Capítulo 1027: Chapter 995: Divine System Devours Its Own
A ghostly light flashed across Xia Feng’s vision.
With a flicker, the scene before his eyes changed, and he looked up.
However, to his surprise.
What met his eyes was not the World Tree that covered the sky and the Pale Dragon head.
Instead, it was a grand and dark temple. Tall pillars with dark golden patterns reached to the sky, and at the end of the steps, there was a solitary Divine Throne, with the Empress reclined upon it, her divine eyes half-closed.
The Apocalypse Temple?
Why is it the Apocalypse Temple? Xia Feng was taken aback, but as if realizing something, he reacted instantly.
It’s an illusion!
Last time in the Sealed Land, the Empress used some method to obscure and block Evil Dragon Miss, deceiving him.
This time, it might be the same method, but what is she trying to do?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Xia Feng vaguely understood the key. The Empress was stalling for time; she wanted to deceive Hua God.
Back in Zone 51, Xia Feng used the Summoning Tree to awaken Evil Dragon Miss.
But the summoning of the Summoning Tree spread through the channel opened by the Black Crow Feather to the Sealed Land, and it needed time.
During this period, Hua God must not find out he was actually in the Sealed Land, otherwise, she might escape!
“Ugh—” While pondering, Xia Feng’s neck was suddenly grabbed and lifted high in the air. The woman in a phoenix dress had appeared before him unnoticed, the half-fox mask tilted slightly, her lips curved in a sly and cold smile.
“Got you.”
In a soft voice, their eyes met, and in Xia Feng’s black pupils reflected the woman’s half-smiling face, as if some ‘Slave Mark’ was being forcibly imprinted on his soul, turning him into some obedient creature.
His black pupils focused instantly, without any hesitation, he launched Spirit Base Infant Transformation—
“Boom——!!!” The spiritual base fissioned, transforming into endless bright light sweeping over the soul, yet that terrifying explosion of light flow was casually fixed in place by the woman’s fingertip, solidifying into a ‘painting’.
Her fingertip touched again, and the painting shattered into countless ink flows, dissipating into nothing.
The woman in the phoenix dress moved unhurriedly, slowly turned her head to look east toward the Emperor’s Throne, and simultaneously, a vast sovereign seat appeared behind her.
She lazily crossed her long legs and sat down, resting her chin on her hand, the fox-shaped mask had dissipated unknowingly, and the corners of her eyes slightly curving with a faint smile.
“Your Majesty, it’s been a long time, have you missed your sister.”
At the moment of the exquisite Divine Smile’s appearance, the entire Sealed Land trembled gently, boundless flower fields bowed low, the branches of the World Tree shivered, even the laws of this place showed an affinity towards her, and all living things praised her beauty.
Upon the Emperor’s Throne, the Empress half-opened her eyes, her divine sound reverberating through the heavens and earth with holy indifference:
“Hua, you have disappointed me greatly.”
“Your Majesty, sister merely wants to fight for her rightful power position, not your life.” The woman in the phoenix dress spoke softly, “Why be so angry.”
“The ancient pact was made ten thousand years ago, Divine System Devour, you are the deputy divine position.”
The Empress sat high with authority, expression indifferent, “But how is it, I’ve barely dozed off, and you have already started to rebel?”
Divine System Devour? In the Nirvana State, Xia Feng heard this phrase and couldn’t help but pause.
This term is similar to ‘Star Position Devour’.
Star Position Devour is the path to achieving Heavenly God.
The twelve beings who enter the twelve Star Palaces all achieved Heavenly God through Star Position Devour.
For example, the Black Moon Goddess devoured the Red Moon. Black Moon is the main palace, Red Moon the deputy palace, achieving the Heavenly God position.
As for the Guihua Star God, it was somewhat special.
Yue Hongli once explained to him that the other Heavenly Gods were two independent True Gods merging, but Guihua is two personalities of one True God.
Hua is the main personality, she split off the ‘Yue Hongli’ deputy personality, devouring herself, and achieved the Heavenly God position.
So, Guihua is inherently a Heavenly God. Her scheming is either to restore the Heavenly God position or… become stronger than a Heavenly God?
Is there a realm above Heavenly God? Xia Feng had some realization. If there is a realm above Heavenly God, then Divine System Devour might just be the path there.
Like the main and deputy palace in Star Position Devour, this realm above Heavenly God also divides into main god and deputy god.
Ten thousand years ago, Tianwu Empress and Hua God had forged an alliance, with the Empress as the main god and Guihua as the deputy god.
But after the Empress fell asleep, Hua God likely wasn’t content with being subordinate and began stirring things up.
Xia Feng roughly guessed the reason behind Hua God’s scheme against the Empress, but also grew more puzzled.
Evil Dragon Miss’s strength seemed much stronger than a Heavenly God; could it be that she is in that realm above Heavenly God?
But if she is already in that realm, why does the Empress still want to ‘Divine System Devour’ Guihua?
Various doubts coiled in his heart, the time for Nirvana had come, Xia Feng’s form quietly emerged on the Divine Throne, beside the woman in the Emperor’s skirt.
“Rebellion sounds so unpleasant.”
The woman in the phoenix dress shifted her gaze to Xia Feng, the corner of her eye curving with a slight smile, “Your Majesty, why not hand this ant over to me? Once I’ve had my fun, perhaps I’ll leave this Apocalypse Temple and no longer rebel against you or covet your divinity, how about it?”
The Empress’s expression remained calm: “He is my believer; you may not harm him in the slightest.”
“Oh?” The woman in the phoenix dress reclined, resting her chin on her hand, her tone lazy, “A believer? Then after Divine System Devour, won’t he be a believer of mine as well?”
Speaking, her tone suddenly shifted to cold and sinister, full of malice, “Since he is a believer, then turning him into a dog under my feet, Her Majesty shouldn’t mind, right~!?”
“…..”
Xia Feng’s scalp tightened, it seemed Hua God really hated him now. From the look in her eyes and her tone, she wouldn’t rest until he was tormented a million times over.
But…. a mere former Heavenly God dares to contend with me, ‘Xia · Pale Saint · Abyss Saint · Witch Companion · Sumeru Realm Master · Feng’?
He lifted his chin, arrogantly sneering at the woman on the far-off sovereign seat, a contemptuous smirk tugging at his lips, “Tch~”
Hua: “!!!”
No, I’m going to die from anger, going to die from anger, oh it hurts! Hua instinctively wanted to clutch her chest, dispelling that faint phantom feeling, but fortunately, she endured, her fingers on her cheek clenching tightly.
Such… insolence, human!
One minute, Dubhe Five had one minute left to stabilize, she must continue to stall.
Endure!
Ignoring Xia Feng’s provocation on purpose.
The scene momentarily fell silent, neither of the entities on the Emperor’s throne and the sovereign seat said a word, quietly staring at one another across the distance.
Hua God found it amusing in her heart, heh~ I’m waiting for Dubhe Five to stabilize, what are you waiting for~
Then, she saw a scene that made her even more expectant.
The foolish human took out three Golden Sparrow Feathers and handed them to the Empress, his voice respectful and deep:
“Your Majesty, here is the spiritual material you requested.”
The Empress, with not a hint of suspicion, devoured the three feathers directly, attempting to restore her strength with them.
Good, everything is proceeding according to plan.
