Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu thought to himself —

"I'm half a follower of the God of Games and Entertainment, a major follower of the God of Survival and Evolution, a standard follower plus inheritor of the God of Difference and Chaos... In between, my heart worshipped the God of Lying Down and Giving Up..."

Am I pure?

Thankfully, no one saw Zhou Baiyu's face at the time, or they would have discovered, beneath the mask, a pair of eyes filled with anxiety.

"This journey is indeed full of hardships,"

"But if this really is a finger of the God of Corruption... I'm suddenly quite looking forward to it."

As an inheritor of the God of Fun, he naturally did not fear challenges.

Zhou Baiyu didn't speak further and set out on the pilgrimage.

...

...

The massive Divine Pillar, like a column supporting the world.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't imagine that such an enormous thing was merely a finger of the God of Corruption.

This God of Corruption seemed to bear some resemblance to a Devouring Demon.

This led to the winding spiral road around the Divine Pillar being exceptionally long.

Looking at the lengthy path, Zhou Baiyu, although already moving quickly, still seemed not quick enough.

During Zhou Baiyu's climb, news had already been sent ahead of time through some ritualistic channels, bypassing the Divine Pillar, to the ears of a few "Lords."

"The other party didn't say which Lord, just mentioned a Lord,"

Barn, the highest follower of the God of Thunder and Flame, listened to his subordinate's report with furrowed brows.

A Lord?

Rage rose in Barn's heart. Because in the Pantheon, the ones who could be referred to as Lords —

There were only four.

Himself, Karlando, the highest follower of the God of Games and Entertainment, Lechter, the highest follower of the God of Gluttony, and Box, the highest follower of the Sealing and Ritual God.

Who could be the Lord?

Who is the one secretly exploring the sacred artifacts and managed to succeed?

Not long ago, demigods were slain by Celeos... It could be said that these four were the kings of the mainland, the sovereigns of the world.

Now that a sacred artifact has appeared, what does this imply?

Everyone had agreed to rule the world together at the level of Demon Gods, and now you're sneaking into demigod territory?

At the level of Demon Gods, one is basically at the peak.

To ascend further, one requires sacred artifacts.

After all, not everyone can be like Celeos, who doesn't rely on sacred artifacts and has, through prolonged exposure to them, transmuted himself into one of the sacred artifacts.

This requires talent.

But clearly, Barn didn't believe he had such talent. Nor did he believe the others did.

To step into demigod status, they all needed sacred artifacts.

The highest authorities did have a few sacred artifacts, in fact, the Pantheon still held some.

But Barn could not possibly abandon the God of Thunder and Flame, just as Karlando could not give up the God of Games and Entertainment halfway.

So it was an unwritten rule that until they found the sacred artifacts corresponding to their chief deities, ascent was impossible.

Now, a sacred artifact is moving along the pilgrimage road, getting closer and closer to the central hall...

It seems to have broken this balance.

Because no one knows exactly what Divine Embryo the sacred artifact is nurturing.

Does it just so happen... to be the one needed by one of the highest authorities?

And Barn was very clear that he had not ordered a masked man to search for sacred artifacts.

So... who could it be?

As Barn suspected the other three highest followers, the other three were also suspecting each other, excluding themselves.

And so, a game of "Who's the Mole" without any moles began.
