Chapter 2069 - 2068: Faith in the Distant Hometown, Twisted Monster

"This will provide an explanation to the youngsters below," Chaos said.

"Being the Ancestor of Monsters carries great pressure indeed!

When those under you grow stronger, it's harder to manage them, they become restless, and I, as the Ancestor of Monsters, must give them a reason."

"If you don't want to be the Ancestor of Monsters, I bet many would leap at the chance to take your place," Xu Zimei laughed.

"But you must do it, otherwise my influence in the Monster Race would considerably diminish."

Presently, before defeating the Nine Domains Heavenly Dao, Xu Zimei strives to quell the environment of the Divine Continent.

He hopes his backyard remains tranquil.

An internal disruption before confronting the Nine Domains Heavenly Dao would be a grave mistake.

Therefore, he needs Chaos and others to help him.

The human heart is unpredictable!

Especially in a medium-sized world, where fish dragon and others coexist, every type of person can be found.

Do not underestimate anyone.

Sometimes an inconspicuous person can incite great disaster.

Thus, while Xu Zimei deliberately refrains from influencing this world's development, at crucial times, he hopes the world's course remains within his expectations.

Just like the Nine Domains Heavenly Dao, while it crushes Heaven Challengers like Xu Zimei,

It also deals with threats from the likes of Old Tree.

Yet, Xu Zimei isn't so extreme.

He allows others to leave the Divine Continent.

But the condition is they must be strong enough to earn the right to dialogue with him.

Furthermore, it needs to happen after the Nine Domains Heavenly Dao is eradicated, in a stable situation.

This is Xu Zimei's bottom line.

One day in the Nine Domains World equates to ten in the Divine Continent.

The different flow of time provides Xu Zimei some advantage.

He isn't in a hurry.

After five days, Xu Zimei starts to sense the emergence of a Power of Faith.

Sitting cross-legged, he verbalizes a formula, allowing the Power of Faith to bolster him.

The mighty force gathers toward him like a collapsing mountain.

This is a brand-new power.

The Power of Faith starts circulating within, weaving through each meridian, each blood vessel.

Up to four limbs, every bone, every organ.

In the end, the powerful Power of Faith even floods Xu Zimei's Divine Soul.

Whether flesh or soul, both are bathed in a golden glow.

Xu Zimei finds his perception entering a brand-new domain.

He distinctly senses each contributor of the Power of Faith, also called believers.

Though not omnipotent, he can slightly perceive the desires and wishes of believers.

As a god, Xu Zimei doesn't consider himself deceitful.

But as a deity, receiving believers' Power of Faith, it greatly boosts both defense and attack.

This is the benefit.

However, gods have obligations.

Believers esteem you, but if a god fails to manifest, this Power of Faith will invariably weaken over time.

This is human nature.

A god has duties and must help fulfill believers' desires and wishes.

Amid the increasing Power of Faith, Xu Zimei feels an unusual strand of it.

This particular Power of Faith doesn't originate from the Divine Continent.

This confounds him.

Could I have believers elsewhere?

To know, Xu Zimei has wronged many, nearly paving a trail of blood to his current position.

Xu Zimei never thought himself a good person, but neither was he bad.

Yet now, with the faith imprint enveloping him, he feels the peculiar strength of this Power of Faith.

Xu Zimei wishes to unravel where this Power of Faith comes from.

Following the trail of faith, his consciousness continuously traces back its source.

His awareness departs the Divine Continent, headed toward the border of the Nine Domains World.

What surprises Xu Zimei is this Power of Faith doesn't stem from the Divine Continent, nor the Nine Domains World.

But comes from beyond the Nine Domains World.

Upon reaching the Nine Domains World, his consciousness can't proceed further.

"Yuan Central World?"

Xu Zimei exclaimed in astonishment.

Consider that Yuan Central World is his old home!

After becoming Emperor, Xu Zimei never returned to Yuan Central World, uncertain of the years that have passed.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Central World still hosts his believers.

This astonishes him greatly.

He tries to sense the desires and wishes within this Power of Faith, suddenly his expression turns strange.

Because the peculiar Power of Faith's aspirations puzzle Xu Zimei.

After a while, he regains his composure.

Heaving a sigh, "Seas change, things alter, they've changed indeed!"

Xu Zimei no longer focuses on this Power of Faith, instead absorbing more from the Divine Continent.

Behind him, the Wheel of Faith forms, beginning to condense True Body of Faith.

Compared to the Power of Faith from Immortal Island, Xu Zimei's faith in the Divine Continent is more grandiose, more vast.

The True Body of Faith quickly solidifies.

Yet, compared to the Human Emperor's True Body of Faith, Xu Zimei's is vastly superior.

This True Body resembles having internal organs, akin to a true life.

...

Time swiftly passes another five days.

Spanning ten days in the Divine Continent, merely a day outside.

Xu Zimei realizes it's time to leave.

Old Tree's bloodline should be sufficiently revived, as well as the quick and smooth progress of all within the Divine Continent.

Moreover, an endless influx of Power of Faith enriches him.

Xu Zimei walks out from the Divine Continent, returning to his physical self.

Upon emerging, he notes the entire world shrouded in darkness.

Now, most who came from Immortal Island have perished, leaving the last batch of strong including Human Emperor struggling to endure.

Xu Zimei looks up.

In the firmament, Old Tree is nowhere to be seen, only a massive, terrifying creature projected against the sky.

That creature is incredibly powerful, with bloodthirsty fangs, three heads, six limbs, entirely covered in fat.

"You're back," Mountain-Controlling River Emperor remarked from the side.

"How did he become like this?" Xu Zimei asked in surprise.

"The bloodline's power is too strong, his current body can't absorb it fully, rendering it perpetually distorted," Mountain-Controlling River Emperor explained.

"Continued absorption might lead to self-destruction without our intervention, the bloodline forcing an explosion."

Xu Zimei subtly senses.

He realizes that Old Tree now surpasses the Three Corpses level.

Yet unsure if it's half-step Enlightenment or completed Enlightenment.

"You're all going to die," Old Tree roared furiously.

His formidable power struggles to move his hand.

Due to swollen limbs, moving his body takes great effort.

Regardless of the difficulty, when the hand drops, it is entwined with the Power of the Great Dao, an overwhelming force descends.

This is the power of Enlightenment.
