208: Awaken the power of the Mist! God of the Sanctuary Land!

"Hoo! That was really tiring!" Su Lie exhaled a mouthful of stale air, feeling his legs weaken slightly.

Recalling the recent experience, he couldn't help but feel a strong reaction.

"I never expected it! A mere whim allowed me to gain such power! The Moon Serpent's Yin Power completely activated my Human Emperor Bloodline, which in turn helped me awaken the Divine Thunder Slash!"

Su Lie couldn't help but murmur softly. His gaze was fixed on his personal panel.

He saw that under the Talent section of the panel, an extra Divine Ability attribute had appeared. There was only one Divine Ability listed in the attribute.

[Mist Divine Ability: Heavenly Thunder Slash]

[Heavenly Thunder Slash: Consumes a certain base amount of lightning-element crystal material to summon Heavenly Thunder Slash and kill enemies.

Note: At your current level, you can only use this Divine Ability once per day.

Note: The more crystal material consumed and the better the quality, the greater the power of the Heavenly Thunder Slash.

Note: This Divine Ability can directly harm Deities who possess divine authority.]

Just then, scenes flashed across Su Lie's eyes, and some voices echoed in his ears.

"Sister Yue Ling! What is a Mist Divine Ability?"

"Giggle! It's a Skill that allows you to mobilize the power of the mist rule to fight for you!"

"Ah! Why does it require Bloodline power to activate?"

"You are truly foolish! Under the mist rule, all living beings have a class label! This label is primarily based on Bloodline and secondarily on godhead level! The nobler the existence's Bloodline, the easier it is to awaken a Divine Ability at a low level!"

Yue Ling paused slightly here, and then softly said, "Your Human Emperor Bloodline has already undergone one refinement, and now it has been baptized by the unique Yin Power of my Moon Snake Clan. If you still couldn't awaken a Divine Ability like this, then you would truly be trash!"

... "The more crystal material consumed and the better the quality, the more powerful the mist rule power summoned to kill the enemy! Isn't this equivalent to pay-to-win?"

Su Lie's eyes flickered, and his excitement grew: "This Heavenly Thunder Slash has arrived at the perfect time. Later, I can use it to test out Vampire Grand Duke William!"

Thinking up to this point, he raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a key-shaped object.

This object resembled jade but wasn't jade, and numerous Mist Runes were carved upon it.

This was a key to unlocking the Divine Treasure of Life. In other words, the key to becoming a god—a godhead!

This was the second great gift Yue Ling had given Su Lie.

Su Lie looked at its panel.

[mist godhead: Red God-level Quality; The key to the awakening of a Mist Low-level Deity. After use, the awakener can awaken the divine authority that is adapted to them, based on the user's own strength and attributes.

Requirement: The user must be a Class Changer, not a Survivor;

Note: A Survivor who uses this godhead will certainly die.]

"It's a shame I can't use this thing!" Su Lie shook his head.

According to the Moon Serpent, Survivors can gain strength equivalent to a Low-level Deity during their second Class Change. Furthermore, their profession will change from a supporting profession to a combat profession.

When Su Lie wanted to delve deeper into understanding this, the Moon Serpent told Su Lie that the remaining secrets required items of equal value for trade.

Under the mist rule, all useful intelligence, information, and resources come at a price.

Su Lie's god-grade sorghum liquor healed Yue Ling's injuries, and the god-grade fierce beast wine helped Yue Ling resolve the issues of the curse, strength, and Deadly Poison.

It was precisely because of this that he exchanged these pieces of intelligence and the godhead from Yue Ling.

"The trade for the fierce beast wine was already a huge bargain for me. According to the rules, I could have given you more things, or I could have remained silent, since it was a transaction you agreed to and was confirmed by the mist rule!"

Su Lie still remembered Yue Ling's response to this: "This time, my trade of the godhead for your kaoliang liquor is considered an equal transaction! And our time together playing in the water was mutual pleasure for both of us!"

"My answers to your questions count as compensation for the fierce beast wine!"

"If I say any more, the mist rule will forcibly charge a fee!"

After Yue Ling responded, she said no more about it. Su Lie was sensible enough not to press further.

His thoughts returned. Looking up, he saw Su Liya, who had just returned.

He tossed the mist godhead in his hand over: "Liya! Use it!"

Clatter! Su Liya caught the mist godhead. Just as she was about to thank him, she suddenly froze: "Master! Is this real?"

Her emotions were extremely agitated, but she maintained Suppression.

She was somewhat disbelieving, and even afraid to face it.

"How could I, Su Liya, possibly deserve such immense kindness from my Master?"

A voice echoed in her heart. A part of the ancient memory originating from her own Bloodline awakened at this moment.

All of this was about the mist godhead. She instantly understood how difficult it was to obtain a mist godhead.

Some Mist Monsters plotted for a thousand years just to obtain a mist godhead and become the lowest-ranked Mist Deity.

Other Mist Monsters exhausted their wealth and endured countless hardships just to get one chance.

Yet she... had merely served Su Lie by his side.

She hadn't done any strenuous work or performed any great service for Su Lie.

To obtain this kind of power so easily made her emotions incredibly complex and excited.

Ribbit! Just then, the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad leaped out of the fireplace. It hopped next to Su Lie, staring with its massive, dead fish eyes, and shouted in shock, awe, and excitement: "Oh my god! Sister Liya is going to become a god! I haven't even become a concubine yet, and I already have the qualification to queue up for godhood? My frog life has a promising future! Haha!"

"Get lost!" Su Lie turned his head and glared at the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad.

That look made the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Toad tremble, and it quickly shut its mouth.

Su Lie smiled at Su Liya and said, "Yes! You deserve to have it!"

Bang! Su Liya solemnly knelt on the ground: "Please rest assured, Master! Liya..."

She swore a solemn oath again.

Rumble! Heavenly Thunder rolled outside the Shelter. The mist rule manifested its power, validating Su Liya's oath.

Only then did she activate the mist godhead.

Su Lie couldn't help but feel excited, and he carefully watched Su Liya.

He saw the mist godhead transform into a cloud of Mist, enveloping Su Liya.

Following that, the Mist permeated through Su Liya's pores and entered her entire body.

The holy light surrounding Su Liya grew brighter and more dazzling, and her demeanor also underwent a tremendous change.

About half an hour later, after an ancient Rune condensed on Su Liya's forehead.

Su Liya finally recovered from the state of advancing to the divine rank.

After opening her eyes, she immediately knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you for your great kindness, Master! Liya has now successfully advanced to become a Mist Deity—of the Land! My scope of duty is bound to the territory of the Shelter!"

"Huh? Is your scope of duty only as large as the Shelter?" Su Lie was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

Su Liya scratched her head and said with an embarrassed expression: "I apologize, Master! Because I am your servant and the steward of the Shelter, and coupled with the fact that my profession is also a steward, when I awakened the mist godhead, the mist rule granted me the authority of the Shelter's Land Deity based on my own circumstances!"

"What is this power of yours used for?" Su Lie asked, looking at Su Liya.

Su Liya solemnly stated: "Every enemy that invades the Shelter will be known to me! Furthermore, I will know everything on the Shelter's land clearly and completely!"

"Previously, I needed to go out and patrol the Shelter to know about various matters. Now, with just a thought, I can know the situation in a designated area of the Shelter, and I can even see the scenery of that area through the godhead!"

"I can also use divine power to exterminate all existences weaker than me that invade the Shelter!"

"I can also promote abundant harvests and adjust the land and water flow within the Shelter!"

"Master! Before, we needed the Little Skeleton to dig ditches, but now, with just a thought, a trench can instantly appear in a designated area within the Shelter!"

Su Liya spoke eloquently.

Su Lie slowly understood that Su Liya's main use was still focused on assisting with the management of the Shelter; going out to fight was impossible.

This suddenly made him realize a question: "Could this be a side effect brought about by Liya using the Pet Evolution Core? Since Su Liya herself is bound to the Shelter and cannot leave it, is that why her divine authority is like this?"

Thinking of this, Su Lie instructed Su Liya: "Liya! Let me see your panel!"
