Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

In the silence, it was the celestial being who spoke up: "Do you know where the remains of the earth god are?"

The earth god’s…

remains?

Ashiya Mitsuru turned his head and looked at the little devil sitting in the chair—

For some reason, the moment Ashiya Mitsuru saw her, a feeling of longing welled up inside him, and he instinctively wanted to lower his head: "What are you looking for that thing for?"

"What else can they do? Of course, they'll seize power and become local gods."

"Haha! Ignorant."

Ashiya Mitsuru shook his head, utterly disdainful: "Child, becoming a god isn't something you can just do! The remains of the earth god do indeed contain the essence of the earth god; absorbing it can make one a new earth god. But how can a mortal body—"

He suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

He saw—

The child sitting in the chair rubbed his hands together to create an extremely bright ball of light, which seemed to contain endless mysteries.

"This is……"

The orb of light in the god's hand was extremely bright, but not dazzling.

Pure magical power emanated, radiating out a lotus shape, a breathtaking sight.

"……This is?"

Ashiya took two steps forward, stretched out his hands, as if wanting to touch.

The celestial being quickly protected the orb of light, looking at him warily: "What are you doing? I'm just showing you, not letting you touch it. This is a divine essence that can transform the human body. As long as you use it to change your own physique first, you can smoothly accept the power of the Earth God."

Is that really true?

Zuo Chang was somewhat skeptical.

He doesn't believe it, but some people do.

As a master of divine arts research, Ashiya Mitsuru naturally had the authority to access the earth god's source—the sources he accessed were either fragmented or dissipated.

But even a very small number of them are extremely dangerous.

The source of God has a captivating magic.

Once you come into contact with it, it's like walking on clouds, making you feel lightheaded and unwilling to leave.

Generally speaking, when such emotions arise, research must be stopped immediately.

If this continues, human consciousness will be forever trapped in the source of God, unable to escape for eternity!

The ball of light that the gods produced represented the other extreme.

It is clear and cool; looking into it does not cause a feeling of being overwhelmed, but rather a feeling of being refreshed and having a clear mind.

Although it has not been proven yet.

However, Ashiya Mitsuru believed that this "clarity" might be able to resist the temptation of the divine source, and that those who accept the orb of light first might truly be able to accept the power of the gods!

Ashiya Mitsuru pointed to the ball of light in the god's hand and asked, "Child, where did this come from?"

The deity said in a serious tone: "I just said, I rubbed it by hand."

"...Young man, how can you talk such nonsense! You say you made it, then make another one and let me see!"

The god stared wide-eyed, seemingly somewhat unconvinced.

Fearing the situation would spiral out of control, Fan Kou quickly said, "Senior Lu, you...you are unaware of this, but this young lady's background is quite extraordinary..."

Ashiya Mitsuru remained dismissive: "Unusual? What's so unusual about her? She's just a nose and a mouth, what makes her some kind of auspicious omen or divine being?"

"..."

Fan wanted to explain, but dared not say anything more.

He looked up at Zuo Chang and saw that Zuo Chang's face was calm, so he quieted down.

"hateful!"

He was quiet, but the gods could not be quiet!

She struggled to sit up straight and said on the spot, "Fine, I'll rub it! Open your eyes and see clearly, but don't ask questions. I refuse to answer stupid questions!"

The celestial being opened his small hands and, like a plane, slicing across the surface of the ball of light.

Fine fragments of light fell like snowflakes, making the light cluster seem brighter, yet also not so bright.

When they say it's hand-rubbed, it really is hand-rubbed.

The celestial being repeatedly examined the ball of light in his hand, and every now and then he would push his palm forward, inevitably producing a piercing sound.

Zuo Chang suddenly remembered that he had occasionally heard this sound while sleeping these past few days. He had thought it was some kind of renovation going on, but he never expected it to be the gods working hard in secret.

As she continued her movements, the sphere of light grew brighter and brighter, and also became more and more—

sacred!

Zuo Chang, Zhen Gong, and the others were alright, since they knew the identity of the gods after all. Even if they couldn't understand what the gods were doing, they could still calmly and objectively observe the situation.

The rest of the people are different.

Especially Ashiya Mitsuru and the saintess.

Ashiya Mitsuru was a staunch believer in the gods, and every time the gods touched the surface of the orb, divine power surged forth—

The power of the gods is something that ordinary people cannot access; Ashiya Mitsuru did not know what this power was.

However, he spent his entire life studying the power of the earth god and had unique insights into the "power of the gods".

After sensing it for a moment, he discovered that the power surging around him was pure and holy, with an indescribable sense of sanctity, and its quality was faintly above that of the earth god's power!

What power is stronger than the Earth God, one of the four ancient gods?

Answer……

Perhaps there is only one.

Moreover, making a magic orb by hand is clearly not something an ordinary adventurer can do, especially since this magic orb allows people to "absorb the power of the earth god".

In an instant, Ashiya Mitsuru seemed to have an epiphany!

He looked at the saintess of the Church of Light beside him.

The biggest difference between the Celestial Gods and the Old Gods is that the Celestial Gods do not have their own churches. This world has never lacked sycophants, and after the Celestial Gods defeated the other gods, countless new religions emerged on the continent, each claiming to be the Celestial Gods' most loyal servants.

The gods' reaction to this was very straightforward—

Bombard!

The leader of every group that claims to believe in a god is subjected to the punishment of thunder.

With such a strong resistance, naturally no one dared to provoke them anymore.

However, there are indeed people who admire the great achievements of the goddess and firmly believe that the system she implemented has made the world progress; they are staunch followers of the goddess.

So they first fabricated a non-existent god, and then practiced the doctrines of the god—

The Church of Time was one of them, and it did so very well, becoming a behemoth spanning thousands of communities.

Could it be that……

"Has my devotion finally earned the approval of the gods?!"

Ashiya Mitsuru immediately turned his head and asked, "Holy Maiden, could this be... the Heavenly God?"

The Holy Maiden of Time shook her head, nodded, and then shook her head again.

She looked at Zuo Chang and asked, "General?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "Yes, this is the Heavenly God."

This is impossible!

Although Zuo Chang had given prior notice that he was currently on the same side as the gods, the fact that this short, small child was actually the legendary, high and mighty god was astonishing.

Unbelievable!

but……

"The general has no reason to deceive me."

Miss Saint suddenly remembered what Zuo Chang had done for her. She looked at Zuo Chang and asked, "What happened? General, I don't quite understand the situation."

Zuo Chang smiled mysteriously and said, "There's nothing special about it. It's just that after fighting with the Goddess, I gradually understood some things... and slowly, I came to understand the Goddess's good intentions. I don't think it's a big problem. The Goddess did indeed do some things poorly, but if I were in her position and had her ambitions... I don't think I could do better than her."

"..."

The Saintess of Time fell silent.

Zuo Chang looked at her and said, "I'll tell you about these things later. Right now, I think the most important thing is to seize the Earth God's remains."

The Holy Maiden of Time nodded quietly: "I can distinguish between what is important and what is not."

Two-in-one, two-in-one, I'll go correct the typos first.

Chapter 333 Pollution of the Divine Body

Seizing the remains of the Earth God is a massive undertaking.

After confirming the identity of the god, Ashiya Mitsuru showed 100% enthusiasm and immediately said without Zuo Chang having to ask, "God, Mr. Beethoven, I think it is unrealistic to take the body."

Zuo Chang turned to look: "Why?"

"Because it's too big."

Ashiya Mitsuru pointed in the direction of the geomancer's house.

"The reason why the ancestral home of the Aloe Clan is so large, even larger than Fog Edge City, is not because they are arrogant or deliberately showing off their abilities, but mainly because they have no other choice—the foundation of the ancestral home is the remains of the Earth God."

Zuo Chang and others did not have a specific concept of the size of the geomantic house, so they did not think it was exaggerated.

Fan Koumenqing immediately asked, "This... Mr. Lu, I'm not questioning you. But according to you, wouldn't the Earth God be hundreds of feet tall?"
