214 Godhood Fragment! (1)
“There are still more than ten hours. When I go back and complete the mission, I can refine a Divinity Crystal and a Divinity Fragment. Not bad.”
Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. “Next is the advancement competition. With my current strength, I can easily take it down. However, the process still has to be done. I can also build up Azure Plume’s reputation so that I can earn more money in the future.”
Actually, to Lin Bei, money was no longer important. However, he still had to survive in the real world. It was not easy to do things without money. It was not wrong to have more.
“Elena, have you recovered?”
Lin Bei sized up Elena and asked curiously, “What realm are you at now?”
“Yes, I’ve recovered. And compared to before, my foundation is more stable and my strength is greater.”
Elena rubbed her soft golden hair and smiled. “In terms of realm, I should be at the half-step Legendary Realm, but in terms of Combat Strength, ordinary Legends… won’t be my match.”
“That powerful?”
Lin Bei found it unbelievable.
“Hehe, you’ve seen the terrifying effect of level suppression. Now, all my attributes… have Level 3 suppression!”
“Impressive!”
When Lin Bei heard this, he could not help but say in shock, “It’s actually a Level 3 suppression of all attributes! Too powerful!”
“Actually, it’s only so-so. In the last era, when there were many gods, the Level 3 suppression could only be considered a little famous. If you want to dominate a region, you need the Level 5 suppression!”
Elena said in a low voice, “And the Level 5 suppression is the limit that Legends below the God Level can reach. Above that is the gap between gods and humans, like a natural chasm.”
“The power of gods is not something that can be resisted by suppression.”
“Are gods really that powerful?”
When Lin Bei heard this, he could not help but frown and ask, “But if they’re so powerful, why did they disappear?”
“Deities… are indeed very powerful. A deity can easily destroy a world. The life force of a deity is already in another dimension above all living beings. Even if they leave the rules of the world, they can still transform into existences of rules themselves.”
Elena said solemnly, “In other words, in a way, the gods are indestructible. In the last era, a huge battle broke out. After that, the gods disappeared. The Sword God played a key role in this. As for where the gods went, whether they are alive or dead, I don’t know.”
“That world-destroying battle directly divided the world into the Bright World, the Dark World, and the Abyss. Some people said that the gone gods turned into rules and maintained the existence of the three worlds. Some people said that the gods had fallen. Some people said that the gods were just distracted elsewhere by an unknown power.”
Elena said, “Anyway, there are different opinions. As for the details, I’m afraid only the Gods themselves know.”
“Then what do you mean when I heard you and Ania say that God can no longer be called a creature?”
“Hehe, gods are more like machines. They have almost lost all their emotions, leaving only pure the Will of Rules. So it’s normal to say that they’re not living creatures, right?”
Elena sighed and seemed to recall something. She shook her head and said, “Of course, not all gods have lost their emotions, but they’re too few. Even so, they’ve become different from ordinary people. How should I put it? That feeling is like the isolation of a dimension. Although they’re standing in front of you, you feel that they’re out of reach and don’t exist.”
“I’ve always felt that gods are more like… self-running programs compared to all living beings.”
“Programs?”
When Lin Bei heard this, he frowned.
Wasn’t Second World a technological achievement from the extraterrestrial civilization?
Could it be that the gods were the will of the AI of the Second World?
Damn, this was too mysterious, right?
Were they existences like Miss Yuan?
Lin Bei thought of the AI that he had seen on the live broadcast in his previous life. She only appeared once at every WWL finals award ceremony. A trace of doubt arose in his heart.
“It’s too early for you to consider this now. You should break through to the Extraordinary Realm as soon as possible and advance to the Legendary Realm before thinking about the gods.”
Elena looked at Lin Bei, who was frowning, and smiled as she took out a glazed fragment that flickered with seven-colored light. “This is a Godhood Fragment. If you collect three pieces, you can advance to Extraordinary. I happen to have one here. Take it as your reward for saving me.”
“Also, I sense a familiar aura from you. It should be the candlestick I once placed in the cultivation room. I’ll take it away. I don’t have any suitable equipment now, so I can only use it as a replacement.”
As Elena spoke, she raised her hand and a black statue that was kneeling and praying flew out of Lin Bei’s body. Elena tapped her finger gently, and the originally black statue immediately lit up with dazzling golden holy light, illuminating the entire sixth level of the Blood Demon Prison.
“Alright, let’s leave this place as soon as possible. After all, other than the Blood Demon Prison, there are still two other Blood Demon forces. Now is not the time to have a conflict with them.”
“Um… Elena, you’re so powerful, but I heard that you actually lost to the Blood Demon Hall Master. Is that Hall Master really that powerful?”
