Chapter 764: Becoming a Scapegoat Out of the Blue
Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh
Hiccup!
The flustered Chen Feng watched on as the miniature person within him hiccupped . Holy shit . This miniature person had actually devoured the godly power sent by the god . At first, he had also been waiting expectantly for the godly power to descend upon him . But then, the moment the godly power had entered his body, it had been devoured by the miniature person .
In fact, that miniature person did not have a separate consciousness of its own . Rather, this was an instinctual behavior . This was no different than how an experienced racer would react instinctively in a lot of situations .
But . . . what exactly was this miniature person? This pirated version of a nascent soul had this function? Was this miniature person trying to reach godhood or something? Chen Feng was speechless . When the second wave of godly power entered him, Chen Feng watched on with his full attention . He noted that although the godly power seemed to have been absorbed by the miniature person, the fact was that the miniature person had not moved at all . And that familiar hiccup…
Hum . . .
Behind the miniature person, a red radiance appeared .
Chen Feng was surprised . "Xiao Ying?"
Swish!
The red glow pulsed as Xiao Ying slowly crawled over, his belly bulging to the point that he was almost round .
"It is indeed you . "
Chen Feng was overjoyed to see this . As of late, as both he and Xiao Ying increased his strength, Xiao Ying had entered into a slumber . Unexpectedly, with the godly power as the trigger, Xiao Ying had actually awoken . Moreover, the Xiao Ying of the past, who could only have consumed consciousness and energy, was now able to consume godly power as well . The upgrade he had obtained during this slumber seemed rather overpowered .
Hum—
Yet more godly power arrived . Xiao Ying glowed brightly in excitement . Alas, due to overeating, he could only crawl slowly this time . As Chen Feng saw this, he hastily pulled Xiao Ying back .
"If you are already full, stop eating . " Chen Feng wiped his sweat . "This is different than the past . It's not an enemy attack . Hide yourself first . "
Xiao Ying understood what Chen Feng was saying . With a swish, both Xiao Ying and the miniature person vanished into Chen Feng's sea of consciousness .
The new wave of godly power entered with a strand of consciousness from the god and swept around . After confirming that there was nothing in here, the godly power dispersed and slowly blended into Chen Feng's body .
Hum—
Chen Feng's body started pulsing with faint godly power .
"Success?"
The god was surprised . He had expected it to fail again . If that had truly happened, he would have begun studying this fellow to figure out what was going on . Surprisingly, it had actually succeeded . This only proved that this fellow's talent was astonishingly bad . Even the huge monkey had required only one percent of what he had inserted into Chen Feng to progress .
He had initially believed that this Chen Feng would be the strongest after resonance, since he was the strongest of the herculean apes . Now, though, it seemed like he had been overthinking things . The god shook his head at the thought of Chen Feng's low talent . He no longer intended to provide Chen Feng with any assistance .
Generally speaking, after the contract of gods was established, the resonators would progress in strength independently based on their comprehension . In fact, a god taking the initiative to help his believers achieve resonance was unprecedented .
Yet even with his assistance, this Chen Feng had only achieved resonance with such difficulty . If he had to comprehend godly power by himself… The god shook his head in regret . He was certain that this fellow would be forever stuck at this level .
At present, Chen Feng's strength started rocketing after achieving resonance . His strength, previously that of level 100 awakened, increased rapidly, pushing him to the peak of resonance . From his aura, he was much stronger than even the huge monkey . However, the god merely shook his head . What a pity, for such a good seed to have such disastrous talent .
"You all…"
At this point, the god's first reaction was to turn around and leave . After all, believers would normally be left to develop by themselves . However, as he thought of the situation here in the areas surrounding Mountcarve City and the potential demonstrated by the herculean apes, he decided to take them along instead .
"Come with me . There is no longer anything of value for you guys here . "
Chen Feng and the rest obeyed . For them, being able to stay alive was already a great thing .
Shua!
The god led them away . After a long time, a group of people appeared where Chen Feng's group had been before .
"They… should've left, right?"
"Mhm . "
"Did he notice us?"
"I think so… He is, after all, a god . "
"Why did he spare our lives, then?"
"Perhaps it was because of our uniforms showing that we are from Mountcarve City . Or perhaps he simply disdains to do such a thing toward the likes of us . "
"I guess so . "
"Anyone know which god that was?"
"Nope . "
"Well, let's report it to the higher-ups, then . This is no longer something we can get involved in . "
"True… the disappearance of over a thousand tribes around the city might have something to do with this god as well . It has been way too long since any of the gods have dared to do something like this . This is too excessive . "
"I suppose yet another bloodbath is about to start . "
"War of the gods, huh?"
They conversed in low voices . These people were precisely the scouts from Mountcarve City . They had followed the trail along the way until they had finally heard something, at which point they had rushed over here . Unexpectedly, they had encountered something like this . They had witnessed an entire powerful tribe being recruited by a god .
That was not all . The tribes in the surrounding areas were traditionally their source of recruitment . Yet here was this god, recruiting the entirety of the tribe and even taking them away with him . This was too excessive . As they thought of the thousand-plus tribes that had vanished, they seemed to have finally found an answer .
…
In Mountcarve City, the news brought back by the scouts shocked the entire city . As this was reported, the several gods of Mountcarve City were furious .
"What are you saying? A god took away all those tribes?"
"He has broken the taboo . "
"Gods should never get involved in the fights between believers . This fellow has crossed the line . "
"He is seeking death!"
"Perhaps this is a new god that does not know about the rules?"
"Since he does not know the rules, let us teach him a lesson . Even if Lord Sin God does not allow fighting between gods, I don't mind becoming a god that is eternally without believers . "
"Get the people to start preparing . "
"Mhm…"
Mountcarve City had around one million believers . Due to their above-average quality, they were quite lacking on the quantity side .
This low-population issue was further compounded by the fact that this was an alliance of tribes, so various different species lived here, resulting in a low reproduction rate . That was why this city relied on outside tribes as a source of recruitment . Yet now, this source of recruitment had been destroyed . How could Mountcarve City not be angered by the destruction of their very foundation?
"Investigate that god . After that, we can teach him a lesson," a sinister voice ordered . This caused the inhabitants of Mountcarve City to be filled with excitement . Finally, a war between the gods would start . By observing this battle between gods, they, the resonators, might be able to gain some insight and improve . This was quite a rare opportunity .
…
At this time, the god that had brought Chen Feng's group away was still unaware that he had been made a scapegoat . He brought them to his palace . He had carved this palace out from a mountain with his own godly power; it was supernaturally finely crafted .
"This is my shrine," the god introduced proudly .
The huge monkey scratched his head . "A mountain is your shrine?" This so-called palace was not lavishly decorated at all . Everything within was made out of stone .
"This is a palace," the god said as his expression darkened . He took in a deep breath and said, "This place has exquisite scenery, abundant energy, and rich resources . The entire shrine is incomparably massive and spectacularly beautiful . "
"But…" The huge monkey was puzzled . "It is still a mountain . "
"…" The god glanced at the huge monkey, faint killing intent in his gaze .
