Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

When Lear opened his eyes again, it was January 23rd.

The moment I woke up, the power within me was like an erupting volcano, raging wildly.

The space where he stood was almost crushed, and the surroundings were constantly distorting.

The terrifying divine power swept across all directions like a tsunami, so exaggerated that it directly covered the entire primordial plane.

Countless lives turned in horror to look at where he was.

The gods from other pantheons also turned their gazes down, their expressions grave as they looked in that direction.

Many of the gods' expressions turned extremely grim.

A god has actually descended in his true form?!
Has the other side already taken control of hundreds of temples?

The more temples one controls, the fewer restrictions one faces.

Many deities who control more than 10 temples have experienced this.

If someone has already arrived, it means that the other party is far, far ahead of them.

If the other party were to attack them directly now, many gods would feel a chill run down their spines.

It's not that they're unwilling to control more temples, but rather that most people have reservations.

After several rounds of elimination and fierce competition, those who can still control the temple now are not weak.

Stealing the other party's temple in the primordial plane is equivalent to creating a mortal feud between the two parties!

Temples can sense authority!

Who would willingly allow outsiders to have their authority over them?
The situation is clearly changing dramatically, and who would want to gain another mortal enemy in the midst of this change?

Moreover, without significant means, it would be highly unlikely to conquer a territory guarded by ultimate units.

This puts the original plane in a state of relative equilibrium.

Lear is different; he knows how the future will unfold and can act boldly.

They are not afraid of making any enemies at all.

After March 1st, every god will be an enemy, so what's there to be afraid of now!
With the strong support of the Goddess of Misfortune, they were able to accomplish a goal that many other powerful beings had failed to achieve.

Lear took a deep breath and slowly calmed his emotions.

Extend your right hand and slowly clench it into a fist.

A crisp crunching sound came from my fingers.

Ripples spread through the surrounding void.

Open the attribute panel; the level has increased from 29 to 30.

A supreme and powerful divine force!

He was only one step away from the true pinnacle of the world, and the goddess of misfortune had already prepared the steps for him.

Li Er let out a long breath and slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

After calming down, I walked up to the statue that was covered in moss, and suddenly, a thought struck me. I reached out and touched the soft moss on it.

The next moment, his mind trembled, and a scene appeared in his mind: in the endless chaotic void.

A pair of cold eyes looked down at the earth.

He could clearly sense the domineering and arrogant look in those eyes, as if they were feeding on the entire world, viewing all living beings as flesh and blood on a chopping board, and considering the gods as ants beneath their feet.

But before he could get a good look, the eyes had already vanished without a trace.

Lear woke up with a start, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

His expression turned somewhat serious.

Who is that? A divine abomination? An ancient god? Or the mastermind behind it all?
The other party has already turned its attention to the primordial plane and has seen him?
Unable to find an answer after much thought, Lear took a deep breath, his gaze turning cold.

No matter who you are, it's best not to stand on the opposite side of the swamp.

The sword in his hand has never been used!

Ignoring all that, he turned and walked out of the temple, then, with the wetland angels who were on guard around, he seized all the remaining temples.

Ultimately, he controlled 105 temples.

He already possessed one-tenth of the thousand temples on the original plane.

This is a competitive game involving hundreds of gods.
After Lear arrived, he no longer intended to expand further.

The temple in the primordial plane could not possibly be entirely controlled by one person, as it was surrounded by gods of light.

He had no interest in turning potential allies into enemies at this critical juncture.

The mastermind behind the scenes has not yet appeared, and no one can say for sure whether one day the gods will gather together to wage a life-or-death battle against the evil gods.

After taking control of the temple, Lear ordered the Bubble Beasts to transport all the ancient humans they had gathered over the past few days back to Catanaro.

After absorbing a massive influx of people, Catanaro's population has surged once again.

This time, it directly broke through the million mark!

This is ancient humanity, a being capable of providing ten times the faith.

This directly led to a surge in the swamp sect's missionary work.

Lear was very pleased with this.

Now, including the believers outside, the faith power he receives every day has climbed to seven or eight million.

It's an exaggeration.

However, there is still a problem he needs to face—in mid-February, the rules of the primordial plane will change.

At that time, the maximum level for entry will be raised to level 18.

This will directly affect the changes in the situation.

The current balance will be broken.

The Longthorn Mountains will inevitably face threats once again.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, a peculiar feeling suddenly arose within him, and his mind stirred slightly.

The next moment, it directly connected to all the temples that were already under its control.

Then, sensing something, a broad smile spread across his face.

After taking control of hundreds of temples, the power of the temples could actually be transferred!
This means he can move hundreds of temples to one!

Without hesitation, he extracted all the power contained within the temples and poured it directly into the temple in Catanaro.

In no time, the 104 swamp temples collapsed with a roar, all shattering into rubble.

At the same time, the temple in Catanaro suddenly rose in height and widened at an extremely rapid pace.

In just over ten minutes, a temple over 20 meters high and over 100 meters wide, exuding an aura of majesty, was born.

The power of all the other temples has been combined!
A brand new swamp temple!
Lear felt much more at ease.

Now we don't need to worry about other temples being attacked. We can concentrate our forces on defending the Longthorn Mountains.

Not bad, very good.

Moreover, is this feeling of sudden enlightenment a premonition brought about by ascending to a higher divine power?
There have been similar experiences before, but none as intense as this.

Indeed, promotion is not simply a matter of leveling up.
Lear felt exceptionally cheerful.

Just then, a voice suddenly called out in my mind—

The Abyss Trio is calling for help!

He felt a chill run down his spine. Without saying a word, he flashed back to the Swamp God Kingdom, opened a spatial rift, and looked towards the other side.

At that moment, the three deities were standing side by side, and upon seeing him, they immediately bowed in unison, hands on their chests.

"Your Majesty."

"dominate."

Lear raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice.

"No need for formalities, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

After the group stood up, Tulos stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, we have launched an attack on the second Abyss Plane and have reached its core city. Two Abyss Grand Dukes are entrenched here, and we are not confident that we can stop them."

Winning is easy; they are both confident they can take down the other in a one-on-one situation. But taking the other down is difficult.

Lear's expression softened; he had thought something serious had happened.

Now, it's a great thing that he's just upgraded, and the power within him is still surging. At this moment, he's itching to test the strength of the powerful divine power of the higher level.

Without hesitation, they crossed the spatial gate and entered the abyss.

This was the first time he had entered this land of death, which in countless myths and legends represented evil and darkness, in his true form.

The moment he stepped onto the scorched earth, he vaguely heard a series of low murmurs.

It sounded like countless lives faintly wailing, roaring, and cursing.

It makes one feel inexplicably irritable.

Concentrating on sensing his surroundings, he immediately discovered a viscous flow of rules around him.

It was like black, almost congealed blood, slowly enveloping him and trying to invade his mind little by little.

The rules of the abyss, the power of evil.

This is the ultimate reason why countless lives linger in the abyss for so long, gradually being corrupted.

Under constant erosion, even gods will be subtly influenced over time, until they completely fall into the abyss.

Lear raised an eyebrow, mobilizing his power to protect himself and isolate himself from the power of the abyss.

Then he looked to his side and saw that the three subordinate gods who had been in the abyss for some time were all more or less entangled with the power of the abyss.

Although it hasn't had a substantial impact yet, it's not a good thing either.

He stretched out his right hand, and a moss-green flame surged forth, directly engulfing the three of them.

stab~
After a period of intense burning, the abyssal power that had been faintly entwining around them was cleared away.

The primordial fire, a treasure he snatched from the god of fire and rekindling.

Now that we have the sun, with its crown, as fuel, we have no fear of depletion.

The group immediately felt their bodies relax and their faces softened.

He then expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Lear waved his hand, signaling them to lead the way.

Tullos immediately stepped forward and led him ahead.

After walking a hundred meters, Lear realized that he was on a huge mountain peak. Looking down, he saw a cliff hundreds of meters high at his feet.

"Your Majesty, what do you see?"

Following Tullos's gesture, Lear looked up and saw a colossal city built of massive stones appearing before him thousands of meters away.

Its height exceeds three hundred meters!

The surrounding low-lying mountains appear rather insignificant in comparison.

Each of the massive stones used to build the city wall is twenty or thirty meters high.

It lacks any artistic sense of architectural design and is entirely constructed by brute force.

You can also see the uneven joints on the outside.

But this city, despite its name, feels impregnable.

"Magic Stone City!"

Tullos's tone was tinged with emotion.

He had never seen such a magnificent city in the prime plane.

But I saw it more than once in the abyss.

The Abyss, with its higher power ceiling, operates under rules that differ greatly from those of the main plane. Even something as simple as city building is completely different; it's not detailed here, but rather emphasizes the powerful flying brick.

Lear nodded, then looked around. In his vision, he saw a million-strong demon army, gathering around the mountain like a tide.

Be ready to launch an attack on the city ahead at any time.

"These troops."

Tullos nodded.

"Your Majesty, these troops were previously subdued and are used in this siege. Life is the least valuable thing in the abyss."

The Abyss Sea produces massive amounts of Abyss Worms every moment. These worms devour each other and transform into demons, which are then sent to various planes. There is no need to worry about the demons being wiped out.

Even the tyrannical monarchy plane that was previously slaughtered by the Goddess of Misfortune has become prosperous again in just a few months.
Lear nodded thoughtfully.

"Attack! I'll deal with those two evil gods when they come out."

"Yes!"

Tullos immediately felt emboldened and waved his hand vigorously.

A demigod-level demon commander nearby immediately sounded the war horn.

Woohoo~
A deep sound echoed through the sky.

The surrounding demons immediately let out low roars, and then charged towards the rocky city in front of them like locusts.

The entire sky was covered and shrouded by demons.

At the same time, sensing the enemy's approach, a massive number of demons also flew out from the Magic Stone City, and the two sides fiercely fought each other in mid-air.

The battlefield was exceptionally brutal and insane.

The stench of blood stimulated the nerves of all the demons on the battlefield.

Lear saw some demons kill their opponents, then bite into their bodies, tear off chunks of foul-smelling flesh, chew them up, and swallow them whole.

Some demons thoroughly enjoy the feeling of ripping out and crushing the heart of their victims, while others prefer to suck out brain marrow.
The scene was filled with bloodshed and brutality, making one's scalp crawl.

An ordinary person seeing this scene would probably be scared to death.

Moreover, the battle was extremely chaotic. He even saw some demons go berserk and attack their companions without regard for anything else.

Everywhere was a scene of chaos and madness, full of the characteristics of the abyss.

However, with the power of the three gods, the demon army still managed to violently break through the defenses of the Magic Stone City and begin to enter the city.

Lear waited silently, but unexpectedly, even after the demon army had slaughtered the enemy and occupied the entire Magic Stone City, the two Abyss Dukes did not appear.

This made him glance at the three people beside him.

Tullos looked slightly embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, we confirmed they were inside the city before our attack."

Now that the city has been captured, and there's still no sign of them, it can only mean that the enemy has already fled.

Demons, though cruel and bloodthirsty, are by no means stupid. Their cunning is not much less than that of devils; they are just naturally chaotic, a fact that outsiders often overlook.

When things seem hopeless, running away is perfectly normal.

Lear nodded without saying anything, his gaze continuing to fall on the city built of massive stones ahead.

After observing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Have the troops withdraw."

Upon hearing this, Tulos's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty has made a discovery?"

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the troops to leave.

The remaining 400,000 to 500,000 demons immediately flapped their wings and scattered in all directions, emptying the entire city in no time.

Seeing this, Lear slowly extended his right hand.

At that moment, pure golden light pierced through the sky!

Call ~
Everyone's hearts trembled violently, feeling an boundless fighting spirit surging from all directions, as if an ancient war god had descended across time and space.

They felt as if their souls were about to collapse and shatter under the crushing force of this aura!
Snap~ Boom~
Golden light flashed, the earth trembled, the sky shook, and a terrifying roar resounded.

The enormous city of magic stones was split in two!
A massive crack tore open hundreds of meters into the city and extended hundreds of meters underground!

From the outside, it gives people a strong sense of awe.

With a single hand, one can split the heavens and the earth; this is the supreme power of a god!
The next moment, boom! Two extremely terrifying auras surged out from the exaggerated cracks in the earth.

Those two Abyss Grand Dukes were actually hiding beneath the Demon Stone City!
But after they revealed themselves, they did not hesitate at all, splitting up to the left and right and fleeing frantically.

I was so scared!

Seeing this, Lear calmly turned his hand over and suddenly clenched it.

The next moment, a vast force, as powerful as a collapsing mountain or sea, and as if the heavens and earth were tilting, surged violently from all directions and converged towards the center.

The two evil gods, who were fleeing in different directions, crashed heavily into the invisible barrier, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

They were terrified, sensing something was wrong. They immediately exhausted all their divine power, unleashing tremendous force to attack the area in front of them.

With a single punch, the void shattered, and space itself was obliterated!

But this attack, capable of shattering a mountain, crashed into that invisible wall of energy and shattered instantly.

It's like an egg hitting a rock!

The two men's expressions changed drastically, and just as they were about to launch a second attack, a pure golden light shone brightly in the sky.

Everyone's vision was blurred.

When everything returned to normal, the two terrifying Abyss Dukes had been reduced to a pile of broken flesh and blood.

Then, Lear waved his hand, and the flesh and blood vanished without a trace.

He glanced at the three subordinate gods, said nothing, and turned back to the main plane.

At this moment, only hundreds of thousands of shocked demons and three gods—Tulos, the Flesh Slayer, and the Spider God—remained.
After a brief experiment, Lear gained a new understanding of his own strength.

After advancing to the level 30 superior divine power, his strength has exceeded the limits that ordinary people can imagine.

Even beings with only a faint divine power are no stronger than lambs in his presence.

Feels good. (End of Chapter)
