New Testament Creation Stele

The sand was fine and white, like grains of silver. Vegetation grew densely, with rare varieties, some of which even Fang Yuan could not name.

Fang Yuan remembered this island, for it had played quite a significant role in the original story.

This was Sea God Island!

A small island lay at the very center of Sea God Island. Surrounded by seawater, atop a mountain roughly five hundred meters high, stood a square domed structure that looked as though it had been carved from white jade. It was the Sea God Temple.

Within the Sea God Temple, a beautiful woman in a scarlet robe, with long sea-blue hair cascading loose around her, stood quietly at its center, her expression serene and elegant.

However, when Fang Yuan's gaze fell upon her, the beautiful woman opened her eyes in confusion and looked around.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of puzzlement appeared in her eyes.

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. He had already recognized her identity.

Standing at the very center of the Sea God Temple and possessing spiritual power capable of faintly sensing Star Eyes, her cultivation was clearly already extremely close to the divine level.

Only one person fit those characteristics: Bo Saixi, whose cultivation had reached Rank 99 Limit Douluo and who bore the title Sea God Douluo.

Although her spiritual power had not yet broken through to the divine level and was only at the average Rank 99 standard, the Sea God Temple was the site of the Sea God Godhood trials and contained a portion of the Sea God's might.

With the advantage of her home ground, Bo Saixi was actually able to faintly sense Fang Yuan's observation.

Still, compared to that Big Eyeball from before, which could accurately pinpoint the direction of Fang Yuan's gaze, Bo Saixi's performance was somewhat inferior.

She could only sense something faintly and could not perceive it as accurately as Big Eyeball.

However, Fang Yuan had no intention of continuing to watch. After all, he currently had no plans to provoke Sea God Island, which had the Sea God behind it.

This was where Tang San had received the Sea God Godhood inheritance in the original story. According to Fang Yuan's plans, after Tang San matured for a few more years, he intended to send Tang San to Sea God Island to undergo the Sea God's Godhood trials.

After all, judging by the original plot, Tang San was the Sea God's chosen heir, and his chances of passing the trials were immense. This was one of Fang Yuan's paths into the God Realm.

After withdrawing his gaze from Sea God Island, Fang Yuan looked toward the other islands.

After a while.

Fang Yuan's gaze sharpened, and what he saw sent a jolt through his heart.

What he saw on one of the islands was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Even Fang Yuan, who had read the original story, could not help but be shocked.

A flash of jade-green light appeared around him. Fang Yuan was no longer content to observe indirectly through starlight, and he boldly activated Fixed Immortal Travel, personally teleporting to the location.

This was an extremely ordinary-looking island with almost no vegetation. As far as the eye could see, there were only vast stretches of stone.

Normally, a barren stone island like this would not support much life.

At most, there would be some salt-alkali-resistant moss and lichen, along with barnacles attached to the rocks.

Yet this island made entirely of stone had life on it.

As the jade light flashed, Fang Yuan appeared at the island's highest point. His arrival was immediately noticed.

"An intruder!" "Who are you?"

Shouts rang out abruptly. Several muscular, dark-skinned men appeared to be carrying out guard duties.

Fang Yuan's sudden appearance greatly startled them, and they assumed wary stances.

People actually lived on this barren stone island, and their society was quite developed.

Several of them immediately flew away, clearly going to call for reinforcements. The rest formed a circle and surrounded Fang Yuan at its center.

Their eyes were filled with vigilance and anger. Clearly, they were deeply hostile toward Fang Yuan, who had trespassed into the area under their watch.

However, Fang Yuan did not spare them even a glance.

All his attention was fixed on the stone stele before him.

It was a massive stone stele, approximately fifty meters tall and entirely made from some unknown, hard stone.

Standing on the island and exposed to who knew how many years of wind and sun, the stone stele remained completely undamaged.

The characters carved upon it were ancient and majestic, each one as large as an adult's head.

At a glance, there were tens of thousands of characters engraved upon it.

What shocked and fascinated Fang Yuan so greatly was the content carved onto the stele.

"...Creating a Godhood?"

Fang Yuan's eyes widened as he stared at the writing carved into the stele and murmured under his breath.

The very first sentence alone brought him an immense shock!

Why was ascending to Godhood so difficult?

Because Godhoods were limited, while heroes throughout the world were as numerous as carp crossing a river. There were too many monks and too little porridge.

Only by luckily obtaining a Godhood trial and passing it could one inherit a Godhood and enter the God Realm, where every position was already occupied.

Under such circumstances, creating one's own Godhood was no different from taking a shortcut and overtaking on a curve.

Although the Godhood trials left behind on the continent by deities were exceedingly rare, there were at least traces to follow.

However, almost no one had ever heard of a method for creating one's own Godhood.

Everyone knew that if they could create a new Godhood, they could ascend to the God Realm, yet very few could truly accomplish it.

And now, on the stone stele before Fang Yuan, was content that appeared somewhat outrageously boastful.

Create a Godhood!

Fang Yuan could not help but turn his gaze to the top of the stele, where he clearly saw several large characters deeply carved into it.

New Testament Creation Stele.

The name was simple and direct, yet it perfectly summarized its purpose.

"Attack! Seize this outsider!"

As Fang Yuan studied the stele intently, the people behind him finally reached the limit of their patience.

With one person's shout, everyone surged forward and pounced at Fang Yuan together.

As they lunged forward, astonishing transformations occurred across their bodies.

Scales unique to marine creatures emerged over their bodies, while fins grew from their arms and necks.

Some of their mouths and noses even became long and narrow, like those of swordfish.

Although no Soul Rings appeared around them, as the traits of marine creatures emerged, the aura they radiated immediately rose, nearly carrying the pressure of Soul Emperor-level strength.

Fang Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the stone stele, and he did not spare these mermaid warriors even the slightest attention. Yet even with his back turned to them, he could sense the movements of these strange people.

Fang Yuan's fifth Soul Ring lit up, and countless Myriad Self phantoms burst forth.

After Fang Yuan obtained his eighth Soul Ring, the combat strength of the Myriad Self phantoms had increased once more. Every one of them possessed strength no weaker than a Soul Saint-level expert.

Countless Myriad Self phantoms met the stele guards head-on and immediately sent them sprawling in defeat.

Under the dual suppression of numbers and quality, these people were beaten so badly by the Myriad Self phantoms after a single exchange that they could not even raise their heads.
