The Era of Gods

Chapter 356: The Protagonist Dies at the Beginning

Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but ask:

“A new way, what way?”

She answered:

“Reincarnation and rebirth!”

“Reincarnation and rebirth?”

“Yes!”

She explained:

“You need to split off a thread of your will, devoid of any Divinity or Divine Power, and descend through reincarnation, directly becoming a native of this world. This greatly reduces the risk of being discovered. However, there’s a downside that can’t be resolved at the moment: since you can’t carry any extra strength, after your reincarnation you will need to solve the mysteries of the womb on your own to awaken.”

Lin Xiao…

“Isn’t that even harder?”

Waking up with memories of a past life without carrying any extra strength is a difficulty that he knew was extraordinary.

Although the essence of a reincarnated soul is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and the probability of awakening is much stronger, if the probability for ordinary people to awaken is one in several billion, then their probability of memory awakening is about one in ten thousand. This may seem like a many times higher chance, but a one in ten thousand chance is still terrifyingly low, no wonder the success rate is so low.

“That’s why I didn’t recommend this world to you. It’s just too difficult. Countless elites have been stumped by the first step alone. You may need to attempt it hundreds or even thousands of times, splitting your will hundreds or thousands of times, or even more, to possibly awaken.”

“And awakening the memories of a past life is just a prerequisite. What follows is you’ll need to establish a faith domain while only being slightly stronger than an ordinary mortal.”

At this point, Jin Sisi paused, then said:

“Due to the peculiarities of this world, you don’t need to establish a faith domain. Just standing your ground and successfully obtaining the power of that world to advance to a Transcendent Totem Knight would count as meeting the condition.”

“Is it that difficult!”

Lin Xiao was quite surprised by the difficulty.

However, he thought again, if he descended in this way, the difficulty seemed relatively lower compared to other methods.

Because if it were other methods of descent, a thread of soul and will would need to be split off and projected into that world. Although only a small part is split, which won’t affect the integrity of the soul, it is still a soul, and if a large enough number is split, it would still impact the True Body.

But if it’s through reincarnation, it’s different. Although a thread of soul still needs to be split, which is necessary, the amount of soul required is extremely little, not even a tenth of what the previous descent method required, equal to ten times more descents without impacting oneself.

Regardless of the high difficulty, with ten times more attempts at descent, there will always be a chance of success.

Regarding this, Lin Xiao had his own considerations. He possessed the Creation Magic Cube, and his last experience in the Nightmare World proved that his chances of awakening should be higher than others’.

Of course, that was also because it was a True-Body Descend in the Nightmare World at the time, with a soul and Divinity far beyond ordinary people, which made it easy for anyone to awaken.

In that case, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind to descend into the fifth world.

Three parts determined by fate, seven parts dependent on one’s efforts.

With his fortune, these three parts were already mostly set.

With his strength plus the Creation Magic Cube, he could at least get the better half of those seven parts.

Altogether, his chances of success were definitely stronger than those of other Sons of the Divine Realm.

After sharing his thoughts with Jin Sisi, she was not surprised. Instead, she praised him, saying:

“Although I didn’t think you needed to take this risk, this world is indeed the best place for you to utilize your fortune and potential. Once you succeed, the joy from Gaia Will and the benefits in itself are incomparable to other worlds.”

“Given this, I will negotiate with the military on your behalf as your headteacher, to fight for your rightful privileges and benefits. You have one month to prepare. I will give you some information, and when the time comes, you should prepare accordingly as indicated in the information.”

Having said that, Jin Sisi stood up and left, crisp and decisive without any dilly-dallying.

It wasn’t long before a set of information was sent over. It was a specially collected internal document, obtained by the Radiance exploration team in that world, exclusive to Radiance.

The information marked some top-secret details known only within Radiance. His current strength and potential were high enough; otherwise, other high-school elites would not necessarily have access to it.

After combining this information with the internal documents sent by Xie Yufei, Lin Xiao had a certain understanding of this world.

After returning to the Divine Realm, his first reaction was to look towards the Heavenly Divine Realm and the vast Heavenly Cathedral. There he sensed a powerful aura that even amazed him.

Years had passed, Slarda had already advanced to a Mythical Hero, and his strength had reached the upper limit of what the Divine Realm could contain—Rank 9 pinnacle!

As the Divine Realm Master, the moment he entered his Divine Realm, he felt that astonishingly powerful presence. Before even catching sight of it, he could sense that force field that slightly warped space itself, emanating an awe-inspiring strength like that of a grand furnace.

Hero: Slarda.

Race: Asura Naga.

Rank: Mythical Hero.

Hero Aura: Essence Extraction—converts 25% of the damage dealt to enemies into life essence to replenish one’s own health, stamina, and mana, among other energies. The aura’s radius extends for 30,000 meters, with allies within the range receiving half of the effects.

Unique Talent of a Mythical Hero: Overbearing Divine Body—Slarda’s unique talent, a fusion of the Mythical Hero talent and his own innate talent.

Agility: 300+300 points (When you run, no one can see you, only feeling a gust of wind as you pass by.)

Spirit: 300+300 points (To describe you as wise would be an insult; you can see the essence of things at a glance, insightfully without omission, and nothing in the world can sway your mood; you will maintain absolute rationality.)

Evaluation: This is a unique, Mythical Hero with the potential to slay gods. He is the embodiment of strength and wisdom, now loyal to the truth and the creator!

Formidable, fearful!

This was Lin Xiao’s only reaction after seeing Slarda’s attribute panel. The panel alone was an indication of its exaggeration, and he felt the evaluation was entirely true. Although Slarda might not be able to slay gods now, demigods would certainly not be a problem.

According to the common classification of the Main World, Rank 10 is the demigod tier, and not all the native demigods can necessarily defeat him.

Hmm, now Lin Xiao himself was not certain; if his Divine Power reserves were not abundant, he might not even be able to defeat this core member of his Clan.

Fortunately, he was the Creator, the creator of Slarda and the Supreme Naga species. As long as he did not court death, they would never betray him.

With such a mighty Mythical Hero, Lin Xiao felt full of confidence about the future when descending upon other worlds to face their demigods.

With anticipation, he cast his gaze into the Heavenly Cathedral, but the next second, he was taken aback.

Inside the central hall of the cathedral, a dark golden Naga, smaller than a typical Supreme Naga, knelt before his statue, emitting a terrifying aura that twisted space itself. A familiar sensation allowed him to recognize at a glance that this was Slarda, but his physique…

It had not grown but shrunken.

Before the ascension, Slarda’s body spanned several tens of meters. Now, it was less than ten meters long.

However, sensing his arrival, Slarda, with his high spirit granting him extraordinary intelligence and keenness, became aware of Lin Xiao’s puzzlement. Rising slowly, his body swelled rapidly right in front of Lin Xiao’s eyes, quickly transforming into a huge creature with dark golden Dragon Scales, over a hundred meters from head to tail. An indescribable shockwave erupted, and the radiant energy of the cathedral surged, staunchly holding back the sudden, twisted flux.

“Excellent!”

Lin Xiao exclaimed with great joy. Both the power and the transformation pleased him greatly, and he did not skimp on his words of praise.

An hour later, Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, his face still beaming with a smile. After sitting in thought on the throne for a while, he refocused his attention on the Dwarf Tribe of the Earth in the Earth attached divine domain, considering

“He needs to forge a more powerful set of weapons!”

In the center of the Earth’s attached divine domain, the race of Earth Dwarves had completely disappeared, replaced by tens of thousands of skin-red members of the Crimson Furnace Clan, who were busily renovating the original City of the Earth.

The Crimson Furnace Clan had some different habits from the Dwarves. After all, they were born immune to fire, inherently possessed extremely high body temperatures, and each knew a bit of fire-based spells, meaning their original living areas were clearly unsuitable.

Lin Xiao scanned over the Crimson Furnace Clan, his gaze finally resting on two Rank 7 leaders, one male and one female. He still held a Hero promotion authority, which he intended to grant to one of them.

It was a fortunate coincidence that the two leaders of the Crimson Furnace Clan were one female and one male. Externally, they looked quite similar, making it hard to distinguish their genders at first glance, and their strengths did not differ much. The leader who had ascended earlier was slightly stronger, but only by a slim margin.

However, the criteria for his selection of a Hero was not solely based on who was stronger or who had ascended first, but rather on potential.

Yet, speaking of which, the male leader of the Crimson Furnace Clan, the first to break through the race’s limits to Rank 7, was certainly the one with the highest potential. Therefore, Lin Xiao did not dwell on the decision for long and quickly resolved to bestow this opportunity upon
