Chapter 131: The Glorious Temple

At this moment, Chen Xiao was at his weakest. His soul was damaged, and the time in the Main God’s Space had run out; he had lost contact with it.
What Chen Xiao needed to do now was to repair his damaged soul as quickly as possible. Yet, instead of relying on figures like the great immortals of the Chinese Soul, he chose the Thousand Souls Realm—or rather, the two Ye Dragons, whom he trusted the most.
The island in the Thousand Souls Realm remained as peaceful as ever. The wounds caused by the previous battle between the Ye Dragons had fully healed. Chen Xiao now understood that this was entirely due to the massive spiritual vein underground.
The island at the center of the Thousand Souls Realm served as the outlet for that spiritual vein. The primordial energy here was even denser than in other places, even denser than on Earth.
With no threat from a third Ye Dragon on the island, the green and blue Ye Dragons lay idly on the shallow waters by the lake. Chen Xiao often visited this place, and they had grown accustomed to his presence, showing no particular reaction.
Chen Xiao glanced at the two Ye Dragons, shook his head slightly, then found an open spot on the island and sat cross-legged. Immediately, the Zhou Tian Ming Gu method began to operate at full speed.
All kinds of energies around him transformed into specks of starlight, flying into Chen Xiao’s sea of consciousness and merging with his soul. The blue Main God entity in his sea of consciousness also emitted the power of the Main God, nurturing his soul.
By now, the human-shaped figure formed from the starlight in Chen Xiao’s sea of consciousness had long since disintegrated.
Summoning a Divine Master came at a tremendous cost.
It took a full day and night, with the combined power of faith, the power of the Main God, and star energy, to repair Chen Xiao’s soul damage.
The damage to his soul was extremely severe. If it weren’t for the Main God entity protecting his soul, any other supernatural being would have died instantly even from the slightest damage to their soul.
Until one reaches a certain level of cultivation, they are never qualified to delve into the realm of the soul.
Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
“Well, not only was my soul severely damaged, but my cultivation level was also on the verge of dropping. That Divine Master Chai Yunke is truly too powerful. But thankfully, it was just a fragment of his shadow. If he were summoned in his entirety, I would surely collapse right away.”
Chen Xiao shook his head, still feeling frightened. His mental energy level had almost dropped from the early fifth stage back to the fourth stage. Without the support of the faith energy from those supernatural beings earlier, he would likely have already reverted to the fourth stage.
“It seems that although the Divine Master’s shadow is invincible, it can’t be used frequently,” Chen Xiao mused. If it weren’t for the evil spirits trying to break through the spatial barrier and enter the mortal world, he would have left long ago.
At that moment, Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly. A pure stream of faith energy flowed into his sea of consciousness, continuously nourishing and sustaining his soul.
“Hm? What’s going on?”
Chen Xiao was stunned. “Could it be Xiao Mang? No, that can’t be. Xiao Mang are believers I developed. As long as they’re in the Netherworld, separated by a dimensional barrier, I don’t have the power to break through that barrier and absorb their faith energy yet…”

“Well…” In the next moment, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up.
…
Flame Soul Domain.
Above the sky, the gray mist that had seemed to cover it for billions of years now had a huge gap spanning hundreds of miles. Golden light shone down from this gap, illuminating the entire land.
Although only a short day had passed, Mo Changli acted without delay. All around, the numerous corpses of fierce spirits had not yet been cleaned up, yet atop the ruins of the former headquarters of the Flame Soul Domain’s Abnormality Users Association, a golden building had already been rebuilt.
This building was tall, grand, solemn, and majestic. It took ten high-level earth-type abnormality users a whole day and night to build it.
At the center of the main hall inside the building stood a huge statue thirty meters tall. The statue had only one enormous face, resembling a golden sun surrounded by countless clouds.
That face was unmistakably identical to that of the divine priest Chai Yunkē, who had shown miracles in the sky of the Flame Soul Domain the previous day.
A plaque with the four characters “Temple of Glory” hung in the center of the hall.
The sleeping divine priest Chai Yunkē didn’t know that he had now become the God of Glory, while Mu Mu, Gui Gui, and Meng Fei had become the three major Goddesses of Glory under him.
The endless flow of faith power that Chen Xiao absorbed came from the center of the hall, where people were worshipping the statue of the God of Glory.
They were all abnormality users, zombies, and ghosts who survived the bloody tide of fierce spirits the previous day. At this moment, they had no other way to express their gratitude except in this manner.
…
“President, does our Flame Soul Domain Abnormality Users Association still exist?” asked one of the elders beside Mo Changli, worriedly.
“Of course, the Flame Soul Domain Abnormality Users Association still exists,” Mo Changli replied with a smile. “As for this temple, it was built as a way to thank that unknown god for saving us. It also serves to protect the Flame Soul Domain.”
The elder nodded; he understood Mo Changli’s plan.
Now, with a huge gap in the sky above the Flame Soul Domain, golden light shone down, creating a vast area of sunlight spanning hundreds of miles. Such an area of sunlight would surely make everyone in the world of abnormal abilities envious.
But by building a temple to that unknown god here, it became a shield for the Flame Soul Domain.
Since the god had truly manifested, who would dare to show disrespect to him!
With a cold snort, all the fierce spirits within a thousand miles were destroyed, without harming a single other creature. Other than the gods, they couldn’t think of any other origin for that golden giant face.
“I have a feeling that our Flame Soul Domain will likely become the first city in the world of abnormal abilities and also its core.”
Mo Changli stood inside the temple and bowed slightly toward the statue at the center. The other elders also showed relief on their faces.

“This wave of blood-colored fiends, if my guess is right, must be caused by the Celestial Dragon Secret Treasures about to be unearthed. Our Yanhun Domain’s portal to other dimensions faces Jinghua City in the Huaxia Nation—it’s the domain closest to where the Celestial Dragon Secret Treasures are located, and it’s likely the root cause of this wave of blood-colored fiends.”

Mo Changli stared outside at the countless corpses of blood-colored fiends, lost in thought. “In my opinion, it seems our Yanhun Domain will never experience another wave of fiends again.” Mo Changli smiled. All the fiends within a thousand miles had been wiped out. Although fiends were not very intelligent, out of instinct, they didn’t dare approach this place.

“President, what if such waves of fiends appear in other domains…?”

“Su Lan, do you think blood-colored fiends are something above the seventh rank? Are they just ordinary creatures? With tens of thousands of them dying this time, it’s likely that in the world of supernatural abilities, blood-colored fiends will truly become a rare species from now on.”

Mo Changli curled his lips and said, “Also, I hope all the elders and leaders remember that the Glorious Temple is the Glorious Temple, and the Yanhun Domain Supernatural Ability Association is the Yanhun Domain Supernatural Ability Association—these two are completely unrelated.”

The elders nodded in agreement. They understood that such a temple built due to the manifestation of a true god was beyond their reach, and no faction in the world of supernatural abilities could take control of it.

The ‘Three Goddesses of Glory’ had appeared before the manifestation of the ‘God of Glory,’ saving countless supernatural beings’ lives. The appearance of the God of Glory was no longer seen as a coincidence in their eyes.

…

Chen Xiao walked through this massive temple, seeing the statues of Gui Gui, Mu Mu, and Meng Fei standing tall on the altar. He felt slightly dizzy. His subordinates had become gods revered by many—so what was he then? But for now, Chen Xiao was still a primordial god, the ruler of all gods.

“Still, this isn’t bad. Their faith in them can be used to my advantage.”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. But currently, not many beings worshipped the ‘God of Glory’—only those low-ranked supernatural beings who were saved during the wave of fiends. Their faith wasn’t as strong as what Xiu Mang had given him, which left Chen Xiao extremely dissatisfied.

“Mu Mu and the others aren’t very strong yet; they can only exert power at the eighth rank. If we ask them to recruit followers now, it might backfire if they encounter those reclusive elders…”

Chen Xiao pondered for a while before abandoning this tempting idea. When his strength reached the seventh rank and Mu Mu, Gui Gui, and the others could exert power at the ninth rank, that would be the time when the Glorious Temple spread throughout the world of supernatural abilities.

“But for now, I need to find a charlatan to help me manage things… Ah, that guy Shideli seems promising—he has the potential to be a charlatan.”

One after another, plans took shape rapidly in Chen Xiao’s mind.

“Dareful fool! Not even bowing in the Glorious Temple? Are you daring to despise the gods?”

Suddenly, an angry voice rang out. Chen Xiao followed the sound and saw a young man cursing at him violently. Chen Xiao recognized that young man as Li Chengfei, the one who had snatched the Heart-Revealing Grass from Ren Tong back then. Now, Li Chengfei was speaking ill of Chen Xiao, likely still holding a grudge over what had happened. In this grand hall, almost everyone was bowing in worship, with only Chen Xiao standing alone in a corner, making him an easy target. The supernatural beings in the hall who heard Li Chengfei’s outburst all turned to look at Chen Xiao with hostile expressions. Chen Xiao helplessly shrugged and thought about kneeling in front of the statue. If Gui Gui, Mu Mu, and Meng Fei learned that Chen Xiao was kneeling before their own statue, they would probably immediately commit suicide as an act of atonement. “The problem isn’t completely solved.” Chen Xiao shook his head and then said, “The glory of the God of Light envelops the earth; the God of Light is omnipotent. I am in awe of the glory of the God of Light and stood there in admiration at the majesty of the deity.” With that, Chen Xiao immediately severed all connections between the Main God Space and the outside world, then bowed slightly toward the statue. “And you, in such a solemn and sacred place, making loud noises, disrupting proper conduct, showing disrespect for the gods, and interfering with our devout worshippers’ sacrifices to the God of Light—this is blasphemy! Do you realize your crime?” Chen Xiao’s expression was extremely devout, his voice extremely gentle, far from being as sharp as Li Chengfei’s. …
