147: Chapter 147 Near God

The protagonist's current general appearance, drawn by my cousin; please do not mistake it for the author's actual skill level.

"My Lord, these are your spoils of war."

Ishtaro handed a cluster of light radiating a faint divinity to Lin Sheng; it was the remains of the demigod who had just died.

Lin Sheng drew the cluster of divinity toward himself.

Subsequently, using this divinity and Ishtaro as mediums, he activated "Omniscience."

The "golden immortal dao fruit" faintly manifested behind Lin Sheng's head, assisting him in peering into the secrets buried within the cosmic rules.

Countless pieces of information regarding this universe surfaced in Lin Sheng's mind, and he gained a certain understanding of the basic conditions of this universe.

This universe was a portion carved out from a certain Great Universe, and it possessed some of the Great Universe's characteristics.

For instance, the characteristic of being "infinitely large."

A true Great Universe is like infinite energy; even if divided into countless parts, the space of each part remains infinitely large.

Moreover, the strength of this universe's cosmic membrane was significantly stronger than that of ordinary cosmic membranes; while it could not withstand a "Truth" strike, it could withstand strong conceptual strikes.

This universe was unlike the Great Universe Lin Sheng had previously stayed in, which had a total of over a dozen dimensions.

According to Lin Sheng's understanding, this universe had only three "dimensions."

They were the "Outer Universe" where Lin Sheng currently was, the "Subspace," and the "Deep Realm."

Subspace was hidden beneath the Outer Universe; it was the place where Evil Gods concealed themselves.

Because the "distance" between Subspace and the Outer Universe was very close, the power of Evil Gods could easily penetrate Subspace to contaminate the Outer Universe.

Furthermore, the rules of the Outer Universe were very suitable for the transmission of chaotic information; back and forth, the Outer Universe had directly become a breeding ground for chaos.

Sober sanity could only struggle to survive in the Outer Universe, seeking the protection of some Righteous God.

Although Righteous Gods would protect sentient beings with sanity, living in such a universe, even they found it difficult to protect themselves.

Because of this, the place where Righteous Gods resided was a deeper space, a place known as the "Deep Realm."

It was difficult for chaotic Evil Gods to reach there, while Righteous Gods could rely on their sober consciousness to project their power into the Outer Universe to protect those sentient beings with clear minds.

As the birthplace of mortal creatures, the Outer Universe also possessed some unique characteristics.

Whether it was a Righteous God or an Evil God, after entering the Outer Universe, their power would be significantly reduced.

But regardless, the rules of the Outer Universe favored Evil Gods.

For this reason, when both were in the Outer Universe, Evil Gods held a greater advantage over Righteous Gods.

After understanding the basic situation of this universe, Lin Sheng began to plan his future intentions.

Compared to the deities of this universe, Lin Sheng had a natural advantage.

That was, he was not affected by the rules of the Outer Universe.

In the Outer Universe, he could exert his full combat power.

With Lin Sheng's current strength, even without fully integrating the golden immortal dao fruit, he still possessed "Righteous God/Whisperer" level combat power according to the system's "Special State" judgment.

This was even setting aside Lin Sheng's talents and relying solely on his current cultivation realm.

If talents were included, the "Divinity" talent alone would allow Lin Sheng to be called a "Main God" level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng gained a certain direction for his future planning.

There was no need to keep a low profile; he could simply expand wantonly.

In any case, the main theme of this universe was "chaotic and disordered"; the sober deities were already too busy looking after themselves, let alone coming one day to purge Lin Sheng, an Evil God active in the Outer Universe.

That was almost impossible.

Furthermore, even if a Righteous God was truly bold enough to come to the Outer Universe to find trouble with Lin Sheng, he was not afraid.

Because once a Righteous God descended into the Outer Universe, those Evil Gods hidden in Subspace would be unable to restrain themselves.

They were more eager than Lin Sheng to stretch their Tentacles toward those sober Righteous Gods.

...

"Ishtaro."

Lin Sheng whispered; his whisper seemed to possess a certain magic, and as the name "Ishtaro" was uttered, the other's body underwent some eerie changes at that moment.

Noticing the changes in himself, Ishtaro prostrated himself deeply on the ground, awaiting Lin Sheng's oracle.

Lin Sheng whispered strange words; at the same time, he released his "Divinity's" suppression of "chaotic information."

Once the restrictions were released, the "chaotic information" manifested on Lin Sheng's body, which had been suppressed by his "Divinity," began to spread vengefully at this moment.

The terror of a "rule-grade" talent was fully displayed at this moment.

Without any constraints, the chaotic information carried on Lin Sheng's body spread instantly.

The starry sky around his body began to twist; something in the shadows seemed to want to crawl out from this distorted starry sky, but hindered by Lin Sheng's presence, these twisted things ultimately lacked the courage to reveal themselves.

The chaotic information carried by Lin Sheng was both a disaster and an opportunity for the beings in the surrounding star sector.

"Raff Ishtaro."

"Raff Ishtaro."

Lin Sheng murmured.

When he recited this name, the language he used was Chinese.

Therefore, even though Ishtaro tried his best to read and understand the Lord's oracle, he remained unable to comprehend its true meaning.

However, Ishtaro could feel that with the Lord's murmuring, the connection between himself and the Lord was slowly strengthening.

Not only that, in this process, his own physical body also began to move toward an even more chaotic and disordered state.

As the critical threshold arrived, Lin Sheng abruptly stopped his chanting.

Ishtaro suddenly felt a wave of relief, as if something that had been weighing on his body for a long time had suddenly vanished.

But this feeling of relief lasted for less than a second.

In the next moment, Ishtaro suddenly felt a suppression coming from the cosmic rules.

Under this suppression, although Ishtaro's strength was now countless times stronger than when he was a demigod, he suddenly felt a strong urge to leave this Outer Universe and head to a deeper space.

"Near-God!"

Ishtaro realized that amidst the Lord's ravings, he had become a god.

At this moment, Ishtaro was absolutely convinced of Lin Sheng's identity as an "Old One."

With just a few ravings, he could make a demigod like himself directly become a god without even realizing it.

One might ask, besides powerful Old Ones and existences above Old Ones, what other deity could achieve this?

A Whisperer?

An Strange Gods?

Impossible!

While Whisperers and Strange Godss were also deities, they were merely deities on the same level as a Near-God.
