Chapter 1867: I Was Once at the Godking Realm
The Spirit Sovereign reverted back into his human form amid a flash of green light, but on this occasion, his entire body was covered in turquoise scales, and his aura had become noticeably more powerful.
He was looking at Gu Yuena with unbridled yearning in his eyes, and he licked his own lips as he said, “I can’t directly destroy your plane, but with my third Divine Origin realm spiritual power, I’m able to temporarily seal this space. All of your abilities rely heavily upon the elements of this plane; now that the elements are gone, it’s time for you to die. No one is going to be able to come and save you. Unless someone possesses superior spiritual power to mine, there’s no way they’ll be able to find you in this space, so you can cease your futile resistance.
“Soon, you’re going to be converted into a part of my body. You also possess Divine Origin realm spiritual power; once I devour you, perhaps I would be able to completely stabilize my third Divine Origin realm spiritual power rather than having to burn through my own life force to maintain it. You are going to be the first significant reward I reap from this world, and to commemorate you, I’ll adopt your appearance after I devour you. Hmm, come to think of it, you’re very beautiful. Your beauty is unique to the human race; my other brethren won’t be able to appreciate it, but I like it a lot.”
The Spirit Sovereign was appraising Gu Yuena like a cat watching a mouse. In his mind, the outcome of this battle was already a foregone conclusion, and he was already searching for the best place to sink his teeth into in order to devour his prey.
However, a peculiar look suddenly appeared on Gu Yuena’s face, and she made an inviting hand gesture as she prompted, “Anything else? Keep going.”
The Spirit Sovereign faltered slightly upon hearing this. He was saying all of this as a psychological warfare tactic in order to break her down from the inside. Even though Gu Yuena couldn’t draw upon any elements here, she still had her Divine Origin realm spiritual power, and if she were to detonate her spiritual power at all cost, not only would he not be able to receive any benefit, perhaps he would even be wounded. Thus, he wanted to make Gu Yuena resign herself to her fate.
“You’ve seen how good I am to my brethren. As I enhance myself, I’ll also be helping them. On top of that, I’m not like the other abyssal creatures; I cherish the lives of my brethren and will do everything in my power to protect them. If you choose to follow me and become my servant, I’ll let you live and reward you with a position that is second only to my own. On top of that, you may also be able to find a path to reach the third Divine Origin realm if you follow me. As long as you’re willing to offer your soul up to me, I’ll help you achieve all of this and preserve your current consciousness. This is your last chance.”
Gu Yuena suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing this. “Is that so? This is my last chance? I don’t think so. For you, it’s far more beneficial to devour me than to take me as your servant. If you devour my spiritual power and life energy, you’ll be able to elevate yourself to a higher plane of existence. On top of that, I can tell you that if you really do devour me, even the power of this plane won’t be able to continue to restrict you. You’ll become a true deity with power superior even to Demon Sovereign’s, and it may well be possible for you to create a Divine Realm.
“Under these circumstances, how could you possibly be willing to let me live? You’re just worried that I’ll sacrifice myself so you won’t be able to gain anything.”
The Spirit Sovereign faltered slightly upon hearing this before a cold look appeared in his eyes. “It’s not good to be too smart. Looks like I was too naive; how could someone with Divine Origin realm spiritual power be a gullible fool? In that case, cast aside all pretenses. Even if you choose to self-detonate, your divine sense won’t be able to escape from this sealed space, and you’ll still be devoured by me; the only difference is that I’ll only be able to devour a little less than I otherwise would’ve.
“By the way, you say that I’ll be able to directly become a deity once I devour you? I’m rather skeptical about that. What gives you that ability? You don’t possess godly power; you’re just a mortal, so devouring you will only elevate my life force.”
Gu Yuena chuckled, “Who told you that I’m a mortal? Come to think of it, I really have to thank you. In the outside world, I would have to suppress my own power to avoid blowing my cover, but in this perfectly sealed world, there’s no need for me to hold back any longer. I haven’t even recovered to 1% of the power I possessed at my peak, but you’re dreaming if you think a little lizard like you can devour me.”
A strong sense of foreboding welled up in the Spirit Sovereign’s heart upon hearing this. In the next instant, Gu Yuena’s body began to glow with scintillating silver light.
Previously, there had been rainbow elemental light shimmering from her silver battle armor, but right now, a layer of circular scales had begun to appear on the surface of her battle armor, as if the battle armor were transforming. Gu Yuena stretched her body, and even though she clearly hadn’t grown any larger, the Spirit Sovereign was struck by the feeling that he was watching an awakening giant dragon.
A crystal slowly emerged on Gu Yuena’s forehead, and nine-colored light was swirling within the crystal. As soon as the crystal appeared, the seal that the Spirit Sovereign had created began to tremble, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
His expression changed drastically upon sensing this, and he was rooted to the spot as he appraised the woman before him.
“Who are you?” he asked in a stunned voice.
Gu Yuena replied in an indifferent voice, “You don’t deserve to know who I am, but seeing as this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been able to display some of my true power, I’ll commemorate the occasion by telling you. In the Divine Realm, third-rank gods are only positioned slightly above the godly officials at the very bottom. Back when I was still in the Divine Realm, my spiritual power was at the Godking realm!”
Spiritual fluctuations erupted out of Gu Yuena’s body as she spoke, and the sealed space around her instantly turned from black to silver. At the very least, it was now entirely silver on the inside.
In that instant, the Spirit Sovereign was stunned to discover that control over this sealed space had fallen into Gu Yuena’s hands, leaving him completely unable to manipulate it.
“You, you…”
Gu Yuena smiled, and said, “I’m unable to recover my godly powers as I still can’t break out of the restrictions of this plane for now. However, in reality, if I wanted to break through these restrictions, nothing would be able to stop me. The ruler of this plane is only a second-rank god, and even though I’m only a part of the godking that was once the god of all soul beasts, I was still a first-rank god!”
“B, but didn’t you say you only had less than 1% of your peak power?”
The Spirit Sovereign’s voice was already beginning to tremble as he could sense that his opponent’s spiritual power was exerting enormous pressure upon him.
Gu Yuena feigned a contemplative expression before a smile appeared on her face. “That may be true, but how much spiritual power would equate to 1% of a first-rank god’s spiritual power? It would at least have to be equivalent to the spiritual power of a second-rank god. If it weren’t for his sake, I would’ve already returned to the godly level, but if I were to do that, I wouldn’t be able to remain in this world.”
