Chapter 524 - Sneaking into the World of Gods

At this moment, the Manderhawke Plate in Leylin's hands flashed and completely enveloped the entire area, not allowing any information to be transmitted.

Near Rank 7 Power was something that even the wills of small worlds could only somewhat resist. While the World of Gods was incomparably powerful, it was still slumbering, and there was only a small region resisting.

It had not activated its full force and the Manderhawke Plate had even removed a portion of its sensing abilities, so therefore it was at its weakest.

At that moment, a surge of powerful emotions disappeared, revealing a small space.

"Now's the time!"

Leylin's eyes flashed, and numerous soul seeds separated and disappeared into the crystal wall.

Practically the very moment the soul seeds disappeared into the pathway, the entire Manderhawke Plate crumbled into powder. Leylin was sent flying backward, numerous terrifying wounds already appearing on his body as he turned pale.

Fresh blood spurted everywhere, but it returned to Leylin's body at an even faster rate, as if his body had become a huge magnet. The terrifying injuries disappeared in an instant, though Leylin's face was still obviously pale.

"Just the backlash from a small portion of the crystal wall reduced me to this state, despite the protection of the Manderhawke Plate…"

Leylin's eyes were filled with admiration.

He had not attacked the wall forcefully before, or else he would have met the counterattack of the Crystal Wall and fury of the Gods, which would have turned him into ashes in an instant.

This sort of powerful ability not only failed to make Leylin afraid, but it left him longing to best it.

However, Leylin's sighs of admiration disappeared in an instant. He was now putting effort into maintaining the connection with his soul, and the terrifying consumption continued.

Unlike separated truesouls, one couldn't sever the support to a soul seed if one wished to maintain it.

Even for an existence like Leylin, the consumption from behind the barrier in the World of Gods was astonishing, even though things had happened only for a short moment.

The A.I. Chip was now quickly recording.

The process of traversing through the crystal wall was not smooth, and soon, information on the soul seeds being annihilated was transmitted.

[Soul seed #1 extinguished.]

[Soul seed #2 extinguished. The estimated time that the host can maintain support: 67h 29min 59s.]

However, this lessened the consumption on his end, allowing Leylin to go on for longer.

An orange meteor streaked through the night skies, descending in a dark forest.

"This is… the World of Gods?"

Leylin's soul seed scanned the surroundings.

It was a dark forest, and his blaming flames had already caused the area around him to be charred, creating an empty area there.

"An enormous malicious intent, as well as these laws!"

Leylin's soul seed did all it could to gather data.

"The terrifying World Will of the World of Gods might only be suppressing me unconsciously, but that's enough to suppress the range of the soul force's scanning to within 25 meters… On top of that, these limitations on otherworldly power… Without any special device that could fool the World Will, it is essentially impossible to avoid being suppressed by the World's Will... If I only had some Dawn Pylons."

Leylin could clearly sense that this was an exceptionally strict world with extremely powerful limitations on otherworldly strength.

Dawn Pylons were treasures of technology of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator that was able to suppress the World's Will, or if used correctly, it could essentially fool the World's Will.

Even if Morning Star Magi came here, they would not possess powerful strength, and it was impossible for them to do what they could in the Magus World. But this was a common occurrence for most of the world because outsiders were always suppressed.

Strictly speaking, it was like every person born in some world, realm or universe had something akin to "Citizenship ID" engraved in his very own soul. This essentially identified the person as a native of the world and the world treated him like its own.

"I need to get to the work... all must go according to the plan. The God Path."

The Path of Gods, also known as the Path of Faith, was the foundation of the laws of the World of Gods. Whether it was Gods, Demons, or even Devils, their desire for believers and souls was frightening.

The competition on the main material plane had been fierce from the very beginning.

Obviously, Leylin was aware of the dangers of the Path of Faith because while it was giving tremendous power, it came with countless risks and dangers within. The first thing was that one's existence was tied to his followers and worshippers.

Secondly, one could say that Faith was like poison because the energy was tainted with the assumptions, ideas and essence of the worshippers. Absorbing the Faith for a very long time, one's personality and being could be easily overdriven by the imagination of its believers.

Fortunately, the God Path that Leylin had was devoid of these side effects and there was even a method of refining the Faith into God-Force that was pure energy without any side effects.

Yet contrary to the Faith Gods, Leylin would lack the Divine Kingdom they all possessed and some minor things, but that was the minor price he was gladly willing to pay.

"Fortunately, I have learned the method of shielding my soul from the side effects of Faith and even the method to refine it so that the plan could start."

He muttered as he looked at the distance and sensed that some of the natives were coming his way; he grinned and used the strongest illusion spell he could to change his appearance to that of Holy Nāga.

"As expected from devils, they really know how to exploit others."

He extensively discussed with Gu Long how to enter the World of Gods and also how to gain a foothold in the place as soon as possible.
