Apotheosis

Bending downwards, Zen stretched his arms and picked up a handful of sand from the ground.

The sand radiated a slight tinge of warmth. If examining carefully, one could definitely feel that the sand had a hint of energy from within.

"No one fuses with the Crimson Golden Sand, because it is the weakest kind of Other Shore Tokens. It only contains the force of half a divine megaton," Dorothy explained. She lifted her hand and began to point at some bare stones not so far away from where they were and continued, "See those stones? Those are the Heavenly Cyan Stones. Whenever a warrior fuses with it, they automatically gain the force of a divine megaton!"

"Heavenly Cyan Stone..."

Zen's eyes widened as soon as he saw the familiar stones.

He recalled that he saw one when Monica had brought him into the Dragon City for the very first time. Someone had verified his strength using the red stone in the city. He had the force of two divine megatons, and his Other Shore Token was a Heavenly Cyan Stone.

Taking a step forward, Zen carefully picked up a Heavenly Cyan Stone from the ground and observed it keenly. Scanning the stone very meticulously, he found that the power radiated by the stone was stronger than that of the Crimson Golden Sand.

"So I guess that what they're saying is true. It seems that the Other Shore is a place full of treasures. You can literally get one on every corner," Zen said, heaving a heavy sigh.

He was not afraid of any True God. In fact, he was even able to deal with a warrior who had just reached the Other Shore Realm.

Last time, he had used up all of his strength. However, the red stone only indicated that he merely had the force of one divine megaton. Frustrated by the result, he desired such a stone that could double his force. Now that he had found one, it would be easier for him to strengthen himself.

"This is not our goal. Let's go!" Dorothy reminded as she walked forward.

Coming from a great background, she belittled such Other Shore Tokens as if they were useless.

Even after the fusion, warriors could change their Other Shore Tokens. However, Dorothy was quite different from the rest as she was not in a hurry to do so.

Upon arriving at the Other Shore, most people chose to walk forward and explore. On the contrary, there were also some who would rather stay in place and not move far away from where they were. With the goal of enhancing their strength, these people combined with the Heavenly Cyan Stones, hoping for a speedy improvement.

The Other Shore was a powerful area. Everything around it radiated power — a grain of sand, a leaf, basically everything that anyone could get their hands on. In this area, warriors could basically integrate with anything they could touch! Meanwhile, Zen moved along the beach and felt the strong energy aura with every step he took.

In fact, he really didn't know what kind of place

oup of the human race. Their leader was Hammer Di, the eldest brother, with siblings Harding Di and Hackett Di.

In contrast to their big brother, both Harding and Hackett were very quiet and reserved.

"So, which group of the human race do you belong to?" Hammer asked.

"The Origin Mountain," Dorothy replied curtly.

Hearing her answer, the three of them changed their attitudes and showed respect towards her. Hammer even made a bow and said, "Y...you are from the Oneness Sky Palace! I've always been admiring you guys!"

Despite being in the same race, they still had a great desire and admiration for the top three forces of the human race.

But Dorothy did not respond for she was extremely scornful about this kind of worship. In fact, before she met Zen, she had always been very pessimistic about her own identity. Most of the time, she even envied those ordinary people of the Dragon City as she wanted to live a life of simplicity.

At least, they could struggle for their future and embrace the future that they worked hard for. In short, they could have a choice and run their lives the way they wanted to.

Since she was born, everything had already been arranged for her, and everything had been the same. She lived a life of monotony.

Meanwhile, Hammer continued to lead them through the plain based on the map shown by the Other Shore Key. After making a turn, they arrived at a curved canyon with a dilapidated temple leaned against its cracks.

Apparently, this was the so-called "Sacred Mallow Temple" that Hammer was referring to.

Despite the temple being old and dilapidated, its workmanship remained very advanced, along with its exquisite structure.

Zen stared at the temple from a distance and started to think, 'Who could have built this on the Other Shore?'

However, when Zen and the others got close to the Sacred Mallow Temple, they found that they weren't the only ones wanting to enter it.
