Chapter 488 - Human Flesh and Blood, Killing God
The mind of the Tong City magistrate had been affected by the situation in the city.
He was extremely exhausted and could not think of a reason for a moment.
Suddenly…
He saw a torrential rain of blood in the sky above the city.
His gaze suddenly became sharp.
“Evil thief, you’re going to destroy our dynasty!”
He had been in charge for more than ten years.
The Tong City magistrate deeply understood that rumors were fine when there was peace.
As long as he found the source, it would collapse on its own.
However, when he encountered the current situation of panic, the destructive power of rumors was even comparable to a true ferocious beast.
Especially now, the rumors about this blood rain had already spread among the people.
Even if he found the source of the rumors, it was useless.
After all, under this calamity, the emotions of the citizens were already on the verge of collapse.
They did not need to know if this sudden rumor was true.
They only needed an outlet for their emotions.
The Tong City magistrate knew that at this moment, the way the government dealt with it was especially important.
He could not let the rumors spread wantonly. When he restrained them, he had to carefully size them.
Otherwise, if he used a little more force, it would cause the citizens to counterattack.
The consequences were like throwing a spark into an explosive barrel filled with gunpowder.
In an instant, it would blow up those citizens wrapped in rumors and the officials into pieces.
Once this situation spread, the foundation of the Monet Dynasty would even waver.
This should be the true goal of the person who spread the rumors!
Coupled with the various words that spread from the court when the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs ordered the construction of the ancestral hall some time ago, although the Tong City magistrate knew that this blood rain was really possible caused by Gong Ziliang, just the various problems caused by the blood rain made the situation dangerous.
Be it Tong City or the Monet Dynasty, they could not withstand the destruction of another rumor.
Rubbing his haggard face, the magistrate forced himself to breathe. “Guards, summon the heads of the various families and head to Gong Ziliang’s ancestral hall. I have something to announce!”
Just as the Tong City magistrate quickly reacted…
The Monet Dynasty was far from some capital cities in the Imperial City, but the situation had already begun to develop in the direction of losing control.
Countless angry citizens rushed into the ancestral hall set up for Gong Ziliang.
After smashing the clay statue into pieces, not only did the anger of the citizens not calm down, but after losing the target to vent their anger, they lost their rationality.
“Everyone, these ancestral halls were set up by those officials. They’re not clean either.”
“Let’s tear down their door!”
“Right, those dog officials usually only bully us. We have to take revenge!”
Under the guidance of some people, those city residents quickly found a new target and gathered into a formation, rushing towards the local government office in a mighty manner.
“Hmm?”
In the stone chamber mystic realm.
Gong Ziliang had just exchanged the billion taels of gold for 10 million ingots.
He suddenly felt negative auras land on his soul through the dark void.
With a thought, Gong Ziliang probed those auras with his spiritual sense. As soon as he heard them, countless curses sounded.
“This is…”
Gong Ziliang frowned. His soul reflected the information that was sent from the various ancestral halls of the Monet Dynasty.
Immediately, scenes appeared in his mind.
In the scene, the commoners were stupid and ignorant. They were bewitched and smashed his divine statues.
Gong Ziliang was about to flare up.
However, immediately after, he looked at the miserable appearance of the commoners who were covered in injuries.
The anger that was brewing instantly disappeared without a trace.
This was not because he was a saint.
However, although this blood rain was said to be a calamity, it was really related to him.
If not for him killing the Ultimate God, those commoners would not have fallen to such a state.
Gong Ziliang would not shirk his responsibility.
“This matter started because of me. I should deal with it.”
As he muttered, Gong Ziliang’s gaze landed on the 10 million ingots that he had just exchanged for in the system.
Originally, he was still hesitating if these ingots were used to increase the level of a Divine Power or to temper his body.
Now, he had a decision.
Opening the Body Tempering interface, Gong Ziliang saw the information of the Divine Body:
< New > Dragon Phoenix Faith Divine Body
Level: 66
Attribute: Attack 200%, Defense 100%, Elemental Damage 100%…
Special Attribute 1: (Left Hand – Divine Dragon Power)
…
Special Attribute 2: (Right Hand – True Phoenix Power)
…
Originally, after gathering the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix and completing the eighth-stage Body Tempering, the Divine Body condensed by Gong Ziliang should have been the Ancient Dragon Phoenix Body that was ranked tenth on the Divine Body Board.
However, in the Primordial Dynasty, he had absorbed the power of faith of billions of people in the Primordial Dynasty and evolved the Ancient Dragon Phoenix Body into the Dragon Phoenix Faith Divine Body that was not recorded on the Divine Body Board…
Then, Gong Ziliang opened the content of the next stage of Body Tempering.
Ninth-stage Body Tempering (Preview)
Divine Body: Origin Body
Introduction: A Great Dao Body nurtured by the Supreme Heavenly Dao. When formed, there is a certain chance of obtaining the accompanying laws. A Small Success Origin Body can challenge Connate lifeforms. A Great Success Origin Body can kill gods with its body!
Materials required: 1 Divine Dao Divine Spark or 1 Immortal Dao Immortal Seal 10 million ingots.
Even if Gong Ziliang had already seen this content previously, at this moment, he saw the introduction of the Origin Body on the system interface again:
There was a chance of obtaining the accompanying laws when nurtured by the Supreme Heavenly Dao.
A Small Success Dao Body could challenge a Connate lifeform.
With a Great Success Dao Body, he could kill gods with his body.
Gong Ziliang, who understood the meaning of these words, was still deeply shocked. His mind felt like it had been ruthlessly attacked.
As long as he formed this Origin Body, his body would immediately become a deity.
The providence it brought was enough to offset the divine punishment of killing the Ultimate God.
In comparison, the 10 million ingots needed to refine the ninth-stage Body Tempering, as well as the Divine Dao Divine Spark or Immortal Dao Immortal Seal,
in Gong Ziliang’s opinion, was simply a reasonable price.
At this moment, he already had 10 million ingots.
He happened to have a Divine Spark that had fallen after the Ultimate God was killed.
He took out the Divine Spark nurtured in his soul.
The palm-sized Divine Spark had little divine force left.
It made the Divine Spark illusory, as if a gust of wind could disperse it.
The golden symbol in the center of the Divine Spark was extremely condensed and emitted an extremely profound aura.
“Using your Divine Spark to help me complete the ninth-stage Body Tempering and forge my Origin Body to eliminate the divine punishment, this is very reasonable.”
After Gong Ziliang finished speaking, he said to the system calmly, “System, increase the Body Tempering level.”
As he sent a voice transmission, he gently tapped on the Body Tempering interface.
There was a bang.
The Divine Spark in Gong Ziliang’s hand directly shattered.
Be it Gong Ziliang’s soul prying or using the Sword Law, he could not discover the secrets of the golden symbols on it.
At this moment, in his palm, it was slowly broken down into billions of golden particles by an invisible force.
Every particle emitted the aura of the Great Dao.
