The moment that the Fire King’s connection to his god was broken, the Shadow quickly used his Divine Sense to search his soul. The so-called True Gods were nothing but Supernatural Realm cultivators, as such, with the Shadow’s cultivation at the Divine Body Realm, it was quite easy to search this guy’s soul.

After doing that, the Shadow quickly returned to the kitchen and pretended nothing happened; to the outside world, he was nothing but a regular mortal.

As for the Fire King, he woke up long after that. And the first thing he did was to quickly bury these thoughts deep in his mind once again, then quickly pray to the Fire God and offer his allegiance.

The Fire King knew that his momentary lapse in faith would eventually be discovered by the Fire God, thus making it even harder for him to be acknowledged for his service and granted the opportunity to ascend to higher levels of godhood.

Meanwhile, after observing for a few more days, the Shadow sneaked out of the palace and headed back to send the information back to the commander. Unfortunately for him, an accident happened on his way back.

While flying to his destination, the Shadow suddenly stopped as he felt an intense pressure coming from above him. Immediately after that, a man dressed in black armor suddenly descended from the sky.

The armored man looked at the Shadow and said: "Outsider, I’ve finally found you. Come with this God for your judgment."

The Shadow frowned after hearing this; based on the aura of this man, he could tell that he was more powerful than the Fire King. He was most likely equivalent to him in terms of cultivation.

He quickly overviewed some of the memories he just received from the Fire King, then asked: "Are you a Void God?"

"That’s correct. Since you know about my strength, you should know that it is futile to resist. So, come with me peacefully and do not resist. After you tell all the Supreme Gods about information of your world, we can consider being lenient on your punishment."

The Shadow could tell that this guy’s voice raised a little when he mentioned another world, meaning that he was too excited and could not control his emotion.

"Before I follow you, there is something that I would like to ask first," said the Shadow with a humble tone in his voice.

The armored man smiled after hearing this, "Go ahead."

"How did you discover me?"

"That’s easy. The Goddess of Destiny has calculated your whereabouts."

The Shadow slightly frowned after hearing this. From what he knows, the God of Destiny was one of the 36 Supreme Gods just like the Fire God. However, that’s not what he cares about.

Logically speaking, as a person who cultivated a reduced version of the [Transcending Fate Sutra], he should have some immunity towards divination and calculation. Yet, this Goddess of Destiny still managed to calculate his whereabouts.

’That God is not simple,’ thought the Shadow. ’I have to warn the commander to be very cautious when dealing with her.’

After thinking about this, the Shadow wanted to continue asking questions, however, he felt a powerful gaze looking in this direction. So, without saying anything, he suddenly disappeared and appeared behind the armored man.

Two grey daggers appeared in his hand and stabbed him. The daggers pierced this guy’s armor as a knife cut through butter. Golden blood dripped down the latter’s back, and the Shadow quickly collected some and placed it inside his space ring.

The armored man looked in shock wondering why this person suddenly went back on his words and attacked him.

"How dare you lie to a God," roared the armored man. A golden ax suddenly appeared in his hand and he swung it in an attempt to destroy the Shadow.

Unfortunately, to the latter, the armored man was incredibly slow, so he just dodged the attack. This act seemed to infuriate him, making him continue to lash attack after attacks without stopping.

Meanwhile, the Shadow was extremely calm and composed. While dodging, he quickly analyzes his opponent. The first thing he noticed was that the wound he caused was already healed.

’This guy seems to have a natural healing factor. Does that only apply to him or all the Gods? Let’s test the extent of this healing ability.’

The Shadow then stopped dodging and went on the offensive. With his two daggers and the speed advantage, he started to cut the armored man in different places.

All the man could see was countless hands appearing in front of him and cutting him; although his eyes could see the movement of the Shadow, his body could not keep up with the speed.

As for the Shadow, he was not happy for causing so many wounds on his opponent as he could tell that these wounds were only superficial and did not do that much damage. Additionally, the wounds would heal instantly after making them.

’In that case, let’s try a Soul Attack,’ through the Shadow. His spiritual powers turned into countless strings and rushed into the armored man’s Sea of Consciousness trying to cut his soul into many pieces.

Unfortunately, the armored man only paused briefly for a moment before continuing to defend himself; the attack was ineffective.

’It seems that with the power of incense protecting them, these Gods are greatly immune to Soul Attacks.’

A grey aura suddenly appeared on the Shadow’s daggers, then he immediately attacked. Before the armored man could understand what was going on, he felt an intense pain that made him scream out loud.

After locating the source of the pain, he discovered that one of his arms was chopped off, golden blood flowing from it. What’s even worse, the damn outsider was collecting his blood like it was a piece of merchandise.

"You dare hurt this God’s Divine Body!" roared the armored man. "You dare!" His eyes turned red, and an aura of madness suddenly enveloped him; he seemed to want to devour the Shadow.

Unfortunately, the latter just calmly looked at him. The evaluation of these Gods was drastically decreased by the Shadow--well at the very least, based on this guy’s performance.

In this brief battle, he could tell that this guy was extremely arrogant, so he underestimated his opponent during battle. Additionally, he quickly realized that his opponent had little to no battle intuition or experience.

It was like he was used to using absolute force to deal with his opponent, as such, he had never faced any real challenge in his life.

’If all the Gods are like this, then it might be easier to conquer this world than expected,’ thought the Shadow. However, he did not immediately conclude. After all, he has only met one God.

After screaming for a few seconds, the armored man stopped, and the Shadow noticed that the blood in his arm had stopped. However, he was happy that the arm did not immediately grow back. This shows that the regenerative ability of these Gods had a limit.

Unfortunately, the Shadow was not happy for long. Suddenly, a bright star shone in the sky even though it was in the middle of the day. Then, the Shadow felt his surroundings suddenly change.

The space around him solidified and it became very difficult to move; every single action required tremendous effort. Even his origin essence was running extremely slow.

"Domain?" muttered the Shadow, then he quickly denied that. He suddenly remembered some of the information that he received from the Fire King.

According to the cultivation system of the world, after divine energy is liquefied in the Divine Transformation Stage, the next step is to further compress that energy into a seed and enter the Divine Seed Realm.

In that realm, cultivators are called True Gods. However, above that is the Divine Abode Realm or the Void Gods. In this realm, the seed inside these Gods will blend into Heaven and Earth to create something called the Heavenly Abode--which is essentially a small world.

The Heavenly Abode--which is located in the sky as stars--is where many of the believers of these Gods are sent after death, and also the place where they cultivate other Gods as part of their Pantheon.

One of the abilities of Void Gods is to use the power of their Heavenly Abode and dramatically increase their powers.

All these thoughts flashed across the Shadow’s mind in just an instant. Then, he continued to observe the armored man. He then saw some kind of energy coming from the sky and entering the man’s body.

Immediately afterward, his divine energy was replenished, and more importantly, his arm grew back in an instant.

The armored man looked at the Shadow with hatred in his eyes. "Thanks to you, I had to use so much incense to regrow my arm. For this, I will make you suffer for an eternity."

The armored man suddenly disappeared before appearing behind the Shadow’s back; his golden ax shone brightly as he swung it down with absolute force, bringing down the might of a God.
