Ancient God in the Modern World

Allen is very pleased because he just gained a powerful follower.

With Cold Wind around, he did not have to worry about the modern world when he got back.

Also at this time, Allen looked at the tree.

Then, he introduced himself to the tree.

"Good day, I am the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

Allen did have the intention of making the tree as one of his followers. However, if he fails, it would be good to have another friend.

After Allen introduced himself, one of the roots of the tree popped up and bloomed a flower as if the tree is offering it to him.

"Divine Spirit of Life and Death, I and my brothers are willing to follow you if you can help us with our predicament of being trampled by the creatures of this realm."

As sturdy as they are, the tree talked slowly with a deep aged voice.

"Well, I could grant you what you ask. However, it would depend on yourself if you are capable," Allen replied.

He then added, "As you can see, I am still weak and am yet to return to my peak."

"Worry not, my lord." Allen was delighted as the tree called him lord. He is now sure that the tree wanted to become his follower.

The tree then added, "I can see it, my lord. However, of all the Divine Spirits that our race saw, we knew that you are different."

Allen was stunned. He did not expect that the tree would say such a thing. At the same time, he is also not sure what did the tree saw on him. Nevertheless, he is pleased.

Thus, Allen did not waste any moment and gave the tree his mark.

Then, he said, "make it grow, I would help you through that."

"Yes, my lord," the tree replied readily.

Allen waited for half a day for the squirrel to wake up. And when he did, he was flabbergasted to see that Allen gained a strong follower.

While waiting, Allen explained the use of faith energy to Cold Wind. However, he did not impart a training regime and only imparted the hand seals.

As someone at the ranks of an admiral, there is no need for Cold Wind to learn the training regimes that Allen prepared for his followers.

Those training regimes would not do any good to him.

No matter how he looked at Cold Wind, he was intimidated. However, he did not say any word regarding it.

They stayed for the night and continued pushing forward on the next day.

Meanwhile, barely a few hours passed since he had given his marks. However, Allen could feel a huge influx of divine energy.

Moreover, they are growing at a very fast pace.

At this rate, Allen would be back at his peak in no time.

Allen was very happy with his progress. With this, his foundation had become sturdy.

The foundation of a Divine Spirit is his followers. The stronger his followers are, the stronger his foundation will be. At the same time, the harder will he fall.

Their journey continued for another month. Only, then, do they finally arrive at the place where the Ratatoskr said the divine crystals are.

Well, they had arrived in the vicinity. However, they are yet to arrive at the real place. They still have to climb down a deep hole and fend off the dangers within.

Now, Allen is getting suspicious of the Ratatoskr. However, considering the gains, Allen calmed down.

'Where there are gains, there are risks,' Allen thought inwardly.

"My lord, let me explore the dangers first," Cold Wind volunteered.

"No need," Allen waved his hand as he declined him.

Then, Allen condensed his divine energy into a bird.

Not energy in a figure of a bird but a real bird.

As Allen had the authority over life and death, he could create these things.

Well, Allen would not consider doing this back in the time. However now, Allen had a divine crystal that contained lots of divine energy.

Furthermore, he is also about to gain more divine crystals. Knowing this, Allen's mood is superb.

The squirrel and Cold Wind could tell. In fact, Cold Wind is even infected by Allen's mood.

As the Ratatoskr noticed Allen condense a bird, he hurriedly explained to Allen what are the dangers within the hole.

According to the Ratatoskr, the hole is filled with a pack of spiders.

It is their hunting ground as well as their home.

As Allen looked around, he noticed traces of webs which means that oftentimes, the spiders would come out. And it was also confirmed by the Ratatoskr.

However, Allen no longer trusts the Ratatoskr. And every time the Ratatoskr talks, Allen would pay attention to his soul fluctuation.

He knew that the Ratatoskr from the very start did not have a good intention however Allen failed to detect it.

Or perhaps, the Ratatoskr only forgot to inform Allen. However, whatever the case, it is better to be cautious,

Meanwhile, after a while, the small bird that Allen released is back and reported everything that it saw.

According to the bird, there are gigantic spiders over the place. Their webs are all over the place. If the bird if not small and was not granted some abilities by Allen, he would not be able to survive the place and would have become a snack for one of the beasts.

It seemed that the Ratatoskr did not lie. It told Allen the truth. However, Allen also knew that the Ratatoskr would not lie at this time. It would be foolish to do so.

After all, Allen sent a scout ahead of him.

'Divine Spirits are really hard to deal with,' the Ratatoskr thought inwardly.

The truth is it was the first time that the Ratatoskr dealt with a Divine Spirit. At first, he was very excited. However now, he is very anxious.

He knew that with one small mistake, he would die especially now that he had an admiral as a follower.
