The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1224 - 467: God above God, Descends to the World

In New Era’s Second Epoch, year 2405.

Ye Hanjun had finished his bout of sparring with Mang Hao. Little GuaGua, hopping and bouncing around, had rushed to Goose Immortal’s head to heal its wounds.

It should have been just another ordinary day.

However, a strange restlessness deeply nestled over everyone’s heads.

It felt as though, on a clear day, invisible rain fell from the sky and the ground was unknowingly wetted.

Yet, when they looked up, the sun shone brightly in a cloudless sky, and there was no sign of the heavens weeping.

"What a suffocating sensation..."

"Is Super Spirituality giving warnings again? It’s intermittent, difficult to discern the source of danger..."

Ye Hanjun somberly sat down, fully armed, not daring to be careless.

Beside him, Mang Hao furrowed his brows, also feeling the peculiarity:

"Calculating the days, it’s about the two hundred years mentioned by Goddess Ba."

"Divinity is the key to deification, once it condenses, a phenomenon must occur."

"The potential dangers I can think of include, first, the Desert Wood Ant having been away for a long time. If it seizes this critical moment to come with its elders to demand an explanation, a groundbreaking brutal battle is inevitable."

"Second, the emergence of divinity can attract the coveting and raiding of the Nether Demigods."

"They definitely won’t dare advance directly, but as soon as the Fetus of God Sealing breaches Goddess Ba’s barrier, they’ll have an opportunity to win in chaos."

"After all, to become a god, staking life on a daring gamble is worth the risk for the vast universe to be won, or vanishing into oblivion as a beast. With both opportunity and danger coexisting, it’s worth a try."

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly, the chants, Morning Dew, Yang Qi, Lie Xinxin, Lieyang Mushoucong, who were scattered guarding the boundaries of Earth God Mountain, all abruptly turned towards the middle of the mountain.

There, a bundle of light shone out of nowhere, a dim gray as if harboring every dark color of the world.

Ye Hanjun’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively scanned his surroundings.

For two hundred years, since the Soul-Draining Wily Wood no longer plundered Earth God Mountain’s natural vitality, steadily, it had nurtured new life again.

Of course, a batch of lower-rank beings had also burrowed in from the outside world, slowly building anew ecological system.

At this moment, any ghost, zombie, and skeleton-type Fond Spirit remained stationary in place, not daring to move.

Most of them had no Spirit Wisdom.

But influenced by their bloodline, and looking towards where the beam of light ascended, either their souls trembled or their limbs weakened in complete panic.

"The Divine Blood in my body is assaulting my skin. That is Divinity! My opportunity has come!"

Mie Quan suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming, spirits greatly lifted:

"For long years, if not counting early deaths or other failures, any who were Half-Step Deities, upon obtaining Divinity, could transcend in an instant, becoming gods on the spot."

"The slowest ones, safely transitioning through tens of thousands of years, were also sufficient to ascend to godhood."

"I believe I won’t need an epoch that long, with Ancestor as a guide, following His steps isn’t like groping in the dark."

"Perhaps just a few hundred or a few thousand years, I could secure the revered title of the second Ancestor of the Hanba Clan!"

Mie Quan grinned, his expression bright and vibrant.

He stepped towards the source of the light, his face turning solemn.

Full of expectation, his wishes were about to be fulfilled.

If due to instability at this moment, his years of effort were to be wasted, it would undoubtedly be a huge joke.

"Boom!!"

The source of the light exploded, billowing dust soared, and sharp Qi Force turned into a tornado, wildly slicing through the touched rocks.

Mie Quan’s face changed, and he halted abruptly.

Faintly, he saw that crystal clear, dream-like divine object.

It floated alone in midair, the Netherworld powers within the gray mist interweaving and spiraling, the rot yet breeding life’s Law Ripples, rippling from a point, eventually spreading throughout Earth God Mountain.

—Nether Divinity!

Among the Known Factions of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there are only over twenty kinds!

Covering Necromancy, Nether Tao, Skeleton Tao, Corpse Tao, and Samsara Tao, "Underworld" has the most types, ranking parallel with the flourishing ecological systems of "Demon", "Savage", "Hell", and "Insect."

This was the first time Ye Hanjun truly saw Divinity.

With the death of the Light Witch God, directly Devoured by Father God, he hadn’t the chance to witness the fining of the Divinity.

With the death of the Jester Emperor, the Divinity was hidden inside the heart, and Cataclysmic Crow Master swallowed it all, likewise missing seeing pure, unadulterated Divinity manifest.

However, Ye Hanjun felt only shock and palpitations.

Why, why did Goddess Ba, who held that piece of Divinity in her palm, boil over with painful spiritual fluctuations?

Her soul seemed torn, her headless torso like a sieve.

The Law factor, possessing the utmost destructive power, corroded Her divine body, imposing unimaginable torment.

"Ah, ah, ah!!"

Goddess Ba suddenly clutched her broken neck, and the fierce scars there began bleeding once again.

Her blood was deep green, vibrant like water grass, reminiscent of grasslands, lakeside willows, and moss on stones, as vivid and enchanting as life itself.

Regrettably, on the brink of losing control due to pain, stomping on the ground, the mountain fracturing, Mie Quan dared not come closer, darting back in retreat.

"Ancestor, what’s wrong with you?"

"Ancestor, your condition doesn’t seem right, can you stop and adjust for a moment?"

"Ancestor..."

Buddha Song, Morning Dew, Yang Qi, and Shi Ju politely inquired one after another.

But Goddess Ba, as if deaf, continued to vent, smashing the mountain continuously collapsing, suddenly standing there again, limbs trembling, chest heaving violently.
