My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 596: Chapter 366: Advancement to the Divine Tier

Even before they were driven out, as members of the Lower Caste, they rarely had the privilege of enjoying a hot bath in the Underground Cities of the South Asian Subcontinent.

Now that they were in Los Santos, they ate and drank their fill every day. Food was plentiful, and soaking in a hot bath after a long day of farm work was simply a pleasure.

Meanwhile, Kanna and her team arrived, delivering a large quantity of high-yield crop seeds.

When this mission came up, Kanna had volunteered for it, insisting that she and her team be the ones to carry it out. She had heard that Los Santos had taken in eight or nine million wanderers from her former homeland and was deeply moved, wanting to see it with her own eyes.

Li Xiang naturally granted her small request, telling her to be careful on the journey.

After Kanna arrived with a large amount of synthetically produced starch and high-yield crop seeds, she saw that it was all true. Her gratitude and admiration for Li Xiang couldn’t help but grow even stronger.

From now on, these people of the Lower Caste from her homeland would be able to live stable lives. Moreover, Los Santos was managed on par with City No. 03, meaning there was no discrimination. At least in terms of personal dignity, everyone was equal.

With an increased population and a new drive for production, all of Los Santos was brimming with vitality.

Of course, it wasn’t perfectly harmonious; conflicts sometimes arose. After all, the population here was diverse. But thanks to the various measures put in place by Li Xiang and Yao Yao, these incidents didn’t cause any major negative impact.

Li Xiang comforted Yao Yao, ”This requires a process of Fusion. We just have to take it slow.”

At this time, Li Xiang was already at the Peak of Tier Twenty-Eight. Just as he was helping Yao Yao get Los Santos on the right track and stabilize it, and was preparing to return to City No. 03 with Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the others, a premonition suddenly washed over him, forcing him to immediately enter secluded cultivation.

He hid himself deep underground, with Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui standing guard to protect him.

About three days later, within one of the ten Spirit Pool Springs in Li Xiang’s body, spiritual light suddenly surged, giving birth to a small fish.

A Dao Spirit Fish—the mark of the Divine Tier.

It was also called the Meteor Divine Tribulation Realm, which contained ten minor realms, corresponding to Tiers 29 through 38. The birth of each Spirit Fish signified advancing one minor realm.

Li Xiang and his group had used the Heart Image Judgment Instrument to interrogate the captured Holy Son and Holy Daughter, learning of more Cultivation Realms and their names. They even knew some of the secrets of the Cyan Spirit Star Realm.

However, their knowledge was limited. After all, those at the Saint Tier (the Holy Spirit Revelation Realm) were not considered particularly powerful Cultivators in the Cyan Spirit Star Realm.

The lifespan in the Meteor Divine Tribulation Realm was long, reaching several thousand years. In contrast, the previous Saint Tier (the Holy Spirit Revelation Realm) only offered a lifespan of several hundred years, a thousand at the absolute most.

Crossing a major Realm meant a tenfold increase, so to speak.

As for the even higher Moon Wheel Divine King Realm (Tiers 39-48), the lifespan was tens of thousands of years.

Becoming a Divine King wasn’t something achievable through simple Cultivation. This Realm required one to merge with a moon, satellite, or asteroid. Though the universe was vast, the number of such celestial bodies was still finite. The satellites and asteroids in prosperous Star Realms had long been claimed, leaving only two paths: forcefully seizing one or ”pioneering deep space.”

’A Divine King... with my current strength, it seems I could compete for that.’ Li Xiang raised his head, his Nine Nether Falsehood-Breaking Gaze seemingly piercing the void to see the scene upon the Moon.

However, the end of the year was approaching, and Li Xiang had only just broken into the Divine Tier. His Realm was not yet stable, and his preparations were insufficient, so he decided to return to City No. 03 to cultivate in seclusion for a while longer before making any moves.

Furthermore, to merge with the Planet Will and become a Planet Master, the ”resonance” process alone would take a very long time. The larger the planet, the longer it would take. A satellite or asteroid might require several years, a major planet like Earth could take decades, and a star like the Sun might need several centuries.

Li Xiang had never experienced this himself, and the information from Su Xuanji and the other members of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter was all hearsay, so he didn’t know the exact duration.

What’s more, for an opportunity like this, there would undoubtedly be many peers coveting it from the sidelines, ready to fight. Success would not come easily.

Li Xiang carefully examined his breakthrough. In addition to the birth of the Dao Spirit Fish, a Lifebound Superpower Rune had also manifested in his Spirit Pool Spring. This rune was of the Spiritual Attribute and was named ”Spiritual Abyss Sacred Seal.”

At this moment, his Spiritual Power was incredibly strong, as boundless and vast as an abyssal ocean. It could be described as the state of ”Divine Communication.”

This Superpower Rune, like the Earth Pivot World Record, was a Great Inscription that contained a great many Lifebound Skills.

For example, for spiritual defense, there were skills like ”Spiritual Abyss Barrier,” ”Heart and Soul Saint Armor,” and ”Purifying World Mantra.” For offense, there were ”Divine Thought Piercing,” ”Soul Domain Suppression,” and ”Illusory Sea Tide.” There were also support and special skills, such as ”All Things Are Clear,” ”All Living Beings’ Heart Chain,” ”Rebirth Soul Crossing,” ”Celestial Destiny Preview,” and ”Divine Power Brand.”

After reaching the Divine Tier, his Superpowers gradually became more comprehensive, shoring up many of his previous weaknesses.

”Congratulations on reaching the Divine Tier!” Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui came forward together, embracing Li Xiang from his left and right.

They were naturally envious. The Divine Tier granted a lifespan of several thousand years. If they couldn’t reach the Divine Tier, they might have to depart after just a few hundred years. In that case, they wouldn’t be able to accompany Li Xiang to the very end.

At this thought, while happy for Li Xiang, both felt a little dejected. They were aware of their own aptitude; they weren’t sure they could break through to the Divine Tier by themselves.

Li Xiang comforted them, ”Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I’ll never leave you behind!”

”We knew you were loyal and cared deeply for us.” Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were delighted and gave him sweet kisses.

After returning to City No. 03, Jiang Cai’Er was also overjoyed to learn that Li Xiang had stepped into the Divine Tier. Despite her busy schedule, she took the time to tie on an apron and personally cook a feast for him at home.
