Chapter 299

"This is—" Shen Qinghuang pressed his hand to his chest, the shackles on his wrists clanking as they moved, making a clatter.

"Number 108! Still not coming out to work?" A cold voice echoed in.

Shen Qinghuang watched the flame mark jumping in his palm, slowly clenched his fist, "Is it A Li?"

"Still not getting out!"

The stone door was kicked open, and the grim-faced overseer whipped his lash toward Shen Qinghuang!

Shen Qinghuang "just in time" stood up, and the whip lashed at empty air.

The overseer coldly glanced at him, but didn't whip again, already heading to the next stone chamber.

Shen Qinghuang walked out and heard someone say, "We're all doomed."

"What's going on? These bastards are all acting like mad dogs..."

"Shh! I heard the Three Pure Xuan Maiden flew into a rage, ordering that the Three Pure stones must be gathered immediately!"

The miners' faces instantly turned gray; the nonstop overtime had already made life unbearable, and now they had to rush even more—who could endure this?

Shen Qinghuang also frowned, but his gaze turned toward the distant formation light; whether it was a coincidence or not, the summons he had just sensed from his bloodline came from that very light.

And before the formation light, a woman in flowing robes stood hovering in midair.

Her gorgeous, luxurious attire was only a small part of what caught the eye.

What truly made everyone bow at her feet was the halo above her head.

"Are the Three Pure stones still not enough?"

The indifferent inquiry was enough to make the kneelers below tremble.

"We will surely gather them right away! Please, Maiden, rest assured."

"Good, half an hour."

"Yes, Maiden!"

All the kneelers let out a sigh of relief.

"If we fail, we'll all be sent to the Land of Divine Punishment."

The Three Pure Xuan Maiden's even more indifferent voice made all the kneelers' hearts tremble with fear.

The Land of Divine Punishment hasn't been activated in many years!

And the Three Pure Xuan Maiden can actually reactivate it?

"Today, I must have Sheng Long Tian shut down."

"Yes, Maiden!"

The kneelers received the order and then began to whip the idle workers.

This day was destined to be a bloody, tearful day for the idle workers.

……

At the same time, in another unknown place.

Amidst rising clouds and mist, an old man walked out.

His appearance was exactly that of the Heavenly Star Ancestor, Jiang Yuan.

And the mountain range where he was instantly burst forth with extraordinary brilliance!

Almost in an instant—

"Spread the word, the Heavenly Pure Ancestor has left seclusion."

"Spread the word, the Heavenly Pure Ancestor has advanced."

"Spread the word, the Heavenly Pure Ancestor has deduced a future path for the divine race!"

"……"

The changes in both places are closely related to Shen Qingli's current actions.

But she herself doesn't realize that she has completely merged herself into the Shen ancestral land, and even into every Shen clansperson.

She once used the power of Shen Ting and the Four Seas, Eight Wastelands to evolve a hellish world.

Now, she scatters her divine soul, merging it with the Shen clans' land, transforming the Shen clanspeople, and coexisting with this heaven and earth and every clansperson...

The second level of the Divine Demon Transformation's profound principle: Realm.

Compared to the first level's heart demon, this level is obviously much easier for Shen Qingli.

After all, it's easy to comprehend the heart demon, but hard to dispel it; Shen Qingli's choice was to fuse the heart demon into her own Dao, turning in a perfect answer for the first level of the Divine Demon Transformation, so she instantly entered the Upper Immortal realm.

Now, she again relies on the second level's profound principle she vaguely sensed that day, deducing and merging it, seeking to refine the Shen ancestral land and clanspeople into her Realm!

Once successful.

As Jiu Li said.

She will become a god.

Not merely becoming a god in the Investiture realm like the Heavenly Heavy God King.

It is true godhood!

Like Tai Jin and the Grand Supreme Elder, they exist as primordial true gods.

"Wow~"

Jiu Li was already clapping its paws in delight.

It could sense that A Li and the Grand Supreme Elder were still somewhat different!

They rely on being born alongside the divine realm, catching a free ride, naturally becoming gods.

And A Li!

She actually made herself into a god on her own!

"So awesome~"

Jiu Li began to cheer.

Di Jin's gaze was also full of admiration.

The Queen Mother of the West exclaimed in surprise, 'Little, uh, the sovereign didn't take the godhood path you paved for her?'

'Hmm.' Di Jin naturally saw it; if she hadn't made today's attempt, according to the choice he had previously given her, when she fully merged with Shen Ting and the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, she would become a new god.

But she chose to try, so she stepped onto a path completely different from what he had envisioned.

Moreover, this path might be even better than the one he chose for her!

After all, Sheng Long Tian was born from fragments of the ancient continent; he could sense that a subtle qi had already merged into this place.

The Changshui Shen clan was originally the place closest to the Xuanti Continent, separated only by an ancient river region.

'I'm afraid there won't be enough time.'

The Queen Mother of the West could sense that the speed of the seal was accelerating?

'How could this be? It seems to be affected by the sovereign.'

The Queen Mother of the West really didn't understand; wasn't the seal already trending?

But the little sovereign wanted to refine the Shen clan's land; however, it was a sudden whim, and by rights it should have been unrelated.

'Yes.' Di Jin knew it in his heart.

Just from that nap earlier, he recalled some things again.

So, he once again gazed into the void, as if looking through the firmament and the divine realm toward some unknown place.

'Can we still make it in time?'

The Queen Mother of the West didn't ask about deeper matters; she just wanted to know whether Shen Qingli could succeed.

'Definitely can!'

The Jiu Li didn't even need to think!

'Our A Li is the best!'

The Jiu Li shouted while saying it!

'Master is the best!'

Jiu Ying refused to be outdone, cheering with a loudspeaker!

'Hum!'

The entire Changshui Shen clan actually began to tremble!

Pei Heng and Lin Musheng immediately stepped back, and then saw——

The space ahead of where they originally stood had already cracked open a fissure!

Below, the originally intact ground looked as if it had been split open by a broadsword and axe!

And that's not all...

Within the Shen clan, the Demon Monarch was 'invited' out.

Also, strongmen of the Jiangxia Huang clan were 'invited' out.

But some were sent in instead, and the constant coming and going made people dazzled!

'I'll give it a try.' Lin Musheng suddenly walked forward, attempting to enter the light circle.

However, his attempt was in vain; he simply couldn't get in! No matter how hard he tried, or meditated on his past experiences in the Shen clan's ancestral land, it was useless.

Lin Musheng stared in astonishment, 'Can she still distinguish?'

'Naturally.' Pei Heng's voice hoarse, 'She has already merged with this little world; those she does not accept cannot enter at all.'

'How is that possible, with so many people and such a huge area...'

'She has already become the god of this world; no, rather, she is an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao.'

Pei Heng never imagined that a twenty-something little girl could, before his very eyes, perform the feat of linking earth as a boundary, transforming directions into a world.

This is an ancient divine technique!

Only divine clans such as the descendants of Fuxi once possessed this ability.

Shen Qingli had already learned it herself; without any inheritance, she could do it.

How could a person become so monstrous!

'Such talent,'

Pei Heng closed his eyes, utterly unable to feel any more regret.

Who could have imagined that a person could reach this point?

This had already surpassed his knowledge...

People really cannot profit beyond their knowledge.

No, 'Old Dog Huang can...'

Pei Heng's face turned extremely grim! Without Old Dog Huang, he truly wouldn't regret a bit; the Fifth Divine Clan truly cannot be opposed by human strength! Yet Old Dog Huang actually steadfastly chose the Shen clan and gained Shen Qingli's favor.

'He surely doesn't know what the Fifth Divine Clan means, otherwise he wouldn't dare follow!' Lin Musheng didn't believe that even if Old Dog Huang knew, he would still act without hesitation.

One person might possibly do it, but they each have entire clans behind them, making it impossible to gamble! However——

Old Dog Huang knows, he's saying with hands on hips, 'I just knew, trust my virtuous niece, she's definitely right! What Fifth Divine Clan, their ancestors could only do this much.'

'You ah.' The Huang clan patriarch sighed deeply; when he saw the Fifth Clan and those evil things, he thought Old Dog Huang was risking his life this time.

This is nothing; having gained benefit, one must share hardships.

He had even prepared to mobilize people to come help……

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingli, who had already ascended, returned.

Upon returning, whatever Fifth Clan, whatever evil vines, all disappeared.

Now she still has to bring the entire Shen clan, along with these hangers-on, to ascend together!

"How wonderful." Old Ancestor Huang marveled.

"Hehe! No need to suffer heavenly thunder, just go up—so delightful!"

"Old Dog Huang is truly happy! It's just a pity he can't bring his little granddaughter along."

"But life, after all, has no perfect perfection."

"Just as he thought that, something actually happened."

"Crack!"

"The sound of the sealing barrier rang so loudly that everyone in Sheng Long Tian could hear it."

"Everyone froze for a moment!"

"Shen Qingli also opened her eyes, the light within the realm congealing."

"Almost at the same moment, in that nameless place——"

"Throw it in quickly!"

"The time is almost here!"

"Throw in all the Three Pure Stones!"

"An endless stream of Three Pure Stones was poured into the formation."

"The formation's light blazed brightly!"

"Shen Qinghuang, carrying the huge stone, frowned slightly, the feeling of his bloodline being summoned grew stronger."

"At that very moment——"

"Shen Kuo had already appeared at the barrier, his body radiating divine light, faintly conjuring the image of an ice-feather phoenix."

"It was not his innate essence, but rather the bloodline talent he possessed as the Seventh Son of the Shen Clan; he was using his bloodline power to connect with Shen Qingli."

"Not only did he come."

"Uncle Seven!"

"Shen Qingmo was the second to arrive."

"Shen Jing and the others arrived one after another."

"They all sensed the extraordinary bloodline-summoning power."

"Don't forget to bring me too!"

"Zhong Minglan followed."

"Shen Kuo looked at her, about to say she wasn't suitable, but——"

"Go ahead."

"As Zhong Minglan's words fell, the Little White on her shoulder instantly swelled, transforming into an ancient Responding Dragon!"

"Roar!"

"In the instant the platinum-colored ancient Dragon God erupted, it tore open the barrier that was about to close!"

"The next moment——"

"A Li!"

"Little White cried out!"

"Even Shen Qingli in Sheng Long Tian heard it!"

"And so……"
