Chapter 739: Chapter 357 Divine Character Condensation! (Two in One) _2 After handing over the Source of Life, the village chief gave Chen Mo a money bag. "What’s this?" "This is your reward. Forgive our humble village for not being able to offer much. Please accept it." Chen Mo used the Eye of Origin to sense the money in the bag. My goodness, there were 100 eternal crystal coins in the bag. Eternal crystal coins were a currency tier higher than eternal gold coins. One eternal crystal coin was worth one hundred times more than an eternal gold coin. In other words, this small bag was equivalent to ten thousand eternal gold coins. It must be said that high-end worlds are different; a casual reward here is equivalent to a fortune in low-tier worlds. Only a fool wouldn’t take free money. Chen Mo naturally accepted the money bag without hesitation. His previous eternal gold coins were almost spent, so this replenished his funds. After receiving his reward, Chen Mo bid farewell to the village chief and, with a thought, returned to the shrine of the Lord of Myriad Worlds. The man named Guldan was still cleaning the area. Surprised by Chen Mo’s quick return, he immediately closed his eyes and sensed something. He then laughed and said, "Destined One, you sure work efficiently." As he spoke, he noticed Evia standing behind Chen Mo. "The Bug Clan’s Queen! That you could even subdue such a being as a servant is truly unbelievable. It looks like a formidable existence is about to emerge among our god-tier human-like life forms. The long-maintained balance might soon be broken." The balance Guldan referred to was, naturally, the balance between human-like life forms and beast-like intelligent life forms. Chen Mo laughed and said, "The task is completed. I wonder if you’ve prepared what I need?" "There’s no need for preparation. We have an entire pool of Divine Concentration Liquid for you to use freely. Follow me." As expected of an entity that established a shrine in the world of god-tier beings. The materials others need to ascend to godhood are provided so casually. Chen Mo followed Guldan deeper into the shrine. Before long, they arrived at a pool radiating potent energy. "This pool contains Divine Concentration Liquid. You merely need to soak in it to begin your god-tier upgrade." "Does forming a divine character require 1,000 Divine Power? I had 1,000 before, but I used 100, so now I don’t have the full amount." "As long as you’ve triggered the quest to form a divine character, you can continue to ascend to god-tier even if your Divine Power has decreased. However, at this point, you’ll need to use your hidden divine power to cover the deficit. For every 1 point of Divine Power you’re short, you’ll need to substitute it with 10 points of hidden divine power." "If you’re willing, you can use this substitution method to advance to god-tier." Chen Mo checked his hidden divine power. Although hidden divine power wasn’t as effective as actual Divine Power, having some was better than none. A 10-to-1 exchange rate for the loss seemed a bit steep. He decided to first try replenishing his Divine Power through other means and only consider using hidden divine power if absolutely necessary. He still hadn’t used the leaderboard reward he’d received earlier. Now was the time. The Ability Converter allowed Chen Mo to convert all abilities into Divine Power. Chen Mo didn’t currently have any lost abilities, but he could replicate synthesizable ones. An SSS-level ability was equivalent to 1 point of Divine Power. Before replicating synthesized items, Chen Mo first took out the two Eternal Divine Objects he had acquired from the previous two quests. In the first village, Chen Mo had acquired a Toxic Mist Pearl. In the second, he had obtained a Boundary Sealing God Stone. If Above SSS-level items are worth 10 Divine Power, I wonder what the value of these Eternal series items, which are outside the normal system, would be. Chen Mo immediately tried using the Ability Converter for conversion. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are attempting to convert an Eternal Divine Object acquired from the First Region of the World of Heavenly Element. The conversion value for an Eternal Divine Object obtained from this region is 10 Divine Power. Do you wish to proceed with the conversion and absorption?] Oh? It seems the value of Eternal series items is determined by the region in the World of Heavenly Element where they’re acquired. Those from the First Region have a relatively low value, but it’s still comparable to Above SSS-level items. Not bad. These two items weren’t of great use to Chen Mo, so he decided to absorb them directly. Instantly, the two Eternal Divine Objects transformed into orbs of light and flowed into his body. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Absorption successful. You have gained 20 Divine Power.] As The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded, Chen Mo felt a comforting warmth spread through his body; the two new streams of warmth were then completely digested. This Divine Power is increasing fairly quickly. After absorbing these two Eternal Divine Objects, Chen Mo remembered the Wisteria Flower BUFF still active on him. Logically, this should also count as one of his abilities; he wondered if it could be absorbed. He immediately tried to activate the Ability Converter. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are attempting to convert a non-permanent ability obtained from the First Region of the World of Heavenly Element. The conversion value for a non-permanent ability obtained in this region is 1 Divine Power. Do you wish to absorb it?] Just 1 point? After a moment’s consideration, Chen Mo decided to absorb it. Every little bit helps. After absorbing all these, Chen Mo’s Divine Power still hadn’t reached 1,000. He began trying to synthesize items. He reviewed the list of items he had synthesized before; most were SSS-level. Four SSS-level skills and two SSS-level pieces of equipment. Altogether, these would only yield 6 Divine Power. After absorbing everything, Chen Mo’s Divine Power was only 937, still 63 short of the full 1,000. "It seems you’re still lacking some Divine Power. How about it? Would you consider believing in our Lord of Myriad Worlds? With your aptitude, I believe that even if you asked the Lord of Myriad Worlds to directly grant you some Divine Power, the Supreme One would consent. He greatly appreciates talented individuals with boundless potential like yourself." Seeing that Chen Mo’s Divine Power still hadn’t reached 1,000, Guldan immediately began his pitch. Chen Mo responded with a smile, "No need. I still have hidden divine power I can use." Just as Chen Mo decided to use his hidden divine power, the sound of the great path and The Heavenly Path’s announcement suddenly occurred simultaneously. It turned out that the conflict in another region’s star system had just concluded. This star system was the Heavenly Water System, which had previously requested a slot from the Solar System. Their opponents had been the Purple Sun System. They were defeated. The majority of high-Divine Power experts in their star system had already used Stars Citizenship Conversion Cards to transfer their citizenship to the Solar System. With the Heavenly Water System’s defeat, the strength of the regional barrier instantly plummeted by more than a hundredfold. At this rate, it would be breached within a day at most. With the Heavenly Water System’s defeat, the Second Region is about to get lively. This might be a good opportunity to gain some Divine Power. My God-Devouring Pearl has been itching for a chance to be used. Chen Mo had another method to replenish Divine Power: relying on the God-Devouring Pearl’s effect to kill other Divine Power wielders and absorb their Divine Power. However, Chen Mo didn’t plan to wait. Using his hidden divine power directly was fine too. After all, the effect of his Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaotic Primordial Pearl, had little to do with hidden divine power. When facing someone with higher Divine Power, he could directly activate the Chaotic Primordial Pearl, making hidden divine power largely unnecessary. Losing some wouldn’t matter. He was currently short 63 Divine Power, requiring 630 hidden divine power to cover the deficit. With a thought, Chen Mo immersed himself in the Divine Concentration Liquid. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Detected that you are immersed in Divine Concentration Liquid. You have gained the opportunity to condense a divine character. Do you wish to proceed with divine character condensation?] When Chen Mo selected ’Yes,’ The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded again. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Detected your current basic divine power is 937, which is below the required 1,000. You will need to expend 630 hidden divine power to supplement the missing Divine Power. Confirm?] As Chen Mo confirmed once more, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded a final time. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Verification complete. Commencing divine character condensation. During this process, do not move unnecessarily. You will be under the protection of The Great Path’s power, rendering you immune to all damage; there is no need to worry about external interference or harm. However, any reckless movement on your part will still interrupt the divine character condensation. Please be especially careful!]
