Chapter 564 22 Descendant of Goddess Nuwa Zhao Ling'er_1
"Can preaching and sacrificing really obtain the blessing of the Lord of Hongmeng?"
"If there is a girl with great destiny, she can be offered up as a Sacred Girl and ascend to God's kingdom!"
"Divine weapons, rare and exotic beasts..."
"..."
Under Chen Nan's explanation, everyone understood the rules of the sacrifice, and countless powerful beings became excited.
Especially Nangong Xian'er, Dongfang Phoenix, and others, along with their backing forces, because they had already been confirmed by Chen Nan to be offered up as the next Sacred Girls.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed through the sky. A Purple-Gold Divine Dragon was seen rapidly flying from the horizon, singing:
"I am a dragon from the East, walking through a forest of knives and a rain of swords. Piercing Sword Qi slashes by, a sky full of Magic Treasures flies past. I can only clench my cold teeth and respond with two long howls, AWOO... AWOO... For nothing else, but for that legendary beautiful girl... to marry a Bald Head! AWOO..."
"Kid, what rare birds and exotic beasts can compare to this dragon lord? Offer me, your dragon lord, up next time!" the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon said proudly as it flew before Chen Nan.
"..."
Chen Nan was at a loss for words. This dragon clearly wasn't serious. Just listen to the song it was singing; wouldn't it be beaten to death if it were offered up?
"Damn your immortal hide! What are you looking at?"
The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, seeing Chen Nan staring blankly at it, said with a cocky expression, "Haven't you seen such a handsome dragon before?"
Chen Nan: "..."
...
While the Divine Tomb's World was abuzz due to the Lord of Hongmeng, the Seven Unparalleled Heavenly Maidens had already arrived above the Thirty-three heavens of God's kingdom.
They looked at the terrifying Spiritual Roots that pierced the heavens and earth. They gazed upon Immortal palaces and pavilions as vast as the Ancient Universe. It was like a commoner entering an Immortal palace, or Grandma Liu stepping into the Grand View Garden.
"You've just arrived in God's kingdom. Let me first take you to meet the God Lord!" Zhan Lianxue, decked in golden armor and holding the Golden War Spear, said to the nervous Dantai Xuan and the other six women.
Her arrival in the Divine Tomb's World had forged some connection with Dantai Xuan and her six companions.
"Thank you, Divine Envoy!" Dantai Xuan and the other six women clasped their hands in thanks.
"No need to be polite. My name is Zhan Lianxue; you can call me Sister Xue," Zhan Lianxue said generously.
"Sister Xue!" the seven women called out.
"Let's go!"
Zhan Lianxue led the seven of them toward the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace.
The Hongmeng Heavenly Palace was majestic and awe-inspiring. The aura it exuded made even them, with their current Cultivation Levels, feel an immense throbbing in their hearts.
Even the entirety of the Divine Tomb's World seemed like mere dust before the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, utterly incomparable.
They walked into the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace with reverence, nervousness, and excitement, and immediately saw the figure seated on the highest divine throne.
What kind of figure was that?
He seemed to embody all the Boundless Realms, all moments of glory, in one.
Like the manifestation of the supreme Dao, ancient and profound.
And like the Heavenly Emperor, ruling supreme over all the heavens and realms.
Ineffable.
Inconceivable.
Indescribable.
"Zhan Lianxue pays respects to the God Lord!" Zhan Lianxue's resounding voice brought Dantai Xuan and the other six back to reality. They quickly knelt and kowtowed, "Dantai Xuan (Li Ruolan...) pays respects to My Lord!"
"You need not be so formal!"
Hongmeng's voice resonated in their minds and echoed in the depths of their hearts. It was not grand or imposing, but warm and inviting, as refreshing as a spring breeze.
Their previously anxious hearts inexplicably settled.
They thanked him and rose, their eyes inadvertently catching another glimpse of Hongmeng.
Hongmeng sat on the highest divine throne, his aura and Dao charm completely withdrawn. He was smiling, his eyes like a multitude of stars. He surpassed perfection, princely and flawless, with an indescribable, charming magnetism.
The God Lord is so handsome! The same thought arose unanimously in the minds of Dantai Xuan and the other six women, their hearts pounding furiously. If only we could serve the God Lord...
As they entertained this thought, their cheeks flushed warmly.
I'm dying of embarrassment. What am I thinking? I wonder if the God Lord requires attendance at night...
While they were imagining some blush-inducing scenarios, Hongmeng's voice once more brought their thoughts, which had strayed to the Nine heavens, back down to reality.
"Since you have come to God's kingdom, you should treat this place as your home from now on."
Hongmeng observed Dantai Xuan, Chu Yue, and the other five women. They are truly worthy of being heroines, each one devastatingly beautiful and uniquely attractive.
The seven were reincarnations of the Seven Unparalleled Heavenly Maidens, each an individual yet interconnected.
Moreover, the seven could seamlessly merge into one.
He wondered what changes would occur when they merged? He resolved to study this matter closely and explore it in the future.
"Thank you, My Lord!" The seven felt a solid reassurance in their hearts and excitedly offered their thanks again.
"You may leave now!" Hongmeng did not say much more, instructing Zhan Lianxue to take them to settle in.
"Dao Origin..." Hongmeng looked at the radiant, nine-colored sphere of light in his hands, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He opened his mouth and inhaled.
The Dao Origin was absorbed into him like noodles.
In an instant, nine-colored lights surged over Hongmeng's body. The Three Thousand Dao appeared in unison, revolving around him.
Hongmeng's consciousness delved into them, comprehending the Dao, absorbing its essence, and blending it into the Hongmeng Path.
His comprehension of the Hongmeng Path kept increasing.
The Ancient Bodhi Tree, the Tea Tree of Enlightenment, and other Chaos Spirit Roots swayed, filling the air with Dao charm, assisting Hongmeng in comprehending the Dao.
At this time in Hongmeng God's kingdom, there were dozens of Chaos Spirit Roots, many of which were top-tier, and there were even Dao Spirit Roots.
As God's kingdom transformed, the lineage of these Spiritual Roots also evolved with it.
Spiritual Roots like the Life Fruit and Pancake Trees were particularly notable. Since they existed in many worlds, their lineage advanced rapidly after fusion, and most became top-tier Chaos Spirit Roots.
If Hongmeng's Cultivation Level were to break through and God's kingdom underwent another transformation, their lineage would evolve further; advancing to Dao Spirit Roots would not be an issue.
While Hongmeng was immersed in Cultivation, Undead Knight Ning Caichen, who had joined the chat group with Chen Nan, had also established a simple altar with Yan Chi Xia, Nie Xiao Qian, and others.
Yan Chi Xia had witnessed the divine might of a life-saving strand of Sun Wukong's hair. Swayed by Ning Caichen's cajolery, he recited the Meditation Method and became a steadfast believer in Hongmeng.
His Cultivation Level had also increased significantly.
It was a pity. The Tree Monster had been slain by a life-saving hair clone of Sun Wukong with a single strike, and even the Black Mountain Old Demon had been annihilated.
He didn't even get the opportunity to test his abilities against a demon.
"Miss Nie, the time is about right. Let's begin the worship of the Lord of Hongmeng!" Ning Caichen said slowly, looking at the beautiful lady before him, clad in snow-white robes, ethereal and elegant.
"Yes!" Nie Xiao Qian nodded. She was unaware of what fate awaited her after the sacrifice, but she had no other options.
However, the Lord of Hongmeng indeed seemed to be an inconceivable Immortal God.
After she recited the Meditation Method, her spirit body had consolidated significantly.
She stepped forward with her slender, beautiful legs, slowly ascending the simple altar.
There weren't many Sacrifices on the altar. Besides Nie Xiao Qian, the Sacred Girl, only the Heart of Tree Monster and the corpse of the Black Mountain Old Demon held some value.
Of course, for the current Hongmeng, this kind of sacrifice by Ning Caichen would barely increase his strength; at most, it would add some depth to his foundation.
It was better than nothing, and small accumulations could lead to great amounts.
Even the smallest of worlds wouldn't be ignored by Hongmeng.
He didn't need to expend any effort anyway.
For this kind of matter, any Heroic Spirit under his command could handle it.
"O Great Lord of Hongmeng..." Ning Caichen, Yan Chi Xia, and others began to pray earnestly before the altar.
As their voices faded, the altar burst into endless radiance, transforming each Sacrifice. The offerings of common animals transformed into Divine Beasts; the Heart of Tree Monster evolved, exuding boundless vitality...
The most eye-catching among them was Nie Xiao Qian.
Her spectral body instantly solidified, and she transformed into a Taiyin Body. Her Cultivation Level rocketed, leaving Yan Chi Xia staring in amazement.
...
In God's kingdom, alerts sounded one after another.
"Ding, a strand of Faith Power detected. This time, it received a one hundred billion-fold increase. You have obtained one hundred billion strands of Faith Power."
"Ding, your devotee has sacrificed the Heart of Tree Monster to you. This time, it received a million trillion-fold increase. You have obtained a King-level Heart of Life."
"Ding, your devotee has blood-sacrificed the Black Mountain Old Demon to you. This time, it received a ten million trillion-fold increase. You have obtained the King-level Path of Thick Earth."
...
"Ding, your devotee has offered up the Maiden of Destiny Nie Xiao Qian to you. This time, it received a trillion trillion-fold increase. You have acquired the legendary hero 'Unresolved: Nie Xiao Qian'!"
Hongmeng was speechless.
Damn it, 'Unresolved'? Is this trying to turn him into an Undead Knight?
Without paying much attention, Hongmeng casually dispatched a hero to deal with it: Zhao Ling'er from the Immortal Sword's World.
After giving instructions, Hongmeng continued to rest his head in the lap of the Cruel Female Emperor, enjoying life.
As for Cultivation, with three avatars, did he even need to cultivate? Such was the plain and unadorned daily life of a Divine Spirit.
...
In the World of Qingnu, a thunderous clap erupted. Endless rosy clouds surged, and Zhao Ling'er descended upon a Golden Light Path.
"Is... is that a Divine Spirit?"
"How is this possible? How can there still be Divine Spirits in this world?"
"The Heavenly Court and the Underworld are gone; Divine Spirits disappeared long ago!"
The current State Preceptor, a Centipede Essence who had transformed into the Universal Charter, watched Zhao Ling'er's peerless descent. He felt an incomparable, vast divine might that shook his spirit and made him tremble with fear.
He prostrated on the ground, shivering.
It was too terrifying.
Too mighty.
He felt that with just a glance, she could annihilate him a million times over.
He was just a lowly Centipede Essence, after all.
"Are there really Divine Spirits in this world?" At the same time, Lieutenant Qianhu stood shocked, staring blankly into the sky.
"A Divine Spirit..."
"It's a Divine Spirit!"
"A Divine Spirit has descended! May the Divine Spirit bless us..."
Countless commoners trembled with excitement, falling to their knees to pray and worship.
In today's world, gods and Buddhas had vanished. Demons ran rampant, and people suffered terribly. It could be described as the darkest and most cruel era.
Though the people prayed to gods and Buddhas, they never received a response. Instead, demons thrived and wrought havoc upon the world.
Consider the Black Mountain Old Demon: a mere demon, yet he usurped the authority of the Underworld to become the Lord of the Dead City.
The Universal Charter had gone even further, becoming the State Preceptor. He manipulated the king, disrupted the court, and recklessly devoured lives without any restraint.
Zhao Ling'er stood in the air above the altar. With her Cultivation Level, in such a Small Thousand Worlds, a single thought could envelop the entire world.
She observed the past and future of this realm.
She witnessed the past and present lives of all beings.
This realm truly suffers greatly. Let the radiance of My Lord blanket the earth so all beings may bask in My Lord's divine light! Zhao Ling'er thought to herself.
