Chapter 378 – Cat Dad Faction''s Major Casualties!
150 Stars.
200 Stars.
300 Stars.
Because of the overwhelming contributions of the butterflies, Xiaomao weed countless threads of Providence Qi. However, every time they died, the heartache and guilt pained Xiaomao.
They were created from his Dao, and they innocently sacrificed their lives for him to grow stronger. He wanted them to stop, but they kept self-detonating.
''I''m too weak! I''m so useless!''
Two lines of bloody tears directly rolled from Xiaomao''s eyes. Then, the marks permanently embedded into his skin as if the bloody tear wanted to remind Xiaomao for the rest of his life about his cultivation method.
''Your lives, your souls, and everything you did for me, I swear I''ll never forget you all! I''ll create my dantian universe and be a ce for your descendants to live happily and peacefully for eternity. I''ll resurrect your souls and reincarnate you! I''ll be a god for you!''
VRRRR
As Xiaomao''s mindset and ideal solidified, his Daos flourished. A halo appeared on every dao avatar''s head as their daos werepleted. Afterward, the element stars began spitting smalls to orbit around themselves.
Star systems were born as the suns of element cores gave birth to lessor dao avatars to serve them. These retainers then used the element essence of their parents to generate more subordinates.
As mores appeared, new suns grew faster topete for space in the dantian universe.
Xiaomao didn''t pay attention to the stars and their subordinates in their star system. He only gazed at the butterflies, trying to remember their traits, faces, and signatures of their spirits. Then, he marked them with a number before they disappeared.
As Xiaomao marked them, faint karma strings appeared and tied with Xiaomao''s soul. Afterward, his soul gave the karma strings a drop of element essence and formed transparent crystals to store their existence.
Using the memory that the ck butterfly showed him, he created his version of entity crystals to store their souls!
When the entity crystals werepleted, the karma string that hadtched on Xiaomao''s soul detached from him and resided there. Then, a cat''s face emerged in the crystals.
"Munya!"
The voice of the newborn souls meowed before they went into a deep slumber, waiting for the day that they coulde back to the dantian universe with new physical bodies.
As Xiaomao earnestly strived to be a god of these butterflies, he received a system message inside his dantian universe. Hidden messages from Mu-Nyang showed up.
DING
<If you''re reading this, that means you''re pursuing a higher path of a transcendent sage, munya! I''m very proud of you! Oh, don''t worry about the butterflies or newborn souls. They were born from the byproduct of your Daos, so you''re the origin of their existence. As long as you are alive, they can be resurrected and reincarnated, munya!>
<Until then, do not forget what you''re feeling right now. Also, don''t get obsessed with your creatures and forget about your friends and family in the real world. They are as important as the little ones, munya!>
<A few tips from your senior, in the future, some of yourrades might fall while you''re on the journey to be a sage. Most of them can simply be reborn without your help. However, a few, such as the lost souls of the past eras, can join your dantian universe as its local poption, munya. If you and the lost souls are bound with karma, you can draw their souls into your dantian, and you know what to do, munya!>
Xiaomao widened his eyes and stared at the messages. He stopped crying and clenched his fists.
''That''s right. It''s not the end. I will resurrect you all!''
RUMBLE
As Xiaomao stopped being depressed, his cultivation speed soared. The butterflies reacted to Xiaomao''s mood and happily joined his universe as strands of providence Qi.
500 Stars.
700 Stars.
900 STARS!
1,200 STARS!
Instead of stopping at 777 stars as Wei Huang had advised, Xiaomao embraced the will of the butterflies and carried their burden and dream in his heart. The providence Qi resonated with his soul and multiplied!
.
In Xiaomao''s house, a halo manifested and hovered over his head, yet his level remained at 999.
DING
A bracket appeared behind Xiaomao''s level. Now, his level indicator had something extra.
Xiaomao, the Chaos Seraphim, Level 999 (1,200)
DING
Xiaomao, the Chaos Seraphim, Level 999 (1,300)
Xiaomao, the Chaos Seraphim, Level 999 (1,400)
Xiaomao, the Chaos Seraphim, Level 999 (1,500)
His level in the bracket kept increasing, but he remained a mortal. It rose to 2,000 and stopped there.
When the growth stopped, three rainbow butterflies came out from Xiaomao''s feathers and transformed into spirits.
They were the souls of Wei Feng, Wei Xiong, and Wei Huang!
The three former Oni gazed at Xiaomao, who was busy cultivating. They smiled and shrank into his dantian, entrusting their souls to him.
''I believe in you.''
''The Wei n is in your hands.''
''We''re proud of you.''
After they vanished, Xiaomao reopened his eyes. He muttered, "Leave it to me!"
Xiaomao deeply exhaled and changed into his game appearance. He brought out the seven evolution materials from his game inventory. He drew a big dipper array and put each material on the star location.
Cathulhu Essence Core
Crystalized Catnip Essence
Refined Entity Crystal
Karmic Soul Stone
Karma Fish
Ancient Dao Stone of Chaos Seraphim
Akachic Memory Card
Xiaomao gazed at the materials and thought of his past adventure. It met so many powerful immortals and deities along the way and befriended them. However, he always hid behind their shadow as he was just a little powerless mortal.
But now, he would be an immortal like them.
"Let''s go, munya! I won''t hide anymore!"
The big dipper array lit up and formed a magic circle around the catopus. Then, the game system window prompted him with a confirmation message.
DING
<Immortal Ascension Ritual has been detected. Will you advance to the immortal realm?>
<Warning! Your ount vites the terms of services of Pangu Universe Incorporate. You cannot use the resurrection feature.>
Xiaomao scoffed at the warning messages as he was already prepared for Pangu''s cheap tricks. He shouted, "Evolve me, munya!"
DING
<Evolving your character…>
The seven evolution materials brightened and transformed into streaks of light. They flew up and entered Xiaomao''s forehead.
DING
<You have inherited all traits of evolution materials.>
<Your physique will undergo a change. Please stand by.>
Xiaomao''s physique grewrger. New tentacles grew out from the bottom of hisrge cat head while two feather wings manifested from the back of his head.

Four cats gazed upon a certain. Mu-Nyang, Mir, Miao Damao, and Katerina sat there, watching over Xiaomao by relying on Mu-Nyang''s vision.
"Xiaomao…" Katerina wished she could be by his side.
"He''ll be fine. He''s a big boy now," Miao Damao soothed his wife and nced at his master.
Mu-Nyang assured them, "His fate is stronger than Mao Miaomiao, Xie Tian, Hiiro, or any protagonist, munya. He WILL survive this battle royale!"
Mir deeply exhaled and nced at Meowmeow, Madoka, and Ma Xingjuan. She began to worry about them.
"What about them? They''re going to die at this rate, mew!"
"You don''t have to worry about that, munya!"
Mu-Nyang cackled and summoned a gigantic system screen that covered the sky. It broadcasted the movements of game world number three, and the camera focused on a certain angel.
Mao Miaomiao was a few minutes away from Gnoll Ind!
.
.
= Gnoll Ind =
Zhunti, Hongjun, and All-Heaven Sage red at the iing angel. They clicked their tongues as they expected his arrival.
Meanwhile, Ma Moxi reemerged and grabbed Ma Xingjuan. Both of them vanished together, fleeing from the fight.
Meowmeow revealed a bitter smile as he slowly recovered from the injuries, "I guess I have plot armor, munya."
Madoka wasn''t so lucky. She thought of her master, who had been leaking the aura of a ster constetion immortal from the depth of the dungeon.
"Master… I will be one with you soon…"
"SHUT UP, YOU!"
Zhunti bellowed and pointed his finger at Madoka. Her dantian exploded, cutting off her chance to survive.
As soon as Madoka''s dantian was detonated, her dantian universe dissipated into dust along with the creatures on the stars ands. Her pupils dimmed, and her consciousness faded to ck.
"…"
Despite seeing his colleague die, Meowmeow was silent. He noticed that the true soul of Madoka already fled, using the karma bond between her and Xiaomao. In a few seconds, her soul would reach Xiaomao, and he had the option to bring her into his dantian universe to resurrect her.
"HAHAHAHA! See that? An invincible goddess of the sea just died! GODS CAN BLEED! HAHAHAHA!!" Zhunti mocked Meowmeow as he prepared to finish him off as well.
Meowmeow closed his eyes. He regretted that he didn''t get a chance to bid Xiaomao farewell. Although he was depressed, he made a big decision.
Meowmeow bit the tip of his tongue and protected his dantian universe with his providence essence before he made a drastic move.
"I pray to Lord Mao Miaomiao, munya. Sentinel Meowmeow wishes to return to master''s dantian universe. I hereby surrender my strength, memory, and my freedom... in exchange of Xiaomao''s safety."
Meowmeow looked up and his eyes met with Mu-Nyang''s. The former slightly nodded, "Godspeed, my king."
Mu-Nyang from the moon quietly replied, ''See you in a few million years. Rest well, munya.''
Meowmeow closed his eyes and hisrge physique dissipated into particles. He did exactly what Xiaomao''s butterflies did for their creator.
As soon as Hongjun noticed what Meowmeow was doing, he panicked, "DESTROY THOSE DUST! BURN THEM ALL! DON''T LET HIM REJOIN MAO MIAOMIAO!"
All-Heaven Sage was confused, "What are those, master?"
"Sacrificial Ritual! Servants of Chaos Seraphim can sacrifice their lives to strengthen their masters! Chaos Seraphims can also collect souls from this universe into their dantians and resurrect them! They get stronger every time they perform the ritual!"
All-Heaven Sage and Zhunti''s expressions changed. They turned to the particles of Meowmeow, which had transformed into Providence Essence dust.
It was toote. The dust transformed into streaks of light and flew toward the iing Chaos Seraphim.
.
.
Mao Miaomiao''s eyes were bloodshot. He med himself for wasting his time ying with his two wives on the walking continent.
He saw everything. He witnessed how Zhunti killed Madoka and how Hongjun crippled Meowmeow to the point that hemitted suicide to turn himself into energy for him.
It had been a long time since Mao Miaomiao was enraged.
WHOOSH
Providence Essence of Meowmeow jetted into Mao Miaomiao''s dantian. In his dantian universe, the essence drops merged and be an embryo of Meowmeow''s soul. However, the soul was so weak that Meowmeow might not be able to retain his memory in the next life.
Because of rage, Mao Miaomiao''s wings turned pitch ck. His purple aura got darker while the purple butterflies around him ckened.
His appearance was now the same as Devil when she was a man. After all, Mao Miaomiao was the clone of Devil, one of seven prototype marites that once terrorized the universe!
"HONGJUN!"
Mao Miaomiao bellowed as he rapidly recovered his former strength.
In a few seconds, Mao Miaomiao reached the battlefield. Faster than the speed of light, he charged at Zhunti.
Zhunti, All-Heaven Sage, and Hongjun activated their mandate domains to intercept.
CLICK-CLICK-CLICK
But suddenly, they could not move.
Mao Miaomiao stopped time!
BOOM
The angel''s fist punctured Zhunti''s face. The former pulled his fist out and vertically sliced the holed head with his barehand. Because of the great forces andws behind Mao Miaomiao''s mandate domain, Zhunti was cleaved in half.
He turned to All-Heaven Sage next. The next second, thetter noticed the iing palm, which came for his head.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
Hongjun bellowed and negated the time-stopping mandate domain''s effects on him. He created an aura spear and thrust it toward Mao Miaomiao.
The Chaos Seraphim only nced at the spear tip. Before it could reach him, the spear tip sank into a void hole as if Mao Miaomiao''s skin hid a gap between this universe and another dimension.
Another void hole appeared in front of Hongjun, and the same spear tip shot out, using Hongjun''s own power.
"!!!"
Hongjun tilted his head and narrowly dodged his own spear aura. However, this caused an opening.
All-Heaven Sage, who couldn''t negate Mao Miaomiao''s time domain, was still vulnerable!
And Mao Miaomiao''s palm reached him!
BOOM!
In one hit, All-Heaven Sage''s head exploded like a watermelon.
Mao Miaomiao hadn''t finished. His deity avatar came out from his ck wings. He had the appearance of Samael, the 13th archangel of the Trumpet Alliance.
The archangel reached out his hand for All-Heaven Sage and Zhunti''s corpses.
WHOOM
A wisp of Zhunti and All-Heaven Sage''s souls came out from the dead bodies. Like a ma, the deity avatar sucked the soul wisps to his hands. Then, he vanished into Mao Miaomiao''s dantian.
"GIVE THEM BACK!" Hongjun was enraged.
"You fuck around, you find out."
Mao Miaomiao scoffed as he clenched both hands. Then, Hongjun sensed that both souls were destroyed in Mao Miaomiao''s dantian universe!
"NOOOO!!"
Mao Miaomiao opened his right hand, and his soul-bound katana manifested. He unsheathed her and got into a piercing stance.
"Killer Queen. Time to hunt another main character. You have providence essence to eat."
''YEEEHAW! BRING IT, BITCH!''
