Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 876 The Hidden Dangers of Crystal Divinity: An Unprecedented Dual-Attribute Demigod?
Cao Xing pondered, "Besides the level increase, those warriors also gave me a large number of dream fragments."

“Last night, I had them all come back and hand over all the fragments they had. Now we’ve accumulated quite a few.”

He glanced at the number of fragments in his backpack.

[Dream Fragments * 744 million]

...

"In one month, they collected more than seven million dream fragments for me, which is about the same as the previous month."

Cao Xing was quite satisfied with this speed.

You should know that a month ago, he had Liu Muxue lead an elite team and, with the help of the [Light Mirror] effect, they fought their way through 99 floors.

It's equivalent to getting all the first-clear rewards before finally obtaining over seven million fragments.

This month, there is no first-clear bonus, but the amount is still comparable to the first month.

There are two reasons why we were able to achieve so much.

Firstly, the warriors are reaching increasingly deeper levels of the dream world, making it more likely that defeating nightmare monsters will drop 'dream fragments'.

Secondly, their combat power has been significantly enhanced after being amplified by the demigod-level Liu Muxue.

That's why the exploration efficiency is so high.

Cao Xing pondered to himself: "If all 744 million Dream Fragments are used to exchange for 'Divine Power Fragments,' I can get 148 of them."

"Including the 247 fragments I had left from last time, that makes a total of 395..."

"Then, with the 300 fragments of divine power and a [Wind God Fire] sent by the Holy See, I've already met the requirements for breaking through to the demigod realm!"

Yes, half a month ago, the Vatican delivered the divine fragments of power and divine fire to redeem the 'Fire Thief' as agreed.

This also surprised Cao Xing.

After all, he only agreed to the Vatican's conditions because he had too many enemies and wanted to deal with them one by one; he never expected them to be able to fulfill their agreement.

So this time, the delivery of the items was truly beyond his expectations.

"Now everything is ready. I just need to level up a few more times before I can start preparing to break through to demigod status!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing unconsciously clenched his fist, his anticipation growing stronger.

He couldn't wait to experience demigod-level power.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly remembered another question.

"Judging from the commotion when I broke through to the legendary level last time, the power of my breakthrough to demigod is probably many times more terrifying than that of Mu Xue and Isabel."

"Moreover... because the ancient dragon Krakato has already left the [Crystal] property on my body."

"In other words, I actually possessed the 'divinity' needed to break through to demigod status long ago."

"So, when I break through to demigod level, will I directly use the [Crystal] property to transform?"

"Or... do I need to activate another trait? And then break through to demigod status with dual traits?"

"is it possible?"

He couldn't help but doubt his own thoughts.

After all, Cao Xing's territory only had two demigods, Isabel and Liu Muxue.

Moreover, they all broke through their limits after activating new forms of divinity.

Cao Xing's situation is quite special.

Moreover, even if he asked the lizardman chieftain or Rosie, they probably wouldn't know either.

After all, the idea of ​​a human inheriting the characteristics of an ancient dragon is simply a fantasy!

Therefore, Cao Xing's current situation is probably unique, and no one can answer his question.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Cao Xing!
He suddenly realized something and whispered, "No...maybe I can go ask it."

"As an omniscient being, the Pale Tree might be able to provide the answer."

"I just don't know if the sacred tree has awakened after a month of slumber."

Cao Xing decided to set off immediately to check on the condition of the sacred tree.

As he hurried to the back garden area, he saw a pair of graceful tree spirit beauties dressed in simple, light gauze.

It was the sisters Juliet and Neve.

They were bending over, carefully cultivating magical plants that emitted a fluorescent glow.

As they moved, their delicate skin, shimmering with a pearly luster, was revealed beneath the sheer neckline, making one's heart race.

It's worth mentioning that Cao Xing frequently visited the room of the two tree spirit sisters during this month.

Under his careful guidance, the two sisters learned a lot of new knowledge and postures.

Moreover, after Cao Xing's hard work, Neve's body seems to have undergone some changes.

The soft object, which was originally only half the size of a bowl, has become slightly firmer.

It looks like a snow-white steamed bun, making people want to take a bite.

Little Neph was the first to notice Cao Xing's arrival. She immediately straightened up and bowed with delight, saying, "Lord, you've arrived!"

Juliet quickly stood up, a blush rising on her pretty face: "Greetings, Your Excellency..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to their slightly disheveled clothes as they bent over.

The two sisters noticed his gaze, and instead of hiding it, they subtly straightened their backs, making their beautiful curves even more prominent.

Little Neve deliberately swayed gently.

Cao Xing chuckled, naturally able to see through the sisters' little scheme.

"Alright, I'll go to your rooms tonight. Now, take me to see the Sacred Tree."

Juliet and Neve exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads in embarrassment: "Yes, my lord."

"Please come with us."

Then, they turned around and led the way, one on each side, their light steps causing the veils to flutter and releasing a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

After passing through a fluorescent path made up of glowing flowers, the towering, pale sacred tree suddenly appeared before us.

Compared to a month ago, the pale sacred tree's branches and leaves are more lush, and its white trunk is now shimmering with a faint silver light.

"It seems the recovery is going well..." Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, a familiar mental fluctuation rippled out from the tree trunk.

"Chosen One, you have arrived..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and went straight to the point: "Sacred Tree, I've come here this time because I have a new question I'd like to ask you."

"It's not about any secrets, nor is it about asking you to help find anything."

"It's a question about myself..."

The sacred tree's branches swayed gently, making a rustling sound: "Are you asking... about the divinity left behind by the crystal dragon within your body?"

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the other party had already anticipated his thoughts before he could even speak.

He sighed softly, once again marveling at the omniscient power of the Pale Sacred Tree.

"Yes, I'd like to know, how will this affect my breakthrough?"

At this point, Cao Xing added, "Of course, if this problem requires you to expend your energy, then there's no need to mention it."

The voice of the sacred tree was gentle and calm: "Chosen One, your question is only about yourself. It does not involve the world or any hidden existence, nor does it involve cause and effect such as time or fate."

"I can answer that question for you..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's spirits lifted, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation.

At the same time, the sacred tree's young yet ancient voice rang out once more.

"Your situation is truly unprecedented."

"For a human to possess the divinity of an ancient dragon is something that should not be tolerated by the laws of nature..."

"You could explode and die the instant you come into contact with this divine power."

"However... because Krakato itself is the controller of the rules, it used its own life to forcibly seal this rule into your body, thus maintaining the balance."

Cao Xing frowned: "You mean, this 'trait' is currently sealed?"

The sacred tree slowly said, "Yes... because you hadn't yet come into contact with this level of power, you couldn't sense its existence."

"And once activated, this divinity will instantly unleash true god-level power."

"In other words... if you were to forcibly break through to demigod status now, you would likely be directly devoured by this power and ultimately turned into a crystal statue..."

When the sacred tree finished speaking, Cao Xing's pupils shrank, and a sense of lingering fear arose in his heart.

"Damn! Good thing I came to ask beforehand."

"Otherwise, if I broke through to demigod status under normal circumstances without knowing anything, I probably wouldn't even know how I died!"

He instinctively clenched his fists, and cold sweat broke out on his back...

This also made him think of a new problem.

So… did Krakato know about this? If it did, why would it seal such a dangerous power within itself?
Or does it actually have other plans?
Cao Xing always believed that he and that ancient dragon were friends.

Even though it's dead...

But now, the identities of friend and foe become blurred in an instant.

The cold morning wind swept by, bringing a biting chill, and also made Cao Xing's gaze extremely cold.

Juliet and Nevet sensed the change in atmosphere and exchanged uneasy glances.

The sacred tree seemed to know what he was thinking and explained, "The chosen one, that crystal dragon, does indeed know this."

"But it also knows that you, as the chosen one, are destined to walk a different path."

"This power is both a test and a gift; do not doubt Krakato's goodwill towards you..."

Hearing the sacred tree's explanation, Cao Xing slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

This isn't to blame him for being suspicious; it's simply because he knows too little about such god-like beings.

Beings at this level may have transcended the simple concepts of good and evil, and instead follow some higher-level laws.

But now it seems that the ancient dragon hadn't reached that level yet.

At least, His help to Cao Xing was genuine.

He looked up and asked again, "So, given my current physical condition, is there any solution?"

The sacred tree remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yes, and there are two methods..."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up again, his gaze towards the sacred tree filled with anticipation!

As expected of the omniscient sacred tree, it truly knows everything.

The ancient yet youthful voice of the Sacred Tree resounded: "The first option is to directly abandon this True God-level [Divinity], and then reactivate a Divinity that belongs to you, breaking through to Demigod status in the conventional way."

"The second method involves using special ritual materials to temporarily suppress this divinity and then activate the second divinity."

"At the moment of breakthrough, he abandoned the suppression and broke through directly with dual divinity, becoming an unprecedented dual-attribute... demigod."

When he spoke the last sentence, even the voice of the sacred tree showed a rare fluctuation.

Cao Xing's pupils contracted slightly, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

Although he didn't know what a dual-attribute demigod was, he could feel the weight of this second method just from the words "unprecedented".

This is absolutely an unprecedented path to becoming a strongman!
His gaze was intense as he pressed, "What are the special ritual materials?"

The sacred tree did not answer immediately, but slowly said, "Before I tell you, I have another question to ask you."

"Chosen One, do you know what dual divinity represents?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing slowly shook his head: "I don't know."

The sacred tree's branches swayed gently: "I'll give you a hint: before this, you've also come into contact with some special beings."

"For example, the Crystal Dragon Krakato, in addition to the [Crystal] ability, also possesses another ability, [Lightning].

"In addition, it also controls some secondary properties, such as: Fury, Blood Scorch, Shatter, etc..."

After a pause, the sacred tree's voice became even deeper: "And you have also heard of the name of the Six True Gods."

"Such as the god who controls [order], [spirit], and [truth]—Kemiel."

"And there is also Lisa, the goddess who controls beauty, freedom, and wind."

"And the goddess who controls [air], [healing], and [life]—Devina..."

He did not continue speaking.

At this moment, Cao Xing stood frozen in place, a solemn expression on his face.

He understood what the sacred tree meant, but this conjecture still shocked him greatly.

Cao Xing swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "You mean... those who control two or more main [divine] aspects are basically true god-level beings?"

The sacred tree slowly said, "That's right, which is why I said your situation is very special..."

"The legendary realm possesses one divinity. If you break through using the second method, you can even possess two main divinities at the demigod realm..."

"I haven't found any precedent in my memory, and I don't know if you can succeed..."

"Perhaps... we can wait another eleven months, until I recover some of my strength, and then use the [Sacred Tree Revelation] to help you deduce the possibilities..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing fell into a long silence.

He looked up into the distance, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Juliet and Neve held their breath, looking at their lord with worried expressions.

"Eleven months..."

He murmured softly, then looked up, a resolute glint in his eyes: "No, I can't wait that long."

"Sacred Tree, please tell me directly what that special ritual is and what I need to prepare."

The pale branches trembled slightly, as if sighing, "That special ritual..."

"Materials required: 50 Divine Crystals, Spirit Wood Plank, Heart of God, Remains of an Ancient Spirit..."

"Furthermore... to increase your chances of success in breaking through, you'll need a complete divine corpse to withstand the backlash from the laws that erupt when dual divinity merges..."

With each item he revealed, Cao Xing's expression grew increasingly grave...

Because many of these things are related to gods.

Putting aside the previous [Divine Crystal] and [Heart of God], the last requirement alone, which requires "a complete corpse of a god," already made his scalp tingle.

In other words, to gather all the materials for this ritual, he might have to kill a god...

(P.S.: I won't be suppressing the main character; this is just preparation for slaying the god.)
Thinking of this, Cao Xing took a deep breath, the cool air filling his lungs and calming his mind a little.

"This level of difficulty is truly beyond my imagination..."

"really……"

Ancient runes appeared on the branches of the sacred tree: "Legendary creatures are insignificant to gods."

"Not to mention, you also want to take these precious items from them..."

"Furthermore, even if we gather all the materials, there is no guarantee that we will succeed in breaking through."

"That's why I say this is an unprecedented path, one that no one in history has ever succeeded in."

"But similarly, no one has ever possessed true god-level divinity at the legendary level like you..."

Cao Xing gazed at the pale sacred tree and slowly nodded, saying, "I understand. Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

The branches of the sacred tree swayed gently...

...

...

A few minutes later, Cao Xing returned to the city wall of the inner city.

He gazed into the distance and said slowly, "I never expected that the crystal power left behind by Krakato would actually affect my breakthrough to demigodhood."

"From this perspective, unless I do what I told the Holy Tree, and choose to abandon that True God-level characteristic and break through to demigod status in the conventional way, it seems that..."

"Otherwise, the only option is to kill a god..."

A thoughtful look reappeared in his eyes.

Clearly, this choice is crucial, and may even affect future growth trajectory and combat effectiveness.

"The first method is also the safest, and it will allow me to quickly break through to the level of a demigod."

"But this means giving up the [Crystal] property and the power that Krakato left me..."

"The second method is very risky and difficult, but..."

"But if I succeed, it will be an unprecedented feat!"

"With the blessing of dual divinity, I will definitely have the combat power to sweep away opponents of the same level, and I might even activate special abilities!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Damn it, let's do it!"

"I'll go and slay a god so I can break through to demigod status!"

In the past, he might have thought that 'slaying gods' was an unattainable goal.

But now, after the battle of Starfire City, and with two demigod-level creatures in his territory, he has the courage to face these creatures head-on.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Currently, the strongest fighting force in my territory is still Malenina."

"Moreover, she is currently only at the Legendary Realm, and her level has already reached 134, not far from level 150..."

"Once Malenina breaks through to the demigod realm and activates [Valkyrie's Wrath] and [Second Form], combined with my [Eternal Power], she will absolutely be able to crush all demigods!"

"Even...fighting against gods of a higher level!"

"This is one of the reasons why I dared to choose the second path."
