70: Man and God

Within the Divine Cult, the Corona God Envoy is an undeniable figure of great importance.

A Corona God Envoy is qualified to hear the voice of the Divine, can convey divine commands, and holds an extremely revered position within the cult.

Beyond status, a Corona God Envoy is also a symbol of strength; such individuals often already possess sufficient qualifications to become a vessel for the Divine's descent, and their combat power is unfathomable.

With the anomalous sun slowly rotating in her eyes, the Corona God Envoy looked out the window, her voice ethereal.

"Those youngsters chosen by the cult have all completed their missions and returned."

"The Eye of Oracle has been set. When the nascent Star God emerges and the power pervading the Forbidden Zone converges, I can activate the Eye of Oracle at any time to draw the attention of my Lord."

At this point, she paused slightly, then continued, "Mr. Tang, with the Federation making so many arrangements, aren't you afraid it will all be in vain?"

"My Lord is involved in this matter. If the promised items are not ultimately obtained, then compensation in other areas will be required."

"Rest assured."

Tang Qian's gaze was profound, and streams of data of unknown meaning occasionally swept across the lenses of his glasses.

"If it truly all turns out to be for naught, and everything is empty, then that would actually be a good thing."

"For us, nothing is more important than a Star God, a Gaia planet."

"After all, this represents… the future."

"Taking this action now is merely a precaution, to prevent any unforeseen incidents."

He looked at the Corona God Envoy beside him: "Your Excellency, this isn't the first time you've cooperated with our Starfire Federation. You should know that we never disappoint our friends."

"Currently, what you said is correct."

"Otherwise, my Lord would not be involved."

As the Corona God Envoy spoke, she turned and glided towards the entrance of the reception room.

Her shoulders did not undulate, and her feet were about a foot off the ground, clearly moving while suspended in mid-air.

"The moment an anomaly appears in the Forbidden Zone, I will activate the Eye of Oracle."

"I hope we haven't prepared in vain."

After leaving the last two sentences, the door to the reception room automatically opened, and she left the room.

Tang Qian stood by the window, his eyes profound.

The data on his lenses rapidly increased at this moment, like a torrent.

In the gaps where the torrent swept by, his gaze shifted towards a certain spot in the Frontline Base.

"Are those left here mere pawns, regardless of the outcome?"

"Or is there another plan?"

...

The thundercloud vortex continued, and light rain fell.

The impact of this rain of vitality on living beings was secondary, merely a moistening effect, but its impact on the Mining Star was immense.

Like a barren land bursting with life, with this rain, this planet awakened from its slumber.

Forbidden Zone Center.

Time passed.

At a certain instant, Qin Jin stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.

The rain had stopped.

His gaze instinctively turned forward, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

The slowly changing form of the thunderous light cluster had disappeared at some point, and this vast Star God breeding ground, with the dissolution of the Thunder God Tree and the disappearance of the light cluster, had become completely empty.

Above.

The thundercloud vortex surged, gradually receding, allowing the Mining Star to see the light of day again.

Below.

In the basin, perhaps because the Star God was born here, the vitality was extremely abundant, and it had already evolved into a lush grassland, making one feel refreshed.

Under the power of the Divine, nature was transformed.

"So then..."

"Where did the Star God go?"

The moment the thought arose, a sound suddenly resonated in Qin Jin's mind.

The voice seemed distant, yet also close, resonating in his mind, containing many qualities, like a melodious song.

"The aura on you..."

"It's very special, very familiar."

...

Star God Forbidden Zone.

Three figures in deep yellow robes stood still, looking up at the sky.

"The birth of the Star God is about to end."

"Prepare to activate the ritual to guide the direction for my Lord."

The person in the middle looked at the two beside him, his voice low and fanatical: "We can finally see our Lord with our own eyes!"

"Here, this planet."

"It will become a holy land for my Lord to advance further!"

The eyes of the two beside him were equally fanatical.

Beneath them.

The ritual array, already set up and ready, was in a dormant state. From the center of the array, faint crimson liquid continuously surged out, spreading to the surroundings, slowly forming a pattern.

If viewed from high above.

One would find that the flowing blood ultimately formed a huge pupil pattern, imprinted on the ground.

...

As that voice resonated in Qin Jin's mind, the surrounding environment rapidly changed.

He was originally on the Thunder Pool Cliff, but now, looking around, obscure runes of unknown meaning appeared in the void, arranging and combining with each other to form a strange Different Space.

Qin Jin stood personally within this Different Space.

The surrounding walls were formed by the convergence of various runes of different appearances. Just by observing with his naked eye, Qin Jin could perceive that the experience of the [Supernatural Power] sub-branch under the [Researcher] profession on his professional panel had increased.

There was no need to understand its essence; merely observing it with his own eyes brought growth.

Even a nascent Divine being possessed supreme power.

Just as Qin Jin was about to look up at the sky of this Different Space, a warning surged in his spiritual realm!

One must not look directly at a Divine being without any preparation.

He didn't know the specific consequences, but the warning that arose within him was an emergency alert when the human body encountered danger, making Qin Jin realize that if he were to look directly at the other party at this moment, something bad would happen.

It was at this moment.

Qin Jin clearly felt a special power, soft as a spring, flowing into his eyes.

The power was extremely gentle, and as it flowed into his eyes, a sense of clarity arose.

The warning in his heart disappeared.

This was undoubtedly power from a Divine being.

After becoming a Martial Artist, Qin Jin's eyesight had been continuously improving. Now, under the influence of this gentle power, the improvement in eyesight was secondary; Qin Jin was sure that he had gained a new ability.

To look directly at a Divine being!

He raised his head and looked up.

He saw the true form of the Mining Star's Star God.

That vast thunderous light cluster that had been born within the Thunder God Tree, after continuously shaping and evolving, had transformed into a single [character].

A complex character that was obscure, difficult to understand, and whose meaning was unclear.

This was Qin Jin's first feeling.

As he looked, a sense of vastness overwhelmed his heart, as if he had absorbed an entire planet in a single glance. Its true form was like an ancient character, but the strokes it contained were counted in the hundreds of millions!

Moreover, in hours, minutes, seconds, and even more precise units of time, these hundreds of millions of strokes were constantly changing, forming new shapes, becoming new extraordinary characters.

Such complex strokes far exceeded Qin Jin's current scope of thought, but in the changes of those strokes, they were scattered yet orderly, well-arranged, possessing the beauty of characters and containing deeper meanings. Therefore… this was what gave Qin Jin this perception.

No longer as violent as the Thunder God Tree during its birth, but rather returning to simplicity, all power contained within itself.

With a mortal body, facing a Divine being directly.

Waves surged in Qin Jin's heart.

Within this Different Space, he did not use his spiritual power, but looked up at the true form of the Star God and spoke in the purest human language.

"Star God, Your Excellency."

"Qin Jin of the Starfire Federation, greets you."
