The Era of Gods

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Re-entering the Myriad Images God Temple

Although it’s unlikely they would harm him in plain sight, we must not underestimate our enemies’ lack of scruples. Shadow Wind’s actions showed how low they would stoop for such enormous gain.

Besides, it’s not just the three of them and their backers involved this time; many major forces from the Main World will send representatives to observe, including powers from camps outside the HuaXia District.

Speaking of which, all three heirs to the Emperor of Myriad Forms come from the HuaXia District, which is quite frustrating for the other factions. A great number of forces from the HuaXia District are sending observers this time, perhaps with the intention of preventing outsiders from interfering.

After all, it’s the inheritance of a being who was on the verge of ascending to great divine power; no one can truly claim to be indifferent.

With the status and strength of the Emperor of Myriad Forms, the inheritance left to his successors likely contains treasures that could benefit even those with powerful Divine Power.

Upon returning to the Myriad Images God Temple, as Lin Xiao emerged from the battleship, he saw another lavish battleship and a super floating vessel surrounded by two other fleets at a short distance—the flagships of Phoenix and Shadow Wind, who had already arrived early and entered.

Lei Xuanji took him to the entrance of the Myriad Images God Temple and whispered advice:

“Although Shadow Wind has sworn not to lay a hand on you until he has defeated Phoenix, an oath is not entirely reliable. If one is willing to pay a sufficient price, the promise can be circumvented, so you must be extremely cautious.”

“I will,” Lin Xiao responded.

“Additionally, no one knows what form the contest for the inheritance will take. If there is time, immediately transmit the details to us, and both your Alma Mater and we will support you.”

“I will,” he repeated.

Such a significant event was naturally known to the Brilliant Super College. As a student of Radiance, he was sure to receive full support from his Alma Mater, although not as ostentatiously as the Fifth War Zone had shown.

Lei Xuanji, feeling somewhat sentimental, patted his shoulder and gave a final word of caution:

“The inheritance of the Emperor of Myriad Forms can elevate you to the realm of powerful Divine Power, and it’s not impossible that you could become a top figure in the Main World, on par with Commander Xie. For your own sake, and for those waiting for you outside, give it your all!”

Lin Xiao nodded, clutching the three jade pendants in his hand, which had been sent by his sisters-in-law on behalf of Xie Yufei, Jin Sisi, and Shen Yuexin.

Shen Yuexin was now in the final stages of Divine Enthronement. According to her father-in-law, it wasn’t just about her becoming a divine being; he had prepared a huge amount of resources and various Divinities related to her assumed Godhood for her retreat and comprehension. When she emerged, she would be able to ascend directly to medium Divine Power.

According to her father-in-law, only ascending to medium Divine Power could ensure a certain level of self-protection.

That is the treatment of a super-wealthy family. As the legitimate daughter of a great divine power, the resources she had access to were beyond anyone’s imagination.

In fact, if she had been willing to stay in seclusion, the resources her father-in-law had prepared for her would have been enough for her to advance directly to powerful Divine Power without emerging until then.

After all, her father-in-law had prepared territories for her that included a giant Primary Material Plane, five extra-large Planes, twenty-seven large Planes, and thousands of smaller affiliated Planes within a Giant Plane Group. Considering the energy level of the Radiance Crystal Wall Universe, if these territories could all be developed, they would be enough to support a super Divine Power faith system—a Super Territory.

If she had enough fortune, even for an ascension to great Divine Power, this territory would be sufficient, especially as it includes a Primary Material Plane.

Compared to her treatment, Yufei’s conditions don’t seem to be as favorable.

At first, he also thought that Commander Xie didn’t have as many resources at her disposal.

Later, he learned that wasn’t the case. Commander Xie did prepare so many resources for her, but the strong-willed Yufei refused to be a “parasite” and wanted to rely on herself. Commander Xie not only let her, but also greatly approved of her decision.

After all, backed by the Fifth War Zone, protecting her and ensuring her step-by-step growth was not an issue.

Comparatively, Jin Sisi was the unluckiest. She also came from a wealthy family, but later her father went missing in some world in the Void, and her family continuously weakened under the pressure of external enemies until now.

Lin Xiao now knew the reasons and location of her father’s disappearance. But to be honest, he felt it was unlikely that the support of the Main World’s Clan for his status as a favored contender would be enough to rescue her father.

It wasn’t that the desire wasn’t effective; it was that the world her father had disappeared into… was just too troublesome.

He had heard of this world, the infamous Wizard World within the Chaotic Void Sea.

It’s an extremely powerful world, far more potent than the well-known Toriel Multiverse. Even the home worlds of many divine realm civilizations pale in comparison. Its many primordial ancestors are renowned, but what’s even more notorious is the world’s severe suppressive power and the high rate of those who become lost. Any Descender who ventures there might end up lost in that world.

Jin Sisi’s father sought to become a primordial ancestor and ascend to great divine power in that world, but he never anticipated that even he, a super Divine Power at God Level 19, would get lost there—and not just lose his way but be utterly unable to leave with his True Body.

In such circumstances, it’s unlikely that help from the Main World would free him. The will of the Wizard World is much grander than that of the Main World, and coupled with the numerous primordial ancestors on par with great divine power, it’s difficult even for great divine power beings to intervene. From any perspective, it’s insufficient for a rescue.

To escape, either a great divine power must take the risk—which is unlikely since entering that world would make one vulnerable to exposure, and a new primordial ancestor suddenly appearing would be too obvious—or he must come to his senses on his own, which is even less likely. Countless Sons of God Realms have entered the Wizard World, including many with powerful Divine Power, but very few have awakened on their own. Those who did were due to special circumstances and sudden clarity; almost none have awakened on their own strength.

But…

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin in thought, wondering if his own Creation Rubik’s Cube could keep him lucid?

The chances were slim; given the strength and dominance of the wizard world, every Son of Divine Realm who descended was directly dragged into their True Body without any communication between their incarnate and True Body. He couldn’t guarantee he would regain consciousness.

However, it was worth a try. After all, the wizard world was too powerful, capable of accommodating a complex ten-digit number of great divine powers. Many with powerful divine powers, in their desperation, would risk entering the wizard world in search of opportunities.

Although the likelihood of achieving the status of a primogenitor was equally slim, it was still much stronger compared to the almost non-existent chance on the outside.

Lin Xiao silently made a decision in his heart. As soon as he came out of the Myriad Images God Temple, he would take down the CY-00801 number Crystal Wall Universe, then he would start to help Jin Sisi rescue her father.

It was not just about rescuing someone; he was also interested in the wizard world itself. This world was a very valuable one, worth the risk he would take.

In the journey of growth, how could there be no risk-taking?

Around the Myriad Images God Temple were docked Void Battleships and battleships from various forces, luxurious vehicles of all shapes and sizes, each more opulent than the last.

When Lin Xiao approached the entrance of the Myriad Images God Temple, he immediately attracted the gaze of many True Gods—envy, jealousy, malice, and more. Their gazes were almost tangible enough to pierce through him.

He could not hear their discussions, but Lin Xiao knew very well that at this moment, he had entered the sight of many top powers in the Main World. It wouldn’t be long before his information would be laid out on the tables of these forces.

Unlike the previous attention garnered from being known as a prodigy, this time he entered this echelon based on his identity and status. Whether it’s his elite junior general rank from the Fifth War Zone, the leader of the Titan Battle Group, or being the boyfriend of the Mistress of Radiance, none of these were secrets anymore.

It’s a pity that it was not by strength. Lin Xiao hoped that the next time he became famous, he would enter their sights through his own strength.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the grand entrance of the Myriad Images God Temple, disappearing amidst the buzz of many discussions.

Today, the Myriad Images God Temple was limited to just the three of them entering, with no other beings permitted inside.

Familiar with the path, he walked into the interior of the temple. From a distance, he saw the enormous doors of the temple, wide open like the Heavenly Gate, and the towering flames of Chaos Fireball within, as well as six towering figures standing tall, penetrating heaven and earth. Naturally, he saw two tiny figures on the temple floor that was vast like a continent.

Shadow Wind and Phoenix turned their heads almost simultaneously. Phoenix watched him walk in with interest, while Shadow Wind snorted coldly and turned away.

Giving a polite wave to both, he walked straight to stand level with them.

Phoenix glanced at him and Shadow Wind, then with a slight upturning of her lips, she teased,

“I heard there was a bit of a conflict between you two earlier, is that true?”

Lin Xiao smiled slightly,

“What do you think?” @@novelbin@@

Shadow Wind didn’t move at all.

It appeared emotions were overflowing, but regardless of himself or Phoenix, neither took it to heart. Everyone was shrewd, how could they so easily display their true emotions for all to see? Shadow Wind’s obvious disdain for Lin Xiao was actually…

Alright, there was indeed real anger. No one would be pleased to be threatened.

However, this would not affect Shadow Wind’s decision-making. Anger is anger, but it would not lead to a wrong decision.

Once the three of them were gathered, the six Tomb Guardians did not show any movement, but Lin Xiao could sense the subtle changes within the vast Myriad Images God Temple after everyone had arrived. He looked up towards the central Chaos Fireball amidst the six Tomb Guardians. The change seemed to originate there, extremely minute, barely perceptible even with a slightly weaker sense of divine thoughts.

After a dozen seconds or so, he sensed the imperceptible changes in Shadow Wind and Phoenix beside him; they must have also noticed something amiss.

To avoid drawing their attention, Lin Xiao also pretended to discover the discrepancy after a dozen seconds.

Neither Divine Wind nor Phoenix noticed this detail. Even though their God Levels surpassed that of Lin Xiao, at that very moment, they might not necessarily have been able to defeat him in terms of real combat strength.

As the Crystal Wall System’s Core was upgraded again, his true strength naturally underwent another qualitative change, and his real power could no longer be measured solely by God Level.

When the minute changes in the Chaos Fireball inside the temple accumulated to a certain extent, generating a tangible anomaly, streaks of light flew out from the now even brighter Chaos Fireball, rapidly sketching out a majestic towering figure.

This figure’s face was indiscernible, but given the attire and the power emanating from it, which was of the same origin as the Chaos Fireball, it was most likely a Will projection left by the Emperor of Myriad Forms.
