Chapter 3033: Separation Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio That said, putting himself in Fang Heng’s shoes, even if he and Fang Heng had swapped abilities, Dean was certain he wouldn’t have had the strength, nor even the willpower, to venture into Hell and cause trouble for the demonic seed of Jealousy. Dean looked at the admiration in his eyes, gradually turning into respect. He nodded slightly and praised, "Great Sage Fang Bai has done another great service for the Holy Court and its followers. By the way, you saw those plants in the lower levels of Hell just now, didn’t you? Do you know what they are?" "Not sure, but these plants absorbed part of the demonic seed’s power during the battle, and may have undergone mutation." Fang Heng did not wish to dwell on this topic. He glanced around and said, "Great Sage Dean, now that Essekelina is dead, our mission in Hell is complete. Staying here consumes too much power. Let’s return to the Eternal City." "Alright." Dean had the same thought. Hearing Fang Heng’s suggestion, he immediately signaled for the Holy Court team to retreat. The Holy Court’s mission in Hell had ended, and everyone began their return. Fang Heng and Dean stayed near the rear of the team, cautiously guarding against any pursuers from the depths of Hell. "Fang Bai, the initial condensation of the Twelve Sages’ will was just the beginning of advancing to the Twelve Sages. To fully complete the advancement, our next step is to return to the Holy Temple in the Holy Realm." Dean assumed Fang Heng’s venture into Hell was to advance the Twelve Sages’ power, so he naturally offered some advice, reminding him softly, "I’ve read some records before. Back then, advancing to the Twelve Sages required the help of various Great Sages and even the God King. Now, the Holy Court is far weaker than before. I fear it won’t be so easy." "Also, the God King has once again entered seclusion, and we don’t know when he’ll come out." Fang Heng hadn’t really planned to rush to the Holy Realm to advance his sacred powers, but hearing Dean mention the God King made him pause and ask, "Did something happen to the God King? Why did he enter seclusion again? The Seed of Ouroboros has been eradicated—he should’ve recovered." "Well, since you haven’t returned to the Holy Realm, it’s normal you don’t know," Dean explained in a low voice, "Actually, the God King’s seclusion this time isn’t because of the Seed of Ouroboros." "Then what is it?" "Because the God-given Orb experienced an anomaly." Dean spoke while sighing inwardly again. Recently, their Holy Realm had really been down on its luck. One misfortune after another, with no sign of stopping. Only the emergence of the new Great Sage Fang Bai could be considered a piece of good news, strengthening the Holy Court’s power and hopefully turning their luck around. "The exact reason for the God-given Orb’s mutation is unclear. We suspect that during the battle with the Seed of Ouroboros, the orb’s outer protective net was damaged." "The God-given Orb losing its net for a short time wasn’t a big issue, but over time, the holy ripple energy it emitted grew stronger and stronger, gradually destabilizing the Holy Realm." "It got to the point where, without the protective net, we even had extreme difficulty moving the God-given Orb." Dean shook his head again, sighing inwardly as he explained, "The God King entered seclusion this time to absorb the excess energy released by the God-given Orb, and also to use the orb’s power to push himself through the final breakthrough." Fang Heng nodded. So essentially, it was cultivating using the God-given Orb, right? Fang Heng understood how dangerous that could be. Take the Death Realm Orb for example. After advancing to the Super-God level of necromancy, he had once tried lingering in front of the Death Realm Orb to boost his power. But it had been extremely dangerous. The cultivation speed wasn’t even that fast, and that was with the orb’s outer protective layer intact. The Holy Realm’s orb lacked that protection, so cultivating with it would be even more difficult. However... A strange thought suddenly rose in Fang Heng’s mind. The God King of the Holy Realm... What tier was his power level? God-level? Or Super-God level? Come to think of it, with the God King’s age, if he had cultivated at the God-level for tens of thousands of years, his strength might not be much weaker than Fang Heng’s newly advanced Super-God level. If the two of them really fought, who would win? "Fang Bai, what are you thinking about?" "Hmm..." Fang Heng raised his head and said, "Nothing much. I was just wondering—where did the God-given Orb come from? Maybe if we trace its origin, we could find a way to control it." "I’m not sure. The God-given Orb has always been in the Holy Realm and can only be used by the God King. It’s stored on the top floor of the attic—I suppose it’s part of the Holy Realm itself." Dean paused for a moment, then continued, "With the God King in seclusion, completing the advancement to the Twelve Sages may face some difficulties. But don’t worry—once we return to the Holy Realm, all the Great Sages will discuss together and try to find a way to help you break through. Also, even though you’ve advanced to a Great Sage, the formal ritual has not yet been completed. We can take this opportunity to conduct the ritual..." Currently, the Holy Court’s reputation among humans was declining. This victorious expedition into Hell had helped boost morale a bit. If they could also introduce a newly advanced, powerful Great Sage, it would be a great chance to restore their reputation. "No, Great Sage Dean, I have some other matters to deal with, so I won’t be returning to the Holy Court just yet." "Hmm?" Dean looked at Fang Heng with a puzzled expression. Strange—wasn’t this guy in such a hurry to come here just to advance to the Twelve Sages? Why wasn’t he in a hurry anymore? Fang Heng smiled faintly. Since returning to the Holy Court wouldn’t yield a method for advancing the Twelve Sages anytime soon, it was better to prioritize helping Cleriway, who might currently be in danger. No need to waste time. "Just some minor issues. I’ll return to the Holy Realm as soon as I’ve resolved them." "Alright then." Dean thought to himself that this newly advanced Great Sage sure had a lot on his plate. Since there was no convincing him otherwise, he simply nodded and said, "Very well, then I’ll return to the Holy Realm first and discuss with the other Great Sages to help find your path to advancement." "Thank you, Great Sage Dean." Fang Heng cupped his hands in a gesture of gratitude. Through necromancy, Fang Heng was very aware that beyond the God-level existed the Super-God level. If he successfully completed the advancement to the Twelve Sages, it should correspond to a demigod-level or God-level sacred study. If he wanted to go even further... Then perhaps... He would have to become the God King? It was certain that there was only one slot for a Super-God level. Which meant, if the current God King was already at the Super-God level, then as long as he remained in place, Fang Heng would never be able to push his sacred study to the final step.
