Chapter 2190: Chapter 2187: Fusing Divine Status
"You’re not wrong. I can let you directly inherit the War God’s Divine Status!" the War God said indifferently. "But there’s something I must say upfront!"
"In the battle of the gods’ downfall, the Twelve Main Gods were terribly defeated. After leaving their divine statuses, one by one, the other Main Gods fell. I, unwilling to accept this fate, took half of my War God Divine Status and continued the fight, leaving only half here."
Ling Feng looked puzzled. "What impact does this have?"
The War God awkwardly scratched his nose. "If a complete divine status had been left, the successor could safely absorb it and inherit all its power to become a true Main God."
"But the War God’s divine status is only half complete, which means that even if you inherit it, you won’t obtain the full legacy of the War God. You’d just be a pseudo God of War!" the War God said awkwardly. "But rest assured, once you absorb the War God’s Divine Status, you can use your own cultivation and ideas to perfect it, in which case you’ll become a new War God!"
"However, the biggest effect is... absorbing a half-divine status will have significant consequences on you!" the War God said sternly. "Since it’s not a complete divine status, I can’t guarantee what might happen when you absorb it."
Ling Feng smiled. "Do I have the right to refuse?"
The War God was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Unfortunately, I didn’t set an option for refusal."
Ling Feng shrugged. "Then that’s that. After all the hard work it took to get here, even if you persuaded me to give up, I’d still be unwilling! Oh, and does the half-divine status bring only harm, no benefits?"
"As for benefits..." the War God thought for a moment and said, "Not having to go to the Chaos God Temple for now—is that considered good news?"
Chaos God Temple? Ling Feng looked puzzled. What kind of place is that?
The War God patiently explained, "The Chaos God Temple is the core of the entire Chaos Universe. As a Main God, you must bear certain responsibilities, and the Chaos God Temple is where the Main Gods live, train, and undergo trials!"
"But to enter the Chaos God Temple, you have to wait until the War God’s Divine Status is perfected. For now, you can’t enter!" the War God shrugged and said, "So, you have some time without the obligations of a Main God, which can be considered a good thing!"
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, seemingly understanding that becoming a Main God is not an easy task.
"Do you have any other questions? I can answer them now!" the War God said, looking at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Can I know what the battle of the gods’ downfall was? Why did all the Main Gods fall back then?"
Hearing this question, the War God froze for a second, then smiled bitterly, "I didn’t expect you’d be interested in that!"
"Can’t you say?" Ling Feng wondered.
"It’s not that I can’t say!" the War God thought for a moment and said, "The battle of the gods’ downfall was actually a massive assault on the Chaos God Temple. As Main Gods, we naturally had the duty to defend the temple. We repelled the invaders during that assault, but we exhausted all our divine power. To keep the temple going, we could only leave our divine statuses in the Twelve Main Gods Temple."
"As for who the other side was, I can only tell you they came from beyond the Chaos Universe!"
"Beyond the Chaos Universe?" Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise. "There are beings beyond the Chaos Universe?"
"The Chaos Universe is mighty, but it’s not the only cosmic space. Other universes exist beyond it! The Chaos God Temple was established to ward off external threats!" the War God shrugged and said, "As for more details, you’ll naturally find out after you inherit the War God’s Divine Status!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly. "So, what do I need to do next?"
"Nothing at all. You just need to open your heart!" the War God said calmly as he flipped his hand, a golden box appearing in it.
"This contains the War God’s Divine Status!" With a wave of his hand, the box opened, and a golden light instantly flew out of it, drilling into Ling Feng’s body.
Boom! Ling Feng felt as if a giant beast had entered his body. Surging power rushed into his meridians and dantian!
Yet, at the same time, an extremely manic emotion filled Ling Feng’s mind.
Ling Feng clenched his fist, gritting his teeth tightly. This powerful yet crazy emotion was like a stormy sea, and Ling Feng was the lone boat floating on it, swaying constantly.
"You mere mortal, daring to pry into godhood; do you know your sin?" a vast voice echoed in Ling Feng’s mind.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and retorted in his mind, "What is mortal and what is god? Achieving supreme power from a mortal’s stance can lead to becoming a god!"
"Bold. However... to become a god, you’re not qualified!" the voice continued.
Ling Feng was undaunted, "Whether I’m qualified is not for you to say, but for me! I want to become a god, and no one can obstruct my path, not even the gods!"
A firm belief emanated from Ling Feng, remaining as solid as a rock in the vast Mental Shock, resolute and unyielding.
Within this brief moment, Ling Feng thought of many people: his family on Earth, friends, his lover, and everyone in the Divine Realm, Angel World, and Abyss Realm!
Recalling everything experienced over the years, Ling Feng’s resolve was not something that a few words could shake!
Becoming a god wasn’t his original intent, but if he decided to, no one could stop him!
Crack, crack, at this moment, Ling Feng felt as if something within him shattered. Subsequently, a golden light appeared above his dantian.
"Is this... the half divine status?" Ling Feng muttered to himself, gazing at the golden light in his dantian.
The divine status transformed into countless golden lights, landing in Ling Feng’s dantian. The powerful Divine Power instantly filled Ling Feng’s entire body, and he felt a change in the texture of every inch of his skin and muscles.
Primordial Force continuously transformed into Divine Power, and Ling Feng’s body gradually changed under its influence.
Watching Ling Feng become golden inch by inch, a smile appeared on the War God’s face, seemingly confident that this successor has a high chance of inheriting the divine status!
If Ling Feng could inherit the divine status, the War God could rest easy. Because of his past unwillingness to give everything to the Hall of the War God, inheriting the War God’s Divine Status required significant constraints.
Yet, at this moment, half of Ling Feng’s transforming body halted its change, startling the War God, "Not good, the side effect is about to appear."
