I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

The Magic Cube hovered silently above the Great Sea Shell, yet the Crab Beast and the Beast King Sponge below were completely unaware.

The Sponge Beast had completed its seventh evolution, becoming the first and only god-level beast on Blue Star. It was now the undisputed Beast King of the planet.

Su Ze could only rely on the Magic Cube to avoid being detected by the Beast King Sponge. If he left the ship, even extending a mere wisp of Spiritual Power or a single Perception Tentacle, there would be no escaping the god-level beast’s senses.

Moreover, the Magic Cube itself possessed no offensive capabilities. The weapons it carried were later additions.

Therefore, Su Ze couldn’t use the Magic Cube to fight the Sponge Beast, nor could he leave the ship to steal the Sands of Time from beneath the Great Sea Shell.

The best way was to wait for the Nian Race and the Sponge Beast to start fighting. He could then use the Magic Cube to sneak in and steal the Sands of Time.

’The Sponge Beast values this place so much, it’ll probably try to keep the fighting away from here. When the time comes, it’ll likely just leave the Crab Beast and the Great Sea Shell on guard. One of them is brainless, and the other isn’t much smarter. Dealing with them shouldn’t be too difficult...’

Su Ze analyzed the situation and felt his plan was very promising.

Now, he just had to wait for the Beast King Sponge and the Nian Race to start fighting.

King Mu once said that the Divine Dice contained a god-level artifact left by the Nian Race. To fight the Beast King Sponge, they would definitely need to use that artifact.

From now on, he just had to keep an eye on the Divine Dice. The moment they retrieved the god-level artifact from it would be the signal that they were about to move against the Beast King Sponge.

Su Ze didn’t linger. He piloted the ship out of the Central Sea and flew straight for the capital of Lin Hua Continent.

He planned to meet up with Chen Suifeng and discuss their next steps.

...

He had just called Chen Suifeng, and a moment later, the Magic Cube was already hovering over Chen Suifeng’s villa.

Su Ze shrank the ship, landed it in Chen Suifeng’s yard, and then disembarked with Mr. Ya.

Pulamon also concealed its aura, following behind the two of them.

A few minutes later, Chen Suifeng hurried home and grumbled, ”You could’ve given me a heads-up. I had to rush back before I could even finish my lunch.”

For Chen Suifeng, who was meticulous about his mealtimes, having lunch interrupted was a particularly infuriating affair.

”I called you while I was still in the Central Sea,” Su Ze said innocently.

”Who are you kidding? I’m old, not senile.” Chen Suifeng rolled his eyes and lit an after-meal cigarette.

Su Ze just smiled. With a mere thought, the invisible Magic Cube in the yard materialized.

”Come on, Mr. Chen. Let me show you what Sun God-level speed feels like.”

Chen Suifeng, still in a daze, was pulled onto the ship by Su Ze. They flew a full circle around Lin Hua Continent, and by the time they returned, his cigarette was still long, having barely burned at all.

”Holy shit! This is fucking...” Chen Suifeng cursed colorfully. ”Did you get this from the Inheritance Treasure Vault?”

Su Ze nodded. ”Even an average Sun God-level powerhouse couldn’t catch the Magic Cube. When fully charged, it can withstand a full-powered attack from one. With this ship, we have an escape route...”

Su Ze gave a brief introduction of the Magic Cube.

Chen Suifeng’s eyes lit up as he listened. It was true; with the Magic Cube, they were no longer like sheep trapped in a pen, but now possessed the ability to escape at any time.

He pondered for a moment, then said, ”It looks like you’re starting to prepare to leave Blue Star. For you, leaving is the easy part. The hard part will be establishing yourself out in the universe. Your strength still isn’t sufficient.”

”After all, you can’t just hide on the ship your whole life. If you haven’t reached the god level but you possess a Sun God-level Spaceship, on top of your status as a member of the Human Race—a rare species in the universe—you’re basically a walking treasure chest.”

Su Ze nodded again. ”It would be best to leave Blue Star after I’ve become a god, or when I’m close to it. I plan to leave after collecting the fourth puzzle piece and obtaining the inheritance. As for the fourth piece, I already have some clues. It should be in the hands of an evolver in the region of the old Sunset Empire.”

”The Sunset Empire from a thousand years ago...” Chen Suifeng frowned. ”That region has quite a few small human settlements now, but we’ve never had any contact with them. Tracking it down will be difficult.”

”It’s no problem. I have the Magic Cube. Getting there will only take the blink of an eye. I can take my time searching the area,” Su Ze said.

Chen Suifeng nodded slightly. ”Besides the mysterious inheritance, there’s something else you need to focus on. You should push yourself and try to break through to the legendary level soon.”

”Why?” Su Ze asked, puzzled.

”The Alien Party will probably make a move against that Sponge Beast soon. They’ve held multiple meetings. The Sponge Beast must have already completed its seventh evolution.”

”I just came from the Central Sea. It has indeed become a Rank-7 beast.”

’So the Nian Race really does have a way to monitor Blue Star’s energy fluctuations. The Beast King Sponge must have just completed its seventh evolution, and the Alien Party is already taking action.’

Chen Suifeng continued, ”You have to become legendary-level as soon as possible. Only then will you have a chance to get that Rank-7 extract!

”They’re hunting the Rank-7 beast for its extract, which they’ll use to cultivate a god-level powerhouse for the Human Race. If you can get that Rank-7 extract, you’ll become a god that much faster!

”They’ll definitely choose the candidate for a human god from among the legendary-level powerhouses. The competition isn’t that fierce. Of the three legendary figures on Lin Hua Continent, Jiang Pingle is one of the Nian Race, Mr. Ke is too old and has no chance of becoming a god, which only leaves Deng Sui...”

Su Ze interjected, ”Deng Sui is most likely one of the Nian Race, too.”
