Chapter 632 Level 23
Abyss Hell.
After Fang Xing and Lu Zhong left, this place returned to its usual state, tranquil and eerily cold.
Only a river and the red spider lilies beside it impart a sense of peace.
The river babbles, the fragrance of the flowers spreads... as if it's existed for ages and will continue to do so eternally.
In the next moment, a gaze settles and unexpectedly reveals a God!
"This avatar did the job well..."
Fang Xing's true self gazed at the scene, eyes landing on the dilapidated bowl beside him.
"Although all things have spirits and can become gods... this fragment of divinity is too weak. Numerically speaking, my Cultivation Avatar's Natural Divinity is 1 point, while this Sacrificial God's divinity is around 0.0001?"
"It's fortunate the environment is unique..."
Where Fang Xing's gaze reached, he saw numerous strange spirits.
Some were like stubborn rocks, others like fireflies... the only constant was that unwavering obsession in their hearts.
"The people don't fear death, why should death frighten them..."
Fang Xing chuckled coldly.
With these resentments, if he were willing to expend Divine Power, he could likely produce a batch of Divine Calamities, creating trouble for All Gods.
But it would merely be trouble.
Though Divine Calamities are bothersome, they ultimately can't stand against All Gods.
No matter how strong they become, they cannot escape being slain or sealed.
In other words, the destructive power is insufficient!
"Let's first make a move..."
Fang Xing's true self slightly waved his hand, and vast Destruction Divine Power descended.
This silent Nether River, even the red spider lilies, seemed to be enveloped in a layer of fog simultaneously.
Unless a divine being personally descends here, it would be difficult to uncover.
"This is merely a hidden chess piece. However, the way to topple these entities, that's a thought I've begun to have..."
Fang Xing smiled lightly, and this Divine Avatar suddenly became ethereal.
Whoosh!
The Nether River remained unchanged, but not far away, a petal from the red spider lilies fell onto the broken bowl, where a flash of Spirit Light appeared, revealing the Buddha seal of the swastika. However, this swastika was not golden but blood-red...
...
In the depths of the Destruction Zone, within the shadowy Divine Country.
Fang Xing's true self was seated upon the Destruction Throne, seemingly in a deep meditation: "Hmm... Power of Faith can accelerate the operation of Divine Status..."
"This Divine Status can simultaneously handle the countless pleas from followers in the mortal realm and automatically provide feedback even while I sleep... though the level of artificial intelligence isn't high, its computational ability is quite remarkable..."
More importantly, with Divine Status, Divine Fire, and faith... Fang Xing felt his wisdom had amplified.
At this moment, he understood the Dao of Panwu, generating many new insights.
"Truly deserving of the Gate of All Heavens, it has not forgotten my previous instructions..."
"Unfortunately, without fully absorbing this Transcendence Inheritance, I cannot return yet..."
Fang Xing felt a bit regretful.
However, according to his calculations, when he ascends to the Ancient God, the Fourteenth Realm's Daoist level, he will surely be able to suppress this Transcendence Inheritance and perfectly conceal his own Qi.
Then, he can return to the Da Xia Universe.
"Achieving Ancient God status through my own gradual accumulation could take forever... indeed, defeating those divine beings and seizing is utterly exhilarating."
While Fang Xing pondered, suddenly he heard prayers at his ears: "My Lord... I pray for your favor, I pray for your listening, I pray for your gaze to descend..."
"Huh?"
He could not help but let out a sound of surprise.
Ordinary followers' prayers had long been solved by the Divine Status, those reaching him were of the highest priority.
At least they were the protector of Killing Life Sect or even the High Priest of a real Demon Lord...
Fang Xing focused his gaze to see a secret chamber, where the Holy Emblem of the God of Destruction was enshrined on the altar.
A tall, slender figure shrouded entirely in a black robe was praying reverently.
'Sect Hierarch of Killing Life Sect, Demigod Corpse-Dispersing Immortal... fanatical believer... eccentric in temperament, yet extremely loyal…'
On the Holy Emblem, a dark flame burned.
Fang Xing's gaze swept around, resting on the slender figure, immediately unveiling streams of information.
As his number one fighter and lackey, he was certainly represented with face.
A strand of shadowy Divine Power swept by.
The Sect Hierarch of Killing Life Sect immediately grew excited, spoke in a suppressed voice: "My Lord... I pray to you, the Heavenly Observation Bureau of Great Zhou's five supervisions have already secretly mobilized and seem to want to take action against our Killing Life Sect. May I ask, my Lord, how should we respond?"
The Heavenly Observation Bureau was Great Zhou's department specifically targeted against evil demons, each of the five supervisions possessing unique abilities, some with demigod-level battle power!
'So... they've finally been provoked?'
Fang Xing sat atop the Destruction Throne, a light smile playing in his heart.
The Killing Life Sect unifying the Outer World was clearly not what the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty wished to see; now, the other party has begun to move.
What he needed to do was to counter their every move.
'If it were the previous Asthar, he'd certainly hastily command a charge...'
'Sometimes, when the leader is too frantic, it becomes challenging for the underlings as well.'
Fang Xing contemplated: 'Now, with the Outer World as the foundation, the strategic position of Killing Life Sect is excellent... there's no need to rush for quick success.'
The Sect Hierarch of Killing Life Sect was praying, and suddenly layers of voices echoed in his ears.
In the haze, he seemed to see the Destruction Divine Country and the ruler on the throne.
"Teach them a lesson, then retreat."
A grand and vast voice resounded.
"Yes, only faith in my lord."
The Sect Hierarch of Killing Life Sect hurriedly saluted, feeling relieved in his heart.
If his God commanded him to resist, he would use the remainder of his life to present an ultimate destruction ceremony for his God.
But now, since the God's order leaves room, it must be for him to destroy more in the future!
If so, indeed, he should preserve his useful life first.
...
A hill.
After parting ways with Lu Zhong, Fang Xing left directly, sitting cross-legged on a green stone in the mountain.
He had no idea that his Sect Hierarch of Killing Life Sect had such an enterprise-level understanding of divine commands.
Current attention was attracted by the Heavenly Observation Bureau.
"The Heavenly Observation Bureau is a privileged institution of Great Zhou, specifically targeting ancient Daoism and followers of Evil Gods... Among the five great bureaus, both the Life Fate Bureau and the Scripture Supervision have demigod combat power... the others, Scent Supervision, Sima Supervision, although slightly weaker, have their unique skills... if they act with full force now, the Sect Hierarch of Killing Life might not be able to handle it."
"In the end, will I still have to take action?"
"However, if the Sect Hierarch of Killing Life is smart enough, he wouldn't face them together but rather defeat them one by one..."
"The Sect Hierarch of Killing Life can deal with the Heavenly Observation Bureau, and I can handle the Life Fate Bureau... If adding the subordinates of the True Demon Lord, it might even be possible for the five great bureaus to collectively fall..."
Fang Xing was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a slight tremor within his body.
A large volume of green electrical light surged into his body, and new prompts appeared on the attribute bar:
[You have received a Natural Baptism!]
[Your Druid profession level has increased to level 23! Gained a new talent—Immunity to Time Stop!]
In a trance, Fang Xing seemed to see the scene of the Outer World.
He saw new bamboos spiking, and Spirit Plants budding... During this time, it seemed as if some believers of Killing Life Sect were engaged in protection.
Having a group of destruction believers doing environmental protection might seem somewhat strange...
"Is it related to another batch of spirit trees growing in the Outer World?"
Fang Xing couldn't help but marvel at his own rapid progress.
But that was also very understandable.
Originally, he was just planting trees at Qingmu Ridge, and now he could plant trees across the entire Outer World, expanding the territory tenfold or more?
Fang Xing looked at the introduction of his new talent on the attribute bar:
[Immunity to Time Stop: You will not be affected by supernatural ability time stop.]
The description was quite brief, but it still made Fang Xing's eyes light up: "Time Stop? It is indeed this..."
Due to different worlds, the expression of Rule Power differs.
Fang Xing's initial time stop was to almost completely speed up himself.
However, the Time Stop series of spells here genuinely pause the time in a region.
'The mage battles in this world seem to heavily rely on this...'
'But now, most spellcasters seeing me will have headaches...'
Fang Xing suddenly thought of the Heavenly Observation Bureau.
The 'Time Stop' spell seems to be the most renowned ability of the powerful spellcaster in the Life Fate Bureau.
Dealing with just one Life Fate Bureau doesn't need such targeted tactics.
'No... The various immunity abilities gained after reaching Legendary only make me more adaptable in crisis situations... even facing the decapitation squad of top experts from Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, I can retreat unscathed...'
'No, at my current state, is this something I still need to fear?'
'If forced, I'll expose my identity and allow my original self to descend... After all, I am an authentic avatar, way better than any elect or vessel...'
A slight smile appeared on Fang Xing's lips.
As for Lu Zhong?
He didn't bother; this chess piece was indeed just an accident.
Even Fang Xing didn't expect that after the collapse of his faith, this Temple warrior would still successfully change profession.
Moreover, his new profession completely opposes the All Gods, reaching an extreme level of coincidence.
'Next... this person will certainly leave behind the inheritance and take the path against All Gods.'
Fang Xing has no confidence in Lu Zhong's future, as even the Divine Calamity couldn't destroy the All Gods.
Exchange it for a special profession only slightly targeting faith?
Lu Zhong might as well change his last name to 'Song'.
'Hope this person isn't foolish, at least leave the inheritance before the top experts of the church find him...'
After the first 'Avenger', the employment for future aspirants would not be as harsh.
Even without Fang Xing's 'God's Eye Can't Reach' talent, the fallen holy power of predecessors would assist, the survival chance is still considerable.
To become an 'Avenger', the prerequisites are stringent.
It's best to transform directly from the Redemption Church's Temple warriors, as it fits the profession perfectly.
'I suppose the Redemption God will be busy for some time.'
Fang Xing thought of this and couldn't help but show a gloating smile on his lips...
