MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

"The Demon Ancestor Frolo is an Earth Realm Celestial God, do you know that?"

"Earth Realm? Him?" Clearly, Song Quan was unaware and immediately said, "If he really is an Earth Realm Celestial God, then even the current Lionheart God couldn't beat him!"

"That's why I want to ask how his performance was during the previous war with the beast clans."

"Somewhat lackluster." Song Quan pondered for a moment and then said, "But we can't really blame him, after all, Frolo was just helping us out. The terrain of the Death Zone is rugged, and the environment harsh; the beast clans wouldn't want that land, which means the Demon Race could choose to just stand by and watch. So, how much effort Frolo put in isn't on us."

"But I also wonder, with Frolo already surpassing almost all the Heavenly Gods in the Star Sea, he has the power to dominate, why would he choose to hide his strength?"

"I think you're being too nosy, what he wants to do is up to him. What, you think Frolo has ulterior motives?"

Chastised by Song Quan, Lu Hong paused, then nodded, "I do have those concerns, but as you said, what he wants to do is his freedom. In any case, just keep an eye out for Frolo's Earth Realm business."

"No problem." Song Quan nodded and agreed.

"Ah, right," having finished that topic, Lu Hong brought up another, "What realm was I in at the end of the Era of the Gods?"

"You?" Song Quan let out a chuckle, "You had just reached the early stage of the Heavenly Realm."

"And you?"

"Obviously, the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm."

Under Lu Hong's doubtful gaze, Song Quan's face reddened slightly, "Well, the same as you, the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, you believe that, right?"

"No, I don't."

"Alright, alright, I was an Earth Realm god, the pinnacle of the Earth Realm."

This time, Lu Hong barely believed Song Quan, "Then, can you recall what it felt like to be in the Earth Realm?"

"Still want to understand the realm?" Song Quan seemed frustrated, "What's the use of that? Once you hit the bottleneck of a realm, it's certain death, no one can save you, don't you get that?"

"I understand that, but I'm not from this world," Lu Hong said, "If I have the chance to return to the Era of the Gods one day, wouldn't I be able to lead the Human Race to prosperity?"

"If you put it that way, then yes." Song Quan no longer held back and reminisced, "Actually, a realm is all about cultivating the power of the Divine Soul. You'll find that even though we've become gods and our souls have grown much stronger, how many can harness the power of their souls as an offensive Skill? In fact, the Divine Soul has a much greater potential for advancement than the Heavenly God's body, which is influenced by race and innate bloodlines, and has its limits. But the Divine Soul is different, even though everyone's Divine Soul varies in strength after ascending to godhood, these differences can be chased down later. Also, once your Divine Soul is powerful, you'll understand mighty offensive moves. Like me, for instance, after ascending to the Earth Realm, I mastered the 'Transcendence Light.'"

"How powerful is it?"

Song Quan glanced at Lu Hong, "Heh, I'll just tell you this, one-on-one I'm not afraid of anyone, including you in the Heavenly Realm."

"Then what's so great about this 'Transcendence Light'? Go on, tell me." Lu Hong did not argue with Song Quan's boast and continued to inquire.

"You've seen it." With a grand gesture, Song Quan summoned the realm-negating aura of the God Realm in his palm that once washed over Liesuotus.

Of course, Lu Hong remembered that bizarre strike, "That was 'Transcendence Light'?"

"Yes, anyone washed over by this light will be striped of their realm for a time depending on their strength."

Lu Hong nodded, "That truly is invincible. But I don't understand why you didn't follow up with a winning strike to take Liesuotus's life after you stripped him of his realm."

Faced with this question, Song Quan's face turned red again, "Well, as long as you're within the range covered by Holy Light, all Skills would be ineffective."

Got it, Lu Hong understood, this so-called light was utterly useless. Although the opponent would lose all abilities, they would also be in an absolutely invincible environment unless you also jumped in and fought as mere mortals. Without their realms, Demons were physically much stronger than humans, no wonder Song Quan didn't dare act after stripping Liesuotus of his realm.

"Why is your Skill inside this divine mirror?"

"I cut off my own realm back then but couldn't part with this powerful skill, so I found a way to seal it in this ancient bronze mirror. Although using it consumes a lot of my energy, as a counter skill, it's extremely effective, it can save your life in critical moments."

Lu Hong nodded, showing his agreement.

After some idle chat, the two stepped out of the bathhouse and returned to the main city of the Star Alliance.

Song Quan got up and left, while Lu Hong plunged headfirst into studying the soul-splitting skill.

Soon, half a year passed, and the Warrior Temple outside the main city was now surrounded by crowds of people who had come to witness the ceremony.

Lu Hong walked on air, descending upon the temple. With the deployment of pure white Divine Power, he exuded a sense of solemnity and reverence, yet also a feeling of security.

"War God!"

"War God!"

"War God!"

Amidst the crowd's unanimous chanting, Lu Hong successfully split off a strand of his Divine Soul, which entered into the temple.

Then the great doors of the temple slowly opened, and Lu Hong's deep voice thundered through the skies, "All who are of my alliance, all who believe in me, all who are loyal and good, may enter my temple and receive my legacy!"

At these words, the faces of the Celestial Gods changed subtly. It wasn't just humans who could accept the inheritance?!

Thunder Flash God's expression darkened as he muttered, "Does he realize what he's doing? Not differentiating by race to grant his legacy, isn't this absurd?!"

"Yes, I say this War God is clearly not wholeheartedly with our Human Race!" The Gold Celestial God also felt extremely indignant. They had gone to great lengths to construct the Holy Temple and disseminate the legacy to strengthen the Human Race. Yet the War God was now opening it up to the entire alliance—wasn't this also assisting other races to grow stronger?

From a distance, Song Quan caught sight of the disgruntlement brewing among the Human Celestial Gods and stepped forward, "Alright, alright, now that the alliance is one family, let's not be so detailed. We need to have a broader perspective, understand?"

As the foremost among the Human Race, when Song Quan spoke, the other Human Celestial Gods had no choice but to swallow their complaints.

As for the Celestial Gods of other races, they now looked at Lu Hong with much friendlier eyes. Although Lu Hong had displeased his own people, he had won the praise of others.

With the completion of the tedious ceremonial rituals, countless members of the alliance started entering the Warrior Temple. The split-off Divine Soul of Lu Hong began to select suitable individuals for the warrior profession, spreading the way of the warrior.

Wrathful Sun gazed from afar at the constructed Warrior Temple, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions. He had once longed to disseminate the warrior's legacy, and now, at last, he was witnessing it.

Anna stood amidst the crowd, staring at the towering figure of Lu Hong above the temple, her expression somewhat dazed. He had become a god, immortal and eternal, while I... Despite also being a Third Transition Mage, limited aptitude meant she was likely to reach only the latter stages in this lifetime, with no hope of further advancement, let alone ascendance to godhood.

And now her beloved appeared before the world in another guise, and the feeling of love without the ability to be together was heart-wrenchingly painful.

As the alliance was grandly celebrating, deep in the bowels of hell, the overturned Demon King's realm was righted under an invisible green demon claw.

Nether Fiend followed the Demon King into the realm, scanning the ruined battlefield briefly. The Demon King inquired of Nether Fiend, "Is there a way to resurrect him?"

"Let's try; after all, he was devoured by the Netherworld God's Domain of Oblivion. Perhaps his Divine Soul has already been eroded away."

"If the Divine Soul is obliterated, then it's his own bad luck," the Demon King huffed coldly, then ordered, "Get to it."

And so, with the combined efforts of Nether Fiend and the Demon King, shreds of the soul torn asunder by the Netherworld God slowly emerged, bit by bit, being pieced back together.

After three months of relentless mending, Archimonde's Divine Soul was finally restored to its original state.

Just like the revived Liesuotus, Archimonde awoke with a face full of confusion, "What is this... Akanon, did you save me?"

But upon seeing the Nether Fiend standing beside the Demon King, Archimonde's expression instantly turned dark, "Are you scheming against me?"

"Archimonde, open your eyes wide and see who I am?!"

The voice of the Demon King was deafening, and at that moment, Archimonde's gaze pierced through the ethereal body and saw the terrifying soul from ancient times.

Instantly, Archimonde collapsed to the ground.

"Demon... Demon King Your Majesty?!"
