"The World Tree Fruits are in hand."

"I’m about to break through to High God."

John and the others exited the Demigod Division of the Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm.

They returned to the lakeside pavilion at the Skyvault Consortium branch.

After waiting a few days for the chaotic baleful aura within the World Tree Fruits to fully dissipate, they would be ready to use.

At this time, the three women of Valhalla were not in a hurry to use their fruits.

According to their previous agreement, they planned to first observe the effects after John used his fruit, understand the process, and then take action.

John, on the other hand, had the opportunity to enter the Heroic Spirit Corridor, allowing him to obtain opportunities that others could not. This would pave his path toward becoming the strongest High God.

Thus, he was the first to use the fruit.

[Ding! You have used a World Tree Fruit.]

[Prompt: You have obtained the qualification to enter the Heroic Spirit Corridor.]

[Prompt: You have obtained a complete Primordial Law.]

[Prompt: This law is currently sealed. It can only be unsealed after your journey through the Heroic Spirit Corridor ends.]

John decisively chose to enter the Heroic Spirit Corridor.

According to the previous mission details, the Heroic Spirit Corridor was a special space formed by countless astonishing geniuses from innumerable universes. After reaching the invincible demigod stage, they branded the projection of their cultivation into a certain void secret realm.

Those powerhouses who had left behind their projections back then had most likely already stepped into the Sovereign Realm, or even reached the Peak Sovereign level.

Being able to refer to the paths these peerless powerhouses had once walked, exchange cultivation insights with them, and reflect upon himself through them was naturally an enormous opportunity.

It was also an essential step for John’s advancement.

[Ding! You are entering the Heroic Spirit Corridor!]

[Prompt: Your physical body cannot enter. You will enter in the form of your divine soul.]

The moment the prompt ended, John’s divine soul suddenly disappeared from his body.

This sudden change stunned the three women of Valhalla.

"Did the guild leader’s soul leave his body?" Silt was the first to react.

"We’ll guard the guild leader’s physical body and wait for his divine soul to return," Odelle immediately decided.

"Mhm, mhm." Holly nodded hard.

The three of them tacitly spread out, protecting John’s physical body at the center.

Heroic Spirit Corridor.

Whoosh.

John’s divine soul appeared out of thin air.

He looked around and saw an extremely illusory and hazy world before him.

Countless human-shaped statue phantoms, each tens of thousands of feet tall, surrounded him. Every statue was glowing with a faint white light.

The faces of those statues were all different, and every face represented a powerhouse who had once left behind a legend at the demigod grade.

Whenever John’s gaze swept over a statue, a brief piece of information would appear before his eyes.

[Aldric]: A powerhouse of Skyvault Consortium, titled [Emerald Grove Sovereign].

Trait: At the demigod grade, he comprehended the cosmic origin power known as "Starry Sky Phantom."

Strength: This powerhouse was invincible throughout his entire journey. At the demigod grade, he was invincible among demigods. At the God King level, he was invincible among God Kings. At the Sovereign rank, he was invincible among Sovereigns.

[Ignatz]: A powerhouse of the Demon King Council, titled [Bloodblade Sovereign].

Strength: This powerhouse was invincible throughout his entire journey. At the demigod grade, he was invincible among demigods. At the God King level, he was invincible among God Kings. At the Sovereign rank, he was invincible among Sovereigns.

Realm: Peak Sovereign.

John looked into the distance. The owners of countless statue phantoms had all stepped into the Peak Sovereign Realm.

Back when they were still at the demigod grade, they had already displayed power capable of crushing their own era and even crossing eras. Even against High God-level beings, they were not inferior at all.

They were truly worthy of being called astonishing geniuses.

At that moment, a system prompt rang out.

[Ding! Your projection is being generated.]

As the prompt sounded, an extremely familiar facial outline slowly condensed within John’s field of vision.

That statue was also tens of thousands of feet tall. The only difference was that it shone with dazzling golden light.

The golden phantom gradually appeared among the peerless experts who had suppressed countless eras, standing shoulder to shoulder with those white statues.

John could see it clearly.

That was his own face.

Whoosh.

A panel of data appeared immediately after.

[John]: A powerhouse of Skyvault Consortium, titled [Eternal King].

Traits: Possesses the human race’s divine art [The Eight Divine Arts]; possesses a [Divine Sense High God Source] far beyond that of ordinary High God-level beings; possesses one of the cosmic origin powers, [Great Heavenly Sound Art]; possesses the [Eternal Imperishable Body]; possesses the [Tribulation Power] of the Law of Thunder; possesses a vast number of over-tier talents.

Strength: This powerhouse has been invincible throughout his entire journey and has repeatedly suppressed High God-level powerhouses across grades.

Realm: Current — Extreme Peak Demigod.

Remark: Strength, realm, title, traits, and other data will update in real time as the character grows.

John looked at the panel, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Across all heavens and universes, layered through time and space, within a world so vast it was nearly infinite, countless living beings, powerhouses, and geniuses were born.

Yet in the end, only a handful of them could obtain the qualification to leave a projection in the Heroic Spirit Corridor.

And now, he was one of them.

The honor was self-evident.

After his golden phantom fully solidified, his vision suddenly changed.

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Corridor Dao Discourse is about to begin.]

"Gentlemen, a pleasure to meet you."

The moment John’s vision recovered, this voice rang beside his ears.

He focused his gaze and saw four people sitting cross-legged before him.

Aldric, Corwin, Duran, and Ignatz.

He himself was also among them.

"Please begin," the other three replied expressionlessly.

Aldric looked straight ahead and spoke in a calm tone.

"The topic we shall discuss today is [Cosmic Imprint]."

The moment these words came out, the minds of the others were shaken.

"As everyone knows..."

"A High God-level powerhouse must engrave their life origin into the laws of the universe."

Aldric smiled faintly.

"As long as the laws remain undestroyed, a High God-level powerhouse can exist forever.

"At the same time, High God-level beings can also obtain the enhancement of cosmic power."

He deliberately paused.

The other three nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed. Since the birth of countless universes, this has always been the established rule," Corwin agreed.

"Is there anything about this worth discussing?" Ignatz asked with a smile.

"Could it be that Your Excellency Aldric has some unique insight?" Duran asked.

Hearing this, John’s eyes lit up.

He knew that the true opportunity was only now beginning.

The chance to obtain the insights and experiences of these senior powerhouses, and to uncover the secret of becoming the strongest High God, lay within this Dao Discourse.

He focused his mind and listened carefully, no longer allowing himself to be distracted.
