The Strongest Body Customization System-Chapter 88: Nine Paths Elder God Form

At the age of 312, Zero began to live in the Shattered Plane. He could not leave the place for fifty years, so he used this time to think and reflect. It was the first time in his life that he had ever lost so badly. Before that, he never trained, never studied, and never respected anyone. Everything came easy for him. But now, he had a goal. He wanted to get stronger. He wanted to beat Ian. He wanted to become a real God, not just in name, but in power.

At the age of 313, Zero started to walk around the rivers of the Shattered Plane. He saw many souls in boats, moving quietly across the waters. He kept his distance from the black-robed skeletons who guided the boats. He remembered his father’s warning. But he also became more curious. One night, he tried to talk to one of the souls in the boat. The soul had no mouth, no face, and no words. But somehow, Zero felt pain in his head after the meeting. It gave him strange dreams about energy, time, and light.

At the age of 314, Zero learned how to quiet his own energy. He could now hide his presence from the Wraiths and move more freely. This gave him more time to explore the land. He found broken towers, fallen gates, and lost items from other worlds. He collected these and tried to make sense of them. Some of them gave him new ideas. Some of them gave him new questions. But most of all, they gave him a purpose.

At the age of 316, Zero began his first real training. He used the strange energy from the Shattered Plane to push his body. The place had no sun, no rest, and no food. But his body changed. His bones grew harder. His mind became more clear. His power became more stable. He started to build his own form of God Energy. He called it "Black Origin Ki." It was cold, quiet, and smooth. It was not like the loud and hot power of his old self. It was something new.

At the age of 320, Zero made his first breakthrough. He developed a new transformation. He did not name it, but it made his body glow in black and silver. His voice changed. His thoughts became faster. He could now feel the Wraiths watching him. But they did not stop him. He thought they were testing him.

At the age of 325, Zero remembered Ian. He thought of his smile, his green eyes, and the way he beat him without full power. He felt anger, but also respect. He no longer saw Ian as a monkey, but as a wall he needed to break. He made a plan. After leaving the Shattered Plane, he would search for old gods, forgotten books, and hidden energy.

At the age of 328, Zero no longer feared death. He now feared being weak.

...

At the age of 350, Ian decided to stop fighting and focus on the mind. After his last battle, Adam gave him a technique called "Cold Mind." Adam did not explain much, only that it would help Ian control himself better, especially as a god. Ian trusted him, so he accepted the knowledge. But it was not easy. The Cold Mind needed full stillness for one thousand years. No movement. No anger. No joy. Just thought and control. Ian sat at the edge of the galaxy and closed his eyes. He did not leave his spot for a long time.

At the age of 1000, Ian finally opened his eyes. He had finished the Cold Mind technique. His thoughts were now clear. His emotions were still inside him, but they could not control him anymore. He could feel things, but he no longer reacted fast or wildly. During the same time, something else happened. His blood, which had always been strong because of his vampire bloodline, reached a new stage. Without warning, a new transformation appeared. His body became tall and sharp. His hair and armor turned silver and white. A pair of smooth horns grew from his head. His voice echoed with quiet power. This was not his doing. It just happened. He called it the " Nine Paths Elder God Form." It was the sign that his blood had reached elder purity, and accidentally combined with his Nine Paths God Transformation, which was quite a windfall.

At the age of 1001, Ian received a call from the God Realm. He was told that he could now enter the God Realm fully. Before, he was always seen as an outsider or newbie-god. But now that he had kept the peace in the North Galaxy for 1000 years, he had finished his duty (Although he just actually sat in meditation most of the time since no major events required him to meddle, the last one being zero).

He was now ready. A golden gate appeared in front of him. He walked through it and left his old galaxy behind. He had done what no one else in his world had done.

At the age of 1002, Ian arrived in the God Realm. It was large, calm, and different. The gods were all strong. Some were friendly, some were cold. Ian did not talk much, only listened. He began to live there quietly. He joined no groups, made no enemies, and looked for no fights. He just wanted to understand the place.

At the age of 1005, Ian heard news of an old god who lost his rank after breaking a rule. He did not ask questions. He just listened. A year later, a war almost broke out between two middle gods over land. Ian stayed far away. He just learned from the news.

At the age of 1010, Ian had already walked most parts of the God Realm. He now understood its rules, its people, and its power levels. He did not care to be famous or feared. He just wanted to grow stronger in peace. He never forgot Zero, but he no longer waited for him. He knew that when Zero came back, the world would change again. But for now, Ian stayed low-key and just played the role of a spectator.
