  “You’re really going?” the minor god asked as he looked at Chen Feng.

  “Yes,” Chen Feng answered without the slightest hesitation. He had to figure out for himself what exactly this so-called godhood ascension was. One could say that, for the resonance and apostle realms, the difference was the level of the godly power they could muster. Chen Feng was currently stuck and was not capable of advancing further. As such, he had to figure out what godhood meant.

  After godhood, how would one’s strength continue to increase? And what exactly was it that determined whether one was a god or not? He had to figure that out.

  The minor god spoke honestly. “In this battle, you might be nothing but cannon fodder.”


  Chen Feng shook his head. “Nevertheless, I still have to try, right?” Suddenly, he recalled something and asked, “How did you ascend to godhood?”


  “Me?” The minor god stayed silent for a long time before saying, “I can’t remember. It feels like…… since the day my thoughts come into existence, I have been a god.”


  Chen Feng: “.……”


  It was no wonder this god was this weak.

  Chen Feng instinctively asked, “What is the difference between a god and a normal life-form?” If he could find an answer from this minor god, he would perhaps have more confidence.

  The minor god shook his head. “I don’t know. Among the millions upon millions of life-forms, their energy makeup and flesh are different. I don’t have any understanding of that, and I have no basis from which to draw a conclusion. As for you……”


  The minor god reached out with his hand, trying to cast his senses into Chen Feng’s sea of consciousness. Unsurprisingly, he was unable to sense anything.

  The minor god shrugged. “I still can’t sense anything.”


  “Fine.” Chen Feng could only smile bitterly at this. He did not know if having this fake nascent soul good or bad. This nascent soul had provided him with might far surpassing his imagination, enabling him to challenge those of a higher realm. However, at the same time, the nascent soul had also severed his route of advancement. He could no longer become an apostle, become stronger. Perhaps…… only godhood ascension would change this.

  The minor god paused. “Wait. I have some resources here. They were offerings from my past believers. I initially planned to use them on my apostle to increase his strength. Perhaps these resources can be of use to you.”


  Chen Feng’s eyes shone. “Oh?”


  The minor god handed the resources to Chen Feng.

  The resources were comprised of numerous bizarre yet powerful fruits, medicinal herbs, and so on. After studying them for a bit, Chen Feng turned all of them into gene reagents. However, even though these items could be used by apostles, even after Chen Feng’s gene production, the improvement they provided him was rather feeble. From level 10 resonance, he rose to level 12 resonance. With so many gene reagents, he had only obtained two levels.

  “How pitiful.”


  Chen Feng was disappointed. He knew that his advancement would be harder and harder. However, one piece of good news for him was thus: as his miniature person had entered the great-circle stage, even though it was no longer capable of improving, the amplification effect it brought now was the cube of whatever level he was at. For instance, his present amplification effect was 12 times 12 times 12.

  “Therefore, after converting from resonance to apostle, I am roughly equivalent to a level 17 apostle?”


  Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. He wasn’t particularly powerful. However, every single bit of growth, however weak it was, would have a qualitative change after the amplification effect. As such, each level he gained brought about a rather astonishing effect. If he could advance by maybe a level or two…… Chen Feng’s heart trembled at the thought.

  Naturally, the gene reagents he had produced had not purely consisted of strength-increasing reagents. Half of them were actually reagents with various buffing or explosive effects. This was a battle he had to emerge victorious from……

  While all this was happening, all the apostles that were planning to participate in the trial were making their respective preparations. Naturally, not a single one of them saw Chen Feng as an opponent. Rather, their sights were set on those comparatively powerful apostles, those gods’ descendants. In all the past trials, the trials itself were the hardest part. This time, though, the trial would be the easiest; their competitors would be the actual problem.

  “A trial activated by resonance will most definitely not be hard. Therefore, the difficulty of the trial itself can be neglected.”


  “Even though Chen Feng’s feat of challenging apostles as a resonator is rather astonishing, he is only capable of unleashing combat power equivalent to a level 10 apostle. He is negligible. Therefore, our opponents will be the other participants! Their strength…… will most definitely not be simple……”


  “Understood.”


  “Take this with you.”


  “Ah? There is no need, right? This is but a single battle……”


  “This time, you must ascend. I have a bad premonition, as if something is about to happen sometime soon. Therefore, before then, you must ascend as soon as possible.”


  “All right.”
……

  All the participants were preparing themselves. After seven days, countless apostles descended upon the Bamboo Isles. Zero also appeared out of thin air. Before the shocked gaze of numerous beings, he used a single hand to rip the sky apart, forcefully ripping half of the world and revealing an astonishing alien world behind the sky.

  “This time, this is where the trial will be held.”


  Shua!

  The sky was ripped apart. Within the alien world that was revealed, a divine seat was faintly discernible. It flickered with a faint glow, showing clearly the tier of the seat being offered.

  “Indeed, it is the lowest tier.”


  Almost immediately, countless apostles charged forth. They were all filled with excitement and expectation. They could not wait to immediately take on the trial. With Chen Feng’s identity as a resonator, this trial activated for his sake would most definitely be the lowest rank of all. However, this would also be the easiest trial ever.

  What were the so-called godhood trials? They were, in fact, challenges toward the origin strength of the god who had previously occupied the position. If it was a high tiered seat, the trial would employ around 20% of the original god’s strength. For apostles, this was extremely terrifying, an almost insurmountable trial. If it was a mid-tier seat, perhaps only around 10% of the original god’s strength would be employed. As for a low-tier seat, perhaps only around 5% of the original god’s strength would be employed. As for this seat before them, this was the lowest of the low, employing only around 1% of the original god’s strength.

  In other words, the mirror image of the god they had to face in this trial would possess only 1% of the original god’s strength, an unspeakably weak amount. Therefore, nearly anyone could succeed in this trial. As such, they had to move as quickly as possible. As for their opponents, those would be the competitors around them, who were all aiming for the godhood.

  Bang! Bang!

  Immediately after entering the alien world, the battle erupted.

  The apostles started fighting each other, not allowing anyone to get ahead of them. They exhausted everything they had to stop others from advancing while they themselves advanced. From the start, the battle was an extremely bitter one. Not far away, at the entrance of the alien world, Chen Feng was staring ahead blankly, not entering.

  The observers started talking about him.

  “What’s wrong with him?”


  “No idea. I suppose he is shocked at what he’s witnessing?”


  “Well, that is understandable. After all, he probably never imagined that godhood trials would be so cruel, right?”


  “Sigh, what a pity.”


  “That’s not necessarily a pity. If he gives up on this, he might be able to preserve his life.”


  “True.”


  There was still some attention being focused on this unique trial-taker. However, unknown to all of them, Chen Feng was truly staring blankly because he was overly shocked. However, he was not shocked by the apostles. Rather, he was shocked by the alien world. Wasn’t this world the Twin Horns World, where the Sin God had previously resided?

  In short…… the so-called divine seat…… Chen Feng’s gaze landed on the center of the alien world, landing on that faintly glowing divine seat. His heart chilled. If his guess was correct, this seat…… was the seat for the position of the Sin God! That was because, from his memories, there was only one god in the Twin Horns World.

  Wait, no. That did not seem quite right. Chen Feng was filled with doubt. A godhood trial should obviously be a trial for the godhood of a deceased god. Why would the divine seat of the Sin God be offered here? After all, he was the strongest god of this new era.

  “What exactly have I misunderstood?”
