Chapter 576 Chapter 576 – God Corpse
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.
‘No.’ He couldn’t help but frown as he recalled the situation in the previous world.
If it was an ordinary world, it was naturally impossible for him to fall with the Lord of Darkness’s ability. However, the previous world was different. Based on Chen Heng’s perspective, the water in that world was obviously very deep, and the power level was very high. From a world-level perspective, that world might not be as powerful as the world of Gods, but it was not much inferior.
The top-tier powerhouses among them, the so-called Heavenly Venerate, were also not much inferior to the Gods in the world of Gods. Although the Lord of Darkness was a God, he was no longer at his peak. He might die directly if he accidentally provoked a few top-tier existences in that world. Of course, the possibility of that was still relatively small. After all, the Lord of Darkness was not a fool.
Since Chen Heng had already reminded him, the possibility of him directly courting death and drawing out the top-tier existences in that world was not high. As for the specifics, it would depend on how he played it.
Chen Heng thought as he looked at the outside world. The scenery before them had already undergone many changes as they advanced. The surroundings gradually became barren, with sand and stones everywhere. It didn’t seem like there was much life.
This was a relatively rare sight in the desert. Although it was called a desert, it wasn’t that desolate. On the contrary, there were many races living in it. It was rare to see such a desolate area covered in sand and stones. It was a unique area.
Hedosiri looked around with vigilance as he reached the area. He led his men to slowly spread out in all directions, keeping an eye out for enemies that might appear in the surroundings.
However, this vigilance did not seem to be necessary at the moment. This area was too desolate, so there were no signs of life in the surroundings. Even a race like the Centaur, who only knew how to plunder and destroy, was not interested in coming to a place like this, let alone others.
Hedosiri looked around and sent people to check the surroundings out of vigilance. As for Ramu, he led his troops and began to set up the tent carefully.
“Has the location been confirmed?” Chen Heng dismounted from his horse and looked at the old man beside him as he walked to this place.
The old man stood beside him, looking very old, but he also carried a unique majesty, sacred and inviolable, like a superior in the sky. However, there was a hint of approachable temperament within this majesty. Though two completely different auras were mixed, it did not give people the slightest sense of contradiction but was particularly harmonious and unique.
He stood side by side with Chen Heng, wearing a simple gray robe, which seemed very old. The old man looked ordinary, like a regular old man. However, no one dared to think so, which could be seen in the occasional respectful looks from the people around them.
The old man was called Orson. He was an Elder and one of the heritage of the last generation of the Church of Nature. There was naturally a reason why the Church of Nature could survive from ancient times until now. If they only relied on their superficial strength, they would be completely wiped out by the Dusk Cult, not to mention competing with other churches.
There was naturally a reason why they were able to survive until now. Strength was the strongest emboldenment. Orson’s strength was more substantial than all the people in the Church of Nature. His strength had already reached the Sixth Ring level, and he was only one step away from the Seventh Ring epic level.
Even though an old priest at the peak of the Sixth Ring did not have much time left and was about to die of old age, his strength was enough to rival a legend by relying on the Church of Nature’s inherited Eye of Nature and could not be underestimated.
In the past, such existences were often hidden in secret places and would not make a move unless their respective churches were in danger of extinction. However, as the Church of Nature’s investment in Chen Heng continued to increase, some of their heritage was gradually taken out to support the expansion of the Hatim Kingdom now.
Of course, not only the Church of Nature but many other small churches also did the same. These churches took out many things to invest in supporting the Hatim Kingdom. This was also why Chen Heng wanted to rope in those small churches.
Many churches in this world might be very weak or even close to being destroyed. However, this didn’t change the fact that they were Churches of the Gods. They had some heritage to be able to survive until now and not be destroyed. And these things were slowly taken out n the process of joining and supporting the expansion of the Hatim Kingdom.
Thanks to these people, Chen Heng’s subordinates had gathered quite some powerhouses, and Orson was only one of these existences. Before this, Orson had always been in charge of this place. He used the Eye of Nature to observe the Divine Ruins here while preventing others from spying on them.
“How is the situation?” Looking at the scenery before him, Chen Heng said softly to Orson.
“Not bad.” Orson nodded and said softly, “This Divine ruin here is quite stable. There was no riot. I’ve used the Eye of Nature to look inside the ruins and have made some gains.”
“Oh?” Chen Heng looked at Orson with surprise.
Orson did not say much nonsense and went straight to the point, “There is likely a God’s corpse in this ruin…” “A God’s corpse…” Chen Heng suddenly stopped.
A God’s corpse was not an ordinary thing. Gods were absolutely the highest existences in the world of Gods. Just like legendary existences, their corpses were incredible treasures even if such existences fell.
It was an absolute treasure, even if it was an ordinary legendary existence’s drop of blood or a strand of hair, much more precious than any natural treasure, not to mention God’s corpse left behind by a God.
In some people’s eyes, a God’s corpse left behind by a God was simply a treasure. The value hidden within was innumerable. If the mages in the City of Mage knew that there was a God’s corpse left behind here, they would probably go crazy over it and come at all costs.
