Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal Chapter 1056 - 45: Crushing Blow! Divine Country Mutation!
Previously on Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal...
Upon witnessing this, Wood Element's expression shifted to one of dawning comprehension.
This technique, capable of transforming individuals into spectral beings, could indeed influence human evolution; it was identified as a form of human Dao method.
"Divine-tier tomes are truly unparalleled! If Zhou Yi is a fragment of the Current World Divine Book, then perhaps its past and future counterparts could also manifest as books of the human Dao. I wonder if this Ancient Chronicles bears any connection to them?"
The capacity of the Ancient Chronicles to alter beings into specters allows for the erasure of past memories, compelling them into unwavering loyalty. This is, in essence, a manipulation of history!
A spark ignited in Wood Element’s eyes at this revelation!
It appeared he had stumbled upon a lead pertaining to the "past page."
Naturally, the full truth would only be unveiled once this tome was fully refined.
However, the bloodline of the Eight-headed Serpent was conspicuously absent within him.
The Eight-headed Serpent was an Evil God, a being of far greater stature than True Dragons, Phoenixes, or any other Divine Beasts.
"Precisely, the Sakura People were capable of refining the Ancient Chronicles; they must possess the divine blood of the Eight-headed Serpent within their lineage!"
Wood Element swiftly directed his gaze towards the remains of Ji Yi.
Then, he advanced, commencing the extraction process...
[Endless Extraction successful! Acquisition: One drop of Eight-headed Serpent Divine Blood (Lower-Grade Divine Tier)]
[Endless Extraction failed! The target’s divine blood has been completely extracted.]
Merely a single drop of divine blood was obtained!
Yet, it was sufficient.
A gentle smile graced Wood Element’s lips!
With this drop of divine blood, he could harness it through the Eight Divisions Massacre technique, compelling the Ancient Chronicles to acknowledge him as master and reveal its secrets.
Wood Element carefully secured the Ancient Chronicles and the divine blood.
His attention then turned to the adjacent scene, where four more corpses awaited his extraction.
These belonged to the remains of Ancestor Teng Man, Ancestor Zhu Xian, Ancestor Ba Long, and Taishi.
He strode forward purposefully, arriving before Ancestor Teng Man to initiate the extraction.
Before long, the process concluded, yielding three drops of Teng Snake Essence Blood, three drops of Ba Long Essence Blood, and an immense 35 million Five-dimensional Attributes.
An exceedingly bountiful acquisition.
At this juncture, he now possessed seven drops of lower-grade divine tier divine blood.
Should his main body succeed in refining all of them, there was a significant prospect of breaking through to the SSS Extreme Bloodline Talent.
This advancement might even enable the elevation of Dharma Heaven and Earth to the intermediate level!
Contemplating this, Wood Element’s gaze was filled with eager anticipation.
He then unleashed the Golden Flame, reducing all the surrounding corpses to mere ashes.
With these minor affairs concluded, he surveyed the dwindling blue-green army, now reduced to mere tens of thousands.
A smile touched his lips, and with a swift movement, he rejoined the fray...
Meanwhile, within the retreating blue-green ranks.
Matthew, Jin Zhongshuo, and Teresa were already paralyzed by sheer terror, their faces etched with the horror of the surrounding carnage.
The three huddled together in a secluded corner, their bodies wracked with tremors.
"Holy Father, everyone is gone! They've almost all been annihilated!"
Jin Zhongshuo, utterly consumed by fear, had soiled himself.
"Holy Father, the celestial populace of our Divine Country has also suffered grievous losses! I implore you... Please, beseech the Lord to emerge and deliver us!"
Teresa’s normally radiant features were ashen with dread!
"The Lord... The Lord has instructed us to wait a little longer, just a bit longer!"
At this moment, Matthew clutched his Bible, his face drained of color from sheer fright.
He had long since attempted communion with the Lord through the sacred text, but his pleas for intervention were met with refusal.
"Damn it~! Holy Father, our people are being slaughtered! Why does the Lord refuse to manifest and rescue his faithful followers?"
Jin Zhongshuo could no longer contain his fury, erupting into a torrent of curses.
Teresa, too, was bewildered; was the Lord not meant to be a deity?
The divine is, after all, omnipotent.
Why, then, did God not extend salvation to them?
Matthew’s voice quivered: "The Lord... The Lord is reluctant to intervene! I possess no solution. The Lord stated that he requires sufficient blood sacrifices to augment his strength."
Jin Zhongshuo, his voice laced with anxiety: "Holy Father! You once assured us that the Lord would shower his blessings upon all his faithful. Why does the Lord not save us now?"
Matthew shook his head despondently: "The Lord indicates that circumstances have shifted! His initial prediction was that Ancestor Guang Ming and Wang Teng would eliminate each other. However, the situation has evolved, and he must accrue greater power to confront Wang Teng."
"So that's how it is, the Lord... Damnation!"
Jin Zhongshuo silently cursed, his heart filled with rage.
Teresa’s expression likewise contorted into one of ugliness.
In that instant, a stark realization dawned upon her: the Lord was not the benevolent deity she had once imagined.
For his own advancement, the Lord seemed willing to unreservedly abandon his followers, even to the point of demanding their blood as an offering.
Was this not fundamentally no different from the actions of Satan?
This thought began to erode Teresa’s faith.
However, a contractual obligation bound her to the Lord, rendering a change in allegiance impossible.
As Teresa pondered, the blue-green army surrounding her had dwindled to mere tens of thousands remaining. Most of the people from the Celestial Divine Country were already annihilated!
"Hmm? There are three over there!"
"It's a Stick Person and two Hundred Colored People!"
Suddenly, several shouts echoed from nearby.
A few disciples from the Celestial Court had finally spotted Matthew and his companions lurking in a corner.
"Eliminate them!"
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Instantly, dozens of swift movements launched outwards!
Dozens of Celestial Court disciples converged on Matthew and the others.
The figures at the forefront were Granny Feng Qi, Clan Leader Qian Xunji, and Zhou Qing.
This sight caused Matthew and his friends to tremble with overwhelming fear!
"Ho... Holy Father, they're coming to vanquish us!"
Jin Zhongshuo shrieked, paralyzed with terror!
"GOD! Lord, grant us salvation!"
Matthew clutched his Bible, his hand shaking from fright.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Within moments, Granny Feng Qi and her group closed in.
Boom~!
An immense surge of combat power erupted, directly crushing towards Matthew.
At this critical juncture, the three attacked simultaneously, their combined momentum awe-inspiring!
Matthew and the others let out screams of pure terror!
Among them, Matthew possessed the greatest strength.
Yet, even with the Bible's assistance, Matthew's might only reached the Celestial Human Peak, vastly inferior to Granny Feng Qi's prowess.
Jin Zhongshuo and Teresa were even more outmatched, destined for immediate destruction.
Faced with the terrifying onslaught about to descend, Matthew steeled his resolve, contemplating abandoning Jin Zhongshuo and Teresa to flee alone.
But at that precise instant, an extraordinary event transpired!
Buzz~!
A clear, resonant chime echoed through the firmament!
Matthew's Bible suddenly radiated a brilliant white luminescence, transforming into a colossal shield of light, which then enveloped Matthew and his companions...
