Chapter 204: The Secret of the Ninth Sense, Hatching Tiamut! (Part 2) (Patreon)

A god was equivalent to an administrator who had obtained universal permissions. They could embed their will into the very foundation of the universe, much like code written into computer hardware. As long as the universe was not destroyed, they could return an infinite number of times.

However, gods were not eternally immortal and indestructible. Other beings could seize their godhood and weaken their divinity, forcing them into a deep slumber until their divinity was completely exhausted, leaving absolutely no possibility of revival.

This was the secret of the gods...

Knowing the secrets of gods, Alex nodded slightly. He already had a rough plan for the path he would take in the future.

Someone like him, who possessed divinity but lacked a godhood, was known as a demigod.

If he wanted to become a god right now, it was actually very simple.

The I Am Legend world was his natural home turf. With his current strength and the contingencies he had previously set in place, he could ignite his divine fire in that world at any time and ascend to the supreme divine throne.

But becoming a supreme god also meant he would be thoroughly bound to that universe, unable to leave ever again.

The upper limit of the I Am Legend world was not high; it was not Alex's ideal world.

Alex shook his head, gently rubbing his temples that ached slightly from instantly receiving the massive stream of information...

He temporarily put aside the matter of ascending to godhood. He still had some time and didn't need to rush to claim a divine throne.

Right now, Alex wanted to see Tiamut's potential. He summoned the Reincarnation Panel, allowing Tiamut to independently choose the universe he wanted to be born into.

Tiamut casually browsed through the numerous space-time fragments, like a child picking out his favorite toy. Eventually, he selected a Reincarnation World.

Alex nodded slightly. Tiamut had a good eye, and his choice happened to coincide with the world he had predicted.

He stored Tiamut back into his inventory space. His figure transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from the Reincarnation Space.

...

The sky of the planet Aiur presented a profound purple-gold hue. Giant Pylons stood tall like towering ancient trees, emitting a soft and pure psionic radiance that enveloped the entire ancient temple area in a sacred tranquility.

This was the homeworld of the Protoss, a world with highly developed psionic energy where spirit and matter were perfectly blended.

The name "Star Spirits" might be a bit unfamiliar to some, but to put it another way, they were the Protoss from StarCraft!

Alex's figure appeared silently in the outer space of Aiur.

In the StarCraft universe, the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg races fought endlessly. The outer space of Aiur was filled with protective orbital cannons, and the surface was covered in countless photon cannons, practically arming the entire homeworld to the teeth.

Alex's gaze pierced through the atmosphere, looking down at this beautiful and magnificent planet as he casually conversed with Tiamut.

"Is the Zerg homeworld not to your liking? Although the Protoss have high individual mental strength, they possess extremely long lifespans and are emotionally indifferent. Your birth process here will consume a very long time."

Tiamut replied lazily.

"The Zerg's consciousness is too brutal, and their individuals lack self-awareness. It would affect my form after birth; I would become brutal and bloodthirsty."

"Actually, the Terran homeworld would be the most suitable for me, but I was worried that you, Father, wouldn't be able to accept the destruction of the human race, so I chose this place."

Alex gave a cold chuckle.

"As you wish. Since I promised Arishem, you can choose any planet."

Tiamut confirmed his choice.

"I'll choose this place. The psionic energy of the Protoss is incredibly pure, which will make me even stronger. Moreover, I have already foreseen that a massive war will break out here soon. The souls of hundreds of billions of dying Protoss will be enough to trigger my instantaneous birth!"

"In return, I will act as their god and shelter the Protoss, ensuring they do not face complete extinction!"

Alex's figure blurred, instantly penetrating the Protoss defense network at the speed of light and appearing at the core of the psionic vortex near the planet's core.

He held a ball of platinum-gold light emitting a faint glow in his palm; the Celestial infant Tiamut was sleeping soundly within it.

The pure aura of the origin of life resonated miraculously with the majestic, ancient, and highly condensed psionic energy of the planet Aiur.

"This is the place."

Alex's divine sense swept across the entire core of the planet.

"Pure energy, an ordered structure, and a powerful psionic network—more than enough to support your growth. Tiamut, grow well!"
