The Growth of a God

Chapter 365: Ghost Egg
"So, I am actually a demigod of the 'Thunder Priesthood'?"

After listening to the mandrill's story, Kuilong, who had already stepped into the thunder pool at the mountain pass, said so.

This is the center of the entire mountain pass and also the place where countless blue dragon embryos gather.

Everywhere you look, charred debris can be seen, but the newly born blue dragons are within reach.

Under the cruel law of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Those newly born blue dragons abandoned the innocence and naivety of all young creatures, and roared and bared their teeth, intimidating their fellows nearby.

Some smarter young black dragons simply feed on the remains of their own kind nearby, thus starting the first stage of their lives.

"In our Shanhai Realm, there is no such thing as a 'lightning priesthood'..."

"At least before the Creator selected the 'Apostle of Thunder and Lightning', no god dared to call himself the 'God of Thunder and Lightning'."

Unable to bear the sight of the young black dragons eating their own kind, the mandrills seemed to lower their voices a lot.

"I think your ministry may be in more specific areas such as electromagnetic waves, electric induction, electric light, electric current, etc...."

The concept of "Thunder" is too broad.

Under the control of the Heavenly Dao system, "Thunder" is basically impossible to be used as a prefix for a single priesthood.

On the contrary, the sub-fields related to thunder and lightning are likely to become the normal prefixes for the related demigods.

As far as the mandrill knows, the famous "Electromagnetic City" in the Shanhai Civilization was built by a demigod who also holds the "electromagnetic priesthood".

It was also with the promotion of that demigod that the Shanhai Civilization's electricity technology was able to catch up with the troglodyte civilization in a short period of time.

"A niche area?"

Opening his palms towards the thunder in the center, Kuilong just smiled without comment.

The next second, surging thunder instantly gathered towards Kuilong's arm.

sizzle...

If we say that the thunder in this area previously existed in a nearly liquid state.

Then when Kuilong controlled the thunder and gathered it in his palm, a pitch-black spherical lightning suddenly appeared in this world.

As highly compressed electrical energy, this ball of lightning contains enough energy to destroy an entire mountain.

After seeing this scene, the newly born blue dragons nearby all looked trembling with fear.

No one knows better than the blue dragons who are born with electricity storage cells the terrifying power contained in this ball lightning.

"What are you doing?"

Out of ghostly instinct, the mandrill, who was also a little frightened, asked.

"I want to see what is hidden under this thunder pond!"

Holding the ball of lightning in one hand, Kuilong directed his gaze towards a pillar not far away.

That was the core of the entire Thunder Pool, and also a section of spine left after the death of the Canglong.

It is because of the action of that vertebra that the thunder in the sky continues to strike down and gather in this pool of thunder.

However, this section of spine, which is theoretically "dead", actually shows a strange, living-like activity on its surface.

"What it is!?"

Although also staring at the same section of vertebra, the mandrill felt it more clearly than Kuilong.

Because under that vertebra, the mandrill clearly felt some kind of power similar to that of ghosts and gods.

"Whatever that thing is, my actions have alarmed it."

Walking slowly to the vertebra, Kuilong finally felt how huge it was.

In terms of Kuilong's body size, it is considered to be relatively tall among normal humanoid creatures.

But even with his height of nearly five meters, it was less than one-third of the height of this vertebra.

It can be seen that the owner of this vertebra was definitely one of the most powerful among the blue dragons even when he was alive.
It seemed to be aware of the malicious intentions of Kuilong and Mandrill.

The thing hidden in this spine finally couldn't help but show up.

In a wriggling motion that seemed like a living thing, a substance similar to the spinal cord in the spine automatically flowed out.

"Ghost matter?"

When the spine-like substances were completely formed, the mandrill immediately called out its name in shock.

This is a substance between the physical and the spiritual, a substance that should only appear in the netherworld.

However, what really surprised the mandrill was...

As these substances appeared in the mountain and sea world, they automatically formed an egg-shaped structure.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

It was a living egg similar to an egg.

On the surface of this fire egg, the distorted facial features that are clearly imitating those of a blue dragon are arranged in a staggered manner.

It seemed to be wailing, or roaring...

The distorted facial features on the surface of the living egg emitted meaningless roars, causing all creatures that heard the sound to unconsciously become upset.

Especially those newly born young blue dragons, each of them showed expressions of pain and struggle.

This is an attack from the soul, and it is also a malice that all non-spiritual life cannot resist.

Fortunately, the mandrill is not an ordinary creature. As a high-level ghost god, it reacted immediately and reached out to grab it.

Click!

In an instant, the living egg that was still howling suddenly made a crisp sound.

Now it was the turn of the living egg's distorted facial features to reveal an expression of horror.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the mandrill no longer cared about the expression of the living eggs, but struggled out of Kuilong's body with a heavy face.

"This is a ghost egg!"

"A forbidden egg that should never have been born!"

Looking at Kuilong's puzzled expression, the mandrill had no choice but to explain further.

"This thunder pond is not only used to breed young blue dragons, it also breeds the eggs of ghosts and gods."

"The Canglong clan possesses extremely high intelligence, and their souls are naturally powerful."

"This thunder pond hatches blue dragons in the most primitive way, and the souls of those blue dragons that fail to hatch will be absorbed by this ghost egg."

"Just think about it, how many Blue Dragon Islands are there in this nearby sea area?"

"Think about it again. After those blue dragons fall, will new blue dragon islands be formed?"

"If this cycle continues, can you imagine how many ghost eggs there are in this sea area?"

Upon hearing this, Kuilong instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Is this kind of devil egg... dangerous?"

Nodding in affirmation without hesitation, the mandrill emphasized in a tone without exaggeration.

"The Mountain and Sea Realm and the Netherworld are two worlds with completely different rules. The living and the dead are also two completely different forms of life."

“But this kind of ghost egg is trying to hatch natural ghosts and gods in the mountain and sea world.”

"The person behind the scenes is imitating the power of the Goddess of Death, trying to create a life form that can freely travel between the two worlds like the Huangquan Clan."
