Chapter 157, Section 154: [The Divine Court] [The End]

Five minutes later.

Inside the tower of the mage, An Kai suddenly understood.

He never imagined that he would be scammed by the "Heart of the Sea God"...

This damned first level of the Divine Court, the Heart of the Sea God. It forcibly binds itself to me without even asking if I agree.

This binding is similar to the deep binding of the "top-tier" quality.

However, it's somewhat different from the deep bondage brought by the [Lazar Mage Tower]...

It was only because the Heart of the Sea God had confined him to that area.

This prevented Ankai from escaping this place.

If you want to break free...

Requires Rank 7...

To this day, let alone seventh rank, Ankai doesn't even know what sixth rank is...

He is still struggling to advance from the fifth rank to the sixth rank.

They must endure the trials of "the power of heaven and earth" every day...

Sudden.

An Kai's expression hardened.

"That old dog Donglin said I can't leave this place, could it be because of this?!"

If Donglin knew what Ankai was thinking, he would definitely cry foul.

He had assumed that An Kai, like him, was cultivating the [Divine Court Spirit-Awakening Technique], which was why he said An Kai couldn't leave.

Because of cultivating the [Divine Court Spirit-Giving Method - Awakening], after the first stage of awakening in the Divine Court, one will be actively absorbed by the Divine Court.

By then, I definitely won't be able to leave.

Furthermore, what's bound to Ankai is the [Heart of the Sea God]!

This was something even Donglin dreamed of. If he could have bound himself to the Heart of the Sea God, Donglin wouldn't have died...

If Donglin, who is already dead, knew that Ankai utterly despised the Heart of the Sea God, he might jump up in anger and punch Ankai in the knee...

...

Inside the Mage Tower.

An Kai calmed down.

Carefully contemplate the Heart of the Sea God, attempting to find a way to break free.

He already avoided the Divine Court like the plague, and now, faced with the Divine Court's important possession, the Heart of the Sea God, he was even more unwilling to have much contact with it.

But as he came to this realization, An Kai's heart sank to the bottom...

A moment later, he suddenly laughed, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider…

The Heart of the Sea God truly lives up to its reputation as the most important item in the First Level of the Divine Court.

He controls the restrictions of the Divine Court.

The system notification indicated that the first layer of restrictions had been activated, and that was indeed the case.

The seven former desert kingdoms, now within the first layer of the Divine Court's territory, have activated the restrictions left behind by the Divine Court!

Those with strength above or at least at the sixth rank are not allowed to enter.

Those who force their way in will be met with a devastating attack from the Divine Court's foundation!

In other words, within the current first level of the Divine Court, the strongest individuals are only those with the [Body Strengthening/God Forging] profession.

It's no exaggeration to say that with that kind of strength, Ankai could crush a whole group.

Furthermore, the strength of this restriction is altered based on Ankai.

Once he finishes the spirit infusion and enters the [Body Strengthening] or [Spirit Forging] realm, the first level of the Divine Court's restriction will be unlocked up to the sixth rank...

Coincidentally, Ankai's strength was not upgraded in the traditional sense.

Once you accumulate enough, you will naturally improve.

Every time his strength improved, it was because he actively added points to his character.

If An Kai doesn't actively add points, his strength won't improve.

After all, he was just a [Lv1 Apprentice Mage]...

This restriction greatly enhances Ankai's security.

Even the Heart of the Sea God probably didn't anticipate that Ankai's strength would increase entirely under his control...

From this perspective, even if he couldn't leave, Ankai didn't think it mattered.

After all, he had a full understanding of his own abilities…

Besides, after the Heart of the Sea God was bound to Ankai, it prevented Ankai from entering the true First Level of the Divine Court to cultivate.

However, Ankai still gained some benefits.

The most obvious change is that with each transformation of the "Power of Heaven and Earth," the progress of the empowerment has increased from "0.02% to "0.04%!"

It's doubled compared to before!

In addition, there have been improvements in the absorption and comprehension of magical elements.

However, these are all invisible improvements that cannot be directly observed.

Besides all of these, what truly brought a smile to An Kai's face was the [Spell Fusion] that the system extracted from the [Heart of the Sea God]!

[Spell Fusion: Allows you to combine spells with similar attributes.]

The introduction seems very simple, and the functions are also very limited.

It's about integration.

Combine spells with similar functions.

For example: attack spells with attack spells, defense spells with defense spells, and support spells with support spells.

After merging, the effect will not be greatly improved; it will remain the same as before.

Ankai didn't care about any of this.

What really caught An Kai's attention was something else!

Even if three [Lv44] level spells are fused together, the resources required to upgrade the fused spell will not triple!

The same resources as before!

In other words, if Ankai were to combine [Magic Armor], [Elemental Defense], and [Freezing] together...

He only needs to consume the resources used to increase the proficiency of [Spell Armor] to upgrade three spells at once!

This is what Ankai truly values!

Keep in mind that each level of spell proficiency he gains now requires 18000 skill points + 10 mid-grade magic stones!

Now the seven kingdoms have become a vast ocean, and the good family has become an isolated island!

How many resources will Ankai be able to obtain?

Even if he can control the first level of the Divine Court's restriction, how can he continue to have his strength advancement blocked by resources?

Therefore, it wasn't until Ankai comprehended the [Spell Fusion] that a smile returned to his face...

The spell fusion extracted by the system from the Heart of the Sea God has greatly enhanced him, especially in his current state!

"That old bastard Donglin isn't bad..."

An Kai muttered something to himself and then smiled.

With a thought in mind, he prepared to experiment with [Spell Fusion].

After much deliberation.

Ankai chose to fuse [Magic Armor], [Elemental Defense], and [Freezing] first…

In an instant, it was as if a staff appeared before An Kai's eyes. The staff tapped the air three times, and three beams of magical light instantly merged together...

[The fusion of Magic Armor, Elemental Defense, and Freeze spells is complete.]

[Spell Fusion is on cooldown... Cooldown time: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes.]

【Elemental Ice Armor Lv44 『Premium+』 『3200/3200』】

An Kai activated the [Elemental Ice Armor] with a thought.

In an instant, the [Magic Armor] armor, [Elemental Defense], and [Freezing] domain appeared simultaneously.

The effect remains the same; there hasn't been much change.

It remains the same as using [Magic Armor], [Freeze], and [Elemental Defense] individually.

However, this is equivalent to him releasing three defensive spells at once...

These are not important.

What made Ankai happiest was...

Resource consumption has truly become so low that only one spell is needed!

"It seems even this Divine Court mage is struggling with resource consumption!"

Cooldown time: 30 days.

Ankai's eyes rolled.

With the [Spell Fusion] ability, he had even more ideas.

Can the [Meditation] type of spell be combined with other "Mage Meditation" type spells?

Is there a limit to the effectiveness of spell fusion?

If not, he will only need to spend four or five spell proficiency resources to improve countless spells in the future!

Offensive spells, defensive spells, support spells, speed spells, "Meditation" spell...

Thinking of this, Ankai burst into laughter inside the mage tower…

His eyes were squinted into a slit!

"Donglin is such a good person!"

After finishing the experiment, Ankai walked out of the mage tower.

He...is not going to run away.

It's not because of the limitations of the [Heart of the Sea God].

Rather, it stemmed from a deep-seated reluctance to leave.

With the Heart of the Sea God, Ankai suddenly realized that he had a lot to achieve on the isolated island of the House of Goodness!

Whether they are alien races, top associations, or any other forces, to Ankai they seem to be a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

With a swift movement, Ankai emerged from the mage tower.

It appeared outside the city of Good House, which was under repair.

He tossed the [Donglin Spiritual Enlightenment Method] in his hand to Widow Wang.

"I checked it for you, it's a good spirit-infusing technique."

Widow Wang held it in her hand, closed her eyes, and pondered for a long time!

Her expression suddenly became agitated!

After searching for so long, something so vital to her and her race, was obtained so easily…

Looking at the nonchalant An Kai, Widow Wang suddenly didn't know what to say.

No amount of words can express her feelings at this moment.

"An...An Kai...cough cough...I'm thanking you on her behalf...cough cough!"

"May your future be bright... cough cough cough!"

Hanks woke up in his wheelchair, looked at Ankai, and coughed uncontrollably.

I wanted to say a few words of blessing, but I couldn't bring myself to say them.

Upon seeing this, An Kai quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I know. Slow down, don't hurt yourself..."

"Cough cough..."

"Don't cough yourself to death..." An Kai almost blurted out.

At the last moment, he swallowed his words.

"My lord, everything is ready. We may depart now."

Malken stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Depart? Where to depart?"

However, An Kai blurted out a question.

Malken hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "Sir...aren't we...aren't we on a trip?"

As soon as Malken uttered those words, Ankai's face turned stern.

"Malken, this attitude is unacceptable!"

Beside Ankai, Malken, who had been looking down, was stunned. What was wrong with him again? He was just repeating Ankai's words!

He was about to say something when Wayne, who was behind him, seemed to notice something, stepped forward, tugged at Malken's sleeve, and signaled him to shut up.

as predicted.

The next moment, An Kai stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking towards the city of Good House, which is under restoration.

A look of pity appeared on his face:

"The Desert Humans have suffered such a calamity; how can we, as their leaders, leave at this time?!"

"We are their hope, their protector. Especially in critical moments like these, it's crucial that we remain here!"

"Malken, if I hear you spout such reactionary remarks again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

At this moment, An Kai seemed like a compassionate "god," his body radiating a dim light.

"good!"

"I will always support you, sir!"

"Your Excellency is so righteous!"

...

Suddenly, from the city gate, a deafening roar erupted from the many residents who were building the city walls…

An Kai remained unmoved, but secretly canceled the "Darkness [Light]" spell surrounding him...

Will-Bucklin showed Ankai through his actions.

A good reputation can bring benefits.

At this point, he simply imitated the characters and received a good response.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the city residents who were building the "House of Goodness" worked even harder.

A few simple, hypocritical words can be more effective than an hour of whipping.

At this moment, An Kai had a new realization.

Ankai was happy.

Malken was indeed extremely frustrated.

He stared at An Kai, mouth agape, completely bewildered...

He was certain that he and Ankai had only been apart for a dozen or so minutes, not months or more...

It wasn't like this just ten minutes ago!

"What...what...what happened?"

"Can anyone tell me?!"

Malken cried out inwardly, his face filled with confusion, as he followed Ankai toward the city of the House of Goodness…

Behind him, Wayne looked thoughtful.

Based on his understanding of adults, he knew that the adults had left earlier because they foresaw danger.

The danger is inevitably related to the sudden changes in the seven desert kingdoms.

Ankai's reluctance to leave led Wayne to suspect that Ankai had found a way to resolve the danger, and might even be able to profit from it...

Wayne pondered this as he followed Malken, noticing Malken's puzzled and confused expression.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, Malken is getting sillier and sillier..."

...

As Ankai passed by Hanks, he clearly saw a mixture of worry and joy on Hanks' face.

The concern stemmed from his belief that Ankai would be in danger if he stayed behind.

The joy comes from being able to be with this old friend in the final moments of my life.

An Kai glanced at it and, as usual, offered his "blessing": "What are you laughing at? I haven't even given you a wedding gift yet, how could I possibly leave?"

"As everyone knows, Ankai's word is his bond!"

"I promised to give you money as a funeral gift after you die, and I will definitely give you that money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, An Kai headed into the city...

The figure flickered and disappeared into the city.

Right behind Ankai, Wayne, who was apologizing to Hanks and Widow Wang on Ankai's behalf, heard Ankai whisper in his ear: "Come find me."

After apologizing, Wayne quickly ran in the direction Ankai had gone...

"Hmph! That kid's words are awful!"

"Hanks, you can live forever..."

Widow Wang was about to say something more when she felt Hanks gently patting the back of her hand, signaling her that she didn't need to continue...

Hanks had a smile on his face, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time.

Firstly, through An Kai's condition, he had learned that the danger An Kai was facing had been resolved.

Secondly, Ankai resumed his previous attitude towards him, and although his words were harsh, Hanks found them endearing.

Compared to An Kai's previous restrained words in order to avoid upsetting him, these were much more pleasing to the ear...

With a smile, Hanks leaned back in his wheelchair, basking in the scorching sun, and drifted off to sleep…

A short while later, a soft snoring sound came from Hanks' nose...

...

The next day.

Ankai discovered this in the [Side Story].

The restrictions on the Divine Court have been lifted, and the news has already spread.

All the major factions are selecting suitable candidates.

At the same time, the alien races also reached an agreement with the human race and other forces to jointly enter the development of the [Divine Court].

Ankai also discovers his own name in a side story.

There was a powerful figure offering a bounty, saying that whoever could capture him would receive a generous reward.

An Kai didn't recognize the item for the bounty, but seeing the responses from many people in the side quests, he knew it must be very valuable.

Five days later.

The alien races were the first to assemble.

The alien army, led by elves, dwarves, goblins, and black dragons, has assembled and is ready to officially step into the vast land of the Divine Court!

It is worth mentioning that, for some reason, the orcs did not send any troops.

Even though Ankai reported to the Orcish Kingdom through the Orc King and the Twenty-Eighth Orc Prince, Gulaier, the Orcish Kingdom remained silent...

There was no response whatsoever.

Previously, in a side quest, Ankai saw that the alien races held a joint meeting in order to enter the Divine Court, but the orcs were not present.

...

Orc Kingdom.

The Orc King's Secluded Training Ground.

The orc king, who was in seclusion, casually tossed aside an invitation to what he thought was a "United Conference of Alien Races".

"A bunch of fools. Can such a large alien race really unite so easily?"

The Beastman King wasn't stupid; he knew that the top alien races were so proactive in order to enter the Divine Court.

The idea was to take this opportunity to unite all the different races together.

They all wanted to be kings of these alien races!

Especially the Elf King…

Her opinion was the strongest!

The Orc King thought of this and felt disdain.

Without the participation of these orcs, the so-called "Alien Alliance Conference" is nothing but a pile of orc excrement!

He wasn't stupid; the Elf King could tell from the posture that he had been preparing for this day for a long time.

He would never join them and serve the Elf King...

Besides, do these fools really think the Divine Court is safe?!

His clones all perished there!

Thinking of this, the Orc King suddenly chuckled…

"You filthy bitch, let's see how your most favored disciple gets out of here after she enters the Divine Court!"

...

The next day.

The human race also acted very quickly.

After the top associations, such as the Mage Association and the Warrior Association, jointly selected the candidates to enter the [Divine Court], they arrived in the Desolate Region.

They took over the [Wilderness Development and Management Association], mobilizing individuals from various countries and forces within the Wasteland who met the requirements for entering the [Divine Court], and bringing them all to the [Divine Court].

As they recount in the side quest, their only enemy is a combined alien force…

Of course, they also bear the responsibility of finding "Ankai".

As for the faction An Kai belongs to, nobody cares, and nobody knows...

They deduced that the entire Divine Court must have been submerged in a vast ocean…

...

At the same time, the "organization" to which Donglin originally belonged also sent people to prepare to enter the "Divine Court".

Among them was the person who spoke with Donglin, whose strength was reduced to meet the requirements for entering the [Divine Court]...

...

【Divine Court】, a desolate island.

The House of Goodness has been rebuilt, but it is no longer called "House of Goodness" but "Chaos City"!

The original name has been restored.

The reason is that during construction, the name "Chaos City" was unearthed underground, and Wayne also suggested changing the name.

After all, the name "Good Household" sounds suspicious...

In Chaos City, Ankai emerged from the underground mage tower.

We arrived at the castle.

They drove away the orc prince Guleil, who was impersonating Ankai, and summoned Wayne.

"Wayne, our guests are arriving soon. How are the preparations?"

Wayne smiled confidently: "Don't worry, sir, I'll definitely make sure the guests are satisfied!"

Hearing this, An Kai smiled.

He had seen it in the side quests; those who came were all people from powerful factions.

They were all either rich or powerful, but they were all prime targets…

...

At Hanks' home.

"I'm going to find Ankai."

After speaking, Widow Wang turned and left.

He went to find An Kai to reveal his true identity.

This was also Hanks' suggestion...
