If You Don't Want It, We'll Take It

Everyone present had their own thoughts about this sudden appearance of divinity.

A yearning coupled with fear.

If I let this opportunity pass, it feels like I'm missing out on a fortune, but I'm also afraid there will be other problems.

After all, it was all too much of a coincidence.

Now that someone is willing to take the lead and try to absorb divinity, the rest will naturally be willing as well.

It's perfectly reasonable for the other party to take a few extra portions.

Everyone watched the man who intended to absorb divinity.

He slowly extended his left hand and placed it on that ball of divinity.

There was absolutely no resistance; it was simply placed there gently.

He turned to look at Shen Hui and the others, a look of excitement on his face.

Since you can touch it, it means there's no danger.

He then began to manipulate the power of his Creation World and communicate with his own body.

Using his own body as a medium, he began to absorb this divine essence.

A wisp of bleak, wandering energy was gradually peeled away and seeped into the person's body along their fingertips.

The other person had their eyes closed, with an expression of enjoyment on their face.

"Divinity! Such pure divinity, it's simply amazing!"

As he absorbed it, the ball of divinity began to shrink considerably.

They watched as the other party successfully absorbed the divinity, and watched as that ball of divinity continued to shrink.

Someone immediately shouted, "That's enough! It's our turn!"

Only then did the other party open its eyes, looking longingly at the still large Divine Power.

But she still managed to let go and went back to the back.

"My turn! Let me try!"

Some people shouted that they were going to go and absorb this Divine Power immediately.

But then someone else shouted, "Get out of the way! Why should it be your turn? Let me do it!"

"What's the panic? Everyone gets a share anyway. This is a pleasant surprise; we're really fortunate to have the Laughing Moon Cult. They've completely made our lives possible."

They vied for the right person to go next and absorb the divinity, and the person excitedly walked up to the sphere of divine light and began to absorb it.

"Brother Shen, I'm so excited! I've absorbed divinity before I even started forging a deity! Does that mean I can use this divinity to directly forge a deity?"

Ye Long was excited. He had only come here to observe, but he never expected to encounter such a good thing.

However, Shen Hui's expression was a little strange.

At this moment, Zhiyue whispered, "You've noticed something's not right?"

Shen Hui frowned. "Everything is too normal, strangely normal. If you were a heretic, would you do something so foolish?"

"The divinity invoked through rituals performed by believers who sacrifice themselves is left to others, not enjoyed by the believers themselves."

"There should at least be someone waiting for the ritual to begin and reap the divine essence, but there's no one. It's as if they were prepared specifically for us."

If the Giant God Cult can hold rituals to summon the power of the Titan God, then it's quite normal for the Laughing Moon Cult to do the same.

But these two situations are completely different.

Zhiyue nodded in agreement, and at that moment, Zhuge Hongjing walked over.

He whispered to Shen Hui, "Shen Hui, there seems to be something wrong with this thing. Do you want to absorb it? I'd better advise you not to. At worst, you'll just lose a little divinity, which won't make much difference to the Creation World."

Shen Hui looked at Zhuge Hongjing, not expecting that he had also noticed something was wrong and kindly reminded him.

Shen Hui nodded. "I know, I've also noticed something's not right."

However, while Shen Hui and the others were talking, several more people went up and absorbed that divine power.

And even after leaving, they all had expressions of reluctance, their faces filled with delight.

"There's a warm feeling when I transform this Divine Power into the divinity of my own Creation World. It's wonderful."

"You feel that way too? Me too, haha, it's like being in my mother's arms, it's wonderful."

"Hey, hey, it's your turn! Hurry up and go, why are you taking so long on something so good?"

"Yeah, hurry up and get it done so we can get out. What are we doing staying here?"

Gradually, apart from Shen Hui and his group, everyone else had absorbed their share of divinity.

Some people started urging Shen Hui and the others.

Ye Long hadn't heard Shen Hui and the others' conversation; he had been excitedly staring at the divine entity that had shrunk to one-third its original size.

"Brother Shen, it's our turn. Shall I go first?"

He had just taken a step forward when Shen Hui grabbed him.

"We don't want this divinity. You absorb it; we'll leave first."

To be on the safe side, Shen Hui decided to abandon the divine aspect of this place.

If it's obtained by infiltrating the Laughing Moon Cult and stealing it yourself, then you'll feel more at ease with it.

Shen Hui felt this thing was rather eerie.

Hearing Shen Hui's words, the others were somewhat incredulous. He actually didn't want something so good?

Ye Long was also anxious. "Brother Shen, what are you doing? This is such a good thing, why don't you want it?"

"Shouldn't you have created gods? Absorbing them should have allowed you to utilize them more effectively and become even more powerful."

Shen Hui glared at Ye Long: "Let's go, listen to me."

Seeing Shen Hui's expression, Ye Long also sensed something, but still felt very sorry.

"Well... okay, but..."

"No buts."

"Oh..."

Seeing that Shen Hui and Ye Long didn't want it, they were naturally overjoyed to be able to share the two portions.

They then looked at Zhiyue and Zhuge Hongjing.

Before they could even ask, Zhiyue and Zhuge Hongjing shook their heads, indicating that they didn't need it either.

"That's strange, none of you want it? You don't think something bad will happen, do you? Didn't you see we absorbed it all? Nothing happened."

Some people found Shen Hui and his group's overly cautious manner amusing.

"Exactly! You're so afraid of this and that. Even you, Zhiyue, wouldn't dare. Be careful your ranking doesn't get surpassed by us, hahaha."

"If they don't want it, that's fine. Then we'll divide the rest equally."

They immediately began to discuss it, while Shen Hui started walking into the tunnel.

"Let's go, let's leave this place first, and let them absorb it on their own."

Shen Hui pulled Ye Long along, with Zhiyue and Zhuge Hongjing following behind, and the four of them began to leave the place ahead of time.

Walking out along the passage, passing through tunnels with rooms, we arrived at another tunnel with murals.

Then there's a long passage that leads back to the high wall.

However, just as the four of them stepped out of the tunnel and into the passage, Shen Hui suddenly stopped.

Ye Long asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhiyue and Zhuge Hongjing also looked at Shen Hui: "Is there a problem?"

Shen Hui immediately turned around. "The mural seems different from before."

As Shen Hui spoke, they arrived at the place where the murals were being carved, and Ye Long and the others followed.

A quick glance at it, and a comparison with what I had seen and remembered.

They immediately noticed an extra set of clothes they hadn't seen before.

It was the same painting that was once filled with darkness, but now transformed into the moon, tearing through the shadows to become a red moon hanging in the sky.
