Chapter 707 - 445: ’God’ and ’Creator
The white light in ’God’s’ eyes quickly dimmed.
The aura around its body receded, making it seem like an ordinary person.
"The source... that is... is..."
As it spoke,
its expression was one of extreme struggle.
It was as if the words it was about to say touched upon some kind of taboo, something that could not be mentioned.
However, this struggle only lasted for a second or two before it calmed down completely.
"That is the great Creator. It is He who created us.
And my mission is to maintain the balance of this world, standing on the side of humanity..."
It didn’t finish its sentence.
’God’s’ movements froze.
Cracks actually began to appear all over its body.
In that instant, a moment of clarity seemed to return to its eyes.
"I... I... Great... Creator... Please forgive me..."
An extremely terrified expression appeared on the old man’s face, the one codenamed ’God’.
But before he could finish speaking,
BANG!
his entire body exploded on the spot!
The T5 Level Alien Origin Body codenamed gn-000 God, granted the highest Divinity by the White Pagoda, died just like that.
Modification Points +100 (5%)
A line of text about the Modification Points appeared before his eyes.
This happened, of course, because Hu Qi had made a move.
He could see clearly that when this ’God’ mentioned the Creator, it was like a robot triggering its own internal self-destruct sequence.
So as not to waste the Modification Points, Hu Qi decisively struck and finished it off.
’The Modification Points are as meager as ever. It’s just a shame these so-called Alien Origin Bodies don’t have a Light of the Soul, so I can’t perform a Soul Search...’
Hu Qi gazed in the direction where ’God’ had disappeared.
A strange look flashed in his eyes.
...
「White Pagoda, Alien Origin Body Containment Chamber.」
Inside a containment pod in the deepest part of the chamber.
The figure of ’Kalu’, who had been killed, reappeared in his original spot.
This was, of course, because Hu Qi had resurrected him.
For the time being, he still needed this identity for what he planned to do next.
Hu Qi looked up at the space across from him.
The wicker chair was empty.
Although the information ’God’ provided this time was limited,
it wasn’t a complete loss.
At the very least, he had confirmed one of his suspicions.
That there was indeed a mastermind pulling the strings in this world.
This was because after he had obtained Kalu’s memories,
he had noticed something strange.
In this world,
the only Extraordinary beings were the Alien Origin Bodies.
Yet, creatures like humans ruled this world, Kapu Star.
And they were even able to contain the Alien Origin Bodies.
It was nothing short of a miracle.
What concerned Hu Qi even more was that whenever an extremely terrifying Alien Origin Body appeared, one that could threaten all of humanity, humans would always be spared due to various circumstances.
Furthermore, there was this T5 Level being, codenamed gn-000 God, who stood on humanity’s side.
An ordinary person might not think anything of it.
But as an existence who had traveled across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms to become a True God,
he felt that everything was far too coincidental.

Even if humans were the protagonists of this world, a situation like this shouldn’t occur.
It felt as if a hand was manipulating everything from behind the scenes, maintaining the balance between humans and Alien Origin Bodies.
Once this balance was broken,
the humans of this world would face a devastating blow.
After all, the so-called thermal weapons were completely useless against these Alien Origin Bodies.
Conversely, humans had almost no power to resist the Alien Origin Bodies.
Of course, it was undeniable that some intelligent people might have already guessed this.
But they were simply unwilling to believe it.
Because the conclusion was too despairing.
’The Creator, huh...’
In that single moment,
based on the information he currently had, Hu Qi made a preliminary judgment about the identity of this mastermind.
Of course, he still needed to run some experiments to verify if his suspicion was correct.
Thinking of this,
he stood up, picked up the oil lamp from the table, and blew it out with a single breath.
He then placed it back on the desk.
With a single step, he left the containment pod, his figure quickly vanishing at the end of the corridor.
...
「Early morning.」
A beam of sunlight sliced diagonally into the room through the half-drawn curtains, casting a golden band of light on the wooden floor.
Fine dust motes floated up and down in the sunbeam.
The sunlight fell on the bed, illuminating a phone tangled with an earphone cord by the pillow.
RING RING RING!
Suddenly, an alarm clock blared in the room.
The next second,
from the bed nearby,
the covers were thrown open.
An arm wearing black Buddha Beads reached out and accurately slapped the alarm clock.
The alarm’s ringing stopped abruptly.
Then, a figure sat up from under the covers.
It was a young man.
His hair was a bird’s nest.
He squinted, instinctively raising a hand to block the glaring sunlight streaming in through the gap in the curtains.
"Ngh..."
He let out a muffled groan, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
MEOW!
Perhaps it was the sound the Young Man made,
but it startled a black cat curled up on the desk.
The black cat glanced at the Young Man, its amber pupils contracting into two thin slits in the sunlight.
It stuck out its tongue, licked the fur on its paw, and meowed in displeasure.
"Morning, Coal Ball."
The Young Man chuckled.
He reached out to pet the cat’s head, but it deftly dodged him.
The black cat leaped nimbly onto the bookshelf, looking down on him condescendingly.
"Wu Yang, you haven’t washed your hands yet, so don’t even think about touching me! And I’ve told you many times, Coal Ball is a terrible name. I don’t like it."
A pleasant female voice came from the black cat’s mouth.
