Chapter 475: Chapter 449: Head-On Clash with the Demigod (Part 1)
The sa mountain cave.
However, this cave is much larger.
Over twenty ters high and forty to fifty ters wide, the entire cave twists and turns, bottomless, as if it has hollowed out the whole mountain.
At the bottom of the cave, in a massive nest.
A giant beast, over thirty ters long from head to tail, emitting a golden glow, lies on the ground. Its body is covered with dense blunt spikes, its ferocious head features interlocking dagger-like fangs, and two fiery red horns like those of an ox pierce straight into the sky.
On its back grows a row of green spikes resembling dorsal fins.
At this mont, it exudes an aura of sacred majesty, with endless energy flowing over it, causing nurous rocks to tremble violently, float, and occasionally discharge thick arcs of electricity, crackling with sound.
It is at its final juncture...
...
It has lived countless ages, so long that it can’t rember precisely.
At least, as far as it rembers, there were no Barbarians on this island.
Until one day, a group of short, peculiar upright creatures arrived here from the sea, but it paid no mind; to it, they just added another type of food to its nu.
Of course, most tis, it disregarded these small things that could barely fill a tooth gap.
The years flew by, day by day, year by year.
Hundreds of years passed until one day, an image suddenly appeared in its mind.
It was a Barbarian praying to it.
It beca a Divine Creature.
Gradually, it began to sense the benefits of faith, from ignorance, and started intentionally protecting these short upright beings, driving away and eliminating the harassing Natural Spirits and predators. The Barbarians’ numbers grew from initially just a few to a whole group, then a large area.
Simultaneously, it grew stronger, its thoughts beca clearer and more profound, gaining many mystical abilities, and at one point, it easily killed the ancient island dominator that always made it shiver when thought upon.
As ti passed, its power kept growing.
Until one day.
It suddenly had an epiphany, realizing it was about to beco a god.
It didn’t know how it knew; the information seed engraved deep in its body, awakening naturally when its power reached a certain level. Yet, as it understood, it also keenly sensed the danger in becoming a god.
Step into it, and success would ignite the Divine Fire, making it a Demigod; failure would lead to the obliteration of its Divine Soul, leaving no remains.
It was bewildered!
It was already the dominator of this continent, without any existence capable of challenging its position, living a leisurely life of eating and sleeping daily, why take the risk?
Even as a Demigod, aside from being stronger, wouldn’t life remain the sa as before!
As for the vast world, it didn’t care to see it.
It had once stood tall, viewing far, seeing outside just sea and small islands.
However, just a few days ago, it suddenly awoke from slumber, feeling imnse unease, as if a strong threat was approaching, a feeling it had never experienced in its long-lived years.
It beca increasingly restless and angry.
It even rushed into the tribe, devouring over a dozen believers.
And tonight as darkness fell, the danger peaked, and it truly felt the threat of death.
It finally stopped hesitating.
...
Its powerful, pure Holy Soul dispersed countless tendrils, grappling with the world’s Original Force.
Simultaneously, the imnse Power of Faith it had accumulated over the years began burning completely as fuel. At the mont before it completely consud, an eternal fla of indescribable color was finally ignited, instantly releasing trendous energy.
"Boom!"
Its massive, resilient body shattered imdiately, countless cells including bones turned into sothing resembling a paste; this paste did not splatter but coagulated into a mass mid-air, serving as growing sustenance for new cells. As Divine Fire Energy infused, a golden sheen gradually erged, and then it began to reform its body...
...
On another island.
Chen Shouyi stood on the mountainside, gazing at the sky where increasingly intense energy fluctuations persisted for a long ti, motionless.
Originally, with his Giant Battle Body reaching an advanced stage, his confidence skyrocketed, planning to go there next to check the situation.
If not a Barbarian God, naturally he would eliminate it.
If it was a Barbarian God...
He probably would never co here again. As for his poor Barbarian Believers, he could only hope the other side continued to disdain such remnants.
For Chen Shouyi, Faith Value was important, but not worth risking his life for.
Even if it were just a Demigod, even now, after much thought, he didn’t have much confidence, the most crucial aspect being who would know if it was a True God.
In this foreign world, caution could never be overdone.
Over ten minutes later, the energy fluctuations from the horizon dwindled, auroras gradually vanished, and everything turned calm and peaceful.
With a heavy heart, Chen Shouyi retracted his gaze, the excitent from earlier to imdiately see the changes in his advanced Giant Transformation Body had vanished without a trace.
He returned to the cave, suddenly feeling irritated and punched the rock wall, stone splintering.
"Damn it!"
The Shell Lady was startled, letting out a cry, flying up, then settling onto his shoulder again.
Chen Shouyi paid her no mind, bent over to pack his things, ready to leave under the cover of night.
"Great Giant, are you fleeing?" The Shell Lady asked uneasily.
"Yeah!" Chen Shouyi grunted in response.
Couldn’t she be more tactful?
Do I not care about my dignity!
The Shell Lady breathed a sigh of relief, urging, "Then let’s hurry, Tiny is so scared!"
"Don’t be afraid!" Chen Shouyi comforted her.
Did she feel the danger too?
His heart tightened, saying nothing, strapping his bag on his back, taking his sword, he walked out of the cave.
Outside, it was pitch black, only countless glowing insects in the forest emitted faint, dim light, the only light at night in this otherworld.
Chen Shouyi moved quickly and silently, soon descending the mountain to the beach.
Here, the distance to the Spatial Passage was already very far, a good five to six hundred kiloters away; even running nonstop across the sea would take three to four hours, and this was a direct line, including crossing that gigantic island on the way.
Standing on the beach, ready to depart, his eyes caught on a giant dead fish floating in and out of waves, surrounded by countless smaller fish desperately pecking at the carcass. He suddenly froze, unmoving for a long ti.
Upon witnessing this scene, for so reason, Chen Shouyi had a bad premonition, as if it was a revelation of death.
Standing there for a mont, he turned and left.
He suddenly realized that if encountered by a powerful enemy at sea, no matter the strength he possessed, he would be unable to exert it and would be at the rcy of others.
He could run on the sea’s surface, but he couldn’t fight on it.
If in Giant Transformation, he wouldn’t even be able to run.
