holy Heart, and casually tossed it into the Prefecture City.

As for the suppressed Divine Soul? It dispersed the moment it was taken into his Inner World.

This was the real reason he hadn’t killed Hong Ling.

Jiang Ming soared into the sky, only to hear his master’s voice transmission: “The Great Array set up with a blood sacrifice must be punished. Regardless, the creatures here are people too, just like you and me. Brother Jiang, exterminate these cold-blooded beings, leave none alive.”

“Don’t worry!” Jiang Ming nodded.
