#473 - Chapter 462: The Road to Godhood
This wasn't my first time at the temple.
Jiang Han quickly arrived at the stone chamber, and as expected, the three Temple Elders were already waiting outside.
However, besides the three of them, a group of Sequences was also present.
"Ye Han is here."
"Looks like the level 100 Abyssal Trial couldn't stop him."
"He even slaughtered a Pseudo-God, isn't that enough to stop him?"
"Indeed, he even slaughtered a Pseudo-God, truly making this old man ashamed. It's fortunate for the human race to have such a rising star."
Upon seeing Jiang Han, everyone stepped forward to greet him.
Although Jiang Han was a newly promoted Sequence member, his feat of killing a Pseudo-God was unique. Everyone present was astute and naturally knew who was important.
Moreover, the Sequences themselves were quite harmonious internally. Competition was competition, but they weren't enemies.
Adding the two together, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Let's go in first, the Divine Tree is still waiting for you."
However, they didn't linger too much. After a brief greeting, they made way.
Jiang Han entered the stone chamber.
"Who are these Sequences outside?" As soon as he entered, Jiang Han went straight to the point.
【You killed a Pseudo-God, which will inevitably alert the Pseudo-Gods. Perhaps a full-scale war is not far away, so prepare in advance.】The Divine Tree's branches swayed slowly, giving its response.
"So, killing this Pseudo-God might not be a good thing?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow.
【Of course, it's a good thing. Whether you kill him or not, the Pseudo-Gods will come sooner or later. Bringing the timeline forward a bit isn't a big deal. Anuun is considered one of the stronger ones among the Pseudo-Gods.】
"So, you called me here this time just to say this?"
【Yes.】
"Tell me more."
Jiang Han asked curiously; the existence of the Sequences was indeed to deal with the Pseudo-Gods.
【Deification Project】
The Divine Tree responded: 【The Sequences, as the most promising existences in the human race, their strength shouldn't stop here.】
"This is related to the environment of the Lost Continent, right?" Jiang Han asked.
【Yes.】
"So, the Deification Project is to replicate the environment of the ancient era?"
【You can understand it that way. In a corner of the Lost Continent, there's still soil remaining from the ancient era. There, the growth rate of divine substance will increase significantly.】
"I understand."
Jiang Han nodded. This was about to open a new instance, but only the Sequences were qualified to participate.
"By the way."
Jiang Han asked, "My trip to the Apocalypse Continent can be considered completing the task. It's time to tell me the location of the third Sacred Judgment, right?"
【The reason I called you in alone is for this.】
The Divine Tree responded, 【The third Sacred Judgment item, if there are no accidents, is in the place you're going to, but the exact location is unclear.】
"Is there more information?" Jiang Han frowned.
【This item is quite special and is the only Sacred Judgment item that was once controlled by humans. It was also with this item that a group of Pseudo-Gods was successfully expelled back then.】
【But because of this, the Pseudo-Gods' power has obscured the heavenly secrets, and there's very little specific information.】
【However, going there might allow you to encounter residual souls that have survived from the great war. Perhaps they know where this item is.】
"Residual souls?"
Jiang Han fell into thought, "Could it be that there are existences as powerful as Lucifer in the human race?"
【No.】
The Divine Tree denied, 【The abilities of the Angel lineage are naturally endowed and cannot be replicated by other races.】
"I understand what you mean, so awakening those residual souls requires the power of the Samsara Seal?"
Jiang Han immediately reacted. This was similar to the path to obtaining the third class back then, requiring finding and awakening the residual soul of the person who opened the third class.
And the Samsara Seal played the most crucial role in it.
"It seems the usage of this Samsara Seal still needs to be unlocked…"
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. He hadn't paid much attention before, but after talking to the Divine Tree today, the usage of the Samsara Seal could be slightly expanded.
It's not only about the Sacred Judgment and the third class, but even other ancient secrets can be obtained through the residual souls.
【So, the clue to this last Sacred Judgment is actually on you, it just depends on whether you can grasp it.】 The Divine Tree added.
"I understand."
Jiang Han nodded, "Then what's the specific time? When will this place open?"
【It still needs some preparation. When the time comes, you will naturally receive a message.】
"Alright."
Jiang Han said, "Also, there's one more thing I'd like to know."
【What?】
"How much do you know about the level 100 Abyssal Trial?"
Jiang Han was puzzled, "When I entered the trial this time, I didn't encounter any strange creatures, and there wasn't even a fight."
【No fight?】 The Divine Tree's branches swayed even faster, clearly feeling surprised.
"Yes, but there was a seven-colored altar inside, which is… an anchor point."
Jiang Han continued, "But there were no strange creatures in the altar. Instead, there were pairs of eyes staring at me from the sky."
"Is this a powerful existence among the strange creatures spying?"
The Divine Tree rarely fell silent, seemingly thinking about something, its branches still swaying rapidly.
After a long while.
The Divine Tree gave a response: 【I regret to say that I have never heard of what you said. As for those eyes, perhaps as you speculated, they are the supreme existences among the strange creatures.】
"If that's the case, the existence of the strange creatures is much stronger than the Pseudo-Gods."
Jiang Han let out a long breath, "I can feel that the sense of oppression is not even on the same level as the Pseudo-Gods."
【Indeed, in a very distant era, there were indeed strange creatures that could destroy everything. At that time, several worlds were destroyed because of it.】
【Even I was weakened in that battle, otherwise, dealing with mere Pseudo-Gods wouldn't be a problem.】
"What exactly happened in that battle?" Jiang Han asked curiously.
But the Divine Tree didn't answer this question, only a ball of light enveloped Jiang Han and sent him out of the stone chamber.
Leaving only a line of virtual text floating in front of Jiang Han:
【This is not what you need to focus on right now. Prepare yourself, even with your current strength, the path to becoming a God is full of danger.】
【You will naturally know what you should know in the future.】
"Mysterious, it seems even the Divine Tree is afraid of the owners of these eyes."
"The strange… are indeed the most terrifying existence."
Jiang Han muttered to himself.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He had too many worries already.
Not to mention the Pseudo-Gods who may descend soon, and the existence behind Liu Ruyan, Jiang Han didn't think the degree of danger was lower than the owners of those eyes.
What's coming can't be avoided.
Improving his strength as soon as possible is the right thing to do.
