Third Generation God Body

"Death God Karl has always been researching the Pangu Civilization and the Ultimate Fear. He may have had a hand in the Taotie Civilization's invasion this time," Lianfeng said.

"And this person appeared out of nowhere at just the right time, and he possesses Space-time Technology that we have yet to master. It's highly likely he's an Old God of the Pangu Civilization, resurrected by Death God Karl."

Dukao frowned slightly. "You think this person is probably similar to that other great deity?"

Lianfeng nodded. "Based on what we know so far, that's certainly a strong possibility."

"During our previous contact, he hinted to Qiangwei that he'd seen two beings like himself in this world's history. They should be the two gods we know about."

"These mysterious great deities often carry the accumulated wisdom of an Ancient Civilization. It's entirely possible for them to possess Precognition Technology that surpasses our technological limits."

In the past, Death God Karl had also resurrected Old Gods from other eras, such as Crocodile God Soton, who descended a thousand years ago and was destroyed by the Angels.

Teacher Wu of Super Seminary had also deciphered a Super Gene Code and modified it, creating the Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong, as he was known today.

They weren't sure what had happened with Crocodile God Soton. After all, he'd been burned by the Angels not long after he descended.

But Deno Three couldn't calculate the upper limit of the Fighting Buddha's combat strength!

A thousand years ago, Sun Wukong had single-handedly driven back the Lieyang Tiandao and killed tens of thousands of Lieyang soldiers. Pan Zhen, the Lieyang Guardian God, hadn't dared to fight him head-on. By the end of the battle, Wukong had nearly wiped out the entire Lieyang army, leaving Lieyang severely weakened once again after a millennium of recovery.

Even now, they had no idea just how powerful Sun Wukong was.

"Could he be a smokescreen?" Dukao asked suspiciously.

Lianfeng shook her head. "That seems unlikely. The Taotie Civilization is invading Earth, and the Angels have arrived too. If he's connected to Death God Karl, the Angels will definitely come after him. According to Super Seminary's records, Death God Karl once caused the civilizations of several planets to perish for his experiments, creating the desolate Dark Nebula we see today. That's a grave violation of the Justice Order."

"Death God Karl has always hidden on the edge of the Known Universe, though, and the Angels are too busy fighting the demons to deal with him."

"But if there's direct evidence that Death God Karl instigated the Taotie Civilization's invasion of Earth—or that he intends to bring about another catastrophe like the one that created the Dark Nebula—the Angels won't tolerate it."

"If this person is a smokescreen, then Karl is asking for trouble."

Dukao frowned slightly. "In other words, the key issue now is figuring out exactly what abilities this person has, why he came to Earth, and what his purpose was in predicting these events."

As he spoke, Dukao looked around at the others, then finally turned to Du Qiangwei.

"Qiangwei, you've been in contact with him before. Do you have any more information?"

Du Qiangwei lowered her head slightly, lost in thought. "He said his abilities were based on a form of Primal Divine Power Encoding. He saw the future through something called Kongshi Realm Divine Power."

"Divine Power Encoding should be a kind of Bottom Layer Code unique to their civilization," Lianfeng said.

"Other than the Kongshi Realm Divine Power Encoding that lets him see the future, did he mention any other kinds of Divine Power Encoding?"

"He said there were seven others," Du Qiangwei replied.

"He didn't say what they were or use them, so I don't know."

Dukao fell silent for a moment, then looked up. "Qiangwei, keep trying to make contact with him, but be very careful. If he really is connected to Death God Karl or has some hidden agenda, we need to take the initiative."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, in a hotel somewhere in Juxia City.

Si Yao was fast asleep when the cold, mechanical voice of a woman in his mind woke him.

[Ping!]

[Your lie convinced Lena, Du Qiangwei, Lianfeng, Dukao, Jace, Sun Wukong, and others. Your identity as an Old God of the Pangu Civilization has been successfully established. You have gained 100,000 True Points.]

[Current True Points: 100,860]

"Hm?"

Si Yao's mind cleared in an instant.

He was a Transmigrator. He'd accidentally worked himself to death after staying up all night for overtime.

Half a year ago, he'd arrived on Earth in this Super Seminary Universe. He'd thought he'd end up as cannon fodder in the coming War of the Gods, but unexpectedly, he'd obtained a Super Gene Seed after transmigrating.

[Seed of Delusion]. It seemed to be the ultimate legacy of some Lost Civilization. Its effects were somewhat like a variant of the Void Controller, but rather than directly rewriting reality, it influenced reality through "Information Pollution" and "Cognitive Anchoring."

More specifically, it had a unique process for doing so.

Spread a lie. That was the first step the weaver had to take: deliberately creating false information, a concept, an event, or a state—in other words, a lie.

Anchor belief. This was the crucial step. The "target" had to receive the lie and form the belief that it was true. And the deeper the belief, the more people who believed it, and the greater the believers' energy—in other words, the strength of their consciousness—the stronger the effect.

Distort reality. Once the strength of belief—that is, Belief Power—reached a certain threshold, the lie would take root and sprout in reality like a seed in fertile soil, then begin to distort reality and transform into "truth." The extent of the transformation was proportional to the total Belief Power.

Generate True Points. The extent and scope to which a lie successfully distorted reality would be converted into "True Points." Like currency in a game, they were the Seed of Delusion's energy currency and upgrade resource.

In short, it all came down to eight words: Deceive Heaven and Gods, turn falsehood into truth!

"So this is what a Third Generation God Body feels like..." Si Yao slowly opened his eyes. Starlight seemed to shimmer in them as he sat up and felt the surging, boundless power within him. It gave him a sense of control unlike anything he'd ever experienced, as if the entire world were in his hands.

Of course, he knew perfectly well that this was an illusion of grandeur.

Half a year ago, soon after he arrived, people from Super Seminary had noticed him. They'd immediately sent Du Qiangwei, with her powerful mobility, to make contact. That had worked out well for him, since he hadn't needed to figure out how to approach them himself.

Over the course of half a year, he'd used Du Qiangwei to plant the suspicion in Super Seminary that he was an Old God of the Pangu Civilization.

Then, the day before yesterday, with the help of the [Seed of Delusion], he learned that the Angels and Taotie were about to arrive. He leaked the information to Du Qiangwei as if it were just a casual remark.

Now, because of his behavior over the past six months and the information about the Angels and Taotie arriving, Super Seminary truly believed he was an Old God from the Pangu Civilization, on the same level as Soton and Sun Wukong. And he'd gotten what he wanted: he really did possess a Third Generation God Body.

Of course, it was only a Whiteboard Third Generation God Body, with nothing beyond the basic configuration: freedom from the traditional limitation of bodily death, an energy system to sustain life, powerful resistance to attacks, strong computational ability, and Self-Repair Ability. But he would still face a lethal threat from Flame Grade weapons.
