Apotheosis

"You can go to Stage Thirty-one of the Other Shore through the star rings in the ice castle, but the star rings have been provided for the creatures from the chaos. I don't know if you can pass through one," Zen said to the bald giant.

Each star ring corresponded to a race. Only members of a race could ascend from their star ring.

It was unlikely that the Colossus race had an exclusive star ring. The members of the Element Spirit race had probably used some other means to bring the bald giant to where he was at the moment.

In addition to this, the bald giant was also facing another problem. He had become the ruler of the Blooming Jade Stage. According to the rules of the Other Shore, once he became a stage ruler, he would forever be bound to this stage of the Other Shore.

Elvinia and Zen had become stage rulers in succession, but they had not become bound to their respective stages of the Other Shore. This confused Zen, who wondered if the bald giant would be accorded such treatment.

The bald giant nodded and took a step forward. He lifted the roof of the ice castle into the air, revealing the star rings neatly placed within.

He grabbed at the star rings, spilling them all over the ice.

"These things are so small. How can I get into them?" the bald giant said, frowning.

"Just step into a star ring," said Zen.

The star ring was similar to a transmission door. No matter how large an individual was, a star ring could accommodate them.

Even the star rings for races with huge figures, such as the Abyss Spirit race, were about the same size as that for humans.

The bald giant stared at a star ring before taking a deep breath and then stepping forward into it.

Buzz...

The star ring sucked him in with a whoosh, emitting white light as it did.

"He seems to be going through the star ring for the Ear Mouse race. Is it possible?" Libby asked, worried.

Zen shrugged and said, "I don't know. He has to try it himself."

Zen had communicated a lot with the bald giant on their way here.

He had established a certain friendship with the giant after multiple rounds of battle. They had more to talk about with each other now and the Primeval Lord of Heaven also took the opportunity to tell Zen to as

away, there was no doubt that the Element Spirit race would make a comeback once Pompeo left.

But if Pompeo were to stay here, he would be able to help the humans gradually take control of the Blooming Jade Stage.

Zen had come up with this idea before, but he wouldn't keep Pompeo here if he could ascend.

Now that Pompeo couldn't leave by himself, Zen had to make good use of this situation. In return, he would help him find a way to ascend to the upper stages.

Pompeo blinked his huge eyes and nodded, agreeing with Zen's suggestion.

The Colossus race was a primitive race, but Pompeo was not stupid. He knew that Zen would not help him for no reason. He himself had helped Zen because they had the same enemy and they could make use of each other.

"Elizabeth, would you like to stay in the Blooming Jade Stage to assist Pompeo?" Zen turned to ask Elizabeth.

By asking Elizabeth to assist Pompeo, he intended for Elizabeth to take charge instead since Pompeo would be fighting most of the time.

Elizabeth didn't refuse, but she was hesitant as she said, "But I can't communicate with him."

Now, the only person who could communicate with Pompeo was Zen.

"It doesn't matter. I'll talk to him about everything in advance. He'll follow your orders," Zen said.

Pompeo needed to kill all the members of the Element Spirit race who entered the Blooming Jade Stage, or anyone that Elizabeth considered a threat. She only needed to give simple orders for him to do her bidding.
