Chapter 179: One Day True God (Part 1)

Xisi didn't react.

Only after quickly digesting the meaning of the Divine Emperor's words did he suddenly look toward the Golden Throne.

The Divine Emperor remained gaunt and rigid, yet not only did the fatigue that pressed on Xisi's shoulder, making him involuntarily bend, disappear.

The brilliant Divine Light on the Golden Throne kept flashing, not only illuminating the surrounding dark void, but also causing the faint, mournful wail to vanish without a trace.

Then......

Having been tightly nurtured by the Divine Emperor for a long time, Xisi suddenly widened his eyes!

Endless divine power, with virtually no loss or interference, was bestowed upon Xisi in its purest state.

Hundredfold Amplification, Hundredfold spiritual energy, divine power nurturing.

On such a foundation, what the Divine Emperor bestowed was no longer a Blessing, but in the true sense transferred the divine power that had been bearing on him for ten thousand years from his own shoulder to Xisi's shoulder.

Then, accompanied by the Divine Emperor's extremely relaxed exhalation, Xisi's flesh immediately began to crumble!

What is merely exhausting, torturous divine power for the Divine Emperor becomes, on Xisi, a constant desire to take his life.

"One day, just one day."

"Let me ease up, and you can also experience what it's like to be a god."

At this moment, the Divine Emperor even spoke more, while Xisi, his eyes widened to only golden lightning, clenched his teeth to endure, and frantically channeled divine power to repair his damaged body.

But the more he channeled, the faster his body deteriorated; at this rate, Xisi could at most survive one day.

"Huangpizi, your timing is surprisingly accurate!"

Endless torment and excruciating pain made Xisi's body hunch, and in his haste he clenched his teeth and blurted out a different name.

But at this moment, the Divine Emperor, finally granted a day's leave, wouldn't care about his most devoted junior's small 'joke'.

Kiriman? Lai'ang Zhuangsen?

These two who mess with the Second Empire—could they let themselves take a holiday every now and then?!

The Divine Emperor fell silent, and only after Xisi barely regained control of his divine power did he clench his teeth, glance wordlessly at the Divine Emperor above, and turn directly toward the exit.

Before turning, Xisi's face turned ashen, and he forced himself to endure the agony, gritting his teeth:

"One day!"

"One day, conquer Terran!"

Xisi spoke as he walked toward the great gate, but the searing pain in his flesh meant that even a step would cause additional injury.

After taking a step, Xisi watched his right leg disintegrate the instant it touched the ground; he could only simultaneously summon divine power to repair, inhale deeply, and launch his body into midair.

He didn't even push the gate; when Xisi flew to it, the doors automatically swung open to both sides.

Only when Xisi was about to leave the Golden Throne did the Divine Emperor finally muster the courage to remind him once more.

"Although I don't know what the ancient artifact is or what it's for."

"But at least when Abadon arrives in Terra, what he will see is you in divine form."

That counts as some consolation.

Unable to go up and slap the Divine Emperor twice, Xisi could only, amid the torment of his body constantly shattering and reconstituting, think of the incoming Abadon and curl his lip.

The great gate closed again.

The originally dark, towering Dadian, once Xisi emerged, was instantly illuminated as if it were broad daylight.

Xisi opened his golden lightning eyes, scanned the area, and found the long-waiting Tu Lazen, who was completely stunned, his knees dropping straight to the ground.

"Divine... Divine Emperor?!"

Tu Lazen realized that the Divine Emperor had finally found an entity that could transfer shoulder-borne divine power to another without possession.

He had thought this would be the Divine Emperor possessing Xisi, finally leaving the Golden Throne!

The thought of the Divine Emperor finally standing up from the toilet made even Tu Lazen lose all composure.

Kneeling on both knees wasn't respect; it was, damn, sheer terror!

Xisi, hearing the words 'Divine Emperor', glared at Tu Lazen in irritation.

"It's me!"

"Huangpizi is on leave today!"

Tu Lazen's already stunned face instantly tightened to the extreme.

Then, whether his brain short-circuited or he just couldn't react, he subconsciously stared at Xisi.

"You're the Divine Emperor?!"

Hearing that, Xisi grew even more irritated, glanced at Tu Lazen, then propelled divine power outward from the palace, and while passing Tu Lazen, casually lifted him along.

Only when they were midair did Tu Lazen realize that Xisi was still Xisi, merely having received the Divine Emperor's full power in Terra.

But then, Tu Lazen suddenly recalled another term from Xisi's words.

"Huangpizi"?!!!?

Tu Lazen stared blankly at the irritated Xisi above, and although he didn't know what Huangpizi was, seeing Xisi clench his teeth and the hurried door closing behind, fearing the Divine Emperor confronting Xisi, Tu Lazen also realized that the 'Divine Emperor' before him used a less respectful, friendly nickname to address the Emperor.

Of course, if it were just that, it would be fine; after all, possessing such power, a few jokes are nothing.

But seeing the Emperor's reaction behind, it seemed there was indeed a guilty conscience!

After the Emperor shed his divine power, at that moment he actually 'personified'!

And Xisi, wielding endless divine power, as his flesh continuously shattered and repaired, grew increasingly cold and violent in expression!

Tu Lazen saw this clearly, his gaze vacant as he stared blankly.

He didn't know why, but a never-before-conceived path for a human to ascend to godhood flashed through his mind like lightning.

Xisi at this moment couldn't even bother with Tu Lazen's baffling thoughts.

He only wanted to end the battle quickly, to end this painful torment.

Thus, when Xisi sped out of the palace at extreme speed, the Terran insect swarm that had been fiercely assaulting humanity, along with all humans, instantly turned their gaze to the golden sun rising rapidly in the night sky.

First came the Battle Nun, then the State Church Priest, and finally a large number of Astarte and mortal soldiers.

These Empire loyalists, upon seeing the blazing sun, instantly knelt on the ground, and, moved to the extreme, continuously offered devout prayers to Xisi.

A massive wave of fanatical Faith Power was transferred to the Divine Emperor, and then the Divine Emperor, in one go, flung it onto Xisi.

Feeling the torment and a step higher, Xisi could only grit his teeth and remain speechless:

"Stop praying, damn it!"

"I'm not a god!"

Xisi gritted his teeth and spoke, causing the State Church Priest and Battle Nun below to stare in surprise, and then, hearing this familiar line, the State Church Priest frantically nodded in agreement while worshipping even more fervently.

"Yes, yes, you are not a god!"

Seeing the priest even begin to set up an incense altar, Xisi was so enraged he almost fell from the sky.

What made Xisi even more desperate was that his own hesitant, merely shocked Bai Shou Legion also realized that the one ascending at this moment was not the False Emperor, but Xisi.

Their speed of kneeling and worshiping was faster than the damn National Church!

Especially that group of devout Huaiyan, who were mesmerized watching the truly ascended Xisi, after a brief silence, their eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins!

Then a group of Huaiyan all transformed into Xisi Missionaries, brandishing the freshly minted Xisi Bible, crazily spreading doctrine to every being around.

Yes, every existence.

Including the bewildered Tairen War Beast standing still, glancing at distant Xisi one moment, then at the nearby Huaiyan the next, its eyes full of "Is this right?"

"No..."

"Do I, a Tairen, also have to believe?!"
