Chapter 276: The Birth Of The Seventh Continent
With confidence in his heart, Lu Li accepted the task.
“I can give it a try, but I’ll need your help.”
Hearing this, Gimmighoul’s bright eyes looked at Lu Li with expectation.
“What do you need me to do?” Gimmighoul asked full of expectation.
“First…”
Lu Li was very willing to put some effort into making the Wellspring Mask, and even hoped to spend more time making the Wellspring Mask.
Fighting Groudon was impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime, and now the only option was to slack off to barely delay time.
Jokes aside, Groudon couldn’t fly, but it was still a genuine Tier 1 God.
Even if Gimmighoul could borrow the Wellspring Mask to gain strength close to a Tier 2 God, even with double type advantage, it wouldn’t help.
Gimmighoul didn’t know the evil intentions of the human in front of it.
“Where’s your Vine Whip? Take it out and show me.” Lu Li asked.
The Vine Whip was a genuine divine item, and the damage from the Vine Whip would change with the mask, so there must be a connection between the two.
Gimmighoul, who had just been born not long ago, didn’t understand the wickedness of human hearts, and it almost did whatever Lu Li said.
Gimmighoul took out the Vine Whip, then gently swung it in front of Lu Li.
In Immortal Spirit Eye state, Lu Li stared intently at the Vine Whip in front of him.
“There really is a connection between these two.” Lu Li, understanding in his heart, activated the Flame Conjuring Technique, then helped Gimmighoul wholeheartedly make the Wellspring Mask.
To get some scraps, Lu Li didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.
“Ideal Power can also control flames?” Yao Yifei wondered in her heart, as the Ideal Dragon was Electric and Dragon attribute, while Fire attribute was the Real Dragon.
Though puzzled in her heart, Yao Yifei didn’t dare to ask aloud, even though the Pokémon in front of her looked quite cute but was a genuine deity.
It took almost two days for the making of the Wellspring Mask to gradually approach completion.
In making the Wellspring Mask, Gimmighoul was the main force, while Lu Li could at most be considered support on the side, as well as directing Gimmighoul to make the Wellspring Mask.
After shaping the wood, the next step was to decorate with crystals.
In plain terms, it was the inlaying technique in reinforcement crafting, a technique that could be used whether refining magic tools or magic treasures.
What Gimmighoul lacked was actually these, or more precisely, human crafting techniques.
Moreover, intuition told Lu Li that the Wellspring Mask made through cultivation crafting might be stronger than a normal Wellspring Mask.
Inlaying the Law Crystals took another two days, mainly due to the fusion between the two.
Taking a total of four days, the Wellspring Mask was finally officially completed.
Gimmighoul happily looked at the mask in front of it, then impatiently put it on.
As Gimmighoul combined with the Wellspring Mask,
Gimmighoul also precisely transformed from single Grass Attribute to dual Grass and Water Type Pokémon.
Besides that, it was strength.
Originally, Gimmighoul’s strength was at the bottom even among Tier 3 Gods, but now it could almost touch the tail of a Tier 2 God.
The boost from a single mask was almost equivalent to a major stage.
For Pokémon that had stepped into the Divine Realm, even a small stage required paying the time and price of several epochs to achieve.
“So strong! I feel so powerful now!” Gimmighoul waved the Vine Whip in its hand and cheered eagerly.
As the saying goes, when you hold a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Gimmighoul was in exactly that mindset now.
After the excitement, the rather simple-minded Gimmighoul didn’t forget to thank: “Thank you so much, Lu Li.”
Perhaps because it was just born, or maybe because Gimmighoul’s temperament was naturally good, it had no trace of a divine beast’s arrogance.
Divine beasts in this world were famously arrogant, and when facing non-divine beasts, their eyes looked down with condescension.
“You’re welcome, I only played a very small supporting role.” Lu Li modestly replied.
“From now on, you’re my companion, let’s go defeat the demon god and save the world together!” Gimmighoul patted Lu Li’s shoulder and asked impatiently.
Gimmighoul was only a Tier 3 God, and as long as it didn’t deliberately use laws to disrupt the real world, it almost wouldn’t cause any harm to the real world.
For the real world, the truly dangerous ones were those Tier 1 Gods.
“Sure.” Lu Li nodded and agreed without thinking.
Four days had passed, and whether the real world still existed was uncertain, so Lu Li wasn’t worried at all about running into Groudon after going out.
Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed in Yao Yifei’s eyes. Although she didn’t know exactly what kind of god Gimmighoul was, she could still sense the gap between Gimmighoul and Groudon.
Noticing Yao Yifei’s hesitant facial expression, Lu Li quickly gave her a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Yao Yifei forcibly held back the urge to speak, then silently watched the interaction between Lu Li and Gimmighoul.
Now, Yao Yifei was doing her utmost to reduce her presence.
Upholding the principle of never returning empty-handed, Lu Li took advantage of Gimmighoul’s good mood to request: “Can you give me these remaining crystals?”
The Water Law Crystals that Gimmighoul dug out were very large, and even after using most of them, many small crystals remained.
This stuff was far more precious than divine items, and most importantly, in the cultivation world, this kind of Law Crystal had a very heaven-defying effect.
That was changing the cultivator’s spiritual root.
Like him, originally 18-type mixed spiritual root, but after absorbing the Water Law Crystal, his spiritual root would transform into Water Type earth spiritual root.
In the cultivation world, the best talent was heavenly spiritual root, followed by earth spiritual root, and compared to 18-type mixed spiritual root, the speed of earth spiritual root was almost like the difference between a car and a bicycle.
However, this transformation wasn’t conversion, but elevation. Now he was originally 18-type mixed spiritual root, and after using the Law Crystal, essentially he was still 17-type mixed spiritual root, just that the Water Type spiritual root had elevated to the degree of earth spiritual root.
If he could gather 18 Law Crystals in the future, he might become the legendary 18-type heavenly spiritual root.
What kind of concept was that?
Since the birth of this cultivation world, no such freak had ever appeared.
Thinking about it was quite exciting.
The more he thought, the more excited Lu Li became, his mouth corners rising uncontrollably.
Gimmighoul nodded without hesitation upon hearing this.
These Water Law Crystals were already useless, and Lu Li had helped it so much, plus the God of Destiny said it and Lu Li were natural companions.
Since they were companions, there was no need to distinguish between each other.
Gimmighoul waved its hand very generously: “Take them if you want.”
Seeing this, Lu Li quickly collected all the Law Crystals, then carefully put them into the storage ring.
After doing all this, Lu Li pointed to the wood scraps on the ground and asked: “This…”
“Take it, take it all if you need it.” Gimmighoul said somewhat impatiently.
For Gimmighoul, in this cave, except for the mask, nothing else mattered.
Well, Lu Li was an exception.
After all, this was the companion destined by fate.
“Alright, shouldn’t we go save the world now?” Gimmighoul urged.
Lu Li nodded, then said to Sister Yao: “Sister Yao, you stay in the secret realm first. I’ll go out with Gimmighoul to take a look.”
Even if the outside world had been destroyed, with Gimmighoul by his side, Lu Li wasn’t worried about being torn apart by space turbulence.
No matter what, Gimmighoul was still a Grass Attribute divine beast, and Grass Attribute divine beasts were best at vitality. Even if something went wrong, Gimmighoul could protect him.
Yao Yifei nodded.
She also knew that with Gimmighoul by his side, Lu Li was almost in no danger.
“Then let’s go.” After Gimmighoul spoke, it summoned a secret realm exit.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
“I can’t wait anymore.”
The cheering Gimmighoul pulled Lu Li and jumped into the exit.
After leaving the secret realm, Lu Li returned once again to that ruined world.
Everywhere was lava and ashes, and the sky was still gloomy, caused by volcanic ash blocking the sunlight.
“Sure enough, this world is beyond saving.” Lu Li sighed in his heart.
It was just a pity about his orchard and garden.
Thinking of this, Lu Li felt a pang in his heart.
After decades of hard work, everything returned to square one in an instant—thinking about it was painful.
Gimmighoul curiously looked at Lu Li’s face and asked: “Are you wearing a pain mask?”
Lu Li: “…”
Feeling speechless in his heart, Lu Li quickly restrained his expression.
“So cool! Your face change is so fast, faster than mine.” Gimmighoul sincerely praised.
Lu Li: “…”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Lu Li thanked awkwardly yet politely.
Gimmighoul didn’t reply, instead saying to itself: “Let me sense where that demon god is.”
“Old Groudon, it’s been four days, you should go back to rest by now, right?”
Lu Li silently prayed in his heart.
“Ha! Found it.”
Gimmighoul happily shouted, then took Lu Li and disappeared from the spot.
Lu Li: “???”
When they reappeared, what Lu Li saw was a red wall, and after looking up, he finally saw the true face of this “wall”.
The Earth God Groudon!
“Why is this guy still in the real world!” Lu Li almost cursed out loud.
“Companion! What should we do next, charge right in?” Gimmighoul, holding the Vine Whip, asked eagerly.
Lu Li didn’t want to speak, only wanting to know why Groudon was still there.
Wait…
Lu Li suddenly noticed the key point.
“Gimmighoul, what’s the time flow rate between the secret realm and the real world?” Lu Li hurriedly asked.
Gimmighoul innocently replied: “To not delay saving the world, I specially increased the secret realm’s time flow to 1000 times, almost approaching time pause.”
Lu Li: “…”
So… all my time-wasting in the secret realm was for nothing?
Lu Li looked up speechlessly at the sky.
Brain racing, Lu Li on the side pretended to be regretful and said: “Gimmighoul… there seems to be no bond between us, looks like we can’t fight side by side.”
“No problem! Deities don’t need bonds.” After Gimmighoul spoke, Lu Li felt a new connection with it.
Defense, life sharing!
That meant now he was in an invincible state? As long as Gimmighoul didn’t lose combat ability, this state could be maintained indefinitely.
“It can be like this?” Lu Li was shocked.
Because this state was almost the ultimate goal pursued by trainers, the so-called ultimate form of bond.
Life, defense sharing!
This also meant trainers could walk with their Pokémon to the end of time.
Of course, this state had always only existed in legends, and Lu Li had never even thought of gaining eternal life this way, because it was almost equivalent to cultivating in a lawless world.
……….
Mind World.
Terapagos earnestly advised: “Groudon! Stop, the world can’t take it anymore.”
“Terapagos, what nonsense are you saying? Humans covet my crown, and you tell me to forget it?” Groudon angrily questioned.
“Then go to war! Or get out!” After Groudon spoke, it once again exiled Terapagos from its mind world.
……….
One minute ago.
Through Earth Sense, Groudon precisely located the position of the Red Orb.
After confirming that position was surprisingly the farthest from the continent, Groudon’s first thought was whether this was that fathead fish’s conspiracy.
After all, that position was too coincidental.
However, Groudon didn’t hesitate. Compared to suspecting the conspiracy behind it, Groudon cared more about retrieving the Red Orb.
Using Earth Sense to confirm the position, then instantly teleporting through the earth’s veins.
After arriving at Nemo Point seabed, Groudon opened with a Cliff Sword.
The rumbling of the earth came from deep in the core, and the seabed in the ocean depths trembled like leather wrinkled by a giant god’s grip.
The earth’s crust cracked open an abyssal maw amid mournful cries, and ten-thousand-zhang gold-red magma burst out like a mad dragon, instantly melting thousands of miles of rock and seawater into red-hot iron water.
Countless sharp rock pillars wrapped in boiling lava shot into the sky, the towering Cliff Sword slashing the atmosphere like a blade, the seawater and air along the way distorted by high temperature into liquid ripples, like a deity stabbing a red-hot iron into the world’s curtain.
As the cliffs continuously rose, Groudon at the seabed also ascended like taking an elevator.
Soon, the world’s highest peak changed hands!
On the sea surface, a cargo ship was drifting there, this was exactly the Slave God Society’s cargo ship using the Red Orb to lure.
Sharp rock tips instantly pierced the cargo ship and continuously rose.
The Slave God Society members on the cargo ship were instantly crushed into meat paste by terrifying Ground Type Energy, then evaporated by high temperature in an instant.
As the temperature continuously rose, the cargo ship also turned into iron water and flowed down.
Groudon emerging from the sea looked ferociously at the surroundings.
No fathead fish found, he had overthought before.
But it was fine, this was a good chance to expand the land in the real world.
Thus, the world’s seventh continent was born, twice the size of the Australia region, but this continent had no trace of life, only soil, rock, and magma like the blood of the earth.
