In the endless void, countless stars twinkled. Those distant stars seemed to be enormous, burning fireballs.

Yan Jin stood in this place where there was neither sky nor earth, looking at the countless stars, her heart filled with shock, deeply feeling how insignificant she was.

An inexplicable call entered her heart. She seemed to see the fire of the universe exploding and the beginning of heaven and earth, the flames of destruction produced by a supernova, and the magma ocean rolling on the surface of a planet as it formed.

Yan Jin took a deep breath to calm herself. She heard a voice calling her in the void.

As if worried she wouldn't come, days turned into stars, and in the blink of an eye, she was standing in front of the gate of a magnificent palace.

...It was hard to tell whether Yan Jin had moved to the front of the palace, or whether the palace had moved in front of Yan Jin.

The palace was supported by four thick pillars, with no walls on any side and an arched dome above. The pillars were hundreds of meters high, and the distance between each was two to three hundred meters. Flame patterns were carved on the pillars, making them appear ancient and mysterious.

Directly in front of the palace was a long, platinum-colored staircase that extended all the way to Yan Jin's feet.

Looking at the steps in front of her, Yan Jin raised an eyebrow and walked up.

Then, the steps moved, like an elevator, automatically moving upwards, slowly taking Yan Jin into the palace.

The ground also moved, taking her to the center of the palace.

In the center, there was a flame-shaped statue. As Yan Jin arrived, the surface of the statue glowed red, spreading from a small point outwards. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a real flame.

The flames quickly spread around, expanding from the center outwards, and then igniting the dome along the pillars.

The flames were not hot, or rather, not hot for Yan Jin… A warmth spread over her, making her feel as comfortable as taking a nap in the sun on a cold winter day.

One star after another fell, and the entire void was engulfed in a sea of fire. The palace also collapsed in the sea of fire, and as far as the eye could see, there was only fire.

Former powerful enemies appeared one after another before her eyes.

Slime, Fire slime, Flame Lizard, Flame King Dragon, Fire Toad, Magma Jellyfish, Scarlet King, Red Lotus, Di Tian, ​​Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu...

"An illusion? Who cares… You're not convinced? Come and fight!"

Yan Jin had no fear at all. Magma emerged from her hand, and she unleashed a "Great Fireball" forward.

These enemies moved, using one skill after another to counterattack, just as Yan Jin remembered.

Illusory yet real images shattered one after another. Yan Jin felt that her control over the flames was becoming more and more proficient. She seemed to have become the master of the flames. The birth, death, and flow of all flames were all within her thoughts.

When all the illusions shattered, a figure wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye appeared before her.

"Amon?" Yan Jin revealed a look of doubt.

Amon clapped his hands, praising, "Not bad, you really have stepped into the God Realm as I expected… So, hand over the Godhood to me. I should have said, I need everything from you."

He wore a wicked smile on his face, and the way he looked at Yan Jin was as if he were looking at a delicious meal.

Yan Jin walked up to him without saying a word, and then… slammed a fist hard into his face.

Amon seemed stunned by the attack, falling heavily backwards.

Yan Jin threw another left hook, smashing into his left face, shattering the monocle and leaving a bloody mark on his face.

She kicked forward, sending Amon flying.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands, put her hands on her hips, and said triumphantly:

"Hehe, I've wanted to do that for a long time, even if it's just an imposter…"

She walked forward, her expression turning cold:

"I know… Amon even gave me Di Tian's soul ring and Skydream Ice Silkworm's million-year soul bone, treasures unheard of by ordinary soul masters. What he seeks is a higher level of things, and only the Godhood is suitable.

"All gifts have long been marked with a price in secret, and I am willing to pay these prices.

"You, a false illusion, want to sow discord here?"

Saying that, she stomped on Amon's head, crushing it.

…

Amon walked into the void, locked onto the Fire God's Temple in front of him, and stepped forward. Distance seemed to disappear, and in an instant, he arrived at the center of the hall.

Stars did not fall, the void did not turn into a sea of ​​fire, and the palace did not burn.

Only Yan Jin was surrounded by flames, standing motionless in the center of the hall with her eyes closed.

Her hair became even more crimson, as if firelight was flowing, and she exuded a faint divinity. The flames surrounding her were like subjects guarding their king.

Amon raised his right hand, pinched the top and bottom edges of his monocle with his index finger and thumb respectively, hesitated slightly, and then stretched out his right hand to Yan Jin, making a grabbing motion...

...Nothing was stolen.

Yan Jin opened her eyes, looked at Amon with a grin, and looked like she was asking for credit:

"Amon, you're here… I originally wanted to give it to you when you needed it, but it ran over by itself, so I could only give it to you in advance."

Amon glanced at the red rhomboid crystal quietly floating in front of him, wrapped in flames, and remained expressionless.

The reason why he didn't steal anything was because Yan Jin took the initiative to throw the Godhood over before he could steal it!

Without a trace of hesitation, without a bit of hesitation, without the slightest reluctance!

He couldn't steal something that the stealing object didn't have!

"I'm not stupid. Your goal is the Godhood, right? I already guessed it… As a reward for the price you have to pay for the gifts you gave me… Only something of this level is suitable!"

Amon did want to steal Yan Jin's Godhood, but the main purpose of his stealing the Godhood was not for the Godhood itself, but for the act of "stealing the Godhood"!

If you want to become a god through faith, you need to meet two conditions: first, you must perform a great feat that is enough to trigger the rules of heaven and earth, and second, you must have faith that points to the authority related to this feat.

For example, the Sea God spent a thousand years conquering the sea and collecting the faith of countless marine creatures before he condensed the Sea God's Godhood.

Amon had already started planning for his own ascension to god a long time ago...

From the time he was still "Duke Amon", he had already used the special nature of the "Worm of Time" martial soul to collect faith in advance.

In the territory, he promulgated laws that reduced the punishment for theft and increased the difficulty of determining theft, and used avatars to spread the nickname "Duke Thief" to Connection himself with "theft".

Afterwards, the Heaven Dou Empire wanted him for "theft", further deepening the image of him as a Marauder in people's minds.

It is rumored among soul masters that he "stole" the treasures of the Star Dou Great Forest. This was also deliberately spread by Amon in order to strengthen the connection between "theft" and himself.

Later, he replaced Dai Chenghua and "stole" the Star Luo Empire...

These are all "achievements" related to "stealing".

Other people's knowledge of this also provided him with faith related to "stealing".

But this is not enough. Not only is the "achievement" not "great" enough to trigger the rules of the world, but the faith is also too thin to condense the Godhood.

Amon has already solved the problem of too little faith. In addition to faith related to "stealing", he also has faith as the Tudor Emperor, such as "Blood Emperor", "Conqueror", "Tyrant", "Destroyer of the Country"... etc.

Originally, this kind of faith that was not related to "thieves" could not be used to condense the Godhood of "God of Thieves", but Amon had a clever way.

He can temporarily trick the rules into mistaking these faiths that are not related to "stealing" as "faiths of thieves" to replace the missing parts.

In addition, because his connection with Yan Jin and Lei Yin is close enough, he can also borrow this connection to steal the faith of "Fire God", "God of War", "Thunder God", and "Military God" that point to them, and use the "trickery" method to make up for the lack of faith.

And if you want to do a "stealing" act that is enough to trigger the world's rules, what is more suitable than replacing the original owner at the final stage of someone else's God ascension ceremony, at the moment of becoming a god, and stealing his Godhood?

Therefore, what Amon wants to do is to become a god through faith, condense the "God of Thieves' Godhood", and then use the authority of the "God of Thieves" to directly accommodate the stolen "Godhood" and permanently occupy the stolen Godhood!

And then become a god with two Godhoods!

But Yan Jin, this great genius, gave up at the last moment of her ascension to god, and borrowed part of her control over the Godhood to directly send the Fire God's Godhood to him, causing Amon to have nothing to steal!

Unable to perform the act of "stealing the Godhood", Amon cannot use this to trigger the rules of the world and become the "God of Thieves".

The Fire God's Godhood does not recognize Amon. Even if he can temporarily deceive the Fire God's Godhood through "trickery", accommodate and become the Fire God, his "trickery" is still somewhat lacking and cannot be permanently deceived. Sooner or later, he will be backlashed due to insufficient compatibility.

In fact, Amon has already made a "feat" that is enough to trigger the rules of the world. His coming through can itself condense the Godhood of "Door", but there is no related faith.

He can also use "trickery" to forge the "Door" Godhood using those messy faiths, but this will also only be temporarily successful because the "trickery" level is not enough, and over time, it will be backlashed by "wrong faith".

The only ones who can use miscellaneous faiths to become gods and not be backlashed afterwards are the "God of Thieves" and the "God of Errors"!

Only this Godhood can use its own authority to ignore the problem of backlash after becoming a god.

Amon looked at Yan Jin, who looked like she was saying, "I'm very smart, I helped you get something good, praise me quickly", and remained silent for a long time.

He raised his right hand and tapped the bottom edge of his monocle with his index finger knuckle and clicked his tongue:

"I still underestimated people's hearts."
