I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

In the darkness of the void, a strange god, seemingly composed of flesh and blood, opened his eyes and stared at Xue Jing.

In an instant, Xue Jing recognized that it was the superstring existence located outside the mortal world, the legendary God of Order—the Crimson Lord, the source of flesh and blood!

It symbolizes one of the foundations of material existence, the source of all flesh and blood in the world!

……

Chapter 338 The Sublimity of the Panel, Over 10,000 Values, Crimson Nova, Spiral Crimson Bullet (4K)

In the dark, lightless void, an indescribable, magnificent entity composed of blood and flesh opened its indescribable crimson eyes and silently gazed at Xue Jing.

In that instant, Xue Jing stopped thinking.

In the superstring dimension, where there is no concept of time, Xue Jing had no idea how much time had passed or what had happened.

All he knew was that, in the next instant after he sensed it, a notification sounded in his consciousness.

[Divine absorption complete]

When Xue Jing came to his senses, he found himself back in the dark and lightless void. Before him was still a world of steel and metal, and above the leaden sky, the celestial cone was slowly and steadily descending toward his student.

In his mind, the image of the great entity he had just seen was now extremely blurry, barely a fraction of what he remembered, except for that scarlet eye, which he remembered relatively clearly.

“…” Xue Jing shook his head and composed himself.

"Was that... a necessary step when activating [Crimson]? Or was it an accident?"

His eyes showed deep thought.

The description of Crimson's skill is that she sacrifices all her special abilities, except for her flesh and blood, to the Crimson Lord in exchange for corresponding flesh and blood strength.

This skill, which is explicitly related to an alien god, makes it unsurprising that one would encounter the god himself upon activation, but...

Xue Jing looked at the control panel.

[Possessing Divinity: 6395]

His divinity suddenly increased dramatically.

After spending 5,000 points to activate Crimson, he had 1,600 points left... but now he has nearly 5,000 more.

This doesn't seem like the kind of reward you get just by activating a skill...

If that's the case, wouldn't he become invincible soon if he kept activating Crimson?

Xue Jing glanced at the notification that had just popped up on the panel and immediately dismissed the idea.

[Divine absorption complete]

"It's just gibberish..."

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

This is the first time the panel has shown this abnormality since it appeared on him.

In the past, regardless of the circumstances, the panel was always in a 'high and mighty' state, as if its very existence was far superior to everything else, even when facing divine relics or items and powers related to other gods.

Xue Jing thus always had great confidence in the sublimity of the panel. Even when he heard Wu Youqing describe how exaggerated the superstring existence of the alien god was, he did not waver much. Instead, he believed that his incredible panel might be an existence equal to or even above the alien god.

And now, it seems there is finally an answer.

During the activation of [Crimson], an unexpected event occurred for reasons he did not understand... or perhaps it was not an unexpected event, but simply a necessary process? In any case, his consciousness was thus confronted with a great entity of a superstring being.

In the end, he returned safely.

Judging from this clue, it seems that Aban pulled him back by absorbing divine power...

"You can help me get rid of the Other God, and even absorb the Other God's divinity? Ah Ban, are you really an existence that surpasses the Other God?"

"No... it's hard to say. It seems that absorbing the divinity is quite difficult, and even the prompts are showing garbled characters."

"It's even possible that the 'Crimson Lord' was caught off guard and didn't pay attention? There's too little information; we simply can't understand it."

Xue Jing let out a soft breath.

"But in any case... Aban does possess the power to influence the true form of the alien god. Although the upper limit is unknown, the lower limit is at least at the level of 'not being unable to resist'."

"That's good news."

Xue Jing slowly stood up.

His entire body was filled with a burning aura of blood, making him look like a Saiyan who had activated the Kaioken technique.

He clenched his fist, and a power that he found somewhat unbelievable filled his body.

Powerful, extremely powerful.

He had never felt his own power so directly before.

The sheer, visceral power of his flesh and blood gave him an urge to roar to the heavens and release his excitement.

"Is this the effect of [Crimson]? No wonder it's a special skill that I spent five thousand divine essences to activate."

With a clench of the hand, the immense force directly squeezed the air out of the palm, creating a ring-shaped airflow that caused a brief vacuum around the hand.

Looking up, Xue Jing realized that the Heavenly Cone, which he had previously felt was incredibly hard, was now utterly vulnerable to him and could be easily shattered.

He knew this was not an illusion.

Xue Jing pressed the attribute chart on his wrist and looked at his current five-dimensional attributes.

Body: 11203

Italian: 1922

Robbery: 15629

Saint: 8257

Momentum: &￥#%￥%

A [Body] value exceeding 10,000!

Before using [Crimson], his [Body] value was around 1,700.

At this moment, thanks to the blessing of Crimson, his body value increased by nearly 10,000, almost seven times, reaching 11203.

Numerically speaking, this data is roughly the value of a martial artist whose physical talent is not particularly special when they are on the verge of breaking through their limits for the second time.

Furthermore—this value is used by Xue Jing!

With the [True Martial] attribute, he can unleash far more power than ordinary martial artists with the same stats!

An increase in basic stats represents a comprehensive improvement, and cannot be simply calculated using a formula that equates to being seven times stronger than normal.

"Well... let's do a quick test first."

Xue Jing muttered to himself, his voice sounding much deeper and more husky than usual, seemingly due to the burning and boiling of his blood energy.

"boom--!!"

Without warning, without any preparatory movements, Xue Jing suddenly disappeared.

The metal tree he was standing on instantly exploded. The strong trunk made of steel shattered, countless metal fragments flew everywhere, and the steel leaves fell and scattered, creating a rain of iron leaves. A third of the top of the metal tree was shattered, the middle section was full of cracks, and the roots were deeply sunken into the ground several meters deep.

The reaction force from Xue Jing's single acceleration caused such an effect.

Before the sonic boom's shrill sound could even spread, the sonic boom cloud left a long white trail in the void, and Xue Jing was already standing on the 'top' of the Heavenly Cone.

From disappearance to reappearance, at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound, his body remained completely still the instant he appeared, as if he had been standing on top of the Heavenly Cone from the very beginning.

This behavior, which goes from extreme stillness to extreme movement and then from extreme movement back to extreme stillness, completely defies common sense and human physical laws. It represents his terrifying control over his own body to the extreme, and an unbelievable physical strength that can withstand such incredible actions.

A strange feeling welled up in Xue Jing's heart.

He seems to... have complete control over his own blood.

Subconsciously, a thought crossed his mind.

The blood burning and boiling within his body surged like a turbulent river, requiring no breathing techniques to mobilize oxygen; it moved on its own.

The blood surged and swirled within Xue Jing's body according to his will, exerting force with the power of a 'whirlwind thunder'... Since there was no need to use breathing techniques to control the blood, but rather to directly control its movement, a step was eliminated, and there was no middleman to take a cut, making the process extremely smooth.

Many limitations that were originally due to the breathing technique were no longer a problem at this moment. With his martial arts foundation, Xue Jing modified, improved, and optimized the 'Whirlwind Thunder' in that instant, ultimately transforming it into a brand-new move that suited the current blood power generation system.

The burning, boiling blood spiraled and compressed, and powerful kinetic energy condensed on Xue Jing's right arm. Spiral indentations gradually formed from the tip of his fist, and dense blood energy enveloped the entire right arm.

Thinking of this, Xue Jing gave this move a new name.

"—True Red Nova"

"boom--!!"

The blood-burning spiral fist swung towards the celestial cone beneath its feet, stirring up a chaotic spiral of blood-red airflow before striking the top of the celestial cone.

"Bang bang——"

With a strength more than twice that of tungsten steel, it had no ability to resist the punch from this crimson monster, and its light gray metallic body suddenly shattered.

A terrifying shockwave exploded, spreading hundreds of meters away. Countless fragments, no bigger than a thumb, spiraled out of control like a tornado, scattering in all directions.

Somewhere in the D2 area, Li Suisui, who was leading the students forward, suddenly had a change in expression.

He vanished from his spot in a flash, appearing in front of a student and extending his right hand.

Just when everyone was confused—

boom--! ! !

A light gray metal fragment, no bigger than a thumb, pierced through countless steel plants, pulling at a visible swirling airwave as it hurtled towards them, only to be stopped by Li Suisui's outstretched right hand.

"puff--"

Upon contact, the unexpectedly powerful force made Li Suisui frown slightly. He used a clever trick to deflect it and shoot it to the right.

Only then did the students realize what was happening and exclaimed in alarm, "An enemy attack!"

"Where?! Who is it?!"

"Don't panic, get into formation first..."

Li Suisui shook her head and said in a childish voice, "Calm down, this is not an attack deliberately targeting us."

He paused slightly, looked around, and continued:
