Starry Sky Professional

“Heh heh…”

Peach Red’s face suddenly flushed with two patches of rouge, thickly layered with snow-white foundation.

It was as if, in the blink of an eye, she had transformed from a living, breathing person into a paper doll.

'It seems to be an advanced application of shadow puppetry. Peach Red wasn't made into a paper doll, but her fate isn't much better.'

Seeing this, Fang Xing felt neither sorrow nor joy.

He and Peach Red were merely acquaintances; any debts between them had already been repaid.

Now, seeing Peach Red in such a state, he could only say it was her own choice.

“It’s truly hard to imagine that a small slave from Paper Slave Valley a hundred years ago would actually advance to become a Yang God True Lord, even cultivating the origami secret art to such a degree…”

From Peach Red’s face, a thin voice emerged: “It is this old ancestor’s dereliction of duty. If I had discovered your talent and beauty earlier, I would have definitely appointed you as the sect’s Holy Son, nurturing you with utmost care… How about these little gifts as a present for you?”

With a wave of her hand, a transparent sphere of light appeared in her right palm. Within the sphere, countless densely packed faces struggled and wailed…

“The successive stewards and disciples of Paper Slave Valley, except for those who died in battle, have their souls here.”

“Blood Shadow Old Ancestor… let’s not talk about these irrelevant things.”

Fang Xing waved his hand, and behind him, a terrifying dragon shadow seemed to rise, bringing with it an intense sense of dragon pressure.

“You’re not in the middle stage of Yang God, but the late stage?!

”The Blood Shadow Sect Old Ancestor’s voice became even more shrill: “How is this possible?”

“Existence is its own justification… I’ve said my stance many times already; I won’t pull chestnuts out of the fire for you.

”Fang Xing smiled: “I don’t want to hear any of your enticing offers, and if you provoke me, I’ll directly join the Life Execution Church… With my current strength, can your defenses even hold?”

When one has enough strength, they can overturn the table at will and threaten others.

Fang Xing’s words undoubtedly carried immense destructive power.

When Peach Red regained consciousness, she found that she was no longer in the Paper House Grotto-Heaven, but had returned to Azure Wood Ridge.

“The Ancestor… she?”

Peach Red looked at Fang Xing, somewhat hesitant.

“A wisp of her divine sense has already self-destructed… You now have two choices: either return to the Blood Shadow Sect to continue fighting, or stay in the Natural Sect.”

Fang Xing spoke indifferently: “This is the last chance I’m giving you, for the sake of our past acquaintance.”

Peach Red gazed at Fang Xing, unable to help but be stunned.

Had this young man, who was once whipped to the brink of death, finally grown into a major figure in the cultivation world?

It’s just a pity that she, back then, was…

…

Time flowed by swiftly, like water.

After securing a strategic position of peace and possessing the declaration right of the entire Azure Wood Ridge, Fang Xing began to plant trees with all his might.

A Legendary Druid at full power was incredibly efficient at greening the environment.

The terrifying mortality rate on the front lines had become a nightmare for all cultivators in the Extraterritorial Lands.

On the contrary, the Life Execution Church seemed to be enjoying it, even growing stronger with each battle.

After all, the deaths of both enemies and allies could bring them divine grace and advancement.

On this day.

“Calculating the days, it’s almost time for another advancement…”

“Didn’t they say that after Legendary, each level advancement would be more difficult?”

“However, I’m planting more and more trees, which has created a snowball effect… An exponential explosion, perhaps even filling the enormous experience gap?”

Fang Xing’s heart stirred, and he felt another influx of natural experience.

His whole body shook, and he looked at the attribute bar:

[You have received a Natural Baptism, Druid Level increased to 21!]

[You have gained a new talent—'Beyond Divine Sight'!]

[Beyond Divine Sight: Your fate trajectory is wrapped in a layer of fate mist. Gods can see most areas of the world, but they cannot see you.]

“This talent isn’t bad…”

Before Fang Xing could rejoice, his expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into Azure Wood Ridge, experiencing each spring, summer, autumn, and winter…

The seasons turned, and the heavens moved with constancy.

Specks of emerald light emerged from the evergreen trees, the air, the earth, and the rivers, automatically converging towards him.

The verdant light grew increasingly dazzling, eventually transforming into a teardrop-shaped emerald crystal, which fell onto his forehead.

It merged completely upon lightly touching his skin.

“This is…”

Fang Xing felt that even the essence of his life had changed, and he looked at the attribute bar:

[You have gained one point of 'Natural Divinity'!]

[Your life essence has been enhanced, advancing to 'Divine Being'. You can accept the power of faith and incense… Your lifespan has been greatly increased!]

[Detected that you possess the 'Eternal Youth' talent, your lifespan limit has been removed!]

“Divinity?”

“Indeed, as long as I persistently plant trees, I’ll have everything.”

Fang Xing’s expression was excited.

He activated a secret technique, allowing this point of Natural Divinity to enter his Yin God.

Divinity is the purest, most vast, and Yang-harmonious power.

Within Fang Xing’s Yin God, the seed of the supernatural Golden Core, which was in the late stage, emerged and combined with the emerald Natural Divinity.

In an instant, his soul was filled with the power of life, without a trace of Yin essence.

“A point of pure Yang swallowed into the belly, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens'.

“I… I have achieved Yang God.”

“Indeed, the effect of this divinity is much better than the 'Pure Yang Pill', breaking through almost effortlessly.”

Fang Xing murmured and looked at the attribute bar:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 115 / ∞]

[Class: Druid Level 21]

[Realm: Initial Stage of Yang God]

[Talents: Natural Affinity, Wilderness Transformation, Plant Growth, Toxin Immunity, Eternal Youth, Thorn術, Bark術, Natural Healing, Animate Treant, Treant Shepherd, Toughness, Combat Casting, Enlightenment術, Regeneration, Ageless Body, Natural Summoning, Advanced Natural Healing, Wrath of Nature, Immortality, Beyond Divine Sight]

[Skills: Perfect Hand (Grandmaster 800 / 800), Origami術 (Grandmaster 800 / 800), Beast Taming術 (Grandmaster 800 / 800), Qi Concealment術 (Grandmaster 800 / 800), Soul Confusion術 (Grandmaster 800 / 800)]

…

“Indeed, my strength has increased greatly!”

Fang Xing’s expression was excited: “Removing the lifespan limit represents infinite life, this is true immortality…”

“Furthermore, divinity has increased in all aspects, even my Wilderness Transformation · Flood Dragon Form, with a point of divinity, will have its strength soar.”

“Finally, I have achieved Yang God?”

“The cultivation path of the pre-ancient Daoist tradition in this world has almost been walked to the end by me…”

“Next, could it be quietly accumulating faith, divinity… and finally sprinting towards demigod?”

“After demigod, then seeking to be conferred as a god, becoming a true god, and ascending to the Heavenly Court?”

At this moment, the cultivation path of this world held no confusion for Fang Xing.

“No, this should be the power of the Druid inheritance, how could it be so easy to condense Natural Divinity if it weren't for the transcendent inheritance?”

“Even if I hadn’t obtained the talent of Beyond Divine Sight, and hadn’t happened to be in this Extraterritorial Land, perhaps the moment I obtained divinity and became a Divine Being, I would have been discovered by the gods, and then fortune and misfortune would be hard to predict…”

“Looking at it this way, my rebirth in the Extraterritorial Land was also a plan of the main body?”

Thinking of the main body, Fang Xing suddenly felt a strong sensation.

With the advancement of his soul, especially after obtaining a point of Natural Divinity, he seemed to finally sense the existence of the main body!

‘More than a hundred years have passed… I almost forgot that I am just an avatar.’

Fang Xing sighed, and the Yang God rose mightily, using divinity as a bridge to sense the main body.

…

An infinite distance above the mortal realm.

The Heavenly Court!

To call it the Heavenly Court is more like a boundless universe.

Countless divine kingdoms, like stars, or like boundless countries, formed various different planes, entrenched above the mortal realm.

Within a divine kingdom filled with the divine power of destruction.

“Astaroth…”

The earth was black and dark… and there seemed to be traces of prayer-seekers remaining.

A hoarse voice echoed within the ruined and majestic palaces.

“The undying pure white sun has fallen…”

“Welcoming the call that destroys everything…”

“Ah… Astaroth!”

“Submerge reality and illusion… Eternal Astaroth…”

“Astaroth…”

At the very center of the palace, on a mostly collapsed throne.

A short-haired youth who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of obvious confusion: “Astaroth? Who are you calling? Me?”

“Wait… I seem to have slept for a long time, or the immortal cultivation avatar has awakened me.”

Fang Xing’s main body’s expression changed, and he stretched out his hand.

A somewhat tattered black broken horn appeared in front of him.

“Xifan’s transcendent inheritance… has been digested a little, so it has begun to break down?”

“The immortal cultivation avatar has done a good job. As long as it continues to consume it, once the progress exceeds half, then it will snowball, and it will only get faster and faster.”

With the help of the Golden Finger attribute panel and the Gate of the Heavens, he could see everything of the avatar clearly.

After all, he and the avatar were the same consciousness, and they were originally indistinguishable.

Almost in the instant of waking up from sleep, he understood everything.

“I… I was originally the god of destruction and destruction—Astaroth?”

“This dead-end street pusher who was beaten into slumber by the Great Zhou God System?”

“No… no, that’s not right!”

“I am still me, but I have replaced the original 'Astaroth's' destiny with the help of the Gate of the Heavens, so in the eyes of everyone in this world, even the true gods, I am Astaroth…”

“This Astaroth is generally mixed among the gods, but he secretly hides an avatar of the 'God of Truth', which is quite smart…”

“But during a previous adventure, he encountered the God of War of the Great Zhou God System and was directly blown out of all the gods’ incarnations, and his divine power was greatly damaged…”

“Fortunately, the strength of the gods in the divine kingdom will greatly increase. Astaroth is not stupid, and the deity has not taken a step out of the divine kingdom, so he was lucky enough to save his life, but he fell into a deep sleep because of the great damage to his divine power, and then I replaced him?”
