236: Chapter 236 If You Don’t Abandon…

“Hiss!” Shen Qingzhu gritted his teeth, but still couldn’t hold back a painful sound.

His body was already covered in wounds, and the scalding blood continuously poured into Shen Qingzhu’s body through these injuries.

The feeling was like being in a blazing inferno, the burning pain penetrating through his bone marrow directly to his Soul.

But Shen Qingzhu could feel that under the immersion of this fresh blood, his body was gradually undergoing some kind of change.

“Huasheng Pool?” Shen Qingzhu asked in confusion, “Song Zhong, who are those two corpses in the middle?”

“Look closely, don’t they look a bit familiar?” Song Zhong asked back.

Shen Qingzhu fixed his gaze and suddenly, he noticed that one of the corpses had lost its left arm.

Looking at the smooth break where the corpse’s left arm should have been, Shen Qingzhu’s mouth fell open.

“This…could this be…those two Outer Gods from Egypt?”

Because the heads of the corpses were submerged in the blood pool, and their bodies were extremely withered, Shen Qingzhu didn’t recognize them immediately.

More importantly, he couldn’t even imagine that the corpses of gods would be so openly inverted in front of him.

“That’s right, to bathe with two Outer Gods, Shen Qingzhu, you are indeed the first person in Great Xia,” Song Zhong said calmly.

Shen Qingzhu’s face was already numb; he didn’t know what kind of expression would be most suitable for the current situation.

“Song Zhong, so the fresh blood in this pool, is it theirs?”

Song Zhong shook his head and slowly said, “No, if it were truly the blood of a god, your body would have long turned to dust; how would you have the chance to speak with me now?”

“Uh,” Shen Qingzhu gave an awkward smile, “So what’s the situation now? Also, I remember hearing a furious roar when I entered the underground cavern.”

Song Zhong said, “Hmm, that’s right, that sound was Wind God Xiu’s wail, but I controlled its power.

That sound was originally a test for you; if you had lost yourself in the wailing of a god, you wouldn’t have had the chance to enter this Huasheng Pool to strengthen yourself.”

Shen Qingzhu didn’t know what to say; the shock Song Zhong had brought him today was already enough.

“So that’s how it is, thank you, Song Zhong.”

“Don’t thank me, thank yourself. It was you who passed this trial. I didn’t expect the first experiment to be so successful.”

Hearing Song Zhong blatantly state that he was an experiment, Shen Qingzhu sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, he remembered something, “Song Zhong, you said that wail was from Wind God Xiu, doesn’t that mean he’s not dead yet?”

“Of course, the Egyptian Ennead are rare treasures; how could I bear to kill them? My Huasheng Pool isn’t finished yet.”

After Song Zhong’s explanation, Shen Qingzhu finally understood the general situation.

It turned out that after Song Zhong captured Osiris and Wind God Xiu, he didn’t kill them.

Instead, with the help of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, he activated the Huasheng Pool and “planted” the two gods in the pool.

Once this Huasheng Pool had two gods, it began to use them as nourishment, continuously absorbing the Law power from their bodies.

In this world, different Laws cannot undergo Fusion.

However, this Huasheng Pool possessed a strange ability: it could extract the Law power from a god’s body, throwing it into disarray and returning it to a state of Chaos.

This chaotic state of Law power was the best nourishment for the belief Laws formed within the Ghost Country.

Song Zhong, Shen Tu, and Yu Lei had calculated that if all the gods in this world could be “planted” into the Huasheng Pool, all the native Laws of this world would be transformed into nourishment for the belief Laws.

With this ebb and flow, Song Zhong would then assimilate all the Laws in this world, becoming the sole True God.

Of course, this was only an ideal scenario.

The number of gods in the God Kingdom was vast, and to achieve his grand ambition, he still needed to plan for the long term.

Currently, the first thing he needed to solve was to create a human-god hybrid experimental sample.

Humans becoming gods always faced a problem: their Physical Body could not bear the Law power.

Therefore, after humans became gods, they all faced the crisis of being assimilated into the Dao.

However, looking at the history of the God Slaying World, Hero King Gilgamesh was the first precedent of a human becoming a god.

Because this Hero King was a human-god hybrid himself, possessing a demigod body, he could naturally bear the Law power.

Although in the Late Stage, others came up with outrageous methods like replicating [Immortality] to strengthen the Physical Body, this method was not universally applicable.

But after Song Zhong established the Huasheng Pool with the help of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, he also gained the possibility of creating a demigod body.

The experimental sample Song Zhong chose was Shen Qingzhu.

Previously, in the underground cavern, the roar containing Divine Might emitted by Wind God Xiu was a test for Shen Qingzhu.

If his will was not firm, or if he retreated due to fear,

Then Shen Qingzhu would have no connection whatsoever with this demigod transformation experiment.

Fortunately, his obsession with Bai Li Pang Pang allowed him to persevere.

After understanding all this, Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt that the burning pain on his body was not so agonizing anymore.

So he was going to be transformed into a demigod body?

Shen Qingzhu’s heart was both excited and filled with gratitude.

He felt no resentment or regret whatsoever about being used as an experimental subject.

His goal was to become stronger; as long as he could become stronger, any price was worth paying.

Because Pang Pang was still waiting for him to rescue him.

“If you can pass the first stage, the chances of success for the later stages will increase by a few points,” Song Zhong said.

Song Zhong looked at the scarred Shen Qingzhu as if admiring a rare Ru ware porcelain.

“Your first step now is to complete the blood exchange.

Gradually fuse the Mortal blood in your body with divine blood, indirectly stimulating the re-development of your bone marrow and extreme muscles.

Let divinity take root and sprout in your Physical Body.

This way, you can barely be considered to possess a demigod body.

Although it cannot be compared to Gilgamesh’s naturally born demigod body, it will be enough for you to use for a while.”

Shen Qingzhu’s face showed gratitude, “Song Zhong, Qingzhu is not very good with words.

Your kindness in remaking me, I will never forget. From today onwards, this life of mine is yours.

If you do not abandon me…”

“Stop!”

Song Zhong heard the last four words and quickly interrupted Shen Qingzhu’s speech.

This kid, to be honest, was really a bit sinister, naturally suited to be a spy.

Spy?

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Song Zhong’s mind.

He looked at Wind God Xiu in the Huasheng Pool, then at Shen Qingzhu.

If he remembered correctly, Shen Qingzhu’s Forbidden Territory seemed to be called [Qi Min].

It just so happened to belong to the Wind Law.

“Song Zhong, if I truly become a demigod body, does that mean I can become a master of the Sea Realm, or even the Boundless Realm?” Shen Qingzhu asked excitedly.

“Boundless?” Song Zhong shook his head, “Little Zhu Zi, set your sights further. Are you interested in becoming a little Wind God?”
