The Era of Gods-Chapter 298 - Path of the Demigod

Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Path of the Demigod

Main World, the Star Realm beyond the perception of ordinary people.

Like the Star Realms of other Crystal Wall Universes, the Star Realm of the Main World is the ultimate destination for Divine Beings, with most being the fallen Divine Territory Players from the past.

However, unlike the Star Realms of other Crystal Wall Universes, when a Divine Territory Player falls, their entire Divine Realm merges with the Main World to strengthen it, leaving only a projection to plunge into the Star Realm, turning into stars of varying brightness. After their Souls of God fall into the Star Realm, they will return to the star formed by their own Divine Realm, using the Divine Realm projection as their tomb.

Usually, the celestial stars seen by the creatures of the Main World are no longer the stars in the sky, but projections of Divine Tombs. The brighter the star, the stronger the Divine Territory Player was in life.

The Main World of today has little to do with the ancient times; the once much-talked-about space programs of the ancient era ended as the Main World developed, and the famous The Explorer, after its lengthy voyage, never managed to leave the Solar System. Ultimately, the gods discovered that the cosmic starry space outside the Solar System was merely a projection of the Chaotic Void and the various Crystal Wall Universes.

The actual size of the Main World is comparable to that of a Solar System.

Of course, that was the Main World of the past. After hundreds of thousands of years of development, countless generations of Divine Territory Players have plundered the essence and resources of other Crystal Wall Universes from the Outland. Not only has the Main World’s mainland expanded countless times, but the Void that lies beyond the mainland, what is now the Solar System, has also expanded by an untold magnitude.

If The Explorer were to be taken out again today, it would probably take several hundred times the original duration just to reach the edge of the Solar System again.

In terms of strength, the Main World is now a famed mighty world within the Chaos Sea of Void. But in terms of size, the Main World right now can only be considered a speck. The Void beyond the Main World is so small in comparison to the endless voids of other large Crystal Wall Universes, where several Primary Material Planes and countless planes that surround the Primary Material Plane form massive clusters, can only be regarded as tiny.

As a Star Realm of the mental world, it has no concept of area and is theoretically boundless, at least for those who are not True Deity Existence.

But from another perspective, there are boundaries, as a True God can find the boundaries within the Star Realm.

The Star Realm of the Main World is not crowded with Star Realm Beings and dreadful Divine Aberrations. Under the management of Gaia Will and the guardianship of various gods, including the constant presence of a Lord with great divine power within the Main World’s Star Realm, no Divine Aberrations or Star Realm Beings can survive here, the power of Order reaches its zenith.

Therefore, the Star Realm of the Main World only has the twinkling stars in the sky and the unchanging silence of billions of years. Any variations would attract the attention of some of the gods stationed in the Star Realm.

The most intriguing and talked-about event for them is the modification of the Talents List orchestrated by Gaia Will.

In the void of the Star Realm, a towering Titan surrounded by infinite Divine Power walked out from the edge of a dense cluster of stars. This Titan, thousands of feet high, was wrapped in radiant divine armor that appeared like mountains, rivers, and various clan shadowy figures, representing the projection of its Divine Realm.

As the current guardian of the Star Realm, unified with the Divine Realm, it could use all the Strength of the Divine Realm at will.

The Titan stretched out its colossal palm toward the front, with its Divine Power-wreathed hand piercing through space and entering Subspace, retrieving a colorful ribbon of light. Just as it was about to weave it into something, the Titan suddenly looked up, its pupils flickering with divine light, and a look of surprise appeared on its face. With a voice as resonant as a great bell, it murmured to itself:

“Is this… Has a new Transcendent emerged?”

At the same time, many beings within the Star Realm felt the changes in the heavens and the earth.

Seated in the depths of the Void within the Star Realm, a Tongtian presence, too dazzling to look at, sat amidst the infinite divine light that surged like the tide, attracted by the changes within the Star Realm. It slowly raised its gaze, its vision piercing through the Void, and after a long time, gradually withdrew its gaze.

“Indeed.”

In the Divine Realm, Lin Xiao, who was busy carving out a new slot for Extraordinary Ability in the depths of the Origin Core of the Crystal Wall System’s Extraordinary Magic Network, suddenly looked up in surprise and slowly stood up from his divine throne.

In that instant, he felt that something important had occurred.

The sensation gradually grew stronger, and a vague impression within his perception began to solidify.

He slightly opened his mouth as the impression became clearer and more concrete, and at a certain moment, the indescribable ‘Talents List’ flashed into his mind—yes, the Talents List. It was something he had heard of but never seen before.

Then, as naturally as breathing, Lin Xiao knew that he had been listed on the sub-list of the Talents, which hosted thirty-six positions. He was ranked eleventh, just above the twelfth of the upper echelon.

As soon as he was listed, he landed at the eleventh position, making him one of the upper echelons, an extremely rare occurrence.

However, this ranking didn’t reflect strength, as the Talents List did not rank by strength, but rather it comprehensively evaluated the current strength of all listees, the predicted potential, and the overall growth of strength and potential.

Lin Xiao was listed because of both strength and potential, which let him bypass all other Transcendents listed for strength or potential alone, but that’s not to say he was stronger than the long-established and high-ranked Transcendents.

Of course, while this ranking is not a reflection of immediate combat strength, it can still be considered an indicator of power to a certain extent. Even the weakest on the list won’t be too far behind.

As the person involved, Lin Xiao immediately knew that he had made the list.

After the initial ecstasy of truly being ranked on the Celestial List, Lin Xiao’s mood gradually calmed down.

It wasn’t that he had a great mentality, but rather that he had no time to think about anything else at the moment.

At the moment he was ranked on the Celestial List, he also received a series of benefits related to his new status.

Yes, benefits, and they were from the Main World Crystal Wall Origin Will, referred to in their terms as Gaia’s Blessing.

Firstly, the instant he was ranked on the Celestial List, both he and his Divine Realm immediately came under Gaia Will’s attention, and he and his Divine Realm received Gaia’s Blessing right away.

This is a blessing that all Celestial List contenders have, mainly to purify his Divine Realm in its entirety, meant to remove any potential negative curses on the Divine Realm and its master, including any curses or marks secretly placed by powerful beings encountered in Different Domains.

Beyond that, after being listed on the Celestial List, there is a Gaia’s Blessing BUFF that lasts for a full three hundred and sixty-five years—the equivalence of one year in the Main World.

Lin Xiao could now see its effects:

Gaia’s Blessing: The blessing from Main World Gaia Will for peerless prodigies.

Attribute One: All creatures in the Divine Realm have a +300% reproduction speed, +100% survival rate, and +100 lifespan.

Attribute Two: All creatures in the Divine Realm gain +300% combat experience and professional experience, making it easier to level up species, increase the chances of breaking through species limits, and increase the chances of ascending to hero status.

Moreover, all Celestial List contenders have a series of privileges in the Main World.

For example, they can communicate with their Divine Realm at any time from anywhere in the Main World, including Subspaces.

If they go to an Outland, they will receive a mark from Gaia Will. This mark won’t provide any other assistance, and it won’t save you from an overpowering enemy, such as if you encounter a powerful Evil Spirit Entity controlling your mind; Gaia’s mark can’t immunize you. It’s merely a mark, whose only function is to allow you to contact the Main World if you get lost in the Void of a Different Domain, so you won’t be lost.

This is very practical. The biggest fear of adventuring in an Outland is becoming lost, and with this mark, there’s no need to fear this problem.

Of course, this mark is not all-powerful. If you travel too far, or if the Crystal Wall System you are lost in is too special, you still won’t be able to reach the Main World, but it’s still a much stronger position compared to other Divine Territory Players.

Next is the legendary Gaia’s Wish Spell, which is also the trade with the homeroom teacher.

These are basically all the effects of Gaia’s Blessing. They can’t directly increase your strength, but they can increase your power from another angle.

In the Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall Universe, in the Starworld, Lin Xiao’s avatar had already arrived in the depths of the Void Sea filled with Evil Spirit Entities.

He had not yet left the Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall Universe. When the Divine Emperor of Myriad Forms said that he would send him to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, it didn’t mean he would transport him out of thin air. It was not that the Lord of All Things, with great divine power comparable to that in the Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall Universe, didn’t have the ability, but as mortal enemies, his power was particularly sensitive to the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe. Direct action would certainly be rejected; hence, Lin Xiao could only follow the Lord of All Things’s guidance to get there by himself.

It wasn’t difficult, but finding the connection point between two Crystal Wall Universes hidden in the Endless Void was a bit troublesome and time-consuming. He had finally found it and hurried over.

This place was already deep in the Void, pure Void without the omnipresent, mud-like Evil Spirit Entities—just ordinary Void—an enormous Chaos Vortex sprawling across the Void, with a diameter measured in tens of thousands of kilometers, that one could not see the top or bottom of when looking up or down.

As Lin Xiao arrived, a huge face slowly emerged on the surface of the enormous vortex, and with a gaze that carried an evil will that made him feel extremely pressured fell upon him.

The Dominator of the Sinister Abyss Crystalline Wall Universe was one of those seven great evil wills, aligned with Order, and that’s why Lin Xiao could make it here safely despite his current weak strength.

A characteristic of the Order faction is orderliness. According to the rules of the Abyss Crystal Wall Universe, lower-ranked beings of the Sinister Abyss can initiate challenges against higher-ranked Evil Spirit Entities, but higher-ranking beings of the Sinister Abyss cannot attack lower-ranking ones.

This is a fundamental rule. However, if a lower-ranking being of the Sinister Abyss deliberately provokes a higher-ranking one, they are sure to be slapped to death.

Along his journey, Lin Xiao was challenged countless times, but as long as they were the same rank, he was not afraid. Even those outwardly stronger than him, he could overcome by relying on the Aura of ‘Wrath’ combined with his superb combat skills.

After all, he wasn’t merely a Sword Saint; swordsmanship was just one of the skills he excelled in.

Having achieved Lordship through the pure condensation of Wrath, Lin Xiao was of very high rank. The enormous face stared at him for a long time before slowly disappearing, and he knew he had been granted permission to enter.
