Fang Tutor was unaware that his gender had been changed, elevating him to the rank of a supreme existence among the Ancient Gods, the Forest Goddess.
After banishing the Great Lord Yujin, he used his residual strength to obliterate the sources of calamity within his divine sense's range. This process was as effortless as cleaning a toilet with a toilet bowl cleaner.
When one's power level is sufficient, sources of calamity that require laws and authority to deal with can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist.
Subsequently, Fang Tutor used the remnants of his residual strength to fuel the 'Spatial Shuttle' skill, instantly returning to the School of Embers, and then passing through the secret realm passage back to his own base.
...and then he collapsed.
"Fighting is exhilarating, and the aftermath is even more so."
Fang You bared his teeth.
He had experienced similar aftereffects before, and had been subjected to the immense pressure of the River of Time, feeling as though his body was about to be crushed, his soul utterly exhausted. However, through repeated exposure, he had gradually become accustomed to it.
With a few more such experiences, he would likely be able to withstand it without batting an eye.
...Not!
This burden on his soul had surpassed the limits that willpower could overcome. He could grit his teeth and force himself to sit up, stand up, and perform a set of Universal Bodybuilding exercises, but he lacked the energy to truly fight.
With this fighting style of "exploding for a few seconds, recharging for half a year," he wouldn't need many more times like this to advance to the demigod realm.
Once he ascended to demigodhood and forged a demigod body, his resistance would undoubtedly increase significantly.
With this thought, Fang Tutor sighed again. Lying in the dormitory of the Apostle of Destiny, he switched his perspective to observe the battlefield for a while. Seeing that there were no major issues, he began to recall the battle from 1 minute and 20 seconds prior.
The combat experience of the Ninth Realm was particularly precious, and in the recent battle, he had performed well, achieving greater results with less expenditure.
Well, it could also be said that the Great Lord Yujin was slightly weaker than the Lord of the Blood Lake.
"High-level existences wield authority; every word and action can invoke the power of laws, and they can use themselves as a fulcrum to leverage the infinite power of the world."
And the end of authority was dominion.
During the Kandra Era, a Pillar of the Nation once said: "Give me a dominion, and I can leverage the entire world."
Fang Tutor could not yet comprehend dominion, but through the recent battle and its application, he had gained a small glimmer of understanding regarding authority.
He saw that layer of membrane!
However, the distance was still vast, unreachable.
His use of authority was also still very rudimentary; defeating the Great Lord Yujin was purely a matter of overwhelming him with brute force.
And it was merely a defeat.
He did not lack the desire to completely kill the opponent, but he had an intuition that even if the Great Lord Yujin's body were completely shattered, he could still be reborn.
For high-level existences, physical disintegration seemed insufficient.
As for annihilation beyond the physical, he was not entirely sure. At that time, he had neither the time nor the conditions to attempt a simulation, so he chose the most reliable and stable method.
Sealing and banishment!
Fang Tutor referenced the epic skills 'Seal Lock' and 'Four Symbols Barrier', and further refined the Myriad Trees Supporting the Heavens world evolved by the Tree of Life.
Finally, he cast this seal into the endless spatial turbulence, letting it drift wherever it pleased.
And he made a wish, hoping that the Great Lord Yujin would drift to the Blood Moon faction, the Gloomy faction, and other such factions.
Hoping he would have an accident.
Hands clasped together.jpg.
However, whether he would have an accident or not, Fang You had no way of knowing. It was possible that the Great Lord Yujin would return from the spatial turbulence at any moment and bring more high-level existences, standing in a row, their boundless black colossal shadows engulfing the Yunhui Great Domain.
He remained wary.
Time passed, one day, two days, several days. The entire Yunhui Great Domain remained peaceful. There was no sign of any mythical beings or demigods from the Black River faction, as if they had all shamefully retreated.
This was not as predicted.
However, it was difficult to connect with the minds of the high-level existences of the evil god faction by using human reasoning.
After a few days of recuperation, Fang Tutor emerged from the Apostle's dormitory, went to the School of Embers, and then stepped out through the secret realm gate of the school.
Outside the gate,
Palaces were magnificent, and countless pure white high towers stood tall, their gentle light dispelling the thick gray mist.
Under the clear sky, agile pedestrians bustled about, calling out their wares, creating a lively scene.
Further in the distance, countless mountain-like evil corpses could be seen, appearing and disappearing in the gray mist. Many awakened individuals, alone or in groups, ventured deep into the evil corpses that resembled sprawling mountain ranges or seas of filth, searching for materials and drops left behind by the deceased evil beings.
Many high-level awakened individuals, devoid of any expert demeanor, eagerly entered, grinning foolishly.
It was now the time for harvest.
When the mysterious high-level existence 'killed' the Great Lord Yujin, it also incidentally obliterated many demigods and mythical beings of the Black River faction, as well as many sources of calamity rooted within the Yunhui Great Domain.
As expected, the Black River demigods and mythical beings besieging the School of Embers immediately fled in disarray.
Hei Dao, An Jianyou, and Qian Hong charged out, slaying many servants of the evil gods. Subsequently, the school and the scattered awakened individuals outside, relying on the pure sky curtain, annihilated tens of millions of evil beings outside.
This led to the current scene of scattered corpses everywhere.
These evil corpses constantly spread pollution, but at the same time, they were also hidden treasure troves. Within a seven-star evil being, one could even unearth legendary materials.
The thrifty An Jianyou and the greedy Xiao Huan had naturally already plundered the drops from the seven-star evil beings.
Especially Xiao Huan, who roamed through space, transforming into a digger and transporter, her efficiency extremely high. She stripped away every valuable part from the evil beings, leaving nothing behind.
However, there were simply too many evil corpses piled up outside the school. Moreover, the awakened individuals gathered outside the school had also made considerable contributions in this battle. After careful consideration, Fang You opened the 'scavenging rights' of the evil corpse piles to the public.
The School of Embers would only collect a small management fee.
This fee would not be kept by the school; he planned to distribute it to the awakened individuals who sacrificed their lives in this war. The battle led by Hei Dao commanding hundreds of thousands of awakened individuals was glorious, but the number of awakened individuals who died in battle was not small.
Some died from exhaustion, some were affected by the aftermath, and some accidentally strayed outside the military formation and died.
Dozens of students from the School of Embers also sacrificed their lives in this battle.
For the death of non-affiliated personnel, major powers always ignored them. They would not provide death benefits to these scattered awakened individuals. Some powers even wished for more mercenaries to die, so they could save a large sum of hiring fees.
"The School of Embers truly does things differently from other powers."
"Some say the School of Embers is foolish, perhaps it is, but I am willing to shed blood and sacrifice my life for such a power! In this disaster, only the School of Embers cares about us small fry and the small oases in various regions."
"When I return to the Frostwood Great Domain, I will definitely spread the deeds of the School of Embers."
"Me too!"
"Seconded!"
The awakened individuals traversed the mountains of corpses, discussing excitedly. Occasionally, someone would unearth a high-level treasure, causing bursts of exclamations.
Acts of killing for treasure did not occur outside the School of Embers.
The powerful individuals of the school were monitoring the area.
The awakened individuals had fought side-by-side just a few days ago, their passion still burning. They were incapable of acts of seizing treasures. Moreover, with time and energy to kill for treasure, it was better to dissect more evil corpses. Who knew if the next lucky person would be themselves.
Fang You also traversed the mountains of corpses. His white robe was spotless, a stark contrast to the predominantly gray and black corpses around him.
However, he seemed to be invisible. Even when passing through the bustling crowd, no one would spare him a glance.
Dean Fang glanced around, seeing a harmonious scene, and then turned his gaze towards the Rapids Port of the Yunhui Great Domain. After a brief positioning, he borrowed Xiao Huan's 'Virtual-Real Shuttle' skill and took a step forward.
*Buzz*
His landing point was still within the Luofeng Great Domain.
Fang You adjusted for a while, and as the spatial pressure dissipated, he took another step.
After taking several dozen steps consecutively, Fang You arrived at Rapids Port.
Several days had passed, and Rapids Port was still in a wartime state, although most of the functions of the super ritual formation covering the oasis had been shut down, leaving only a small amount of flowing water lingering.
It was still prosperous here.
The city had suffered some impact, with damaged buildings, but its core remained intact.
However, many flying vehicles were flying out of Rapids Port and disappearing into the horizon.
These were mostly the dignitaries of Rapids Port. When the servants of the evil gods had attacked fiercely, they had no time to escape. Now that the routes were clear and the siege was lifted, they were naturally unwilling to stay any longer, who knew if the servants of the evil gods would launch a second wave of attacks.
They fled to other cities in the Shuiman Kingdom and to the other six kingdoms.
But anyone with foresight knew that if Rapids Port, the gateway of the Shuiman Kingdom, were breached, the other six kingdoms would not be spared. However, according to Fang You's knowledge, the Shuiman Kingdom and the other six kingdoms were quietly transporting batches of their core personnel to outer regions.
This was not cowardice.
The foundations of the seven great kingdoms were all in the Yunhui Great Domain, and they could not escape. They did not hold much hope, but as a precaution, the seven great kingdoms were trying to preserve a spark of life, which was reasonable.
Currently, some super oases in the eerie world might have had ancestors who were top forces not inferior to the seven great kingdoms and the Four Hegemons of the Shattered Sea.
...
Arriving at Rapids Port, Fang You found it unexpectedly lively.
While some dignitaries were leaving in flying vehicles, many more people were arriving from outside, their faces filled with excitement.
He was surprised and listened attentively.
"Hey, you asked about us? We're from the Ancient Wood Kingdom. We came all the way to Rapids Port, of course, to pay homage."
"Homage?"
"Don't you know? Not long ago, it was the legendary Forest Goddess who saved Rapids Port and the entire Yunhui Great Domain. Look, the fragrance of the Goddess still lingers outside the city..."
Outside Rapids Port, the terrain had undergone a drastic transformation compared to before. The most striking feature was a colossal black celestial body standing in the distant sea.
The celestial body was partially submerged in the sea, with only about one-third of it covered by water.
Gazing up at this massive black celestial body, the awakened individuals could easily imagine how terrifying the battle had been that day.
Fang Tutor, looking at it, couldn't help but exclaim.
He felt insignificant.
The giant celestial body was a trace of disaster.
Where there were traces of disaster, there were also miracles.
Outside Rapids Port, there were still towering trees rooted in the earth, reaching towards the sky. These colossal trees had largely withered after Fang Tutor's power support was withdrawn. The remaining dozen or so had also shrunk considerably, but their scale was still awe-inspiring.
For example, if Rapids Port were the size of a palm, these ruined colossal trees would be like standing tachyons.
On the giant trees, one could still see swaying vegetation and falling leaves.
Remember, this was the eerie world where there was absolute silence and no normal life existed.
If this was not a miracle, what was?
Fang You had deliberately come here to admire... no, from an observer's perspective, to appreciate the power he had left behind.
The more he looked, the more he was awestruck. What immense power this was!
Demigods were like mere fireflies in comparison, let alone mere mythical beings.
"As expected of me, I changed the landscape of a vast region with a wave of my hand. In the future, this place might even become a treasure trove for producing special resources."
"Wait, what's this 'Forest Goddess'?" Da Feng Novel Network.
Hearing the most frequently discussed term among the passersby, Fang Tutor lowered his head and looked at himself, falling into thought.
...
Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Rapids Port, the former City Lord humbly ran errands, serving tea and water like a servant.
But he was not dissatisfied; he felt honored.
The City Lord's surname was Luo. He held secular power in Rapids Port, but he was only a first-tier titled Six-Awakened. Normally, when important matters arose, he had to consult the mythical being who was in seclusion in Rapids Port. However, at this moment, the mythical beings of Rapids Port all wore respectful expressions and listened to the few great figures in the center speak.
The sole titan of the Shuiman Kingdom, the Pure Water Demigod;
The titan of the Yuntu Kingdom, the Old Man in the Clouds;
The titan of the Chisha Kingdom, the Old King of Chisha;
And two titans from the School of Embers, the Myriad Dao Sword God and the Undying Rock Dragon.
Although it was the legendary resurrected Ancient God who saved Rapids Port, it did not mean that these titans had no presence.
They were still heroes who saved Rapids Port, especially the Undying Rock Dragon, who had withstood a blow from a high-level existence.
How formidable was that!
"The legendary Forest Goddess has killed the Great Lord Yujin and eliminated most of the calamities. In my opinion, this disaster is almost over."
The Pure Water Demigod rubbed his chin and said.
Seeing his certainty, Liu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Uh, why are you so sure it was the Forest Goddess who made the move, and how confident are you that the high-level existences of the Black River faction will not attack again?"
"Such power, naturally, belongs to the Forest Goddess."
The few demigod titans wore strange expressions.
Did the School of Embers know little about ancient history? Were they too young?
"Oh, it is said that there is a high-level existence called the 'Lord of Ten Thousand Tentacles,' but with that being's power, it is unlikely that he could easily obliterate a servant of an evil god. Therefore, it can only be the Forest Goddess. However, this Goddess's existence is quite secretive, and her true name is still unknown."
"Her true name? Isn't it the Forest Goddess?"
"No, no, that's different. Forest Goddess was her title in the Age of Gods. This is now the Era of Mystery. To my knowledge, most Ancient Gods have hidden their tracks and changed their titles to secretive names more befitting the Era of Mystery... The reasons for this are unknown.
"Perhaps the Forest Goddess is already one of the secret existences we know, but we have failed to connect the two names."
The Pure Water Demigod paused and continued, "As for the confirmation of safety, *heh*, our Shuiman Kingdom has existed for so long, and naturally, we have some means. Moreover, we have obtained crucial information from a sage."
The demigod did not reveal what this information was.
However, judging by his confident demeanor, Liu Feng decided to believe him.
...
"Sage, an existence of the Ninth Realm among humans, whose whereabouts are erratic and does not reside in any particular oasis for long."
Fang You muttered, recalling the sparse information related to sages.
He pondered, "However, human sages are true high-level existences, not like me, a mere impostor. Having lived for an extremely long time, they must know many secrets, and it is reasonable for them to have some means of confirmation."
"Ultimately, my School of Embers collects information very quickly, but still cannot keep up with the pace of the organization's growth."
Hmm?
Just as Fang You was preparing to return, his intuition suddenly captured something, albeit vague.
The anomaly was far in the distance.
He thought for a moment, drew some world power from the recently replenished Hand of the World Master, and burned it to amplify his divine sense.
Instantly, his perspective soared infinitely, and Rapids Port, Shuiman Kingdom, Yunhui Great Domain, and all things appeared in his mind, as if he had become omniscient and omnipotent.
This was merely a fraction of the power of the Ninth Realm.
With this power, he 'saw' a distant phenomenon in the Central Eerie World.
Black water filled the sky, and red clouds swirled.
Mountains and rivers shattered, and the great domain trembled.
This was...
"A battle between high-level existences? And certainly not just one or two!"
...
Upon returning to the School of Embers, Fang You couldn't help but recall the terrifying scene he had witnessed earlier.
His gaze had not been clear.
The distance was too great. His sight could easily penetrate the space of several great domains at that time, but casting his gaze towards the Central Eerie World without an anchor was still too difficult.
He did not try further.
It would be troublesome if he attracted the attention of the servants of the evil gods.
At this moment,
*Ding!*
"Prompt: Destiny Mission 'Calamity Interception' completed. Mission evaluation: SSS+."
Fang You raised an eyebrow.
Before the great battle began, they had already completed 2/3 of this mission. Later, he, transforming into the Forest Goddess... no, wielding the power of the Ninth Realm, had obliterated most of the sources of calamity in the Yunhui Great Domain.
The remaining ones were quickly eliminated through the efforts of the School of Embers and the seven great kingdoms.
However, there were still some minor sources of calamity in the fringes that had little impact.
In the past few days, the mythical beings of the School of Embers and Xiao Huan had traveled extensively, finally eradicating the scattered, sporadic sources of calamity in the surrounding great domains.
Although it took some time, six or seven days.
However, the impact in the later days was minimal, leading to a good mission evaluation.
"Obtained: Destiny Points x3,000,000"
"Obtained: Secondary Apostle Certificate x500"
"Obtained: Gold Skill Card x50, Gold Skill Seed x10"
"Obtained: Legendary Draw Ticket (Gold) x20, God-Demon Grade Draw Ticket (Red) x3"
...
Fang Tutor glanced at the first three items and skipped over them.
The fourth reward, the Legendary Draw Ticket, was only decent, but the God-Demon Grade...
He couldn't resist and casually tore it open.
Gorgeous crimson light bloomed before his eyes, emanating the profound essence of laws.
"Ding!"
"Prompt: You have obtained 'Law Stele·Fire' (Red)"
"Prompt: You have obtained 'Law Stele·Sword' (Red)"
"Prompt: You have obtained 'Law Stele·Wood' (Red)"
