Chapter 146: Dangerous Signal

Inside a vast passage.

Gunie flew steadily forward at the speed of a second-tier deity.

"It's been half a year since the incident at the Crystal Glass Tree."

"I wonder how things have developed since."

"If it gradually fades into oblivion, that would be for the best."

"But if someone uses some special means to uncover clues and tries to seek me out, he'd better pray he doesn't run into me."

Gunie mused to himself.

The Gunie of today was completely different from the demigod he had been half a year ago.

As he flew, Gunie occasionally sensed the auras of a few other deities in flight.

Among them were not a few at the peak of the first tier, and even some at the second tier.

And those deities naturally sensed Gunie's aura as well.

Although they perceived Gunie's divine aura to be at the first tier, when they realized that his first-tier aura was nearly comparable to that of a second-tier deity, many of them immediately restrained any unusual intentions.

If he were an ordinary first-tier deity, they would naturally dare to approach.

But one like this—a first-tier deity whose aura's density rivaled that of a second-tier—clearly marked him as a formidable character.

Unless one possessed extremely strong strength, one would not easily provoke such a being.

Inside a broad passage.

An exceptionally fierce battle had just concluded.

Gazing at the despairing divine face on the crown of the peak first-tier deity in his hand, "Balotan" grinned and suddenly crushed it.

Annihilating force directly shattered the divine soul will within the divine crown.

"A mere first-tier deity daring to loiter around here—truly ignorant of life and death." Balotan sneered twice.

Then Balotan continued flying forward on his patrol.

Balotan, a third-tier mid-stage holy deity, was extremely powerful.

In the outer region of the "Ermos Land" at the bottom and middle layers of the Emoko Ancient Sacred Mountain, his strength was among the top.

The outer area of the Ermos Land was his main hunting ground for roaming and preying.

He had obtained quite a few good things in the peripheral area of the Demon Eater Land.

Many of those good things were seized from other people.

Those first-level and second-level gods obtained good things from the Demon Eater Land and then left.

If he encountered them, they basically couldn't escape.

While flying.

Balotan suddenly looked at another area not far away.

"There?"

Then Balotan laughed.

"Another first-level god who doesn't know when to die."

"Although he's only at the early stage of the first level, his aura is so strong that it probably rivals an ordinary second-level god."

"Even if he has the strength of a second-level god, he basically can't escape from me."

"But, why does this god's aura feel somewhat familiar?"

After sensing for a moment, Balotan frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, Balotan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This aura... it's that demigod!"

After sensing carefully again, Balotan's gaze became bright and sharp.

"That's right, it's that extremely powerful demigod."

"Although his realm is at the early stage of the first level of godhood, the essence of his divine power hasn't changed."

Then Balotan laughed.

"I didn't expect to run into this guy."

"Hmm! This guy probably doesn't know that the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom and those powerful fourth-level and even fifth-level gods have long had their eyes on him."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to fly so casually."

"I didn't expect that I would be the one to spot this big fish."

"This kid's strength is abnormally strong. It's said that even at the demigod level, he could threaten third-level gods."

"Now that he has ascended to the god level, he at least possesses the strength of a fourth-level god, or even close to a fifth-level god."

"If I go up against you alone, I'm likely no match."

"It seems we need to summon the members of the 'Intercession Order'."

"First, secretly track this kid's location."

"Once those fifth-realm gods of the 'Intercession Order' arrive, we can eliminate this kid in one fell swoop and seize the Cthulhu treasure in his hands."

"Judging from the fact that this kid advanced from late-stage demigod to god in just half a year, the effect of that Cthulhu treasure is clearly astonishing."

Then, Balotan began using a special communication treasure to send messages to the experts of the 'Intercession Order'.

Half a year ago, a treasure site called the 'Crystal Glass Divine Tree Incident' in the lower region of Mount Ermoko Ancient God had become quite famous.

That treasure site, named the Crystal Glass Divine Tree, attracted many powerful beings.

When the accessible passage opened,

a formidable force from the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom, comprising at least over twenty fourth-realm gods, hundreds of third-realm gods, and hundreds of second- and first-realm gods, entered.

After entering, the many gods saw that enormous, mysterious tree.

Then a fierce battle broke out.

After nearly seventy percent of the strong had been killed or wounded,

the mysterious ancient divine tree was finally occupied by the many experts of the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom.

However, a dramatic turn of events occurred.

At that site of the Crystal Glass Divine Tree,

aside from the massive Cthulhu corpse deep underground,

the ten-thousand-meter-tall, colossal Crystal Glass Divine Tree had not produced any treasures.

So many had died, yet the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom gained nothing.

Such a dramatic scene naturally spread far and wide.

But as the incident continued to unfold, the truth gradually came to light.

First, news spread that inside a passage,

after the destructive energy within the passage gradually dissipated, an extremely powerful demigod had rushed out at great speed.

What was certain was that this demigod's defensive ability was astonishing.

When attacks from a third-realm god struck that demigod, he charged straight through, completely ignoring the attacks of that third-realm god.

Later, after investigation,

it turned out that the enormous Crystal Glass Divine Tree did have treasures—not just one, but nine in total.

But the treasures had vanished without a trace.

Because the first batch of gods to enter had not seen any treasures inside the Crystal Glass Tree, which was encased in thick, mysterious barriers.

Later, through a powerful being's scene-recall talent,

it was discovered that the treasures had still been there before the many experts entered.

But then the treasures had inexplicably disappeared.

Putting it all together, it was easy to draw a conclusion.

That demigod, relying on his incredible defense, had withstood the annihilating damage of the passage.

He had entered the Cthulhu treasure site ahead of everyone else.

Then, just as the Cthulhu treasure site was about to open,

he had directly taken the treasures from the Crystal Glass Divine Tree and escaped through the passage.

As a result, the others, unaware of this, had fought fiercely among themselves.

In the end, all the benefits were taken by that demigod.

After this situation was confirmed,

the top fifth-realm gods of the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom at Mount Ermoko Ancient God—the 'Divine Generals'—were extremely enraged.

They had suffered so many casualties, yet all the gains had been taken by that demigod.

Naturally, this was something they could not tolerate.

After a thorough investigation,

the Divine Generals of the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom extracted the demigod's divine power aura from the souls of the gods who had fought him.

Then they began an all-out pursuit of that demigod.

However, after escaping, that demigod knew the danger and went into complete hiding.

The experts of the Black Demon God Divine Kingdom tried many methods but could hardly track him down.

Balotan never expected that today, he would run into that demigod here.

Although he had already ascended to godhood, that did not change the fact that he was destined to be hunted down.
