Chapter 1785 - 971: Azus Courting Death
On the merchant ship that survived the calamity,
Azus, transformed into a minstrel, appeared slightly unsettled, no longer relaxed as before.
He had not anticipated why those foolish Beastmen would catch up so quickly.
Evidently, he had erased all traces left behind, even setting up several leads pointing to other Divines.
But now it is clear that he had been discovered by those Beastmen.
And from the look of that old Beastman, his identity has already been confirmed.
This shouldn’t be happening!
Azus was quite confident in his preparation, and this situation certainly caught him off guard.
Besides, Azus can almost confirm that he has been targeted by those Beastman Divines.
The only one capable of exerting such pressure on him would be the Beastman Main God Gushu, right?
What a nuisance!
Azus ran his fingers through the hair on his forehead.
The current situation is very unfavorable for him.
Whether it’s the Beastman Race or the Beastman God System, they are second only to the Human Clan in terms of strength.
Although his strength is considerable, facing such a situation is still quite stressful.
In fact, Azus isn’t too worried that those Beastman Divines would send an avatar to directly hunt him down.
Due to Gaia World’s restrictions, even that Beastman Main God, the avatar that could descend here would be at most the same level as him now.
Stronger than him, but not enough to kill him.
However, the Beastman Race’s strength is comparatively overwhelming compared to his followers and church.
Followers of the Azus Church are few in number, given that the power of Azus’s Divine Position and doctrine are generally incomprehensible to most people.
Currently, the Azus Church has even just one Legend, not even a Demigod.
For average extraordinary forces, this might be considered not bad.
But in front of the Beastman Race, it counts for nothing at all.
Therefore, Azus has not called upon his followers to aid him.
Now, since he has already been discovered by the Beastmen, it means he has been targeted by them.
Azus can be sure that the Beastman Demigod hasn’t left but is following from afar.
The gaze of the Beastman Gods has already fallen on him, and unless he devises a solution quickly, it will be very troublesome.
But...
Azus rubbed his head.
Now for him, relying on his own strength to break out of the current dilemma is very difficult.
Seeking help from other Divines... for Azus, this is quite a challenging matter.
So, only one option remains.
...
Kane Floating City,
Lis was immersed in the comprehension of rules.
He now possesses many avatars, which allows him to comprehend different world rules through them.
Yet, what spectacularly surprised Lis this time was the performance of the Vampire avatar.
Upon becoming the Abyss Lord of the 106th level, the Vampire avatar gained a new authority.
That authority is the manipulation of Abyss Power to transform the Abyss Plane he governs.
Before Lis were the Demigod Vampire [Blood Erosion Fang] Timothy and Legendary Fire Demon Dominic.
They also adapted the 106th level according to their own characteristic strengths.
Now, Lis intends to do the same.
Previously, incorporating knowledge acquired from both the Abyss Will and Cain, Lis understood that transforming the Abyss Plane is also a rare opportunity for Abyss Lords.
To Abyss Lords, it is second only to being granted power by the Endless Abyss Will.
However, in fact, many Abyss Lords never seized this opportunity.
They did not realize the benefits that could be gained from the process of transforming the Abyss Plane.
For instance, Legendary Fire Demon Dominic merely adapted his Abyss Plane into an environment he’s accustomed to.
Though it certainly brings benefits, they are quite ordinary.
Lis, on the other hand, finds this opportunity to be perfectly suited to an Arcanist’s palate.
One must understand that Arcanists would expend considerable effort attempting to create different environments to gain more knowledge.
Now, having attained the authority of an Abyss Lord, Lis is as if granted a small space in the massive laboratory that is the Endless Abyss.
He can virtually use the Endless Abyss’s budget unrestrictedly to conduct his experiments.
Among the entire Endless Abyss, besides Lis, there probably isn’t another Abyss Lord capable of achieving what Lis has done.
Therefore, this is Lis’s greatest harvest in the Endless Abyss, even surpassing the deep abyss knowledge and mastery of abyss rules granted by the Endless Abyss Will.
During this period, Lis’s Vampire avatar focused all energies on transforming the Abyss Plane.
Lis has already relocated most of the Abyss Demons on the 106th Abyss Plane to the center of the plane, which was originally the location of the Desolate Flame Capital.
And other areas of the Abyss Plane, Lis used to transform into different Abyss Plane environments.
Lava, undead, swamp, ice plain, and other commonly seen environments in the Abyss, Lis has already attempted to transform them.
Lis even attempted to use Abyss Power to transform part of the Abyss Plane into a forest environment.
Just like Elf Forest.
Yet evidently, the forest Lis transformed is imbued with the dense aura of the Endless Abyss, exposing danger and eeriness at every point.
It is utterly unlike the serene, tranquil, and harmonious atmosphere of the Elf Forest.
Lis does not mind and continues his attempts.
After all, attempting to use Power of the Undead to grant others life is akin to complete opposing Strength Attributes, and success would mean Lis has completely mastered both Strength Attributes.
