Boom! Boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of thunder was a booming voice that spread across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three streaks of white lightning appeared at the edge of the world and all creatures that were unfortunate enough to have been struck died instantly before they could even scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Snake Spirit King's voice spoke to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want strength?” he asked. His voice was encompassing and made even the strongest hearts tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these savage races were currently in panic, the sheer worship and devotion in their eyes were unmistakable. This black snake's power was truly something divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I also want that type of power....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This invincible force can make me strong!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake Spirit King's offer filled everyone with excitement and fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want strength! I want power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master! Grant upon us such power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will pursue this path towards greatness no matter the cost...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their enthusiastic response did not surprise the Snake Spirit King. In fact, he expected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world was devoid of morality and order and these savage races only knew slaughter. They would do anything if it meant more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the place where the three streaks of white lightning intersected formed a snake-shaped totem. It was so big and dazzling that it could be seen from across the entire Burial Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go towards the totem!” the Snake Spirit King ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is there that you will obtain unprecedented power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the totem was put in place, the entire Burial Land began to change shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crack split open on each of the three sides of the Burial Land. The land began to morph into something that resembled a three-mouthed monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its job done with, the Snake Spirit King's consciousness returned to the Jade Pure Realm. “The Burial Land is ready,” he said to the black light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let us commence with our plan then,” the black light replied. “Go and ask the Blood Snake Girl to light up the black lamp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake Spirit King's eyes flashed coldly at the mention of her name. “Blood Snake Girl...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did as he was asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds had just passed when a woman, inlaid on the wall at the side of the chaos, suddenly opened her eyes - she was the Blood Snake Girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes shone like two beautiful crescent moons. “Father? Is that you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate the Evil Bead,” the Snake Spirit King ordered harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Snake Girl tilted her head. “Are you still so stubborn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake Spirit King couldn't help but let out a series of laughter. “You know that the only reason I still let you live is to make you see how this all goes down. You will witness who was actually right in the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to argue and the Blood Snake Girl decided to just shut her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had tried to resist more than a thousand chaotic eras ago and ended up imprisoned for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she was somewhat expectant to see her father sport a desperate, helpless expression when he failed in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. I'll activate the Evil Bead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buzz...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, the aforementioned Evil Bead above her head began to spin and traces of blood light began to gather within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unprecedented amount of energy soon surrounded the Evil Bead. The energy fluctuated like powerful waves across the infinite sea, pushing away the chaotic energy around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thousand divine megatons of force...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand divine megatons of force...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A million divine megatons of force...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten million divine megatons of force...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the power hidden within the Evil Bead increased exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the ten Holy Items on the Snake Spirit Sect's holy pillar, it was only the Evil Dead that had the ability to absorb unlimited energy from the pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying energy was compressed into this small bead. If this energy exploded, even the Source World would be unable to withstand it. It was enough to create a huge hole in the Source World and destroy hundreds of large provinces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead and light it up...” The Blood Snake Girl sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp popping sound, the Evil Bead suddenly released a ray of blood light that flew towards the boundless chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying energy absorbed by the bead was compressed into that single ray of blood light, which shot upward at an incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Pear Hill continued to fly in the chaos at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone's surprise, the ray of blood light, as thin as a finger yet faster than anything they'd ever seen, suddenly swept past just thirty thousand miles away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Pear Hill been a little bit slower, it would've gotten penetrated by that ray of blood light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite it being thirty thousand miles away, the massive energy it contained alerted the powerful warriors in the Pear Hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake Goddess, Fuxi, Zen, and the three Chaos Ancient Gods looked east at the exact same time they felt an irresistible force suddenly rush past them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could there be such great power in the chaos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was too fast. I couldn't see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sudden burst of power came and went so suddenly that there wasn't even any time to process or guess what it had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the blood light reached the top of the chaos and hit its thick dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its devastating power, the ray of blood light smashed the dome and revealed a small lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small black oil lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lamp had a basic shape and looked positively ancient. Despite the simplicity of its form, however, various complex patterns were engraved on its four, wooden pedestals. Inside the lamp was a glazed cup and a thin wick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this lamp, the ray of blood light would've been able to pierce straight through the dome. This small, ancient relic was able to withstand such a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withstand, however, wasn't the right word. In truth, the lamp had absorbed all that power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buzz...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-red light circled around the oil lamp and gathered at its wick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness, a tiny, blood-red flame came alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the powerful warriors of the Four Spirits Sect saw what just happened, they would've been immobilized by fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the Snake Spirit Sect lit up this very lamp and destroyed everything in the main world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to survive, the Human and Bird Spirit Sects were forced to escape and seek refuge in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this harbinger of destruction, was once again alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless crystals formed from within the oil lamp and began to spread out onto the chaos. These crystals contained the mysterious power of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos clouds grew restless when they met with these crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They usually floated quietly within the chaos and remained unchanging, unless they were absorbed by other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, the presence of these crystals stirred something within these clouds as they began to rapidly absorb the chaotic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These chaos clouds that stretched out for trillions of miles were split into tens of thousands of pieces and began to take numerous shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By some weird power, the crystals morphed the chaos clouds into the many heads of strange beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These strange beasts had a bit of similarity to each other and the expressions they sported looked crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crystals continued to spread further into the chaos, the chaos clouds continued to transform and morph into these strange beast heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They floated quietly in the chaos with their eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-06T08:28:25.379Z",1,"novelbin.me","84a03504fbc3fc90907543c37cc46b87afc8c841d5d276d35ade760bb5493218","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-3761","apotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-chapter-3759",3927,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapotheosis-ascension-to-godhood-cover.jpg"]
