The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 485 - Fundamental Change

Numerous Desolate Beasts had been gathered in an unknown mountain crater inside the Desolate Civilization. These beasts were weak, and their average evolution count was around ten. Even so, their sheer number reached at least 100,000. Desolate Beasts hunted and devoured each other regularly, and crowding them into a confined area pushed that brutal cycle into overdrive.

However, the slow progress left Han Wu dissatisfied. He stepped into the crater and used Black Dragon King Transformation. His powerful aura made every single Desolate Beast in the crater shudder.

Han Wu was one of the strongest Sage life forms there, so his aura intimidated all the Desolate Beasts, and they retreated from him. In that form, he started merging the Desolate Beasts. Each use of Merge drained a large amount of Divine Points, but he didn’t care since he had plenty to spare. He used the Skill again and again until the number of Desolate Beasts in the crater dropped drastically.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming and Jing Jing kept sending weaker Desolate Beasts into the crater for him to merge. After five straight days, they finally produced a powerful Desolate Beast that had evolved thirty-five times.

It resembled a Tyrannosaurus rex and boasted a powerful frame. Even though Han Wu had created it, it still swung its tail at him. The heavy blow flattened the entire crater, but it wasn’t enough to harm Han Wu.

Thanks to his Black Dragon King Transformation, he was a true Great Dragon, and the physically powerful T. rex beneath him was still only a beast. Han Wu wouldn’t let it go or face it alone.

Steely and Dark Locust joined the fray and fought alongside their God. After a full day of combat, the powerful Desolate Beast finally fell.

Jiang Ming, Jing Jing, and the Origin of Mutation then retrieved the valuable materials from its corpse and left the rest for Han Wu to feed his locusts.

Han Wu’s locusts devoured the remains until nothing was left. Some of them were Amalgamations with Random Evolution, and one was lucky enough to evolve into a War Angel, a powerful life form with incredible talent. This race showed strong affinity to the light, fire, and lightning attribute, and it ranked among the more prestigious angelic races.

Han Wu summoned the Origin of Mutation and instructed it to sever Random Evolution from the War Angel so it would stay in that form forever. To improve its power, Han Wu retrieved the wing that he had torn from Cherub in the past and asked the Origin of Mutation to graft it onto the War Angel.

Once it received the powerful wing, the War Angel’s power surged until it reached the King rank. Pleased with the result, Han Wu decided to nurture it further, giving it large quantities of Light, Fire, and Lightning Stones to improve its strength drastically as quickly as possible. Ten days later, the War Angel advanced to a Sage life form. After two more months, supported by powerful God equipment and treasures, it advanced again and became an Earthsunder life form.

Jiang Ming had overseen the entire process and started to doubt his own knowledge. Less than two months had passed from the Amalgamation’s birth to the rise of an Earthsunder life form. He had never seen anything evolve at such a pace. As a Major God that had lived for several hundred years, he had never obtained an Earthsunder life form under his command, yet Han Wu achieved that in two months.

The feat looked miraculous, but Han Wu’s performance counted as normal within his group. Jing Jing’s growth showed what a true miracle looked like. As the queen of skeletons, her mastery over bones was astounding. After each powerful Desolate Beast fell to Han Wu, she would take its skeleton and use the bone fragments at her disposal to turn it into her subject.

In just four months, she had formed twelve formidable skeletons. Three of them were Earthsunder life forms, and the Ignis Colossus was the strongest among them. The remaining nine hadn’t reached the Earthsunder rank, but they had advanced to the Sage rank. If they banded together, they could match an Earthsunder life form.

The most astonishing out of the three was the Origin of Mutation. Every time they defeated a powerful Desolate Beast, it would graft part of the corpse’s limbs onto itself.

Jiang Ming hadn’t understood the reason before, but that changed when he happened to see its combat form. It turned into a patchwork monster with numerous limbs sprouting from it.

Those limbs contained powerful Skills from the corpses. Once absorbed, they pushed its battle strength to the level of the strongest Earthsunder life forms. If it mastered every Skill it carried, it would reach the might of a Heavenrender life form.

Jiang Ming felt abhorrently weak when he compared his stagnant growth over the past hundred years or so with the rapid progress of the three. Even so, he was still a Major God, an entity that most couldn’t reach.

They spent the next four months repeating the process. Han Wu burned through all the Divine Essence in his and Jing Jing’s accounts before he managed to cause a fundamental change in his army.

He now commanded eight Earthsunder life forms: Steely, Dark Locust, black dragon Alpheus, silver dragon Erebard, gold dragon Smog, lightning Great Dragon Bakir, War Angel Amelia, and Flame Demon Karot. He also had two Sage life forms that could rival Earthsunder life forms as long as they wielded powerful weapons: the humans Akanzor and Bart. Akanzor wielded the 7-Star God Black King Sword, and Bart held the Black Arrow that could slay Great Dragons.

Jing Jing had gathered twelve powerful skeletons, while the Origin of Mutation had become a powerful abomination. With an army like this, Jiang Ming was confident that they would win. In fact, he even worried about the tyrant guarding the exit. He was hoping that it would survive long enough to give them a worthy fight.

Once Han Wu confirmed how strong his army was, he felt the same confidence. “Everyone, we depart for that tyrant!”

All three ships set sail toward the exit.
