Divine-level Base

Kashiba said slowly, "From this day forward, I am the Lord of the Origin!"

"O Lord, You are the greatest being in this world, the one and only Lord! We praise You!"

Inside the Original Cathedral, countless powerful figures fell to their knees, chanting songs of praise.

Kashiba slowly closed his eyes, his form fading until it merged with the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Origin, as if he had become one with the Lord himself.

With the resurgence of Spiritual Power, countless sects emerged across Blue Star, growing more and more active.

As the Void Demon Battlefield embedded itself into Blue Star, a terrifying and endless stream of the Power of Void Demon poured into the world. Many ordinary people with weak bodies and wicked hearts began to undergo Demonization, transforming into all sorts of monsters.

At the same time, the resurgence of Spiritual Power also caused many ordinary people to awaken as Spiritualists. Incidents of these awakenings occurred constantly all over the world, making it impossible for the world’s governments to keep the news suppressed.

After a period of chaos, the world’s governments finally acknowledged the existence of Spiritualists and established training institutions for them in high schools and universities everywhere.

Before the resurgence of Spiritual Power, barely one person in ten thousand on Blue Star would awaken as a Spiritualist. The Qianyuan Republic’s three Spiritualist high schools and universities had been more than enough.

But after the resurgence of Spiritual Power, one in every hundred people awakened as a Spiritualist. The number of Spiritualists surged a hundredfold, naturally requiring a desperate expansion of enrollment.

「Inside the Base Space.」

CRACK!

A large egg cracked open, and Shu Feng stepped out from within, his eyes flashing with a brilliant Divine Light. With a thought, lines of data instantly appeared before him.

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity 12/12, Agile Divinity 10/10, Defense Divinity 10/10, Constitution Divinity 10/10, Intelligence Divinity 8/8, Spirit Divinity 9/9, Evil God Divinity 9/9."

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Power Performance: 600%, Fixed Agility Enhancement: 500%, Fixed Defense Enhancement: 500%, Fixed Constitution Enhancement: 500%, Fixed Intelligence Enhancement: 400%, Fixed Spiritual Enhancement: 450%, Evil God Enhancement +9. Divine Resistance +68. Immune to Upper-Rank Legendary Death Spells!"

"Sun and Moon Scripture: Eighteenth Layer, Hundred Refinements Steel Body: Seventy Refinements, Illusion God Meditation Method: Ninth Layer, Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique: Seventeenth Layer, Supreme Demon Body: Tenth Layer!"

"Power: 8,100 (+300), Agility: 7,900 (+300), Defense: 7,800 (+300), Constitution: 7,900 (+300), Intelligence: 8,200 (+500), Spirit: 9,200 (+900), Magic Power: 7 Billion (+2 Billion), Profound Qi: 20 Billion, Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 5,300 (+300), Spiritual Power: 7 Billion (+2 Billion), Holy Soul: 200 (+100) units."

Shu Feng’s eyes burned with fervor as he looked over his stats. ’My Holy Soul has more than doubled! High-level Source Energy is incredible!’

’It doesn’t matter much that my other physical attributes are a bit weaker; I can make up for them once I advance to a Divine Spirit. But if I want to become a terrifying powerhouse at the Half-Step True Demon Level in the future, I’ll need at least 10,000 units of Holy Soul for the Divine Transformation process.’

A hint of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’It’s a shame. Treasures like the World Stone are just too rare.’

’Still, my limits have been broken. I can continue cultivating the Sun and Moon Scripture to increase my Spiritual Cultivation.’

For the next few days, Shu Feng remained at home and focused on cultivating the Sun and Moon Scripture. Meanwhile, his subordinates scoured the Blue Star Realm, searching for various treasures that contained Source Energy.

Ancient texts passed down from realms such as Gulondo World, the Black Tortoise Realm, and Andoras World all recorded the same phenomenon: when a Void Demon Battlefield embedded itself into a world, that world would undergo a rejuvenation, giving birth to countless priceless Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

Shu Feng’s original plan had been to travel to Andoras World after advancing to Spirit Saint. There, he would evolve his Skills into Divine Techniques, strengthening his foundation and combat power.

However, information gleaned from the records of the Holy Palace convinced him to stay behind and reap a bounty of resources first.

Taiheng Mountain was a scenic tourist destination within the Qianyuan Republic, not a Spirit Mountain.

’Being a Spiritualist must be nice! If only I could become one! Then I wouldn’t have to work so hard, running around for interviews.’

An ordinary-looking, middle-aged man with a slight potbelly named Zhang Qing stared at his phone, a flash of envy in his eyes as he watched short videos posted by Spiritualists.

As soon as the existence of Spiritualists was made public, major corporations began offering them high salaries. Many Spiritualists earned annual salaries in the millions.

The short videos they recorded went viral online, and many Spiritualists became influencers with considerable incomes.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Suddenly, Taiheng Mountain began to shake violently, the entire mountain range trembling nonstop.

"Help!!"

"It’s an earthquake! Run!!"

"..."

Panicked cries echoed from Taiheng Mountain as tourists scattered, fleeing in all directions. Earthquakes were one of the most terrifying natural disasters. A previous major quake in the Qianyuan Republic had claimed seven hundred thousand lives.

’An earthquake! This is prime footage! I could make a killing!’

Zhang Qing’s eyes lit up. He immediately raised his phone and started filming his surroundings.

Waves of brilliant, colorful light emerged from Taiheng Mountain. The mountain continued to tremble as it began to rapidly expand.

Taiheng Mountain had originally been a small hill, only three hundred meters high. But amidst that brilliant radiance, it rapidly grew, transforming into a colossal, mysterious Spirit Mountain that was thousands of meters tall and wreathed in Spiritual Mist.

"This is reporter Zhang Qing! I’m live at Taiheng Mountain! Behind me is Taiheng Mountain! What was a three-hundred-meter hill has now become a mountain thousands of meters tall! This is a true miracle of nature! I’m going to livestream my exploration of the new Taiheng Mountain for you all. Let’s see those gifts!"

"Awesome!"

"The streamer’s lying!"

"He’s not lying, I have a friend at Taiheng Mountain! Something weird really happened there! The mountain definitely got bigger!"

"..."

Amidst the discussion, a few gifts trickled into the livestream chat, which had just over a hundred viewers.

Zhang Qing, meanwhile, headed toward Taiheng Mountain.

The forests on Taiheng Mountain were dense.

Not long after entering the mountain, Zhang Qing saw a dazzling, colorful light suddenly rise from a patch of grass.

After the light appeared, all the grass in the patch instantly withered. In its place, a fruit the size of a lychee appeared, glowing with faint wisps of colorful light.

Zhang Qing’s eyes lit up. He strode forward, plucked the lychee-sized fruit, and swallowed it in a single gulp.
