Reverend Insanity: I Had Already Become an Overgod Before the System Activated

Of course, that was also because those powerful High Gods looked down on the Northwest Desert Region. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for a Middle God to build a city here.

Chenshi City had been built using a unique gray stone from the Northwest Desert Region. This gray stone was called Sinking Stone, and it was incomparably hard. Most remarkably, Sinking Stone possessed an extremely special ability: it could resist the erosion of desert sandstorms.

The sandstorms of the Northwest Desert were an extremely common natural phenomenon here. Even Saint Domain experts could lose their way when encountering a powerful sandstorm, eventually exhausting their Dou Qi or magical power and perishing.

Therefore, for Saint Domain lifeforms, joining Chenshi City was the best choice for survival.

At the center of Chenshi City stood a small Sinking Stone Mountain. A small palace dozens of meters tall had been built against the mountain, and it was the residence of Chenshi City's City Lord.

Inside the main hall, seven or eight beautiful Elf Clan women dressed revealingly danced gracefully in the center. As their clothes fluttered, tantalizing glimpses of pale flesh appeared and vanished, creating a captivating sight.

On the main seat, a bearded man with a languid expression half-squinted as he openly swept his gaze over the beautiful Elf Clan women below.

Four more people sat in the seats beside the main seat, sipping fine wine as they comfortably watched the dance before them. Their eyes were filled with greed as well.

Beautiful Elf Clan women were extremely rare in the Plane Prison. Even for them, obtaining one was very difficult.

The four people beneath the main seat were all Lower God experts of Chenshi City.

Soon, the dance ended. The Elf Clan women gave slight bows, secretly cast flirtatious glances at the people around them, then slowly withdrew.

Prompted by the Elf Clan women's "hints," the men around them grew even more restless. Their gazes followed the women until they disappeared before the men slowly looked away.

The four exchanged glances. None of them had expected the City Lord to obtain so many beautiful Elf Clan women.

The bearded man on the main seat showed no displeasure at their expressions. Instead, he burst into laughter, raised his wine cup, looked at them, and spoke in a rough voice. "All right. You have followed me, Kushi, for quite some time. Each of you may choose one of these Elf Clan women."

Upon hearing the bearded man's words, the four were overjoyed and hurriedly rose to their feet. "Thank you for your reward, City Lord!"

Not to mention Elf Clan women of such high quality—even ordinary lifeforms with some beauty were extremely rare.

Kushi casually waved his hand and swept his gaze over them. Their excited expressions gradually restrained themselves. They were not fools; they understood clearly that under such circumstances, the City Lord must have something for them to do.

After a pause, Kushi looked at them with a faint smile and said directly, "You are all experts of my Chenshi City. You deserve these rewards."

"However."

Kushi spoke unhurriedly, then abruptly changed course and said directly, "I need a Divine Spark!"

As soon as Kushi finished speaking, the four instantly sobered up. Sweat even appeared on their foreheads. What did the City Lord mean?

Could it be that the City Lord wanted their Divine Sparks?

That was it. Kushi's son had remained at the Saint Domain for nearly one hundred years and had never been able to break through. Could Kushi now be planning to have his son refine a Divine Spark?

The four were exceedingly nervous. Though all four were Lower Gods, they had no ability whatsoever to resist before Kushi. If Kushi wanted to kill them, it would be far too easy.

However, they still harbored a trace of hope in their hearts.

After all, Chenshi City was not the only city in the Northwest Desert. There were other cities nearby. The reason several cities could coexist was because their strengths were roughly equal.

If Kushi killed them, it would be an enormous loss to Chenshi City. It might even prompt experts from other cities to seize the opportunity and devour Chenshi City.

Kushi clearly understood their thoughts. This was also what he had been worried about all along. But when he thought of his son's situation, he could no longer sit still. Those who did not become gods were ultimately ants.

For a time, the great hall fell into an eerie silence.

Just as Kushi was about to continue speaking, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked toward the outside of the hall.

The four also looked in that direction.

"Someone became a god near Chenshi City?"

Kushi immediately realized that this was the fluctuation caused by the descent of the Heaven and Earth Rule.

When the Heaven and Earth Rule descended, they naturally did not dare release their Spiritual Sense. However, the Heaven and Earth Rule soon vanished, and they remembered the direction.

Afterward, Kushi extended his Spiritual Sense toward the location where the Heaven and Earth Rule had descended.

A newly ascended God level expert? Two Saint Domains?

Kushi's eyes instantly brightened. Looking at the four, he no longer mentioned the previous matter and said with a smile, "Lite, remain in Chenshi City. The rest of you, come with me!"

Robbery and slaughter were the most common things in the Plane Prison. However, robbing a God level expert was no simple matter.

Yet newly ascended God level experts were generally at their weakest. Merely in accumulated divine power, they were vastly inferior to long-established God level experts.

Therefore, whenever someone newly ascended to godhood, it attracted many experts.

"Yes!"

The region where the Heaven and Earth Rule descended was very close to Chenshi City. The four had naturally released their Spiritual Sense as well, and bloodthirsty expressions appeared on their faces. Although they had been extremely nervous just now, they relaxed at this moment. The appearance of a newly ascended God level expert was indeed good news for them. At the very least, Kushi would not kill them.

Killing a newly ascended God level expert was far easier than killing them.

Especially since this newly ascended God level expert was already near Chenshi City. This was Chenshi City's opportunity.

As for resenting Kushi?

Before their strength surpassed Kushi's, they did not dare.

Moreover, they did not think there was anything improper about Kushi's actions, because this was the most common thing in the Plane Prison. Even if they were in Kushi's position, they would likely do much the same.

Northwest Desert, where the slanted giant stone stood.

"My lord, do you mean that even Lower Gods can fuse Profound Mysteries?"

Leilin could not help feeling excited. Before this, he had never known that the God level realm could be so wondrous. Fusing Profound Mysteries into one—what kind of realm was that?

Morit casually nodded. "Correct. Some fellows with great talent and fortune can even fuse Profound Mysteries while still in the Saint Domain. Of course, during the Saint Domain stage, the two Profound Mysteries do not need to be completely fused for one to have a chance of becoming a god."

"Fusing Profound Mysteries in the Saint Domain..."

A gleam flashed through Leilin's eyes, and his Fists involuntarily clenched tighter.

He had never believed his cultivation talent to be inferior to anyone else's, but Morit's words now stirred a desire to compete within him.

After all, he had never considered such matters while in the Saint Domain. Nor had anyone ever told him about them during that stage. Otherwise, he would certainly have tried to fuse Profound Mysteries while still in the Saint Domain.

But from Morit's words, fusing Profound Mysteries was clearly more difficult than comprehending them. Yet since someone could accomplish it, that meant some people's cultivation talent was even greater than his.

Seeing Leilin's expression, Xius and Burgess both knew that their Third Brother would likely cultivate even more diligently from now on. They understood Leilin too well.

Of course, Leilin did not know at this moment that using such things to judge the strength of a person's talent was not accurate.

"Besides comprehending the Scorching Profound Mystery, have you also gained some understanding of the Fire Element?"

Morit suddenly asked without apparent reason.

To comprehend intermediate or advanced Profound Mysteries within a law, one did not necessarily need to completely understand the most basic Profound Mysteries. However, one generally needed a certain degree of understanding of the most basic Profound Mysteries within the Various systems of laws.

Otherwise, even with the greatest talent, it was difficult to fully comprehend intermediate or advanced Profound Mysteries without any understanding of the foundational Profound Mysteries.

This was why many fellows who became gods through intermediate or advanced Profound Mysteries advanced to Middle Gods so quickly. The main reason was that, while in the Saint Domain, they had already gained a certain degree of understanding of the foundational elemental Profound Mysteries. When advancing from Lower God to Middle God, they were not fully comprehending an entirely new Profound Mystery.

They merely needed to fully understand the elemental Profound Mysteries they had not completely comprehended during the Saint Domain stage, and they could smoothly become Middle Gods.

"Yes."

Although Leilin did not know why Morit had asked, he still answered respectfully.

What he had initially comprehended was indeed the Fire Element Profound Mystery. However, by a stroke of luck, the Scorching Profound Mystery had entered the introductory stage. If the desert heat of the Plane Prison had not given him many insights, it would have been difficult for him to bring the Scorching Profound Mystery to completion. More likely, he would have become a god through the Fire Element Profound Mystery.

It could be said that his becoming a god through the Scorching Profound Mystery was greatly related to the desert heat of the Plane Prison.

"Hehe, since that is the case, I will demonstrate it personally once."

Morit suddenly chuckled.

He had originally planned to leave after finishing his explanation. However, he had noticed several ill-intentioned Guys from the beginning, and now they were flying toward this place. Since that was the case, he might as well give a demonstration.

Although he was currently the Light Divine Clone, the laws and Profound Mysteries comprehended by the Fire Element Divine Clone were naturally known by the Main Body as well. The Main Body merely needed to borrow some divine power from the Fire Element Divine Clone to unleash fire-element attacks.

Of course, since the Main Body was only borrowing the clone's divine power, the might might not even reach one-tenth of the Fire Element Divine Clone's.

But that was enough.

After all, he was merely demonstrating a technique involving fused Profound Mysteries. As for how much Leilin could comprehend, that was Leilin's own matter.

"A demonstration?"

Leilin was even more surprised.

Cultivation could hardly be taught, since every person's comprehension differed somewhat. But having an expert demonstrate a technique would be of great help to him. At the very least, it would give him a direction and save him many detours.

At the same time, Leilin could not help feeling astonished. Could the expert before him also be someone who had fused Profound Mysteries?!

Even a Middle God who fused Profound Mysteries could probably rival a High God level expert, right? Could this person actually be a High God level existence?!

Leilin was deeply shaken.

At that moment, Leilin's expression suddenly changed. His Eyes instantly turned toward the horizon, and he said gravely, "Big Brother, Second Brother, be careful! God level experts are coming!"

He had previously discovered several strands of Spiritual Sense. But now, the Spiritual Sense of three people had locked onto them continuously. After releasing his own Spiritual Sense, he discovered people rapidly flying toward them.

Upon hearing Leilin's words, Xius and Burgess immediately became alert as well.

"Watch carefully. I will only perform it once."

Morit did not care about Leilin's tension, and his voice carried no fluctuation.

Leilin, Xius, and Burgess could not help looking at Morit. For some reason, as they watched his figure, their nervousness actually faded somewhat.

The three did not know that, in order to let Leilin calmly watch his demonstration, Morit had secretly used some abilities from the Light Law.

Morit raised his hand. His right hand formed a palm, facing upward. Countless Fire Elements suddenly gathered above his jade-like palm, and as they gathered, the temperature around them began to soar.

Sensing this, surprise appeared on Leilin's face, followed by a deep frown.

Before becoming a god, he could gather some Fire Elements as well. But Fire Elements were merely one of the most basic natural elements, not actual flames. They could not possibly possess such temperatures.

To produce such heat, one had to condense the Fire Elements into flames.

Yet after the Fire Elements before him gathered, they themselves possessed this terrifying temperature. It was even higher than the temperature of flames.

Could this be the result of Profound Mystery Fusion?

At this moment, Leilin had completely forgotten about the God level experts flying toward them. His entire being was immersed in the "Fire Elements" Morit had displayed.

What terrifying talent...

When he saw Leilin nearly enter a state of enlightenment, Morit felt genuine shock toward Leilin for the first time.

A state of enlightenment was something one could only encounter by chance, and to cultivators, it was a tremendous opportunity. Leilin had only just become a god, yet merely by watching him perform one move, he could enter enlightenment. Even though Morit had secretly calmed him somewhat, such talent was truly frightening.

No wonder the Dominator cared about Leilin.

With his attention on Leilin, Morit casually waved his hand. The high-temperature Fire Elements in his palm instantly transformed into sand drifting across the sky and spread directly toward the four God level experts flying over.

It was like a gentle breeze carrying grains of sand.

Before the four could approach Leilin and the others, the instant they touched that peculiar wind, their consciousness remained in the previous second as they instantly evaporated from between heaven and earth. Only four Divine Sparks remained floating in the distance.

Even though Morit had merely used fire-element divine power, he still possessed the strength of a Seven-star Devil. Killing several Middle Gods and Lower Gods was simply too easy.

Then, with a movement of divine power, the four Divine Sparks flew into Morit's hand.

Leilin remained immersed in enlightenment, even closing his eyes tightly. His mind was filled with the scorching Fire Elements that had just rested above Morit's palm.

Xius and Burgess, on the other hand, watched Morit suddenly act before four Divine Sparks flew over from afar. Their expressions were so shocked that they could not contain themselves.

Had this lord already killed the people who came?!

And there had been four God level experts?!

Seeing Leilin completely immersed in enlightenment, a trace of admiration appeared in Morit's Golden eyes. He nodded, then tossed the Divine Sparks in his hand to Xius and Burgess. "These are for you. However, I advise you not to refine Divine Sparks unless it is your last resort."

After speaking, Morit glanced once more at Leilin, who was still in enlightenment, then directly transformed into a Light ray and vanished from the Northwest Desert Region.

As for Xius and Burgess, he had only offered that extra remark because of Leilin's talent. Whether they listened or not was their own matter.

Only after Morit left did Xius and Burgess react. Looking at the Divine Sparks in their hands, they still found it hard to believe what had just happened.

They had just been thrown into the Plane Prison when their Third Brother became a god, and they had even obtained four Divine Sparks!

Xius and Burgess were only Saint Domains at present. They did not know that among those four Divine Sparks was a Middle God Divine Spark!

Plane Prison, Northwest Desert Region.

The wind rose, and the sand stirred. Looking closely, countless small whirlwinds appeared and vanished across the sand. The most terrifying disaster in the desert region was the enormous storm formed by these small whirlwinds.
