Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

Crimson Core? What is that? Wait, what's going on with this god?

The once lifeless sphere suddenly began to disintegrate, turning into fine powder that drifted away in the wind.

Huh? What's this?!

The screams of the Star Silver Dragon ceased at that moment.

Krend, who was suppressing Little Silver, also sensed the dragon's change and gradually withdrew the divine power in his hands.

"Chu Ci, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You've already dealt with Shen Ji so quickly?" After saying that, Klend turned his head and looked at him with a smile.

Hmm? Something feels off.

Wait! Where is my great divine taboo?!

Meanwhile, Chu Ci, who was in the know, was staring blankly at the system notification.

[Congratulations on slaying a Divine Realm individual! You have made an outstanding contribution to the peace of "Divine Realm". You are rewarded with 100 Divine Realm Points. The Divine Realm Shop is now open.]

This achievement will be announced to all players. Would you like to hide your name?

"Wait, what? There's this notification thing? I haven't heard of it. Can't it be canceled?!"

【cannot】

"Then let's hide our names." Chu Ci had no choice but to comply. At that moment, Krend hurriedly came to him.

"The Songs of Chu, where is the divine taboo?!"

"Here you are."

Chu Ci pointed to the remaining red powder on the ground.

"This! Don't tell me you killed it." Krend asked incredulously without turning his head.

"Um... if it doesn't die even when it turns to dust, then I guess I haven't killed it yet."

Listen to what this is saying! What kind of thing is it that even after turning to ashes, it still doesn't die?

Both the old man and the young man were speechless at what they had just witnessed.

At this moment, Xiao Yin, who had returned to normal, slowly came to Chu Ci's side, lowered her head, and affectionately rubbed against him.

Thank you, Master, for saving me.

Once he realized what was happening, Chu Ci reached out and patted her head.

"It's good that you're alright."

By the way, what are these Divine Realm Points as a reward?

With one hand, he opened the Divine Realm Shop on the system panel, and the dazzling array of items inside left Chu Ci stunned on the spot.

He kept flipping through the shop with his fingers, seemingly unable to see everything in the store. It was as if everything in the entire divine realm that he could think of had a price tag.

Just then, Chu Ci suddenly saw something familiar.

"W-wh-wh... One bottle of Pure Dragon Blood, priced at 1 Divine Realm Point? When did this thing become so worthless? No, it's also possible that Divine Realm Points have ridiculously high purchasing power; isn't this what they call a universal currency?"

"Wow, I thought giving away only 100 Divine Realm Points and nothing else was a bit of a loss, but I didn't expect this stuff to be so valuable! I've hit the jackpot!"

"Wait, let me see what the most expensive item in this store is?"

[Ding, you do not have enough Divine Realm Points to view.]

Hey? You won't show me if I don't have enough money? You're looking down on consumers!

However, Chu Ci knew that his accusations were useless, so he turned to searching for something else.

[Divine Items]

【Heavenly Feather】: The feathers of celestial demigods possess a degree of power and divinity.

Price: 100 Divine Realm Points

【The Essence of the Sacred Tree】: Legend has it that this tree was planted by a god himself, and the essence it contains possesses pure vitality and a trace of divinity.

Price: 100 Divine Realm Points

……

The prices of the items then decreased, but the quantities remained staggering.

"I see. The items in the shop will only unlock areas that can be consumed. That means if I spend all my Divine Realm Points, the shop will be useless."

Should I buy it? Of course I'll buy it! Chu Ci doesn't consider herself the kind of person who hesitates.

Although this thing sounds difficult to obtain, it won't provide any help even if you just leave it there. Instead of just hoarding it, you might as well take it out now to improve your strength.

"Purchase the Feather of Heaven".

[Ding, Divine Realm Points have been deducted, and the item has been added to the system.]

[Ding! Divine item detected. Convert to Divine Points?]

"Transformation".

[The Feather of Heaven has been consumed; Divinity Points +100.]

[Can unlock special abilities or damage pathways.]

Is it a 1:1 exchange rate? But if so, only one method can be unlocked.

After all, both the trait path and the damage path have been upgraded once. This time, the trait path requires exactly 100 Divinity Points to upgrade, which is ten times more than the last time. However, the damage path only requires 5 points, which is only five times more than the 1 point required the first time.

However, only a fool would choose the path of damage. Ever since witnessing the power of the first path's permanent attachment, Chu Ci has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the second path.

"Please! Treatment must be prohibited, it has to be prohibited!"

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Chu Ci clicked "OK".

[Consume 100 Divinity Points to begin drawing the second trait.]

[Successfully extracted. Second characteristic: Healing prohibition.]

!!!

I actually got it! Now I don't have to worry about not being able to kill those monsters with terrifying healing abilities anymore.

In high spirits, Chu Ci prepared to return to Blue Star to rest. This time, he spent more time in "God Realm" than all his previous visits combined.

"Bishop Krend, since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

……

There was no reply from Krend; the other party remained in shock.

Seeing this, Chu Ci shook his head helplessly, put Xiao Yin into his pet space, and left.

……

Fulong Secret Realm Ember Volcano Cluster

A gray sky obscured the heavens, the earth was already cracked and cratered, and gushing lava enveloped this desolate region.

Deep within that place, two dragon bodies, each over a hundred meters long, lay dying.

The Flame Dragonborn was cut in half at the waist, and the Meteor Wind Dragonborn's wings seemed to have been forcibly ripped off and thrown aside. There were also hundreds of wounds of various sizes on its body.

Purple lightning, carrying an aura of destruction, swirled around their wounds.

Fei Yan stood on the dragon head of the Meteor Wind Dragon Descendant. Her brilliant purple hair had long since returned to normal, but upon closer inspection, cracks appeared on her face, signs that her body was on the verge of collapse.

"Cough! This Thunder Source Enhancement Potion really shouldn't be used carelessly; it almost completely destroyed my body."

She took out a bottle of medicine and immediately drank it down her throat. The cracks on her face slowly stabilized and showed no signs of continuing to crack, but it was still far from being healed.

At this moment, she slowly raised her hand, and several pieces of equipment immediately floated in front of her eyes; it was the Tree King Set.

"I thought the little guy's equipment looked familiar. It turns out it's the Tree King Set. I didn't expect him to have ventured to the deepest part of the Green Forest Swamp Secret Realm."

"The power dynamics in the southern countries change too rapidly. Apart from a few major powers that have remained prosperous to this day, so many years have passed. I remember that place is now called Bilin City, right? I wonder which small country controls it."

As she spoke, she took out another set of equipment.

If you read Chu Ci here, you'll find that the two sets of equipment are almost identical.

It is obvious that Fei Yan was one of the six people who killed the Swamp Tree King before him.

"Sigh, I really have a connection with this little guy. If I see him again, I'll return this equipment to him. But he probably won't need it anymore anyway. Sigh, I just hope he won't blame me for not protecting him properly."

Humans, do with us as you please, but must you humiliate us?!

The weak voice of the Meteor Wind Dragonborn came from below. Fei Yan immediately put away the two sets of equipment, her eyes turning from guilt to icy coldness.

"Dead? You just killed one of the little guys I had my eye on. Wouldn't it be too easy for you to die so easily?"

"What...what do you want to do?!" The voice of the Meteorite Dragonborn turned terrified.

Then, Fei Yan took out a bottle of purplish-black potion, slowly opened the bottle, and poured it onto the dragon head of the Meteor Wind Dragon Descendant.
