Chapter 239, The Essence of the True Realm
[The upgrade project for the unique sequence has been unlocked and successfully upgraded.]
Huh?
Wait, where are my spiritual attribute points?
It’s not that I’m not curious about the unique sequence’s upgrade project, Gu Hang really was, but the key thing right now was to get that essence of the True Realm! Spiritual Vision is the top priority!
Don’t mess this up for me!
However, the thoughts that had flashed through his mind in an instant, concerning this so-called ‘unique’ sequence, vanished like smoke the moment its effects materialized before him.
Firstly, a familiar warmth flowed from every part of his body. Gu Hang could clearly feel that his body had grown stronger. At the same time, the spiritual energy that had already recovered a great deal and was no longer dried up now surged even further.
This was the change brought about by the upgrade.
Upon leveling up to lv7, both Gu Hang’s physical and spiritual attributes had grown a bit.
This was the benefit of leveling up itself.
And most importantly, there were the goodies brought by the unique upgrade path.
[Inferior Deity: You have taken control of a fraction of the True Realm’s essence and declined the temptation to become a deity. Now, you can separate a part of your will, and with protection, control this essence to acquire a Subspace Inferior Deity Incarnation. Spiritual attributes +2.]
!!!
It was clear that he was able to unlock the ‘unique’ sequence’s upgrade options because he had obtained this essence of the True Realm.
Gu Hang was now even more grateful that he had chosen not to merge with it.
Although he hadn’t merged, he could still indirectly control this essence of the True Realm and, through it, further control the Storm God Kingdom, which was fundamentally a part of the True Realm.
Doing this through the system was much safer than a direct physical fusion.
Wasn’t this better than a direct fusion?
As such, Gu Hang’s overall role attributes had become:
[Hero: Gu Hang (Faction Leader), LV7, insufficient experience to level up]
[Physique: 12, Spirituality: 27]
[Traits: Psychic Caster, Rage Owl Star General, Master of the Storm]
[Talents: Protective Spiritual Energy, Advanced Telekinesis Control, Mental Manipulation, Iron Will, True Realm Essence]
…
This new talent, [True Realm Essence], originating from the unique sequence, gave him two more points in spiritual attributes.
This was a significant upgrade.
Usually, when leveling up, the spiritual talents drawn typically only add one point.
Today, his personal strength has grown at a staggering rate.
Earlier, he gained two spiritual points from the [Master of the Storm] trait, one from leveling up, and another two from this unique upgrade path.
In such a short period, he had collected five attribute points. This meant his spiritual attribute strength was now over seven times what it had been before!
Still using the Beastman Fleet General that Gu Hang had encountered in the past for comparison, at Gu Hang’s current strength level, it wouldn’t just be about crushing him through the heavy Green Skin armor. Gu Hang could now exert enough telekinetic force to twist the admiral’s armor into a pretzel.
Matins wouldn’t fare much better either. His Terminator Power Armor probably couldn’t withstand Gu Hang’s psychic strength now.
Not to mention, now that he had mastered the Storm series of divine arts, using the power of thunder and lightning, and expending the same amount of Spiritual Energy, the pure lethality and destructive power were even greater than that of Telekinesis.
Facing a squad of champions entirely equipped with Terminator Power Armor, Gu Hang could achieve victory with relative ease!
However, the increase in spiritual attributes was still a basic gain. More importantly, of course, was the mastery of the True Realm’s origin within the Storm God Kingdom.
But after calming down a bit, Gu Hang realized that this was different from a direct fusion.

After fusion, he would become a god. Not to mention many disadvantages, at least by then, he truly would be an Inferior Deity of the True Realm, and his foundation was far better than that of the beast-based Primal Fury Owl. The moment he ascended to godhood, he would certainly be stronger than that brainless creature.
But now, he was still essentially human. He could only indirectly control things like divine origins, the essence of the True Realm, the Divine Realm… a series of such things.
However, reaching this step was already quite satisfying.
Under his Spiritual Vision, the sphere of light trapped within the veils of reality no longer resisted fiercely but had become docile. His tendrils of Spiritual Energy touched the sphere of light with ease, and he could drag it and move it slowly.
Gu Hang pulled it out from the veils of reality and put it back into the Storm God Kingdom.
The obstacle that had previously stopped the Primal Fury Owl dead was now easily overcome by Gu Hang with deliberate effort.
The humans still lingering within the God Kingdom suddenly saw a clear ray of light, crisply shining down upon the desolate ground.
People couldn’t help but look up, only to see one after another, beams of light, like sharp swords, piercing the clouds and reaching the ground.
Soon, the sky, originally covered with dark clouds, was riddled with holes.
The clouds were dispersed, and people saw an immense, blue, and constantly sparking ‘sun’ in the sky.
The people present could not help but grip their weapons tighter, vigilant for any sudden developments.
The most alarmed were the Battle Nuns.
They could sense that the blue electric ‘sun’ in the sky contained a power similar to that of the previously defeated Primal Fury Owl Evil God, which made them wonder if the battle they had just fought was in vain? Had they just killed one Evil God only for another similar one to appear?
But they quickly detected differences between the two.
From this blue lightning ‘sun’, they didn’t feel the overflowing malice commonly associated with the Cult followers, Demons, and Evil Gods they had encountered in the past.
The nuns couldn’t help but want to investigate further.
But at this moment, another attention-grabbing event occurred:
The Military Governor stood up.
Georgette looked hesitantly at the Military Governor, then up at the blue ‘sun’ in the sky, unsure if the Military Governor’s sudden awakening had anything to do with the current phenomena.
But before she could speak, the Military Governor already addressed them:
“Warriors, our mission is accomplished. The Evil God that covets our homeland has been annihilated, and the world is safe. Now, let us return to the real world and savor this victory!”
The Military Governor’s voice echoed within the minds of every soldier.
At the same time, Georgette received a specific message in her mind from the Military Governor, “Commander of the Nuns, I know you have many questions, but please believe that nothing is wrong with me. We will discuss in detail once we are back in the real world.”
Even though Georgette had a thousand questions at that moment, she had to suppress them for the time being.
