Chapter 624: Great Divinity (Bonus Chapter—Request Subscription)

Upon the Throne of Destruction.

A young boy with short black hair and a sharp demeanor rested his chin on one hand and idly tapped the armrest of the throne: "Come to think of it… the Cult of Killing was my dog? I nearly had my own avatar killed…"

"Whatever. Ignorance is no crime—I forgive them."

After all, those Cult of Killing followers constantly sacrifice parts of themselves; punishing them further seems pointless.

"This isn't my influence—it's Asta's old style… I'm not taking the blame."

Fang Xing muttered, feeling the surging power of Destruction Godhood and his immense status.

He immediately realized he was far, far beyond his avatar.

Even if his avatar broke through to Legend status, to him it would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

"My Destruction Law and True Self Law are both still here…"

"The key is… the Pan Wu Great Dao is still intact!"

A thought struck him: "My Pan Wu Great Dao has reached minor completion; its power is untouched by any world's interference. Combined with the Gate of All Realms, which replaced Asta's fate, does that mean my true self retained most of its power?"

Law power is restricted by the world!

But Great Dao is not!

This is the fundamental difference between true self and avatar.

More importantly, when my cultivation avatar was a Space-Time True Immortal, it directly entered extinction to shed all traces and marks, leaving only a single fragment of its soul to reincarnate—it never carried any power to begin with.

Moreover, his Space-Time Great Dao had not even reached minor completion!

Even that attribute panel was just a cheat I made myself—nowhere near as powerful as my true self's cheat.

"Attribute Panel!"

Thinking of this, Fang Xing immediately summoned his true self's cheat:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Occupation: Star Warrior / God of Destruction / God of Truth???】

【Thirteenth Realm: Law Lord (Fifth Tier)】

【Pan Wu Scripture: 11246/40000 (Master）】

【Pan Wu Great Dao: 11246/40000 (Master）】

【Heart Power: 479/10000 (Proficient）】

【Space-Time Imperishable Sun King Spell: 1888/2000 (Proficient）】

【Gate of All Realms (Charging）】

……

"The power of the Pan Wu Great Dao has leveled up again—could this world, as I previously defined, accelerate advancement toward the Fourteenth Realm's Dao Lord?"

"Oh? I seem to have gained a new divine occupation?"

As Fang Xing focused his awareness on the divine occupation symbol.

BOOM!

He sensed his perfected Destruction Law and True Self Law coalescing into two divine offices, orbiting his divine core.

Within the divine core, divine fire burned fiercely.

Through the threads of faith connected to those flames, he could easily cast his gaze toward the mortal realm—to places where his believers dwelled, prayed, or offered sacrifices.

Only the land beyond the world seemed shrouded in mist; occasionally, he could hear prayers, but they were intermittent, like a radio or TV with poor signal…

Fang Xing sensed that the thickest thread of faith connected to a "Half-God."

That must be his strongest mortal enforcer—the Cult Leader, Half-God · Corpse Liberation Immortal.

"Hmm? Wait… there's another thread too—one belonging to the God of Truth…"

Asta was smart enough to know aliases mattered; he'd long prepared a "God of Truth" alias.

Of course, the Zhou Shenchao believed it was merely a false god.

He shifted his thoughts.

Somewhere in the Zhou Shenchao.

Inside a pitch-black cave.

The symbol of the Great Destroyer began to glow.

"Hm?"

A tall, gaunt figure wrapped in a black robe, only his eyes visible, arrived and immediately knelt to pray: "My Lord Asta, you are the God of Destruction and Ruin, sovereign of the Dark Divine Realm, illuminate my soul… May your Dao flourish upon the earth, as it does in heaven…"

He had performed this prayer countless times.

But for a hundred years, the God of Destruction had remained silent—no response to his faithful.

Yet this time, everything was different.

"I know…"

No sooner had the tall figure finished praying than his vision blurred.

As a Half-God, he seemed to glimpse the "Dark Divine Realm," the "Realm of Destruction," far above, separated from all other divine realms.

He saw the ruined palace, the Throne of Destruction… and the indescribably majestic figure seated upon it.

The figure was hazy, yet a distant voice echoed down: "I know…"

"My Lord… you have finally awakened."

The Cult Leader wept uncontrollably…

……

"As for those who worship the 'True Demon Lord,' I'll need to space things out…"

"Otherwise, if the church's high-ups notice both avatars awaken simultaneously, my dual identities will be exposed."

Fang Xing briefly checked the status of the True Demon Lord's followers. Unlike the Cult of Killing, worshippers of the "Demon Lord" were scattered like rats across the Zhou Shenchao, hiding and fleeing.

Though their lives were worse than the Cult of Killing's, they drew far less attention.

Even after the Demon Lord fell into slumber, their influence waned—but they could still remain hidden within the Zhou Shenchao.

A few more years, even a decade or two, wouldn't matter.

"One is conventional warfare, the other guerrilla tactics…"

"These gods may know nothing else, but they're clever about faith—never putting all eggs in one basket."

After roughly tallying his assets, Fang Xing couldn't help but give Asta a mental thumbs-up.

Divine beings in this world lived quite comfortably.

Once successfully deified and their divine realm raised, even the weakest god was immune to attacks from the strongest!

Moreover, once becoming a True God, one gains infinite lifespan.

Their only fear? Losing all believers—no one left to chant their name, forgotten by the world.

Then, no matter how much divine power they hoard, if it flows out and never returns, it will slowly drain until the god perishes.

Every single detail checks out!

After spending time reviewing all locations, Fang Xing felt at ease.

"Confirmed: my true self is secure… Even when I slept, external gods dared not attack the Realm of Destruction, fearing they'd wake Asta…"

"Now that I've awakened, I have even less to fear…"

"But the origins of these True Gods are suspicious… Did they migrate from other worlds?"

"Then perhaps the ancient Dao traditions are the true orthodoxy of this world?"

"Does the land beyond the world carry the heavenly mandate to counterattack the Zhou Shenchao?"

"Yet for powerful gods, defying fate is routine…"

"Some gods perish under fate's backlash; others cleverly defy fate without paying much of a price…"

Fang Xing smiled, and a golden cup materialized in his hand.

Inside the cup appeared fine wine—treasure from his divine realm.

He took a sip and began planning his next steps: "Previously, I used the Gate of All Realms mainly to escape the fate locked onto me by the Transcenders…"

"In this world, I must fully digest this inheritance… besides that, I must strive to elevate myself, achieve Dao Lord status, even become an Eternal Being…"

"If I transcend now, I won't have to fear any Transcender."

"The Gate of All Realms sent me to this strange world—it must benefit me greatly."

As a newly awakened deity, Fang Xing did not immediately issue divine edicts or make grand moves.

Three years silent, then one cry shocks the world!

He needed to lie low first, familiarize himself with all he now controlled.

And most importantly—that transcendence inheritance.

BOOM!

A black broken horn appeared in Fang Xing's hand; as divine fire scorched it, more information surfaced.

Most of it consisted of insights into nature and the continuation of the Druid path.

"Hmm?"

"That Transcender—the God of Gods… was he once a god? A Druid God?"

Under the divine fire's burn, vast amounts of information surged from the black horn, processed and analyzed by Fang Xing's god-tier mind…

He was lucky—this portion of the inheritance detailed how to transcend and how to condense transcendence traits.

"To transcend, one must first become Eternal—reduce oneself to achieve emptiness, then condense a transcendence trait and make the ultimate leap!"

"This transcendence inheritance contains three transcendence traits—Supernatural Divine Power, Transcendent Divine Core, Great Divinity!"

"If one could simultaneously condense these three 'Transcendence Traits,' even with their astonishing binding force, achieving Transcendence would not be effortless—but the chances would be greatly increased!"

Fang Xing's eyes flickered.

Transcendence Traits!

He already possessed a prototype of one on his person: that unextinguished Great Sun, originating from the Eternal Sun King Spell.

In addition, atop his attribute panel lay a single drop of a Transcendent's blood, which he could use to condense a 'Transcendent Bloodline'—another Transcendence Trait.

If that still wasn't enough, he could travel to the True Immortal Realm, learn from the Dao Lords, and condense 'Hong Meng Purple Qi,' an even more mysterious force.

At this moment, three more suddenly appeared!

"To achieve Transcendence, Transcendence Traits are always better in greater number. Each additional one increases the chance of success."

Fang Xing silently pondered:

"The three Transcendence Traits in this legacy are all tied to the path of Faith and Divine Enthronement. Yet even the chief deity of the Zhou Shenchao Pantheon likely hasn't condensed any single Transcendence Trait..."

The so-called 'Supernatural Divine Power' is far beyond any ordinary divine force—Fang Xing's current Destruction Divine Power is nowhere near sufficient.

And the 'Transcendent Divine Authority' is certainly not an ordinary rank.

"Speaking of which, my avatar has already condensed a trace of 'Natural Divinity,' placing it on the path toward Great Divinity. But if quantified numerically, my avatar currently has only 1 point of Divinity; ordinary demigods have 3 to 5 points, the weakest true gods have around 10, while I myself possess roughly 20... the War God has 25, and the Zhou Shenchao Pantheon's chief deity, 'God of Imperial Rule and Kingship,' reaches at most 30 or more... yet Great Divinity requires at least 100 points!"

"Divine elevation of followers also has tiers: ordinary divine favors only consume Divine Power, but to elevate a demigod, one must expend one's own Divinity... and if enshrining a new god, one's Divine Authority might even drop, requiring the splitting of divine domains..."

"My current divine domains are only 'Destruction' and 'Truth'..."
