640: Ancient temple, inheritance!

Yang Dian surveyed the land, filled with kneeling people, and ultimately decided not to hurl the explosive Qi and blood gathered in his palm towards the city.

'Forget it, there's no deep-seated enmity, just a bit of malice before they became devout.'

With this thought, Yang Dian flicked his finger, and the Qi and blood transformed into a streak of light, falling towards the military base on the Aegean Sea.

"Boom~"

A few seconds later, a fierce wind uprooted trees and rolled in with endless dust.

The High Priestess of Athena's temple prostrated herself, forehead touching the ground, bowed to Yang Dian, then stood up and roared at the kneeling believers:

"Athena defied the God King's decree, and the God King has brought divine punishment upon the mortal world!"

"Let us pray devoutly to the God King, and ask the God King to forgive us for our sin of mistakenly believing in Athena."

"But High Priestess, why is the God King an Easterner?"

The High Priestess glanced at the guard who spoke, her eyes darkening:

"The God King's identity is not for a lowly guard like you to question!"

"Guards! Strip him of his armor, and in the name of blasphemy, execute him!"

Yang Dian, who heard the High Priestess's loud shouts from above, twitched the corner of his mouth.

'What a talent~'

In his emotion, he looked towards the Aegean Sea again.

The military base by the sea had already vanished.

Yang Dian controlled his power very well.

He said he would blow up the base, and he blew up the base, without harming a single tourist playing outside the base.

As for those who were swept into the sky by the strong winds after the explosion?

That was because they were too light.

If they weighed more than three to five tons, how could they be swept away by the wind?

Yang Dian couldn't be blamed for this.

His Mental Energy penetrated through layers of dust to look at the abyss created by the Qi and blood explosion.

Approximately ten thousand meters underground, a translucent light curtain flickered into view.

"That strike just now was close to a casual blow from a Late Stage Star Dome Realm expert."

"Still unable to shake the light curtain?"

As for using Star Remains Realm power to strike Earth?

Yang Dian had considered it, but it was just a thought.

What if he blew up the Earth?

'It seems I can't test the light curtain's condition for now.'

In his thoughts, Yang Dian turned his gaze back to 'Athena'.

'This power on her.'

'It seems that others believe she should possess this power, so with the support of their beliefs, after she unleashes her full power, she possesses this power.'

'I think, therefore I am?'

'No, that's not right either.'

'They think, therefore I am?'

A bit puzzled by 'Athena's' Cultivation system, Yang Dian reached out and directly took 'Athena' and Slone, hiding them in the Subspace.

On the ground, the High Priestess of the temple saw Yang Dian disappear into the sky with Athena without a word, and a blazing fire ignited in her eyes.

It was the fire of ambition.

'If I can spread the God King's faith across the land, and have the God King sung by the world...'

Thinking of the future where she could be truly blessed by the God King, and even become a deity, the High Priestess's heart pounded uncontrollably.

"Believers, the God King has returned to the Divine Realm with the sinful god, granting power to humanity."

"And I, as the High Priestess of the temple, the God King's blessed one, shall walk among mortals on His behalf, spreading His faith!"

...Yang Dian, hidden in the Subspace, naturally noticed the commotion in the temple.

But he had no intention of interfering.

This world never lacked ambitious people, nor did it lack those who, in the name of gods, brought chaos to the world.

As long as they didn't harm the Huaxia people, he was too lazy to intervene.

He might as well use that time to carefully study the power 'Athena' and Slone wielded.

The power they possessed seemed to be the power he had been pondering all along—using Mental Energy to influence oneself.

"Snap~"

He snapped his fingers to release Athena from the ice, then conjured an ice throne behind him.

Yang Dian sat on the throne with his legs crossed, pointing at Slone and saying:

"If the information I've gathered is correct, there should be 11 more 'Saints' like those who have submitted to you, right?"

"It's just that they're not in the temple, but have been dispatched by you to other places to handle supernatural events."

The young girl was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"What do you want?"

"To threaten me with them?"

"Your scheme will not succeed."

Yang Dian tapped the armrest, somewhat bored:

"I have no scheme."

"I merely sat on the divine statue's scepter for a while, and pondered where you obtained your power from."

"Originally, I wanted to have a friendly exchange with you."

"Who knew you'd start shouting to kill me as soon as I appeared?"

After speaking, Yang Dian stopped tapping the armrest, leaned forward, and brought his face close to the young girl's:

"Now, can you tell me how you obtained 'Divine Power'?"

Seeing the young girl stubbornly turn her head away, Yang Dian followed her gaze and pointed to the devastated city after the strong winds had passed.

"Of course, you can indeed remain silent."

"But for the secret you protect, I don't mind turning all of Greece upside down, reducing the land to dust, and searching inch by inch for the secrets hidden in this land."

"As for the people living on this land..."

"That will depend on their luck."

The young girl suddenly turned her head, looking at Yang Dian in disbelief:

"How can you do that!"

"There are tens of millions of people on this land!"

At this point, she thought of something else, took a step forward, and stared into Yang Dian's eyes, saying:

"Furthermore, our Greece and your Huaxia have a comprehensive strategic partnership."

"We should be friendly and harmonious, not hostile to each other like this."

Yang Dian leaned back in the ice throne and chuckled:

"Friendly? Harmonious?"

"The essence of civilization is plunder."

"So-called friendliness and harmony are merely compromises made out of necessity when one's strength cannot completely overwhelm the other."

"Once strength is sufficient, so-called friendliness and harmony are a joke."

At this point, Yang Dian rose from the throne, walked in front of the young girl, and stared into her eyes, saying:

"I'm giving you one last chance."

"Tell me the source of your power."

"If you don't, I don't mind finding it myself."

Seeing that Yang Dian didn't seem to be joking, and indeed looked like he would turn the Greek land upside down, pulverize it, and search inch by inch for its secrets, the young girl slumped in discouragement:

"My power was obtained from an ancient temple."

Hearing the word 'ancient', Yang Dian subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

What was that thing he encountered a while ago that also had 'ancient' in its name?

Ancient Qi!

Although he didn't know if they were the same thing, Yang Dian subconsciously connected the two.

"There would be such power in a temple?"

"If such power were contained within a temple, the Vatican would have already ruled the world!"

"I'm not lying to you!" The young girl clenched her fists:

"After the light curtain rose, I heard a call from the ethereal, and it guided me to find the temple and obtain Athena's Legacy!"

"Legacy?" Various thoughts flashed through Yang Dian's mind as he surveyed his surroundings:

"Guiding to the temple's location, and elaborating on the Legacy..."
