Chapter 1230: Chapter 978: Join Us!
So that was it, the arena itself was designed to protect the contestants from receiving fatal injuries.
The feeling was simply too great!
To be able to fight and obtain Divine Status was absolutely cool!
The loser just now had lost all his Divine Status, and the Divine Power within him had also reverted to Long Yi, turning him completely into an ordinary person now. Although the continuous magic missiles had temporarily confused him, they weren’t lethal. He was now sitting in the stands, his face still blank as if he hadn’t awoken from a dream yet. But in the next instant, he suddenly roared and leapt into the air, charging directly at Long Yi!
"That Divine Status is mine! Your Divine Status is mine too! They are all mine! Give them back to me!"
With his madness in speech and action, Long Yi, at this moment, didn’t know what to do. He forgot to ask that girl about the rules of this city. Could he just strike him down directly in retaliation?
Just then, a bolt of Divine Power-infused thunder struck from afar, reducing the man in mid-air directly to dust!
Long Yi looked at the person who made the move in surprise. He was a member of the God’s Association, young and handsome—though not as much as me, Long Yi added in his mind.
"A mere mortal daring to strike at a Divine Envoy is courting death," the young man said.
Long Yi immediately understood the rules here. Those with Divine Status were known as Divine Envoys and held a special status in this city. Once Divine Status was lost, one was just a mortal. Although Divine Envoys usually did not bully mortals, mortals absolutely should not provoke Divine Envoys.
This was the first time Long Yi had seen the effect of Divine Power on an ordinary person; the power of the magic enhanced by Divine Power was terrifyingly extreme. That was just a regular Thunderstrike spell, yet it had disintegrated a person completely!
Long Yi began to understand those who gathered here for Divine Status.
Divine Power was like a drug; once you had a taste, you would want more, and it was addictive.
Long Yi nodded his head in thanks, but the young man disdainfully curled his lip and walked away.
My goodness, quite the attitude. Long Yi felt amused, wondering whether being a newcomer made him so unwelcome.
Alright, Long Yi decided to revisit that guide and thoroughly inquire about all the rules of this city.
Ai Lin was having a relatively smooth journey because Silver Light was constantly by her side, speeding up her movements. According to the star map, the desolate planet ahead had tenfold Divine Status and had not moved at all; either there was a hermit there, or there were possibly ten Tetrahedrons congealed together.
Initially, those four tetrahedrons were enough to scare Long Yi, but now Ai Lin had already acquired a hundredfold Divine Status and was completely unafraid of the potential dangers. Moreover, Silver Light was with her.
However, when she landed on the planet, she found not just one but several groups eyeing those Divine Statuses.
Each group had about a dozen people, facing off on the plains. Where there should have been a village, there was now only ruins. In the middle of the groups stood a large tree with fruits at the top that, upon closer inspection, were Tetrahedrons!
Well, the world really is full of wonders, isn’t it?
The appearance of Ai Lin startled both groups, who were confronting each other when they suddenly stopped and watched as Ai Lin flew in from afar.
"Are you from the God’s Association or the Hand of God?" someone shouted from a distance.
"What are those?" Ai Lin asked, puzzled.
"A newbie?"
Immediately, a person to Ai Lin’s left shouted, "Newbie! Hurry to this side! They are members of the God’s Association who specifically hunt newbies like you, it’s dangerous to be near them!"
At the same time, a person from the opposite side shouted, "Newbie! Don’t be deceived! Those Hand of God guys are the real scoundrels! They want to lure you over to steal your Divine Status!"
Both sides immediately started to curse at each other, basically accusing the other of being incredibly dishonest and untrustworthy, while claiming their own side was truly worthy of one’s trust for life.
"I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about," Ai Lin said, tilting her head in confusion.
"You just need to know they are bastards, and we are the ones who will protect you!" both sides shouted almost simultaneously.
Such harmony.
"I guess I’ll pass, continue with what you’re doing, I’m leaving," Ai Lin giggled and turned to walk away. At that moment, several people from both sides flew out: "Newbie, we advise you to make a choice first. Otherwise, we really can’t let you just leave like this."
"Why can’t you let me leave?" Ai Lin asked, pretending to be confused.
At that moment, a member of God’s Association impatiently said, "Forget it, why waste time on a fool like you! Initially, seeing you were a woman, I wanted to lend you a hand, but it seems even if you were left outside, sooner or later, your Divine Status would be taken away by someone from Hand of God. Since that’s the case, why not just give it to me?"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and launched a magic missile.
"You think you can compete for the Divine Status?" As these words were uttered, someone from Hand of God also charged forward, launching a magic missile directly at the other.
Then, the two of them actually started fighting.
Seeing the two fighting, those who were just in a standoff also began to fight, while the newcomer Ai Lin stood there stupefied, watching them.
Each of them possessed a Divine Status, but initially, they all revealed only one Divine Status. When the opponent tried to suppress them with a higher multiple of Divine Status, they would release a higher multiple of their own. Once someone fell behind in the multiples of Divine Status, those nearby with higher multiples would immediately step in to replace them.
Soon, both sides had found their respective opponents and were almost evenly matched.
The highest multiple of Divine Status was merely twenty, while the lowest was three.
This was far below Ai Lin.
However, Ai Lin was not foolish enough to reveal all her Divine Status, because the total amount possessed by everyone else was greater than hers. She wouldn’t risk it without the assurance of a perfect outcome.
Evenly matched? That meant, placing a weight on any side of the scale would definitely cause a drastic change in balance.
Thinking of this, Ai Lin chuckled lightly, took a few steps forward, and her movement immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Everyone watched her nervously, unsure of what she was going to do.
"Newcomer! Join us! We will give you generous rewards! Look, the Divine Status on that tree will all be yours!" said someone from God’s Association.
"Nonsense! You were just attacking her, and now you want her to join you? Newcomer! As you have seen, they are just a bunch of unprincipled villains not worth joining. You should join us!" a person from Hand of God yelled.
"You make sense," Ai Lin said.
Then, dozens of magic missiles imbued with Divine Power flew out, knocking down the people from God’s Association instantly, wiping them out entirely. The dead left behind their Divine Status, which the members of Hand of God mostly took with great joy, and Ai Lin also received a threefold Divine Status. Although Ai Lin’s joining decisively tipped the scales, clearly her contribution wasn’t the highest, and the Divine Status from the tree was also distributed to her. Thus, she formally became a member of Hand of God.
This intriguing organization was something Long Yi would definitely partake in as well—that was Ai Lin’s current thought. If Long Yi was in Hand of God, things would definitely be intriguing, but if Long Yi was in God’s Association, then the situation would be even more interesting.
One wonders which organization Little Zi would choose?
At this moment, Little Zi had just counter-killed several people chasing her, extracting their Divine Status and souls. Under soul interrogation, she learned that these people hailed from God’s Association. Just a few days ago, she had also killed several members from Hand of God, which considerably surprised Little Zi. She hadn’t realized that there were so many people with Divine Status that they could form an association.
However, there was one thing Little Zi couldn’t understand.
Within these Tetrahedrons were Divine Envoys, one of the 99,999 Avatars of God, which also carried a part of God’s consciousness. Logically, this consciousness should influence people. But in reality, those people merely received Divine Status, without embracing God’s consciousness. Or perhaps, although they obtained Divine Status, God’s consciousness remained hidden within the Divine Status and did not affect anyone.
But Little Zi was different. Once the Divine Status merged with her, God’s consciousness began to reorganize on its own. As the magnitude of Divine Status increased, so did the consciousness. Fortunately, the Divine Status and consciousness were two separate entities. Little Zi gained the Divine Status, isolating the growing consciousness separately and forcibly making it dormant.
This was abnormal.
The prevalence of Divine Status in this world was highly abnormal, completely abnormal! If it really had always existed, the entire Plane should not have been silent; among them, there would surely be some who would boast about it.
That’s what Little Zi initially thought.
But later, after she killed two attackers who possessed Divine Status, she was surprised to find that whenever someone gained Divine Status, they would instinctively tend to hide it. Furthermore, as the multiples of gained Divine Status increased, this tendency to hide it also increased.
Thus, Little Zi decided to start with the Divine Status itself.
She separated a portion of her Divine Status and transferred it to one of her Avatars. As a fellow being of energy, she felt no influence from her Avatar. However, if there truly was any impact, it shouldn’t have been absent. Therefore, she decided to delve deeper, entering the interior of the Divine Status.
Theoretically, Divine Status was merely a proof of divinity but the fact that it could be divided like cake into many portions meant that it must be some form of material or energy.
Especially since it could perfectly merge with beings of pure energy like herself, Little Zi deduced that Divine Status must also be some form of energy, even though this energy form was yet to be understood by Long Yi, or even by Giant.
Little Zi decided to figure it out herself. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can visit m.qidian.com to read.)
