Apotheosis

After Zen entered the Wild Goose Pass, he had met the Mice League and the Man-eating Demon Flower.

However, he had always believed in the dominance of humans, so it was difficult for him to accept the case in the Source World.

Although the people of the Sword Light Palace did not show any interest in occupying the Gracious Province, they had once sent their warriors to exterminate the Man-eating Demon Flowers in the province.

Although unable to move, the Man-eating Demon Flower reproduced rapidly. Every Man-eating Demon Flower could produce millions of seeds, and they could thrive even in such harsh environments like the desert.

They would be seen everywhere again several years after the Sword Light Palace had exterminated them.

Thirty thousand years ago, the Sword Light Palace had no time to pay attention to the Gracious Province due to its own problems. Therefore, a Man-eating Demon Flower had insidiously reached the Other Shore Realm and kept growing. As time went by, it integrated an Other Shore Token from the Stage Fifteen, becoming the king of the Man-eating Demon Flowers. As a result, the monstrous flower and its seeds became even more difficult to eradicate.

The Man-eating Demon Flowers were very intelligent, and they used a unique system to support people of the Sand Country, who worshiped the flowers as gods.

A large number of Sand Country folks willingly offered themselves as sacrifices to the beastly blooms because they considered it a supreme honor to do so.

The Sword Light Palace tried to stop people of the Sand Country, but the people considered them as enemies and attacked them. In the end, the palace could only let the Man-eating Demon Flowers grow widely in the desert.

"Perhaps, they mistake our goodwill for ill intent." The woman named Laura murmured. The deathly pallor of her skin had been replaced by the faintest flush of color, making her look radiant.

She did not force Zen to tell her where he came from but went on explaining to him the structure of the Gracious Province.

After she finished, Zen sighed. It seemed like the Source World was much more complicated than he had originally su

.

The Unknown Fire released by the Evil God had burned the man's blood, flesh, bones, and brain. His body was now filled with the Unknown Fire.

When the Evil God banged him onto the ground, all of the Unknown Fire in the man's body rushed into the ground and surged under the desert.

"Ahhh!"

"What kind of fire is this?"

"I'm burning!"

As it turned out, people of the Sand Country were beneath those dunes.

Their cultivation base was not low, and most of them were top-rank True Gods. They had the advantage in numbers, so they not only lured outsiders but also directly attacked them.

However, they encountered the Evil God this time, so they were out of luck.

They crawled out of the ground and rolled around on the dunes. Their bodies were charred by the Unknown Fire, but no flames were seen.

In the blink of an eye, they were killed by the Unknown Fire.

Among the charred corpses, a person managed to survive. The Evil God slowly walked toward him.

The fastest way to learn about this world was by reading the people's souls.

The Evil God had had a conflict with a divine citizen before, so he slaughtered all of the residents in the citizen's village by the river. In this manner, he had obtained many memories of this world.

However, the status of these divine citizens was too low, and they didn't have much experience. Therefore, the Evil God shifted his focus toward True Gods as his new targets.
