Chapter 684: Dueling Godhead
The dragonman youngster picked up the divine artifact and put it on Zi Di’s shoulder.
“I will first give you an examination.”
A moment later, the dragonman youngster used a divine spell.
Divine spell – Divine Artifact Mastery!
For a split second, the dragonman youngster took control of Charming Blue’s divine artifact and his strength soared innumerably.
“This is…a divine spell?” Zi Di’s eyes barely shifted from the dragonman youngster, she was astonished once again.
In her memory, her beloved was a battle qi expert, how could he use a divine spell?
Furthermore, he seemed quite proficient at it.
Immediately afterwards, a second, then a third divine spell was cast…
After several detection divine spells, the dragonman youngster ensured that there was no concealed enemy methods on Zi Di.
“My Lord, how are you so proficient at using divine spells?” Zi Di was stunned.
The dragonman youngster’s performance had broken the limits of Zi Di’s imagination.
“No, that isn’t the most crucial thing!” Zi Di shifted her gaze, tightly staring at the divine artifact in his dragon claw.
She was shocked!
“My Lord, you actually found a way of using the divine artifact?”
“I want to say everything is a chance coincidence, but actually, this is Charming Blue Goddess’ arrangement.” The dragonman youngster sighed.
“Charming Blue Goddess?” Zi Di’s eyes widened, “Hold on, what’s going on with the divine artifact?”
She noticed that the divine artifact [Mermaid Fairy Tale] had changed color, with one quarter of it looking like it had been contaminated with a deathly black ink color.
“Oh, that is caused by the death divinity the divine artifact is storing.” The dragonman youngster replied.
“Death…Divinity?!” Zi Di grew more flabbergasted.
It wasn’t long before she felt she couldn’t make any sense of what she was hearing.
Divinity? How was it connected with his Lordship?
“Have we really only been apart for this long?” Zi Di had mixed feelings
The dragonman youngster continued, “It is with the help of the divine artifact [Mermaid Fairy Tale] that I was able to teleport both me and the ship from the seafloor depths to here.”
“Of course, the prerequisite is that I have a Charming Blue believer as a coordinate so I can use Divine Domain Decent.”
“It is very safe here, no need to worry about the Li Jian Clan monitoring methods.”
“I guessed they used some spatial skill that we aren’t able to detect.”
“But this space is special, it is a part of the Charming Blue Divine Domain!”
“I just examined your body and found nothing amiss.”
“I know you have a lot of questions, so let’s talk first.”
A very long conversation ensued.
“This period has truly been arduous for you.” The dragonman youngster sighed. He knew Zi Di and Zong Ge had overcome all kinds of untold dangers and difficulties. To deal with that mysterious and powerful enemy, Zong Ge made an all-out effort to show strength, leading to the enemy being restrained by fear and Zi Di doing her utmost to use benefits to rope in the Li Jian Clan, and with the help of their ally, she cleverly advanced her business plan and obtained a lot of gratifying achievements.
The capital’s Wisteria Store was a gigantic trap, but luckily Zi Di received Elder Yuan Ci’s unexpected help.
Hearing Zi Di’s account of this period, the dragonman youngster felt incomparably tense and worried, despite the fact that Zi Di was talking before him in good condition.
The dragonman youngster sighed again, “I didn’t think you would encounter such danger, it greatly exceeds my highest estimations.”
“Zong Ge…”
Zong Ge really had a bad time.
He was affected by Blood Vengeance, then Hua Tang’s battle skill (Willow Flower), then during a duel there was that strange poison, then after that was Bing Yang’s Frost Aura, and finally, the sorrow-dispelling red wine by the Li Jian Clan.
This led to Zong Ge falling into a coma and no one knew where his soul went.
“Zong Ge played the role of ‘Long Fu’ and slowly fell down till now.”
“Looking at this, he bore so much on my behalf.”
Zi Di sighed too, “He is a fighter, a man of steel!”
“Without him, we couldn’t have lasted until now.”
Zi Di had a negative impression of Zong Ge. But through working together for a long time, Zi Di’s recognition of Zong Ge deepened a lot.
Despite having many conflicts and disagreements with each other, that didn’t affect Zi Di’s admiration of Zong Ge and acknowledgement of the latter’s talents!
Conversely, Zong Ge’s feelings towards Zi Di were similar.
The dragonman youngster said, “Since this is the sorrow-dispelling red wine’s fault, and you have a collaboration contract, then I think he probably accepted a divinity trial.”
The dragonman youngster had gotten the secret knowledge of divinity trials from Teacher Si Ling.
Teacher Si Ling taught Cang Xu many things and helped him cast away his Charming Blue belief. Through magic images, the dragonman youngster studied this knowledge afterwards and also knew Cang Xu was taken away by Teacher Si Ling.
The young man wanted to go with Cang Xu, but Cang Xu was not free and was being looked after by Teacher Si Ling, so after thinking about it, the young man gave up on getting him back.
Teacher Si Ling was extraordinary. Not only was he one of the Twelve Saints, but he also controlled the divine artifact [Truth Slate] and could restrain Charming Blue divine spells to some degree.
Furthermore, Cang Xu’s original plan was to get in touch with the undead orthodoxy. This was a very good chance for Cang Xu and all of the survivors.
After careful deliberations, the young man approved of Cang Xu acting on his own again.
Cang Xu had left already, so he had no other reasons to keep staying in the Ocean Mother Nest.
The Ocean Mother Nest’s blood sacrifices would continue, but in the wake of the seafloor beast tide ending, it wouldn’t be held much more.
The young man made arrangements with Dao Hen, and through the coordinates this believer provided, he used Divine Descent to arrive near the capital.
On this desolate snow field, he made some temporary arrangements.
Afterwards, he went to Zi Di and Zong Ge, and after secretly observing them for a time, he showed himself officially.
After explaining what divinity trials were to Zi Di, Zi Di sighed out turbid air, “Are you saying that this isn’t a bad thing for Zong Ge, but rather a good thing?”
“Zong Ge’s beliefs might deviate, but it is absolutely better than suffering Blood Vengeance and the other things he’s sustained.” The dragonman youngster analyzed, “we cannot meddle in this matter, we can only believe in Zong Ge.”
“Sorry, I should have returned earlier.” The dragoman youngster’s eyes were full of tenderness.
Zi Di shook her head, affectionately gazing at the dragonman youngster, “No, my Lord, you made the right choice, the wise choice.”
“You don’t need to have any regrets, because you were in far more danger than I!”
“From a business point of view, the Ocean Mother Nest and blasphemous prayers were really profitable. Despite the immense risks, there were handsome profits in it!”
“I really didn’t think, I don’t think anyone in the world would think that your Lordship’s experience would be so bizarre, uninhibited, and legendary.”
The young man had been heavily injured by Feng Lian, and he even suspected he had died, then returned.
Soon after being teleported into Ocean Mother Nest, he gradually discovered that it was part of the Charming Blue Divine Domain.
The Ocean Mother Nest, the saint beast Snow Pear Octopus, the saint level Zhou Zhang, the teleportation blood sacrifice, unexpectedly rescuing Cang Xu, repeated blasphemous prayers that netted massive benefits, ingeniously taking Xiao Wang Zi, Qing Xin, Lady Sea Snake, Qi Ling, Ku Feng captive, gaining firsthand knowledge of how saint levels fight, deceiving the Main Earth Elemental God, saving Lan Zao, the big guy, Dao Hen, Hun Tong one after the other, deceiving one of the undead orthodoxy saints, the prominent figure Teacher Si Ling, stealing the death divinity, then finally, teleporting back to effortlessly save Zi Di, Zong Ge, and the others…
Inside the ship hold, after the lovers had an understanding of what the other went though, they began to confide in each other.
This time of separation and many experiences had changed them both a lot, especially the dragonman youngster.
But their hearts hadn’t changed, on the contrary, they were more intimate.
“Although we escaped from Mystifying Monster Island, why are we now in even more danger?” Zi Di bitterly laughed, “In the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, we encountered a formidable and mysterious power checking us. Although your Lordship benefited from Charming Blue Goddess; the consequences of blasphemous prayer are endless.”
The survivors were like a pitiful bunch on a small boat, the more they tried to survive, the more violent the ocean storm grew.
Zi Di revealed a strong worry, and she asked the most crucial question, “My Lord, what do you think Charming Blue Goddess’ condition is?”
The dragonman youngster was silent for a moment, then sighed, “I couldn’t confirm anything.”
“But I believe they are in a deep sleep.”
“Everything they bestowed to me, as well as how to use the divine artifact, was done by the Godhead, who automatically executed this result.
“Godhead…” Zi Di’s eyes flashed sharply, “So, your Lordship appeared with gold level strength to participate in the National Ceremony Grand Duel to ultimately compete for the Dueling Godhead hidden in Tranquil Hill?”
“That’s right, exactly as you said.” The dragonman youngster nodded, “I believe that this is an exceptionally good opportunity, gods are omnipotent, and although I only know the slightest amount of divine power from experience, it is enough to sense how boundless this grand power is.”
“If I possess the Dueling Godhead, then I will be elevated beyond imagination. Even if our future redemption plan fails, at least we will have the chance to stall for time.”
As he said that, the dragonman youngster’s eyes stared out into space, as if he was returning to the first time he did a blasphemous prayer.
