60: Chapter 60 Death Knell Activated

"Level increased. Current level: 112."

Accompanied by a pleasant notification sound, Chen Mo, who had been in secluded cultivation in his divine domain, finally leveled up again.

Three days had passed since the Monthly Exam. During these three days, he had done nothing but cultivate.

He had to admit that the Plane Power produced by a Rank 4 divine domain was quite luxurious, at least for a Second Transition like him.

"In my past Life, even those major guilds where hundreds of people supported one professional player couldn't reach this speed of improvement."

Looking at the character panel, Chen Mo smiled faintly. Besides his own level, the growth rate of his followers and the efficiency of his law comprehension far exceeded normal levels.

Especially law comprehension; almost every law had increased by more than 0.1, giving him a new understanding of his own 'talent'.

"Compared to the more complete law system of the Main World, although the comprehension efficiency in the Void Realm is slightly worse, the advantage of the time flow is just too obvious."

Chen Mo sighed sincerely, and his figure vanished from the divine domain in an instant.

In the real world, inside the quiet room, the gate of the divine domain slowly opened, and Chen Mo stepped out.

His eyes swept across the room, and with a single glance, he saw the virtual smartwatch glowing faintly on the floor.

"Hello, Sister Wei." Chen Mo picked up the watch and, after seeing the name on the missed call, immediately returned the call to Xie Wei.

"It's arrived, right? Okay, just have someone give the box to the old gentleman at the gate."

"Actually, never mind. I've been quite busy lately, and besides, how could I let you treat me? Some other day, I'll visit you personally some other day, and we'll drink until we drop."

After saying that, Chen Mo hung up the phone with a chuckle.

"Heh, women. Still lusting after my body, are we?"

Three minutes later, in front of the main gate of the Chen Clan Estate.

"Little Mo is here. Here, your stuff."

As a deity family, even if they were just a newly risen one, the Chen Clan still had to maintain appearances.

Not only was the clan estate's main gate built grandly, but the gatekeeper was also a Rank 7 Martial Demigod.

This person was not a member of the Chen family but an extraordinary deity who had followed Chen Bailou in his early years.

It was said that at his peak, he was also a Rank 9 demigod, but now that his lifespan was nearing its end, his body could no longer sustain that realm, so he had dropped back to the Rank 7 level.

This was a common ailment for all Martial Demigods; if they couldn't ascend to become True Gods, their later years were generally quite miserable.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

Chen Mo and many of the Chen family's younger generation were quite respectful towards the old man.

If for nothing else, the fact that he had fought side-by-side with Chen Bailou in their early years made him worthy of their respect.

"You brat, why are you being so polite with me? Go on back, I need to nap for a bit!"

Saying this, the man returned to his small cabin and lay down on a lounge chair by the door, yawning leisurely.

Chen Mo smiled and walked toward his home carrying the box.

In fact, in his view, this old man's situation wasn't an exception.

Any slightly larger deity family would cultivate 'household retainers.' For example, Old Man Zhang's son and grandson were currently employed in the Chen family's merchant fleet, and it would likely remain so in the future.

In another thousand or two years, the Chen family would not only have a flourishing lineage of its own, but the number of similar 'followers' would also increase until they became a true behemoth.

...

"500 blood beast cards, 74 Spirit Machine cards, and..."

Returning to his residence, Chen Mo opened the box. He ignored the thick stack of cards and instead took out a reagent glowing with a faint golden light as if it were a precious treasure.

Once one had money, it naturally had to be spent.

Possessing a huge sum of nearly 20 million, he had sent a message to Xie Wei two days ago, placing this massive order worth 17.3 million.

Of that, 13.9 million was to pay for the blood beast cards and Spirit Machine cards.

The remaining 3.4 million was the price of this single reagent.

The question was, what kind of thing could be worth 3.4 million?

Simple: spirituality—the spirituality of an alien demigod.

"Don't be impatient; it will be yours soon."

Holding the reagent, Chen Mo suddenly spoke. The next second, a magic-inscribed pistol shining with a faint red light appeared in his hand.

'Death Toll'!

Actually, compared to this name, players in his past Life preferred to call it 'kanes revenge'.

"Sorry, I can't find any living Kael Race members for the time being."

Chen Mo gently brushed the barrel of Death Toll, feeling the almost naked and extreme anger and hatred within it.

Cain Civilization.

A high-level civilization whose foundation was magical creations.

The time of its demise was roughly in the Third Era of the Federation Calendar, and the one that caused the civilization's downfall was none other than the now-renowned Kael Civilization.

This was also a high-level civilization, but Chen Mo, who had read that post on the forum in his past Life, knew very well.

More than three eras ago, the Kael were not even a civilization, let alone a high-level one. At most, they were just man-made slaves shaped by the Cain Civilization using magic.

"Betraying their own creator and turning to the Abyss in exchange for freedom. Tsk tsk, a cliché but real drama."

Chen Mo lamented secretly in his heart.

But to be honest, he didn't feel the Kael Civilization had done anything wrong.

Exchanging faith for freedom and letting the shadow of the Abyss shroud the 'former master' who had enslaved them for several eras.

For the Kael Race itself, this wasn't a mistake but self-redemption.

"It is yours."

Chen Mo slowly loosened his grip, but neither the test tube containing the demigod's spirituality nor Death Toll fell. Instead, they were drawn together by a mysterious and profound force.

*Crack!*

The reagent shattered, and a pale golden phantom immediately emerged.

As mentioned before, spirituality was actually purified soul, a necessary item for making Spirit Machines.

Chen Mo, who couldn't go to the Outer Realms, couldn't find a living Kael person, but he had managed to buy this portion of Kael demigod spirituality through Xie Wei.

"Hate, I hate!"

A hoarse voice filled with confusion rang out. Chen Mo couldn't understand this alien language, but he could feel the hatred within it, as vast as a sea of blood.

That was the hatred of billions upon billions of Cain people!

The next second.

A bloody shadow abruptly appeared next to the spirituality.

Entwining, swallowing—in the blink of an eye, the golden spirituality was completely crushed by it, and then they dissipated together.

Chen Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because even he, standing so close, hadn't seen how the bloody shadow appeared or how it vanished.

"They say divine relicss are creations that even Supreme Beings cannot understand. I didn't believe it before, but now..."

Chen Mo's eyes were filled with shock, but it was quickly replaced by joy.

"Please note: the divine relics 'Death Toll' has been activated. Current progress, Phase One: 0.93%!"
