Chapter 1045: Lord of Morning — Lathander (First update, seeking)

PS: Considering it is Angel Essence Blood, not Fallen Angel Essence Blood, I have changed it to be absorbed during the day.

"It tastes quite good!"

Baitian licked its tongue, still wanting more, the bitter expression on its face replaced by joy.

Clearly, the taste of the Angel Essence Blood paired with the Blood Spirit Ginseng was very much to its liking.

But in the next moment, Baitian's expression changed abruptly; its skin began to squirm wildly, as if countless fingernail-sized insects were burrowing through its blood vessels.

Meow~

Baitian let out a miserable cry and hurriedly lay on the ground, struggling to absorb the Angel Essence Blood within its body.

The next moment, Baitian suddenly shone brilliantly, enveloped by rich, milky-white radiance, as the Angel Essence Blood within its body continuously merged into its blood, rapidly increasing the concentration of its Angel Bloodline.

When the milky-white radiance condensed to its limit, countless rays of light surged upward, forming a blurry phantom of an Angel above Baitian's head.

In the blink of an eye, the Angel phantom became clear, as if it were substantial.

The Angel is the head of angels, possessing six wings (purely fictional), and is also the highest rank among angels; its body is a spiritual form consisting purely of light and thought, without gender, radiating holy brilliance.

The eyes of the Angel phantom contained majesty, but if one observed closely, one would find them very vacant.

Although the Angel is a top-tier Divine Beast, it is not a unique type of top-tier Divine Beast, and it still lacks something in terms of power; naturally, its phantom would not possess its own will like those of the Elf King or the Time Dragon.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a roar erupted from the horizon, space shattered, and a holy radiance rushed out, transforming into a golden eyeball the size of a house, overlooking the scene below, its gaze instantly locking onto Baitian below.

"I am the Lord of Morning!"

A thunderous voice rang out, though due to plane restrictions, it could only be heard within a radius of a hundred miles.

At this very moment, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared, larger than the eye of the Lord of Morning, a presence as imposing as a prison emerged, and countless purple thunders roared like dragons, crazily rushing toward the divine eye manifested by the Lord of Morning.

In an instant, the divine eye was submerged by the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, and when the purple thunder disappeared, the divine eye in the sky had vanished.

Li Zhangsheng looked up at the vanished divine eye and had to retract the Huangquan Sword and the Biluo Sword; he had not expected that simply letting Baitian and Heiye possess the Angel Bloodline would result in blowing out the Lord of Morning.

It was fortunate that the Heavenly Dao of the Fairy World is 'narrow-minded'; due to the large-scale invasion of the Abyss, it has developed a habit of being hostile toward powerful foreign species, and any powerful foreign species that invades will be greeted by the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

"Lord of Morning!"

Li Zhangsheng felt that he had now been marked by the Lord of Morning; regarding the Lord of Morning, King Baisheng, who had once traveled the Main Material Plane, knew quite a bit of information.

The Lord of Morning is named Lathander, a Greater Divine Power, of the Neutral Good alignment, and is also one of the oldest Gods of the Main Material Plane; his status in the Main Material Plane is like that of the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors of the Fairy World.

Due to the disparity between worlds, the combat power of the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors is only comparable to gods of medium or weak divine power, far from being a match for Lathander.

Judging from King Baisheng's memories, Lathander is not without weaknesses; this god often acts on impulse and possesses a personality that pursues perfection and refuses to turn back once a problem is identified. It is easy for him to lose logical judgment and self-control.

The Dawn Cataclysm once occurred in the Main Material Plane, a disaster second only to the Time of Troubles, and these shortcomings of Lathander were fully manifested during this period.

At that time, Lathander intended to create an entire new pantheon with his own will, but the result triggered a divine power shock; the failure of his creation destroyed several gods and powerful planar creatures, directly leading to the collapse of half a dozen theocratic nations.

Despite such a disastrous failure, Lathander's religious influence remains strong, especially among those young and romantic nobles.

Such a powerful potential enemy put immense pressure on Li Zhangsheng; fortunately, this is the Fairy World, and even if Lathander acts on impulse, he wouldn't be so suicidal, would he?

Additionally, it must be said that the true bodies of gods in the Main Material Plane basically do not leave their Divine Kingdom, and what they send out are often Divine Spirit Avatars, Holy Spirits, petitioners, or created divine envoys.

Angels are not creations of gods, but because they mostly serve the gods, and most deities possess angel servants and are the executors of the gods' will, some believe that angels were created by the gods.

"It is best not to go to the Main Material Plane in the future!"

Li Zhangsheng silently made a decision; he felt that if he wanted to ensure safety while traveling the Main Material Plane, he would likely need to become a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer to handle Lathander's Divine Spirit Avatar. Furthermore, after this incident, Li Zhangsheng felt he had been too high-profile recently and it would be best to go out and hide for a period of time.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng continued to look at Baitian.

After a few breaths, the wings of the Angel phantom moved without wind, turning into countless feathers shimmering with radiance that drifted down, landing precisely on Baitian and disappearing the moment they made contact.

During this process, the Angel's body size shrank rapidly, losing all traces in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Angel phantom appeared in Baitian's Consciousness Sea.

Baitian immediately controlled its consciousness to pounce, crazily biting the Angel phantom, and its mind swelled slightly as a large amount of chaotic knowledge inexplicably surged forth.

Not long after, Baitian completely devoured the Angel phantom.

It was also at this time that Baitian's appearance began to change, with two lumps bulging on both sides of its back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rip~

The lumps grew larger and larger, finally breaking through the skin and extending a pair of wings covered in snow-white feathers, faintly shimmering with radiance, giving one a holy feeling.

In this way, Baitian possessed three pairs of wings.

Apart from having an extra pair of wings, Baitian had almost no other changes, which made Li Zhangsheng breathe a sigh of relief; he was afraid that Baitian's face would turn into a human face and its cat paws into hands and feet, which would be too bizarre.

"Forget it, no fusion!"

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng did not take out the Bloodline Fusion Crystal; the Cang Cat Bloodline and the Angel Bloodline were very compatible, with excellent affinity, so there was no need for fusion.

Until this moment, the radiance enveloping Baitian quickly receded, revealing Baitian's petite figure.

Meow~

Just at this time, Heiye on Li Zhangsheng's shoulder could not help but let out a miserable cry, beginning to fall into a transformation identical to Baitian's, only the light was black.

Soon, two lumps also appeared on Heiye's back, which, after breaking, extended a pair of black wings.
