Chapter 790: Becoming a God?(2)

Laphia waved her hand. “He’ll be interested, just tell him 1 know how to ascend to godhood.”

The news of the Undead Lord’s death quickly spread to every corner of the Mid Ocean, with countless people cheering the setback of the demons, while many pondered how exactly he was killed.

However, the source of the news, Ji Chen, only revealed that the Undead Lord was dead, but remained tight-lipped about the battle process.

Power like Authority was incredibly powerful, especially when it was kept a secret.

Just like the God of Decay and the Undead Lord, they never anticipated Ji Chen possessing the Thunder Authority, catching them off guard. This illustrated the power of hidden cards.

Let outsiders speculate.

After defeating the Undead Lord, Ji Chen quietly disappeared amidst the cheers and celebrations of the heroes upon returning to the Alliance Fleet after announcing the news.

He returned with the army to the Crown of the Ocean.

The battlefield in the Southern Continent no longer needed him much; it mainly consisted of deserts and wastelands, not where he could make the most impact. He only needed to return periodically for supplies of fresh water.

Once the Druids of the Elven Landing Forces cultivated the special plants that could convert seawater into freshwater, he didn’t even need to worry about such issues anymore and could focus his attention on other Demon Lords, such as the Decay Lord, who currently occupies the Modo Strait.

Even the avatar of the so-called God of Decay was defeated by him, so how powerful was this Decay Lord?

Ji Chen gained much from this journey.

Firstly, he ascended from Epic Tier to Above-Epic Tier, a terrifyingly rapid promotion speed that would astonish anyone who heard about it.

Even more terrifyingly, he acquired two new Authorities, both ranking in the top twenty, elevating his combat prowess to a frightening level. Ji Chen himself couldn’t fathom how powerful he could become when going all out now.

He no longer regarded Epic Tier opponents with much concern; the only ones qualified to battle him were those also Above-Epic Tier and wielding Authorities.

Kraken obtained a fragmented version of the Corrosion Authority, taking an important step towards the Above-Epic Tier. Several heroes of the Crown of the Ocean gained a wealth of experience in this battle, growing in levels not much slower than Ji Chen.

Like Alice, who relied on the power of her song, now reaching level 64, and the slightly slower Patheia reaching level 60.

The speed of this advancement could truly be described as “leaping by the day.”

The only regret was that no resources were gained during the process of slaying two Demon Lords; instead, there were significant losses in the defense battle against the Dreadlord.

When Ji Chen returned to the Crown of the Ocean, whether it was the residents repairing the city defenses or the soldiers on patrol, they all put down their work and cheered loudly for the return of their lord.

He was their great and revered lord!

With his own strength, he defeated Demon Lords and annihilated millions of Demon legions!

A fervent atmosphere permeated, with cheers echoing everywhere. Even the passing merchants couldn’t help but be swept up in this atmosphere.

And at this moment, the wheels of fate began to turn, the long-stalled wheel finally started rolling.

“Ding- Your tier has reached Above-Epic and you have acquired Authorities. The people’s support for the Crown of the Ocean has risen to 100 points, reaching the upper limit, initiating the process of condensing divine fire.” “Ding- Currently, the level of faith collected is 103,561 points, allowing more intelligent beings to call upon your name. By becoming their belief, you can propel the process of igniting the divine fire.”

“Ding- Currently, you possess three types of Authority: Ocean Power, Thunder Authority, and Storm Authority. You may choose one of them to lay the foundation for your deity type.”

“Please choose.”

Upon hearing the system prompts, Ji Chen clenched his fists in excitement.

Finally!

So, to achieve 100 points of public support, the prerequisite was to ascend to the Above-Epic Tier and possess Authority!

And what’s paved by the 100 points of public support was the celestial ladder to becoming a deity!

This was unexpected yet somehow anticipated.

It was easy to understand that the level of faith collected could drive the condensation of divine fire. This number should represent the beings who believed in him, the vast majority of whom were residents of the Crown of the Ocean.

This number should only include the most fanatical believers, as otherwise, even considering the humans, slaves, lizardfolk, and luminescent sea tribes of the Crown of the Ocean combined, they wouldn’t reach a million.

The next prompt was to choose the deity type.

The most convenient way for mortals to become deities was through acquiring Authority, which corresponded to the deity type based on that Authority.

For example, if Thunder Authority was chosen, then the deity type condensed would be the God of Thunder, while Storm Authority would lead to the God of Storms.

Should he choose the Thunder Authority?

Thunder Authority was ranked seventh among the mid-tier Authorities, with tremendous destructive power. Opting for the path to become the God of Thunder would indeed be a good choice.

With the force of ten thousand lightning in his hand, and thunder roaring.

Although Storm Authority ranks nineteenth, its characteristics were extremely compatible with Ji Chen’s profession. If he could become the God of Storms, his combat power within the ocean would escalate to a terrifying level.

With a wave of his hand, he could transform into a storm, sweeping away everything.

Ji Chen pondered, slowly considering his options.

He didn’t choose Thunder Authority or Storm Authority.

Instead, he chose Ocean Power.

Ocean Power was one of the Authority types Ji Chen obtained relatively early on, but because he only acquired a portion of it, he struggled greatly when battling the Undead Demon King.

But this couldn’t conceal its potential.

Ocean Power could encompass everything and hold infinite possibilities.

It was also the power he was most proficient in, the one he wielded most skillfully.

The ocean contained storms and thunder, as well as more power and a broader mind, with unfathomable depths.

He believed that Ocean Power was the best path for him to become a deity.

With this thought, Ji Chen silently prayed in his heart.

“Ding- You have chosen Ocean Power as your deity type.”

“You have embarked on the path to divinity as part of the Ocean God lineage.”

A mysterious and inexplicable force, originating from an unknown place beyond the sky, entered his body.

Changes began to occur.

From all over the Crown of the Ocean, specks of faith power passed through buildings, forests, and rock layers, converging into his body.

Ji Chen’s body began to change.

Skin, organs, flesh, cells…

Evolution towards greater strength, precision, and higher levels.

When the evolution ends, the mortal body will transform into a divine one.

He would reach above the high heavens.

Suddenly, a gaze was drawn to a faint but determined flicker of light from the mortal world.

Was that… one of the seeds ‘He’ had unintentionally scattered earlier?

With just a slight focus, ‘His’ sight pierced through endless voids and atmospheres, spanning countless distances to see that shimmering seed.

At that moment.

‘He’ was slightly enlightened.

So, it was this special seed. It was unexpected that it had grown so quickly in such a short time. Indeed, it exceeded expectations.

The power of the three Authority types.

Above the epic.

The beginning of deity condensation.

Not bad.

Any achievement that would astound the world in the eyes of outsiders could only garner a “not bad” in the presence of this being.

‘He’ “shook” his head.

But it’s not enough. “They” are too many. Relying solely on “Him” cannot ensure the safety of this plane through crises. “He” needs stronger assistance.

Since this special seed has caught His attention, He will offer more help to let it grow faster.

The towering power surpassing all silently descended.

Just as Ji Chen finished selecting his deity type, he suddenly raised his head.

His eyes flickered with surprise.

He seemed to sense the presence of other strands of ocean power.

If he could gather the scattered ocean powers back, then the deity based on it would only become stronger. When the ocean power is complete, its power will be no less than that of Thunder Authority.

Lost momentarily after defeating the Undead Lord and unsure of what to do next, Ji Chen found his next goal.

With determined eyes, he looked at one of the nearest strands of ocean power.

That was… the Sea of Death..
