Chapter 873: New Resources and Divine Origin
This battle, with two sword strikes slaying an old weak god, gave Fang Jie immense confidence. Among the weak gods, Fang Jie has fully realized that his strength is definitely one of the best.
However, at the same time, the opponent's performance also made Fang Jie more cautious.
Because just a mindless Forest God alone had such a powerful trump card. Then, who knows what trump cards gods of nobler birth might have.
From now on, I absolutely cannot easily engage with other gods, Fang Jie thought to himself.
But in the next moment, Fang Jie realized that his wish might not be fulfilled.
Because with the extraction of the divine status, Fang Jie sensed a special power. This power accompanied the divine status and was extracted by Fang Jie as well. A massive amount of energy spread out, all of which were divine power.
This divine power, Fang Jie could not use, so he could only let it dissipate.
The previous battle ended too quickly, leaving a lot of divine power crystals from the Forest God.
These divine power crystals had been refined into divine power, so there was no way to collect them now. The divine power spreads, filling the entire divine domain with life energy, and countless plants began to grow at a swift pace.
However, a purer form of energy did not disperse but was instead absorbed by Fang Jie.
"This is the origin power of a god, I didn't expect it to be so pure."
Fang Jie discovered that the opponent's origin power, although not as grand as the origin power of a world, was just next to that force.
As long as I refine it, removing all impurities, I can absorb this power to enhance myself. Other gods surely wouldn't dare to do this because their refining process couldn't be perfectly pure.
Rashly absorbing it would affect them, and over time, it might even contaminate their divine power and their laws.
But Fang Jie is different; he possesses the White Lotus Fire, a pure divine fire.
Divine fire could refine this original divine power, although the wastage would be high, there would be absolutely no hidden dangers.
This is a power only second to the World Origin Power; absorbing it is considerably beneficial to me. It seems that hunting gods is an excellent way to improve myself.
Sometimes, hunting gods might even be safer and faster than exploring the otherworld.
"I really look forward to the camp battle," Fang Jie said expectantly while showing a wry smile.
When did I become more battle-hungry than other gods? Even those killer Undead System gods rarely have someone like me. Forget it, it's best to improve my strength first.
Without strength, if a battle breaks out, it might just be me who dies.
The Soul-breaking Sword is very useful, but if you encounter someone stronger, it won't have such an impact.
As long as they can block the law power of the Soul-breaking Sword, its effect will be greatly reduced, even nullified.
This move is just a great killing technique against weak opponents, used to weaken those of the same rank. Indeed, this killer technique has too many shortcomings, and I must prepare other more suitable kill techniques.
Fang Jie thought silently, actual combat is the best way to test skill effectiveness.
Fang Jie finished absorbing the power and quietly put away the corpse of the Forest God, which resembled an elf.
Now, I have another divine body. Once I get nine more, I could upgrade my divine domain. Indeed, hunting gods is still what I need to do.
Just not sure if this Forest God was originally an elf or shaped into an elf later.
Gods are a type of creature, completely law-based beings, fundamentally impossible to trace back to origins.
Even if willing, they can become a giant dragon or transform into a tree; it's not a problem at all. As long as you're not afraid of not fitting in well, not worried about unleashing your strength, you can turn into anything.
"Alright, let's start devouring."
At Fang Jie's command, the divine domain's power burst forth. Along those space channels, it spread little by little.
Then, this divine domain began to shatter, breaking into pieces. These fragments, one by one, were devoured by the space channel. Following the special force, they fell into Fang Jie's divine domain.
Guided by the divine domain's power, these fragments landed one by one around, clinging to the edge of the divine domain.
Bit by bit, the divine domain began to expand, and the powers of the divine domain itself kept enhancing.
Of course, this wasn't a fundamental enhancement but an increase in quantity. The stronger the divine domain, the more powerful the boost for me, enabling faster belief transformation and strength improvement for the believers inside.
Because the distance is too far, absorption can only be done through the space channel.
His White Bone Tentacles can aid a bit in this situation, but they can't play a major role.
That's why this devouring takes a long time. Fang Jie calculated that to completely devour the opponent would likely take two to three months, and his plane cannot be disturbed.
Nowadays, time seems increasingly insignificant to me.
Previously, destroying a plane had to be done quickly, shortening the time to within a month.
Now, even devouring the divine domain takes this long. But there's no help for it, at the level of gods, many things cannot be accomplished without spending time.
Fang Jie arranged everything since the addition of new lands was too vast, larger than his entire divine domain.
These areas need to be fully controlled and developed, which will require some busy work.
Moreover, I also need to reserve more troops, as this battle made Fang Jie fully realize that inadequate troops are quite dangerous in divine wars, so I should store more during peacetime.
Fortunately, with so much extra land, there's plenty of space to store these troops.
And Fang Jie himself, began to fully refine those divine origins. This stuff cannot be absorbed without being refined.
What Fang Jie didn't know was that at the moment of the Forest God's death, a lamp suddenly went out in a temple within the void. This change instantly shocked those divine servants.
Without a large-scale divine war, the death of a god is not a trivial matter.
The issue was reported quickly, and other gods also realized the fall of the Forest God.
"What happened, what has the Forest God been doing recently, why did they fall?"
"I don't know, but I heard she seems to have had a conflict with someone on the Gods Continent, apparently locking onto the deity's domain."
"Locking the divine domain? It's a trap, isn't it? Someone should investigate this matter," said someone nearby.
