NIP Chapter 34 Amagi Star
Chapter 34 Amagi Star
The boxes were unloaded from the spaceship and piled up in a corner of the warehouse.
Zhao Chen remained motionless, maintaining the shape of the ore, and used his Fiery Eyes to observe through the gaps in the wooden box. The warehouse was large, filled with ores transported from various places. Male angels frequently entered and exited to take inventory. They wore uniform silver armor, with swords hanging at their waists, and their auras were mostly between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.
He waited for a whole day and night.
Late the next night, the warehouse finally quieted down. The angel on duty leaned against the door, dozing off, his breathing even.
Zhao Chen quietly flew out of the box, moving silently close to the ground, and reverted to human form in the shadows of a corner. Invisibility and Disguise were activated simultaneously—he changed his appearance according to the appearance of those low-level male angels in his memory: pure white wings, simple silver armor, an ordinary face, and his aura was concealed to around the Foundation Establishment stage.
The wings on my back felt a little awkward, but I got used to them after a few tries.
He slipped out of the warehouse through the side door and disappeared into the night.
-
This is a huge city.
In the distance, a majestic palace complex, constructed entirely of white jade, gleamed softly under the starlight. Countless angels patrolled the skies, their wings leaving golden trails as they flapped. In the city's center stood a towering tower, piercing the clouds, its spire hidden within the mist, radiating a suffocating aura of power.
That was an aura equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage—at least one major realm stronger than those four Nascent Soul stage angels.
Zhao Chen's pupils contracted.
He had sensed the power of high-ranking angels on the planet Teda—a power equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The aura emanating from this tower was more than ten times stronger than that of those four high-ranking angels.
Who exactly is that person? And where is this place?
Zhao Chen didn't dare to delve deeper and silently withdrew his gaze.
He withdrew his gaze and crept along the edge of the street.
Neat houses lined both sides of the street. Zhao Chen saw many female angels walk past him—they wore thin dresses, without armor or weapons, carrying buckets of water or clothes, and hurrying along with their heads down. Occasionally, a male angel would come towards them, and they would immediately step aside, bowing their heads, and only dare to continue walking after the male angel had passed.
A male angel emerged from the tavern, grabbed a passing female angel, and pulled her into a nearby house. The female angel dared not resist, not even daring to raise her head, and simply followed obediently.
Zhao Chen looked away and continued walking forward.
He saw female angels sweeping the streets, washing clothes, and carrying goods. They were doing the most menial work, yet they received no pay and dared not even look up at the male angels.
Male angels were entirely different. They carried weapons, wore armor, and strode with their heads held high. The higher-ranking ones were accompanied by strange beasts, while the lower-ranking ones traveled in groups. Wherever they passed, the female angels would give way.
Walking with a blank expression, Zhao Chen gradually understood.
This is the order of the Heavenly Palace.
Male angels are masters, female angels are property.
There is no equality, no dignity, only oppression and dependence.
As he continued deeper into the street, the scenes he saw were largely the same. There were quite a few female angels, but none of them carried weapons, none wore armor, and none dared to raise their heads before the male angels.
On the outskirts of the city lay a cluster of abandoned buildings, long neglected and rarely visited by angels. He found a half-collapsed stone house, crawled inside, and made it his temporary shelter.
-
After nightfall, he sat cross-legged and looked inward at himself.
Deep within his soul, over seven hundred strands of golden, sacred energy floated silently like a dazzling sea of stars. Pure Yang fire burned quietly in his dantian, its color a brilliant white, its temperature even higher than when he left Teda Star.
Just as he was about to regain his composure, he suddenly sensed something. Deep within his dantian, a strange sensation was surging.
That was the opportunity for a breakthrough.
And now, that opportunity has arrived.
Zhao Chen slowly closed his eyes, cleared his mind of all distractions, and focused on circulating his Qi-refining technique. Following the flow of spiritual energy within his dantian, he guided the pure spiritual energy that had been dormant in his body for a long time to flow slowly through his meridians.
In an instant, the nascent soul in the dantian trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy hidden in the body seemed to be strongly drawn, turning into a surging torrent.
The meridians throughout his body were repeatedly washed and widened by the surging spiritual energy. The originally solid barrier of the mid-stage Nascent Soul stage was constantly loosened under the impact of the spiritual energy and then shattered with a crash.
The spiritual energy, carrying immense power, repeatedly tempered the meridians and cleansed the turbid energy in the dantian. The meridians were filled with tearing pain, but also with a feeling of being filled with new spiritual energy. The nascent soul became more and more solid under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and its aura rose steadily.
A faint aura of turbidity gradually emanated from his body, and a layer of warm spiritual light surrounded him. The shackles of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm were completely broken, and his cultivation advanced wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He broke through all the way from the early stage of Nascent Soul to steadily step into the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
An hour later, the surging spiritual energy around him gradually subsided and receded into Zhao Chen's body. His nascent soul sat upright in his dantian, his aura deep and long, and the spiritual power flowing around him became more and more smooth and free. His cultivation at the mid-stage of the nascent soul realm had been completely stabilized.
The next day, he once again disguised himself as a low-ranking male angel and infiltrated the city.
He needs to know where he is and where to go next.
The square was bustling with people. Zhao Chen found a corner to squat down, pretending to rest, but he kept an eye on the conversations around him.
"...I heard that the mines in the north haven't paid their quotas for this month yet. Those supervisors are probably in for a rough time."
"The matter on Teda Star hasn't settled down yet; those four adults are still going crazy, investigating everywhere."
"What's the point of investigating? The murderer has probably already escaped, maybe even left the galaxy."
"That still needs to be investigated. More than a hundred clansmen died, and six first-generation divine bodies were lost. King Huaye needs to give an explanation."
Zhao Chen listened calmly.
News of what happened on Teda Star spread, but no one knew that the murderer was right under their noses.
He stood up and continued walking forward.
As Zhao Chen passed a huge stone tablet, he stopped in his tracks.
The stone tablet was engraved with golden characters, which gleamed in the sunlight.
Heavenly Palace City—the capital of angelic civilization, the center of Heavenly Palace order under the rule of King Hua Ye.
All angels are male and female, their order is ordained by Heaven and will never change.
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes.
Heavenly Palace City. Hua Ye's lair.
He was actually transported here. So, does that mean the peak Nascent Soul stage aura I sensed earlier was Hua Ye? Judging from the previous life's storyline, Hua Ye's strength in the Heavenly Palace was at most at the peak of the third-generation Divine Body. If that's the case, then the four Nascent Soul stage angels I encountered were equivalent to second-generation Divine Body cultivators. Am I a second-generation cultivator? Isn't the water supposed to be this deep? Me, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, and all I'm doing in the Super God World is a team leader?
Think about the setting of the super god power system and compare it with the power levels you've encountered before. You won't know until you compare them, and the comparison is shocking!

The integration period of the four generations of gods
These void creatures seem to be even more complex. After all, the backstory of the divine body system is basically clear; at most, special beings like Karl's illusionary body can be considered fifth-generation divine bodies. But who knows if there are even stronger void creatures? Perhaps one of them is even known as the ultimate fear!
Zhao Chen was increasingly surprised, but he wasn't afraid. According to his memories from his previous life, this was still the early stages of the story. As long as he developed steadily, he should be able to protect himself by then. After all, no matter how deep the waters of this world were, they shouldn't be as deep as the East Sea of the primordial era.
Zhao Chen turned and walked into a nearby tavern.
A dozen or so male angels, mostly at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, sat in the tavern, drinking and chatting. Several female angels moved among them with their heads down, serving wine and dishes without saying a word.
Zhao Chen found a seat in the corner and sat down.
A female angel approached, her eyes lowered, and asked softly, "What would you like, sir?"
"Just bring me a pot of wine," he said.
The angel acknowledged and withdrew, quickly bringing over a pot of wine and a small dish of snacks. She put the items down and stepped aside, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.
Zhao Chen slowly sipped his wine, but kept listening to the conversations around him.
"...I heard that several high-ranking angels have recently been sent to patrol the northern border."
"That's normal. There are always accidents at those mines over there, so we have to keep things under control."
"Speaking of which, King Huaye has recently taken in several new female servants, and I heard they were all selected from remote star regions."
"Tsk, let's not discuss the king's affairs."
"Yeah, let's drink."
Zhao Chen held his wine glass, his gaze lowered.
The Northern Mine, Hua Ye's new maid... Although these pieces of information were fragmented, they at least gave him some understanding of the situation here.
He put down his wine glass, got up, and left.
-
After returning to the dilapidated house, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Tiangong City, Hua Ye's stronghold.
Given his current cultivation level, staying here is still dangerous. He might end up facing Hua Ye. But to leave, he needs the right opportunity.
He needed to find a departing spaceship, figure out the patrol shift change pattern, and continue to disguise himself.
Opening his eyes, Zhao Chen looked out at the Holy Light Tower.
Inside lives the strongest man in the universe.
Before long, he will stand here with dignity.
but not now.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Chen continued to sit cross-legged.
