Chapter 362: Chapter 363: Divine Pattern Awakening!

Not far from the Ghost Clan’s Residence.

A treacherous mountain range shrouded in dense Demonic Qi, like a black giant beast lying on the earth, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

This is where the Nine Nether Centipede King once resided.

At this moment, a Human Race team stopped at the outskirts of the mountains.

Leading the team were prominent figures among the younger generation of the Human Race, besides Gu Xing…

Shen Ruoxue, Veronica, and Cecilia.

Ying Bing remained in the Snow Country, and now among the Human Race’s younger generation…

besides Gu Xing, the three primarily take the lead.

Therefore, to hone the three, Long Zhenguo assigned them the task of exploring the Nine Nether Centipede King’s territory.

At this moment.

The three gathered and exchanged friendly greetings.

Then, their eyes focused on the entrance of the mountainous range.

Previously, the area was so densely packed with Demonic Qi that it was impossible to enter.

It was only recently that it began to clear up a little.

Apart from the Human Race, many Alien Race teams had gathered here——

including the agile Shadow Wolf Clan, the heavily armored Stone Beetle Insect Race, and several cold-breathed Dark Tribes.

They were all attracted by the former residence of the Nine Nether Centipede King.

After all, a powerful Fierce Beast often needs to absorb Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi simultaneously.

Such places where Demonic Qi converges also often have a convergence of Spiritual Qi.

This implies that there might be rare spiritual materials, ores, or even inheritance relics hidden within.

For these small and medium-sized races, unable to rapidly advance through slaying the Demon Race like the Humans,

finding and consuming heavenly materials and treasures containing pure Spiritual Power is a crucial way to enhance their Power.

And the Nine Nether Centipede King’s lair presents a prime opportunity.

The atmosphere was tense; the various races were on full guard against each other, hostilities almost turning tangible.

Shen Ruoxue and her companions noted this scene, their expressions growing more solemn.

All three of them were at the Commander Peak level.

Not too strong, but not weak either.

And with their Guardian Beasts, they each possess a fighting chance against Monarch Level opponents.

At this moment, Veronica glanced at some of the obviously ill-intentioned Alien Races and whispered:

“The situation inside is unclear. Rather than getting stabbed in the back after entering, should we deal with some troublemakers first?”

Shen Ruoxue replied coolly, nodding: “Alright! This reduces competition and lowers our risk.”

Cecilia also nodded:

“I agree.”

Just as the three reached a consensus, the last trace of visible black Demonic Qi at the mountain entrance finally dispersed entirely.

“Charge!”

Someone shouted, and like a starting gun, the gathered teams rushed eagerly toward the deep entrance.

Shen Ruoxue and her companions exchanged a glance and quickly led the Human Race to join the surge.

…

Meanwhile, the energy within the third Beast Taming Holy Pool was nearly exhausted.

The Divine Pattern suspended in the air shone brilliantly, pulsing vigorously like a heartbeat, drawing out the last thread of pure Energy.

Buzz——!

With a soul-piercing chime, the third Divine Pattern was fully activated!

A dazzling golden light filled the entire Holy Pool space, sacred and majestic.

As if summoned by a powerful resonance, the other two dormant Divine Patterns within Gu Xing’s body emerged from his consciousness.

The three Divine Patterns, like long-lost brothers, shimmered in the air, connecting end to end, slowly rotating to form a perfect and mysterious cycle.

Gu Xing watched this strange scene with slight astonishment.

Before he could delve further, the swirling Divine Patterns suddenly turned into three streams of light, shooting into his brow with incredible speed!

A warm, burning sensation spread across his forehead, as a clear and complex golden mark slowly surfaced, then gradually faded into his skin.

At that moment, Gu Xing distinctly felt an unprecedented closeness to the planet beneath him——

Blue Star, feeling a newfound sense of control that he could scarcely describe.

He could clearly “see” the Void Gates connecting Blue Star to the Alternate Space.

And could effortlessly open or seal them at will!

He closed his eyes, concentrating on experiencing this newfound Power.

On this planet, he could almost summon all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for his use, like a deity.

With a slight thought, Gu Xing vanished from the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

In the next instant, he stood on the familiar yet unfamiliar city street——

Lin Yuan City.

The once border town in his memory had now expanded into a majestic city, becoming one of Longxia Country’s critical cities.

In the city’s central square stood a tall white jade statue, bearing his own likeness.

Gu Xing gazed at the statue, momentarily lost in thought.

“You… you look like Lord Gu Xing!”

A passing little girl widened her eyes, pointing at Gu Xing in surprise, then rubbed her eyes vigorously.

“No way! You are Lord Gu Xing!”

This exclamation spread like a stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately attracting the attention of passersby nearby.

Once people confirmed that this was indeed the Gu Xing, the Human Race’s Guardian deity, the entire square roared to life!

To know, Gu Xing’s name had become a legend among the Human Race.

Under the deliberate promotion of Long Zhenguo and others.

Everyone understood one thing.

Gu Xing is the Human Race’s Guardian deity!

The crowd surged with excitement, eyes filled with immense reverence and fervor.

Unaccustomed to such scenes, Gu Xing disappeared instantly with a slight thought.

The next moment, he arrived at the National Academy in Kyoto.

Here, everything looked drastically different from before.

The original school had been transformed into a command center.

In the largest command room, Ying Xinghe was buried in paperwork, handling mountains of official affairs.

Since the last Demon Race invasion, he had become the main decision-maker on Blue Star.

Seeing an old friend, Gu Xing naturally had to drop by to say hello.

In a flash.

He suddenly appeared in Ying Xinghe’s room.

“Who?”

Gu Xing’s sudden appearance immediately put the elder on high alert.

Soon, from the next room, two Monarch Level presences burst forth.

Since the last Demon Race invasion, Longxia Country had increased its vigilance.

In crucial cities.

Each had Monarch Level guardians deployed.

However…

Upon seeing who it was, they instantly withdrew their auras.

“Gu Xing?”

Ying Xinghe was initially stunned, then a delighted smile broke out on his face, and he hurriedly got up from his seat.

“It’s really you! Please… please sit! Why have you come back suddenly?”

Reunited with an old friend, the atmosphere immediately warmed up.

After exchanging a few polite words, Gu Xing informed Ying Xinghe of Ying Bing’s safety.

Hearing this, Ying Xinghe clearly sighed in relief.

Afterwards, Gu Xing didn’t linger, returning to the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

He roughly understood the Function of the three Divine Patterns.

On Blue Star, he could use all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at will.

Almost reaching the realm of a deity!

However, this Power was limited to Blue Star.

Moreover.

More importantly, with the complete fulfillment of the three Divine Patterns.

The “shackle” long restricting his Level-up seemed to have vanished.

Henceforth, any Energy gained from slaying the Demon Race would wholly become part of him, without the Divine Patterns siphoning it.

This also means…

His Level, long maintained at Monarch Tier One, needed a push.

Understanding this.

Gu Xing’s eyes glinted with determination.

In an instant, he set his new goal.

To elevate his Level to Monarch Peak in the shortest time possible.

Then find a way to break through to the Totem Level!
