My talent is 1.

Zhong Wuyai returned to the third floor to continue improving his skills...

As the source of the divine kingdom was continuously extracted, it eventually shattered, and the third layer became a void.

There were about a dozen spatial rifts in the void. Zhong Wuyai randomly chose the question mark one and went in.

Zhong Wuyai arrived in a very beautiful space, not knowing whether it was the divine kingdom of some deity or a small world that had always existed.

The area is surrounded by tall trees and various flowers and plants.

"Someone's here! Quickly tell the Grand Elder..."

Although the voice was very soft, Zhong Wuyai was now a demigod, so he naturally heard it clearly.

That's strange. This is the third level of space, so how come there are ordinary creatures here?

A sweep of divine sense revealed two figures rapidly advancing in one direction.

Zhong Wuyai was somewhat surprised that, although there were no laws or divine power fluctuations in the places his divine sense swept over, except for the places where the two figures passed, other places could block his divine sense.

"It's strange. Ordinary beings can come and go freely in this place, but demigods seem to be restricted in some way."

Zhong Wuyai carefully observed his surroundings.

Soon, the range that divine sense could cover was only a little over a thousand meters.

"What's going on?... Just a moment ago I could cover it with my divine sense, but now it's like my divine sense is being repelled and I can't get close."

Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to follow the two figures, intending to find out what was going on.

Along the way, Zhong Wuyai followed at a leisurely pace, and soon he discovered something strange.

Wherever the two went, his divine sense could cover them without any hindrance and observe everything.

However, after 10 seconds, these areas will return to normal.

"What an amazing ability."

"Gacody, you're back so early..."

"Quickly, inform the Grand Elder! An outsider has entered!"

"Outsiders?...How could that be?...We haven't had an outsider here for hundreds of years!"

"The newcomer is very strong. I don't know exactly how strong, but they're definitely beyond our capabilities!"

"Ross, gather all your people, hurry and enter the divine site!"

Gacodi is one of the strongest in the tribe, so the person who came must be no good to cause him such fear.

Gacody rushed into a stone house...

"Elder!"

"Gacody, what's wrong?"

"An outsider has arrived. He's very powerful, much like the kind of being you once described who can manipulate the laws of nature."

"This is impossible! ...The passage to the divine kingdom has been closed for hundreds of years, how could an outsider have entered?"

"The Kingdom of Gods?"

Gakdi was somewhat confused, but the elder immediately shut up, realizing he had said something he shouldn't have.

"Alright, forget about that. Are these people friends or foes?"

"I don't know, but there's no sign of them attacking us."

"Go to Kari City, find Pfish, and tell him that outsiders have entered. For now, put aside your hatred and cooperate to resist the enemy!"

"Why?...Puffish killed so many of our comrades...Why cooperate with Puffish?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just go."

"No way! I can't let go of my hatred!"

"Gaccodi, I know you hate Pfish, you hate everything about Cari City, but there's nothing I can do this time. You have no idea how evil the outsiders are."

The Grand Elder seemed lost in some kind of memory.

"Our world is actually the divine kingdom of Apta, the Behemoth Beast God of the Beast God Temple. Under Apta's protection, we had no wars, no diseases, and lived a carefree life. But later, the Behemoth Beast God perished, though I don't know exactly how. The divine kingdom was then isolated from the world. However, before the divine kingdom closed down, some outsiders entered."

"Outsiders?...Are they the same as the ones I encountered?"

"I don't know. It's been hundreds of years. I'm not sure what the situation is like outside now, but within the Kingdom of Apta, there were originally more than a dozen demigods and three lower gods, as well as millions of people."

"Millions of people... How is that possible?... And then what happened?... What happened after that? Why is it that now there are only about 100,000 people in Kari City and our Is tribe?"

"Several outsiders, who were also gods, waged war directly in the divine kingdom. Without the protection of the god Apta, the gods of the divine kingdom were no match for them. All the gods perished and were killed. The battle of the gods destroyed everything in the divine kingdom, and only a few hundred people escaped by hiding at the bottom of the temple. Later, the foreign gods left, and the Apta divine kingdom was left as ruins. Our Yis tribe was established on the site of the old temple. The site of the temple on the back mountain is the former Behemoth Temple."

"this……"

Before Gacody could say anything more, the Grand Elder's expression changed: "They can't leave now, they're already here."

Zhong Wuyai appeared in front of the Grand Elder in an instant...

"This is my first time here... and you seem very hostile towards me."

"Who are you?...Why are you allowed into the Kingdom of God?!"

Zhong Wuyai looked at the tribe in front of him with a smile. It was already quite remarkable that it still existed.

"You really hit the jackpot! The Illusionary Laws of the third level have protected you for hundreds of years!"

Zhong Wuyai also realized that if he hadn't extracted the source, he wouldn't have been able to get here at all.

The entrance to the Kingdom of Apta is in a spatial rift, but it may not be connected to other spatial rifts.

The spatial rift is concealed by another divine kingdom, and whether ordinary demigods and lower-level gods can encounter this spatial rift depends on luck.

After all, breaking the laws of illusion is very troublesome, and not everyone can squander resources like Zhong Wuyai without worrying about the consumption.

It would be very difficult for lower-ranking gods and demigods to discover this place, and they are not even sure if they have entered this place.

Since the middle-level gods cannot come to the third level, this place has been preserved and has not been visited by other gods.

Why would one refuse a divine kingdom offered to one's doorstep?

However, he is still in the realm of demigods, and even if he becomes a lower-level god, he will not be able to do anything to the divine kingdom in the short term.

Only when one reaches the intermediate level of godhood and establishes one's own divine kingdom can one devour this unclaimed divine kingdom and strengthen oneself.

The only problem now is figuring out what's hindering my spiritual power.

Why is it that in places where there are orcs, one's divine sense does nothing to hinder anything?

However, without the orcs, even if all his divine senses were concentrated in one place, he would not be able to detect them.

Zhong Wuyai moved his fingers, and instantly the two orcs were trapped like dumplings.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just take me to the temple, or not a single orc in your tribe will survive!"

"Kill me, I won't let you desecrate the Temple of Behemoth."

"Heh...you've got guts, but even the Behemoth Beast God is dead. What's the use of your persistence?"

"Elder, it's my fault. I've ruined everyone's lives. I shouldn't have come back."

"It's none of your business, Gacody. Any god who can enter the Kingdom of God can find this place whether you're here or not."

Zhong Wuyai was getting impatient and was about to use some methods when he noticed that many orcs covered by his divine sense were running in one direction.

"Looks like I've found it..."

Zhong Wuyai pointed with his finger: "That direction should be where the divine site you mentioned is located."

"Damn it!"

Before Gacody could even finish his curse, Zhong Wuyai's Annihilation Law exploded on him, instantly turning Gacody into dust.

"No... Gacody... No~!"

Zhong Wuyai unleashed another law, and the Grand Elder froze, unable to even open his mouth.

"What are you howling about?"

Zhong Wuyai stared at the spot where Gacody had disappeared... 3, 2, 1...

As expected, divine sense could not cover it.

What kind of law is this? I've never seen it before, and it doesn't look like a law at all.

It's more like some kind of order...

Zhong Wuyai mobilized the laws and divine power... the Annihilation God-Slaying Blade!

The Annihilation God-Slaying Blade slashed at the spot where Gacody had been, shattering the ground and creating a crater.

Because Zhong Wuyai stopped the Destruction God-Slaying Blade in time, the pit was not deep, only about three meters in size.

"It works!" Divine sense can now cover it.

However, it can only cover areas attacked by the Annihilation God-Slaying Blade.

This is quite troublesome; you can't just cut it all off yourself, can you?

Zhong Wuyai quickly turned his attention to the divine site.

What a magnificent temple of Behemoth...

Perhaps due to the strong rejection from the divine realm, teleportation was somewhat difficult, so Zhong Wuyai flew there instead.

The Temple of Behemoth is actually a mountain, which explains why I hadn't been able to spot the temple's architecture before.

The entire Temple of Behemoth is located inside this mountain.

The entrance is also very hidden.

They drilled directly into a mountainside, like an invisible wall.

Frozen Hell! ...In an instant, all the orcs from the Is tribe who hadn't yet entered the Behemoth Temple were frozen solid, and most of them died instantly.

Those who were still alive were on the verge of death and wouldn't live much longer.

Zhong Wuyai tried entering through the entrance. ...

"Holy crap... they can get in, but I can't?"

Zhong Wuyai unleashed his divine power at the mountain... "Boom boom boom~..."

However, it was completely useless. The entire mountain was glowing, and it seemed that the defense was slightly stronger than before.

Zhong Wuyai was stunned for a moment...

"What's going on?... I can't even scratch it?... "

Upon closer inspection, Zhong Wuyai realized that the entrance was indeed a real mountain.

Suddenly... Zhong Wuyai seemed to have thought of something and unlocked the Frozen Hell. Unfortunately, not a single one survived, and many were left without even a skeleton.

But even the remaining bones can be used temporarily.

Zhong Wuyai threw a corpse into the entrance... The corpse instantly passed through the mountain and disappeared without a trace.

"Huh?...The dead can get in, but I can't?...It's that intelligent?"

No, the Behemoth God has been dead for hundreds of years. Either there's a divine spark controlling the temple, or... it's because of something within myself.

Zhong Wuyai tried to use his divine power to control a corpse and push it little by little toward the entrance.

However, the corpses hit the mountain as if they had crashed into it. As Zhong Wuyai's divine power pushed them forward, the corpses were gradually squeezed and deformed.

"Damn it... I can't get in again..."

Zhong Wuyai was somewhat confused about the reason.

Just as the divine sense of the entire divine kingdom cannot be explored, it seems to be specifically targeted at itself... or rather, specifically targeted at outsiders...

"Zhong Wuyai tried to use the Law of Wind to accelerate a corpse and fly it towards the entrance."

"Plop~"... It turned into dust.

Zhong Wuyai carefully recalled the state of the first corpse that had just entered.

Could it be... because of divine power and laws?

This time, Zhong Wuyai stopped at the entrance, clutching a corpse.

Without using any laws or divine power, he simply used ordinary force to throw the corpse in, controlling the force to prevent it from going in completely.

"Just as I thought."

Seeing that some parts were still outside, Zhong Wuyai understood the rules of the temple.

There must be no divine power or laws, otherwise one cannot enter the entrance.

The first time, it was thrown in directly, but the next two times, the corpses were either imbued with laws or divine power, so they were blocked.

In other words, only mortals can enter the temple...

This is a bit strange, since the two of them mentioned in their previous conversation that there are lower gods and demigods in the Kingdom of Apta.

How did the gods of the Temple of Nabemon enter the temple?

Zhong Wuyai carefully observed with his divine sense, and occasionally tried to attack the entrance with his divine power...

"Damn, who set up this formation? It can actually convert divine power and laws into the temple..."

Zhong Wuyai was furious. All his tests, divine power, and laws had been absorbed by the temple and transformed into its power to resist him.

"Fuck you, old man!"

The Destroying God-Slaying Blade! ... Xun represents wind! ... Geng and Gui are in the west, the White Tiger appears...

"Cut him down!"

A huge white tiger phantom flew towards the mountain on the Annihilation God-Slaying Blade.

"Boom!"

The entire mountain was shaking.

Inside the Behemoth Temple, a group of orcs knelt before a statue of a god... in devout prayer.

After Zhong Wuyai entered, his divine sense was no longer obstructed and could cover the entire temple.

"Hehe...hehehehe..."

The scene of divine thought amused Zhong Wuyai.

Praying to a god who fell hundreds of years ago, you guys are really something.

However, Zhong Wuyai ignored him and used his divine sense to carefully search the entire Behemoth Temple, looking for anything of value.

However, after searching around, Zhong Wuyai's gaze fell on the statue.

The enormous Behemoth statue was so conspicuous that his divine sense could only cover the surface and could not penetrate into the statue to observe it.

The statue has a problem, and a very big problem.

Moreover, this statue seems familiar, though there are some differences.

"Get out, or die!"

All the orcs looked around in terror, but found nothing. When they turned back, Zhong Wuyai was already standing in front of the statue.

"Damn outsider, Lord Beast God will not let you get away with this!"

Zhong Wuyai immediately lost his mood. He had originally intended to let them go, but he was really not suited to be a horse herder.

The laws of wind surge... a storm of blades!

The entire Behemoth Temple was instantly filled with countless wind blades, forming a storm. Soon, blood rained down inside the temple...

"This statue is quite interesting. I didn't expect it to be somewhat related to that girl, Mengli."

Zhong Wuyai observed for a long time before he remembered that Shen Mengli's talent had a similar mark.

The pattern on the talent is exactly the same as the mark on the head of the Behemoth on the statue.

It seems that the Beast Lord is also a deity of the Behemoth Temple or the Beast God Temple.

Zhong Wuyai mobilized the laws of power and lifted the statue up directly.

"It's quite heavy..."

The statue, however, cannot be reduced in size like the props; it must remain the same size.

Helpless, Zhong Wuyai could only put the statue directly into his storage space.

The temple began to tremble as soon as the statue disappeared.

Zhong Wuyai carefully observed his surroundings with his divine sense.

"There's something else?... Down there~!"

The Annihilation God-Slaying Blade!

Zhong Wuyai attacked the base left by the statue, and a crack immediately appeared in the base.

The divine sense followed the crack downwards, revealing a space below.

Zhong Wuyai was too lazy to look for the mechanism, so he simply used the Annihilation God-Slaying Blade to open a gap.

"Damn... divinity!"

Zhong Wuyai had no time to think, and the white tiger phantom directly enveloped him.

The earth's terrain is Kun (坤), and Dui (兑) represents a marsh – a state of distress!

The godhood had barely appeared when it became immobile, struggling incessantly to no avail.

That's incredibly good at hiding! If it weren't for my knowledge of the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and the Four Symbols and Yin-Yang, I might have been doomed here.

Its divine essence is incomplete, somewhat like a small, ferocious beast, only missing many pieces like a jigsaw puzzle.

"Can you speak?"

No response...

Zhong Wuyai originally intended to put this incomplete divine spark into his storage space, but considering that he had not yet reached the level of a lower god, it would be dangerous to put in a divine spark that was at least a middle god, even if it was incomplete.

"Fine, even though it will result in significant losses, it's the only way to be on the safe side!"

Xun represents wind, Li represents fire, and the Vermilion Bird of Flame appears—the Southern Bright Fire of Li!

Zhong Wuyai felt a wave of weakness wash over him, as if his entire body had been drained dry.

"Use the power of Yin and Yang!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Wuyai didn't think much of it. A Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appeared beneath his feet, and he quickly regained his footing.

"This is utterly suicidal! He's not even a Celestial Immortal, yet he dares to use the Southern Bright Fire!"

"Senior, what...what...what's wrong with me?"

Zhong Wuyai was very weak, feeling like he was in the same state as before he entered the fantasy world, covered in bandages and limping.

"Hmph, you brat, you're utterly ignorant of your own limitations!"

Guan Xiangzi stretched out his hand, revealing a small bottle. He poured out a pill and handed it to Zhong Wuyai.

"Take it."

Zhong Wuyai didn't have time to think much at this point. He was already in this state, and this person was still incredibly strong. If he really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go to such lengths.

After swallowing the pill, Zhong Wuyai felt a wave of comfort wash over him, his entire body warm and cozy, and his previous weakness vanished.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Guan Xiangzi waved his hand, and the Nanming Fire vanished instantly, leaving several fragments of divine essence floating quietly in front of Zhong Wuyai.

"You now have two paths. One is to continue down the path of divine power, step by step becoming a lower god, a middle god, ... until the god-king... If you want to become a chief god, you won't have a chance in less than a million years."

"What about the other way?"

"Cultivation of immortality, there is a basic cultivation technique here. However, once you embark on the path of cultivation, all your divine power and laws will have to be dissipated, and you will have to start from scratch."

"Huh?...Starting from the beginning?"

"Of course, everything about you comes from the Divine Realm and the God Realm. Whether it's Taranco or Chaos, they could cripple you with a flick of their fingers. I can't protect you forever. Once I fight Chaos, Taranco, the Divine God of Illusions, only needs to strip you of your stats, and you'll be crippled by half. With Taranco's abilities, you won't survive."

"But... but if I start all over again now... wouldn't I still be a useless person?"

"So you have to choose for yourself."

Zhong Wuyai pondered for a moment. Starting from scratch now would be a joke. Whether in the Tower of Babel or anywhere else, cultivating immortality and transcending tribulations would take forever, let alone becoming an immortal, and even then, one would have to be at a very high level. Otherwise, one would still be no match for them.

"Senior, could you please keep the technique for now and continue cultivating divine power? Otherwise, let alone Taranco, I won't be able to defeat a demigod for a long time."

"Whatever you want!"

Guan Xiangzi was clearly disappointed, and he didn't bring out the medicinal herbs that he had originally arranged for Zhong Wuyai.

"Senior, actually... becoming a main god isn't that difficult, it's just not suitable here, perhaps the Tower of Babel can't withstand it, but I could give it a try in the God Realm."

Guan Xiangzi stared at Zhong Wuyai. He knew that the aura of the Great Dao on Zhong Wuyai's body could draw on the origin of the God Realm, but he couldn't even see how exactly it did so.

But... the gap between demigod and god is enormous. Where does this kid get the confidence to easily advance to godhood?

Although the gods in this world are far inferior to immortals, the main god is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, whose realm is similar to his own. You can't just ascend to that level as you please.

"Then hurry up and enter the realm of gods. I'd like to see how you become a supreme god!"

Zhong Wuyai rubbed his nose. Of course, he couldn't do it directly himself, but he could try with Kayla and Delis.

Level 1100, I don't know if that's some kind of divine rank, but it's definitely not low.

With Guan Xiangzi around, he should be able to control the situation, or at the very least, protect himself.

Having made up his mind, Zhong Wuyai decided to first advance to the lower level of godhood, and then go to the fourth level... to gather enough divine essence and divine crystals as soon as possible, and then ascend to the top level to enter the divine realm.

There are four fragments of divine essence in total, plus the one in my own storage space, making a total of five.

Once I advance to the lower-level godhood and refine these fragments of divine essence, I won't be far from becoming a mid-level god...

Having made up his mind, Zhong Wuyai began searching for a spatial rift to escape.

Advancing here could easily destroy this divine kingdom. It entered through a spatial rift, not from inside the Tower of Babel. Once it collapses, you might not be able to return.

However, as soon as Zhong Wuyai stepped out of the temple, he discovered that his divine sense could freely explore.

Apta's remaining divine essence was shattered, and the previous order disappeared accordingly.

This includes the formations of the Behemoth Temple.

The Behemoth Temple is just an ordinary mountain now; I could crush it with a single move.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Zhong Wuyai found a spatial rift.

Right where I had just arrived, how should I put it, when I first came in, I only needed to take a few steps back to be able to detect the existence of the spatial rift.

Back in the third layer of the void, looking at the cracks around him, Zhong Wuyai found a spot, took out his previous equipment, and began to draw divine power.

There's no need to worry about the rules; I still have plenty of skill points to use.

In terms of acquiring divine power, only divine power crystals can be used to improve one's level, and entering the next level also requires divine power crystals and divine power essence, so they cannot be refined.

As for improving one's soul... that can only be done by developing soul skills...
