In the universe, even the heirs of deified elites had better genes and more potential. But they weren't deified when they were born. They were like ordinary creatures. They had to level up on their own.
Narrow Moon's deified jade toad was like that. It had given birth to many toads, and they were all first-generation xenogeneics. They had to practice and evolve slowly. Most of them wouldn't become deified in the future. It all depended on how many resources they were given as they grew up.
Of course, there were cases where people were born deified, but they were rare. The most famous ones were the Ancient Gods, who were number two in the universe. They were born deified. They were primitive deifieds, and they had to level up. If nothing unexpected happened, they could become butterfly deifieds. A few of them could even become true gods.
Han Sen had seen Ancient Water God, which was a true god. The Ancient Water God's origin was still with Han Sen. If a new Ancient Water God was born, it would be another primitive deified.
But such cases were rare. They were rare even in the universe, and they were in the core area. It was difficult to have children, let alone be born deified.
Normally, deified xenogeneics had a high growth rate. If they had enough resources, they could become butterfly deifieds. They had a much higher chance of becoming true gods.
Li Keer and Exquisite looked at the small Crocodile God strangely. Born deifieds were the best "silkworms." They were the best of the best.
If they could become deified right away, they wouldn't have to work so hard to raise them. And their talents were guaranteed. They could become butterfly deifieds. If they were lucky, they could become true gods.
Li Keer's biggest goal was to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. She wanted to raise a butterfly silkworm.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Ancient Gods didn't want to become the Very High's silkworms, the Very High would have chosen the Ancient Gods to be their silkworms. Unfortunately, there were very few Very High that could get an Ancient God to be their silkworm.
Now, the small Crocodile God in front of them was a choice that wasn't any worse than the Ancient Gods. Li Keer and Exquisite were very interested.
However, they knew very well that now was not the time for them to choose silkworms. Their lives were still in the hands of others.
The small Crocodile God excitedly crawled over to the three of them. It stared at the three of them, and it seemed to be very curious.
However, its eyes were so small that no matter how hard it stared, it would still be the same.
Now, Han Sen knew he had been wrong about Crocodile God. He hadn't meant to look down on them. He was just born with eyes like that.
The big Crocodile God crawled back, too. It called out to the small Crocodile God. The black light around the small Crocodile God disappeared. Han Sen and the others felt the gravitational pull disappear. They all stood up.
Although they didn't know what the Crocodile God wanted to do, they were certain that the Crocodile God wasn't going to kill them.
Exquisite and Li Keer were good at sensing, so they could tell that Crocodile God wasn't going to kill them.
The big Crocodile God continued to crawl into the hole. The small Crocodile God climbed onto its back. It turned around and barked at Han Sen and the others.
Exquisite and Li Keer were good at sensing, so they knew what it meant. Han Sen's sensing abilities weren't as good, but he didn't need to sense to know that it was telling them to follow.
The three of them looked at each other. They had no choice but to follow. Exquisite and Li Keer couldn't escape, and Han Sen wanted to see why the Crocodile God had brought them there.
Han Sen didn't think the hole was too big, so he didn't think it would be too deep. But after entering it, he realized he was wrong. It was a bottomless pit that led straight to the core of the planet.
The three of them followed the two Crocodile Gods down. They didn't know how long they had been sinking, but they eventually reached the core of the planet. It was like a sea of lava.
Calling it a sea of lava wasn't accurate. The dark red liquid was much finer. It was like the burning hydrogen on the sun.
"This must be the core of this planet. This is where the Crocodile God lives."
Exquisite couldn't help but frown. She had used the Very High Sense to sense this place, but she had only found the sea. She hadn't found the small Crocodile God.
Splash! The big Crocodile God carried the small Crocodile God into the sea. The scary heat didn't seem to affect them at all. It was like they were in an ordinary hot spring.
The small Crocodile God barked at Han Sen and the others. It was telling them to follow.
"Crocodile Gods, your bodies can withstand that kind of heat, but we can't," Han Sen said with resignation.
Just standing near the sea made him feel as if his Dongxuan Armor was going to melt. If they entered the sea, they wouldn't be able to withstand the heat.
The big Crocodile God's body flashed with black light. Han Sen and the others were covered in a layer of black light. The heat disappeared.
The small Crocodile God barked at them a few more times. It was urging them to come down.
The big Crocodile God wasn't so nice, though. Han Sen and the others were still hesitating about whether or not they should follow. Suddenly, they felt their bodies become heavy. They began to fall into the sea like dumplings.
Fortunately, they had the black light to protect them. They didn't feel the heat, and they were being pulled down. When they could see again, they found themselves out of the burning sea.
They were in the center of the planet, and it was the size of a city. This was the only place that wasn't burning. But what they saw shocked Han Sen and the others.
Even Exquisite's eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
In the center of the planet, there was a building that looked like a space fortress. It was obviously man-made. It couldn't have been formed naturally.
The entire space fortress looked very modern. Everything was made of crystal. But because that magical space fortress had been damaged, most of the crystal machines had stopped working. Only a few of them were still flashing. They were blinking like emergency lights.
When Han Sen saw what the space fortress looked like and the machines, he was shocked. He almost screamed, "No way!
Why does this look like a crystallizer control room? "
