I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He was desperately lacking in divinity, and the unexpected four thousand he received just solved his immediate problem; he had already figured out how to use it.

He currently possesses 4568 divinity points, of which 2000 points are used to upgrade [True Martial Arts] to Lv4. This skill not only directly enhances his strength but also accelerates his martial arts growth, so the earlier it is upgraded, the better.

Another thousand will be used to elevate the teaching.

The remaining 1,500... is pending.

Xue Jing opened the panel and glanced at the Divine Skills section.

"Killing this special monster didn't activate any new divine skills...?"

He had a slight expectation, thinking that a new Cthulhu-style divine ability similar to the Parasitic Candle, capable of activating and mutating matter, might be released.

"Well, it's a bit of a shame that there aren't any new skills, but I already have so many divine skills that I can't keep up with them all. If I add more, the divine skill gap will be even bigger. Right now, I have plenty of options, which is more than enough. I should just focus on leveling up my existing skills."

After closing the panel, Xue Jing looked up at the sky.

After he destroyed the main body of the parasitic candle, the huge spherical host body is gradually being crushed into ashes.

From his shattered body, Xue Jing felt a strange sense of rejection... as if the world was driving him away.

However, the steel bars in the sky that had been mutated by the parasitic candles seemed unaffected by the death of the parasitic candles, and were still active, engaging in an endless battle with the Shadowflame army.

"The effect of this ability is actually permanent mutation?"

Xue Jing frowned.

Even the user's death did not make the effect of the ability disappear... Could it be that the principle of this ability mutation directly changes the essential structure of the mutated substance?

He vaguely understood why this parasitic candle was emitting so much divinity.

Xue Jing quickly descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

He had just thrown the 'Night-Cutting Ice', which had been mutated by the parasitic candle, into the ground.

After searching for a while, although the ground in the entire unfinished building area was a mess due to the battle between Xue Jing and Parasitic Candle, his excellent eyesight allowed him to quickly find the small hole that Ye Caibing had made.

The black energy gathered, and the Shadow Flame formed a spiral black drill on Xue Jing's right hand, which began to spin rapidly.

Xue Jing aimed the drill at the hole, and instantly dirt flew up as the ground was quickly dug open. He moved like a groundhog, constantly going deeper into the earth.

In just over ten seconds, he had already gone dozens of meters underground, but still couldn't find Ye Caibing.

"Damn, how hard did I throw it? Where did it even hit?"

Xue Jing cursed under his breath.

Previously, the clothes and the night-cutting ice 'betrayed' him together. The situation was too urgent, and he did not hold back.

His strength is now incredible, and with the sharpness of the Night-Cutting Ice Spear tip, breaking through soil and rocks is child's play for him. I wonder how deep it can penetrate.

Besides that, Xue Jing had a slightly unsettling worry... After Ye Caibing mutated, she was like a living thing. Could it be that she kept burrowing into the soil and trying to escape?

Xue Jing didn't know the true value of this spear, but he personally liked it very much, and it would be a real pity to lose it.

Fortunately, things didn't seem to be as bad as he had thought.

After going down about seventy or eighty meters underground, the originally straight tunnel that Ye Caibing had dug began to veer and twist, just as Xue Jing had feared: Ye Caibing was running around aimlessly.

However, Night Ice didn't run very far. It seemed to have gotten lost underground, winding and turning within a certain area, eventually creating a complex, three-dimensional tunnel resembling a city sewer. Xue Jing followed the tunnel and dug all the way through, successfully finding it about twenty minutes later.

Shadow Flame burned in his pupils, and in the lightless underground environment, he caught sight of the spear's tail. Xue Jing immediately reached out and grabbed it.

Ye Caibing struggled to get up, but Xue Jing's gaze sharpened, and he used 'Feather Transformation' on her.

Grab it and refine it instantly!

Originally, it was conceptually Xue Jing's 'item', so the ascension would naturally take effect.

However, unlike when he usually uses the Feather Transformation technique, Night Ice Blade weighs less than 100 kilograms, so in theory, the Feather Transformation should be a breeze.

However, the blue bar for Feathering on the panel was being consumed rapidly, and in a short time, it had been mostly depleted, leaving the color extremely dull.

At this moment, the Feather Transformation was successfully applied to Night Blade Ice.

The dark blue, struggling gun barrel instantly straightened up, returning to its original shape.

Seeing this, Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness."

Fortunately, the feathering effect still works on it... otherwise, if it kept staying in that arrogant state, the gun would be unusable.

Using the Shadow Flame Drill to dig upwards, Xue Jing quickly led Ye Caibing through the ground and back to the surface.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the countless mutated steel bars in the sky, Xue Jing shook the Night-Cutting Ice in his hand and suddenly realized something.

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

He reached out and touched the dark blue gun barrel, feeling that something about it was different...

With a thought, Xue Jing twirled the Night-Cut Ice Spear and then thrust forward!

The sharp spearhead sliced ​​through the air, thrusting forward, and then... the spearhead made an exaggerated U-shaped bend, stabbing towards Xue Jing's back.

"Nani?"

Xue Jing was somewhat surprised.

The effects of being mutated by the parasitic candle... have been preserved?

The items that have been transformed into feathers are equivalent to extensions of Xue Jing's physical body.

He began to control Ye Caibing as if he were controlling his hands and feet.

Under his use, the dark blue gun barrel first stretched continuously, from nine feet to more than ten meters in length, and that was not the limit.

Furthermore, the elongated gun barrel can twist and turn freely, as flexible as a supple snake.

"Yo-chan, did you sneak a bite of the Gum-Gum Fruit when I wasn't looking?"

Xue Jing's expression was strange.

Unexpectedly, Ye Caibing was mutated by the parasitic candle... and there was this unexpected gain.

After being retrieved, it was transformed into this special weapon.

"Damn it, I should have known better than to burn the clothes." Xue Jing slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed.

I was a little angry because I was ambushed by my own clothes, so I burned them clean with Shadow Flame.

I should have kept them and used their ascension to clear their name.

With a sigh, Xue Jing extended his finger and flicked it against Ye Caibing's gun, producing a crisp sound.

He nodded: "Hmm... its strength itself hasn't changed, it just has gained the peculiar ability to stretch and bend."

With a slight exertion of force, Ye Caibing channeled his energy into the gun, instantly unleashing a dark blue spear light.

"The smoothness of the energy flow has not changed, which is good."

Xue Jing was very satisfied.

This mutated spear, mutated from eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, can be used to perform many fancy maneuvers.

The mere fact that the tip of a spear can suddenly turn is enough to cause trouble for the opponent.

Summoning the non-existent beast and placing the Night-Cutting Ice into the invisible rift, Xue Jing soared into the sky, donned a suit of Shadow Flame Armor, and began to deal with these mutated steel bars.

These steel bars are not conceptually 'his own', so they cannot be transformed and are of no use to him.

Even if it could transform into a feather, it wouldn't really be of much use... It would just be some steel bars anyway, the material's upper limit is already determined, even if it grew a mouth and could bite, its function would still be so-so.

……

Having left the unfinished building area, the Void Blade and White Crow members, located in the distance, gazed in the direction where Xue Jing was.

Since almost all the equipment was destroyed by the quake when the Parasitic Candle appeared, there was no surveillance on the battlefield at this time. Everyone followed Xue Jing's instructions and stayed far away, completely unaware of what was happening on the other side.

All I could hear were the constant, loud bangs and explosions, which told me that a fierce battle was taking place over there.

"Look over there! The mountain... the mountain has been cut off!"

A member of the White Ravens pointed to a small hill on the outskirts of the southern city and exclaimed in surprise.

"Lord Jing... what exactly are you fighting?"

Everyone was filled with awe and respect.

"The right to access the satellite footage hasn't been granted yet?"

Xu Ren frowned and looked at the White Raven member next to him who was wearing a white coat.

"There hasn't been a reply from above yet... Captain." The White Raven member wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly.

Xu Ren sighed.

Because the super-creature 'Mother of Dragons' resides in Earth's orbit, all the satellites launched by early humans have been destroyed.

It wasn't until the last two decades that a 'Dragon Core Satellite' that could be considered a kind of satellite by the dragon species was developed, and new satellites have been launched into orbit one after another.

However, Dragon Cores, which are suitable for manufacturing satellites, are extremely rare. There are not many Dragon Core satellites in the sky at present, and the Sixth Agency does not have many satellites either.

Within the White Raven, only captains and above have the authority to call up satellites at any time.

"Captain, it's a call from the Qingcheng government."

A member of the White Ravens shouted at the Void Blade.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ren reached out and tapped the back of his ear a few times.

"Hello? Councilor Pei..."

She spoke in a calm voice.

"..."

"Something has happened, we're dealing with it..."

"..."

"Tell Chief Chu not to worry, Xue Jing is handling this matter right now..."

After Xu Ren finished speaking, he noticed that Representative Pei Xiao En's tone on the other end of the phone had suddenly become much better and he had started to become reserved. His expression was somewhat strange.

"...That's all. You guys keep the people calm, and leave the rest to Xue Jing."

After hanging up the phone, the mandrill next to him teased:
