I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1701 - Chapter 1701 Chapter 1702 Encounter Metian Again

Chapter 1701: Chapter 1702: Encounter Metian Again Chapter 1701: Chapter 1702: Encounter Metian Again Song Jian stared at the two characters for “Chaos” on the divine name and fell into thought. The only ability he now possessed that could be related to Chaos was the Chaos Sword Canon, which had already reached its full level. Even though it was at full level, Song Jian could clearly feel that he hadn’t fully understood the Chaos Sword Canon; there was still value in further developing it.

It should be noted that Song Jian had only comprehended four sword techniques from the Chaos Sword Canon: “Red Dust Tribulation,” “Divine Fall,” “Star Destruction,” and “Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Ancestry.” The other elders of the Imperial Sword Sect who mastered the Chaos Sword Canon had comprehended at least six moves, and at most, nine sword techniques.

“If I continue to contemplate the Chaos Sword Canon and deepen my understanding, perhaps, I could master the Chaos Law?” Song Jian thought to himself. The very thought excited him. After all, the Chaos Law ranked alongside time and space in terms of tier; otherwise, why would time and chaos be listed together in the divine name?

Just then, the divine temple where Song Jian was located became completely enveloped by divine light. The dazzling nine-colored divine light caused all the different races that discovered the Spatial Rift and wanted to approach to stop in their tracks, as if startled, and they all kept their distance from the area.

Clearly, the strength of a high-ranking deity was not something ordinary different races dared to challenge. In the Divine World, areas occupied by high-ranking deities were forbidden zones for those different races at the Legendary Realm. Such deities could not be defeated by sheer numbers.

System: The Pantheon has opened. In thirty minutes, the struggle for divine positions will begin. Would you like to be transported inside the Pantheon now? If you choose “No,” this will be regarded as forfeiting the struggle for a divine position. Yes/No

“The struggle for divine positions has started so soon?” Song Jian was surprised. Considering there were three hundred and sixty regular divine positions, and it had only been a few months, unless the saints who had fallen to the mortal realm had all regained their strength and returned to the Divine World, how could there be so many deities?

“With my current strength, I wonder if I can compete for one of the twelve Main God positions!” Song Jian said with a slight smile, his mind moved and nine fist-sized orbs began to orbit around him like satellites around a main star, exuding majesty and oppression.

Transport!

Song Jian made his choice, and in an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.

As soon as Song Jian disappeared, the divine temple he controlled also began to undergo changes. The original Spatial Rift was a long spatial channel that led to the space where the divine temple was located.

The size of this space had been determined by the size of the Spatial Rift, but now, the channel connecting the Spatial Rift to the Divine World began to shorten gradually, until eventually, the spatial channel disappeared altogether.

The divine temple, and the area around it, appeared in the Divine World, with defensive formations on the outside, and the temple began to merge with the defensive formations.

From a distance, the temple appeared like a mirage in the desert, somewhat unreal, but as one approached, the mirage did not disappear: the grand “Time and Chaos Divine Temple” stood firmly in the desert.

Although it was visible, for an ordinary deity, entering the temple was an impossible task. Previously, one only needed to break the external defensive formation to enter, but now, the temple and the formation had merged, and with the addition of the Spatial Rift’s power, entry required the ability to break through spatial barriers.

Only after breaking the spatial barriers would the temple truly reveal itself. In other words, the defense of a temple bearing a divine name had become even more formidable. Ordinary deities likely didn’t possess the capability to break through spatial barriers; only a Main Deity specializing in the Space Law might have such power.

Song Jian only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and after a slight feeling of weightlessness, he found himself in front of a magnificent temple– the Pantheon, grander than any deity’s temple.

Looking from afar, a vast mountain range lay like a Giant Dragon sprawled across the land, with peaks rising high every few dozen kilometers, undulating like the spine of the dragon.

Atop each peak stood a petrified temple, devoid of any divine light, appearing as if they were sculptures.

Shua~

Another burst of white light flared up, and five or six meters away from Song Jian, a figure suddenly appeared–like Song Jian, they had just been transported here.

Narrowing his eyes, he unleashed the Perception Eye and looked towards the newcomer.

Pfft~

A slight noise ensued, and the Perception Eye that had just formed shattered instantly as the newly arrived deity turned to look at Song Jian as well.

The deity was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a face wearing a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, looking at Song Jian and said, “Young fellow, prying into others’ affairs is quite rude! Moreover, your method of investigation is too primitive; you’re lucky it was me you encountered. Had it been someone with a worse temper, it could’ve sparked a divine war!”

Having said that, the deity didn’t even bother to have a conversation with Song Jian and walked straight towards the open doors of the Pantheon, soon disappearing through them.

“The level of my Perception Eye is still too low,” Song Jian couldn’t help but lament. Using such a skill to probe a deity was almost certain to be noticed.

After considering the divine accumulated, Song Jian hesitated for a moment, then spent a hundred points of divinity on the Perception Eye. Quickly, the skill icon for Perception Eye began to blur in the ability list–clearly, for the Perception Eye, a hundred points of divinity were enough to make it evolve, to undergo a qualitative change!

“It remains to be seen if it can advance to divine level!” Song Jian thought to himself and prepared to walk towards the Pantheon. He could feel many powerful presences within the Pantheon, and even several auras emitted were stronger than his own, causing a shiver in his heart. Just having advanced to become a powerful divine being and getting formidable powers made him more cautious.

“Powerful force does indeed influence one’s nature. If it were before, how could I possibly have used the Perception Eye to probe another deity directly?” Song Jian reflected, shaking his head slightly to set his attitude straight.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

“Eh, Mayor Song, I didn’t expect your strength to have increased so quickly; you’ve become a deity now, haven’t you? Hahaha, that’s impressive, really impressive!”

Song Jian turned his head to see a middle-aged man in chain armor looking at him in surprise. Behind him, a follower of the gods was closely trailing.

A follower of the gods? A player?

Song Jian was taken aback. At this stage, have players already ascended to divine level? That’s fast!

“Star Destruction? Have you fully recovered?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes, realizing the person was none other than the frenzied deity Star Destruction, who once tried to take the City of Hope single-handedly but was nearly killed by Song Jian in three moves. He hadn’t expected the other to recover so swiftly, having already made it to the Divine Temple and appearing here.

“Haha, thanks to good fortune, I haven’t returned to my peak form yet, but it’s not a big problem to enter the Divine World and return to my own temple,” While Star Destruction was smiling broadly, the ferocity in his eyes didn’t diminish one bit. He remembered his defeat at the hands of Song Jian, and how he nearly perished. This vengeance, he had always kept in mind.
