My Core is the Boss

Thunder further explained, "I once met an exceptional prodigy who is only a single step away from the True God realm. Sadly, his talent surpassed even that of the No-Food Goddess. No matter how many supreme treasures he received, he still could not break through to the True God realm."

At this point, Thunder's eyes filled with boundless sorrow. Even a true dragon would be unable to reach the True God realm if it went against this rule.

Nevertheless, the sadness on his face came quickly and left just as fast. "Brat, let's hope that your talent isn't too outrageous. Otherwise, it'd be rather amusing if you get stunted."

Qi Yuan became dumbfounded. "So, if my talent exceeds that of the No-Food Goddess, her supreme treasures become useless?"

Thunder nodded vigorously and grinned. "Mhm. But you need not worry. Although your talent is impressive, it's nowhere near hers. In this whole world, only a few actually surpass her. On the path of cultivation, talent isn't everything."

Still, Qi Yuan sighed, suspecting the opposite. "I’m doomed. What if I really am stronger than her? Did the No-Food Goddess have Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? What about a Star Golden Core?"

Thunder felt as though he had been choked. "Can you stop bragging? Even the Destiny Child isn't this shameless!"

Qi Yuan, however, seemed deeply dejected. "Apparently, having extraordinary talent is also a kind of sin. In the past, when people said the rich have their own troubles, I scoffed at them. Now, I finally understand their suffering. It's like craving for ten steamed buns, yet having a stomach so small that they can only eat one at a time."

Beside him, Qi Qi smiled faintly. "Godfather, let’s go look for more treasures. You’ll definitely be able to step into the True God realm."

Feeling dispirited, Qi Yuan uttered, "My earlier thinking was too idealistic. I once thought of visualizing all the powerful immortals of the Heavenly Court. But it seems that many of them are even stronger than the No-Food Goddess. Even if I visualize them, they still wouldn’t be able to break through to the True God realm."

Does that mean I could only visualize small fry? Qi Yuan pondered.

Thunder seemed puzzled. "Wasn’t it the Huaxia Dragon Group? How did it become the Heavenly Court again?"
