Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 605 - 333: Ascend to Godhood_2

"Are we starting to deal with Arthur now?" asked the God of Shadow and Conspiracy.

"No rush, we can use him to control more Divine Spirits, and when the time comes, directly welcome the arrival of the master, everything else is insignificant," the God of Forest said.

Following that, the palace echoed with their proud smiles, and the laughter spread out from the grand hall, echoing around the shadow-covered summit.

At that very moment, under Arthur's orders, the people in his territory were fully armed and ready to go. They saw this as a great opportunity to incorporate the territory of the descendants of the God of Shadow and Conspiracy into their own, marking the beginning of the King's path.

After a period of rest and recuperation, Arthur's territory had undergone a complete transformation; a thriving economy and a martial spirit had quickly allowed him to train a formidable army, strong enough to destroy anything on the ground.

Arthur, clad in golden armor, riding a white steed, drew the Sword in the Stone and pointed it towards the sky. The sword immediately emitted a brilliant radiance as he shouted, "Despicable people dare to plot against me, soldiers we will use blood and death to show them our sacred dignity is inviolable, I will lead you to flatten their lands."

The soldiers behind him, fervently watching Arthur's figure felt their blood surge excitedly, itching to rush forward and engage in a mortal combat with the enemy.

The outcome of the war was decided from the moment Arthur set out; Arthur, wielding the Sword in the Stone, was too powerful, slicing through the enemy army alone, his soldiers displaying combat abilities far beyond their usual capabilities under his leadership.

The descendants of the Bernardo family, skilled in assassination and intelligence, were at a loss on how to face Arthur's ferocious army, especially since many of their high-ranking members were completely killed due to their failed assassination of Arthur.

As they continuously prayed to their ancestors, hoping the Divine Spirits would intervene and resolve the crisis, they realized their prayers were like stones sunk in the ocean, receiving no response whatsoever, which plunged them into despair.

Arthur had already prepared for a second battle with the Divine Spirits, but the God of Shadow and Conspiracy never showed, seemingly having completely abandoned the Bernardo family.

Thus, the battle concluded quickly, and when Arthur's lion flag was planted on the Bernardo family's territory, the land they had ruled for countless ages had a new owner in that moment.

Arthur stood on the top of the Bernardo family's castle, looking towards the distant shadowy mountain peaks; he knew the Temple of the God of Shadow and Conspiracy was there, and he awaited their reaction.

However, at this time, the Demon hadn't yet fully controlled the God of Shadow and Conspiracy; after all, they were Divine Spirits, with endless faith continuously streaming into their Soul, allowing them to retain a sliver of consciousness as both sides began battling using their Divine Bodies.

"A Divine Spirit with the power of faith is troublesome," laughed the God of Shadow and Conspiracy to the God of Forest.

"After all, their Souls have been tempered through countless ages, erasing them completely still requires some time," the God of Forest holding a goblet, took a sip of fine wine, and said with a smile.

"We still have to thank Arthur for attacking Bernardo's territory, destroying their source of faith, making it easier for me."

"The power he carries is still troublesome, and for some reason, that fellow seems to have directly confronted the annoying Holy Light," the God of Forest said, merging his memories with those of the God of Shadow and Conspiracy.

For the being residing on Heaven's Mountain who claims to be the master, they have an innate hatred; for ages, this being has been an enemy of the master, and their minions also loath each other, wishing nothing more than to utterly annihilate the other. This war has been unceasingly played out in every corner of the universe.

But it puzzled him how such a mighty being could possibly meet with someone as insignificant as Arthur and even offer him benefits.

"That guy full of Holy Light in his head, who can guess his thoughts, this isn't the first or second time something like this has happened."

The two conversed in the grand hall, the dense shadows enveloping the place completely. The deceptive powers of the demon were simultaneously activated to ensure that no information would be leaked from here.

Meanwhile, in the distant Land of Death, Lu Yu opened his eyes from meditative seclusion. He could sense the joy of the Will of the World, reminiscent of a farmer seeing his diligently tended crops finally beginning to flourish.

"It has begun!" Lu Yu murmured to himself, looking towards the distance where Arthur was currently located.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the spatial barriers, seeing the young man standing atop the castle. Compared to when they first met, this young man was stronger and more mature, the powerful Power of Humanity beginning to gather around him. It represented the hope of the masses and the official emergence of the Power of Humanity onto the world stage.

By his side, the Little White Snake did not seem to understand the meaning behind Lu Yu's words. It looked at Lu Yu blankly, making joyful noises. Hearing these sounds, countless creatures of death knelt down and trembled, as if they had heard something terrifying.

Lu Yu turned and gently stroked the head of the Little White Snake, causing it to show a delighted expression. Its luminous, large eyes gently narrowed, seemingly thoroughly enjoying Lu Yu's touch.

"It's also time to begin my plan," Lu Yu said, standing up. His eyes emitted the light of thunder, shining on the Little White Snake and revealing the Laws glowing within its body.

After such a long period of absorbation, the Little White Snake had finally condensed the rules, meaning that in this moment, it truly had a Divine Body, although it had not yet comprehended its Divine Position or begun to utilize faith.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. The Little White Snake had now fully matured, and it was time to make a move.

He and the Little White Snake slowly ascended, flying until the castle became a mere speck. He then ceased his flight and looked around. The entire Land of Death was visible to him, and despite the relentless efforts of the Little White Snake, the expanse of the Land of Death had not spread, though the Power of Death seemed denser.

With a thought, Lu Yu's Soul shone brilliantly, his consciousness communicating with the Will of the World. Suddenly, a powerful will appeared on Lu Yu, showing that the Will of the World was fully cooperating with his actions.

With a gentle press of his hand, the entire Land of Death began to emit a massive roar. Countless creatures of death scattered in a panic, sensing an immense will descending upon them. The fear originating from deep within their souls caused these fearless creatures of death to flee.

However, Lu Yu had no time to attend to these creatures. His mind was fully focused, and he gently raised his arm. The vast Land of Death was torn by a powerful force, beginning to detach and ascend toward the sky, leaving a huge pit on the earth below.

Glancing at the Little White Snake coiled around his arm, their minds connected, and the Little White Snake immediately understood Lu Yu's intent, issuing a tremendous roar.

The sound echoed through heaven and earth, clearly reaching the ears of every creature in this world, causing countless people to lift their heads in surprise and look toward the direction of the Land of Death.

"Someone is ascending to become a Divine Position!" one person exclaimed in surprise.

It has been many years since someone last ascended to divinity. "To think I am fortunate enough to witness such a scene today, I could die without regrets," another person remarked.

The Divine Spirits also cast their gaze in that direction, but the fearsome aura of death obstructed them, preventing a clear view of the events unfolding.

Only the God of Forest and the God of Shadows and Conspiracies furrowed their brows, saying, "That's that damned old bone's power. How is it possible for someone to use his power and even think about ascending to a Divine Position using it?"

This truly challenged their perspectives. The power of that old bone was notoriously difficult to handle, and yet, surprisingly, someone dared to covet it.
