Apotheosis

Zen couldn't help but sigh. After all, he still knew too little about the Other Shore.

In the beginning, he had entered the Other Shore only to obtain the Other Shore Tokens so that he could gain control of stronger powers.

He didn't expect that the forces on the Other Shore were far more complicated than he had imagined.

He was still communicating with the Regal Jade Spirit when Geoffrey, who stood beside him, had started to grow impatient.

"Hey! You said you would take me as your disciple!" Geoffrey reminded the Regal Jade Spirit a bit harshly. "Don't be rude, Geoffrey," Zen shushed him.

The Regal Jade Spirit was known to be quite kind.

Not only that, but it always did what it had promised.

"Buzz..."

A green light flashed in the Civilization Artifact, and turned into a green square that was as tall as a person. The whole square looked like a piece of high quality jade.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Crisp crackles filled the air as the jade's surface trembled. Some green colored debris fell off from it, then the jade finally turned into a middle-aged man who looked like an exquisite sculpture.

"This is you..." Geoffrey's eyes were as wide as saucers as he gawked at the figure.

A smile dawned upon the Regal Jade Spirit's lips. He then turned to Zen and said, "Would you mind if I make a body and manifest myself in the human image while I stay in your inner world?"

Zen cupped his hands towards the Regal Jade Spirit and said, "You are being too polite. Of course I won't mind."

The Regal Jade Spirit looked around. When he saw the brown chaotic sea, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. "The sea of this world..."

His sentence, however, was left unfinished. "What do you want to say?" Zen asked in confusion.

The Regal Jade Spirit flew down from high in the air and went straight into the chaotic sea. He stretched out his hand and took a handful of the sea water and said, "Is this the sea water transformed from chaotic energy?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Zen asked curiously.

The brown sea water boiled in the hand of the Regal Jade Spirit. It wasn't long before it turned into a trace of chaotic energy and dissipated. It made the Regal Jade Spirit even more surprised. "How exactly was your inner world formed?" he asked.

The reason Zen's inner world acted like such was all because of the Primal Chaos Technique his master Bromley had given him. He had directly replaced the life vitality in his inner world with chaotic energy.

"I cultivated a secret technique back then and that's why it has become like this," Zen replied frankly. After all, there was no need to keep it a secret anymore.

The Regal Jade Spirit's face became even more unreadable. "You cultivated a secret techn

sperson of our Regal Jade Civilization and you were even not qualified--but now, things seem to be getting more and more interesting," he continued.

The Regal Jade Civilization had been hiding in Stage Thirteen for a long time, and the Regal Jade Spirit also felt that there wasn't much time left. Choosing Zen to be their spokesperson was just a makeshift plan, but as the Regal Jade Spirit got to know more about him, he discovered that Zen was not as simple as he seemed.

While Zen discussed things with the Regal Jade Spirit, the divine land on the other side of the chaos had already traveled through the boundless chaos for a long time.

The divine land was like a bright gem that traversed through one chaos cloud after another. It was impressive considering that those chaos clouds were unimaginably large, and it usually took several months for the divine land to pass through a chaos cloud at its normal speed.

Before Zen left the divine land, he had handed the Sun-resisting Umbrella over to Mike. However, it was Timotheus who actually controlled which direction the divine land would go.

Timotheus stood in the sun, his hands controlling the four rings as his consciousness floated to the outside of the divine land. His eyes paid close attention to the surroundings of the divine land.

It was actually boring to control this divine land. There were no sceneries in the boundless chaos, but Timotheus was extremely responsible in doing his job. He hadn't even blinked in the past few months and maintained the same posture all the time.

Suddenly, he sensed something strange. "What's that?" he muttered. His eyes quickly widened when he realized what it was.

When the divine land passed through a chaos cloud, a huge tombstone emerged from behind it. The tombstone was as large as the entire divine land!
