Chapter 960 - 422: Power of Civilization
"Cang Kai."
"Cang Kai."
"Cang Kai..."

In a daze, Cang Kai heard someone calling his name.
"Who..."
His consciousness felt unbearably heavy, as if he had been rudely awakened from a long afternoon nap.
"Become my Divine Envoy, and I will grant you the Power to save your people..."
The distant consciousness sent intermittent messages.
Cang Kai became slightly more lucid, recalling many things from his past life—the smug face of the Lizard God Envoy, the scenes of his people slaughtering each other—all flashed through his mind.
"What kind of deceit are you plotting this time?"
"Gods? I, Cang, have never believed in gods!"
Though he was merely a King Tier, having raised the banner of resistance, it was naturally impossible for him to know nothing of the Abyss.
He knew clearly that their world was the domain of that Outer Realm Demon. Now that the other’s Divine Altar was still alight, how could another powerful being possibly arrive and even contend with it?
Such furtive conduct might well be a prank conceived by that God of the Hunt to add some entertainment.
"Divine Envoy, Gods, are merely names that can be changed at will. The key is the Power to change everything."
The voice floated over again, intermittently, as if coming from a very distant place.
Cang Kai now had lost all senses, with only his consciousness floating in the darkness.
"I don’t believe you."
"I have already fulfilled my mission, why should I complicate things further?"
Cang Kai replied with his Thought.
During the hunting ritual, it was a coincidence that an Upper-level Being cast a glance this way, and what were the chances of that being benevolently wanting to help?
He did not believe in coincidences at all.
This was most likely just another trick from that Outer Realm Demon.
Saying this, Cang Kai resolutely decided to ignore it.
And the voice fell silent as well.
But just at this moment, Cang Kai suddenly felt a warm current entering his "body."
Although he had clearly lost all sensory perception related to his body, he distinctly felt that warm current, and then another warm current flowed in. The warm currents became more and more numerous until they converged into a hot spring that enveloped his consciousness completely.
The warmth made him feel as comfortable as a baby curled up in a wool blanket, as if instantly lowering his guard entirely, and he could feel his consciousness also expanding at an astonishing Speed!
When it expanded to a critical point, suddenly a ray of light burst forth in his consciousness!
That light was like the first ray of dawn piercing through the darkness, instantly illuminating Cang Kai’s world.
"Ha ah!"
Cang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, a gentle sun hanging right in front of him.
"This is..."
He looked around in some astonishment, immediately realizing that he was in the cave where the battle had occurred before, the large hole in the ceiling was from the previous battle, and now the sun was coincidentally at the opening, with the evening sunlight not being glaring but warmly comfortable.
He then looked down at himself, now lying naked on the ground, with a flicker of Thought, he raised his familiar hands before his eyes.
Cang Kai widened his eyes in disbelief.
He clearly remembered having his head crushed by that Divine Envoy’s foot!
At that time, although he had died, his consciousness had not completely dissipated, and he could still perceive the happenings in the Outer World!
But now...
Cang Kai touched his head, intact without a scratch.
Not only that, but his injuries had fully healed, not only the new wounds from the recent battle but the old injuries from before had also vanished! His skin was as smooth as a baby’s, with a jade-like sheen upon close inspection!
"What exactly is this..."
"Are you looking for this?"
At that moment, the voice that had called him earlier sounded again in his ears.
Cang Kai swiftly looked in the direction of the voice, and instantly his pupils shrunk unimaginably!
Not far from him lay a headless corpse, clad in blood-soaked Battle Armor!
He knew this corpse all too well; it was his own!
And alongside the corpse, space had somehow cracked open horizontally, and within the rift, two enormous black eyes were quietly staring at him.
Cang Kai was completely stunned.
The aura of these black eyes was entirely different from that of the previous Outer Realm Demon!
Could it really be another Upper-level Being?
And himself.....
Cang Kai clenched his fist; this new body was certainly not crafted casually, its Power was even greater than his previous self!
"This..."
"This is my sincerity."
Before he could speak, the presence within the rift spoke.
"I said, become my envoy, and I will grant you the Power to save your people."
This time, even the well-prepared Cang Kai was finally shaken.
Such a terrifying Divine Technique of completely reshaping a body he had never even heard of!
Creating a body is simple, what is difficult is for this body to fully match his Soul, with not an ounce of discomfort!
Which means, this Upper-level Being possesses the authority to bestow immortality onto others!
Let alone, the body crafted for him was a powerful King Tier body! And in such a short time!
This kind of formidable Power of Civilization... Cang Kai did not think that Outer Realm Demon could achieve it!
Could it be, that this is truly a stranger Upper-level Being? Is this genuinely an opportunity to save his people?
Cang Kai’s expression changed dramatically, finally calming after a long time: "What price do I have to pay?"
He dared not agree lightly, for no one could assure him that this would pull his people out of the mire, or plunge them into another deeper, more despairing Abyss.
"Your world will become an ’Anchor Point,’ to be used whenever I need."
