Chapter 397: God War Spread Secret Mission!

「Whoosh—」

Deep within the vast storm desert.

On a sand dune.

Ta Ke extended their palm, carefully feeling the violent wind that slipped through the gaps between their fingers.

Wind!

Like a spirit, it lightly and naturally wound around Ta Ke's fingers, producing almost no resistance.

And Ta Ke's towering, sturdy star-physique, a full 14 meters tall, also displayed considerable agility, a hazy storm aura.

Not long after!

「Whoo—」

Sharp wind howls quickly spread and blossomed over Ta Ke's body.

A pair of invisible storm wings condensed into shape behind Ta Ke, one circle larger than the outline of Ta Ke's steam feather blade.

As the storm wings appeared, even the blowing sand and wind automatically flowed around Ta Ke.

「Inhale… exhale…」

After a long while, the wind howls entwining Ta Ke's body gradually faded.

Even the storm wings vanished without a trace.

Opening the system interface, they looked at the system column.

Storm Wing (506 fragments): Level 90

Carefully examining the Chaos Divine Ability—Storm Wing, which already had 506 fragments.

Ta Ke's face showed a slight satisfied smile.

Here, in the eighth layer of the Chaos Storm Treasure Land, over two years have passed.

Ta Ke has accumulated a total of 12 Storm Wing Seeds.

Now, within the Barrier Layer Domain Small World that Ta Ke constructed, the daily output efficiency is 1.2 Divine Ability Fragments.

The height of these 506 fragments is already astonishing.

Ta Ke estimated that fully digesting a single Storm Wing Seed would at most yield a height of about 20 fragments.

Even if all 12 Storm Wing Seeds were completely digested, they might not reach a level of 200 points.

And by relying on the system, they built an ecosystem.

As time passed, Ta Ke could unlimitedly gather vast amounts of Chaos Storm Wing fragments.

The characteristic of sustainable development found its most perfect expression within the system.

「Others obtaining two or three seeds, having a height of around 40 or 50 points, is already quite good. 」

「My height of over 500 fragments is already a height that many Chao Shen Da Shi cannot reach, even if some of them have stayed here for decades or even centuries. 」

「Moreover—」

In their thoughts, Ta Ke lightly laughed.

「Over these past two years, I have collected all the Storm Wing Seeds born here, leaving others with nothing. 」

「The Chao Shen Da Shi of the Mo Lei·Shen Ting who compete with me for Storm Wing Seeds here all hate me thoroughly. 」

「Now, my 90th-level Divine Ability with over 500 fragments, even the formidable Upper Rank Chao Shen Da Shi may not be able to catch up to me. 」

In their thoughts, Ta Ke gazed toward the core region of the Chaos Storm Land—the Storm Eye!

「Let's give it a try! 」

As Ta Ke rose, a storm surged behind them, and the hazy Storm Wing instantly condensed.

Ta Ke's mountain‑heavy star‑physique shot forth like an arrow released from a bow.

About two or three hours later.

Ta Ke returned from the Storm Eye area.

「Even if I possess over 500 fragments, it's still impossible; the barrier resistance of the Chaos Storm Eye is extremely strong, making entry utterly impossible. 」

「Would it take 1,000 fragments, or perhaps 2,000, to get in? 」

「Or perhaps a higher level is needed? 」

Ta Ke shook their head.

「Once the fragment count is sufficient, just come back and try again. 」

「During the over two years of secluded cultivation here, my Storm Wing has preliminarily taken shape. 」

「Recently, Senior Luomosi told me that the legendary powerhouse 【Ge luo fu·Wo la si dun】 of the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Land has begun organizing a counteroffensive plan. 」

「There is even an attack plan for the Void Fortress Node. 」

「A counteroffensive is necessary, after all, merely taking hits is too passive. 」

「My Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship is approaching; only by making those Chao Shen Da Shi fear me will they dare not easily approach my Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship. 」

「First, contact Senior Luomosi to learn the details. 」

…………

Several days later.

Ta Ke proceeded along the Great Rift Area.

Ta Ke arrived at the Fourth Layer Defense Fortress Bastion Area.

Ta Ke had just arrived here when they saw the High Tower Energy Barrier Fortress Passage, with countless Advanced Transcendents continuously streaming out toward the frontline battlefield.

Banners stretched across the mountains, a stern and icy killing intent blew over them.

At the same time!

Astonishingly numerous insectoid priests, bringing a large number of insectoids also heading to the front line.

The aura of Chao Shen Da Shi far exceeding the previous number was either in the high tower, or in the fortress, or patrolling the sky.

When Ta Ke appeared, Ta Ke was immediately discovered by many Chao Shen Da Shi patrolling the sky.

Prior to this war fortress, the number of Chao Shen Da Shi was under about two hundred.

Now the number is at least around five or six hundred.

And this is only those who have released their aura; there are still many who have not released their aura.

That is, this Alumof sunken ship fortress currently also has a scale of slightly over a thousand Chao Shen Da Shi.

This is already an extremely exaggerated number.

"What... is going on?"

Faced with suddenly so many high-level transcendent beings and so many Chao Shen Da Shi.

Doubts welled up in Ta Ke's heart.

Carrying the doubts in Ta Ke's heart, Ta Ke had just arrived at the Ziyulan High Tower Defense Fortress.

"Ta Ke, you've finally come back."

Luomosi's voice came directly over, the tone full of surprise and joy.

"Come quickly to the high tower conference secret room; I have important matters to discuss with you."

……

Several minutes later.

Ziyulan Fortress, Luomosi's War High Tower Grand Hall.

"The Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council has entered the war!"

As soon as Luomosi spoke, it was quite a weighty piece of news.

Upon hearing this, Ta Ke's heart also gave a sudden jolt.

Just now, after Ta Ke saw the outside situation, Ta Ke sensed something was off.

Indeed, something major has happened.

Within the scope of human territory, the three top-tier spirit nations.

Three-Eyed God Holy Spirit Empire!

Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council!

Mo Lei·Shen Ting!

Each faction oversees vast transcendent star domains; within the spirit nations, the scale of the transcendent world reaches millions.

All along, the Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council has been an existence in the neutral camp.

Ta Ke also did not expect this.

The Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council actually would participate in this divine war.

You should know that there have been many divine wars before.

The Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council has always been a neutral existence.

"Within the past ten thousand years, this Demigod Ancient Land has remained in a neutral state; this time it suddenly joined the war, this..."

Ta Ke looked toward Luomo, Ta Ke's eyes revealing doubt and incomprehension.

Such a neutral power has persisted for tens of thousands of years.

Just like that, it suddenly changed.

Perhaps there is some hidden major event unknown to Ta Ke taking place here.

Luomosi pondered briefly before speaking.

"Although the news I received says that it is the Demigod Ancient Land, their spirits and the Legendary Council have heavily criticized Mo Lei·Shen Ting for collaborating with foreign evil gods, fratricide, unrepentant, without any scruples."

"Therefore, this is why they declared war on Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Foreign Gods Alliance."

"But this is only part of it."

Saying this, Luomosi's tone also became serious and stern.

"As far as I know, a few days ago, the strong ones of the Demigod Ancient Land clashed with Mo Lei·Shen Ting."

"Several demigod projections began fighting in the depths of the void, and the battle lasted several days."

"Afterward, the two forces completely tore apart their faces."

"Afterward, news came of the Demigod Ancient Land cooperating with the Three-Eyed God Holy Spirit Empire."

"What exactly caused the Demigod Ancient Land and Mo Lei·Shen Ting to erupt into fierce conflict, thereby dragging it into the war, we do not know."

"But Mo Lei·Shen Ting's practice of joining forces with foreign evil gods to attack humanity deserves death!"

"Now the Demigod Ancient Land has also joined the battlefield, and it happens to be able to help us fight those foreign evil gods that deserve death."

"When you came over, you also saw that the Demigod Ancient Land dispatched many Chao Shen Da Shi and war legions to assist us here."

As Luomosi explained, Ta Ke nodded slightly.

Originally, the Three-Eyed God and the Seven Gods, facing Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Foreign Gods Alliance, have been suppressed these years to the point of being unable to breathe.

The satellite nations of the Three-Eyed God have been destroyed, and countless heroic spirits have perished.

As for Alumof, it has furthermore been subjected to legendary assassins repeatedly infiltrating and assassinating large numbers of transcendent talents.

Nowadays, the Demigod Ancient Land has come to aid in time.

This can be considered as letting the Three-Eyed God and the Seven Gods catch a big breath.

Inside Alumof's Star God Nation, sneak attacks happen frequently—isn't it just because there aren't enough defensive legendary strong ones?

This time, the Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council has joined the war.

Whether it can turn the tide of war is uncertain.

But it can definitely completely reverse the previous declining trend.

This can keep someone as talented as Ta Ke, an extraordinary being, from being used merely to fill the front lines.

At the same time, the rear can be more stable.

"Ta Ke, the teacher previously contacted me and said you should go to the Alumofu Demigod World as soon as possible to receive a resource baptism, and then there will be a certain mission assigned to you."

"When I wanted to ask about the specific mission, the teacher said he would tell you privately, which shows it's a very important mission."

"I estimate it might be related to this cooperation between the Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council and our Three-Eyed God Holy Spirit State."

"After all, being able to change the rules that have stood for tens of thousands of years in the Demigod Ancient Land, and making the divine spirits and legendary powerhouses there willing to abandon their neutral status, is no small matter."

"I have already arranged the Heroic Spirit Altar for you; later you can just meet the teacher directly."

"Then thank you, Senior Luomos."

Ta Ke thanked him.

Tall Tower Heroic Spirit Altar.

After Ta Ke finished chanting the prayer incantation, he waited silently.

Luomos's earlier explanation had already made Ta Ke realize that the situation behind this was extraordinary.

The two major camps, in their divine spirit exchanges, openly broke their facades.

And the Demigod Ancient Land abandoned its neutrality that had lasted tens of thousands of years.

Behind this there must be a huge change capable of altering their will.

Unfortunately, Ta Ke's current strength is too weak.

He fundamentally lacks the qualifications to know exactly what changes have occurred.

Not long after.

Upon the Heroic Spirit Altar, the apparition of the Legendary Heroic Spirit Instructor Moerman appeared.

"Teacher!"

Ta Ke bowed in salute.

"Has Luomos told you the news that the Demigod Ancient Land is participating in the god war?"

"He already told me."

Ta Ke nodded in response.

"The scale of the war is going to be expanded further."

Yet the face of the Legendary Heroic Spirit Instructor Moerman showed an unprecedented solemnity.

Listening to the teacher's explanation, Ta Ke fell into thought.

"The future direction is not clear, and it may even draw in more forces."

"But the cooperation between the Demigod Ancient Land Holy Temple Council and our Three-Eyed God Holy Spirit State is definitely a good thing."

"But precisely for that reason, you must quickly enhance your own strength."

"I had wanted to urge you to go to the Alumofu Demigod World as soon as possible to receive the inheritance."

"However, Luomos said you went to the Chaos Storm Region to seek the Storm Wing, so I didn't have him urge you; how was your gain there?"

Moerman regarded Ta Ke and asked in a low voice.

"The gains were quite good!"

Ta Ke responded earnestly.

"It made up for my shortcomings in speed and agility."

Upon hearing this, Moerman's stern face showed a hint of a smile.

"The Storm Wing divine ability synergizes exceptionally well with the Solar Light Feather Blade."

"One can push your speed to the extreme, while the other can give your feather blade extreme destructive power."

"If that's the case, then you can no longer stay in the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site."

"You need to go to the Alumofu Demigod State to undergo one or two baptisms."

"Strive to raise your level to above 135 within two or three years, but not exceed the 140 threshold."

"Huh?"

Ta Ke frowned slightly and looked at Instructor Moerman.

"Teacher, why is that?"

After observing Ta Ke for a moment,

Moerman then spoke in a low, soothing voice.

"This contains extremely important confidential information; it's not suitable to discuss over the Heroic Spirit Altar."

"You need to know that an important mission will be entrusted to you!"

"Among the Heroic Spirits of the Alumofu Demigod World there are moles who might be eavesdropping on our communications."

"After you go to the Alumofu Demigod World, I will then discuss the details with you."

"The timing of your trip to the Alumofu Demigod World is up to you."

"Upon arriving at the Alumofu Demigod State, I will make the arrangements."

"Yes, teacher!"

As the Heroic Spirit Altar communication ended,

Ta Ke took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Under normal circumstances, the teacher would not be this solemn."

"Since the teacher said so, it must definitely be an important matter."

"I will handle the timing myself."

"This guy should be the Chao Shen Da Shi of the demigod ancient land; previously neutral, and now is a cooperating party of the Alulmov demi-god world."

Ta Ke nodded towards it in greeting.

Ai Sa Ke, meanwhile, grinned at Ta Ke.

An De Lie?

As Ai Sa Ke spoke,

Immediately, several of the Chao Shen Da Shi waiting here looked toward Ta Ke.

It seems that among them, someone knows the fame of "An De Lie".

After all, in the past few days, Ta Ke had killed quite a few Chao Shen Da Shi on the battlefield.

After a moment, they withdrew their gazes and quietly waited for the teleportation array to open.

Soon!

The light of the massive teleportation array condensed.

The ultra-long-distance world-transporting light beam pierced the fortress defenses and reached the starry firmament.

The entire world rumbled with a boom—

The Chao Shen Da Shi who had long been ready all entered it.

One by one, they turned into flowing starlight and swiftly vanished into the depths of the void.

"An De Lie junior, be careful—that gang will use the star net to capture us."

Just as Ta Ke entered it,

A voice transmission from Ai Sa Ke suddenly came from beside.

In response to Ai Sa Ke's kindness, Ta Ke nodded.

"You be careful too!"

Having said that, Ta Ke stepped into it.
