Chapter 314 – Floridian Man Declares Independence from Obligations, Declines to Toss Precious Alchemy Ingredient into Lava Party

RUMBLE

The surface of the mountain absorbed Leo's fluid and underwent a transformation. The plain rocky mountain range turned black like the northern black mountain. The mineral spread like how spilled ink painted a sheet of white paper black.

However, the spread never stopped as the transformation process entered the next stage. The area where Leo had sprayed his urine glittered in rainbow color, evolving into the spiritual core of the entire mountain.

The core had a unique shape of a 2-inch thick and one square foot block. The surface of the square core was coarse and sharp. The needles of the core's skin were so tiny that regular humans couldn't see them with naked eyes.

Leo gazed at the mountain and waited for the transformation to finish. He also appraised the square core.

Spiritual Heart of Planet Eater

This spiritual heart has been created by the transcended being 'Florida Man'. It contains a portion of his bodily liquid and his daos, which transforms a clump of dirt into a sentient being.

This newborn spiritual heart has yet to gain intelligence even though it has just awakened its sentient. It also lacks a soul as its creator hasn't bestowed it a soul yet. Until it acquires a soul and links its karma with a karma river, it cannot function as a sentient being.

Although it lacks a soul and intelligence, the spiritual heart automatically absorbs yin and yang Qi in the area and uses them to transform the natural material around it into soul stones. However, should any non-material lifeform touch it, the spiritual heart can mistake the being as a source of Qi and attempt to consume the being as nutrition.

This precious resource is the key ingredient for Omnipresent Drive, which is the common standard engine for space colonies and dreadnaught-class battleships. If left alone, it will slowly consume everything on the planet and terraform everything into a soul stone star, which will eventually evolve into a galactic being 'Planet Eater'.

Actions Recommendations

1. This spiritual heart seems dangerous at a glance, but it is a rare resource that you can exploit. By sending inorganic life forms to mine it, you can extract a lot of soul stones from the converted minerals. However, it is recommended to return some materials to the spiritual heart so that it has something to convert. Otherwise, its survival instinct will drive it crazy and attack everybody on the planet for food.

2. This spiritual heart can be used in alchemy. The recipe is as follows;

[Seed of the Void Tree]

One spiritual heart

One million soul stones

One dantian crystal of a transcended being

One true entity fate crystal

Leo wryly smiled and shook his head. Sometimes, he was confused about how he managed to create something so weird out of the blue.

"I often pee everywhere, but I never turned anything into this… blasphemous rock! How the hell does my body work?!"

Because of Leo's comment, the others were curious about what Leo had just created.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Asked Han Hao.

"Ah, I just gave birth to a planet eater. I don't know how, but I think I might have to remove this thing after it's done transforming the entire mountain range into soul stones."

"S-Soul stones? W-What's that?" As Han Hao and others had never seen soul stones before, they wondered what they were.

"Well, imagine this. You have essence stones and spirit stones in your world, right?"

"Yes."

"Soul stones are like the higher tier of those stones. By combining a thousand essence stones together, you get one soul stone. It contains a lot more Qi than what you have. Got it?"

Han Hao and everybody were moved as they couldn't believe that Leo just created more cultivation resources for them. If they could grovel in the sky, they would have done so.

While everybody was overjoyed by the changes, Kishin Douji had another reaction. The Oni Overlord noticed the aura and flew by to take a look. But when he noticed the spiritual heart, his expression turned dark.

"What are you doing, Florida Man!? Why are you creating a planet eater here?! Are you trying to wage war with THAT overlord?!"

"That overlord? Who?"

Kishin Douji yelled, "The transcendent Overlord Planet Devourer! Those planet eaters are not something that you should take lightly! When I was governing the universe, they were the most troublesome race! Do you know that if you leave one of them alone for a year, they will devour a galaxy and evolve into a karmic sovereign?!"

Leo was surprised, but something didn't make sense there.

"If they could quickly evolve into karmic sovereigns, how the heck did you subdue them?"

Kishin Douji snorted, "During my reign, fate crystals weren't a thing. Those planet eaters move by instincts. I mixed some karma river of this universe with a random gas star and sent it their way. When they ate the poisoned star, the karma river digested them from the inside and melted them into gas!"

"Oh, so we can just easily kill them with this method, then."

Kishin Douji facepalmed, "Didn't you hear what I said? This method worked before fate crystals became a thing. Overlord Planet Devourer got his hands on an entity fate crystal, and he got a system. His system power, if I remember correctly, is the Arkachic Record System. He can read the past, present, and future whenever he wants. His prediction rate is close to 100%."

lightsnοvεl "…Whoa."

"Let me tell you a story, you idiot. Overlord Sieg of Fate Stadium and Overlord Priscilla of Rainbow Phoenixes once teamed up to eradicate the planet eaters under Overlord Planet Devourer. That bastard predicted the event and counterattacked. Do you know what happened? Priscilla and Sieg lost half of their soldiers and were forced to retreat!"

"…"

"That's not all. That fight took place 50,000 years ago. By now, they should have amassed at least a dozen transcendent beings among their ranks."

"…Then, why haven't they invaded the elves and the others yet if they are so strong?"Follow current s on N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

Kishin Douji flinched. He hesitated if he should reveal a piece of sensitive information. But after a few seconds of contemplation, Kishin confessed.

"The Void Tree."

"The Void Tree?"

This was the first time that Leo had heard about the Void Tree from someone else. He reread the alchemy recipe.

[Seed of Void Tree]

This piqued his interest. Leo probed for more information.

"What is the Void Tree?"

Kishin Douji snorted, "You know nothing, don't you? Fine, I'll teach you baboons a lesson. In the past before fate crystals exist, there was no such thing as 'Void Tree'. Only world trees exist in the universe, and the highest cultivation base ceiling was once the karmic sovereign realm."

The Oni Lord narrated a story.

.

.

Before Eleanor, Sieg, or Priscilla could become an overlord, Kishin Douji was the sole ruler of the universe. His force maintained order and peace in various worlds, so no individual could bully another weaker race.

But one day, a void tree suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The mushroom-like transparent tree instantly devoured several karma rivers of the universe and grew its size.

When Kishin Douji first saw it, it was already bigger than the Milky Way Galaxy, and it kept growing. At first, he thought it was another form of the uprising planet eaters, so he mobilized his force to subdue it.

The campaign failed before Kishin Douji's army could even touch the tree. When his troops got close, it revealed its aura of a transcended being, repelling everybody away. Then, Kishin Douji heard its voice.

"People of the lower dimension, hear me. I am the owner of the Void Tree, the Void Principality. I am from the higher dimension, and I am searching for candidates to join my universe."

The voice was so loud that everybody in the universe could hear it. Kishin Douji Army was the closest to the tree and got hit by the loud sound.

His people were critically injured. Everybody retreated to their headquarters while Kishin Douji remained behind to listen to the tree.

The Void Tree then produced countless fruits, which were known as fate crystals. It scattered the crystals to every corner of the universe.

"For fairness, I have scattered fate crystals in your universe. In the next 100,000 years, those who possess a leaf of this tree shall be qualified to enter my universe!"

That was the end of the message. Afterward, powerful experts emerged one after another. Kishin Douji and his army were besieged by all his enemies and rebels, forcing him to abdicate his throne and surrender to Eleanor.

After hearing the full story of the Void Tree, Leo and the elders were amazed.

"Wow, really? A higher dimension?" The humans and the Molgs were astonished.

Kishin Douji stared into Leo's eyes and then glanced at Cat. He wanted to say something, but he changed his mind. Instead, he continued with his story.

"At the moment, Overlord Devourer's forces surround the Void Tree and monopolize the area. From what I heard from Eleanor's minions, those guys attempted to eat the tree, but the tree fought back. Well, they're stupid enough to pick a fight with the hands that helped them."

"In short, they have a better prey." Leo summarized.

"Yes. That's why we shouldn't create another planet eater and get their attention! Just hurry and remove that seedling!"

"…"

Leo closed his eyes and was about to remove the seed. But then, he remembered the time when he listened to Hua Jiashan during the mushroom incident.

He hated being manipulated. In addition, Kishin Douji seemed like he was hiding something.

Mimicking a certain LOTR meme, Leo's face looked similar to Maxim Baldry's in the movie.

"No…"

"YOU!!"

Leo spat on the spiritual heart, accelerating its growth.

"Unfortunately, sir. My name is Florida Man. I am CHAOS! WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!"

"YOU MANIAC!!"

RUMBLE

The heart rapidly expanded its reach. Instantly, the entire mountain became soul stones, and the soil turned dark.

Although Leo sounded crazy, he immediately pulled the heart off the ground before the expansion could reach the town. He stored the heart in his inventory and brightly grinned.

"Just kidding. Done!"

"…"
