Chapter 572: Chapter 425: Xu Gu Enters the Divine Gate
"""
[Divine Points +150]
"Keep it," Xu Gu decided not to continue the enhancement.
Continuing the enhancement would only boost the field components and disguise components, which didn’t significantly impact the battle.
"However, it could strengthen one or two one-time gadgets."
Xu Gu’s eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He had witnessed the power of one-time gadgets.
Even a flesh and blood avatar of the Sea God was overwhelmed by his massive array of powerful one-time gadgets.
"Do you have any good one-time gadget recommendations?" Xu Gu asked his Car Servant and battle companions.
The high-end one-time gadgets he had were almost depleted, and the low-end ones wouldn’t make a significant impact even if strengthened.
The Church’s clansmen and Thunder Giant Octopus also had some life-saving one-time gadgets, but they were too poor in quality.
The other kings remained silent.
Including the Elf Queen Leanna, who specialized in this field.
To be honest, Xu Gu had grown too quickly. The knowledge she had accumulated before was already insufficient. Even if she provided materials, at most, she could create some one-time gadgets threatening to Lower Kings.
"I know a method to make one-time gadgets. It’s extremely powerful, but the cost is quite high."
The Earth Dragon Envoy quickly chimed in flatteringly.
"For life-saving items, no cost is too high," Xu Gu replied with a smile.
The Earth Dragon Envoy said, "Divine Blood is the best material. With simple refining, it can become the famous [Divine Wrath Thunder]."
"The cost is indeed not low," Xu Gu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Divine Blood was truly blood from a True God. After absorbing one previously, the purity of his [Death] Dao not only increased significantly but also opened the Rule Authority of the same Supreme Authority [Dao].
The value was extraordinarily high. Initially, he had planned to absorb more Divine Blood obtained from the Thunder Fish King later.
"However, it is acceptable," Xu Gu hesitated for a moment.
As he said, for such life-saving items, the cost was never too high.
In fact, he did need such a powerful life-saving item.
He couldn’t always call for the Champion Marquis, the ’Sky Tower,’ or the ’Chaos Bell,’ or ask for help from the ’mysterious Human Clan seniors’ whenever encountering oversized dangers, right?
"I will certainly not disappoint my master!" The Earth Dragon Envoy began to refine the Divine Wrath Thunder.
Meanwhile, the entire Wind and Thunder Sea was almost completely swept away.
All beings above the Marquess level were slaughtered clean.
"Master, we should leave. The relics have already been opened; if we don’t go now, we might be a step behind them," Long Shi cautiously reminded.
When Xu Gu had battled the Thunder Giant Octopus, the Thunder God’s relics had already been activated.
Many strong individuals were already entering the relics one after another.
She worried that further delays might allow other strong individuals to seize the initiative.
"Treasures don’t go to the ones who arrive first, but to the strong," Xu Gu said calmly, slowly making his way toward the Thunder God’s relics.
Long Shi’s heart trembled when she heard this.
Under normal circumstances, whoever arrives first seizes the treasure.
After all, if everyone becomes your enemy and someone manages to pocket the treasure first, you generally can’t rob them directly, which would incite public outrage.
And then, you’d be attacked by everyone.
However, Xu Gu didn’t seem interested in doing that.
He appeared to regard all the strong individuals entering the Thunder God’s relics as prey!
"Is this the master’s boldness?" Long Shi couldn’t help but whisper.
...
Several minutes later.
Xu Gu arrived at the front of the Thunder God’s relics.
Even though Xu Gu was tens of minutes late, a large number of strong individuals and prodigies still hadn’t managed to enter the interior of the relics.
They crowded together tightly, creating a very noisy atmosphere.
They came from various races, in exotic attire, with different physiques, and varying auras.
Most of them were kings from the Divine Domain Continent; others came from the Mechanical Sea, the Demon Abyss, and other powerful Star Domains.
Far ahead, there was an immense door.
This door, seemingly crafted from special Crystal Stones, emitted a majestic Divine Light, ancient, lingering, and heavy.
Numerous life forms were engraved on the door, all very powerful, including True Dragons, Immortal Phoenixes, Kunpengs, Ba Snakes, Titans, and more.
"This is the Divine Gate."
The Mermaid Queen, Ao Moyun, explained.
The gate to the Divine relics was the Divine Gate.
Only Divines could set foot there.
Or, beings with high divinity.
Hence, this Divine Gate had another special function.
To measure divinity!
The stronger the divinity, the higher the chance of reaching the God Realm or the True God Realm!
At this moment, strong individuals and prodigies were scrambling to enter the Divine Gate.
Trying to see how much divinity they possessed.
At such times, entering the Thunder God’s relics became secondary.
Because everyone was competing.
Each strong individual who entered would cause a brilliance to shine from the Divine Gate, which transformed into a Divine Shadow that soared into the sky.
Some strong individuals triggered a divinity glow of tens of meters, while some prodigies triggered a glow of several hundred meters.
The Divine Domain Continent had been developed for so long that although the Divine Gate wasn’t commonly seen, it was not rare either.
A rule had circulated for judging the level of prodigies.
Generally speaking, a prodigy at the Overlord Level could cause a divinity glow of a kilometer.
They had the potential to be promoted to an Extreme King, becoming a minor Overlord within the stars.
Many other prodigies were not rushing through the Divine Gate, instead discussing the achievements of others.
"Wow, I am not blind, the Divine Son of the Ancient Church, Su Ye, stepping into divinity, actually caused a divinity glow of nine thousand meters!"
"What? Nine thousand meters?! At one thousand meters, there is hope to become an Extreme King. Nine thousand meters?!"
Some who arrived late and didn’t witness Su Ye causing the glow gasped.
They were certainly shocked.
Because theirs were only tens of meters!
Much too short.
"Otherwise, why would he be called the Divine Son? Please, Divine Sons all have the potential to become gods!" said a certain Divine Son’s fan girl.
"The Sun God’s son of the Sun Palace reportedly caused a divinity glow of ten thousand meters!"
"Feels like he completely overshadows the Ancient Church’s Divine Son, Su Ye!"
"I heard a rumor that the Sun’s Son, Yang Hui, is the reincarnation of the Sun God Spirit. Is it true?"
"It should be true. It’s said that when he was born, the entire Sun Palace’s night was bright as day! Just like the Sun God himself!"
The people engaged in discussion were generally very reverent and extremely cautious.
Because the subjects of their discussion were the four Divine Sons!
Not only were their powers immense, but their influence and talent were supreme; barring any accidents, they were destined to become gods!
"It seems demigod-level talent alone is needed to achieve deity. It’s no wonder the Divine Domain Continent could birth four Divine Sons," Xu Gu marveled.
If the Human Clan didn’t activate the [Extreme Prosperity] state, it would be hard to find someone with the potential to become a god in a millennium.
"It’s different; the Mechanical Sea and other beings within the Divine Domain Continent do not require demigod-level talent to become gods," the Queen of Naga, Liu Ying, disagreed.
She had worked hard to elevate her talent to the demigod level; how could she be compared to those four worthless individuals like Su Ye?
"Upon reaching the Extreme Demon King, they will receive external forces, that is to say, the divine power of Gods, or help akin to divine power, to break through and become gods," Liu Ying explained.
"Thus, gods who achieve this are generally weak and have limited potential. Yet, demigod-level talent can independently advance to the God Realm and ascend to nearly the True God level."
"I see," Xu Gu realized.
No wonder the Mechanical Sea had birthed so many gods. The Human Clan, except for a millennium ago when the Human Clan sages broke the chains and initiated the Chosen Wave, allowing many Chosen Ones to enter the [Extreme Prosperity] state and possessing demigod-level talent, thereby achieving several gods.
It was because the Human Clan couldn’t draw upon divine power. They couldn’t use external forces to enter the God Realm.
Of course, even if they could leverage such external power to promote a few Human Kings to gods, it was largely ineffective.
Gods achieved this way were too weak. They couldn’t suppress the domain; instead, they would be targeted by various forces.
Xu Gu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
Was it that those four Divine Sons, who were renowned and arrogant, had talents far inferior to Liu Ying?
"Who is that? How come he looks so vibrant, with an aura reaching into the sky, seemingly destined to become a god even without entering the Divine Gate!"
"He is so handsome! I’m practically falling in love with him!"
Many strong individuals noticed Xu Gu; among them, some female beings had hearts fluttering, filled with joy.
After all, Xu Gu’s allure was too high, with an extraordinary aura!
"It’s him! Xu Gu!"
"He is going to step into the Divine Gate!"
"I wonder how high his divinity glow will be. Judging by his demeanor, he should be on the same level as the four Divine Sons! Of course, there is a flaw with the Human Clan; it’s unlikely to be nine thousand meters high, but it could be four or five thousand meters!"
Some couldn’t help speculating about Xu Gu’s identity.
Suddenly, the scene became lively.
With the Champion Marquis achieving demigod status, Xu Gu’s reputation rose as well.
After all, it seemed the Champion Marquis became a demigod just to protect Xu Gu!
This made them immensely curious about Xu Gu.
