The Era of Gods

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Anxiety for Nothing

Compared to before, a True Name had been added, but it was still in the process of condensing. He estimated that once he ascended to Medium Divine Power and reconstructed the Reincarnation priesthood, he would acquire it.

The divine name and such had changed slightly, but it held little significance, as it varied with the priesthood.

The biggest change was the acquisition of two Ancient God’s Divinities, namely Origin and Destruction.

Two New Divine Professions were reduced, specifically Creator and Life.

The consequence was that now, if the remaining three Incarnations of God were to die, he would not be able to separate them out again. Based on his current priesthood and the theoretical God Level, he could only separate out one Truth Incarnation.

It was also fortunate that those two incarnations were not in the Main World. If they had been near his True Body within the Divine Realm, the Incarnations of God would have disappeared instantly with the change in priesthood. @@novelbin@@

The abilities of the Extraordinary godhood had changed slightly, with the addition of a few priesthood-specific Extraordinary godhood abilities.

These were the spells representing Origin—Creation, and those representing Destruction—Life Reset and Destruction, all of which were extremely powerful abilities of Extraordinary godhood.

The current changes weren’t too significant; it was foreseeable that, once Lin Xiao’s True Body ascended to Medium Divine Power and condensed the Reincarnation priesthood, with the incarnations returned, an earth-shattering transformation would occur immediately.

Understanding the Divinity changes in his heart, Lin Xiao’s consciousness returned to the Divine Realm, where a tremendous surprise was waiting for him.

That was the partial Origin Core of the Crystal Wall System, which had its consciousness wiped clean.

If measured by percentage, it was at most twenty percent of that shattered Crystal Wall Universe’s complete Origin, maybe a little less, but it was already an indescribably huge benefit for Lin Xiao.

For other deities, the greatest benefit was the enhancement of one’s essence, whether it was the god body or the Divinity’s Divine Fire.

To put it plainly, ordinary deities that integrated it could refine an Ancient god body, acquire an Ancient God’s Divinity, and become an Ancient God with immense potential.

Given the strength of this object, it could cause its integrator to leap past many tiers coveted by other Sons of the Divine Realm, becoming an Ancient God even more powerful than those with Powerful Divine Power.

Very cool!

But Lin Xiao could not integrate it in such a way.

Since it was incomplete and broken, integrating it as it was could cause insurmountable issues when trying to fill in the incomplete rules in the future.

Of course, for ordinary True Gods, this wasn’t a problem. The immediate power comparable to Powerful Divine Power was a luxury, so what was there to consider?

But Lin Xiao couldn’t do so because his requirements were much higher than others.

He could only refine it, using it to enhance the Core of the Crystal Wall System’s Origin he had merged with, since, after reconstruction, it was complete—all ninety-nine of the Fundamental Laws were intact and needed no mending. Enhancing it meant not only would his own strength increase, but many of his subordinates that depended on the laws he had bestowed would also grow stronger.

Simply put, one aspect was his own strength, and the other was the enhancement of the whole. By merging with this remnant Origin of the Crystal Wall, many of his subordinates could directly step into the realm of True Gods.

And it wasn’t just the current Clan Leaders. The remaining seventy or eighty Fundamental Laws, once bestowed, could immediately create numerous Ancient Gods. It was obviously more profitable than direct integration.

He was doing just that now. The rhombic crystal that resembled a Divinity appeared in the sea of his soul, exploding into fragments as he willed it, melding those fragmented rules into his soul’s sea, inside the Core of the Crystal Wall System’s Origin, slowly integrating with the Fundamental Laws that emerged there.

Supplementing and enhancing.

The strength and Divine Power of the numerous heroic subordinates within his God’s realm began to increase rapidly at that moment, soon crossing a certain threshold between High-Level Demigods and True Gods, ascending to True Gods.

At that moment, within another level of Lin Xiao’s God Country, surrounding his central Divine Palace, nine slightly smaller palaces began to emerge, and nine figures enveloped in endless divine light gradually appeared within the God Country, each entering their own Temple.

Once they stepped into the realm of True Gods, their True Bodies could no longer stay indoors within the Divine Realm.

The God Country was only so big, and any being that attained godhood would undergo a transformation in the essence of their life, continuously radiating Divine Power and affecting the surroundings, warping and altering the will of mortals who stayed nearby for extended periods.

This was the innate authority of True Gods, not subject to the whims of the True God. Even if you didn’t wish it, the change would happen automatically.

The nine Temples surrounding the central Divine Palace represented the nine True Gods, led by the Saint of War Slarda, including High Priest Afilia, Star Spirit Alemente, Tide Lord Akens, Lord of the Earth’s Divine Furnace, Queen of Water Elements Ding Dang, the Dragon Turtle Deity’s True Son, the Flame Lord Kurbert, and the Guardian, Black Dragon Nejelanmu.

As heroes who were enthroned as gods relying on Lin Xiao, and dependent on the Origin Core of the Crystal Wall System, their strength grew with the power of the Origin he had merged with. After devouring and integrating this part of the remnant Origin, their Divine Professions remained unchanged, but the God Level of their Ancient God Divinity had all broken through the Fifth Level, on par with Weak Divine Power.

In other words, he now had nine Ancient God subordinates who were stronger than the average bearers of Weak Divine Power.

And as long as he wished, as long as there was enough Divine Power stored, he could immediately obtain ninety-nine Ancient Gods with a God Level of five.

At the start, the first batch of heroes all became Deified, and now his God realm has entered the second phase, with new leaders being born in succession.

Every race has seen the continuous emergence of new heroes and leaders. At this time, the number of Clans is far greater than before, and naturally, their number has also increased.

The surging Divine Power roared within his powerful god body, which, under normal circumstances, would have pleased Lin Xiao greatly, but although he was happy now, his joy was somewhat diminished.

His Incarnation had not sent back any feedback. He could feel that the Incarnation was not dead, but he did not know its current state. The Incarnation, in the Black Hole State, was completely unaware of the outside world and could only continue to devour Chaos Energy and World Fragments. As a result, this Incarnation had become stronger and stronger, far more powerful than before, but the connection with his True Body was growing weaker, as if the distance between them was increasing.

So now the question arose, how should he explain this to others?

The War Zone was teeming with leaders, who spared no expense in energy to open the Super War Fortress to rescue him, only to find that he was unharmed… How should he explain this?

This gave him a considerable headache.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that he had indeed called in favors.

So many Generals with Powerful Divine Power rushed back to save him, which cost favors. Many Generals in the Fortress owed him favors, and this time he had used them all at once, only to suddenly say they might not be needed, which was absurd.

Of course, explaining was not really an issue, and at worst, it would be a bit embarrassing. The main concern was that the favors had already been spent.

It wasn’t that his being unharmed meant the favors didn’t count. Besides the consumption of opening the Super War Fortress, many higher-ups had their own affairs, and now they had set aside their own matters to rescue him. This would certainly count as calling in a favor.

Thus, after all the fanfare, he was left with nothing but solitude.

Fortunately, his True Body was undamaged. Looking at it from another angle, if the favors were gone, so be it, as long as he was safe.

Although the specific condition of the Incarnation was still unknown, the fact that it was unharmed and continuing to devour World Fragments indicated that the Chaos Creature harbored no murderous intent, which was a good thing.

Once one adopts an open-minded perspective, nothing seems to be a problem anymore.

An hour later, Lin Xiao took Sister Xie Yufei’s tender hand and appeared in the central command hall of the Fortress.

“Thank you, Generals, for your assistance!”

He seriously saluted each General present, and in a deep voice, related his experiences in that Doomed World.

He recounted everything from his initial entry into that world to its destruction, including things he had encountered or heard about, while the Generals listened attentively.

When he reached the part about the Starworld, it was clear that everyone perked up in interest.

The matter concerning a Chaos Creature comparable to a Being of Great Divine Power captivated their attention, and they were eager to learn more.

In fact, Lin Xiao didn’t know much about the Chaos Creature himself, as he had never seen its true form. He could only share what his Incarnation had seen and learned for their reference.

After he finished speaking, the Generals and Commander Xie communicated with each other using Divine Thoughts, while Lin Xiao sat quietly, listening to their exchange.

As an executive junior General and also a leader in his own right, and given his relationship with Xie Yufei, with Commander Xie’s tacit approval, he now had the privilege of being involved in some high-level military decisions and discussions.

After their back-and-forth discussions and consultations, they concluded that this Chaos Creature was previously unseen and it was unclear what specific powers it possessed. However, one thing was certain: this Chaos Creature definitely reached the level of Great Divine Power.

The final outcome was that the War Zone established a file for this terrifying Chaos Creature, codenamed ‘World Devourer’, before they moved on to the next topic.

It was still related to Lin Xiao. After Lei Xuanji’s return, he immediately began interrogations and investigations of the remaining Descenders. The intelligence capability of a major War Zone was beyond the imagination of ordinary True Gods, and they soon found another accomplice, tracing back to an intermediary hiring organization that included many True gods.

Then, two Generals personally took action and went to this intermediary organization to find the information they needed.

The results revealed that another organization had hired the intermediary to target him. When they traced up the chain, they found an unrelated Clan to Lin Xiao.

But this didn’t stop them. A powerful Deity with a Prophetic priesthood took action and thoroughly investigated everything that had transpired in that Clan for a thousand years, uncovering the instigator behind it all. Using the same method, they traced through several intermediaries and eventually the evidence pointed directly to one of Lin Xiao’s rivals, a Leader of the Shadow Wind combat team belonging to Yan Huang’s sixth War Zone.

For a top-tier force like the Fifth War Zone, once they got serious, there was virtually nothing in the world they couldn’t uncover.

This was without Xie Tianyan even having intervened. If he joined the effort, leveraging the power of the Super War Fortress, unless it was something a Being of Great Divine Power couldn’t investigate, nothing could escape his sight, even if it had taken place in a Foreign Dimension—as long as it was within the reach of the Main World’s power.

The new topic under discussion was straightforward: how to assist him in defeating the other rivals to inherit the legacy of the Emperor of Myriad Forms.
