Accompanied by a clear and melodious cry, a huge black dragon phantom, thousands of meters long, appeared and quickly solidified into a physical form.
That was the most primal form of the Earth Mother Goddess, representing the divine body of the primordial goddess Gaia.
A colossal black dragon coiled behind Athena, its head entwined around the dark star. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spewed out incredibly hot flames.
"Ok?"
The Last King was taken aback.
The steel immortal body is most afraid of high-temperature attacks. He thought Athena's move was meant to burn him, but unexpectedly, all the flames were absorbed by the dark stars.
What is this for?
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the star, which resembled a black hole, gradually heated up.
A fierce hurricane swept through, engulfing the fire to its most intense state. Soon, the dark stars shone with colors like lava or the sun.
Then, billions of tons of seawater in the Tokyo metropolitan area rolled back, cooling the blazing stars.
Finally, the originally dark stars shrank to only one-tenth of their original size, revealing a metallic luster like steel.
"This is... quenching and refining gold?"
The last king finally realized what Athena was doing.
The sun is the father, the moon is the mother; they are nurtured by the wind and sustained by the earth.
By scorching the earth with fire, intensifying the fire with wind, and cooling it with water, what we ultimately obtain is nothing more than the most primitive form of steel.
If she, as the Earth Mother Goddess, could do this, wouldn't she have directly opened up the process from earth to steel?
In other words, she used the power of the Earth Mother Goddess to master the [Original Codex of the Sword]?
As if to verify his conjecture, Athena opened her eyes and pressed them against the silvery-white star after personally refining the steel star.
"The original text of the sword is also a gift from the Mother Goddess!"
The moment she finished speaking, the scales on the top of the black dragon's head behind her suddenly turned into a silvery-white metallic texture. The silvery-white texture spread rapidly, eventually transforming the entire black dragon into a silvery-white steel body.
After Su Mo pointed out the key point, she easily overcame the shackles of dualism and integrated the attributes of the Sword Codex.
Finally, the black blade in her hand transformed into a sacred form, identical to the divine sword of salvation.
"So that's how it is. This is the complete [Creator Mother Goddess], this is... the complete me!"
Sensing the power within her body, Athena murmured something in a daze before casually tossing away her longsword, and the steel dragon phantom behind her vanished as well.
Only after she had completely mastered the power of her enemy did she finally understand Su Mo's meaning.
Her biggest gain this time was definitely not mastering the so-called power of steel.
The key point is not the properties of steel, but that after completing the properties of steel, she mastered the complete concept of creation.
and so--
"Our home planet! It sustains all things!"
At the call of the silver-haired goddess, the reflection of a blue planet appeared behind her.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of the Last King, the phantom of Earth plummeted down, crashing down with the force of destroying everything in the world.
With a strike that made the planet tremble, the all-encompassing chaos restored the savior sword to its basic elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, eventually turning it into a chaotic flow of elements and sinking into silence.
Even the savior sword was completely destroyed, and Rama, the last king, was killed on the spot, returning to mythology and gaining the freedom he desired.
After her victory, the petite silver-haired goddess immediately returned to Su Mo's side, looking at him with an expression that yearned for praise.
"It's good that you mastered this technique so quickly."
Su Mo patted the goddess's head, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"It seems you do indeed have the potential to become a Protoss."
196. New member White Yaksha, creating Celestial Spirits
"Star Spirit?"
Before Athena could ask, Jibril tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"what is this?"
If she hadn't been following Su Mo the whole time, she would have thought this was a concept she encountered in the Star Iron World.
According to her understanding, although the Star Iron World has Star Gods, and Star Gods are also called spiritual celestial bodies, they should not be related to stars and their structure is more like that of gods.
Where did the Protoss come from?
"The will of the planet itself exists in Rin's world."
Su Mo casually offered an explanation, and seeing Athena's somewhat confused expression, he continued to add to it.
"If the early nature gods were the rulers of natural elements such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, then the celestial spirits are the spiritual entities that represent the stars themselves."
"As the possibilities for humanity's future continue to expand, in the not-too-distant interstellar era, Protoss worship will easily replace the original indigenous deity worship; the difference in scale alone will demonstrate the disparity between the two."
"The so-called wind, rain, thunder, lightning, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions... all the concepts before the technological revolution will only be a negligible part of planetary geological activity after the arrival of the interstellar age. In the entire universe, only the stars themselves will be worth studying."
"At that time, the worship of anthropomorphic gods will be swept into the dustbin of history, and only those concepts that symbolize the primitive worldview may be promoted to astral spirits."
As he spoke, Su Mo looked at Athena and gave an example.
"For example, a belief similar to that of the primordial Earth Mother Goddess is only qualified to become a candidate for Earth's Star Spirit if it possesses a concept of 'world' equivalent to that of primitive humans."
As human civilization develops, our understanding of the world is gradually expanding.
In the beginning, the world in people's eyes was just a tribe, a forest, a country, or even a continent.
It wasn't until the advent of the modern scientific era that people realized they lived on a planet, and what they thought was the world was just a thin layer of biosphere on a small asteroid.
Therefore, to replace the concept of Earth's astral spirits, one must at least possess a spiritual level comparable to the prehistoric human concept of "world".
Only after Athena mastered the [Sword Codex] and truly mastered the [Creator Goddess] did she barely qualify as a candidate for Earth's Celestial Spirit.
"Is it that complicated? How powerful is this so-called Celestial Spirit?"
"I asked curiously," Jibril asked.
"It's not a matter of how powerful or not."
Su Mo shook his head.
“The essence of the Protoss is different from that of the gods. Simply put, its own structure is not that of the third type of stellar particles, but that of the second type of stellar particles, just like the Star Gods. This makes it almost unnecessary for it to worry about energy loss.”
"In addition, the Protoss possesses immortality on par with the stars. Unless all the stars in the corresponding world are destroyed, it is difficult to kill the Protoss itself."
"Most importantly, the Protoss faith itself does not even require the involvement of a cosmology; all that is needed is for humanity to be able to recognize this star."
One point that Su Mo didn't mention, which is also the least important point, is that the Star Spirit's minimum combat power is at the fifth-tier Starburst level.
"It does sound a bit more powerful than ordinary gods."
After listening to Su Mo's introduction, Jibril seemed to be deep in thought.
Whether in terms of physical structure, immortality, or the way of being constructed, the requirements are lower than those for ordinary gods.
"But compared to the Star God, there is no qualitative difference."
In terms of structure, both are second-type stellar particle bodies; in terms of belief, both are rooted in basic human understanding; and in terms of immortality, they are also quite similar.
If the Star Gods are an evolutionary form of deities in the interstellar age, then the Star Spirits are somewhat like another possibility for the evolution of deities.
"more or less."
Su Mo nodded, agreeing with Jibril's assessment.
"The existence of the Star Gods is based on epistemology, while the existence of the Star Spirits is based on observation itself. And both observation and epistemology are complementary, merely a difference between form and matter. There is no matter without form, nor is there form without matter."
"...Master, could you speak in a language that people can understand?"
Jibril felt a little dizzy.
"You mean, I can advance to the Protoss realm? And become stronger?"
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, understood what Su Mo meant.
"If that's the case, will I be able to keep up with my master?"
She asked with a hopeful look on her face.
"At least closer than it is now."
Su Mo nodded.
"In a multiverse dominated by humans, Earth's astral spirits would inevitably occupy a dominant position. In some worlds, you might even reach the same level as me, or even approach the level of a single universe."
Even in the hierarchy of chat groups, a single universe is a lofty seventh rank.
Among the Star Gods of the Star Iron World, there are very few beings who have reached such a level.
"Then I'm willing to advance to the Star Spirit realm!"
Athena was immediately captivated.
If she were to obtain power at the level of a single universe, wouldn't she be the one accompanying Su Mo on his travels?
By then, Jibril and the like will only be able to stand by and whine about.
"Ah."
Su Mo naturally wouldn't refuse this request.
However, even he cannot simply create Protoss just by saying so.
"Converting the structure into second star particles is relatively straightforward, but altering the interference of parallel or even multiverse universes is more troublesome. Let me study it first."
Athena has no problem with it.
Thus, on the devastated land of Japan, the joyous news that the end of the world had been overcome spread throughout the globe.
With the intervention of the Copper Black Cross, Su Mo's reputation soared, and his title was changed from the Demon King of Shattered Moon to the Savior.
