Chapter 486: The Fall of the Thunder God: Hurry to Become a Super God

The Thunder God's demeanor carries a hint of kindness and gentleness.

It seems to hold a friendly attitude toward the Human Race, and each time it mentions him it affectionately calls Jiang Chen a Human Race youth.

This makes Jiang Chen recall the Life God he met in Fusishi Jie, whose deity also appears to have a harmonious relationship with the Human Race.

By contrast, the Poison God's attitude is completely different.

From these subtle differences, Jiang Chen infers that the deities may also have distinct factions and stances.

Since there are deities close to the Human Race, it is likely there are also those that despise humanity, leaning toward Abyss Demon deities.

It seems the realm of deities is not entirely peaceful, but also filled with complexity and conflict.

Jiang Chen briefly described the current state of the Human Race to the Thunder God.

The Thunder God, after listening, sighed softly, "It seems they have not achieved their wishes; Antares still watches this world."

Jiang Chen nodded in confirmation, "Yes, it is now in the Core Area of the Upper Space of the Ancient Battlefield."

The Thunder God's voice grew ethereal, "As long as it exists, this world can continue in peace."

Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Is Antares the one protecting this world?"

The Thunder God did not answer directly; Jiang Chen could sense that it likewise dislikes speaking much.

Most of the time, it simply listened quietly to Jiang Chen's narration.

At this moment, the Thunder God's aura began to wane, seeming about to depart.

Its voice sounded again in Jiang Chen's mind, "I am leaving, Human Race youth; strive to become a Super God, for only by becoming a Super God will you truly comprehend this world."

After uttering those words, the Thunder God fell into prolonged silence.

Its body

was once again enveloped by Thunder Elements, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

Jiang Chen firmly memorized its final charge: becoming a Super God, that is his true goal.

The Thunder God gently brushed the Thunder God Blade in its hand one last time, and the blade silently transformed into a sky of lightning, drifting softly throughout the palace.

These lightning lights seemed to carry a certain magic, surrounding Jiang Chen and slowly permeating his body.

The Bone Armor showed no reaction, indicating the lightning lights are harmless to him.

"Thunder Element immunity ceiling increased by 1℅."

"Thunder Element immunity permanently increased by 1℅"

"Thunder Element immunity ceiling increased by 1℅."

Jiang Chen could feel his body subtly changing, as if his connection with Thunder Elements grew tighter.

He does not understand what kind of power this is, but he knows it is certainly an extraordinary ability.

Pure Thunder Elements, in the Thunder God's hand, seem to become endless mysteries, displaying awe-inspiring power.

"Thunder Element immunity permanently increased by 1℅"

…

Several pieces of information streamed continuously, flashing in Jiang Chen's mind.

In a very short time, Jiang Chen was astonished to find his Thunder Element immunity had already reached 100℅.

From this moment onward, he possesses absolute immunity to Thunder Element assaults.

All Thunder Elements in the world can no longer harm him.

"This is..." Jiang Chen, amid his excitement, couldn't help but ask.

"Gift!"

The Thunder God succinctly gave those two words, and its figure gradually faded amid the surrounding Thunder Elements.

At the same time, the Burial of Thunder Land began to quake violently, thunder and lightning howling, as if

Buddha mourned the Thunder God's departure.

Deafening wind roared around Jiang Chen's ears.

"Sound has returned!" Jiang Chen, upon hearing the sound, also realized the Thunder God had truly departed.

The Thunder God before his eyes had completely vanished, turning into countless lightning lights.

Among those myriad lightning lights, two brilliant beams suddenly shot out, piercing Jiang Chen's mind and disappearing.

"Acquired Medium Divine Rank."

"Acquired Thunder God Divine Seat."

"Medium Divine Rank: Absorb this rank to ascend to a deity, or comprehend its contained power to become a Divine-level Strongman."

"Thunder God Divine Seat: Fuse this seat to become the new Thunder God."

Jiang Chen clearly saw the Thunder God's divine rank in his mind.

It shares a similar subtlety with the Poison God's divine rank, yet the Thunder God's rank appears more refined and complex.

Especially the intricate patterns and lines on the rank, exuding an unfathomable aura.

Beside the Thunder God's divine rank, the divine seat throne floated silently.

Jiang Chen never expected to have once again obtained a divine rank and seat.

He understands this was voluntarily bestowed by the Thunder God.

Jiang Chen whispered, "If a suitable person appears in the future, I will pass on the rank and seat, allowing a new Thunder God to be born."

The lightning lights that remained after the Thunder God's dissolution eventually coalesced into ten crystal-clear gems, gently drifting into Jiang Chen's hand.

At the moment he touched these gems, Jiang Chen felt a powerful force that almost made him unable to steady his posture.

Although the ten gems are small in size, each seems to bear the weight of ten thousand jin.

Their emanation, unlike the Poison God's essence blood,

is completely different, seeming to contain a deeper, more primordial power.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel that these gems contained a strange power he had never encountered before.

The level of this power seemed to have already surpassed all the forces Jiang Chen had known before.

It was pure and mighty, inspiring awe in anyone who beheld it.

A thought flashed in Jiang Chen's mind: if these gems were used to summon an elemental lich, how astonishing the power would be.

"Law Gem (Electric): Mythological Class material, containing the essence of the Thunder Element Law."

Jiang Chen encountered the term "law" for the first time.

In his body of knowledge, there had never been any record concerning a law.

Thunder Element Law… Jiang Chen's mind was filled with curiosity and bewilderment, feeling that this must be an extremely high‑tier power.

At that moment, the entire palace began to shake violently.

With the departure of the Thunder God, the palace also started to collapse.

Jiang Chen showed no hesitation and rushed out of the palace.

The moment he sprinted out of the cavern, the whole mountain began to collapse dramatically, and a massive roar echoed across the Wind‑Thunder Continent.

Outside, the Burial Wind Land was filled with howling thunder and a mournful wind.

Unlike the previous silence, this place seemed to have become an opposite extreme.

The thunder sounded like weeping, as if narrating the Thunder God's departure.

Divine Falling Wind.

Not long ago, the Ancient Battlefield and the Human World were still bathed in Divine Falling Rain.

Now, the Wind‑Thunder Continent is once again swept by Divine Falling Wind.

The consecutive appearance of these two Divine Falling Omens moved the entire world.

Antares slowly opened its huge eyes, a trace of sorrow in its gaze, "Thunder God

—ultimately still left,"

"I never expected that kid would go in with a thunderblade and electric grass," its tone carried a hint of sentiment, then it sighed lightly, "But perhaps this is destiny's design, the end of the old era, heralding the beginning of a new era."

"You have been alone for so long; now you can finally be released," it murmured, as if speaking to the departed Thunder God.

…

In the Burial Wind Land, the drifting thunderlight in the sky gradually coalesced into a massive Thunderlight Beast, which let out an earth‑shaking roar, its voice filled with sorrow and reluctance.

Jiang Chen heard the Thunderlight Beast's roar for the first time; the sound roared like a gale, shaking the heart.

With each roar of the Thunderlight Beast, gusts of wild wind swept across the Burial Thunder Land, as if mourning the Thunder God's departure.

This Burial Thunder Land was, in fact, the resting place of the Thunder God.

At that moment, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the ground; he noticed that within the rainwater, tiny seeds were quietly sprouting, growing tender green shoots.

"This is... electric grass!" Jiang Chen's heart stirred as he recognized the identity of the shoots.

Although they are merely young electric grass now, perhaps one day, by chance, one of them will reform and become a new Thunder God.

If such a day comes, Jiang Chen will pass the Thunder God's divine seat to it, making it the next generation's guardian.

…

The heavy rain over the Human World had just ceased, yet it fell again without warning.

Most people felt the weather had become strangely odd, as if the whole world

were weeping.

Only a few knew the underlying truth.

Li Xueru stood by the window, his gaze deep as he watched the drizzle outside, brows knit, "Why have another deity fallen?"

"For nearly a thousand years the deities have lived in peace; why have two suddenly been lost in succession?" his mind was filled with confusion and doubt.

In his palm, a small tower lay quietly—it was the Shenlong Tower. At this moment, it seemed to tremble uneasily at the successive deity falls, as if seeking the cause.

Deep within the Dragon Clan Academy's Secret Realm, a brilliant light sliced across the sky.

Within the light, a massive magic array could be faintly seen rotating slowly.

Jiang Ruo stood side‑by‑side with an elderly man whose beard and hair were both white; she softly asked, "Teacher, can you calculate the cause?"

The elder shook his head, brows furrowed, "I cannot determine the exact cause, but it seems heavily linked to the Human Race."

Jiang Ruo gently extended a finger, a crystal‑clear droplet of dew forming at its tip; a soft smile on her face, "Teacher, then please help me calculate again—how is Xiao Chen now?"

The elder glanced at Jiang Ruo with a hint of helplessness, "You, how many times have you done this? Each droplet of dew costs you a fair amount of spirit power."

Jiang Ruo giggled, eyes sparkling with anticipation, "What does spending a bit of spirit power matter? Please, teacher, just calculate for me, okay?"

The elder sighed and could only reactivate the magic array.

The magic array slowly absorbed Jiang Ruo's dew, sensing the bloodline connections within the spirit power, as it attempted to trace Jiang Chen's whereabouts

"Your brother is safe now; you need not worry," the elder said slowly.

Then, raising an eyebrow as if discovering something, he asked, "Huh, how did he end up in the Lower Layer?"

Jiang Ruo was startled by the words, "Xiao Chen is already Level 70? How did it happen so fast?"

The elder shook his head, "Not so; he is still in the fifty‑something level range. Even at fifty‑something one can go to the Lower Layer. Jiang Ruo, your brother truly is remarkable."

The elder already had an answer in mind, knowing how Jiang Chen had reached the Lower Layer.

Jiang Ruo's face broke into a proud smile, "Of course, Xiao Chen is the best!"
