An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 425 The Power of Civilization
"Cang Kai".

"Cang Kai".

"Cang Kai".

In a daze, Cang Kai heard someone calling his name.

"Who"

His consciousness was heavy and dull, as if he had been suddenly awakened from a long afternoon nap.

"Become my divine messenger, and I will grant you the power to save your people."

The distant consciousness came intermittently.

Cang Kai regained some clarity and recalled many things from his previous life. The lizard god's smug face and the images of his people killing each other flashed through his mind.

"What scheme are you plotting now?"

"Gods? I, Cang, have never believed in gods!"

Although he was only a king-level being, since he had raised the banner of rebellion, it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of the abyss.

He knew perfectly well that their world was the territory of that extraterrestrial demon. Now that the demon's altar was still lit, how could any other powerful beings possibly come over or even contend with it?
Such sneaky behavior could very well be a trick devised by the god of the hunt to add some fun.

“Divine messenger, deity, these are just titles that can be changed at will. The key is the power to change everything.”

The sound drifted over again, intermittent, as if it came from a very distant place.

Cang Kai has now lost all his senses, leaving only his consciousness suspended in the darkness.

"I don't believe you."

"I have already completed my mission, why should I create any more complications?"

Cang Kai replied using his mind.

What are the chances that during the hunting ceremony, a high-ranking being happens to turn their gaze to this place and, by chance, decides to help you out of kindness?

He doesn't believe in coincidences at all.

This is most likely just another trick by that extraterrestrial demon.

He knew he had to die.

If he doesn't die, the gaze of the extraterrestrial demons will not be cast upon the distant lands, and he and his people will have no chance to return.

After saying that, Cang Kai made up his mind to ignore him.

And the sound quieted down.

But at that moment, Cang Kai suddenly felt a warm current enter his "body".

He had clearly lost all bodily sensations, yet he could still feel the warm current. Then another warm current appeared, growing larger and larger until it coalesced into a hot spring that completely enveloped his consciousness.

The warm feeling made him feel like a baby snuggled in a cashmere blanket, experiencing unprecedented comfort. It was as if all his defenses had been lifted in an instant, and he could feel his consciousness growing at an astonishing speed!

But as he grew to a critical point, a sudden light shone in his consciousness!
That light was like the first ray of dawn piercing through the darkness, instantly brightening Cang Kai's world.

"Aha!"

Cang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, and a gentle sun was hanging in front of him.

"This is."

He looked around in surprise and immediately realized that he was in the cave where the battle had taken place. The large hole above his head was blasted out during the battle. At that moment, the sun was setting at the cave entrance. The evening sunlight was not glaring and was warm and comfortable.

He looked down at himself again. He was lying naked on the ground. With a thought, his familiar hands rose and stretched out in front of him.

Cang Kai opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

He clearly remembered that the divine messenger had stomped on his head and crushed it!
Although he was already dead at that time, his consciousness had not completely dissipated, and he could still perceive what was happening in the outside world!
but now.
Cang Kai touched his head; it was completely unharmed.

Not only that, but all his injuries had been completely healed. Not only were there fresh wounds from the battle, but even old wounds from before had disappeared! His skin was as smooth as a baby's, and upon closer inspection, it even had a smooth, jade-like texture!
"What exactly is this."

"Are you looking for this?"

Just then, the voice that had called out to him earlier rang in his ears again.

Cang Kai looked sharply toward the source of the sound, and his pupils contracted in an unimaginable way!
Not far from him lay a headless corpse, clad in armor and covered in blood!
He knew this corpse all too well; it was himself!
Right next to the corpse, a horizontal crack had appeared in the space, and from within the crack, two enormous black eyes were silently staring at him.

Cang Kai was completely stunned.

The aura emanating from those dark eyes was completely different from that of the extraterrestrial demons from before!

Could it really be another superior being?
And myself
Cang Kai clenched his fist. This new body was not created casually; its strength surpassed even that of his previous self!

"This"

"This is my sincerity."

Before he could speak, the being within the rift spoke.

“I said, become my messenger, and I will grant you the power to save your people.”

Now, Cang Kai, who had been mentally prepared for everything, finally wavered.

He had never even heard of such a terrifying supernatural power as completely reshaping a body!

Creating a body is simple; the difficulty lies in ensuring that the body and his soul are perfectly matched, without the slightest discomfort!
This means that this superior being has the power to grant others eternal life!

Not to mention, the other party created a powerful King-level body for him! And in such a short time!
Cang Kai didn't believe that extraterrestrial demon could possess such powerful authority!

Could this truly be a strange, superior being? Is this really an opportunity to save my people?

Cang Kai's expression changed drastically, and it took him a long time to calm down: "What price do I need to pay?"

He dared not agree easily, because no one could guarantee whether this would pull his people out of the mire or plunge them into another, deeper, more hopeless abyss.

"Your world will become an anchor point, available for my use when needed."

The sound continued.

"Anchor?"

"Yes, a teleportation anchor point, nothing more."

As the words were spoken, Cang Kai felt an object enter his body. The object resembled a complex piece of data, spreading towards his spiritual platform, attempting to connect with his soul.

This is the independent anchor point.

The anchor point had been pre-positioned within Cang Kai's consciousness; only in this way could Chu Xiu open the passage and mobilize the power of civilization to reshape his body. However, if Cang Kai's consciousness resisted, the anchor point's power would not be replenished and would eventually detach.

"Accept my power and save your people."

"There's no need to haggle anymore. You know you have no choice; you just want peace of mind. And I can assure you, I have no interest in you or your compatriots."

The message arrived without any emotional fluctuation, but Cang Kai felt an undeniable sense of pressure.

Yes, a powerful being that can even reshape its physical body, why would it go through so much trouble if it wanted to harm them?

Just as the other party said, I actually had no choice; I just wanted peace of mind.

With this in mind, Cang Kai stopped resisting and allowed the anchor point and his consciousness to merge.

The moment he gave up resisting, he felt something, like smooth, delicate little fish, swimming into his consciousness, as if something had been added to his soul.

At the same time, he sensed an incredibly powerful and ferocious consciousness on the other side of the gap at the other end of the anchor point!
Almost instinctively, Cang Kai's soul trembled in fear. As a madman who had fought his way out of a sea of ​​knives and blood, Cang Kai was not afraid of the strong, but this reaction of his soul was an irresistible instinct, to prevent the other party from easily obliterating his weak soul!
"This sense of oppression is definitely stronger than that of the extraterrestrial demon!"

"Just what level is this being?"

For a moment, Cang Kai was filled with shock.

What he didn't know was that Chu Xiu's soul might not be as powerful as that extraterrestrial demon's.

However, both the Battle Spirit and the Yama Scripture are incredibly powerful supernatural abilities of an unbelievably high level. The former is a superior existence in another dimension for ordinary souls, while the latter is an extremely fierce ghost that commands all ghosts.

Across countless miles of vast space and time, Cang Kai could not perceive the specific strength of Chu Xiu's soul, but the supremely fierce aura within Chu Xiu's soul combined with it to form an irresistible impression that remained in Cang Kai's mind.

It was a simple misunderstanding, but Chu Xiu saw no need to explain.

For Cang Kai, the more he realized the gap in strength between the two sides, the easier it would be for Chu Xiu to control the situation.

This kind of control doesn't mean overt resistance, but rather subtle, behind-the-scenes maneuvering. The psychological pressure exerted by an omniscient and omnipotent god is completely different from that of a powerful demigod.

Chu Xiu was actually quite optimistic about this world. It had a large population, modern science and technology, and a well-developed cultivation system. As long as it broke free from the suppression of the extraterrestrial demons, its development speed would be extremely rapid.

Its strategic position is also quite important. Putting aside the relics left by the corpse of the god not far away, the fact that it can establish a substantial connection with the Blood Crystal Civilization, a high-level civilization, is enough for Chu Xiu to take seriously.

He currently possesses the coordinates of a cluster of level-ten civilizations, but lacks any method to contact them. If he succeeds in this trial, these awakened individuals will establish connections with this world, and Chu Xiu might be able to follow the clues and climb upwards step by step.

"Of course, that's on the condition that the mission is completed first—"

Chu Xiu pointed his finger, and a stream of pure spiritual energy and consciousness was transmitted through the teleportation channel.

The power of civilization is a power that is difficult to manifest. Even though Chu Xiu only relied on the power of the Lord of Civilization to mobilize it, he still could not figure out its core principles.

Of course, even the master of a civilization cannot mobilize the power of other civilizations, not even those without a master.

All Chu Xiu did was activate this power.

Everything that followed—

These are all the desires of civilization.

The people wanted their hero to be resurrected, so the power of civilization reshaped Cang Kai's body.

The suffering, the will to resist, and the shared prayers of billions of people in this world over thousands of years—the power gathered by all these beliefs is naturally far more than just reshaping a body!
A fierce surge of civilizational power erupted within Cang Kai's body, bathing his entire being in radiance, and his aura was rising at an astonishing rate!

Cang Kai desires power—the power to free his people from suffering.

At this moment, Cang Kai's wish is the wish of the people!

Pure power erupted from Cang Kai's body, and the sheer magnitude and vastness of that power shocked even Chu Xiu!
In just a few seconds, Cang Kai's rank soared, from King Rank 5 to King Rank 6 and finally to Heroic Spirit!

"boom!"

A massive sonic boom erupted inside the cave, and a blazing pillar of light shot into the sky, obscuring even the sun's brilliance!
"He's become a Heroic Spirit?"

Even though Chu Xiu knew the wonders of the power of civilization, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. In just a few seconds, a king-level being was elevated to a heroic spirit without even having to participate in the trial. What kind of power was this?
Furthermore, Chu Xiu could even sense that the power of civilization within Cang Kai's body was still not exhausted! Instead, it continued to accumulate power from all directions, as if something was about to be born from it!

Perhaps, once the world's beliefs are further condensed on Cang Kai, that immense power of civilization will completely materialize!
"So, the treasure that Ya Zi mentioned, manifested by the power of civilization?"

Chu Xiu was surprised by this unexpected gain and his spirits lifted.

"The simplest way to unite the hearts and minds of the world is, of course, to win a resounding victory in front of everyone!"

When Cang Kai was at the fourth level of the King rank, he was able to briefly contend with four high-level awakened beings of advanced civilizations who were at the maximum level of the King rank, thanks to his extremely high combat talent and special physical constitution.

Now that he has become a heroic spirit, Chu Xiu is very much looking forward to seeing what kind of combat power he can unleash!
"In that case, I'll add fuel to the fire."

Chu Xiu raised his hand, and the three mythical equipment pieces—the Chiwen, the Star Ring Pulse Gauntlets, and the Imperial Five Dragon Crown—appeared beside him! Immediately, a massive amount of pure spiritual energy poured into them!

Chu Xiu only stopped when all three mythical equipment pieces began to hum and their energy was injected to its limit.

With a flick of his wrist, the three mythical equipment pieces shot through the teleportation channel toward Cang Kai's location!
"Second Brother! Are you really going to harm the brothers?!"

"Liu Zi, I'm so sorry, but my daughter is still so young. I can't just watch her be tortured by those beasts."

"So you're going to use our brothers' lives to buy this out?!"

In the valley, hundreds of soldiers were engaged in close combat, fighting desperately, with the mangled corpses of their former comrades lying scattered on the ground.

Huang Weidong still remembers that he was stabbed seven times while trying to retrieve the body of a comrade. He fought desperately through the crowd for three hours before finally managing to bring the body out.

But right now, he has killed no fewer than five of his own brothers.

His heart was already overwhelmed by grief and guilt, and his brain's protective mechanisms had rendered him unable to feel any emotions.

All he's doing now is hunting, hunting relentlessly, hunting with every means at his disposal, hunting with all his might!
High in the distance, Shia's face was expressionless, but unlike her previous calm, it was completely indifferent.

Blood crystal power surged around her, transforming into countless sharp blades that stabbed towards the remaining two Awakened Ones. Each blade aimed at a vital point, showing no mercy and each move was meant to take the enemy's life!

Although the other two were at a disadvantage, they did not beg for mercy at all. Their eyes were like those of vicious snakes, searching for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

They have abandoned all moral considerations; all they care about is how to take the other person's life as much as possible!

Outside the hunting ceremony, large numbers of people associated with the rebels, even those with only a slight connection or who may have only sold breakfast a few times, were dragged onto the streets in large numbers. The surrounding crowd screamed, roared, and some even went up to beat them, as if the fighting in the ceremony had also aroused their desire to use violence.

Just like countless hunting rituals in the past, once the ritual is over, morality and dignity will disappear, leaving only the eternal hunt and the eternal survival of the fittest.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted in the ceremony area!

All the people who were fighting and killing stopped.

They turned to look in the direction of the sound, where an incredibly dazzling pillar of light was rising rapidly.
