After defeating Zenom, the Blue Star Team transmitted the complete details of the battle to Solanky before returning to the headquarters of the God Realm.
The Grand Ancestors were overjoyed.
Each of them personally expressed their respect and gratitude to the members of the Blue Star Team for eliminating the threat that had haunted the God Realm for countless years.
To commemorate their achievement, a grand celebration was held.
The names of the Blue Star Team echoed throughout both the God Realm and the Devil Realm.
Countless experts gathered to witness the ceremony honoring the heroes who had slain Old Man Zenom.
The news shocked the upper echelons of every major force.
The clans and planets from which the Blue Star Team originated were thrown into celebration, especially those within the Star Realm, where both Star God and Starix hailed from.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the lake inside the third forbidden space, at the very center of the supercluster, Solanky sat cross-legged before his second body.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
He had officially broken through to the Dimensional God Realm.
After Seth removed the seal suppressing his cultivation following Zenom's death, Solanky's true power surged to the Ninth-Dimensional God Realm.
Furthermore, after absorbing countless miniature universes, every breath he exhaled carried an incomparably dense mysterious aura.
Although he remained at the Ninth-Dimensional God Realm, the purity of his aura was already comparable to that of a Tenth-Dimensional God who had taken half a step into the Mysterious Realm.
Before him floated an enormous egg-like cocoon.
Within it rested the second body he had been nurturing.
It continuously absorbed the endless energy released by the countless worlds and realms contained within the supercluster.
This second body had originally been created using the drop of blood essence Solanky had left behind at the supercluster's core.
His purpose had been to buy himself more time by utilizing the core's terrifying time acceleration to study ancient techniques and comprehend higher laws.
Every time he activated the core's maximum acceleration, however, he was forced to sacrifice half of his consciousness to maintain the process.
During his years of secluded cultivation, he eventually discovered an ancient method of creating a true second body.
Once completed, this body could temporarily or permanently merge with his original body, multiplying his strength to unimaginable heights.
Now that he had become a Dimensional God, Solanky could finally utilize the supercluster's time acceleration to its fullest extent.
He immediately adjusted it.
One thousand years inside now equaled a single day in the outside world.
Ten thousand years gradually passed within the God Realm.
During that period, the God Realm steadily reclaimed many of the territories previously occupied by the devils and the other invading races.
By the twentieth thousandth year, Seth had successfully broken through to become a Source Devil-God.
Soon afterward, he departed from their Source World and journeyed to another Source World within the same Infinite Source World.
Before leaving, Seth entrusted Solanky with numerous priceless treasures he had collected during his countless years traveling across different Source Worlds.
Their sole purpose was to aid the construction of Solanky's second body.
Among those treasures was an extraordinarily mysterious corpse.
Its skin was covered in pitch-black scales that shimmered like a sky filled with stars.
Its appearance closely resembled that of an ordinary human from Earth.
However, a third eye rested silently upon its forehead.
Even more mysterious was its origin.
The corpse did not belong to their Infinite Source World.
According to legend, even the First Ancestor of the Ancient Devil-Gods had merely discovered it drifting through the endless void.
Its true origin remained unknown.
Solanky decided to use the mysterious corpse as the vessel for his second body.
He attempted to fuse his blood essence with it.
The moment his Third-Grade Bloodline touched the corpse, it was instantly annihilated.
The corpse had done nothing.
Its mere aura was enough to erase his bloodline completely.
Fortunately, the First Ancestor of the Ancient Devil-Gods had anticipated that no ordinary being could merge with the corpse.
Long ago, he had recorded a special repossession method inside a Source Crystal.
Within that crystal also remained a fragment of his soul, left behind to personally guide whoever was fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, enough to inherit the mysterious corpse.
Fortunately for Solanky, he possessed far more than a single bloodline.
Within him flowed the bloodline of a Perfect Source God.
He also carried the bloodlines of numerous mythical races and divine beasts.
Among them were the bloodline of the Primordial Ancient Dragon Emperor herself and the bloodline of the First Ancestor of the Ancient Devil-Gods, secretly bestowed upon him by Seth during the inheritance of the Horde Nests.
After entering complete seclusion to cultivate his second body, Solanky severed nearly all contact with the outside world.
Only once every hundred years would he briefly reconnect before immediately returning to cultivation.
During one of those secluded periods, he finally opened the Source Crystal.
A brilliant light emerged.
Moments later, the soul fragment of the First Ancestor of the Ancient Devil-Gods appeared within the core of the supercluster.
The old ancestor silently observed Solanky.
Then his gaze shifted toward the enormous egg-like cocoon behind him.
His eyes immediately widened with surprise.
He slowly smiled.
"Remarkable."
"You possess several supreme bloodlines and extraordinary powers."
"You must be someone destined to break the shackles of our Infinite Source World."
He placed a hand upon his chest.
"I am Morogun, the First Ancestor of the Ancient Devil-God Race."
"I can already tell that one of my descendants willingly passed my bloodline essence to you without your knowledge."
"But don't worry."
"It will bring you no harm."
Solanky frowned in confusion.
He silently wondered,
"Why would Seth pass down the final legacy of the Ancient Devil-God Race to me instead of refining it himself and inheriting the complete legacy of his founding ancestor?"
Morogun quietly studied Solanky for several moments.
Then his expression suddenly changed.
"I see..."
"You are the reincarnation of that Perfect Source God."
"The one who granted my race eternal peace after our greatest calamity."
He nodded slowly.
"No wonder my descendant entrusted you with my bloodline essence."
"He wished to help you recover your former power."
The moment those words entered Solanky's ears, a deafening roar exploded inside his mind.
Boom!
Memories buried countless lifetimes ago erupted like a dormant volcano.
Fragments of his previous life flooded into his consciousness.
He staggered backward, clutching his head in agony.
An overwhelming sense of guilt washed over him.
He remembered everything.
He remembered leading his closest companion into a hopeless battle against the ruler of their Infinite Source World.
He remembered their desperate attempt to shatter the invisible shackles placed upon every living being created or captured by that supreme existence.
The battle had ended in complete defeat.
Before facing the owner of the Infinite Source World, Solanky had secretly preserved a tiny fragment of his consciousness and spiritual energy within the core of Planet Sabiru.
That single preparation had allowed him to survive.
It became the seed from which his present life was eventually reborn.
