Chapter 1589: Chapter 1129: Human Nature

The Heavenly Palace Battlefield, bestowed with Divine Inheritances from the Ancient Celestial Court and other mythologies, as well as numerous opportunities to enhance control of Divinity.

It is a special Instance Task only accessible to players above LV15 and in possession of corresponding items.

Each player has only one chance, and it is also the task with the highest likelihood of becoming a Demigod.

Guardian and Punisher, Chen Tianjiao. It was in the Heavenly Palace Battlefield that he became a Demigod, suppressing and slaying demons.

And in the most recent Heavenly Palace Battlefield, although no Demigods emerged, several powerful beings who had unlocked Demigod States appeared.

One of them even displayed a General’s State, astonishing national organizations around the world.

The appearance of a new General of this era, does that not imply that the previous generation’s General, Li Ba, has perished?

This caused some players and organizations to feel regret and pity, while others were thrilled and delighted.

Meanwhile, the major national organizations also gleaned the identity of this new generation War Master.

That is a Book of Heaven powerhouse from the Tianyan Association!

Before revealing his Demigod State, he yelled at a certain girl,

"Do you think... your encounter with Li Ba wasn’t orchestrated by the Book of Heaven?" He laughed wildly, "If it weren’t for the purpose of nurturing Li Ba, you would have been sold into the mountains long ago! Now that Li Ba is dead, you are useless too."

This completely enraged the Blood Frost Demon God, who attacked the Book of Heaven powerhouse without hesitation. With the Demigod State activated, holding the mysterious Mercury Artifact, she engaged in a fierce battle with the current General.

At the same time, it also sent chills down the spines of national organizations.

They once again witnessed the frightening extent to which the Book of Heaven could manipulate fate.

Elsewhere, in an unnamed mysterious space in the main world, as the new generation War Master, King Lear, sat bare-chested within a giant bronze furnace. Allowing the furnace to be lit, to refine the hostile Divinity lingering in his body.

On his left arm, shoulder, and neck, blood-red ice spikes protruded from his skin.

As the furnace was ignited, the ice spikes slowly melted away.

King Lear watched the blood-red ice spikes indifferently, "To think she realized the Divinity adherence of the Bloodriders, that woman is lucky amidst misfortune. Or perhaps, I should say, befitting as Li Ba’s woman? Such madness."

"But it is precisely because of this repressed madness that she was chosen as the new powerhouse for the Book of Heaven." A white-haired old man outside the furnace chuckled, "You’ve done well, after suffering multiple setbacks, her human nature is no longer able to suppress the rapidly growing Divinity. Upon entering the Eternal Throne task, she will quickly become a Demigod. Of course, so will you."

"After all, I am the genuine article." King Lear laughed lightly.

...

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Principle’s Twilight Manor,

Upon receiving reports from his subordinates, the Demigod Mercury Angel couldn’t help but express his disbelief, "It’s hard to believe... Could my friend have truly died in battle? As a new General has emerged?"

"Does this mean that our previous investments have been in vain?" asked Qin Ling, the chief God’s Chosen.

On the Heavenly Palace Battlefield, players from the Mountain and Sea Alliance repeatedly assisted the Great Wall.

And God’s Chosen, Xu Zhi, even provided the Mercury Angel’s crafted Legendary Divine Harm, Mercury Star River, on loan to Li Ba’s widow.

The artifact immediately recognized its new master and did not plan to return.

The investment in resources was substantial.

If it’s confirmed that Li Ba has indeed died, then all that investment would be wasted.

After a moment of contemplation, the Mercury Angel responded, "No, we can only confirm if my friend is truly dead after entering the Eternal Throne task. Moreover, even if he really has died, we must not offend that widow. Her talent is great, and it seems she could soon become a Demigod. There’s no need to become enemies, although, such a result might be troubling..."

"Troubling?" Qin Ling asked in confusion. She didn’t understand why becoming a Demigod could be a problem.

"That’s right, according to the information you’ve brought. Her Divinity is increasing at a maddening pace and quickly approaching the Demigod level."

The Mercury Angel explained with a smile, "For you, this may be a good thing. But for those about to become Demigods, this means they can no longer suppress their Divinity. When Divinity devours humanity, she will also lose her own emotions. She will become the kind of Divinity countless Believers await. Absolutely rational and ruthless... no longer the person she once was, but a strange divinity wearing her skin."

"Why does this happen?" Qin Ling asked.

"Human emotions, being human, you should understand better than I do," the Mercury Angel said solemnly. "Everything will have to wait until the Eternal Throne is opened, to ascertain the life and death of my friend, before it can be revealed. If... she really becomes a Demigod under these circumstances, I can only congratulate her."

Hearing this news, Xu Zhi immediately relayed the intelligence to the Great Wall.

...

And in the familial apartments of the Great Wall, one room has been thoroughly encased in ice.

That white-haired girl, with the demeanor of a deity, sat on the frosty sofa as though seated on a queen’s throne.

She was so sacred and indifferent.

Her ancient mirror-like eyes devoid of any sentiment.

Today, she had activated her Demigod State, and theoretically, she was only a step away from becoming a Demigod.

But the price was so colossal. The prayers of countless Believers traversed the endless void and converged beside her.

Her humanity was gradually being suppressed, with Divinity slowly replacing her personality.

"Old Ancestor said that King Lear only gained recognition from another Chiyou fragment with consciousness. The Old Ancestor will not acknowledge it; he is the real Chiyou. What is that fragment worth?" Chen Yu’s voice echoed outside the icy room.

"That King Lear is just provoking you! Even without the intervention of the Book of Heaven, you two would meet... The ninety-nine cities of the Netherworld are proof of that."

Xiao Nan responded calmly, "I know, of course, he won’t die. I understand him far better than you, a philandering cat. King Lear is but a jumping clown..."

"You should not participate in this Eternal Throne Task," Chen Yu’s voice carried a hint of pleading. "Please, don’t go, okay?"

"No, you can’t stop me..." Xiao Nan said impartially.

The Eternal Throne is a large-scale world task, in which human players from all over the void can participate. This includes Li Changhe, who may have fallen into the void.

This is also the only recent task that can confirm whether Li Changhe is alive or dead.

If he is still alive, he will surely join the task. How could she not go?

The Great Wall, of course, knew the worst outcome. Thus, they planned to prevent Xiao Nan from entering the task.

If he is still alive, all will be well.

But if he is truly gone, her last vestige of humanity will be completely suppressed, and she will rapidly become a Demigod.

A Demigod who is no longer herself.

And by then, she won’t care about this anymore.

...

As time passed day by day, there was only one day left for players from the main world to enter the task.

All large organizations were actively preparing for battle.

Because the task was limited to those below Demigod status, some official organizations sent players on the verge of becoming Demigods into the task.

They planned to let them become Demigods during the task.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe, who was training in the void, received an advanced task notification.
