Chapter 375: Pseudo Life Core, Exit of the Fusishi Jie Barrier

The God of Life continued to display her beautiful smile, causing Jiang Chen to sigh in admiration at her perfection, as if she surpassed the ultimate limits of mortal women, exuding an unreal sense of beauty.

She began to move, walking toward a garden, and Jiang Chen followed behind her.

Jiang Chen did not sense any malice from the God of Life.

The God of Life gently waved her hand, and petals danced in the air, forming a neatly arranged staircase.

"Your Human Race's Divine Level is just like these steps."

She explained, "Every step forward makes you stronger, as if each step ascends to heaven. A difference of one level is already a world apart. We gods are divided into three grades: low, middle, and high. I am a high-grade god, roughly equivalent to a Level 97 Divine-level Strongman of your Human Race."

Li Xueru and the other two were all Level 95 Divine-level Strongmen, already the pinnacle of the Human Race.

But within the Divine Level hierarchy, a difference of one level already creates a massive gap.

Even if Li Xueru and the other two joined forces, they might find it difficult to defeat the God of Life.

The God of Life waved her hand, and petals danced, forming various images.

These included Demons, the Dragon Race, the Human Race, and other gods.

The God of Life used the petals to show Jiang Chen the battle situation from back then—that fierce battle that nearly tore the entire world apart.

The God of Life explained, "The root cause of that great war back then was actually this."

She raised the Creation Scepter in her hand, as if emphasizing the crucial role this item played in that war.

Jiang Chen was startled—it was actually for the Creation Scepter.

What kind of magic did this little scepter possess, to be able to trigger such chaos?

The God of Life said, "At the beginning of the great war, I was not yet the God of Life."

"Later, I obtained the Creation Scepter and only then became the God of Life."

As the God of Life spoke, her beautiful eyes looked over.

Only then did Jiang Chen suddenly realize the function of the Creation Scepter.

This was something that could make someone the God of Life.

The value of such a treasure far exceeded that of a Mythic Weapon.

Its worth was incalculable.

No wonder it had triggered a great war.

Jiang Chen said, "If a god obtains the scepter, they can become the God of Life, but what use is it if someone from the Human Race gets it?"

The God of Life said with a smile, "It's even more useful for the Human Race. The Human Race can comprehend the power within the scepter and have a chance to surpass the Divine Level."

The God of Life, in a slow and deliberate tone, recounted the causes and outcomes of that great war from back then.

She spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, extremely gracefully.

Jiang Chen listened carefully, and after one telling, he understood everything completely.

That great war back then was all triggered by a single small Creation Scepter.

The previous God of Life fell unexpectedly, leaving behind the Creation Scepter.

For gods, obtaining the Creation Scepter meant receiving the inheritance of the God of Life, thus becoming the new God of Life.

In the world of gods, there were also ranks.

The God of Life belonged to the high-grade gods, equivalent to a Level 97 Divine-level Strongman of the Human Race.

If the Human Race obtained the Creation Scepter, they would very likely rely on the inheritance of the God of Life within it to become a Super God-level Strongman, or at the very least, a Half-step Super God.

The same went for Demons—they had a chance to become a Demon Emperor.

The Dragon Race could potentially use it to elevate their Bloodline, return to their ancestral origins, and become a Dragon Emperor.

The world now known as "Fusishi Jie" was originally the world of the God of Life before the great war, also called "Creation World"—a world that could create life.

During the great war, the Creation Scepter was obtained by the God of Life before you.

At that time, another god unleashed a forbidden Skill.

At the cost of their own life, they buried the entire "Creation World."

Turning the originally vibrant "Creation World" into the current "Fusishi Jie."

The God of Life had just completed the succession of the divine throne and had no time to exert any divine power before encountering this catastrophic disaster.

She was able to use the power of the Creation Scepter to leave a thread of hope for the entire world.

She fell, and the Creation Scepter split into two.

One part became the Creation Lightning, while the Life Core's whereabouts became unknown.

Before dying, she merged her final will into the Creation Secret Realm.

And the key to opening the Secret Realm was the Creation Scepter.

The God of Life before you is merely her final will, not even a soul.

After hearing the story, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

He never expected the reason to be like this.

"Even you don't know the whereabouts of the Life Core?" Jiang Chen asked.

The God of Life dispersed the petals, "I don't know. If you're fated, you might come across it."

"Thank you for bringing the Creation Scepter here, giving me a chance to see the flowers and grass again, to smell the fragrance of blossoms."

"Alright, I've said everything that needed to be said, and I've finally reached the end of my time."

"Finally, let me give you one more gift."

As she spoke, the Goddess of Life radiated a brilliant light, and the Creation Scepter returned to Jiang Chen's hand.

At the same time, an additional Life Core appeared on the Creation Scepter.

"Little friend of the Human Race, this is a Pseudo Life Core I condensed with my last bit of power."

"Using it, you have three chances to wield Divine Level power, merely equivalent to the Level 90 power of your Human Race."

A voice sounded in his ear — this was the gift the God of Life had spoken of.

Jiang Chen asked, "I recall that gods are very hard to kill. Do you still have a chance to be resurrected?"

"Once you surpass godhood, you'll know whether there's a chance or not."

The God of Life's voice faded completely, until it vanished entirely.

"Scepter of Creation (Fake)"

"Has 3 attack charges: 3/3"

While the God of Life was speaking, Jiang Chen could deeply feel the sorrow she had felt back then.

Her grief was not for her own death, but for the vast number of living beings that had perished, for the entire "Realm of Creation" turning into "Fusishi Jie."

This sorrow came from the heart, and Jiang Chen felt his perception could not be wrong.

This was a benevolent deity.

If there was a chance, perhaps he really could consider resurrecting her.

Jiang Chen put away the Scepter of Creation.

Now he had become the master of the Scepter of Creation; as long as he could find the true Core of Life, he could fully restore it.

The statue vanished, the flowers withered, and the entire manor scattered with the wind...

Si Tu Yu, who had been waiting outside the manor, was astonished to find that the Barrier blocking her had disappeared.

The manor also vanished from before her eyes.

Jiang Chen stood there blankly, lost in thought.

She quickly ran over, "How did it go?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said nothing, "It's nothing. I just understood some things."

Si Tu Yu was clever enough not to press further.

If Jiang Chen wanted to talk, he would bring it up himself.

Since he didn't want to say, why bother asking?

An exit appeared before the two of them; standing beside it, they could feel the unique aura of "Fusishi Jie."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly — a perfectly good "Realm of Creation" had turned into this.

He really couldn't fathom what that deity who had used the forbidden Skill was thinking.

Jiang Chen was not a god, so he couldn't understand the thoughts of gods.

"Let's go!"

He withdrew the Undead Legion and left the Secret Realm together with Si Tu Yu.

Roars came from all around, and a terrifying pressure surged from every direction, as if trying to crush them into dust.

A massive tail swept across and slammed heavily into Jiang Chen.

The Bone Armor glowed brightly and blocked the tail, but the Bone Armor shattered at the same time.

Then a palm pressed down, crashing onto Jiang Chen with a boom.

Jiang Chen stood unmoving; all the damage was transferred to the Undead Legion.

A Giant Stone whistled through the air and smashed into Si Tu Yu.

Her Bone Armor was also shattered by the stone.

Another giant claw came crashing down toward Si Tu Yu's head.

Jiang Chen finally snapped out of the teleportation trance and, without a second thought, immediately cast Bone Armor on Si Tu Yu.

Taking a hit or two wouldn't do much to him, but Si Tu Yu couldn't withstand it.

One more blow and she would probably die.

The Bone Armor took effect just in time, helping Si Tu Yu block a Lethal Strike.

He cast Bone Armor on Si Tu Yu again, and at the same time the Undead Legion appeared — a dense mass of Skeletons protecting the two of them.

Only then did Jiang Chen begin to survey his surroundings.

They were in a valley, surrounded by six sword-like towering peaks.

Seeing the terrain, Jiang Chen shuddered, "The central area."

In the God of Life's demonstration, the area where the great battle had erupted back then was the central region of "Fusishi Jie."

The biggest feature of the central region was these six peaks.

The six peaks were fused with the entire world, incredibly sturdy — even that great battle back then had failed to destroy them.

And the area enclosed by the six peaks was the very center of the entire world.

"Ah, how did we end up here?" Si Tu Yu finally came to her senses.

Jiang Chen ignored her, his gaze rapidly scanning the surroundings, until he finally found a Barrier in an inconspicuous spot.

"Is that it?" Jiang Chen asked urgently.

Just then, another attack swept in.

It was a massive dragon's tail — a rotting dragon's tail.

With one sweep, thousands of Skeletons were sent flying, falling like raindrops.

The Undead Legion was heavily damaged; the 22 Lich Generals healed frantically.

Si Tu Yu was momentarily stunned.

Jiang Chen grabbed her, pointed toward the Barrier, and asked again urgently, "Is that the exit?"
