Chapter 133: Killing Him Counts as Earning Recognition, Right? Plane Fusion!

Calming his mind, Lu Zheng quickly regained his composure.

Possessing all the skills of the Qilin and the Baize, he would not be swayed by any emotion at this point.

The inflated notion that had momentarily arisen just now was instantly purged!

Next, the next trial began.

【Fifth Trial Content: Recognition of the True God】

【Description: The Death God King left behind a divine thought; obtain his recognition to pass the trial】

【Reward: Death Affinity +15%; Divine Skill: True Body of the Death God (Passive)】

As this trial prompt appeared, Lu Zheng sensed a powerful energy aura rapidly approaching!

He immediately looked toward the distance.

Under the effect of the passive skill 'True Eye,' all he saw was merely a name and a cluster of unknown symbols.

He hastily activated 'Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye,' consuming one billion points of mana to observe the target.

【Deity: Death God King (Remnant Thought)】

【Level: LV. 699 (Mid God)】

【HP: 6.95 billion / 6.95 billion】

【Mana: 1.5 billion / 1.5 billion】

【Strength: 2.5 million】

【Agility: 2.45 million】

【Spirit: 2.7 million】

【Constitution: 2.7 million】

【Skills: Hand of Death, Undead Calamity, Soul Scourge, Dark Sky Canopy, Blade of Death, Blossoming of the Other Shore Flower, Fusing Darkness, Death Summon, True Body of the Death God (Passive)】

Seeing that it was only level 699, Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It was merely a Mid God — even a Peak Mid God could be easily handled!

Even though the opponent had nearly seven billion HP, Lu Zheng felt that with his current strength, one-shotting it should not be a big problem.

But he did not do so.

He released Taotie and Qiongqi, letting them entangle with the Death God King's remnant thought first, while he himself activated the skills 'Seventy-Two Transformations' and 'Ditian Wanfa' to acquire the opponent's transformations and abilities.

Because he focused solely on the single target of the Death God King's remnant thought, he quickly mastered all of its various abilities.

The first thing Lu Zheng paid attention to was the reward for this trial.

【Skill: True Body of the Death God (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage below one billion points; physical damage reduction 20%, magic damage reduction 20%; after you die, enter Absolute Super Armor state within five minutes, HP and mana are restored, and HP is locked and cannot decrease; after Absolute Super Armor state ends, this skill becomes ineffective for ten days, and maximum HP is permanently reduced by half】

Truly worthy of being a Divine Skill!

Not only does it possess a powerful Super Armor effect, but it also grants one chance to revive.

Although the side effect is a permanent reduction of half of maximum HP, compared to truly dying once, this was obviously a very worthwhile trade!

Especially since this skill also granted him a Super Armor effect, Lu Zheng was quite satisfied with it.

With this Super Armor added, he now had 96.5% physical damage reduction and 92.5% magic damage reduction!

He was getting closer and closer to the effect of Absolute Super Armor.

Lu Zheng looked at the effects of the other Divine Skills.

The first four were obtained during the four trials, and of the remaining four skills, Fusing Darkness was already present in the equipment 【Dark Mask】 he had obtained — it was completely identical.

Only three remained for Lu Zheng to newly master.

【Skill: Blade of Death】

【Effect: Minimum cost of ten thousand mana points; condenses a blade of rules within the target's body using pure Power of Death, dealing a minimum of twenty thousand points of true damage at one hundred percent】

This skill looked unremarkable, but its effect of ignoring defense to deal absolute true damage was something none of the other skills Lu Zheng possessed could do.

Just the defense-ignoring trait alone was enough to call it a Divine Skill! 【Skill: Blossoming of the Other Shore Flower】

【Effect: Consumes ten million mana points; cast on any target to instantly convert half of the opponent's mana into Power of Death, dealing an equal amount of damage; or instantly convert half of the target's mana into life force, gaining an equal amount of healing】

Mana was usually a magnitude smaller than HP. The defining feature of this skill was not in its damage number; its greater use was directly consuming the target's mana.

Without mana, one could have all the skills in the world but be unable to use them — equivalent to being weakened by more than half!

Of course, its healing effect was also quite good.

For an individual with extremely fast mana recovery, this skill could be used to restore HP.

【Skill: Death Summon】

【Effect: Consumes a certain amount of mana to perform a Death Summon on a recently deceased target, transforming the target into an undead form such as a zombie, skeleton, or wraith, under your command】

Now this was the standard skill of a Death God! Making the dead rise again.

This was the true charm of a Death God's methods.

At this point, Lu Zheng had mastered all of the Death God skills.

He looked at the Death God King's remnant thought, which had already been beaten into Absolute Super Armor state, and chuckled:

"Looks like it's time to end this!"

The five minutes of Absolute Super Armor ended, and Lu Zheng directly condensed five billion mana points to unleash the skill, Five Thunderbolts Strike.

In an instant, five divine bolts condensed above the Death God King's remnant thought, merged together, and crashed down!

'Boom!'

HP instantly dropped to zero, and the Death God King's remnant thought vanished.

Lu Zheng suddenly thought of a problem.

The content of the fifth trial was to obtain the recognition of the Death God King's remnant thought, but now, he had wiped it out.

Could this still count as his approval?! Just as Lu Zheng was caught in doubt, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

【Ding! You have completed the fifth assessment content of the Death God King's divine throne inheritance assessment: Approval of a True God】

【Congratulations on obtaining the rewards: Death Affinity +15%; Divine Skill: True Body of the Death God (Passive)】

【Current Death Affinity: 145%】

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been rather worried about accidentally messing up the inheritance assessment.

Which would in turn lead to the Job Change Quest being impossible to complete.

His own level being stuck at three hundred was not a big deal; the key issue was that his divine pet's level would also be unable to continue rising.

This meant that the upper limit of his strength would be completely locked in place.

Fortunately, the assessment was completed.

Thinking about it now, this fifth assessment probably only required the God Assessment Participant to endure under the God King's remnant will's attacks for a certain period of time and thereby gain approval.

But who would have expected encountering a cheater like himself, who instantly obliterated the Death God King's remnant will.

Fortunately, this also counted as a form of approval!

Just as he was preparing to take on the sixth assessment, Yunlan Star was at this very moment undergoing a cataclysmic change.

Xue Feihua looked at the Divine Nation Plane of the Soul-Devouring Demon Ant Queen Mother, which had completely fused with Yunlan Star, her expression extremely grave.

The Soul-Devouring Demon Ant Queen Mother was merely a mere Lower Evil God within the Insect Nest Plane, nothing to worry about.

But a Divine Nation Plane completely fusing with Yunlan Star — this was a subversive change.

It directly broke through Yunlan Star's rule restrictions; the original maximum level cap of five hundred had now risen to 510.

Don't dismiss it as merely ten levels — it was already enough to allow Lower Gods to enter and unleash the power of Lower Gods!

And the fusion of a single Lower God's Divine Nation Plane had raised the level cap by ten levels.

One could imagine that as more Evil Gods fused their Divine Nation Planes into this world —

The final result would be —

Descent of the Gods!
