Beside the Titan God Pool, Marquis Huangzhai learned Ender's identity from a wisp of his Clone's consciousness.
"I have already met King Suimi."
He looked at Woody, who had been silently cultivating on the Sacred Tree's roots, guarding Ender for a year, and said in a deep voice, "His Highness Ender's identity is extremely noble. I will protect His Highness Ender's safety with you. The Chai Fan incident must not be repeated!"
Why Titan God Star was blockaded, outsiders who didn't understand thought it was established by King Suimi to prevent his clansmen from courting death, but in reality, the reason for its establishment was not that simple.
Although Marquis Huangzhai had not personally experienced that incident, he understood the extent of its impact from the information he could access.
Before that incident occurred, Titan God Star was not as closed off as it is now. At that time, as long as Titan God Race members became World Masters and passed the assessment, they could fight for Virtual Universe Company and the Human Race.
However, that situation changed instantly after an assassination!
A super Genius from Universe Star River Bank, emerging once every ten thousand epochs, was assassinated by a Soul enslaved Immortal while performing a Cultivate mission on Titan God Star.
How swift and violent was the Immortal's self-detonating assassination? Not only did it wipe out all the Titan God Race Geniuses participating in that Brave Trial, but it also destroyed a city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people.
"Extremely noble?!"
Upon hearing this, Woody's expression immediately became much more solemn. As a personal witness to that incident, he naturally knew its impact on the Titan God Race.
Primal Secret Realm was the Secret Realm first developed and transformed by Virtual Universe Company. It contained many important places, and even super powerhouses of the Human Race were stationed there.
Yet, even in a place like Primal Secret Realm, Geniuses could be assassinated to death by foreign races. This was a blatant slap to the face for Virtual Universe Company, which led Virtual Universe Company to rectify the four Secret Realms, making entry and exit requirements even stricter!
As for the rectification of Titan God Star, it was carried out by a Pinnacle-Level Immortal Soul Master invited by King Suimi. He used illusions to investigate everyone who had left Titan God Star, and indeed discovered quite a few individuals who had been Soul enslaved by foreign races.
Finally, King Suimi spent a huge sum to establish a planetary blockade network. Except for World Masters with exceptionally outstanding talent, strength, and will who could leave, others, even Immortal, had to be inspected before they could depart.
Understanding the importance of the matter, Woody said in a deep voice, "The Chai Fan incident must not be repeated!"
Chai Fan was the super Genius from Universe Star River Bank, emerging once every ten thousand epochs, who perished in the assassination.
"Protecting His Highness Ender's safe departure from Titan God Star is our top priority!"
Marquis Huangzhai also sat down cross-legged and said in a deep voice, "Besides the two of us, no one else can be trusted!"
Given the gravity of the matter, besides Immortal Brody, who was trusted by King Suimi and had been investigated during the Chai Fan incident, he truly couldn't trust anyone else.
Woody nodded in agreement, "For safety's sake, no one else can approach His Highness Ender."
After the two Immortal made their decision, they quietly waited for Ender to emerge from the Titan God Pool.
...
Titan God Holy Temple palace complex.
Inside the palace managing Titan God Star's affairs, an Immortal, whose Divine Body was over fifty meters tall, was observing messages from the past decade using the palace's equipment.
As an Immortal who had been Soul enslaved by a Zerg Immortal-level Queen and had fortunately escaped detection during the Chai Fan incident, he had been lurking on Titan God Star for countless years.
Lurking for countless years, waiting for countless years, all for one opportunity—an opportunity to assassinate a super Genius!
Today, that opportunity finally arrived, and his target was Ender, ranked NO.2 on the assassination list!
World Master Yeli entered the palace and respectfully said to Brody, the Immortal whose body was over fifty meters tall, "Lord Brody."
"I've read the report you just submitted." Brody nodded slightly, then asked, "The Titan God Pool's water level has dropped by one mark. Has such a significant matter been resolved?"
"Replying to Lord Brody," World Master Yeli respectfully answered, "Marquis Huangzhai is already handling this matter."
"Since Marquis Huangzhai is handling this matter, then I won't interfere." A look of surprise flashed in Woody's eyes, and he nodded at the same time, "You may return first."
"Yes!" World Master Yeli bowed and withdrew.
"Marquis Huangzhai…" After World Master Yeli left, Brody's Divine Power swept the surroundings to ensure no one else was present, and his expression turned gloomy. "With that meddlesome Marquis Huangzhai present, my success rate for assassinating NO.2 will be greatly reduced!"
A Marquis-level Immortal, even just an ordinary early-stage Marquis-level, could easily crush him, a high-level Military Lord-level Immortal.
As a Soul servant who absolutely obeyed his master's orders, Brody had long disregarded his own life and death, as well as the interests of the Titan God Race. As long as he could complete his master's orders, even destroying Titan God Star didn't matter!
"I cannot approach rashly!" Brody mused, "As a Disciple of an existence even greater than a Universe Venerable, NO.2 will surely be protected by Marquis Huangzhai and Woody. Approaching rashly will definitely attract the attention of both of them."
"Wait for an opportunity, when NO.2 is about to leave Titan God Star, and everyone relaxes their vigilance…"
...
Winter passed and spring came, through several cycles of cold and heat.
At a spot beside the Titan God Pool, the two Immortals had been quietly cultivating for over ten years, attracting the attention of many World Masters and Universe Venerables.
Due to the warning from the two Immortals, they did not approach the Titan God Pool. But even from a great distance, they could see the marked roots indicating that the Titan God Pool's water level had dropped by more than ten marks!
Woody thought, "This is already the sixteenth year, and there's no sign of His Highness Ender emerging."
Although he and Marquis Huangzhai were guarding Ender, they did not infuse Divine Power into the Titan God Pool, fearing that they might accidentally cause him to awaken prematurely.
Woody thought, "In the long history of my Titan God Race, many clansmen and Human Race Geniuses who entered the Titan God Pool to Cultivate did not even stay for a full year."
Woody thought, "Cultivating in the Titan God Pool for over ten years, I wonder how much His Highness Ender's size will increase."
...
Another month passed.
At the bottom of the Titan God Pool, a massive creature, over two hundred meters long, coiled among the roots of the Titan God Race's Sacred Tree, slowly revived.
"Ugh!"
Ender opened his eyes, which had been closed for many years, and a solemn look appeared in them. "The Titan God Power Fruit's effect is actually like Fusion with a Blood River Crystal, causing the user to temporarily lose control of their body!"
"Has sixteen years already passed?" He checked the time, feeling a bit surprised. "I actually stayed in the Titan God Pool for so long?"
He moved his arm slightly, touching a root of the Sacred Tree, which caused the pool water to ripple, with waves constantly spreading across the surface.
"My body…"
Having not controlled his body for a long time, after Ender regained control and familiarized himself with it for a while, he discovered something unusual.
"The effect of the Titan God Power Fruit…" He was somewhat shocked internally. "My body height has actually reached 238 meters, which is one hundred times what it was before I consumed the Titan God Power Fruit!"
What does a hundred-fold increase in body height mean? It means that in the future, when he becomes an Immortal, his Divine Body height will also be at this level!
The Human Race has never been known for its outstanding body height and Life Gene level. Among the many branches of the Human Race, Ender's current body height can be said, without exaggeration, to be at the highest level!
Ender was a bit excited, "A Divine Body height of 238 meters means that after I become Immortal, even without taking a Clone as a Divine Power supplement, I will be able to exhaust many foreign races with my Divine Power advantage." Ender was a bit excited, "Even if I don't achieve Perfect Gene, with a Divine Body height of 238 meters, my human main body will still have very high combat power."
After his excitement, he looked at his surroundings and found himself surrounded by countless roots, with the largest gap being only a little over ten meters, not enough for him to squeeze through.
"If I remember correctly, this tree is the Titan God Race's Sacred Tree. It seems I can't use violent means to get out of here."
Seeing this, Ender felt a bit helpless. A large physique wasn't entirely an advantage, so he released his Spiritual Force to probe the surroundings.
...
"This is…"
At the edge of the Titan God Pool, Woody and Marquis Huangzhai simultaneously sensed Spiritual Force fluctuations, and the source of the Spiritual Force fluctuations was the bottom of the Titan God Pool!
Woody said, "This Spiritual Force fluctuation means His Highness Ender has awakened."
Marquis Huangzhai said, "Since you're sure His Highness Ender has awakened, then go and investigate."
Upon hearing this, Woody used his Immortal Divine Power to penetrate the Titan God Pool's water. Soon, he discovered Ender, trapped among the numerous Sacred Tree roots, a colossal figure 238 meters tall, like a small mountain.
"How is this possible?!" Woody was shocked, "His Highness Ender's body height has actually increased to 238 meters, which is 100 times what it was before he entered the Titan God Pool!"
As one of the ancient Immortals of the Titan God Race, Woody was familiar with various tribal records and had seen Geniuses of 142 meters emerge from the Titan God Pool.
But a non-Titan God Race individual of 238 meters, he had never seen before!
Seeing Woody's shocked expression, Marquis Huangzhai quickly asked, "Woody, what's wrong?"
"You'll know in a moment." Woody said with a wry smile, "I'll bring His Highness Ender out first."
With that, he directly descended into the Titan God Pool, the water separated by his Immortal Divine Power.
Reaching the bottom of the pool, he said to Ender, who was amidst the many Sacred Tree roots, "His Highness Ender, please enter the World Ring first. I will take you out of the Titan God Pool."
Ender, who had already detected Woody with his Spiritual Force, entered the World Ring he sent, and was carried out of the Titan God Pool by him.
As soon as they left the Titan God Pool, Woody released Ender, who was wearing a Cloud Vine battle suit, from the World Ring.
Whoosh!
A colossal figure, 238 meters tall like a small mountain, appeared in the air, its shadow covering Marquis Huangzhai, whose body height was 'only' sixty-plus meters.
"This… How is this possible?!"
Marquis Huangzhai only felt the sunlight being blocked, and the surrounding light becoming somewhat dim, and the source of all this was Ender, whose body height had increased to 238 meters!
He felt his understanding being overturned. "According to the records of my Titan God Race throughout history, the tallest person to emerge from the Titan God Pool after consuming the Sacred Fruit was 142 meters!"
Ender looked down at Marquis Huangzhai, who was like a 'child' in size, and asked, "Lord, who is this?"
"His Highness Ender, this is Marquis Huangzhai, a Marquis-level Immortal stationed on Titan God Star. He is here to protect you."
Woody introduced, "While you were consuming the Sacred Fruit and Cultivating in the Titan God Pool, he and I have been guarding here together."
Upon hearing this, Ender realized, nodded, and thanked him, "Thank you, Marquis Huangzhai."
"Your Highness is too kind." Marquis Huangzhai nodded slightly.
"His Highness Ender." At this point, Woody said, "Your current body height means ordinary spacecraft can no longer carry you. Even on Titan God Star, such spacecraft are rare. We need to allocate a spacecraft from a palace outside Titan God Star, which might delay Your Highness a bit."
Ender nodded, "No problem."
He was well aware that many Human Race devices could not be used on him at his current body height, and spacecraft were just one of them.
Woody said, "Marquis Huangzhai and I will escort Your Highness to the nearest spacecraft docking city. By the time we fly there, the allocated spacecraft should have also arrived at the spacecraft docking city."
Having completed the first and third of the three Cultivate missions in Titan God World, Ender did not intend to stay on Titan God Star any longer, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Marquis Huangzhai and Lord Woody."
"Your Highness, pardon my offense."
Marquis Huangzhai said, and his Immortal Divine Power enveloped Ender, carrying him towards the nearest spacecraft docking city.
...
Blackwood City, this is the closest spacecraft docking city to the Titan God Holy Temple.
One spacecraft after another, certified by the System, were docked in this city. From time to time, spacecraft would take off or land, bringing or taking away some supplies.
In the city's database, Immortal Brody, who was examining the information in his hand, suddenly had his eyes light up. "NO.2, escorted by Marquis Huangzhai and Woody, is already heading towards Blackwood City. If I return to the Holy Temple now, I'll definitely meet them."
Closing the information in his hand, Brody walked out of the data room. Just as he was about to leave the city hall, he met someone head-on.
"Lord Brody." A World Master, upon seeing Brody walking towards him, quickly stepped aside, then respectfully saluted, "Did you find the information you were looking for? If not, I can help you find it."
"No need." Brody shook his head with a normal expression, "I've already found that information. It's time to return to the Holy Temple now."
Leaving the city hall, he transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Titan God Holy Temple at a moderate speed.
"It's them!"
After flying for just over twenty seconds, Woody sensed someone flying ahead, and they were using Immortal Divine Power to fly.
Sensing Immortal Divine Power fluctuations ahead, and after an investigation, Woody transmitted a message, "It's Brody."
"Lord Brody?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Huangzhai's nervous mood eased considerably.
Brody was an ancient Immortal, with a relatively rigid personality. Although not particularly likable, he had survived the great purge during the Chai Fan incident, so he should be trustworthy.
Both sides were Immortals, and their flying speed was astonishingly fast. Even without flying at full speed, they quickly allowed Ender to see the general appearance of the approaching person.
"Haha, Marquis Huangzhai, Woody, where are you two going?"
Brody flew while normally transmitting a message to Marquis Huangzhai and Woody, but inwardly, he was incredibly excited, shouting, "Closer! A little closer…"
