Chapter 822: Authority Allocation (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Among them, Ji Chen was most looking forward to Alice and the Authority of the Sinister Tongue. The compatibility between the two was exceptionally high, and he was curious about how Alice’s abilities would evolve after mastering the Sinister Tongue Authority.
Could one control the bodies and souls of living beings with just a word spoken? However, the Sinister Tongue Authority was called “Sinister” for a reason. Being able to control it smoothly without losing one’s mind, and even transforming the dark aspect of the “Sinister tongue” into the orderly aspect of the “holy language,” depended on Alice’s own willpower and strength.
Numerous armies and heroes returned to the back of the giant turtle, slowly disappearing beneath the rolling waves, leaving behind a chaotic mess at the headquarters of the decayed legion.
Two days later, many demon generals and commanders from the current line returned to the Mordor Strait. What they saw was a land that looked like it had been struck by meteorites. The human buildings, although damaged, had been preserved due to demand, but only the foundations remained, along with some debris. The towering demon war structures had completely disappeared, leaving behind only craters.
The supreme commander of the decayed legion, the Decay Lord, was nowhere to be found.
At this time, news came from the orderly camp that their master, the Decay Lord, had been slain, and the slayer was none other than Ji Chen, who had a record of slaying two demon lords!
Once again, the world trembled.
No one had expected that Ji Chen, who was thought to have been staying in his territory all this time, would quietly leave the New Moon Islands and go to the Mordor Strait in the western continent, where he casually slew another demon lord!
How did he do it?
Are demon lords so easy to kill?
As many questions lingered in the minds of the natives and players, they began to form a stereotypical impression of Ji Chen.
– Demon Lord Slayer.
Out of five demon lords, Ji Chen had killed three, almost wiping out an entire family.
Yet, they couldn’t help but be excited. Every time Ji Chen slew a demon lord, it represented a tremendous victory. With the loss of the ruling Decay Lord, the decayed legion was leaderless, and the situation in the western continent would soon see a turning point.
And the balance between order and evil would once again tip.
But the impact of Ji Chen’s actions this time went beyond that. Not only did he slay the Decay Lord, but he also defeated five godly incarnations, dealing significant damage to the dark spirits of the five godly incarnations.
Losing authority, especially when unable to retract it in time, dealt them a heavy blow. As their core power, any damage to authority would significantly weaken their overall power.
Facing ordinary creatures might not matter much, but when facing divine enemies of the same level, such damage could create a significant gap.
Such a gap gradually began to have some impact on the second divine war between the orderly and dark spirits.
In a vast divine realm that was as large as a small world.
Radiant and gentle light enveloped everything, and the air was filled with sacred prayers. The noble and supreme goddess sat on a divine throne formed by light.
“Tinsley, how’s the battle going?”
“Under the goddess’s crown, the situation is gradually improving. Recently, I don’t know why, but the intensity of the dark spirits’ attacks on the divine realm has decreased significantly.”
The demigod follower Tinsley bowed her head respectfully and reported.
The light goddess, with her face veiled in light gauze, expressed slight surprise.
“Oh? Could it be that they see my divine realm as too difficult to conquer, so they’ve redirected their strength to attack other divine realms?”
Tinsley shook her head. “I’ve reached out to other divine realms, but they haven’t noticed any escalation in the attacks. It seems the dark spirits are still focused on entangling us, just as they were before. However, the intensity of attacks on certain individual divine realms has noticeably decreased.
“I speculate that this may be related to the main world. Perhaps you can listen to the prayers of the believers in the main world to learn some information.”
Although the dark spirits used chaotic energy to block the transmission of divine oracles to the orderly divine realm, they could still unilaterally receive prayers from some believers using the power of faith.
The light goddess slightly closed her eyes to perceive. Suddenly, a hint of astonishment flashed through her originally calm eyes, followed by a curve at the comer of her mouth.
“Interesting.”
What did she hear?
Another demon lord nurtured by the dark gods was slain, and once again, it was by that human.
She had noticed the human named Ji Chen long ago when the three sub-sects under the Light Church were exposed for betraying the Orderly Divine Lineage and joining hands with the demons. Ji Chen had exposed the betrayal of the three sub-sects.
Through fragmentary information brought by the prayers of her followers, she became aware of the existence of this human.
Then, gradually, she learned of his series of feats, first slaying the Dreadlord, then the Undead Lord.
Impressive achievements.
And now, in such a short span of time, he had slain the Decay Lord.
To possess the power to slay demon lords at such a young age was truly remarkable.
If the Light Goddess knew that Ji Chen had also taken down five Divine Descendents, she might be even more astonished.
The Light Goddess contemplated the current situation in the main world. Three out of the five demon lords were already gone, and the tide of their attack would soon show signs of ebbing. They might even soon find themselves at a disadvantage.
Their plan to exterminate the Orderly Divine Lineage by invading the main world and slaughtering its followers would gradually crumble. During this period, with the counterattack of the Orderly Divine Lineage, the evil races that believed in the dark gods would also suffer heavy losses.
With the deaths of their followers and the weakening of their faith, it would be the dark gods who had to worry about the decline of their power.
This was a rare opportunity, a perfect moment for their counterattack!
Seeing the changes in the goddess’s expression from the corner of her eye, Tinsley didn’t understand but dared not ask, merely bowing her head in wait.
“Tinsley.”
“Here.”
“Tell the other divine realms that our time for counterattack is imminent.”
“…Yes!”
Not only did the Light Goddess learn about the events in the main world through the prayers of her followers, but also, within each of the divine realms of the Orderly Divine Lineage, each orderly god more or less knew about the situation in the main world and the radiant figure of Ji Chen shining brightly during this period.
The name Ji Chen gradually entered the sight of both the orderly gods and the dark gods.
Some gods were astonished, some were intrigued, and some held expectations.
But there were also gods who felt disgust, hatred, anger, wishing to obliterate his divine soul entirely, such as the Decay God who had suffered a major setback not long ago, among other dark gods.
Among the orderly gods, the Elven Mother Goddess, one of the most powerful deities, couldn’t help but laugh lightly upon hearing this news.
Her laughter was a hundred times more melodious than the most beautiful music in the world as if imbued with the power of life itself. Within her divine realm, flowers suddenly bloomed everywhere, and lush green grass spread from the vine-draped divine throne to the farthest reaches.
“This human has indeed surpassed my expectations a bit.”
With snow-white delicate feet treading on the verdant grass, the Elven Mother Goddess stood up, shaking her head with a smile.
From being a mere mortal in the main world to touching the boundary of divinity and embarking on the path to godhood, this human had taken less than two years.
Two years, to a deity, was no more than a short nap, yet it had brought him to his current state.
Even with her assistance, this would have been impossible.
Or rather, it would have been impossible for him to grow at this pace according to expectations.
This human, unable to be detected or predicted even by [the authority of foresight], was like delving into a quagmire, with no glimpse of the foreseeable future.
She was the most powerful of the orderly gods, yet even she couldn’t see through him. There was only one answer.
That was, there was a force of higher dimensionality interfering and obstructing all gazes directed towards this human.
The Elven Mother Goddess gazed thoughtfully at the sky, her vision seemingly penetrating her divine realm and reaching into the depths of the void.
This force was probably closely related to those who helped the dark gods break their seal, deliberately causing this divine war.
Perhaps through this human, she could unravel it all.
