Chapter 75: True-Body Descend Part 2
Translator: 549690339
As the believers prayed without cease, Lin Xiao felt a connection gradually erging between himself and the space where his believers were. As the prayers continued, this connection beca clearer, and he felt that if he so desired, he could imdiately traverse through this link to arrive at the altar where his devotees were gathered.
But he didn’t respond to the believers’ prayers right away; instead, he left them hanging to pray with even greater fervor.
Unless it was an extrely urgent situation, he shouldn’t descend imdiately. A Deity must maintain a certain prestige; three tis is the limit, he needed to wait for the believers to pray once or twice more before responding with a descent.
This was one of the most important professional ethics for a Deity, just like when arranging a date, a girl must always play coy. If she agrees to et at the first invitation, she might be taken for granted. She must refuse coyly once or twice, but not more than that, for it’s crucial to strike the right balance.
In this regard, Lin Xiao had a talent and was well-practiced. At the end of the believers’ second prayer, just when they thought it was over and were preparing for a third, he responded.
At the center of the simple altar, a ripple spread out, and a voice full of majesty resounded:
“I am the Creator, the Lord of the Ocean, the God of the Naga and the Fishman!”
The voice was filled with an awe-inspiring divine might, echoing in the ears of all believers like thunder, as if proclaiming its existence to the world.
Upon hearing this, the multitude of believers imdiately fell to their knees on the muddy ground, praying loudly with faces full of zeal, their words of praise gathering together under so mysterious power, forming a hymn of adoration that spread in all directions.
In the center of the altar, a space was twisting, and specks of blue starlight leaked from the distortions.
Lin Xiao expended one hundred thousand Faith value to cast Divine Arts Seawater Essence. Countless blue lights flew out from the space portal, spreading all around, and the surrounding devout believers, feeling the nourishnt of the Seawater Essence, believed it to be Divine Grace, their faith growing even more devout and fervent.
Inside Divine Realm, in the God Country, Lin Xiao was using a certain amount of Faith value to transform his True Body into a gigantic Goldscale Naga towering ten ters tall.
As a Deity, one can always incarnate in the form of their followers. Ever since he created the Black Scale Naga species, not only had his divine na changed, but his sects had also undergone transformations.
The na of the sect changed from the original Ancestor God of the Fishn to the now Ancestor God of the Naga and Fishn.
The Holy Proof also changed from the previous image of a Fishman with a trident surrounded by seawater to that of a Naga with a trident enveloped by seawater.
Besides, the original faith was purely an ancestral worship of primitive religion. However, after creating the Naga species on the foundation of ancestral worship, he consciously guided his new followers towards the direction of formal deity worship, especially after conquering many Fishn to form a large tribe.
Under his conscious guidance, the Fishn of the large tribe no longer prayed to the Ancestor God of Fishn, but called him the Creator, the Lord of the Ocean.
He needed to shift his followers’ mindset, not to see him rely as an ancestral god, but to accept a more diversified faith, laying the foundation for having more followers, more racial followers in the future.
At the fervent and zealous summoning and prayer of his believers, Lin Xiao’s True Body, transford into a ten-ter-tall Naga covered in golden scales, began his Descent in answer to his follower’s calls.
As layers of blue light poured out from the twisted space, an entity filled with a divine might so intense that the believers dared not look directly at it, slowly erged into this world.
“I am the Creator, the Lord of the Ocean, the God of the Naga and the Fishman!”
The mont this powerful entity erged, it announced its existence aloud with a voice filled with majestic divine might.
The voice, augnted by the Power of Faith, swiftly spread across the majority of the swamp. All believers who heard it were imdiately invigorated, and their morale surged.
The enemies, on the other hand, experienced a rapid plumt in morale, especially the Frog People who had been previously defeated. They fled without looking back, escaping as fast as they could.
Unless the Snake People Demigod made a True-Body Descend at that mont, perhaps it might have been possible to regroup the fleeing followers. However, that was impossible. Before recovery, the Snake People Demigod would not leave the Sanctuary, and Lin Xiao had counted on this very fact to dare to make a True-Body Descend himself.
The mont he arrived, the Giant Clam guarding the Entrance of Sacred Mountain was also significantly affected. It abandoned its previously erratic and wild combat style and simply laid near the entrance on the defensive.
Lin Xiao slowly stretched his body, carefully feeling the strength contained within his true form. Having left the Divine Realm to arrive at this Outland plane and without the enhancent of the Divine Realm, he felt a slight vulnerability and a sense of insecurity.
Fortunately, having nearly thirty million in Faith value provided him so sense of safety. These harvested believers’ values couldn’t enhance Divine Power or condense Divinity, but they could be utilized as Divine Power.
Only a newcor like himself would dare to make a True-Body Descend. Any student with a certain foundation, such as those in their second or third year, would not risk True-Body Descend so recklessly.
Once the True Body was injured, those injuries would be extrely difficult to heal.
But there was no choice, one must seek wealth amidst danger. For the imnse benefits a demigod could bring, he had to take the risk.
Surrounded by nurous fervent believers, Lin Xiao arrived at the Holy Mountain. He looked up at the black mountain, sensing a divine power fluctuation within this solitary peak standing in the Black Water Swamp that subtly made his heart tremble—the Sanctuary, the Snake People Demigod’s lair, was hidden within.
Indeed, the Sanctuary was the embryonic form of a God Country, an independent space, not just a burrow dug inside a mountain.
Sensing the Divine Power, Lin Xiao roughly pinpointed the location of the Sanctuary. But before that, he had to deal with the Giant Clam blocking his way.
He reached out with an empty hand, and a full million Faith value burned away, turning into a sky filled with gold mist that gathered and solidified into a ten-ter-long spear made of pure gold, hurtling it ferociously toward the Giant Clam at the Entrance of Sacred Mountain.
Spear of Faith: A deadly strike condensed from the Power of Faith, accompanied by never-miss, armor-breaking, penetrating, rending, and bleeding negative effects!
The Giant Clam, sensing the lethal threat, let out a massive ‘croak.’ Its ludicrously thick limbs pressed against the ground, and it leaped hundreds of ters high towards Lin Xiao.
But as it reached mid-air, a flash of gold light appeared directly above the Giant Clam’s head. With a thunderous boom, the ten-ter-long pure gold spear tore through the Giant Clam’s exceedingly hard skull, piercing into it.
The Giant Clam let out a mournful cry mid-air, its massive body uncontrollably plumting down.
With a loud ‘boom!’, mud and blood sprayed everywhere. Dozens of Fishn were crushed into a pulp by the Giant Clam.
But the life force of the Giant Clam was indeed monstrously tenacious. Even after being struck by such a spear, it hadn’t died. Instead, it beca even more ferocious. It aid a croaking roar towards Lin Xiao, and the horrifying sound wave shattered a large group of Fishn in front, stripping a thick layer from the muddy ground. With a forceful leap, it charged again.
Lin Xiao, expressionless, reached out with another empty hand. The gold Spear of Faith stuck in the Giant Clam’s head suddenly shattered into a sky of gold dust, flying into his hand and recondensing into a slightly smaller gold Spear of Faith than the first..
