Chapter 14 The God of Nothingness and Chaos
Chapter 14 The God of Nothingness and Chaos
Seeing that Bai Yan had finally raised his head again, Harkley smiled and then pointed to someone in the crowd.
Harkley remembered clearly that this person was one of the people they had just been discussing.
"Now, go and slap him twice."
As soon as he finished speaking, several observant people in the crowd immediately surrounded the man, grabbed his arm, and forced him in front of Bai Yan.
"Sir, please."
The man who was pinned down was terrified. He instinctively wanted to struggle, but he was afraid of provoking Harkley's anger, so he could only glare angrily at Bai Yan.
But it was only for a glance. The next second, he lowered his head again, not daring to look up at anyone.
He understood that all he could do now was endure it all.
Bai Yan looked at the man in front of him, who was still taller than him and had his head down. The man was one of the stronger survivors in the White Stone settlement. He usually had an arrogant demeanor, but now he stood there silently like a skinned quail.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!
It wasn't just two slaps; it quickly turned into fists, which landed heavily on the man.
Bai Yan straddled the man, his fists moving so fast they seemed to leave afterimages.
Each punch seemed to shatter the constraints that had bound him for years.
He felt his body getting lighter and lighter, and his fists getting faster and faster.
puff!
Finally, after a punch landed, the man spat out a mouthful of blood, which smeared into Bai Yan's eyes, bringing him to his senses.
He stared blankly at the bloodied and mangled figure beneath him, momentarily stunned, before bursting into maniacal laughter and leaving the scene.
The man was severely injured, and his madness terrified the other survivors, but this time no one dared to give him a disdainful look.
"What a farce, but it seems to be a good opportunity." Wang Yu looked at the scene thoughtfully.
Bai Yan didn't kill the man, and Harkley disdained killing; he simply waved for someone to drag him away.
Having suffered such severe injuries, unless Chen Quan is foolish enough to deliberately go against Harkley's wishes and try to treat him, the man will probably die on his own in no time.
The compatibility test for divine power continues.
Harkley thought there would be no more problems, but to his surprise, another qualified person appeared among the last few people tested, and this time the talent was even greater!
"Divine Power Compatibility: 20.1%! Blue Talent!"
The qualified candidate was a young man named Sun Tu. Upon hearing the result, he was overjoyed, but he still suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply to Harklai, saying, "Thank you for the opportunity, Divine Envoy!"
Harkley was also somewhat surprised. Although it was only at the very edge, it was still a genuine Tier 3 talent.
It should be noted that Harkley's own divine power compatibility is only 27.3%, which is only a third-tier talent.
At this level, if you can recruit the other party into the City of Wonders, Haklai can receive a lot of rewards.
When he checked the other party's divine power attributes, he was even more surprised to find that Sun Tu's compatible pantheon was actually the 'Blood Moon' pantheon.
This pantheon is the one worshipped by the Blood Moon believers.
This pantheon was recently added to the divine relic testing program. The reason the divine relic recorded this divine power was because it was extracted and sealed from the Blood Moon believers.
This was somewhat...unexpected to him.
It is well known that anything associated with cults is rarely a good thing.
After Sun Tu returned to Qishi City, he would probably only have two paths to choose from: one was to become research material for the scholars in the city to study the Blood Moon pantheon, and the other was to be secretly cultivated to do some shady things.
Harkley's initial enthusiasm quickly cooled down. Regardless of the reason, Sun Tu would have little to do with him anymore, and he had given up on trying to win him over. It seemed they had no chance of becoming colleagues.
Harkley didn't tell Sun Tu about this, letting him be happy for a while longer.
After that, no one else qualified. As night fell, everyone had to leave, pack their things, and move on later.
Sun Tu, however, couldn't wait to pull a few people with terrified expressions to a corner and have an in-depth conversation with them about their past.
……
"My Lord, can the Black Box enhance a person's divine power talent?"
The answer is obvious: yes, it is possible.
However, the chances of such things are too high. For ordinary people to improve their compatibility with divine power, they can only do so through subtle changes in the corresponding environment, and they need to bear the risk of abnormal divine power invading their bodies.
Little did they know that in many areas ravaged by unusual natural disasters, the survivors had contracted unusual diseases and mutated into monsters before they could even awaken their own powers.
Divine power is both the opportunity to step into the extraordinary and the abyss of the unusual.
Besides, the only way to improve compatibility is to use special methods to modify the soul. For example, Wang Yu improved his compatibility with the divine power of 'wisdom' by using this method, and became a second-tier chosen one as soon as he awakened.
Judging from the color of her soul, the degree of transformation is estimated to be at least 50%, but this is also Wang Yu's limit.
Every improvement thereafter can only be made after she has perfectly mastered the power of wisdom; otherwise, it will overflow and collapse. If she cannot master this power, even if the transformation is successful, her soul will gradually disintegrate.
What Jie Sheng is doing now is this research. He obtained the Emerald Star and harvested a large number of souls from the Blood Moon Believers. He has now completed the analysis and can even reverse-engineer the two divine powers of 'Wisdom' and 'Blood Moon'.
By continuously implanting fused divine power into the soul, one can improve the compatibility of the other's divine power. In a sense, he is already considered a god of both pantheons.
Unfortunately, his skill level was still insufficient, and he ruined more than a dozen Blood Moon Cultists.
"Due to a lack of experimental samples, the research on the Blood Moon pantheon has temporarily hit a bottleneck. At best, they have only been able to raise their souls to around 50%, and raising them beyond 50% has become much more difficult."
"The Emerald Star is worth further study. The wisdom and divine power it contains are highly complex. It seems that even divine powers from the same pantheon can be simple or complex. I have only deduced the basic form of the wisdom and divine power."
However, Jie Sheng still wanted Wang Yu to open the box to get the reward. After all, he didn't need more of what he already had, and the Chaos Origin could be converted into random effects. It was also possible to modify the soul, and perhaps he could get inspiration from it.
After replying to Wang Yu with the formulaic statement, "You can get everything from the box," Jie Sheng fell silent.
However, his silence did not mean that Wang Yu would not ask questions.
"Which pantheon does the deity belong to?"
This question stumped Jie Sheng, because he was not a god at all.
If he really had to pick a keyword, he could think of two: the 'nothingness' or 'chaos' effect that is randomly generated after an item is put into the black box.
"Nothingness...chaos..."
Wang Yu pondered, "So this box isn't black, but completely colorless? In other words, it's actually a void box that can produce chaotic and random effects?"
Wang Yu also had many questions about the specific effects of the Void Box, but she now had a good test subject.
