Storm of Gods

Chapter 146 Everything is the best arrangement
As the lightning continued, countless lightning orbs appeared out of nowhere and floated in the air. Any object that approached the orb would tremble and vibrate, and then be attracted to it.

Li Xin frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and with a boom, his figure suddenly disappeared. He rushed out like a fleeting shadow, leaving the lightning balls behind. However, the lightning balls continued to chase after him in an arc. Together with the oncoming lightning balls and the lightning from all directions, they had formed a net that stretched from heaven to earth.

Li Xin suddenly hovered without warning while moving at high speed, abruptly rushing towards the mist on one side. He almost circled the mist in an arc, passing through a blind spot. The lightning balls collided, and lightning burst forth in all directions. Li Xin continued to charge forward, with lightning chasing after him. At this moment, a large amount of lightning power had accumulated on the entire stone bridge, which looked like a lightning hell in Simmons' eyes. However, this level of lightning law still could not affect Li Xin's actions.

boom……

A massive pillar of lightning crashed down, abruptly halting Li Xin's advance. The lightning exploded outwards, radiating indiscriminately towards Li Xin.

At this moment, Li Xin's hands were clasped together, his index fingers extended to connect, forming the Immovable King Mudra, calming his mind and eliminating all negative influences, "Lin!"

bass……

Li Xin moved swiftly close to the ground, his figure like a long snake, kicking up a shower of pebbles. He withstood some of the lightning's interference, but it wasn't the highest damage; it was merely the weakest link in the lightning's splash.

Li Xin flew up in an arc, as if skimming the ground, and had already crossed the stone bridge. Then, a stone archway appeared in front of him.

When I looked back, the stone bridge had returned to calm.

At the other end of the bridge, Simmons opened his mouth, his throat dry.

He couldn't get through, because Simmons couldn't get through either; the other side of the stone archway was shrouded in mist, and Li Xin couldn't advance either.

Looking at the mist before him, Li Xin reached out and gently touched it, then immediately withdrew his hand. The dice spun, and he made a very smooth prediction.

a little.

Very good. It seems to be really deadly. This time he can clearly feel that the dice will not have a negative effect. The dice still feel full after being used up, and he can also realize that he can use it again immediately. This should be the result of the awakening of the first life star.

The first star's ability is to toss the ball again.

Judging some complex events requires multiple attempts. Sometimes, the judgment may change when faced with ever-changing circumstances. If you do not have the ability of the first life star, the close connection with the event will weaken when you can use the dice again, which may greatly lead to the judgment being invalid.

Li Xin threw the dice again. The dice rolled, but unsurprisingly, it still showed one, which served as further proof.

Li Xin curled his lip, "Could you be a little more arrogant?"

After two consecutive uses, the dice lost their vitality and became unresponsive. Li Xin also felt that the dice's fullness had decreased significantly, and the second use consumed more energy than the first.

In any case, the Holy Land is a good place, and Simmons is a good man.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, shall we go back?" Simmons shouted, waving his arms from the other side of the bridge.

Knowing he couldn't go any further, Li Xin suddenly turned back, startling Simmons. But this time, the stone bridge was calm, with no thunder. The dark clouds had dispersed, leaving only the surrounding mist.

Seeing Li Xin return, Simmons' mind was still a bit numb. He then tried to kick Li Xin. The reason he waited for Li Xin to return was to prevent any unexpected changes. Simmons was very meticulous in his work. Sure enough, as soon as he stepped in, an anomaly occurred. Li Xin's passage had nothing to do with him.

Li Xin roughly guessed the differences between divine relics, primordial embryos, and entering the sacred land purely through spiritual energy. If there are divine relics, then the sacred land is closely related to the divine relics. Each host walks the same path and obtains similar power. The stronger the divine relics, the greater the difficulty of reaching the sacred path. Therefore, matching with overly powerful divine relics is not necessarily a good thing.

If it is a proto-organism, it will follow an uncertain path. If it completes the path and reaches a certain opportunity, the proto-organism will transform into a divine relic, and then the path will be fixed. As for the difficulty or how to walk it, there is currently no more information to refer to, but there are definitely simpler paths that are easier to obtain power.

If you rely solely on psychic energy to enter the sacred place, something feels off.

Li Xin shared his doubts with Simmons, who shook his head. "I do know that. If you enter purely using psionic energy, the location you appear in is uncertain each time. The danger and the benefits are completely disproportionate. Sometimes you might even encounter some strange creatures. So, it's best not to venture into sacred places without divine relics or primordial artifacts."

Even with incredible luck, problems will inevitably arise as power increases and one delves deeper; otherwise, those secretive organizations and families wouldn't risk their lives so desperately for divine relics.

Even without obtaining the power of lightning, Simmons still possesses considerable skill. However, he has fallen behind at his level, which explains why he feels that Simmons lacks the spirit and energy of a member of the Secret Fortress. After all, even Luo Xue is more spirited than him.

Simmons looked at the stone bridge in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. He had been full of expectations for himself when he returned from the secret castle, but he suffered a heavy blow when he opened his first life star. Although he later successfully opened his second life star and gained the ability to flash, the first life star only gave him the ability to enhance, which directly limited his upper limit. He struggled to move forward in the sacred land and fell behind among the nobles.

Li Xin pondered for a moment, "Your divine relic is closely connected to the power of thunder. Logically speaking, there should be a high probability that you will obtain the power of thunder during your first awakening, right?"

Simmons gave an awkward, wry smile. "That's what I think too. My family is quite disappointed in me." Because he hadn't obtained the power of lightning, Simmons' exploration of the Sacred Land was becoming increasingly difficult. Having the power of lightning would at least greatly enhance his resistance.

"Brother Li, please excuse me. You actually wasted your time at Shengze. If..." Simmons felt that he was a piece of trash and was not worthy of fighting alongside experts of this level.

“If everything is predetermined because of the divine relic, then what is meant to be will come sooner or later. If everything is not predetermined, then there is still a chance to change things later,” Li Xin said with a smile. “There is a saying in my hometown: everything is the best arrangement. Don’t forget the bond between us.”

A Gate of Truth appeared beneath Li Xin and Simmons' feet. After about seven or eight seconds of charging, accompanied by a beam of light, Li Xin and Simmons returned to their room at the Holy Ze Church.

Li Xin glanced at the clock in the room and estimated the time; roughly, the sacred land and reality were synchronized.

Everyone gained a lot from this trip to the sacred land. Li Xin finally arrived at this familiar place, but there were still some details he needed to think about when he got back. Simmons had also changed, and as for Celia, her gaze towards Li Xin now held a hint of eagerness, though it was all out of curiosity and nothing else.

Li Xin removed the armor and stuffed it inside, feeling Celestia's gaze. "I'll take it back and wash it clean." Then he wiped his longsword.

Before entering the sacred land, Celia was bound to tease her a bit about when she'd be back, but right now she was full of questions, "Why not use it?"

Li Xin glanced at the knife in his hand, then put it back in the package: "They are not worthy."

He smiled at Simmons and said, "Simmons, I have to report to Hexbird on Monday morning, so I need to ask for leave first."

“Brother Li, you are free in Saint Ze,” Simmons said.

After Li Xin left, Celia relaxed in the room. "Simmons, what exactly does Li Xin do? He's so powerful, is he a member of the Secret Fortress?"

Simmons stood up and stretched, his mind still filled with Li Xin's words, "Everything is the best arrangement." Yes, if the divine relic was destined, then he should obtain it; if it wasn't destined, then anything was possible. Damn, he had actually been agonizing over this for so long. Every setback was for a stronger rebound!

Li Xin's trip was like revealing the secret of the stone bridge. He couldn't have encountered such strong resistance when he was alone. He was sure he could get through it!

"Don't ask any more questions, I promised I wouldn't tell," Simmons said.

Celia understood, and this was interesting. Moreover, it seemed that this trip to the sacred land had restored Simmons' confidence, finally giving him the same confidence he had when he first returned six years ago.

Li Xin is quite something.

"Did you see how Li Xin survived the explosion of that mountain of flesh monster?" Celia asked.

Simmons saw it clearly: at that moment, Li Xin merely tore his opponent apart. What kind of power was that? And then he was surrounded by the power of lightning. Was this the power of the master tester of the Secret Fortress?

It was a bit surprising, but this time Simmons was full of fighting spirit.

“Celtis, perhaps our Holy Order Academy really can create miracles,” Simmons said.

At the entrance of the Order Academy, Li Xin finally saw a carriage. Actually, several carriages had passed by before, but none of them were open-top. He had been waiting for an open-top one, and if it didn't come soon, he was planning to walk back.

The carriage clattered along, the horse looking a bit tired. Li Xin leaned back against the carriage seat. He had gained a lot from the Sacred Land this time, and he wanted to go back and see if he could enter. If he still couldn't, why was the Sacred Land blocking him?

Is it my problem? Or is it the dice?

Another detail that Simmons missed was that when the mountain of flesh perished, he noticed the pained faces. At that moment, he saw a very humane release, which ultimately turned into white smoke and merged into the mist.

Could it be that all those fogs were formed in this way?

Another question is, the lion said he came from the Misty Continent, is that Misty Continent connected to the Sacred Land?

Li Xin slapped his head. Damn, his brain, which was always thinking about food and hunger, was still quite fussy. Today's gain was just a set of armor.

perfect!
