Writing the Names of the Six God Kings (I)

In the room, the Old Witch seemed unable to restrain her impatience any longer. Her voice became rough and shrill, filled with mockery and ridicule. "Hurry up. Do you need me to teach you how to write?"

"My little Your Grace?"

"Ah?"

This was a trap.

Because logically speaking, the demon gods of Subspace would reject the power of other gods.

If Yveta truly was a demon god from Subspace, he would write his own name on the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy rather than ask her for the names of other gods.

The so-called Mitra, Goddess of March, was naturally real.

But if Yveta truly dared to write this God's Name on his own Tree of Life Spiritual Energy, it would mean that he was not a demon god from Subspace.

Because no god could tolerate their own body being contaminated by another god's power.

But now that the Old Witch had sacrificed so much for Yveta, she had to find a way to recoup her losses.

First, she had lost twenty years of her lifespan while escaping the Boar Knight Order. Then, to activate this ritual, she had lost another thirty years.

But it did not matter.

She could take possession of Yveta's body now that he had become a Wizard Apprentice.

She could directly seize those years of lifespan from Yveta. The brat was still young, after all.

He could afford to pay fifty years of his life.

She could also gain an unusual puppet that had "returned from the dead."

That was why the Old Witch had drawn a Witch's Eye behind Yveta: it was a Parasitic Spell meant to seize a body.

All in all, if things developed in this direction, she would not be taking a complete loss.

Perhaps she could even dig up something else from Yveta.

The Old Witch's head stared viciously at Yveta and sneered. "Write the God's Name of Mitra, Goddess of March."

"Do you need me to write it for you?"

"You..."

Yveta suddenly crouched down, placed his index finger on the top of the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy, and began to write there.

The malice in the Old Witch's eyes nearly spilled out.

This bastard.

He really was a liar.

He had deceived her. This bastard was not a demon god from Subspace at all!

Behind Yveta, the Old Witch used a floating hand. An extremely dark Magic Aura surfaced from its palm—it was Body-Seizing Magic.

Bastard.

I'll make you wish you were dea—

Dea—

The Old Witch's pupils suddenly contracted, because she discovered that the God's Name Yveta had written on the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy was not Mitra, Goddess of March.

Nor was it written in the continent's alphabet. Instead, it was a script made of little square blocks, like one picture after another.

What...

Was that?

The Old Witch's pupils had shrunk to pinpoints. She realized that perhaps she had been arrogant too soon, starting to gloat before the outcome was even clear.

Something about this was not quite right.

The situation seemed to have diverged enormously from what she had imagined.

On the first branch of the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy, Yveta wrote the name of Supreme God Taiyi, who in ancient Huaxia had been worshipped as Heaven and the ancestors since the Zhou Dynasty.

The Rites of Zhou recorded: the Son of Heaven worshipped Heaven, the feudal lords worshipped Earth, and the scholar-officials worshipped their ancestors.

Supreme God Taiyi was a god whom only the Son of Heaven and successive emperors had the right to worship.

If anyone bypassed the emperor and went to the Altar of Heaven to worship Supreme God Taiyi, they would simply be courting death, no different from committing treason.

Though Supreme God Taiyi was not well known among the common people, he was Huaxia's most important god, without question. Even Buddha and the Three Pure Ones had not received the worship of every emperor.

This was a god regarded as Heaven.

Yveta could only pray that writing this god's name on the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy would have an effect.

If it did not, the Old Witch would still kill him.

Once the first name was written, the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy pattern on the wooden board actually began to warp, as though it could no longer bear the burden. The once-straight tree twisted and bent, seeming ready to be torn apart by a powerful force at any moment.

The whole room became hazy and yellow.

Some unknown substance appeared within the room.

Yveta saw a stream of white light flowing along the branch of the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy where the name [Supreme God Taiyi] had been written.

A voice seemed to sound beside his ear. [Heaven attained the One and became clear; Earth attained the One and became tranquil. What would happen if man attained the One?]

The voice was like a great bell, shaking his eardrums numb.

Moreover, his own Tree of Life Spiritual Energy could not withstand the pressure of that name and had begun to twist.

At that moment, Yveta felt lightheaded. Everything he saw was blood-red and seemed to be spinning upside down.

He felt that his fever had grown even worse.

But it might also have been because he had written the name [Supreme God Taiyi] on the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy.

Either way, he had no choice but to finish writing on every branch at the top of the Tree of Life Spiritual Energy and see what would happen.

He had no other choice now.

He could not explain the situation to the Old Witch and beg for help, nor could he stop the ritual and seek his own death. That left him with only one thing to do.

He had to use all his strength to write the names of the God Kings he knew on his own Tree of Life Spiritual Energy.

The second name he was going to write was that of the Greek God King [Zeus].

Behind Yveta, the Old Witch's head gaped, her eyes wide as she watched him write a God's Name she had never seen before, using a script she had never seen before.

It was as though lightning had struck her forehead. She stood there, utterly stunned.

What was going on?

Could this brat really be a demon god from Subspace?

Then her arrogant words just now... she had said them far, far, far too early.

This was bad.

She had just courted disaster.

I've never seen that God's Name before... The Old Witch's shoulders trembled. But why did he ask me earlier which God's Name he should write?

He should only be able to write his own God's Name!

Could it be that he learned this God's Name somewhere else?

Or did he just make it up?

Ah, a god really responded. It's a real God's Name, and the reaction seems especially intense. This level of attention... it doesn't seem like he's borrowing another god's name.

Is he going to write a second one? One should have been enough.

The Old Witch suddenly remembered that she seemed not to have told Yveta that this ritual only required writing one god's name.

Because borrowing the power of just one god was enough to grant his body magic power and magical talent.

On the second branch at the top of the Life Psionic Tree, Yveta wrote the second name: [Zeus].

He still remembered a little English. Although Zeus's original name should have been in ancient Greek.

But compared with Chinese, English was at least closer to the original Greek.
