Qin Ze gently grabbed the Relic in his hand.
An extremely intense sense of resentment suddenly washed over me.
Divine light erupted from Qin Ze's palm.
The golden divine light formed a small Cage, completely isolating the resentment emanating from the Relic.
Qin Ze looked at the Relic in his hand, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.
This is a complete Relic from Higher Strange God. If I absorb it, the progress bar will skyrocket!
Qin Ze had some regrets when he fought the Mingzhi before.
That guy and his Relic were fed to the World Overlord.
The World Overlord should be extremely grateful.
He was unique in being able to snatch food from the jaws of the Pretty God.
After calming his emotions, Qin Ze said to A Sheng and Old Xing, "Everyone who finds it gets a share; we'll split the Relic equally among the three of us."
Upon hearing this, A Sheng immediately shook her head. "I don't want to."
Old Xing also said, "I can't afford that."
Qin Ze was speechless. "You guys don't want any benefits that are offered to you, making it seem like I'm withholding your wages."
A Sheng explained, "Absorbing Relic will affect one's Dao heart."
"Only those wicked and evil demons would do this if the Strange God hadn't appeared."
"Later, when the Strange Beast invaded, special measures were taken for this special era. Everyone turned a blind eye to those gods who absorbed the Relic."
Old Xing chimed in, "No matter how clean the Relic are purified, they will still retain deep resentment and Corruption the Source of God."
"Especially for those whose resolve in the Dao is not firm, it is not uncommon for them to suffer from qi deviation."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Since you don't need it, I'll just accept it myself."
"Don't say I'm withholding your wages."
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and temporarily put away the Nightmare's Relic.
Qin Ze is now so infested with lice that he's no longer itchy.
He has plenty of random things on him, so he's not short of a Relic a Strange God.
Moreover, he doesn't have much time left.
The Strange God is closing in relentlessly; we must race against time to max out the progress bar.
A Sheng said in a deep voice, "The amount of Relic should be moderate."
"You do possess a power of devouring, but you shouldn't rely too much on the Relic."
Wise people seek strength within themselves, while fools seek help from the outside.
A Sheng stopped there and didn't say anything more.
He believed Qin Ze would understand his meaning, after all, the other party was a smart person.
Qin Ze nodded slightly. "I know."
After hearing A Sheng's words, the clones all spoke up:
"That's all we can do for you. The rest you'll have to rely on yourself."
" A Sheng is right. What we feed you is ultimately ours. You have to seek your own strength, child."
It's time to ditch your crutch.
"Starting today, all cultivation groups will cease cultivation. Let the Pretty God comprehend the Dao on her own. Don't blame us; we're doing this for your own good."
"..."
Qin Ze rolled his eyes, speechless.
"You are my children, so this is also a way for me to seek strength from within."
"If it weren't for you scoundrels slacking off all the time, I would have become a god long ago."
Now is not the time to absorb the Relic; there are other more important things to do.
Qin Ze said, " A Sheng, come with me. Old Xing will stay behind."
The battle on Brother Devour's side isn't over yet.
Qin Ze wanted to see if he could break through the entire defense line of the Strange God in one fell swoop and cause them some trouble.
Old Xing nodded.
He was quite mentally exhausted and needed to rest.
Qin Ze took out the Red Shell, and the crimson ripples instantly engulfed him and A Sheng.
Meanwhile, Brother Devour was locked in combat with two king-level alien beasts.
Further away, the Level Nine Martial Artist of the First Legion were exchanging ideas with more king-level alien beasts.
Brother Devour couldn't help but sigh, "S-class alien beasts are as common as dogs now."
In battles involving gods, beasts below S-rank are nothing more than cannon fodder.
Only an hour or so has passed since the appearance of the Strange God on the third line of defense.
Dozens of Advanced Martial Artist have already fallen in the First Legion.
The number of S-rank or higher alien beasts that were killed also exceeded two hands.
The ground was covered with broken corpses, some of the Alliance warriors, some of alien beasts, forming a thick carpet.
Having followed Qin Ze since his debut, Brother Devour has seen his share of ups and downs.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a fierce battle with so many high-level combatants participating.
The Alliance warriors were like nails, firmly driven into several key nodes of the second line of defense.
Surrounding nodes and reinforcements of alien beasts from the third line of defense surged in like a tide.
They charged forward relentlessly, obeying the command in their minds, driving these people away from the defensive line nodes.
Both sides were completely enraged, and the sound of self-destruction never stopped from the start of the battle.
It's important to know that the First Legion doesn't have a single clone warrior.
Severely wounded soldiers who know they have no hope of survival will choose to self-destruct, taking the alien beast with them on their way.
Brother Devour was panting heavily as it was surrounded by two king-level alien beasts.
He looked up at the distant battlefield of the two gods.
The golden giant was already covered in cracks.
Devouring Song said in the Local Area Network, "I can't hold on any longer."
Qin Ze said, "I'll be there soon."
The figures of Meng Die and Curse Extinction emerged from the distorted space above the battlefield.
Curse Extinction pressed his hands down, violent elemental power surged in the air, creating a song of ice and fire.
Hundreds of the Alliance warriors were annihilated before they could even react.
The Strange God that came to support from the third line of defense was a big guy.
Beneath him were several octopus tentacles covered in barbs.
The place where her breasts should have been was replaced by two blood-red eyes.
Its head resembles an upward-opening carnivorous plant.
Standing among them was a humanoid creature entirely in white.
He turned to look at Meng Die and Curse Extinction in the sky, and asked in surprise, "Why is one missing?"
"You'll never see her again," Curse Extinction said calmly.
The third line of defense was immediately clear to the Strange God.
Nightmare was originally stationed at the second line of defense.
Now that the second line of defense has been breached, there's no point in garrisoning it unless we retake it.
The Strange God from the third line of defense said calmly, "I don't want to know about your affairs."
"We can give up the first defense, but we must get the second defense back."
Meng Die surveyed the battlefield, her gaze settling on the golden giant.
" Goddess of the Earth?"
The Three-Defense Strange God scoffed, "It's just a projection of her power; it'll shatter instantly."
Meng Die frowned; she wasn't so optimistic.
According to their previous calculations, the Goddess of the Earth's power should have been exhausted.
Later events proved this to be true.
They had already defecated on the head of the Goddess of the Earth, but she remained unmoved.
What's with this power projection that can go toe-to-toe with the Tri-Defense Strange God?
Meng Die closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before making a decision.
Moisturize!
This place is not safe to stay for long.
If we don't leave now, everyone will suffer the same fate as the Nightmare.
All of this was the scheme of that mortal Qin Ze.
