The Growth of a God

Chapter 16: High-dimensional Concept (1/3)


"Huh? What's that?"

The Crow Tengu, who was being besieged not far away, also noticed the change in Xiao Gu.

After all, that trio is the "Protagonist of Destiny," so how could the Crow Tengu not focus all its attention on them?

However, precisely because it was constantly watching the trio, the Crow Tengu found it even more incomprehensible what this change in Xiao Gu actually signified.

Because in countless timelines, Xiao Gu never took out a similar skull.

Of course, this wasn't actually surprising.

Because as a supreme existence transcending the dimension of Life — the True God possesses uniqueness throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Even the remnants left behind after its fall possess similar characteristics on the material plane.

As long as it hasn't been seen by the Crow Tengu from other timelines and plundered as a "trophy."

Then that skull of Xiao Gu is unique across countless timelines, having a "First Encounter Kill" attribute to a Demigod like the Crow Tengu who has initially mastered the Power of Time.

At this pivotal moment of Ascension to Divinity, the Crow Tengu simply has no way to trace back the timeline again, unlike before.

Or rather, the Crow Tengu thinks that even if it traced back the timeline again, the trio of "Protagonists of Destiny" would certainly pull out other new artifacts to restrain it.

This is a lesson learned from the Crow Tengu's countless prior timeline retracements.

"So what if you possess two Divine Relics?"

"So what if you have the protection of the Supreme Elder?"

"Becoming a God is originally a 'path of no return' for the one who goes it alone, let alone I've already walked to the end of this road!"

The enormous Crow Tengu exerted its strength again, sending nearby Ascenders flying, and its roar echoed through the sky.

The Crow Tengu does not regret its choice.

Every Ascender is prepared to go all out before choosing their path.

Since it chose to obtain the "shortcut" to Ascension from the Godslayer Civilization, it inevitably faces the disdain of the two supremacies of the Divine Fall Realm.

In contrast, it is considered quite rule-abiding that the two supremacies did not send the gods to intervene personally.

From the Crow Tengu's standpoint today, it simply cannot demand too much.

"Before the end?"

At this moment, Xiao Gu, who looked like skin and bones, suddenly let out a disdainful chuckle.

This was not Xiao Gu's character and style, yet it looked so... perfect appearing on Xiao Gu at this moment?

Yes, now Xiao Gu could only be described as "perfect" to define its state.

"You..."

With pupils suddenly constricted, the Crow Tengu abruptly sensed a hair-raising meaning.

Before the Crow Tengu could react to what this meant, it saw a familiar object in the other's hand — a time-pocket-watch full of sci-fi style.

"Time Pocket Watch!?"

Instinctively looking down at its own palm, the Crow Tengu suddenly discovered that the watch in its hand had disappeared.

"How did you do that!?"

Raising its head to look at Xiao Gu once again, the Crow Tengu finally understood why it was feeling this hair-raising sensation.

Because the feeling from the other at this moment was exactly the same as that from the Godslayer who appeared in front of it back then.

.........................................................

At the same time, in the huge pit of the Undead Camp that had been utterly ignored.

The supermassive entity suppressing the Immortal Stone seemed to have sensed something; the originally leisurely rotating black sphere halted for a moment without warning.

"Descent of the Saint?"

With a slightly incredulous note in its voice, the joy within the supermassive entity's heart had not yet surged before it was quickly denied.

Because in this world with a chaotic timeline, no God dares to risk themselves.

"So it's merely a Demigod that has only touched the 'High-dimensional Concept'?"

The black sphere spun once more, and its voice timely transmitted into the ears of the Immortal Stone.

[High-dimensional Concept?]

Striving to expand its vision outward, the eyes of the Immortal Stone seemed to traverse the timeline and saw the duel between Xiao Gu and the Crow Tengu.

With a bit of surprise, with a bit of realization...

With just one glance, the Immortal Stone instantly grasped the essence of Xiao Gu's ability.

Xiao Gu could ignore all the defenses of the Crow Tengu and silently take away the Time Pocket Watch from the other's hand, not because its Power genuinely surpassed the Half-step Ascension of the Crow Tengu.

What truly allowed Xiao Gu to achieve this was because, at a certain moment, it made its Life essence infinitely close to that of a True God.

If the World of Fallen Gods is likened to a canvas.

Then Xiao Gu's recent action was equivalent to briefly leaping outside the canvas and interfering with the world within it from outside the painting.

Freed from the constraints of all world rules, the concepts of space and time are but illusions.

Taking a watch from a lower-dimensional space with high-dimensional means.

For Xiao Gu at that moment, it was no more difficult than a simple breath.

[If I could also ascend dimensions, wouldn't I be able to break free from this 'seal'?]

A thought flashed in its mind, and the Immortal Stone seemed to have found a way to remove the seal.

The black hole time effect of the supermassive entity affects only the material level's time.

If it could elevate its Life to a higher dimension like Xiao Gu, it would naturally become immune to the negative impact of lower-dimensional space.

This is the essence of the Gods — unobservable, unpredictable.

The question arises, how exactly should the Immortal Stone complete its final step to Ascension?

After all, the Immortal Stone doesn't have Xiao Gu's "head-switching" ability to temporarily turn into a high-dimensional being with the Divine Skull's help.

[Do you truly want to become a God?]

Just as the Immortal Stone pondered how to escape this predicament, a voice appeared deep within its mind.

No, that wasn't a single voice!

That was five overlapping voices.

Due to the high similarity and overlap of the five voices, the Immortal Stone felt as though it had heard just a single voice.

[Who are you!?]

Without responding to the Immortal Stone's questioning, the five overlapping voices spoke again.

[You have actually long satisfied the 'dimension elevation' criterion; it's just that you instinctively refuse to become a God.]

[Because you know, once you become a God, you must leave the Divine Fall Realm.]

[You don't want to leave the Divine Fall Realm so soon; you feel you haven't completed your mission yet.]

The five overlapping voices hit the Immortal Stone's internal thoughts right on and stirred its usual calm and stable demeanor into anger.

[Who on earth are you!?]

Facing the Immortal Stone's irate outburst, the five overlapping voices finally laughed.

[We are 'Longevity,' 'Wealth and Honor,' 'Kangning,' 'Good Virtue,' 'Good End,' and the five dimensions hidden behind the world.]
