Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 375 - Linking Willpower
The world was shaken as a result.

The world, shaken by the events, quickly responded to her.

There were those who wanted to test her, those who wanted to win her over, those who wanted to influence her, and those who wanted to kill her. There were many, because she was merely a priestess, not Wu Chen. There were always clever people skilled in thinking pushing fools skilled in action to test her from all sides. Of course, there were also a considerable number of ambitious individuals who wanted to replace her and gain a place in Wu Chen's eyes.

Open and covert struggles soon began to surround her.

After she left Wu Chen's rented room and that obscure town, she was subjected to targeted firepower that was theoretically impossible in this land—she was blown to pieces in full view of everyone, the largest fragment probably no bigger than a palm. However, before anyone could react, she proved the power of the Chosen Ones.

She came to life.

She came back to life despite being observed by the naked eye, cameras, remote surveillance, and spy satellites.

The carbonized bone fragments first aggregated together, even piecing together large-molecule powder. The charred and broken skeleton instantly returned to its original white color, and in the next instant, amidst the lingering embers and the intense heat of the explosion, strands of connective tissue and flesh grew from the skeleton.

The living dead, flesh and bone restored, Death's chosen ones easily resisted death. And when the black priestess-like robes and the shadowy scythe appeared out of thin air in her hands, the brutes who carried out the attack and the clever people who orchestrated it behind the scenes quickly faced a definite outcome.

Under the watchful eye of the gods, no conspiracy or cunning can hide. No matter how ingenious the planning and schemes, they cannot withstand the causal insight generated by the art of prayer.

Many people died as a result.

The dead cannot be definitively said to have died.

She traversed vast distances, appearing before each creature deemed her target and wielding her scythe. Even as heads were cleanly severed, the faces that should have turned stiff and pale emitted twisted, grotesque howls—they had lost the right to die, their souls sealed within their skulls. Thousands upon thousands of heads were then piled together by Death's chosen ones, forming the first wall of the Temple of Death at the very spot where Wu Chen had first manifested.

The world fell silent as a result, and the response was rewarded with far greater weight. All overt targeting and provocation vanished, and a new and vast religious city was rapidly built around the city of Floating City, which had been destroyed and polluted by the spiral of death.

It will attract the vast and ever-growing number of Death devotees on this planet, for life and death are the deepest desires of most people. A massive tide of willpower will thus converge and gather, and this new city will naturally acquire a fitting name.

So, its name is—

........................

"Kamisu."

Wu Chen rested his chin on his hand, a thought suddenly popping into his head. That thought vanished the instant his attention touched it, like a bubble bursting. And his attention once again shifted to the breakfast in front of him.

The taste was not bad, it was just a pity that the cooking process was a little rushed—but there was nothing that could be done about it, since Pap and Miss Sweetheart, who had made up their minds, also barged in during the nighttime activities last night. While Wu Chenchen could accept anyone, that didn't mean that this delicate and fragile human girl could tolerate it.

The gap in combat power is ultimately too large.

The assessment is that even if these guys were tied together and cubed, they probably still wouldn't be able to touch the hem of Hera's skirt. I wonder what Hera's current situation is—

Wu Chen realized that he was wasting very little computing power on this tedious thinking. The willpower from the world of A Song of Ice and Fire was flowing continuously from his dream. In just one night, the pure willpower that he could not directly digest and devour had accumulated to a considerable amount.

"Lord Duster, there's something strange about your aura." Kuel was the one who recovered the fastest. Even though she was currently in a mortal body, her essence was still that of a first-level god. She had just served breakfast to Wu Chen, and she could clearly sense the restless energy within Wu Chen's body.

She tentatively made a suggestion to Wu Chen.

“I know a family-inherited method of regulating qi. Lord Dust, if you don’t mind, may I try it? You just need to touch my hand…”

The methods of the hierarchical gods on this land. The hierarchical gods are the lowest level, and the vast majority are simply gods who have been elevated from the souls of ordinary dead people. Such gods can move freely on the land, but of course, they basically have no qualifications or power other than self-preservation.

Wu Chen nodded and placed his palm in hers. A soft touch followed, and the pure willpower, or rather, idle experience points accumulated within Wu Chen's body, instantly transformed into a part of his power.

Lv72 was upgraded to Lv75. Three more levels were gained in just one night, and the growth rate will only increase further in the future.

"Hmm...okay."

The touch of their hands took only a few seconds. Kuel, who currently had no intention of revealing her identity, or rather, who could only defy divine law to this extent, smiled joyfully at Wu Chen.

“Very effective.” Wu Chen nodded. The concept of a level god wasn’t exactly a secret, but feigning ignorance didn’t prevent him from using this power. The moment his fingers touched it, he memorized the way the other party interfered with 'experience points'. And a corresponding technique for converting willpower began to take shape in his mind.

"Thank you so much, Kuel."

Every world has its unique aspects. Learning from them, summarizing them, and then innovating upon them is naturally the proper path for a wizard. Perhaps after some time and a few more attempts, he will be able to master this skill of transforming resources and personalize it.

He has already mastered part of it.

He has already grasped some of the tricks of the trade.

Deep within his soul, the Dragon Primal Magic profession he had acquired through purchase and exchange was subtly stirring. The depth of his Soul Sea's manipulation also increased slightly through the study of this skill.

"Phew, I'm glad I could help you, Lord Dust." Kuel gave a satisfied smile. She didn't see anything wrong with her change of status, nor did she intend to stop helping Wu Chen. However, just as she was about to get a little closer to Wu Chen…

Mary rushed in, bringing bad news.
