Chapter 403: Chapter 403 – Guesses
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the quiet courtyard, two figures faced each other and looked at each other.
Chen Heng just sat there, his dark golden eyes staring at Sloan in front of him.
To be honest, being stared at by his gaze would give people tremendous pressure.
That kind of pressure was unprecedentedly strong. If he were just an ordinary mortal, he would probably feel his soul collapse just by standing there.
Under this kind of gaze, Sloan also felt terrible. He could feel a terrifying pressure coming, making him feel like he was suffocating.
Feeling this pressure, he took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth. “Yes, the chance to ascend to become a God…”
“In the past era, our world had an upheaval…”
“During that upheaval, an accident happened in our world…”
“An accident?” Chen Heng asked back.
“Yes, a severe accident…”
Sloan nodded and continued, “There are records of that upheaval in the classics of the Church of Nature.”
“It is said that on that day, another world came from the Void and merged with the World of Gods…”
“It was also a very large and powerful world. The powerful people in it were not inferior to the Gods…”
“And that world is the Abyss…”
The words fell.
When he heard this, Chen Heng’s heart could not help but move.
There were indeed records about the Abyss World in the World of Gods.
In the beginning, he was not surprised.
After all, a powerful world like the World of Gods had many different interfaces and would form different small secret realms.
Those secret realms could be seen as small worlds that surrounded the World of Gods and relied on the World of Gods to exist.
It was not strange that there might be different creatures in there.
Chen Heng initially thought that the Abyss World might be one of them.
However, from what Sloan said, the so-called Abyss World was actually not a small world of the World of Gods but a complete outsider.
Even the strength of the Abyss World has far exceeded his expectations, and it could actually be compared to the World of Gods.
This was far beyond Chen Heng’s expectations.
However, at the same time, this also evoked some of Chen Heng’s memories.
When he entered the World of Gods from the Void, he seemed to have seen a scene back then. It was an extraordinarily unique and terrifying scene.
In the Void, two sunlike stars interweaved, and more than half of their bodies had fused. The two worlds had merged into one and were about to fuse.
And now, it seemed that those two worlds should be the World of Gods and the Abyss World, these two incredible worlds.
And from Sloan’s words, it seemed that the reason why the Gods of this world were silent was also related to the fusion of the two worlds.
At this moment, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.
In front of him, Sloan continued to speak, describing the situation back then.
“At that time, a world called the Abyss World descended into the World of Gods, and then mutation occurred…”
He stood there and looked at Chen Heng before continuing, “In the Abyss World, there are many devils. The strongest one is known as the Demon Ruler. He is the most powerful demon.
“The Demon Ruler’s power is not inferior to that of the Gods at all. His strength has reached a terrifying level.
“Then, the two worlds began to fight.
“After countless years of fighting, the Earth began to shatter, and life withered. Even the two worlds were almost destroyed…
“The Origin of the two worlds was damaged, and then there was a deep impact, which made the heavily injured Gods fall into silence…
“After that, after countless years, the world slowly recovered and returned to the current state…
“Now, because of the world’s recovery, the originally silent Gods will return to this world again.
Standing in place, Sloan looked at Chen Heng in front of him and said.
“It sounds good…”
Sitting in his seat, Chen Heng listened to Sloan’s words and could not help but nod. “But, what does this have to do with the opportunity you mentioned?”
“Of course, it has to do with…”
Sloan nodded and then said with a smile, “In this world, nothing can be accomplished all at once…
“The return of the Gods is the same.
“Although the world has returned, and the Gods will return, the returning Gods are no longer the powerful existences that were once high and mighty.
“After their return, their power will fall to a low point, reaching an extremely weak degree…
“And if we can take this opportunity to obtain the Godhead left by the Gods, then there will be a new opportunity, and we can become a member of the Gods in the future, becoming a brand-new God…
“This is the opportunity I’m talking about…”
Hearing this, Chen Heng was silent for a moment and seemed lost in thought.
There is no denying that what Sloan said was a secret.
Moreover, there seemed to be a certain degree of credibility in it.
He thought for a moment and then continued, “What can I gain by cooperating with you?”
“What do you want?
“What we want is actually very simple…”
Listening to Chen Heng’s words, Sloan immediately let out a sigh of relief.
In the quiet courtyard, the conversation between the two continued.
It was not until a long time had passed that Sloan walked out of the courtyard and left in a hurry.
When he left, even though he hid it well, one could still see the joy that was forcefully suppressed on his face.
From his looks, he had gained a lot from this meeting today.
In the manor, watching Sloan’s figure leave, Chen Heng was still sitting there by himself, thinking.
The various messages that Sloan had said just now were still echoing in his mind.
“The God of Nature, huh…”
Recalling the words just now, he could not help but smile.
Just like the Dusk Cult, the reason why the Church of Nature was so active at this moment and even took the initiative to meet Chen Heng was also for a purpose.
Their purpose was nothing else but the God they believed in, the God of Nature who had fallen into eternal silence in the legends.
The highest goal was for the Church of Nature to reawaken the God of Nature who had fallen into eternal silence and let him reappear on this world.
To be honest, this goal was challenging.
After all, compared to other churches, the Church of Nature was weak and could not provide enough power to revive the God of Nature.
The God of Nature’s condition was much worse than other Gods.
Even if it fell into silence, the other Gods could still maintain their instincts and bestow their believers’ divine power.
However, the God of Nature’s instincts were almost broken. Even the believers found it very difficult to perceive him.
Under such circumstances, the revival of the God of Nature was undoubtedly much more difficult than other Gods. The power needed would be even greater.
Because of this, the Church of Nature took the initiative to find Chen Heng, hoping to cooperate with him.
Perhaps, after discovering the battle between Chen Heng and the Dusk Cult, they had already made this plan.
Of course, Chen Heng did not care about this. It was just taking what he needed.
Coincidentally, the Church of Nature also had what he needed.
Chen Heng himself did not care about the various promises made by the Church of Nature, including the promise that they would do their best to help him obtain the Godhead after the God of Nature recovered.
This was something that was not even close to being complete.
The God of Nature had yet to recover, and the Church of Nature still needed Chen Heng’s help. Naturally, they would make whatever promises they could.
But once the God of Nature revived, the situation would be different.
At that time, whether the revived God of Nature would keep up the promises or not was still a huge problem.
Moreover, Chen Heng had strong doubts about what they said, that obtaining the Godhead would allow one to become a new God.
In Chen Heng’s understanding, the Godhead of a God should be equivalent to the cultivation achievements of the God himself. It was the condensation of their painstaking effort.
And could such things really be inherited by others?
Or, even if it could really be inherited, could it ensure that it would not be influenced by the God and become an incarnation of that God to a certain extent?
Chen Heng was very suspicious of this.
From the beginning, he was not interested in this matter.
However, although he was not interested in these promises, he was still interested in other things.
Even though it had long fallen, the Church of Nature was, after all, a church of a true God, and there were still a lot of good things in it.
Some of them happened to be the things that Chen Heng needed. For example, the various ancient books and secret treasures that the Church of Nature had stored over the years.
And what Chen Heng valued the most was the extraordinary power inheritance after the second ascension.
Long ago, Chen Heng had already surpassed the Second Ring of this world and reached a higher level.
However, his power did not come from his cultivation. Instead, it came from the nourishment of divine power and the drive of divinity.
Because of the drive of divine power and the nourishment of divine power, his own level of life was gradually rising, so it has gradually changed and continued to improve.
This kind of power came very quickly and also very easy. The speed of the improvement was so fast that Chen Heng absolutely could not imagine in the past.
However, it was precisely because of the speed of the improvement that Chen Heng’s current predicament was caused.
His power was powerful, and not even the Third Ring and Fourth Ring in the World of Gods nor a higher Ring can match his current strength.
However, he knew nothing about his own level or even the situation.
This was the flaw of the lack of a system.
Chen Heng had no idea where he should go after lacking the inheritance related to extraordinary strength, which was why he was in such an awkward situation.
Now, the Church of Nature had taken the initiative to join him, giving Chen Heng a chance.
Compared to the other churches in this world, although the Church of Nature had long declined, it was still a church of a true God.
In the past, it had once been glorious, not any inferior to the powerful Churches of today.
In such a church, there were obviously inheritances from the past.
These inheritances could complement Chen Heng’s own system and give him a clear understanding of the situation in front of him.
This was good news.
Compared to these things, the other items in the Church of Nature were also crucial, but they were just not as valuable in Chen Heng’s view.
After all, at the level he was standing at now, those ordinary secret treasures were already worthless.
Not to mention his clone had also found a secret realm left behind by a God.
Many past powerhouses left behind traces and secret treasures in that secret realm. Its value was definitely much higher than the things in the Church of Nature.
With these things, Chen Heng naturally would not care much about the things in the Church of Nature.
While Chen Heng was deep in thought, on the other side, Sloan had already left Chen Heng’s manor and returned to the Church of Nature’s base in Kaki City.
As he walked into the Church of Nature, everything inside was slowly reflected in his eyes.
Although the Church of Nature took up a large area around him, the buildings inside were already old. At a glance, they looked very simple and unadorned, giving off a unique historical charm.
Around them, an ancient statue of God stood.
When Sloan reached here, he did not pay attention to the others around him. He walked straight into the depths of the church.
Soon, he reached the depths of the church and saw the others.
At this moment, the other core members of the Church of Nature were already waiting inside the church. From the looks of it, they were waiting for news from Sloan.
Looking at the figure of Sloan walking over from the outside, they quickly turned around and walked towards him.
“How’s the situation?”
A tall, middle-aged man was the first to speak. He looked at Sloan in front of him with concern written all over his face.
Of course, it is the same for the others present. At this moment, all of them were staring at Sloan, wanting to know the specific news from him.
Under their gazes, Sloan took a deep breath and then said, “We’ve already discussed it.”
“His Highness Viscount Acto has agreed to our request to form an alliance with us.”
He took a deep breath and then said this.
As soon as he said this, the place was instantly silent. It was not until a long while later that waves of voices could be heard.
Hearing Sloan’s words, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, a huge weight had finally been lifted from their hearts.
“That’s good, that’s good…”
Another old man standing at the side heaved a sigh of relief. He then said, “With the cooperation of His Highness Viscount Acto, there shouldn’t be too many problems with our future plans…”
“Waking up our lord gives us more confidence…”
Everyone present let out a sigh of relief.
“What’s the situation with His Highness Viscount Acto?”
After standing in place and confirming the news, someone spoke again. Looking at Sloan in front of him, he asked, “Is he the incarnation of a certain God, or is he just Divine Blood?”
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Sloan again.
The reason why Sloan wanted to meet Chen Heng in person was to cooperate with him and find out who he was.
Was he the incarnation of a certain God or something else?
They had seen the fight between the Dusk Cult and Chen Heng.
At that moment, the power and aura that Chen Heng had displayed did not seem like an ordinary Awakened Divine Blood.
As priests, they were very clear about the power of an Awakened Divine Blood.
Just like the level that Chen Heng had displayed before, in their opinion, it was impossible for an ordinary Awakened to display it.
The divinity that was revealed was so powerful, and the divine aura was so dazzling that it was enough to compete with a divine artifact.
To be able to do this, it would be strange if it was really just an Awakened Divine Blood.
The most special thing was the human figure that was revealed after that. That huge incarnation of the Divine Figure was undoubtedly the power of a God.
It was precisely because of this that they were so eager to connect with the other party.
After all, if they did not have the support of a God-level power in the coming era, they would undoubtedly trail behind by a lot.
The power of the Church of Nature itself was inferior to those powerful Churches. If they did not think of a way to fight for a chance, they might be directly eliminated.
On the spot, under the gazes of the people around him, Sloan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking.
The others around him did not disturb him. They just stared at him, waiting for his answer.
After a moment, Sloan finally raised his head and spoke.
“That feeling… is unique…”
He recalled the feeling before and said, “The Divine Blood in His Highness Viscount Acto’s body is more powerful than I’ve ever seen before.”
“Before this, I tried to use the Eye of Nature to observe more, but I couldn’t see what was inside his body.”
“The power of the Eye of Nature was blocked by an invisible force. So, I couldn’t see the source of his power.”
“I can’t believe it…”
Hearing Sloan’s words, the expression of the nature priest changed.
The Eye of Nature was a divine artifact left by the God of Nature to the Church of Nature. According to legends, it was a divine artifact formed from one of the God of Nature’s eyes, and it possessed the power to see through all falsehoods.
No matter what existence it was, in front of the Eye of Nature, its source would be seen clearly.
Even if it was a divine artifact, it was the same.
Before this, they had used the divine artifact, the Eye of Nature, to spy on the battle between Chen Heng and the Dusk Cult. Thus, they understood what had happened.
But now, even the divine artifact, the Eye of Nature, was unable to see His Highness Viscount Acto?
This was truly a shocking matter because it was self-evident that ordinary objects were absolutely unable to block the prying eyes of the Eye of Nature.
The only things that could block the prying eyes of the Eye of Nature were existences at a higher level.
