Chapter 486: Chapter 462: Touch of God’s Thought_1

First Realm, West Soil Pure Land.

Dong Tianze had been led all the way to a valley.

Here, it was like spring all year round, with flowers blooming like brocade, and nature’s spiritual energy pure to the extreme.

The nearby mountains were lush with greenery, full of precious spiritual herbs and trees. From the many open cave dwellings, spiritual energy rose like mist.

In several babbling streams in the valley, lively fish swam joyfully.

Within a few wooden structures, various cultivation tomes were placed; Pills to warm the body and nourish the soul, and bottles of nectar made by refining Hundred Flower Juice were laid out—consuming them could prolong one’s life.

An arrogant White Crane pointed towards a cabin in the valley, gesturing for Dong Tianze to enter.

Upon entering, Dong Tianze saw a girl with a sweet appearance and clear, pure eyes, sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Above her legs lay a piece of Phoenix Bone radiating divine light.

Within the Phoenix Bone, there were several marks branded with the Heaven Phoenix heritage, dazzling like numerous stars.

At first sight of the girl, Dong Tianze knew she must be related to Pang Jian, for they looked very much alike.

"More than a decade ago, outside Solitude Mountain Range in Northern Qi, my brother and I relied on each other for survival. He often went hunting in the mountains, hoping to save enough Silver Taels to send me to private school for education."

"One day, amidst furious thunder and lightning, three people came on a Divine Bird."

"Because I was born with a Thunder Vortex, they took an interest in me and brought me to the Pure Land. On the way, as we ascended to the skies, the remnants of the Heaven Phoenix shattered, and a Divine Bone impressed with the heritage marks fell into my hands."

"..."

Pang Lin immediately and openly shared her experiences.

Her voice was gentle and sweet, like a warm wind on a mountain, seemingly carrying the fragrance of hundreds of flowers, refreshing and delightful to one’s heart and mind.

"The Pure Land wouldn’t let me have contact with outsiders, and they have always carefully protected me, to prevent the Old Thunder Dragon in the Dragon Cave from noticing me. It was only recently, when Sir White Crane returned from Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, that I learned my brother had also successfully left the Fourth Realm shortly after me."

Her lips curled into a proud smile as she said, "I knew it, with my brother’s talent and abilities, he would definitely not be worse than me. I’ve been inquiring about everything related to him recently, and only then did I find out that there’s a Divine Guard by his side."

Her smile was radiant as she said, "I’ve asked you here this time because I want to you examine the Heritage Phoenix Bone for a bit."

As her words fell, the Divine Bone resting on her legs flew straight toward Dong Tianze.

Dong Tianze, who had not spoken since entering, looked at her in surprise and was at a loss for words.

As the chosen inheritor of the Heaven Phoenix, Pang Lin should firmly control this heritage-impressed Divine Bone and use it to bind all Divine Guards like him.

From that Divine Bone, Dong Tianze sensed a kind of control targeting his soul’s imprint, creating a terrifying sensation that even his thoughts and consciousness could be slowly twisted and affected by it.

He had a feeling that if Pang Lin wished, she could use the Heaven Phoenix Divine Bone before him to forcefully erase his rebellious will right then and there.

Pang Lin could fully enforce and strengthen the slave mark within his soul through this Divine Bone!

He would become as he was in the beginning, gradually losing himself, only mindful that he is a Heavenly Phoenix Guard, solely thinking of serving his master with devotion.

Yet now, Pang Lin immediately shared her experiences and handed over the Divine Bone for him to comprehend.

Why?

This thought arose, Dong Tianze did not catch the Divine Bone which was too heavy a burden for him, but asked bluntly, "Why?"

"I’ve found out clearly, you’re my brother’s friend. My brother’s friend is naturally also my brother," Pang Lin spoke earnestly.

Dong Tianze, with his face that seemed innately cold and fierce, stared blankly at her, looking completely bemused.

After a long while, this inherently cold-blooded individual finally grasped the Divine Bone with both hands and sat down.

"I came not because you are my destined master, but because you said you are his sister."

Bowing his head, Dong Tianze mumbled indistinctly, not caring whether Pang Lin could hear him, then displayed the Phoenix Seal on his brow and gathered his Divine Sense to enter the Divine Bone.

He could have bargained, he could have tried, little by little, to break free from the Phoenix Seal.

But he didn’t.

Pang Lin could have used the control within the Heaven Phoenix Divine Bone to forcibly erase Dong Tianze’s rebellious thoughts from his mind and deepen the slave mark to completely control him.

Pang Lin didn’t do so, and instead directly tossed him the Divine Bone that should never have been handed to him.

All because there was a bond between them.

And this bond was that most important person in their lives, someone they were willing to give everything for.

...

Demon Abyss Continent, beneath the Star Moon Valley.

The Moon Vein and the Star Veins stretched from end to end like rivers.

The Moon Goddess, incarnated through Ling Yue’e’s body, drew the essence of the moon from the upper end of the "river," forcibly infusing her blood with Moon Energy.

The moon energy in the upper end of the "river" was gathered bit by bit.

At the lower end, Pang Jian, using the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell, collected the power from both the star and moon veins to strengthen the Star Moon within his shattered Dantian.

The "river water" at the lower end was also slowly diminishing.

As time flowed like the underground river of moon energy, quite a while passed in a blink.

Finally, the Divine Consciousness of an Alien God from the Outer Realm and the thoughts of a youth from Purgatory unexpectedly met in the middle of the Moon Vein.

Both sides were merely seeking more Moon Energy, aiming to engage and manipulate the power of the moon without endowing their Divine Thoughts with aggression.

The contact of their wills was like the accidental touch of two hands.

It was as though two currents of electricity exploded from the point of contact between their wills, instantly reverberating back to their souls.

"Eh!"

The Moon Goddess furrowed her brow, feeling a tingling sensation in her soul as if touched by electricity, and she quickly concentrated more Divine Consciousness, seeping into the earth below.

In her eyes, the spectacle of a full moon and a crescent moon vanished, and the many moon-shaped divine marks on her forehead faded away.

She deliberately concealed all signs of her divinity, maintaining the image of Ling Yue’e.

But the original Ling Yue’e only possessed the cultivation of the Soul Wandering Realm, and she was merely at the intermediate stage.

After Her arrival, She reconstructed her Spiritual Soul, imparting it with Her Divine Consciousness, but that could not fundamentally elevate Ling Yue’e’s spirit and the realm of her cultivation.

Thus, the second concentration of Her Divine Consciousness could only seep into the earth to a limit of three hundred feet.

Three hundred feet was insufficient for Her to shine Her divine will upon Pang Jian, unable to see his features in a single glance.

Contrarily, the moment Pang Jian sensed the unfamiliar Divine Consciousness, he jolted awake.

He immediately focused his attention for a closer examination, and soon saw threads of Moon Veins and Star Veins extending from above, with hardly any Moon Energy remaining in the upper sections of the Moon Veins.

He quickly realized that another person was situated above, seizing the power contained within the upper portions of the Moon Veins.

From deep within the earth, using Divine Sense to explore the world above seemed to be relatively easier.

Thus, Pang Jian saw, sitting within a hole that led directly to the earth’s core, a beautiful woman clad in a white robe.

This woman was imbued with a rich aura of the moon, and even her Spirit Sea of Consciousness harbored considerable Divine Consciousness.

"Like myself, and like Dong Tianze, Zhou Qingchen, she too must have slain the puppets possessed by Alien Gods, claiming the divinity that belonged to those Alien Gods."

"The chaotic times have come, and prodigies emerge; it seems it’s not just a few of us."

In Pang Jian’s mind, he regarded the Moon Goddess as a prodigy who cultivated the Spirit Spell of the moon and had acquired the divinity of Alien Gods.

In the cramped pit where the Moon Goddess was located.

With the level of Her soul, She could clearly see the golden threads crossing beneath the earth, appearing at the extremely narrow hole where only She could stay.

The golden threads were also a form of sight, a Divine Sense capable of observation.

"Not a divine being, yet possessing extremely pure Divine Consciousness — it seems you’ve killed quite a few puppets inhabited by divine spirits. A youth of the Purgatory Human Tribe, daring to hunt our possessed bodies amidst the era of upheaval!"

The Moon Goddess’s face turned cold.

A wisp of Her moon-white Divine Thought stretched out like a tentacle from Her smooth forehead, making contact with a golden Divine Sense that represented Pang Jian.

Once again, a peculiar sensation akin to an electric shock was immediately transmitted to both of their Spiritual Souls, causing the two to experience a numbing pleasure.

The Moon Goddess’s figure was as stable as a mountain, yet Her soul trembled slightly, and the face of Ling Yue’e she bore blushed.

She suddenly felt an odd sensation, as if someone had violated Her spiritual limbs, as if all the Divine Consciousness She had brought to Ling Yue’e’s mind were being caressed by a hand.

As if touching Her true self.

"Strange, how could this happen?"

With this thought, She sensed that the person below reacted just as She did to the electric shock, and was also silently pondering.

Pondering what?

Pondering the feeling of touching Her spiritual limbs, of caressing Her true self?

The Moon Goddess’s eyes turned icy, and in a flash of anger, She prepared to ascertain the other’s situation and force Him out for execution.

"All the power beneath the Moon Veins has been cleanly seized by me; you’re wasting your time. Judging by your condition, you seem unable to collect the Star Power from the Star Veins, so you might as well leave early."

A thought was transmitted through the Divine Thoughts upon which they were in contact.

"Who are you?"

The Moon Goddess asked with a transcendent voice.

"Just a cultivator like you."

After the reply, with some reluctance, the other party withdrew the Divine Consciousness that had invaded Her cave, strand by strand, pulling them back into the depths of the earth

The last golden Divine Sense that was intertwined with Her moon-white Divine Thought, like two hands joined together, also submerged.

The sensation of numbing pleasure that reached deep into Her soul also vanished as the Divine Thoughts separated.

The moon-white Divine Thought that had flown out from Her forehead and remained suspended in the air like a tentacle, still maintained its original state, seemingly not wanting to lose that wonderful sensation, subconsciously extending a bit further forward.

It was like an innate pursuit of pleasure.

Only when She came to Her senses did She hurriedly withdraw that strand of Divine Consciousness back into the Spirit Sea, her body finally trembling uncontrollably, as if possessed, utterly confused.

"What is happening to me? How can the Spiritual Soul of a Purgatory Human Tribe and my Divine Thought connect in such a way? How can I become like this?"

The Moon Goddess was troubled and unsettled, her heart in turmoil.
