Chapter 670: Underworld

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Underworld

In a Divine Temple within the Brentania Republic stood a five-meter-tall chimpanzee clad in black armor. This chimpanzee was Xing He, the Archbishop of the God of Fury.

A gloomy look flashed through Xing He’s eyes. "The God of Poison has fallen!! He was a great being on the same level as my Lord. To think he fell so easily in the Qianyuan Republic! The Blue Star Human Clan truly has some terrifyingly powerful individuals."

Xing He sighed softly. "It was too reckless to barge into this world! But we had no choice. Weakness is a sin!!"

「Cathedral of Light, Jiasen Republic.」

Gabriel’s brow furrowed slightly as he murmured to himself, a strange light glinting in his eyes. "The God of Poison actually fell at the hands of the Light Flame God! How could the Light Flame God have become so powerful?"

The God of Light commands the Power of Light, while the Light Flame God commands the dual Authorities of Light and Flame. The Authorities commanded by the Two Great Divine Spirits overlap.

If the God of Light were to slay other Divine Spirits, he could at best refine their corpses into Divine Artifacts or powerful Secret Treasures. However, if he were to slay the Light Flame God, he could refine and absorb the portion of the Light Flame God’s Authority related to light, thus becoming even stronger. The reverse was also true.

It was for this very reason that although the God of Light and the Light Flame God were both Guardian Gods of humanity, they were mortal enemies. Given the chance, neither the God of Light nor the Light Flame God would hesitate to eliminate the other.

Gabriel muttered to himself, "Without sufficient intelligence, there’s no way to make a move. That foolish God of Poison, to actually die at the hands of the Light Flame God... What a waste of the intelligence I gave him."

The fact that She Wufeng and his forces were able to accurately locate the Holy Palace and obtain various intelligence on the Qianyuan Republic was all thanks to Gabriel, who had provided it to them for the sole purpose of testing the Light Flame God’s strength.

Whether the Light Flame God and the God of Poison mutually wounded each other, or the Light Flame God was killed by the God of Poison, it would have been a good outcome for the God of Light.

「Inside the Base Space.」

Shu Feng walked up to the Central Analyzer. "How many resources will it take to synthesize the God of Poison?"

The Central Analyzer shimmered with light and began its rapid calculations.

"Synthesis requires: 50 units of High-level Source Energy, the Divine Soul of the God of Poison, a Divine Format, and one additional Divine Soul. Please note: Once synthesized, the God of Poison will consume 100 units of Divine Power daily. Without sufficient Divine Power to support it, its Divine Format will degrade, and it will be reduced to a Demigod."

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed for a moment before relaxing. ’The Divine Power consumption! Ascension to Divinity through faith is truly troublesome. Still, it’s a good thing I have enough Divine Power for now!’

Divine Spirits who achieve Ascension to Divinity through faith possess immense longevity, but their very existence consumes Divine Power each day. The more powerful the Divine Spirit, the greater the daily consumption of Divine Power.

For Divine Spirits who ascend through faith, Divine Power is their lifeblood. Therefore, every Divine Spirit spreads their faith to gain countless believers and harvest Divine Power.

’Thankfully, the Power of Faith in the Qianyuan Republic is currently split between the Light Flame God and Ji Yuanshi. Moreover, the Qianyuan Republic’s population of several billion is enough to sustain over one hundred Divine Spirits of Weak Divine Power.’

A Divine Spirit at the Weak Divine Power Level generally only needs one hundred thousand human believers to sustain its existence. Of course, in the case of Fanatics, about one thousand human Fanatics would be enough to sustain a Divine Spirit of the Weak Divine Power Level.

If the believers were powerful beings whose strength far surpassed that of humans, perhaps one hundred Fanatics, or even fewer, could sustain a Divine Spirit of the Weak Divine Power Level.

Shu Feng asked curiously, "Can I use the Divine Formats I’ve collected to elevate the God of Poison to the Weak God Power Level?"

"Negative. Those Divine Formats conflict with the God of Poison’s divine body and Divine Soul. The only Divine Format the God of Poison can absorb is a portion of the power from the Dragon Demon King’s Divine Format. It would require 500 units of High-level Source Energy to allow the God of Poison to fuse with the power of the Dragon Demon King’s Divine Format and evolve to the third tier of Weak Divine Power."

Shu Feng shook his head slightly. ’500 units of High-level Source Energy... I don’t even have that much. I’ll pass for now.’

"Go ahead and synthesize the God of Poison!"

The corpse of the God of Poison was thrown directly into the Warrior Synthesis Nest by Demon King Gall. Countless streams of mucus surged out, enveloping it to form a large cocoon.

Streams of High-level Source Energy poured in from numerous pipes.

Nourished by the High-level Source Energy, the tattered corpse of the God of Poison rapidly regenerated.

Two Divine Souls surged into the God of Poison’s corpse and, nourished by the High-level Source Energy, began to fuse together.

Wisps of life force began to emanate from within the God of Poison.

A Divine Format flowed through a pipe and into the God of Poison’s body. A trace of Divine Might immediately began to radiate from it.

KRAK!!

The large cocoon cracked open, and the God of Poison broke free. It slithered before Shu Feng, transformed into an ugly, snake-headed, humanoid Alien Species, and knelt on one knee respectfully. "My Lord, I, the God of Poison, She Du, am at your service."

Shu Feng glanced at the God of Poison kneeling before him, a hint of satisfaction on his face. "Tell me everything you know about the Underworld."

"Yes, my Lord!"

The God of Poison immediately began to tell Shu Feng what he knew about the Underworld.

In the Underworld of Blue Star, there were many races who worshipped many Divine Spirits.

Among them, the most powerful were the three great Divine Spirits: the War Dragon God, the Sun Dragon God, and the Slaughter Dragon God.

While the rulers of the Blue Star’s surface are humans, the dominant power in the Blue Star’s Underworld are the Dragon-men—beings who evolved from the Dinosaurs of Blue Star’s Ancient Era.

In the Underworld of Blue Star, the Dragon-men hold a dominant position, with the other races being vassals to the Dragon-man Race.

Within the Blue Star Underground World, there are three major powers: the War Royal Court, the Sun Royal Court, and the Slaughter Royal Court, each led by a different powerful individual from the Dragon-man Race.

In the Underworld, these three Royal Courts have never ceased their overt and covert struggles. They have even erupted into divine wars several times, each conflict resulting in the fall of many Divine Spirits.

Only in the last hundred years have the three Royal Courts, under the oracles of the three great Divine Spirits, exercised restraint and avoided large-scale divine wars.

Not long ago, the God of Poison received a command from the War Dragon God. He found a passage to the Surface Realm, and then, under the War Dragon God’s orders, entered the Blue Star Surface World and launched an attack on the Qianyuan Republic.

Those Snake-men were cannon fodder for the War Royal Court, meant to trade their lives for the various pieces of intelligence the Royal Court desired.
