Solanky looked at the vast supercluster before them and said,
"This supercluster was left behind by two Source Gods as an inheritance. They sought to transcend the Supreme Source World and attain an even greater realm of power."
Star God shook his head.
"We can discuss that later. What I really want to know is how you elevated our strength to such an unprecedented level. Also, why does your own aura seem slightly stronger than before, yet still weaker than ours?"
Without answering immediately, Solanky walked farther into the distance.
With a wave of his hand, a massive Horde Nest appeared before them.
The moment it materialized, the Blue Star Team felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon them.
Despite their tremendous increase in strength, every one of them was forced onto one knee.
Solanky smiled before waving his hand again.
The enormous nest instantly shrank and disappeared into his body.
Beast stared at him with a horrified expression.
"Ghost... what... what is that thing? It looks like a Forsaken Horde Nest, but the pressure it emits is far greater than even our sect master's."
Solanky calmly replied,
"That is the origin of your newfound power."
He paused briefly before continuing.
"Inside that nest are one thousand corpses belonging to Creation Gods and Devils of Destruction. I was entrusted with selecting suitable successors to inherit their power and techniques."
Light Seeker frowned.
"Why were you entrusted with such an enormous responsibility?"
Solanky's expression became serious.
"It is because the Bad Omen responsible for their downfall has already been repossessed by Old Man Zenom. I estimate it will take him roughly ten thousand years to completely take over that body."
He looked at each of his teammates.
"The Doomsday Clock of the God Realm now has only eight thousand five hundred years remaining before he begins wreaking havoc across the God Realm."
"You are now the final line of defense of the God Realm."
"And more importantly..."
"...the guardians of this special space."
The atmosphere immediately became heavy.
Solanky continued,
"You all now possess Perfect-Grade Bloodlines. Aside from the Primordial Ancient Dragon Emperor, you are the strongest beings currently existing in the God Realm."
"Take this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with your newfound strength."
The members of the Blue Star Team immediately sat down.
Although they had surpassed Solanky in raw cultivation, they still regarded him as their leader and trusted his judgment completely.
Solanky increased the time acceleration to one hundred times.
That was the greatest acceleration his current cultivation could sustain.
The Blue Star Team cultivated within the forbidden space for one thousand years.
Outside, only ten days passed.
After completely mastering their new abilities, Blade Emperor stood up.
He slowly walked toward the distant supercluster.
With every step he took, the surrounding space was pierced and sliced apart by invisible sword intent.
He laughed loudly.
"This is incredible!"
Solanky smiled faintly.
"Your strength will continue increasing over time. For now, focus on comprehending the mysteries contained within the supercluster before you."
"It will guide you toward becoming a Creation God."
"Although your physical bodies have already reached the Creation and Destruction level, your understanding of the laws remains insufficient."
"You must learn to merge the old cultivation path with the new one."
The others nodded seriously.
They sat before the supercluster and immersed themselves in the inheritances and techniques left behind by their respective ancient devil-gods.
Another thousand years passed inside the forbidden space.
By then, every member of the Blue Star Team had reached the Half-Step Creation and Destruction Realm.
One after another, they stood and respectfully bowed toward Solanky.
Each of them understood that without him, reaching the Seventh-Dimensional God Realm would probably have been the limit of their lives.
Now, they stood only half a step away from becoming Creation Gods.
Solanky raised his hand.
"Enough."
"There's no need for formalities."
"It's time for us to leave."
"The battles along the God Realm Wall are still waiting for you."
He snapped his fingers.
The time acceleration immediately decreased until one year inside equaled one day in the outside world.
Looking at everyone, he said,
"After this mission, I believe the sect will officially disband the Blue Star Team."
"From now on, none of you need to conceal your true strength."
"I doubt even Old Man Zenom will discover that you've inherited the same powers he once sought."
Then he looked toward Blade Emperor.
"And Blade Emperor..."
"Try not to show off too much."
He then turned toward Beast God and Star God.
"Keep an eye on him for me."
The two of them laughed before nodding.
Blade Emperor simply grinned without denying it.
At that moment, Thunder King stretched out his hand.
A miniature universe suddenly condensed above his palm.
Everyone stared at him in astonishment.
Only Solanky remained calm.
He immediately understood what this meant.
Thunder King had completely stepped into the realm of a Creation God.
Thunder King's face was filled with excitement.
He slowly closed his eyes and spread his divine senses throughout the surrounding space.
The instant his consciousness reached the core of the supercluster, his expression changed dramatically.
He staggered backward several steps.
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
"What... what is that thing resting inside the core of the supercluster?"
The others immediately extended their own divine senses.
Moments later, every one of them reacted exactly the same way.
They all stared toward the center of the supercluster in horror.
Solanky calmly answered,
"That is my second body."
"I'm nurturing it with the energy of this supercluster."
"With the current time acceleration, it will require more than thirty-six billion years before it fully matures."
Tee's eyes widened.
"That's still well over a million years in the outside world."
He frowned.
"Wouldn't Old Man Zenom already be wreaking havoc across the God Realm by then?"
"And how can that body already be so powerful?"
"Even while it's still incubating, I can already sense strength comparable to Thunder King's, perhaps even slightly greater."
Solanky smiled.
"By the time Zenom emerges..."
"...this original body of mine alone will be enough to deal with him."
"And if the invading demons arrive as well..."
"I'll handle them too."
He looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"For now, keep my avatar a secret."
The Blue Star Team nodded solemnly.
"You have our word."
Solanky nodded.
He trusted every one of them.
"Let's return to the Sky Hybrid Sect."
"We've already spent nearly twenty days in the God Realm."
He looked at Blade Emperor.
"When we leave this place..."
"...you're free to make as grand an entrance as you want."
Blade Emperor's eyes immediately lit up.
"Ghost, you're the best!"
Everyone burst into laughter as Blade Emperor enthusiastically began planning exactly how magnificent his appearance would be.
Meanwhile, inside the ancestral hall of the Sky Hybrid Sect, the sect masters, elders, and invited guests were discussing how the members of the Blue Star Team should be reassigned after their current mission.
One of the elders from the Sword Heart Sect suddenly asked,
"Where are the members of the Blue Star Team now?"
The moment those words left his mouth, an overwhelming invisible pressure descended from the heavens.
Everyone's expressions changed instantly.
Without hesitation, they rushed out of the hall.
Their first thought was that the devils had launched another invasion.
Their second was even more terrifying.
An elder of the Sky Hybrid Sect muttered nervously,
"Could Old Man Zenom still harbor resentment toward us? Did he refuse to wait for the ten-thousand-year period to end?"
The moment they emerged into the open sky, they froze.
High above them floated a gigantic miniature universe spanning nearly one hundred million light-years.
Countless blades revolved within it, shredding the surrounding space into countless fragments.
The terrifying sword intent caused every sect master present to frown.
A lone figure slowly descended from within the blade-filled universe.
Countless tiny swords revolved around his body.
With every step he took, it seemed as though space itself was being cut apart.
The Sect Master of the Sword Heart Sect narrowed his eyes.
"This aura..."
"...belongs to someone who is already half a step into the Creation and Destruction Realm."
He drew in a deep breath.
"We're no match for such a person."
The descending figure finally stopped in midair.
His sharp gaze swept across every expert gathered below.
Then, in a single step, he appeared before the Ancestor of the Sky Hybrid Sect.
He respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Ancestor."
The elders and the visiting sect masters were completely stunned.
The Ancestor of the Sky Hybrid Sect stared at him with wide eyes.
"This..."
"...is impossible."
