The Elevation of the Divine Spark

Wodema was scared out of his wits.

He abandoned his Believers outright and fled in panic.

Though his move was so abrupt that no one could have expected it, Ye Yu had been watching him the whole time.

When he saw Wodema turn and run, he let out a cold sneer.

"Trying to run?"

"Did you ask me?"

As his words fell, Ye Yu moved, raised his arm, and punched out fiercely!

Boom!

In an instant, a deafening roar tore through the void.

It sounded like the thunderous engine of a plane taking off—shocking, terrifying!

The players locked in battle with the giant bats all jumped in fright.

They instinctively looked up at the sky.

And there was Ye Yu, like a cannonball, hurtling with unstoppable force toward the fleeing Wodema.

With a crack, Ye Yu's fist slammed into Wodema.

Time seemed to freeze.

The two of them hung motionless in midair, the scene frozen still.

About a second later, a sharp crack rang out.

Wodema's body exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood that slowly scattered into the world.

Ye Yu withdrew his fist, clasped his hands behind his back, and floated in the air.

His face showed neither joy nor sorrow as he glanced at the dissipating blood mist.

"No matter your talent, no matter your noble bloodline, in my eyes, you're nothing but a Collapsing Fist!"

As his words landed, the players froze for a moment.

Then they erupted into earth-shaking cheers.

"Move aside, Bro Yu's about to show off!"

"Haha, I love it when Bro Yu flexes!"

"666, every time it counts, Bro Yu comes through with a flex!"

"I don't bow to anyone but Bro Yu!"

"Damn right, Bro Yu flexes without a sound, so natural. I, Patrick Star, hereby dub Bro Yu the Fifth Flex King!"

"Fifth Flex King? There are others?"

"Bro, you're out of the loop. Haven't you heard of the Four Flex Kings: Dongbei Xuan, West Zhang Xuan, South Qi Ye, and North Xu Que? From now on, we've gotta add our Bro Yu!"

The players genuinely liked this "NPC" Ye Yu.

Their talk of flexing was just teasing him.

Wodema's fall boosted the players' morale, and they swarmed the Blood Bat Race Believers like a tide.

The remaining Believers, already shattered by their Ancestor God's fall, had no chance.

How could they hold off the ferocious players?

In no time, every Blood Bat Race Believer was slaughtered.

The ground was littered with giant bat corpses, scattered everywhere.

And so, this Divine War ended in Ye Yu's complete victory.

Watching from the void, Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This Divine War had been far easier than he'd imagined.

Even Wodema was pitifully weak before him—

He couldn't even withstand a single punch, falling to Divine Fall.

"Congratulations to the Yanhuang Players! Your bravery has successfully repelled the American invaders led by Wodema!"

"You have won this Nation War! Cheer, Yanhuang Players!"

The moment the announcement rang out, all the players raised their arms and roared.

This trial Nation War—they, the Yanhuang Players, had won!

"Nation War is freaking awesome!"

"Yeah, especially in a 100% realistic game. Too bad this war was small-scale!"

"Didn't the announcement say it was a trial? The real Nation War isn't open yet!"

"I think we can be satisfied. Let's just look forward to the Nation War rewards, hahaha!"

"Same here!"

The players were buzzing with excitement, chatting among themselves.

In the void, Ye Yu shook his head.

He ignored the excited players, his gaze fixed on the blood mist that had nearly dissipated entirely.

He could already clearly see the crystal-like Spark.

"By devouring Wodema's Spark, my Divine Domain's area among new gods can almost reach its limit!"

"In the coming days, it's time to continue refining the Immortal Path and boost the players' strength."

"The players are still too weak right now. I can't have to personally intervene in every Divine War from now on."

After a brief pause, Ye Yu roughly mapped out his plans for the near future.

Just then, Wodema's Spark spun around in the void with a soft whir.

Then it shot straight toward Ye Yu.

As the Spark merged into Ye Yu's body.

He felt a buzz in his head, as if a bell had rung.

The next moment, he clearly saw Wodema's Divine Domain, over a thousand square kilometers, fusing with his own.

"Let's see what this haul brings!"

After fully merging the Spark, Ye Yu muttered to himself.

The character panel instantly appeared before him.

He skimmed past the irrelevant information.

His gaze settled on the options for Spark, Divine Domain, and so on.

[Spark]: Demigod Spark (Excellent, Extremely Strong)

"This time the Spark has improved a lot!"

Seeing the Spark option, Ye Yu was slightly taken aback.

Last time, after devouring Ma Baoguo's Spark.

His originally ordinary, weak Spark had upgraded to ordinary, strong.

And this time, after devouring Wodema's Spark, it had become excellent, extremely strong!

Not only had the Spark's foundation jumped from ordinary to excellent.

Even the suffix had leaped to extremely strong.

This meant that Ye Yu's Divine Domain had seen a massive boost in resources and other aspects.

Thinking this, Ye Yu's Divine Sense swept across his entire Divine Domain in an instant.

He found that his Divine Domain had indeed undergone a dramatic change.

The increase in area was expected.

What surprised him was that within the two-thousand-plus square kilometers of Divine Domain, he discovered several wild biological populations!

There were even quite a few exotic metal ores and the like!

"What an unexpected windfall!"

Ye Yu withdrew his Divine Sense, overjoyed inside.

His gaze swept over the character panel again.

[Divine Domain]: 2085 square kilometers

After Ye Yu advanced to a Three-star Demigod, his Divine Domain area had reached 1015 square kilometers.

And after Wodema devoured Zhang Dongyang's Spark, his Divine Domain area had also become 1000 square kilometers.

Plus, after Wodema later advanced to a One-star Demigod, he gained an extra 70 square kilometers of Divine Domain area.

So now, Ye Yu's Divine Domain area was 2085 square kilometers—no issues there.

"The system is still the real deal!"

"For an ordinary god, even if they take the Hunt-and-devour-Spark route!"

"When merging Sparks, there's always some loss, more or less!"

"But I get a perfect fusion every time, without a single bit of waste!"

Ye Yu marveled inwardly.

A Hacker, after all, is truly more formidable than any genius.

"Next up is the most thrilling part!"

Ye Yu took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Contribution points option.

When he saw his current Contribution points, even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still stunned!

"This Wodema was a real fat sheep!"

"Way richer than Ma Baoguo!"
