Leis Jing

Otherwise, he would have been even more shocked.

The battle continued, golden fist shadows and purple beast silhouettes clashing endlessly.

Under Leis Jing's utterly stunned gaze, Hermes slowly closed his eyes.

But his fists did not stop!

The law fluctuations contained within the golden fist shadows seemed to condense into tangible form.

"Boom~!"

Until the final punch!

The Purple Crystal Monster Leader exploded violently, scattering into a pile of debris, while Hermes stood beside the shattered remains.

His eyes still closed, his body flickering with a peculiar rhythmic sensation.

"You, big guy..."

Leis Jing was about to speak.

"Jingjing, don't disturb him."

A gentle voice appeared directly in his mind.

"If you still want to be friends with this man, just wait quietly for him to emerge from his epiphany."

In the valley, Hermes' ultimate move, Mist Shadow Heavy, had not dissipated either.

Though the gravity had stopped increasing, the gravity field formed by the Yellow Sand Domain combined with Mist Shadow Heavy was truly not something an ordinary divine lifeform could endure.

"Urgh~!"

Trist had already begun to spit blood. He was just lying on the ground, not under any direct attack, but the extreme gravity had already taken half his life.

His muscles trembled all over!

Every inch of his bones began to emit cracking sounds.

"Am... I going to die?"

Trist felt utterly aggrieved.

"I don't even... know who's killing me?"

In his heart, he knew that the powerhouse fighting the Purple Crystal Monster had no intention of killing him.

All the bones in his body were shattered. Trist felt like his skull was about to be crushed flat.

If his skull broke, the Divine Spark fused within it would hardly survive. Under the current terrifying gravity, even the soul inside the Divine Spark would not be preserved.

Indeed, the Divine Spark was almost the hardest substance in the Coiling Dragon World.

Except for rare special treasures like Supreme Artifacts and Supreme God Tokens.

But the soul inside the Divine Spark was not. As long as the Divine Spark was exposed, even a Lower God could easily scatter the soul within it.

"Hahaha~!"

Trist was already waiting for death, but unexpectedly, the terrifying pressure on him suddenly vanished.

Then, laughter that shook the surrounding space rang out.

"I've achieved it! I've finally achieved the Grand Fusion of three profound mysteries!"

Hermes was truly delighted.

"How long has it been? From becoming a god to fusing two profound mysteries and becoming a Middle God, and now to the Grand Fusion of three profound mysteries of the Great Earth Law—just a few thousand years."

At this moment, he finally realized the power of the talent cap of four fusions displayed on his Talent Panel.

"What difference is this from riding a rocket in cultivation?" That was Hermes' most genuine feeling right now.

When a person is happy, everything they see seems pleasing.

Hermes now looked at Leis Jing without the previous envy, jealousy, or hatred.

Yes, having a Sovereign God mother was indeed formidable, but Old Black here wasn't bad either.

The future wasn't without the possibility of achieving Grand Perfection.

"Swoosh~!"

A bottle of Divine Power Potion flew directly out of Hermes' Space Ring.

It splashed like a shower!

Dripping onto Trist's shattered divine body.

"Sizzle~!"

That three-eyed merchant hadn't lied either. Though this wasn't a potion refined from true divine power, its recovery effect was nearly the same.

It was equivalent to condensing the elemental energy of Hell into a thousandfold essence. As long as the divine body hadn't completely collapsed, and as long as Trist still had a shred of soul consciousness.

He could recover.

"Huff, huff, huff~!"

His divine body had only recovered a small portion; the remaining injuries could be healed automatically by absorbing energy from the Divine Power Ocean.

There was no need for a Divine Power Potion.

After a short while.

Trist's divine body was about seventy to eighty percent restored, at least enough for normal movement.

He immediately rose and bowed to Hermes, preparing to thank him for sparing his life.

"Thank you, milord~!"

Then he froze on the spot.

"A Middle God..."

Trist clearly sensed that Hermes was only a Middle God.

But he dared not speak, merely standing there dumbfounded.

"No need to be so shocked. What's your name?"

Bamer flew over to Trist's side at once and said.

Gently pulling along this poor soul who had been trapped in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range for hundreds of thousands of years.

"Milord is a Middle God, yet you're already a Five-star Demon, and you have a Six-star Demon like him as a follower?"

Trist transmitted his voice.

At the same time, he stared at Hermes with an incredulous expression, who was currently locking eyes with Leis Jing.

"My name is Leis Jing. What's yours?"

In the end, Leis Jing was the first to break the awkward silence.

He took the initiative to ask.

"Leis Jing? Hello, I'm Hermes, from the Great Earth God Realm."

Hermes understood that Leis Jing had the heart of a youth and was also someone who valued loyalty.

As long as one had sufficient strength, it was easy to befriend this guy.

Making friends with Leis Jing was absolutely a win.

"The Great Earth God Realm? I've never even left the Purple Crystal Mountain Range!"

After hearing Hermes' introduction, Leis Jing's face indeed showed a look of longing.

From birth until now, Leis Jing had never ventured beyond the million-mile expanse of the Purple Crystal Mountain Range.

Let alone cross realms for adventure?

Add to that the fact that Hermes had just bare-handedly crushed the Purple Crystal Monster Leader, which had the strength of a Seven-star Demon.

Now, Leis Jing's gaze toward Hermes was filled with admiration.

Such was the benefit of strength.

If Hermes had been as weak as Trist, struggling under the pursuit of the Purple Crystal Monsters, Leis Jing probably wouldn't have given him a second glance.

"Is that so?"

Hermes had no reason to let a big spender like Leis Jing slip away.

"Haha, I happen to have collected quite a few Projection Crystal Balls from the Great Earth God Realm. Let me show you."

With his deliberate efforts to befriend him, Leis Jing was quickly drawn in.

With the supreme power of the Purple Thorn Sovereign God, Leis Jing could naturally have as many Projection Crystal Balls as he wanted.

But compared to Hermes, the Purple Thorn Sovereign God didn't even rank.

Because Hermes collected Projection Crystal Balls not only to gather intelligence on strong experts, but also for entertainment.

That's right, entertainment!

In his previous life on Blue Star, Hermes had been steeped in the endless audio and visual media of the internet.

Reborn in the Coiling Dragon World, from the moment he gained self-awareness, he wanted to amass a large collection of this world's Projection Crystal Balls.

From the Projection Crystal Balls of Hell and the Great Earth God Realm that Hermes had seen, they could already be called 'technology.'

Projection Technology!

Although the foundation of Projection Technology was merely a seventh-rank water-type spell, In terms of application, Projection Technology had blossomed into countless forms, far beyond just recording battles between experts.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful!"

The Projection Crystal Balls worth Hermes' special collection naturally all had specific value.

For a brat like Leis Jing, battle projections were a must, but what drew him more was the novelty.

"By the way, you said earlier that you've achieved great completion in fusing three profound mysteries?"

Hermes was deliberately trying to cozy up to Leis Jing, but wasn't Leis Jing doing the same with him?

"Jingjing!"

The voice of the Purple Crystal Sovereign rang out directly in Leis Jing's ear.

He was long used to it.

"Test this Hermes from the Great Earth God Realm—ask him if he's a Sovereign's Emissary."
