Deities: Rulers of Nature

The consequences of that brief clash were not limited to Zhang Jiang's elimination; the aftershocks of the battle between the gods have spread far and wide.

The shattered celestial bodies in the sky were completely destroyed, and the ground was almost knocked down as well. Even so, the ground was now covered with thousands upon thousands of cracks.

"boom!"

Finally, the ground began to crumble, a violent roar resounded, and then it collapsed, breaking through the barrier of the seven-level underground cavern and leaving behind huge pits.

The collapse of the rock strata exposed the Spider-Man's lair in the center of the seventh level for the first time. However, instead of sunlight, countless falling rocks shone down on them, forcing Kester, who was still studying the Divine Rune Corps, to take action.

As a Gold-rank transcendent being, Kester easily dealt with the falling rocks, but he was not in a good mood because the gazes of the three gods had all turned to him, or rather, to the corrupting priest beside him.

Looking down from his vantage point, Li Tong's eyes flashed with fervor upon seeing the exposed divine positions.

"This is the divine order born from the dark caverns!" He murmured softly, his voice filled with undisguised covetousness.

Before his arrival, Li Tong was actually quite confident.

His retinue of Rainbow Octopus-men achieved absolute faith, and the immense faith value enabled Him to convert a considerable amount of divine power.

Li Tong didn't think he was the strongest, but he couldn't be a pushover either.

The battle just now poured cold water on Li Tong, making him completely calm down. Both Ji Xuan and Tony were stronger than him, and their kin were also much more powerful than the octopus people.

Li Tong knew that he was already out of the running for divine office unless Ji Xuan and Tony fought to the death.

But how could that be? Nobody's a fool. It's more likely that those two will get rid of Him first.

Is it better to stay and gamble on luck, but with a very high probability of following in Zhangjiang's footsteps... or to cut losses in time and evacuate while the losses to Him and His kin are still relatively small?

Actually, there's no need to hesitate. If given the chance, Li Tong wouldn't mind giving it a shot, but...

"Gentlemen, I'm leaving!"

Li Tong broke the silence, choosing to cut his losses in time.

As a demigod, He possesses an almost endless lifespan, so why should He care about gains and losses in the short term? As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

On the contrary, if one ends up like Zhang Jiang, it will be difficult to seize opportunities again.

Seeing that Ji Xuan and Tony did not intend to stop him, Li Tong directly sensed all the still-living iridescent octopus-men in the cave through the Thread of Faith. Then, with a wave of his hand, one by one, the spheres covered by seawater floated out and were collected by Li Tong.

After doing all this, Li Tong didn't even glance at the Corruption God again. Ripples spread across his body as he broke through the crystal wall and vanished into the void.

"A smart guy," Tony exclaimed.

Tony's mind was constantly locked on Li Tong, and if Li Tong made the slightest move, Tony's attack would immediately follow.

Ji Xuan was doing the same thing. To conserve divine power, He could let Li Tong leave, but if He secretly wanted to reap the rewards at the end, that would be absolutely impossible.

"You greedy robbers!"

"The very venomous spider god who once besieged us now seeks to steal His relics..."

For Kester, that time was just like this moment.

His eight eyes were fixed on the two figures suspended in the air, and curses poured from his mouth.

"How annoying."

Ji Xuan shifted his gaze from the priest to Kester, and with his all-knowing eye sweeping over him, all of Kester's information appeared in Ji Xuan's mind.

"Nonsense."

With a slight movement of his finger, Ji Xuan sent a pure point of light to Kester's brow. The cursing stopped abruptly. Kester didn't even realize what had happened before his massive body turned into ashes that scattered with the wind.

Ji Xuan withdrew his finger. There was an insurmountable gap between the Bronze Rank and the Gold Rank, but the same was true between the Gold Rank and the Demigod. It was no joke that all beings below the gods were mere ants.

Tony, standing to the side, didn't even flinch at Ji Xuan's casual annihilation. In his eyes, the majesty of the gods was not to be desecrated. If Ji Xuan hadn't made the move, he would have crushed that little bug himself.

At this moment, Ji Xuan discovered something interesting: after Kester was completely annihilated, a new thread of faith crossed the void and connected to Him.

Furthermore, their initial faith was quite high; they were true believers from the outset.

Name: Carlos

[Race: Snow Spider Clan]

[Talents: Spider Web, Frost Poison]

【age:-】

[Class: Warlock]

[Potential: Bronze+]

[Level: 25 (Bronze)]

[Physical Fitness: 8]

【Strength: 7】

[Agility: 8]

【Spirit: 16】

[Skills: Web manipulation, silk manipulation...]

[Information: The candidate for the Grand Mistress of the Snowdrop Spider Clan may eventually break through the bloodline level limitations on her own...]

With his all-knowing eye scanning the area, Ji Xuan immediately understood what was going on.

He never expected that what was originally just a casual killing of Kester would yield such an unexpected gain.

With Carlos as a follower among the Snowy Spidermen, if things go well, another intelligent race will be added to the Mountain and Sea God Realm.

However, we can deal with that later; the most important thing now is to deal with Tony.

"I have a suggestion. How about we split the Corruption Cleric and the Underdark equally?" Tony said with a smile.

This is a lie. Tony's purpose was twofold: to buy time and to secretly accumulate strength.

Having already worked together before (though not exactly together), Tony had a certain understanding of Ji Xuan's strength. Even if Ji Xuan was stronger than him, he wouldn't be much stronger; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Li Tong leave, nor would he be confronting him now.

In the racial wars within the cave, His retinue was generally stronger than the snake people and that flying race.

If time is delayed, and fewer and fewer members of Ji Xuan's clan survive, then Ji Xuan's situation will become more passive.

However, Ji Xuan did not respond, leaving Tony to perform a one-man show.

Tony felt offended by Ji Xuan's calm gaze, and the corners of his mouth turned downwards.

"So confident, let's have a match and see."

Before Tony could finish speaking, the accumulated divine power surged forth, condensing into a golden spear in his hand.

This spear was entirely formed from divine power, and its power was considerable. In the next second, Tony and the spear transformed into a streak of light and attacked Ji Xuan.

If Li Tong or Zhang Jiang were facing this shot, they would most likely not be able to dodge it.

Unfortunately, Tony attacked Ji Xuan.

Just as Tony's spear was about to pierce him, Ji Xuan's figure vanished, turning into a shower of falling leaves.

Tony's attack missed, but he himself was scratched by the falling leaves, leaving bloody marks on his body.

Simply dodging was clearly not Ji Xuan's style. In the instant Tony was stunned, several divine power vines condensed in the void and wrapped around Tony.

A knowing glint flashed in Tony's eyes. Ever since he witnessed Ji Xuan's move, he had been on guard.

A golden ring emanated from Tony's body; it was the Resistant Ring.

The divine ring not only forcibly pushed all the vines away a distance, but also put them into a brief state of paralysis.

Tony himself transformed into a streak of light once more, calmly leaving the encirclement.
