Rehe Heavy Industry.
The area of their core city is not large.
The streets are shrouded in misty rain.
Drip, drop!
Rainwater falls on the splendid buildings, everywhere is shimmering with golden medicinal rainwater.
Rain drifts over the entire city.
It's truly like a human paradise.
Rehe Heavy Industry discharges the waste gas from producing medicines into Rehe City for a group of students to cultivate, and the medicine produced naturally vaporizes at their headquarters and turns into rainwater.
Absorbing the rainwater here speeds up cultivation immensely!
Rehe River.
Here is truly a divine water river, living up to its name.
At this moment, Rehe Heavy Industry is packed with people, who have come to attend an unprecedented gathering.
And the protagonist of the gathering is Hot Catfish.
Standing at the center of the stage, Hot Catfish, dressed in a tailored suit, appearing elegant and handsome, shows a look of remorse towards his companions below:
"I'm very sorry, everyone. To avoid being discovered by other Top Ten Companies as an electric host and having our Rehe Heavy Industry's Divine Object taken away, I hid my identity from you all."
"Now, I am willing to hand over this electric Divine Object to the company, to show my loyalty!"
Many below felt a twinge of dissatisfaction upon hearing Hot Catfish's speech.
How could they not know, that Hot Catfish saw even the Sect Master of the Cat Torture Cult die.
At that moment, he was greatly shocked, knowing he was next on the list.
Unable to hide anymore, he hurriedly handed over the Divine Object, seeking the company's protection.
It's quite wasteful to say the least.
Two Divine Object hosts, across the spiritual realm, conspired together to deprive a local of his two sources of essence and spirit.
Yet it still came to this.
One of them has already been killed, and now the other is hastily seeking protection...
This Hot Catfish was considered a formidable figure among the younger generation, yet after all the scheming, he still got himself involved.
'Such a person is truly cowardly, can't handle a bit of setback, but that being said, our Rehe Heavy Industry still obtained the Divine Object.'
The crowd continued to ponder.
They were also curious, wondering if that praying Divine Diety would dare to come.
The Top Ten Companies are not like those rats hiding in the shadows, they hold the world's resources, becoming stronger like a snowball, collecting talents from all over for their use.
The spiritual realm is their creation, nurturing infants within.
And now it's like their AI virtual characters, suddenly gaining intelligence, awakening a soul, coming out to fight them?
This is certainly not those clichéd, outdated sci-fi plots, where AI awakens and beats humans, it's basically impossible.
Just then.
A streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky.
"So you are Hot Catfish?"
The rumbling voice rolled and entered everyone's mind with terrifying immortal consciousness, making everyone in the hall look up.
"What's happening?" said a Fourth Tier Innate Saint.
"It's here, the Praying Divine Diety." Someone spoke with a bizarre expression, seemingly waiting for the drama to unfold.
As the atmosphere remained tense, the voice of the Praying Divine Diety also echoed: "I trust you all are prepared."
"I don't want to hear you teaching me now."
Without any words.
Giving no one a chance to react, a vast immortal power enveloped the Praying Divine Diety's fist, fiercely striking towards Hot Catfish.
"Go to hell!" The Praying Divine Diety's aura exploded.
"No need to take action, everyone, it's just a small matter." Hot Catfish looked at the descending attack from the sky, hearing everyone's ridicule, disdain...
Yet how could these guys know his true intentions?
He's not cowardly.
Nor does he think he can't beat this Praying Divine Diety.
Although he does not enter the spiritual realm, after obtaining the Divine Object, his Fourth Tier Peak self finally stepped into the early Fifth Tier.
He thinks, since everyone is just entering the Fifth Tier, he won't be weaker than the other.
But what he worries about is, if the Praying Divine Diety comes for him, even if he wins, it will expose the fact that he secretly stored the Divine Object.
At that time, he would be liquidated by the company.
Better to expose himself now, pledge allegiance to the company, and set an example.
Voluntarily confessing guilt and being exposed for the crime are two different situations.
So, he held the meeting now, confessed, and announced he had the Divine Object.
Hot Catfish looked towards this Praying Divine Diety, extremely displeased by his arrogance, he thought to himself:
"My ambition lies in overthrowing the company and taking its place, how could a spiritual native like you comprehend that?"
"You shouldn't have, by any means, disrupted my plan, forced me to expose myself to the company, handed over the Divine Object, and left me with no chance to escape from their control."
"Alright, then use your life to wash away this humiliation now."
With that, electric signals throughout his body began to steam and overclock.
How fast is human consciousness?
Transmitting via electric signals, theoretically as fast as electricity, but in reality, it can never reach that speed because humans are not made of pure electricity.
But now that he had acquired the Divine Object, controlling the electric field around him, layers of air waves surrounded him.
Amidst the crackling sounds, as if the Thunder God descended, countless magnetic fields were pushed by him, and amidst the dazzling golden light, Hot Catfish finally spoke:
"Do you think you're the only one who forged an Immortal Body and a sincere heart?"
"Do you think you're the only smart one collecting the divine power of essence, energy, and spirit?"
"Alright, let me teach you a lesson."
As soon as this was said, countless streams of information surged around Hot Catfish's body, and he donned the Fifth Tier Saint Mecha he had prepared since his Fourth Tier days, within which a heart was long ready, illuminating the Sacred Body.
Rumble!
Hot Catfish's body, now surrounded by essence, energy, and spirit, truly was an Immortal Body!
"Indeed, you have some capability, you also have an Immortal Body! Have you walked my path?"
The Witch Priest showed a trace of excitement, "That Cat Torturing Sect you all ruined, scholars who lost their spirit are just useless!"
"But you're different, your spirit is full, you're indeed a real character!"
Hot Catfish smiled, he was the young generation's Rehe Sword Immortal, "Off to the heavens with you."
Since he was exposed, he needed to prove his worth to the company.
Boom!
Two strands of immortal energy soared, reaching into the clouds.
Hot Carp, who had always been in a rivalry with Hot Catfish, looked up in astonishment: "As expected of him, he secretly endured and became the second Immortal!"
Not knowing when, Hot Carp also came out to join the excitement: "What a tactic! Even without entering the spiritual realm, he managed to steal the majority of the era's wisdom opened up by the Witch Priest inside!"
The audience, who had been mocking and disdainful at the banquet, initially thought to suppress Hot Catfish.
Mocking him as a cowardly Sect Master like the Cat Torturing Sect, now they were all silent, not daring to make a sound, afraid of startling the divine human immortal with electric aura and thunder in hand in the sky.
"It's over."
Young genius Saints from different factions chuckled wryly and slowly closed their eyes: "This time, once he defeats this native, he would instead solidify his reputation and would definitely settle accounts with him, Hot Catfish."
Some expressed regret: "Forget it, forget it, it's not worth fighting him for the next generation's control of Rehe Heavy Industry, let him have it."
Followers of the already despairing Hot Catfish faction were overjoyed at this moment: "I knew it! Hot Catfish is our side's number one today! In front of such divine beings, you couldn't compare before, and you won't stand a chance later!"
Outside of the Hot Catfish faction, countless other factions within Rehe Heavy Industry were utterly shocked and despondent.
The opponent had merged essence, energy, and spirit to become the second Immortal!
In the shadows.
Xu Changsheng's gaze revealed a murderous intent: "His Sacred Body and the heart it ignited, it surely bears the aura of my parents."
At this moment, he finally found the true culprit.
Many Fourth Tier Innate Saints would prepare a Fifth Tier Sacred Body Mecha in advance. They needed intense emotions to ignite the heart's core.
Therefore, they went incognito among the people, crafting narratives, to temporarily deceive them for a genuine heart.
And this Hot Catfish, had come to his house years ago!
"They're indeed fighting."
"Evenly matched."
The crowd's gaze was intense, beginning to witness this battle.
This was a great opportunity after a divine catastrophe, allowing them a glimpse into the future era.
The two Immortals were focused differently.
The Witch Priest, essence, energy, and spirit, with essence as the priority.
Hot Catfish, essence, energy, and spirit, with energy as the priority.
Although the Witch Priest seemed to have two Divine Objects, it actually wasn't an advantage.
Firstly, the Divine Object was newly acquired and not fully mastered.
Secondly, Ying Qing's combat methods were overly crude, akin to a freelancer, no match for a well-rooted orthodox powerhouse.
Rumble!
Neither side uttered a word as they fought fiercely all the way.
The battle shook the heavens and earth, even the clouds were covered in dark, slick oil, with thunderous clouds stirring and spirit power surging.
Moreover, the more Hot Catfish fought, the braver he became, seemingly about to seize the opponent's Divine Object, "The Divine Object you obtained from Tu Shizong is just a wedding dress for me."
With that, the Witch Priest's Divine Object slowly fell into his hand.
However, in the next moment, with a palm strike, the Witch Priest's Divine Object was kicked away like a football, returning to Ying Qing's hand.
"Want to snatch it? Then try again!"
Ying Qing laughed heartily, "Come on then, let me see what you've got."
Witnessing this scene, Hot Carp shouted, more joyful than angry: "Good! Good! There are only a handful who can spar with me, finally, there's someone who can fight."
He was not like the old worthless Sect Masters, he was young and full of ambition!
"Let me show you my true strength."
Hot Catfish kept churning the magnetic fields, the azure electric arcs becoming more and more concentrated, finally turning a blazing white, completely enveloping the sky.
