"Register!? I think they're not here to register at all, but to find the God King Authority Token!" Human military general Zhuge Minghuan slammed his fist on the crystal glass in front of him and roared.
Those present were all prominent figures among the various clans, each with considerable status and strength, and all well-informed. Upon hearing this, they all fell silent.
Of the eight divine kings' credentials, only the one belonging to the divine king Han Yan remains uncollected; the rest have all fallen into Zhu Li's hands. No one dares to even imagine just how powerful Commander-in-Chief Zhu Li is now, given his previously terrifying and exaggerated strength.
However, this sweeping registration and screening demonstrates the God Clan's determination to thoroughly cleanse its internal system.
Registering and screening every living being, even animals are reportedly included, using large-scale supercomputing for scanning and verification. This approach would leave these long-hidden creatures with nowhere to hide.
"It seems it's time to go..." someone sighed softly.
"Go? Where to? All the Far Voyage Stargate, wormholes, and routes are now controlled by the God Clan. You don't have a starship, are you going to fly out of the star system on your own? Fly for tens of thousands of years to escape the star field?" Zhuge Minghuan mocked coldly.
"You're not leaving? Or are you planning to rebel?" The representative of Interstellar Group, a thin, bespectacled old man, spoke up.
"What? You Yuexing have always been the leaders of the resistance front, why are you backing down now?" Zhuge Minghuan frowned.
"It's simply a matter of not fighting a battle we can't win," the old man said calmly.
"I'm thinking, since their goal is clearly the last God King Authority Token, why don't we take the initiative to help them find it? Would that make them stop this screening?" Ji Canglan from Central Star suggested.
"Giving it to Zhu Li will allow him to advance even further, making him unmatched?" Zhuge Minghuan said with dissatisfaction.
"So now he has someone who can rival him?" Ji Canglan countered.
These words immediately silenced everyone.
Indeed, Zhu Li is now widely recognized as the strongest among the three races.
Even the greatest achievements of the Dragon Court's Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon and the Swallow Fort's Silent Stone Swallow were nothing more than fighting against the eight united God Kings, and even then, they were at a disadvantage.
But Zhu Li alone dismantled the Divine King Alliance. Although he used methods at the beginning to eliminate Han Yan in advance, resulting in the Divine King Alliance being incomplete.
However, subsequent events proved his terrifying individual strength.
Without allying with anyone, he alone can take on the Divine King Alliance.
"We have no chance of winning," Ji Canglan sighed. "According to the God Clan's timeline, they're focusing on the big picture and letting the small ones go. The first round of rapid screening only collects data from individuals at energy level one and above. The second round will follow up with a more detailed examination of lower energy levels. The first round should arrive in the Red Luan Star System in about two weeks. Everyone... prepare early."
"Two weeks..." Zhuge Minghuan trembled and fell silent.
Meanwhile, on the Red Pattern Star...
Han Yan, the God King, was frantically directing Ding Yiran through self-torture-style special training.
The bottom of the deep sea.
Ding Yiran was completely naked, with a stone ball weighing one ton hanging from her arm, which she used to anchor herself to the seabed and prevent her from being swept away by the undercurrents.
At this moment, he was frantically practicing and circulating the body cultivation technique that Han Yan had tailored for him.
"You won't die, you won't die, you won't die!! Hahahaha! As expected, your body is simply amazing!! This level of strength would have killed most God Clan dozens of times over, yet you're still alive and kicking! It's a miracle!!"
Han Yan was laughing excitedly in Ding Yiran's mind at that moment.
During this period, he initially didn't pay much attention to Ding Yiran, but instead had her try to get close to Lin Yuexiu in various ways.
Later, he began to take him more seriously. Now, after discovering that no matter what he did to Ding Yiran, this guy couldn't die, he excitedly stuffed all the forbidden techniques, profound mysteries, and dark arts in his mind into Ding Yiran to try.
With each day filled with different ways of courting death, Ding Yiran's body was strengthened at an alarming rate.
We have now truly entered the third ring road level.
Although his hair is completely white, although he is mentally exhausted, although he feels like he's dying every day, he's strong now...
It could be said that he had developed the Illusion Destruction Eye ability that Lin Hui had secretly given him to its limit.
This supreme holy method of the Holy Night Church truly revealed its value in his hands.
"Last time, I injected some of my divine soul power into you, and the surgery was very successful. Now we're practically intertwined. Add to that the God Clan bone marrow, the Red Light Dragon Clan brain marrow, and the Stone Swallow's original cells that I transplanted into you before... Next, you just need to take one more course of Korth Chaos Venom, which should forcefully suppress all the rejection reactions in your tissues and soul." Han Yan spoke eloquently in my mind, exuding the air of a scientific researcher.
"But I feel... it hurts so much..." Ding Yiran stammered.
He was experiencing unparalleled agony every moment; every part of his body was frantically reminding him that he was going to die. "Pain is normal. How can you gain power without paying a price?" Han Yan said in a low voice.
"I've lost my body, and my soul is damaged and incomplete. Once your body is strengthened, relying on this strange immortality, all you'll lack is your soul. I'll give you my entire soul then! We'll become one! Our strength will instantly surpass my prime! At that time..." Han Yan was starting to go mad.
After realizing that he couldn't kill Ding Yiran no matter what, he discussed and came up with this crazy plan with her.
His soul was damaged, leaving him with no future. Ding Yiran's body was strange enough, but her soul wasn't even a divine soul. The difference was enormous. If the two were to combine, Han Yan, after learning from the mixed races that the other seven great god-kings had all been defeated, went mad.
He knew that ordinary methods and conventional approaches had absolutely no chance of defeating Zhu Li.
But considering Ding Yiran's strange physical condition, he came up with a crazy idea.
That would mean the two of them combining their strengths and weaknesses, which should instantly create an immortal seven-ringed god-king! At that time...
"But we don't have much time left..." Ding Yiran said with difficulty.
"Yes, it's alright. I've arranged the channels. Hypnotizing a few people is a piece of cake for me. If we can't avoid it, we'll try to escape and buy time. If all else fails, we can use our last resort," Han Yan replied.
"Tell me, why does life have to be so tiring...?" Ding Yiran originally only wanted to become stronger to protect his family. But now... the continuous torment of excruciating pain has even made his once unwavering will begin to waver, giving rise to a slight thought of escaping.
"You're still young, why are you thinking so much? Once we've completely merged and I'm dead, you'll have plenty of time to slowly experience it all. A lifespan measured in millions of years is enough for you to think through everything," Han Yan sneered.
He has recently begun to feel his soul shattering, likely due to the recurrence of injuries sustained from Ping Yun's sneak attack.
"Remember, avenge me after I'm gone!" He repeatedly urged Ding Yiran once again.
"The current Endless Divine Clan is utterly Decay. Since you will merge with my entire divine soul in the future, you must shoulder the responsibility for the future of both the human and divine races!"
"I..." Ding Yiran's consciousness was somewhat blurred by the intense pain. She could only nod slightly.
"... You're a good child..." Han Yan's tone softened, "It's a pity..."
Heart Source Demon Palace.
Lin Hui toyed with a black crystal crown that had just evolved in his hand.
The crown is quite simple and grand, like some constantly rising black smoke, twisting and swaying.
This is the Long Night Stone Crown, which took him 190,000 units of his Existence Force to complete.
" The Long Night Stone Crown: A treasure born from the shared existence of the Shadow Dimension. Wearing it grants growth and Night Shadow Ghost effects."
Special effects:
1. Growth (Darkness is the source of all things. Wearing the stone crown allows you to draw power from the surrounding darkness, enhancing your energy and tripling its original speed, while maintaining the same energy consumption.)
2 Night Shadow Ghost (When equipped with the Stone Crown, you can summon a legion of Night Shadow Ghost to serve you. The maximum number summoned is 10.)
Lin Hui experienced the specific operating method and found that he could easily control it simply by silently reciting the instructions.
He couldn't verify the growth effect yet; it would have to be determined when the Blood Seal evolved further.
But the Night Shadow Ghost can be tested immediately.
He stood up, glanced at the surroundings of the Demon Palace, then walked to the window, opened it, and leaped out, flying into the purple mist.
The faint sounds of disciples practicing swordsmanship could be heard around the purple mist.
Although these disciples had gone out to train separately, they would occasionally return here freely through the Devil Incense, some to seek refuge, some to cultivate, and some to visit him. Lin Hui continued to fly outwards.
We've moved far away from the vicinity of the Heart Source Demon Palace.
Gradually, the purple mist ahead grew thicker and thicker, and countless giant birds, formed from combinations of transparent humanoid figures, silently moved through the mist.
A large number of semi-transparent human figures gradually appeared on the ground.
They wandered aimlessly, without consciousness, merely indistinct shapes.
Having confirmed that there would be no accidental injury in the surrounding area, Lin Hui stopped and floated in mid-air.
Ignoring the curious onlookers, several giant, transparent birds, each over ten meters long, he stretched out his hand and gently pointed towards the air in front of him.
"Come out."
hiss.
With a soft sound.
A black crack suddenly appeared in the purple mist.
The crack was only a little over a meter long at first, but in the next moment, it quickly tore open, extended, and suddenly shot upwards into the sky, transforming into a terrifying black line that was tens of thousands of meters long.
The black lines began to expand, and huge, jet-black arms slowly emerged from within them.
Each of these arms was like a skyscraper standing horizontally, reaching out from the cracks and grabbing at everything on the outer edge, trying to find a foothold. Soon, the Night Shadow Ghost's entire body slowly emerged.
This is a gigantic black monster tens of thousands of meters tall. It has hundreds of black arms, dozens of long black legs, and eyes that grow all over its body except for its face.
Its entire face resembled the mouthparts of a giant insect.
It looks quite abstract.
"This thing... is a bit too big..." Lin Hui's eyes flickered.
He could sense that the Night Shadow Ghost's consciousness was completely under his control; it was a simple, chaotic consciousness, like that of an animal.
Logically speaking, given how weak its will is, its energy level should be very low.
But this newly emerged Night Shadow Ghost is actually a Fifth Ring!?
Or is it the Fifth Ring Road where you can immediately resurrect after dying?
"This Night Shadow Ghost... it's very similar to those monsters bred by calamities..." Lin Hui vaguely sensed that this evolved Long Night Stone Crown might be hiding another secret.
