Chapter 413

Watching the gods flee in panic,

Li Li Li Yue's expression remained calm.

Yet, in his heart, he felt a touch of emotion.

Once upon a time,

he was merely an ordinary human from Earth.

Even after arriving on the Immortal Continent, he had been cautious, not daring to take a single wrong step.

Now—

finally, through his own efforts, his wisdom, and his perseverance,

he had reached this level.

A casual strike was enough to slay a mid-level True God and frighten away thousands more.

*Whoosh—*

He put away the black pagoda before him.

"Including this pagoda, the harvest exceeds two hundred thousand drops of divine power."

He was satisfied.

The new era had arrived.

The extraterritorial battlefield was open.

These mid-level True Gods were all far wealthier than those of the old era.

A mid-level True God who had only condensed a single bright moon

possessed over eighty thousand drops of divine power within their godhead—something unimaginable in the old era.

"In the new era, the strong truly grow stronger."

He whispered to himself.

His gaze—

turned toward the west.

The Four Seasons God City was clearly located on the eastern edge of this extraterritorial battlefield.

And heading west

meant heading toward the depths of the battlefield.

"The outer regions are mostly frequented by low-level True Gods."

"The core regions are the true battlefields for mid-level True Gods…"

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Previously,

slaying four low-level True Gods had yielded less than ten thousand drops of divine power.

But now—

slaying just one ordinary mid-level True God had yielded over one hundred thousand drops.

Clearly—

the gains from slaying mid-level True Gods

far outweighed those from low-level ones.

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them…"

"But if they come to deliver divine power, I can't exactly refuse, can I…"

He thought for a moment,

then set off toward the west.

But having traveled only a thousand miles,

he stopped.

He turned his gaze toward his divine kingdom and the material world.

At this moment—

the Thunder Sect was holding its grand annual sacrificial ceremony.

A look of reflection appeared on his face:

"Twenty-eight years…"

He had been in the Endless Void

for exactly twenty-eight years.

But in reality,

the time he had experienced was far more than twenty-eight years.

…

The material world.

Before the massive temple,

a vast multitude of beings from various races knelt on the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see—all believers praying piously.

Although the time acceleration had been interrupted by Li Li Li Yue,

two thousand years had still passed.

In those two thousand years, the various races had multiplied.

With ample food and no war,

their populations had exploded.

The entire material world—

the total population of all races had exceeded ten billion.

"Great Master, You are more sublime than the starry sky, more eternal than eternity, Your radiance illuminates the world—"

"You granted us life, You granted us hope…"

"You granted us strength, You granted us the right to survive…"

"We believe in You piously, we beg for Your protection…"

"Great Master, please accept our offerings!"

Hog knelt at the very front.

Holding the divine staff that represented the authority of the Thunder Sect and wearing the Thunder God Crown, his voice was passionate and devout.

As a True God—

and a Holy Spirit of the highest rank among believers—

he alone could provide Li Li Li Yue with one hundred strands of divine power daily.

That was over a thousand times more than a Golden Demigod-level Holy Spirit!

And all the other believers combined—

annually, Li Li Li Yue could harvest an astonishing one hundred and seventy drops of divine power!

In one thousand years,

that amounted to one hundred and seventy thousand drops of divine power!

Before,

had he not accelerated time by two thousand years

and harvested over two hundred thousand drops of divine power,

he wouldn't have had enough to cultivate a second Silver Apple Tree.

"Eh?"

"What is this?"

Li Li Li Yue's gaze fell upon the offering before the temple.

He was slightly stunned.

It was a yellow gemstone.

A type of gemstone he had never seen before.

And for Hog to use it as a sacrifice—

it was clearly no ordinary gem!

*Whoosh—*

Purple light flashed in his eyes.

Curiously, he activated his Eye of Insight.

…

【Earth Gem】

【Rank】: Mid-level God rank

【Effect】: Formed by condensing the essence of the earth over countless years.

① Can assist Earth-type True Gods in breaking through bottlenecks, comprehending divine offices, and accelerating cultivation.

② Can dispel any Earth-type magic or divine arts, provided they do not exceed the limit of a mid-level True God.

…

"Earth Gem?"

"To think it's this kind of treasure!"

Li Li Li Yue exclaimed in surprise.

Every element naturally had a multitude of treasures.

And the Earth Gem—

was an extremely precious treasure within the Earth element!

In the Endless Void,

any treasure that could help a deity break through a bottleneck was a supreme treasure.

Such as the God-Making Tower, Golden Apples, Silver Apples, Profound Yellow Divine Fruit, and so on.

Treasures of this type

were the most sought after by deities.

Their value was extremely high.

A mid-level God-rank Earth Gem would be fought over desperately by mid-level Earth-type True Gods.

"Where did Hog and the others get this gem?"

He felt a bit curious.

*Whoosh—*

In an instant,

the memories in Hog's mind

regarding this gem appeared before him.

"Tianlan Plane."

"To think it was discovered by Claire in the treasury of the Life True God sect on the Tianlan Plane."

He was speechless.

Such a supreme treasure,

and the other party had actually kept it hidden away.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Demigods not recognized by the City of Gods did not possess the Eye of Insight.

Only True Gods did.

When the Life sect obtained this Earth Gem, they probably had no idea what it was.

It was only after Claire retrieved it and sent it to the Thunder Sect

that Hog, a True God, examined it and realized its nature.

Suddenly,

a thought struck him:

"A mid-level God-rank offering—"

"After being sacrificed, it will surely become a high-level God-rank offering—"

"And a high-level God-rank Earth Gem—"

"Could it dispel the petrification of the Goddess of Light, Venus?!"

"The Earth Gem is said to be able to dispel all Earth-type magic and divine arts."

"And petrification also belongs to the Earth element…"

Thinking of this,

his heart suddenly began to beat violently.

Venus—

was a high-level True God!

If she could be freed from her petrification, without a doubt,

she would be his top warrior, his most capable and efficient assistant!
