Chapter 1734: Battle to Ascend to Godhood
Purification Chamber.
Seven black-clad figures came to a halt at the edge of the landing platform.
Wu "Old Dog" pulled down his hood and looked at the familiar figure standing in the center of the platform, speaking helplessly:
"Long time no see, Doctor Li."
In the center of the landing platform, a figure in a white lab coat stood with hands in pockets, his back turned to them as he gazed up at the starry sky, the wind whipping his coat tails wildly.
He was the master of this Purification Chamber, and simultaneously the director of Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital, as well as the attending physician who had accompanied Wu "Old Dog" for years—Li Yangguang.
"Yes, it's been a while." Doctor Li turned his head, a familiar gentle smile appearing on his face.
"You said you wanted to find me... what exactly do you want?"
Doctor Li didn't speak. He slowly walked toward Wu "Old Dog" from the windy platform, his lenses reflecting the light from the overhead lamps, making it impossible to see his gaze clearly.
He stopped in front of Wu "Old Dog" and took something from his pocket, placing it into Wu "Old Dog"'s palm.
It was a white chess piece.
"What is this?" Confusion filled Wu "Old Dog"'s eyes.
"Humanity needs the [Formless]."
Doctor Li's tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
Wu "Old Dog" was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I need you to temporarily set aside [Spirit Medium] and, as the Seventh King's Ruins, replicate another Forbidden Ruins."
"...No." Wu "Old Dog" shook his head. "My [Formless] can only perfectly replicate one Forbidden Ruins at a time. Bu Li is already dead—I'm the only one in this world who possesses [Spirit Medium].
If I abandon [Spirit Medium], then they can never be awakened again, and Great Xia will no longer have the 002nd Special Squad."
Hearing this, Doctor Li's lips curved slightly upward, as if he had anticipated this concern.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared..."
He looked back, and within the Purification Chamber, a figure in shackles was being escorted toward this location.
"Who said you were the last person in the world to possess [Spirit Medium]?"
...
Outer Space.
Blinding suns blazed one after another in the deep void, then quickly perished. A dozen divine silhouettes clashed and interweaved with those terrifying, eerie Cthulhu Faction gods. The aftershocks of their collisions easily shattered distant lunar monitoring satellites into powder.
"There are too many of them! We can't hold them back!"
The three-pointed double-edged blade and the Ruyi Jingu Bang respectively pressed against two Cthulhu Faction gods' bodies, only to be violently knocked away. A tree demon covered in tentacles coiled in the deep void, then suddenly launched itself, streaking past Sun Wukong and Yang Jian like lightning!
Behind it, four more Cthulhu Faction gods broke through the final defense line of the Gods of Great Xia, rushing consecutively toward the only surviving nation within that gray planet!
"They cannot be allowed to fall upon Great Xia!" Sun Wukong roared. The Divine Form instantly expanded, and the colossal demon ape's body gripped the stabilizing ocean pillar and charged furiously toward those Cthulhu Faction gods—but before he could catch up, a worm's head bit down on his back from behind!
Although Sun Wukong's form was already enormous under the Divine Form state, he was still half a size smaller compared to these Cthulhu Faction gods.
Yang Jian likewise transformed into the Divine Form, helping Sun Wukong shake off the worm's bite. When they looked back, five Cthulhu Faction gods were about to burst into Earth's upper atmosphere!
At the same time, a crimson figure streaked from the Moon, piercing through the battlefield of gods like an arrow, instantly drawing the attention of many Great Xia deities.
Seeing Lin Qiye intercepting five Cthulhu Faction gods alone, Yang Jian's expression changed.
"Monkey, go help him!"
"You think I don't want to?" Sun Wukong's Divine Form blocked a Cthulhu Faction god head-on, his voice low. "There are too many of these damn things. If we just abandon this battlefield and go block those five, not to mention whether we can stop them, the moment the number of fighters here becomes unbalanced, the other Jinxian will be torn to pieces in an instant!"
"Then what do we do? Just watch him go to his death?"
"He's Lin Qiye—he won't die that easily." Sun Wukong glanced at the direction where that crimson figure was streaking. "Don't forget... right now, he is the last 'miracle' in this world."
...
Five black rays and one crimson stream consecutively traced across Earth's edge, rushing toward the only surviving nation within that gray world!
Even though Lin Qiye had pushed his speed to its limit, compared to those five Cthulhu Faction gods, he could barely keep pace—but this also meant he couldn't possibly intercept the five Cthulhu Faction gods before they landed.
A cold voice suddenly appeared in his mind:
"The Moon seal has already been broken by me. Even if you seal me here, how much can that change?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Qiye frowned. His consciousness sank into the hospital within his mind, where [Chaos], sealed in the sixth ward, was gazing up at the emptiness above, speaking coldly.
[Chaos]'s treatment progress had reached 95%. It possessed the ability to share vision with Lin Qiye, so even from within the ward, it could clearly see the situation outside.
"In this hospital, I indeed cannot defeat you, but out there—even if you give everything—how many Cthulhu Faction gods can you possibly block?" [Chaos] spoke hollowly, its voice seeming to possess some kind of magic.
"Watching Great Xia be destroyed before your eyes, yet being powerless to turn the tide... That's all you Lin Qiye are capable of."
[Chaos] was sealed within the room and couldn't possibly harm Lin Qiye. All it could do was use words to disturb Lin Qiye's mind, but naturally, Lin Qiye wouldn't be swayed by its temptation.
"My capabilities are few, but they're enough to seal you." Lin Qiye spoke calmly.
"I never said that I alone could stop this disaster... Humanity doesn't consist of only me, Lin Qiye."
Whoosh—!!
Two streams of light erupted from within the atmosphere, slowly hovering in the high heavens above.
One figure wore bloodstained armor, a spear like a dragon. He raised his head and gazed at the rapidly approaching five divine silhouettes. Those sharp, fierce eyes erupted with unprecedented, soaring battle intent!
"The regrets of two thousand years ago... today is the time to make amends..." He spoke calmly.
Fourth King's Ruins, [Dominating Emperor], Huo Qubing!
On the other side, that person had flowing hair like a waterfall, with a thousand faces flickering beneath the robes—a humanoid monster merged from hundreds of figures. Beneath those serene, still eyes, a pair of ferocious fangs seemed to peek out.
"I've never collected a god's face before." She licked her lips. "If I can devour a Cthulhu Faction god before I die, that would be no regret."
Fifth King's Ruins, [Eternal Beauty], Gongyang Wan!
The next moment, two strands of law power surged forth from within their bodies!
These two laws did not come from any deity, nor from the world itself.
This was a law that had never existed in the world—much like the sword marks that Sword Saint Zhou Ping left upon the Great Dao. It was created by them, a divine law belonging solely to humanity!
Two thousand years of accumulation, two thousand years of precipitation—they had each comprehended their own laws within the nation's fate and among the mortal realm... But they had long been dead. With only a hero's spirit body, they simply couldn't bear the weight of law power to ascend to godhood.
However, through the final secret technique of [Soul Hiding Technique], they could leave this Island and briefly reconstitute their physical bodies with the aid of national fortune!
Even if, after ten minutes, their souls would scatter into nothingness,
During that time,
It was enough for them to—
Battle to Ascend to Godhood!
