Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Crisis, Give Me Some Respect
Feeling the power within him swell manifold due to leveling up 30 times, Li Jing was overwhelmed with emotions.
The Heavenly Saint Land, a place within human civilization.
And just like on Blue Star, the world here was dominated by humans.
When he entered, he didn’t hold much hope for any significant gains.
Unexpectedly, this Heavenly Saint Land turned out to be a treasure trove, and before he knew it, he had crossed from the late stage of the Seventh Realm to the late stage of the Ninth Realm.
If he could level up a dozen or so more times, he would step into the threshold of the Tenth Realm.
The trip to the Heavenly Saint Land was definitely worthwhile.
After "harvesting" in the God’s Tomb, Li Jing felt like he was back to his old days, leveling up by mowing down enemies.
After he entered the late stage of the Eighth Realm, the rules of leveling up changed, and he thought it would be difficult to level up rapidly by "harvesting" anymore.
He didn’t expect to find such a "treasure trove" in the God’s Tomb.
Harvesting this round was very satisfying.
However, after this battle, the "newbie period" following the change in leveling rules had completely passed.
Prey containing Essence Sources was hard to find.
But once he found a legitimate prey that could provide Essence Sources, he would obtain tens of thousands at least. If he was lucky, killing one would even let him level up two or three times.
That was the case before.
Now, he had to kill at least one Lower God to level up.
Such beings in their prime were not something he could deal with at the moment.
Even if he could, he could not find Lower Gods in their prime.
The next step was still to look for "green shoots" to harvest.
Turning to look at the entrance of the Main Tomb Hallway, Li Jing’s eyes held a glint of sharpness.
After harvesting all the green shoots, there were two big ones left inside.
He was not interested in the Saint.
Neither was he interested in the Lower God from the Supreme God’s faction.
That one hadn’t descended entirely, it was only a portion of his power that was dwelling in some unfortunate person’s body.
Unlike the former demon, who had a clone descend.
In such a situation, even if he were to kill that being, he would not be able to obtain any Essence Source.
Because what would vanish was only a portion of its power, not its main body or clone dying.
Pulling his gaze away from the inside of the Main Tomb Hallway, Li Jing gazed back.
Just at this moment.
Linglong, Qingfeng, and Smoke Eye all returned, their forms dissolving by his side.
After them, Wina also arrived through the Sky Control.
Watching Li Jing obliterate every enraged God Soul in the God’s Tomb in no time and remain standing there without even needing to catch his breath, her expression was indescribably complex.
The scene of him, like a doomsday demon, was deeply imprinted in her mind.
At this moment, facing Li Jing, she was somewhat apprehensive.
Li Jing, who at this time was glancing at her, seemed to be looking at her head with intentional or unintentional gazes.
That meant nothing.
Wina was very confident about her face.
But she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Li Jing wasn’t looking at her face but something else, as if she had the word "danger" hanging above her head, and felt as though she would be devoured at any moment.
"Let’s go, we’re going in."
The calm voice resonated.
Not knowing what emotion was concealed behind those words, the sensation of crisis enveloping Wina’s heart slowly dissipated, causing her to breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.
"Mm."
Giving her assent obediently, Wina followed Li Jing into the door.
The two of them walked through the Main Tomb Hallway one after the other, clearly feeling the spatial displacement. They halted simultaneously.
"Is the inside of the Main Tomb a separate subspace?"
Li Jing voiced his surprise and turned an inquiring gaze towards Wina.
As the Innate God of the Little Universe, Wina had the power of controlling space in her hands.
When she returns to the Supreme God Domain, spatial authority will no longer be the highest priority of the Supreme God.
The moment she stepped into the main tomb, there was an instant spatial displacement. Wina was much clearer about this than Li Jing, after all, in terms of reality realm, she was two levels higher than someone else.
In response to Li Jing’s words, she nodded slightly, and whispered in affirmation.
"Master, be careful, this is a bit weird."
?
Li Jing slowly typed a question mark.
"What’s weird about it?"
"The God’s Tomb is indeed very peculiar, but in theory, a main tomb that has only been born for tens of thousands of years should not have transformed into a subspace."
Wina explained.
"Normally, the main tomb of God’s Tomb should have transformed into a subspace, which would take at least a million years of accumulation. Moreover, I heard that such a transformation would inevitably accompany a forbidden result."
"Forbidden result?"
Li Jing frowned.
"I don’t know the specifics."
Wina shook her head.
"In the past, I was just a god’s servant, and I didn’t have the privilege to know these."
As she spoke, her gaze fell deep into the main tomb.
"Since the space inside this main tomb has already changed, the forbidden result may have already occurred. If we want to go deep, we should be more careful."
Hearing Wina’s words, Li Jing nodded.
He knew nothing about the God’s Tomb.
Wina didn’t know what the forbidden result of the inner spatial transformation of the main tomb would be, it was certainly right to be more cautious.
Just as he was about to say something, a figure stumbled from the distant inside of the main tomb and ran over.
Seeing this figure, both Li Jing and Wina frowned.
The one running towards them was Saint Alicia.
At this moment, her divine aura as a saint was nowhere to be seen.
Her face was full of fear, and her clothes were blood-stained.
As she ran, her posture was clumsy, and she stumbled from time to time.
At a glance, it was clear that she was extremely weak. She couldn’t even steady her footsteps, let alone conduct Sky Control.
Seeing this situation, Li Jing and Wina exchanged glances.
This woman and the others have just entered, and in just a short while, she has become so embarrassed?
What happened to her?
Where are the others?
Just as Li Jing and Wina were in doubt, Alicia, who was obviously panicked and fleeing, suddenly lost her footing and fell not far away.
Then she turned around in fear and shouted with a frightened look.
"Help me!"
Before the words fell, Alicia seemed to have been hit by an invisible force of terror. With a "puff", she instantly turned into a puddle of blood mud, as if she had been flattened by something.
Seeing this, Li Jing’s heart jumped.
Fuck!
What was that?
Wina was also shocked.
Alicia, as a saint, not only had a part of the power of the Goddess of Light in her body, but she was also blessed by the goddess.
The Goddess of Light, she held the authority over life.
As for those who were blessed by her.
Ordinarily, let alone being killed by someone else, it’s quite difficult for her to die even if she wanted to.
But at the moment, right before her eyes.
Alicia turned into a puddle of flesh...
She and Li Jing didn’t even know how the woman died.
While they were still in shock, a tall figure over three meters tall quietly appeared next to Alicia, who had become a puddle of flesh. It looked down for a moment and then looked straight over.
Seeing this figure, Li Jing was taken aback.
The figure was human-shaped, with twenty-four pairs of pitch-black wings on its back.
There was a Health Bar above the figure’s head.
The value displayed: 13611.
Tenth Realm.
Behind its Health Bar, there was an Essence Source display, the value indicated 172641.
Apart from the number of wings.
Based on its appearance, this figure resembled a Fallen Angel from the Supreme God Mythology.
However, compared to an angel.
It more like a still living High-rank War Worship God.
Yet, its Health Bar and Essence Source number didn’t even reach the level of a lower Main God.
Were the War Worship Gods resurrecting or what?
Li Jing was bewildered.
Surprised, Wina beside him spoke in a low voice.
"Master, this is a full-grown Innate God, and he has an Upper God Pattern inside him."
?
Li Jing slowly typed out a question mark.
Previous God’s Body?
Not only in full growth, but also having an Upper God Pattern?
This guy...
Doesn’t seem like it.
After all, the Health Bar value was clearly visible.
Despite being an Innate God having an Upper God Pattern, Wina at full strength does possess the strength of Twelfth Realm.
But if Wina said so, there must be a reason behind it.
So, the question arises.
Why would an Innate God appear in the Main Tomb of God’s Tomb?
Looking at its state, it was not much different from the War Worship God System Main God, but its physique and the color of the wings did not match, could it be that this God’s Tomb breeds new species of Gods after their extreme death?
Li Jing squinted his eyes.
Whether his speculation was accurate, he did not know.
But one thing was certain.
The tall figure in front of him was undoubtedly the "Taboo" that Wina mentioned earlier but did not explain in detail.
Just as he had this speculation, one after another, tall figures appeared next to the first figure.
Within a blink of an eye, over twenty had appeared.
All genders were represented, each having a Health Bar of around 13500, stepping on the threshold of the Tenth Realm.
Seeing this formation unexpectedly, the blood drained from Wina’s face.
Over twenty of them.
All were full-grown Innate Gods, with Upper God Patterns inside them.
That’s secondary.
Mainly, looking over with pairs of eyes, not a single one expressed goodwill.
More than twenty of the Tenth Realm!
Though could usually single-handedly take care of these former Gods with full force, she couldn’t use her full strength now.
Could Li Jing withstand it?
Probably not...
Remember.
All the figures that popped out in front of them were living Gods, not God Souls functioning purely out of instinct.
Facing this formation, Li Jing furrowed his eyebrows.
The Tenth Realm.
With his current strength, to fight head-on was not very difficult.
But when twenty or so of them appeared, it would probably result in a blunder.
What to do?
Retreat?
Seeing the opposing lineup, would they allow him and Wina to withdraw?
Damn it!
This was a bit tricky!
Li Jing’s mind raced, making a decision in an instant.
If they couldn’t retreat, then fight!
What was there to be afraid of?
So what if they were real Gods?
As long as they show their Health Bar, he dared to kill!
If worst came to worst, he would take Wina and hide in the Little Universe.
With a plan, Li Jing immediately spoke.
"Buy me five seconds."
Wina paused upon hearing his words.
Five seconds.
It was a very short time.
But now she could only exert the strength of the late stage of the Eighth Realm.
Facing over twenty of the Tenth Realm, asking her to buy five seconds was an impossible task.
However, since Li Jing had already said so, all she could do was try her best.
Li Jing could fully bring her into the Little Universe to avoid the sudden attack, but he didn’t do it.
Reason? Simple.
They came here to find the Supreme God Pattern.
Now, let alone the Supreme God Pattern, they hadn’t even seen a Lower God Pattern. Could they just up and leave?
Not only did Li Jing not want to leave but also Wina.
Damn it!
Let’s fight!
Wina gritted her teeth as the divine power surged around her.
At the same time.
Without delay, Li Jing raised his hand to form a seal.
The Forbidden Skill was activated.
Heaven and earth were moved.
Both their actions instantly touched the nerves of the over twenty Innate Gods on the other side.
With a human-like, ear-piercing shriek, the first Innate God moved and disappeared from its original place. It reappeared in front of them, punched straight towards Li Jing’s face.
The speed was indescribable.
Neither Li Jing nor Wina could see it clearly.
But Wina, who was in charge of buying time, was quick to act.
"Get lost!"
With an angry shout, she raised her hand and slapped.
The next second.
The space twisted, swallowing the Innate God who was about to attack Li Jing, and transported it out somewhere else.
Wina could not go all out and could not confront this Innate God directly, she could only cleverly dodge.
However, even if she solved the attack from this Innate God first with her space Authority, she only managed to buy one second.
In essence, she only solved one.
As she acted, the remaining twenty or more also moved.
In the blink of an eye.
More than twenty Innate Gods had closed in, with more than half targeting Wina directly.
Seeing this, Wina nearly burst into tears.
She couldn’t withstand the fists of so many Tenth Realm innate gods with her petite frame!
However, Wina was well aware of the saying that the brave would win when facing enemies on a narrow path.
And she understood her own position very clearly.
Her task was to buy Li Jing time to cast the Forbidden Skill.
She didn’t need too much time, just five seconds.
Ignoring all the attacks headed her way, Wina gritted her teeth, activated her spatial Authority, and warped the space around Li Jing.
The innate gods who had been assaulting Li Jing were instantly transported elsewhere, their attacks missing their target.
Seeing her tactic had successfully redirected the attacks, Wina tearfully thought to herself, ’Master, this is all I can do,’ and then she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the upcoming storm.
However, several seconds passed.
Yet, the storm never came.
And Li Jing’s Forbidden Skill did not complete either.
?
A question mark formed in her mind, and Wina cautiously opened her eyes.
Not far away.
The previously enraged primal gods, who had almost been bashing Li Jing and her to death, were pale-faced, trembling in unison.
???
Wina was completely puzzled, producing three question marks in her mind.
What’s going on...?
Did they change....?
Were they frightened by the lord’s potency?
Subconsciously, she turned her head.
Before her eyes, Li Jing was standing there, his hands restrained by a refined white-robed youth while trying to form a handprint for the Forbidden Skill.
This person...
When did he arrive...?
Why didn’t I have any feeling...?
Upon instinct, Wina quickly evaluated the young man.
The more she watched, the more something seemed off.
She realized, she couldn’t see through this youth despite her own Twelfth Realm background.
Li Jing, on the other hand, was a bit taken aback.
He was quite pleased with Wina’s performance.
Having Wina fearlessly fighting to buy him time, he would’ve been able to complete his God’s Hidden Truth.
However, just as he was about to succeed, the youth appeared.
That wasn’t the crux though.
The key point was that the youth who stopped him wasn’t someone anonymous, he was the Will of Heaven of the Heavenly Saint Land, whom he had met not long ago.
Why...?
Why did he come?
In response to Li Jing’s confused gaze, the Will of Heaven from the Heavenly Saint Land offered a subtle smile.
"Grant me a favor."
"..."
Li Jing was at a loss for words.
The Heavenly Dao was asking him for a favor.
Could he refuse?
Dare he refuse?
Li Jing silently nodded and discontinued the handprint he was forming.
In response, the Will of Heaven from the Heavenly Saint Land silently signaled his acknowledgment and turned his cold gaze towards the twenty-plus innate gods who had been trembling together.
"Get lost. It’s not your time yet."
Upon hearing this, the innate gods seemed as though they had received a great pardon, and collectively headed towards the depths of the Main Tomb.
They couldn’t have moved faster.
They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Witnessing the formerly pompous innate gods turning into cowards under the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven left Wina in disbelief. She couldn’t help but study him again.
Unexpectedly, she made eye contact with him just as she looked in his direction.
At the moment their eyes met.
Wina felt an epiphany in her heart and finally grasped the magnitude of the existence she was dealing with.
The Heavenly Dao...
At this revelation, she almost broke down. Her long legs began trembling involuntarily.
Even though she had been a six-winged angel, a God Servant, she had hardly ever met her main God.
As for the Supreme, she had never seen him. She had just heard stories about him.
And standing in front of her right now was a Will of Heaven!
Even the Supreme God would be considered insignificant in his presence!
The Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven, studying Wina, furrowed his eyebrows and glanced back to Li Jing.
"She... seems to be from the Supreme God Domain and yet has been affected by the laws of some other world, turning her into an innate god?"
Li Jing nodded in response.
"Indeed, it is as you said."
Receiving his affirmative response, the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven did not probe further but began speaking indifferently.
"Deceiving the Heavenly Dao is no small matter. This time I’ll turn a blind eye, but if this happens again..."
Before he could complete his sentence, Li Jing interjected.
"She is mine now; she won’t pose any harm to the Heavenly Saint Land."
The Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven showing up now was more detrimental than beneficial for him.
Foremost, this individual was clearly siding with those primal gods.
Protected by the Heavenly Dao, he wouldn’t dare kill them or continue exploring the Main Tomb.
If he can’t explore the Main Tomb, he has to find another way to get to Supreme God Pattern.
Therefore, he felt somewhat displeased with the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven, but it wasn’t extreme.
Li Jing wasn’t that rebellious.
The individual had directly mentioned "appease me" so he wasn’t going to irritate him further.
However, it was still not the time to let Wina leave the Heavenly Saint Land. He had to find some pieces of the Supreme God Pattern.
He had to stand firm on that.
Upon hearing Li Jing’s words, the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven paused briefly before asking in a perplexed tone,
"She is yours?"
Without waiting for a response, as though he had realized something, he softly remarked,
"So, you are already on this path."
Li Jing blinked his eyes and silently nodded in response.
The Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven had discerned what he meant by "she is mine."
The "path" he referred to was "Creation."
Since the truth had already been revealed, there was no point in concealing it any longer.
The Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven didn’t appear to hold any malice towards him.
Upon seeing Li Jing’s nod, the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wina who had been tensed throughout. He then asked,
"Do you plan to take her away later, or...?"
Upon hearing the question, Li Jing smirked.
This Heavenly Dao, who seemingly has a mind of its own and isn’t conforming to rules, shares a rather similar intention with him?
After lightly coughing, Li Jing began his response.
"The Big World cannot accommodate her, so there’s no use taking her with me. Later, she will return to the Supreme God Domain to shine for me. But before she departs, I need to find her a few pieces of the Supreme God Pattern."
Upon hearing Li Jing’s statement about Wina going to the Supreme God Domain to "shine for him," the Heavenly Saint’s Will of Heaven was visibly excited and then dismissively waved his hand.
Accordingly.
Seven rays of light shot out from the depths of the Main Tomb and landed in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Wina’s eyes nearly bulged out of her head.
The seven streaks of light that fell into the hand of the Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao were none other than the Supreme God Pattern.
Li Jing, too, was staring wide-eyed.
He knew of the grudge between the Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao and the Supreme God.
Because of this, he deliberately mentioned to Wina that the radiance of the Supreme God Domain required the Supreme God Pattern.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao was straightforward, procuring seven Supreme God Patterns within minutes.
On this side.
The Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao casually picked out six God Patterns and placed them in Li Jing’s hand.
"Theoretically speaking, I shouldn’t interfere in certain matters. But I’ve made an exception because I like your style. These six God Patterns are for you, and I have to keep the extra one. The War Worship God System Realm is not yet a part of the Heavenly Saint Land, it needs further integration, and that requires the pivotal role of a newly born God here. At the moment, the time is not ripe, and they still need a Supreme." After saying this, he disappeared as quietly as he came.
Li Jing blinked his eyes as he pocketed the six Supreme God Patterns and turned to Wina.
"Stop staring. Let’s go. You heard what the Heavenly Dao just said, we can’t continue. Luckily, we have already got the Supreme God Pattern, so this trip can be considered successful."
Before his words could fall, the scenery in front of Li Jing and Wina changed suddenly.
Before they could react, they found themselves in the sea area outside the Death Sea.
Not only them.
The large force on its way to God’s Tomb was also summoned to the sea area.
Needless to say.
This situation was caused by the Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao, who had "invited" everyone out of the War Worship God System Realm.
Apart from Li Jing and Wina, everyone else looked stupefied.
They didn’t know what had happened.
"Boom."
A rolling thunder sound echoed.
Including Li Jing and Wina, everyone instinctively turned their heads.
Before their eyes.
An terrifying storm had descended on the Death Sea, enveloping it entirely.
Obviously.
The War Worship God System Realm had been completely closed off.
The will of the Heavenly Dao did not wish anyone to enter anymore.
To prevent whom?
Li Jing was naturally among the list.
Without much thought, he pulled Wina into the Little Universe, handing her a Supreme God Pattern.
"Absorb this Supreme God Pattern, then return to the Supreme God Domain when you’re done."
At this moment, Wina was still a little dazed.
Obtaining the Supreme God Pattern had her utterly shocked.
There was nothing else.
But the key thing was that the experiences of this trip were beyond incredible.
She had seen a Heavenly Dao.
That’s not all.
That Heavenly Dao Will actually pleaded with her master to "save some face."
How much face does LI Jing have?
The most outrageous thing was.
With a few words, the Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao gave Li Jing six Supreme God Patterns.
This was absolutely outrageous!
How much effort did the Goddess of Night put into obtaining the Supreme God Patterns left in the War Worship God System Realm?
Not counting the sacrifice of her avatar, she even attracted two "starving wolves," the Goddess of Light and the Supreme God, to share a piece of the pie.
Li Jing casually obtained them...
Wina had seen many people with connections.
The Supreme God Domain is full of such people.
But the connections of Li Jing were a bit too powerful...
If witnessing Li Jing control the power of Heavenly Punishment convinced Wina.
At this moment, her admiration for Li Jing was like a continuous, unstoppable river.
Looking down at the Supreme God Pattern in her hand, Wina bit her red lips, gazed at Li Jing who was waiting for her response, and spoke softly.
"Master, Wina will never let you down."
"I’m looking forward to your performance."
Li Jing smiled and came to Qingyuan Holy Land with a movement of his thoughts.
At this time, Liu Sisi, Jiang Yini, and Ya’er were all meditating.
All three of them had begun to digest the Upper God Pattern, but they had just started.
Li Jing took out a Supreme God Pattern and placed it beside Jiang Yini.
As soon as the item was placed, a green light shot out, landing on his shoulder. Ling Ling revealed her form, and with a sweet voice, she asked.
"Li Jing, are you back?"
A corner of Li Jing’s mouth twitched at her words.
This little one was quite sharp.
She actually found her way here...
Li Jing shook his head with a laugh, took out a Supreme God Pattern, and handed it over.
"Here, like I promised."
Upon seeing the Supreme God Pattern, Ling Ling’s eyes lit up. She embraced it and took a large bite.
That bite made Li Jing’s eye twitch.
Despite knowing in advance Ling Ling’s strong teeth, she is chewing on a Supreme God Pattern now, which can create a Supreme Being.
His heart ached a bit.
But since he had promised, he gave it to her.
After all, this harvest was even more than he had anticipated.
Looking at the light cocoon where Longxu was, Li Jing asked.
"How much longer before Longxu wakes up?"
"His progress is quite smooth, but it will take at least another month."
Ling Ling replied.
A month?
Li Jing frowned and glanced at Jiang Yini and Liu Sisi.
He was about to speak when Ling Ling cut in.
"Your wife and this close female friend of yours will need more time, at least two or three months. A Supreme Being is not the same as an ordinary god. Besides, the process of becoming a Supreme Being involves the reconstruction of the physical body. Wina is an Innate Goddess, so she will need less time, about twenty days."
"..."
Li Jing.
Judging from the time it took Longxu to finish, he had guessed that absorbing the Supreme God Pattern took a long time.
But he didn’t expect it would take that long.
Two or three months.
Doesn’t this mean that Liu Sisi has to "retreat" for a while?
As for Jiang Yini.
It seemed he had to give a heads up.
The mayor couldn’t be missing for two to three months.
Moreover, their journey in the Heavenly Saint Land was almost over.
There was still some time left, but there were no more places to go.
Li Jing had no plans to go to the Southern Barbarian Continent.
Calculating the time.
The Heavenly King Group that went to explore the Southern Barbarian Continent should be returning soon, so his trip there wouldn’t make much sense.
Exhaling lightly, Li Jing left the Little Universe.
...
