Chapter 107: The Mark of a Main God‑Level Evil God! The Candidate to Inherit the Divine Seat!

Killing Ao Daila gave Qiongqi a massive amount of experience, and Lu Zheng also gained a lot.

Qiongqi directly jumped 25 levels from level 217, reaching level 242.

Lu Zheng is still capped by level restriction, stuck at level 200, still unable to see the attributes of gods above level 500.

After all, his True Eye can only see targets no higher than 300 levels above himself.

The fourth‑turn perfect level is still insufficient.

To truly contend with a god and have enough confidence, he must at least reach the fifth‑turn perfect, i. e., level 300.

Only then can he view the attribute values of targets below level 600.

And just as Lu Zheng had just slain Ao Daila, in an instant a powerful spiritual force locked onto him, making him feel the threat of death!

He did not hesitate, fully expended his mana and teleported.

A mighty power descended, and the newly obtained God‑level ferocious spirit puppet rushed forward.

The puppet shattered, Lu Zheng successfully arrived at the Evil God altar and teleported away!

On the Evil God altar of Spider God Island, Lu Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

Although the newly obtained God‑level ferocious spirit puppet was wasted, and he didn't even obtain a single divine fragment.

Yet being able to crawl back to life, he already felt grateful.

However, before he could relish it long, a line of notice appeared before his eyes.

【Notice! Because you killed the Lower Evil God Blood‑Silk Spider Demon Mother Empress Ao Daila, you have been marked by the Main God‑level Evil God "Shi Shen Ruchong Mu Huang" Shandra.】

【All insect‑type monsters now have a base hostility toward you increased to 90%; insect‑type monsters that fight you will receive the "Shi Shen Ruchong Mu Huang" blessing, gaining a 50% attribute boost, and when you enter any plane belonging to an insect‑type Evil God, there is a high chance of awakening that plane's Evil God to attack you!】

Main God‑level Evil God!? Shi Shen Ruchong Mu Huang! So it was actually the Main God who acted just now; no wonder a single strike from so far away instantly killed a Lower True God.

Damn! I've been marked again.

The last time I was marked by the Fire God Laban, and now I finally have the strength to battle a lower god.

And now I'm marked by the Main God.

I'll have to be extra careful when clearing the dungeon; who knows where an insect‑type Evil God might be lurking.

Not to mention the Main God, even a Mid God acting would make Lu Zheng think his survival odds are slim!

Even before acting he sensed that this so‑called "Insect Nest Plane" wasn't simple; now seeing it confirms it's terrifying.

At least one Main God‑level Evil God is inside, so that place is off‑limits to him.

Lu Zheng felt rather gloomy.

The good feeling of escaping death was ruined.

But he didn't stay down long; there were still things to do.

He had promised that after the mission he would go find Xuanyuan Wuji; there was no time to waste, and he didn't need rest anyway.

Lu Zheng set off immediately, using a teleportation array, plus his blink ability and the guidance of the Thief‑Heaven Rat, and quickly located Xuanyuan Wuji.

Xuanyuan Wuji is not a single person; he is accompanied by many people at sea.

Precisely because they were at sea, Lu Zheng had to exert great effort to find them.

Xue Feihua was also there; besides her, there were four others—Lu Zheng had seen one of them before, and although he hadn't met the other three in person, he had seen their photos.

Lu Zheng looked at their current information.

【Character: Wu Tuohai】

【Class: Thunder Cannon Master】

【Level: LV. 400 (672.67%)】

【Character: Qian Yunhe】

【Class: Child of the Forest】

【Level: LV. 400 (478.97%)】【Character: Lv Yan】

【Class: Explosive Mage】

【Level: LV. 400 (772.66%)}

【Character: Yu Zhiming】

【Class: Wind‑Wielder】

【Level: LV. 400 (543.43%)}

These four are among the Empire's top‑hundred saint‑level elites, all of whom Lu Zheng has seen in textbooks.

Lu Zheng had met Wu Tuohai not long ago when he was only level 393; relying on himself, it would be highly unlikely to jump to level 400 so quickly, especially with experience overflow nearly sevenfold.

The other three's situations appear similar to Wu Tuohai's.

Undoubtedly, all four only reached their current levels with the help of Xue Feihua and Xuanyuan Wuji.

Seeing Lu Zheng appear before them, Xuanyuan Wuji laughed heartily: "Ha! I knew you'd be fine! To slay a true god alone, that strength even I don't possess. Come, pick one, help decide who obtains a divine seat, you choose."

The four heard this and showed horrified expressions.

What did they hear?!

A student less than half a year out of the college entrance exam managed to slay a true god! Could this be a code? Xue Feihua then spoke:

"For the four of them: Yu Zhiming is to obtain the Lower God of Flight's divine seat, Lv Yan is to obtain the Lower God of Starlight Flame's divine seat, Qian Yunhe is to obtain the Mid God of Forest's divine seat, and Wu Tuohai is to obtain the Upper God of Thunder Punishment's divine seat.

Although not certain, from the overall judgment it seems the higher the divine seat rank, the harder the inheritance."

Lu Zheng asked back: "Have they started the divine seat inheritance assessment?"

Xuanyuan Wuji shook his head: "No. It's still unclear how similar each person's assessment criteria are; we're afraid some may immediately undergo divine‑realm condensation or combat tests, so we let them accumulate more experience before making a choice."

Lu Zheng looked at Wu Tuohai and said with a smile:

"Then I'll go with Senior Wu, we've already had a brief encounter."

Xuanyuan Wuji clapped his hands: "Good! Let's see who completes the divine seat inheritance first!"

Wu Tuohai laughed, "The hardest part for me here is that Lu Zheng takes the biggest loss; how can the War God still bully someone so young?"

"He may be young, but his strength definitely surpasses mine, since I lack the power to slay a lower‑tier True God, whereas he has it! Neither Xue Feihua nor I are confident we can help you complete the inheritance of the divine throne; now that Lu Zheng is here, it becomes very possible."

Xuanyuan Wuji said with a sigh.

When they heard him mention Lu Zheng's slaying of a lower‑tier True God again, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

In the past few days, Xue Feihua's displayed power has made them keenly realize how vast the gap is between the might of a True God and that of ordinary mortals beneath the deities.

And Lu Zheng, having just finished the fourth Job Change Quest, can already slay a deity!

Such talent, such ability—truly shocking to hear.

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Wu Tuohai's eyes gleamed as he looked at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng felt a shiver inside from the stare, quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior Wu, come with me; let's move to another place to level up."

On the way to find Xuanyuan Wuji, Lu Zheng was already pondering where to go next to level up.

Given the monster resources of this world at present, the level is far too low.

After tasting the feeling of slaying a True God and gaining over twenty levels, Lu Zheng decided that to quickly boost the power of his divine companion, so as to have enough strength for the next Job Change Quest, the only path is to continue hunting True Gods.

Murdering gods is the fastest way to gain experience and level up! Of the known planes that house deities, one is the Insect Nest Plane, which was just chased and escaped from, another is the Abyss Plane, and the third is the one Lu Zheng is heading to now.

Undead Plane!
