Chouhou is dead.
When his figure jumped off the cliff hundreds of meters high, it meant that life had already left him.
Bang!
Chouhou’s corpse fell into the dark canyon, and after taking its last breath, the body finally succumbed to its many wounds. Immediately afterward, a glow of the soul emerged. Chouhou’s phantasmal image rose from his corpse, his expression appearing very confused, as if he had completely lost his consciousness.
Even legendary professionists enter a chaotic state at the moment of death.
Chouhou did not know himself and lacked self-awareness; this state would gradually restore over time after death, and when the soul reached the underworld, many memories would revive. However, this is the Kingdom of Fear of the Demon God, which belongs to the realm of deities; therefore, no God of Death comes here, as divine kingdoms are private worlds for deities. In this place, death cannot be attracted to the River of Underworld, and no reaper will come to guide him. If no one else takes him out, Chouhou’s soul will wander within this divine kingdom until he is completely assimilated, transformed into a Slayer with the power of a legendary professionist.
However!
Soren would never give up on Chouhou.
At the very moment Chouhou died, a powerful divine power invaded this realm, followed by a rift opening in the void.
Golden light shimmered.
In the sky appeared a massive hand, constructed entirely of golden divine power, extending dozens of meters downwards, grasping for Chouhou’s soul and breaking through the planar barrier to leave the Kingdom of Fear.
At the same time.
Inside the Shadow Divine Kingdom, a great number of Prayer Weavers’ believers gathered in front of the temple, presided over by the promoted Holy Spirit Priest. Tens of thousands of Prayer Weavers congregated to pray before the temple. The divine brilliance formed by the power of faith was enveloped by a force, converging into golden columns of light that soared into the sky.
A rift appeared.
Then the huge golden hand appeared again, and a soul was lowered from the sky by the giant hand, landing precisely in the golden light column above the temple.
Soren still could not enter the divine kingdom.
However, as the Saint’s Cataclysm progressed to its later stage, his sensing of the divine kingdom grew ever stronger.
The colossal hand made of divine power placed Chouhou’s soul upon the temple, and then an overwhelming surge of faith power came from all directions. Soren did not intend to send Chouhou into the Rebirth Pool. He would personally reshape Chouhou’s body with divine power, as a reward for this devout and loyal believer.
“In my name!”
“I bestow upon you the authority of the divine! You are my messenger! Wield the power of the Wanderer!”
Soren’s majestic voice resounded throughout the divine kingdom, and the immense power of faith began to reconstruct Chouhou’s body. His soul was gradually twisted, and under the infusion of divinity, it underwent sublimation piece by piece.
Black shadows materialized.
Chouhou’s body transformed into the form of a Demon Hunter, black wings emerging from his back, dark red tattoos coalescing on his muscular chest. Soren’s divine power and divinity continuously surged into him, while a portion of the power from the Divine Profession of the Wanderer was also injected into Chouhou’s being.
He could not yet directly recreate a True God.
However, Soren left a seed of the True God within Chouhou, directly transforming the bestowed Divine Profession of the Wanderer into that of the Otherworldly Divine Servant.
The power of divinity awakened forgotten memories.
At the moment of physical reconstruction, Chouhou’s past memories were nearly fully restored, but he retained the memories of the moment before his death. Upon regaining his consciousness, he appeared a bit confused, unsure of where he was. But soon he realized that he had become different, not only possessing more powerful strength but also experiencing some physical changes.
He clumsily controlled his black wings to descend, but soon became exceptionally skilled.
Chouhou’s figure had transformed into a man standing about two meters tall, his face showing a hint of ruthlessness and arrogance, enveloped in an aura of evil.
This was a transformation of the soul, including the change in appearance formed by the properties of the soul. Soren’s divine power granted Chouhou greater strength, and his body was wrapped in a halo of Evil Energy. The identity of the Otherworldly Messenger granted him a touch of the powers of Shadows, Wanderers, and Slaying.
“Greetings, Your Excellency Messenger!”
The leading Holy Spirit Priest welcomed Chouhou’s arrival. Under her lead, tens of thousands of Prayer Weavers knelt on one knee, bowing to the Chouhou before them.
The messenger is second only to demigods.
There were no true demigods in Soren’s divine kingdom yet, so the messenger was the highest-ranking individual within it.
Moreover, the messenger had a particularly unique status in the divine kingdom. Besides possessing immense power, when they appeared, they represented the will of the deity. The Otherworldly Messenger was also responsible for negotiating with the God of Death and guiding the souls of believers from the underworld and other realms.
The messenger possesses very unique soul traits.
They are among the few Prayer Weavers who can freely leave the divine kingdom. Moreover, the Otherworldly Messenger inherently possesses the ability of Planar Teleportation, which allows access to almost all planar realms.
The newly resurrected Chouhou was still adapting.
However, he did not forget his responsibilities. Chouhou quickly approached two powerful Heroic Spirits, placing his hands on the heads of these two Heroic Spirits. Accompanied by the brilliance of divine power, Chouhou infused his divinity into these two most powerful Heroic Spirits.
“In the name of Chouhou!”
“I grant you both the power of the Otherworldly Divine Servant!”
The brilliance enveloping the temple transformed into two beams, entering the bodies of the two Heroic Spirits. Then their forms began to change, a phenomenon known as Promotion, which is a direct elevation of the soul within the divine kingdom.
Shadows of wings appeared behind the two Heroic Spirits.
They did not transform into the form of a Demon Hunter, but were directly enveloped by a mass of shadow energy. The dark, obscure shadows covered them, making them appear merely as vague outlines. The brilliance of divine power reshaped into blades, the power of faith sculpting armor. The two Heroic Spirits’ strength broke through legendary status, nearing High-Level Legend.
They are Otherworldly Divine Servants.
The subordinates promoted by Chouhou, if put in higher planar terms, could be understood as Shadow Angels.
Creations of the deity, Soren’s battle servants.
Otherworldly Divine Servants are quite similar to Holy Spirit Priests but cannot be transformed through conventional means; they must be personally shaped by Soren or another Otherworldly Messenger.
“War is upon us.”
“My lord commands me to lead the Heroic Spirit Legion to attack the Kingdom of Fear!”
Chouhou’s figure soared into the air, Soren’s promotion had directly elevated him to a being above demigod status. He looked down upon the assembly of Prayer Weavers and solemnly stated, “In three days, I will open the gates of the divine kingdom and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Fear.”
It is now the period of the Saint’s Cataclysm.
Soren did not have the ability to revive a legendary-level believer, and this would require bringing back Chouhou’s corpse. What he could do was to send Chouhou into the divine kingdom, transforming him into a messenger. To Soren, Chouhou, who had infiltrated the Kingdom of Fear, was undoubtedly the best candidate for the commander.
The Heroic Spirits within the divine kingdom will be led by him as the main force to attack the Kingdom of Fear.
………………
Chouhou’s death is a regret.
Yet, Chouhou’s death is also a completion, as a Prayer Weaver capable of commanding was finally established within Soren’s divine kingdom. A single Holy Spirit Priest is not sufficient to lead the entirety of the divine kingdom, but an Otherworldly Messenger can cultivate many Otherworldly Divine Servants.
Chouhou is dead.
But he has also come back to life.
He has been transformed into a messenger, executing Soren’s task of guiding the souls of believers, and in this upcoming divine war, he will also act as a main force.
………………
Bottomless Abyss.
Near the searing magma, Soren slightly panted as he reclaimed his strength.
Promoting Chouhou cost him a considerable price, totaling twelve divinity points and hundreds of divine power points. Chouhou is an excellent believer; his potential is worth cultivating for Soren, which is why Soren granted Chouhou a touch of the power of the Wanderer Divine Profession, hinting at future plans to cultivate him into a demigod.
Gurenba Arena is another key to attack the Kingdom of Fear.
First, it is the Bottomless Abyss, from which one can directly reach the Despair Wasteland through a portal. A divine kingdom usually possesses a vast number of Prayer Weaver cannon fodder.
And all these need to be consumed by the Demon Legion.
During this time, the Demon Avatar, Soren, has ceased promoting demons through battle and has instead been accumulating Coward Demons. Currently, there are nearly one hundred thousand Coward Demons in the Gurenba Arena, along with a large number of Abyss Worms, purchased from Evil Spirits, Night Witches, and Ghost Hags, which are hatching in blood pools.
After their corruption is fully completed, the number of Coward Demons will once again increase.
………………
Modo City.
The Golem Factory, which had been operating continuously for a long time, halted its operations today, and a large number of Witches were busy within, assembling the completed Golem Puppets.
Modo City has undergone several attacks from lower planes.
These assaults brought considerable losses to Modo City, but they also yielded many Soul Crystals after defeating Evil Spirits. The Soul Crystals were consumed for these Golem Puppets, with a portion of the mid to high-level Soul Crystals coming from the depths of Hell of Bartok. For this reason, Soren even sold an artifact as a commodity.
In the basement of the Golem Factory.
Countless clay golems were lined up at the forefront, all of which were combat golems manufactured but not yet activated.
Unlike those sent to construction sites, all these clay golems have been infused with the Combat Specialty of “Workmanship Success.” Behind thousands of clay golems are rows of stone golems, now reduced in number but still totaling two to three thousand. Next are the more powerful yet rarer Iron Golems; the majority of iron from the Bottomless Abyss has been consumed here, totaling over six hundred Iron Golems that were created not by apprentices, but secretly manufactured by a group of Witches. Nearly all Soul Crystals from the Hell of Bartok were consumed here.
Lastly, there are twenty-four Diamond Golems.
They have nearly consumed all rare minerals sourced from the Hell of Bartok, and these Diamond Golems were personally crafted by Gloria, the Fallen Witch, and Alice.
Boom!
The entire Modo City suddenly shook, and then a massive surge of energy emanated from the deepest part of the laboratory. The puppets stored in the basement of the Golem Factory suddenly shivered, and then one after another, they activated.
