Chapter 320: The Faith of the Water Deity

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s body had been moving through the cosmic space for an unknown length of time. It was not until the power of the Primordial God within him receded back into his Primordial God form like a tide that he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a weak energy surged out from his body.
“Ah, although these powers have always belonged to me, I don’t know when I’ll truly be able to use them.”
Chen Xiao let out a slight sigh.
This was a quiet part of the cosmic space. Not far away was an enormous star, surrounded by seven planets. One of these planets was blue-green and brimming with vitality.
Chen Xiao moved, breaking through space, and in the next instant, he appeared on that planet.
This blue-green planet had conditions very similar to Earth’s. However, its inhabitants were still in a primitive stage. Although they had developed civilizations, their productivity was extremely low, and they had not even developed technology yet.
The moment Chen Xiao landed on this planet, his divine consciousness enveloped the entire planet, allowing him to see everything there.
“It seems that some deities have already arrived here and seized the faith…”
At the center of the largest continent on this planet stood a magnificent statue. All the inhabitants of the planet were intricately connected to this statue.
“Never mind. Just now, an immense power emerged from the Land of Origins—clearly the Primordial God has appeared. It’s better not to cause trouble for now.”
Chen Xiao moved slightly and descended into a primitive forest. He then found a quiet spot and sat cross-legged. His divine consciousness had already connected with the Primordial God’s space, where twenty powerful True Spirit God forms were floating.
Outside those twenty God forms, everything was entwined by the laws of the True Spirit God. Beyond those laws lay the true essence of the True Spirit God.
In the Nine Layers of Primordial Spirit, after the ninth layer, the nine Primordial Spirits converged to form the True Spirit.
With a thought from Chen Xiao, one of the True Spirits outside those God forms suddenly shattered. The laws of the True Spirit God associated with it slowly flowed into Chen Xiao’s body.
Whoosh!
The pale blue primordial spirit fire in Chen Xiao’s dantian instantly devoured all those laws of the peak True Spirit God.
“As expected, the further along it goes, the harder it is for the primordial spirit fire to evolve. Just one law of the True Spirit God isn’t enough to drive its evolution.”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Then, gritting his teeth, he allowed the remaining nineteen laws of the True Spirit God to flow into the primordial spirit fire as well.
Crack!
The primordial spirit fire suddenly emitted a sharp sound as those nineteen laws of the peak True Spirit God were devoured in an instant.
Immediately afterward, the primordial spirit fire moved slightly. Its originally ice-blue form was now surrounded by a purple glow.
Boom!
Chen Xiao’s spirit surged, and his Zìzài Tiān ascended to the fourth layer. The power of Zìzài Tiān drawn from the void also increased once again.
Moreover, the number of Primordial Spirits surrounding his Primordial God form rose from two to five!

Once the Primordial Spirit Fire was enhanced, it immediately raised Chen Xiao’s soul level to the fifth stage of the Primordial Spirit God, allowing him to unlock even more powers from his main divine essence. Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s spirit surged—he noticed two streams of faith energy coming from different directions and merging directly into his soul. One came from the Land of Origins, while the other seemed to originate from Earth, yet existed in a different spatial dimension. However, neither of these streams of faith energy was strong, far inferior to the terrifying faith energy he had absorbed when he first arrived on the Land of Origins. Chen Xiao realized that this must be the faith cultivated by the group led by Souhen on the Land of Origins, as well as the faith created by the ninth-tier Ghost King Xiaomang during his time in the Netherworld. “These forms of faith are still too weak. I don’t know when I’ll be able to open the main divine space and break through the barriers of the intermediate worlds; otherwise, my strength might increase even further,” Chen Xiao thought with melancholy. “Hm?” Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s mind stirred—he realized that two groups of people had somehow arrived in this forest at some point. One group was chasing, while the other was fleeing. The dozen or so people ahead were clearly cornered, covered in bloodstains, yet they kept running desperately. Among them was a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes, seemingly only five or six years old, being held by a blond woman as they rushed into the forest. Behind them were as many as three hundred people, all dressed elegantly and armed with weapons of considerable power. “Sinners who desecrate the gods! You have nowhere to run! Prepare to face divine punishment!” The leader of the pursuers was a sixth-tier supernatural being. Of course, these supernatural beings seemed different from those on Earth. Most supernatural beings on Earth were either born with abilities or awakened later, all inherited through their bloodline. But in Chen Xiao’s eyes, these people had all acquired their abilities through cultivation, and their bloodlines were no different from those of ordinary people on Earth. Moreover, their language was vastly different from Earth’s languages, but as a fifth-stage Primordial Spirit God, Chen Xiao quickly mastered their language through the flow of his soul. “Damn it! How could our whereabouts be exposed? Could there be a traitor?” Among those fleeing was a fifth-tier martial warrior, his eyes wide open as he cursed continuously. Boom! Suddenly, a huge fireball erupted in the sky and descended, creating a massive crater in front of the fleeing group, blocking their path. A fiery figure floated slowly in the air—it was an eighth-tier sorcerer. “The glory of the Fire God illuminates the earth; its light shines upon all mankind. Any water-based existence is an insult to the Fire God’s glory and must be eradicated.”

That eighth-tier fire-type curse caster descended from the sky, holding a massive staff in his hand. Light flashed atop the staff, ready at any moment to deliver a fatal strike to the dozen or so people below. The dozen people also stopped involuntarily, immediately shielding the middle-aged woman holding the blue-haired girl in the center. In the next moment, the three hundred priests behind them had caught up and surrounded them completely.

“Sinners who desecrate the gods, do you still have anything to say?”

The eighth-tier fire-type curse caster floated above their heads, looking down on them.

“Kill us if you want—why so much nonsense?”

The middle-aged man at the forefront glared coldly at the eighth-tier curse caster. On this planet, those at the eighth tier were known as saints—beings who had transcended the ordinary and soared through the heavens.

“Tell me the secret of that girl. The gods are merciful; they might spare your lives.”

The eighth-tier curse caster was nothing but an old charlatan, constantly referring to himself as a god.

“Dream on…”

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, forcing out those two words through his clenched jaws.

“You’ll talk.”

The eighth-tier curse caster sneered coldly. He waved his staff and said, “Seize them.”

Immediately, the more than three hundred priests rushed forward.

“Shh!”

Suddenly, the blue-haired girl in the middle-aged woman’s arms let out a soft cry. In an instant, the sky changed as three enormous water dragons, each ten meters long, descended with fangs bared, instantly protecting the dozen people at the center. The three hundred priests were blocked outside by these water dragons and unable to get close.

“Damn it! Such a young age yet possessing the strength of the seventh tier—I can’t let you live!”

In the next moment, the eighth-tier curse caster floating in the air roared angrily. He swung his staff, and three fire dragons descended from the sky, charging at the group, intent on destroying them on the spot.

“A natural water spirit body… a natural water god…” Chen Xiao sat on a green stone not far away, but strangely, no one could detect his presence.

“The water element is heresy—should it be eradicated? That fire god is truly arrogant.”

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He stretched out a finger and tapped lightly in the air. Instantly, a divine force of the water element flowed into the three ten-meter-long water dragons.

“Roar!”

The three water dragons were instantly transformed into living beings, letting out earth-shattering roars. Just their roars shattered the three fire dragons summoned by the old man.

“Pfft!”

Unison, the old man floating in mid-air, along with the three hundred priests, were forced to spit blood due to the roar of the water dragons. The eighth-tier old man suffered even more, plummeting from the sky in a pitiful state.

“What’s going on?”

The old man struggled to get up, staring in disbelief at the water dragons circling in the sky.

No one could have predicted such a turn of events. The blue-haired girl blinked her bright eyes, curiously watching the water dragons circling in the sky with an innocent expression.

“Are those of the water element considered gods-desecrators? Heh, ridiculous.”

Suddenly, one of the three water dragons spoke in human words, its mocking voice spreading across the entire planet. These three water dragons were creatures of the water element summoned by Chen Xiao from a world within the Primary God’s realm; they were not the water dragon attacks launched by that girl earlier. Now, Chen Xiao could freely summon any creature from lower realms into the external world. With the strength of lower-level Void Gods, these three water dragons could easily deal with mere mortals who were not even cultivators. Initially, Chen Xiao had no intention of interfering in the affairs of this planet, but he never expected it to be a world that rejected all water-based existence—how could Chen Xiao, as the god of water, tolerate such a thing? Not only Chen Xiao, but likely any water deity would rebel at such treatment. It was normal for deities to compete for worship, but rejecting all water-based beings and even killing those related to water cultivation was excessive. This was essentially one deity challenging another. However, after thinking about it, Chen Xiao realized that according to rumors, the ruler of water, Kanrelas, had fallen, and the gods and deities of the water element had lost their leadership. With water and fire being incompatible, it was only natural for the fire deities to expand their power and suppress the water element. Moreover, Chen Xiao noticed traces of water deities remaining on this planet—clearly, it used to be the domain of the Water God, but later, the so-called Fire God seized its worship. In the next moment, with the aid of the Origin Trail, Chen Xiao’s divine consciousness enveloped the entire galaxy. He found that all intelligent beings in this galaxy rejected the water element, and any water cultivators were killed. “How delightful…” Now that Chen Xiao had inherited Kanrelas’ status as the god of water, he saw these lands that should have belonged to him being seized by others, along with the rejection of some water deities—how could he not be angry? With the fall of the Water God Kanrelas, the power of water deities, both in the universe and on the Land of Origins, had been suppressed to its lowest level. Otherwise, when Chen Xiao visited the Land of Origins earlier, he would not have only absorbed a small amount of worship to elevate himself to the first level of Primordial Spirit God. “The worship of the Water God must be re-established on this planet…” Chen Xiao’s eyes sparkled at that moment. Boom! Sensing Chen Xiao’s anger, the three water dragons opened their mouths and spat out countless ice arrows, annihilating all 300 people instantly. “The Water God seeks to establish new rule. All fire-based beings on this planet are heretics… You three will now be the guardian dragon gods of this planet, leading these 13 people to establish the rule of the water deities.” Chen Xiao realized that there were no deities on this planet; its strongest being was merely a lower-level Void God, and these three water dragons were more than enough to kill him.

“Fools below, I am the divine dragon under the Water God’s command. By the Water God’s decree, I am here to eradicate heretics and restore the Water God’s glory!”
One of the water dragons, following Chen Xiao’s orders, spoke up immediately.
Below, those dozen or so people were stunned by what they saw. They never expected that just when they were at their wits’ end, an envoy of the Water God would appear.
From now on, this planet was destined to undergo a dramatic revolution, and the glory of the water deities in the universe would once again be established here.
…
“Heh, he really came. Just an ordinary god after all.”
Chen Xiao raised his head, and his body instantly appeared outside this planet.
“Who are you, daring to shake the rule of the Fire God? Your crime is unforgivable!”
The newcomer was a red-haired man whose body, like the sun, emitted light and heat as he angrily shouted at Chen Xiao.
“Take me to your so-called Fire God. I want to see what exactly dares to act arrogantly in the domain of the original Water God.”
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand, grabbed this fire god in his palm, and choked him by the neck.
“You…”
That fire god was also a peak-level god. He never expected that the other party could capture him just with a single encounter, even sealing off all his divine power. Unbounded fear rose in his heart.
“I… I’ll take you there…”
That fire deity wasn’t a man of backbone. Faced with strength, he chose to submit decisively.
“I wonder which of the seven great gods in the universe this is?”
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. Currently, the nominal rulers of the universe were the seven great gods like Emperor Jia. If anyone was suppressing the water deities and seizing their beliefs, in Chen Xiao’s view, it must be one of those seven.
However, Chen Xiao had forgotten that he had just used his dominion power to traverse the universe frantically until that power faded away.
Now, he had arrived in another star region. And those so-called seven great gods of the universe were merely gods of one star region.
The universe was boundless; even the Dominator didn’t know where its limits lay. How could just seven divine beings dominate the universe?
…
At this moment, that god obediently led Chen Xiao toward the center of this galaxy.
At the center of this galaxy was an enormous world. Though not as vast as the Land of Origins, it was still quite large.
“Good. This world must be inhabited by the original water deities, right?”
Chen Xiao instantly saw through the origin of this world—it was constructed from endless water divine power. But now, its surface had turned into a world of flames.
Such worlds existed in almost every galaxy. In the eyes of ordinary beings, this world was undoubtedly their divine realm, the dwelling place of the gods.
Yet, these gods knew well that the divine realm had disappeared countless years ago and had become nothing but a myth.
“Ecas, the planet under your responsibility has problems. Instead of fixing them, why have you come to the divine realm?”

The red-haired giant, the Fire True God Ecas, was stopped the moment he brought Chen Xiao to this world by a Fire Element Spirit God, who scolded him rudely. It was clear that a vast system of divine rule had already been established here, with True Gods merely being servants under these Element Spirit Gods, holding no real power. Chen Xiao looked at the Fire Element Spirit God before him and smirked coldly. Suddenly, he reached out and smashed its head with a punch, killing the Element Spirit God on the spot. Seeing Chen Xiao kill a First-Level Element Spirit God with just one strike, the Fire True God Ecas trembled violently. Remembering his own rude attitude toward Chen Xiao, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back. At that moment, the water-based power within Chen Xiao radiated forth unreservedly—five blue elemental halos appeared arrogantly behind his head, displaying the might of the Water God.
