Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 42 - EXPLORATION (1)

Solanky spat out the blood he had been holding back. Now that his memories had fully returned, he possessed the control and comprehension of a Perfect Source God, though he still lacked the energy to fully support that level of mastery. A drop of blood floated before him alongside the corpse of the unknown being. Forming a series of intricate seals, he began chanting in his native tongue, a language completely foreign to this Infinite Source World. He grasped the floating drop of blood and pressed it onto the exact spot on the corpse's chest where his palm print remained.

The instant his blood touched the body, it was no longer annihilated. Instead, it slowly fused into the corpse and began flowing throughout every part of it. Solanky closed his eyes, focusing his entire consciousness on the circulating blood. What he discovered left him utterly astonished. Unlike ordinary beings, who possessed a heart, a core, a miniature universe, or even a Source World, the mysterious corpse contained none of those. Its body was completely devoid of any known source of power.

Recalling the repossession technique, Solanky remembered that to claim this body, he first had to use his blood essence to create a new core before absorbing the remnant energies hidden within every inch of the corpse. Without hesitation, he followed the technique precisely. His blood gradually became one with the body as countless strands of dormant energy surged into it. At the same time, his soul was nourished and strengthened by the process.

Thirty-five billion years passed within the forbidden space before the new body was finally complete.

As soon as the process ended, Solanky sensed that the body contained immeasurable power. Even the aura of the current owner of the Infinite Source Realm seemed insignificant compared to it. His original body rose and slowly circled the newly created one, carefully observing every detail. He noticed that its appearance had subtly changed. The countless dim stars embedded across its body now shone brilliantly, and the pressure it naturally emitted was enough to make even him shudder.

"It won't be long before I exact my revenge on that old man," Solanky muttered. "But first, I need to understand the origin and abilities of this body and determine whether I can truly merge with it. From this day onward, I shall call this body Supremo."

To prevent anyone from discovering it, Solanky left Supremo resting at the center of the supercluster before returning to the outside world.

The moment he emerged, he found Elena and The Voice waiting for him in the distance. Both of them wore puzzled expressions. They could no longer perceive Solanky's cultivation level, which could only mean one thing: his realm had reached a level equal to theirs.

Completely absorbed by the overwhelming power of Supremo, Solanky initially failed to notice the change in himself. When he finally examined his own cultivation, he was startled to discover that he had reached the mid-stage of the Source God Realm.

He immediately sat down cross-legged to investigate the cause of such an incredible breakthrough. It did not take long before he found the answer. Through his connection with Supremo, the body was continuously sharing a fraction of its boundless Source Energy with him.

Closing his eyes once more, Solanky's consciousness linked with Supremo.

Within moments, he understood several astonishing truths.

Karma and causality held no influence over Supremo. The body was not bound by any known cultivation system or method of measuring power. Its very existence was meant to defy established cultivation ranks and even alter them.

Although deeply shocked, Solanky quickly accepted the truth.

With a wave of his hand, the Temple of Destiny flew out of Elena's space and landed before him. He stretched out his hand, and a sphere of treasure drifted into his palm. Contained within it was the wisp of Perfect Source God spiritual energy he had left behind.

The moment he merged with it, the silver armor instantly fused with his previously sealed spiritual energy, becoming perfectly synchronized with his soul.

Solanky rose to his feet and clenched his fist.

In an instant, brilliant silver armor covered his entire body. Unlike before, he felt no burden whatsoever. Every ounce of its power answered directly to his will, free of all previous restraints.

While fully armored, his combat power had reached the level of a Perfect Source God.

Satisfied, Solanky nodded before thanking The Voice and Elena for faithfully carrying out everything according to his arrangements.

The silver armor dissolved back into his body. He then stepped out of the Third Forbidden Space, instructing Elena and The Voice to guard the area for the next five thousand years. There was somewhere he needed to go, and an old debt he intended to repay. The devil responsible for annihilating the Bayoka Clan and murdering his mother would finally face judgment.

Taking a single step, Solanky vanished from the forbidden space within the God Realm.

The next instant, he appeared within Earth's atmosphere in the year 2124.

Earth had changed beyond recognition.

Countless cities floated high above the skies, while the lands below were reserved primarily for agriculture and livestock. Only a handful of restricted regions remained untouched, serving as habitats for mutated beasts found nowhere else in existence.

Human civilization had divided into two distinct paths. One relied upon highly advanced technology, while the other pursued the arts of magic.

Dressed in a dark gray robe with a hood concealing his face, Solanky stood silently in the wilderness. Every nearby beast instinctively fled or hid the moment they sensed his presence.

Closing his eyes, he spread his perception across the entire planet.

Within moments, the breath, karma, causality, and location of every living being on Earth were engraved into his memory.

"There you are," he whispered.

Looking toward a distant location, Solanky vanished.

He reappeared above a small city where the person he sought was peacefully asleep.

It was a dark-skinned girl named Elisa.

Ignoring the magical runes protecting her home, Solanky effortlessly passed through the enchanted walls. Against his level of power, the defensive barriers were no different from ordinary air.

Standing beside her bed, he smiled gently.

Reaching out, he touched Elisa's forehead, silently gifting her the magical powers of the Ancient Devil God Race, along with portions of Elena's abilities and his own magical inheritance.

Taking one final look at her, he softly said,

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you during the invasion. But don't worry. I will make the Devil Realm repay this debt tenfold. On the eighteenth birthday of this new body, the powers I've entrusted to you will gradually awaken. I hope you become the most powerful mage throughout all the Infinite Source Worlds."

With that, Solanky disappeared.

He reappeared in the void of space above Earth. Forming a series of seals, he erased every trace of karma connected to his visit. He also concealed Elisa's newfound powers so perfectly that no being, not even the owner of the Infinite Source World, could trace any karmic connection between the two of them.

His figure vanished once more.

This time, he appeared within the void separating the God Realm from the Devil Realm.

His cold gaze pierced across thousands of light-years without obstruction until it settled upon a single knight hidden deep within the Devil Realm.

That knight was the one responsible for the catastrophe that had befallen the Bayoka Clan.

Without a word, Solanky stepped forward.

Space and time folded beneath his feet as though they no longer existed.

The next instant, he appeared directly above the skies of the planet where the knight had been hiding.
