Chapter 2786: God-given Orb
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“I remember you said before that the God-given Orb was inside the Creation Temple? What is its relationship with the Creation Temple?”

“The God-given Orb is the source of the entire Creation Temple. All the power of the Creation Temple comes from the orb. I once heard Great Sage Klo Issos mention that the God-given Orb is also an important item for constructing the entire Holy Realm.”

“Mm.”

Fang Heng nodded lightly while listening.

An important item for constructing the Holy Realm…

This thing was very likely the Holy Realm Orb!

Fang Heng glanced outside the temple and asked, “Aren’t there any other people guarding this place? Aren’t you worried about a demon invasion?”

“Only the guards are stationed around the square’s perimeter.”

Hain continued to explain, “Great Sage, you may not know, but the Creation Temple is more dangerous than the outside world. The holy power fluctuations inside are terrifying. Even high-tier demons entering this place would perish from the burning of the holy power. So it’s quite normal that the Holy Court hasn’t wasted its strength guarding here.”

Fang Heng squinted his eyes.

“I understand now, Hain. Stay outside. I’ll go in and take a look.”

“Yes!”

Hain stood in place, watching Fang Heng walk into the Creation Temple with the members of the God’s Punishment Knight Legion.

As the exclusive God’s Punishment Knight Legion under the Great Sage, Hain’s mindset was clear.

Everything was centered around the Great Sage!

…

Inside the Creation Temple.

The temple had a tower-like structure, with a staircase on the right side leading upward along the wall.

The scorching divine holy light beams poured down from above.

Fang Heng squinted slightly, unable to keep his eyes open due to the blinding light.

In a sacred study state, the feeling of being bathed in holy light should have been gentle.

But here, it was not the case.

Fang Heng looked around the great hall and then raised his head to gaze upward.

The ceiling had a semi-hollow structure, with the divine holy light pouring down from the upper level.

Many members of the Holy Court were sitting cross-legged on the ground, bathing in the divine holy light, their eyes closed in concentration, with sweat covering their foreheads.

It seemed they were cultivating.

Fang Heng closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.

This scorching divine power…

It was completely different from the orb power he had seen in the Abyss of Despair.

Fang Heng had previously learned that the entire Creation Temple tower was divided into five levels.

The God-given Orb was on the top floor, the fifth basement.

Let’s go up and take a look!

Fang Heng’s gaze shifted toward the staircase on the right leading to the upper levels. He began walking up the stairs slowly.

The higher he went, the greater the pressure of the divine power he felt on his body.

On the first three floors, Fang Heng could see scattered Holy Court cultivators sitting on the ground.

As he ascended, the number of cultivators decreased.

On the third floor, there were only three cultivators meditating.

One of the Holy Court cultivators suddenly opened his eyes, seeing someone heading toward the fourth floor. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Who was that?

Continuing up, the fourth floor was ahead!

They had already exhausted all their strength staying here.

How could someone still continue upwards?

Fang Heng gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort spreading throughout his body, step by step, as he ascended to the fourth floor of the Creation Temple.

The divine holy light beams no longer felt gentle on his body, but instead, they burned like scalding heat.

He could still hold on.

Fang Heng took a deep breath and scanned the fourth floor of the temple.

There were no cultivators to be seen on the fourth floor.

He headed toward the staircase that led to the fifth floor.

Just like the death realm orb he had encountered in the Abyss of Despair.

The closer he got to the orb, the more he could feel the immense power fluctuation emanating from it.

But unlike the death realm, Fang Heng could sense that a large portion of the Creation Temple’s orb’s power was restrained.

A shield!

There was most likely a protective shield around the Holy Realm Orb!

At this moment, the cells of Su Ziyue, which were mixed within Fang Heng’s body, were also being stimulated by the God-given Orb. A sharp twisting struggle occurred in his right arm.

“Chhh… chhh… chhh…”

Su Ziyue’s face gradually appeared on Fang Heng’s right arm. Perhaps due to the intense pain, her face looked somewhat contorted.

“Fang Heng! What are you doing? Where is this place?”

Fang Heng struggled to resist the power from the God-given Orb, exerting a great amount of effort. He clenched his teeth and didn’t respond.

“Don’t waste time here, go destroy the Starry Temple…”

“Shut up! Don’t disturb me!”

Fang Heng snapped, taking another step forward, and climbing another tier of stairs.

Hoo!

Under the influence of the divine holy light, Su Ziyue’s face became even more twisted with pain, as if she could no longer resist the burning power of the holy light. She retreated into Fang Heng’s arm.

Each step Fang Heng took cost him immense strength, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

He tilted his head back once more.

Unknowingly, Fang Heng had reached the highest fifth floor.

He had found it!

The God-given Orb!

It was the one!

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Fang Heng’s face.

Unlike the death realm orb he saw in the Abyss of Despair, the orb in the Holy Realm was a dark golden orb.

There was no altar set up like in the Abyss of Despair; it simply floated in mid-air in the center of the fifth floor of the temple.

Most importantly, there was a protective net surrounding the God-given Orb.

[Hint: The player’s current Great Sage bloodline has not been upgraded to high-tier (Level: Max), the player cannot receive information hints or mission details.]

[Hint: The player has not triggered the prerequisite mission, unable to perceive energy.]

Fang Heng quickly scanned the game hints that appeared on his retina.

Compared to the Abyss of Despair, perhaps because of the additional protective net around the orb, most of the orb’s power had been restricted. He stopped about fifty meters away from the God-given Orb.

Only fifty meters left!

As he moved forward, the pressure on his body increased dramatically with each step.

At this rate, he could only push forward for about another thirty meters at most–this would be the limit.

It was much better than in the Abyss of Despair, but the last thirty meters felt like an insurmountable chasm!

So what should he do next?

Fang Heng stared at the dark golden orb ahead, his brain working quickly.

Previously, he had tried countless methods to gain control over the Abyss of Despair orb, but they had all failed without exception.

At that time, he was still several hundred meters away from the orb.

But now, the distance was reduced to only thirty meters.

Still ineffective!

Mental strength, power of faith, psychic strength, vampire strength…

Fang Heng tried them all, but none of these methods had any effect on the orb.

“No good, the ripple is too strong…”

Unable to withstand it, Fang Heng slowly backed up until he was at the edge of the fifth floor of the Creation Temple. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and carefully recalled the images he had seen by the Nether River.

A clue!

There must be a clue!

Fang Heng firmly etched the images from the illusion in his memory, pulling them out frame by frame to carefully search for any hints.

Hm?

The protective net?

Fang Heng suddenly realized that when the founder in the illusion had been controlling the orb, the dark golden net surrounding the orb had undergone a subtle change in color.

And at the same time, a strange and unusual mark appeared on the orb.
