Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

"Let's hope nothing new goes wrong. Are you sure you're okay, Rhodes?" Sargeras looked at Rhodes and asked.

They used to worry themselves sick over things related to the Void, and now that they've finally managed to crush the Void forces head-on, this has happened.

This worried Sargeras, who feared what kind of trouble Rhodes might cause once he reached a higher level.

"Hmm! If that's what you mean, then there is indeed a possibility. You should also know about the Firstborn. It is said that the Firstborn divided the universe into six fundamental forces and are theoretically the creators of this world."

"What if they try to stop us from destroying the void?" Rhodes asked.

The Firstborn are an insurmountable hurdle; their lore has always been chaotic, and they've never officially appeared. Rhodes isn't even sure if these beings will ever emerge. (The latest lore suggests the Firstborn are back again, and the Eternals are now on par with the Titans.)

This is so blatant refutation of the original text, I'm speechless. Fine, let's just stick to our previous approach! (The Firstborn are only on par with the Titans.)

"In the past, I would indeed fear them, but now even if they appeared before me, I could tear them to shreds, whether with my Titan power, the fel energy of chaos, or the power of the cosmic gods and primordial gods—I can do anything," Sargeras said with a contemptuous laugh.

After comprehending the Divine Universe, he realized how vast the gap was between himself and Rhodes. This power, which could burn the divine power within his body and amplify it dozens of times before unleashing it, made him invincible among those of the same level, and even allow him to challenge those of higher levels.

Therefore, Sargeras was not afraid of these Firstborn; if they tried to stop him from destroying the Void, he would destroy them as well.

"I understand! Sargeras, continue to gather your strength!"

Once your strength reaches a certain level, things that were previously impossible or simply unattainable for you will become effortless.

"In this world, only power is truth," Rhodes said.

Upon hearing this, Sargeras nodded to Rhodes and then returned to the Burning Throne. Rhodes was right; in this world, only power represents everything.

When you have power, you can do whatever you want; you can do anything you want.

Ordinary people fear death and cannot resist their fate, but he can change everything from the moment he is born!

As a mortal who had grown up along the way, Rhodes understood this even better than Sargeras.

After Sargeras left, Rhodes planned to begin trying to absorb the dark power of the Absolute God, this incomparably powerful dark divine power.

Only his current dark divine power can absorb and collect it. If he had used his previous power, all of Rhodes' divine power would have been corroded as soon as he came into contact with this dark divine power.

"Rhodes! If you want to absorb this absolute god's power, then it's best not to do it at this time," Athena said.

"Why? This world is my base, the safest place for me," Rhodes said.

His own private universe has now fully matured, and unless there is a being of multiverse level, no one can enter it and enter his own world.

Aside from this place, Rhodes couldn't think of anywhere else suitable for him to go into seclusion and absorb this incredibly powerful absolute divine power.

"The power of the Absolute God is extremely strong. Even you, in your current state, can only barely absorb it. When you absorb this power, the power of the Absolute God's multiverse will be released."

"This is a power that can create or even destroy universes. The power you unknowingly release when you absorb it is enough to destroy the entire world," Athena said.

How was the Absolute God born? He appeared in the endless void before the birth of the universe, and all universes and worlds were created by the Absolute God.

Such incredibly powerful beings cannot be contained in a single universe; the mere pressure they exude is enough to cause an entire single universe to collapse.

If Rhodes were to absorb this absolute god's power in his private space, the sheer pressure emanating from it would be enough to cause the small universe that had finally taken shape to collapse.

"I see. I hadn't thought of that. You're right. If the power of an absolute god were to be unleashed, this world would indeed be unable to withstand it," Rhodes nodded and said.

The last time I absorbed the primordial divine power, it almost caused turmoil in the entire Black Myth world. Fortunately, the level cap in the Black Myth world is high enough.

After he killed Taishang and Tathagata, the whole world actually experienced a major upgrade.

"Then how about I go to the world of Black Myth, or go into seclusion in the world of Azeroth? What do you think?" Rhodes said.

"No, no! Although these two worlds are very advanced, they are still not high enough to allow an absolute god to be born. The pressure generated when an absolute god is born is enough to destroy this universe."

"Rhodes, if you want to absorb this absolute divine power, you need to find a new world. Ideally, this world should be unclaimed, or one that was destined for destruction, and its level shouldn't be too low—at least not lower than the universe we currently inhabit," Athena said.

The universe she's referring to is either the universe of Azeroth or the universe of Black Myth, and this universe must be without an owner.

If it were a multiverse world with a master, then Rhodes breaking through to become an absolute god in someone else's territory, causing turmoil throughout the entire universe and affecting the multiverse, or even destroying the universe, would not be a friendly sign.

In this situation, the original world's master would definitely not give Rhodes a friendly look; attacking him directly would be the least of their worries, and they might even fight him to the death.

Every universe created by the multiverse is of vital importance to incredibly powerful beings. These universes can grow alongside them or become important places of faith for them.

The reason why the absolute god Apus tried every means to reclaim his universe was for this very reason.

"You mean I should travel directly to another world and absorb the power of this absolute god, preferably a world without a master, but the strength of that world itself can't be too low?" Rhodes asked.

Alright! Absorbing the power of an absolute god is going to be so complicated; I'll have to go to another world first.

"Anyway, with your abilities, finding a suitable world shouldn't be too difficult, and remember this!"

Since Apus is the absolute god who governs darkness and despair, you'd better choose a world with a suitable tone.

"That world should ideally be filled with despair, darkness, and utter hopelessness; it should be utterly dark," Athena said.

"I understand. I will now head to the next world to become an absolute god and step into the realm of the multiverse!" Rhodes nodded and said.

There are quite a few requirements, but the power of the God of Darkness does indeed need to find a suitable universe.

"Yes! Once you become an absolute god, come to my world! I think the super god will be prepared for you," Athena said.

The God-like Saturn gave Rhodes the essence of divine power left behind by Apus, intending to make Rhodes an absolute god and then help him break through to the level of a super god.

The path to becoming a god is unclear to me; only a god knows the details.

Rhodes nodded to Athena, then gathered his group together and explained to them that he was about to travel to the new world.

"Rhodes! Are you leaving already after just getting back?"

"Yes, shouldn't we take a few years to rest? Or maybe a few hundred years?" Tyrande said.

Rod sometimes pushes himself too hard. Doesn't he know the importance of balancing work and rest?

Throughout their long lives, night elves do everything at a leisurely pace.

"The reason I have been able to achieve what I have today is because I have never dared to relax for a moment. If I stop, I will fall behind."

"However! If you wish, I can stay and accompany you for several hundred years before leaving, since I possess the Time Artifact anyway," Rhodes said.

"Then it's settled, Rhodes, you'll stay with us for a few hundred years!" Sylvanas said.

Spending some time getting to know Rhodes is also important to them.

"Then let's stay here for now! For a god, a few hundred years is nothing," Athena said.

Pallas, along with the others, nodded in agreement.

At the invitation of his wives, Rhodes spent hundreds of years in bliss, always staying in his own little space, and accelerating time there so that only a few days had passed in the outside world.

During this time, in addition to spending time with his wives, Rhodes also took care of Alice's original body, who was sleeping at the core of the Final Fantasy planet, allowing her body to absorb more primal divine power.

At the same time, he guided the women in developing their divine cosmos, enabling them to fully enter the realm of gods and possess incomparably powerful divine cosmos.

"Rhodes! I feel that if I wait a little longer, I should be able to break through the planet's interior and be officially born," Alice said, using her own body.

Within the core of the planet in the Final Fantasy world, the Titan body of Azeroth has successfully taken shape.

Her soul strength is increasing every moment, and Rhodes also occasionally supplies her with primal divine power, even dark divine power and life force.

Once she is fully formed in her Titan body, she will be able to directly reach the level of a primordial god after birth, becoming an existence on par with Athena and Azeroth.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered! Time is meaningless to beings of our level."

"You just need to absorb the divine power and grow strong. Once your Titan body is born, your human body can also merge into your Titan body. You can switch freely between human form and Titan body," Rhodes said.

Having once been a mortal, Alice is still quite unaccustomed to becoming a powerful primordial god.

"I'm just feeling a bit sentimental! According to my original destiny, I should have died, entered the will of the planet, and become one of them. But thanks to meeting you, my fate changed, and I avoided death," Alice said.

If Rhodes hadn't appeared, perhaps I would have fallen for Cloud! Zack's figure had slowly faded away in the years since he left.

However, it seems that Claude is more suited to the place, and it would be better for her not to try to take him away. It was precisely for this reason that she chose to accept Rhodes back then.

After comforting Alice, Rhodes went to Sylvanas.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Rod asked.

Vereesa's husband, Rhonin, did not die. Instead, he traveled between Undercity and Dalaran, living a comfortable life. Moreover, thanks to Rhodes' presence, he also received a portion of the Titans' Order power, breaking through the level limit of mortal lifespan. Now, in terms of combat strength, he is at the Guardian level.

"I just feel that my life is pretty fulfilling right now! It's like I have no regrets. You resurrected my brother, and you even found my older sister," Sylvanas said.

Since becoming a primordial god and comprehending the power of the ninth level, Rhodes has been able to do many things, such as completely ignoring the group in the Shadow Realm.

The Shadowlands wouldn't dare utter a peep about casually bringing souls from the Shadowlands into the real world and then resurrecting them.

"Hahaha! This is nothing to me, it's just a piece of cake. Strong males often attract a lot of females," Rhodes said with a smile.

"Tch! That's the only thing I'm most unhappy about," Sylvanas said, rolling her eyes.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's time for Rhodes to set off.

"Rhodes, the power of the ultimate divine cosmos is incredibly magical. During the period when you absorb absolute divine power, a part of your soul can actually separate and leave your body. You can try this ability," Athena said.

This time, because they need to absorb the power of the absolute god, none of them will be with him; Rhodes will be acting alone.

So she wanted Rhodes to try out the power of the cosmos. Once he reached the level of an absolute god, he could create an avatar like Aps did back then.

In this case, even if the main body absorbs the power of an absolute god, it doesn't mean that it is completely powerless to protect itself.

"I understand. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Don't forget my special ability," Rhodes said.

After bidding farewell to his wives, Rhodes activated his spatial teleportation ability, specifying several key words: an unclaimed and dark universe capable of containing his power, and one where no one is stronger than himself.

With a flash of blue light, Rhode activated his time-travel ability, leaving this universe and heading to an unknown world.

A flash of light appeared, and Rhodes appeared on an unknown planet. In an instant, Rhodes' divine sense covered the entire planet.

This is not Earth, but an unknown alien planet.

Is this the ability to travel through time, a desperate and dark world carefully chosen for Rhode?

This planet is about the same size as Earth, and its gravity and environment are also very similar. The entire planet seems to have been terraformed, resembling a giant plantation.

Everywhere there are farmlands, where all kinds of grain crops are raised, and there are also some huge ranches that raise some special livestock.

There are about ten million humans living here. This should be a colony planet, but the situation on this planet seems to be a bit bad right now.

A horde of orcs, screaming and yelling, wielding all sorts of broken guns and even piloting mechs, are launching a frenzied attack on the humans of this world.

Seeing those cute green creatures running all over the place, Rhodes was speechless for a moment. What, what are these things?

Orcs are carrying semi-automatic rifles! Even laser guns! They're driving tanks, even Gundam mechs, and even fighter jets! And why does their style look so junk?

That's right, although these orcs' weapons and equipment are very modern, and even have a strong sense of science fiction, they look like a bunch of junk put together!

Are you kidding me? Can you really drive this thing away? It's a miracle that it can even move, fly, and be used.

And look at that appearance, and that screaming sound!

They really look like the orcs of Azeroth! No, you could even say they're exactly the same!

Moreover, both are similar in size, standing over two meters tall and extremely robust green-skinned.

However, the orcs of Azeroth have green skin because they are infected with fel energy.

Rhode observed the green orcs of this world and found that their original skin was green. In fact, their life form seemed rather strange to Rhode.

These orcs are fundamentally different from the orcs of Azeroth. The orcs of Azeroth are purely animals, with flesh and blood, but these orcs are half animal and the other half is actually a kind of plant!

Yes, that's right! From Rhodes' perspective, these green-skinned creatures darting around and frantically attacking humans are not animals, but something that resembles both animals and plants, with a life form somewhat similar to the Divine Tree.

These creatures even undergo photosynthesis on their green skin, resulting in incredibly strong physiques. Even if they lose an arm or a leg, these green-skinned individuals can recover in a short time.

The humans in this world are dressed somewhat like soldiers in American science fiction movies, wearing very futuristic uniforms and carrying some advanced laser guns.

It's not a problem that humans and orcs go to war; in almost every world, humans have to fight orcs.

These orcs seem to be having a lot of fun, so where exactly is the dark tone of this world?

Rhodes was puzzled, pondering in his mind: what kind of world could contain such a bizarre group of green-skinned orcs? (End of Chapter)
