Chapter 908: 235. Advance to Mortality-Shedding! _2

In other words, if Fang Ze repays the money within a year, it won’t be just 2 billion, but 2.852 billion Lini. If it can’t be repaid this year, next year it will be 4.067 billion Lini. It’s truly a high-interest loan!

Once the debt drags on to the third year, Fang Ze almost certainly loses the ability to repay, and there’s a high chance of a massive loss!

Or to put it another way, if he can’t pay it back in the first half-year, the remaining year and a half would just be a slow death. Unless he throws caution to the wind, just to survive.

Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

This time, he really got in over his head.

However, if Fang Ze had to choose again, he would still make the same choice.

After all, in a time when every second counts, who knows if humanity can last another ten years? Being able to make his Heart Aspect complete fifty years earlier, Fang Ze feels it’s worth it!

With this thought, Fang Ze no longer hesitates and begins to experiment with the effects of his Dharma Aspect.

With a thought, the Golden Bell, as large as a hill, shrinks rapidly, landing in his hand. Like the Pagoda-Carrying Heavenly King Li, he holds the small bell in his hand.

Then, Fang Ze tosses the Golden Bell into the sky, and it instantly enlarges, soaring above Fang Ze, strands of golden light hanging down, enveloping his entire body!

Immediately, the Shadow Warriors, who had been on alert, received Fang Ze’s mental signal and charged out from the shadows, launching an assassination attempt at Fang Ze!

They, ghostly and elusive, move through the shadows, waiting for an opportunity. Fang Ze deliberately doesn’t dodge, leaving an opening for them!

Sure enough, they seize the chance, raising their long knives high and slashing towards Fang Ze!

But just as the knives are about to strike, something miraculous happens. The delicate golden light, although seeming ethereal and light, acts as the strongest defense, dispersing all the force of the attacks!

Whether it’s a saber, a spear, or a heavy hammer, none can budge the golden light, nor harm Fang Ze in the slightest.

Though the Shadow Warriors’ attack power is relatively weak, such a method of defense still leaves Fang Ze very satisfied.

He nods slightly, then with a thought, the Golden Bell above his head splits into six.

One remains above Fang Ze’s head, while the other five descend upon the five weakest Shadow Warriors!

In a moment, as the golden light showers down, those five Shadow Warriors are also protected by it. Under Fang Ze’s command, the other Shadow Warriors swarm them, attacking together!

But, just as when facing Fang Ze, the golden light, though seeming weak, can still repel any attack!

Witnessing this, Fang Ze nods in satisfaction once more.

However, as he nods, suddenly, his Dharma Aspect shatters, transforming into speckles of golden light that return to his body.

Fang Ze stares at the scene in front of him, momentarily stunned, then remembers: Although his Dharma Aspect is almost perfect, he’s merely an Awakener at the peak of Yang Transformation.

An Awakener at the peak of Yang Transformation can only momentarily summon and use the Dharma Aspect. To have it appear at any time without limitation, he must reach the Mortality-Shedding stage, allowing the Dharma Aspect to fully integrate with himself!

Thinking of this, Fang Ze retracts the Shadow Warriors, then looks towards the direction of Tuoya State.

He possesses the Mortality-Shedding Fruit given by Old Mr. Bai, but..... in Xida State, he dares not use it.

The commotion of transforming to Mortality-Shedding is too great. As the actual territory of the Federation, any birth of a Mortality-Shedding stage will be detected by the Federation.

And he, currently, cannot be exposed to the light.

So, if he wants to secretly become Mortality-Shedding, he must head to the enemy-occupied Tuoya State to accomplish it!

Thinking of this, Fang Ze doesn’t rush; he first enjoys a hearty meal in Congyun City and rests for a night.

The next morning, he leaves Congyun City, taking the Flower God with him as he heads alone to Tuoya State.

This visit to Tuoya State is purely for a breakthrough, and he must return to continue comprehending once the breakthrough is complete, so time cannot be dragged out for too long.

Therefore, upon leaving Congyun City, he hastens towards Tuoya State, searching for a place to break through!

....

Meanwhile.

Tuoya State. Provincial Government.

In the council chamber, the demigods have convened another meeting.

Venerable Yuan Gu looks at the demigods beside him, asking gravely, "Still no news of Garo?"

Several demigods glance at each other, and finally, the Peacock God King speaks, "Venerable, not yet."

He says, "Rest assured, we have dispatched hundreds of Believers to search the borders of the two states. As soon as there is news of Garo, you will be the first to know."

Yuan Gu evidently has a close relationship with Dahei Jialuo, so upon hearing the Peacock God King’s words, his expression softens slightly, "Alright. Notify me immediately if you hear anything."

"Additionally, I shall march to Xida State tomorrow! Are your preparations complete?"

Several demigods promptly respond,

"All set."

"Rest assured, Venerable."

"Yes, everything is ready."

Only then does Yuan Gu slowly nod...

He lifts his head, and though his skull-like face shows no expression, somehow there is a sense of cruelty and ferocity...

.....

Meanwhile, in Xida State, at the Provincial Government. He Weidao’s residence.

He Weidao is discussing Tuoya State matters with Inspector Xiong Qi and Black Shark, the head of the Special Service Department.

He Weidao, "The Demigod from Tuoya State descending as a being of destruction is ill-intentioned. And such a Demigod only comes to the human world unless it’s for a decisive battle. For him to arrive so early, he must have a special purpose. The Special Service Department must find out no matter the cost."

Upon hearing this, Black Shark frowns, "But what purpose, apart from himself, is likely unknown even to the other demigods, how can we possibly ascertain it?"

He Weidao also furrows his brow deeply, pondering how to solve this mystery.

The room falls into silence.

As time passes, suddenly, from several thousand kilometers away, a beam of golden light shoots into the sky, illuminating a majestic golden bell in the heavens!

At that moment, all three, He Weidao and his companions, involuntarily gasp, then look up.

A moment later, Xiong Qi coughs, "It’s a promotion to Mortality-Shedding. But it’s not within our territory, it’s in Tuoya State. Seems like a new Believer master or vessel of the demigods has emerged."

Meanwhile, in Tuoya State, the several demigods in the meeting are also taken aback. They exchange glances, noting the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Moments later, the Zeng Family elder hesitantly asks, "Not one of our Believers or sacrifices?"

"Humans so bold? Advancing in our controlled area?"

"I’ll go check it out!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu’s hollow eye sockets flicker slightly, and after a moment, he says, "Go ahead. Liu Shui, you accompany him."

Another demigod stands up, "Yes, Venerable."
