Chapter 986: The Ascent to Divinity (Part 2)
Chapter 986: The Ascent to Divinity (Part 2)
After passively stepping onto the tenth level of the Divine Staircase and sensing the increasingly suspicious gazes of the gods, Lyon couldn't help but feel a bit tense.
"Hey, I already told you I don't know! Why are you still here? What's wrong with my answer?"
Meanwhile, the Snake Lord Director, hidden in Lyon's heart, also grew anxious. Through their connection, he hastily reminded Lyon with a sense of urgency.
"That's enough, that's enough. Our goal is only to obtain the ability to create the Celestial Divine Kingdom, not to become some Crimson Justice God. Completing the Scale of Justice up to the ninth level is enough. Don't answer any further!"
"..."
"Are you stupid? During the questioning in the Divine Staircase, didn't I say I didn't know? The thing is, I didn't even answer the question, but it... um..."
Could it be that... since blood is the most precious liquid in the world, if I can't give an example of a liquid more valuable than blood, then by saying I don't know, it's as if I answered correctly?
Just as Lyon was guessing the reason for his "passing," the Divine Staircase asked the twelfth question in a calm tone.
"Blood represents bonds and heritage, but there is something that is passed down more and for longer than blood, and what is passed down through it is also more valuable. What is it?"
Another question from the Crimson Heart?
Lyon fell silent for a moment, sensing the slightly pressured gazes of the gods, and decided to bluff directly.
"A worn-out joke! It's more long-lasting than blood!"
"Yes."
"???"
What the hell? Does this mean that if I change into overalls and practice singing, dancing, rap, and basketball, I can surpass blood in terms of longevity and value? Did you even listen to my answer?
"Lord Snake!"
Just as the Divine Staircase automatically yielded a level, sending Lyon to the thirteenth level, the white-masked man at the table couldn't hold back any longer. With an unfriendly expression, he reminded Lyon,
"Our agreement is only to help you become the God of Justice. Other authorities are not within the scope of our agreement."
"Hmph!"
In response to the White Snake's reminder, the Snake Lord Director, feeling anxious, couldn't help but snort. Then, according to his past performance, he glared back with determination.
"What? Are you afraid that I'll replace your Red King once I reach the Source God Platform?"
"Hehe."
Facing the Snake Lord Director's thinly veiled provocation, the White Snake couldn't help but chuckle lightly. Then, with a detached gaze, he raised his hand and gestured for the "Snake Lord Director" to continue.
The Four Pillar Gods, before becoming Pillar Gods, had all walked more than forty levels on their respective Divine Staircases. After becoming the Red King, if they were to walk the Divine Staircase again, they could at least reach the fiftieth level.
And you, with an average compatibility with the [Blood] authority, managed to slightly touch upon the Blood authority only by relying on the Cleanup Bureau's esoteric techniques and the Red King's heart blood. How could you, with such limited blood authority, climb a few steps on the Blood Staircase?
And you dare to challenge the Red King... Hehe, but you're just a clown who barely climbed a few levels by relying on esoteric techniques. You actually think you can replace the Red King?
Amidst the gazes of the Arch-Gods, filled with ridicule, contempt, and disgust, the "Snake Lord Director," with his back turned to them, slightly hunched his spine and twitched his cheeks as he climbed another level on the Divine Staircase.
"Blood is the currency of life, but there is something that can surpass blood, dissolving all hatred formed by faith, race, and nationality... What is it?"
"Me?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Blood is a messenger across time, spanning history..."
"QQ candy?"
"Yes."
What the hell?
I never expected that Wangzai QQ candy would surpass the bloodline in time-crossing, and even the blind and deaf treasure could pass through Lyon. It has been completely messed up by the excessive concessions of the Bloodline Staircase, and as the Bloodline Staircase continues to be released, the gods surrounding the long table also began to follow suit and get messed up.
When the "Serpent Director" stepped onto the tenth level of the Bloodline Staircase, the gods marveled at the power of the "Crimson Blood." When the "Serpent Director" reached the twentieth level, the gods mocked his luck.
By the time the "Serpent Director" reached the thirtieth level, the gods began to envy his luck and were amazed by his talents. When he stepped onto the fiftieth level...
"This is impossible!!!"
No one knew when the White Snake masked man, who had been sitting in a chair, stood up and stared at the "Serpent Director," who had already reached the very end of the Bloodline Staircase and effortlessly stepped onto it.
That was the limit of a single-attribute power on the forty-ninth level. Even if the Red King himself walked this path, he would only get this far! He, a human who barely touched the edges of esoteric arts, how could he possibly...
"What's so impossible about that?"
Although the Serpent Director was also messed up, he couldn't wait to jump off the Bloodline Staircase with his legs, but after hearing the White Snake masked man's almost roaring shout, the Serpent Director, who was responsible for responding to Lyon, still answered with a stiff face:
"Hmph, do you think just anyone can merge with the Blood God's blood? My understanding of blood power far surpasses your imagination!"
"..."
"If I had been born earlier, I would be the Crimson Ruler now!"
"..."
"Still don't understand? I have merged with the blood of over 120 million people! I am the blood itself!"
"..."
"No one understands blood better than me!"
"..."
After boasting the biggest bull of his life and temporarily stunning the dumbfounded gods, the Serpent Director secretly wiped his sweat and then, with a pounding heart, turned to Lyon and said:
'I understand now! It must be because of the Crimson Heart!
It has a certain self-awareness and is the core of the Crimson Ruler. Now that it has merged with your heart, its knowledge is equivalent to your own.'
The Crimson Heart?
Upon hearing the Serpent Director's words, Lyon pondered for a moment and then fully understood. It wasn't just a "two-in-one" with the Serpent Director, but a "three-in-one" with both the Serpent Director and the Crimson Heart.
Just as he could hear the questions from the Bloodline Staircase to the Serpent Director, the Crimson Heart, with its own self-awareness, could also hear the questions from the Bloodline Staircase to both of them.
As the one who had reached the pinnacle of blood power and further glimpsed the principles of the world, the Heart of the Blood God, which had merged with the Serpent Director's heart, naturally knew all the answers related to blood power. The Bloodline Staircase had likely directly "read" his heart, which was why it had given them a smooth passage all along.
No wonder Wangzai QQ candy could pass... But it didn't matter anymore. Although they had gone through a few... ten more levels than planned, the Serpent Director had only mastered two powers, and it ended here.
After finally understanding the reason for their smooth passage, Lyon and the Serpent Director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then... they were sent to a new level, shrouded in a gray mist.
'What is death?'
"..."
Not... again?!!!
