Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 200 Classic Scenes
The moment Solus saw this divine spark, his breathing became somewhat heavy.

Without a doubt, this was the most precious treasure he had acquired during his time in the spirit world.

Even all other treasures combined cannot compare to the value of this divine essence.

Although it was only a fragment of a godhood, it was still one of the most precious treasures left behind by many ancient gods.

This is not something the Alliance of All Spirits can easily digest; it is a rare treasure that would even tempt many gods.

Solus didn't know much about the realm of the gods either.

But he knew that the semi-divine artifacts used by gods and the legendary equipment used by many legendary extraordinary beings were not the same thing.

Legendary equipment generally only provides a certain boost to the legendary superhuman himself, or it can provide a certain boost to others during battle.

Moreover, they generally have their own limitations, such as only being able to function within a small range, which makes them quite limited.

However, semi-divine artifacts are different. Some semi-divine artifacts can even serve as the foundation of an entire civilization, bringing tremendous benefits to the development of the entire civilization.

Even the most ordinary semi-divine artifact is worth more than ten times the value of a legendary item of the same level.

He had once seen a semi-divine artifact, which was said to have been forged from a fragment of a divine core and placed in the heart of the furnace by the dwarves and the god of forging.

Even a single semi-divine artifact has brought tremendous benefits to the development of the entire Heart of the Forge.

According to the high-ranking officials of the Thousand Furnace Federation, this semi-divine artifact has increased the overall strength of the entire Heart of the Furnace by at least 20%.

As the capital of the Thousand Forge Federation in the material world, the Heart of the Forge is already extremely large, even exceeding the size of most civilizations in the Alliance of All Spirits.

The value of this semi-divine artifact, given its remarkable effects, is self-evident.

If this incomplete divine spark could also be used as a core to forge a semi-divine artifact like that, then that would be a bit of an exaggeration.

He's not a god and shouldn't need a demigod artifact, but other gods would certainly be willing to offer a reasonable price for this incomplete divine spark.

By then, the research institute will no longer have to worry about research funding.

Thinking of this, Solaus's smile grew even brighter.

This trip to the spirit world was absolutely worthwhile.

Just then, a jet-black dagger suddenly appeared and slashed towards Solaus's neck.

The imagined scene of a head falling to the ground did not occur, before the dagger actually made contact with Thoraus.

A tremendous force erupted from Solus's body and swept outwards.

At this moment, Solus had transformed into a human-shaped sun, indiscriminately radiating terrifyingly high temperatures capable of melting all matter in the world.

During this process, the color of the jet-black dagger changed slightly, as if it were about to melt, and it made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

Without continuing the stalemate, the black dagger vanished instantly.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Solus's eyes were cold; he had no intention of letting the other party off so easily.

The opponent's attack did not actually pose any threat to him.

However, if it were just an ordinary legendary figure or a veteran legendary figure, facing a sudden and deadly attack, they might really have to die right there.

Even deep within the spirit realm, one rarely encounters other legendary extraordinary beings.

However, Solaus still experienced several battles over these treasures in the past few days.

After all, these treasures had been radiating brilliant light before they got their hands on them.

It's not surprising that a legendary superhuman could see it from hundreds of kilometers away.

Moreover, there are actually more legendary extraordinary beings in the depths of the spirit world compared to other places.

It's quite normal for a single treasure to attract several legendary extraordinary individuals at the same time.

In this situation, the many legendary extraordinary individuals naturally wouldn't care about first come, first served; they would all rely on their own abilities.

Even if they were to rely on their own abilities, it wouldn't be necessary for them to attack each other with the intention of killing each other.

This attack on Solaus was clearly aimed at taking his life.

The reason, of course, was the incomplete divine spark in his hand.

After putting away the fragmented divine spark in his hand, Solus slightly raised his hand, and an attack radiating endless light landed in the distance.

As a Soul Editor, and a top-tier legend at that, Solus's methods are considered all-encompassing among the extraordinary.

That is why his attacks are perfectly designed to counter attackers from a distance.

Under the sweep of endless light, the attacker, who had been hiding in the shadows, was forced to reveal his true form, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Solus.

As a legendary shadow assassin, his greatest strengths lie in launching surprise attacks and escaping.

Throughout his assassination career, he always made sure to run away if his first strike failed.

And this ultimate strike, which utilizes all his assassination skills, is naturally not so easy to break.

Before he truly became a legendary superhuman, he had already assassinated legendary superhumans and succeeded.

Even if the assassination fails, he can still escape successfully.

Unexpectedly, this time they ran into a tough opponent.

Before the assassination, he had already seen Solus use the Hand of Souls to capture the shooting star.

Those extraordinary beings in the realm of the soul fear assassins like him the most.

That's why he was confident in launching an attack.

As long as the opponent is not a supreme legend or even an eternal being, he has enough confidence that he can successfully escape even if the assassination fails.

He never imagined that a transcendent being in the realm of the soul could unleash such a powerful method specifically designed to counter him.

Not only did the strongest level fail to produce any effect, but it was also powerless to even try to escape.

Just as Solous's attack was about to strike again, the legendary Shadow Assassin quickly spoke up.

"I am willing to pay a sufficient price to apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive my offensive behavior."

Before Solous could respond, the other party threw out several treasures, all of which were legendary and extremely valuable.

Solous did not respond at all to these words.

After casually putting away those treasures, various powerful attacks continued to rain down on the opponent.

If his attack hadn't been aimed at killing him instantly, Solaus might have spared his life.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, and conflicts arising from interests could naturally be resolved with sufficient mutual benefit.

However, the attack that the other side just launched cannot be resolved simply by pursuing interests.

Besides, as long as the other party is killed, all these treasures will be his.

Seeing Solous's lack of restraint, the legendary shadow assassin's expression grew increasingly anxious. His strength was already only that of a senior legendary, and after being forced to reveal his true form, his power was greatly reduced.

Solus, however, possessed top-tier legendary strength and employed methods specifically designed to counter him.

In just a few breaths, he developed numerous injuries.

If Solus doesn't stop, he will be killed on the spot in no time.

“I am a member of the Truth Council, you cannot do this…”

Before the legendary Shadow Assassin could say anything more, Solous struck his heart with a single blow, unleashing immense power that instantly robbed him of all life.

Solus paid no attention to the Council of Truth that the legendary Shadow Assassin had mentioned at the end.

Forget about truths; since the other party attacked him with the intention of killing and stealing his treasure, he should be prepared to be killed in return.

Unless the other party is also a member of the All-Spirit Alliance, it won't work no matter what faction they come from.

However, as far as he knew, the entire All-Spirit Alliance had already conquered several primary realms.

However, the intelligent life in these primordial realms has long since completed the conversion of faith, and special civilizations like the Spiritforge are unique in the entire Alliance of All Spirits.

Therefore, the other party is definitely not a member of the All-Spirit Alliance, so Solous naturally has no worries at all.

"Is this a curse? Or some kind of mark?"

After killing his opponent, Solous collected his spoils.

But he soon discovered something strange deep within his soul.

A mark appeared deep within his soul, yet it had no effect on him, as if it were a part of his soul.

If he weren't an extraordinary being in the realm of the soul, he wouldn't have been able to discover the existence of this mark so quickly.

With a thought, Solus was about to remove the mark.

Although the mark had no effect on him, Solus knew without a doubt that it must have come from the so-called Council of Truth.

He killed members of the Council of Truth, and this mark may be some kind of means used by the Council of Truth for location tracking.

Although Solus was not afraid of the so-called Council of Truth, he preferred to avoid trouble and did not want to face any possible retaliation.

The Alliance of All Souls doesn't favor revenge-themed books.

The strategy is to take down the younger generation first, then the older ones, then the even older ones, and finally wipe out the entire enemy force, reaping huge benefits in the process.

Solus had absolutely no idea about this plot.

But soon, Solus frowned.

This mark resides deep within one's soul, but Solus, as a transcendent being in the realm of the soul, is even a soul editor skilled in modifying souls.

There was absolutely no way to deal with the existence of this mark.

I tried many methods, but I still couldn't remove the mark.

This made Solus realize that the so-called Council of Truth was probably a force far beyond his imagination.

However, he was not alone. Behind him was the entire Alliance of All Spirits, and there were also many gods, so he had nothing to fear.

Besides, it was that legendary shadow assassin who attacked him first; he was merely reacting passively.

Without dwelling on it any longer, Solus quickly left the spot and continued his treasure hunt deep within the spirit world.

Just three days after he killed the legendary Shadow Assassin, dozens of legendary superhumans appeared before him and surrounded him.

"What do you mean by this?"

Solus remained calm in the face of the dozens of legendary superhumans who had suddenly appeared.

Even though the other side also had several top legends, Solous was not afraid at all and instead took the initiative to question them.

Faced with Solus's questioning, the legendary superhuman opposite him was also somewhat surprised.

Surrounded by dozens of legendary superhumans, instead of thinking about escaping, he even had the audacity to question them.

Is this a genuine display of confidence, or a failure to recognize the current situation?
“We are from the Council of Truth. You killed members of our Council of Truth and you should pay the price.”

Solus's gaze remained unchanged; the fact that the other party came from the Council of Truth was not unexpected to him.

After all, without the mark deep within his soul, it would have been impossible for so many legendary superhumans to come looking for him at the same time.

"What price? What price?"

"Hand over all the spoils of your trip to the spirit world and serve as a slave in the War Slave Department of the Truth Council for five hundred years to atone for your crime of killing members of the Truth Council."

Upon hearing this, Solus laughed instead of getting angry.

This so-called Truth Council is indeed quite arrogantly exaggerated.

"He attacked me first, and I was just retaliating. Is that wrong?"

The superhuman on the other side spoke again.

"But he has already declared his identity as a member of the Truth Council and is willing to pay the corresponding price."

“You still persist in your accusations, which is an act of contempt for the dignity of the Council of Truth and a grave offense of disrespect, which must be severely punished.”

Solus had no interest in arguing with the other party any further.

"Whether you want a broken godhood or revenge, just do it. I want to see just how much authority your so-called Council of Truth really carries."

He does indeed possess a flawed divine nature!

This is the common thought of everyone on the other side.

The fact that so many of them gathered together was certainly not to uphold the authority of the Truth Council.

However, the legendary shadow assassin only managed to send Solous's information to them at the last moment.

It was only when faced with the immense temptation of a flawed divine status that they gathered together to attack Thoraus.

They couldn't confirm whether the information about the legendary Shadow Assassin was true, but so many legendary superhumans had gathered together.

Even if the opponent is a top legend, nothing unexpected is likely to happen.

Even without the incomplete divine essence, the other party must have gained something during this period.

Before entering the spirit world, the various factions had an agreement not to harm anyone's life.

But since the other party has already violated this agreement and has been located by the Truth Council's mark, they will naturally not hesitate to take action.

The entire fortune of a top legend, along with the many gains he made in the spirit world during this period.

Even if it were divided among dozens of legendary figures, it would still be a considerable fortune.

Now, with the addition of a flawed divine essence, it becomes an even greater fortune.
