My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

The most frightening thing for others turned out to be what saved me.

At the same time, Xue Dili understood why others feared the power of the Void. This power essentially ignored any resistance and authority, devouring directly. According to Hassan, it’s the strongest power but also the one with the greatest cost.

And after returning to Earth this time, the next moment, Earth Consciousness pulled him into a private conversation space.

Xue Dili thought it was still about the Void issues. He was just about to kneel in apology when his mom suddenly said, "Did you eat the fruit?"

Xue Dili: "?"

If he wanted to eat the fruit, he could have done it long ago. He just didn’t want to be twisted by the fruit and become one of those apostles who would stop at nothing for it.

As Xue Dili was about to retort, Earth Consciousness suddenly said, "You really didn’t eat it? Indeed, you didn’t, but why do you have such immense spirituality? Even more than Blington, who ate the fruit. This spirituality even helped you to suppress the side effects of the Void."

Xue Dili once again slowly carved out a question mark.

Spirituality, could it be the Mimic Venerable King?

After all, in the entire cosmos, "spirituality" is ethereal to speak of, but it’s precisely the power of the Venerable King. The closer a being gets to the Venerable King, the more aligned they are with the concept of "beauty," and their spirituality grows.

The Divine Tree requires humans to bear fruit, and apostles rely on the fruit to become stronger. Essentially, they’re all plundering spirituality to get closer to the Venerable King.

They know the Venerable King’s path to transcendence, so everything they do progresses along the Venerable King’s original path, feeling their way across the river by following the Venerable King’s path.

In essence, the Interstellar Corps is the same, but its methods and means are completely different. The Interstellar Corps chose to directly follow the original deeds of the Venerable King and the fragments left in the cosmos. After spending countless years, they cultivated a Mimic Venerable King.

The Mimic Venerable King resembles a clone of the Venerable King or a descendant. Everyone progresses according to the Venerable King’s past deeds, culminating around the Mimic Venerable King, leading to a completely different approach.

It’s like a Saint who, after ascension by saving humanity’s suffering, is replicated by descendants wanting to recreate his ascension experience.

Some chose to save people, absorbing others’ suffering, planning to ascend by the same deeds and path.

Another group chose to devour those once saved by the Saint, thereby absorbing the power left in them by the Saint, to ascend.

Although the goal of ascension is the same, the methods are entirely different, diametrically opposed to each other. This is the Interstellar Corps and the Mist Council now.

It’s like two sides of the same coin — one thought becomes a god, another becomes a demon.

And now, mom said it seems like he ate the fruit, could it be the Mimic Venerable King?

After all, he had directly encountered the Mimic Venerable King, the closest being to the Venerable King in the entire cosmos, almost like the Venerable King’s clone or offspring. His spirituality growing might just be normal, right?

Forget it, Xue Dili found it difficult to keep spinning stories.

He roughly recounted his experiences. Mom became silent, not probing further, not even questioning the Void’s corruption as much as before.

"Just do as that elder said, do what you should do, do what makes you happy, and live happily," mom smiled, seemingly lowering expectations for Xue Dili. "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. No matter what, I’ve got your back."

"Uh..." Xue Dili felt a little uneasy.

His mom used to be like a typical Chinese parent, but now suddenly relaxed, Xue Dili found it hard to adjust.

"Okay, I understand." Xue Dili scratched his head and suddenly said, "By the way, I recently collaborated with the Mimic Venerable King on a cross-world chat group project. It’s in testing now, and I’m the administrator. Would you like to help with testing?"

Xue Dili quickly showed off the research results he recently achieved with the Interstellar Corps. Even if it was just an early test version of a chat group, Xue Dili felt a bit proud, almost like he traveled back to 1998 to snatch a certain company’s origin story.

["Great Sage (Second Generation)" invites "Blue Star" to join the chat group]

Instantly, the previously lively chat group fell silent.

Earth, just entering the chat group, began examining this creation, and immediately asked Xue Dili directly, "Using subspace to transmit information for cosmic communication?"

"Uh, yes." Xue Dili responded to Earth Consciousness while looking puzzled at the 99+ chat records.

He only hadn’t checked the group for a few minutes, right?

"It’s nice to have this communication channel. Alright, you go rest first. I can figure this out slowly myself."

...

Xue Dili didn’t continue intervening; after all, he knew his mom was a tier above other world-conscious entities.

Unlike those who had never encountered subspace before, Earth Consciousness had been probing into subspace for a long time. From providing subspace to accumulating a good amount of assets from it, mom wasn’t entirely clueless about subspace.

Maybe mom only understood this in the recent few thousand years, but for humanity, that’s the change from the Divine Era to the Human Era.
