The Era of Gods - Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: The Appearance of the Son of the Divine Realm, Plundering the Divine Realm

Returning to Holly Town, I reported the changes in Horn Village to the town mayor and the Adventurer Association, then collected my bounty. After preparing in town, I set out. I was headed to Duolun City, the largest nearby city, not just to sell the core of the many-faced monster, but also looking to seek information about a new and potentially powerful occupation that could replace my current role as a Demon Hunter.

Of course, the best occupations are exclusive to the few powerful churches of this world. Whether it’s a church with a True God or one with an Evil God, each has a very complete sequence of advancement that can take someone from the lowest, Sequence 9, to Sequence 1.

But joining a church…

Being under the watchful eyes of the gods within the church, it’s highly likely that my secret identity would be exposed. Who knows what would happen then.

So, I have no choice but to search on my own and try my luck.

This world is unfriendly to ordinary Humans; towns are fine, but out in the wild, Demons can be seen from time to time, and no ordinary person dares to venture out alone.

Lin Xiao rode his old horse leisurely along the official road, quickly entering the wilderness. The vegetation became lush, and Holly Town was no longer visible behind me. Apart from me, there was only a sizable merchant caravan on the whole road, including several soldiers who were Transcendent.

These are warriors from the Rank 9 of the warrior occupation system; one level up is Rank 8, the Charger, followed by Rank 7, the Berserker, and Rank 6 is known as the Iron Knight.

The warrior profession is one of the most common and complete systems outside the Pantheon System, with the highest being promoted to Sequence 3, becoming top-tier Professionals.

It is said that the warrior occupation system was controlled by an ancient True God, but ever since that True God fell, the methods for advancement beyond Sequence 3 have been lost, and now there are no warriors beyond Sequence 3.

“This seems to be a viable option!”

Sequence 3 combined with the Supreme Naga bloodline and a significant boost from Divinity, should be enough to kill that terrifying Evil Spirit and complete the Bond Return.

Thinking this, he spurred his horse to speed up, planning to catch up with the caravan and inquire with those warrior Professionals.

Just as he approached the caravan and before he could greet them, the daylight, which had been fine just a moment ago, suddenly grew dark, and then a circle… a very familiar Field swept over, encompassing both him and the caravan within.

Sitting astride his horse, Lin Xiao jerked in surprise as a faint Aura blossomed from him, encircling him, and his voice changed:

“This world? The power from the Main World can actually radiate over here?”

With a slightly different gaze than his Incarnation’s, he curiously observed his surroundings, looking in a certain direction, he sensed two different Divine Realm auras colliding: one like himself from the Human Camp, and the other somewhat familiar, apparently a Son of the Void.

The stimulation from the Divine Realm’s power field instantly connected Lin Xiao’s Incarnation, the Son of Gaia, with Main World Gaia Will, as well as his own Divine Realm. The true will of Lin Xiao’s True Body extended through the Divine Realm in an instant.

This abrupt change was completely unexpected. He had thought he had to wait a year or two for the Divine Power Blood Essence, that was to transfer his True Body here, to fully integrate, and then kill the Evil Spirit before he could return. He never expected that there would be a battle so nearby between a Human Divine Realm Son and a Son of the Void Divine Realm, and as one of Gaia’s Sons Incarnate, he was called back to awareness by the will of Gaia.

This privilege was unique to him; should any other Son of the Divine Realm become lost or disconnected, the will of Gaia wouldn’t awaken them.

In other words, he could now communicate with his True Body and return immediately.

That was exactly what Lin Xiao was thinking: return and attain Divine Enthronement first.

It’s not that he wouldn’t kill the Evil Spirit, but by returning and undergoing Divine Enthronement first, his strength would surge, and then he could simply send an Incarnation of God to easily crush that Evil Spirit—wouldn’t that be delightful?

The Bond Return was the Incarnation’s commitment. As the will of the True Body took precedence, the way of thinking was bound to be somewhat different from the Incarnation.

Having lived in this world for so many years, the Incarnation had not yet shifted its mindset; it was determined to have its revenge before leaving. In contrast, the True Body’s approach was to prioritize more secure steps like Divine Enthronement first. The overall plan hadn’t changed; it was merely a matter of precedence.

Without any intention of communicating with the caravan, he hastened his horse off the main road and into the wild. The direction where the two Divine Realm Sons were clashing was the same as his current heading.

Before returning, he wanted to see how the battle between the two Divine Realm Sons was unfolding, lend a hand, and incidentally ask the Human Divine Realm Son for some information.

He was completely in the dark about this world; it was better to ask someone familiar with this world for clarity, to prevent any future disadvantages.

The old horse rushed into the wilderness, the high weeds blocking his vision. After rushing for a mile or two, he cleared a large swath of unknown shrubs and saw ahead two spheres of light, one red and one black, blending together.

He could tell at a glance that the Divine Realms of the two Divine Realm Sons had completely connected, and they appeared to have been battling for a short time. Now it seemed to have reached a climactic phase, and furthermore, they were evenly matched; otherwise, their powers wouldn’t be so out of control.

“`

One should know that when Divine Realms fully engage in battle, such major phenomena would not occur if one party was much stronger than the other, and control over Strength wouldn’t be lost.

“It seems I’ve arrived at just the right moment!”

Riding a horse, he slowly approached the two orbs of light suspended in the air, his Aura slowly spreading around him without which the old horse wouldn’t have been able to make it.

Seemingly sensing his approach, the black orb began to shake violently, and a surge of dark light pressed the white orb down.

“Still have energy to spare?”

He reached out and touched the black orb, and his Divine Realm quickly unfolded to interface with another unfamiliar Void Realm. His figure began to fade and soon turned into a white orb suspended in mid-air, slowly approaching the black orb.

In another dimension, the space at the southernmost part of Lin Xiao’s Main Divine Realm began to twist violently, and fluctuations from another Divine Realm emanated from there.

Without the need for Lin Xiao to announce his Divine Realm, Slarda, who was stationed in the Divine Realm, immediately summoned one hundred thousand Lesser Nagas and three legions of the Supreme Naga, as well as a legion of Star Spirit Mages, while personally holding a six-colored Magic Cube near the passage between the two realms, ready to summon troops from the Magician Kingdom and the Expeditionary Army vanguard at any moment.

As they grew stronger, especially since Lin Xiao’s God Domain Strength was clearly much more powerful than that of the Son of the Void, his Divine Power swiftly broke through the barrier between the two realms. With a thunderous boom, the twisted Void shattered, and his Power of God’s Realm burst through the passage into the opposite Divine Realm.

Lin Xiao’s will traveled through the Divine Realm passage into the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void. He saw a stretch of Void about a hundred kilometers across—smaller than he expected, only slightly larger than one of his subsidiary Divine Realms.

The Son of the Void had not many kin in his Divine Realm, only tens of thousands of strangely shaped creatures surrounding a central monster, which looked like a meteorite covered in tentacles. It seemed the rest were pressing the attack on another Son of the God realm.

Lin Xiao’s sudden appearance was clearly beyond the Son of the Void’s expectations. Now one could see a surge of Void Monsters spewing from the passage connected to another Human Divine Realm on the other side, quickly converging towards the center, obviously preparing to defend first and deal with Lin Xiao after defeating the other Son of the God realm.

Clearly, the Son of the Void didn’t think much of Lin Xiao, otherwise he wouldn’t have done so.

Without any intention of communicating, Lin Xiao sent a thought, and a Divine-mandate was issued down the Divine Realm, prompting one of the Supreme Naga legions to begin entering the inter-realm passage.

Humans and other Divine Realm civilizations are fundamentally enemies; perhaps on equal footing, there might be a possibility for compromise, but at this point, with the clear disparity in Strength, there definitely wouldn’t be any chance of compromise.

“I say, grant flight, Strength, Speed…”

A golden light flew out from the center of the Divine Realm and landed on the about-to-enter Supreme Naga legion, blessing each Naga warrior with a flight spell and a series of BUFFs. The Son of the Void’s Divine Realm was mostly Void; not being able to fly wouldn’t do.

As the first Supreme Naga entered the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void, he remained silent.

A large group of Supreme Nagas entered the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void, and there was some agitation in the central mass of flesh.

As a full legion of Supreme Naga entered the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void, a large number of Void Monsters began to return through the inter-realm passage.

Before long, a total of three Supreme Naga legions and a Star Spirit Mage legion, along with the vanguard of one hundred and ten thousand from the Expeditionary Army, successively entered the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void. One could see the Void Creatures rapidly contracting, with more and more retreating from the other Divine Realm.

As Black Dragon Nejelanmu, who had ascended to Demigod status, forced his massive body into the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void, one hundred and fifty thousand regular Divine Realm troops accompanied by a dragon’s roar resonating throughout the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void launched their attack.

The ensuing battle could only be described as utterly overwhelming. The kin of this Son of the Void had no chance to resist against the kin of his Divine Realm and were utterly crushed.

This Son of the Void was far inferior compared to the True God Level Son of the Void he’d encountered before. Within the Void Realm, most of the Void Creatures were around Rank 3 or 4, with over two thousand above Rank 6. There were only two Legendary Rank 8 Void Creatures, one being the central mass of flesh and the other a hundred-meter-long serpent wrapped in Lightning.

This was far weaker than Lin Xiao expected, unable to offer any resistance against the powerful Supreme Naga legions capable of contending with Rank 7. They were simply steamrolled.

When Li Mei emerged from the inter-realm passage with the remnants of her Clan, she beheld a Void filled with corpses. The once-formidable Void army that had rendered her powerless now lay in shambles, utterly routed. In particular, the Legendary Thunder Serpent was torn in half and writhing endlessly as it tumbled through the Void. Tens of thousands of a powerful Race with noble and imposing presences, their bodies covered in golden scales, were gathering in the center of the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void, besieging the True Body of the Son of the Void.

After observing for a while, she withdrew her gaze. Her Incarnation, accompanied by a few guards, flew towards the other inter-realm passage across the Divine Realm of the Son of the Void and from afar saw Lin Xiao’s Incarnation guarding the entrance to the passage.

He naturally sensed the approaching figures. His eyelids lifted, his eyes sparkled for a moment, and he couldn’t help but exclaim,

“What a beautiful woman!”

She was a voluptuous and ripe beauty, whose every movement oozed a seductive charm not found in young girls, tender yet not overly coquettish, very eye-catching indeed.
