Chapter 1745: Chapter 1746: Promotion Chapter 1745: Chapter 1746: Promotion The game world was becoming overwhelmed by the sudden surge of Dark Mist Blood Demons emerging from the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, spreading like wildfire not only in the wilderness but even around the cities!

The levels of these Dark Mist Blood Demons ranged from second tier and third tier to Legendary Realm and even Demi-God Realm, making them the most numerous monsters in the game world!

“Damn it, why can’t these monsters ever be completely killed off? Kill one, and two more appear just like it!” A player cursed bitterly after forcefully slaying a Dark Mist Blood Demon with his sword.

Initially, players had welcomed the appearance of the Dark Mist Blood Demons, yet unexpectedly, such monsters only grew more and more prevalent, to the point of disrupting players’ normal gameplay, which inevitably caused a shift in their attitude towards them.

Now, there were even player teams that hunted nothing but Dark Mist Blood Demons, persisting tirelessly despite being unable to gain battle experience or loot due to the significant level differences, yet the numbers of Dark Mist Blood Demons only seemed to increase without decrease!

“Alright, after we wipe out the Dark Mist Blood Demons in the vicinity and gather the loot, let’s head back to the city to restock–I’m almost out of healing potions and bandages!”

“Hey, does this remind anyone else of the time we used to kill Zombies?” chuckled a player, saying, “When I first entered the game, I was terrified of Zombies, wouldn’t dare to fight them. But after leveling up, there was a time I hunted Zombies exclusively, slaying every one I saw, chasing them down, clearing them from the city and then out into the wilderness, hahaha!”

“Indeed, there was a pretty large number of Zombies back then, almost as many as the current Dark Mist Blood Demons, haha!”

…

Exchanging jokes, the group of players prepared to head back to the city for supplies and recovery.

Just then, as if one of the players had discovered something, his face changed abruptly, eyes widening in sheer terror, a look of horror spreading across his face, his lips trembling slightly as though he was about to shout something, yet fearing the noise might disturb some creature!

“Youngest, what’s wrong? Did you sense another monster, is it a BOSS?” someone asked, feeling puzzled after observing the youngest member’s reaction.

The youngest was the team player with the strongest sensing ability; even over a hundred meters away, he could detect whether there were monsters ahead and gauge their basic strength, distinguishing ordinary monsters from BOSSes quite clearly.

“Monster, mon, monsters, there are so many ahead, so many, so many!” the youngest said in a trembling whisper, his face painted with fear.

“So many monsters, how many are we talking?” another asked, curious.

But soon enough, everyone witnessed an astounding sight.

Over the distant woods, a black wave, over a dozen meters high, emerged, resembling the gaping maw of a giant beast swallowing everything in its path–trees, grass, insects, wild animals, and even relatively large stones devoured by the black wave with nothing left behind.

Everyone’s faces mirrored the youngest’s expression as, after a moment, a heart-wrenching roar, akin to a siren, rang out.

“A beast wave, it’s the Dark Mist Blood Demons, thousands, no, hundreds of thousands, millions of Dark Mist Blood Demons in a beast wave!”

Several players bolted towards the city as if their backsides were on fire, knowing they were racing against time; a win meant a momentary reprieve from death, a loss meant certain demise.

…

Within the temple, Song Jian pondered for an entire day and night and eventually decided to take a safer approach by using the Fusion Path. After all, it was a path with traces to follow, a path that predecessors had proven to be correct!

“Whether the Path of Devouring is correct is still unknown, and even if it works, what would be the power of the God King Level after promotion, is also unknown. Choosing it would be even more perilous than crossing a river by feeling for stones–practically guessing one’s way across!” Song Jian thought to himself with a silent chuckle.

“The path of fusion begins with the selection of a foundation. Generally speaking, the strongest power of Law one possesses is chosen as the foundation…” Song Jian muttered to himself while his gaze settled on the Chaos Law.

As the Lord of Chaos, there were no other powers of Law that could match the grade of Chaos Law, even the Time Law and Space Law were inferior!

It could be anticipated that once Song Jian successfully advanced, the Lord of Space–who based his foundation on Space Law–would definitely be less powerful than Song Jian!

The moment Song Jian decided to use Chaos Law as the foundation, the nascent form of the soul of Law, which had arisen from the fusion of the Five Elements Law, suddenly flew towards the Chaos Law and merged into it, disappearing without a trace.

Song Jian was stunned. He hadn’t expected the nascent form of the soul of Law to act beyond his control. While this puzzled him, he meticulously examined the Chaos Law, yet found nothing–as if the nascent form of the soul of Law had been devoured by the Chaos Law.

But if it had truly been devoured, the Law of Devouring would have been triggered, and Song Jian would have sensed it!

“What’s going on? Before, the nascent form of the soul of Law seemed to fear the Chaos Law, so why did it actively merge into it…” Song Jian wondered for a long time, but couldn’t figure it out, and could only helplessly shake his head and give up on further exploration.

“Come, with the Chaos Law as the core, let’s start the fusion of laws and begin the promotion to God King Level!” Song Jian said softly. In an instant, divine light burst forth within the temple, shining upward like a pillar of light.

Atop God Mountain, Song Jian’s Chaos Divine Temple emitted dazzling divine light, startling nearly all the Main God Level powerhouses. Most of their temples had been relocated to the God Mountain Range, save for Song Jian’s, as he couldn’t be bothered to move his temple.

“That’s… the direction of the Chaos Divine Temple. Could it be that the Lord of Chaos has perceived something new? Why such a strange occurrence?” Lord of Thunder looked up towards the location of the Chaos Divine Temple.

“Divine favor, divine favor indeed, it’s terrifying!” Lord of Light shook his head and sighed. If there was anyone among the Main Deities who had the worst relationship with Song Jian, it was the Lord of Light.

In the past, the Lord of Light had sent a divine envoy to attempt to kill Song Jian and take over the entire City of Hope, wishing to turn it into his city of divine favor. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

After Song Jian was promoted to True God Realm and entered the Divine World, he didn’t bring up the matter; however, the Lord of Light knew that Song Jian had always kept it in his heart, not speaking of it only because the time was not right. After all, at that time, the Lord of Light’s strength far surpassed Song Jian’s.

Feeling the brilliant divine light emanating from the Chaos Divine Temple, the Lord of Light regretted for the first time!

In the Spatial Divine Temple, the Lord of Space was striving to repair his damaged divine body while also seeking to understand the Thunder Law. In fact, the Lord of Space had obtained a Law Crystal from the Lord of Thunder, which should have made comprehension swift, but the damaged divine body was a drag. Now, even if he fully mastered the Thunder Law, the Lord of Space dared not attempt to conquer the Spear of Lightning in his current state.

At that moment, the Lord of Space sensed the divine light emanating from the Chaos Divine Temple and was instantly alarmed. The other Main God Level powerhouses might not know, but as one who already possessed God King Level strength, how could the Lord of Space not realize that at this moment, Song Jian was advancing to the God King Realm!

“God King Realm, he’s advancing to the God King Realm, how is this possible…” For a moment, the Lord of Space’s mind was in disarray, as countless powers of Law emerged from his body, looking like ferocious tendrils wildly whipping through the void, resembling a giant demon.
