The Era of Gods-Chapter 662 Changes to the True Body

"So, I must go now to help Gu Cheng solve his trouble?"

Having just arrived at Gamma Academy through the Spatial Waymarker, the Incarnation of God, Lin Xiao, received a message from another incarnation. After a moment of thought, he decided to make the trip.

Receive payment, solve problems for others.

Moreover, since he was dealing with an acquaintance—speaking of which, he seemed to have few acquaintances—those few people he met during his high school years, and he didn’t even finish his first year of college before he was Enthroned. Now, the people his age were still striving hard in school.

A mere God of Purification wasn’t too difficult to handle. Lin Xiao first expanded his Magic Net, covering this plane gradually with it. His will would spread slowly as the Magic Net unfurled. The moment the Magic Net covered the entire plane was when his will would envelop the whole plane as well.

After inspecting the study situation of the members from Gamma Duchy’s war group, Lin Xiao left the duchy and headed to Bickgrove Kingdom. He was quite interested in the upcoming meeting.

At this moment, it could be said that he was returning home in glory. Lin Xiao looked forward to the upcoming meeting, curious about what expressions Gu Cheng and the others would have once they learned of his true identity and strength.

In Alington City, when Gu Cheng learned of Lin Xiao’s current status from Dai Lingtong, he was unspeakably shocked.

A powerful elite with the military rank of junior general, commanding over a thousand True Gods and tens of thousands of God realm’s Sons like himself—regular battle group leaders. Although not yet appointed, it was a certainty.

This status, this position, this strength... even the heads of the college he attended might not compare.

Key was his youth and the great future ahead of him. Following his current rate of growth, becoming one of the high-level officials of the Fifth War Zone was a done deal. He would definitely be one of the top figures even in the entire Main World, an eminent figure he would have to look up to, barring any accidents.

Of course, after the shock, he was more puzzled about how Lin Xiao obtained such a high military rank and position.

Theoretically, while there are no stringent requirements for military rank, which could be earned through significant achievements—sometimes a young man’s chance to achieve great things and obtain the rank of junior general wasn’t too outrageous, as history had seen such cases. However, a position of authority like that of a battle group leader, commanding nearly a thousand True Gods, surely required strong capabilities to command respect.

At minimum, a Medium Divine Power level was necessary to suppress the members of the battle group.

Gu Cheng couldn’t believe that Lin Xiao had already advanced to Medium Divine Power. They were peers, and it was outrageous enough that Lin Xiao had become a god so early. If he could also advance to Medium Divine Power in such a short period… Gu Cheng didn’t buy it.

However, when one day as Gu Cheng was studying the war map with his companions in the barracks, he suddenly looked up and saw a light gate appear out of nowhere in the corner of the camp. A figure silently stepped out, drawing their gaze. Recognizing that somewhat familiar face, along with the unmasked divine power aura, the command baton dropped with a ’clack’. His companions, looking involuntarily, only saw Gu Cheng’s mouth hanging open, his eyes bulging, and after various emotions brewed back and forth in his heart, he couldn’t help but utter an exclamation:

"Damn it, can this get any more ridiculous!"

Wizard World, Sea King World, Tianbo Sea.

Since his first True Body condensation and advancement to Rank 6 Wizard, Lin Xiao had voluntarily given up his power and became reclusive, which had been for about a hundred years now.

Over that century, he had stayed in the Tianbo Sea Area without taking a single step away. Over time, the tense atmosphere of the Sea King Empire finally calmed down, and His Majesty the Sea Emperor officially granted the several dozens of islands within the Tianbo Sea Area as fiefs to him.

In a hundred years, the Empire hadn’t changed much. For a world that had begun to conquer the Outland, a hundred years was about the time it took to conquer a plane, and possibly not enough time if the enemy was too powerful.

Like with the previous conquest of the Crowman plane, it was his sudden advancement that nearly took out the Crowman god. Otherwise, if things had proceeded normally, even if the Empire sent reinforcements later, it would still have taken decades to determine the winner. If the Crowmen had more cards up their sleeve, it might have dragged on even longer.

Now, the Crowmen had submitted to the Empire, becoming a tool for the Sea Emperor to irritate him. Being smart, the Crowmen had continually carried out small actions against him over the century.

Although fruitless, after he secluded himself, the Sea Emperor reciprocated by suppressing all actions aimed at him.

But, thanks to their loyalty and obedience, the Crowman race quickly integrated into the empire and had, not long ago, officially formed an elite army, becoming the fifth army group under the Sea Emperor’s command.

At this time, the majority of the Crowman race had forgotten their original resentment. Compared to living in the dark and sunless Gray Crow World, the Sea King World or any other world conquered by the empire was better. They could go to any world within the empire to live as they pleased; in fact, the new generation of Crowmen had long forgotten their heritage and initial hatred, integrating well within the empire.

Of course, this had little to do with Lin Xiao. The lingering hatred between the Sea Emperor and the Crowmen held no meaning for him, as he wouldn’t stay in this world indefinitely. He was only waiting to refine all the strength of his True Body and condense a second True Body embryo. Once his strength reached the level of a Rank 7 wizard, he would leave this world and wander through the Void.

According to the strength hierarchy, Rank 7 was already equivalent to the True God First Level in the Main World, encompassing both Weak Divine Power and Weak Divine Power levels.

An advancement to Rank 8 would equate to the Main World’s Medium Divine Power and Powerful Divine Power levels.

Above Rank 8 were those comparable to the great divine power of the progenitors.

Once he advanced to Rank 7, comparable to a True God, he would be a formidable force in any world, whether it was the Main World, Chaotic Void Sea, or the Wizard World. The world could no longer bind them, as they would possess the ability to leave the world and travel through the Void.

Over the years, Lin Xiao had never been idle. He had been continually extracting the strength of his True Body that had been suppressed within his True Spirit ever since he entered the Wizard World.

Divinity, Godhood, Divine Power, and the Ancient God Body of Titan.

Especially the Innate Titan Ancient God Body, which was one of the most powerful True Bodies in terms of ranking. He didn’t need to make any modifications or adjustments, but simply fused it with his current True Body. The two became one, with the Titan Ancient God Divine Body taking dominance.

The fusion encountered no barriers as they both originated from the same source. The only constraint on the speed of fusion was the tiny gap through which he communicated with the suppressed True Body, allowing only a tiny amount of power to be extracted at a time for fusion. This was why, even after hundreds of years, he had not fully integrated the strength of his True Body.

But the end was near. His strength had already reached the peak of Rank 6, and with the majority of the Titan Ancient God Bloodline merging, he had reached a certain critical point and might break through to Rank 7 at any moment.

Yes, just advancing to Rank 7, not condensing a second True Body.

Advancing in rank is one thing, and condensing a second True Body is another; however, either outcome was possible.

It is worth mentioning that after Lin Xiao extracted the Divinity, Divine Power, and Godhood suppressed within his True Spirit, these powers had been transformed according to the unique rules of the Wizard World and were now under his control. This meant that if he fully integrated the original power, he would no longer have Godhood as such, but he would still command the rules that corresponded to the original Godhood.

It sounds complicated, and indeed, it is very, because the Wizard World does not support the existence of the True God System.

However, this did not mean he could no longer become a True God. This was only temporary. As long as his Divine Realm still existed, all he needed to do was return to the Main World, where he could recrystallize Godhood and reattain Divine Enthronement. The powers gained from the Wizard World would not disappear.

The key was to return to the Main World. Without that, nothing else needed to be discussed.

Day after day continued, and every morning, Lin Xiao took his handmade fishing rod to the edge of the secluded island, fishing while he continued the century-long integration of power. Life was both leisurely and boring.

Early this morning, he took his handmade fishing rod and bucket, carried his portable stool, and left his residence. Along the way, he encountered island residents who greeted him, and he responded to each one.

The island was certainly not deserted; it had a small fishing village, which had grown into a seaside town over a hundred years, with a population of a few thousand living happily here.

Following a small path around the island specially repaired by the town’s mayor, he arrived at a corner of the island where there was a small deep-water bay suitable for fishing. When he arrived, several fishing enthusiasts had already taken their places. Seeing him, they greeted him one after another.

He responded in kind, found his usual fishing spot, set down his stool, and skillfully baited and cast his line. As usual, he sat there quietly, not moving an inch.

A thousand meters away, on a small hill by the sea, there was a lighthouse about fifty to sixty meters tall. Inside, two workers from the Sea Clan, as usual, kept watch in this direction. One of them took out a thick-shelled journal and, after making a mark in one of the columns, wrote down a line:

"Empire Calendar **** Year, May 3rd: Clear, morning normal, noon..... evening....."

Above this line, as well as on another page, every date was noted, each line identical.

After closing the thick journal, one of the Sea Clan workers propped his back to a chair, resting his two tentacles behind his head, and sighed wearily to his companion:

"So boring!"

"Why would someone with strength to rival the Sea Kings be content to live in seclusion in this small place for a hundred years?"

His companion shook his head:

"How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of such an exalted figure? Perhaps he’s grown weary, or has experienced something, or maybe he’s been defeated in a struggle."

"It’s a pity we can’t find any information about such exalted figures; it’s all top-secret."

"The captain might know something. He’s lived for over two hundred years and has been through countless wars. Perhaps we can ask him after this watch is over."

"I advise you not to ask."

"Why? It’s just mere curiosity."

"Curiosity? Heh, have you ever heard this saying?....."

"What saying?"

After waiting a long time without a response, the reclining Sea Clan member looked up in confusion. He saw the captain standing at the observation window, utterly shocked and motionless as he looked outside. The Sea Clan member quickly stood up to look and saw a massive blue light explode far off in the distance, creating an invisible force that pushed the water into a hundred-meter-high tsunami, rapidly spreading in all directions.
