Mist drifts, and the high towers of the Immortal Pavilion stand tall.
A middle-aged man, who possesses the demeanor of an immortal, is seated cross-legged on a mat, channeling energy to nurture his body with a steady breath. Beside him sit two child attendants, a boy and a girl, who accompany the man in his practice.
Pfft!!!
Suddenly, the man spits out a mouthful of black blood. Blood splatters on the child attendants sitting on either side, jolting them awake instantly.
Witnessing the man vomiting blood, their first reaction is one of shock and horror.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Master, why are you vomiting blood? What happened?"
The two child attendants quickly stand up and rush over to support their master, filled with concern.
"Damn fool, damn Heaven and Earth Laws, and that wretched Array!" The man grumbles under his breath, unable to suppress his aura any longer, which erupts forcefully.
Boom!
The two child attendants closest to him instantly exploded, their bodies disintegrating, yet strands of Spiritual Qi fly out from them and surge into the man's Dantian.
The death of the child attendants does not sadden the man; instead, he looks at the blood and flesh on the ground with disdain.
"Useless, even with an Emperor Body, you only reached Saint King after all this time." The man spits upward before quickly resuming his cross-legged posture, beginning to channel energy into his body once more.
However, as he starts absorbing energy, he suddenly coughs up another mouthful of blood.
This time, he collapses to the ground, barely clinging to life, and only after a long while does he come to.
"Damned bastard, don't let me see you in the higher realm!!!" The man, seething with rage, shouts furiously, then looks toward the door: "King Kong Hammer Twins!"
With these words, a pair of twins appears instantly, towering as high as small mountains, with massive bodies clad in indestructible golden armor, and faces fiercely menacing. The most notable feature is the gigantic hammers they both wield, their footsteps causing the ground to tremble.
"Master!"
Upon seeing the man, the two kneel in unison, causing the ground to tremble and rumble loudly.
"Now go immediately to the lower realm and kill him!" the man points, transmitting Chen Lan's image into their minds, "And find and bring back my doppelgänger."
He realizes his doppelgänger didn't die because he didn't suffer the backlash from its death, instead, it was the soul mark of his Magical Treasure that was wiped.
The doppelgänger is likely taken by that scoundrel. If he can retrieve the doppelgänger and merge the two into one, his power will be restored.
After memorizing Chen Lan's appearance, they nodded heavily: "We guarantee completion of the mission!"
The two of them are peerless Great Emperors, and being twins, they were born with a united Divine Technique, the Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering Hammer.
They once fought five peerless Great Emperors and emerged undefeated, even killing their opponents, earning fame in a single battle, though they gave themselves the rather childish nickname, King Kong Hammer Twins.
Despite the silly moniker, it has now become a title that many fear.
The King Kong Hammer Twins sheathe their giant hammers and proceed to the Teleportation Array leading to the lower realm.
Traveling to the lower realm, they are not restricted by the Heaven and Earth Laws, but now there's a problem: the Teleportation Array leading to the lower realm only allows a one-way journey, with a great chance that they can't return once they go.
But they will not defy their Master's command!
Watching the King Kong Hammer Twins depart, the man smiles, confident in their abilities. Unlike him, they face no restrictions, and what's more, they have Divine Techniques that make it easy for them to kill that peerless Great Emperor.
"Damn bastard, even if you're dead, I'll pull out your soul and torture it again!"
The man murmurs coldly and resumes regulating his breathing. If he can retrieve his doppelgänger, his power will be restored. If not, it will take him another tens of thousands of years to recover.
Tens of thousands of years, too long.
...
Night falls.
The chaos in Huaxia is quelled with the help of the Xiao Yao sect members.
The Dragon Knights refuse to surrender and are annihilated entirely. Their Flying Dragons are brought back to the sect as mounts.
As for the Dwarf Race, they wisely surrender immediately upon realizing the once prideful Giant Race is now working for others, joining the Xiao Yao sect.
The Dwarf Race is quite impressive; their exceptional construction capabilities allow them to build a hundred-story tower in a single day, making them a great addition as a construction team.
After all, the Xiao Yao sect might undergo further expansions in the future, and they can't limit themselves to the current state.
Huaxia returns to its former tranquility.
The same can't be said for Ancient Greece.
...
Ancient Greece.
Dusk sets in, with people milling about the bustling streets. Greece boasts many famous tourist spots, attracting numerous foreign visitors.
Among the crowd, many are inheritors of Divine Powers, having gained various divine abilities when the game materialized, with most gaining Poseidon's power.
Upon acquiring divine powers, they bear a significant mark — a totem!
This totem appears on various parts of their body, on the chest, thighs, buttocks, or other hidden areas, differing for each deity.
Piedon's totem, for instance, is a blue water-flow design, distinctly marking it as Poseidon's. Zeus's totem, even more obvious, is a yellow lightning bolt; each deity has a unique totem.
Moreover, more totems indicate a stronger inherited Divine Power, with one water flow, two water flows, three, until it forms a vast ocean pattern.
The stronger the divine power, the more divine skills they can master, and the greater the unleashed power!
Greeks go about their usual lives, but suddenly, a divine inheritor collapses to his knees. His eyes widen big enough to pop out, veins bulging, hands clutching his heart in immense pain.
This abrupt scene halts those around him, who watch in shock, confusion, and disbelief, not knowing what befell him.
"Why?" The man utters painfully before collapsing, blood pouring from his facial orifices, staining the ground, causing everyone present to scream in fright.
Only a few brave inheritors rush over to check on the man.
Others crowd around, recognizing the deceased as one of their own — a fellow divine inheritor, shocked by his sudden death.
"He's dead, and his divine power is gone!" the man checking the body exclaims in astonishment.
It's unprecedented. Normally, when a divine inheritor dies, their divine power doesn't dissipate. Others can absorb it to strengthen themselves.
But now, no one is around him; how could it vanish?
As the man ponders the mystery, he suddenly feels an ache in his heart, and a voice echoes in his mind.
"My people, now it's time for your ultimate sacrifice!"
