Chương 169: The Messenger of the Main God

"Richard, hurry up and agree to my mother's request. Being an envoy of the main gods is not something an ordinary person can do. Even a powerful expert at the level of Purgatory Asura might not be chosen by the main gods."

The gods cannot recruit an unlimited number of messengers; my mother only had four slots available. If you miss out on my mother, it will be almost impossible to become a messenger for another god.

Moreover, once you become a messenger of the supreme god, the supreme gods will usually bestow upon you a supreme artifact. Don't you want that?"

Lei Sijing thought her mother just wanted to recruit Richard in a normal way, but she didn't expect her to directly offer the position of Chief God's Messenger.

But after a little thought, he realized that Richard's potential and abilities indeed deserved an envoy position.

So he then urged Richard to accept it quickly.

Richard did not hesitate and repeatedly expressed his willingness to accept the invitation.

It's a good invitation; his trip was worthwhile.

He has achieved his goal.

After he agreed to become the messenger of the main god, the main god Zijing bestowed upon him a pot of the main god's power, saying that he could ask for more when he ran out, and that the main god's power would be plentiful.

It's quite generous indeed. Many of the chief gods' messengers under the chief gods have to perform tasks in order to receive the chief god's power as a reward, and even then, it's only a hundred drops each time.

It's relatively rare for a deity like the Bauhinia God to bestow a pot of wine before even starting anything.

"According to the agreement between the main gods, we can only bestow one main artifact upon the messenger of Moxia at most. Richard, what kind do you want? Physical attack? Physical defense? Soul defense?" asked the main god Zijing.

"God, give me a sword-shaped weapon," Richard said after thinking for a moment.

He wanted them all, but he could only choose one. If he chose a main artifact for physical or soul defense, how would he distribute his many clones?

Defensive main artifacts should be worn at all times.

The main artifact for material attacks is different; the main body and all its clones can share the same artifact.

"That's easy." With a flick of her wrist, the Goddess Zijing produced a pure black sword. Wisps of destructive aura emanated from it, and the mere sight of the sword caused the space to ripple, as if the space itself could not withstand its cutting power.

She doesn't have many soul defense artifacts, as they are quite difficult to make. However, she does have quite a few physical defense and physical attack artifacts.

For her, these things only require a little effort to nurture, and she can cultivate a batch of them.

Just like how god-level powerhouses nurture their divine artifacts.

Richard's gaze was immediately drawn to the pure black sword. Compared to it, even the superior artifacts he used seemed unappealing.

With this sword in hand, his strength would increase by more than a thousand times.

The Purple Thorn God chuckled and handed him the black longsword in his hand.

Richard took it with both hands, examined it carefully, and felt an overwhelming aura of destruction. Just holding it in his hands, he could almost see the world being destroyed and everything coming to an end.

Richard instinctively wanted to swing his sword and destroy everything in front of him, but thankfully he managed to restrain himself.

Since the Zijing Goddess is a destruction-type Goddess, the divine artifact she nurtured is naturally also of the destruction type. This pure black longsword is clearly extremely aggressive.

Richard sheathed the Destruction Sword, which would remain his primary weapon for a long time to come.

He certainly didn't doubt whether he could possess god-level combat power; that was for sure.

Having come this far, as long as he proceeds step by step, it's uncertain whether he can become a supreme god, since it depends on whether he can obtain the supreme godhood.

It's not even certain whether one can achieve the Great Perfection, since the final step of profound fusion also depends on opportunities and insights.

It is certain that they possess god-level combat power.

Having roamed the myriad realms, his combat power can continue to increase as his original world expands.

It is foreseeable that they will possess strength comparable to a Great Perfection Upper God, or even comparable to a Main God.

As long as he doesn't do anything reckless and dies halfway through, that's fine.

Richard felt he was relatively shrewd and that surviving until then shouldn't be a problem.

But how long will it take to get to that point? Ten thousand years? One hundred thousand years? Or a million years?

In any case, Li realized that it would take a relatively long time, and before that, this sword of destruction would probably accompany him in his battles.

"I don't have anything for you to do right now. You should find a place to cultivate here first, since your strength is still a bit lacking," said the Purple Thorn God.

Once you become a messenger of the main god, you naturally need to work for the main god; otherwise, why would the main god recruit you?

Richard was also mentally prepared for this. He also knew that the Bauhinia God was usually quite peaceful and lived in seclusion.

It's estimated that he won't need to do anything for ten thousand years, so he can be considered a very easy-to-serve main god.

Isn't this the right person to follow?

Richard casually chose a spot here, where he usually cultivated, occasionally sparring with Resjing, essentially playing along with a rich young master.

It was at this moment that Richard revealed his Death God clone.

"Wow, you actually have a Death God clone? And a high-level god at that? No wonder you're a genius," Resjing praised.

However, for someone of his status, a high-level god of ordinary strength is nothing special.

In Hell, there are many who cultivate to the level of a high god within a thousand years, such as Resjing himself.

Back then, his cultivation speed was also very fast. As a rare amethyst divine beast, he was born at the god level and cultivated to the level of an upper god in just a few hundred years.

However, compared to humans who cultivate from ordinary people, they do not have the advantage of having a divine clone.

From the very beginning, they had no choice; they directly became gods within their bodies.

The cultivation process begins only after one becomes a high-level god. The path progresses from an ordinary high-level god to a five-star demon, a six-star demon, a seven-star demon, a purgatory asura, and finally to a great perfection high-level god.

Each step is more difficult than the last.

This is what he admires about Richard: in less than ten thousand years, he has raised his strength to the level of a seven-star demon.

His mother even believed that he could become a high god within ten thousand years and become a top expert among the Asura level in Purgatory.

As for whether one can become a Great Perfection Upper God, that depends on luck.

If Richard can truly become a high-ranking god in one fell swoop, then his mother will have made a huge profit this time.

Even if it doesn't work out, my mother won't lose out; it's just a matter of how much she'll earn.

"Do you have any other divine avatars? Show them to me." Leisijing was particularly curious about this question.

"Uh, yes. I also have a high-level life god avatar and a mid-level water god avatar, but those two god avatars went to the life god realm," Richard said honestly.

"You mean you cultivated four divine avatars in less than ten thousand years? Two of them are high-level god avatars of the rule system? And one is a seven-star demon-level wind-type god avatar?"

"What kind of monstrous talent is this? Are you the illegitimate son of the Supreme God?" Resjing quipped after a moment of silence.

That's because you don't know that there will be another prodigy in the future, whose four-element soul has mutated and who will surpass the Great Perfection in less than ten thousand years.

Even in the end, it didn't take tens of thousands of years to transcend the entire world. How can you explain that?

Richard thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

He knew very well that his talent was far from being that strong, and it was all thanks to the chat group. If it weren't for the chat group, he would at most be a mid-level god of wind or water, and his strength might not even be close to that of an upper god.

Well, maybe we can add one more lower-level god of fate, but that's about it.

"How strong are your Life God clone and Water God clone? Don't tell me they're also seven-star demon level," Resjing asked after finishing her rant.

"I reckon the Life God's clone is probably around the level of a seven-star demon, while the Water God's clone isn't quite there. It only fused with the mysteries of three laws, so at most it's only at the level of a six-star demon," Richard continued his barrage of attacks.

Given the strength of his Life God avatar, unless he remains inactive, the Purple Thorn God can easily find out if he wants to; hiding it is meaningless.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I can't take it anymore. I shouldn't have talked to a monster like you about this." Unable to bear the blow, Lei Sijing stormed back to cultivate.

The Bauhinia Goddess watched with a smile from her secluded place. With her divine sense, even the divine sense she unconsciously emitted could easily cover the entire Bauhinia Mountain Range.

She felt that keeping Richard around was a good thing, at least Resjing had become much more serious about his training. Having such a prodigy as a comparison was indeed very stressful.

She really struck gold this time; she had obviously heard what Richard said earlier.

It can be said that Richard has a high probability of achieving the highest level of godhood in the future.

In the eyes of the Zijing God, his wind and life elements have a high probability of achieving the Great Perfection High God status.

Even his water element has a certain probability of achieving the Great Perfection Upper God.

Reis Crystal went to cultivate, so Richard's only task here was to cultivate. When he got bored, he would go up to collect amethyst.

Leisijing knew this guy hadn't been in Hell for long and was a complete pauper. Apart from the pot of divine power bestowed upon him by the Amethyst God, his wealth was completely disproportionate to his strength.

So he wasn't surprised by it.

As for the Bauhinia Goddess, she didn't care about such a trivial matter at all, as long as Richard didn't hollow out the Bauhinia Mountains.

And so, Richard's wind god avatar and death god avatar in Hell took up residence in the Bauhinia Mountains.

They have money, free time, and connections. They live a very leisurely life.

As for the power of those main gods, he had already distributed it, giving a thousand drops each to his Life God avatar and Water God avatar in the Heavenly Realm.

Although the Death God clone stayed with the Wind God clone, it also prepared 100 drops as a backup.

He also took a thousand drops for his own research. His world's origin power was still far inferior in quality to the power of the main god, which was the difference in raw strength between him and the main god.

Then, a thousand drops were also distributed to the earth god's avatar who was guarding the home in the Tara plane.

Now, even if an unknown Asura-level powerhouse emerges from the dimensional prison, he can hold out for a while, waiting for his other clones to return and provide support.
