Chapter 369: Return
Forbidden areas were all ove rhte world, and existed since a long time ago.
They were a thorn to this world, and were natural disasters that were very difficult to get rid of.
After all, curses were different to living creatures, and many weapons were not useful against them.
In this world's history, there had been a large-scale operation before.
During that operation, many different nations had acted together to blast a forbidden area with powerful weapons.
This lasted for many days, and flattednd every inch of the land there.
However, people were shocked to find that nothing had changed.
Following this, people had given up on dealing with forbidden areas.
The weapons that seemed so destructive to humans were useless against curse energy.
As such, Chen Heng was the only one who could deal with Cursed Lands.
Thus, after the Cursed Lands had been suppressed, Chen Heng turned his attention to the forbidden areas.
In the following few years, he continuously acted, dealing with those places.
The entire world clearly experienced the Holy Son's tremendous power, and even the forbidden areas could not withstand it.
The monstrous forbidden areas were purified, and the curses within them disappeared.
This not only got rid of a danger for the people, but also removed a tumour for the world.
In just 10 years, all forbidden areas had disappeared from the world.
After this, Chen Heng no longer acted and returned to a peaceful life.
As everyone watched on, he directly vanished from a certain region.
Seeing gthis, different people had different reactions.
Some people said that the Holy Son had not left, and had remained in the world with a different face.
Others said that the Holy Son had left the world, returning to heaven and waiting for the next time to come down.
Perhaps when the next crisis appeared, the Holy Son would once again descend and save the world.
Of course, the situation as not actually that complicated.
Chen Heng did not leave, and remained in the world.
Now that the Cursed Lands had disapepareda nd he had deal twith the forbidden areas, he had done most of the things he had wanted to do in this world, and he was indeed thinking about leaving.
However, it was not so soon.
He still had not finished with some things, and wanted to stay longer.
After dealing with those things, he would leave.
Of course, most of those things had to do with the Holy Son clone.
The Holy Son clone was a lcone that Chen Heng had created through the simulator, and was similar to his Kobold clone in the World of Gods.
Because it had taken in the Holy Mother's faith energy for a long time, it spent most of its time sleeping.
This was something that Chen Heng had recently discovered.
Faith energy would wear away at one's will, causing them to become like what the worshippers believed in.
The Holy Son clone had been affected, so its own sense of self was being worn away.
This was especially obvious over the past 20 years.
Apart from a minority of times, the Holy Son clone spent most of its time asleep, and only reacted instincitively to things.
This was undoubtedly the effects of faith energy.
"Powerful faith will wear away at one's will…" Within the silent room, Chen Heng thought to himself, "This is undeniable… so how do the gods in the World of Gods deal with it? And why is my main body fine?"
Chen Heng could not help but feel confused.
Back in the Mutated Creature World, Chen Heng had also taken in large amounts of faith energy.
However, nothing had happened to him, so why was this happening to the Holy Son clone?
In the end, he came up with a few hypotheses.
The most likely one was that this was the side-effects of the Holy Son clone replacing the Holy Mother—after all, most of the faith energy was directed to the Holy Mother.
On the other hand, all of the faith energy in the Mutated Creature World was directed at Chen Heng himself.
This was a big difference.
Apart from this, the difference in faith could also be a factor.
Compared to the faith in the Mutated Creature World, the faith in this world was much greater and zealous.
Of course, it could also be a difference between Chen Heng's main body and his clone.
His main body had most of his strength, while his clone was just a trace of his soul.
All of these hypotheses seemed quite likely.
As such, Chen Heng became quite interested.
Of course, the main eraosn why he stayed in this world was to prepare some measures for the Holy Son clone.
Under the corrosion of the faith energy, the Holy Son clone's sense of self was too weak.
After Chen Heng left this world, it was possible that it would be affected even more, so it would be good to prepare measures for it now.
That was what he had been doing over the past few years.
"The situation in the little world is going quite well…" Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself, "If, one day, this world is about to be destroyed, the Holy Son clone can take some followers to that world."
In the following period of time, time continued to pass calmly.
Soon, another 10 years had passed.
The world had spent these 10 years in peace.
Even though Cursed Lands would occasionally appear, the scale was completely different to before.
Despite this, the Holy Son faith had taken deep root in this world and developed stably.
...........
When there was another crisis, the Holy Son clone would once again awaken and act, causing faith in it to increase.
Chen Heng was quite suer of this.
By now, it was more or less time to leave.
...
A heavy, hazy feeling appeared.
Only after a while did that feeling disappear, and Chen Heng silently opened his eyes.
He had left from that world and returned to his own world.
He was within his laboratory, and his surroundings were quite familiar to him.
"I'm back." Seeing this,Chen Heng smiled and stood up.
In front of him, lines of words appeared.
"The simulation has concluded…"
"You have obtained: 11,300 Points…"
The familiar words appeared before him.
"11,000 Points…" Looking at this words, Chen Heng nodded, "Not bad."
Overall, his gains this time could not compare to last time.
In the Mutated Creature World, he had saved the human civilization from the Nothingness energy. While he had done much in this world, it could not compare to last time.
After all, in the Curse World, the humans had only suffered from the invasion of Cursed Lands, and was not at the point of extinction.
Even though the Holy Son clone had done much, it still was not on the same level.
As such, it was to be expected that Chen Heng did not obtain the same amount of Points.
"Would you like to take in the source energy?"
"Would you like to save the coordinates of that world?"
Two more lines of words appeared.
Just like before, the simulator could still save the Curse World's coordinates and connect to it.
However, the price was the same, 10,000 Points.
Chen Heng did not hesitate and chose to save it.
A world's coordinates were incredibly precious.
Moreover, putting aside the world itself, just Chen Heng's assets in that world were quite valuable.
His Holy Son clone was still in the world, and could provide him with large amounts of faith energy.
Eve4n if it was just because of that, he would want to connect to that world.
Moreover, he could also use the Holy Son clone's power to support himself.
In the blink of an eye, most of the Points he had just obtained were deducted.
However, this did not matter much.
Adding on how much he originally had, he still had around 10,00 Points.
However, this was not the end.
"Would you like to take in the source energy?"
Looking at the words, Chen Heng deeply breathed in and said, "Yes."
In that moment, the space around him seemed to freeze.
A ray of light seemed to appear from a certain star and rushed into Chen Heng's body.
In that moment, changes began to happen.
Divine energy erupted out, and in a short period of time, every inch of his blood and flesh were transformed.
Chen Heng could also sense that some runes had appeared in his body.
"This is…" Standing there, sensing the changes in his body, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
He could clearly senset he changes in his body.
The runes in his body contained terrifying power, and had a terrifying might.
This was something that he had never experienced before.
"Is it the divine bloodline?" Chen Heng thought to himself.
As his source energy had returned, the powerful bloodline in his body had become purified and strengthened.
Those runes seemed to come from this change.
There were three runes in total, but only one was complete, while the other two were not quite complete yet.
Within these runes, there was a unique power.
"Let's try it out…" Chen Heng thought calmly.
Immediately, the completed rune was activated, and a strange energy appeared.
