"Who would have thought, in this era, such a powerful Outer Heaven Demon could still rise!"
"Ed" gazed at Xu Yi, letting out a long, leisurely sigh, his pupils, filled with floating Holy Crosses, brimming with amazement.
"How should I address you? Jesus Christ? The True God of our times?" Xu Yi’s tone carried a hint of jest, without a trace of reverence for the True God.
He was no longer the weak human, becoming an "alien god" was just a matter of time.
After Ed sustained a heavy injury, Jesus was able to descend immediately, obviously because the "Holy Seed" had long been planted inside Ed.
The Holy Seed couldn’t be implanted in just a short time; it required a prolonged ritual.

That is to say, Ed had long been chosen as the medium for Jesus’s descent.
Although Ed might have accepted this fact, as his friend, Xu Yi still felt indignation.
"After this matter is resolved, I will return the body in its entirety and destroy the Holy Seed. I hereby make this sacred promise."
Jesus, possessing abilities like "mind reading," vaguely sensed Xu Yi’s thoughts and spoke softly.
Xu Yi looked at Jesus before him with suspicion. As the Holy Court’s True God, who regarded human life as trivial, when had he become so easy to talk to?
Even with his newfound strength, he still wasn’t a threat to Jesus, at least not yet.
"May I ask for your help?" Jesus said directly, with no intention to beat around the bush.
"Let’s hear it."
Xu Yi wasn’t surprised, nor did he immediately refuse. He was curious, what would a True God request?
"I would like you to enter the headquarters of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization and cause the Ancient God’s Brain to fall back into slumber," Jesus answered.
Xu Yi had not expected to become involved with the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, and what was this Ancient God’s Brain?
Jesus took the initiative to explain without Xu Yi having to ask, "The Ancient God’s Brain can be seen as Chronos’s Spiritual Sea of thoughts. As long as the Ancient God’s Brain is asleep, the Ancient God will continue to slumber."
"Chronos?"
For some reason, the moment he heard this name, Xu Yi felt an inexplicable chill.
Even Jesus, as strong as he was, revealed a touch of fear in his eyes when mentioning this name, piquing Xu Yi’s curiosity further.
"The Ancient God Chronos, He is the culprit behind the rise of the world’s sea level, the unrest of the Dark Creatures is also because of Him, and He has many other names, the creator of Twilight of the Gods, the ultimate Destroyer of Worlds..."
The more Jesus spoke, the heavier Xu Yi’s heart sank.
Any one of these titles could chill one’s blood, yet they were all concentrated on Chronos.
"Once Chronos awakens, the apocalypse program will surely initiate, reducing the world to nothingness," Jesus said gravely.
"Why seek me out?"
Xu Yi didn’t immediately refuse but asked instead.
If what Jesus said was true, he simply couldn’t stand by and do nothing. He understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.
In an apocalyptic event, no one could preserve themselves, especially when he had so many people he cared about.
"The vicinity of the Ancient God’s Brain has extremely intense radiation barriers. Not to mention humans, even gods would find it difficult to approach."
Jesus continued to explain, "My main body is suppressing Chronos; with just an incarnation, I can’t get deep into the Ancient God’s Brain. I have been looking for someone who can do this, until I detected your presence."
Xu Yi fell silent.
Jesus did not say more. Stretching out a finger, He lightly touched Xu Yi’s forehead and extracted a golden point of light. Under Jesus’s control, the light drifted toward Xu Yi.
Not feeling any threat from the light dot, Xu Yi didn’t interfere.
As the light merged into his body, he understood that it was Jesus making a promise with his Origin soul, proving there was no deceit. Even the system panel reflected corresponding prompts.
After much contemplation, Xu Yi finally agreed. He simply couldn’t refuse.
...
The vast forest surged in the wind like dark green waves, and a serpentine river flowed through it, the only path hidden beneath the dense canopy.
Standing high above, Xu Yi and Jesus looked out upon the forest, the image of ordinary woods, countless in America.
It was hard to imagine that the headquarters of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization would be in such a place.
However, Xu Yi noticed something peculiar. On their way, they encountered frenzied oddities, but this place seemed peaceful with the passage of time.
Abnormalities suggested something sinister; this place was clearly out of the ordinary.
Xu Yi and Jesus suddenly stopped, not because they didn’t want to proceed, but because they couldn’t. An invisible barrier lay ahead.
Jesus extended a finger to touch it, and a golden screen made of diamond-shaped cells emerged. Xu Yi could even sense the aura of Divine Authority on it.
The barrier was troublesome, but Jesus evidently came prepared. He pressed His hand on the barrier, a golden flame rising from His palm, melting a large hole in it.
"The rest is up to you," said Jesus, his voice filled with a sense of weakness, even the Holy Crosses in His pupils dimming. Stay connected with Freewebnovel
Breaking through the barrier had not been a simple task for Jesus’s incarnation.
"What you need to do is place this object at the center of the Ancient God’s Brain." Suddenly, a cup appeared in Jesus’s hand, all gold and adorned with peculiar reliefs.
As Xu Yi took the cup, he sensed an intense Divinity about it.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the legendary "Holy Grail," a true Divine Artifact.
