Chapter 1660: Chapter 1105: Godhood
In the depths of the desolate world of zombies.
Wu Heng sat cross-legged among the jagged rock formations, his aura subtly merging with the heavens and earth.
After becoming a hero, truly ascend to the realm of the Divine Spirits!
However, it was different from what he had previously thought; reaching the goal of faith doesn’t immediately make one a god, but one must ignite the ’Divine Fire’ to ascend to the Divine Domain.
This means that before becoming a god, he still needed to make some preparations.
To meet the requirements for igniting the Divine Fire.
And when the ’Divine Fire’ was mentioned to ignite, it referred to burning ’emotions’.
This suddenly reminded him of the few Special Items acquired earlier from the Holy Court, all with the side effect of ’abandoning humanity’.
Does this mean... that after becoming a god, a part of humanity will inevitably be replaced by divinity?
Divinity! Humanity!
In Wu Heng’s understanding, there is still a significant difference between the two.
Human emotions are rather short-sighted and attentive to the present; emotions are vivid, complex, and uncontrolled.
Love, hate, sorrow, joy are the core of life, capable of deep empathy.
Whereas divinity, more eternal and macro, overlooks all beings from a high place.
Perhaps remembering what love is, but no longer truly feeling it, losing the ability to empathize, instead pursuing some ’higher’ goal or balance.
Like humans observing ants in an anthill, understanding the division of labor of worker ants, but unable to comprehend the emotions of the colony.
Not sure if his thinking was correct, but in his mind, divinity also had its flaws.
So, to the gods who have abandoned humanity, they have long drawn a line from humans, who are merely tools for gathering faith.
"Divinity doesn’t seem to be a good thing," Wu Heng felt that divinity was somewhat like his Skeleton.
Without any emotions, just completing the pre-planned tasks.
Must humanity be burned away?
Or could it be, if the body is enough to burn, emotions might be preserved?
It’s not impossible.
If so, before becoming a god, it’s better to strengthen the body to a sufficient level.
To allow it to burn a little longer.
After pondering these thoughts, he calmed down again and continued practicing the "Creation Scripture."
...
A half-month passed in the blink of an eye.
This day, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly became violent, and the Power of Laws surged towards him like a tide.
The scene was similar to when he ascended to hero; celestial light converged, elements rushed around, enveloping him.
Wu Heng felt himself gradually merging with this world, clearly perceiving the transformation of all things around him, even the invisible yet orderly trajectories of the laws.
It was not just the strength provided by the hero’s constitution, but the entire world was nourishing him.
[Unlock Trait: Life Weaving]
[Life Weaving]: Touch the source of life, can repair innate Dao wounds, reconstruct damaged souls.
Life Weaving... creating life?
With a slight movement of his thoughts, the soil before him surged, transforming into a snow-white rabbit.
Immediately, the white rabbit came to life, cast a frightened glance at him, and turned to dart into the wild grass.
True life.
Wu Heng widened his eyes, meaning that the final stage of the "Creation Scripture" divine skill is to create real life forms.
Indeed, it’s like the myth of Nuwa creating humans.
After trying to create two more life forms, he slowly stood up, released the [Teleportation Technique], and returned to the camp.
...
Inside the living room.
Lilith, Shanaela, Philippa, and others were discussing the progress of their cultivation in recent days.
Those practicing the "Creation Scripture" remained in the second and third tiers, while Lilith and the Wood Elf Sisters, who were practicing the "Body Refining Technique," all entered the third stage.
Wu Heng’s figure silently emerged, he walked over and sat beside Lilith, hugging her shoulder, "Tomorrow, I’ll join you all in practicing the Body Refining Technique."
Lilith raised an eyebrow: "Finished the Creation Scripture?"
"Finished!" Wu Heng chuckled.
Everyone looked surprised, while Lilith pursued, "How is the effect?"
Wu Heng gave a mysterious smile, held his hand up nonchalantly, and two butterflies elegantly formed from his palm, flapping their wings, flying erratically in the living room for two circles before flying out of the window.
"A spell?" Shanaela was curious.
"Creation!" Wu Heng snapped his fingers lightly, and a rabbit and a sparrow were created, lively darting around.
Everyone immediately realized, this wasn’t an illusion technique.
But real life creation.
This..., it already seems like something only a deity can do!
No, wait!
There’s no record of such life creation ability even among the Divine Spirits of the Holy Court.
"Can... can you create humans?" Philippa suddenly inquired.
Wu Heng shook his head: "In theory, it’s possible, but it defies moral norms, so let’s not try it."
"It’s indeed scary, even scarier than a skeleton." Philippa shuddered a bit.
Lilith took over the conversation: "So, you plan to re-cultivate the Body Refining Technique?"
"Yes, that’s the plan."
Lilith nodded, "Then let’s eat first, we can go after the meal."
After lunch.
Wu Heng and Lilith, with a few others, left the camp, heading towards the volcano.
...
With a flick of time, another half-month passed.
Wu Heng completed the third stage of the "Body Refining Technique," and instructed Qi Hancai to find another volcano to properly place the fire egg formed this time.
Meanwhile, he continued to consume the corpse core potion.
However, in the zombie world, there were only a few Level 15 Skeleton Alchemy Warlocks to study the evolution of zombies.
They could make elixirs with the corpse core, reaching a maximum of Level 2.
During this period, Wu Heng kept taking elixirs, later choosing to directly devour third and fourth-tier corpse cores, relying on his physique to withstand the virus.
Forcibly pushing his attributes to a new height.
...
One day, in the wild.
Wu Heng stood on an open field, with Lilith and the other ladies behind him.
In the distance, the outline of the volcano was faintly visible, the air filled with a faint scent of sulfur and dust.
