"You want the World-Ending Spear?"

Nuwa knew Gao Xuan very well and was aware that he had always been thinking about the World-Ending Spear.

"Sister, you truly know me."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Sister, just give me any task you need done, and I'll grind whatever points needed right away."

The Celestial Battle Realm is an ancient battlefield where human powerhouses and powerful beings of various races fought against the divine beings of the Negative Space, shattering the space.

A special space was carved out forcefully in the Galaxy Core Region. This space doesn't belong to Positive Space nor Negative Space and has its own unique spatial laws.

What's more terrifying is that there are many laws and obsessions left by the deceased powerhouses and divine beings inside, which have evolved into distinct special space regions.

For thousands of years, the Alliance has continuously sent people inside to investigate the situation. Most never returned.

In the past millennium, humanity gradually lost the drive to expand outward, and society tended toward stability and calm. Everyone also lost that intense spirit of exploration.

The exploration of the Celestial Battle Realm became less and less frequent.

The information about the Celestial Battle Realm that has circulated is very limited. After all, not many people have successfully returned. The related successful experiences are top secret and absolutely not shared with outsiders.

Even with his experiences from two lifetimes, Gao Xuan didn't know much about the Celestial Battle Realm.

He had the Book of All-Knowing in his hand, but the issues regarding the Celestial Battle Realm were too complex and numerous. He couldn't possibly ask about each one.

Currently, he only knew the locations of the Sea Emperor Trident and the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada. He wasn't clear on their specific situations.

Because of this, Gao Xuan wanted to be fully prepared.

Bai Yutang's combat strength was very weak, and even if he acquired the World-Ending Spear, he couldn't fight against the Golden Powerhouses. However, the World-Ending Spear was part of the Angel King's Set.

Acquiring the World-Ending Spear should enable Bai Yutang to trigger the special abilities of the Angel King's Set.

Since the World-Ending Spear was in Nuwa's possession and it wasn't difficult for him to grind points with his current abilities, he might as well seize the opportunity to get the World-Ending Spear while there was still time.

Nuwa understood Gao Xuan's thoughts and shook her head, saying, "If you want the World-Ending Spear, you'll have to wait for the annual meeting to be held again. Now it's not possible to give it to you as an individual reward."

Nuwa continued, "What the Celestial Battle Realm needs isn't powerful combat strength, but wisdom."

Gao Xuan looked at Nuwa somewhat surprised, "Sister, do you know a lot about the Celestial Battle Realm?"

"I know a thing or two."

Without waiting for Gao Xuan to ask, Nuwa proceeded to say, "The Celestial Battle Realm is composed of various laws that condense into small worlds. You can't break these worlds by brute force.

"It's like playing chess; you must follow the opponent's rules. Or like a virtual game, you must abide by its core rules to have a chance of winning.

Acting recklessly is like challenging the core laws. Unless you're stronger than the core laws, you're bound to die..."

The reason the Celestial Battle Realm is dangerous is because it's filled with all kinds of law worlds. Each world's laws vary greatly.

In the Celestial Battle Realm, wisdom is most important, followed by combat strength.

Gao Xuan, still preoccupied with the World-Ending Spear, made Nuwa feel that his thinking was misguided.

Gao Xuan indeed didn't know much about the Celestial Battle Realm, and it wasn't until Nuwa's reminder that he realized he was mistaken.

"Sister, you've helped me a great deal." Gao Xuan hurriedly offered his heartfelt thanks.

Nuwa could not bear Gao Xuan's enthusiasm and drifted back a few steps, "You don't need to cozy up to me; everything I know, I've already told you."

She continued seriously, "I'll give you a piece of advice: with your current foundation, there's no need to risk the Celestial Battle Realm. Focus on cultivating for decades; who in the Alliance would be your match then?"

To be honest, Nuwa didn't quite understand Gao Xuan's urgency.

He was only nineteen and had already killed Qin Xuan. And he had just advanced to Golden recently; he still had a long, long path ahead.

Now Gao Xuan was avoiding the bright broad road and choosing to take dangerous shortcuts.

In Nuwa's view, there was absolutely no need for that. Given Gao Xuan's intelligence, he shouldn't be so eager for quick success.

Gao Xuan shook his head, "Time waits for no one."

Nuwa also shook her head, "Then there's nothing more I can do. I can only remind you again: the Celestial Battle Realm requires more wisdom than strength. Don't think about using force to break through when you're faced with problems. You're not that powerful yet."

She provided an example, "Look at Qin Wu and Song Town; they don't dare to mess around in the Celestial Battle Realm. What makes you think you can?"

"What you said makes sense, Sister."

Gao Xuan said, "I indeed oversimplified the matter."

Nuwa didn't say anything further; she had already said what needed to be said.

After Nuwa left, Gao Xuan fell into contemplation. What Nuwa said was correct; he was a bit presumptuous.

Having achieved Gold and condensed into a Tier Three Rubik's Cube Spirit Core, he was getting a little arrogant.

He had cut down Qin Ken, Tifeng, and Qin Xuan, making him even more conceited.

Regarding the Celestial Battle Realm, he had also lost basic reverence. He always thought that with his current abilities, along with the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Godslaying Sword, Celestial Dragon Eye, and other marvels, even if he couldn't win, he could always escape.

Not to mention, he also had the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, which could sense danger and avoid it. He wouldn't encounter real danger.

Looking back now, he was somewhat overconfident.

Among the many deceased divines and powerhouses in the Celestial Battle Realm, each had earth-shattering cultivation. His current power is still inferior to that of Song Town, let alone being a tier below Qin Wu.

How could he have the qualification to underestimate the Celestial Battle Realm?

With the Void Battleship equipped with the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Gao Xuan had initially wanted to take Yun Qingshang with him. If there happened to be any opportunity suitable for Yun Qingshang, it would be a great gain.

Upon reconsideration, it's still not feasible. He truly can't bring Yun Qingshang along; he can hardly look after himself, let alone take care of Yun Qingshang.

Gao Xuan once again consulted the Book of All-Knowing, asking two important questions and offering up all the Golden Marvels he had amassed. Including a few marvels obtained from Tifeng, leaving only the Eternal Spear.

Upon getting answers, Gao Xuan felt bouts of heartache.

Gao Xuan then had a chat with Yun Qingshang, explaining the situation clearly to her, instructing her to stay on Taiwei Star to wait for him.

Here is Ziwei City on Taiwei Star, also the mega-metropolis of Taiwei Star. This neighborhood is an advanced community, extremely secure and secretive.

Yun Qingshang's identity was crafted by Gao Xuan using Sage Authority, with all records filed in the main database of the Alliance.

Since Taiwei Star is the territory of the Song Family, if anything indeed happens, the Song Family would naturally do him a favor.

The concern now is if the Qin Family uses powerful tracking marvels. However, Yun Qingshang possesses the Celestial Serpent Transformation Scripture, which very effectively repels foreign tracking attempts.

At least for a year or two, it's challenging for others to directly trace Yun Qingshang's whereabouts using marvels.

Of course, the most important thing is to divert the enemy's attention entirely.

The Celestial Battle Realm is located in the core region of the Galaxy, this area is crammed with too many stars, making the space environment complex and dangerous. Practically no life forms operate in this area.

Despite the strength of human technology, it is no match against the power of star systems.

Due to the unique nature of the Celestial Battle Realm, humans have constructed a space node that leads directly there.

However, the entrance to this space node is guarded year-round by a Space Fortress. It's actually the most outermost space fortress of the Alliance, serving as an external security outpost.

Only designated military ships are allowed to traverse this special route. To enter the Celestial Battle Realm, the highest committee's approval is required.

Gao Xuan is currently a wanted fugitive by the Alliance, naturally lacking the qualifications to board a military ship, let alone obtaining the approval.

Nonetheless, with the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon, Gao Xuan does not need these formalities.

Utilizing Sage Authority, he acquired the Alliance's galactic star maps. Such complex 3D star maps are impossible for ordinary people to memorize.

For Gao Xuan, these pose no problem.

Gao Xuan floated in vast space, beneath him was the enormous Taiwei Star. His position was several thousand kilometers away from Taiwei Star.

The deep starry sky was boundless, and Gao Xuan, wearing black mechanical battle armor, was as a mere speck within the starry void.

The space fortress outside Taiwei Star dispersed billions upon billions of detectors throughout space, yet they still couldn't detect a target as minute as Gao Xuan.

After floating in space for several minutes and acclimating to its environment, Gao Xuan slowly adjusted his Source Power, activating the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon.

The eight mechanical arm blades behind the mechanical battle armor silently converged, transforming into a pair of mechanical wings.

Gathering enough Source Power, the pair of mechanical wings suddenly radiated with bright blue-white electric light, and Gao Xuan instantaneously vanished.

By the time Gao Xuan reappeared, he was tens of light-years away.

The sky-breaking Divine Wings of the Eight Extremes Divine Weapon could achieve spatial teleportation, with astonishing speed.

Gao Xuan leaped a distance of tens of light-years, and it almost took no time. The entire process was completed in a thousandth of a second.

Gao Xuan allowed his Spiritual Power to roam, and once he confirmed his position via the surrounding planets, he gathered his Spiritual Power for another space jump.

After leaping five times, Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power was depleted by about seventy percent.

Crossing light-year-scale space jumps, even with marvels like the sky-breaking Divine Wings, still consumed a significant amount of Power.

Fortunately, in the vast void, not even a single planet was visible, much less any life forms.

Gao Xuan could calmly adjust. Once his Power was restored, he jumped again.

After leaping dozens of times, Gao Xuan finally arrived at the entrance of the space node leading to the Celestial Battle Realm.

The massive space node entrance was rife with various sensors. Not to mention a person, even a mosquito-sized object would not escape the sensors' surveillance.

Several thousand kilometers away from the space node entrance, there was a large Space Fortress.

Through the Celestial Dragon Eye, Gao Xuan could even see the three main cannons on the Space Fortress aimed at the space node entrance. The defenses were indeed stringent.

Gao Xuan switched to the Celestial Spirit Battle Armor, and summoned Bai Yutang, allowing her to mimic Yun Qingshang's form and don a set of Shadow Warrior Armor.

Hand in hand, the two entered the space node, where thousands of sensors captured their images.

An hour later, the top brass of various Golden Families within the Alliance saw this photo.

Gao Xuan, adorned in shining silver armor, while the other woman wore a full set of Shadow Warrior Armor, the two holding hands.

Alongside, an analysis from the Light Computer concluded that based on facial and morphological features, there was a 99.9999% match to Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang.

Song Town, viewing this photo, showed a contemplative expression on his old face; what did Gao Xuan intend to do by going to the Celestial Battle Realm?

Meanwhile, Qin Wu was pondering the same question. He even had a strong urge to visit the Celestial Battle Realm himself!
