Chapter 683: 670 Terrifying Central Domain_1
Three days had passed since the great battle, and Nine Dragons Star gradually recovered its calm.
On this day, Chu Qin was contemplating the Titan God Power.
The Supreme Divine Art was notoriously abstruse and could not be grasped overnight, but Chu Qin was different—he was a super genius. Moreover, he had a Supreme God explaining it by his side.
So as three days passed, Chu Qin had already mastered the basic operations.
"Senior Shi Tian Di, do you think this Titan God Power could enable me to challenge a Supreme God in a short time?" Chu Qin asked.
"Hahaha, it might be difficult for others, but not for you. You might actually be able to bridge the vast divide between God King and Supreme God and challenge beyond your level," replied Shi Tian Di.
"How am I different?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.
"You were unlike anyone else. Did you know that without a Supreme God's help, it's nearly impossible to use a Supreme Divine Artifact, but you, this guy, not only managed to use one but four at a time. Plus, you should have at least two Supreme Divine Arts, right?" Shi Tian Di bluntly revealed Chu Qin's secrets.
"Senior Shi Tian Di, now that you've said it all, what will I use as my trump card in the future?" Chu Qin asked.
"You kid, as if I would tell anyone else. Could you tell me, where did you get your Supreme Divine Arts and Supreme Divine Artifacts from? I've spent my entire life, billions of years, and only found one Supreme Divine Artifact and one Supreme Divine Art," said Shi Tian Di. "Don't tell me, are you a descendant of some family from the Central Domain?"
"Central Domain?" Chu Qin heard the term for the first time.
"Eh, you really don't know about the Central Domain?" asked Shi Tian Di with a hint of confusion. "Are you truly ignorant, or just pretending?"
"I really don't know!" said Chu Qin. Although he was a transmigrator, he knew next to nothing about the world beyond Douluo Planet.
"Then let me tell you. The entire Cosmic Void is divided into nine areas: the four cardinal directions, northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest, and the Central Domain. Your current location is at the southwest corner of the Cosmic Void, a mere speck in the grand scheme!"
"A mere speck? You're calling this multitude of star systems a mere speck of land!"
"What's a star system? A starfield is the real measure of scale," Shi Tian Di replied. "Each starfield includes countless star systems. The so-called Nine Dragon Divine Domain should count as a tiny starfield."
"I got it, like the Solar System, the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Observable Universe, right?" asked Chu Qin.
"...What mess are you talking about?" Shi Tian Di responded with a big question mark.
"Never mind, senior, please continue," said Chu Qin. "So, the Central Domain is a starfield?"
"You're wrong again. The Central Domain is so vast it has no boundaries and contains countless starfields and star systems. Our Titan God Star Domain is within the Central Domain."
"Then, how strong is your Titan God Star Domain within the Central Domain?" Chu Qin asked, a hint of shock apparent.
"It's not bad," replied Shi Tian Di. "After all, I have become a Supreme God, which has lifted our collective strength. We could probably rank within the top fifty of the whole Central Domain."
"A Supreme God, only in the top fifty!" Chu Qin's expression stiffened.
"The Central Domain is filled with powerful beings, like a forest of oxen's hair. Over thirty Supreme Gods exist, and there are countless Demi-Emperor powerhouses. Our Titan God Star Domain, while I was alive, had about twenty, and the so-called Pinnacle God Kings around here would only be fit for guarding the doors in the Central Domain," Shi Tian Di replied.
"Then I'm at a loss!" Chu Qin's expression tensed slightly.
"At a loss for what?" asked Shi Tian Di.
"I originally thought the Demi-Emperor Beast was powerful, and now you're telling me it's insignificant. Haven't I suffered a huge disadvantage?" Chu Qin complained.
"You love a bargain, you kid," replied Shi Tian Di. "In fact, the most precious thing I gave you isn't the Demi-Emperor Beast or the Supreme Divine Art; it's that piece of gold foil!"
"This?" Chu Qin took out the piece of gold foil.
"Yes, this gold foil was given to me by my good friend Ghost Emperor before he passed away. He mentioned in bits and pieces that it seemed to come from some... zone, but I didn't catch it clearly before he kicked the bucket," replied Shi Tian Di.
"Did you figure out its use?" Chu Qin asked.
Shi Tian Di shook his head, "I didn't get a chance to study it before the Demon Emperor stole the most precious treasure of our Giant God Clan. I was chasing him all the way here, and almost met my end at the hands of the War Emperor and Flame Emperor."
"Well, it turns out you really haven't figured it out; I thought you were deceiving me before. What's the use then!" Chu Qin said irritably.
"Heh, good things take time, right? How about this, once you return the treasure of our Giant God Clan to the Titan God Star Domain, I'll take you to see an old friend of mine. He should know the use of it," Shi Tian Di replied.
"Alright!" Chu Qin nodded. "It seems that my return to the Douluo Divine Realm is not going to happen anytime soon!"
"Chu Qin, although vast, the Central Domain rarely sees someone as young as you with such strength. It's unprecedented and unheard of, even the imperial beasts' offspring couldn't match your achievements. I have a premonition that you will undoubtedly become a sovereign of the universe one day, so why be attached to a tiny speck of land?"
"I don't have such grand ambitions," said Chu Qin. "I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife and, eventually, our children."
"I used to think the same, but it's not possible. Whenever chaos starts, there's no safe place in the entire universe, so only when you're strong enough to dominate everything can you have peaceful days," Shi Tian Di replied.
"Dominate everything... Supreme God?" Chu Qin asked. "By the way, a Supreme God should be the highest realm, right?"
"For now, that seems to be the case!" Shi Tian Di replied.
"For now! Wait a second... Shi Tian Di, do you know about the Azure Dragon?" Chu Qin suddenly thought of the formidable existence of the Azure Dragon.
"How could I not know? The Azure Dragon is the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, the universe's first Supreme God, and was born as a Supreme God. Countless eons have passed, and no one knows how strong she eventually became or whether she might have died. That's why I say that Supreme God can only be considered the highest realm for now. Of course, it's unlikely for the Azure Dragon to have broken through the level of Supreme God, as some powerhouses have speculated that even all the forces of the universe combined are insufficient to breach the realm of a Supreme God," Shi Tian Di replied. "Eh, you have Qinglong's Blood in your body. What is your relationship with the Azure Dragon? Oh, I remember now, there's an ancient family in the Central Domain that claims to be the descendants of dragons, worshipping the Azure Dragon as their ancestor; you couldn't possibly be from that family, could you?"
