Chapter 897: Chapter 685: Duel Godhood
The Dragon-man youth held a Divine Artifact in one hand and placed the other on Zi Di’s shoulder.
“Let me check on you first.”
In the next moment, the Dragon-man youth cast a Divine Art.
Divine Art – Divine Artifact Control!
In an instant, the Dragon-man youth mastered this Charming Blue Divine Artifact, and his strength skyrocketed.
“Is this… Divine Art?” Zi Di’s eyes rarely left the Dragon-man youth, and once again, she felt astonished.
In her memory, her beloved was proficient in Fighting Energy, and only Fighting Energy, so how could he perform Divine Art?
Moreover, the way he performed it looked very skilled.
Following that, the second Divine Art, the third Divine Art…
After several rounds of Divine Art detection, the Dragon-man youth finally ensured that there were no hidden means of the enemy on Zi Di.
“Master, how are you using these Divine Arts so proficiently?” Zi Di was dumbfounded.
The Dragon-man youth’s performance had already shattered Zi Di’s limits of imagination.
“No, the most crucial thing isn’t here!” Zi Di’s gaze shifted, tightly staring at the Dragon Claw of the Dragon-man youth holding the Divine Artifact.
She felt shocked!
“Master, you actually found a way to use the Divine Artifact?”
“I want to say all this is a coincidence, but in fact, it’s actually the arrangement of the Charming Blue God,” the Dragon-man youth sighed.
“Charming Blue God?” Zi Di’s eyes widened, “Wait, what’s wrong with this Divine Artifact?”
She then noticed that the Divine Artifact [Mermaid’s Fairy Tale] had changed color, with a quarter of it stained with the inky blackness of death.
“Oh, that’s because I used this Divine Artifact, and it bears Death Divinity,” the Dragon-man youth answered.
“Death… Divinity?!” Zi Di was increasingly confused.
How long had it been, and she already felt a little lost.
Divinity? How was it connected to the master?
“Have we really only been apart for this short time?” Zi Di felt very complicated.
The Dragon-man youth continued: “It is precisely by using the Divine Artifact [Mermaid’s Fairy Tale] that I was able to transport myself and the ship directly from the distant depths of the sea.”
“Of course, the premise was that there were Charming Blue believers providing coordinates, allowing me to cast the Divine Country Descent Technique.”
“This place is very safe; there’s no need to worry about surveillance methods from the Lijian family.”
“I guess they’re using space technology, making it impossible for us to realize they’re watching.”
“But this space is special; it is part of the Charming Blue Divine Country!”
“I just checked your whole body and found no problems either.”
“I know you have many questions, so let me explain them to you first.”
A long conversation ensued.
“It’s really been hard on you all during this period,” the Dragon-man youth sighed. He learned of Zi Di and Zong Ge’s journey, overcoming various difficulties and dangers. In dealing with mysterious strong enemies, Zong Ge gave his all, showing strength and provoking enemy fear, while Zi Di endeavored to attract the Lijian family with benefits, cleverly advancing her business plans, achieving many gratifying results.
The Purple Vine Shop in the Royal Capital was a large trap, but fortunately, Zi Di received unexpected help from Elder Yuan Ci.
When hearing Zi Di recount this experience, the Dragon-man youth was extremely nervous, worried even though Zi Di was standing perfectly fine in front of him.
The Dragon-man youth sighed again: “I hadn’t expected the peril you faced was so dangerous. It far exceeded my highest estimation.”
“Zong Ge…”
Zong Ge really had a hard time.
He first contracted a Blood Vengeance, then was struck by Floral Willow’s Combat Skill, followed by being poisoned during a duel, then the frost aura of Ice Calamity, and finally Lijian family’s specially prepared Worry Relief Red Wine.
As a result, Zong Ge is now completely unconscious, his spirit lost.
“Zong Ge played the role of ‘Long Fu,’ step by step falling to this point.”
“From this perspective, he bore so much on my behalf.”
Zi Di sighed, “He is a warrior, a hard man!”
“Without him, we wouldn’t have made it this far.”
Zi Di had always had a bad, somewhat negative impression of Zong Ge. But after this long-term cooperation, her understanding deepened significantly.
Despite many arguments and disagreements between them, these didn’t affect Zi Di’s appreciation of Zong Ge and her recognition of his talents!
Conversely, Zong Ge’s view of Zi Di was similar.
The Dragon-man youth said, “Since it’s the Worry Relief Red Wine causing trouble, and you have a cooperation contract, then I think he’s most likely undergoing a Divinity test.”
The secret knowledge about Divinity tests was something the Dragon-man youth learned from the Undead Master.
The Undead Master taught Cang Xu a lot of knowledge, guiding him away from the Charming Blue faith. The Dragon-man youth later learned this part of the knowledge through a Magic Image and knew that Cang Xu was taken away by the Undead Master.
The youth originally wanted to take Cang Xu with him, but Cang Xu was not free, being watched by the Undead Master. He thought for a moment and gave up the pursuit.
The Undead Master was no ordinary person; not only was he one of the Twelve Saints, but he also possessed the Divine Artifact [Truth Stone Tablet], which in some ways restrained the Charming Blue Divine Art.
Moreover, Cang Xu’s original plan was to contact the Undead Orthodoxy forces. This was a great opportunity for Cang Xu and all the survivors.
The youth thought deeply and approved Cang Xu’s solo action once again.
Cang Xu had already left, so there was no reason for him to continue staying in the Ocean Nest.
The blood sacrifice outside the nest continued. But with the end of this seabed Beast Tide, there wouldn’t be many more.
The youth then arranged for Dao Hen to use coordinates provided by a Believer to cast the Divine Country Descent Technique, arriving near the Royal Capital.
In this desolate snowy field, he made some temporary arrangements.
Then he approached Zi Di and Zong Ge, observing secretly for a while before officially revealing himself to help.
After explaining to Zi Di what the Divinity test was, Zi Di let out a breath of turbid air: “So, this isn’t a bad thing for Zong Ge, but a good thing?”
“Zong Ge might have a shift in faith, but it is far better than the Blood Vengeance he suffered,” the Dragon-man youth analyzed, “We can’t intervene in such matters, we can only trust Zong Ge.”
“Sorry, I should have returned earlier.” The Dragon-man youth’s eyes were full of warmth.
Zi Di shook her head, looking affectionately at the Dragon-man youth: “No, Master, your choice was correct and wise.”
“You needn’t feel any remorse because the dangers you’ve faced are far greater than mine!”
“From a business perspective, the yields from the Ocean Nest and the Blasphemy Prayer were enormous. Despite the huge risks, the rewards really were too great!”
“I really didn’t think, and I believe no one in the world would have thought, Master, that your experiences this time were too bizarre, too tumultuous, too legendary.”
The youth suffered heavy injuries at the hands of Feng Lian, and he even suspected he had died once.
Then he was transported into the Ocean Nest and gradually explored, finding it was actually part of the Charming Blue Divine Country.
Ocean Nest, the Holy Beast Snow Pear Octopus, Holy Domain Level Zhou Zhang, Transmission Blood Sacrifice, unexpectedly saving Cang Xu, conducting blasphemy prayer with great gains, cleverly capturing the Little Prince, Qing Xin, Sea Snake Lady, Fin Spirit, Ku Feng, witnessing battles between Holy Domain Levels, deceiving the Earth Element Main God, sequentially rescuing Lan Zao, Big Guy, Dao Hen, Hun Tong, fooling the heavyweight Undead Master among the Twelve Saints of the Undead Orthodoxy and stealing the Death Divinity, finally transporting back to easily rescue Zi Di, Zong Ge, and others…
In the cabin, this pair of lovers, after learning about each other’s experiences, began to pour out their hearts.
Separated for a time, both had experienced so much and changed greatly, especially the Dragon-man youth.
But their hearts hadn’t changed; instead, they grew closer.
“Although we successfully escaped from the Mysterious Monster Island, reaching this point, why have the dangers increased?” Zi Di smiled wryly, “In the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, we encountered a powerful mysterious force’s attack. And Master, although benefiting from the Charming Blue God, the repercussion of blasphemy prayer is endless.”
This pair of unfortunate people seemed like survivors on a small boat; the more they strived to survive, the larger the storms on the sea grew.
Zi Di showed intense anxiety and asked the most critical question: “Master, what do you think the Charming Blue God’s state is?”
The Dragon-man youth was silent for a moment, then sighed: “I cannot confirm.”
“But I still think He is slumbering.”
“Everything He bestowed upon me, and the various Divine Artifacts, are the results of Divinity calculations acting automatically.”
“Divinity…” A gleam flashed in Zi Di’s eyes, “So, Master, your appearance this time, actively exposing your Golden Level extraordinary power, is to continue participating in the National Ceremony Grand Duel, ultimately competing for the Duel Godhood hidden within Anqiu?”
“That’s right; that’s exactly why.” The Dragon-man youth nodded, “I believe it’s an excellent opportunity! A god can do anything; although I can only experience a trace of a god’s power, I can sense the greatness and vastness of this power.”
“If I possess the Duel Godhood, it will bring unimaginable enhancement. Even if our redemption plan fails in the future, at least we have a chance to buy time.”
As he spoke, the Dragon-man youth’s gaze drifted, as if recalling the last time he performed a blasphemy prayer.
