Chapter 995 - God King Jing Jing
Inside Han Wu’s divine realm, the evolution paths had been progressing steadily after extensive cultivation. Roughly five percent of the older generation of units had reached the end of their natural lifespans and passed away.
The new generation of his core race was evolving along the ten established paths, with the fastest-growing one being the Enhanced Restoration Path.
This path had the lowest potential of the ten, but was the quickest to mature. Blood Wraiths at the ultimate tier were only High Lord life forms. Han Wu’s divine realm already held over 100,000 of them, with even more at stages below ultimate.
The Self Detonation Path was also coming along well. Han Wu had built his early career on Self Detonation tactics, so he had put serious work into perfecting them.
His divine realm housed 80,000 Nuclear Locusts[1] at the ultimate tier, or Sage life forms. When a Nuclear Locust detonated, the burst of destruction it produced was no less than the full-power strike of an Earthsunder life form.
Despite this firepower, Han Wu remained unsatisfied. Wanting the Nuclear Locusts to go even further, he had the Origin of Mutation run experiments on them, trying to get them to adapt to Giant Spinal Fluid modification as quickly as possible. If the experiments succeeded, the Nuclear Locusts’ destructive power would jump another full tier.
The other evolution paths were still progressing slowly, but this was normal, so Han Wu wasn’t worried. He believed that with persistence, his divine realm’s overall strength would see a massive upgrade.
Not being worried didn’t mean he wasn’t paying attention, though. Han Wu cared deeply about the Giant Enhancement Path and provided it with practically unlimited resources.
This path progressed relatively quickly thanks to his support. It had already produced 180,000 Cyclops at the perfect tier and over a hundred Skyreach Giants at the ultimate tier, or with Heavenrender rank power.
A super ultimate Mythic Titan, however, had yet to be born. Han Wu blessed and sent over a hundred Skyreach Giants to the Blood Coliseum every day to fight and increase their chances of evolving, but with no results so far.
Still, he kept at it. The probability of a Skyreach Giant evolving into a Mythic Titan only grew with every passing day. A super ultimate evolution was just a matter of time.
After wrapping up his inspection of the divine realm, Han Wu received a message from Jing Jing. She completed her God King advancement on the lost continent!
Jing Jing had first comprehended the Soul Jurisdiction prototype in the Giant Shadow Civilization. Then, through training on the lost continent, she absorbed massive amounts of soul energy and developed the Soul Jurisdiction to 100%.
Unlike Han Wu’s experience with his own Divine Jurisdictions, Jing Jing had extremely high compatibility with the Soul Jurisdiction and had fully committed to it. Once it hit 100%, she initiated her God King advancement ritual on the lost continent.
Han Wu had already conquered the lost continent, so nobody gave her any trouble, and the advancement went smoothly.
All she needed to do now was return to the Divine Civilization and officially ascend into a God King under the witness of the Divine Civilization’s Will.
When Han Wu heard the news, he immediately notified Qin Shuang, Sun Qingnian, and Xiang Meng’s trio to witness the ceremony. This was a rare opportunity for Major Gods like them to observe the process up close and would provide a valuable reference for their own future advancement.
Han Wu even used his Wealth Faction connections to purchase an Exquisite Skill Gem for Jing Jing to use during the ritual, to ensure she gained a powerful ability upon advancing.
Jing Jing never refused anything from Han Wu. With the Exquisite Skill Gem in hand, she commenced the advancement ritual under everyone’s watchful eyes.
The first step was to establish a connection with the Divine Civilization’s Will. Although Jing Jing wasn’t originally a native of the Divine Civilization, she had formally immigrated under Han Wu’s guidance.
Ascending to God King required the Divine Civilization’s Will to review her qualifications. It would also examine her chosen Divine Jurisdiction to ensure that no others existed in the civilization at the same time.
After completing the verification, Jing Jing started the ritual. The key step was channeling the energy sent down by the Divine Civilization’s Will to improve every aspect of herself. At minimum, it would raise her baseline strength to the World rank.
Under normal circumstances, Jing Jing could unleash attacks just below the Microcosm rank, even if her baseline strength wasn’t at that level. This meant even a Microcosm fighter couldn’t stop her if she went all out. Once her baseline strength entered the World rank, her true combat power would receive an even greater boost.
Everyone watched as the Divine Civilization’s Will sent down a flood of Origin Energy. Jing Jing revealed her true Crystal Skeleton form to receive it. Every crystal bone in her body became as brilliant as diamond under the energy’s influence.
Normally, the energy would stop flowing once the target’s body was fully saturated, but Jing Jing had planned ahead. The moment every crystal bone turned diamond-bright, she pulled out her Evilspawn Ghost Blade.
Jing Jing had since refined Evilspawn from the inside out using soul energy. The blade was no longer a separate entity but had become a genuine part of her body.
She had done this for the sole reason of absorbing more energy from the Divine Civilization’s Will. As expected, the Divine Civilization’s Will detected the blade as part of her body and poured additional energy into it. Evilspawn’s quality shot up under the infusion, ultimately transforming into a World-rank Divine Weapon.
The maneuver taught Han Wu and the others a valuable lesson in milking the Divine Civilization’s Will for everything it was worth.
“Impressive. Truly impressive. She even has the nerve to fleece the Divine Civilization’s Will. I wonder who she learned that from?” Sun Qingnian asked rhetorically.
Qin Shuang, meanwhile, had gone quiet. Jing Jing had surged ahead to become a God King, while she was still just a Major God. She felt as though she were falling behind.
Noticing Qin Shuang’s mood, Han Wu moved to her side and gently took her hand. “What’s the rush? Steady progress is the way to go. Your rate of improvement is already much faster than most people your age.”
His words eased her concerns a little.
Once Jing Jing had fully absorbed all the energy the Divine Civilization’s Will had sent down, her eyes finally opened. The light that blazed from them was as blinding as the sun.
It took her a while to adjust before she returned to normal. After ascending into a God King, her every movement and expression seemed to radiate an untouchably noble aura.
Han Wu rushed over to congratulate her. “Jing Jing, congratulations on becoming a God King!”
“My Lord, I have become a God King.” Jing Jing stared at Han Wu with deep affection in her crystal-bright eyes. “Am I now qualified to be your wife?”
Han Wu froze. What kind of setup was this? How was he supposed to respond to that?!
