Chapter 535: 535
Chapter 535 Brewing: Part 2
Lin Sheng slowly closed his eyes as he sat in the dead center of the Hall of Yin and Yang in the Holy Spirit Palace .
He was surrounded by a massive wheel, crimson, inlaid with white symbols and text . It was Ward of Protect from the Dark Wheel .
Right then, Lin Sheng was akin to a huge fetal sac, in the crucial period of simulated divine conception .
The essence of Divinity originated from the faith and prayers of countless souls . Those faiths and prayers were akin to the willpower of the living souls . Willpower came from the souls and was part of the souls . The living soul’s willpower was strong but filled with many desires and impurities . Without purification, he would not be able to conceive divinity .
The next step ensued after the purification stage .
As all willpowers converged into one, and after a long period of resonance, friction and compression, inside the core would generate a desire for which most living souls prayed .
This was the essence of divinity .
“So the essence of divinity is desire? A transcended desire?”
Sitting on the open plain beside the Divine Pillar and wrapped around by the powerful air- and light-distorting soul power, Lin Sheng meditated and observed .
The soul power had overflowed from his body, but using the spell that the Golden Red Humanoid taught, he drew the overflowed soul power together, stopping the leakage .
“Integrate and sort the desires, twist them into power . The type of believer will determine the kind of divinity . Now I know…”
Meditating the principle and meaning of the spell, Lin Sheng’s mind’s eye opened . He looked down at himself, and the willpower converged around him .
The reverberating, invisible energy outside the soul power was the willpower .
Under the effect of the spell, willpower was binding his soul power, modifying it into the form of divinity wished by all living beings .
“You’ve got very thick willpower, only slightly thinner than the master last time,” the Golden Red humanoid said .
“I can feel people, many of them, praying,” said Lin Sheng .
“You feel it? Awesome!” The Golden Red Humanoid was impressed . “Then listen, pick one will and use it as your first divinity . You must remember, the first one is always the most important . It will be the foundation of all your divinity in the future . The better the foundation, the more divinity you can infuse . And the more divinity you infuse, the easier it will be to ignite the divine flame when you become a demigod . That’s because it is easier to gather more power that you can use . ”
Lin Sheng was feeling the desires the willpower was sending him . There were three main types of desire: purifying the Blacktide, healing, and protecting the land . There were many more other desires, but the three were dominant .
“Are these the wishes and prayers the people saying to me?” Lin Sheng gazed at the three willpowers, and he had to select one as his foundation .

Nearly with no hesitation, he chose the third type of desire: protecting the land . The desire to protect could perfectly accommodate the other two types .
To protect, we need to heal and to purify the Blacktide, going into the war with a perfect condition . Lin Sheng started to convey and resonate with the thought in the willpower .
Soon, all the willpower outside his soul power began to gather . After he made his selection, the willpower, under the effect of the spell, started to nourish and modify Lin Sheng’s soul comprehensively .
Gradually, as his soul changed, his consciousness began to fade away . He needed sleep, and when he woke up again, everything would be over .
A few days later, in Henricqal .
The majestic pale-red force field of the Tower of Dusk was shrouding the entire holy city, covering everything under the dream-like sunset glow .
Ten million people were going about their lives—working, learning, and living—in an orderly manner in the city . Everyone had work and a mission to do; no one was an idler .
It did not matter where one came from—safety zone or outside the safety zone, everyone could use their talent and everyone was valuable .

This was the rule of the holy city: no one should be an idler . Your contribution and value to the holy city and society would determine the resources and social benefits you would enjoy .
Under the illumination of the Tower of Dusk, even the gray mist could not obscure the brilliance of the holy city .
The border zone .
The safety zone was the best place in Henricqal . After that, it was the public zone where ordinary people live .
Further out was the work zone where there were massive labs and farms . They constantly used the mysterious dark technology to produce a massive amount of high-purity food and water .
Outside the work zone was the defense zone, where the holy city’s most massive defense forces were based . The powerful clerics used to practice dark energy and holy power . But as time went by, the holy power in him started to overtake and suppress the dark energy . So they became the Sanctum’s most loyal forces, fighting to protect their living .
About 100,000 Transcendents had gathered here . Most of them were refugees while only a small number of them were selected and trained by the Sanctum . They were wearing white armor, their helmets modified into fully sealed gas masks . They were the example of dark technology-holy power combinations .
A cleric, clad in armor, stomped and crushed a white stone in the ruins with his armored leg . His armor weighed 250 kilograms, making a loud hissing noise as the pneumatic system did its bit . It sounded as if the sobbing of a little girl, so everyone called it the sobbing noise .
“The patrol route stays the same, Falcon is safe . ” The voice of a man came from inside the armor .

“This is Elephant . There is a situation here . I have stumbled upon three-tailed terrestrial crabs . Threat level low . All killed . Moving ahead now . ” The voice came through the comm .
It was a type of communication device with a powerful signal, produced by the research institute of Baine University in the holy city, using the combination of dark energy and holy power . The device would guarantee uninterrupted communication within a one-kilometer radius, outside of which the Blacktide could interfere and cut off the signal .
Due to the strong radiation emitted by this type of comm, only Transcendents, especially clerics with powerful self-healing ability, were allowed to use it .
Falcon cut off the signal, checking his surroundings and letting out a sigh before he kept moving .
He was in an area with more Blacktide activities, a place full of danger . But Falcon had patrolled the area many times, knowing the place like the back of his hand .
“It’s quiet today . ” He trundled forward, smashing with his hand a black spider the size of a bathroom sink dangling down from the wall . The creature was dead instantly . This mutant spider was highly poisonous, body hair as sharp as spikes . Once pricked, the poison would enter the skin, corroding the internal organs, turning the poor victim into a pack of human-shaped nutrient liquid . But killing such a spider was just a matter of lifting his hand for a fully armored cleric .
