CHAPTER 772: 191, I AM GOD _2

He really didn’t understand what this mysterious person from the East Continent was thinking.

Divine beings were the highest existence detached from the mortal world. No matter how devout the belief or how compatible with Divinity, relying solely on one’s own power, one could only borrow a fraction of the Divine Power through a contract.

As for the main body?

Even the Pope of the Sun Church, who had paid a great price, could only summon a manifestation of an eye of the Sun Sovereign in the mortal world!

"Is that so?"

Lin Yue shook his head slightly and stopped talking, simply stating in a plain voice, "Priest Borros, right? I’ll give you a chance to strike, show me how much power you can borrow from the Sun Sovereign."

"What?" Borros was startled.

Anger burst forth in his heart. Although this person from the East Continent was mysterious and could hide the mark of the believers, the moves he had just displayed were nothing but a sliver of power borrowed from his faith’s Divine Being. How could he be so arrogant?

As the Priest of the Sun Church, if he was willing to pay the price, he would have enough power to annihilate thousands of soldiers all by himself!

Which unknown god of faith did this person from the East Continent believe in to dare to despise him so?

"A frog in a well."

Borros’s eyes turned icy, and he fervently and crazily called in his heart, "Great Sun Sovereign! Your devout believer here implores you to descend your will, let the world feel your wrath. I am willing to sacrifice my blood and plenty of Gold, just hoping that you will burn the sinner before me with your endless Divine Power!"

As an experienced Contractor, no special ritual was required; he could pray to the Divine Being and connect with its will at any time.

As long as he paid enough of a price, he could summon a terrifying power from the Sun Sovereign that was far beyond human imagination!

The next moment—

A tremendously vast will suddenly descended, and the Gold that Borros had prepared and marked began to melt, evaporate, and even vanish.

Simultaneously, Borros felt as if fiery flames were evaporating his blood within his body, and his vision briefly darkened, but his spiritual power was strong enough to endure it.

"Truly different," Lin Yue narrowed his eyes.

From the sheer pressure that arrived out of thin air, he could tell that this Borros was much stronger than the protector of the Gu God Sect who worshipped the Gu God.

"Boom!"

The ceiling above the New World hall suddenly shook, accompanied by a terrifying cracking sound. Cracks appeared continually on the ceiling as if it was under immense pressure, and from the cracks, fiery golden-red light emerged.

The next moment, the ceiling violently shattered, releasing a massive amount of golden-red magma from the crevices above!

In an instant, the entire hall was engulfed in intense heat, and even some of the materials with low ignition points caught fire, spreading flames everywhere. The guests panicked and scrambled to the edges of the hall, trying to evade.

"Ha ha ha..."

Borros’s face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, but he laughed heartily at Lin Yue.

"Arrogant person from the East Continent! Didn’t you want to see the power of our Sun Sovereign? This blazing magma comes from the main body of the Sun Sovereign. Prepare to endure His wrath!"

As he spoke, the massive column of golden-red magma suddenly transformed into a dragon, with flames reaching towards the sky, diving directly at Lin Yue.

Where it passed, everything was turned into a fiery inferno.

"From the main body of the Sun Sovereign?"

Lin Yue frowned as he watched the magma dragon with streams of flame flowing around it, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"No matter..."

He sighed and raised his hand, reaching casually towards the wildly hot magma dragon.

Instantly, a strand of his hair disappeared.

At the same time—

An invisible power descended; the serpentine giant dragon abruptly froze in mid-air, and the surrounding Void completely collapsed, a terrifying void storm instantly annihilated it, turning it into nothingness.

In an instant, the sea of fire in the hall extinguished.

Only the residual heat in the air could testify to its previous existence.

Everyone was stunned.

What had happened?

How could the terrifying fire dragon just disappear like that?

And Borros was completely dumbfounded.

"No... it’s not possible... this magma comes from the main body of the Sun Sovereign, it should be able to burn everything, how could it..."

He couldn’t believe what he was witnessing, muttering nervously to himself, his tone filled with absurdity and disbelief.

Summoning this magma from the Sun Monarch, he had not only sacrificed a large amount of gold but had also used a third of his own blood as the medium!

The loss was significant.

Yet, the other party had dismissed it with such ease!

The most important thing was that this man from the East Continent seemed to have paid no price at all!

This had clearly exceeded his understanding.

Borros could only keep muttering, "Impossible, impossible... This is clearly the magma from the Sun Monarch himself... How is this possible..."

"From the Sun Monarch himself?"

Lin Yue glanced at Borros with a hint of mockery and said, "That’s quite correct, but at most, it’s just a drop of sweat from the Sun Monarch... Is this the limit? Is that all you, a Priest, can do?"

Borros’s face turned ashen, his lips quivering as he trembled, "You... which Divine being do you worship?"

With the same devotion, the same spiritual power, and the same affinity with Divinity, if the Divine being itself differed in strength, the power bestowed would naturally vary.

This man from the East Continent so easily neutralized the Sun Monarch’s magma—

Either the other party’s faith, spiritual power, and Divinity match far surpassed his.

Or the Divine being he worshipped far surpassed the Sun Monarch!

"Divine being?" Lin Yue looked somewhat mocking, not answering Borros.

Because...

He didn’t worship any Divine being at all.

He merely borrowed a trace of power from his own essence, utilizing the pattern and rules of summoning.

Like other powerful beings in the Yanfu World who couldn’t manifest in the world, his essence was also hidden by the world’s rules, becoming a god-like existence that could only influence the human reality through Spiritual Will, cultivating followers.

Such as sending dreams.

This was the rule of the Yanfu World.

He had no interest in spreading faith—other Divine beings struggled to bestow power and had to do so through followers, but he only needed himself.

No matter how devout or fitting the followers were, they couldn’t possibly match his connection with his own essence.

His spiritual power was also supremely powerful.

So, why would he need to worship any Divine being?

He was his own god!

"Who exactly are you..."

Borros, pale as a ghost, stared at Lin Yue in disbelief, "To bring down such a powerful force, and you didn’t even pay a price? How is that possible?"

Summoning gods inevitably required a price, that was the rule.

It’s just that the higher the compatibility with the Divine, the lower the price paid.

"Of course there was a price."

Lin Yue sneered, slowly extending one finger; a small portion of his fingernail was missing.

—That was the price.

Then, the terrifying power descended again, and the space around Borros began to warp and collapse.

"No!"

Borros roared frantically and resentfully in his mind, "Great Sun Monarch, I’m willing to give everything, just let your Divine Power turn this sinner to ashes, I beg..."

However, just as a fierce and mystical power started to surge around him, the Void had already completely collapsed.

In an instant, Borros was obliterated, turned entirely into nothingness.

No trace of him remained.

"Sun Monarch, just an ordinary being among those Proving themselves after all..."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "Next, I must try to sacrifice enough money and Essence, otherwise, it will start consuming my own power."
