Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

Emperor Bai toyed with the illusory cocoon in his hand, inadvertently recalling the information within it.

"Ling'er... senior brother..."

"This kid... really knows how to create trouble for me!"

As Emperor Bai spoke, a slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The information within the cocoon had allowed Emperor Bai to discover a seemingly special connection between Lu Sheng and the Devouring World Empress.

"But... although the Devouring World Empress has emerged, it seems she's not entirely aligned with the Void Zerg?"

"This could be a good thing, but... from the information, she appears to hold a great grudge against the Human Federation. It's not easy to win her over, nor is it likely she'll stand with the Human Federation."

Emperor Bai rubbed his temples.

"The reason she gave me this cocoon... is probably because of Lu Sheng."

"Heh, this kid, at just the sixth level, managed to tie in with a galactic lifeform. Interesting!"

"But this is also a rare opportunity for him!"

After laughing, Emperor Bai slowly tightened his grip. The cocoon in his hand instantly shattered into nothingness.

"The news that Lu Sheng assisted the Devouring World Empress in achieving the Dao must be kept secret. Whether he intended to or not, if this gets out..."

"Even Star River University will be troubled."

"That brat's small frame can't handle the trouble this will bring."

Emperor Bai shook his head. Just as he was about to sit down, a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

"Immortal, since you're here, why not come out? Hiding in front of me, what's the point!"

Emperor Bai coldly snorted. His voice echoed through the cosmic void, causing the surrounding space to ripple.

Buzzing!!!

In the endless cosmic void, a faint hum arose, followed by an invisible spiritual power converging together.

Eventually, it materialized into a blurry figure.

And this figure was none other than the Immortal, one of the three galactic lifeforms of the Human Federation!

The Immortal's gaze fell on Emperor Bai, more precisely, on Emperor Bai's hand, as if probing for something.

"Just now... what did the Devouring World Empress tell you?"

The Immortal's voice was icy and mechanical, devoid of any emotion, interrogating from the get-go.

During the great battle of the galactic lifeforms in the Three Thousand Worlds, the Immortal had sensed a communication between the Devouring World Empress and Emperor Bai.

As a galactic lifeform under the Cultivator System, his perception was extraordinarily sharp.

Every year, during the college entrance exams, he could cover the entire Human Federation with his spiritual power and naturally detect any subtle clues.

Though he didn't know what the Devouring World Empress and Emperor Bai exchanged, he could sense something amiss.

Firstly, Lu Sheng was the first to emerge; secondly, the sixth-level experts of the Human Federation were largely unscathed, mostly just falling into a deep sleep.

Compared to the Human Federation, the Blood Skeleton Clan suffered much more.

Many sixth-level Blood Corpse Bone Spirits perished in the Three Thousand Worlds, and their deaths were excruciating.

The only one capable of causing such havoc under the watchful eyes of the galactic lifeforms was the newly ascended Devouring World Empress.

The Immortal felt a vague connection between the Devouring World Empress and Lu Sheng.

"And... what exactly is the deal with your Star River University student Lu Sheng!"

The Immortal's voice was indifferent, but his eyes were fixed intently on Emperor Bai, as if trying to see through him.

Emperor Bai sat calmly in the cosmic void, his eyes tranquil without any ripples.

"Lu Sheng, huh..."

Emperor Bai's heart stirred slightly.

"To form such a connection with the Devouring World Empress, helping her sever her heart demon and become a galactic lifeform... such a life chart... is extraordinary!"

"Perhaps... he has the potential to become the next galactic lifeform under the Martial Artist System of our Human Federation!"

Emperor Bai mused internally before looking at the Immortal, a sharp light gleaming in his eyes.

"Before I answer your question, you must first tell me..."

"Why did you hold back in the previous battle?"

Emperor Bai did not answer the Immortal's question, instead, he started interrogating the Immortal.

Faced with Emperor Bai's interrogation, the Immortal showed no expression, simply staring quietly at Emperor Bai.

Though Emperor Bai didn't answer the Immortal's question, the Immortal had a vague guess about what Lu Sheng did in the Three Thousand Worlds.

"That martial artist from Star River University... to come out of the Three Thousand Worlds awake, must have a connection with the Devouring World Empress!"

The Immortal thought to himself.

"But... it's nothing to worry about!"

The Immortal's expression remained as calm as ever, silently observing Emperor Bai.

Truthfully, the Immortal didn't care much about what Lu Sheng did in the Three Thousand Worlds. After all, he had long been cooperating closely with the Void Insect Race.

His true intention in questioning Emperor Bai was merely to pressure him into submission.

"I can refrain from prying into the matters of your Star River University students, but... you must also stop meddling in my affairs!"
