Deities: Rulers of Nature

During the war of the gods in the Old Age, the divine status of the god of poison and the spider was shattered, and a fragment with broken divine runes fell into the Dark Cavern.

Over the long course of time, nourished by the primordial essence of the crypt and countless living beings, the divine runes were perfected and have now reappeared.

It is precisely this that corrupts the divine authority.

A complete Poisonous Divine Power can support a deity of low divine power, but the Corruption Divine Power is only one of the lower ranks of the Poisonous Divine Power. It can at most push a demigod to a minor divine power, and then it reaches its limit.

Regardless, the divine office is an extremely important part of the divine.

Kester was closest to the clergy, and the moment the concept of corruption came to mind, an irresistible greed rose from the depths of his heart.

"It's mine, and it can only be mine."

Kester's once clear eyes were once again covered in blood, and he rushed towards the rune cluster.

"If I obtain it, I can become a new god."

"I am the only Gold-tier being in the Dark Caverns; no one else is qualified to obtain it."

"..."

One thought after another emerged, all of which propelled Kester closer to the rune cluster.

However, the moment Kester's hand touched the edge of the rune cluster, something unexpected happened.

"Ah~, my hand!"

Kester let out a wail as his hand was corroded away, and the process was rapidly spreading upwards.

He stared at his arm, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and the next second he tore his entire right arm apart. His pupils contracted from the excruciating pain, along with a hint of fear and relief.

The severed right arm he had thrown away had been completely corroded into a pool of liquid, and this liquid was not still; it was still corroding towards the ground, and within just a few breaths, a small hole had formed.

If Kester had hesitated even for a moment, his entire body would have turned into this pool of liquid.

"Why is this happening?" Castor clutched his wound with his left hand, his features contorted in extreme rage. He roared hysterically, "I received the blessing of the God of Poison and the Spider! I am the only one qualified for divine office, why?"

Kester was puzzled, Kester was confused, Kester was furious.

Not far away, Carlos watched Kester with cold eyes, observing his smugness and his mad breakdown, as if he were watching a clown.

Anyway, nothing mattered to Carlos anymore. A crazy idea even popped into her mind: if someone or something could kill Kester, then no matter the cost, even if it meant giving up her own life, Carlos would give it up without hesitation.

Outside the world's crystal wall, Ji Xuan was also watching.

Because of his different rank and the existence of his all-knowing eye, Ji Xuan knew more about the whole picture than the Spider-Men present.

Kester obtained that fragment of divinity at the wrong time. If Kester had been a legendary-level transcendent being at that moment, then even though that fragment of divinity was broken, it would have been enough for Kester to become a divine being, transforming him into Him.

If a divine being were to condense even a tiny bit of divine essence, it could become a demigod. At that point, Kester would be able to accommodate divine authority, which is naturally something only gods are qualified to possess.

As for why Ji Xuan was here, it can only be described as a coincidence.

After Chi Hong also broke through to the Bronze rank, Ji Xuan moved around the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm while exploring the surrounding world.

Ji Xuan paid attention to the Dark Cavern because Cherry Dew Grass and Jade Bone Grass grew there. Cherry Dew Grass is one of the spiritual plants needed for the purification of the bloodline of the Cherry Blossom Spirit Clan, while Jade Bone Grass is one of the spiritual plants needed for the bloodline leap of the Xishan Serpent Clan.

【Cherry Blossom】

[Rank: Bronze]

[Spirituality: Symbiosis]

[Appearance: The entire plant is 50 centimeters tall, with emerald green stems and leaves resembling cherry blossoms...]

[Growth characteristics: It must grow together with other plants; it cannot sprout when alone, and it will gradually wither if removed after it has grown to maturity...]

[Yield: A batch of cherry leaves will automatically fall off each year, and cherry dew can be collected every day]

[Information: It possesses a symbiotic spirituality, capable of slowly gathering the essence of surrounding plants to form cherry blossom dew. This process does not affect plant growth, while the cherry blossom dew is beneficial to plant transformation; the two are mutually beneficial and symbiotic...]

-----------------

Jade Bone Grass

[Rank: Bronze]

[Spirituality: Jade Bones]

[Appearance: The entire plant is composed of multiple white jade-like segments connected together, each segment being 30-40 centimeters long, and can grow up to nine segments, with the whole plant being white jade-colored...]

[Growth characteristics: Must take root in mineral veins and areas with abundant skeletons...]

[Yield: One harvest per year; the ribs can be removed after maturity]

[Information: Contains the spiritual essence of Jade Bone, capable of strengthening and reshaping bones; a sufficient quantity of Jade Bone Grass can even regenerate broken bones...]

Ji Xuan never expected to be so lucky this time. During one exploration trip, he found two kinds of spiritual plants he needed in one world, and both of them were bronze-grade.

He was still pondering how to take down the Dark Cavern.

No matter what, the Snowdrop Spider Clan has one Silver Rank, thirteen Bronze Rank, and nearly a thousand Iron Rank. No matter how you look at it, the current Xishan Snake Clan and Cherry Blossom Spirit Clan can't possibly defeat them.

Due to the suppression of the world's consciousness, it was already the limit that He could protect the two races and allow them to fight freely in the dark caverns.

But He was unwilling to let Ji Xuan give up so easily.

Unexpectedly, the Snowy Spider-Man put on a good show for Him.

Although the internal strife He had hoped for did not occur in the end, a new priesthood was born.

The existence below the level of gods is unclear, and not all divine offices are formed by the gods themselves.

At least for Ji Xuan and the other demigods of the new era, certain worlds with rich origins and unique environments also give birth to new divine offices through probability.

Some of these are due to the condensation of the rules of the void realm, but many more are due to the fall of the gods of the old era. Their shattered divine fragments were scattered, some of which carried broken divine runes.

These fragments of divinity are like seeds. Once they receive sufficient nourishment from the source, there is a high probability that they will complete the divine office. Most of the divine offices that are born are only lower-level divine offices.

In fact, the Corruption Divine Office is not suitable for Ji Xuan, but as long as he can obtain it in the end, Ji Xuan can use the origin of the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm to refine it.

After stripping away the rules of corruption, only the nutrients of the rules remain.

With these, the Divine Realm of Mountains and Seas can certainly give birth to new divine positions suitable for Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan was about to make a move, but stopped abruptly.

In His perception, three auras were rapidly approaching from afar.

"As expected, the emergence of a divine being has caused such a great stir, how could I be the only one who sensed it?" Ji Xuan remarked.

The ripples of the corrosive divine power had spread to an unknown distance, and any demigod who sensed it would know what that meant.

In the blink of an eye, three beams of light descended upon the place.
