Chapter 421 Into the Unknown
Soon, they reached the middle depths. The liquid metal was much thicker here.
Benjamin transformed into a six-foot-tall, fluffy giant squirrel and bit down hard on the center.
Crack!
Joanna felt something shatter.
She understood immediately. Benjamin had used Gold Fang Seal-Break.
‘No barrier could withstand his bite.
A passage opened-just wide enough for a person.
Benjamin shifted back and pulled Joanna through.
“I’ve been reading Xavier’s research,” Benjamin explained. “There’s a legend in the Decennial Universe that the entire universe exists inside the body of some terrifying divine spirit.
“When a divine spirit dies, the universe explodes. A single drop of blood can birth an entire planet.
“So yeah, the Decennial Universe is basically a nesting doll.
“Layer after layer.
“Which means the Gilded River is probably the result of a god even more powerful than the usual ones. When it died, its Godfall Land leaked energy outward.
“What I just bit through was the hidden outer shell. The world wall.”
They passed through the shell and entered the true Godfall Land.
Joanna’s psychic perception was suppressed. If before she felt like she was drifting through open space, now she was inside an incomprehensibly massive corridor.
Joanna activated Body of Enlightenment to run a rapid analysis. The result stunned her.
“System Alert: Analysis complete, Current location: Inside the blood vessel of a Formless-tier divine entity.”
Not an evil god. But the word “Formless” told her everything about the scale of this being.
Benjamin whooped.

“I can feel it. We’re traveling through its veins right now.
If we follow the flow, we’ll reach the heart.
But we can’t
go
inside the heart itself. The pressure would crush us.”
He grabbed some of the liquid metal around them and, in seconds, shaped it into a machine. It looked like a submarine.
“Sit inside, Joanna. This god’s blood contains time-acceleration properties-it keeps the blood flowing. The speed will be extreme. I don’t want the current to hurt you.”
Joanna climbed in.
The sheer scale hit her.
A divine spirit that needed time-law acceleration just to keep its blood moving. How massive must it have
been?
Were the blood vessels tens of thousands of light-years long?
Then, it struck her. Time laws. That was the foundation of “Immortal Seed.”
She activated Body of Enlightenment again and began absorbing the time laws around her.
Her skill research progress surged.
Benjamin didn’t disturb her. He piloted the submarine.
The Gilded River above was just a wound-blood that had leaked from the dead god’s body. And that leak alone had created a ‘cosmic wonder.
Now, they were inside the actual
corpse.
The submarine cycled through the bloodstream, navigating branching paths, and finally approached the core,
Close to the heart.
But they couldn’t enter. They’d be crushed.
Even if they survived, the heart’s filtration system would eject them back into the bloodstream.
They could end up circulating for a decade while only one second passed outside.
That would mean losing ten years of their lives.

Thankfully, Benjamin had extremely sharp treasure-hunting instincts. He steered the submarine through a tight turn and crashed it against a rocky outcrop.
With a boom, the sub lodged in place.
Joanna’s eyes snapped open.
“What happened?”
“We’re near the heart, but we can’t go inside. I need to chew through the vessel wall to bypass it. Give me a moment.”
Benjamin left the submarine and grabbed onto the metallic flesh drifting in the golden current.
Transform. Devour.
In moments, he’d gnawed out a massive hole.
He dragged the submarine through. The opening sealed behind them. No more river flooding
The metal submarine reshaped itself into a vehicle.
Benjamin chewed the tunnel ahead. Joanna sat inside, waiting.
She
got out.
“Let me help.”
She activated Power Siphon and copied Gold Devourer’s Body, Treasure Vault Pouch, Giant Glider Form, and Gold Fang Seal-Break.
Joanna triggered Giant Glider Form. Despite having no distortion genes, she poofed into a giant glider.
Dark purple fur. Slightly smaller than Benjamin-about five foot eleven. But still fluffy.
Benjamin blinked. Then grinned.
“Joanna, you turned into a squirrel, too!”
Joanna couldn’t help but laugh.
“Nighthowl and the others don’t have a dedicated transformation ability. Mine is called Power Siphon. I can copy your skills,” Joanna explained.

Benjamin understood immediately. “My transformation can go way bigger than this. This is just the base size. You’ll also want to copy Treasure Tracker, Nano Shrink, and Invincible Gold Body.”
