Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16107 Curiosity
"Hahaha, friend, what an ancient word." The God of Gluttony suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Zhao Hai and saying, "I was really too naive. You still haven't escaped human thinking. If you continue to think like this, even if you ascend to our place and meet us, you won't have a good ending. Don't you know that sometimes death is a relief? And you don't think that there are only humans where we are, do you? You're too naive."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't believe I can be friends with everyone, nor do I consider everyone a friend. I also don't believe that there are only humans where you are. That's why I haven't ascended to immortality, because I don't want to live a life worse than death."

"Hahaha, you're a smart man, but I still want to see if you're qualified to ascend." After saying this, the God of Gluttony disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already above Zhao Hai. The next moment, he transformed into an enormous monster fish, opened his mouth, and swallowed Zhao Hai whole.

Zhao Hai looked at the giant fish and smiled slightly, saying, "This is your true form, isn't it?" After saying that, Zhao Hai pointed upwards, and in the next moment, countless runes suddenly appeared. These runes formed a fist and punched the giant fish in the mouth. With a loud bang, the giant fish was sent flying backwards by the punch.

After the giant fish was sent flying, it transformed back into the fat man's form. The fat man looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Your strength is indeed quite impressive. Then try this move of mine." With that, the fat man moved and transformed into a giant fish once more. He then opened his mouth wide, and with this movement, an immense suction force emanated from his mouth. The surrounding space crackled and creaked, as if it couldn't withstand such a powerful suction and was about to shatter.

As Zhao Hai sensed this power, his expression changed slightly. He then said in a deep voice, "Is this your true strength? It should be quite different from your original strength, right?" As Zhao Hai spoke, he waved his hand, and countless runes flew out. These runes scattered all around, and the sound disappeared from the surrounding space. Clearly, the space had been frozen in place.

Then Zhao Hai pointed forward, and in the next moment a sword composed of countless runes flew out and pierced straight towards the giant fish.

The giant fish inhaled sharply, and the sword formed of runes was sucked directly into its mouth. A mocking look flashed in its eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Instead, a look of pain appeared on its face. The next moment, it opened its mouth and let out an extremely painful roar. Then, a ball of golden light burst out from its belly and shot out. With a loud bang, its belly exploded, and countless runes flew out and returned to Zhao Hai's side.

The giant fish roared again, and its wounds healed rapidly. In no time, its wounds were completely healed. Then, the giant fish transformed into the fat man's appearance. He stood there, looking at Zhao Hai with a trace of pain on his face.

Zhao Hai looked at him and then smiled slightly, saying, "Well, is my strength good enough for you?"

The God of Gluttony looked at Zhao Hai, his expression now calm. He said, "Not bad, your strength is indeed impressive. I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm. With your strength, we might actually become friends." After he finished speaking, a loud boom was heard, and his body exploded, turning into black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Zhao Hai looked at the spot where the God of Gluttony had disappeared, a smile appearing on his face. He knew the God of Gluttony was unconvinced because this was in the lower realm, where he couldn't use his full strength. That's why he was so unwilling to accept defeat, and that's why he said he would wait for Zhao Hai in the upper realm. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. Not to mention the future, even if he ascended to the upper realm now, he wouldn't be afraid of the God of Gluttony. His strength was undeniable; his current strength already surpassed that of the God of Gluttony, let alone in the future.

Seeing the God of Gluttony disappear without Zhao Hai making any move, the runes simply returned to him. Zhao Hai then said, "Old Bai, you guys take care of this place." Bai Yan responded, and Zhao Hai's figure vanished. There was no need for him to stay any longer. The space was now eerily clean, without a single piece of land. As for the God of Gluttony's power, it had completely disappeared when he retrieved the runes. Therefore, Bai Yan and the others only needed to cover the entire area with the Thousand Machine Star Radar.

Under Bai Yan's command, the Thousand Machine Star radar was deployed across the entire area, and the entire area was captured in the spatial map. The rest was left to Shi Jin.

After returning to the Blood Slaughter Sect, Zhao Hai went straight to his room. With a flick of his hand, two black runes appeared in his palm, emanating an ominous aura. These were runes Zhao Hai had created himself, based on the abilities of the God of Gluttony. One was a Devouring Rune, and the other a Digesting Rune. Although these runes seemed insignificant, their uses were immense. If used properly, even if one couldn't match the God of Gluttony, one wouldn't be far behind.

However, Zhao Hai did not intend to give these two runes to the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect. These two runes carried an ominous aura, the source of which was actually the God of Gluttony. Don't underestimate the God of Gluttony; he is extremely powerful. The core of the God of Gluttony lies in devouring and digesting energy. As soon as these two energies appear, they will be noticed by the God of Gluttony, and he can influence them. Just like Zhao Hai, as long as runes appear, regardless of who is using them, Zhao Hai can directly influence these two runes if he wants to. The God of Gluttony is the same; he can influence these two energies at any time. If Zhao Hai gave these two energies to the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, then these energies would definitely be affected by the God of Gluttony, and the impact on the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect would be enormous.

Zhao Hai realized that he had underestimated the gods. He thought his power could surpass theirs, and that he could freely use the powers associated with them as long as he created runes. But now he realized he was wrong. Even if his power surpassed theirs and he created runes from their core powers, the gods could still influence those powers. If he used those powers carelessly, he would still be in danger.

This is actually similar to the God of Pride. The God of Pride doesn't need to preach. As long as someone has a proud heart, he can absorb energy. The reason he preaches is simply to obtain more power, not because he actually needs to preach.

The same applies to the God of Gluttony. Forget about them; even Zhao Hai is the same. He's currently in the Divine Realm, and besides the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples providing him with faith power daily, Zhao Hai can also feel countless energies surging into his body every day. Where does this power come from? It comes from the Divine Realm itself. The Divine Realm contains countless domains, and as long as there are people or cultivators within that domain, and as long as they use words or runes, Zhao Hai can absorb energy. So, the God of Gluttony and the others are the same. As long as someone does something corresponding to their power, they can absorb energy. Just like the God of Gluttony, as long as someone eats too much and digests it, the God of Gluttony gains energy. This is why they are immortal; because as long as someone does something corresponding to their power, they gain energy, and with energy, they cannot die. Therefore, they are naturally immortal.

Upon realizing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. Then, with a flick of his hand, the two runes disappeared from his grasp. He only needed to remember these two runes; there was no need to use them. If he did, the God of Gluttony would gain energy, which would only make the God of Gluttony even stronger.

Zhao Hai was currently pondering a crucial question: how to kill those beings? He desperately wanted to know how to eliminate the God of Gluttony and his allies. The answer was surprisingly simple: if no one acted in accordance with their power, they would lose their source of strength and could potentially be killed. However, in this universe, how could no one possibly act in accordance with their power? Take the God of Pride's power of arrogance, for example. As long as someone possessed arrogance, the God of Pride would gain power. How could you expect everyone in this universe to be free of arrogance? It was impossible. Not to mention the Gods of Sloth and Gluttony. There were far too many lazy people in this world, so the God of Sloth couldn't possibly be powerless. The same applied to the God of Gluttony. Even if cultivators didn't eat, they still consumed elixirs. As long as they ate, they had to digest it, thus gaining power and preventing their deaths. Therefore, it was utterly impossible to deprive them of their power.

Zhao Hai now understands that those gods didn't simply refine a power to its extreme. Even if you truly refined a power to its extreme, you still couldn't become a god unless that power could truly make you immortal, like the power of pride, sloth, digestion, or runes. These powers must be available in various planes of the universe for you to become a god.

However, Zhao Hai became curious again. If that were truly the case, then why had no one ever obtained such an easily attainable power as runes? Was it Zhao Hai who obtained this power, while no one else did? Why was that? Could it be that there truly was no God of Runes in this world before? Could such a simple divine power have truly been obtained by no one?
