The essence of the Ice God gently pulsated in Shui Wuya's hand.
The surrounding space seemed to drop to absolute zero.
He did not hurry to channel the Ice God essence into the Undead Realm.
"The Ice God essence is just the beginning. Next, it's time to subdue the divine essences left by other gods."
The reason he chose to subdue the Ice God essence first was that he could not guarantee success with the essences of other gods.
Now, with his status as the Sect Master and the Ice God essence in hand, it was unlikely that the divine essences from other gods would resist him.
At this moment.
The many family representatives, who had recovered from their shock, looked at Shui Wuya with profound respect.
Countless strong figures among them had tried in vain to extract the divine essence from the statues.
Shui Wuya not only succeeded but did so effortlessly.
It was truly unprecedented.
Soon, representatives from various influential families approached Shui Wuya to offer their respectful congratulations.
"Shui Family Head's methods are truly breathtaking!"
"Indeed, the Shui Family Head lives up to his reputation. His divine abilities are unmatched across the continent."
Among the crowd, the Pope of the Martial Soul Temple could no longer contain her curiosity.
With utmost respect, she inquired, "Shui Family Head, may I ask how you accomplished this?"
However, as soon as she asked, she regretted it.
For Shui Wuya to achieve this feat, he must have put in immense effort and research.
Would such a secret be revealed so easily?
Moreover, just because Shui Wuya could achieve it didn't mean she could.
The onlookers' eyes held a hint of schadenfreude toward the Pope of the Martial Soul Temple.
Usually so composed, the Pope had let slip this time.
Yet, it was understandable. Who among them didn't want to know? They simply lacked the courage.
To everyone's surprise, Shui Wuya did not reprimand the Pope for her indiscretion. Instead, he agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, I'll show you how to do it."
"Pay attention; I'll only demonstrate once."
Shui Wuya's voice echoed through the Hall of Gods.
The crowd's expressions lit up with joy, and they stood attentively, ready to listen to Shui Wuya's guidance.
Shui Wuya walked directly to the statue of the Angel God in the Martial Soul Temple and casually placed his hand on the statue.
This sudden action took everyone by surprise.
"Eh?"
"Shui Family Head, are you planning to demonstrate through the Angel God?"
The crowd was astonished.
The Pope of the Martial Soul Temple, in particular, was horrified, her eyes widening in shock.
She knew that Shui Wuya was not disrespecting the Angel God.
However, such an action was beyond her comprehension.
The Angel God was the principal deity of the Martial Soul Temple, not a deity of the Shui Family.
The Shui Family Head boldly replicated his previous actions.
Was he not afraid of offending the Angel God?
Suddenly, the ground trembled!
Streams of golden light emanated from the Angel God's statue.
As the golden light spread, the golden divine lamp on the altar before the Angel God illuminated the entire hall.
Next, the illusion of the Angel God began to materialize.
The Angel God, adorned in a white robe with a golden belt, crowned with a dazzling diadem, and bearing radiant golden wings, exuded a divine brilliance.
Golden feathers fell like rain, enhancing her sacred presence.
The immense divine majesty nearly suffocated everyone with its gravity.
"The great Angel God... has descended!"
The Pope of the Martial Soul Temple trembled with excitement.
He quickly adjusted his crown and, with a shaking voice, led all the Martial Soul Temple members in a profound bow, showing deep reverence to the Angel God.
The other influential families, awed by the Angel God's presence, also bowed their heads and lowered their bodies in respect.
The divine manifestation of the Angel God bathed the entire Hall of Gods in sacred light.
The Angel God's illusion initially appeared aloof, but her expression changed when her gaze fell upon Shui Wuya standing before the statue.
Shui Wuya extended his spiritual energy to communicate with the Angel God, requesting the bestowal of the divine essence.
Without hesitation, the Angel God waved her hand.
With a flash of golden light, she transformed into a ball of golden divine essence.
This golden essence shone with unparalleled brilliance, dazzling like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Shui Wuya reached out to catch the divine essence, but the golden light quickly vanished, flowing directly into his body.
It was clear that the Angel God had misunderstood Shui Wuya's intention.
Shui Wuya couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I intended to gather all the essences before merging them... but since it's already here, let's do it in one go."
Shui Wuya took a deep breath, concentrated his spiritual power, and opened the Undead Realm within him.
He then guided the Angel God's power, infusing the golden divine essence into the Undead Realm.
A divine light instantly illuminated the once-dark realm.
"Oh no, not again!"
"We need to escape!"
The undead, sensing the arrival of the Angelic power, panicked and scattered in all directions.
Accustomed to darkness, they felt an instinctive fear towards this holy and radiant energy.
Fortunately, having experienced similar phenomena before, their escape efforts were well-practiced.
Soon, the environment within the Undead Realm began to change.
The Angelic power transformed into shimmering golden stars, lighting up the pitch-black sky.
Some of the less cruel and bloodthirsty undead, gazing at the golden stars, began to change.
Their forms started to become clearer, their eyes emitting a faint glow, as if they were being reborn.
"This divine essence is truly extraordinary."
Shui Wuya muttered to himself, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"I can't waste time; I need to collect the remaining divine powers one by one."
Shui Wuya resolved to himself.
He then left the Undead Realm and returned to the real world.
Upon opening his eyes, he found everyone staring at him in stunned silence.
Shui Yuanchen quickly approached with concern, "Family Head, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Shui Wuya replied casually.
Shui Yuanchen, still uneasy, said, "But we saw that divine power from the Angel God enter your body!"
Shui Wuya smiled and explained, "I've already refined and absorbed that divine power. It poses no harm to me."
"Ah!?"
Everyone was astonished.
No wonder the Shui Family Head showed no signs of rejection.
But they were even more puzzled about how Shui Wuya managed to do it!
The Pope of the Martial Soul Temple's face turned ashen, her expression complex.
What happened to the promised guidance?
The Shui Family Head had directly absorbed the divine power of their Martial Soul Temple!?
One of the Martial Soul Temple elders hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Pope, that divine power was a great opportunity left by our ancestors, crucial to your ascension to divinity. Don't just stand there—quickly ask the Shui Family Head to return that divine power!"
