Chapter 1444: Chapter 535: Unknown Gods_3

However, the strange subordinate deity suddenly shattered with a ’pop,’ resembling a cracked egg. Owen Bertram and his companions were baffled as the Little Princess was suddenly surrounded by the quivering void, enveloped by a thick shell and changed into the appearance of a Giant Egg Subordinate!

Upon looking back at the shattered giant egg, Owen realized it had already disappeared.

The Giant Egg Subordinate captured Princess Amelia and flew towards the deity. Owen held the Dragon-slaying Artifact but found that in just an instant, he and the Giant Egg Subordinate had diverged in space-time. The moment the Giant Egg Subordinate took action coincided with the brief overlap of the two spaces and timeframes.

Owen furrowed his brows and opened his Thousand Doors Eye, trying to find a bridge that connected the two spacetimes. However, the deity and its subordinate had already gone far away. A wooden sculpture of a dumb bird suddenly appeared behind the giant egg, floating and following the latter last.

The Divine Temple gradually vanished, as if it had experienced hundreds of thousands of years in an instant, leaving behind just a low wall with a layer of Divine Ashes underneath.

Princess Amelia, a Tire-7 Demon Saint, vanished without a trace, abducted by the ominous forces present after just a brief encounter!

National Master’s expression was grave: "Something’s wrong. James doesn’t have such power. If he dared to enter, it means there is some sort of rule hidden within the Tail Demise Palace, and it is not an absolute death zone."

Owen looked around, asking, "National Master, do you recognize those statues of gods?"

The National Master also noticed this oddity, shaking his head: "These are not deities in the history of our Eight Desolates World. Neither are they in the absurd legends; such deities do not exist!"

Owen recalled in his mind: the first statue of a god he had seen was fragmented but had a face tattoo and emitted a red light from its eyes. He could discern that its face resembled a human’s, but it had three nostrils. Its body was like an altar, with no limbs, possibly other organs, but the statue was shattered and destroyed.

The statues they later saw in the temple were stranger than the last. Most of them were not humanoid, including the one that captured Princess Amelia, which had an abstract humanoid form and a face very different from humans and the Demon Clan.

"It is said that this place fell to the world before the Heavenly Track Reversal, according to Princess Amelia’s original words. Presumably, the Demon Clan’s legend says the same thing. But why would it fall to the world? Could it be that it originally belonged to the Heaven Realm?"

"The Demon Clan’s legend says this place is a divine palace, but the Heavenly Palace slipped into the Chaotic Void, not falling to the world."

"If a palace from the Heaven Realm fell to the Lower Realm, it would definitely be expelled by the world rule. It should have been burned to ashes directly, and any remnants would not have left so many relics."

National Master speculated: "Perhaps it is not so powerful, but a palace from a different level of the world, which inadvertently intruded into our world."

Owen also speculated: "Or perhaps... it is the divine palace before the Heavenly Palace, and it was the fall of this divine palace that led to the rise of the Heavenly Palace."

National Master asked: "How do you explain the appearance of these deities that have never appeared in our legends?"

"The history of the Eight Desolates World might be even longer than we know. Before the birth of the Bai Clans, there might have been even earlier beings, and these deities were their beliefs. When they perished, these deities lost their followers and thus vanished."

National Master shook his head: "This speculation is bold, but there is no evidence to support it."

Suddenly, Owen daringly stretched out his hand and wiped a bit of Divine Ashes with his fingertips! The National Master was shocked: "Have you gone mad?!" Owen looked at the Divine Ashes on his fingertip, suddenly appearing as if he was intoxicated, his soul muddled and eyes gradually turning dark red!

The faint Divine Ashes turned into a pure sense of contamination, invading Owen’s body through his fingertips. Owen seemed to be trying to resist, but the National Master was anxious and took the risk to open her Mini-world to help Owen suppress the invasion. However, once contaminated with Divine Ashes, it was almost impossible to wash them away.

National Master quickly discovered signs of her Mini-world being contaminated, so she hastily withdrew it and contemplated using different techniques like Talismans and Curse Skills to help Owen. But these conventional techniques proved useless against the Divine Ashes.

"What on earth are you trying to do, willingly contaminating yourself with Divine Ashes?!" The National Master couldn’t understand, as she had no other options. She grabbed Little Black Tortoise from her sleeve: "Do you have any ideas?"

Little Black Tortoise nodded: "Yes, but he can’t use it. The best way to remove Divine Ashes is to ignite the Divine Fire within oneself and use one’s divinity to eliminate the contamination."

The National Master didn’t know what to do anymore.

But Owen did know. The National Master was right, James was only in the Fifth Realm back then, and had been focusing on research in the Demon Clan’s Drunk Heart realm. His boundary would not have increased too quickly, at most just reaching the Sixth Realm or, less likely, the Seventh Realm. He dared to enter Tail Demise Palace alone because he had mastered something that could ensure his safety.

This "thing" could be the operation rules of the Tail Demise Palace mentioned by the National Master or a key to control the palace. But Owen didn’t have many options; he needed to understand the operation rules of Tail Demise Palace quickly. Choosing to let the Divine Ashes contaminate him was a convenient way to assimilate and understand the palace’s operation rules.

As for how to wash away the contamination of Divine Ashes, Owen was somewhat confident. After all, the River God had become very powerful, with many followers in the Summit Basin and within Nanni Nation.
