Then let them offer their loyalty!

Perhaps sensing Zhiyan's gaze, the man in white turned to look at her, then smiled, "'Mending the Heavens,' a divine skill I inherited from the 'Origin of the World.' A mere trifle, not worth mentioning."

'Mending the Sky...' Zhiyan chewed on the name, giving the white-robed man a deep look.

For eighth-order deities, the celestial gods... have actually already been demystified.

After all, although their strength was incomparable to that of the gods, they could indeed see the stone slab in front of the temple of the gods.

Heavenly gods are also deities, only higher-ranking ones.

Therefore, when faced with a "reincarnation of a god," eighth-level experts will respect and be wary, but they will not be afraid.

Because... anyone who can become a god is a prodigy. But anyone who can reach the eighth rank is also a prodigy.

The only difference between the two sides is likely in terms of time and opportunity; otherwise, there is no essential difference.

This is also why various forces in the "Boundless Heart Sea" capture or enslave "reincarnated gods".

The eighth-tier being is not afraid of fallen gods. Because by the time the "reincarnated god" regains their strength, the eighth-tier being may have already become a god themselves.

The reason why the "gods" are so powerful is because of the "god techniques" they possess.

This is the innate divine skill bestowed upon them by the "Origin of the World" when they ascended to the status of gods.

This is also a key factor that distinguishes them from ordinary deities.

However, most, or rather the vast majority, of "reincarnations of gods" cannot carry "godly skills".

As it turned out, the man in white claimed that he now possessed "divine skills"...

Otherwise, he would have been the darling of the world, and even if he had perished, he would still have been reincarnated with "divine skills".

Otherwise... he would have already touched the threshold of becoming a god again without relying on the "divine status".

'This man is indeed a bit scary...'

Thinking this, Zhiyan couldn't help but perk up again.

At that moment, while Zhiyan and Baiyi were thinking different things, four people flew in from not far away.

There were three men and one woman. The woman had pink hair, wore a short T-shirt and hot pants, and her waist was so slender that it could be encircled with one hand, with beautiful lines.

The men were a pair of inseparable twins and a bald man whose body was covered in runes.

Clearly, this is the "Heavenly Punishment Alliance" four-person group that has been eyeing Qiu Tu all this time.

Perhaps because they hadn't spotted Bai Yi and Zhi Yan, the four of them flew while chatting as if no one else was around. "Xin Duo, are you sure we should make our move now?"

I recommend a friend's book, *The Lord of Eternal Night*.

Chapter 643 The Great Battle! (Please give double monthly votes in the last half day!)

Upon hearing the female pirate Mela's words, the twins Sindo, while flying forward, said expressionlessly, "Yes."

"I've been keeping an eye on Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's situation these past two days."

"I feel like something's not right."

Upon hearing Xin Duo's words, the runes on the bald leader's face and head glowed slightly red. As he flew, he tilted his head and asked, "Something's not right? What do you feel is wrong?"

The twins, Xin Duo, their faces identical, turned in unison to the bald leader and said, "I suspect that the recent news about Zhao Ji refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' is actually a smokescreen."

Both Xin Duo had extremely serious expressions on their faces. "These past two days, I've been calculating the speed at which Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are refining the area."

"Although they have been trying their best to control it, I still noticed that the speed of their refining area has increased significantly."

"For example, it used to take them three hours to pry away a piece of the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart' area. These past few days, it takes less than two hours for a piece to disappear."

"For example, there used to be 50 vehicles transporting disaster relief materials, but now the number of vehicles transporting disaster relief materials has increased to 80."

"Don't underestimate the small change in quantity; it represents a completely different meaning."

Hearing Sindo's words, Mela chimed in, "Could it be that their strength has increased, or that they've become more skilled through practice?"

The two Sindos shook their heads in unison, and he said, "That's possible."

"But... just yesterday, this situation took another strange turn."

He glanced at Mela expressionlessly.

"The time it took Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji to refine the area suddenly changed back to three hours from two and a half hours."

"However, the number of vehicles transporting disaster relief materials gradually increased from 80 to 120."

Upon hearing the information revealed by Sindo, both the bald leader and the female pirate Mela frowned slightly.

Mela seemed to have thought of something, and there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The bald leader, however, seemed a bit irritated after frowning.

The runes on his face and head flashed red light one moment and green light the next.

After a moment, he glared at Xin Duo and snapped, "Stop beating around the bush, what are you trying to say?!"

"Just say it."

The relationship between the two was clearly not that of a normal boss and subordinate, so Xin Duo didn't care.

He maintained his mechanical tone and said, "Boss, what I mean is actually very simple... this could very well be a conspiracy."

He said, "These past two days, other forces have been analyzing Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji. They suspect that Qiu Tu was thrown out as a smokescreen to attract everyone's attention."

"Qiu Tu's initial speed of refining a piece of the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' in the first three hours was merely a cover for Zhao Ji secretly increasing her strength."

"But what if... there are no smoke grenades at all?"

Xin Duo paused for a moment, then said, "What if Qiu Tu is truly gifted, possessing an unparalleled talent for refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region'?"

"Perhaps his true talent lies in the fact that he used to work in one area every three hours."

"He found this speed to be too alarming, so he deliberately had Zhao Ji cooperate with him to help him cover it up."

"Therefore, I suspect that in the last two days... he has most likely refined all the areas and started accumulating the concentration of 'Cataclysmic Power' in the controlled areas to increase the 'Regional Energy Level'."

He paused for a moment, then said, "That's why we had the strange phenomena of him becoming invisible, Zhao Ji stepping in to take the lightning, and the refining area's speed changing twice."

Upon hearing Xin Duo's words, the bald leader was utterly shocked: !

The runes on his face began to flash red, and he glared at Sindor, retorting, "How is this possible?"

"Three hours to refine a section of the 'Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts'."

"If what you say is true, then his refining speed is faster than even an eighth-tier being! Even faster than a 'reincarnated god' who received the blessing of the world's origin!"

"Is this his own talent?"

"Then he's not a 'celestial being' favored by the 'Origin of the World' anymore! He's directly the father of the 'Origin of the World'!"

"Boom!" As the bald leader uttered his arrogant words, the sky suddenly changed, and a muffled thunderclap resounded in their hearts.

This time, even Xin Duo, whose expression usually remained largely unchanged, couldn't help but have a sudden change in expression.

The bald boss's face was also filled with shock.

He looked up at the sky, sensed it quietly for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise, "It's actually a world sense?"

"How could it be so fast?"

He looked at Sindo beside him and asked, "Has the collapse of the 'Isolation Mountains' accelerated again?"

Upon hearing the bald leader's words, Xin Duo hesitated for a moment before saying, "My subordinates reported that they have been speeding up the process, but there are no other abnormalities or more obvious changes."

“Normally, ‘World Sensing’ shouldn’t appear at a time like this.”

"Once 'world resonance' occurs, it proves that the two realms have reached the final stage of fusion, and the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart' is gradually taking over the dominant position."

At this point, he closed his eyes and made a prediction, then speculated, "If this pace continues, the time for the two domains to merge will most likely be shortened to two months, or even one and a half months."

After saying that, he glanced at the bald leader again and asked, "Boss... shall we still make a move?"

It's no wonder that Sindo would ask this question, because "world perception" is not an ordinary phenomenon.

According to research by numerous forces in the "core area":

The world is divided into two parts: the "material world" and the "spiritual world".

The world in which all ordinary living beings live is generally the "material world".

The "material world" is composed of basic matter, and therefore is incredibly stable. The "spirit" of ordinary beings has little impact on the "material world."

Therefore, most of the "material world" has no ghosts or gods, no supernatural powers, and no cause and effect—because most of the "material world" is too stable, and spiritual power simply cannot influence it.

Of course, if there is a stable "material world", then there must also be an unstable "material world".

Some "material worlds" have relatively light mass and relatively fragile material structures.

At such times, the beings in that world experience less "suppression" and their "spiritual power" is naturally stronger.

With this mutual reinforcement, it is easy for some relatively weak strange abilities to emerge in those worlds.

Such a world is generally referred to as the "Primordial Low-Magic World".

In the beginning, the "material world" and the "spiritual world" coexisted peacefully, both in opposition and in harmony.

But later... as more and more intelligent beings were born, the situation gradually began to change.

As the number of intelligent beings increases, the total amount of spiritual energy in the world grows larger; with the souls and remains of deceased intelligent beings, the spiritual energy that overflows also increases.

Over time, the power of the "spiritual world" has also become increasingly strong.

When the "spiritual world" becomes powerful, the "material world," which is already somewhat unstable, will be permeated and influenced.

And so... the spiritual power of those "primordial low-magic" worlds began to grow stronger and stronger. And the power system also began to become more and more powerful.

Ultimately... "Low Magic" became "Medium Magic", and "The End" became "High Magic".

Moreover... as more and more beings with extraordinary powers begin to use them in the "material world," spiritual power is further infiltrating the "material world."

As a result, the snowball grew bigger and bigger, and the balance between the spiritual world and the material world gradually became unbalanced.

Ultimately, a qualitative change occurred after the "spiritual world" inadvertently devoured a weak "material world".

—The boundless sea of ​​the heart... was born.

With the birth of the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart," the "Origin of the World" began to awaken.

Although the "origin of the world" has no consciousness, it is the embodiment of the rules of the "world".

The "world" seeks its own advancement, so it instinctively begins to devour and merge more worlds, and gives rise to more rules to catalyze all of this.

As a result, deities, world offices, and so on came into being.

As mentioned before, the essence of gods and world officials is actually that of agents of the "world".

Therefore, they are the darlings of the "world," and their every word and action represents the "world's will."

This also means that as their rank and strength increase, these deities all have to be more cautious in their words and actions, as they are bound by divine authority.

After all, the "origin of the world" may not be able to sense what an ordinary being says or does.

However, the "Origin of the World" can sense everything an eighth-order deity says and does.

And don't forget that the "spiritual world" can possess all sorts of magical powers.

In the "material world," insulting the "world" is too difficult because the "material world" is too stable. Even if the "origin of the world" reacts, it cannot punish you.

But in the "spiritual world," it's different; the "world's will" is everything. It's entirely possible for a bolt of lightning to strike you dead.

That's why he was so surprised when the bald boss misspoke and caused a change in the world—it means that the "edge area" is now dominated by the "boundless sea of ​​the mind".

This also means that the "material world" is collapsing... and the "core area" is rapidly engulfing the "peripheral area".

The reason Xinduo asked whether to stop was that once the "core area" successfully annexed the "peripheral area" in a short period of time, all forces in the "core area" could participate in the "Trial of the Gods".

Although the "Heavenly Punishment Alliance" ranks at the bottom among the top forces, it is still a top force and has the hope of competing for the "Godhood".

In this situation, killing Qiu Tu to get the eggs, and attracting the attention of other forces, might be like losing the watermelon while picking up a sesame seed.

At this moment, upon hearing Xin Duo's words, the bald leader guessed what Xin Duo meant. Therefore, the expression on his face kept changing, as if he was hesitating and thinking.

After a moment, he finally made up his mind!

He waved his hand, then said with a fierce look and a ferocious expression, "Keep going!"

"Our strength was never the strongest to begin with, and even if the two domains accelerate their integration, the chances are slim. We might as well secure the benefits we can get our hands on first."
