Rajesh turned his head, glanced at the other side of the city, nodded slightly, and then looked up at the falling Fifth Layer of Hell.
*
"Under normal circumstances, a mage’s Void Wings can only withstand the first four layers of Hell," Vishi said calmly. "Except in one situation."
Ash: "What situation?"
"Of course, it’s when another power helps him withstand the Fifth Layer of Hell," Vishi rolled her eyes at Ash.
Ash looked puzzled: "Could others intervene in the Promotion Ceremony?"
"When the Promotion Ceremony begins, the Path of Origin is already sealed inside and out. We can see it, but we can’t affect the inside of the Path of Origin at all," Vishi said. "Although others can’t help, he can create a helper."
"It’s not just mages who have wings."
Ash suddenly understood: "Technique Spirit? Or perhaps... a Divine Being?"
"This is the origin of the na Demigod."
Vishi continued: "Demigod has two anings. One is that after a mage ascends, their individual combat power is nearly that of a Divine Being; the other is that only mortals with a Divine Being might pass the Promotion Ceremony."
"However, aside from a few lucky individuals who can acquire a Divine Being on their own," Vishi glanced at Ash, "most mages hoping to gain a Divine Being have only one way—winning the favor of the Divine Lord and being granted a Divine Being."
"So you understand, don’t you? Unlike the first four layers, if you want to climb the Fifth Layer, your own strength is irrelevant. What matters is whether you’re willing to be the Divine Lord’s dog!"
Ash suddenly rembered sothing: "Demigod Angel..."
In fact, the na Demigod isn’t common; most people recognize the Five-winged Mages as the Divine Lord’s Angels!
"There are so many who act like dogs, it’s a na that’s turned into a title," Vishi sneered.
"But you surely didn’t act like a dog, after all, there’s not a single Divine Being in your temple," Ash asked curiously, "So how did you get past this hurdle?"
"The Soul Faction," Vishi said calmly: "My soul is strong enough to bear the First Layer of Hell alone, whereas Void Wings bear the second, third, fourth, and fifth layers. But to strengthen the soul to such an extent while still a mortal... you should know from the ’Ghost Manual’ how much effort I have put in."
Slaughter all beings, feast on the world.
One of Ash’s doubts was resolved: He never understood why Vishi continued such carnage even after becoming a Holy Domain Legend when she could have used more gentle ans to get what she wanted, rather than behaving like a madwoman against the world. But if conquering the world was her main task, then everything made sense.
"You said earlier, he can create...?"
"That’s right," Vishi nodded slightly: "There are two ways for a Divine Being to be born, one is natural birth, and the other is artificially created. The mage in the Four-wing balance stage is the closest existence to nature and can likely, based on insight, directly elevate an existing Technique Spirit into a new Divine Being."
"And this is the most orthodox ascension thod—create a Divine Being, bear Hell, and step into the Divine Domain."
"Wait." Ash noticed a loophole: "But isn’t Hell supposed to have six layers? Can a Divine Being bear two layers of Hell?"
Vishi blinked: "Ah, you didn’t know? Although it’s said there are six layers of Hell, the Sixth Layer is like the top of Ruby Mountain—seemingly existing but never reachable. So only the Five Layers of Hell appear in the Promotion Ceremony."
Six layers of hell, but only five appear, makes perfect sense.
Ash looked up at the falling Fifth Layer of Hell: "Could he create a Divine Being?"
"I certainly couldn’t," Vishi said calmly, "At that ti, I was already overwheld by the flood of knowledge and the pressure of Hell, struggling even to stay conscious, let alone create a Divine Being."
"However, if there’s one thing mages aren’t lacking, it’s Miracles."
Boom!
With a silent accumulation, Rajesh’s soul body shattered once again! When he reford his soul body, he couldn’t stop the accelerated descent of the Five Layers of Hell!
At this mont, a voice gently resonated in everyone’s heart:
"Even a speck of dust can supplent mountains and seas. The faint glow of a candle can enhance the brilliance of the sun and moon."
An orange silhouette appeared beneath Rajesh’s soul body.
The mages were stunned.
Even the demons raised their eyebrows.
When the light faded, its appearance was revealed to all: an orange long dress tied at the waist like a ribbon, with only a black corset on the upper body, pink hair like a snake hanging down her shoulders, each hand holding a submachine gun, and five lightning-shaped wings on her back.
Despite its extre beauty and magnificence, rely gazing at it made the mages’ souls tremble, and their Technique Spirits shivered, not daring to act rashly!
"It actually happened..." Vishi’s pupils dilated in shock.
"Gun Technique Divine Being..." Ash murmured, "And it’s the opposite sex? Was it always like this, or did it change during ascension?"
The Substitute Technique Spirit in his soul shook its head at this, then lay down to sleep.
Nevertheless, Rajesh ultimately succeeded in creating a new Divine Being, and with this, he had no obstacles left to stepping into the Divine Domain—
"It’s a Gun Technique Divine Being!"
"Whoever obstructs will die!"
"This Divine Being should be mine!"
Just then, nurous phantoms suddenly burst out from the base of the First Layer of Hell. They began lting like early spring snow but were determined to assault the Gun Technique Divine Being!
Both Rajesh and the Gun Technique Divine Being were almost dumbfounded, and by the ti they attempted to retaliate, the Gun Technique Divine Being had already sustained significant damage, even being immobilized by nurous shackles of vine-like chains!
anwhile, in the distance, Le Huai unhesitatingly pulled out a second orange feather and blew on it, the next mont countless streaks of light shot into the Path of Origin, piercing those rapidly lting phantoms!
"It’s not a rootless duckweed!? Hey, wait..."
"Haha, too weak, too weak, to dare ddle in the Path of Origin with such minor ans? This Divine Being is mine, I said so, even the Divine Lord won’t keep it!"
The streaks of light ford from the feathers could only scatter a few phantoms, but more phantoms continued to attack the Gun Technique Divine Being, determined to drag it into Hell!
The tightly bound Gun Technique Divine Being looked at Rajesh’s light shadow, and Rajesh smiled and nodded, then an orange Light Screen radiated from the Gun Technique Divine Being, followed by a gunshot, countless beams of light erupted, and the Divine Being disappeared into nothingness!
"Tsk, so decisive."
"Let’s go."
"Damn, a little more ti and I could have completely suppressed the Divine Being’s thoughts..."
Amidst a series of disgruntled complaints, the phantoms retreated into Hell like crows.
The entire process took just a little over ten seconds, leaving everyone in shock.
Ash stared blankly at what happened, his lips trembling: "Those were..."
"Stray dogs, crows, beasts, Ghouls, or you could also call them Demigod Mages," Vishi said calmly:
"As I said, the greatest enemies of mages are other mages."
Ash could barely remain calm: "Didn’t you say others couldn’t enter the Path of Origin!?"
"Indeed," Vishi replied, "but those fellows are inside the Path of Origin themselves. They live in Hell, you see."
"However, doing so is not without cost, even rely entering the Path of Origin from Hell constantly consus their Fifth Void Wings, and can even damage their Divine Soul. If they get injured, it’s even more troubleso, as healing a soul body is far more difficult than a Mortal Body."
"So unless there’s trendous profit, they won’t co out for no reason," Vishi explained. "But robbing a newly born Divine Being unquestionably fits the description of ’trendous profit.’
"Originally, creating a Divine Being was enough to ascend to Demigod, but as mages increased, naturally, so did this additional difficulty."
She paused: "There was a ti I was like these Ghouls, but the efficiency was too low. I also have no interest in staying in one place for too long, so after two failed attempts, I gave up."
"I already dislike you; you don’t need to further provoke my disdain," Ash said.
"Do you think I care?" Vishi replied softly: "Whatever I do, you won’t have a favorable view of anyway."
Filly and Nia turned back, curious, and glanced at Vishi.
But all the mages silently watched the sky, awaiting the conclusion of the defeated.
The Five Layers of Hell continued accelerating downward, Rajesh turned his gaze to the direction from which the orange light streaks ca, clasped his hands in prayer, and said softly:
"Le Lord, may Rajesh bless your path to the Supre."
Boom!
Ash and the others saw Rajesh struck by Hell to the ground, but no shock wave or explosion occurred; the Hell disappeared the next second, and the obscured golden rain reappeared.
However, in the empty ground at the center of the building, a small Ruby Mountain appeared.
Just like a tomb.
