Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Ghostly Creatures and Divine Spirit
“Woof, master don’t be sad! Mao Mao will let you pet its tail!”
Mao Mao happily wagged its tail, stood up, and licked Lu Wenwu twice.
“No, I’m not upset.” Lu Wenwu stroked Mao Mao a few more times, “I just didn’t expect this thing to make such a strong entrance, only to end up being a complete paper tiger. It’s really unsatisfying.”
With the Ghost Domain Overlord’s death, the ghostly creatures and flesh puppets it controlled died instantly.
The four who had been holding the line outside received a notification that the side quest was completed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a quick check with his Divine Sense, and confirming his teammates were fine, Lu Wenwu took out the Soul Crystal awarded by the quest.
[Name: Soul Crystal (Pure)]
[Type: Curiosity]
[Introduction: A crystal formed by pure soul energy, containing the essence power and partial memory of a quasi-divine creature (Pseudo-Eternal Glory Ghost God) before its demise, can be used for soul enhancement.]
[Note: Do not use if soul attribute is below 1000, use with caution if below 1500]
“1500? I’ve hit the mark,” Lu Wenwu sighed, “Damn thing, a proper B+ level BOSS, and killing it didn’t even drop an attribute point, wasteful!”
Then, he swallowed the ping-pong ball-sized, crystal-clear Soul Crystal in one gulp.
Nothing is better than Devouring Heaven and Earth for using it!
Under the effects of Devouring Heaven and Earth, the Soul Crystal quickly transformed into pure energy and flowed into Lu Wenwu’s body.
Streams of pure energy rapidly repaired the damaged parts from the combat and continuously strengthened his already extremely robust physique.
Devouring Heaven and Earth is indeed worthy of its divine technique name.
In just a few breaths, Lu Wenwu’s [Body] attribute soared and finally stopped at 1846 points.
With the attributes absorbed from the Soul Crystal and those gained from earlier combat, the battle at the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place wasn’t for nothing.
Aside from the attribute point rewards, the memory fragments of the Ghost Domain Overlord within the Soul Crystal were even more valuable.
Earlier, Lu Wenwu was curious why the Eye of Insight showed it as the “Ghost Domain Overlord,” while the system referred to it as a Pseudo-Eternal Glory Ghost God.
Now, the truth is basically clear.
The God of Eternal Glory is the belief of the Ghost Masters in the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place.
Ghost Masters who harness ghostly creatures tend to be somewhat neurotic in their thinking.
It’s kind of like the Uchiha Clan’s collective madness, with very few normal people.
Only those with extremely strong willpower can resist the negative erosion brought by ghostly creatures.
In this world, mental and soul power truly exist, making many impossibilities possible.
Through the years of worship by numerous Wastelanders and Ghost Masters, vast amounts of human spiritual power have gathered in one place, forming a powerful thought ripple.
Or to use a more easily understood term—Power of Faith.
In the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place, a vast amount of Power of Faith gathered on the Divine Statue of the God of Eternal Glory, endowing the statue with a unique spirituality.
This was originally a good thing.
If accumulated over the years with the devoted worship of countless Wastelanders, the God of Eternal Glory in their faith could actually be nurtured.
But the problem is, the ones worshipping this deity are Ghost Masters.
A bunch of mentally unstable Ghost Masters!
The Ghost Shadow Gathering Place is on the edge of the Land of Demons.
The vast amounts of Ghost Qi and Yin Qi have long permanently altered the environment here.
The Ghost Masters, mixed with the power of crazy thought currents, were like the fuse of a firecracker.
Finally, a large amount of negative power was triggered, and the pure spiritual seed was stained and covered by this negative power.
An unprecedentedly powerful ghost entity was born!
It connected to the minds and souls of all the believers in the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place, controlled all the ghostly creatures born and raised here, and instinctively devoured the spiritual seed being nurtured in that Divine Statue.
The vast thought currents created and influenced the Master of Ghosts.
It stubbornly believed it was the God of Eternal Glory.
In reality, it was just a ghostly creature that devoured belief, a creature unaware of what it truly was.
Spirituality, Ghost Qi, and Yin Qi tightly entwined, nurtured by the power of thought currents.
If Lu Wenwu hadn’t arrived in time, within a few days, once this Ghost Domain Overlord fully matured, it might have really used the Power of Faith accumulated for nearly two hundred years to nurture a shred of divinity, forming its own ghostly domain.
At that point, it would have transformed into a living ghost god.
From It to He, a truly divine creature!
Even if it were just an Immoral Earth Deity, it would have been halfway out of the mundane realm.
Though it might not have been very strong, its life essence would have genuinely improved.
Only after viewing the memories of the Ghost Domain Overlord did Lu Wenwu finally understand why he won so easily.
He got extremely lucky.
The not-fully-matured Ghost Domain Overlord was provoked, pulling out prematurely, causing the ghost domain and killing technique to be incomplete.
Ghostly creatures have all their strength tied up in their killing techniques besides their Ghost Qi.
Without it, it’s like Tyson boxing without his arms.
Even though Tyson biting people’s ears looks strong, it’s ultimately a facade, shattering easily.
The melee capability of the Ghost Domain Overlord was pathetically low, and its basic capabilities were full of holes, thus meeting its demise under Lu Wenwu’s brute fists.
A ghostly creature attempting to become the God of Eternal Glory fell, but this did not mean everything had ended.
This was merely one city, one Divine Statue, one ghostly creature.
The faith in the God of Eternal Glory isn’t limited to this one location!
“So… does the God of Eternal Glory truly exist?”
After digesting the Soul Crystal, Lu Wenwu looked around. Most of the things in the large house had been shattered in the recent battle.
Only the Divine Throne beneath the Divine Statue of the God of Eternal Glory was still mostly intact.
“Big Tyrannosaurus, are you okay? Hey! Why is your armor scattered? This new armor looks quite dashing!”
While Lu Wenwu was searching for clues, Su Qinghong rushed in like a gust of wind and immediately noticed his two bare arms.
The once complete Combat Armor was now a half-jacket.
Lu Wenwu held it in his hand, planning to clean it later before using Devouring Heaven and Earth on it.
“Huh? Where did this… Oh Gosh, Divine Beast Bloodline!? Is this… the power of flame?”
The Big Fox Lady’s anxious expression went blank upon seeing Mao Mao, sensing an intangible bloodline pressure continuously spreading from its adorable body.
Though the You Su Clan of the fox race has a long-standing heritage with numerous strong members, being one of the Divine Continent’s Four Great Fox Races.
But their ancestors never had an exceptionally powerful being.
You can’t just say Diao Chan is famous, so she’s better in combat than the Unrivaled Admiral Pan Feng, can you?
Compared to the legendary Divine Beast Huo Dou that could cover for the Fire God when taking a break, the You Su Clan is far behind in terms of bloodline.
