He had thought countless times before that, even if he had the worst spiritual root, he could accept it.

Moreover, spiritual roots can be upgraded.

Chubby knew an inspiring cultivator who upgraded a one-star Shrimp Soldier spiritual root to a two-star Crab General spiritual root.

After much consideration, he decided to fuse with the Water God spiritual root.

Even the lowest-grade Water God spiritual root possesses one effect: supreme goodness is like water.

Henry Parker had too many old injuries. The energies of spiritual roots like Yang God, Yin God, or Earth Immortal could hardly help him be reborn. The Water God spiritual root, which could heal his wounds, was currently the best choice.

He once again focused on the more than eight hundred Shrimp Soldier spiritual roots, searching for one with potential.

Godhead fragments come in various sizes, each containing different amounts of energy and offering different benefits.

It is said that within the larger fragments, there might be a superpower—divine ability!

The ancient gods possessed vast divine abilities, with some mastering dozens or even hundreds of them.

For later cultivators, obtaining even a single divine ability could benefit them for life.

Henry Parker remained calm, using his mind to sense the mysteries of the Shrimp Soldier stars.

In the mythological system, there were far more than just one Shrimp Soldier, divided into many types, such as: Big Lobster Soldier, Small Lobster Soldier, Red Shrimp Soldier, White Shrimp Soldier, Prawn Soldier, Crystal Shrimp Soldier, Ghost Shrimp Soldier, Mantis Shrimp Soldier...

Henry Parker's soul seeped into those more than eight hundred stars, feeling a calling, but without a resonance that touched his soul.

Unwilling to give up, his soul flew across the star river, searching among countless stars.

Heaven rewards the diligent; finally, there was a star that resonated with him.

When he approached that star, he actually felt a sense of nervousness at returning home.

That feeling was indescribable. Without hesitation, Henry Parker let his soul take root there.

Chapter 5: Azure Water Divine Art

In the starry sky, an inconspicuous star shimmered faintly.

When Henry Parker's soul took root, a strong resonance was produced.

Billions of stars vanished into thin air.

In the upper dantian, only that tiny star remained.

The star transformed in countless ways, gradually turning into a mass of shadow.

That mysterious and unfathomable shadow was a wisp of the primordial spirit of the ancient Water God.

The Divine Court can be understood as the residence of the primordial spirit. That wisp of primordial spirit shadow entered Chubby's Divine Court and settled there from then on.

This scene had a name: Restoration.

The primordial spirit restored, the spiritual root was born.

The innate energy hidden within the primordial spirit poured down into the lower dantian.

The dantian, originally a mass of mist, now flickered with a divine light.

Within the divine light, a root segment floated.

That root was Henry Parker's spiritual root!

Above was the primordial spirit, below was the spiritual root.

The upper and lower echoed each other, indescribably wonderful.

The primordial spirit and the spiritual root formed a subtle connection, and ancient, vast thoughts surged into the depths of his soul.

【Mantis Shrimp Soldier: One-star Water God, one of the million Shrimp Soldiers of the Dragon Palace.】

【Mantis shrimp, also known as "pissing shrimp," contains abundant water and can store azure water.】

【Azure Water: the supreme essence of water, with endless marvelous uses, its power no less than the three thousand weak waters.】

【In ancient times, the Water God Gonggong discussed the supreme secret art "Azure Water Divine Art" with the Dragon King of the East Sea. Billions of beings in the East Sea listened to the two great powers expound the Dao, and many aquatic beings gained enlightenment and awakened.】

【Among the million Shrimp Soldiers, only this mantis shrimp comprehended the divine art from the teachings of the great powers.】

In the hospital room, a layer of water mist rose from Henry Parker's body.

A shadow shone above his head, enveloped in a layer of divine light, as if a deity had manifested.

While his soul searched in the spiritual world, three days and nights had passed in the real world. Several medical staff gazed at that layer of divine light, showing looks of regret.

A layer of divine light represented a one-star spiritual root, with a very low upper limit.

At this moment, Henry Parker had no time to care what others thought; he had reached a critical moment.

After the spiritual root formed, he possessed a faint trace of magical power.

That bit of magical power was almost negligible.

A problem arose: how could Chubby use this tiny bit of magical power to transform his body?

Suddenly, from the distant void, a drop of water descended.

Azure water!

The azure water hidden by the mantis shrimp soldier in the void crossed countless planes and surged into the dantian's qi sea.

The qi sea began to churn, waves surging.

It was as if rivers and seas were overturning, the momentum astonishing.

That single drop of water seemed to transform the entire ocean into fresh water.

Chubby's heart was in turmoil, unable to imagine why a mere drop of water could possess such terrifying power.

Under the transformation of that drop of azure water, surging magical power arose within the dantian.

The energy of the azure water was so vast that the entire qi sea could not contain it, instantly spreading to every part of his body.

The transformation began; this was the key point of awakening.

The energy wave formed during awakening would inevitably cleanse the marrow and wash the bones, causing a mortal to undergo transformation.

Chubby was mentally prepared; he had too many old injuries, and awakening would bring considerable pain.

Only now did he realize how understated the doctors' words "considerable pain" had been.

Crack!

Under the impact of the dantian's energy, a shockwave formed inside his body, shattering his bones piece by piece.

The pain exceeded the limits of human endurance, and Chubby immediately lost consciousness and fainted on the spot.
