Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 976 - Cultivating Through Devouring

After I upgraded my Path Jewels, I was more than ready! First of all, time to eat the System, the Heavenly Laws, and Emotions.

I know I will end up sacrificing more stats to make more of these clones/bodies connected to my soul, but the payback will be even greater. So, I created four new true body clones, I made it so they took the least amount of stats, but they still took some…

Two bodies would slowly absorb system and heavenly laws, while the other two could absorb emotion clusters! Now, go do that, you guys!

Of course, I am controlling these bodies because they\'re like my own bodies too, so I created different spaces for all of them and then put them in safe pocket dimensions, similar to the dream and void ones.

Now, let\'s go into explanations, first of all, Emotion Clusters!

What are Emotion Clusters to begin with?

From what I\'ve discovered, everyone alive produces emotions within their souls. Emotions make up our personalities and even natures. Even ants have emotions… to begin with, so no one can run away from it.

But emotions were not a mere non-existent concept, but they actually exist on an ethereal level, they are like waves of psionic energy, of psychic power, or something.

When a person has very strong emotions, they form small clusters of ethereal psionic/psychic energy, which flow outside of a person\'s soul and quickly dissipate into other energies, usually not remaining together for too long… unless there are certain conditions, such as a world filled with too much energy around, instead of being torn apart, the emotion clusters are pushed by the other energies and gather into bigger and bigger emotion clusters, which might end up forming Illusion/Emotion Attribute Monsters, although this is very unlikely to happen, it could happen.

Of course, unlikely outside, but in here?! It is everywhere!

There are giant clouds of emotions all above the larger cities and nations, so it was easy to craft a new spell named [Emotion Cluster Siphon] and use it to siphon the emotion clusters from the Divine Realm into a small little hole that led to the pocket dimension where the true body clones made to eat these were.

Like this, I began to quickly devour these clusters one after another, and I was having some crazy mood swings because of it, the more I ate, the more my emotions became chaotic, of course, that didn\'t matter, as someone that has gone completely insane, my very mind is like an endless labyrinth of abyssal darkness, any emotions that could cause mood swings to get swallowed here and end up being lost anyways.

After some time, I already began to gain Illusion/Emotion Attribute Essence, which I slowly converted into permanent stats, divine energy, divine points, and attribute particles…

And like this, I left these two bodies in Auto-Mode by implanting some Split Minds inside while I moved into the other bodies, which were about to do the same but for System and Heavenly Laws!

These "laws" are part of the entire pillars of the world of Genesis, they\'re the laws that contain the world together. Heavenly Laws, for a lack of a better term, are the pillars of all elements together into one, they are the laws that keep everything going to everything to stabilize, and they are constantly produced and maintained by the world\'s Origin Core, which is apparently fused with the world\'s will.

I have already showcased the power of Heavenly Laws before, so I don\'t think it is necessary to explain them in much detail. Also, Great Gods learn Laws and can control elements too, similarly to how worlds do it. However, the Heavenly Law seems to be a very strong one, as it encompasses almost every element, and it is the opposite of Chaos, which also encompasses every lesser element together.

However, Heavenly Law maintains all the elements it is made of in perfect harmony, while Chaos maintains all the elements it is made of in constant disorder and chaos… And then there\'s the System Law.

For lack of a better term, this Law is "illegal", it was created, and it seems to be an artificial Law created when the Heavenly Laws ended assimilating the power of the System.

In fact, it is a unique attribute by itself, something that might not be present in any other world except Genesis… These Laws are what I am about to consume, and they maintain the almighty system, which has even assimilated plants and I think even bacteria could have status now that I think about it! I mean, there are species of giant one-celled monsters which I\'ve known about by the memories of the Gods, these creatures don\'t seem to exist in the Realm of Vida, however.

So, I quickly began to call upon these Laws that exist everywhere, even in my damn divine realm.

I started to slurp them like noodles, and they were invisible and tasteless, but the power they had was there.

Slowly yet steadily, after a lot of enduring pain and feeling like I am about to explode into pieces, I began to gain Heavenly Law and System Law Essence…

This Essence was of a way higher quality than any other essence, and honestly, it was insanely powerful, almost the same as Chaos Attribute, which I had begun to naturally devour and convert into power since I evolved- Oh, I guess I never talked about that.

Anyways, I am not absorbing Chaos Attribute at the same pace as Heavenly Law, it is a different method, I don\'t have to meditate, I simply absorb it into my own body naturally, as if I were a lamp to it and chaos attribute particles from all around merely fly towards me like moths.

I think that was a nice analogy.

Anyways, this happened the moment I was evolving, and this is why I just got so many attribute particles of chaos out of thin air, the cocoon I made was a lot of chaos I was absorbing.

And so, slowly, I began to gain more and more essence, of various types now… But this was not enough, not at all! I had to gain more, and more, and more!

I am insatiable, therefore, what I have is never enough. I will have to slowly get more devouring abilities of every attribute, so I can even easily absorb everything.

Oh right, Life and Nature Essence has already begun to be absorbed using Yggdrasil as a catalyst, the path jewel doesn\'t have such an ability, but I made up a few spells and managed to do it, although it is not the best, it can be enhanced more whenever I get the Ability based on it, so I guess this is my next target.

Now, I have to… well, I guess I have to rest as I gain essence and stockpile power.

Hm… Anything else to do? My life has gotten so busy lately… But I guess I need more Divine Points, and I merely need to sit down and relax to gain them, so I guess I will do that.

I decided to take a last peek at my stats before going with my family, aside from the chaos of the divine realm, things seem tranquil and peaceful, I mean, the Gods are doing an excellent job, although many of them are constantly dying and being revived… But we are getting into a more stable divine realm, or well, at least in this continent.

…

Ah! There it is the stats really increased a lot… and this is not because of the new essence but the bonus stats from the Path Jewels! Damn, they do really give a lot of power after getting into Great Goddess Rank, it is quite insane and surprising…

With so much power even non path jewel-ability spells are strong as fuck, a mere Fireball becomes the size of a sun… Ah right, I got the Helios skill sitting there, if I use it now by combining it with my other fire divinities from all the lower realm gods I ate…

FLAAASH!

Ah…

Yeah, this is ridiculous. A mere Overpowering Sun: Helios is so big it covers several kilometers across the sky, burning anything that comes towards it. In fact, several bird-type divine beasts just got roasted the moment I made this. I could quite literally blast the entire Central Continent with a few of these…

But okay, let\'s not do that, the Central Continent is my fan club at this point, and I want my fans to get here and worship me forever, of course.

So, after I finish powering up and more, the next course of action is… of course, to conquer the central continent, kill and eat the Great Gods there, and take over the entire Realm of Vida, evolving my Realm Core into the True Realm Core!

Of course, for that, I need some more time…
