Central God Realm.
Holy light spilled across the empty temple.
Elders from the various God Courts had gathered in the council hall.
The elder of the Tribunal of God's Punishnt spoke in a deep voice, "Recently, anomalies have appeared in the Netherworld, Hell, and even the Tribunal of Sin in the divine realm, as well as in the Death Realm vortexes. There may be a hidden hand behind this."
Elder Dut said, "The cause of the Death Vortex outbreak has not yet been fully investigated. We noticed that soone intruded into the Source of Death area beneath the Death Vortex at the ti of the incident. The two guards protecting the Source of Death disappeared. This is definitely not a simple accident."
"Elder," soone stood and said, "I have so speculation. We observed that the prison riot occurred very close in ti to the Source of Death incident. This may be related to the Nether Emperor."
"The Nether Emperor...?"
The elder at the head of the table murmured, "We once had an agreent with the Nether Emperor. As long as we treated the Dark Clan well, he voluntarily sealed his own strength and allowed himself to be imprisoned. Why would sothing like this suddenly happen?"
"The Great Elder may not know," another elder continued. "At the ti of our agreent with the Nether Emperor, we agreed not to interfere with the Dark Clan's lives. However, for the stable operation of the Death Vortex, we had to move it out of the Netherworld. We even transferred the Dark Clan and completely sealed the Netherworld."
The elder paused, then added, "Even after moving the Dark Clan from the Netherworld, we tried our best to guarantee all their rights."
"During the prison riot, the Nether Emperor opposed us and temporarily shattered the prison barrier, causing a large number of prisoners to escape. Not long after, the undead vortex encountered problems. The two incidents are too coincidental."
The Great Elder asked, "Where is the Nether Emperor now?"
"He has been imprisoned by us."
"Did he say anything?"
"We have already renegotiated with the Nether Emperor. He made so unreasonable demands."
"What demands?"
"To lift the seal on the Netherworld, restore its freedom, and allow all the Dark Clan to return."
Everyone fell silent.
"Delusions!" Elder Dut snorted. "The God Clan would never agree to such conditions!"
"It seems the source of this matter originates from the Nether Emperor," another elder said.
The Great Elder thought for a mont and nodded. "Keep a close watch on the Nether Emperor. Do not allow him any further abnormal activity. Also, find out how he is controlling the Death Vortex and how he learned that the Netherworld was sealed."
"Yes, Elder!"
...
Fang Heng had no idea that the deaths of the two God Clan mbers had already been pinned on the Nether Emperor. After leaving the dinsional world, he imdiately returned to the Death Realm without pause.
The Death Vortex still flowed normally.
Souls drawn by the vortex slowly moved toward it until they were completely consud.
Compared with the Death Vortex he had seen earlier in the divine realm, the Death Vortex was much smaller.
The strength overflowing from the Death Vortex could not yet condense into the Source of Death. It could only supply the Death Realm Orb and complete the most basic cycle of the Death Realm.
Fang Heng raised his hand toward the altar beneath the vortex.
The temporarily stored Source of Death strength surged toward the Death Orb, which absorbed it and integrated it into the orb.
A ga hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Your necromancy (Super-God level) skill level 6.]
As expected!
The Source of Death could enhance necromancy.
And the speed was much faster than the slow diffusion in the Death Realm.
Unfortunately, his body could not store large amounts of the Source of Death.
He considered another approach: if he could repeatedly travel between the divine realm and here, manually transporting the Source of Death several tis, it would also be effective.
Fang Heng shook his head and dismissed the idea.
It was not feasible.
The divine realm was too dangerous. Last ti, if it had not been for the assistance of the Source of Death strength, it would not have been so easy to deal with the God Clan guards.
This ti was only luck, gaining a portion of the Source of Death. If he tried again, the God Clan's guards would certainly be stronger.
As the Death Orb's strength gradually increased, the high-altitude Death Vortex slowly condensed and expanded outward.
After securing the Death Realm, Fang Heng headed toward the Holy Realm again.
...
Holy Realm.
Aladdin and Lucius were busy with the temple reconstruction when their subordinates reported that Fang Heng had returned, startling them and giving them a strong sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, before they could recover, the subordinates reported that Fang Heng had gone to the God-given Orb temple.
Why was he going to the God-given Orb temple again?
Had this boy not given up on the God-given Orb yet?
The two Great Sages hurried to the temple to check.
Hadn't he gone to the dinsional world with the God King? How was he already back alone?
When they arrived at the God-given Orb temple, Dean, the Great Sage in charge of guarding the Orb, was standing in the outer plaza with a group of Holy Paladins, all in a battle-ready stance.
"How is it?"
Seeing Aladdin and Lucius arrive, Dean's expression grew serious. "I don't know. He just ca and said the God King has agreed to give him the orb, and then he stayed there."
"Uh..."
Aladdin was montarily speechless.
The God King had indeed said that before leaving, but everyone had pondered it a joke.
They did not believe anyone could fully control the God-given Orb.
Dean pointed upward. "He's there."
Everyone observed up in the direction Dean indicated.
Fang Heng hovered alone in midair, a short distance from the God-given Orb, his hands condensing in his palms, forming a constantly shifting special imprint.
Under the imprint's effect, the God-given Orb emitted intense ripples.
Visible holy ripples spread outward in circles, repeatedly striking the defensive barrier set within the inner layer of the temple.
Aladdin was secretly alard.
At such close range, he could still forcefully withstand the negative effects of the Orb's holy ripples.
Fang Heng's strength had grown since their last encounter.
At this mont, a ga hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player currently cannot fully control the God-given Orb.]
[Hint: The player currently must reach sacred study (God-level) (Maximum level) to trigger control of the Holy Orb.]
After the conversion of the Great Sage's bloodline, the requirents for controlling the God-given Orb had also changed. The player needed to max out God-level academic disciplines.
"Just a little more..."
Fang Heng glanced at the hint and murmured.
He was just short of reaching full God-level sacred study.
Fang Heng slowly shifted his gaze toward the Godly pillars standing around the temple's periphery.
The Godly pillars ford an alchemy defensive line, originally designed to handle the spread of the God-given Orb's strength. Their energy source ca from the Holy Faith of God.
He could directly absorb a large amount of faith power from them.
He did not know if it would be enough.
Whatever! He would try.
Fang Heng pondered and then looked down at Aladdin and the others who had just arrived, giving them a slight nod.
Very well...
Then he would borrow a little of your faith power.
He would return it when there was a chance.
He began absorbing imdiately.
