From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 939 - 542: Divine Secrets

The Black Scale Demon War is over, but scattered Black Scale Demons still hide in the Tidal Sea.

The Black Scale Demons who managed to survive have lost their tribal traits; even if they regroup, they only form a small force.

Over the next two years, the Sea Demon Clan will need to continually clear out the Black Scale Demons hiding in the Tidal Sea.

The demigod Chris of the Black Scale Demon Clan died before Salion’s descent, and the divine attribute material yielded was taken back by Queen Orelana to be used as ascension material for Terres.

After removing the threat of the Black Scale Demons, both the Sea Demon Clan and the Black Iron Dwarves eliminated a threat, allowing them to invest more effort in the revival of their clans.

Since both species have joined the Sword Holder Alliance, their cooperation has continued to strengthen.

The Sea Demon Clan needs to rebuild the Bodi Temple and establish new territory.

In terms of constructing rock buildings, the Sea Demon Clan is naturally not as skilled as the Black Iron Dwarves.

Therefore, the two parties cooperate, with the Black Iron Dwarves dispatching craftsmen to help the Sea Demon Clan construct the temple.

The Bansel Clan also gained a lot from this battle.

Within the Sword Holder Alliance, the Bansel Clan is the weakest in strength, with the Bansel Clan warriors who participated in battle having relatively low equivalence on average.

However, after this battle, the source energy level of the Bansel Clan warriors skyrocketed. In terms of level increase, the Bansel Clan improved the most.

The Bansel Clan also obtained many spoils of war. Mia privately told Lu Heng that they had never seen so many high-level resources before.

...

Once the situation in the Tidal Sea stabilizes, Lu Heng will open a teleportation gate to send the Sword Holders of various civilizations back to their main worlds.

The Human superpower users who participated in the battle have also returned to Blue Star.

After experiencing the Demon God Descent battle, it seemed as if the world entered a period of tranquility.

However, Lu Heng knows very well that the Demon God Salion will not let things go so easily.

Since depriving Salion’s severed arm of divine power, Lu Heng discovered a truth about divine power.

Divine creatures can, through various means, seize the divine power of other divine creatures.

Demon Gods are among them.

Lu Heng can take the divine power from Salion’s severed arm, but conversely, if he is ever captured by Salion, he would surely be devoured.

In other words, among Demon Gods, there is the potential for mutual devouring.

Of course, there is an additional factor, which is whether divine power shares commonality.

Orelana did not absorb the divine power of Salion’s severed arm, not because she didn’t want to enhance her divine power, but because the Elf Clan has a complete inheritance. She needs divine power more suited to her, not just any divine power.

Lu Heng doesn’t have such concerns, and he prioritizes enhancing his divine power whenever he can.

Other issues will be addressed as they arise.

Due to the existence of divine power plundering, many problems will arise.

If every Demon God can enhance their divine power by devouring other divine creatures, wouldn’t the relationships among gods resemble a dark forest?

Once two Demon Gods meet, the stronger one will inevitably want to seize the other’s divine power.

The final result allows only one Demon God to survive.

This situation is brutal but aligns perfectly with the laws of divine power plundering.

If there are no other rules to limit it, this is the inevitable result.

Lu Heng has now condensed a divine power core, which is the prototype of divine status.

This means that once he encounters other powerful Demon Gods, he will become their divine power fodder.

The stronger the divine power possessed, the greater the danger.

Is the rule of survival among gods truly this cruel? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

These secrets weren’t accessible in the previous life; they must be explored gradually.

The best way to uncover these secrets is to obtain them from other high-level civilizations.

...

Lu Heng has spent the past two days on the terrace at home, sketching and painting to help think through issues.

Sometimes, he draws demons he has seen before, other times scenes from other civilizations.

When speculating about the survival rules of gods, he sketches the Winged Demon God Salion.

A Demon God missing an arm, powerful but limited, ultimately suppressed by the rules, resulting in the loss of an arm.

Just as Lu Heng’s mind wandered to who knows where, Su Muyu came over from the neighboring terrace and waved a hand in front of Lu Heng.

"What girl are you thinking about, being so absorbed?"

"Hmm... Is it time to eat?" Lu Heng snapped back, thinking it was mealtime.

"Not yet, wait a little longer." Su Muyu casually picked up the drafts on the table and started flipping through them.

The things drawn on these sheets of paper were mostly things she had seen before.

Whether it was powerful demons, terrifying Abyssal Giant Beasts, or the destructive asteroid belt.

But, as she flipped through a few pages, she came across a strange drawing, held it up, and asked, "I don’t think I’ve ever sat in a wheelchair?"

This drawing depicted a girl in a wheelchair. Though the facial details were sparse, it was recognizable at a glance that it was her.

The strange part was, in the drawing, she was sitting in a wheelchair.

But she had never sat in a wheelchair.

Normally, people also don’t sit in wheelchairs for no reason.

Lu Heng leaned back in his chair, looked her up and down, and casually replied, "This... you can think of it as a nightmare I had. This is you in the dream."

Actually, this drawing of a girl in a wheelchair depicted experiences from a previous life.

Those experiences truly felt like a nightmare.

Su Muyu pursed her lips, nodded, and smiled, saying, "Such a grown-up yet still concerned about nightmares."

She pulled the drawing titled "The Wheelchair Girl" from the stack, held it up, and said, "I’ll just take this one."
